do you know if alltel contracts get a new prl?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] maizekidstill81:
Did you adjust anything in the spare parts app?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PorscheGuy:
Same here! I'm only in a 3G area but the signal is horrible. It constantly drops completely at work in various places that my work phone (Droid Pro) is weak but still OK. I love CM though so I think I'll run rooted stock during the day at work and CM nights and weekends. Regardless amazing work on this ROM!!! I'm sure this will get solved eventually...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] miketoasty:
Tried this and it didn't work but a reboot did.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] eacosta4207:
This is my report for CM 7. I am currently on the leaked Baseband 1.16.00.0402w_1 with the leaked Software Number 1.13.605.7 that I used to run Twisted Sense 1.5.1. After I wiped data, cache, dalvik, and battery stats, I loaded the CM 7 Test 4 file that I downloaded from XDA. I downlaoded the file from XDA via my T-Bolt. I was able to connect to my wireless home router with no problems. I was also able to access the internet via my wifi connection. Everything seems to work, including GPS with a few exceptions.

After I set up my account and downloaded all of my apps (while connected to wifi), I dialed *228 and received a message stating that Verizon was unable to ativate my phone and for me to call some "800" number. I did not call Verizon out of fear! I also tried "##778#" but received a similar recorded greeting. I was able to send and receive text messages as well as make and receive phone calls even though I was unable to "Activate or Update My Roaming Capabilities" with *228. I tried the "Fix Permissions" fix via Rom Manager but that didn't seem to fix any of my issues so I went back to Twisted Sense.

I tried downloading CP 7 Test 4 onto my phone via Rom Manager/Recovery again and had the exact same issues, again. This time, I also tested the FM Radio app with my headphones and the sound coming from both sides was great, that is until I received a phone call which came through on the headphones perfectly. After ending the call, I was unable to get the fm radio to play again, even after I stopped the app and re-opened it, it appears to be broken now.

Sorry for the lengthy post but I just wanted to describe my experiences with this rom. I AM NOT COMPLAINING BECAUSE I LOVE THIS ROM!!! I am merely posting what I've seen so far. I can't wait to continue testing CM7 and I am looking forward to a stable build.

I AM a noob but I have rooted, ROMed and SBF'd my OG Droid, DInc, Fascinate, Droid X and now my T-Bolt. I have no computer training and all this coding stuff is confusing to me but I can follow directions like nobody's business, if the directions are clear and detailed. I've done a little Terminal Emulator commands but only using good step by step directions. I am willing to test stuff but I would need some direction.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] miketoasty:
Just switched from cm to stock and checked signal strength. Went from -75 to -73 hardly a difference. I don't know what's going on with you but its not cm.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nkd:
Dude, there is no such thing as *228 with thunderbolt, whether you are using stock rom or cyanogen mod. You dont need to do any such thing, if your sim is activated you can use any rom.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] thejosher:
No *228 for 4G devices. On stock, if you dial *228, the phone automatically ends the call. It activates itself using the SIM card. :)

edit: oops, too slow!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] miketoasty:
Yea the fact that you actually got to the recording is worrisome as calling that is supposed to nuke your sim card which is why you can't even call it on stock roms.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] thejosher:
Indeed. If you aren't receiving service, you might need a new SIM card. Flash your phone back to stock and unroot, and take it into Verizon and play dumb :P
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Breezer23:
NO! Stupid remarks like that are the reason carriers and manufacturers are locking down phones. You took the risk, deal with the consequences.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] newtsevo:
Oh and cm7 rocks. Had it briefly on my d1 before I switched to the x (mistake). Never going back to locked bootloaders if this is what I'm missing out on. Thank you to all the devs who have hands in this project!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] newtsevo:
I'm not sure about the Alltel prls. I started just as they finished with the buy out. Surprisingly I haven't seen to many Alltel phones come through the store. Also *228 won't nuke your SIM card. Enough sales reps dialed that out of habit. If it nuked the SIM, VZW would be on a shortage of SIM cards haha
[Thunderbolt Android Development] thejosher:
I wasn't talking about warranty fraud (which would be pointless anyway -- the phone itself is unaffected by a botched *228) -- only a replacement SIM, which AFAIK Verizon offers for no charge. The technician actually fried my SIM while activating my device in store and just grabbed another like it was a none-issue.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] eacosta4207:
OOps, I told you I was a noob! My phone does work though, calls and text work fine. The problem that I'm experiencing is the fm radio stopped working after I received a phone call. I guess I got lucky when I called *228 that nothing bad happened to my phone. Thanks for the heads up, now I know. I will, however continue to test this rom.

