Mustang302LX - I sent you a PM, when you are not busy can you take a look?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pinhead875:
I just turned off wifi and 4G came on instantly!!

And I just went into Google Maps and got a lock in under 5 seconds!!!1
[Thunderbolt Android Development] concept0:
I still have to toggle to get 4G on RC1.2 with MR2.5 radio.

I was on RC1.1 using 3G only. I double-wiped data, cache, dalvik, and /system before flashing RC1.2. Rebooted before flashing gapps then restored apps with TB.

I get 3G data on boot if I have it set to CDMA/EVDO. But I can't get 4G without toggling twice between 3G and 4G.

I tried connecting to 4G and running fix permissions. Still no data (4G or otherwise) after boot when set to LTE auto. I've tried waiting a long time - I just don't get any data until I switch to 3G only.

Any advice?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Adrozz07:
What kernel are you using?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] boristhebladexx:
wifi didn't work for me on MR2/2.5 either.

on MR2.5 i couldn't even connect to google servers and kept getting an error during setup. when i flash MR2 it went away, but wifi never connects. it says "authenticating" then disconnects over and over again.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] idkwhothatis123:
Try mr2. 2.5 gives me all sorts of issues
[Thunderbolt Android Development] concept0:
Isn't MR2 the one that could potentially brick my phone?

In any case, if I'm going to install MR2, can I do it by taking a nandroid backup of my phone with RC1.2, flashing the radio, and then restoring the backup?

Or is there an easier way to do it?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hlsant:
Thanks. This worked like a charm. GPS is now locking in quick.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] CBMC:
There have been 3 leaked GB Radios. The MR2 and MR2.5 where after the brick radio, though I am not sure what the brick radio was called. That being said, I am not sure how much evidence there was to support the radio causing bricks.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rsk2mc:
My Location is still messed up, navigation and maps work. But the browser thinks I'm in Russia and fancy widget won't refresh with my location
[Thunderbolt Android Development] travishamockery:
Anyone noticing bluetooth streaming cutouts? trying to stream pandora or google music in my car and i get sporadic drops and then it picks right up. happens quite often actually.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] concept0:
Gotcha!

So with regard to the easiest way to flash MR2, can I do it by taking a nandroid backup of my phone with MR2.5 and RC1.2, flashing the MR2 radio, and then restoring the backup?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] egeorgia:
Its just fancy widget pro. I installed the Lucid theme as well and the Lucid widget theme for launcher pro.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JaydenR:
Damn, Last RC thought I was in Bulgaria and my BW thought I was in Paris.:(
[Thunderbolt Android Development] egeorgia:
I had to go into settings in fancy widget and select update with GPS and it was fixed.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] str1der_D:
RC 1.2 4g cycles on and off and eventually just stops trying and stays at 1x. tried reflashing mr2 radio. mr2.5 behaves the same way.

ran with imoseyon's latest kernel and stock kernel. same behavior. had to revert back to bamfrc4. Will give this another go when i get home with mr1.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sundar2012:
my gps icon (the one that flashes in the status bar when ur using maps/navigation) is missing and it doesnt get a fix.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ncwildcat:
try reading the thread - and then do the sense trick...been posted about 2500 times
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Absolute_Zero:
Just flash the radio. It doesn't damage your rom and nandroids don't restore or mess with radios anyway.

If you don't like it, just do the same w/ mr2.5 to go back.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] concept0:
Consider thyself thanked...

What's the skinny on MR1 vs. MR2 versions of CM7? Does one work better than the other with regard to 4G?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] michaelkahl:
Thunderbolt

MR2 Radio

CM 7 1.2

Everything is running great. I have seen the network signal change from green to white, but others are simply reporting it as a bug. Other than that, I was able to successfully connect to 4g when in range.

This is my first time using Cyanogen since I had my DInc last fall. Great job on this, it's come a long way and I can use as my daily driver.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] chimpsnest:
Running the .0223r radio w/BAMF Stripped right now. I want to try this CM ROM, but I also want to upgrade my radio to MR2 (and possibly 2.5 if I get really brave). :D

I can't find it via thread searching:

Should I just flash the radio, then flash the ROM zip from card, then reboot and let the set-up do its thing - or is this the wrong order of things. I know if I put the radio on the card it's going to get picked up when I boot.

Don't want to brick.

Finally, is this the latest GApps? http://goo-inside.me/gapps/latest/7
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ethomps:
I've been running RC1.2 all day with MR1 and it's working great! Hand-offs are working fine, though 3g->4g still takes a minute or two. Is that an MR1 thing or does it affect everyone?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MechaMorph:
That happens to me on MR2 as well, but personally I think that's just a 4G thing. BAMF Sense 3.0 RC4 was at times taking a minute or so to swap back from 3G to 4G.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbisch:
Install the ROM first, make sure it boots up and then flash the radio.

