[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cubs2008:
This is awesome...thank you!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cubs2008:
Thanks for this. I'm trying to copy out everything people have done to get it working around here and figure I'll give it a shot. I'm plugged in a majority of the time so I shouldn't have to reboot too often if I actually do get it going on this build.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] spy890:
Did this work for you as well?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommyboy2034:
So I just flashed Imoseens battery saver kernel for AOSP and now I don't have 4g.

If I could get the kernel that shipped with cm7 i'd reflash that and see if 4g returns...anyone know how to get it?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cubs2008:
Going to try it now. Waiting for my backup of my Bamf remix rom to finish. Just heard the thunder so should be nearly ready to go. :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cubs2008:
OK after backing up my bamf remix rom and setting my Rev. A setting to ENABLE here's what I've done:

Rom Manager

Loaded CM7

Wiped Data

Wiped Cache

Wiped Davlik

Wiped Battery Stats

Fixed Permissions

Rebooted and allowed ROM to fully load

Rebooted to Recovery

Fixed Permissions

Installed GApps

Rebooted into ROM

Skipped Google Setup

Went to Settings/Wireless & Networks/Mobile Networks

Changed Network Mode to CDMA + LTE/EvDo Auto

Changed to CDMA/EVDO only = 3G kicked in

Changed back to CDMA + LTE/EvDo Auto = 3G seemed to stay

Changed to LTE mode = data went away

Changed back to CDMA + LTE/EvDo Auto

Now I'm going to leave it for about an hour and see if it kicks in.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] emarusamun:
Not true, barnacle works for me on cm7. My itouch connects and gets great range, like a football field a way still works. 3G.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommyboy2034:
I have the exact same behavior, 3g seemed to stay after I turned lte/evdo back on, if I rebooted or turned off the radio/on then it would not come back. I'm @ about the 30 minute mark to see if 4g kicks in for me.... will update in another 45 or so.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] raphytaffy:
Sorry to get off topic, but could we simply push the Mobile Hotspot apk that came on the stock rom? Or is that too hard because it may have some Sense features?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gdanko:
Enjoy Sense :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ddgarcia05:
I finally flashed CM7 on my Tbolt. I'm on the stock radio and live in a non 4g area. My 3g came in instantly after flashing and my GPS got a 1 meter lock in no time. I'm really liking the build. What is this fix permissions I see alot of here? I know how to do it but is it required? Nothing appears to be broken.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jaxidian:
Yes, you get the CM kernel whenever you flash a CM release. If you run a custom kernel, you'll have to reflash it after a CM flash (I recommend rebooting twice before you flash the non-stock kernel or do any other flashing, for that matter).
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jaxidian:
There have been quite a few bugs in the earlier releases, and some still linger where a Fix Permissions will help. These bugs include themes, remembering settings, wifi, and perhaps some others.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cubs2008:
Speaking of which I did try using Imo's 1.41 extreme AOSP beta kernel on my first run through before I had any data. This time I'm going to stick with the included kernel until I can get LTE going.

FWIW I love Imo's kernels on my Bamf remix ROM...by far they have been the best of the best (1.41 extreme has totally kicked tail for me battery life wise.)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jaxidian:
I'm sure that has a crapton of Sense references that we (very happily) don't have w/CM.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jaxidian:
Right now I'm running his 1.92 extreme kernel with CM - get TONS better battery life than out of the stock kernel. No 4G in my area, though, so no clue if kernels are a factor in acquiring 4G - I've mostly ignored the 4G chatter.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jaxidian:
Reflash CM.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cubs2008:
Yeah I'm in the Lehigh Valley where we just went 4G across the entire area and it's been great. I may try the 1.92 if I can get LTE going on CM7 but I've just had really good luck with the 1.41 to date on my bamf rom. It was almost second nature to flash that kernel after loading CM7.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jaxidian:
Honestly, most of the time I limit my 1.92x to ~1.2, so at that point, it's the same thing. Battery life > quadrant scores... most of the time... ;-)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jaysckap:
Why not just use the built in tether?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jaxidian:
I haven't tethered yet. Does it work decently well? Given the various wifi bugs that have been present, I would be kinda surprised, but not necessarily shocked given how generally stable this pre-alpha has been. :-)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Droopie28:
tried to run barnacle, and the phone kicked to the cm7 boot, and now says insert sim... wtf lol

edit: restored, now restoring backup of wireless tether
[Thunderbolt Android Development] emarusamun:
I don't have a thethering app in my app list...is it hidden somewhere?

