Few issues

OK, so I have been using this ROM for a week or so and have loved it. Some of the issues I was having (GPS, etc) were able to be fixed. I have since came upon a few other that I am hoping some of you can help with because I would love to keep using this ROM.

1. I used Collin's battery tweak and made settings changes but found my battery life to be extremely bad after doing so. (after a full charge, in a good signal area, I lost 8% after less than an hour). Even after removing the tweak, the battery life still leaves something to be desired. Is there a better option?

2. There seem to be an extremely large amount of applications running at any given time. Using Advanced Task Killer, if I hit the kill widget once a minute, I would kill 10-15 apps each time. Running Fresh prior to this, I might kill 6-7. Perhaps this could be related to #1 above?

3. Some settings continually reset themselves and won't stick. For example, I tried to switch to better keyboard and it works for a few uses, then reverts back to the stock android keyboard and acts like better keyboard was never installed. Also, changing ringtones for various apps (messaging, calendar, etc) would only hold for awhile and then revert back.

4. Is there a radio that is optimal for running this ROM? I haven't updated mine in quite some time

5. What Cyanogen mod settings under performance are the best?

I think that is all I can come up with for now, any and all help is greatly appreciated!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tbaybucs:
yes please
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Here you go :) Enjoy!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chinkster:
yeah im on 3g. im using the verizon radio and i am running the latest stable version of cm6

Car home not allowing me to choose shortcuts and just wondering if its normal that the Google apps aren't showing on market downloads. How are they updated?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Usually with a new gapps :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xero817:
So would I have to download a new gapps folder than?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
That's be the easiest way.. you could delete the app from system and instal though market, but it's easier to let a new gapps come out
[Hero CDMA Android Development] xero817:
What is a current pack of gapps?

I downloaded the zip that came on this thread. Any other suggestions?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
Thanks. Sending the message and leaving it stopped the bug. But is there a way to "turn off" the cm6 messenger app? Also, are there any good E-mail apps I can use besides the cm6 app?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] debh945:
Go into the messaging app then Menu, settings, uncheck auto-retrieve. As far as other email apps, you can try out K9. I used it for awhile but then went back to the cm6 email client.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Squiggy45:
1. Some have found that tweak to make things worse and not better, while others swear by it.

2. Haven't heard about this problem.

3. Install the keyboard to the phone instead of the SD card. Same with any other apps that seem wonky.

4. Dunno.

5. Seems to be different for everyone. Some like JIT, some don't, etc. Try out combinations and see what works for you?

Ditch Advanced Task Killer.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
+1 never use a task killer with android
[Hero CDMA Android Development] madeSICC:
I use autokiller. Is that as bad as advanced task killer?

Froyo!.... its whats for dinner.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] user7618:
+1... or is that +2?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Autokiller is ok (I use it) as long as you keep the setting to aggressive or below :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
+3 now lol :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] madeSICC:
Cool. I use the strict setting. Keeps a decent amount of free memory

Froyo!.... its whats for dinner.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yup I agree strict or aggressive works well :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tbaybucs:
still doesnt work do i need to remove the keyboard thats installed by default ? thanx
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Shouldn't need to... are you unzipping it and then installing with a file manager?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] legasus233:
Make sure after it is installed that you no only choose it in your keyboard settings, you also need to go to any text input field and long press, selecting input settings, and then the new keyboard
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
+1 thanks, didn't even think the problem might be him not knowing how to enable it :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tbaybucs:
yeah thanx guys i checked the htc_ime box but it wouldnt show up. the long press in a text field took care of it thank you
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Cool glad its working for you now :)

I think I may have bricked my phone...and I need help with this.

I have successfully installed this rom via ROM MANAGER from Android Marketplace. I liked the CPU setting @ 691 Mhz, and I set it to that in SetCPU. After reboot, the maximum was reverted back to 528 Mhz, and I noticed slight lags at times. Anyways, I tried to flash a different kernel (ZenHTC kernel), and it said it was successful but now when I try to reboot the phone, the touchscreen is unresponsive. Any idea how to fix this? I cannot even log into my phone!!

EDIT: I did a ROM MANAGER backup before doing any of this, but I can't go back into ROM Manager. Is there a way to backup with my laptop?

