To re-visit this (light/proximity sensor issue), mine is just plain not working now. When I initially installed CM7 last week, I tweaked the levels a bit to make the buttons stay lit with a little more light. Recently, neither are working; I downloaded the sensor data app, my proximity sensor thinks it's always at 3.5" and my ambient light sensor think 59 lux constantly.

Anyone have any ideas?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rizzomegav:
I get this too (power off issue). I only run cm7 on the weekend because I gotta have my alarm. Cm7 powers off randomly.

this is not a signature I type it in every time maybe sent from my phone or my computer
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Farva0412:
Well the new MR2 radio was released a few says ago that fixed reboot issues and other stuff. It works with both GB & FROYO roms. I wonder if it will work with this too.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MikereDD:
I've heard many times already it will "NOT" work with cm7
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jakejonez:
This is with a 5 minute phone call in the morning, a couple of texts, listening to music to and from work, and sitting in my pocket most of the day. Usually drains around 10%/hour. AKA 50% in 5 hours.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] iastonish:
Extended or regular? I don't see much of a difference in terms of usage, other than mine was on wifi most of the time. I had two email accounts synced to auto refresh every 15 minutes, as well as weather sync. I did make a screen off profile on set cpu, but that shouldn't make that big of a difference.

Even on Gingeritis I'm getting good battery with the same thing, more usage actually because of the the sense lock screen and syncing back all my apps, etc. After 8 hours the battery only drained 5%, only two hours up time though.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jakejonez:
I'm running the stock battery, on 3G only (CDMA/EVDO auto), Kang Bang kernel [not OC'd (I have similar results on stock kernel and Dream)], I sync Twitter every 10 minutes and Facebook every hour, and I have background data enabled for my Exchange account, Gmail, and Google Voice.

I don't usually see Android System usage that high. I'm thinking about starting fresh and seeing how battery life is without anything installed/polling. I just can't stand how fugly Sense is. I'd rather run CM7 than Sense, even though it means I'm running for my charger after work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] potcryan:
Bad standby battery

I've recently switched to CM7 a couple days ago and I like it, but I can't help but notice how much battery is drained when I'm not even using it. Today I only made a few texts and one phone call that lasted a couple minutes and the rest of the time it was in my pocket with the screen off. Any suggestions to have better battery life? I was getting much better results with Das Bamf and the smartass governor. I've got the standard battery and right now I'm using the ondemand governor and I'm using the stock kernel. I only have gmail synced (which should just be push notifications) for my email and then facebook refreshes every 4 hours, weather every 3 hours.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tominabox1:
Your phone wasnt sleeping for the first 3 or so hours... thats not sitting in your pocket.

Also, 20 hours isnt bad for a full battery.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] potcryan:
Where do you get the idea it wasn't sleeping for 3 hours? My screen time is at 40 minutes now and I'm almost at 11 hours on battery.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tominabox1:
the blue bar under the battery use chart indicates when the phone is awake. it was awake for at least 3 hours during the first 3 hours of use...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] iastonish:
That's good battery life for the stock battery.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] iastonish:
See what the guy above is running and try that out. He just posted a screenshot with some pretty good stats for the stock battery.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] potcryan:
That's what I figured but it doesn't make sense because I wasn't using the phone. When I go to the graphic, there's a long bar for wifi at the beginning (i have it on at home and then turn it off when I go to work) and screen on is only a few scattered ticks throughout. Could it be because I set wifi sleep to never? I remember reading that's the best option since it won't switch to 3g when the screen is off.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] joshnichols189:
Just because you aren't using the phone doesn't mean it isn't sleeping..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jimnutt:
I'm also having issues with the microphone not working for VOIP. It works fine for regular calls, but not for VOIP. It's mildly annoying because my work phone is a VOIP line and it's nice to be able to pick it up on the cell, but it's not a show stopper. BTW, this occurs with both the regular headset and bluetooth.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] potcryan:
You mean is sleeping right? And I understand that but am trying to determine why my battery is draining much faster than it did on das bamf with minimal use.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] booda3000:
Jimnutt, same here.

