Can you please try setting the read cache back to 2048 to see if it could be related to voltage? .. and then the other way around - read cache at 128 and undervolt back to your previous values.
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
THERE IS NO NEED FOR ALL CAPS. Really. Epsylon3 is already working on it.
[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
The stable ROM will appear when CM team will release the stable CM7. Quarx, Epsilon and Maniac work with porting this ROM and implement some particular additions.

Hope that CM final will be released soon because there are rumors that Google will release Ice Cream Sandwich in October in the same time with new Nexus. It will be a marketing move, to release them before iPhone 5 and IOS5.
[Defy Android Development] Zerobarat1:
I read an article in which Google made contracts or at least discussed with all Android manufacturers that Ice Cream will also homogenize reduce the heavy fragmentation that Android finds itself in. Compared to iOS, Android developers need to optimize application for way too many hardware types and android version (1.6, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3). It would be nice if motorola would scratch Gingerbread alltogether and bring us Ice cream :P. At least ArmV7 devices should all get Ice cream.
[Defy Android Development] arpith.fbi:
motorola is very lazy in case of upgrading its phone..we all know..
[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
We can dream that but...as arpith.fbi said, we all know that Moto is lazy, or maybe it has an capitalist marketing that implies consumerism and that can work only in few countries (USA, UK, Canada) but not in Asia, rest of Europe, rest of Americas.

I wish but the reality is not what we wish.

Would be great if Google will force the manufacturers to collaborate. At least Android is Google's propriety.
[Defy Android Development] Fekish:
are you saying for nightly builds, or "official" version? Because there wasnt an update since last month...
[Defy Android Development] Zerobarat1:
Yeah well that's what I read in Google's statement. Wish I could find the article. It was somewhere in dailymobile.

But yeah you're right about Motorola. They're doing the most WTF?! thing ever, they're releasing a Defy+ with an OC'ed CPU which we all know that 99% of all current Defy's can go to 1ghz with even less of a Vsel than the one used for 800 mhz. I for one discovered that indeed I can go to like 1100 mhz with stock 58vsel rock solid, now that I finally understand a bit of how this phone thinks.
[Defy Android Development] remuseu:
i`m saying exactly that the link for rc1v2 is updated for any major improvement on the system
[Defy Android Development] motobird:
just flashed latest nightly (cm7-110812-1116-NIGHTLY-Jordan.zip) and now after turing on wifi a "Tethering or hotspot active" icon appears on the notification/statusbar. it takes me to tethering (with wpa settings) but touching it gives an "Error" message and nothing happens.

my wifi still continously disconnects after 1 min, maybe it's related?
[Defy Android Development] Football Fan:
Ok after spending some time playing around with some other Roms, i feel like getting back to this. The question now is whether to flash Nordic, SEA or CEE? I'm on fixed 2.3.4 rom at the moment.
[Defy Android Development] gubshi:
I'm gonna try that, I got batterydrain on most new nightlys and on MIUI. I tested today with an old nandroid of a nightly that's still on 2.3.4, and batterylife is much better. Reporting back in 1-2 days if this works :)
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
I did that and the 179-6.1 GB kernel did NOT make any noticeable difference in terms of battery life.
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
sony ericsson too.. ;)
[Defy Android Development] gubshi:
well, what else is different, appart from android now beein 2.3.5? I read some threads about the SGS and their CM7 suffers also from batterydrain.
[Defy Android Development] iammodo:
My sgs cm7 lasts a day at work needs charging at the end of the night. Mobile standby is a bit high but the sgs still has ril problems.

My defy is a bit better battry life but the galaxy s has a bigger sexier screen.

[Defy Android Development] enigmo:
Screen Won't Wake Up During/After Calls

Apologies if this has already been dealt with, but a search of the thread didn't reveal anything and github shows something very similar to my problem: When I make or receive a call, I can answer and the screen goes blank but doesn't wake back up. If I move the phone away from my ear to a more horizontal plane the screen should wake up but doesn't. Also, when I press power the screen should wake up but doesn't. It worked OK initially when I installed CM7 last week but this behaviour has cropped up over the last few days. The screen only reactivates if I plug in the USB cable. Failing that, I have to pull the battery.

Any advice?
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:
yeah, it happens occasionally. try to plug it to a power source - it usually fixes it temporarily
[Defy Android Development] neogsantos:
Just installed cm7-110812-1116-NIGHTLY-Jordan (about 2 hours)

In the config page I see

Android Version

2.3.5

Kernel Version

2.6.32.9-ga28fcc4

jfqk83@zch68lnxdroid07 #1

Mod Version

CyanogenMod-7-110812-1116-NIGHTLY-Jordan

Version Number

Gingerbread GRJ90

Well... I was getting a 3% per hour of my battery now its 1%

Apparently not too much diferences.

