If there are fixes to the small bugs found in this rom from 4 days ago... why werent they incorporated into the RC?

And why arent the instructions and necessary patches found on the first page like every other rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jtc442:
Exact same here!! I watched it literally drop from full to 88 in 15 minutes. Got rid of setcpu, still running good after 4 solid hours of being on here doing tons of downloads, etc.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
I read the post. My point still stands. Poor signal or not, he was trying to make a case for that being good/satisfactory battery life. That was terrible terrible battery life. I'm not sure if you are familiar with any 2.1 roms but, a good 2.1 rom could net you 3-4 times that battery life under the same exact conditions.

No knock against Cyan or the rom. I'm sure it will be figured out.

be aware... -snap allows for significant undervolting. this can (and often does) cause oddities on certain EVO's...not all EVOs can handle such low voltages. for example...my wifi and gps were negatively affected by low voltage.

I'm currently running damage 3.5 and thinking about trying this rom out since damage doesnt get many updates. Just wanted to make sure that if i do a nandroid backup and then wipe my phone I can get back to the damage with the nandroid even after wiping. Sorry, I just got my first android in June lol. Also, how well does the rom work in general and does the "roam only" feature work fine? Thats a big feature I missed from my palm pre.
[EVO 4G Android Development] krazyflipj:
Yes u should be able to nand restore back to damage. Make sure to complete wipe before flashing cm6. Also, make sure to flash gapps after flashing cm6 before reboot. Roam only works great

Headphone/headset button doesn't work with Listen, etc

Listen (and some other apps) used to let me start/stop playback with the headphone/headset button, but doesn't work since I've been using hacked ROMs. Also I would expect the button to hang up calls (not sure that ever worked...)

Any way to get this functionality back?

[EVO 4G Android Development] nebenezer:
So I hope you guys can help me...

I heard this rom was overrated and I wanted to find out for myself but I'm having a little trouble. I can't find the rating anywhere! I mean how can you know if it's overrated if you don't even know what the rating IS??

So does anyone know where I can find the rating for CM6? Is it on a scale of 1-10, 1-100? Is it on a scale of red to purple? I'm so confused.. And what's this about popcorn? You guys are putting kernels in your phones? doesn't that get messy?

Sorry, sorry. My specialty is bad-form jokes..

I've unintentionally become a big fan of AOSP. I always just use what works best for me and I am not a fan of Sense but some of the sense based roms are nice. I just kept coming back to CM so I decided a couple weeks ago that I was tired of moving and was ready to unpack my boxes :D

I haven't had any luck with non-CM6 kernels but I haven't spent much time trying to find one that works for me. I'm pretty thoroughly impressed with CM6 as it is anyways.

Thank you guys for all your hard work, please keep it up! :D

Ok so heres a quick question. The CM Roms have the coolest picture gallery. I love how its kind of 3D. I'm almost postive that the gallery is almost the main reason I love CM roms so much. But... is it the only rom that has the cool gallery?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nebenezer:
Nope, that gallery has been implemented in Sense since 2.1 on the Hero (at least that's the first time I saw it)

[EVO 4G Android Development] psych2l:
Actually I'm not really a fan of it. The UI looks nice but if you have a lot of pictures on your sdcard it takes forever to load. Anybody know if there's a barebones alternative gallery to view pics for CM6?

Has anyone gotten the vibrate function to work for text messages? I love the rom but I feel like there are a few things here and there that don't work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] krizno:
Cant get rid of the text unless you instal a new text program and uninstall the mms.apk but then you cant send pictures you can always blacklist the number in your get text program and turn of the notifications in the mms.apk that should work well as for visual voicemail set up voicemail in settings/phone settings then google sprint visual voicemail download it install it then you should be set

somebody plz fix the freaking WIFI disconnect issues. its so annoying have to toggle back n forth just to get wifi working. n yes i do have the wifi settings to never.
[EVO 4G Android Development] krazyflipj:
On main messaging screen, did you tap menu>settings>notification settings? You can adjust when it vibrates and vibrate patterns.

