Ok back on CM7 for the 4th time...lol. I'm on the 106 nightly. However there are problems with CM7 that have never been fixed. Just wondering who has these same problems. BTW when I do any install I do it the hard way, complete wipes of everything back to ED05 then starting over.

1. When you get a call on CM7 when the screen pops up its unresponsive, you have to quick turn off the screen with the power button then turn it back on.

2. Data dropouts!! I'm toggling airplane mode dozens of times a day, sometimes it just never comes back then I have to restart the phone then toggle airplane mode again.

3. CM7 runs good for about a week, then it crashes hard. I heard it was a problem with the data/data folder so I moved all my apps to the SD card. Didn't work I still had to do a complete reinstall yesterday.

All these problem were in CM7 back when I first tried it (when the nightlies started) . Does everyone else have these issues? I love CMy its why I keep coming back lol

Sounds like every ROM i've ever been on. Yesterday I had the sleep of death while I was out of town. I was in the bay area where freeways are running everywhere trying to get to my destination on a deadline. After a battery pull and running Navigation again all while driving mind you- I was greeted with non-stop FC's to the Navigation app. Or it just wouldn't load all the way. So I'm frantically shooting into Recovery to wipes caches and fix permissions because I need that GPS like 5min ago. Get back up and running and same thing. So I ended up clearing data on the Maps app and uninstalling. Re-download from the market and it starts working then. I had to backtrack a bit and almost missed a deadline.

And problems like this go on every single day of my life with this phone. Im so miserable... May can't come fast enough.

I don't think this device has enough memory to be worthwhile.
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
For me, most of the data connection issues cleared up with nightly 110 (and 111). That, and I've stopped using wifi.

But honestly, it's been known* for a long time that Samsung really jacked up how the phone handles the modem connection, so I'm guessing it will always have some issues.

*highly speculated with some evidence

Force closes never really occur on my setup, so you might want to look into that. It is not the norm, and is probably a permissions issue as a result of a botched install or restoring from old data.
[Fascinate Android Development] abowlofsoda:
I never had force closures before NIGHTLY 110. Must be a botched install because I didn't even use titanium this time to restore anything. I decided to just get everything from the market and be as clean as possible.

I'll be trying 111 tonight or tommorow. I'm actually looking at getting a external GPS unit for the car because I can't be worrying about this anymore.
[Fascinate Android Development] qw3rty3:
Thank you Joshkoss and badogg. I tried the stable 7.1 and gps doesn't work, also tried a few of the most recent nightlies. With gps status, the phone doesn't see a single satellite. I read that gps works in nightly 98.

If I can't get gps to work I have to go back to the stock verizon rom.
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
gps works great if you use glitch v13rc from market or jt's latest 3fingerfix kernel. i think the 10/15 kenel has the gps fixes aswell.
[Fascinate Android Development] azpirin1:
I wish I knew that before. Thanks. Whole time,I have been pulling battery off to reboot. But I wish the problem is solved so I never have to reboot.

Currently on build 111
[Fascinate Android Development] azpirin1:

[Fascinate Android Development] qw3rty3:
The gps still didnt work on nightly 98.

I paid $5 for the glitch kernel from the market, tried multiple glitch kernels... gps never worked.

Then I tried MIUI and the first time I opened maps the gps found my exact location. But then after restarting the phone and trying again gps wasn't working.

I'm going to try erasing, and installing MIUI again, to see if gps works at the first miui startup. If it does it might help me narrow down my gps problem.

[Fascinate Android Development] sfobrien:
Flashed it earlier today. So far so good. Don't see alot of difference between it and ED05 though.
[Fascinate Android Development] dr_w:
I'm testing the eh03 on top of nightly 111 and i don't really notice a difference. It works but nothing to scream about.
[Fascinate Android Development] Syndacate:
How's the GPS on EH03?

GPS seems to be the main concern, that and whether people can hear you well when there's background noise (ie. on the highway, that was a major problem with OEM SW after Froyo upgrade).

[Fascinate Android Development] danielkx:
Probably a silly question but is there some sort of anticipated release for the next stable release? I know the answer is probably no but doesn't hurt to ask.

I am currently on 7/17 and liking it, can't wait for some of the kinks to be worked out though.

Didn't you read the OP, DON'T ASK FOR ETAS.

I asked in a respectable manner showing within the post that I understand that the answer is probably no, I was just curious if anyone had any knowledge regarding releases beyond what is in this thread. In my post I was not demanding nor was I showing disrespect or a lack of appreciation, just simple curiosity without being pushy.

How many stable builds are there? 7/17 & 7/26? I thought there was a 7/25 as well that was posted to someones twitter that fixed MMS. OR the dates could be wrong

and there are just two good builds. Also do we have/know EXACTLY what is still broken. I was very happy with the 7/17 build except for a sleep of death instance.

