Was running 8/30 with no tweaks, tried to open contacts and screen stayed black, a call came in but screen stayed black. I tried to answer the call w/ bt, but that wouldn't work all of a sudden, so I answered with the hand set. The call connected, still locked screen, then another call came in, couldn't answer the call waiting but maintained original call, then phone vibrated a couple of times, then vibration locked on continuously, wouldn't stop. Finally said goodbye and pulled battery.

Rebooted, bt broken (won't turn on). I had one "vibration lock" with 8/28, but I didn't have to pull battery, just held power. 8/29 was "bt broke" on my hero from the flash, so I nanded back to rc1. Tried to flash 8/30 over rc1, but it boot looped every time, so I wiped, and it flashed fine. Everything was working except mms (both ways), and camera / gallery issue. 8 hrs of moderate use took me down to 21%.

So anyway, back to RC1 again....

Oh, yeh, and I haven't been able to nand+ext on any build after rc1 that I've tried. I always get the "run....via adb", with full power and wipe.

I'm sticking with the rcs... they are the most stable and with the uncapped kernel they're blazing fast!

Okay I imagine this is something everyone is aware of, but I'm a forum stalker and I've never seen it discussed. Does anyone know why whenever a music program is playing (e.g., Pandora, stock music player, etc.) the phone slows WAY down? It's been like this with every froyo build I've had, and that's pretty much every nightly and the RC. Just curious if anyone could shed light on the subject.

Froyo Hero to the rescue
[Hero CDMA Android Development] R2D2-AKU2:
Thanks for that! Worked like a charm!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pitmanr2003:
Is there any benifit from using apps2sd and putting it on ext partition versus the native way that cynogen uses just putting it on fat32 partition
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I know... I'm running the uncapped kernel at 768 and it still happens to me... It's really the only flaw with this rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Minnesotacus:
you know i think on every build ive ran since ABOUT 8/15 ive had a problem with the screen turning black and not letting me see any thing at all no matter what i do the screen is still responsive and i click on the apps in my launcher dock but i just cant see anythin when the app comes up, the only way to fix it is to push menu and go to the wallpapers then it just goes back to normal doesnt happen that often but it dos happen
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nspot:
When using FroYo's ability to move applications to SD, is the application stored on the Fat32 partition or the Ext partition?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TP2DH1:
Just flashed the 8/31 nightly over the CM6 Ext Blue rom with no tweaks. Batt seems slightly more stable with this rom. Deleted the battcfg and will let it die then charge. So far running smooth! Except the phone does not see the Sprint Airave in standby.

I do not use the apps2sd program, however a majority of my apps are on the sd card using the 2.2 settings. Apps that use wigits are left on the phone so they function correctly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LancerEVA06:
MMS working on 8/31? Also is it responsive like the 8/25?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Soundfreak82:
I noticed this today while using an automated system as well. At first it was working fine, I was able to enter some account information the system requested. A few moments later, I was asked to make another selection and the system kept asking for the information as if it was never entered. What's odd is that I can hear the touchtone sounds from my phone, but the are obviously not being transmitted. I confirmed this problem by repeating the call, and again, after initially working the touch tones stopped working after a while.

Hopefully this is something that could be worked out before the "stable" release.

Thanks.

(I'm a bit tired now, but if need be I'll gladly logcat the problem tomorrow if anyone is interested)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LancerEVA06:
I don't think its the ROM. I experience this every time I tried calling my work's sick line. Even in stock unrooted state.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Soundfreak82:
I made many calls of this nature when I was still on stock (or even darchdroid 2.7/8 for that matter) and never had the issue. I'm inclined to think the issue is indeed with the CM6 mod.

I knew how to before but cannot figure it out.

Thanks

[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
Go into the facebook app and sync setting is in the app, lol !!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bigjustinturbo:
Go into Contacts, long press on the contact's name and then select Edit contact. Then hit Menu, then Join. It may suggest a Facebook contact if the name is close enough, otherwise you can browse through your friends and contacts.

