I notice that my phone had seemed like it was struggling today and the available ram was floating around 80MB. I froze the Facebook app in TB and all is right. As soon as I froze it available ram jumped to +200MB. Guess I'm sticking with FriendCaster.

My sound (PowerAmp, Spotify, YouTube) will switch to the earpiece speaker occasionally, requiring a reboot. Is this happening to anyone else?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] heath2805:
I wouldn't worry about it since this is just a test build. They pretty much announced that everything is working except camera and video cam. Which I'm sure Liquid and Jester will figure out :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] norman1080:
I can barely keep my pants on! This is awesome progress!

I can't wait (but I really can) for the next build!

These Devs are amazing! Awesome work guys!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] WalkerGFX:
Wow. Very cool! Can't wait!!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] animez:
The current build is so amazing already, the new one will be mind-blowing. Thanks so much to Liquid and Jester for all their hard work, to have such talented devs supporting the redheaded stepchild of the LTE phones is amazing.

I have been using Bluetooth tethering and it works great. The setting to allow Bluetooth tethering does not stick, though, so you have to enable it after every boot.

How long should Activating screen take? Im using new combo radio and its been on here for like 5 minutes.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gruiz1122:
Activating doesn't work. Tap clockwise from top left to get out of it and add in your accounts manually. This has been discussed AD nauseam in this thread...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] heath2805:
Tap the 4 corners. Starting from top left, moving clockwise...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] RBarnett09:
I actually got stuck here too. I let it go on and on and eventually it prompted me saying it failed and allowed me to skip over it. Haha. Man, now I feel dumb. =\

But yes, like they said, (wish I would have seen that part) tap clockwise around the screen corners starting at the top left.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] kweng_ca:
Just for clarification, are you saying that the current build in the OP "MR2.6-Beta1x" has working 4G when paired with the new 605.2 radio? Or are you referring the build to be released?

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] icesteve:
That radio or 605.19 you will get 4g speeds it just says 1x... I'm sticking with 19 as jester had said that's what there building around, plus I was getting reboots with the new radio
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
I would just wait for the next release the mod doesn't actually do anything it just replaces the 1x icon with a 4G icon so wether you have 1x, 3G, or 4G it will say 4G no matter what.

^^This^^ I'm really looking forward to the next release, this rom has been my DD for a couple weeks now and I love what Google, Liquid and Jester did with AOSP. if you say the next release is 10x better I can only imagine. It seems like it's almost ready from twitter posts and the tidbits here and there. Did they get the camera resolved yet if you know?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jonah1234:
+1 and its camcorder thats the problem and I think they r still working on that

Sent from my Liquid ICS HTC Thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nimbus79:
I see.. probably kernal related usually in the past that's been the hurdle to jump. I saw Linaro mentioned for this build so that's pretty exciting! Haven't heard that (Linaro) name for a while thought they might have moved to something else since it hasn't been mentioned lately.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DaRkL3AD3R:
Hey Link any word on whether camcorder works in the new release? And also is it JB? :eek:

Also I agree that there's no sense in getting that icon mod as all it does is change the 1x icon image to look like 4G. It's a hack that really does nothing but make the user feel better. A type of "ignorance is bliss" bandaid lol

So does the new release actually fix the radio problems and the activation hang?

Omg so excited. I never thought I'd say this before, but when I get this new release I think I might release LOL jizz my pants status excited here.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] heath2805:
Try to hold your bodily fluids in there buddy. Hopefully it will be out soon lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kdb424:
It's ICS, camcorder is still being worked on, activation worked fine for Link (official tester). Data problems are all fixed though. No word on MMS to my knowledge.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] quickdraw86:
i'm pretty sure link said that MMS was sending in his current test build. camera and camcorder are the last major things broken that are still being ironed out AFAIK.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gruiz1122:
^^ This ^^ I can corroborate that he did say everything was fixed with the exception of camera and camcorder.

Has anyone with Google Now just had it stop working, for some reason mine just closed everyone I do a search now whether it's voice or text.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] RBarnett09:
This ROM is one of the most sexy things I have ever lusted for.

Smooth and buttery... mmmm, good.

Okay, I'm done.

I'm thinking I need to install a different keyboard.

Love the ICS keyboard, but I really like the more convenient (in my opinion) long-press icons on the Gingerbread keyboard.

