I'm using the stock .233 radio (is that it? Whatever the stock baseband is, temp memory lapse ) and... I can't get reliable data. Have tried the toggling, tried flashing different radios, nothing. It will show a 3G connection but its hardly 3G speeds. I've tried everything I've read to fix it, spent probably two hours toggling between cdma/evdo to lte... Just... No luck
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jakejonez:
My data does this intermittently...it has on every build of CM7. The connection seems to be most stable on the stock kernel. That said, my data does not stop functioning entirely unless the device is rebooted; I have not tested with Dream Kernel, however.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] qwirked:
I can't speak ascot any mobile data issues but this rooms seems excellent so far. Has a smoother feel than the previous releases as well that I can't put my finger on but it is good.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Veridor:
After flashing RC0.3, I find I cannot connect to mobile data at all. Was on the MR1 release radio, but flashed back to the original stock (223) radio, as well as doing a full wipe (data/cache/system) and re-flashing the ROM. Voice works, as does BT and WiFi, but still can't get 1x, 3G, or 4G to connect. Seems like my APN settings are gone, too.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] iastonish:
Are you in a 4g area? If not try setting it to CDMA/EVDA auto. I did this and the data has been much more stable. Also using Drod's new kernal.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dc iz 2 legit:
Put the back cover on!! Lol

Edit: been on this build all day I haven't had any problems other than I lose data !SOMETIMES! When the phone is trying to switch

3g/4g data but it would just fix itself after a little waiting
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Veridor:
I did remove and re-seat the back cover, to be safe, since I tried puling and re-inserting the battery and SIM card after a power down.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] techspecs:
Back in for this CM7 build. Seems better overall but I think my battery might burn my hand holding the phone typing this.

./adb signature
[Thunderbolt Android Development] IDroidThere4Iam:
I've been on all this all day and I didn't lose my data connection . I was on 3G all day today, so I don't know about 4G. Got back home and it switched to wi-fi no problem. Still running great. On RC0.2 I had issues, but RC0.3 is great for me. Settings stick and MMS is still working too.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pmdied:
So far my wifi, GPS, Bluetooth and 3g has worked flawlessly. When I head into a 4g area I will report back.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] th0r615:
Everything seems to be working great then a few hours after flashing my mic no longer works. I can make calls right after flashing but then a couple of hours later my mic no longer seems to work....?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bmt626:
It seems like I have really low in call volume on speaker and built-in have not tested bt
[Thunderbolt Android Development] masInvasion:
So far RC0.3 seems very good RC0.2 was a little buggy at first but it seemed to iron itself out but RC0.3 seems very stable on initial boot!

Thank you! I'm really impressed with recent progress. Definitely getting closer to an end product.

Will give it a full test tm and post results.

Thanks again!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Turb0wned:
For me I still don't have gps working and when people call me it doesn't work sometimes...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] stanlalee:
I was having the same issue (for some reason people thought I was complaining of data speed) but looking back thru the thread I found a post for direct downloading goo-inside.me - rc downloads I guess we are just expected to know these things lol.

Anyhow data connection is MUCH more stable with this version then the last version so you may want to give it a try. All I really need is the video audio (I saw the file name change post. I may give that a go or wait for something built in).
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dvgb173:
+1 This.

I kept waiting for the degradation that others have experienced, and it hasn't happened!

Everything is working great with this release. Using included kernel. Battery seems the same as what I've had since stock - about 8-9 hours. I charge at work and on the road, though. Leave it on over night as well.

I am not in a 4G area, so my bar is quite a bit lower than most tbolt owners. I'd be pissed if I had 4G stock and I couldn't get it with CM7!

Can't wait for ChevyNo1 to do his magic on the 'bolt!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mojonation1487:
hmmmm I did that at the very beginning before I even booted up. Let me try again. I'll report back with the results.

