Same here, I guess P729BB01 is already the latest baseband?
[Blade General] Inferi0r:
I read everywhere (like here) that baseband p729bb01 is linked tot Gen1's. And that p729b01 is the new radio which is from gen2.

Only bug i found is that my camera is up side down. But maybe that's wbaw's kernel related.

Edit: found a guy with P729B01 and Gen1 by default, so everything is maybe possible. But still the question is, how to update if this is a real update?
[Blade General] Master One:
That's indeed strange, I just checked, because I have one GEN1-toGEN2-converted Blade, and another one still GEN1 with the stock 2.1 software on it here, and both show baseband P729BB01.

wbaw, what should the actual GEN2 baseband version be? I have used your Gen1-to-Gen2-TPT-v10-custom.zip file to convert my first Blade, and since it seems to be working with your kernel and the latest CM7.2-RC0 based KANGs, I guess the conversion was successful, except the shown baseband version.

If P729BB01 is indeed the wrong baseband version for GEN2, how could I fix that problem now, since it is already GEN2-converted?
[Blade General] RolF2:
I have used gen1 to gen2 stock TPT and my baseband is p729b01 .

[Blade General] [] AL []:
Well, I don't know if this is related to the fact that my gf's phone is a chinese Blade with 256MB ram only but...

I've tried wbaw's latest build (cm-7.2.0-blade-KANG-wbaw-120225.zip) and then I couldn't connect to wifi. I've tried forgetting my network and re-register but still couldn't connect. Wifi setting shows 'connecting' than quickly returns to 'disconnected' and I never see the wifi signal bars on the statusbar.

Then I reverted to Feb18th build from burstlam (wifi ok) and tried wbaw's (boot-wbaw-cm7-gen2-blade120223a.zip) kernel: same wifi problem.

Lastly, I've tried targetbsp's latest 'vanilla' (no special kernel) build and wifi was fine again. BUT, I have the same problems that I have on burstlam with or without wbaw's boot-wbaw-cm7-gen2-blade-120222.zip kernel: battery drains very quickly with any very moderate use --> it can easily go down 30% per hour and the numbers reported by Battery Widget Monitor on Temperature and battery level in standby mode don't make any sense.

When I've mentioned that I wanted "solid numbers'' earlier, I meant to collect more solid proof explaining/showing those problems. I still don't have them since I want to make sure that I go through a couple full battery cycle charges before drawing any real conclusion here. But that being said, I'm attaching a couple screenshots showing my issues anyway. It is impossible that with the phone in standby, the temperature goes crazy like that (the phone isn't hot either) and it is also almost impossible that the battery can stay at 100% for 8 hours following a full charge...

Any clue on what could be the issue here?

I could suspect that the battery monitor application is not reading things properly, but it works very well with my Defy on cm7 and this wouldn't deny the fact that the battery can drain 30% per hours on light usage and that it stays unchanged for hours in stanby... :confused: :confused:

Battery is 1250mAh (less than the 1540mAh of my Defy) but still, 30% an hour is just insane; I get about 15%-18% max while playing Grand Theft Auto 3 on my phone... And she has almost nothing installed on her phone; maybe just 6-8 apps...

Thanks.
[Blade General] wbaw:
New official cm7 nightly build out: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly&device=blade

[] AL []: The battery temperature readings don't work when the phone is asleep, it's a zte bug, affects all blades on all roms. The official fix is to ignore it.
[Blade General] [] AL []:
OK thanks: good to know!

That might partially explain the major battery drains I observe; if the phone is in standby for a long time and then used, the reported battery level would then catch up for what it has lost in standby...but still seems extreme nevertheless...

I will keep digging; it's just hard for me to get a hold on the gf's phone. for extended periods..

And btw, I did try battery stats wipe and i have yet to go through logcats and use cpuspy to see if the phone properly goes into deepsleep (which would seems like it does...) or if there are any wakelock problems.

