Notifications Blah

I had this same problem, reboot fixed but only temporarily as it returned last night again. As of right now I can't get the notification bar drop down to accept input without a reboot. I'm borderline on this being a showstopper as I live off of the notification bar...

I've poured through the settings, but haven't found anything that fixes it. I have the notification bar power widget turned on, turning that off hasn't made a difference either. I'm going to leave it off and reboot, and see if it comes back.

Do you have the notification power widget turned on?
[Motorola Droid X2] Moon Shadow - NM:
For everyone having problems with CM7, I HIGHLY recommend going in and wiping both cache and dalvik-cache. (Not a data wipe.) This has fixed pretty much every problem I have run into with CM7.

Now for downloading large files, I have found that I have to use tasker to create a "power profile" that never turns off the screen. I do not have the WIFI loosing connection issue that has been reported, however I have noticed (on stock as well) that when the screen times out, downloads all fail or stop. Just my 2 cents. :D

Ciao!
[Motorola Droid X2] hoganw:
Even though this was done after applying CM7 in BSR? Not sure why doing it again would make any difference, but stranger things have been known to happen. :D

I'm not sure if people have tried this, but it works for me...

Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> WiFi Settings -> (menu button) -> Advanced -> WiFi Sleep Policy

By default it's set to turn wifi off when the screen turns off but can be set to "Never."
[Motorola Droid X2] eddieb1983:
I would like to report the only problem I have had with CM7 on my DX2 is one of my apps not restoring data I backed up before flashing. Other than that, I LOVE THIS ROM! I used this ROM on my old Dinc and absolutely loved it then too. I feel at home with CM7, and since this is only a beta version, I can't wait for the final release!
[Motorola Droid X2] smallzfsu:
I wiped cache and dalvik (even though I did it in the install steps as well) and the frozen notifications problem has not resurfaced for me. I will post again if it returns, but thanks for the tip moon shadow!
[Motorola Droid X2] hoganw:
Well, I guess I'll give it another shot. Getting back up and running is almost second-nature now, hooray for backups. haha

I'll wipe, flash, boot CM7, reboot, wipe again, and see if things behave any better. I just went back to stock a few days ago and I'm ready to kill it again. Only 2.5 weeks to upgrade devices! :D
[Motorola Droid X2] BreatheALittle:
So I've read through the CM7 development threads and through this one regarding some of the issues. I am currently running on Liberty. Since I am still learning the Android world (read: I'm freaking clueless), would you guys suggest changing over to CM7, or staying with Liberty?

Thanks! (from the girl who's trying to learn...) :D
[Motorola Droid X2] maggard5:
I have never run the liberty rom but i do recommend cm7. The only issue I've had is with wifi. It loses connection sometimes. I downloaded wifi fixer from the market. It doesn't fix the problem but it does reconnect wifi for me. Some have this problem and some don't.

Make a nandroid and give it a try. If you don't like it you can always go back to liberty.
[Motorola Droid X2] BreatheALittle:
Thanks so much!! I found the directions to give it a try, and realized it was waaaaay more complex than what I felt comfortable doing on my own. Plus, it said I would have to install it from Gingerbread... so that would be 2 installs to complete. May have to wait for my tech guru for this one! However, I'm excited to check it out!

(By the way, I realized that on the couple posts I have, you have helped with both of them. Double thanks. :-) )
[Motorola Droid X2] maggard5:
Good luck with whatever you decide but it really isn't as complicated as it sounds. Moonshadow has created some great tutorials to guide you through each step. And you are welcome for the help.
[Motorola Droid X2] smallzfsu:
Looks like the notification issues returned for me, great timing. I noticed this time, that one of the notifications that is stuck there is partially Swiped off to the left. I took a screenshot but I'm a nub here and can't post the link.

On another note, I continue to have the wireless problems... dx2 keeps trying to connect, sometimes says disabled. I have set it to never turn off in the screen timeout section. Very weird...
[Motorola Droid X2] hoganw:
Well, I went and reinstalled CM7 last night. I was diligent about clearing both caches both before and after install, and again a little later after reinstalling apps, plus I also cleared the battery stats.

Don't want to jinx it, but so far so good. Battery life has been very good, I easily went 16 hours and the battery was still > 50%. No call or SMS issues and no notification bug yet. We'll see how things work over the next couple of days...
[Motorola Droid X2] xMopx:
I've got horrid battery life (down to 60% in 5 hours of LOW use) and some wifi issues (sometimes has a hard time connecting, sometimes not).