Great work!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wampuscat:
Try perfect keyboard. Been using it over a year now. And I've tried em all at some point. Has plenty of themes available too. One thing I like is ability to shorten the long press duration time required for long presses and the number keypad it has
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
Most aftermarket keyboards let you do that. I think the longpress duration on the stock ics keyboard is nearly perfect. This keyboard is much better than previous android versions.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] arizonaomnia:
Wondering about the advise ability of dirty flashing the update over my currently installed version of this 1.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Shadow Death:
I had been using swiftkey 3 but honestly here lately I've been having issues with it removing words when I'm typing really fast.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
I have the paid version and I wish they would refund me because it turned to crap shortly after I bought it. Its slow now and there is no way to disable to automatic placement of periods which drives me apes***.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ksheth2130:
Give this a try; SwiftKey 3 Settings > Advanced > Uncheck box next to Quick "."
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Shadow Death:
Its not just the period. Shortly after released it had a pretty bad memory leak. Since then its just felt bad to use.

Edit : I'm not entirely sure what's going on or what changed but here lately I've had a lot if FCs. Fixing permissions didn't solve the issue then first time. So I ran it again which seems to have fixed it the second time but now they seen to be coming back.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] FirePsych:
I didn't like SwiftKey at first, but after testing for Beta 3 I began to like it more. It takes a while to tweak it to your liking, but it's pretty customizable.

The latest updated to SwiftKey3 has really smoothed things out IMHO.

But keyboard tastes are personal.

---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------

Which update? The pending rumored update or or 1.1 or whichever we're on right now?

Either way, from what I've read dirtyflashing isn't worth it. The time you save up front, you end up doubling down the road trying to fix things.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
Jester puts a wipe script in his builds anyway so you won't be able to dirty flash if you want to.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] arizonaomnia:
The update to this 1. Thanks for the advice.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] captainstarbucs:
Spotify is completely busted on this build. Is this so for anyone else?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
In my current test build here is what is fixed.

MMS WORKS FULLY

DATA WORKS WITH CORRECT ICONS (When you are on 4G it will not display any bars but this will be fixed in the actual release)

CAMERA AND CAMCORDER ARE BROKEN COMPLETELY (But these will be fixed for the release)

Updated Audio, Display, and Touch drivers for faster smoother usable and stability.

Anything that had problems with loading API 16 Resources is now fixed IE Google Play Music/Movies and YouTube!

Haven't seen the funky text bug back for a while but we will see as it tends to come back but hopefully dead for good this time LOL.

Simultaneous Data and Voice seems to be working!

I can't really think of anything else but overall seems much better. I'm still on the same test build I was before when I posted screenshots but liquid is busy at work fixing the other problems so I can test more stuff.

EDIT: Oh I forgot to test and yeah Netflix is still broken I'll remind him about that after everything else is fixed.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ksheth2130:
I am having issues with watching video in certain apps, such as ESPN College Football. Is there a way to get video working in apps that for some reason won't show up. I get sound, but no video.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] RBarnett09:
I had a problem with scrolling.

When a page on Chrome would load, it would only scroll so much to the left, right, up, or down and then it was quick to stop. Also... sometimes when I would try scrolling to the right, it would go left. Or when I would scroll down, it would go up.

Hopefully that's what you were talking about in the fixes.

Thank you!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] heath2805:
Did you try "MX player" from the market?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trter10:
That made it work for me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
Most these problems should be fixed in the new build because of the updated graphics stuff so just wait.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ksheth2130:
How would MX Player make streaming videos work within other apps? Is it not just an app to make downloaded videos or videos on your SD Card play?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] heath2805:
All I know is you can make it the default video player, because the one baked in the rom didn't work for me. Its Just a suggestion until the new release is here.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
I know it works in conjunction with Chrome to watch videos so idk it depends on how the app watches the videos like Netflix it won't work others it might.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
I just tried it on multiple videos through the default browser and it works great. Its a little laggy sometimes but that's better than no video.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DaRkL3AD3R:
Hey Link, thanks for the update.

Quick question regarding the messed up text bug you spoke of. Does it look like GPU artifacting? I've had my TBolt for over a year and a half now and I never saw any GPU related artifacts until I installed this ROM. Ever since I've been seeing the same glitches across all ROMS and backups, which is making me rather nervous my phone is fried/frying =(

I will try to get a screenshot of it next time it does it and then we can compare if it's what you are describing here.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] captainstarbucs:
Well, thank you for the response, but where can I find your current test build? The only thing I really need working is Spotify, I can wait out the non-working camera til Liquid/Jester releases 1.0.