Csipsimple and the native SIP's mics aren't working. Wifi or 3g

I've tried IMO, slayher, drod and dreaming kernels.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] jakejonez:
I consider myself super lucky if my entire battery isn't spent within 9 hours. I wonder, is this the stock battery or the extended battery?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
And look at the display, only 2%, that's pretty damn low if it wasn't in pocket. Cell standby 43%, I'd guess you were in a low signal area and the phone was active to try to get a good lock, that could also explain why your battery drain was so high. If I'm somewhere without good signal and I'm not on call I'll just put the phone in airplane mode, can last for days on that.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] iastonish:
I believe he said he was using the stock battery.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jimnutt:
Is anyone else using Screebl? The battery usage screen says it's taking up an inordinate amount of power (like >50%!) I'm thinking this can't possibly be right, so I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed the same thing..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jgrimberg1979:
When are the nightlies coming out? Progress is incredibly sloooooooooooooooowwwww! I am craving question daily driver version of this rom. I miss it soon much! I just can't deal with the 4g, wifi, FC's, alternate keyboard issues, signal bars bug, Bluetooth issue, call qaulity issue, and any other bug that has slipped my mind. I love the CM devs they kick ass and I will keep on donating because without them my phone would suck, but damn we got dealt a ****ty hand when it comes to getting 1 dev? It doesn't even seem like slayer really cares too much about workkg on this phone. Imos seems to be doing a lot of the work lately and he isn't even with cm. At least that is what I have gatthered from all the tweets. Without a bunch of people cussing me out is there anyone else out there who feels yje same? Honestly?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lrs421:
Patience is a virtue... No eta's!!!!!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Bateluer:
If you want more progress, learn it yourself and make the progress happen.

I want CM on my TB as much as anyone, but its not going to happen for a while.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] joshnichols189:
Ok, you go have five kids with one more coming and rewrite the RIL by yourself. Go ahead, I dare you.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] djkeller3:
I don't mind saying that I understand how you feel. Plenty of people who were the first to flash CM7 have since moved on with CM7 on the back burner, including myself. Sure, I come back here everyday hoping to see progress. Even OMJ just tweeted that the Fascinate just might get CM7 nightlies before the TB, and in my opinion, that's a real shame. The CM team officially supports scads of HTC phones; yet we can't get any more progress made than this.

I'm not complaining - Slayher is a great developer. But come on, the guy has 7 kids, a wife and a career. Why is he the only developer, for the most part, who is working on a phone as big and as ground-breaking as the TB? Slayher should be working jointly with other developers, more than just one, and with a team.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lrs421:
^^^Another dev joined the team about a week ago. It's coming guys...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] iastonish:
Well the math on that....

Anyway, I hope CM7 is done before :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] beavis9k:
Everyone needs to think before hitting send here. CM is awesome. It's fast, clean, and it's free. Think about that last part.

I want a stable, fully working CM7 on my Thunderbolt as much as (or more than) anyone - but the last few posts aren't the way to motivate existing CM7 devs or encourage new ones to get involved.

As soon as someone buys me a second Thunderbolt, pays for a second line on Verizon for me, pays my mortgage, child support, and all my other bills, cleans my house, mows my lawn, does my laundry, makes my car payment, and funds my retirement I would start spending more time working on CM7 for the Thunderbolt.

I suspect other contributors feel the same way.

Be patient.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Kama45:
Mysterious. After maybe four or five days of getting maybe 6 hours of battery life, the last two days I have been getting a solid 10. All but about two days were in the exact same location with the same routine. Hmmm. I'll take it. Especially since I live in an area with horrible reception.

I am happy using the latest CM7 pre alpha release. Feels so good to have liberated my phone.

Clean, Fast and Free! I like it! :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lrs421:
Word up! You eta kids get off my lawn!

Lets get back to discussing the rom now!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] noisufnoc:
I feel the same way. I've been on CM7 for a few weeks now, even with a bug here and there I prefer a CM AOSP ROM over all others.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ardy74:
Do you even follow Slayher on Twitter? He is mentioning something about the TBolt quite often. I was a HUGE fan of CVPCS's Sapphire ROM for the OG Droid and I anxiously await what awesomeness that all the devs will bring to the Thunderbolt. Comments like this however will make a thankless job even more thankless. I can't hit the THANKS button enough for the guys working on the TBolt. Slayher, CVPCS, Imoseyon, Drod, Beavis, Nerozehl --- YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] intangibleDroid:
I know this is kind of off-topic but has anyone checked out the CM stats page recently?

For a "Pre-Alpha Pre-Release" there are a lot of CM Thunderbolts out there :D

mecha	2,173
[Thunderbolt Android Development] n2imagination:
A huge +1 to this post also. My feelings exactly. I have loaded it up 2-3 times along the way but cant stick with the bugs so I revert back to bamf or thunderom. I have the same problem though, in that I feel this phone is not getting the love it deserves. I thought for sure that this phone would be several devs personal mission to hook up w cm. I appreciate Slayers work more than I can express and look so forward to the day this is a daily driver but am just surprised there arent more devs helping.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ardy74:
1) There are more developers than just Slayher working on the Thunderbolt. CVPCS, kernel work from Imoseyon, Drod2169, Beavis9k, and Nerozehl

2) The 4G LTE tech in the Thunderbolt is new. The extra radios alone must be a nightmare for coding. Even the OG Droid had ROM instability for some time after it was released and it was running nearly Vanilla Android stock!

3) The Fascinate is a much older phone than the Thunderbolt. The Fascinate is also built on a hardware platform (Galaxy Series) that is shared on multiple devices. When work is done on one of those sister devices, it can often be ported more easily.

