Mine was 43% by days end. No 4G in my area, but battery still lasted over 12 hours
[Thunderbolt Android Development] djkeller3:
LauncherPro has ALWAYS force-closed on me with CM7 with HTC devices. I don't know why. Doesn't matter how well/thoroughly I wipe, reformat system, whatever... LP always FCs. But only upon boot-up, never any other time.

ADW, on the other hand, has always worked well for me with HTC devices. The latest version of ADW EX has infinite looping, and it works better than LP. It's also faster than LP, and I've always been a LP kind of guy since the very beginning. Right now, I think ADW EX is edging Fede out, sorry to say.

Wifi hotspot/tether

Hey guys,

Sorry if this has been answered but the search functionality on the site isn't working for me today. I can't seem to get the built in wifi hotspot OR the android wifi tether app to work. I have 4G and am running MR2.5 with stock kernel. I did a full wipe (including /system) before installing CM7. Is there any way to get the wireless hotspot to work?

thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] andrew53517:
Okay, gotcha. Ill see how my battery lasts today. Mine wasn't that great yesterday. Thanks.

HTC Thunderbolt & ASUS Transformer Rooted!

What's up with Cell Standby and Phone Idle being the primary battery drainers?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sundar2012:
i had this weird issue last night where i was charged up to 100% went to bed and phone was dead in the AM. apparently it died about 5 hours in. I looked at the battery info and saw that nothing was running, but the phone kept going "awake" intermittently. Looking at spare parts for the detailed abttery info i didn;'t see anything that was holding wake locks...

Not sure what the issue was. Doesn't seem to be happening anymore.

Maybe some sort of race condition?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rommer2:
Both of the wireless tether modes you ask about worked fine for me out of the box. I did change the SSID and turn on security and working fine. FWIW I'm using the 2.0.7 version of wireless tether. The 3.+ still has issues for me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
I let my phone completely die last night to see if it helps for today. I was at about 37% and booted into bootloader and left it on the HBOOT screen until it died 100%. I let it charge while turned off all last night so I know it has 100% charge and it should be cycled now. Hopefully this helps with battery as well.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] contractcooker:
Hmmmmm.... well 2.0.7 seems to be working intermittently but sometimes I get the wifi with an exclamation point (Mac OS X) indicating no connection to the internet. I will poke around a bit more to see how performance compares. Right now it's great (9 down 8 up) Oh how I love LTE speeds :) and I'm a grandfather WOOOOOOOO
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dvgb173:
Albany has 4G! And it works with CM7!

Nice work Slayher and company!

Finally happy I bought the Tbolt!

Donations on the way!

Btw: mr1(223r), stock kernel, Max CPU 1024, Launcher Pro Plus.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] skinien:
I'm pretty sure it's just a "reporting" issue; the stats aren't accurate.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rommer2:
I had the reporting issue with RC 1.1

Not seeing it with RC 1.2 Standby and Idle are much lower percentage-wise.

I've got to say this latest release candidate rocks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
When I used CM7 on the Inspire it was the same way. I really don't care what uses my battery life as long as I see it's all normal and not some rogue app I downloaded I'm fine if it's the display or cell standby or android system. If the battery uptime is the same I don't care haha.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] necosino:
Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, come oooon Watertown, lol.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] GrdLock:
I'm really diggin it. It's the first release I got 4G on. I'm just worried about the battery life. My battery life yesterday after installing it was horrible. I've been unplugged almost 3 hours today and I'm on 89%, so maybe it'll be ok. *crosses fingers*
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Bimmer323:
Exact same thing happened to me last night.

Did you have data turned on or off, also, were you using 4G or just 3G.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] contractcooker:
Ok so I have to go back to BAMF wireless tether keeps dropping :( BUT every version I have tried of CM7 keeps getting closer and closer to my daily driver. I can't wait until RIL is figured out and working properly :) thank you so much for your hard work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] psufan5:

[Thunderbolt Android Development] sundar2012:
I always have it on LTE/CDMA/EvDo Auto and i was getting 4g service before bed. Right before I had downloaded ADW Ex because i was thinking about swapping out Launcher Pro (was getting FC on LP at startup).

Tasker, ESET Security and LBE Security are always running in background - though they havent caused issues on my previous handsets.

This AM I charged up to 17% and streamed from Amazon cloud until i got to work and was still at 16%. I have no idea what could have caused this.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sundar2012:
its worth mentioning im using lean kernel extreme undervolted.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] concept0:
Sorry for repeating myself, but my question got buried pages back without reply.

Does anyone know if the Square reader works with the latest release of CM7? Or does anyone have a Square reader that they could use to test it for me?

I'd really appreciate an answer one way or the other!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] irvine32:
Guys, long story short had a Thunderbolt that took a swim last week while running CM7 1.1 and that thing was running smooth. I had to pick up a new one this week rooted it and now running 2.2 with Slayher's kernel and my Netflix is very choppy and Crackle won't show videos. Can anyone confirm this with theirs as well?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] spg900ny:
There's a fix for the choppy Netflix. Do a search for chmod 000 and macromedia. Basically, you have to chmod a file installed by flash and you should be good.