I'm going to try the davlic and cache wipe and report back.
[Motorola Droid X2] hoganw:
I'd suggest clearing the battery stats as well, I think this is what helped me the most. My battery usage the first time around was virtually the same, almost 10% per hour. Now, since clearing the battery stats, I get this...
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
This will most likely never comeout of beta unless Cyanogen picks it up as an official. That isn't likely to happen so don't wait and enjoy today
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
It's been stated by a Google engineer that wiping battery stats will do nothing to help improve battery life.

Here's the article:

http://www.androidcentral.com/wiping-battery-stats-doesnt-improve-battery-life-says-google-engineer

It's main purpose is to keep track of what has been using the battery. Wiping it just means you start over the monitoring of what is using the battery. It does nothing to improve or worsen your battery life.
[Motorola Droid X2] hoganw:
It's also well-known that it takes time for ROMs to acclimate and properly report battery state. Sorry if I implied it would improve actual battery life, it was more to say that battery life/state seems to be more accurate after wiping the battery stats while in BSR. I had rebooted numerous times the first time I installed CM7, battery usage/state reported across those 2 days was the same. Crappy.

This time around I cleared the battery stats while in BSR and installed the exact same zips, then restored the same data. This time around the battery state is much more in line with what I would expect.

Clearing the battery stats appears to have resulted in CORRECT reporting of battery life/state, not actually increased it. I did not let the battery drain completely the first time I installed CM7.
[Motorola Droid X2] hoganw:
Well, day 3 and everything is working great still. No cell issues, no notification bugs, etc. Now I'll be able to survive until my upgrade date, woohoo!
[Motorola Droid X2] BreatheALittle:
Thanks so much for this tip! I was having the wifi/3G connectivity problems as well. I found that a simple reboot would fix it temporarily, but didn't want to always have to reboot my phone. I wondered why the directions to install CM7 advised to wipe both cache and dalvik cache directly after install. Guess I shouldn't have skipped that step? Now I know...

EDIT: So, after I cleared the caches, I noticed my phone was no longer reading my battery. The battery icon simply had a "?" in it. Rebooting fixed it, but just wanted to give the heads up in the instance that anyone else experiences it.
[Motorola Droid X2] t1.8matt:
so far, with the most recent version of cm7 installed,these are the issues I'm having:

-Modern combat games wont work.

-script manager is sketchy, can't load kick ass kernalizer, but can load the other two with noproblems.

-I don't like how the sdcards are setup. Nothing installs to the riht location because all the Emory locations are rearranged. Sd-flip flop doesnt work.

So farthose are the few problems. Otherwise a generally fast rom otherwise. Might give the NEW MIUI a shot too. Does anyone know if u can go from cm7 to MIUI since itsays ituses some cm7 framework?
[Motorola Droid X2] king..kranium:
same problem with notification bar

Specifically: I "grabbed" a download complete notification on accident. It dragged a few centimeters and glitched the whole thing. Only problem I've had. And also try the cache cleaner( for heavy use set to auto clean every hour)...

---------- Post added at 11:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 PM ----------

I believe the script manager settings are conflicting with the cyanogenmod settings. See what the script is setting the values to and edit in the cyanogen mod settings...
[Motorola Droid X2] Mikeyfitz14:
I have the notification and WiFi issues as well, though I just changed the sleep policy, so I will have to test it and see if it resolves the problem.

This morning my alarms did not function properly, the alarm went off (phone vibrated) but not audible alarm. I confirmed that they were set correctly and tested with newly set alarms. Reboot fixed.

I have also been having problems with Google Music/Pandora and the Music app. If I am listening to Google Music/Pandora and then "quit" the program (using menu button) the program will close, but Music then opens and starts playing? I remember that there was an setting to pause/play when headphones were connected or disconnected in older software versions, but I cant find that setting anymore. Anyone else seeing this issue?
[Motorola Droid X2] eccm:
I am trying to install this on my phone and have it Rooted and have access to the bootloader. I have the files from the CM7 thread on my SD card in a folder I labeled "APK and ZIP" When I go to the bootloader and select "install from SD" and the folder designated it tells me no files are found there. I have left the files zipped and tried it unzipped. Can anyone let me know what i may be doing wrong? I was going to ask in the development thread but I dont have access to that currently.
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Are you following the op to a T? Are you using tenfar's BSR and not android recovery? You do not have to rename the cm7 file.
[Motorola Droid X2] eccm:
4. Install the Motorola Droid X2 Bootstrap Recovery (BSR). See MoonShadow-NM's guide: HowTo: Perform a bootstrap (or nandroid) backup and recovery of your Droid X2

5. Put both the Google Apps zip, the CM7 zip, and dragonzkiller's patched BSR apk on your EXTERNAL sdcard.

6. Boot into BootStrap Recovery. (You should know how to do this... See item number 4 above as a reference.)

7. Install the CM7 zip.

I followed the directions in step 4 and got to the bootloader that way to set backup and now use the "system recovery" in my app drawer to get there.

if I am understanding you correctly that isnt how i am supposed to get there, correct? I am supposed to use this file:

Patched BSR APK for ALL versions of CM7DX2

I have that on my SD as well, do I need to run that from my file manager or something before going into recovery?
[Motorola Droid X2] compulov:
I've had the Notification freeze glitch twice since running CM7 on my DX2. Using Notification Restart in the Market to restart the notification area clears the problem for me. FWIW, the CM changelog makes mention to something that sounds like this bug, and that a patch was merged in to fix it (google for cyanogen I75cc792a, since I can't post a link to it).