EDIT. Just to clarify i know that in call audio and mms have been an issues with the builds but is there anything else that is broken, we can then potentially summarize in one post that can be updated as it is fixed or referred too.
[Fascinate Android Development] spearoid:
I've been flashing and risking the lives of my phones for a few years now, but I just recently tinkered with custom boot animations. I realize this is probably not that risky a thing to do, but just before going to CM7 I had installed a custom boot animation that mimicked the old Award BIOS of a PC (love it btw).

Found a bunch to choose from here actually

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1053250

I just tried to install this from CWM and it didn't seem to have any effect on the CM7 standard robot boot animation.

so, two questions, should I try to remove whatever was flashed just now? is there a procedure for making these boot animations work on CM7?

Can I just add a quote from the OP...

"Warning : Not for new users, flash this build only if you know what you are doing!!!"
[Fascinate Android Development] Shinebox:
Jt said there are not going to be fixes of hardware/software between updates. The CM code is what keeps getting updated in the nightly builds. There is no reason to use the nightly build as an everyday drivee over the 7/18 build unless you're testing it out. As of now the nightly builds don't display signal and MMS does not work. But...its 2.3.5.

This is why threads become such a jumbled mess and it is difficult to find answers to questions. I posted a legitimate question about boot animations in GB...the next two posts were wastes of space about reading the OP thoroughly, blah, blah, blah....4 posts later my question is now buried and I am still wondering if there is any major danger or risk to screwing around with boot animations with this ROM.

Here's a useful tip....people, FOR THE REST OF TIME, are going to post questions in threads that have already been answered somewhere, somehow.....so stop cluttering these threads with "smart" responses. If the answer truly was in the OP, then simply say, the answer was in the OP...and whoever get's the chance to make that impressive post first should be the ONLY one to do so....we don't need three more people making additional comments about reading the OP.

The bad ETA question was asked, one response would have sufficed, then we can move on to the next potentially legitimate question....we don't need to read more posts about how bad a question that was.
[Fascinate Android Development] ecsnead69:
Look to see if there is a bootanimation.zip in /data/local... the phone will look there first... if there is just delete it and yours should work

[Fascinate Android Development] wideopn11:
Took me 2 seconds to find your other buried post, and in all fairness questions about changing boot animations belong in Theme section or Q&A. There is no danger of screwing around with boot animations.
[Fascinate Android Development] spearoid:
Thanks...there was no bootanimation.zip file there, but that file was present in the system/media folder....I deleted it there....then flashed the animation file and this time the skating CM7 animation was gone....but only an android title displayed until my home screen appeared....makes me think it isn't seeing what I flashed, but is defaulting to some last-resort animation

at least something changed this time....hmmm
[Fascinate Android Development] shorto85:
Did you read the OP?
[Fascinate Android Development] M00NEY:
For your boot animation, try extracting the zip from the package and just drop it into system/media/.

The flash was for a different file system, so it won't do the trick, but the file it's fine to use.

... .-- -.- .--. . .----. -..
[Fascinate Android Development] spearoid:
The part where you said "there is no danger" would be the part that is useful.

Do you think if I was in the Theme section I would find a comment where someone says "there is no danger installing boot animations on the new CM7 nightlies" ?

And congrats on finding my buried post in 2 seconds. It was one page back. Unless you're on dial-up that sounds about par for the course.

Now take the issue I was complaining about and multiply it by 40 in a thread that's 200 pages long and see how quickly you find people's unanswered questions.

Started to run into issues with 110.

First the launcher FC'ed, I rebooted the phone into recovery, ran the kernel clean script, rebooted, got a boot-loop. Did a hard reboot (up+power), it booted, then rebooted into recovery again, ran the kernel clean script, then rebooted back into normal.

After this, I lost most preference data - my settings and apps are all fine, but I lost stuff such as my saved alarm clocks and my gmail account. Also had to run first-run setup when it started before I could use it. App data, such as high scores in games, is fine, on the other hand.

Now the only residue I'm experiencing is I can't open the market, it force closes when I do, I can't clear its cache, but a reboot did not fix it.

Perhaps too much stuff was changed in 110 and I couldn't get away without wiping everything? I'm not sure, but I'm actually (in no way connected to this loss of stability) taking a (possibly short, possibly long) break from CM7 to try something else.

I would suggest people installing the 110 or greater nightly to do a factory reset prior to doing so. There was a huge changelist in 110, and prior I've had nothing but complete stability.
[Fascinate Android Development] Syndacate:
In case anybody cares for a logcat:

http://pastebin.com/yCELmw6e

line 113

Issue:

is_public_api boolean value is NULL (probably uninitialized).

