[Focus General] myphonerules:
Hi all

I have a few questions to ask first I must though give the history of the device:

1. Phone was given to a bunch of us at Teched 2011 Atlanta by AT&T - they second hand rep and employee phones.

2. The phone worked well used AT&T and othe USA SIM cards - so this isn't a "Demo" phone.

3. I had to network unlock the phone with wwwfastgsmcom as I needed to use the phone outside USA. This worked and I have been able to use the phone in different countries.

4. I did the Cheveron NoDo update on the phone and subsequently upgraded to Mango Beta with NO problems what so ever.

Thank you guys for the help!!!

5. I upgraded to "Mango RTM".

6. Recently through Zune I received the "Pre release Mango cleanup" update. This ran on my phone. I haven't received anything ever since.

7. I have an ORIGINAL PAID FOR developer account so the phone is fully dev unlocked.

Phone details

Current versions (Settings: About"

Software Windows Phone 7.5

OS Version: 7.10.7720.68

Firmware revision number: 2102.10.9.5

Hardware revision number: 3.1.0.3

Radio software version: 2103.10.9.5

Bootloader version: 4.9.2.4

Chip SOC version: 0.36.2.0

Now through the diag mode I checked hardware version. INTERESTING part its says:

HW REV:1.0

No 1.3 or 1.4 just 1.0.....

So some questions and hopefully help:

1. My back button is a nightmare. All the way up to the Mango release that enabled multi tasking the back button works PERFECTLY. After the Mango update with multi tasking the phone has become irritating. Depending on which application and or menu I am in if I press the BACK button it either goes to multi tasking (no holding back just simply pressing it) or it goes back as its suppose to.

Sometimes even if I press softly or to the left or right of the back button it never goes back just keeps throwing me back INTO the multi tasking menu.

With APPS its a nightmare it always goes into multi tasking and not back. This throws the app into "resuming" if it is not a multi task written app. i.e. WhatsApp is almost impossible to use.

In certain menus it works well goes back as I need it to, in other menus like say contacts... it goes into multi task mode when I press back.

I do have a Zagg protector on the phone.

Question 2:

2. I see that my Firmware, Radio, Bootloader basically all those are completely out of date! This could be why the wierd behaviour?

2.1 I can't find a MANGO rom out there with the updated Firmware, Radio, Bootloader - is there one that I can use please? Provide some sort of link or point me in the right direction.

2.2 Do the ROM's relock the phone, just so I know to go back and unlock the phone :)

Hello i am currently on CM 7.03 and am wanting to change to CM 7.1.0.

Is there any way of updating the software without flashing the new ROM?

Also to update by flashing the new ROM do i just have to wipe cache and reset factory settings then run the zip from CWM?

Thank you for your time.
[Desire General] andQlimax:
u only need to wipe cache and dalvik cache (only to be sure) and flash the update..thats all

no factory reset or other wipes are needed
[Desire General] Spezz Monkey:
So am i right in thinking that too change between ROMS thats all that you have to do? (obviously having made a nand backup)
[Desire General] andQlimax:
yes and u will not lost any setting
[Desire General] Spezz Monkey:
Ah that's good. I will still do a back up of all my messages and contacts regardless.

I thought i would lose everything again, considering that the first time that i flashed a ROM i came from stock and rooted with Revolutionary.
[Desire General] andQlimax:
you lose everything when u do a factory reset/wipe user data from the recovery

the factory reset/wipe user data is necessary when u change the rom (like going from a sense rom to cm7)

but when u just upgrading (cm7.0.3 to cm7.1) u dont have to factory reset/wipe user data..only wipe cache and dalvik

btw always do a nandroid backup before upgrading
[Desire General] Dataflashsabot:
NAND backup, flash the rom, flash the gapps. You might want to clear cache and dalvik-cache too. It shouldn't be necessary to wipe your data.
[Desire General] BlackMiracle:
and what if I also want to flash a new hboot and don't want to lose all my data? can I first update to 7.1 (from 7.0) then do another nandroid backup then flash a new hboot (which require wiping everything, I understand) then restore from nandroid backup? Is that possible or there is another easier way to do it? thanks :)
[Desire General] itachi1706:
That should be possible if you are flashing the CM7 hboot and have not modified any system files as the partitions should still fit after the hboot update. However I recommend you do some more research or back up your data with titanium backup (in case it fails).
[Desire General] BlackMiracle:
nice! thanks!:)
[Desire General] Spezz Monkey:
Installed CM 7.1.0 by just wiping the cache and dalvik and it all worked perfectly.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Skyjouby:
Since I updated from WM6.5 to WP7 (Back to the future Mango and now with the officiel clean update), I cannot charge my phone by the connector (which I cleaned it).

