For those with the issue with the Torch app: are you using Death Ray? If so, this is a known issue that will probably never be fixed. That said, you shouldn't use Death Ray mode because it is incredibly dangerous for your phone.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BryanP:
Heck, I hope it works for everyone.

But I'm concerned some users may flash this when they shouldnt so I threw the post. I get users at work who think alpha must be the very best. Gotta have it now. With all the XDA notoriety I bet a few of them stumbled over here.

Only problem I have... Not even a problem but the icons on top change from green to white over and over... Oh and not sure how to get on 4g. Help? Stock froyo radio with latest dream kernel.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] chriskader:
GPS issues are not existing. I opened GPS status and had a lock on 10 satellites in about 3 seconds. I then used Google maps and had a lock even faster.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mattgyver83:
Anyone else experience 'squelching' in the headset? Had it happen yesterday for the first time ever during a call and when dialing numbers there was a thumping sound that could be heard behind the rings.

May/May-not be a ROM issue. Latest CM7 Test 6/1, no mods, Radio 1.16.00.0223r
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PerCompLLC:
Thanks for the info... But I changed back from Death Ray to Normal mode and the problem still occurs. Basically when I toggle torch, the screen goes blank (but the capacitive buttons stay lit). I am able to turn the torch off because I know were the toggle is, but I have to do a battery pull to get my screen back. The torch was working perfectly for me on RC0.1 and RC0.2.

Tomorrow I'm going to do a wipe and reload from scratch to see if it is something I've done. More than likely it is user error on my part... :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jakejonez:
Are you running the stock kernel? If so, do a backup, then install another kernel. I'm pretty sure Slayher's kernel in RC0.3 broke Torch access; it FC'd when I tried to use it on the stock kernel.

Question: Does CM7 has support for hardware accelerated divx/xvid files? Or is it software decoding only?

same problem here
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bilbobrian:
For those of you missing calls, I just read in another forum about someone who solved the issue by deleting the phone dialer app in profiles/manage applications. I deleted mine and have received a couple calls fine, but its still too early to tell. Worth a try though.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jcporter80:
- Use Root Explorer and go to system/media/audio/ui

- look for Video_Record.ogg

- Push Mount R/W at the top Right of the screen (it will switch to Mount R/O)

- Press and hold on Video_Record.ogg

- Rename to Video_Record.ogg.bak

- Push Mount R/O at the top Right of the screen (it will switch to Mount R/W)

- Exit Root Explorer

- DONE!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ncwildcat:
If that app is deleted, what do you use as a dialer??
[Thunderbolt Android Development] CBMC:
I don't think you are deleting the dialer, just deleting it from profile.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] idkwhothatis123:
Seems like a dumb question but I'm currently running the GB radio right now, to go back to cm I have to flash back to the froyo radio right? Can't use the gb radio?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bilbobrian:
Just try deleting it from profiles. I've been receiving calls all morning since doing so.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] keith.mcintyre26:
Correct.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] spy890:
Nope.. Flash the stock radio
[Thunderbolt Android Development] avlfive:
Haven't had any missed calls that I know of but I just deleted everything I could under profiles since I don't use it anyways.

List of major issues

1.) Battery drain on 4g is really high (20%/hour for me)

2.) GPS lock is inconsistent (often takes over a minute to lock)

3.) Google/weather/other apps have issue getting location unless you recently got a gps location

4.) 3g/4g handoff still somewhat buggy (less than originally)

5.) I heard in call volume is an issue (seems fine to me)

outside of these it runs pretty smooth, been using cm7 as my daily driver for several weeks.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] intangibleDroid:
@inline6power

Go here

then click the last download at the bottom named "update-cm-7.1.0-RC0.3-Thunderbolt-KANG-signed.zip"
[Thunderbolt Android Development] miketoasty:
1.) Check what apps you have running. Battery drain is better than sense for me.

2.) GPS locks for me in under 5 seconds. A lot of people agree its much faster than sense.

3.) I have no problem with Fancy Widget finding my location.

4.) Agree although it is MUCH better than before.

5.) More quiet than sense but still not a problem for most.

Issues

I'm running CM7 w/ dream kernel and my GPS isn't locking on at all. Also, my wifi keeps displaying "disabled" and refuses to connect. Does anyone who has had similar problems know any fixes?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] miketoasty:
Check your response in your post in General.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] CBMC:
Try downloading another kernel. I would recommend the stock one. I don't know if you can download the stock kernel seperate, so you might just download the newest cm7 and flash that. That should give you the stock slayer kernel.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Bimmer323:
I've been running dream kernel for several days and have no problems with GPS or wifi.