EDIT Number 2 (lol): I pressed Off (the hangup button), and a menu popped up. Luckily, I used my trackball to select it to reboot into recovery. From there, I found the ability to reboot the default Cyanogen, so I took that chance! We'll see how this goes..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vandelay007:
Yeah, you can flash cm6 from recovery mode or if you have a nandroid backup before you flashed that kernel you can restore it....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Overstew:
I fixed my issue, that's exactly what I did. My touchscreen is working again (yay!).

Thanks,

Something I've noticed is that you have to install gapps and set it up first before flashing bfs.. I tried to flash bfs before setting up gapps and it left my screen unresponsive....

Sent from my dope ass Hero...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] liquidtenmillion:
It's because he flashed an HTC kernel over top AOSP. You can't do that.

They have different touchscreen drivers specifically, and that is why his touchscreen went unresponsive. Only AOSP kernels on aosp.

Exchange sync pushing

I am currently syncing with my work exchange server and everything is working extremely smoothly, in fact, much better than with the stock sense rom. I am having one issue that I need help with. I currently have my phone set to sync contacts, calendar, and email and have it set to check for changes once per hour. However, whenever I get a new email, it immediately sends it to me as if it were being automatically pushed. I have confirmed it is set for once an hour and don't know where else to check. Any help?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nolacrazygrl:
Yep...this was the step I was missing too. I usually don't but I think there are so many new settings and things to do, I get side tracked and can't think of what I'm missing why something isn't working.

Anyway - new keyboard works and I like it so far! Thanks! :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bmatic586:
When i updated to this ROM...and now when i talk on the phone and hit the end key, to wake the phone up because the screen goes blank, it hangs up...is there a way to change that?

thanks!!

great rom btw...i love it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] legasus233:
Learn to hit the menu key instead, that will turn the screen on. I believe there is also an option (I will try to find it) where you can leave the screen on during a call (will definitely eat up more battery though so I wouldn't recommend it).

Edit: If you go under settings, call settings, it is a few options down, you can check "keep screen awake" during a call. You might also want to try the different settings in Spare Parts.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bmatic586:
aha...beautiful..that works wonderful..

thank you!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] legasus233:
Glad to help! I have been greatly helped on this board so I am glad to help out with knowledge I have gained!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
This may have been resolved in a nightly build as well. I had the same issue with the stable build. I flashed nightly 79, & today the screen dims during calls, but does not turn off. Anyone else confirm?

Startup tone

Anyone know how to get rid of that annoying startup tone?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] madeSICC:
Do you Guys enable compcache? What does it actually do

Froyo!.... its whats for dinner.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vita10gy:
There's also an option to allow the trackball to turn the screen on, but IMO menu is much better. (not that you have to choose either/or)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I agree, for me it's easier to accidentally hit the trackball.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
How do I set up SetCpu so the battery can run the longest possible time without charging? Could you also tell me what should I put for the profiles ? And if I need to change thecpu for certain modes like if is idle or if its charging, etc, please include that Info
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I would either do 710-245 governor interactive, or Main profile 710-691, screen off 354-245, governor on demand. Just try both out and see which works best for you :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahager88:
Good call!

BTW, has anybody messed around with changing fonts within this Rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Zin0:
For the main profile, do I leave the governor On interactive?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:
if you want the longest possible time without charging, set it as low as it'll go. that'll probably make it so slow it'll be unusable, tho.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] user7618:
Also, killing your mobile network will save a ton of battery. Nothing will update while it's off, but you can do that after you turn it back on.

I'm using the stable rom. My GPS didn't work at first either but it was fixed by downloading 'GPS status' from the app market, and clearing the GPS cache from somewhere in settings. Since doing this and rebooting the phone GPS has worked perfectly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hunter82i:
Same here. I usually have to change the sync frequency many times before it will work. I also noticed that using airplane mode will not stop exchange from trying to sync and killing the battery. You have to kill sync in settings
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chinkster:
is the market included in the latest CM6 stable released on 9/18? i just wiped everything and reflashed CM6 and i already see the market and maps in there already.

I'm having a little issue. I flashed another 2.2 rom because I was having some issues but I couldn't even log in and sync my gmail so I wiped and flashed back to this one. It was running better than ever but I have some problems, I cannot instal ANYTHING and if I move an app to my SD card I can't see it on my phones menu. Anybody else experiencing these issues?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vandelay007:
But wont this prevent calls and texts from coming in as well
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rivas123:
Killing mobile network does not mean puttin into airplane mode which then calls and texts wont come in. You can turn off the internet connection through settings menu if I'm not mistaken.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrSpradlen:
Is this rom going to get any more updates or it just going to go by nightlies from now on

HELP I cant log onto the net or send mms msg. Had Cyanogen 6.0 for a few weeks now and all of a sudden this happened. Any reason?????