Luckily, I have an external charger and 2 batteries to rotate full and empty but my problem stay remane for a month.

To explain what happen with the mobile, when I connect the charger to the mobile, this one has its screen which powers on, that shows the connection is detected.

The battery icon is changing for the one displaying the state of "in charge", the led becomes alternatively orange and green, but nothing is charged.

It is the same problem with the usb cable when I plug it to computer. Everything is operating (Zune, CabSender, ...) except the charge.

Shall I modify a set in registry, is there a way to solve it?

Kind regards,

Cyril
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] chabun:
I have also excperienced this issue (tought not recently), but one or two reboots always solved it...

A possible reason why I haven't got it recently is maybe the ISV Cleanup Update 'cuz that's the only change I made to my HD2. What's also nice 'bout the ISV Cleanup is that it lowered the standby drainage from 7mAh to 5:D (after camera trick)...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Skyjouby:
reboot or hardreset?

Because I switch OFF the mobile everynight and the problem is still here after a month of use :(
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] SamStone:
I had the same problem a couple of months ago. It turned out that while I was blaming the software, the middle pin that contacts the battery in the phone was bent a little and wasn't making contact. After I applied some pressure and bent it back straight with the other two it started charging just fine. I don't know if your phone has the same problem but you might take a look.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Skyjouby:
I think you solve my problem, two or three days ago, I saw the middle pin in opposition of the others one I beleive it was normal. Yetsreday morning, I tried to bent it as the others and yesterday afternon, when I tried to charge the mobile directly from the car (I was driving), after a moment, the battery came from 0% to 5%.

Hi all,

One of my WP7 phones is a Samsung Omnia (others are Focus and HD7). I recently got the Zune phone update to Mango from NoDo.

I love Mango but the only problem is that it seems that my SEARCH hard button is incorrectly wired.....

When I press it, it opens IE and tries to connect to a link (can't post the link as the forum does not allow new users to post links (need to post 8 posts first)).

Has anyone experianced this, any fixes?

I appreciate the help!

Hi all, I use ChompSMS for my messaging, and was wondering if I could use titanium backup to remove the stock messaging app safely? Would I still retain MMS, etc?

If not, is there any way to hide it in the default SE UI? Some app/tool?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinkster:
Think chomp is standalone, so I would day yes, you can uninstall/freeze it.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soldiers33:
no chomp doesnmt offer sms or mms replacement. If you remove stock you wont recieve any texts. You can use handcent though and remove stock that will work fine thats what I got.

Thanks everyone. I tried GoSMS, but I really don't like their handling of blacklisted threads. I've been using Chomp for a long time so it's what I'm used to I guess. ;)

I'll try freezing/uninstalling and see if things go haywire. I'll update the thread. :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knightsofwar210:
I am looking to create a theme for a particular show that many of the fans have been asking for. I have used many ROMs in the past but I've always liked CM better than all the others (Been with them since V1). I know not everyone uses CM. So my question is how do I create a theme that is universal? Universal as in can be used on all Android devices, whether it's stock, rooted, or has a custom ROM installed. Thank you!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knightsofwar210:
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Please?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
You can only theme certain aspects for every rom, including unrooted users. You'd have to make a zip with icons, dock, and wallpaper and let the users theme it themselves. Or you could make a theme for a launcher, like ADW. You can't change the systemui or framework that way. Best bet would be to make a theme for CM7, that's the best way to reach the largest number of people. You can make the icons and such available for others, and allow someone to port it to their rom if wanted.

You're not going to reach everyone since roms and phones vary so widely.

after the gingerbread official release.. thought 720p or at least 480p recording would be smooth but it's not! at 480p on my class 10 card, it freezes frequently and audio is out of sync...

my question: is there a rom now after all this time that can do proper 480p(hq) recording at least? haven't followed the roms for months now so i don't know... thought cm7 said they would add 720p to desire when the official gingerbread is out.. is there 720p on cm7 now? there no changelog whatesoever on its site...

can't find 720p recording... will it be present?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
720p won't be included as far as I know in AOSP ROMs due to driver related issues.

480p is fine in all AOSP and in Sense based custom ROMs is somewhat better.

720p is only available in Sense-based ROMs, but it is still buggy, just as you described.

