[Hero CDMA Android Development] agentofboom:
First off, to answer the question a few posts ago, a nightly is:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightly_build

Second, I have worked now with three CDMA Heros and all of them have behaved differently. In fact one only occasionally will only hook up to adb and Its not the jack or cable (tested continuity, tested reset lines on cpu and CE, WE on the NAND) It all is working too, but theres just some freaky sh*t...or hardware revs. The worst one wont remount period. Constantly responds to adb devices but not any other command and therefore wont root (Ubuntu win7, Xp or OSX). stupid phone.

The one that works completely is finally the phone i think this is meant to be now that CM6 is near fully working. The other two are fuxored. Going to try to force S=OFF soon (not much hope as again, adb hates them) One is "With Google" and the other two are not. The good one is without. Anyone know of any hardware changes as fact?

Is there a service manual available for these yet? I cant find anything. Any other hardware hackers that might have suggestions or insight im all ears. Nothing seems to be physically wrong when testing phone to phone.

LOVE this release. battery life is better than anything before IMO, and ..goddamn its just better. My friend with an original Droid is getting jealous! Thanks for everyone's contributions.

Where can I get flash for my 2.1 darchdroid? or do I have to go with something like damage control? and if I have to do that still where do I get flash, Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] D3FAULT:
The ROM must have the HTC framework for flash to work. I know, it sucks. If flash worked on DD2.8 I'd probably use that instead of CM6. :P

I know this rom has working flash because I used it before: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=663086

And there are others as well.

EDIT: On the topic of CM6 RC1:

I was having lock screen lag until in enabled JIT and rebooted, then it went away. Just an fyi.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vietl3oi4eva:
sorry if this has been asked before but what radio should i update

to before flashing this rom? and how do i check what radio i am on

currently?

thanks

w/ JIT enabled and the uncapped kernel (OC'd to 748mhz) I am getting 5+ MFLOPS.

I'm really impressed. :eek:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chinkster:
just wiped and reflashed but still it just seems like CM6 has a lot of overall lag. so I had to nandroid back to DDv2.8...I guess ill give this rom another try when the final build comes out. sucks cuz I love how customizable CM6 was...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chinkster:
for people that aren't that tech savy like me...what is jit? does DDv2.8 have hit also?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] devonkosa:
Hi, I was just wondering what other people are getting out of their battery hourly wise. I got about 14 or 15 hours with moderate to heavy use. What are you getting? please include the number of hours and your usage amount.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crxmax:
Are you joking?? Look back the last 20 pages
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
Agentofboom: you can root, nandroid, flash custom roms and terminal emulator all from the phone so I adb is the only thing messing up they can still be used. I have never connected mine to a PC as my computer only recognizes its connected like 1 in 25 and even then I can't do anything with it

Edit: might depend on what version they are running, I rooted at 1.5 and haven't checked the new one
[Hero CDMA Android Development] adjr:
Thanks! This works great.I installed the Google Apps and Visual Voice Mail and all works fine. I love the ability to rotate 270 degrees now. Still the little bit of lag when turning on but that is bearable.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] tb87:
If I let it sit with very little use I can get 24+ hours. With moderate use I get about 12-15 (depending on how much is browsing). If I'm going hardcore then about 7-10 hours, I consider that browsing+videos.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Big-O-Devil:
has anyone figured out why does the led go green around 90 percent instead of 100... or am i the only one that has this happen to...:confused::confused::confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ToxicToastKatz:
Well....I give up. I must truly be quite the stupid one, because I can't figure this out for the absolute life of me.

I've had my phone off the charger for 1hr26 minutes, and it's already dropped 11%.

I've checked Twitter a couple times and tweeted 3 times. That's it. I removed my Exchange account entirely, WiFi and GPS are off and I've turned off my sync capabilities. I'm at an absolute loss. I have the battery tweak applied and it's still dropping. I just don't get it. I really hate to sound like I'm whining, but it doesn't make sense. Spare Parts says it's been running for 16.5% of the time, so it's not a wake issue. Partial Wake usage shows Android System using the most at 8m0s, and Battery Usage under settings shows the display using 67% of the battery used. The battery dropped a good majority of that 11% in the first hour and it appears (at least for the short time being) that it's stabilized a little bit. I've turned the display down to essentially nothing (I'm talking flashlight required to see it) so I'm wondering if that's it.

Even if that is it, this is pretty nuts that I essentially have to turn my smartphone into a dumbphone (with a display that can't be seen) to get anything out of the battery. I understand that people have extra batteries, as do I. I have 1 extended 1750mhz battery and 2 stock batteries, but I think it's ludicrous that I have to carry them around and swap them out if I'm away from my charger. Granted, 90% of the time, I'm either at work or at home or in my car where I've got access to a charger so it's not an issue, however, if I spend any time away from one, I have to live with the fear that my battery is going to go dead.