Wifi/Data Fix

If you go into wifi settings and click on static: set all fields, menu-save, reboot.

Now you should be able to switch between wifi and data with any more rebooting.

Thanks to utkanos for this. This was how I first got wifi to work at all and he did most of the work with figuring out what the problem was and how to fix it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] avlfive:
Ok, anyone that was having the settings not sticking bug, what did you do to fix it? I've tried everything I can think of. Started from complete scratch and it wasn't there for a while then it just randomly popped up.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cmo220:
4g Fix

1. Menu>Settings>Wireless & Networks>Mobile Networks>Network mode: select cdma+evdo auto, wait for green 3g

2. switch to cdma + LTE/evdo auto.......if immediately you lose data do step 1 and 2 again

3. wait.....if not in 10 minutes repeat steps 2-4

These steps have worked for me on about 15 reboots tonight. Usually takes about 3-5 minutes and 4g should stick until reboot or you leave 4g area. Don't know if it's necessary but after I switch to cdma+lte/evdo I don't touch the phone again for 3-5 minutes. When I turn the screen back on its usually on 4g. If it doesn't work the first time try again.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cmo220:
Are you flashing Gapps before you boot the ROM the first time. Make sure you boot ROM first then go to recovery and flash Gapps and you shouldn't have the problem. Not positive, but it looks that way.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] avlfive:
I'm wiping everything, loading the rom, booting it up, downloading gapps and then flashing it. Then I'll run fix permissions. Settings stuck for a while, then started acting up.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommyboy2034:
video audio

I have 2 bugs I've found (1 has probably been mentioned).

1.) Audio while recording video doesn't work (on my phone)

2.) I was using the FM transmitter earlier, and all other audio would not work while it was on (notifications, ring etc)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] htcimagio:
Slayher, why wont you share the changes with jamezelle (as far as the ril goes) :(?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pmdied:
Interesting. I reinstalled CM7 clean last and picked up 4g right away. (Northern NJ). Yet I couldn't get 4g to work in NYC during an earlier install/attempt during the day.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jaxidian:
Fix permissions a couple more times, with some reboots. I've heard people much smarter than I (rom/kernel devs) say this is sometimes needed. I habitually fix permissions if I change anything major and never have the settings problem.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] djkeller3:
Funny, I have rooted and ROMed the exact same phones! Hilarious!

Was it after 10pm (Eastern Time) when you tried updating your radio? I have gotten that recording EVERY SINGLE TIME if I wait until fairly late at night to do so. Ubrocked explained to me at the time, that it's probably because Verizon is updating their roaming database and that I should try again after 6am. Sure enough, that worked like a charm. It happened when I was working on the OG Droid and the Fascinate. Give that a try. It's as simple as the time of day.

Edit: Guess I should have read the entire thread first. So much great support and information in here!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] luniz7:
Looking forward to a great build in the future.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Travar1410:
anyone able to get swype onto this ROM? i NEED swype lol.. i downloaded just fine but its says installation failed when trying to install it :(
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Aerogriff:
I'd assume they want everything working much smoother and in better working order before everyone gets their hands on it tweaking it and whatnot.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jc8206:
Okay, first off the rom is BA! Great job thus far.......but I'm having an issue with my wifi turning on automatically and cancelling out 3g......am i missing a setting somewhere that keeps wifi from auto enabling? (And if this has been addressed I apologize)

T-bolt>>CM7 pre-alpha running like a champ...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jaxidian:
Running fine for me. I'm using the old one, not the beta, because it's much more stable for me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jaxidian:
Most people have to reboot when they go from wifi to mobile data or vice versa.