You need to have "Sync with existing contacts" or "Sync all" selected in the Sync Contacts menu setting in the actual Facebook app.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Androidious:
The one MAIN issue I noticed on 8/31 is that the wifi connection does not work properly. I am able to enter my ssid and the correct pw to enter my secured network, but once this is done, it connects, then disconnects, saves the pw, then reconnects, then disconnects and ends the cycle as disconnected. After trying again and again, this cycle just continues (2x each time I try to connect). I've wiped several times to try fixing this issue, as well as tried many different kernels, including the default CM6 kernel, and many of Decad3cnce's different kernels as well to no avail. Hopefully this issue can be addressed at some point.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stricklerjosh:
I know how to do that lol...I don't want my facebook synced...I use syncmypix.

Thanks though
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stricklerjosh:
exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CrashV2010:
I use the Sync my pix app as well, and I like how it puts your cashe on your sd card.

Is it just me or the gps doesnt work with thw 8/31 built?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kenbanks:
Does it not work for you at all or is it just slow to acquire satellites?

I've had gps trouble since the RC1.

If I leave the Compass app running in foreground for several minutes, the gps starts behaving better. I just wish it didn't take several minutes to acquire enough satallites.

Sometimes, I'll have to swap teh Compass app from foreground/background/foreground to force it to get a fix. After doing this several times, then it's pretty steady.

I've tried clearing my Data and Cache and reflashing, plus flashing the previous radio, but have seen no improvements either way.

I have not been able to find more information regarding the gps what it requires to perform optimally.

Anybody care to advise?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Do this... nandroid your current rom (cm6) then wipe, and flash fresh 2.4.0. Once booted on fresh, use and app that will give you a GPS lock, like maps it navigation etc. Leave your phone on that app for a few minutes to make sure it holds the GPS lock... then nandroid back to cm6 and GPS should work! Pm me if you need anything, I know this works on rc1 and I'm pretty sure it works on the nightlies too.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] mdsj:
I know I have said this a few times, but it seems to keep coming up. I use the 8/28 build with the #9 Kernel and gps locks instantly like it should. So for those of you that must have gps than I would try that config. If that don't work than try anything else I guess.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ErikM1970:
Thanks... I checked and "Audible touch tones" is checked. The tones work fine until the call is connected. Any additional dialing to navigate a calling system is where things go south.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ErikM1970:
Yep,

I checked that and all is good with the setting, it is just as if the phone doesn't want to behave after the called party answers. :mad:

Thanks for the feedback nonetheless,

Erik

Soundfreak82,

Can you let me know which ROM version you are using? I was considering another recommendation to update my ROM from the present CyanogenMod-6-08-172010-NIGHTLY-Heroc to its August 25th counterpart; however, before doing so, I'd like to know what your ROM version is.

Thanks,

Erik
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TP2DH1:
Running the 8/31 nightly flash over the CM6 Blue dev rom no wipe since both are CM roms.

Lastnight deleted the battcfg file and charged. Turns out meeting with a buddy today the way I did it was incorrect. Turn off phone, charge to green, pull off for 10 seconds and charge to green, do this about 10 times or until it goes green within 2-5 minutes. Delete battcfg file and immediately unplug phone or delete cfg file in recovery, run to dead and charge with phone off. This will first tell the battery its full potential before giving a fresh charge and create a new cfg file.

Battery is 56% 7 hours of use with an hour of phone calls. Best its been on 2.2 and close to 2.1 if not identical or better. After doing a batt calibration it should be better.

Also was shown how to switch between different dev roms and restore part of a backup using advanced nandroid. Turns out he also said not to skip the first screen to enter an email address..Bypassing this step and entering an address later will skip market links. Lots of cool tid bits on Android.

I do run Advanced Task Killer, its setup up using safe mode and kill on screen off. Some programs still run and unlike other phones BB, Treo etc a running program is not necessarily using any batt/cpu. Using Handcent is a good scenario..even with stock messaging app settings off it will still run but not receive msg's or use any batt..Sort of the program saying I am here use me but not actually running.

Have a # to call Spring Airave Tech support tomorrow or now if she is still in the office to try and configure the phone to get the Airave working. Difference of a -47db signal to a -105db using cell towers.

Amazing features!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
Hmmmm I think it has worked for me, but I havent tried recently so dont remember what version I was running when it worked.

