Honestly the whole LTE issue(s) has been discussed in this thread ten gazillion times (and elsewhere on XDA). That's why lately whenever someone posts something like you did those kind of replies are posted within seconds is because what you are posting is beyond well known about. Its also something that you probably could have gotten an answer to by just going back a page or two (or three) since again its been discussed endlessly.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] themobijew:
Thanks. I understand. its just annoying. I did a search, i guess i did put in the write keywords or did too much keywords and didnt see the thread. its also annoying bc it takes 5 seconds longer to just post the link for my like you did. but again, i see how what i did could be annoying. but thank you sir

I hate to ask again, but does anyone have a fix for data randomly dropping? Phone still reports it has data, but it doesn't work. I think I may have narrowed down the cause but I'm not 100% sure. It seems to happen whenever my data type changes (ie wifi to 3g, 3g to 1x, etc).

I've tried re-flashing, wiping, 4g fix, wifi fix, and I've fixed permissions more times than I can count both through Rom Manager and Recovery. I really want to stick with this rom because for the first time since I've owned my thunderbolt the BT audio quality is acceptable and I can't bear to go back to another rom that uses the same crappy bluetooth stack as the stock rom.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] magicriggs:
Not that I know of, just a reboot fixes it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] eleazar123:
I have the same issues and you are exactly right, it's when you change data types that you'll sometimes lose internet.

This is what I do to avoid the frustration of random data drops:

Wifi --> 3G

Once you're off the wifi network, simply reboot your phone (not always 100% necessary), your green 3G icon should return shortly (sometimes takes a minute or two after rebooting, or after leaving wifi).

3G --> Wifi

Once you connect to the wifi network (I only connect to wifi now if I know I will be on the network for an extended period of time), reboot your phone and the signal indicators should turn green again (this is almost always required for me when switching to wifi).

Every once in a while I have to fix permissions to get 3G to turn green again, but it's rare, maaaaybe once every 2-3 days?

Either way, this is a hassle but it is WELL worth it, for me, to have CM7 and all that comes with it.

These methods might not work 100% of the time, but it's close enough for me. :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] deltwalrus:
Derp, my question was asked and answered elsewhere.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kkozma:
I agree, it's more annoying than anything but I was really hoping someone had a fix that I missed in 180 pages of this thread. Coming from an OG Droid, I simply cannot deal with Sense. Absolutely hate it. Then on top of that, the bluetooth issue drives me insane.

Since we don't have 4g here yet, I'm going to try switching the radio to just use CDMA / EvDo and see if that helps. I kinda doubt it, but you never know.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gdanko:
I want to report that switching to CDMA / EvDo tremendously improved battery. After 16 hours I have just under 50%.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dickenam:
After making the aforementioned switch, after 13 hours I'm at 50% off of a bump charge. Super acceptable, buuut haven't used the phone much at all during those 13. Oh well.

I LOVE LIFE AGAIN, THANKS CM7!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gujupmp88:
been on that since i put CM7 on. never even got close to that. i dont get how you guys use ur phone to get battery life like that, but using my phone normally(hour or so worth of calls, 50 or so texts, hour of web browsing, occasional games, downloading apps, etc) i get about 11 hours. 12 if im lucky. This is all on the stock battery.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] superskaterxes:
HAH! i do prob half that use and my battery lasts about 6 hours
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trilandun:
Cell Standby

For those of you having issues with the Cell standby...

This was the work around for other CM7 ROMs that worked.

- Put phone into Airplane mode

- Press power button to turn off screen

- wait 30 Seconds

- Turn phone back on using power button

- Turn off airplane mode

This has to be done after every reboot since the changes don't hold on.

I am not sure if this will work. I have not tested it, but like I said it worked on other CM7 ROMs.

Let me know if this doesn't work and i will delete this.

Good luck!

[Thunderbolt Android Development] bmxchampga:
Sorry if this has already been answered, but I looked through 100+ pages of this thread and didn't find anything.

It's not wanting to let me switch keyboards for some reason. It's checked in the settings, but when I try to switch to it in input method it goes right back to the stock keyboard. Does this with a few of the other settings, as well. Tried fixing permissions in Rom Manager and recovery, uninstalling and reinstalling multiple different keyboards, still no dice. Any ideas?

Other then this, I love it! Fast and data works great! Currently is my daily driver!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] eleazar123:
I had the same problem on the last test version. I was never able to resolve it, but after flashing test 4, i didn't have the issue anymore (i wiped data/cache between flashes). I'd personally try re-flashing.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bmxchampga:
I reflashed twice, actually. The first time I reflashed, data went out. Second time, which is what I'm on now, is working except for that one issue.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] deltwalrus:
I'm really curious as to why everyone's experience is so different. We're applying the same code to the same device, so it must come down to some preferences not being respected (or inspected). I may be missing something, but wouldn't it make sense to have the ROM make no assumptions about the user's previous settings and lay down its own at install-time? To provide a consistent experience? Or does that come later in the development process?

For example, when I tried this out, I had no issues with keyboards or audio or reboots or anything. But I could not get consistent 4G, WiFi, or any GPS at all. YMMV, but why so much variance?

disclaimer:

I have read this thread since about post 200, but have not replied since I didn't want to BS my way to 10 posts on the main forums

I have tried EVERY SINGLE suggestion ever been given for my issues, and there are only two out of them I really want to fix.

1. I don't know if it's a settings issue or something but my keyboard won't autocorrect. I have messed with all of the input settings everywhere with no avail as well as fixing permission both in RM and recovery multiple times. I think the setting for autocorrect got turned off somehow and now won't stick, but it makes texting a mess. that or im an idiot and there never was autocorrect on gingerbread (I've only ever used Sense)

2. The light sensor doesn't want to shut off the screen when I make a call. Tried messing with sensor settings and light level but no luck.

