Hi shift... How would I go about doing that? Also, when I go to Accounts & Sync settings page, it shows a sync error for my facebook account. Everytime I try to have it sync, I keep getting a red exclamation mark and an error saying " Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly". Is this normal? It wasn't doing this before.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mlin:
First off, I totally agree with your first statemtnt. I have been so pleased with this iteration of CM and its the first time that I have actually had decent battery life with a CM ROM. Yesterday I got 10 solid hours of use while non-stop tweaking the ROM, i.e. personalizing settings, nand backups, theme flashing, wiping and nand restores (multiple times), playing angry birds, about 90 minutes of phone calls, many texts and emails, and a few youtube videos. My screen was on for a large portion of the day and I was still able to get 10 hours. I imagine that under my normal use I will likely get 20+ hours which is about normal for me on Sense ROMs.

In regards to Facebook syncing, I am not sure how to get the calendar to sync and display, but if you want to have more control of the syncing of contact photos you can use a program called "Syncmypix" available in the market. This will at least keep your contact photos up to date as I have been unable to find success with this through the native FB syncing.

Edit: I just found this: http://www.insidefacebook.com/2009/02/15/how-to-sync-facebook-events-with-google-calendar/ I am not sure if it helps at all but perhaps it is a step towards what you are looking for.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
check your fb app. you have to enable contacts syncing through that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DraginMagik:
you can try something like fdcal. it's a facebook app that is supposed to sync birthdays and/or events to your google calendar. it kinda works, but not perfect. i think it's part of the current facebook/google wars. you can't even export your events to a .ics file from facebook...the file is always corrupt.

gps fix just committed:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/557757d2f4e2b5c734f65c26d46f71aa25803b8c
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
do u believe this was the "easy way out" & that having those servers is pointless? from everywhere i've read, it dramatically improves gps lock times etc.. just curious, not poking at all
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
i actually have no idea. it's supposed to do exactly what you say, but it hasn't for some people (majority or not, i don't know). still, what can be deduced from this as a fact is that cyanogen is checking xda again :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
eh i dunno! we both tweeted that to him & who knows who else did.. i'm not convinced.. the man must show himself :D

oh wait sorry to all you religious ppl

mwuahahhaa

i dont know for sure, but unchecking the WIFI GPS has made a world of difference
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
well, i linked him to david's post here. so, by my deductions, he must've checked it out to check the link david provided.

Anyone else experience a small graphic glitch moving widget s on adw. Not a big deal at all but I just restored and am noticing it and trying to figure out if its me or adw. Long press a widget .. does it come up almost half first then the other hhalf split horizontally down the middle?

Thanks guys.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
tried to reproduce what i think ur saying & things seem proper to me. dont notice any glitching?!?!
[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
Thanks. Tried to explain it the bestvi could. By come up i meant the widget almost lifts off the screen. Must be me then :/
[EVO 4G Android Development] jkinnison90:
So the gps is fixed in a nightly? When I was using rc2 yesterday trying to use navigation the gps would lose signal every few minutes. Worked just fine when I swapped to a sense ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamsterzak:
Lmao hahahahaha
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
the commit/revert JUST happened. give it time

or remove the lines of code yourself. its not hard
[EVO 4G Android Development] JOEOZUNA4U:
how can i do that?
[EVO 4G Android Development] JasonK75:
Yeah, I'm not an expert but I would give it a shot at least. lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
basically you just need to edit the gps.conf file to remove the 2 lines that were added.. David first brought it up a few pages back & said it fixes his problem.

this can be done a number of ways including adb or a root file explorer of some sort.

have u tried what i ranted about earlier with disabling the GPS WIFI locking?

let me know if that doesnt explain it in enough detail
[EVO 4G Android Development] JOEOZUNA4U:
i always have it disabled but its not accurate... there is times i need gps to be accurate.... its not a deal breaker for me but if it can be fixed why not fix it, right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] focus242:
Is there anyway to do this via the terminal emulator?

for example:

mount -o rw,remount /system

cp -pf /system/etc/gps.conf /system/etc/gps.conf.orig

vi /system/etc/gps.conf

<edit file>

mount -o ro,remount /system

This would work on a regular linux box, but I haven't tried it on my phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
hehe yea i'm sure you could accomplish it from the device if you really wanted.

adb pull & edit the file & push it back, reboot & its done. hollar if anyone needs help doing it
[EVO 4G Android Development] kpoz:
I am running RC2 and am experiencing a very odd issue. To be fair, this has been happening since I started flashing CM6 nightlies back in August.