Just get GApps from ROM Manager. The latest one should be on there. Download it before you flash CM7.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Spikelangelo:
I have no issues connecting to googles servers. Have you tried mr1? I just tried changing kernels, No dice. I'm going to have to try reflashing everything.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] chimpsnest:
Thank you - I don't usually use ROM Manager, I do everything from the boot menu so I'm not sure what you mean by "get it from ROM Manager"? Sorry if that seems stupid.

So, the ROM can boot up w/o the correct radio w/o screwing things up - I just won't have service?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Morkai Almandragon:
Google maps shows me in Nashville, but says Florida...

I have tried using GPS Status but it is just not doing it:(
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sundar2012:
ok, doing it - got a fix on sense - restoring back to cm7. can someone explain why this would work? intuitively it seems if you are overwriting /system /data and /cache, why does the gps thing stick?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] failsaf3:
Same here, Beautiful Widgets says I'm in Elkins, WV when I'm actually in San Diego, CA. GPS locks quickly and accurately, Maps is accurate.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] concept0:
Correct. You just won't have service.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] concept0:
Short answer, the inner workings of android are not intuitive.

Long answer, hell if I know... I asked the same question.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] madAdam6LOVE:
Here's some more Android voodoo: Try leaving your GPS turned on before flashing a new ROM. I did, and it was still working after I upgraded to RC1.2.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] concept0:
That's exactly what I've been doing. Although I'm not entirely clear on whether I need to get a fix before rebooting and flashing, or just have the GPS turned on.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbisch:
ROM Manager is an app available in the Market. It makes downloading & flashing ROMs easier, as well as creating & restoring backups.

Yeah, you can boot up any ROM without the correct radio. You just won't have any service until you flash the right one. :) Just remember to remove the radio's zip file off your SD card once you've flashed it or else everytime you go into HBOOT it's going to ask you to update.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sundar2012:
Here is what i did to get GPS working:

1. Nandroid backup of current cm7 installation of system and data

2. I flashed the rooted mr1 PG05IMG.zip from the bootloader (not recovery - see the rooting thread last step)

3. Booted into stock mr1, got a gps fix

4. Mounted SD and renamed the PG05IMG.zip file.

5. Booted into recovery and backed up the mr1 rom as a nandroid

6. Restored cm7 from nandroid and rebooted WITHOUT ANY WIPE

7. Launched Maps and GPS icon is flashing looking for towers

Now, if only someone could explain why this works...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] GrdLock:
Holy crap! I finally have 4G!!! First build I've ever gotten it on!

I might finally be able to use this as a daily driver!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tflogic:
Running RC 1.2 on MR 2.5 flawlessly. 4g on boot, wifi working, GPS instant lock, etc.

I think the only thing that's left to be fixed is chrome to phone's inability to connect. Anyone have a workaround for the moment?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TsaiKimon:
Strange mine seems to be working just fine. Freshly rooted, MR2.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] GrdLock:
Anyone have any issues with LauncherPro?

My app drawer is completely empty in it.....

EDIT: Nm, reboot fixed it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lrs421:
Launcher pro was working great for me. I recently switched roms but it worked without a hitch.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sundar2012:
if you restored chrome to phone from titanium you have to log out of it and log back in within the app.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommy m:
This release is working great for me. Does anyone know where I can get a mail. APK that has the exchange pin policy disabled that will work with this rom? I know there is one for sense roms.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] strongergravity:
For those whose Beautiful Widgets and Fancy Widgets are putting them in Europe, go to

Settings > location and then unchecked "use wireless networks". Only have "use GPS" checked.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sundar2012:
is dream kernel working ok with the latest RC?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Absolute_Zero:
I've backed up and restored chrome2phone since the day it came out and I've never had to back out and log in again. I even copied my backup from my D1 over to the tbolt and restored and it's still workin like a champ.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] miketoasty:
Location fix! Gps fix!

For anyone who has either Fancy or Beautiful widget showing them in the wrong location, please enable WiFi (You DO NOT need to be connected to WiFi the radio just needs to be enabled) and try refreshing again.

I may very well be wrong but apparently there seems to be some correlation between location and the WiFi radio.

To fix GPS issues (I know this has been stated 1083948 times) including GPS never getting a signal and NO GPS icon in the status bar whatsoever.

Backup your CM7 ROM.

Flash any sense based ROM (Make sure it uses the same radio)

Load up the ROM, download GPS status then get a GOOD lock (4 or 5+ satellites)

Then while STILL holding the signal, hold the power button and click reboot, then recovery.

Restore your CM7 ROM then again download GPS Status, open the program, click Menu, click Tools, Reset then Download aGPS data.

That should fix the two most common problems on this ROM.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] schwab16:
Can anyone let me know what to do to get working flash, only the YouTube app works, all other apps just give me a black screen and audio.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] chimpsnest:
I have ROM manager installed, I just don't use it - I guess I didn't understand the wording - basically it was just saying use ROM Manager to flash the GApps - the way I read it was that it should just be there, which didn't make any sense to me, lol.

OK, so I need to flash GApps, ROM, then radio via whatever avenue I choose?

Thank goodness for backups. Have a work call at 5, will probably play around w/this after. (def not before!) :eek:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] GutterIsATool:
I have got a strange problem that I have not seen reported anywhere else. I'm in Tulsa, OK, but when an app like Foursquare or WeatherBug tries to locate me without WiFi or a solid GPS signal, it almost always thinks I'm in Tullahoma, TN (never been there). Google Maps doesn't do this. It seems to be able to approximate my location correctly using the cell towers. It's just other apps.

I've had this problem with the last couple RCs of CM7. It persisted through a full wipe.

Has anybody else seen this or have any thoughts on it?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] concept0:
You have to flash gapps AFTER flashing the rom, not before.

Just wanted to make sure you were clear on that since you made it sound like you were going to do it in the other order.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lennyjew:
Gps doesn't want to seem to start up for me (gps icon doesn't appear when it's on and in a app that uses it)

Anyone have that issue. Running the mr1 radio version. Thanks for any info and help.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sundar2012:
read my previous posts. i resolved the same issue and break it down how to fix step by step.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] schwab16:
I get lock in seconds using mr2.5, maybe give that radio a try, or do the sense rom trick
[Thunderbolt Android Development] stoudtlr:
If you read this thread you will see it posted LOTS of times. Just a couple of posts up is the answer actually.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Absolute_Zero:
He meant go to "Download Rom" and under the free section you can download Google Apps. It's downloading from the same server you posted the link to so either way works.

Just remember to flash GApps after the rom like mentioned above.

It has been reported many times lately just with regards to Fancy Widgets and Beautiful Widgets but the same problem applies to all.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] qman66:
4g handoffs are not working!!! i wiped and even refreshed apn. NOTHING!!!!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] GutterIsATool:
Thanks guys. I just saw some of the previous posts. I had just searched for "Tullahoma," "Tennessee," and "TN." Seemed oddly specific and constantly going back to it. I'll try the turning off the network locations. I'm using MR1 if that matters. I imagine it's a network thing.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] :
VERY happy with this build! 4G hands off perfectly and instantly between 3G and wifi, great battery life, fast 'feeling' and all apps & widgets work perfectly. I've been toying with Sense based GB roms and 'senseless' roms, but each has major flaws (including an inability to answer calls). This is my daily driver now.

I might try another kernel after a day or two to see what can happen, but hanging on to a backup of the current setup for now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lennyjew:
Tried going back to bamf and that didn't work. Sorry, I should've mentioned that.

Maybe I'll try flashing a new radio like the other guy said.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sundar2012:
did it work in booting up BAMF? if you are on the MR1 radio then u should just flash the MR1 rooted PG05IMG.zip from the bootloader. That is the safest way to go. Then simply turn on gps, GET A LOCK, then restore cm7.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ethomps:
Uninstall Flash, then install the hacked apk with Hulu support. That worked for me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] arkshel:
Firstly outstanding rom though is there a fix for the choppy fps in Netflix? Other than that this rom is

Amazing.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jcortes187:
Do I need to wipe data/cache when upgrading from 1.1RC to 1.2RC?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] phillycreamboy:
How does setting the CPU frequency higher in setcpu affect battery on the included kernel?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] toebee76:
People with location problems, try turning on wifi.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dmzxls:
This. Oddly enough, enabling Wifi definitely has allowed my phone to find its location (Both in CM7 as well as OMFGB)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] chimpsnest:
But, then if you turn off wifi do you lose the GPS? Curious.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sundar2012:
According to cpu spy the phone idles at 245mghz and never goes into "deep sleep". It also doesnt spend much time at all between the min and max speeds (using both the ondemand and interactive governors) . That could be an issue for battery life.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sundar2012:
setcpu is bad for battery life. cm kernel ondemand and interactive governors already take care of everything for u. you can overclock under cyanogen mod settings -> performance settings.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sundar2012:
it uses google's location database and doesnt actually triangulate your position. If you are missing the GPS icon in the status bar then you definitely have to do the sense gps fix.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] chimpsnest:
yes, sorry, ROM, Radio, gApps ..... thank you
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
I WAS using SetCPU and my phone was lagging especially the lockscreen. It was soooo irritating! I finally decided to freeze SetCPU with TiBu and use the CM settings and the phone freakin flies now! No more lockscreen lag!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rafaelvelasquez2:
I'm using Imo's latest aosp kernel with speedtweak. Extreme mode, 184 unlocked, and interactivex, this baby is movin and groovin. Battery is lasting me long.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbu:
Glad to see (not really) that I am not the only one with network location issues. Beautiful Widgets is putting me in NY State, I live in TX lol...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] spy890:
Yeah. It's in cm settings, interface, status bar tweaks