Are you running stock kernel? If so are you using Titanium Backup?
[EVO 4G Android Development] krazyflipj:
I agree the gallery is slow in loading pics. To people who have anything above a class 2 sd card, does it load faster?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kevinbear:
So this time I not only wiped everything with Ra (twice), but then I used it to flash CM6. So far so good! Let's just hope the apps don't decide to suddenly disappear again!
[EVO 4G Android Development] krizno:
Yea I always wipe with ra cause clockwork don't do it right half the time
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
This is no WIFI disconnect issue. It is something you are doing wrong on your end.

What kernel are you using?

I am on WIFI 24-7 and my WIFI router is broken in three places, it's a POS, and is years old and I never disconnect.
[EVO 4G Android Development] krizno:
You shouldn't be so angry for something you didn't pay for chill out things don't happen over night make sure the bug was reported on the developers site and if not do so and wait like everyone else don't be so ungrateful flash the stock sprint rom un root your self enjoy fully functional stock evo and then sound ungrateful to them not to the guys here trying to build you and everyone else the best rom possible
[EVO 4G Android Development] krizno:
Apparently it happens to some people very few every 50 pages or so
[EVO 4G Android Development] kevinbear:
Apps disappearing again

Nope... apps are disappearing again :-\

And it also doesn't want to let me install anything anymore (sits on "Installing…")

And I get the "Computing…" message on lots of stuff in Application manager.

So weird…
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
I understand that but, there are a WHOLE LOT of factors that can go into this issue occurring and you can't say "fix the WIFI issue" without providing more info because there is no wifi disconnect issue with the rom. It is either a problem with a particular kernel, your router set up, etc. etc.

I have been on CM6, and several other roms, for a long time now and people always come into the thread and say "fix x it is broken" and then a couple pages later, that same person comes in and says "forget it, I figured it out, it was something I was doing on my end". So, before you blame the rom, try to figure out what you have done/doing on your end to have this issue occur.

That. is. all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
I missed the problem you are having, can you explain it again?

Same reason I stopped using CM6.

wifi disconnect problem

I've had the wifi disconnect problem both on stock CM6 and snap 8.1. Yes, using TB.
[EVO 4G Android Development] phillycreamboy:
I have discovered that having bluetooth on is killing the battery. Why is bluetooth using so much battery even when not connected. Is it the driver?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kudosmog:
Just for posterity, I am also having problems with WiFi on Cyanogens Rom, and only Cyanogens Rom. Fresh install, same settings as other roms, and Cyanogen destroys my battery. It looks as if WiFi is the problem (100% on, won't let the phone sleep, etc). If it's set to always be awake, it will still "hang" as if it is looking for a signal. (I'll be surfing the web and it will just stop opening pages) It can take up to a few minutes to do anything.

It happens to me while I am using my router at home, my router at work, my router at different sites, or while running off someone's free wifi.

If I flash a different rom, the problem magically goes away. My battery is rocking again and my connection doesn't hang.

As far as isolating the actual problem, I'm not sure how to go about it. All I know is the problem exists on CM6, and nowhere else. Any suggestions on logging the problem is welcome, I'd gladly do whatever testing I can.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
Don't know how to explain that. I've been seeing the best battery life EVER using CM6 and on WIFI.

Either way, some of the Snap kernels have exhibited WIFI issues in the past. If you are using a Snap kernel, reflash CM6 final over your current install. No need to full wipe but you can wipe the caches. Just make sure you are running the stock CM6 kernel after you are done flashing.

If you are still having the problem, go into your wireless settings and forget the network you are trying to connect to. Try to connect to a different network if you can to see how that works. Then, reconnect to your preferred network to see if it will work.

Also, as someone was eluding to before, when you restore with Titanium, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT that you make sure that you PAY ATTENTION TO THE DATA that you are restoring. Often times, restoring data from other roms/older OSs, will mess things up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zimmy6996:
THANK GOD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM!!!!