There are multitude of variables relating to ROM development to consider. If you are looking for instant gratification, chose an older device who's bugs have already been worked out. Otherwise, please have patience for the hard working developers out there. Programming for the Thunderbolt is most likely not their full time job.

Be constructive with your comments. Include details/logcat if you have an issue. Try to replicate the bug under a different situation. Complaining is not productive, especially for something in development such as CM7 and the other great ROMs out there.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] masInvasion:
I agree that the phone should have more devs especially to make the next line of 4g phones easier to implement. With that said, I'm just glad to have CM7 at all!

Yea there are a few bugs but this recent build RC0.3 is pretty solid. Wifi and gps works great , other then a few small bugs the only thing that is annoying is the low volume for calls.

I can't thank slayher enough and as it stands now, CM7 on thunderbolt is better then anything else!!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ddgarcia05:
That evo really did catch on fire for sprint. Now they don't want to let go of the evo name.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pmdied:
I must be one of the lucky few with virtually zero problems. WiFi, Bluetooth, gps and 4g transition.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Fodizzle1978:
You and me both....running flawlessly for me! So good that I struggle with the idea that it is still in alpha....Can't imagine anything getting better outside of battery but I just have an xtra battery and charger at work and I swap midway through the day.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Bimmer323:
Everything has been running great for me on CM7 as well.

A few hiccups with 4g, but not a major deal, I actually kept it on 3g the majority of the time, unless I was downloading porn or something LOL!

Battery is the only :( for me, I've been running, cough cough Bamf, for the last two days just to check battery life vs CM. Yep, there is definately a difference, but mainly when the phone is sleeping, average use seems about the same.

It's like with CM, the phone just never really sleeps.

At night while I sleep, with data OFF, my phone loses around 20% using CM, and maybe 5% on a sense rom. It's no big deal since I have two home chargers and an office charger and a car charger....but it still irritates me, kinda like a rash, not painful, just irritating. LOL!

It's still the best evar!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scook9:
The only complaint I can come up with is that the BT volume is inconsistent and when it is quiet it is REALLY quiet :(
[Thunderbolt Android Development] xdpurp:
One issue that came up is when using Navigation there are random moments when a direction is spoken in a volume that is too low to hear. I check my navigation volume and it is fine, and usually the next direction spoken is heard fine.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] CBMC:
The only thing that is keeping this from being my daily driver is the 4g handoff issue. I used this as a daily for 2 weeks with only a few problems. To be honest, even with the few problems I am still seriously considering coming back to cm7.

Well, since slayher released the new build in past 30 minutes, I thought maybe something had changed. And since it was released in just the past 30 minutes, the previous 3-4 pages don't necessarily pertain to this new build.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nimbus79:
just tried to flash .4.. boot looping like a sunofabitch.. white htc screen.. black screen... rinse repeat.

full wipe data/cache/dalvik (also tried a flashover of .3 to be sure..same result)

anyone else?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
Oh how I LOVED CM7 on my Inspire but this version has me worried with all the issues people are reporting. I get it's pre-alpha and all but it's still scary lol. I will say I am no longer currently in a 4G area so if a hack is needed to get 4G I don't need to do it right now. But if I use the recommended radio will I get 4G without hacking further? GPS is useless to me as I simply don't use it on a phone. Anyone else have any issues that make this unusable as a daily?

Oh and what kernel is everyone having the best luck with?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] avlfive:
I think that he would have mentioned the newer radio if it was compatible.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mcmillanje:
This post is just as valid as on the previous build:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tv31284:
Fair enough.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
Well decided to give latest version a shot. Flashing the recommended radio then the ROM. Hopefully it is useable enough to use daily now. I'm ready to be back to AOSP! Sense has been kind of frustrating even with a stripped down version!

Edit: RC0.4 gives HTC white flash screen bootloop. Oh well that's what nandroids are for!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] LexusBrian400:
Just an FYI... I tried this with the latest MR2 radio just to see what would happen... and...

Nothing. Nothing at all. Stick with the OG radio :) :) :)

[Thunderbolt Android Development] LexusBrian400:
Flashed just fine here.

That's strange. I flashed it like I have always flashed a ROM and kept bootlooping. So I restored from my backup. Oh well for now I guess.

Latest release would not connect to wifi, with or without encryption. Tried slayher's kernel, KangBang, and Dream... nothing. Flashed .3 back over .4 and flashed back to Dream 1.3.0, got right back on wifi.

If you are having bootloop issues during install, I suggest flashing a different kernel after flashing rom and before rebooting.................slayer's stock kernel is oc'd to 1.8 and your phone might not be able to handle that.

for me, this is the smoothest version, yet.................gotta be close to beta.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mrchambo:
First of all, thanks to Slayher, cvpcs and toastch, for another winning release. Wiped cache and dalvik in recovery, flashed update 0.4 and rebooted. No problemo, even OCd at 1.8. Perfect.
