Why would that be a bad idea? You are on the system, and you're just asking for a list of towers, etc.

I *228ed when my phone thought it was on verizon, and it did it (which was a huge help), and it still thought it was on verizon afterward. I don't know why this would be any different.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
First off if your phone is using Verizon as its primary towers you are technically violating your contract as USCC has a clause in there about using the phone 50% of the time outside their service area. I haven't really ever heard of them enforcing this but I would guess if you stay that way consistently they may look into it.

Is anyone else having issues of gapps randomly force closing? It doesn't seem to cause any problems but it jjust pops up when I'm browsing xda saying it closed.

[Samsung Mesmerize] knoxjon:
I don't think that's what I'm saying, although I am but a lowly end-user. I meant having your phone's build.prop file modified. You're still on US Cellular, right? You're still using US Cellular's primary towers (and you can change this easily within cm7). So why not *228?
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
Also, my wifi doesn't work. It just doesn't even turn on, it isn't saying error or anything. It says it is turned on but nothing ever shows up and after about 10 seconds it is off again without me doing anything.

(sorry I'm interrupting you guys)

Sent from my CM7 SCH-i500
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Build.prop doesn't impact the towers, it more or less just tells software what type of phone you are using. (From what I understand anyway, smarter people may advise otherwise). *228 can and will impact the tower use though. I don't know why *228 is bad on AOSP but it's been mentioned before so I will have to go with those that know.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
I haven't had any of the issues you are seeing. Wifi works perfectly fine and I have had zero FC's on anything.
[Samsung Mesmerize] v_lestat:
*228 isnt going to physically kill your phone. all its doing is updaing your list of towers.

just do it. if it messes up then reflash cyanogen and start over.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
With our first AOSP builds if you did a *228 it would take you completely off the network and the only way to get back on was to dial 911. I don't think this is the case with the new builds but it's worth noting (and why others are stating not to do so)

so you do it at your own risk people, please report back. I haven't had a need to update PRL as my signal is as it always has been, no matter what ROM i'm on....
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Reflashing cyanogen won't clear your PRL. Doing a complete Odin restore won't even clear your PRL. Not saying *228 will break anything just saying that if it would reflashing CM or anything else for that matter wouldn't change the PRL.
[Samsung Mesmerize] knoxjon:
The computer lady on the other end of the line said the programming was successful, but the message on the screen said it failed. I had to go in and out of airplane mode to get my signal back, but it works fine now. Not sure what to make of that.
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Question. If doing *228 on CM7 has the possibiltiy of putting you on Verizons Network due to the fascinate files and such. Wouldn't doing *228 on the stock EE19 put you back on USCC Network? Only reason I ask is curiousity. :)

Tap-a-Talked from my Mesmerize
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Did your PRL change?
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
I believe the only way to make it put you on VZW is if you were roaming and on Verizon's towers. I don't believe the ROM has anything to do with that part.
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Cool deal. Let me know if I can do anything else for ya.

ok, now i run into another issue, i am trying to flash it to cricket. well first of all i need to put in dial up networking mode so i can detect it in QPST but none of the codes are working on this rom to put it in dial up networking mode, do you know of any other way to get it detected on QPST?
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
On that one I'm lost. I've never had to make a phone work on another providers network and never had to use anything like what you mentioned. So as far as that one goes nopie. Sorry man. I wish I did.

Just a thought. You may try searching the Cyanogen forums to see if there's a way to get into whatever part.of the phone you need to make it work.

No Internet...

Ok, so here's what I've done so far, and had no success getting my 3G data to work. I was starting from one of the recent PnP ROMs.

1) Flash back to stock EE19 via Odin

1b) Do the ADW Launcher data debug menu thingy

2) Flash in CWM 2.x via Odin

3) Use red CWM to do bootstrap install of CM7 7/21 build

4) Install GAPPS bundle via new blue CWM

Also tried playing with MCC/MNC in build.prop, doing a *228 (which says on the voice it succeeded, and failed on the screen).

Also did the MMS APN thing.

Still no luck - the 3G logo will flick up on the screen for a few seconds, but the up/down arrows won't illuminate, and I can't get anywhere online.

[Samsung Mesmerize] bdjohns1:
Was already on auto - I'd made that switch earlier.