720p recording

I've tested more than 20 ginger roms. All of them cannot record smoothly at 720p. I think that froyo roms produce better 720p recordings. Now I'm using latest Starburst rom (froyo) and I'm quite happy , 720p recording is satisfactory and speed is better than ever (quadrant gives more than 1950 points!)

[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
GAPPS = google apps? Can't you just install them from the Market? Search for google and they all come up.

Am I missing something?
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
cm can't include the market, so it's in the supplemental gapps zip.
[Vibrant General] geoffcorey:
For cm roms, they don't come with market, and to do that, you need market.

Gapps installs market + some framework support stuff for gapps.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
same answer as above, but for those not aware, couple years ago Cyanogen (Steve) got a C&D order from Google. Apparently CM was becoming way too popular, so they asked he stop per XYZ... he found out he could get away with not including google apps/market and everything was kosher... so, hence the gapps.zip.

I do NOT find it fare everyone else can get away with it, but I guess a C&D order to the community is pretty bad... wonder if the person who thought doing this to Steve was a good idea is still employed.
[Vibrant General] Jasonhunterx:
Whats wrong with google an there suppose open source to open source so y do they not want it in cm that just dumb
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
android is open source, the google apps are not.

however, google is obviously willing to work with developers since they came to the agreement (and thus dropped the cease and desist) with cm that they could offer gapps as a download, just not as a packaged part of cm.

Wow the battery life on this is just awful. I love this system so many custom settings... I want to keep it so bad... but 5-10 hours on a battery is unacceptable. The Stock JVS Rom EB put up gets 19-22 hours of battery.

Is there a custom kernel or anything that can get me close to that or am I dreaming?

My GPS doesn't work at all on CM. With MiUi it was working upon reboot just fine.

Also MiUi felt more smooth and refined around the edges. I'll give it a couple days to see how I like it.

Are there some GPS files I can change or something to get better GPS performance?

I installed AngryGPS and I'm running that now, not helping. Not locking onto any sats. :(

Vibrant_CM7_GPSFix_V1.5.1-CWM-signed.zip

Rebooting now!!! Hope it works!!!
[Vibrant General] strictlyrude27:
this gives the best results in terms of achieving lock, but it's super sensitive to gps daemon not coming back online if an app tries to get a lock but you exit it before it does.

frankly, gps is plain awful for our phone without source for it. I've been using bluetooth GPS for now.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
Thanks for your help.

So I installed that, rebooted my phone, and wht do you know...I got a lock within 30 seconds!

So powered down my phone, rebooted a second time to see if I get a lock fast and this time took much longer felt like 3 mins but I just got a lock right now.

Going to reboot and try it one more time.

What's GPS daemon?

Also what did this zip file exactly do to my gps? I know it's all explained but I'm too tired to read a long thread.

update:

3rd reboot, got 6 out of 11 to lock within 5 seconds! Hope it always performs like this!!! I'm around 30 foot accuracy right now.

Another update:

Here is an interesting observation I made. So if your screen turns off while you are using the GPS, when you turn your screen back on GPS is dead, it won't even initiate ....the GPS icon doesn't show up in the notification bar. However, if you use Advanced Task Killer to kill everything that was using GPS, then you can go back into maps or Gps-test and GPS is initiated again. It has a similar effect to rebooting the phone. Might be a helpful observation, unless I'm the only one who's GPS dies when the screen turns off.
[Vibrant General] asatnik11:
Welcome to the CM7/MIUI GPS experience. You'll also enjoy 3G rapidly sucking the battery life out of your phone:)

Other than those 2 problems (and broken 911) its great!

Use 2G/EDGE or wifi with wifi no sleep policy to help with the battery drain.
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
Yeah, the 3G thing is annoying. I have noticed that, at least in my case, it's area related. Example, in Birmingham mine swaps between 3G/4G (UMTS/HSDPA) signals constantly, in Atlanta, it'll stay on a HSDPA connection.

Since the 2G/3G toggle is fixed now, I just use it.
[Vibrant General] LHBC:
Sorry I haven't kept up with it but What's the broken 911?

Please don't tell me that you can't call 911 with CM7 installed.:eek:
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
I guess they say 911 doesn't work on CM, you can't call for help.

Although I didn't call 911, I did call 311 and it did correctly route and connect me to the City of LA information system, so I'm assuming 911 should work too. Who knows.

Just in case, google your local police department and fire department and store them in your phone as an emergency backup.