Thanks :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mstinson23:
Spotify works for me on the current build...just tested it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] captainstarbucs:
I'll try reflashing, I suppose. Currently, spotify opens up and begins to play music, but it will not switch between songs. Sometimes it will, but it will just end up FCing 15 seconds in :(

At any rate, I'll re-download and flash again.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gruiz1122:
Pandora was doing the same thing. I ended up reinstalling and fixing permissions and it seems to have worked. Everything plays and skips flawlessly now. HTH!

I guess I will be going back to gingerbread til these bugs can be ironed out
[Thunderbolt Android Development] heath2805:
Yeah Jester stated he didn't want a bunch of test builds floating around, which makes perfect since. I'd rather them take their time and perfect the build anyway :)

For those requesting Jelly Bean already just hold your horses honestly most the JB features are already backported to ICS anyways. After ICS is 100% bug free than we can worry about Jelly Bean until then don't even ask about it because it's pointless going from one broken build to another.

Oh on a different note Torch is now included and works great!

I'm sorry I can't help you ...however, I can confirm that I'm now having the same problem. Very random when it happens and usually goes away soon or it just takes a restart.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
That's weird I've never had the problem on anything but Liquid's roms I ran the leak for a couple days without those issues. And been on the new build all weekend without the text issues. Getting rid of the text issues has never required a restart for me I simply restart Apex and it goes away because usually the text issue only resides in the launcher and not anything else.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bsdesign0000:
the battery life on this ROM is amazing.... i have an extended battery and with moderate use, i am still at 78% after 10.5 hours. DAMN! I have never seen a ROM conserve battery like this one before... i was running Skyraider Zeus for a week and after 8 hours i was down to 35%
[Thunderbolt Android Development] amwenguer:
Fixed
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JPBeard21:
For the people having the strange artifact bugs...

For an easy fix you have to have long press to kill app enabled in settings. 1.) When the bug appears, press the home key to go to the launcher home screen. 2.)Then long press back to force close the launcher.

This always works for me without needing to restart my phone. Hope this helps.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DaRkL3AD3R:
Thanks for the tip.

But for the record, is the garbled text and corrupted images known bugs for this ROM? Like I said I never saw those artifacts until I loaded this and now I see it in Gingerbread on Thundershed 1.6. It isn't limited to just text, I see it occurring as graphics artifacts in Google Maps when I had traffic layer added and the yellow/red roads appear as jagged spikes rising up towards the screen. Very bizarre, the type of bizarre artifacts that can only be related to a dying GPU. I've had more than a few die on my over the years in my PC and I recognize these artifacts anywhere.

I just don't understand why the ROM would trigger these artifacts in the phone, then cause them to appear in ROM's that never had any problems prior to the installation of this one.

Edit: I probably do understand what caused them, and it's permanent damage to the GPU and or memory that was brought on by the installation of this ROM. I'm not trying to come off as one of those "you broke my phone! curse you!" I'm just putting this information out there so if in the event this ROM did cause the permanent damage, maybe having this info out there can help people save their phones.

Of course, the new update could come along and fix this problem, but who knows. We'll see.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JPBeard21:
I agree with you and your reasons for the gpu theory. I too have had it happen in other apps as well but have not changed roms since this one and it only happened with this rom. But the force close launcher trick has fixed the issue across apps as well. If not, the same fix can be applied to individual apps.

As far as persisting across roms, have you formatted system partition and factory wiped? Maybe changed kernels?

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 PM ----------

I agree. I had an Atrix on AT&T before this phone and this phone was no comparison in power or battery life to the Atrix so I used this phone primarily as a hotspot and continued using my Atrix as a voip phone. I basically had to leave this phone plugged in or only had a few hours tops battery life. Of course that's with hotspot enabled. But without it wasn't much better. Now I can get a full day or two and with moderate to heavy usage. This rom made me decide this phone is worth actually using again.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mordant80:
I had the corrupted text with this rom but the issue did not follow. The only way the hardware really could have been damaged that I can see would be from overvolting or heat . Is the voltage to the gpu something that can even be changed? I've done a lot of of overclocking in the past and I have damaged a video card before. Sometimes you can bump the voltage on a video card to correct artifacts. This luckily worked on a video card I had that was artifacting and crashing at stock settings. I'm thinking one thing I'd try is to raise the CPU voltage slightly since as far as I know gpu can't be changed . Other than that I would think there's something software wise that stayed behind and would try a complete wipe of everything as suggested. Only other thing I can think is you've coincidentally developed a hardware issue as you're describing artifacts other than with text which I never saw. Hope this helps and hopefully it's not a hardware issue.