Reboot

Try another kernel (stock as CBMC stated) and go from there.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gordo80:
When installing the update rom the market app does not show up. Is market suppose to be missing?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PerCompLLC:
You will need to install gapps separately. It can be found here: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip

Download and install via CM just like you installed CM7. This installs the normally bundled apps like gmail and the market.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gordo80:
Thank you...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] otto888:
Does anyone know how to KEEP 4G? I get 4G after about 10 minutes after boot...have it for a minute,then I lose data,have to switch to CDMA/EvDo then go back to LTE after I got green data with 3G.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Farva0412:
I think thats how you have to do it. if i have to reboot I change my settings to CDMA/EvDo so when i boot back 3G is there, and to get 4G all i have to do is switch to CDMA /EvDo+LTE wait 2-5min and bam 4G till i reboot.

that what everyone is doin right?

beside having to do that with my Data everything that I use runs great. GPS locks in seconds, Wifi works. tether works. haven't had missed call problem yet (crossing fingers) battery life is so so so so much better than sense.

This has been a DD for me for about 2 weeks.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] otto888:
Well if thats normal....I guess I'll try to write an app to switch modes for me so I can get 4G where there is some(In Montgomery for some car show...)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] inline6power:
thanks. for some reason it would not let me go to that page. dl now. thanks agian.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] masInvasion:
For me

1. Battery drain on 4g is bad but not worse then sense

2. GPS locks instantly, even faster than sense rom

3. I did have problems with latitude saying I was in Virginia and Arkansas even though I was in Delaware. It would even show me in Delaware on my latitude app but it would continue to tell me I was in another state under my name

4. 4g 3g handoff was bad initially when I installed but it had ironed itself out

5. In call volume seemed much better vs RC0.1&RC0.2 but today it seemed quieter

Another issue I've been experiencing is random reboots. Once in awhile it will even just shut off. I'm using the stock kernel btw
[Thunderbolt Android Development] avlfive:
I don't have to reboot at all to get 4G. Sometimes it works on the first switch over, sometimes I have to toggle once or twice but never need to reboot.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommyboy2034:
1.) I've got almost 0 apps polling in the background, I manually update my apps to reduce battery drain. I believe that if you live on the edge of 4g/3g you experience higher battery drain (which is my case).

2.) The first time I acquire gps it takes over a minute, all subsequent requests are somewhat instant

3.) News and weather can't find my location unless I've obtained that location with gps first. google searching and then clicking on "Places" which uses your location, doesn't pickup my location, several others have experienced this issue as well.

The key to the location problem is make sure you haven't obtained your location with gps through navigation/maps before you test another app. For instance, if I navigated to another city, and opened up news and weather, it would say i'm in that city. If i drive home without gps and go back to my home city, news and weather still shows me in the other city, same for google search.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pardonmyfreedom:
What about switching from WiFi to 4G? Every time I'm in 4G mode, go on WiFi then drop back off, mobile network will be completely disconnected. I have to switch back down to CDMA / EvDO Auto to get mobile data back. Anyone had this issue?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] infamousxsniper:
It doesn't give me the option to go to 4g... These are the options it gives me:

WCDMA perferred

GSM only

WCDMA only

GSM auto (prl)

CDMA auto (prl)

CDMA only

EvDo only

GSM/CDMA auto (prl)

Unknown.

Is this how it is? Or is there something I need to do to get the option for Lte. This is my first time on Cyanogenmod on the TBolt.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pmdied:
Perhaps this has been posted somewhere before but I've noticed that the camera takes very fuzzy pictures when objects are held close up, for example a business card taken with Bamf looks better than with cm7. I've tried different kernels but no success. Is this a know issue? Thanks.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mrchambo:
Don't mean to offend, but have you tried scrolling the list?

A dozen times. I usually don't ask but this issue was really puzzling me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mrchambo:
That's weird. What radio?

jc
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pmdied:
W_1
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tanium:
Same here, also if I turn on airplane mode or reboot.

No connection and.must go setting and toggle back and forth.

Maybe the trick is to not have it on the auto option.

I live in an area that is only 4g , never says anything but 4g for a signal.

