I must say that battery life on this ROM has shaped up quite nicely. To those who are complaining about massive drain (not between 90 and 100%) give your system a while to even out. I have flashed all the nightlies except a handful, and the day after a flash always has improved battery life.
[EVO 4G Android Development] PlankLongBeard:
I am, it looks like its evening out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dan0412:
I just installed RC2. Anyone else notice the display doesn't time-out? It is set at 1 minute however it dims to about 30% - doesn't turn off.

EDIT: It's still on 'dim' for the past 5 minutes.

wish the download didnt take an hour! wish there were some mirrors lol. although i can wait for this one!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Stephanie95:
Whot Whot?

If this ROM came from a nexus one froyo, why spend all the time to re-create the wheel? Wouldn't it be faster to "Hack" a EVO ROM?

Imagine:

HD video streaming off the internet faster than the play speed- no pausing no lags...

Downloading a 700meg movie file in 11 minutes not an hour! :eek:

My 3G downloads are 700kbs-1.1megs

Everything seems great so far on RC2. I hardly ever post hense the 7 posts. When i turn on the USB storage it does not do anything. I cannot even see it as a drive. Any ideas guys. It has always works since 8\11 nightly.

Note: This phone did not even exist when i created my user name.
[EVO 4G Android Development] battousaix:
I'm having the same problem. I purchased Beautiful Widgets on the previous Sprint rom and now that I flashed RC2 it is stuck on downloading and whenever I click cancel download it FC's. Is there a fix for it or do I really have to reflash and start all over?
[EVO 4G Android Development] PlankLongBeard:

There's got to be something breaking your system, mine has been on for 65 minutes now and my battery is still at 100%.

I'm on the 14th nightly with Snap kernel 7.01.

Which wifi tethering is working on this with 4.0.3a?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DraginMagik:
... i did. i disabled DSP for the phone speaker. think i had it configured poorly.

... i have no issues with adw rotation.

--------------

... have you tried running the -snap kernel with CM6? it had big impacts for my phone.

---------------

... try launching the download from a couple browsers at the same time...or start stop the dl a few times. seems to have helped others.
[EVO 4G Android Development] PlankLongBeard:
We can flash Netarchys kernal, nothing breaks? If it is like that, this should help my battery issue, or just do a fresh install.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
I've been out of the CM6 loop for a while. Has the 3G speed and voice signal strength been improved? I was having problems with this using the early August nightlies.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nate735:
Weird, its showing 8/16 as the latest nightly on the cyanogen forum. It's not 8.16 yet so im a little confused. Which one do i download for RC2. The one on the OP or the 8.16 version ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmlott:
I apologize if this has been posted... I did search as much as I could on the xda app on my phone.

Can someone running RC2 confirm what kernel version is stock on there?

Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bdelbenes:
Mirror for RC2

Here is a mirror for RC2 and the new gapps.

update-cm-6.0.0-Supersonic-RC2-signed

gapps-hdpi-20100814-signed

Have fun everyone!
[EVO 4G Android Development] rockky:
Totally agree.

Used to be the quickness of Cm6...set it apart by far from all other ROMs...now its imperceptible from Calkulins etc.. Andwithout key functions like 4G and others, it's not a player for tne time being anyway.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
it's pretty beastly now. 3g speeds have actually improved (for me, at least). i'm not sure if it's the rom or better signal, but i'm seeing a marked improvement over the past few nightly builds.

stock is .32.
[EVO 4G Android Development] herzzreh:
Google search and voice search won't install here. Looks like an old issuewith messed up build.prop
[EVO 4G Android Development] bdelbenes:
You need to install the new gapps... I posted a mirror for them above..
[EVO 4G Android Development] axlebot:
Just so you know, nightlies are based on their build time which is in turn based on GMT. So in England it is in fact 8/16 right now.

[EVO 4G Android Development] dan0412:
If I wanted to reflash just this kernel (2.6.32.15) without reflashing the RC2 ROM, where do I get this file? I need to rollback - I flashed netarchy-toastmod-4.0.3a-signed.zip over RC2 and I am getting some weird results. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
why not just flash rc2 over it? that should do the trick.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dan0412:
I wanted to try that as LAST resort. Will reflash rc2. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] PlankLongBeard:
Not yet... Using the Snap Kernal, I am unsure of the SD partition... do I HAVE to partition? Or could I just do flash the zimage as we used to on the nexus.. lol..
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrkmrk:
Yeah, I mean... you can flash it without a wipe, and all it really does is give you the kernel back. Other things, too, but if all you changed was the kernel... all you shall have restored is the kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SleepyS40:
I had this issue too. There is a new setting somewhere, I cannot remember where atm but its something along the line of. Lock home. I thought it was to lock adw launcher from being closed in a low memory situation but it wasn't I found out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rajah sulayman:
I just re-wiped and re-flashed RC2 (in order to try out the USB fix).