Actually, it's on page 724 of this thread. Cheers.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] irvine32:
Thanks bud I will try this as soon as I can I just decided to reflash the ROM again and we will go from there.

Netflix on CM7 1.2

I installed the minimal patch, I can login, and start video, hear some audio and no video and then goes back to home screen

Any ideas?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] madzozs:
Are you picking it up in Coeymans, or do you work in Albany? I live in Cohoes and work next to the airport and have been unable to get a 4g signal. I know it worked at Crossgates and other parts of Albany over the past few weeks. Just waiting for the official switch to be hit for 100% coverage.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] xCHPx:
I think my phone is having proximity sensor issues on this ROM. My face keeps pressing buttons.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bill102938:
Not sure if anyone else has brought this up as I've only been following this thread since yesterday:

I took the CM7 plunge (I used it exclusively on my DINC) and it's a great ROM... Very stable and smooth

However... I've tried both radios MR2 and MR2.5 and get poor signal strength (2bars where I get 4 with radio MR1) and VERY slow 4G speeds...

On the previous radio I would get 20-25Mbs consistently. Since installing CM7 I get .64Mbs to 5Mbs... the norm seams to be roughly 3Mbs. :confused:

Any solution to this issue other than going back to MR1 radio (which I'd rather not do since I've had no reboots or power off issues since flashing)

Oh... I'm using CM7 1.2 (the latest version posted here).
[Thunderbolt Android Development] chrisjm00:
Use compressed air and blow out the area between the glass and the phone. It sounds crazy but apparently dust builds up in there and renders the sensor useless. Mine refused to shut off, so I just blew it out and immediately worked like it was new.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] psufan5:
Where can we even get the netflix APK?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:

[Thunderbolt Android Development] psufan5:
Thank you so much!! was looking all morning
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Acrono:
This may be a stupid question, but what does it mean by "Download the normal Gapps for HDPI devices"? I'm assuming you download the latest GApps and flash them after flashing CM?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] joshnichols189:
Yes..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
FYI you can get GAPPS in ROM Manager as well. Much easier than going online or through forums to find the .zip.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cg006:
As someone posted previously, I am also having the issue with the audio when I plug it to my car dock. Ive checked all possible settings and nothing yet. I normaly use Pandora radio. As soon as i dock it, the audio drops to about 60% . I also had 1 random reboot.. other than that...the rom is pretty solid. I'm using the mr1 radio with the kernel packed in this rom. My GPS has been working very good too! I had to enable wifi the first time so it would lock in. Has been awesome since. I can leave my wifi off.

Can't wait until all bugs are fixed and this puppy goes Gold :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] spg900ny:
Holy crap... When did FLAC support start? Music just picked up all my FLAC files that I had stored in my SD card (for playing from my computer)!!

CM7 ROCKS!!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] THATTON:
I believe Cyanogenmod has had FLAC support for a year or so. I remember being able to play them on my Nexus One when I first flashed CM6. I could be wrong though.

4G speeds

Signal bars are not reporting properly nor is the Speedtest app. Try the Speakeasy website for more accurate data speeds reporting.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] major_works:
I'm with you. I stopped screwing around with other kernels with this build. I really don't see the need for it, personally, as it runs real well with the stock kernel.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] minazaki:
I am also having speed issues. Here is the information I've gathered so far:

- Froyo Sense based ROMs (stock and BAMF): 20-25 Mbps

- GB Sense based ROM (BAMF): 15-20 Mbps

- CM7 MR2: 1-5 Mbps

- CM7 MR2.5: 5-12 Mbps

- CM7 MR1: Not tried.

All above ranges are approximate and include tests on both the device and a wirelessly tethered PC. Would love to see other people's experience. Please share.

Hope there's something that can be done to improve 4G speeds, especially now that handoffs are buttery smooth. In any case, not leaving CM7, even with a hit to network speed.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ucpro:
I listen to my music over my Bluetooth headset (blueant t1) and I can't go more than a few yards away from it without it cutting in and out. Anybody else having problems??
[Thunderbolt Android Development] miketoasty:
Speedtest apparently does not work with CM7. Using a much more reliable site I am able to get 25+ down and 3.5+ up speeds on CM7. Faster than what I was getting with sense.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] brucipher:
So, I could use some advice.

I am still running RC 0.6. It has been rock solid for me on the stock Froyo radio. I am not in a 4G area, but I am itching to flash RC1.2. The thing is, with it being recommended to do a full wipe for 1.2, I hate having to re-link my facebook contacts (time consuming).

My question...do you think with 4G being fixed we may be synced to the main line and get nightlies soon? If that happens, do you think we will need to do a full wipe again? Is 1.2 worth flashing if I am not even in a 4G area?