Maybe that's the problem.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] idkwhothatis123:

[Thunderbolt Android Development] pmdied:
FWIW- I replaced the stock camera with the MIUI. Much better.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] avlfive:
Linky? Please? I've seen a couple different ones posted and I couldn't get them to work. Wouldn't install.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] miketoasty:
Is this in settings, wireless networks, mobile networks, then network mode or the Lte app. Because the lte app will not work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kpa2727:
Since torch is brought up alot i have a few questions. How is death ray mode working for you? when i enable it i get no change, my top light runs normal brightness my bottom LED is very dim, if i try the normal HTC app flashlight runs normal so it's not a bad light. My guess the Torch app is still not functioning as it should.

oh i dont have to reboot for 4G i just set it to CDMA/EdVo before i reboot (to like flash a kernel or what ever) so it cuts a step down and all i have to do is set to CDMA/ EdVo+4G lte to get it.

My phone just went dead after 5 hours of non usage on 4g...I'm using imo's learn kernel + battsaver mode and latest stock radio w1. Lean kernel has always been good to me coming from bamf roms. Trying out the dream kernel + battsaver now. What kernel has the best battery life for you guys? Slayhers, Imos lean, dream, or kang bang???
[Thunderbolt Android Development] miketoasty:
15 hours of usage with 53% battery left. Yes I have an extended battery but still I find that pretty awesome. 4G the whole time.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jaydizzle333:

[Thunderbolt Android Development] miketoasty:
Dream kernel.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] idkwhothatis123:

I wish I could find a kernel or kernel setting that will allow me to stream movies and music without shutting down after the screen times out. I will lose my google music when streaming in my car after about ten minutes with most roms. When using dlna imediaShare, the streaming will stop to my tv about ten minutes after the screen times out as well. I had this problem with a few kernels I tried on das Bamf, but the later adrynalyne kernels fixed this. I always assumed it was just the kernel.

any ideas?

Issues Remaining in the 6/1/2011 build

Well, I just wanted to give my 2 cents about the state of the 6-1-2011 build.

Nearly everything works for me pretty flawlessly. I'm really excited about the state of things at the moment, and believe we could be just a few builds away!

I'm going to list some issues here -- please "thanks" this post if you have any of them, so we can get them fixed up. Here are the issues that I deem still remaining though:

Low Call Volume

Test 4 introduced a low call volume in the ear piece speaker that has not been improved in the 6/1/2011 build. Even with my call volume at its max settings, I can hardly hear people that were perfectly clear on the previous build. I have seen many comments on the forums about that as well. Since this wasn't present in the build before the previous one though, I'd consider this regression.

4G Handoff

The 4G handoff is still non-existent. If I have 3G signal with my Mobile Network mode on "CDMA / EvDo Auto" and switch it to "LTE / CDMA / EvDo Auto," I pick up 4G signal right away. But if for some reason I enter into a part of a building or drive through an area that loses 4G signal, the device reverts to having no data connection at all, rather than being okay to go 1x --> 3G --> 4G all over again. The only thing that seems to work is switching the network mode back to "CDMA / EvDo Auto" and then back to LTE after a solid 3G connection has been acquired.

Battery Usage on 4G is Really High

Though 4G does work and seems to take less coaxing from the user, the battery is nearly gone after just a few hours of 4G usage. I saw someone earlier said 20%/hour. That's about right for me also. I have been keeping it on 3G as a result.

Random Gray Signal Bars

I know this is a known issue on 4G, but on 3G and even WiFi, it seems that my signal bars will randomly go all gray despite having working data connectivity.

Fixed for me:

- Video Camera audio seems to be fixed in this build

- Settings save perfectly, and stick

- Wifi needs no fix to work correctly with the new included kernel

- MMS seems to work as expected

Again, please "thanks" this post if you have any of these issues.... if I notice a lot of thanks, I'll try to get in touch with the devs. I'm sure it will also help them to see other people may be having these issues. Otherwise, I'll assume its only me. :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] miketoasty:
The call volume is low but not a major issue.

The handoff isn't really adavncing since the only Dev on this project doesn't have 4g.

Finally I am now going on 20 hours with an extended battery with 4g only. I would say that is not too bad with 23% battery life left.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] spy890:
Ok, I've seen people claiming good battery life with both drods kernel and dreamkernel but I'm averaging around 8 hours on both. If I just let the phone sit I'm losing around 10%-15% per hour and this is on 3g. I'm not dissing the rom in any way at all, I know it's a WIP, but how are you guys getting such high battery life?

Just as a comparison I get 20+ hours on bamf1.7
[Thunderbolt Android Development] infamousxsniper:
Lte App.