Update: found it through power widget. Did 3 tests on built in cm7 oneand 3 tests on barnacle. Top 3 on list are barnacle. Barn gives 1mbps more down and same up.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawonder:
I restored my stock backup then Dial ##778# enabled "Rev A' Then went into setting - Wireless & networks - Mobile network - Network Mode and select : CDMA + LTE/EvDo . I Flash Test 4 then Gapps reboot and set up account . I check to make sure the phone is still on : CDMA + LTE/EvDo then left it for about an hour, during the hour i keep checking and i could see the signal coming and going between 3G and 4G . After about an hour and some minutes the signal sticks and i now have 3G and 4G . Note :- it would be good to have access to WiFi for initial account set up then switch off Wifi and wait .
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cubs2008:
Thanks for that ja. I've had mine up for about 90 minutes now but I'm not even getting a 3G signal (or 4G.) Not sure what I'm doing wrong. What radios are you using (the stock ones recommended in the original post or the updated ones they mentioned in the twitter linked post?)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawonder:
Yes i'm using the stock radio , check your PRL when on stock mine was 5011.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cmo220:
I've had 4g running a few times tonight now. It seems to just take a while to kick in. Both times I've been using Imoseyon's 1.92x kernel (doubt kernel matters) clocked at 1.2. Both times I booted with it on cdma/evdo auto, then switched to lte auto. If it stayed on 3g when I switched I kept it there and waited a while, if it immediately cut off data I went back to cdma/evdo auto until it turned green then switched again until 3g stayed on. After that I just waited. Seemed to take between 10-30 minutes both times, but wasn't paying close attention.

Edit: My PRL is 15008. PRL doesn't seem to matter. Switched to rev A enabled. On leaked (soon to be ota) radio.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cubs2008:
OK I'm looking at my stats now:

PRL is 15011

Network said unknown but I just unplugged it (went to battery) and it came up saying Verizon Wireless! Maybe a step in the right direction as I have 3G now.

Signal strength around -80 dBm

Mobile Network Type says LTE

Mobile Network State had said Disconnected but after unplugging from A/C charger it says Connected

Now it just went back to Network: Unknown and Mobile network state: disconnected. A few minutes later 3G just came back.

I plugged back in and 3G seems to be staying. I'll be a little more patient and see if 4G kicks in. At least the 3G signal showed up so it is a plus.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] superskaterxes:
can someone specify exactly which radio gives the 5011 PRL?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cmo220:
i tried both radios and didn't get the prl update, prl doesn't matter tho. I'm on 15008 and have 4g now, it just takes a while
[Thunderbolt Android Development] superskaterxes:
thanks alot

im patiently waiting to see if 4g comes around but we'll see. i have GREAT 4g service at my house and with BAMF i never had a problem connecting to it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawonder:
Yeah it takes some waiting for me but it was worth it , i rebooted and turn off the phone a few times to make sure it sticks and data came back instantly every time .
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cubs2008:
I had a couple flashes of 4G for a few seconds then back to 3G. Then it dropped 3G again and rebooted on its own so I'm thinking something isn't happy there. Upon reboot it came up and immediately grabbed 3G though and that is by far the fastest I've ever had a mobile network connection come up on this build. It's still showing 3G so I'm hopeful I may see a 4G connection in a little while.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] msburr87:
Everybody please believe me don't stress so much about 4g its still spotty, the prl is not the problem. I travel plenty and in phoenix I normally have great 4g but have not since the outage, in SD today I'm back to getting 4g, no change in prl. If you do not get 4g on cm7 try another Rom, if that doesn't work then its verizon it is 90% not your phone/radio/prl.