Have you tried speaking into the phone saying, "beep, boop, beep!" :-)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kermtfrg:
I'd love to know what they tell you to do. I've got one running here as well and can sometimes get -80db but have never seen anything near -47db.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] PrO...:
I need some help, I need the sprint core.apk.I've looked to no avail... My VVM will not work and I don't remember my password for the old school VM.Please help me out,thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kermtfrg:
oops....duplicate post
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Just uninstall the VVM you have now and then install it again from the apk that I have (look below at my signature) That might help solve it... as for the password, you may have to call sprint and have them reset it for you, that's not really a rom thing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ErikM1970:
Since the phone is not showing me the love, I refuse to speak to it whatsoever! ;-)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ErikM1970:
Have you tried installing only the Sprint_VVM.apk? I do this via adb and it works perfectly everytime.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PrO...:
Thanks once again.I hope it works for real this time cause i need to hear my VM!LOL.

9/01 is up already!! About to flash now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raz699:
9/01 nightly is great so far. Gps locks instantly with 6 foot accuracy outdoors and 9 feet indoors. Linpack 4.5 with jit. Fast game play with no lag. Usual lwps work but no others that I have. Still getting false vm on reboot. Gallery no longer locks up from camera but still gets distorted changing to landscape. Getting close!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TP2DH1:
Does your phone stay on the Airave in stand by? Not sure how to word why the Airave doesnt work and explain 2.2, might not be worth the trouble. Worst case may ask for an update to the latest Airave that does data.

Did a 2.1 recovery tonight to update the prl and the Airave immediately worked in standby. Flipped between a few other dev rom backups on the sd and none worked with the Airave in standby before ending up on the 8/31.

The radio is the latest release..wondering if its in the carrier settings, the 2.1 carrier codes do not work on 2.2..Not sure if the roms modify the stock Sprint carrier info?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nspot:
Possibly?

I'm becoming suspicious of that myself. I have timeout issues with the XDA app, even after countless re-installs and permission fixing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 151jcolon:
i'm was testing 9/01,is great but ,same issues for me gps searching and mms recived but not sending, i will back to 8/22.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] daryelv:
Both issues have been addressed ad nauseum in these forums...

GPS- go back to a 2.1 HTC based ROM (Fresh, InfiniteFX, etc.) and get a GPS lock there. Nandroiding back to CM6 it should be working again.

MMS- search for the latest mms fix zip file. It fixes a few things in the apn file which should also fix the telephony.db.

Otherwise, keep the blinders on and keep posting repeated information...

JakeJM79 this fixed worked for me! Thanks so much! I'm on CM Nightly 8.20.190 kernel 2.6.29.6.

Thanks much!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LancerEVA06:
I flashed the 9/01 Nightly on top of 8/25. Everything works, no major issues. The Gallery still has bugs from switching orientation, but that's more of a lack of hardware issue. MMS is blazing fast at sending and receiving.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kenbanks:
Thanks, impaler.

Before I do this, can you explain what you think could be the mechanism that makes this work? I would like to gain a better understanding myself, so that I can feel confident in what I am doing to my phone. Theoretically, since I have root priviledge on my phone, I should be able to make a manual adjustment that could possibly accomplish the same result. Although, whatever that manual change might be, it could be a lot more time-consuming and difficult when compared to flashing/reflashing fresh 2.4.0 and cm6. :(

If you can explain your theory as what occurs with the gps when doing this, that could help everyone to gain a broader knowledge for how the gps feature is architected.

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Basically, when flashing cm6, something in the GPS process us "ignored" in the cpu. Whereby flashing fresh, the GPS is allowed to connect, and will keep this connection when you nandroid back... I don't know a lot about GPS stuff, I just know it works :)

jey bro, I'm not bombing the rom or saying something bad about it, I said the rom is great but still having the same issues, I know the process to do for fix it. bye bye ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smolck:
Well, I must admit, I tried one of the new Zen roms and it was ok, but when you are used to Froyo and no Sense, it is hard to go back. Today I have the #4 brainfuct kernel running at 729 on the 9/1 build and I am getting 6900 benchmark PI scores and 5.1 MFLOPS on Linpack. I know, I know, they are just "benchmarks" but they are pretty snappy for a Hero.