Why is Market autodownloading every app I ever had, and how do I make it stop? I really don't want to manually cancel each of 50+ downloads.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nikkoo00:
Go to Settings => Applications =>Manage Applications => Market => Clear Data
[EVO 4G Android Development] rajah sulayman:
Brilliant. Thanks. I figured it was something in Manage Applications but I didn't think to clear Market data.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dan0412:
Thanks all.... it worked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rajah sulayman:
No matter which remedy I try, I can't get my damn phone to charge unless I power it off first. I've scoured the entire "fix" thread and nothing works.

It's obviously due to the new kernel, as the 08.11 nightly worked fine but none of the nightlies after 08.13 do. Much as I adore CM, I don't wanna be stuck on RC1 forever. If I can't find a fix I'm going to have to go back to Ava. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
This is not a known issue, it is only happening on your phone. Try a wipe and fresh install.
[EVO 4G Android Development] RTbar:
So you can't do dialing codes with this rom? Also, does anyone know of a sense style dark notification bar that I can dl with icons?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rajah sulayman:
I know. I've said that myself.

I did. Multiple times. Here, here, and here.

I know it's not a "known issue" insofar as it's not happening to anyone else. However I also know that it's almost certainly the fault of the new kernel/latest builds, and as this is a CM6 thread, I was kind of hoping someone might have some insights.

Or, at the very least, offer something a little more helpful than suggesting I do things I've done over and over in the past.
[EVO 4G Android Development] freddyamazin:
It's simply amazing so fast and smooth! !!!! Battery life is okay I guess.

Will do ! Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] dude2k5:
it says you have to format the mem card? Is it worth it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] PlankLongBeard:
Yes, Yes, Yes! Flashed 7.01 at 52% and bout 30-45 mins lost 2% (heavy usage test) at 1115/128 I was like whoa! This is amazing.

Does the snap kernal work on others such as Calkulin?
[EVO 4G Android Development] PlankLongBeard:
No format, that's for advanced.

Just flash. You'll be fine.

Yeah, no dice for me. How bizarre.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joackie27:
Other phones may not that be great as compared to the Evo. But we don't decide on what phones the CM team works on. And for what phones they prioritize their work on. We're already lucky to have CM6 for the Evo. And it's absolutely FREE! The other features will come when they are done with it. If you don't have the patience to wait, then by all means flash a different rom or develop your own rom.

Now with regards to the missing features, AOSP is built from source. They can't just use HTC's wimax (4g) implementation as that is not open source. If people know better than the CM team then by all means hit them up so you can contribute.

Some people here are just spoiled brats who thinks they can demand others to do what they want.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sdbarker:
Interestingly enough, regarding the exchange issue, if I put in a fake email address and fake password, when THAT fails, I get the advanced settings. But using my real email address and password, it never happens. I'm definitely confused.

EDIT: Looks like you only get the advanced settings if you specify a domain that doesn't exist as your email address.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tek818:
I'm having a strange issue with RC2 that I didn't experience with RC1...

I was able to setup the sync relationship with my Exchange server just fine. Only issue is, my Junk email folder is now being sync'd and upon first sync, I am being bombarded with new mail notifications for my unread junk mail.

Is there a way to specify which folders are to be sync'd so I can remove the Junk folder?
[EVO 4G Android Development] derrickj:
YOU guess he is in the wrong thread?!? He mentioned that he was waiting for all the fixes and encouraged the development to continue. The fact that it works for you doesn't preclude him from making his comments. Please note, the "works for you" means you have an HTC Evo. Perhaps Ghost has an HTC Evo 4G.

Can someone getting amazing battery life using cyanogen with snap share your settings? Are you using any setcpu profiles?

Nice job CM team.

Flashed RC2 and Snap 7.1 and I can really tell the difference from RC1. It's much smoother and faster. I had a 12XX quadrant, now it's 15XX!
[EVO 4G Android Development] e-motion:
Not sure why but every time I've used Juice Defender, it killed my battery life. I just run the 08/14 nightly with Snap 7.01 and I get at least 20 hours on a full charge. No SetCPU (I don't ever install that), but I switch to airplane mode with Tasker between 11:00 pm and 7:00 am every night.

Also, my brightness is at the minimum most of the day, as I work indoor. Only times I have the brightness on automatic is when I am outside, which is usually less than an hour a day. I might also add that my 3G signal is outstanding with almost full bars all day. That said, I switch to wi-fi for about 5 hours out of the 20-25 I get from a full charge.

I had the charging issues starting with the 8/13 nightly, after a couple full wipes with RA I finally got 8/15 to charge via usb. Since trying to flash RC2 and 8/16 nightly, my issues have returned. Both cause the usb charging to stop working. I've wiped multiple times with AR.

Restoring back to my 8/15 nandroid still works fine.

[EVO 4G Android Development] PhantomApollyon:
Awesome ROM so far cyanogen!