If your wondering I've been on 15008 this entire time. Don't believe me call Verizon's support.

I just hate to see this thread overwhelmed with 4g questions.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cubs2008:
I'm on 15011 so I'm also a believer that the PRL isn't the problem. I know on other ROM's today I have 4G here and it's really, really strong (as in never dropped all day today on bamf remix...nothing less than full bars the entire time at work when I wasn't running CM7.) Since other people are reporting it working (and I'm seeing flashes of 4G working on my phone as recent as a few minutes ago) I want to make sure I've exhausted every avenue that's worked for others to this point.

I'm not expecting a constant 4G always on connection with this build but I'm at least going to try everything I can to see if I can at least try everything that's worked for others.

I should add that as of right now I have no data at all. No 3G or 4G. So I'm open to suggestions.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] superskaterxes:
when your phone times out and setcpu lowers the mhz, does that change the signal strength of the radio? i always seem to loose 3g when coming back from being asleep.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pman555:
I think I am going to go back to CM7 Test 4 and will give it an hour or more to see if data miraculously shows up as some have said.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] msburr87:
Yeah cubs I was the same with cm7 I never got 4g, or any data after waiting hours under the evdoLTE option but when I changed to cdma/evdo option I had beautiful data and 3g. Frustrating yet very thankful for the quality of this alpha
[Thunderbolt Android Development] smeager:
Well... as they say all good things must come to an end. After riding the 4g wave for a good portion of the day I lost it when leaving work (stupid elevators).

Following the same process I said before doesn't seem to be working. I can get a solid 3g connection, but 4g won't seem to lock in. It will flash in and out but wont stay.

I guess I'll just rock 3g for the time being.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] shovelheadhd:
Video chat

So far everything is great on test 4. GPS works great, mic sounds good. Same wifi bug others have reported. I did find something I haven't seen anyone else post yet. When I use the Qik video chat app the video is sent upside down. So when my wife sees me on her phone my video is shown upside down. I tried to do the fix permissions even though I figured it wouldn't help and it didn't.

Has anyone else run across this and figured out how to fix it?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Aerogriff:
One odd thing. If I'm on cdma/evdo auto then 3g is good. But if I try lte+cdma/evdo auto then I get no data. Any idea what's up with that?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dakoop:
I am seeing some people getting 4g after an hour, what does that much time have to do with anything?

I am not an android expert but that just doesn't sound right. The phone/software should be fully loaded after only a few minutes. What changes after an hour?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cubs2008:
That's pretty much what I was working with today. Since CDMA/EvDo doesn't use the LTE radio it can pretty much lock on 3G and stay there with no problem. It's almost like something's odd with the LTE radio where it just doesn't want to lock on (and it just rambles through 3G/4G/No data when on any setting involving LTE.)

If you leave the LTE Auto for about an hour as some have said it eventually locks on but some have had solid LTE and some have not. I actually had no data until I unplugged it from the charger and then all of a sudden 3G kicked in (and eventually I had a few flashes of 4G for a few seconds.) Then no data again.

I'm just trying to narrow down what's different between people that have known working LTE setups and what we're missing.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] smeager:
I'm not expert either but I think it might have to do with the hand off from 3g/cdma to 4g/lte. The 3g on our phones was eHDRP originally which made switching to 4g and back easier. Now it seems Verizon has disabled eHDRP because 3g defaults to Rev.A.

So now the phone has to attempt a more difficult hand off. On top of all that, while it did work in these builds it was never truely flawless.

Or that's my best guess.l
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawonder:
There's an update for the Thunderbolt from Verizon which fixes GPS and 3G connectivity ,SMS and other fixes not sure if root user should mess with it yet .
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Aerogriff:
I'm pretty sure its the same one that was leaked a weak or so ago. Its just official now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] andrew53517:
It is. It's been confirmed by androidcentral.