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BurnOne77:
which site? just curious I know speedtest isnt very honest but i still saw 20+ down and 5+ up on mr1 rc1.2. Like to try different source, thanks

Also I agree on the kernel thoughts, just going to use slayhers kernel as I have been since I flashed 1.2, everything seems fast and smooth.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] skinien:
Does anyone know how I could go about playing an mp4 that was playing perfectly fine on a sense ROM? Attempting to play it now yields a "Cannot play video" warning.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dvgb173:
I'm getting it in Albany. I work at the Harriman campus. Grew up in Cohoes. Wife works in BA near airport. Small world.

I don't get 4G in Coeymans.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] bill102938:
OK... i'm feeling a bit better about this now... I'm getting 20+Mbs on the speakeasy site as well as a few other internet network speed test sites. A few still report ~6Mbs but that could be due to a multitude of things...

I will try a large file download from microsoft.. that should be a good test ;)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Bel_P:
I can confirm the square reader reads cards on the tbolt. Tried it two days ago on RC1.1
[Thunderbolt Android Development] playboy00786:
Does anybody else have problems with the new Skype and cm7...I always lose the ability to use the microphone and sometimes the ffc until I wipe and reflash...no amount of resets or reinstalls will fix it...could it be an app I'm installing or just a known problem?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bill102938:
OK... I downloaded a 831MB file from Microsoft.com in 15 minutes (don't have the seconds). I've calculated the download rate to be 7.387Mbps

Immediately following the download I:

Ran a speed test using the speedtest.net app and it reported 6.46Mbps

Ran a speed test at the Speakeasy site and it reported 19.85Mbps.

This data isn't helpful alone since I did not run this with the MR1 radio and non-gingerbread ROM but maybe someone has some time to test this :rolleyes:

If you're going to start asking multiple people to provide speedtest reports, you might want to add this to the General section and link it instead of flooding the dev thread.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] lu270bro:
just upgraded from .06 to 1.2. I wiped /data, /cache, /dalvik and formatted /system, /cache/ and /data. for some reason I cannot connect to my home wifi network. Tried flashing a different kernal and letting it settle before trying it again and no luck still. Anybody else experiencing this? any fixes or solutions yet? i believe i still have the "fixwifi.zip" that was floating around from a month or so ago and am ready to try that, but would like to know if i am just missing something. thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bill102938:
Good call... Link to New Thread
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
Try reflashing the ROM with a simple /cache and /dalvik-cache wipe. Leave the stock kernel intact and see if WiFi works.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Absolute_Zero:
Wifi works fine on stock kernel. I use it every day without problem.

It's been mentioned several times but people still don't try this.

Remove EVERY remembered network from your wifi AP list so that it is blank. Then when in range scan and find your AP (or add the SSID) and re-add it typing in the pw again. This actually fixes a lot of problems people have with wifi connecting/disconnecting intermittently or never obtaining an ip.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lu270bro:
OK, will give that a go. If that doesnt work I will restore to my working cm7 .06 then install from there and just wipe data and cache minus the formatting. If that doesnt work I will just unroot the phone, factory reset, root, and install 1.2 staightaway. BTW this is the first issue i have had running CM7 on my phone since i first flashed it on the second or third pre-alpha build.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] boingboingbilly:
Me too, same issue. Otherwise perfect for me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
Doing what I mentioned should fix you up! I've run into that issue after flashing an AOSP ROM and trying a different kernel. I reflashed the ROM that had the stock kernel with it and all was fine.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dc iz 2 legit:
Can someone make a thread for this fix it would be a good idea I would but I dont know what chmod 000 means I found the config file in root explorer but don't know what to do with it
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
On the top click on Mount R/W. Long press on the file and choose change permissions. Remove all the boxes that have check marks until they are all empty. Save and you should be good to go.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] xCHPx:
Is this in reply to me?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommy m:
Will the new radio from the ruu leak work with this ?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lu270bro:
Ok tried that, no go. I just restored my working .06 and now I can't connect to wifi with the backup. Something seems borked. Besides in the actual wifi settings tab wasn't there a config file somewhere that could be deleted? Seems like I read something about doing that eleventy four pages back. I'm stumped. Fixing to go watch Transformers 3D so I will resume the quest when I get home.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
It's the DHCP folder you are speaking of I believe.

I would try to just wipe EVERYTHING and load a fresh copy of RC1.2 and before loading anything after initial boot see if wifi is up then. If so restore your apps only! Don't restore any /system data or files.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] caseydietz:
I don't wipe before upgrading CM7 versions, never had any problems with the bolt or Evo fwiw.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] andrewc513:
I think it's all relative to what people do on their phones. For example, if not wiping caused 4G havoc, I wouldn't know or care because I'm not in a 4G area (yet!).

...or a "CYA" thing for the devs. As a PC tech, I tell people the dangers of static all the time. Yet I work on carpet all the time and don't give a flip. Rebel!

Usually, it its not a big deal, but with the new version you need to refresh the apn data. You could also try the apn backup and restore app.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] JFMFT:
I can report 3G isn't working for me on the 3rd test release just posted, however, I've been on Wi-Fi all day and only checked 3G after flashing this new build 30 minutes ago. I also have another TBolt on the stock ROM and it gets 3G.