Hopefully a future build of CM7DX2 will bring in the latest merges and will fix this bug.

As I mentioned in another thread, I've had Wifi issues with CM7 on the DX2 as well.
[Motorola Droid X2] maggard5:
Have you solved your problem?
[Motorola Droid X2] eccm:
Not yet, I havent been home and wanted to make sure thats what i was supposed to do before I messed with it anymore.
[Motorola Droid X2] maggard5:
You should be using the old bsr not the one in the cm7 thread.

Redownload the cm7.zip (do not unzip it) and put it on your sdcard. Run system recovery (install recovery and then recovery mode). Once into bsr, select "install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from sdcard." Now navigate to the cm7.zip and select it. Then continue to follow the op instructions.
[Motorola Droid X2] eccm:
Still having the same issue, in the bootloader i pick "Install zip from SD card" then "choose zip from SD card" and then the folder they are in and it say "no files found" I took them out of that folder and put them in the SD general folder and they dont show up there either. Not sure what would cause this. I may just be an idiot and not know what im doing, last time i did all this on my phone i had the original Droid and just used ROM Manager.
[Motorola Droid X2] maggard5:
Replace the bsr with this one. Unzip it and put it on you sdcard, then run the apk from your sdcard to replace the one you are currently using.

Redownload the cm7.zip again and put it on the root of your sdcard.
[Motorola Droid X2] eccm:
Same thing "No Files found" but they are on my SD, I have no clue what is going on, i am probably doing something wrong along the way but i went back and reinstalled bsr and redid the backup and re downloaded the CM7 file.

If I can hunt down my camera I can take pictures and try to upload them if that would help anyone out.
[Motorola Droid X2] maggard5:
Not sure what's going on. Kind of sounds like an incomplete download of the cm7 zip. You are using this one right? Cyanogenmod 7 for the Motorola Droid X2 - BETA

It should be 90.5 mb.

When all else fails, sbf and start over.
[Motorola Droid X2] eccm:
Thanks, i just redownloaded using the link you just provided, was showing as 90.5 MB, I guess i will try to SBF back here in a little bit and see what happens, If i have any more issues after that i guess i will check back in.

Thanks again
[Motorola Droid X2] eccm:
UGH! i just SBFed, re rooted, unlocked the bootloader, ran a back up and it STILL tells me there are no files on my SD card to install still. Could it be an issue with the SD card? or somethin in my settings? I honestly have no idea now what to do.

---------- Post added at 06:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 AM ----------

i took some screenshots on my phone of the files on my SD card in ASTRO and the details of the CM7 file but i cant figure out how to upload them. this makes absolutely no sense to me

[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
backup both your cards on your computer internal and external. Through usb on your computer format your cards by right clicking on them in the my computer and selecting format and then quick format. Then put the files you wanna flash right on your sd card not in the folder make sure you're putting them on the right card check the properties of the card through your computer and make sure you're putting Them on the bigger of the 2. Internal sd should read 4 gigabytes your external if its stock should read 8. Or put them on both. Going to your system recovery app. Select the install recovery. Once it says okay then click recovery mode. Of course you're going to be plugged into the wall charger. Don't worry about wiping anything yet. Going to install the zip from sd card select the external it would not be in a folder it should just be at the bottom. If it's not there go back and check your internal card. They should be in 1 location if you did not put them in a folder when you're putting em on the card. If they are there back out of there wipe your data cache and dalvik. Go back and flash whatever you're trying to flash

If that doesn't work then will start fresh tomorrow night on gtalk... good luck I'm going to bed now

Tried switching up my SD card for another one I have and for some reason it worked after that, I am so confused. I was probably doing something wrong along the way somewhere but still dont know what. I am just glad i finally got it working.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions I got in here yesterday
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
Thats very odd but a good deal anyway! Glad you figured it out
[Motorola Droid X2] hoganw:
Well, had my first issue today, but not a big deal. Just the notification glitch. I'll try the Notification Restart app in the market to avoid rebooting.

Also, FWIW, I haven't had a single wifi issue since I configured wifi with a static IP. It's worked flawlessly since it stopped using DHCP, so for anyone with wifi issues try using a static IP.

