[Defy Android Development] donb123:
It is not. I have tried multiple ways to get Wifi calling to work and cannot.
[Defy Android Development] bmar08:
-------------------------------------------

so you have Tmo?

is everything else working basically on Tmo?

reason why im asking is becasue in a Noob install guide i have read in many places that after flashing a rom you have to re-configure the 3G on a USA phone or else you would only pull from Edge and that part of the guide is like Greek to me...
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
@bmar08:

Don't worry and give it a try.

There is an app called Defy Baseband Switcher included in CM7 and it allows you to select about any carrier from all continents... Tmobile is there.

Follow the guide. Root, install Sndinit and make a nand backup of your current state before you install CM7 so that you can easilly go back if you're not fully happy w CM7...which I doubt btw.

And for wifi calling, I've been using Skype without any problem and I'm in China...so needless to say more....
[Defy Android Development] Corwinder:
I actually have Walmart Family Mobile powered by T-mobile. Around here there there is only Edge service but about 45 minute drive to take kids to a dentist there is 3g there. While in the waiting room I noticed I was still on Edge. Rebooted the phone and it showed 3g. But after a few more seconds the 3g changed to an H. Not sure what the difference is since I haven't researched it yet but I'd say that H was at 3g speeds. I did not have to reconfigure any apns. 2 were already present and I would have thought the one labeled T-mobile would be the one to use. But the one labeled Simple was already connected and that's what I've been using since I first installed CM7.
[Defy Android Development] Corwinder:
Hmm I wouldn't say any carrier on any continent. As I've mentioned before I have Walmart Family mobile. I do have Roaming authorized but no matter what I do I have never been able to get it to list any of the other carriers around here. T-mobile actually used AT&T towers here so I see AT&T along with Walmart Family. Why don't I see US Cellular and Verizon? They are both very popular around here because they have very strong signals in the area.
[Defy Android Development] binodnepal:
Build 9 1723

I am finding it much better then the previous one.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Ok my bad but hence the word "about". But generally speaking carriers use the same 4 or 5 frequency bands so reception should be possible no? Don't know about specific carrier's specific offers though. But CM7 skill worth a try; I'm sure you'll agree...
[Defy Android Development] onlyshe:
All the Version of CM7 have a bug on my defy:

[Defy Android Development] hottracks4:
Ok guys.. I just upgraded from Beta 6 to the newest nightly, 1735, no wipe, just dalvik wipe and flashed, and it's awesome!!! Its faster, smoother and battery life is a bit better.. :D

No bugs that i can pinpoint except maybe the GPS, it's a bit jumpy and sketchy.. Doesn't pinpoint my location exactly, keeps wobbling here and there around my location with accuracy ranging from 4-9 metres.. I've had pinpoint accuracy before so don't see any reason it shouldn't happen now.. Should i clear the location folder and try again??

And i had already changed the region pool thingy in the gps conf, do it everytime for every rom b4 flashing it and has worked every time except this time and locked on within 10 seconds everytime in every rom..

But this time it took almost a minute to lock on and then wobble here, wobble there, wobble wobble everywhere, around me in close proximity but still... :P

Edit: And also confirming that the Meizu theming works on it flawlessly too!! It looks awesome!! :D
[Defy Android Development] donb123:
You should see Tmo cause that's what Wally is reselling. You won't see Verizon cause they're CDMA and you're on GSM. Two different animals.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
Thanks again :)

Seems to work fine... but i am testing the new 179 sbf and cm7 dont want to boot with it for the moment :/
[Defy Android Development] xanadu:
Same here with .179, nandroid restore does not work (only black screen after restore started) nor cm7.zip (bootloop)
[Defy Android Development] andrrei22ro:
i can confirm that too
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
ok, ive made a special version to "upgrade" from 179 if you want...

it is named "cm7-110610-downgrade-179.zip"

the difference with other nightlies : that will update boot.img (kernel) with the one from 3.4.3-11 (6 march)

the new versions (and this "downgrade") have now the open "bootmenu" ^^ oh and ive set the charge led disabled by default
[Defy Android Development] floydz:
Idk if theres a config on menu, if so i couldnt find, but how can i make the wifi stay online when the screens off? Whenever the phones goes to 'sleep' wifi goes off and just come back when the screen is back on. I know its to save battery, but i would like it on all the time like froyo.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
There is an option in DroidSSHd if you want for that...