You have to wipe everything. Do the data/factory reset option, not just dalvik cache
[Thunderbolt Android Development] djkeller3:
+1. Yep, if you don't do full wipe, expect endless bootlooping.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Droopie28:
loaded it, no signal, reverting to stock radio, and will report back... liked what I saw so far
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nunoriffitti:
I did a nand and went back to my sense rom... I want to avoid doing a full wipe if at all possible...anyone have any suggestions to try before a full wipe?

EDIT sorry I just read your post dj
[Thunderbolt Android Development] raziel36:
Facebook force closes after logging in, then immediate force closes on any further attempts, until data is cleared for the app, then login again, force closes. Any ideas on this? It runs great, but will probably only use it for playing around with, until a full/stable ROM comes out. Lock screen is horribly disfigured by a lower LCD Density, as well.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Forgetfull:
Anyone else having a issue where you show no bars of service but when making a call it goes up to 3/4?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Screwbal:
To late to try this here now but going down this road and the full wipe how hard will it be to get back to froyo if one wanted to?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Forgetfull:
I'm pretty sure you just need to install another rom and/or radio depending on if you switched that.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] waxedstrong:
Just do a NAND backup and revert back if needed.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] patdroid1:
do a backup prior to installing...when done playing around...restore.

i just restored after testing and back up and running. no probs at all

Are you guys kidding?

Just load from rom manger your backup (Which i hope you made)

If not Load the leaked/or Stock PCG*.img file and and you will be back.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ericcwhitaker:
Some minor things I've noticed.

The static key lights don't always work, sometimes they're on, but usually on the homescreen they are off. Which is ok, they distract and bleed too much for a phone this price.

Also, I can't seem to set any preferences and get them to stick. Anyone else having this issue?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Bimmer323:
Sleep animation is awesome.

Still no 4g, for those getting 4g, what setting is your radio on?

I don't have a LTE setting anymore.

WCDMA preferred

GSM

WCDMA only

CDMA auto PRL (checked)

CDMA only

EvDo only

GSM/CDMA auto prl

Unknown

Thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] avlfive:
Thanks, I'll definitely give that a shot.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mitchell4500:
Iv tried this and it didnt help :(
[Thunderbolt Android Development] avlfive:
I just tried multiple times also and got no luck. Might just have to try to wipe completely and reflash.

BTW are we still supposed to be on stock radios or the newest leak?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] timothymilla:
Ok am I the only one getting terrible battery life?? I'm taking 3 hours tops with the screen on. And are 3g data speeds slower on this rom? I'm sorry guys I can't go back to sense after this it's too sweet!!! No gps is a pain though :/
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wotdsm:
Woohoo! I'm finally 1337 enough to post here.

Absolutely loving CM7 on this phone. I'm so happy to have AOSP again! Takes a while to connect to LTE but it's stable when it does. Wifi won't route (don't really care about that since LTE is faster than my wifi). And I get no GPS. Aside from those minor issues, I love it. This ROM will be my daily driver from here on out since in-call audio works now.

One thing I did notice is that downlink speed is sporadic at best. I'm not sure if the ookla speedtest app just doesn't like CM7 or if it's something else. I could pull ~30 meg down with tesla coil. With CM7 I pull 5-6 sometimes, 10-12 sometimes, and I've pulled 30 a few times. Weird.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jaxidian:
Yeah, there are battery issues due to Cell Standby and Phone Idle. These two are MAJOR sources of battery drain but should only be minor sources of it. Once these issues are worked out, we should see MUCH better battery life. I suspect "Cell Standby" is related to our radios constantly having trouble maintaining data connections. Not sure about the "Phone Idle" one, though.

Regarding the slower 3G speeds, I think you'll find it hit-or-miss as to whether or not it's slower. This points right back to what I just mentioned about our radios having trouble maintaining data connections. If your connection isn't stable, surely it'll be slower.

All of this goes into the "They're working on it" category. :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jaxidian:
That was my next suggestion (wipe/reflash).