Please don't take this as ungrateful, because I am anything but. This is one of the most amazing experiences I've had with this phone. THINGS ACTUALLY WORK!! I know that the battery issue isn't related to the ROM either, because I've seen crappy battery ever since Fresh 2.3.3. I am just frustrated that some people are reporting battery life out of this world with settings similar, or less restrictive, than what I've got going on.

Is there something I could post with regards to settings or logs or something that could maybe help someone way smarter than me figure out what's going on? If so, please advise how to do it and I'll be glad to do so.

Thanks guys/gals.

Is anyone else having problems with Voice Search / Voice Actions when using it to send texts or email?

It composes the message fine but force closes when I tap "send" on the confirmation screen.

No problems sending texts or emails normally and no other problems with other Voice Actions features.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] balak:
GPS hosed ?

So, I have been using the RC1 for a few days now w/o any issues.

Last night, I got greedy (& tired of the unlock lag) so decided to flash the uncapped kernel. I first tried flashing 08/18 kernel and then booted back in, but market stopped working and GPS wouldn't lock.

So I flashed the 08/16 kernel and tried the same and neither market nor GPS work (google maps says your location is unavailable). Finally, I beat a hasty retreat to my nandroid backup and now GPS doesn't seem to work with vanilla 08/15 RC1 and no mods on top of it.

I know one or two people mentioned it already in this thread, is there any solution to this ? I need the GPS for my bike training (cardiotrainer).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] t12icky0:
i was at 27 hours with everything turned off(including 3g) but very heavy texting, about 15 minutes of GPS and about 15 calls lasting about 10 minutes each.

I was only at 77% by time the 27 hours was up(that was at 11pm last night). its now 8:37am and im down to only 64%. so i cant fully say how many hours..at this rate i should prolly hit atleast 50+hours if i keep everything off unless i need it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scott2020:
With a fresh flash, no tweaks, kernels, mods of any kind, GPS operates as you would expect. My Cardiotrainer seems to take a minute to lock, but after that it stays locked the whole time. Same with maps and nav. With any kernel tweaks, battery tweaks, anything like that, GPS acts a little strange for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scott2020:
8/20 nightly blows, as in it sucks, or it blows away the RC meaning much better?

Playing .avi files

Hello all,

I am trying to get my Hero to play avi files. I have installed Rock Player, versions 6 and 7, and neither one of them are working. They just force close as soon as I choose the file to play. Has anyone found a player that works for them? Is this possibly a settings issue?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Big-O-Devil:
:D:D:D:D:D.... lol... thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] frontay:
Wow I think you get the award for longest post in history. Did you try the battery tweak? There might not be a way around it. When people are saying 24+ hours in such that is from minimal usage. If you have everything synching to a minimum and have ran that battery tweak I don't think there is much else you can do. Did you try turning down the brightness on the screen
[Hero CDMA Android Development] balak:
Thats exactly what I have - except that I got back to this via a nandroid restore.

I didnot get a chance to check whether gps worked in the first few days when everything else seemed to be okay.

Does restoring via nandroid cause any side-effects (some files unwritten) ?

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoopingchow:
I totally sympathize with your frustration. A couple posts just below yours, someone reported 27 hours of usage, which is simply absurd--I can't even fathom it. I've gotten pretty decent life out of mine (12-16), but it drops like a brick as soon as I play a game or check my RSS feed (understandably so, but still). I'm not running this particular ROM yet (still running the Cyanogen 6.0 beta), with colin's battery tweak (129 min, 691 max), Launcherpro, Darch's Blackmod theme, and almost no widgets except for time and battery (tjm and Battstat). I had Autokiller, but someone recommended uninstalling it to save some battery. I have Advanced Task Killer, which I use to corral any runaway programs, which I think helps quite a bit, but I've also heard otherwise. Facebook doesn't sync, I don't use Twitter, I've disabled syncing for my RSS reader and ScoreMobile, so the only thing I get are e-mails, texts, and calls. Wi-fi's off, GPS is off. I'm not sure if I did anything else, but I hope this helps a little bit. Good luck!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] frontay:
You know I remember hearing somewhere that completely charging the battery, then letting it completely die is how you can get the best performance out of it. I don't know if any of u guys have tried that but its worth a shot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danaff37:
Advanced task killer will kill battery faster than auto killer. Quite a bit for me in fact.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Big-O-Devil:
out of curiosity :confused: what radio does everybody have with the rom.....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonevil:
Calibrating the battery can help.

With the rc1 though, I had to wipe and then reflash cause the battery was draining. That did tbe trick.

