My GPS is working so well it gets stuck on lol. I have to open maps or browser to make it go off. I'm on build 12.

Sent from my CM7 Slide using the XDA App
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] F0rgiven:
I've had a similar problem as you. What I did was download build 12 and gapps and then did a factory wipe; then flashed the update.zip file; then flashed build 12 and reinstalled new radio again, and then GPS started working again. Idk what step did the trick, I'm guessing reinstalling the new radio. But yeah after that, GPS is good to go now.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] katbastard:
got it fixed, wiped, then reinstalled everything... but the new radio, do i have to reinstall this after a wipe? i did not think so...

Revisions

I was

having problems with WiFi in all CM7 nightlies and RC1

, but now seem to be connecting (and staying connected) with cm_espresso_full-11. Bluetooth pairs properly but does not connect when making calls or playing music (same in CM7 nightlies and RC1).

On a side note it might be beneficial if those who were having problems before (WiFi, BT, GPS) indicated it in their posts. Some have no issues while others do (hardware revisions maybe).

According to SetCPU, I have HW rev 0080. Does this differ on anyone's device?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mrchezzy:
um okay i just hop on the cm7 i wanted to try it out and i can say i i love it um the only thing i see that is killing me is that the wifi was working fine for a few hrs and now it just stop it just keep saying conneting and does not scan at all anyone have a clue whats up with that
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mrchezzy:
never mind ........
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] rlswaney73:
I also have HW rev 0080 and have no problems with Wifi, BT, or GPS.

Build 13 is up. Cant tell whats new, but it seems to be a tad faster (coming from nightly 11)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Etype R:
Build 13 fixes the menu screen unlock option.

*does happy dance* :p
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sherman8or:
It still wakes the phone though. And build 13 ads profiles and some graphic changes.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] rlswaney73:
profiles? I've seen some of the graphic changes but havent seen any profiles... what kind of profiles were added?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] midnclb:
im on 13 and menu no longer unlocks the phone but it does wakes it. Also the volume buttons now work to switch songs while playing with screen off :D.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sherman8or:

I went back to CM 6 because of 7 losing sync with Google all the time. I don't know if its an isolated incident to me or what.

I love how my phone looks and just want to share.

I am running the Cyanbread Theme. I am also running ADW Ex with a HoneyComb ADW Theme. I changed some icons around (the theme comes with tons of other icons that are not HoneyComb). I am using Screen Transition 4 to get that HoneyComb transition "feel".
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] tmobilewinguser:
not sure if anyone knows but theres a new gapps it's 20110307
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bunu:
I'm not sure but I had bad experiences if I flash gapps when I already flashed gapps and updated them through the market. Like once youtube, gmail, and google voice was foreclosing. I had to uninstall, reinstall, uninstall, then reinstall it to make it work and I lost all my settings.

Don't flash gapps unless you are doing a full wipe.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SKAm69:
Looks like RC2 is coming because it's already there for HTC Vision.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lilshortwun:
aw man if i had known that i wouldnt have flashed 13 just now
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] tmobilewinguser:
i always do a full wipe and so far im not having any problems with the new gapps
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] tmobilewinguser:
the only problem im having with 13 is that it says i have a damaged sdcard but then when i reboot it goes away its like every other time i reboot it say my sdcard is damaged anyone else experiencing this.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] purple1:
Same here but I just took out the sdcard then put back in
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] deltron zero:
flashed build 12 yesterday and today wifi stopped working, just as it did in cm6.1.1. this time i have nandroid backups for m 3rdsense install and for cm7 build 11 (only flashed 12 to try to get gps working better, but would rather have wifi over gps haha).

gonna backup and install build 13 now, maybe reinstall the radio as well.

oh well, if it still doesn't work i guess i'm going back to 3rdsense til it's fixed

EDIT:

flashed 13 and it didn't help with wifi so i restored 11 and all is well again...until the next major update
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lilshortwun:
rc2 was just released. its practically the same size as build 13 so id say its mostly the same
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sizzlechest:
RC2 is up!

Don't forget to use the new GAPPS: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/latest/7/universal/
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dancingtortoise:
has battery life gotten any better? cm6 battery life was good but i noticed cm7 drained the battery a little quicker.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] angelo420:
Damaged SD!

I just flashed RC2 and it says damaged sd card.I tried rebooting and also took out SD card nothing works .What do i do?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] gravis86:
Try putting it in the phone, booting, then go to Settings>Storage>Mount SD Card.