As for the radio, nobody knows. I'd suggest going with the leak (since it's about to be pushed OTA). Quite a few people think the radio version matters but given how all over the place reports are, I'd say, on average, it doesn't matter so start with the newest one. And if you have problems, then try the other one.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MrKleen1:
No that is not normal...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gujupmp88:
yeah, im getting pretty bad battery life as well. 41 mins for display on and 3.5 hours off the charger. down to 65 percent. on sense builds i used to be around at least 75 percent by now, if not more. time to try a bunch of different kernels....
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JustinD2473:
I've been running the Test4(3) file since it came out yesterday morning and could not get 4g here in Phoenix, Az.

I was toggling the settings from CDMA / EvDo auto to CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto every few hours to see if LTE would light up. It did not all day yesterday.

Then on my first attempt this morning it worked fine...no reboot, no reflashing any other rom or radio. I am on the leaked radio btw. But like someone said previously inthis thread that also lived in Az...I think VZW is/was still having some issues with the network....hopefully not in Phoenix now though !

Leaked Skype won't install

The leaked version of video skype will not install on CM7 for me. Is anyone else having this problem? I tried pushing it through adb, but it still would not install. If anyone has any insight, please let me know :eek:

Never mind everyone....I found the answer, duh!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jaysckap:
Set CPU is your friend create a profile for screen off and set min and Max to 245 works great
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JustinD2473:
the leaked Skype will not work on this build. It requires some of the VZW/HTC software included in the stock Rom to work. Until there is a full release of Skype w/ video chat on the Android Market it will not work on CM7.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] avlfive:
Doesn't work on CM right meow.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gujupmp88:
yeah, i've been using set cpu for awhile now. with my og droid, then fascinate. but for some reason, it just doesn't like to play well with my thunderbolt. makes it slow down a lot...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tomtripp21:
Any idea when they are going to push the update out? When they do I'm sure it will overwrite CM7 on our devices, right? Then will we have to wait on another build for the new software? I'm pretty sure we will be getting Gingerbread on this OTA right? Sorry for all the questions.....
[Thunderbolt Android Development] superskaterxes:
i just did this and it worked for me, reporting from DC Metro area!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dlongb13:
No this not GB, this is a MR, maintenance release. And no the OTA has nothing to do with CM7. Only affect it could have it the radio could be new, but we already have the radio so there is going to be very little to no affect the OTA could have on CM7. And also don't wager that the OTA will even be pushed, many MR's have been pulled before.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] miketoasty:
No. Our phones will decline the ota basically. This happens when you install a custom rom basically. Also this is not gingerbread it is a fix for some things that the xda community has had for a while.

Too slow =P
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jaxidian:
No, CM won't let OTA updates run. So that's not a factor in the conversation. And yeah, at some point they'll push GB over OTA, but we'll already have it. :-)

[edit] oops, didn't see the question already answered
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jaysckap:
The GB OTA will be gingersense not AOSP for a preview check out the Sensation/Doubleshot port. I'm not a fan of sense but those ports have changed my mind

[Thunderbolt Android Development] hyatari:
Just my observations after a few days of running. GPS doesn't toggle on at all it appears (expected after reading the initial post). Sound quality thru the earpiece while on a call seems to be a little degraded. Wifi needs to be enabled before a reboot or it wont work until another reboot with it enabled beforehand. The light sensor seems to need a bit of adjusting as the soft keys seem to randomly go off and on while screen brightness changes randomly while using auto brightness obviously. Other minor things that aren't too important here and there. For a pre alpha release its running pretty sweet and better than expected. I'm not in 4g area yet so I can't speak to that.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] angermeans:
Meow lol that's nice.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jaxidian:
For what it's worth, I thought the OP made it incredibly clear that if you install this ROM that you had better be prepared to do some work. And if using the search button or actually reading the thread (you pick, you don't actually have to do both) is too much work then perhaps you should wait until it's no longer a pre-release. If people did this, then this thread would be pages and pages shorter.

(btw, this is a hypothetical "you", I'm not directing this at you, Breezer23)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MechaMorph:
Just a note...been using Test 4 (test 3 in filename) and loving it. Wife is no longer mad about echo. ;) GPS works. 4G is working for me. Loving the speed. Keep up the good work Slayher, toastchf, birdman, and everybody else putting work into Mecha.

Well said. instead of staring at there phones for hours waiting for 4g to flash on for a split second they should be searching or reading this thread.
