Regarding Proximity Sensor Bug

I had proximity bug before, but now it disappeared. Here's what happened.

I removed root and flashed LG Stock firmware using the kdz method as I had to get my phone repaired [headset jack was not working]. The proximity sensor was working fine with the stock rom.

While replacing the jack, the LG guy fried the board somehow! [my phone is out of warranty] .... so basically he had to replace my board too, for free :D

Then, I rooted, installed cwm, flashed cm-9-20120621-UNOFFICIAL-p500.zip

The proximity sensor did not work.

Then I installed official CM7.2 Stable (16th June release) and the proximity sensor worked briefly for 2-3 calls and then again I had the black-screen. [Yes, even in the CM7.2]

Then I hex-edited the sensors.thunderg.ko in cm7.2 to completely disable the proximity sensor.

Then I installed a custom kernel from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1587209 for better battery life.

Then I removed the screen-guard [it used to cover the proximity sensor too, but never gave a problem with stock rom or mikos' cm7 rom] and replaced it with a screen-guard which had a cut for the proximity sensor.

After 2-3 days it came to my mind that proximity sensor problem could be kernel related, so I restored the original sensors.thunderg.ko file. Proximity sensor started working!

Then I flashed cm-9-20120621-UNOFFICIAL-p500.zip and the proximity sensor was working here too!!!!!! :D

So I had two changes in my phone, new board and removed screen guard.

I think, it was only the screen-guard causing the issue. So all my fellow p500 owners who are having this issue: Do you have a screen guard which covers the proximity sensor??
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Cresqo:
Yes I have a screen guard that covers the proximity sensor but I don't have the bug with my kernel or other kernels. Djnoxd kernel does not have that bug, but the kernel that comes with cm7.2 has it.

I activated my 3G pack for the first time today.. but i can't feel much of a difference... and there is no 3G sign on the notification bar also...

is there any way by which i can confirm whether it is 3g only... (without asking the mobile operator)..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sgambhir:
Enable the 2G/3G toggle in the Notification Power Widget. Use that to toggle between GSM/CDMA (it's not directly available in this ROM). I am on Vodafone Bangalore as well and it works perfectly this way.

Addendum:

1. For the CDMA network you'll get the 'H' symbol (for HSDPA) on the notification bar.

2. You can also add the mobile data toggle to the Notification Power Widget. It's handy if you want to control the data access.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] seriousia:
Open dialer and dial

And Then activate your data connection.

Same thing happens to me.

When i'm on 3G it all works well, but when i toggle to go back to 2G only i loose all reception.

If i toggle to go back to 3G i get back reception.

To get it working with 2G, set 2G as default, then reboot.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Oneiros42:
How do you set 2G to default? Because I checked "only use 2G" and then rebooted but nothing changed.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] chrisdf:
in Settings > More... > Mobile Networks > Use Only 2G Networks

make sure theres a tick on that option. when you restart your phone it should be 2g only (GPRS or EDGE) no 3G or HSPDA

If you restarted and nothing changed, reflash this rom clearing cache, data, system and dalvik
[Optimus One, P500, V General] iammudd:
I've read reports of problems switching between 2G and 3G with this ROM... I myself have lost network connectivity once for an unknown reason and once when switching SIMs. (I had to clear cache and dalvik.)

... but are you saying that on Froyo, you were able to use 2G-only with Telus ... and now no longer? AFIK, Telus and Bell Canada never implemented 2G-GSM, they only implemented 3.5G-HSPDA when they rolled out that network.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Oneiros42:
I never really used Froyo, I went straight to Gingerbread. I didn't use 2G extensively, but I remember when I tried switching to 2G only it worked fine. I probably won't use 2G very much even now, I just wanted to find out if I had a wrong setting somewhere or if I had a bug.

Also, it's probably relevant but I'm not sure, but I've been using Tasker awhile and in CM7 when I did a cell tower scan for the "Cell Near" function, I got tower ID's with the prefix GSM and others with PSC. On this ROM the scans only see GSM towers.

hello,

great rom, works fine on P500 even with old baseband, flashed "miuioldbb", but with ICS, P500 has a poor 2D/3D performance, ? can it be impruved ? it is half what I have with 2.3.7
[Optimus One, P500, V General] krishnandu.sarkar:
1. You have to go to Link2SD and select all the app and Link them manually first time. And after that set it to Automatically Link when a app is installed from settings. Simply installing Link2SD and partitioning the SD Card doesn't moves apps. So perform it manually for the first time at least.

2. Mine is showing 141MB left after flashing GAPPS and installing Facebook, Google+, Twitter etc.

3. Well ext3 didn't worked for me. So I'm using ext4 and it's working fine.

Installed the 28/06/2012 update for this ROM last night, was using an older version off it until then. Works beautifully smooth, OCs well. only slight niggles were during the update process had several false 'battery empty' screens when the battery was above 50% though this was fixed by wiping the dalvik cache and battery stats throught clockwork mod recovery. Also search bar not very effective, often giving connection errors in browser. Despite this though there are no major problems and I intend to continue using this as my day-to-day ROM.

Voice Search

Well, it seems the search tool for threads is nowhere to be found right now and couldn't find the answer for my question (Yes, already looked around the thread) so here it goes.

After Hephappy's UPSTREAM ROM installation, everything is working fine (Thanks!) but Voice Search, it doesn't work at all... Voice Search 3.0.1 that is.

Following a helpful reply around the thread I uninstalled it and installed from the market, only available V.2.1.4 and it fixes Voice Search only for the Search Bar and some Voice Commands. No Voice-to-Text on messages or any other application.

So my question is, is there a way to fix it so Voice-to-Text works everywhere else? Or just uninstall ROM and go back to stock 2.3.3?

Thanks in advance, and sorry for the long, long text. :p