If that doesn't work, boot into recovery, wipe and install the ROM manually through recovery. Judging from some other threads, it seems to be caused by updating through Rom Manager.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] angelo420:
i downloaded to my pc and put the file on my sd not through RM and i already did a full wipe. i tried mounting sd and i still get the same msg.Ok so i tried my old class2 8 gb sd card and it worked. Could this be a issue with the class of my sd card?I have a class 10.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] gravis86:
Hmm :confused:

Maybe try formatting the SD through recovery? I really don't know I'm just throwing out ideas.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sherman8or:
I had this happen to me yesterday on nightly13. all i did was turn off my phone and turn it back on and it went away. But speaking of the memory card, i have a weird problem with it. say i download a file on my phone and it saves it to the memory card. i have to turn off my phone and turn it back on for it to show up on my memory card on my computer. and its only cm7 that i am having the problem with. i just tried cr_mod and the file would show up on my computer without having to restart my phone. anyone else having this issue?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] gtmaster303:
CM7 RC2 is using a new kernel??

i was having problems with OC soft reboots and wifi...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sizzlechest:
Installed RC2 after a complete wipe of and a wipe of the Davlik cache. No reboots or anything like that. Seems to be pretty much the same as the previous (rev 5) except maybe a little snappier. Wifi is still not working for me and now GPS looks like it's hitting less satelites.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] PcFish:
That happened to me on 13. I just rebooted. Try going into storage in settings and mount/unmount the SD

Also, which do you guys recommend. RC2 or 14 lol they came out on the same day.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lilshortwun:
wtfawk 14 came out lol
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Irisservice:
alot came happen in 2 hours and 42min lol
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lilshortwun:
i flashed 14 along with the latest gapps but the gapps don't show up.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dancingtortoise:
Where did you get that? I didn't see it posted anywhere on the official cm website...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] PcFish:
It's linked in the official slide CM7 RC2 thread on the cm website...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dancingtortoise:
ok thanks. i dont see why they dont put it up on their mirror site. oh well, i had the older gapps and it worked fine.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sizzlechest:
I wonder if 14 will fix the GPS issues that had been fixed in rev 5 for me? Maybe RC2 has a "stable" yet broken implementation.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] droopypillow:
I've been on rc2 since launch with zero problems..wifi and gps works great
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Irisservice:

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sherman8or:
How did u get wifi calling to work?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Irisservice:
never did do anything,it has worked for me before rc1....and its important for me as no (0) signal in my apartment...now i get calls :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sherman8or:

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dancingtortoise:
i like it but my battery life sucks. oh well, ill just wait for the final release.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] deltron zero:
so i updated to nightly 14 afer rollling back to 11 when 13 lost wifi...and wifi is back!

it says the version is "....03072011-NIGHTLY" is this the correct version you guys are seeing for build 14?

Lol it took quite a bit of time ;-) I'm hoping to release the theme I blended soon.

Battery life is good though. I cleared my battery stats a while back maybe that helped.

Sent from my CM7 Slide using the XDA App
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dancingtortoise:
Is there any special way to clear stats to make it more useful? I had the cliq and it suggested charging to 100%, turn off your phone and charge to 100%, repeat then clear stats. Just curious, thanks.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Smokem_I:
There are lots of ways. I did it the way you explained though. Just remember to let the phone die all the way after clearing stats.

What happens if you just open the wifi calling app from the drawer and just press the on button? (@whoever was having issues with it)

By the way, the menu unlock was fixed, for all of you that were bothered by it. And supposedly the hebrew update notification menu was also fixed back to proper English.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sherman8or:
It said connection error.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] gtmaster303:
depends on how old the battery is and how hard you're working it. if you're running 10 apps all the time with wifi on, and brightness all the way up, then you'll know what happens.

but i can get my slide through a day comfortably with wifi on and brightness all the way up. as long as you can make it through a day without chrage, does it really matter?

just charge it in the night
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Taylortron3030:
Hi again. Ya, I think you might find that cycling your battery a couple times then resetting your batt stats might improve your usage reporting.

From what I have heard, and tried, you need to let the phone completely run dead then charge it for a while AFTER it says it is at 100%. I would guess that this lets the phone find the batteries true limits. So, charge it way up then let it drain all the way down till it turns off. Charge it way up again and try wiping your batt stats at that point.