EDIT*** Okay that's a kick in the pants. All it needed was a reboot. Now everything is solid. NICE!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mojonation1487:
Lol while i'm doing so what does everybody think of the 4G symbol in the status bar? :P
[Thunderbolt Android Development] m00nshake:
Can anyone confirm whether stand alone GPS works after fix permissions...?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] otto888:
Not working over here.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MrKleen1:
Data works perfectly fine if you make the switch to 3g per the instructions posted many times in this thread. While some may be able to get 4g for spurts, it is not worth messing with in this "pre-alpha".

Stick with 3g that works very well and have some fun with it for now.

P.S. I am on the leaked radio I installed the other day and it works just fine...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mojonation1487:
For me it doesn't but everything is working fine minus headphones. Also I haven't tried a phone call yet.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Smok3d:
Weird, I rebooted my phone with 6% battery and it came back at 8%.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommyboy2034:
I don't have a "Mic" option, any apps that use a mic say that voice isn't supported on this device... i didn't see this listed as a "known" issue but I may have missed it.

*edit* turns out I didn't have "Voice Search" installed, all is good on this front.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] OldManJames:
Cause it doesn't have any stock HTC framework stuff that the napkins checks for
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mojonation1487:
Mic's are definitely reversed for phone calls. That blowsssssss. lol I was so close to having everything working!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] xCHPx:
Gonna wait til data and mics/sound are fully working. Great advancement though! :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jc8206:
Ok so what am I supposed to be looking for in this "alpha " release? And why isn't it a beta?? This thing is sweet!

T-bolt>>dasBAMF 1.5 remix, BAMF 4.4.2 kernel, urban theme...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawonder:
My 3G and 4G icon doesn't show up all i have are the bars and it's telling i don't have any network connection restored Das Bamf and also Virus and it's the same . They only work on wifi ,can anyone help with this ?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] swimminsurfer256:
i agree this definitely seems more like at least an alpha (not quite beta). i wouldnt expect this kind of awesomeness out of a pre-alpha though for sure!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] noisufnoc:
I was thinking...rather than trying to rip the stuff out of skype, could the HTC framework be put into CM? Or does that violate rules?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommyboy2034:
I tried to install another keyboard and was unable to use it as an alternative input method
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pinhead875:
I'm using SwiftKey. It works perfectly fine.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DS36:
UMMMMM my camera view finder is working just fine????? thought it was supposed to be broken.

and no data for me here.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pmdied:
What amazes me is the stock thunderbolt rom is over 300+ MB and this downloads at 90.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mojonation1487:
Thats cuz sense is a bloated hog. :P
[Thunderbolt Android Development] joec651:
I've noticed the very low call volume as well.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] andrewc513:
The low call volume is a picky issue that can materialize on any Android rom/phone combo, it seems. My Nexus One's stock Froyo had the same issue until I flashed CyanogenMod. My TBolt now has the low volume on this pre-alpha CyanogenMod, but is fine on other roms. My friend has a Galaxy S Showcase with rom for the Mesmerize (Pick'n Pack, I think) and he has low call volume.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mokitaco:
RC 0.2 gave me nothing but problems. RC 0.1 was buggy but good enough to be a daily driver. RC 0.3 is seriously amazing. The data connection switches are still a bit iffy but my battery life is noticeable better and 4G is solid as a rock. My widgets don't think I'm in Virginia anymore. Well done guys.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Veridor:
Flashed jcase's Custom MR1 Upgrade RUU in bootloader, wiped, flashed cm7, flashed gapps, rebooted, and now I have data, but stuck at 1x. Changed from eHRPD to EVDO Rev A, and I have 3G back. Hope this isn't a repeat of the April 2011 eHRPD/LTE outage.

Major kudos to ThatOneDude for helping me get back to 1x data.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] chocoyo00:
That's funny...mine suddenly got stuck at 1x from being at 3G too, i restored a backup from RC02 got 3G back then reinstalled RC03 and 3G works again...weird..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Derrtydozen:
+1 on the GPS

Tried all available kernels and same result....Navigation stays on "Searching for location"
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tv31284:
Looks like i'm not as lucky as the rest of you. 4g data is still flaky, gps still takes forever to lock on, and does anyone else's auto brightness stop working after awhile?