Her phone is on 2G only-no data with DroidWall blocking any unwanted wifi data throughput and display is fixed (no-auto) at 20%.

Who's the new build from?

Any words on why I couldn't get wifi running with your Feb25th build and/or previous kernel?

Thanks again.

Later edit:

And btw, re. what you said is a cm7 bug: I do not get any bootanimation restart on burstslam's or targetbsp's builds but do get it on every boot (not just the fisrt one after kang installation) when using your builds or kernels..
[Blade General] wbaw:
The new build is from CyanogenMod, back in the old days (before last November) they used to do an automatic build nearly every night for download & call it a nightly build. Then they had server issues. Now they've collected donations & got a new server. That is the first Blade CM7 nightly build since.

No idea about your wifi. Logs might help. Have you tried GSF? Does your wifi work on that? Does my 22nd of Feb CM7 kernel work after full wipe & reinstall of rom? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22818182&postcount=61
[Blade General] [] AL []:
Ok thanks again; nice to see nightly build bots going again :)

I don't know about GSF...no clue what it is.

But wifi is fine on burstlam and targetbsp.

Btw, I've disabled all screen animations and dithering in performance menu and I'm using on-demand cpu scaling.

I admit that only wiped cache and dalvik cache between builds/kernel changes (which kept wifi going fine with burstlam's build + your Feb 22 kernel; but not with your last build or other kernel from 3-4 days ago). I will try a new clean install eventually...

--> So if I got that right, there are no stock sbfs available for the Blade? I couldn't do a real clean install starting with full sbf flashing? Although, i do reallize that there is no real advantage in doing so with an unlocked bootloader...just an old habbit...

cheers
[Blade General] Master One:
Then there has to be something wrong with the Gen1-to-Gen2-TPT-v10-custom.zip

wbaw, any idea what the issue could be, and how to solve it on an already GEN1-to-GEN2 converted phone?
[Blade General] Kannibalism:
revert back to gen1 using the reverse method and then go back to gen2 trying tpt again did you do this ?
[Blade General] Inferi0r:
And what about my phone, which is GEN2 by default?
[Blade General] Master One:
I did not try to revert back to GEN1, but flashed the GEN1-to-GEN2 TPT with the nightly257, and then the Gen1-to-Gen2-TPT-v10-custom.zip again, both went well, but both display the baseband version P729BB01, so I guess the v10 upgrade did work, but the shown baseband version just did not change. Nevertheless it seems to be working, which is still confusing.
[Blade General] xyz`1:
Your KANG and kernel worked very well for me no issues after a clean install though..I was wondering your kernel is way faster than tomG's..and in the coldfusion ICS build for the blade tomG's kernel was used so is it possible for you to make an ICS compatible kernel? Because i just tested the latest coldfusion release the 3d game performance is crazy! GT racing yes the gameloft one works without ANY SIGN OF LAG! it worked pretty similar to that on gb with your KANG but..its way smoother on ICS with a slower kernel! so it just has me dumbfounded about what a kernel like yours could do on ICS!
[Blade General] wbaw:
I was chatting to Tom G yesterday, he's added my patches for gpu & axi overclocking which should improve 3d performance in his next releases & official cyanogenmod.
[Blade General] :
I've been using Sej's build for a long time and it is the most stable ROM.:)
[Blade General] Rapier07:
Hi wbaw, i flashed your kernel over BurgerZ 20th feb build and my Bluetooth started working which it didn't previously. But my device lags with your kernel, i tried changing governers. What could be wrong. i own a ZTE V880 with 256MB Ram.
[Blade General] Master One:
wbaw, can you please check on the patches related to Bluetooth? There seems to be something wrong with your KANG, because I can not connect to my BT headset any more.