Did you Try reboot or turning airplane mode on then off?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] teawhy:
Yes tried that

You made sure your mobile network wasnt unchecked in your connection settings?

Do I need to do a wipe? Don't want to lose my contacts
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrSpradlen:
Sync your contacts through gmail and u wont lose them. U can try to do it without wiping. If it doesnt work just do a wipe next time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] teawhy:
Thanks, Im going to try it now, be back soon

That is correct, the two are separate. You can still receive calls and texts when you disable mobile network :D

What's your PRL version? You might want to nandroid, flash original sprint rom, update profile and prl then nandroid back to cm6.

Anybody else having like freezing/slowdowns?

I flashed this and everything was running nice and fast for about a week, then all the sudden anytime I do anything it would randomly freeze for a couple minutes when doing anything. I'm also randomly missing calls. :mad:

I flashed the new nightly, everything was back to normal for a day, then it started freezing and slowing down again.

Tried flashing the Decad3nce stable kernals, didn't help.

This is really pissing me off. Any help?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Do you have jit enabled? If so, disable it, as it will slow down your phone over time... that actually sounds like the problem to me
[Hero CDMA Android Development] username182:
Tried that already. I was running with JIT enabled for a few days and it was all good, then started the freezing/slow problem. Turned JIT off and rebooted and it was still super laggy and freezing. Flashed the newest nightly, and it went back to normal again, for a day. Now its back. :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Ok, try enabling jit again, and increasing vm heap size to 24... also, what kernel are you running with what cpu settings?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
For some reason I can't download the attachment when I get a text is there I tried the SMS fix but didn't work any other ideas
[Hero CDMA Android Development] username182:
Lol, I'm one step ahead of you! Already tried turning JIT back on and putting the heap size to 24, no difference.

I'm running the lastest Decad3nce stable kernal, but no overclocking. Tried OC'ing it and not OC'ing, still slowed it down both ways.

I'm going to try a fresh flash. Full wipe/factory reset and see if that helps.

Thanks for the help so far. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Did you try this?:

adb remount
adb shell
cd data/data/com.*.*.telephony/databases
rm telephony.db
rm mmssms.db
exit
adb reboot
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I've heard that there's a possible memory leak with the newest kernel, that could be it. Do you use autokiller from the market? And no problem, happy to help :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
Haven't tried that can I do that using terminal emulater
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Not with those commands.... they are for cmd prompt only
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
Will try later after work thanks do you think adding a nightly will help solve the problem

Possibly, but probably not... let me know how it goes when you try it :)

Okay, so, I'm not going to be able to charge my phone for about a day and a half, so can someone help me prepare my phone by maximizing my settings for optimal battery life?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I would use the battery tweak, it scales down your cpu as battery drains. It can be found here with instructions.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] t12icky0:
Airplane mode would get you some good battery life if you werent worried about missing a call. just turn airplane mode off when yo uwanna make a call or internet. if thats not an option then i would turn off all data(3g/wifi) and make sure GPS, background data, and Application sync is turned off till you can charge your phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
+1 agreed, that along with the tweak should give great life!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] devonkosa:
thanks! thats perfect! another question... maybe you can help me with this one too.... how can i get back to stock recovery, i flashed the clockwork recovery, and i like the stock one better...? thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Download the one you want onto the base of your sd card, and type this from terminal emulator:

su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/name-of-recovery.img
[Hero CDMA Android Development] t12icky0:
stock recovery as in Amon RA or Sprint Stock? also what recovery were you using(1.6.2)? if so then here is a link about halfway down it shows the install process. i cant tell you how to uninstall clockwork as i have never used it so might look into that or if you can just flash over the Amon RA over it.

How can I get 6 "bars" of signal strength, instead of 4...?

What kind of battery life are you guys getting? Ex. Hours unplugged :)

These are my LAST 2 questions today... I PROMISE!

you would prolly need to do a graphics thing for the 6 bars(like a metamorph theme or something). and in the last week( i guess it was 2 weeks..lol) i have unplugged and went till my phone died. here is what is went to(killed at 4%)

1st=52 hrs 22mins

2nd=48hrs 17mins

3rd=37hrs 49mins(i used my camera and music player alot on this one tho)