I was wondering if the devs could put an feature that i see in the froyo!

On froyo I used to attach facebook profiles with my contacts.

So when their profiles changes in facebook, my contacts would be updated automatically

Is that too difficult?
[Defy Android Development] Perilla_:
Its CM7 sensor problem. Use "in-accurate proximity" in settings to wake up the phone after a call.

Too, when the screen is black during a call and you need do something, you can "clean" with your finger the sensor, one or two times to get it working. Its a very common problem.
[Defy Android Development] Ricardo_Is:
if you alredy have Facebook for android installed, go to device Configuratios/Accounts & sync, find your facebook accont and enable to Sync Contacts.

It will save in your contacts book, but remenber to setting: Go in Contacts (phonebook) touch Contacts label/Menu/Display options/ "Only contacts with phones" must to be disable coz some people didn`t setting to show phone number at Facebook profile.
[Defy Android Development] Ricardo_Is:
Wi-Fi lock enabled on DroidSSHd.

In DroidSSHd / Configurations of system / WiFi lock enabled I had a strange issue.

2 hours trying to connect Wi-Fi after close the DroisSSHd and no find wireless signal.

Someone can explain why it happens?!

Maybe can be coincidence but after disable this feature in DroidSSHd, can find and connect Wi-Fi normal.

I never had Wi-Fi problems in more than 3 months at home and office D-Link router.
[Defy Android Development] gianvy:
Swype

I already searched but dedraks 3d related to swype for CM7 and Miui is not reachable.

Can anyone post a zip file to be intalled by recovery that contains at least italian english and french languages?

Thanks for your help!

EDIT: Solved, all languages supported in beta 3.0
[Defy Android Development] Ricardo_Is:
Install Swype beta.
[Defy Android Development] Zerobarat1:
Installed latest nightly 1116 build and UI seems a bit more fluid.

Wiped only cache and Dalvik
[Defy Android Development] psicodelico:
downloading the source code...this will take a looonng time

[Defy Android Development] TimelesslyPrecise:
Good got someone's attention... Exactly what my caps was aimed to accomplish.. :]

to create awareness of the wpa2 tether fix :]
[Defy Android Development] vick33:
No, you are completely wrong. Epsylon3 was working on it long before you written that. You should have looked what happening on github.

For pushing the devs you would be banned on official CM forums and it would be completely right. That is the only thing i waiting for the official nightlys ther will be a little more order and the dev thred wont be full of junk.
[Defy Android Development] ibu2002:
Running the latest nightly i get some unexpected errors while connected to wifi.

It tells me it is connect but i can't open a website for example.

I have to disconnect to my router and reconnect, then it works for some minutes.

Andy idea?
[Defy Android Development] Zerobarat1:
My wifi works fine, but I do get that weird Wifi Tethering notification...
[Defy Android Development] syl0n:
Any update on the CM7 official merge? Seems the forum was deleted from cyanogenmod site.
[Defy Android Development] sp8y:
Yes same here - wifi works fine but get the tether icon when turning wifi on/off & I couldn't find how to disable it other than a reboot which did the job.

Other than that the build seems fine for me.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
The earlier reply you got, + if the same contact is listed as two diff contacts then go to one of them, click menu and edit, menu again, select join and then select the second contact to combine them :)

On a different note, I'm not able to keep up with the slew of nightlies coming in, by the time I download one another one is uploaded :/

Sometimes two nightlies a day!

Come on don't work so hard devs! :D :P /kidding
[Defy Android Development] motobird:
same here as i already reported yesterday. plus in latest nightly barnacle tether gives me this red dhcp related error message (never did it on 0808 nightly and i changed nothing related):

Ricardo_Is I already did this

BUT this is not the point!

In froyo was like this. I've synchronized the contacts... so far so good, my facebook contacts are displayed ok

I had, for example, Ricardo as my contact in my SIM card

the I found Ricardo in facebook and I added him!

Then I had an option to attach both contacts and make just ONE

Did you understand?

[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
Open contact -> menu -> edit -> menu -> combine (or whatever it's called in English) -> select Facebook contact -> done.

Is this what you want?
[Defy Android Development] Kaffeekranz:
Just for your information:

Launcher Pro seems to FC a lot less frequent at startup when DISabling it's memory setting "prevent force closes".