While using the stock messaging app, I occasionally send a text message to the wrong individual. I know I am not simply clicking the wrong individual because I will send a text to my girlfriend or one of my best friends, individuals I text multiple times per day, and it will send the message to someone I haven't sent a text to in over a month.

I believe the issue is as follows: when I click on a thread for person A, it takes me to a thread for person B without me realizing. I do not believe that it sends messages to the wrong person.

This has now happened to me about 15 times since August. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I am considering filing a bug report.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JOEOZUNA4U:
i wish i knew how to do all this :(... can someone make a zip file to flash, is it even possible?
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
that used to happen to me on the stock rom as well. after switching to handcent, can't say its happened since. try that or chompsms maybe
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
hit me up on gtalk if you cant figure it out. its really not hard at all

i assume the fix will be in place on the next nightly build. so you can either wait to flash that or hollar at me
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
this is still happening?? maybe a logcat? i haven't come across this issue though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kpoz:
It happened to you as well? Interesting. I wonder if it is a creature of CM6 or the AOSP build in general.

I've been around the block and knew I wasn't imagining things. I wonder how prevalent the issue is.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
notice i mentioned on the stock rom(meaning 2.1 sense that came on launch day). me & several friends have all talked about this issue. i didnt notice it happen as much when i was using the stock aosp messaging, but i believe it still did just less frequent. back on launch day+ before i rooted i would notice this happening

i'm going to say it happens to LOTS of people who arent using handcent or chomp

handcent has some neato features u might just be better off checking it out
[EVO 4G Android Development] lehuukha:
This has happened to me several times as well...
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjacobs:
I have had this same issue(tap an SMS thread and a different SMS thread pops up) pretty much on all CM6 nightlies.
[EVO 4G Android Development] focus242:
I get text messages when I receive a voicemail when I first switched to cm6. How do I stop the text messages? (other than people not leaving voicemails, smartasses ;))
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkelle4:
Use a program from the market called SPC (Super Private Conversation). It is a simple program and you just tell it to blacklist texts from 9016. I've been using it for a long time and it works perfectly (you still get the normal voicemail notification)
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowspeed:
I'm having a problem with the GPS, in all nightlies since 178 and up (and RC2) the GPS will work then stop then work etc.

Specifically with an app called Cadio Trainer.

So if i revert back to 177 it works fine.

Anyone else having this issue ? is there a way to fix this ?

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
please look back a page or 2 before posting. this has been a hot topic this morning. there is a fix & if you aren't familiar with adb or how to fix it, hit me on gtalk & i'll walk you thru it

or i bet the fix is included in the next nightly build
[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
Hey, have you had problems with GPS locking?
[EVO 4G Android Development] pathtologos:
I'm loving this rom even if the battery life is kinda crazy. I flashed rc1 and haven't flashed any of the nightlies which have followed. I just did the "battery recalibration" posted by cyanogen and I also heard that "giving it a couple of days" might help. If I continue to flash the new nightlies, will this continue to screw up/reset by battery stats?

I guess what I mean is: Is it possible that all the flashing of nightlies every night has led to some detrimental effects on my battery?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bpqow:
Flashed the newest nightly over RC1 and the camera is definitely not blue like in RC1. Much better. Battery life is excellent for me btw.
[EVO 4G Android Development] konfuzed:
unplugged since 10am on 7.27 nightly..

heavy browsing and texting.. downloaded version 4 of cyan power theme over 3G... moderate calls,

still have 16% battery life.

pretty impressed i must say! keep up the good work!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ryan5943:
I've been unplugged 8 hours with pretty heavy web use, maybe 50 texts, and 30 minutes of calls. My battery is at 40% still. My signal and speed is the same as I've always had. Gotta say this is by far the best rom I've used and battery life for me is on par with any 2.1 rom I've used. Thank You Cyanogen

