[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minazaki:
I'll preface with this:

1. I am not a dev.

2. I don't intend to take credit away from any of the CM7 devs.

3. I don't intend to take credit for any of the solutions posted here.

I like to keep up with the main thread, but it has become a little unruly, with the same questions being asked and answered repeatedly. I was thinking we could keep this thread as something of a troubleshooting thread, with known problems and solutions in the OP, in an attempt to keep the main CM7 thread (here) a bit more organized for dev related stuff.

Mods, if this thread is in the wrong forum or inappropriate, feel free to deal with it accordingly.

OK:

----------

CM7 for Thunderbolt

Current Version: RC1.4 (MR2/2.5 Radio Only)

Merged to Mainline: No

Wipe Required: No if upgrading from RC1.2 or RC1.3 (although if you are having ANY problems, first troubleshooting step is to reinstall following a complete wipe). Yes if you are coming from ANY OTHER PREVIOUS VERSION OR ROM

Problems With Known Fixes

Problem:

I just installed CM7, where is the Market?!

Solution:

Not a problem, you just have to install gapps.

- Easiest way is to download and install through ROM Manager: Rom Manager -> Download ROM -> Google Apps.

- Alternatively, you can download and install manually. Link. Flash using Recovery.

Problem:

GPS is not getting a fix

Solution:

1. Be sure that you are on RC1.2, and that you did a full wipe prior to installing.

2. Backup CM7 in Clockwork Recovery.

3. Do a full wipe.

4. Flash a Sense based ROM, such as BAMF.

5. Boot into the Sense based ROM that you flashed in Step 4, and obtain a GPS fix.

6. While your GPS is locked, reboot to recovery. (Hold Power -> Reboot to Recovery)

7. Do a full wipe.

8. Restore the CM7 backup you made in step 1.

9. Boot into CM7. Your GPS should now be working.

Problem:

Inaccurate signal bars/I only have two bars on LTE

Solution:

FIXED ON RC1.3

Problem:

Non-GPS geolocation is (very) inaccurate

Solution:

Problem:

Choppy Netflix playback

Solution:

Netflix now has official Thunderbolt support. Install the updated Netflix App from the Market.

Problem:

Unlock lag and/or no backlit softkeys

Solution:

Turn off auto brightness, should take care of both of these issues. (thanks to Mustang302LX)

Problems With Fixes of Questionable Effectiveness

Problem:

Problems with in-browser flash

Solution:

chmod 000 /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data

Varying reports of this working/not working

Problem:

Low volume

Solution:

Since perception of volume is subjective, it's difficult to say whether or not this is a true problem, and whether or not it's been fixed. Slayher has stated that it's been fixed since one of the earlier releases. Another possible solution is here (credit to utkanos), which has been used with varying results - again, volume perception is subjective.

Problem:

Included wireless tethering not working

Solution:

From what I've seen, you will be able to connect to the wireless network, but you will not be able to obtain an IP address. I have found that forcing an IP release/renew upon connecting generally takes care of this problem. On Windows, this can be done with the following:

1. Start -> Run -> "cmd"

2. ipconfig /release

3. ipconfig /renew

Problems Without Known Fixes

Problem:

Streaming audio over bluetooth is choppy

----------

OK, post problems (and fixes, if there are any) and I'll do my best to keep the OP updated in an attempt to keep the main dev thread more organized. When posting an issue, please include:

CM7 version