I think you already know what I mean. But, I don't think that a battery issue would actually be related to how CM7 is running though.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] beartard:
Hope I'm not talking out-of-turn, but has anyone noticed problems correcting text with Swype?

For example, say I want to type "see" and Swype interprets it as "set." When I double-tap to get a word-choice menu, Android pops up a copy/cut dialog as well. After backing out of this dialog, I can't choose the correct spelling in the Swype popup.

I'm using nightly 14 with the latest Swype beta, always re-installed after each new nightly flash. I'm also using the "honeybread" theme chooser theme, if that makes any difference.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Taylortron3030:
Hi, ya, I have the same thing happening. I bet it is because Swype hasn't worked on getting Swype to work properly with 2.3. But I am pretty noob, so that guess is basically useless.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] deltron zero:
Nice name taylortron lol.

anyways I installed 14 over 11 and swype sometimes refuses to input certain common words in mid sentence. The blue keyboard outline would just blink and I have to type it out...

Also, some stuff won't save between restarts. For example I have to set facebook to sync and rejoin some of my contacts (i use a synced google account) to their fb profiles to get their pictures back up after every restart. Accounts and sync in settings deletes the fb account when I restart.

Wifi was starting to fail on the school network (open), which had me worried, but seems to work fine at home (secured).

I will do a full wipe and reinstall 14 once I get to work. Hope things will run smoother, but for now I'm not restarting my phone lol.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] beartard:
I used to re-install Swype every time I'd flash a new nightly. I found that changing the input method to android keyboard and back to Swype prevented the blue outline (with annoying beep) from happening.

I also had to set Facebook, Twitter, and a few other accounts back up after re-flashing until not too long ago. CM7 seemed to have fixed it, and even though 2.3.3 seems to have some teething troubles, I haven't had to reset facebook lately.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] cidica:
well back to the trackball unlock not working again with the newest version. Annoying but not a show stopper for me just annoying.

wiped my phone and am on build 18. everything's running smooth now, but noticed some weird stuff like initial setup trying to restore/recover apps that i had previously installed before i wiped (kinda cool but got confused over which apps needed data to be restored through titanium when i did a batch restore).

only other issue which i've seen since 11 is that after i restart the phone i have to go back into facebook to sync with existing contacts. i moved facebook back to the phone memory and now the facebook pictures don't get added to my contacts (the only reason i sync facebook).

on another note, is it possible to get the htc sense dialer on cm7 or at least t9 in the cm7 phone app? the dialer apps in the market that have t9 entry don't sync pictures or are missing some features. i'm using dialer one and the pics won't show up even though they're fine in the cm7 contacts/phone app.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lips2286:
18 running smoothely however, not sure why but wifi seems to be eating a ton of battery...obviously I know this can vary on use but id say I used less wifi today than usual. Only dif is flashed b18 from rc2. Anyone else seeing more than average battery use when wifi is on? Maybe wifi is not sleeping properly...how can I check that?

i am using build 14 and smartass kernel
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Taylortron3030:
3 things I do to try extending the length of time between charges (aside from not using my phone very much):

-I rarely run programs that KILL your battery, like Google Maps.

-I almost always have my screen brightness slammed. Even at 10% it still accounts for around 50% of my battery usage over 24 hours.

-I only have BT, WIFI, GPS on when I am using them.

Hopefully something there helps you get a bit more time.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] agentg1001:
I also recommend turning on your data only when you need it. It really saves battery. Like I can keep a 100% charge for hours and hours w/ data off
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Smokem_I:
Yes that's what I do when I'm working. Especially if you are in a area with low signal. Searching for signal kills your battery very quickly.

I think I'm just lucky. I've flashed pretty much every nightly since before RC1 without a full wipe and haven't had any major problems.

I have on data and GPS from 6am when I go to work until I get home at about 5pm, and then turn on wifi. Wifi is on until about 10pm when I go to bed, and my phone is usually at about 50% when I plug it back in to the dock.

I've seen so many different problems, even after full wipes, that it makes me think that minor hardware revisions on each slide causes them.

I work for a major computer company, and you can have the exact same notebook as the person next to you, but they may have found a new hardware vendor or even a minor hardware update that can cause all kinds of problems. The specs are identical, but the results aren't.

CM7 seems to be progressing and addressing the bugs pretty well, though, so I have to applaud them. Especially on a phone that they could have just abandoned.

Wow, that turned out way longer than I meant when I started. I need sleep lol