Sprint Visual Voicemail

Hey everyone and kudos to the developer of this rom...I am liking it alot! One question however is about the visual voicemail for sprint...this rom does not appear to support it because everytime you receive a voicemail you get those annoying 9016 txt messages...and only way you can access your voicemail is by either calling yourself or enabling dial 1 for voicemail...I even tried installing the stock sprint voicemail app...but it does not pick up my voicemails nor can contact the voicemail server if you need to change your message...i've looked but have not found any kind of fix for this and I would not like to use a google voice number just to have visual voicemail...I need to use my sprint number. I thought of call forwarding my calls to the google voice number but I cannot find call forwarding anywhere in the settings....how can you enable call forwarding? is there a real fix for this sprint visual voicemail issue? And also I noticed in the dialer you cannot dial the name of the person you want to dial and select it from a list that appears like in the stock rom...here you only can dial the number...would be nice if that was implemented as well...replying to your voicemails was also a cool feature from the stock rom...didnt see that capability in this rom...maybe when visual voicemail is fixed... thanks for reading :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] david279:
What settings do you guys use to get blinking LED notifications in the messaging app? All i get is a solid orange or green LED...
[EVO 4G Android Development] OneStepAhead:
ok guys, either my phone is not sleeping since i installed CM6, or the sleep time is in a different place in FroYo. Where is it again? Settings > About phone > Battery use > phone idle correct? I just have a "Time On:" no Sleep time, and im getting major battery drain. flashed to the latest nightly from RC1 and did a data wipe. any clue?
[EVO 4G Android Development] BigRick10:
http://buildbot.teamdouche.net/nightly/supersonic/
[EVO 4G Android Development] bprinehart:
I believe from your Evo you'd dial *28yourgooglevoicenumber

That will enable the conditional forwarding. Regarding the stock features you were speaking about CM is 100% built from Open Source code, so anything HTC branded or otherwise closed wont make its way into a CM ROM. You can pick and choose and play around with different apps out there, and customize your own Evo experience the way you like it, as there are plenty of options to accomplish the same tasks.

If you really like stock with the HTC stuff maybe look into Baked Snack or another solid 2.1 ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rajah sulayman:
Just to be certain -- if I'm already running the RC1 from the OP, do I just install the ROM from the recovery screen like I'm flashing an app (after backing up, of course)? I know that's what cyan said but I just wanna get some confirmation. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ipractice:
Experiencing high usage of my display under battery use. My display seems to be hogging the battery even though its at 1/4 of Max brightness at all times.

Besides that all is well. Also just curious what's RC stand for?
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
yep, just flash over like any other rom. i personally wipe cache & dalvik-cache, just in case. most people don't, but that's just me. if you have a stable set up right now with rc1, maybe do a nandroid backup, again just in case things don't work out. these are all beta builds after all.

rc = release candidate
[EVO 4G Android Development] konfuzed:
would love to tell you this but ive rebooted the phone for the facebook sync hack so it resetted the screen on time.:confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] paranoid android85:
if you're using google voice you can turn off all notifications on the website. it still lets you know when you have a voicemail, but without sending those annoying texts
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
yup. i use Waze a lot. it has always worked great until the last batch of builds. ever since cyanogen added the SUPL servers in the gps.conf.

removing the 2 lines brought back gps & according to github, the commit has been reverted. which means it should be "fixed" in the next build
[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
I'm sorry. xD I couldn't resist. I was just trying to fuel the fire :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:

did you try to mount the path as R/W, it defaults as R/O

[EVO 4G Android Development] luisrcastillo:
I removed the lines that were added to the gps.conf file, rebooted and I was able to use GPS twice today. Before the fix, took a while to get a lock and while driving GPS signal would be lost

yuppers, great to hear!
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowspeed:
Not yet, i'm still waiting for the white evo screen to switch over (i just flashed 180)

Say, maybe you know, It used to be that it would pass the white screen really quick now it can take a few minutes (it's been on this screen for already 5 minutes now, and i'm almost considering pulling the battery, but i've seen it go through it before after a while)
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
stock kernel?

anytime u clear caches it takes longer on first boot. but 5 minutes seems a bit of a stretch. only time thats really happened to me is when using a kernel not fully compatible with cm6
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowspeed:
Well i'm talking about the White EVO screen, the animation is longer as expected after a wipe.

But it's been a while that the transition between the White logo screen and the next step, weather it's getting to recovery console or booting up takes a long time.

Not a biggie, just wondering what can cause it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JOEOZUNA4U:
thanks it was my first time using root explorer.... ok i fixed it! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
yea thats what i was answering to. are you using the stock kernel?

yea! awesome
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowspeed:
So this is what's in it:

Which lines should go ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
these:

SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowspeed:
Thanks, do you know if 181 will have it fixed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
we can ONLY assume as much, according to github revert of the commit that broke it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] minieod:
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com

SUPL_PORT=7276
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowspeed:
What happened with the GPS is that it kept reverting to the AGPS coordinates instead of the actual GPS signal.