Any possibility of having a bad radio ROM somewhere along the way that's not compatible with CM7? I just downloaded DI14 so I've got the option of going all the way back to an out-of-the-box configuration as a starting point.
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Its very possible. At this point I would take it back to stock and then redownload the cm7 file to make sure its not.corrupt and flash back up the ladder. Checking it along the way to see when you loose data and such. That's the only thing I can really think to do.

Tap-a-Talked from my Mesmerize

CM7 @ 1.2ghz w/ Tk-Glitch ML Kernel
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdjohns1:
That didn't do the trick either. I went all the way back to DI14, verified proper data connectivity, loaded the light-blue CWM fixed for CM7, loaded the CM7 zip, and nada. It looks like it's trying to connect to 3G, but failing every time.
[Samsung Mesmerize] sdhotwn:
Not sure where you guys are tracking issues.. but here is what I have so far:

1) In-Call volume is quiet compared to stock, even fully turned up

2) Seems to get a memory leak situation that bogs the phone down. Using App Killer seems to help, or reboots for sure resolve it. But can't trace it down. Running same app suite I had when stock and didn't see this type of issue.

3) Battery life is pretty horrific. I have bluetooth left on

4) Auto brightness does not work at all

5) The bug mentioned earlier about the screen not coming back when pulled from your ear in call is still there, power key brings it up fine though.

6) streaming music over bluetooth seems to work fine, but is unstable on initiating with rhapsody app. Works great sometimes, works terrible other times. May be app specific though.

I think that is the major stuff for now. Thanks! Overall looks and runs pretty well and is passable for daily driver other than the battery issue.
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Most of the mentioned issues are known about. The battery one though. Depends on the user but I get pretty decent battery life. Are you running the kernel that came with the ROM or a different one. I use the Tk-Glitch ML kernel and it runs smooth. As for the memory leaks. I don't use a task killer at this time for my own personal testing and haven't noticed any type of difference. But yours may be different.

Tap-a-Talked from my Mesmerize

CM7 @ 1.2ghz w/ Tk-Glitch ML Kernel
[Samsung Mesmerize] sdhotwn:
I'm using the kernel that came with it. I used to be able to go about 40 hours on a charge... this one with almost no use was dead in 12. I leave bluetooth on all the time, but wi-fi off. No GPS on either. I have most email set to intervals over an hour etc. So not sure what could cause that much of a change!
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
I would first try a different kernel like the glitch kernel. Its in the fascinate dev forums. That will allow you to undervolt to save some battery. You can pick up some suggested settings in that thread or in the fascinate general forum. That will help with.performance and battery depending on which settings you go with. As for rapid discharging of the battery. It could need calibrated. Or you could have a rogue app draining it. I would try the kernel. Calibrate the battery. And use a system montior app.like system panel or something like it to monitor the phone for a day or so then look to see if any one particular app is using more power then it should be. That's normally how I track down battery issue minus the kernel flash as I'm on the glitch kernel for now.

Haven't seen this topic yet...

What temp are your batteries at?

I am curious what the optimal range is...
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Who cares? If it's running too hot your phone won't work right and you would already know it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Plus. I don't think that temp the phone says is the actual battery temp. A while back mine got to around 117F so I pulled the cover off and the battery was barely warm. The area right above the battery was hot though. So I think what it is calling a battery temp may be a sensor between the cpu and battery. Just my 2cents. Also from what I have found. If it gets too hot. It is supposed to shut itself off. Don't know if it will or not.

Tap-a-Talked from my Mesmerize

CM7 @ 1.2ghz w/ Tk-Glitch ML Kernel
[Samsung Mesmerize] mbrulla:
Yeah, I looked at it as a "don't need to know, but wouldn't mind knowing" kind of thing.

I just was curious after a buddy of mine told me he had to send his Evo in because it was overheating.

Mine's been hovering between 24 and 40C (can't change the UOM using this widget yet).

I figured it was something in the phone itself, since in order to read battery temp it would require some way of measuring the temp internally and then relaying that information out of the battery to the phone.
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Yeah. I thing critical is like 120-130ish. I can't say for sure. I will say I've had mine hot as hell and I didn't see anything other than a little lag in performance. Someone else made a comment in another thread that he had left his on the dash of his truck in the sun all day and it didn't seem to have any effect. Don't know if that's the case or not but I wouldn't worry about temp too much. I used too but have found that even what I thought was too hot seems to have no effect of the phone itself.

