Followup to Jester's assistance re my bluetooth problems.

A while ago I reported that if I initiate a call on bluetooth I couldn't successfully talk (the other party couldn't hear me) but if I recieve a call on bluetooth both parties can communicate. Jester suggested a couple of ideas but I wasn't able to fix it. In addition almost all bluetooth devices wouldn't pair. I believe a number of people also reported these problems and some have indicated that this issue would preclude them trying the rom.

Well, first I love this rom (thanks Liquid and Jester). I developed some kind of unrelated problem and I lost my lockscreen. So, I decided to reinstall. I used 4EXT to do this (as I did before). I selected superwipe for 3ext then reinstalled.

Well, voila, bluetooth now works perfectly including stereo earphones for music, same earphones for phone calls, and even voice dialling works perfectly too. Finally, I was able to connect a bluetooth keyboard to it. I'm even typing this on the keyboard.

The rom is the best I have ever used over past 8 or so years on perhaps 8 different phones, and 20 or more roms. I starting with the old Windows mobile.

Re hotspot function. On my first install and this second one the native hotspot function worked perfectly. I had as many as four devices attached at one time. No dropped data. On this second install I decided to try Wireless Tether because its access control function provides double protection along with password encryption. At first it didn't work -- external devices would recognize it but not connect. Then I tried fiddling with settings. I found that for me I set my phone as the Google Nexus (there are three listed and I selected one of the first two, I don't remember which) and I changed the channel from 1 to 2.

Now, it too works perfectly..

Haven't done much yet to test the video, but I usually stream video using the hotspot and now, the WiFi Tether application anyway to either my Kindle Fire or to my HP Touchpad, and both work seemingly perfectly. So far its been PBS Video (which I highly recommend) but I'll expand the testing to other sources.

Long email (sorry) but just wanted to let everyone know that, for me, wiping everything and reinstalling the rom took care of bluetooth problems for me.

Thanks, Jester (you work magic) and the very fluid Liquid. Contribution on its way.

I'll have to give that a shot.

So I've been using this from since the day it came out and its been awesome, but now of a few days ago I'm having some issues. I've been running the combo radio and now my data all of sudden is not stable and I'm not getting 4g, switching back to the .19 radio. And also now when scrolling some pages and applications the screen goes white.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tanium:
Same, well 5 days or so on the rom, last two days the phone only has 3G.

First 3 days was great.

Running the .19 radios no combo, just the radio that came out with .19

I'm on the gnex now, but the thunderbolt went to my 23 year old son.

Loved the rom at first and he still does, but going nut with the 3G.

I know this sounds crazy but we live by Detroit and our phones here like only do 4G.

3G is super slow and the browser will even have a pop up all the time saying check setting when on 3G.

Any body know what I can do to get the 4G working again.

The toggle don't work.

Thank you
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Ellises:
Flashed my radio back to .19 (the one linked on the front page) and now my data is even worse, on half the time. And also i booted back into cm7 to test out the data and not even that rom has 4g now, so now im wondering.

---------- Post added at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------

For 4g somehow my network mode changed itself to a mode not supporting lte, changed it and now that's fixed. Odd that it happened.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] brizey:
Wait...are you saying you formatted in ext3 instead of ext4? Trying to figure out which typo you made. :P
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tanium:
Well I will admit, I was at work and trying to help my son over the phone when I posted the issue with 4G.

Don't know why the toggle didn't work.

But in network setting he had cmda checked.

Put it on the other and 4g popped back up top on the status bar.

So user clicky fingers was our issue.

I learned you just can't pop a rom on someone's phone they actually need to learn a bit to.

If you don't understand what a clicky is don't click it :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JBaxendale:
Yes. I used 4EXT, the recovery application, and I used Superwipe 3EXT, the option within 4EXT, prior to installing the rom. I believe that is the correct, or at least preferred, procedure. Works perfectly for me.