Now, what makes little to no sense to me is that with DC3.2.3(2.1) and netarchy's 3.7.5 I get about 36 hours of battery life with setcpu on 384/1113 on demand and screen off set to 384/384. With the 8/11 nightly I was always somewhere in the neighborhood or 20 hours, which is a SIGNIFICANT decrease. This seems be the case for Froyo in general however and as much as I love the new features, I cant see them being worth taking the 45% hit in battery life. If this is any different with RC2 I will report it here. Anyone have any input?
[EVO 4G Android Development] herzzreh:
So it will work fine even though that thread says you have to format? Did it move your apps to the card?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xcopmanx2:
There are two versions.

7.x1 is for those who don't want to format and don't care about crazy quadrant scores and the I/O performance increases, but it has all the other tweaks

7.x is the one WITH the format necessary. It has everything 7.x1 has, plus the i/o increases for SD.

RC2 is amazing. Very fast and with a little work my battery is doing.. ok..

My one single big gripe is after using RC2 for a day and testing 3g speeds randomly I have noticed that 1) SpeedTest no longer knows where I am and 2) my 3g speeds are half of what they were on the last sesnse based rom I was running. I'm using the latest radio and PRL 60669.. 3g speed has gone from an average of .9 - 1.6 mbs to .3 - .9 mbs

Aside from that this rom is amazing, as always :)

[EVO 4G Android Development] lafrad:
Alright, after being completely flustered with my GPS being flaky, I decided to fidget with things.

Turns out, at least, on mine, I can reproduce some of the issues by futzing with SetCPU.

It seems that the GPS sensor just cannot get a decent lock on position if I have setCPU allowing a min of 128 Mhz. Doesn't matter what kernel, rom, etc.... if I set the min to 128 mhz, GPS will barely, if ever, get a proper lock.

If I set the CPU speed to ANYTHING higher, GPS becomes more reliable. The lock is near instant if I set the min speed higher than 512 mhz-ish.

Does anyone else see this?

[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
Damn. This is still happening? I was just thinking about jumping on to RC2...

Are you experiencing a problem with your signal strength?

These are the only two things prevent me from coming back to CM6. I don't have these problems with any Sense based roms. Even roms that are stripped of all the Sense/HTC crap.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nebenezer:
Signal strength has been normal, around -85.
[EVO 4G Android Development] notasimpleway:
Are you going by the amount of bars you have? If so, then you need to check your actual signal strength. The bars are not a reliable way to tell signal strength. One bar on CM6 is like 3 on Sense.

[EVO 4G Android Development] nebenezer:
I don't know if this was directed at me. If so then no, I never go by bars.

They are nice to get the general idea of whether you are connected or not and if you have a sweet theme they can be nice to look at but they aren't worth much in terms of displaying useful information.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ninjack:
I had that issue a few flashes back. Your Email.apk is corrupted. You need to use a program that can see the system root, and delete the email.apk. Then reinstall a fresh one and reload your exchange settings.

Also make sure you goto to settings and delete your Exchange act first, then do the above steps.

RC2 works great except I still can't get a GPS fix! What gives, am I the only one? It stopped working about 2 weeks ago in a CM nightly and hasn't worked since. I did a full factory/cache/dalvik wipe before installing CM RC2, and have the latest radio update. Can anyone help?

Hmm has anybody been having issues with their wifi? Tried turning it on today at work and it just turns off right after.

[EVO 4G Android Development] axlebot:
I'd say nand backup, and try a sense rom to see if the gps works there. If it doesn't, take it to the store you bought it from, because your gps radio is broken. If it does work then, wipe, and install RC2. If it still doesn't work after a full wipe then, come back, and we'll try something else.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ZombieRace:
So far, this is an excellent ROM. I haven't run into any major issues so far. If I find any bugs, I will report back.

I absolutely love how flexible the UI in this ROM is, ADW settings notwithstanding. Been tweaking anything and everything!

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] lafrad:
I had that same problem until I started "up-clocking" the CPU in SetCPU.

on STOCK ROM's and Kernels, the CPU is cruising along pretty fast and GPS ahs no problem.

On Modded ROM's and Kernels (with lower clock minimums and tweaks for better battery life), the GPS seems to have trouble with the low clock speeds.

Have SetCPU set to a 512 minimum Mhz and see if you get a GPS lock. if you do, then you just have to start futzing with the minimums and frequency scalers until you find the right combo that gives you good battery, but also allows gps.

This would also cause SpeedTest to fail locating you properly... to whoever posted that...
[EVO 4G Android Development] sblum:
In my experience, after flashing a new rom (especially after wiping cache/dalvik) the first GPS fix takes a long time - I am talking 3-5 minutes here. After that the timing should be normal.

On your launcher page hit Menu, go to Settings->Call Settings->Voicemail Settings->Voicemail number, and change it accordingly. If you use gmail, you can change the option above voicemail number to google voice, if not change it to your own number.
