GPS

I want to make sure I have the correct steps for the GPS issue of not locking onto a satellite.

Make a nandroid backup of CM7

Restore a sense ROM (like Bamf)

**Assume I can do this from a nandroid backup (I have tried them all!)

Turn on GPS within Settings>Location, leave it on

Restore the CM7

And all is right with the world?

Thanks for your help. I do read all the threads but sometimes I need to put a solution in order to make sure I have all the pieces.

I have my phone set to vibrate always and I think there is a bug when a number calls that is blacklisted the phone endlessly vibrates like it would if an incoming call was made. When this happens i have to go into settings and turn vibration off then back on again to force it to stop. Either that or Google voice may be causing it as well. Hard to tell since blacklisted callers go directly to voice mail I'm assuming. Anyone else experiencing this phenomenon?

[Thunderbolt Android Development] doomedromance:
The mobile hotspot and Wireless tether wouldnt ever work for me on custom romsso I've been using stock. Now that the cable guy finally came I want to go back to cyanogen. how is the update and Im on the New radio how do i go back to the old one to use this ROM?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] arcanexvi:
Update's fine.

Download the Vanilla radio (223r), drop it on the root of your sd card, rename it to PG05IMG.zip, reboot into HBoot. Make sure you have the rom installed first. If you need further help than that i would suggest hitting up the IRC channels.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] arkshel:
I'm not getting any data is this a known issue? Im using stock radios.

edit, lol found it here:

NEW METHOD!!!!

1. Make sure you are on CDMA/EVDO Auto

2. Switch to LTE CDMA/EVDO and you prolly wont get a signal but run fix permissions

3. Switch back to CDMA and reboot

4. When you are back from reboot wait for solid 3g and then switch to 4g

5. profit ??

Hope this may help some of you!

After many hours of trying different combinations of radios, PRL versions, wiping to stock and back, along with the help of PackFanJason, I have figured out how to get 4G on CM after the VZW Fiasco.

Just follow these steps and you should* be able to get 4G first try!

1) You will need to obviously be on test 4 of Cyanogenmod.

2) Next you will want to grab this radio ( http://db.tt/8bCSwWr ) This is the stock radio, for some reason you MUST BE ON THIS RADIO. My guess is that VZW set the towers to only look for this specific version to connect for 4G.

3) Place that on the root of your sdcard and make sure that it is named just PG105IMG.zip ( I dont remember the exact number ) or whatever just the last part of the file name is.

4) IMPORTANT STEP before flashing the radio in HBOOT, make sure that your have your wireless setting on CDMA/EVDO AUTO, NOT LTE/CDMA EVDO Auto. I flashed it this way the first time and it didnt work.

5) If you have done all of the above, you can now go into HBOOT and flash the radio

6) Upon reboot make sure that you let the phone sit for ~3 minutes while everything sets itself up, one you have waited go to the wireless settings again and switch it to LTE/CDMA EVDO Auto. If you lose signal right away, you did something wrong from above and repeat the process. Most if not all of your will see the 4G icon pop up and VOILA

**Some suggestions if it doesnt work**

Some suggest running Fix Permissions via Rom Manager with the 4G setting turned on and then rebooting.

If it does not work the first time do not flame the thread, each phone is different no matter what you say. Everyone has changed things a little different each time so this is for the majority

As always if you have questions hit me up on Twitter or in IRC at #slayher on freenode.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bigd5783:
I just flashed the newest build. I decided to bite the bullet and just go for it and I must say this has come a long way from the first alpha build. I am very happy with this build. I haven't found anything wrong with it thus far other than of course the 3G/4G issues but hey its alpha.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] pitchblack86:
Every so often I'll look up and see the 4 bars for service drop to none and then pops back. Last time around it wasn't doing that...2 questions...

1: is everyone finding 4 to be better or have you went up to 6?

2: I noticed sound is pretty quiet in calls so I flagged the volume fix zip and all I got were bootloops. Anyone have same problem?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Farva0412:


I am running test 6 and my data does not drop, except wen tethering once in a great while, all I do is turn data back and I am great. Haven't really tested Wi-Fi since i don't have it. GPS feels instant but actually Max 6 second lock. Battery has proven great. Bout 11-12 hours. With moderate use. Call volume is low but haven't tried fix yet. Netflix is good but choppy, seems to run faster and smoother on sense GB. Also haven't tried camcorder yet.

My biggest problem is wen I am on the phone, the screen comes back on and my cheek either mutes the call or hangs up.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SUB-dawg:
Awesome ROM, using this as my daily driver but still cant get 4G to connect even with using the method. Any tips?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Farva0412:

[Thunderbolt Android Development] SUB-dawg:

[Thunderbolt Android Development] themikeyan:
I use a modified version of the old trick and i think i've finally got it working 95% of the time for me... if you get to a point where you don't get 4g, go ahead and choose evdo/cdma auto. Get a solid, all green 3g. Load up a web page so mobile data is active, and while mobile data is active i switch back to cdma/evo + lte.

Seems to do the trick for me. In fact, i may only need to do this once every few days. Unless i get into a really 4g dead zone, then i have to do it when i leave that location to get 4g back later.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] BBCasper:
I would use this Alpha if I didn't have this one gaping problem. Maybe you guys can help solve it for me. For every build (I haven't flashed #6 yet for this reason).

Anyway, when I first flash the ROM, everything works perfectly. Just a few hours later, I will only receive text messages when I place a phone call (yes, I always have mostly full bars). When the radio begins to transmit, I get bombarded with texts from hours before. I cannot receive incoming calls either, that is, unless I place one and get the radio working first.

Is this just an issue with the radio or what? I haven't seen anyone else complain about this, so it has made me curious.