Thunderbolt Rooted!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jaysckap:
Quick data fix, flash a different rom
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pman555:
So, I am currently using 3g data on my CM Tbolt. However, I haven't tried turning on wifi yet. I am worried that my data will go away once I turn on wifi.

Also, why are the data and cell reception icons white sometimes and green others?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cubs2008:
I could be wrong but I think that has to do with how strong your signal is on that particular network. I know when the strength was higher my icons were green (4G was green for a few seconds.) When they were weaker they were white and/or blue (I may be color blind but that's what they looked like.)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] m00nshake:
I absolutely love this build with the new Linear theme that was just released... even the gingerbread keyboard theme is sick... I'm getting good battery life from latest battsaver kernel... GPS locks very quickly. .. and audio issues have been corrected.

I'm not sure where the issue with 4g lies as I am not in an area where it is available to test... but I find it quite coincidental that there has been a surge of 4g related issues on this thread just after the recent problems Verizon has had regarding data...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawonder:
Which rom did you flash ? .
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mitchell4500:
His many of you have the settings not sticking issue?

[Thunderbolt Android Development] djkeller3:
I completely agree. My finances have not allowed me to donate... until now. I've gone back through this thread, but I can't find anywhere to donate, or a link to where a donation to Slayher can be received. If this is redundant, I'm sorry, but it's not real clear on HOW or WHERE to donate. If someone would kindly point me in the right direction, I would very much like to thank Slayher financially right now for all of the incredible work he has done to bring us such a fantastic and legendary ROM to the Thunderbolt. :)

And I would like to add that $10 or preferably $20 should not be undoable for any of us here on this thread. Let's support our developers! They work hard for us, and we need to make it worth their time and effort. NO MORE FREELOADING PLEASE! Time to pony up, guys.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cubs2008:
I wish that was the case. If LTE wasn't working for 10+ hours today at full strength without a hiccup on my bamf remix rom I wouldn't be as concerned. Plus if other people weren't reporting that LTE is working for them on CM7 I'd probably just assume it was a dev issue and they'd eventually get it sorted out (which I think they still will make it more stable...but why not give it a shot if people report it working now?)

I haven't had LTE working since Test0. People are reporting LTE is working on this build (even in a tweet not too long ago.) It would be pretty sweet to have LTE working this early in a pre-alpha since I'm in LTE wonderland. :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cmo220:
The donate link is right under Slayher's name in any of his posts. OP is the easiest to find. And yes, people can and should donate.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] juanzho11:
Awesome rom been testing for a while, btw $20 coming ur way via PayPal, thanks for your hard work.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawonder:
So you came back to Cyanogen and good signal , 3G and 4G ? .
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pman555:
So...just as I suspected...

After 3g was workng fine, I turned on wifi and it connected but I couldn't use the internet.

I rebooted into recovery and fixed permissions, and the wifi worked fine.

However, when I turned off wifi, I did not get any data. The 3g icon was there, but there was no connection to data.

Is there something I can do to fix this? Or should I just revert back to my stock backup?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] djkeller3:
Just slapped myself on the forehead... of course it was right there in front of me, but I was looking for it in the OP. Sheesh!

Anyway, just donated $20. Who is next?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] m00nshake:
I had this occur as well. When you've disabled wifi and the icon is still white and will not connect, reboot the phone and it will connect once its up. Worked for me...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ogxjason15:
Green Signal bars = Connected to Google Services

White Signal bars = Not connected but Data works
[Thunderbolt Android Development] m00nshake:
I understand... it's tough since slayher can't test it himself either since he doesn't get 4g where he lives either... but he's got other devs and us as well testing, so hopefully all of the 4g issues will be worked out soon.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cubs2008:
Thanks for the clear up!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cubs2008:
I'll definitely keep flashing the updates as they come and continue to try to do whatever I can to get it working around here. I really appreciate the work slayher and company are doing to try to get us new builds to test. I think if I wasn't such a big CM fan I probably wouldn't put all this time and energy into trying to get it working and just stick with the bamf remix rom.