BT can be activated without problem, scanning for devices works and my BT headset is found, pairing also worked, but it does not connect, and nothing else happens after "Device paired, but not connected".
[Blade General] wbaw:
I'm not sure I can win with the bluetooth patches, it was a vain attempt to try to get it working with my mercedes (it still doesn't fully work, but it's no worse). I can't test every device. I've got one person saying I fixed it & one saying I broke it. There were lots of bluetooth patches. You'll have to give some logs to give us a clue.

If you have problems with my kernel then please post an issue on the issue tracker for it, include logs - logcat, dmesg, kmsg.

https://github.com/John-Kenney/zte-turies-35/issues

Otherwise I can't really respond, it just makes this thread messy.
[Blade General] Master One:
Too bad, I already moved on to sej7278's latest build with TomG's new kernel. I don't recall anyone confirming BT to be working with your KANG, and as mentioned, it is a very specific problem, since BT can be activated, scanning shows normal results, pairing is possible, but it just does not connect to my BT headset with no indication for the reason. With sej7278's latest KANG it's working again. I am sorry for not being able to help you analyze that problem, hopefully someone else with a BT headset can step in (no idea if this is just BT headset related, or connecting to any BT device).
[Blade General] wbaw:
The post right before yours said it was fixed & didn't work before.

I can't fix it for you if you don't give enough information about your problem. It works fine for other people with other headsets. It works fine with my PC, it partially works with my Mercedes (same as it did before), it works to connect to other phones. I don't have any other bluetooth devices to test & it's always been dodgy on the Blade.

If you have any problems with my kernel then put an issue on my issue tracker, i'm not even going to respond to any more bug reports here, it's the wrong place for it.
[Blade General] Master One:
Ups, completely overlooked, maybe Rapier07 can provide more info then (my guess is, he didn't really test it, but could see that BT generally is working).

wbaw, don't you have any BT device (preferably a BT headset) to test it?
[Blade General] wbaw:
I have several BT devices & they all work, except the one that I really want to work & didn't work before that I was trying to fix, that isn't any worse. I can connect, dial & download the phonebook on my Mercedes, but no audio through the car in calls, it's been like that forever. I'll need logs posting on my issue tracker to even start to attempt to fix your problem because I've no idea what's causing it & i can't test any possible solutions, since I don't have your headset (whichever of the millions of different types it is).

The bluetooth patches were all minor bug fixes from Linux & applied fairly cleanly, the zte kernel is up to date until August 2010, I just applied most of the bluetooth patches that were accepted into Linux up until December 2010.

Bluetooth has always been rubbish on the Blade, there have always been some devices that work & some that don't. We need logs to try to fix it for your specific device. Since it worked before for you it shouldn't be that hard to narrow it down to which specific change caused it, if I can get logs. Hopefully it's not the same patch that fixed the other guy's device. It's you that needs to provide more info, master one, since you're the one having problems & please do it on the issue tracker. I don't need more information from people who's devices work - it's good to hear that they do, but it's the broken things I really need detailed information on.

I can't just revert all the bluetooth patches, most of them are useful & at least one of them fixed it for Rapier07.

If you post enough information on my bug tracker about any bugs then I'll do my best to solve them. Otherwise there isn't much I can do.
[Blade General] saaransh9:
The same was happening with me worth burgerz 13 Feb but I solved it by using app Bluetooth file transfer see if it works for u
[Blade General] xyz`1:
Got it should have read more carefully.. sorry
[Blade General] [] AL []:
Yo,

Well, I'm sorry for not including a catlog or desmeg here on this (my gf needs her phone atm), but this being a thread is about cm7 KANGs, I thought that I would at least report what I've tried and observed lately anyway.

So since my last post, I've tried both Sej's AND Burstlam's Feb. 27th builds and got the same wifi problem as with wbaw's Feb25th.

I did not install any seperate kernel and I wiped cache, Dalvik cache and fomatted the system partition prior to the installations: that didn't help. So people can't say it's because I've installed improperly ;). I've looked at the logcat, but I doubt that it will be of any help as it contains no valuable info; just showing that it is trying to connect and then goes to disconnected.