James,

Thanks for the feedback. I have been having the exact same bluetooth issue, along with the bodies of emails not showing up from time-to-time. I found that if I initiated a call and switched to handset audio I could hear call progress. If I then switched BACK to bluetooth I could hear the call normally in my earpiece. Receiving calls has never been a problem.

I have been using CWM for my recovery app. I'm going to try 4EXT and see how things work out. I'm with you, have been running different ROM's since the Windows Mobile days on an older HTC phone. Have been really happy with Chingy's Gingeritis 3D v1.2 for a while now, but this ROM is really, really great and 98% stable. Once we can get an official release to pick apart it's going to really take off.

BTW, WiFi Tether works great with profile set to Google NexusOne, WiFi-driver reload checked, and Routing fix checked.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
I took my max speed down to 245. Haven't had a problem yet.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bikerbob1789:
I agree on both of these points. This ROM is great. And Google Now, while the features are great, it is just too slow. Is it possible to easily remove it and go back to the old style Google search? Or do I have to start with Liquid's build and add back other stuff?

Thanks.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gobraves00:
Just download the old Google search.

anyone having issues with AwesomeBeats? It will be working fine, then all of a sudden if I get a notification about a new email, or a text message while i am listening to music, the AwesomeBeats stops working. I will have to close my music app, open Google Play (for some reason that turns it back on for me)... then back to my music app and continue listening. I have also experienced this same issue without getting any notifications, it will just stop working... in some cases I have to completely reboot.

That doesn't happen with mine. It doesn't work with headphones in slacker radio and some of the other internet radios.

Pull the battery for 3 seconds, replace battery, boot immediately into recovery from the bootloader, wipe dalvik, then run fix permission.

Reboot phone and your problem should be fixed.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] paul1035:
I haven't seen this issue posted before, but on my home screen, the clocks on the widgets keeps getting stuck. I wiped the phone with 4ext this morning and did the 4ext superwipe to see if the issue would be fixed since others have had luck with that, but about an hour ago the clock on both my widgets stopped changing again. Anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions on how to possibly fix it? The widgets I'm using are BeWeather and FancyWidgets. If I do a restart on the phone, it works again for awhile but eventually gets stuck again until i restart it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheEditor:
Currently running the .19 radio and originally had no issues with this ROM, other than HORRIBLE battery life, but the last three nights it has totally lost data. Reboot brings it back and 4G works but overnight it is dropping data totally.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] norman1080:

I have been experiencing the same issue. Not sure what to think about why it would be happening. Any thoughts?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] thewebsiteisdown:
I was using the .9 and my 4g dropped off eventually completely and wouldn't come back. I reflashed everything back and moved up to the .19 combo and my 4g was still turned off. I checked and it was set to cdma only...... I went back to lte / cdma and 4g came back after a reboot...

I had formatted everything like twice using 4ext by the way when siwtching back to the .19 combo.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] [SP]JESTER:
sounds like your launcher is getting closed... Are you running a task killer....
[Thunderbolt Android Development] .SoFLy.:
Flashed this ROM about 2 hours ago and have spent much of those hours getting everything setup. So far very fast, responsive, and clean. Using the 6 bar mod helped. Speeds are good, did 2 speed tests in OK areas, was getting around 6000kbps down.

Haven't run into any issues yet, but the wifi on this device in the last week or two has been absolutely abysmal; this has nothing to do with the ROM (the previous one was having the same issue). Only thing I was missing was the ability to change the icon size, but that's a shortcoming of Nova, not of this rom.

For those of you curious, I'm running the leaked ICS radios 2.00.00.0308r, etc. Just flashed it yesterday, only had 1 reboot & working well.

Great work guys :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] paul1035:
No, not using any task killers. I don't have very many apps either, but I will try using a different launcher and see if I have more luck with that otherwise. Or would upgrading to Nova Launcher Prime possibly help? It's not a big deal anyways, just thought I'd throw it out there. This ROM has been perfect for me other than that; thanks again for everything!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] .SoFLy.:
OK, I've hit my first problem. Icons don't show up in the status bar... for a text they do (just to display the message), then it disappears. The stuff is in the status / notification bar, just no icon (which I NEED).

Any idea on how to fix this?

[Thunderbolt Android Development] Diocrew:
Thank you for this ROM. So far this is the first ICS for the Thunderbolt that I can get running half way decent. I have been running it for 2 days now. For those who are interested I am running the 1.49.00.0406w_1 and 0.02.00.0312r radios (not sure if these are the radios that were also posted in the OP. I am getting some data dropping with the 3G and 4G seems to be working well. I haven't tried bluetooth but wi-fi is working fine.

One thing I don't understand though is that the Signal Strength is showing 0 dBm 97 asu under the "About" tab. Anyone experiencing this too?

Thanks again for this ROM. I really appreciate your hard work on this.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] driodman98:
Does wired tether work in this build? Currently the only reason I still use Gingerbread is the wired tether. I could use this rom as my Daily if thats fixed. Anyone know if it works. I prefer wired instead of the wifi tether due to gaming latancy and I dont want the possibility of others seeing my network.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] gab1972:
I've also been getting some System Process FC's. I've been hitting "wait" and let it work through, but I'm going to try what someone else suggested:

"Pull the battery for 3 seconds, replace battery, boot immediately into recovery from the bootloader, wipe dalvik, then run fix permission.

Reboot phone and your problem should be fixed."

Also, I'm going to second Maluuba also Utter (done by an XDA guy). Maluuba is starting to grow on me...as is Utter. Maluuba allows you to use more of your natural voice, has a nice UI (I happen to like the Metro look), and is categorized nicely. Utter has a bit more functionality as far as the phone is concerned, but requires a specific command line. For example, you can ask Utter things like, "Toggle WiFi", "Open 'app name'", "Kill 'app name'", "What is my battery level/temperature/status/etc", "Superuser reboot", "Set sound profile to silent", among other things. I'm using both to try things out. I love Google Now on my Nexus7, but it's a bit slow and freezes up on this ROM. So there are alternatives.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] thewebsiteisdown:
Yes, same issue here. I think this might be part of the problem causing reboots but I might be wrong.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gab1972:
Approximately how long should "Fix Permissions" take? I'm going on close to 10 minutes now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] thewebsiteisdown:
I've never paid attention to be honest. I would think just let it go for about a half an hour, then give up.

Edit:

On a side note, liquid stated today might, be a big day for another release. Crossing fingers here on my side.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gab1972:
Never mind. I read that if you restore app+data from other ROM's, it could take a while. Mine went about 15 to 20 minutes. Patience is key I guess.

EDIT: I wiped Dalvik and Fixed Permissions. I'm still getting this:

Process system is not responding. Would you like to close it?

I've just been selecting "Wait".
[Thunderbolt Android Development] intense21:
battery life?

how is the battery life on this? does it have deep sleep mode? Currently running, liquid smooth ICS 7.0 desensed 36 v1.1 and the battery life is really bad. Have to charge it like 3 times a day. Already tried using a script and NoFrills CPU to set to 243MGHZ.

no complaints here. battery life has been much better than that of gingerbread for me. no annoying battery drainage after phonecalls. i can't ask for more.

It's fantastic, but that might have something to do with the fact that it turns off data and WiFi after a few minutes.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] tuckandroll:
embedded flash videos dont work on ICS this is a known issue. Flash has stopped development and most sites are working towards HTML 5 so eventually it wont make a difference. In short if you want embedded flash vids to work go back to a Gingerbread Rom.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] heath2805:
Superwiper is a zipped up file you flash and it wipes everything. No need to wipe anything else after flashing zip. So basically, flash superwipe and then your rom of choice. Here it is, I use it all the time. http://db.tt/ltWpDaAO