I was talking with the folks on IRC the other day, and basically they thought I'm crazy. Yes, I have the same problem. If I leave the bluetooth enabled, it drains the battery. Even with no bluetooth device connected. Primarily because the device never sleeps then. Same goes for WiFi.

And like others, I run different ROMs like BakedSnack v1.5 and have no issues at all with power. Heck, in BakedSnack v1.5, I would leave Bluetooth, GPS, WiFi, and 4G on full time, and with my 3500mah Seidio battery I could still do 36 hours ... No, I'm lucky if I get 12, and that's with no 4G (not available in this ROM) and with WiFi turned off.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
This was a problem that was widely reported in the earlier builds and I though that Cyanogen had fixed it for the final CM6. If not, yes, this is a documented problem. I don't use bluetooth at all so I have never come across it. You might want to bring it to Cyanogen's attention somehow. Maybe via Twitter. I know a lot of people DO use bluetooth so hopefully Cyanogen can get it fixed for yall.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
Make sure that nothing is causing a partial wake lock by check out Partial Wake usage in Spare Parts.

WIFI shouldnt go to sleep and it shouldnt drain your battery. If you are going by the bar in Spare Parts, that means nothing, it just shows you how long you have been on WIFI basically and it is not draining battery.

Also, I would suggest that both of you try Snap 7.3. I have found that to be the best all around kernel that I have EVER used. Good battery, good FPS, good stability, etc.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kudosmog:
I don't understand it either. I have the issue with stock kernel, and I've tried Snap static, 850, and 875. All gave me the same problem.

Forgetting the preferred network shouldn't have anything to do with it, however I actually have tried that while at work on a site call. No change.

I never did a restore with Titanium. At first I don't think I even had Titanium. I wasn't going to try restoring the messed up settings. I just kept re-flashing new.

The one thing I didn't try was re-flashing the ROM after flashing the KERNEL. I don't see how it will change anything seeing as how I have the problem with stock kernel, but it won't hurt to try, so I'll give that a go.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
One thing that I have noticed in CM6 that is different from Sense roms and can attribute to bad battery life is, CM6 does not shut your 3G radio off when you enable WIFI. Sense does. So basically, you are running your WIFI radio AND 3G radio at the same time if you just enable WIFI. Battery killer. I manually enable WIFI and manually disable data. Works great for me.

As for Bluetooth, I don't think I have ever enabled that but it has been a documented problem with CM6.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
This will get rid of the kernel that you just flashed and revert you back to stock.

Anyway, as I suggested in another post, try Snap 7.3, test, then come back and tell me how that works for you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kudosmog:
Sorry what I meant was my WIFI wasn't letting my phone sleep. My awake time was the same as my wifi on time. Is it supposed to be like that? I'm re-downloading spareparts now to see if my terminology makes sense

And, I think I was using the newest SNAP. I will also try getting Snap 7.3 and trying that out...see if anything changes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
Definitely get Spare Parts. I would also suggest getting OS Monitor as well as it will drill down to EVERYTHING that is running on your phone. Use that with caution though.

Also, did you have bluetooth on? Seems like CM6 is still suffering from the bluetooth wake bug.

Also, just so everyone new here knows, and someone like shift can attest to this, I was the KING of pointing out CM6 battery issues. THE KING. But, since those earlier builds and the introduction of Snap, battery life for me on CM6 is great. There is also a learning curve with CM6. It is bare bones. It is AOSP. You control the phone. Sense is not babying you. You have to take control of the phone and get it to work how you want to.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kudosmog:
Never use bluetooth, but GPS is always on. I never even thought to look at that (again its always on with other roms but no battery drain...still worth looking into though)
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
Definitely a possibility. I only use GPS when I need it no matter what rom I am using so I can't speak to that.

Also, I would uninstall Google Maps and install Brut Maps. Brut maps is a modified Google Maps and I have found it to be great and less buggy than Google Maps. Search for Brut maps here on XDA.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kudosmog:
Might as well, I'll give that a shot too =P