But : Go to wifi settings (where you have wifi ap list) and press menu (adv config) there is a policy for wifi
[Defy Android Development] mineIsAlreadyTaken:
Settings -> Wireless & network settings -> Wi-Fi settings -> *here press Menu* Advanced -> Wi-Fi sleep policy - set to Never
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
The next nightly should be interesting, I see lots of GIT changes, mostly related to bootmenu/recovery. Now with a self compiled bootmenu/2ndinit, let's hope it will all work!

Recovery now is version 4.0.0.0 too?!
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
v4.0.0.0 is buggy.... sdcard cant be mounted... i wait upstream fixes, we are working on bootmenu right now :) maybe recovery can be rewrited properly
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
In that case, 3.2.0.2 is fine, upgrade full of bugs needs the pesticide treatment first!
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
New nightly is up, someone can confirm it upgrades and boots properly? I may worry too much after so many nightlies, but this one should contain the changes in 2ndinit.
[Defy Android Development] arpith.fbi:
where can i see the changelog in each nightly??
[Defy Android Development] andrrei22ro:
latest nightly-safe to install-everything runs well
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:

i was playing a little with latest 2.3.4 beta from motorola...but i returned to cm7 cause i like it a lot,it is much more strong and good looking,more manly :D but i have to admit that beta was having a super smooth and fast system,incredible
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Never gonna install Motorola's 2.2 or 2.3 ROMS, I hate what they have done to the Contacts/Dialer app, and I hate BLUR even more!
[Defy Android Development] linkus:
hey guys im so sorry if this have been brought up a million times before, but is the camera on the green lens even take pictures on this release? :)

Thanks a bunch in advanced :)
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Works fine for me :cool:
[Defy Android Development] linkus:
Hmmm... is it to har to revert to stock ROM from Cyanogen ?

I really want to try it out, but if the cam wont work im not so interested :/
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
If you follow the fixed sbf method described in the FAQ, you can downgrade anytime as long as you have your current ROM's .sbf file.

As for alleged battery problems, running RC0 and just got home from work on my bike... used mytracks both ways (35 min each way) plus running music thru bluetooth headset, wifi and gps on all day... 72%. On eclair my battery would have died by now.

CM7 rocks!
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Thanks Xanadu...I almost asked for people to post this kind of data this morning...

...I'll do it myself and my last miles of testing 110608-0020 nightly; gave it its first drain power to zero today.

Don't know if it will survive 3rd full charge or not...it seems perfect but not having 5MP Wide picture (which I liked in RC0) might make a new nightly testing interesting tomorrow... we'll see.

Red lense power !!!

:p
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
@ Xanadu again:

Look at your numbers: RC0 used about 7mV per hour and the nightly about half of that (at ~3.5mV/hr) while the battery percentage drop is almost double for nightly (for the roughly the same test duration)....

Doesn't that seem weird?

Did you reset battery stats at any point and did you let the battery cool down for long enough after finishing the charging each time?? coz your nightly run seems to have started slightly warmer...

You're lucky: these days, the cooler my battery gets is 31C; throtling at around 34C and at about 39-40C under heavy load.... I expect my standby battery discharge slope to be a little steeper tonight...
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
As it summer here, my battery temps won't be low no matter what I do save putting the defy on the fridge! I seem to get good standby time with the latest nightlies though, battery calibration has taken place of course.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Cool (or not cool...depending)!

Question: has the wide pics option been back in the last 2 days?

I did reset battery stat last night after full charge, but I can tell you that to squeeze those last 6% out of the battery seemed to last longer the any any 20% previous drop...

I don't hold my breath on the exactitude of the numbers; it feels like trying say how much gas there is in an broken gauge and leaking old Pinto's gas tank...

But the fridge might very well be a good 'controlled conditions' test chamber for testing the stanby discharge... but forget the signal reception...it's makes a Faraday cage - although those Chinese DO like plastic :p
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
No widescreen photo in latest nighties. I assume Quarx did it on purpose until he manages to fix the remaining issues with the camera. It was a specific GIT commit that commented out the widescreen resolution.
[Defy Android Development] stapuv:
what app is this???
[Defy Android Development] mineIsAlreadyTaken:
I second stapuv's question ..
[Defy Android Development] nepotu:
I think the app is Battery Monitor Widget.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Ok thanks, good to know.

I knew it was coming when (soon after RC0) someone wrote something in the likes of : "I'd rather have properly working 4:3 pic formats then a wide buggy mode".

Darn green lenses!

I vote for a CM7 setting lenses color switch ..and the return of the wide pics - even with stretched preview thumbnails....