Thanks for showing me this.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] iastonish:
Are you using kang bang 0.5 kernal? I'm using the extended battery, but am on wifi a lot of the day, so I would imagine that makes battery life a lot better.

I'm going to leave my phone on 3g for an hour and let you know how much it drains.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gospeed.racer:
Holy cow...I am doing good to get 8 on bamf. I put the phone on the car charger while I am using the GPS throughout the day, and it is off charge all the rest of the time. I can tell very little difference in battery life between the two in my usage...in fact right now I am actually up from the usual.

The only single issue I have had is for a while I got no ringtones for callers- just vibrate and screen would light up. Apart from that, GPS 100%, call volume good, all around A++ for a pre-alpha! Great work!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommyboy2034:
I have the exact same burn down as you... about 20%/hour.

I don't think any kernel out there will fix it for us, i think the radio/rom will have to get more intelligent about activity in fuzzy areas... i'm on the border of 4g/3g and that is where it really burns down for me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommyboy2034:
That's excessively bad, if you are on cdma auto (prl) you should get 16+ hours.

I lose about 5-6%/hour on 3g. 20%/hour on 4g. This is moderate use, checking twitter/facebook, web browsing.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] iastonish:
Follow up: Battery has only drained 4% in an hour and fifteen minutes on 3g.

Seems pretty normal.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mmtoman:
Can't search now but...

I miss calls with the phone IN MY HANDS!!

I remember some people with the issue but couldn't find it again.

Anyone have any insight?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] iastonish:
Someone has a suggested fix for this a few pages back. I think they said to remove your number from the Google voice app then add it again.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] qman66:
20 hrs on 4g only? r u kidding me? how is that even possible. i can get that with wifi barely. on 4g i get about 7 hrs. about 4 hrs on stock battery. whats ur secret? dont tell me about a kernel because i have tried many and none have made a significant difference.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PerCompLLC:
I had problems with torch as well. Switched to the kang bang 0.5 kernel and the torch works flawlessly now. Also, you may need to adjust your torch settings at the following location: Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Interface > Notification power widget > Widget buttons > Flash mode
[Thunderbolt Android Development] miketoasty:
I use an extended battery. Well worth the price. I am also in a strong 4g area. I have 2 emails pushing mail. Set my minimum clock to 324. That's basically it. I will look into my setup to see if I can find anything interesting.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lx1907:
Bluetooth

When pairing with my car I had to always decline the phonebook sync with car as this caused my phone/car bluetooth connection to drop and get into a drop/connect loop. This has been the case with stock froyo, bamf froyo, bamf GB for me. I was surprised to find out that I was able to sync my contacts to car with CM7 today.

I've been fairly happy with the 0.3 version and don't think I'll play around with new ROMs any longer. 4g/3g/wifi works, but wifi seems to drop when going on standby in couple of minutes. No show stopper, I am loving it.

Awesome job!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] itzdarc:
Dream Kernel. I've noticed that some of you guys are running Dream Kernel. Where do we pick that up? Several attempts to Google it have yielded nothing useful, either by searching on this site or the Internets at large. More than likely, though, I am sucking at Google today. ;)

Market problem

Didn't do this at first, but now none of the apps I download goes through. I keep getting "Download was unsuccessful, please try again." error from the Market. I can still install apps from the Amazon AppStore as well as using Titanium to restore apps, but can't download anything from the Android Market.

I just tested using the web Android Market, and that works for install apps. That'll be my temporary workaround for now.

i was having the same problem you were. i updated from RC1 and i guess the rom didnt sit well. after a clean install of RC3 it has been responding alot better. wiped data, cache, dalvik, battery stats. getting about 14 hours of battery now. using 4g as needed but mainly keeping it on 3g.

Anyone else streaming audio to their deck via a2dp?

I have an issue with Slacker FC'ing, mostly through the car home app while synced via bluetooth, but the error seems to happen even if i dont use my dock, just not as much, black screen for a while, skipping glitches, as well as pause sometimes.

I actually installed all my apps manually instead of doing a titanium backup this last go around to try to alleviate the problem i had on previous test runs.

HELP

After installing CM7 I am left wondering what we will gain once we have the RIL, because this is already a very stable incarnation of CM7.

But on to my problem, went to bed everything was great, woke up and have had 0 data all day. I have not changed anything and another odd occurence was the Quick Settings from the notification bar were just simply gone. A reboot brought those back but no data...? 4G and 3G were working great from the initial install...
