might be a noobish question, but....

Is there a way to set the phone's wifi device name? Looks like default is ANDROID-blahblahblahblah.....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FadeFx:
U could use samba for android and set a netbios name and share sdcard over wifi...

I've been running the nightlies since around 20110515, through the usual ups and downs, but generally it's been great.

I had not been out of the city since first flashing, and on our road trip yesterday I realized I had no coverage in the rural areas. (This is on Telus, driving Saskatoon to Edmonton.)

As far as I can determine, there is no way to tell which bands I am using.I was on JVK, which apparently had no 1900 support (guess?). I found that the latest official Bell (same as Telus network) modem is KC1, so I flashed that.

Does anyone have any experience with a "good" modem for CM7 on Telus, or any way to tell what bands I now have?

Edit: If it's not clear my reason for asking is to try to find out *before* we're in the middle of nowhere with no service ;-)

Edit 2: For posterity, sent from "the middle of nowhere" (aka Mundare) so KC1 is working fine.

ADW Launcher Drawer lag

CM7 is really a great ROM, but I have one problem. While everything runs smooth and fast, the default (ADW) app drawer (both vertical and horizontal paginated) lags when scrolling. I'm running Nightly 24 and glitch kernel. It lagged also in other builds with stock and fugumod kernel. Other launcher such as Launcher Pro runs smoothly.

Anyone else having this issue?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
It is a known, adw specific issue...use adw ex or another launcher for no lag.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3ck4rd:
I would really appreciate some help guys.

I was running CM7 21 but managed to mess it up by attempted to restore back to a previous backup because I was missing BLN amongst other issues.

Now my phone gets into a boot loop when I try to turn it on normally. Also I can't get into CWM by holding the usual 3 buttons, it just gets into a boot loop again.

I can get into download mode but I don't have the required nexus s driver installed on my laptop for odin to be able to see my phone. From what I have read the only way to install the nexus s driver is to have the phone plugged in and to manually install the driver. Thing is I can not turn my phone on to do this!

Im starting to panic abit here!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zatta:

calender

hey.. i have a stupid question (but still)

i cant seem to get the calender to show me week view as default it always start in month view.

any way to make the week view the default one?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbusch:
Out of (selfish) curiousity...is TV-OUT via the headphone jack on the to-do list for CM7?

NOT asking for an ETA.

Just curious if it's on the list to be done 'sometime' or not. It's the one feature I miss from sammy's software. Bought I cheap $5 nokia cable and loved the fact that I could play movies off the phone when traveling and at hotels.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commandozzz:
Hey man, actually, not a stupid question at all, I've had to deal with that too. Its really weird that there isn't something somewhere in the calender settings to choose this type of thing.

Anyway, here's my workaround (it might sound a bit silly, but it worked for me...):

Go into calender (it'll open in month view), then switch to different views in the following order: week, day, month (as long as week is first and only first, doesn't matter what order you do, I think). After changing the view mode three times, press the back button a couple of times until it exits the calender app. If it works, you should see the app closing on the week view and the next time you open it (and future times as well), it should open on week view.

Sounds a bit like voodoo magic, huh? :) Well, it worked for me. Hope it helps you too!

I have tried installing the driver manually without the phone connected like you suggested is possible. I followed this guide on how to install a driver from its .inf file. Did a restart of windows but still Odin doesn't see my phone :(

I don't think that what I did correctly installed the driver. I'm running win7 64bit.

Anymore suggestions would be greatly appreciated
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexForTomorrow:
win7 64 bit has some kind of weird problems with odin...

so you either need to use odin with a 32 bit OS (win xp i.e.)

or just try to use odin 1.3 for the flashing (I suppose you're using 1.7..)

in many fixed that problem like that. ;)

I have a Q myself. With all the nightlies installed on top of each other...does it make sense to do a factory reset (or flash to EZBase+return to CM7) make sense to keep the phone in good shape. Or are all the remnants of a previous nightly removed when installing a new one?

The nightlies clean up pretty well after themselves.

I don;t think there is a need to do a factory reset unless your phone is feeling sluggish for some reason.

On the same subject, does anyone know why there isn't an option to choose a default view in stock calender app? Is it just something that's not coded into the app? I would assume that would be something of a must, considering different people have different preferences and prefer to view their agenda in the view that suits them.

And on the same question, has anyone else found a different (and less "voodoo"ey workaround) to this issue, or are there any other good calender apps with the same functionality as stock, but with a setting for view preference?

Calendar

I'm beginning with android programming, so adding the default view option would be a great chance to practise for me. BTW, do I really need to download the whole cyanogenmod? Because when I "git cloned" android_packages_apps_Calendar repositoriry, eclipse couldn't find Calendar Provider. Is there any way to fake eclipse, that it's present. Or do I need to "git clone" the provider (android_packages_providers_CalendarProvider) and somehow merge it into the calendar (i dont think it's a good idea...as copying code is never)? Also it's a good idea to make it more dark, like the samsung one does.