I haven't noticed any downside from changing this entry yet..
[Defy Android Development] delerium82:
In the latest nightly I could not see crystal talk settings in sound menu, am I wrong something, or it's just not there?
[Defy Android Development] sp8y:
It's in "Call Settings" near the bottom of the list under "Voice Quality".
[Defy Android Development] delerium82:
No, it's not there. I don't know why does not appear.
[Defy Android Development] sp8y:
Strange - which nightly are you using as I had this feature in 110808-0622, 110809-0713 & 110812-1116 nightly builds.
[Defy Android Development] delerium82:
In the latest nightly - 1116.
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
You need to look at the phone settings, not the sound settings.
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
I am missing the Setting -> Location & Security -> Lock Timeout option in the latest nightly (cm7-110813-2132-NIGHTLY-Jordan).

Now I am forced to enter my pin every time the screen turns off - before I had a timeout set of 20 minutes. Is this a bug or a new feature?

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] hailmary:
Im getting fc in the knightly 110812-1116... screen just freeze & message dsp is need to close then frozen..reseat battery always.

I dont know wat s wrong..but im will try latest one.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
Cyanogen has implemented the feature differently :

It is now in CyanogenMod / Screen lock / Delays

It is a bit hard to understand, but if you use AOSP pincode, password or diagram, you can set different delays to security and slidelock

In fact i dont use PIN code to speed up reboot times... maybe the implementation we had should be reapplied ... there is still problems with all these lock settings... a part i dont like in CM7

else ... the last nightly has USB Tethering (adb must be disabled for that)

and, in the 110814 one, Bootmenu has now USB Drivers and... System Nand mount ability

This last feature (NAND) is an advanced one, which can be dangerous, but can help to understand problems after a bad flash...

It is like Mass storage, but for system disk... I will maybe not let this feature like that in the future... You can destroy your phone if you touch system partitions or try to resize partitions :p
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
Thanks, I figured it out and have now the same pin lock timeout/behaviour as before (by using the more complex Cyanogen options).
[Defy Android Development] hailmary:
Im tempted to that partition resize thing...but might destroy my defy.^^
[Defy Android Development] hailmary:
So this mean, even if we plugin the defy on any pc...it will be recognized & will not need to have to install usb drivers for the storage access on the pc?
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
in fact it is a mass storage mode before android boot... which is fast enough to make backup of the 1.2GB userdata partition ;p

USB Drivers are the official motorola drivers
[Defy Android Development] dtevegas:
Hi,

great rom which has given a new lease of life to my defy. Lately though am finding the battery performance of the latest nightlies not so great.

about 2 weeks back was getting well over 2 days, now have to charge daily. Not sure if it coincided with the 2.3.5 update or not. Hardly run any apps and sync two email. of course didn't keep note of the one that worked very well (update about weekly)

phone idle (41%) and cell standby (31%) seem to be the heavy consumers.

my questions:

- anyone have similar issues?

- can you drop an old nightly back on?

- how can i debug battery drain?
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
1: Yes ...

2: Yes ...

3: Dunno really, debugging will use more cpu :p
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
Let me explain the new USB Nand bootmenu feature

connect your phone to a linux PC (or virtualbox/vmware)

Select the option in Bootmenu tools

dmesg should display :

so... type this command to make a full backup !

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1065798

goto Step "2) How can I install CM7 RC0?" - ignore RC0, it could be any version (ie, RC1 v2 instead).

As long as you're familiar with using RSD to flash an sbf file ("Reboot from Stock Recovery with Volume Up pressed to enter Bootloader Mode, then open RSD Lite and flash Nordic") - that's the hardest bit IMHO... and that's OK providing you have a good sbf to start (as in the download links in the FAQ).

There is another guide also in the "Defy General" section

@Epsylon3

Would restoring a full image/backup taken with the new bootmenu nand feature do the same like flashing a full SBF?

E.g.: dd if=./fullnand.img if=/dev/sdd bs=256

If so, would it be possible to incorporate bootmenu 1.01 to Defy 2ndInit so it can be used with stock froyo to backup your phone before installing CM7?

And then later restore it back to stock if needed for warranty for example.

Thanks

Ok, not evening yet, but I had a chance to play with this. When I activate tethering, a usb0 device appears on the computer, I can bring it up with 'ifconfig usb0 up', but then running a dhcp client, it doesn't obtain a lease. Any tips? Any further info I can provide that would help?

maybe it's an individual problem, wifi has been never perfect for me since i upgraded to cm7. i guess i should reinstall cm7 on NORDIC base, or try rc0/rc1v2 on current CEE base. i never tried them, just jumped into nightlies directly as being suggested in our local hungarian defy forums (bunch of people there are using nightlies without problems, installed directly on CEE and no prior RC flashing).