Everything else has been working great!
[Motorola Droid X2] SuRG0:
Have had little to no trouble with this. Loved C7 on my DX but after an unfortunate incident with a washing machine and a stuffed buffalo, I was left with a DX2 and regret.

Had to restart the GPS a couple of times using Google Maps, but only to start navigating on the route. Nothing else ATM.
[Motorola Droid X2] y0himba:
So far: (2 days of use)

Mount Points: Thanks to a user here, I was able to set my SD cards the way they should be, internal is internal, external is external MicroSD.

I don't mind that it is no longer sdcard-ext, (it is now emmc) but there is still an sdcard-ext listed under /mnt/, which points to a folder or something on the INTERNAL sdcard storage. It is confusing. Why can we not have sdcard and sdcard-ext, or sdcard and emmc?

Bluetooth: No auto-answer. No voice dialer options. No notification tone when listening for command starts, no confirmation the command was recognized. No options or way to enable any of the above. It is unsafe to use when driving and (to me) is an absolute necessity with my job.

Sound: On Stock and Eclipse, I was able to turn the ringtone volume all the way down leaving media and alarms loud, without the silent notification showing. Can a option be added for a status bar tweak to no show that notification?

Pulldown toggles: I read that they are supposed to be changeable. How does one change them?

Music: stops playing when I receive a call, but does not restart automatically.

ADW: Not enough action buttons on the dock. Only 5. I purchased ADW.ex to remedy this.

For the battery folks: I ran Waze (GPS routing and navigation app), took a 15 minute call, played music over Bluetooth, have Beautiful Widgets checking the weather every 15 minutes using GPS for location, wireless scanning, push mail, Facebook, Twitter, Gplus, Talk and Latitude running, not to mention all the little background processes that run on a phone. All this over a 2 hour period. 6:28am to 8:28am. When I looked at the phone before plugging it back in my battery was at 63%. Not bad if you ask me.
[Motorola Droid X2] robocuff:
For the pull down toggles, settings>cyanogenmod settings>interface>notification power widget>widget buttons.
[Motorola Droid X2] y0himba:
I. Feel. Stupid. I was thinking of the Motorola power widget. Thanks for that. :)

Honestly, the most important thing to me is the Bluetooth. I use my headset constantly (have it on now). Driving a vehicle the size of mine I cannot really even reach up to press the answer button on my headset, and I can get a ticket for using the phone to dial while driving.
[Motorola Droid X2] tshelby73:
I have the same issue with Bluetooth, someone was working on porting nuance but i think it's probably not going to happen haven't heard any progress reports so they must have given up. Been considering going back to eclipse 1.3 for nuance and hdmi. But i really want to keep cm7. Kinda waiting to see what happens.

[Motorola Droid X2] y0himba:
HDMI doesn't even bother me. However Bluetooth is a necessity, and almost a deal breaker.

It amazes me how solid this ROM runs and how little battery it uses. Today: two 15 minute phone calls over Bluetooth, 2 hours of music over Bluetooth, data, GPS, Bluetooth and wireless all on. 80% battery when I plugged it in. SWEET.

Here are a couple more things bugging me, mostly my own fault.

I do not want notifications to interrupt my music. Emails and such are making the music stop for a second and then play again. How do I set it up so that they do not interrupt the music? How do I set it up so that the music automatically starts playing again after I am done with a call? (Bluetooth headset)

What size should I re-size my wallpapers to? I have wallpaper scrolling turned off.
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:

I'm also having an issue with my computer not reading my SD cards. What settings does the USB connection has to be on to transfer data to the computer since USB mass storage is not on this rom?
[Motorola Droid X2] DaveRichardson:
The middle one. 'Mount SD for USB access' or something. I haven't had any issues, but I've also installed probably five different various Android devices drivers on my PC over the years, so maybe one of those is facilitating the handshake.

Report: wifi wtf: I'm at home right now and with wifi enabled( and connected), and.... nothing. I dnt wanna sound dramatic but maybe= COMPLETE WIFI FAILURE. lol
[Motorola Droid X2] smallzfsu:
These type of wifi problems seem to be largely ignored, and honestly I'm not sure why. It's very clearly a problem. I flashed this ROM a few times in various ways and I can't get it to keep a consistent, usable wifi connection. I flashed liberty this past weekend and haven't had a single wifi problem since. I'd rather be running cm7 cause I like it better, but not with this problem.
[Motorola Droid X2] y0himba:
I have been reading about the WiFi problems and I am not seeing them. My Wifi connects as soon as I get in range of my house, and operates normally. I think that either the ROM was flashed wrong or maybe folks are impatient and cannot wait long enough between scans. The scan period seems to have been adjusted for battery life...