I also have no 4G unless I go to BAMF or stock (I'm in Minneapolis so I've used 4G before), my battery lasts on average 4 hours (little more than avg use) on CDMA/EvDo Auto (but on diff ROMs it works for in upwards of 24 hours). I also can't go between WiFi and 3G. Since all of the fixes people have posted haven't worked for me, I'm just waiting for a new release of CM7 to see if any of it is fixed.

flamers: I'm not complaining just saying that the fixes work for some but not others so if you have these problems and the posted solutions don't work, just wait for a new release.

thanks for the help on the 2 above things!

tl;dr: my light sensor doesn't turn my phone off during calls and keyboard won't autocorrect. no fixes work on my phone for anything. ideas or just wait for new release?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gdanko:
As I understand it, Android versions prior to 2.3.4 have 4G/LTE support hacked into their rild. This is going to cause problems. 2.3.4 has native support for these networks so building against 2.3.4 *should* fix this problem. That said, switching network modes to CDMA/EvDo increased my battery life tremendously.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] deltwalrus:
Turning off 4G on *any* phone is going to give a boost to battery life.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] stoli412:
Interesting, I had not heard this before. I assumed native LTE wouldn't be available until 2.4 or later. Do you have a source for this info?

So if 2.3.4 includes a native RIL, then should it be easier to get it running on the TB compared to 2.3.3?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Richie97:
Pretty sure it's only Native WiMax, not LTE. Could be wrong though. Not sure whether that'd help at all for LTE.

Ive read through quite a few pages here, Im new to the thunderbolt but had a rooted x and GB before getting the tbolt.

Ive always heard everyone in my X days wishing for CM7 so i decided to give it a whirl, I used the radio listed in the op and wiped factory reset and cache before installing, when it loads up it would typically have me sign into google account, but it didnt so i went into accounts under settings and i still dont even have an option to sign in, also my market is missing, can i simply download the market.apk ? any help with these two problems would be much appreciated
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ddarvish:
use rom manager and under rom downloads find the section that says gapps and install that. that should install all the google services like gmail, market, etc

Just curious, how stable is this right now? I've been trying to keep up, but missed a few days and the thread is 180 pages now :eek: Loved CM7 on my Inc, itching to try it out on my TB. Anyone think this is daily driver stable or does it still need a lot of work?

Also, is there a gapps.zip somewhere in here, I don't use ROM Manager at all.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommyboy2034:
I'm running cdma/evdo, as I've long given up on 4g, not only on this rom but on others since it's battery drain made me a slave to my charger.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
It's pretty stable. If you only use 3G and can live without or don't have 4G then go for it. I think this should be at least beta quality. The main problem is LTE right now.

You can download the Gapps from here:

EDIT: Direct link to 2.3.4 Gapps

http://db.tt/mAyoGIC

NOTE: Flash the rom, let it boot once, then go back in recovery and flash the Gapps. If you don't do this then you'll have to reboot for any settings to stick.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jgrimberg1979:
Where is the love? Its been a while since an update. Does anyone know what the RIL release means? Does that mean we should theoretically be getting an update soon?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
The number one rule of CyanogenMod: Don't ask for ETAs ;)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] deltwalrus:
I'm hoping... really hoping... that the delay and lack of updates is due to a merge of 2.3.4 into this CM7 build. Although now I'm hearing that the RIL update may be on Wimax and not helpful to our cause. Anyone with first-hand knowledge know that for certain?

Daily driver? Depends who you ask. Some folks get steady 3G (I didn't), some get average or stable 4G (I got neither), some got stable WiFi (I did, sorta) and a few even got GPS (not for me). So it seems to vary wildly. Maybe it will be great for you! Maybe it won't. Soon, I hope it will be for most of us.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommyboy2034:
If you are having poor battery life here's my recommendation:

1.) turn off 4g and and just run cdma/evdo

2.) Use stock radio, not the leaked radio (big battery drain when using this one for me)

3.) Use Imoseyon's battery save kernel

I was burnign through battery recently until i swapped out the radio to the original stock radio.... i get pretty good battery life now.. maybe 5% per/hour now, when it was 15%/hour before.

My girlfriend has told me that twice already I've missed a call, but the phone didnt ring and never gave me any missed call notification.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] m00nshake:
Yes I've had this happen as well where the phone didn't ring, I didn't get a missed call, but then I'd get a voicemail alert. It happened sporadically several times on build 4 of prealpha. By chance, what kernel are you using?

Wow... this seems to have fixed it for me as well. Thank you! This is something that was really bugging me. They just never came on until now!:)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] deltwalrus:
Call VZW and tell them about this. It has something to do with how many times your phone rings before going to voicemail. Basically, your phone line *is* "ringing", just the signal hasn't gotten from a tower to your phone in time to tell your handset that a call is inbound. So your voicemail kicks in and that's that. A quick call to a very knowledgeable and polite VZW tech took care of that for me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] djkeller3:
Now that you mention it, I recall this happening once or twice over the last couple of weeks. I don't know if it's happened before flashing these test builds or not - I just don't remember it happening.

However, what is happening ALL THE TIME that I keep forgetting to ask about is that when I receive a call, my Bolt will ring just ONCE and then it vibrates (instead of ringing) until I either answer the call or until it goes to voice mail. I've looked for a setting to change, but can't find anywhere to change it. This happens with all incoming calls.

Is this happening to anyone else?:confused:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] smashingtool:
