Google Calendar sync issue

Great ROM, really smooth and fast.

However, I have a small niggling issue. I can't Google calendar to sync from my PC to the phone since moving onto the CM ROMs :confused:

I have everything set up correctly in Google Calendar and on the phone. If I put a new entry on my phone it shows up immediately in my online claendar but not the other way around? None of the existing entries came accross either.

Just to add some detail. ANy new entries in Google Calendar are reflected in MS Outlook Calendar when I sync. They also then make it form there to Touchdown on my phone, but that is a long way around and I'd like to be bale to access my google calendar on the phone.

I just get the "updating" circular arrows and nothing happens?

Has anyone else experienced this, or know a solution, thanks.
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
Clear the cache for google calendar:

menu->settings->applications->manage applications, press google calendar, press clear cache, then re-sync.
[G1 Android Development] MikLSP:
Can't see much talk about this which seems surprising but is there a fix for the very low camcorder volume when recording? Also I think the mic is very low during calls as I keep getting people saying I sound very quiet. How do we resolve this?

PS- I got fed up with the SD partitions and decided to run the phone without any, just an 8GB FAT32 SD. It was a great decision, the phone runs much smoother and is definitely more stable for longer rather than grinding to an unusable mess as it did on swap. So 32B Magic users, my recommendation is dump the partitions :)
[G1 Android Development] palexr:
Thanks Psycho.

I actually got round it by deleting all the recurring events in my Google Calendar and synching. I then rebuilt my recurring events by synching my google calendar with my MS Outlook one. Seems to have worked.
[G1 Android Development] domex2k:
I searched this thread but found nothing.

Am I the only one with app2sd problems?

When i installed an App it taxes from Internal memory and Ext, from internal it takes a small bite but with time it adds up.
[G1 Android Development] nyijedi:
That's normal - the app itself is being installed on your SD, but the data for the app is still on your internal memory.
[G1 Android Development] domex2k:
Ok Thanks bro
[G1 Android Development] coire90:
Sorry if this has been covered already but i read somewhere already but i read somewhere that pdf viewer (or reader, 1 of the two) was included in this rom but i dont have it. i dont know if it was included or not but i would like it back. i tried taking it from an old rom but it must not be donut compatible. if anyone knows of a link to it or any info at all i would greatly appreciate it.

:eek::confused::)

Thanks in advance

Also does anyone know of a program that lets you see and modify the ext partition for windows xp??

Anyone else experiencing problems with slow downs after a couple of days without a reboot? Rebooting fixes it the slow down for about a day, but then it creeps back up.
[G1 Android Development] MikLSP:
@ lancealtar

I found that problem with the swap partition. See my post just above, I have recently removed all extra partitions from my SD and found the phone to run much smoother and not to bog down after a couple of days.
[G1 Android Development] EWitsJan:
This ROM is fast as hell with Ubuntu's theme! I just found out today that you can go from 1.6 - 4.1.999 thought it was suppose to be 4.1.99-4.1.999 but its not. Now this ROM is super fast for me! :D
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Speaker/Microphone volumes

Good points on both! I've always thought the former should be discussed, but never got around to do it.. Part of the reason being that sometimes, sound on calls is actually OK.

But recently, I noticed that people can barely hear me, and I hear them unbelievably loud. Turning the volume down all the way still leaves speaker at really high level, so that I hear distortion and feel the plastic covers vibrate. Now I have my volume all the way down constantly, so in practice I have no control over the volume during calls.

Two questions: (PhychoI3oy, if you care to comment, please do!)

1. I know there had been modifications to the volume made by Cyanogen, mainly to fix sound recording issues (i think..if i remember correctly??). Did that affect sound on incoming calls as well?

2. Is there a way to go back to the "original" setup of the mic and speaker? I would gladly test it on my Magic, and post the results back.

Rephrase that: Is there a way for a developer, to try setting the values differently, to get the right setup, at least for Magic? Which files would have to be considered if one would dare to try?

[G1 Android Development] cqms13:
paragon partition manager will do it for ya
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Ditto, swap failures here, causing probs.

Don't want to repeat it all here, as it has been already reported in code.google.

The Swap partition seems to be one of the causes of the mentioned issue, ATM Most Starred in the bug tracker.

This is actually being discussed at a good place :D I'm just sorry to see it stay in /medium/verified/ phase for so long....
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
I went from a Hero ROM (another brief, rather sad experience), directly to CM4.1.999, of course through 1.6, as stated in Cyanogen's instructions. Never even tried 4.1.99. :D
[G1 Android Development] lindellmm:
Totally agree the CM is the best !!!!!
[G1 Android Development] G1-evolve:
CM's work is amazing!
[G1 Android Development] palexr:
No, well not yet anyway. How long was it before you got these problems?

I would second the request for info on the microphone audio levels. Video recording captures virtually no sound and I'm getting people telling me they are having problems hearing me.

I just speak louder :) This ROM is such an improvement in speed over any other it is worth it. i couldn't believe how much faster 4.1.99 is compared to 4.1.11.1 9or whatever it was).

Another big thank you to CM
[G1 Android Development] Alucardis666:
This rom flies with Ext4, I love the speed. And I'm using a class 4 2gb card with my G1.

My blasted 16gb class 2 card crapped out, guess its time to go for a class 6 :-p
[G1 Android Development] grivad:
I've been having an issue since I installed CM 4.1.999:

Apps do not seem to be saving data. I was running CM 4.0.4 previously, I followed the directions to install 4.1.999 and everything seems to be working OK, except that apps do not save data sporadically. I've noticed that, for example, I entered a number of entries in to Loot, and when I re-opened the app the next day, they were gone. Apps that have a EULA that used to ask me once now seem to not remember that I've hit Accept and they keep prompting me. aTrackDog seems to be forgetting my app versions and that I've updated them already, etc.

Does CM 4.1.999 do anything with the Data if it's reflashed over an existing 4.1.999? Any other ideas? Anyone seen anything similar? It's pretty annoying.

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] spaceboi:
I'm coming from a JF 1.51 build

Can i still follow theses steps or is there something different i need to do. my recovery image doesn't let me to chooses which of the updates to install first should i rename each file to update.zip one at a time then apply them as updates will that work. I want to change from JF to Cyanogen but dont know how.

spaceboi Help:confused:
[G1 Android Development] Nickedynick:
Just installed 4.1.999 and love it! Probably because it's got more 9s :P

Anyway, I know Cyan obv has a life outside Android, and it's early days but do we know if he'll be working on Eclair when code becomes available? Just saw some screenshots and a brief review via Engadget and it looks pretty solid!
[G1 Android Development] Orange Crush:
Do this first:

busybox apps cant resolve hostnames

It appears that busybox cannot resolve hostnames in the current version.

for example

busybox ping me.myhouse.org #not a real hostname btw.

yields:

ping: bad address: 'me.myhouse.org'

while

busybox ping 123.123.123.123 # where 123....123 is actual ip of me.myhouse.org

works

I am finding this for all programs inside of busybox (nc, nslookup, etc.) and this was not the case previously.

After googling all I found was this:

http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2003-December/044145.html

Its old but it might be relevant.

Has anyone else experienced this?

question ....can someone help answer please!!!

ok i have a rooted g1 with android donut cyanogen 4.1.999 now dont get me wrong or anythiing i love this rom!!!! but i wanted to ask....i wanted to try the blur just to look and test it now when i wipe and flash it with the blur rom and then decide to go back to the cyanogen rom...do i/would i need to put the official donut again then the cyanogen rom 4.1.999???is this right?just wanted to make sure....oh yeh cyanogen keep up the great work!!!You are awesome!!!!thanks
[G1 Android Development] foxtrickle:
You should be able to just type ping minus busy box. When I type in "ping www.yahoo.com" it works just fine.
[G1 Android Development] dumfuq:
I know there are 2 versions of ping.

I don't want it for ping. That was just an example. My point is programs inside busybox can't resolve hostnames.
[G1 Android Development] bartlett:
Can anyone help me add the extra audio resources? I know this mod doesn't include any (there is a linked zip file) I have searched the forums here and have only found a few people with vagues questions about and not actually a way to get these installed on my G1.
[G1 Android Development] bigl34461:
I have no calender. It won't open. I tried rebooting and tried the fix permissions thing. Anyone else having problems?? And I still need myfaves
[G1 Android Development] FastKatt:
If you want the audio resource installed on the phone try this:

adb remount

adb push .\audio /system/media/audio

after the push is complete reboot the phone
[G1 Android Development] p@riah:
Copy the audio resources to your computer. Unzip. Copy the unzipped directories to your SD card. Unmount. reboot.

Enjoy.

i had problem force close with touch input and touch input chinese keyboard.how can i fix this?
[G1 Android Development] samkash:

fantastic, this did the trick! thanks mate, you've been a savior.

fyi for others. if after you move over to .999 and everything seems to be fine but your browser is perm FC, then go to settings>apps> manage apps > broswer > then click clear data and cashe

my cashe was already empty, it was the data that was screwy. must have had something to do with my bookmarks

That happens when u didnt wipe b4 instal....wipe and reinstall that should do it i had the same problem.
[G1 Android Development] Xidroid:
Running my 32B with recovery 1.4 and had 4.1.11.1. I eagerly awaited Cyanogen's legal friendly update but wanted to wait a few days and see how it was running for folks.

I did a nandroid backup and placed the zip files on the sd card and backed it all up on the PC.

I wiped my card out and recreated the partitions. Placed all the files back on and booted into recovery.

Did a factory wipe.

Ran the HTC file and when it finished it went right back into recovery. I ran the Cyanogen file and rebooted. Everything worked smooth as glass.

Everything is running copacetic. Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] Pikkuhannu:
Just flashed with single method.

First wipe and reparted SD-card.

Backupforrootusers(:D) works, got apps back easy.

One thing i noticed, end button behaviour, when go spare parts and choose; home, then sleep -> nothing happens. Go to sleep works...

No big issue, must just get used to it...:rolleyes:

Otherwise works like a charm.

Thanks Cyan again...
[G1 Android Development] lindellmm:
seems that most issues like slow-down, blanking home screen....are resolved when I re-flash (no-wipe)

isn't there some way we can just refresh the rom without reflashing?
[G1 Android Development] Pikkuhannu:
Must go back to 4.0.4...

Scandinavian keyboard seem to f/c, cant live without it...

Otherwise seem to work...

Market not seeing my apps

Hello All,

I've upgraded my old cyanogen 4.1.1 to the latest & greatest and everything seems to be fine execpt two things :

- Camera : Still the language bug that was reported against 4.1.1 . I had to overwrite the APK with the fixed one.

- I've restored my apps that I had backed-up with MyBackup and when I open market they do not show up, which means that I won't get my updates :( I had the same problem last time when I upgraded to 4.1.1 , has anyone a solution to this or do I have to go an re-install every single app from market ?

Thanks for the tips ....

Regards.
[G1 Android Development] Pikkuhannu:
Did you mean uninstall app or rom??? :confused:

If app, i think try again... At least something to do rest evening.. :D
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Sorry for the ambiguity - I meant the app - Scandinavian keyboard.

Rom started to hang and force close on the android os after about a weeks or so of use. Reinstalling to see if it helps.
[G1 Android Development] pistol4413:
looks like it might be a radio issue not a rom issue what radio do u have?
[G1 Android Development] Pikkuhannu:
So i think about it... :)

So i just flash, but got fc--> wipe, reinstall Scandikeyboard and now works.

Apps are in ext4, almost all work, some i must reload in market.

Looks good now... :)
[G1 Android Development] lotherius:
Trying to figure this one out myself. I've had this issue with multiple rom's. the longer I use it, the slower it gets, even if I reboot, kill tasks, uninstall apps, etc. I thought at first it was due to certain apps, but I can reinstall ALL apps or NO APPS, and it is always fast the first week or so regardless of what apps I have installed, and after that the phone starts to slow down again until I reflash. Does this happen on non-rooted phones?
[G1 Android Development] kirandeep:
You have to reflash rom, fixed all my signal probs, ihad bars dropping out losing calls etc. No need to re wipe just flash both htc update then cyans rom
[G1 Android Development] ID#:
My feedback after a week of testing:

The system seems to need some time to get fluent. First it was very laggy and slow. Now it's ok, excepted the AdvancedLauncher. It takes a few seconds to open folders. I think it's because I have installed about 100 apps.

It is stable, but not really fast and it eats tons of battery. With 4.0.4 the phone runs about 3 day's, but with 4.1.999 i have to charge it every day :(

Conclusion:

stable

nor fast nor slow

eats tons of battery

not every app works, I think it's because donut (app's fault)

Keep on developing, genius :D
[G1 Android Development] Shane2:
If you have the knowledge, do a better job yourself... Genius!

One annoyance about this 4.1.999 though (Don't know if it is the browser or the ROM) when you type a URL into the browser and press enter, it navigates you to the first suggestion, rather than the URL you type in, which is pretty annoying
[G1 Android Development] sillyshyme:
i love this rom but when will a new update be out?
[G1 Android Development] SxxxA:
Hello everybody, this is my first post and I'd like to say, I'm glad to be here!

I've been enjoying the CM 4.1.999 very much so far, and yes it has issues, lots of them mentioned here, but also a lot more in the bug tracker.

I have been following this thread and it's creators' activities since 4.1.999 came out, and in the past few days I've been noticing some changes in the tags (those things "thermonuclear war", "economic crisis", etc).

Maybe Mr. Cyanogen is going to hit us with a new release soon, and just trying to make sure that the thread can be "properly found" by the people using the Search function??? ....Hehehe :D

Thanks everybody for all the info, and of course, special thanks to Cyanogen for creating this awesome, super fast ROM!

I'm not sure if the "one click" root method was fixed in 1.6, but if it doesn't work, then I would go with the old fashioned rooting method which involves going back to Android 1.0 (RC29) and rooting with the keyboard bug.

yes I'm using the MT3G...yes I do :D. I'm guessing it was just an issue with the Recovery image thinking your phone is a dream and thus not allowing you to flash a Ion image

So basically you were able to flash the HTC ION recovery image on your MT3G by first downgrading the recovery image to 1.2.1?