Halp! I'm so tired of Sense.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mrchambo:
What radio and kernel are you using?

jc
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BBCasper:
At the time, I was using the leaked GB radio as it was required. Just saw that it doesn't require it anymore.

I never flashed any alternative kernels, so whatever was with the ROM.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] toebee76:
This build of CM7 was designed to work with the radio that came with your TB. Check the OP for which ones.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mcmillanje:
GB radio was never required, in fact that's probably the source of your problem.

In the words of slayher: "I won't force anyone to use anything leaked."

this rom works best with stock froyo radio.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BBCasper:
Wait, you're right. I got this mixed up with Das BAMF.

I was on the latest Froyo radio. But I tried them all to no avail.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pitchblack86:
All is back and fine. Just can't get the proximity sensor to work right like on bamf. Screen is always turning on when on call. Only other thing is in call volume is low. Flashed both the volume fix zips and still quiet.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] darkrom:
Question. If and when gb is released, will that speed up cm7 development? I appreciate what we have now and use it as my daily driver, but I can't wait for the nightlies. I'm assuming once gb is not a leak, it will be incorporated into cm7?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DeadStiff:
The ril(radio interface layer) is the holdup. Even if we get a factory GB it won't help with the ril. The manufacturers do not release that source and needs to be written from scratch.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] chayesfss:

I'm a couple of days late after a busy weekend and a few other people have posted solutions for flash not working completely but I wanted to comment that this version (10.2+Hulu) solved the issue for me. The market version of flash (10.3) would work in Opera Mobile but nothing else. The modded version of 10.3+Hulu wouldn't work in any browser for me. Just some info for others that were having issues. Thanks to everyone for the help.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] themikeyan:
been using this .6 as my daily rom all week, and while I love the stock Kernel, Imoseyon's latest leankernel for cm7 is magic... black magic. No battery stat wipe, from 100% battery and 10 minutes of constant use, browsing, etc, down 1%. No more instant 3-5% drop after pulling it off the charger.

Fast charging, finally figured out the kinks in my 4g/3g data handoff... i'm sold, I loved CM for the inc, love it even more on the tbolt.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] wotdsm:
Yesterday my phone died, when I turned it back on I was able to acquire 4G without toggling. I don't know who, what, where, why, how, etc.?

I was at my gf's last night, she is not in a 4G area. Phone was still on CDMA/EvDo/LTE auto. Phone died at her place, arrived at home, charged, rebooted, 3G kicked in and then 4G.

My theory: when I turned the phone back on I think it was only looking for 3G (as opposed to being stuck in dataless 4G mode) upon boot, then after a second it acquired the 4G
[Thunderbolt Android Development] n2imagination:
Thanks nikolai! Will do
[Thunderbolt Android Development] McFluffnStuff:
I think RC06 has my phone doing random reboots.

I was doing some battery tests and was checking to see how long it would last before dieing. I went to sleep with it on for 18hours and woke up to it at 4 hours, meaning it rebooted sometime during the night. Then, just now, it rebooted after checking some email.

It never used to happen before on RC04 but it started on RC06

I'm on the stock kernel. You guys think I should switch? Is there a kernel that you guys have been running without reboots?

How is this even a big deal to people? You shouldn't even need to reboot more than once a few days when everything is set up.. and even then it takes literally ten seconds for my lte to pick up in Chicago after I have 3g
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lrs421:
It's a big deal for some because this rom uses the official radio, the same radio believed to cause the random reboots, which for some can happen multiple times through the course of a day. I'm lucky, I believe my phone has done it less than 5 times in 3 weeks, my bosses phone reboots 2-3 times a day.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jgrimberg1979:
You couldnt have said it any better!!

The dummy who responded first asking why is was a big deal, #1 its a big deal because it still a buggy rom so reboots are going to happen and #2 because so of use flash kernals, themes, or take the battery out to replace and #3 for many of reasons which i dont care to expand on.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] avlfive:
Some things that may not be a big deal for you, may be for somebody else. Who cares why. If it's a big deal for him/her, then it is.

To answer that question though, there are NO ETAs for CM, and any status updates would probably happen through github (if you want to check that, I don't know anything about that stuff so I don't) or through Slayher's twitter (@LayherDaddy) and I haven't seen any updates lately from him about it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trebb:
My data drops a lot on top of all this... the other day it had 4G, then went to 3G, then no data. I switched to CDMA/EVDO and I got 1X.. like wth? I can't deal with that.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
I too tried it and for a few days all was well. Then all of a sudden my signal went to all white with no 3G no 1X nothing at all. No connection able to be used. I decided at that point I'll wait until it gets further along in development. It's pretty good for an alpha build though that's for sure.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] kkozma:
The biggest issue is the wifi -> 4g hand off. I mean it's to the point right now that I hate sense so much and love CM that I actually just leave 4G off which totally defeats the purpose of this phone. Hopefully it gets resolved soon but with Slayher being away, I just don't have high hopes.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ncwildcat:
Slayher said that the rom is based on original radio, not .402 that causes the reboots...people really need to read and not complain so much about this rom, it is alpha so if you find something's that isn't right report but don't put in unnecessary comments such as "deal breaker" or anything. Alpha means buggy. If anybody can do a better job then jump in and help, otherwise please just post facts. Reading pages upon pages of complaining is no help at all

I had the same problem and went to the radio thread linked to from here and grabbed an appropriate radio. also, i have the car dock bug too, but if you get an app called "Car Mode" in the Market, it will initiate car mode which will let you open whatever car dock/mode app you like to run. I've got a tasker profile setup to run this Car Mode app when i charge the phone on AC power and orient it to the left (basically simulating me putting it in the car dock charging cradle).
