if something doesn't work like it should, delete your out folder and recompile.

that will normally do the trick.

if there are minor changes at makefiles, the compiler sometimes doesn't detect these.

I don't get number 1? :confused: I'm using the 109 and i don't get what you mean faded out?

As for 2G/3G switches, i think that's already said there's a bug about that but how it worked on the Samsung ROM and the SGS with CM7 is that when you press the 2G/3G switch it first disabled data then switches 2G/3G then it enabled data again. If you are disabling data then doing that I think that'll prolly screw it up. Then again that's if it's even working since it's is listed as broken.

To report it just get some logs and maybe a screenshot for the ring issue and post it here:

Hi Atinm,

Thank you and your team for bringing us CM, great work!

Having read thru quite a number of posts at XDA, high AOS usage caused the battery life to decreased. Since TV-out is not supported (yet) in CM7.1, is it possible to write off tvout.resume.wo (until native support) from the kernel as it contributed a large amount of cpu usage?

Thanks!

Tried to install Cm7 but encountering a few problems. Essentially a loop problem. After rooting with CF root, I reboot into recovery (through CWM - maybe this is where I go wrong?) and install from sd. I do it twice, I install the zip the first time which goes very quick, and immediately I install it again which takes a bit longer, and when I reboot the phone, it loops at the Samsung screen (before even getting to the cyanogen bootup screen with the circle & arrow). How do I fix this?

I'm still on Nightly #105, having issues with WIFI. Not sure if this is related since the tethering fix but I never had problems with WIFI before.

I'm using two access points, one at home and one at work. WIFI is always on, sleep policy set to never. It used to switch/connect to WIFI network automatically when I came near an access point and switch to data when needed. Most of the times I am at my work location having problems. Now it switches to WIFI but sometimes also not. If it does not, it tries to connecting. Turning WIFI off/on, going to flymode or rebooting the phone doesn't help. It can't connect anymore at work untill I get home. Sometimes even messes up the data connection.

Tried to fix permissions through ROM manager, no luck. Just for information, my install was a clean one, wiped data/cache/etc.

At work I use a Thomson router *unfortunately* and at home a Linksys WRT320N with DD-WRT installed.

Anyone else having such problems? To me it looks like it started after the WIFI tethering fix as I never had problems before.

Yes, you need to do two things:

1) Enable LED Notification support in the kernel via Settings, Device Settings, Notifications

2) Configure the types of notification events you want in Settings, Cyanogenmod Settings, Interface, LED Notifications. Missed calls is enabled by default I think.

Remember - an active LED notification will prevent your phone from going into deep sleep and drain a bit more battery. you can mitigate this by setting a Notification timeout in Settings, Device Settings. The default is 'never'

Yes, LED Notification was added with Nightly #106

The method for disabling HSPA is in the menus. Just go to Settings - Device Settings - HSPA and set it to UMTS only. There are plenty of things in CM, just look around and you'll find nice little options for everything.

EDIT - apparently this only changes the icon but doesn't actually disable HSPA+. Must just be a bug for now.

I have this too, the issue seems to be whenever there is 2 or more wifi networks saved. It only started recently i think after the Wifi firmware thing. If you delete one and try it works perfectly everytime. Add a second and it starts getting "stuck" on Connecting....