I noticed that if i ran GPS status it would get it right on. As soon as i turned it off it would revert back and forth between agps and gps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thanatos_evo:
Another update on battery life. A day after a full wipe, my battery simply refuses to die :D

Majority of the % usage is by system idle or standby. Very impressive so far. Still have GPS issues, plan to modify conf file and check.
[EVO 4G Android Development] focus242:
thanks, i'm not using google voice though. just regular sprint voicemail
[EVO 4G Android Development] abanh:
Do a Google search for'calenderp' on your pc. It's a Facebook app that allows you to export Facebook events into your gmail calendar, and from there your phone will display those events.
[EVO 4G Android Development] focus242:
Thanks for the info. That definitely sounds like a good idea, but I was wondering if I could solve the root problem instead of just putting a bandaid on it. I'd rather stop the texts from occurring at all. Right now I use handcent to blacklist it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
dont think so bud, thats just how it works
[EVO 4G Android Development] focus242:
Btw, this works. I just did it on my phone and changed the gps config file for the better. No need to pay for root explorer when you can do it all from your terminal emulator.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
right on, thanks

as an alternative i believe you can do the same thing with Estrongs File Explorer(free in market) in case people aren't good with CLI
[EVO 4G Android Development] Swayyy:
So was this android system usage issue figured out? I was on RC2 but nandroid back to my stabel build for now. I really want to use Cyanogen.. I was just getting bad battery drain... Did one of the nightlys fix it? Also, I heared someone say RC2 had a black status bar standard.. Mine wasnt? Thanks all
[EVO 4G Android Development] thanatos_evo:
Yeah that worked. Tested gps just now, everything looks cool. Thanks for the tip!
[EVO 4G Android Development] focus242:
that's great, the more options the better. I'm glad to hear there is a free version of an explorer-type program that will let you do this. so the only thing holding you back from doing this on astro is remounting the partition as rw? that's hard to believe. You could probably use a combination of CLI and astro to accomplish this.

1. open terminal editor and su to root

2. issue 'mount -o rw,remount /system'

3. load astro

4. navigate to /system/etc

5. edit file using text editor (?)

6. open terminal editor again

7. issue 'mount -o ro,remount /system

8. reboot

9. declare victory

Obviously this is really only like 4 steps, but I expanded for clarify.

just out of curiosity, what % of the android community do you think is good on the CLI? I bet it's more than iOS and much much much much much much much more than win7.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tomyboombotz:
I fixed GPS in rc2 but glazing snap Turbo kernal 7.6 but don't activate snap Turbo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] thanatos_evo:
I find that battery life is pretty good. When I installed RC2 with just dalvik and cache wipe, my battery died in no time. After a complete clean/wipe battery usage is great, and cell standby is at 30% and idle at another 30%. System is < 20%
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
what percentage.. uhm i'd say 10-15%.. but yea i agree much more so than fruitphone users

yea but i bet your bluetooth doesnt work? hehe
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamsterzak:
I've had times I've waited almost ten minutes ..my rule is either watch it boot in adb or 15 min then pull battery..haven't had to do that in a while ..don't want to jinx myself
[EVO 4G Android Development] focus242:
haha, fruitphone. i haven't heard that one
[EVO 4G Android Development] Swayyy:
So by complete wipe you mean factory data reset, Cache and Davlik... Right? If so that's what I did when I installed... I had like a 60% system usage... and Android system was pegged under spareparts.. Like 100% partial wakelock
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamsterzak:
U can change status bar color to w.e. u want.in status bar tweaks in cyansettings...stock on vinilla is white
[EVO 4G Android Development] Swayyy:
Yeah I know that.. Thanks.. I was just wondering if I had some old settings restored...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sab3r One:
So do we have a definitive answer on how to resolve the android system use battery drain? Ive been reading the thread religiously, but the fixes seem to work for some and not for others. I've only tried the usual, Data wipe and 3x dalvik/cache wipe. The problem persists.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
its not happening for most of us so i dont believe there is a definitive answer to your problem. i'd gladly help ya if i could, but its just not a problem for me or my girlfriend who is also on the latest nightly

i'm still leaning towards something in your guys configs, perhaps a rogue something on the sd card.. its a very odd problem.

are you using clockwork or amon_ra recovery?
[EVO 4G Android Development] focus242:
My issue w/ battery was that my phone would not sleep aka in spare parts, it was running 100%. I installed a new kernel (zen .9 cfs) and that problem has gone away.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sab3r One:
Thanks for the quick response. I use amon ra. I do everything manually, flashing/wiping etc. I had gestures on, but turned them off. This isnt enough for me to leave CM, but its not fun. In 20 minutes I went down 8% when I took it off the charger this morning. I normally pull 15-20 hours, but am getting around 10 right now.