Now im back at 24 hours battery life

When flashing the optional google apps addon,is it possible to first take out any google apps i dont want before flashing the addon?

is there anything else within the zip that must be deleted that goes with whatever apps i delete or just removing the apk's good enough?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ademhorror:
what is this signal fix you speak of? i updated my radio to 2.42.01.04.27, seem to get only 2 bars, what gives? it's really the only problem i am having with this fantastic rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
It is simply a visual fix (more bars showing) not an actual fix. Whatever signal/bars you had previously you will still have.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stricklerjosh:
Does anyone have the zip for it? I am on an airave I know I have full signal, but only shows one bar.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cjdalessio:
Before you go looking for a "signal fix" please check the actual dB level:

Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > User Interface > Status Bar > Show dBm
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stricklerjosh:
-72 dbm
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stricklerjosh:
Does anyone have the zip or know where it is located? Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ademhorror:
i did that and it doesn't show me anything in the status bar. i got 3 bars earlier, so maybe it's just my area. sprint has horrible signal anyway.

edit\\ forgot it needed a reboot. mine shows an average of -100

Anyone having frighteningly frequent fc's when using Voice Search 2.0.1?

While it is generally functional for me (open music, find contact, go to website), I get consistent "unexpected error" when I use voice in a text message or email.

On review, it appears this error was common back in february, and google fixed it. But I haven't seen new complaints for this version of Voice Search.

Others seeing this issue on cm 6? I have nightly 8/19.

My voice actions are working fine. I was having issues with the "send text" command but not since it was updated. I love using the voice actions.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] markus_del_marko:
we know what it does, we need someone to post it as it is no where to be found.

i flashed back to 2.1 and i have 5 bars, with this rom i have 2 or 3. id like the fix.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] roadster92:
I believed that is under Darchdroid v2.8 ROM thread. But it will only work for black mod v1.2 (4 bar signal). You need to metamorph the fix. Here is the link: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=354954&d=1278343411

Same issue here. I posted about it a couple pages back. Running CM6 RC1
[Hero CDMA Android Development] markus_del_marko:
pretty responsive rom so far, i still have to get used to it over 2.1. im going to test it through tomorrow. one annoying bug is the text lag..the message comes through before the notification sound plays.

i also modded the framework to give me a better, stronger signal level.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] markus_del_marko:
i can also confirm what a few others have said. im getting lag all the sudden and my battery life is really bad, even after calibration, oc kernel to 691 default and the collin tweak. back to 2.1 for now. :(

and yes i know this is just an RC, ill wait for a final build i guess. im hoping someone here can step up and make a sense based froyo rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] raylusk:
Have you tried this with out the battery tweak? I was pleasantly surprised by responsiveness and battery life.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] markus_del_marko:
no i didn't, without the collin tweak doesn't the led stick?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bowlsnapper:
Okay guys. I've been searching for two hours...

Where is the signal fix? I'm on 1x and I'm barely Connected.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
The signal fix is simply a visual fix, it doesn't improve signal strength or anything like that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] markus_del_marko:
pull the framework-res file and mod the signal png's. that's what i had to do. the signal fix is not posted on here anymore for some reason.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ademhorror:
i'm absolutely annoyed. i've been working on this all day. i downloaded and flashed every single 2.xx radio on flipz website. not a single one brings my dbm past -90 and it just drains my battery because of cell standby and having no signal sometimes. however, at one point i did notice my signal was at like -80 when i was talking on the phone but afterwards shot back down to -95 to -100 and drained my battery even more. i really don't want to wipe and go back to a different rom, too time consuming to rearrange all my stuff again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] markus_del_marko:
i hear ya man, i too just went back to 2.1. this is a great rom but not there yet IMO, it is just an RC though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bowlsnapper:
Would you be willing to quickly tell me what to change, and where in the rom that file is? I really hate not having a signal on such a badass rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
This WILL NOT fix your signal issue. It will just make the ROM show a full signal in the task bar even though there's not one. It's like drawing a gas gauge with the needle on Full and taping it over your gauge in the car. It didn't fill the tank just made it not look so empty.

My 2 cents with CM6 RC1

Coming from Fresh, Froyo seems slow.

Playing Large mp4 video files, the audio still running normal, while video is frozen.

Some people recomended to remove the stock message app and use Handcent so Sprint Voice Works Fine, and it worke Fine, but for some reason Handcent is not sending picture messages.

Whith all litte bugs, I still Love Froyo....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gadgetcraze:
1. Thanks a lot for this amazing rom. Is there a nightly that has substantial edge over the RC?

2. Unrelated to this topic. Is there a way to delete selected messages from a particular thread in the messages?

I flash the nightlies w/o wiping (although requires installing my a2sd and gaaps from recovery as well prior to boot).

[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
A couple questions. Why do you have to install gaaps (I'm assuming that means google apps) after flashing nightlies? I flash the nightlies often and do not lose my google apps.

Regarding a2sd, does it move dalvik cache to the sd card as well as the apps? When I was running DC2.0.x, I could move the cache and I was always around 140mb of internal storage available. Also, do you have a link to a2sd for CM6? I can't seem to locate it.