The rom is great otherwise and I can't wait for it to get more stable. Just coming from the original droid and i'm missing cm7 already, but I kinda need gps to be better since I use for my job all the time.

In any case, its great to have two dedicated and talented developers on the thunderbolt. Good times ahead.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] qman66:
the incall bt volume fix is terrific. it was actually too loud. so far this is by far the best release. ive had a problem since 0.2 with my podcasts app listen, the time of the podcast gets stuck at 0 or where it was before. this wasnt happening before so this is clearly something with cm7. also the ringtone being silent sometimes is annoying as well as getting the default ringtone for a certain contact. overall great work thus far slayer!!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Veridor:
Maybe I missed it in searching the thread, but is there a way to change from eHRPD to EVDO rev A without flashing to a Sense ROM and doing the whole ##778# shortcut?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
not at all...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] LSUstang05:
Yup. Mine stopped working a while ago. Didn't really think much of it until you mentioned something, though. Reboot doesn't seem to fix it and neither does a fresh/clean install :confused:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mrksbrd:
Haven't looked thru all 400+ pages but has anyone noticed a laggy browser load times and double tap zoom on rc 0.3
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ikithme:
Did he recompile to include the video camera fix or do you still have to rename that file?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] miketoasty:
Go back to sense get a good GPS signal then restore cm from a backup. Its the only way I could get GPS to work as I didn't even have the icon appear before that.

Oh and I am now going on 24 hours of non stop 4g!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bmerrill63:
This is bar far the BEST CM7 has ran for me!!!

Only issue is none of my installed apps will show up in the "my apps" section on the market. Tried the market doctor in TiBu and wipe data for the market. Any other ideas or tricks?

I am very happy with this release and want to thank all involved. You guys rock, thanks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Veridor:
Try TB Market Doctor, force stop and clear data on market, then a reboot.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ddgarcia05:
What always works for me is that i load all my apps up before syncing my google account. Just keep a backup of titanium on your sdcard and load it via stock file manager. After the apps are installed log into your google account and the market will recognize all the apps on the device except amazon? appstore apps obviously.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] pmdied:
So far wifi,bt, GPS and 4g handoff working seamlessly.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] eacosta4207:
I noticed this as well. I switched browsers which load much faster than the stock browser. Im trying Dolphin and Opera but I still like the stock browser the best except for the long loading times. Im also having issues with my GPS. I've tried the agps app as well as the GPS fix app but nothing seems to get the GPS to work! Does anyone have any suggestions? I also need my navigation app to work!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] miketoasty:
I have not noticed any difference between the browser now and with the browser on the initial release.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] superskaterxes:
still cant get 4G to stick on this one. also the one time i did get it to even come on it was still only ~4.5mbps compared to the 17-20 on bamf.

i also cant send mail from gmail. havent been able to since the first release. i receive just fine but if i go to reply it just sits on sending.

havent tried GPS yet but BT worked just fine.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] deltwalrus:
I'm going to have to try a new kernel then, because even on RC2, over the last 15 minutes I've dropped 4 percent of my battery. I know the battery indicator lies, but doing the math, that would indicate a full discharge in about 6 hours 15 minutes. Not great, but not the increase we'd hope for from Gingerbread and/or CM7.