But then again, they have lots on their hands at the moment I believe...official CM7 intergration, new and/or self-cooked bootmenu and SndInit... serious stuff!!
[Defy Android Development] dew.man:
Anyone else having a problem with the latest nightly where all pictures are being automatically deleted off the sd card?

Hoping it's just a corrupt sd card...

I can play YouTube 720p video with no lagg , am on latest nightly as of today. I can try the same video as you are trying if you pass the link.
[Defy Android Development] Fotogravin:
One thing that really worked to get a smoother defy with less battery-drain: reflash the nordic-sbf and reroot, reinstall all things.... I know it's a bit drastic, but it worked for me. Wipe cache and dalvik cache didn't solve my problems

Good thing: I had a good backup with titanium backup
[Defy Android Development] Sir Flashalot:
Can somebody please confirm if the new 34.179.2.MB525.Retail.en.GB can be used as sbf for CM7? According to Epsylon3 this morning it didn't work:

running test build and im not having any issues with hanging up calls or reception or wifi with WPA-PSK. compass also works but does appear to lag a bit. GPS and aGPS also work thought took 1-2 minutes to get a lock (was accurate down to 5ish meters. also noticed there was a gps icon up in the top bar :D

will run it all night and report back on battery and such tomorrow.

now i don´t have any problems with Calling.

You are the best.

I have tested 5 numbers and called every number 5 or 7 minutes.

P.S: Compas works :)
[Defy Android Development] m11kkaa:
I know, other things are more important, but I think this wouldn't take you much time(I hope so):

Can you change the battery-status so every App shows it in 1%-steps?

Currently, only "MotoCharge" can do that. It would be nice if this is possible.
[Defy Android Development] Antszej:
Camcorder and camera doesnt work for me.

Even camera360 and lgcamera.

Advanced 3d doesnt work too. Only games with OpenGL ES 1.1 works good. You should fix this problems, if you fix it - cyanogenmod 7 on defy will be a revolution.

Earlier i have told in the forum saying that SKYPE have FC and Exchange not working. Now I did Beta1 > wipe all > Test Build > compatibility patch > gapps> reboot in 2ndinit.

after that i face pbm in still in SKYPE (FC). exchange ok (may be previously have 3g issue for connection). Camera no preview (only dark) but still take image. i thing still do the patch for this as said earlier by quarx.

Please some one give input on this.

In Weather service, Geolocation if enabled it is saying unknown city. he cannot identify bangalore other rom can identify.
[Defy Android Development] Mehu:
Did you try 'ledefy'? I'm using it instead of Motocharge (in other ROM) and it shows also 1%, with widget and notification bar icon.
[Defy Android Development] m11kkaa:
I don't know where the problem is but I my phone hanged up and automatically rebooted two time, now.

First in the settings-menu, second time in the market.

Is there any known problem about that?

@Mehu: I cannot find the app anywhere but the sense of my question was that I don't want a app running in the background.

[Defy Android Development] K r i ll e:
Is there anywhere I can get hold of Beta 6 now? Can only find 5.1 and the RC0 just gives me some crazy bugs (Even on fresh install). Black screen with lit softkeys some times, sluggish system with no wifi (like its running in max. 100mhz or something and it says "error" in wifi options) and no network so the phone is kinda like a brik. This happens randomly and while the phone sleeps so you never know when no one can reach you. Reboot solves it.

I also have a lot of hanging and the memory card boots up r/o, I have to change manually with root explorer.

I have the same oc. settings I have always used since day 1.

The no network problem thingy happend on Beta 6 too but after some baseband switches it stopped, but no go now. Beside that I had none of the other problems, and using the same 16gig mem.card since eclair that have always worked.

[Defy Android Development] darklord408:
on 110610-2006-nightly

After 4X zoom display becomes garbled from the camera (green lens)

I was thinking if the libs/camera drivers can be taken out of the releases and be put on a separate zip so everyone can choose appropriately. (green/red)

Just a suggestion
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
if you have problems with a recovery, you can take it from the last zip and replace the old one in :

/system/bootmenu/recovery/sbin/

The lastest nighly can have a little display bug (like show 4 bootmenus in weird colors) if you are in bootmenu before bootanimation... a clear screen fix is needed for that... to be continued... good night !)

oh, also, and its not new : when you are in bootmenu and use the "Boot" menu, the photo app will not works... So it is better to reboot the phone after CPU Setting changes...

2nd-boot option now allow a different profile (they are the same for the moment) and use the non opensource 2nd-init tool (the one from RC0)