Thanks to CM and his team (Darch) for the greatest ROM in existence for our underpowered heroes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nak131:
does anyone know why there are two 9/01 nightlies? are there differences? im running the first 9/01 nightly with no issues, just wondering if it's worth flashing the second one or to wait for 9/02. thanks

[Hero CDMA Android Development] CyborgNM156:
I have been having this issue since oh I say about 8/26-8/27 when the "Market Issue" crept up. And let me say I know that had nothing to do with this ROM persay. So if I am outta line posting here by all means move this to the appropriate forum. But seeing how I am using CM6 now on 9-1 nightly...Perhaps someone has\had the same problem.

No matter what I do using AppBrain or just the Market app I keep getting these dam force close on trying to download these 3 updates. 1. Handcent SMS and 2.Droid Battery and 3.Clockwork ROM manager. All of these apps I have removed and re-installed and then tried the market again...Still shows they all 3 need to be updated. Obviously when I am re-installing I am installing the last version I have prior to the updates that both sites say I need. Should I go into manage apps and wack all the updates for all 3 of these apps? Or is there a fix for the market itself? I have removed AppBrain and re-installed but that did not fix the issue either.

Now I have not been wiping anything on these nightlies I might add..And I have never had ANY issues other than the ones mentioned here. I have noticed the GPS issues as a lot of others have. But on 9/1 has ZERO GPS issues and locked in a matter of seconds. Also, I only can get ANY data via WiFi...<---A whole OTHER issue. But I know the fix for that. I just need to have my phone added with my Provider...Which is MetroPCS blah blah. I can get SMS and the Net of course now that there is a nice Proxy Setting which I hope that remains in the final build.

Anywho...Market issues anyone? Is there a way to wack the market.apk and re-install it? I have cleaned cache on just about everything I could think of..Re-set defaults etc on the 3 apps in question. Suggestions?

What I need is

Handcent SMS Version 3.2.9...Again I am NOT able to get to the market and I can't get on WiFi at the moment...

After further investigation ALL I need is Handcent SMS 3.2.9 I have the other versions I have NO idea why it keeps saying that I need to update the other two I have the latest of Gauge Battery Widget and ClockworkROM Manager. Hmmm interesting...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nak131:
Ha good point, but you never know what new improvements exist in new builds until you flash them ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
The apns-conf.xml file from CM6 doesn't contain any information for Alltel. I have no experience with them so I have no idea what the correct settings would be.

I would suggest cracking open the apns-conf.xml file and seeing the information that is needed and then contacting Alltel and seeing if they can provide you with the info you need.

Give this a try:

Use only if on Alltel. Nandroid 1st.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmartin72:
Can't stop flashing or the clowns will eat me!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sotvonline:
Tried and no luck, thanks for giving it a shot. I will have to see what Alltel says for MMS to work right. I wish I would have kept my original apns-conf.xml file before rooting and adding Cyanogenmod so I would have something to compair too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Have you tried reflashing the Google Apps?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dr.Jason:
GPS and WiFi

I'm running the 8/23 nightly. I normally don't have WiFi enabled on the phone, but turned it on to get Wireless tethering. Then I noticed that Google Maps thought my location was Shanghai China. Turned off WiFi and my location went back to San Diego. Turned WiFi back on and was back in Shanghai. Not a big deal, but just wondering if anybody else had a similar problem? Does this mean that GPS does not work with WiFi on?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
What it probably means is that either wifi throws gps way off, or more likely, maps was trying to get your location via your IP and was wayyyyy off. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
The 2nd part is likely correct.

If I have Wifi on and am at home, Maps will show my location right at my house within 80m, if I have it off it shows me about 1 mile away but +/- 2400m (I'm still in the big circle). I do find it a little weird that it can but it at my doorstep just by knowing my internet connection.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lostnfound53:

I checked a number of sites talking about MMS for CDMA on ALLTEL and from what I gather there needs to be a port, not sure if it is just port or mmsport but I have tried to edit using Root Editor or Astro but can't seem to edit the apns-conf.xml file.

Could you make another Alltel MMS Fix.zip file with this line for CDMA??

Not sure if it is the right one but here it is...Remove the spaces in the h t t p (can't post links like this below I guess, not approved yet)

<apn carrier="CDMA" mcc="310" mnc="120" apn="" port="" mmsproxy="" mmsport="8080" mmsc="h t t p://mms.alltel.com/servlets/mms" type="mms" />