Go to "download rom" when opening rom manager.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] revolt1:
nope go to rom manager /download rom/Google apps/ tap on the top one and install no wipe no back up

Slayher just posted up Test 3. Dling now. Stoked to see what's changed. Thanks slayher!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] raziel36:
This was at 200 LCD density.. may try others, as I prefer 180, but 200 doesn't mess up the graphics on the lock screen like 180 did last I tried.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] xxxdroidxxx:
Got it thank you!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] revolt1:
no problem

glad I could do my part

hit the thank button :-)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nosympathy:
all you did was redownload test 2 lol...atleast that is almost what I did.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hredder:
Yep just test two.. he must be working on it as we type
[Thunderbolt Android Development] xxxdroidxxx:
Yes sir. Done! :-)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dakoop:
maybe his test3 will fix the crappy data issues. I WANT this to work but I can't get any type of reliable data no matter what radio I use.

Close but a ROM with no data kinda defeats the purpose :mad:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] EpicAaron:
I think that test2 is the test3 release, the first release didn't have a test1 filename, and this release only allows me to access 1x not 3G ;(, going back to test1 (second release).

EDIT: By looking at his twitter replies looks like I'm not the only one.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tgwaste:
Better 4G Icon

[Thunderbolt Android Development] gfro9191:
That's confusing. Lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sangreal06:
It has a purpose, you just ignored it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dlsolo:
Could there be a possibility that this build would utilize the newest radio files available? May answer the radio issues being addressed. IMHO.

I guess you don't understand the meaning of "pre-alpha" or "test" :rolleyes:

[Thunderbolt Android Development] boristhebladexx:
im not sure where all the GPS trouble is coming from. beautiful widgets is saying i'm in new britain, connecticut, and i've used several location based check in apps today over several locations (facebook places, google places/google+, geotagged tweets, foursquare, etc)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbu:
For me it's not gps being wonky, it's network location...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] concept0:
I've now tried MR2.5 and MR2 and cannot get consistent 4G. On MR2.5, I didn't get 4G on boot, had to toggle. I flashed MR2 and got stable 4G on boot, but as soon as I connected to and disconnected from a wifi network, I didn't get any data back (no 3G, no nothin'). Toggling got back 3G for a bit, but then I lost it. Got 4G back on reboot, but lost data again when I connected to and disconnected from wifi.

By way of background, I was on RC1.1 using 3G only. I double-wiped data, cache, dalvik, and /system before flashing RC1.2. Rebooted before flashing gapps then restored apps with TB. I've tried connecting to 4G and running fix permissions.

Does this mean that I have to use the MR1 radio? If so, which version (223 or 402)? Any disadvantages to using the MR1 radio?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Heelfan71:
Only way I could fix this was flash back to a sense rom. Get a GPS location and as soon as you get a lock, reboot to recovery and flash this rom. It's a pain but it worked.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Ovrclck:
To fix that, I just turned off "geolocation" and set my zip code
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BurnOne77:
Using rc1.2 mr1 I have found with fancy widget weather as long as I use Google weather my location is spot on and my 3g/4g hand off has been flawless. Been driving around alot today in and out of coverage and GPS is spot on.

Couple times when I get a call my phone would ring and vibrate but there was nothing but homescreen image. No incoming call on screen or anything. Only thing that stops it is a reboot. No record of a call or a missed call. Only the voicemail. This is the only issue I have on mr1.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
I don't think it matters really but I've been rocking the 402w radio for a while with no issues at all.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Ovrclck:
Wifi fix for beautiful widgets worked! Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] FletchF:
So if I haven't installed CM7 yet, does this GPS trick work if I get a lock while still on stock and reboot to recovery and flash CM7?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Veridor:
Same here. Oddly enough, network location works fine in Google Maps, but nothing else.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rsk2mc:
I have no issue with gps or maps, my location problem is with google on the browser still says I'm in Russia, and fancy widget doesn't know where I'm at but weatherbug elite does

[Thunderbolt Android Development] whytecountry:
Wait, really? Does having SetCPU really negatively impact battery life?? I've never heard this, and searching on it I've not really seen much on the subject... Is this only with CM7?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Farva0412:
Would lo e an answer also. And link with sources.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sundar2012:
Search the g2 desire z forums...also do a Google search

Reason is because set CPU redundantly does the same thing the CPU governors do...but runs in the background using battery to monitor conditions. It is most noticeable on interactive and smartass governors.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rsk2mc:
For some reason my miui apk won't work now, it work on 1.1