(That's with BT off, WiFi off, CDMA/EvDo mode on, GPS on. Typical day's radio usage...)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] deltwalrus:
This (Gmail not tx'ing, only rx) happened to me, I had to wipe and reinstall. Nothing else I tried (and I tried many things) would fix this. It seemed to stem from restoring a NANDroid backup after something went south.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mrchambo:
Same here. Running kb's 0.5 kernel, dropped 56% overnight, with only GPS on. Switched to Dream 1.26. Will report back tomorrow...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kkozma:
Manage applications -> gmail -> clear data & cache

Sign back in and it'll work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] techspecs:
I'm a fan of Imo's Lean kernels, FWIW.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jjpike:
S'far as I can tell after running the RC.3 my data switching seems to work fine. Running dream kernel and battery life is still horrible. Going to try Drod's kernel today. Hopefully that uses less.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] superskaterxes:
worked, thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] raziel36:
Until I made a call just before this, the top three were all 33%.. like it's just averaging them. Doesn't seem very accurate, at all. Phone was left off charge for this whole time(overnight). Did some texting and browsing last night, too. Had 41% battery left after the 14 hours off charger. 1516/768 are my clock Max/min settings, no profile for screen off.. pretty good battery life, considering my overclocking, I think.

Bluetooth and GPS were both on the whole time, as well.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] deltwalrus:
Using the extended battery, right? I can't believe you could get 14+ hours from the standard one. If you are, we need much more information about what you have running, kernel version, radio version, etc. Because that is ridiculously good battery life.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] superskaterxes:
does GPS only turn on when using applicable apps? ie maps/gps test/ect. i notice that the only time i see the little GPS icon at the top is when an application actually needs to use it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] inline6power:
i am on stock battery and i am getting 14 plus hours as well with my setup. both on cm7 and bamf 2.0 v5
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PWEB18:
Please tell me your secret.

Edit: reading back maybe with wifi using less power but bluetooth on? How do you manage 14 with that overclock
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jakejonez:
+1 I'd like to know radio version, kernel, some of your settings, etc. I'm not seeing anything close to this on the standard battery, and my install of CM7 is running pretty smoothly.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] conazo:
Guys the trick to long battery life is having either 3G or Wifi turned on at all times once you turn on 4G you are done 4G is a battery Hogger. i get about 20 to 22 hours on boLTEd Rom which is based on froyo with htc sense.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] inline6power:
Running bamf 2 beta 5 with imoseyons 2.8. 0 kernel. Brightness set to 20% can go 24 hours
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sincerity:
just installed the latest and my home button doesn't work...any ideas

also, search button doesn't register either...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] spy890:
Did you wipe data/cache?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] conazo:
ofcourse thats not using 4G right? you must be on either 3G or wifi to get that much battery life
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sincerity:
yes, twice....also tried reinstalling rom file but no dice....
[Thunderbolt Android Development] deltwalrus:
I have had days where I never turned on 4G at all, only wifi and 3G. Never got close to your numbers. Something else is afoot.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] deltwalrus:
Not to put too fine a point on it, but that's an apples to oranges to pineapples comparison. This is a CM7 thread, is anyone with the latest CM7 build getting good battery life? If so, what kernel/radio, any other info, etc.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] conazo:
well 22 was my max when i used the phone but not as much as i do now, im currently getting around 15 hours to 17 facebooking,twitter,email,gaming,chatting on liveprofile,whatsapp,gtalk, watching videos here and there..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trendsetter37:
So is it just me or does the tethering app not work on the latest cm7. I've even tried wifi tether to no avail and the native app interferes with it to the point where it doesn't work anymore...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dc iz 2 legit:
I'm using newest build of dream kernal and its working really great battery is good and my phone does not get hot like drods kernal
[Thunderbolt Android Development] chocoyo00:
Same thing happened to me, I rebooted into recovery, fix permissions, rebooted again and it was fixed.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] deltwalrus:
Barnacle is your friend.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PerCompLLC:
Maybe, but the native app would be even better... :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Morkai Almandragon:
What was changed in the 6-1 release? Does 4g connect without any tricks? Is data faster?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scook9:
I agree, on my Dinc I prefer the native app vs using WiFi Tether

I like being able to toggle it from the notification power widgets
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jgrimberg1979:
I found this app very helpful in making the switch from cdma/evdo auto to lte/cdma auto a little less painful. You still have to go.trhough a couple of tabs but not as bad as going to settings then wireless networks then networks etc.