I don't put any of the problems on the devs if there are reports of it working. I usually assume I'm the one doing something wrong so the more information I can gather from the people that have it working I figure the better.

Thanks m00n for the info.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pman555:
So, I rebooted and now 3g works, but wifi doesn't. Argh.

When I try to have Facebook update on wifi it says, "no route to host"

Now what?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] m00nshake:
This is a known issue and will be worked out in future builds... not much we can do but wait... I did see in Imoseyon's changelog for his lean kernel that he has added wifi tweaks but I'm not sure if that will make it work or not. I'll test it out in a bit...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Derrtydozen:
Alternating from Wifi and 3G(Data) only seems to work for me by rebooting. I've also heard toggling airplane mode on and off should reset it.

Sadly rebooting is the only thing that does the trick for me :(
[Thunderbolt Android Development] m00nshake:
You're welcome... and I too am very happy to have CM7 on my Thunderbolt and am grateful to the work that slayher and crew are doing... if we keep things constructive on this thread, the better we can assist the devs get these issues ironed out. Thank you as well for your info...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] chadstone30:
don't forget toastcfh. his name is a hyperlink in the first sentence of the original post
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scottricketts:
This has been the case for me. When I leave the house and when I get home, I have to reboot. Ah well, riding the nightly train and thankful for it still! Even with the issues I'm having, still happier to be on CM7 than Sense.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] avlfive:
Flashed Imoseyon's latest kernel but WIFI issue remains. Still have to turn on WIFI then reboot to get it working. At least it's like that for me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] avlfive:
Also, still having issues with the notification drop down bar toggles and having some settings to stick.

And yes, I fixed permissions a few times.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] m00nshake:
I just tested this as well and can confirm issue still exists...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] miketoasty:
4g came on instantly when driving thru a 4g zone. Not that it apparently matters but I am on the 15011 prl. Everything now works flawlessly on this rom thanks slayher and all involved!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Imoseyon:
wifi issues are due to default gateway not being set properly, at least in my case. If you're fairly savvy with the command line and if you're having wifi issues, run this command:

busybox route add default gw [ip address of your router]

that should get wifi working again. I'll see if i can fix this in the kernel - not sure if i can or not, and i'm not even sure if this is the same problem you folks are running into. ;)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] m00nshake:
Thanks for clarifying the wifi issue and for looking into fixing the kernel.... I'll try your quick fix and report back... cheers :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] houseboatwayne:
Full wipe and down grade of radio image. Only bug I see is rebooting for wifi. Then tested gingerbread apps.

It's the real deal. Awesome job.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] avlfive:
I'm gonna go back to stock radio too see if that fixes my settings and themes not sticking. I went back to the leaked RUU and started everything fresh. That's where my problems started.

EDIT: Nope that didn't work. Didn't have these problems with the last test.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wfagan59:
I came from bamf and have had no data problems going from 3g to wifi or the other way around. I do not have 4g here. The only bug I've had is my phone totally losing my exchange accounts. I just added them back and I haven't had it happen again.

I'm a tech for vzw and the prl should be different for most people. If ota programming doesn't work on a phone, we manually program it and where I'm at its 008 or just 8 but I've seen 11 or 011 used as well in phones from out of state. I could be wrong about this, ill try and find a definite answer.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nosympathy:
the rom on test 4 is running great, but sad to say the cell signal is beyond terrible.

I cannot connect to 4G at all, and 3G barley connects at all. Nearly a -10dB difference between this rom, and modded stock roms.

If we can fix this issue, daily driver for sure, but to often I hit around -95dB on this rom which is about where my phone drops signal.

this happens with both the leaked radio and the stock radio.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jaxidian:
Cheers for smart VZW folks! :)