CM7 @ 1.2ghz w/ Tk-Glitch ML Kernel
[Samsung Mesmerize] mbrulla:
Yeah, I heard about the truck dash thing...

I freak when I leave it in my car even for a bit. I'm pretty careful with my phone, though.

Sometimes worry when it gets really hot (after charging/running heavy data/battery drainers...) but nothing's ever happened.
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Yeah me too. I mean its only what, a 600$ piece of electronic goodness. Might as well take care of it. Plus I don't put mine down long enough foranything to happen to it :)

Hey, are you able to get to 1400ghz on any glitch kernel?

I can get 1300 to run just fine on low and medium...but I crash on 1400 on all kernels now.
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Yeah. On the ML I can get to 1600 without is locking up. I can run 1300 and 1400 no prob.

UV'd or straight?

I lock on 1400 on every glitch...which kinda sucks. 1300 is crystal clear.
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
As for anything over 1300 there's no undervolting. 1300 is -25. 1200 and 1000 is -50 and the rest is -75. But from 1400 up. No undervolting at all.

I didn't UV at all, but I know a lot of the posts talk about UV'ing if you encounter issues at higher OCs.
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Honestly I didn't even try undervolting at the higher levels. It seemed to run fine for me so I just left it alone.

[Samsung Mesmerize] mesmerbelly:
Can someone tell me what kernels are compatible with cm7
[Samsung Mesmerize] poonjahb:
Hmmm, I was looking at the changelogs for the fascinatemtd and noticed some changes in there for adding mesmerizemtd and showcasemtd (Full-9) as well as a change in the last nightly to add a USCC APN (Full-13). Will the Mes get it's own nightly builds, or are we supposed to just run the Fascinate builds? Not too sure how the whole thing works with CM7 on these Sammy phones since the hardware is almost identical between the CDMA carriers.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
We will have our own. There are slight differences in the software.
[Samsung Mesmerize] poonjahb:
Anyone have an idea of how long it usually takes between merge and build-bot setup? Just curious as I saw the merge was done last Thursday.

On another note, I just saw on the IRC that dfgas may have the roaming issues fixed. Nothing released yet, but hopefully soon.

It took a while for the Fascinate. It will happen.

According to his twitter feed the roaming fix broke sms so there's still work to do.

[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Seems fine to me. I can hear the other party and they can hear me just fine. The only volume issue I have is ringer volume could be louder but that's it. One thing I have found though on data. Most of the time it dies out if I switch between wifi and 3G too quickly. If I turn off wifi then turn 3G on right away. Then I have trouble. But if I wait four or five seconds then it comes in just fine
[Samsung Mesmerize] mesmerbelly:
I can't hear the other person hardly at all and I haven't used any wifi so no switching, but hey I have cm7 on my mez when I first got this there wasn't even a clockwork recovery lmao we came along way quick I'd say
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Absolutely. Are you using voodoo control app. I found unchecking hifi record and playing with the sound settings helped alot with the volume issue. Also are you using JTs latest kernel. Its in ROM manager
[Samsung Mesmerize] knoxjon:
For the losing data issue, I've been running connection checker from the market. It will restart your connection when it dies, but I've found that with it checking every five minutes it somehow keeps the connection alive most of the time without having to restart it. I was seconds from ditching cm before I discovered this fix, because my data was going out well over half of the time.

As for in call volume, mine is frustratingly low, and the phone is practically unusable in the car, etc, when there is a lot of background noise.
[Samsung Mesmerize] knoxjon:
Also, I've essentially stopped using wifi on my phone. Unless I am within feet of the router, I lose the connection. Thank goodness 3g is good in my area.
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
I think its only fair to add that I'm using JTs vanilla build from ROM manager. It had alot of the issues worked out that CM has. That is probably why I'm not having the in call volume issue and such. May try using JTs latest kernel. From my understanding it is supposed to fix a few issues. May also try the vanilla build as well. It has some nice options and is really smooth. At least until cm7 goes into nighlies
[Samsung Mesmerize] knoxjon:
Wait, what? I thought we couldn't use rom manager with these builds. Can you point to a how to on what you're talking about? And what vanilla build are you talking about? I thought cm7 in this thread would essentially be vanilla (ie generic cm7 that looks the same regardless of phone).