Reproduction (with market data cleared and market app stopped):

- Go to any application (I used Pandora Radio)

- Hit "download"

- Market FC's on "Accept and Install"

After issue, market will attempt to verify value on startup and FC with the same error trace.

Issue since nightly 110.
[Fascinate Android Development] dr_w:
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with issues. When 113 comes out, I'll load it and report back.

GPS....I've never really had a working GSP. Eho3/edo5 give me the same results. Sucks not having a working gps.
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
Im on nightly 112 and everything is working great...gps is still working flawless w/ glitch v13.
[Fascinate Android Development] froalskiner:
I was having all sorts of issues with CM7 before a week ago. I did factory resets, reloaded CM7 stable, wiped caches, ran the clean kernel script, etc... Nothing would get me out of the FC's on just about everything. That is until I tried stable, then in the Google account set up, I chose not to restore settings. Ever since then I have been stable. In fact, going from stable to build 111 without wiping or clearing anything has given me nothing but perfection. If you do a factory reset, try letting it backup your settings in the Google setup, but don't restore your previous settings. I don't know if it will work, but it worked for me.
[Fascinate Android Development] dr_w:
Thanks for the advice, I'll give it a go.
[Fascinate Android Development] hazard666:

Hey guys!

I jut bought a Fascinate and flashed the latest CM7 nightly with the knowledge I have coming from my Droid X. I am not up to speed on everything yet, but I am reading as much as I can.

That being said, I was wondering if an issue I am having is a problem with the ROM or my phone. When charging the phone, the battery level will reach 98% with the screen off, but the screen needs to be on for the level to reach 100%

My buddy who has a Captivate running CM7 nightlies as well has the same issue. Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks in advance!

I don't know how to fix this, but I've noticed it will go to 100% using the wall charger w/ screen off, but car chargers only go to 98%. It's been that way for me as long as I can remember.

~~~~There is no spoon~~~~
[Fascinate Android Development] Jazz848:
How about when charging with the unit shut down? Does it reach 100% in that state / does it carry over upon reboot? Also, are you charging via USB by any chance? Some USB ports simply don't deliver enough current and can have trouble "keeping up" if, say, the brightness is set to 100%...
[Fascinate Android Development] Tone_Capone:
I have charged the unit while shut down to full but after rebooting the phone will show a 97% or 98% charge. I have this issue in both usb and on a wall charger.

Its the weirdest thing.
[Fascinate Android Development] Syndacate:
Anybody else seeing issues with the market? Ever since 110 I got FC's when clicking "Download" on an app in the market. Also can't update b/c I get the same FC. I posted a link to the logcat:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19520512&postcount=1186

Can somebody just go to the market and try downloading something and lmk if the market FC's when it's just about to start dl'ing? (build 110+)
[Fascinate Android Development] Tone_Capone:
I havent had a few issues with the market FC'ing, but nothing that specific.

I would try fixing permissions in Rom Manager, and If that doesnt work, try clearing the market's data and cache. Also make sure your market is the latest version
[Fascinate Android Development] joshkoss:
i have had no issues with market FC'ing either. but i always clear data each time i flash..
[Fascinate Android Development] Syndacate:
Yeah, I could do that. Though I upgrade as frequently as possible. It's really a pain to do settings each time and re-download apps.

How do I even update the market? I've tried clearing the data/cache before. That makes it crash when I go to download opposed to when it first opens up (same error).

I installed the market (I think) using gapps 2.3.5 - 7/25/2011. If there was a newer version of gapps, could I just install *just* the market (by using the check boxes you get on start-up after installing gapps) from it? I'd prefer to update gmaps, gmail, etc., form the market itself. Can I just install it right over the version in there? Or do I have to uninstall the market?

EDIT:

I took a stab at it just now...figured it's not actually working, so worst I can do is make it not work more O.o.

I put gapps 8/28/2011 on there, then went into manage applications, stopped the market, cleared its data, and hit "uninstall updates" where "uninstall" usually is.

I then rebooted into recovery, ran the kernel cleaning script (cleans caches and such), and installed gapps 8/28/11

When I booted back up, I had Market v3.3.11 back as a "downloaded" app, and it worked. Other google apps such as Google maps and gmail also appear to work fine.
[Fascinate Android Development] dividebyzero:
I'd reflash the same or newer gapps. Also if you go to settings/applications/all and scroll down to market then click on it and select clear cache , that fixes it for me when that happened.

I'm using the August gapps I think with no problem. No duplicate entries either.

This sounds like the datadata issue. Just find a thread on that. What I did was move a bunch of games mostly to sd and I no longer have that issue.

You're basically ruining out of space in the datadata directory and you need to use one of the fixes, delete apps or clear cache a lot.

Hope that helps