I've also found that I'm not alone to experience such issues with the recents cm7 builds (various source and post- ~Feb 22) and at least 3 or 4 other users have reported the same already - read from this page on at modaco.

So again, sorry if this post doesn't bring too much useful info; I just wanted to share my experience.

I'm back on Targetbsp's Feb 20th build which is the most recent build that worked ok for me.

Notes:

- I've just found out what GSF is; I might give it a try eventually..;

-I really wonder why all the Blade's cm7 kangs aren't forcing a dalvik cache wipe at zip installation. It seems pretty obvious to me that it is the right thing to do when switching roms. Isn't that a simple line to add in the updater-script or in bootmenu? :confused:
[Blade General] wbaw:
It must be the new wifi driver causing you problems then. Nothing we can really do about it, we don't have any source code for the wifi driver & it's the only one that works with the updated zte source code which fixes the camera for other people. You'll have to use an older kernel & wifi driver ( /system/wifi directory)
[Blade General] [] AL []:
From modaco:

Posted by sej7278 on Feb 28:

"no, the latest nightly doesn't have the new kernel - its not been merged yet, so probably that's the most stable build for now (25th?)

my last kang that didn't have that kernel would be before the 27feb.

edit: just set my router to G-only and i can't connect now using patch7, set it back to b+g and it connects again at 11mbps, so its definitely broken 54g"

Posted by targetbsp on Feb28:

"Sounds like TomG has got the wifi fixed. (Not uploaded yet)"

--> So it seems that you have to set your router to mixed B&G mode to get the wifi to connect. but speed is limited at 11mbps. Fix underway apparently..will try back in a few days.. nope maybe later today:p:

[Blade General] [] AL []:
Although I've long learned not to 'trust' battery life claims from other users [as it is really hard to prove such a thing as operating conditions (signal reception and usage) are never the same from one battery charge to another], I will go ahead and try the cm7 nightly 252 from November 10th.

My gf doesn't need an up to the last commit updated phone, but rather something reliable and with good battery life. So from your experience, if you guys have suggestions on which ones to avoid or to try specifically, please shoot! I would appreciate. Thx.
[Blade General] Gokh:
In my experience, the best battery life was, if i don't make mistake n254 and n257v3++( or something like this, it's a sej build when nigthlies were off).

I tried different Bluetooth devices it works fine when connecting with other phones but I recently bought a Bluetooth headset which connects itself with any discoverable device close by using a pin number so first I tried with the galaxy tab and it instantly asks for the pin as soon as I make it discoverable but nothing happens when I try with the blade but as I don't have any of the older kernels without the various fixes new source etc I can't be sure whether its your new kernel or the blade.

Edit :acpuclock tweak speeds? That's for?

Up to you if you want to put it on the front page of the thread or not, I don't mind either way. I'm going to start a new thread for my next build, try to add a few more experimental features & get some feedback. Probably on Sunday. If you want to link to my new thread for my kang that'd be good.

---------- Post added at 01:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 AM ----------

Please leave a detailed bug report with logs on my issue tracker for the zte-turies kernel on my github https://github.com/John-Kenney/zte-turies-35/issues Can't promise I can fix it, but if you can give me enough information, collect logs & test out a few builds then I can do my best.

The latest acpuclock patch isn't in my latest compiled kernels, but it's nothing really, just tidying up ready for a few other tidying up patches. Only thing it changes is slightly overclocks the gpu at some lower speeds & breaks a kernel config option that I'm going to remove as it's become unnecessary. No noticeable difference.

In kernel it is set to 300Mhz but i want try 350 :D
[Blade General] wbaw:
It's set to half the cpu speed, so if you run your cpu at 700mhz the gpu will be 350mhz.
[Blade General] sqbo:
My CPU is unstable at 691 :(

What is better choose ? Burslam or KANG ? I am already at Burslam Nx361 and i think its smoothly on scrolling :)))

Big Question, Burslam nx366 or new Kang :/