http://market.android.com/details?id=com.geoffreybuttercrumbs.lteswitch
[Thunderbolt Android Development] avlfive:
I'm pretty sure that Slayher said if you use one of these type of apps, you may have to flash back to a Sense based ROM in order to get data to work again.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jgrimberg1979:
No this is different. All it.does is provide a shortcut to the native network settings. It is not the same as jcase's LTE app which what you are referring to
[Thunderbolt Android Development] avlfive:
I'm not going to try it. Not worth the risk. The screen shots in the market look just like JCase's app. CM7 does not have those network settings. Just my 2¢.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jacobk:
can someone please link the best radio to use with this? im using 1.13.605.7 CDMA/LTE radio combo and the 4g keeps going in/out
[Thunderbolt Android Development] stoli412:
I'm getting the same problem with the native wifi app in CM7 as I saw in Sense ROMs: the connection will cut out and then get stuck in a loop of acquiring and losing the 3G signal. Under 3G the tethering is unusable. It also happens under 4G but much less frequently.

Wireless tether for root interferes with the native app so it's not usable. I guess I'll have to give Barnacle another shot.

It's just so weird that the native app has problems in both AOSP and Sense, yet 3rd party apps work fine. Is it a radio issue?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scook9:
Wonder if it works properly with the Verizon Mobile HotSpot crap of if that suffers the same problems

If that is also doing this then we may see a fix from Verizon
[Thunderbolt Android Development] miketoasty:
4G went from taking 5 to 10 minutes to me to instantly when switching back and forth. I can go from a 4G to a 3G to a 4G zone without having to do any tricks. Only when restarting or when turning mobile data off. Data has always been as fast as sense for me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pmdied:
BTW- USB mount had no problem, either.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sincerity:
good to know, I ended up reinstalling everything and narrowed it down to some system data being restored in TB. apps restored and everything was fine, went to restore system and highlighted some stuff in green....bam, no home button. Not sure exactly which one it was that caused this though.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] stoli412:
Yes, mobile hotspot is buggered under Sense ROMs when using 3G. That's why I was surprised when CM7 had the exact same problem. Makes me think it has something to do with the radio. But then again 3rd party hotspot apps work fine. Very odd.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] major_works:
No risk. I just downloaded it and it works fine. It's just a shortcut to the wireless settings menu in CM7, no more, no less. Saves a couple of taps.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] emarusamun:
I got the one sided earbud glitch again. Hitting voice search or whatever fixed it. I'm on imo's 184mhz 2.7.2
[Thunderbolt Android Development] buttstink:
Stock 0223r radio
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommyboy2034:
I'm noticing that my battery icon isn't consistent with how much battery life I have left.

It appears that I have 85-90% life, but when I look @ the status it says 60%... anyone else?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommyboy2034:
Probably a side affect of some of the wifi fixes that have taken place, but i'm noticing that when my phone is locked, wifi doesn't stay connected, after I unlock it, it shows 3g, then the wifi connects and 3g hides... might be a display issue and not a data issue, not sure.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trendsetter37:
Yea barnacle the only tethering app that works on cm7...didn't know that
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jgrimberg1979:
Dude, its not a risk all it is a shortcut to the native settings. It saves a couple of seconds thats all it isnt going to screw up your phone. Just trying to help.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] xCHPx:
What would be the best way to try this? Stock kernel? Dream kernel? Kang bang? Lean kernel?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] frostman89:
WiFi settings, hit menu, advanced, WiFi sleep policy, never.

Sent from Thunderbolt.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] deltwalrus:
That's tough to say. No one seems to have found a "silver bullet" kernel that works fine in all cases. Some love Kang Bang, some do fine on Slayher's stock, I run well on Dream kernel. Try them all, you've got nothing to lose but about 10 minutes per kernel. :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] deltwalrus:
Thank you, sir! Would not have thought to look for a context-sensitive menu on that screen... Such a powerful OS Android is, and so lacking in good documentation...
