One thing to try: Look up the APN network settings for Bell, and confirm they are entered into the phone correctly.

Im new to this, so where do I find that information, and where do I find and enter it in the phone?

I've been using this ROM for a few days now and I love it. Everything is speedy and works great. I just have a few problems that I hope people can help me out with. I'm having trouble making the sym menu show. If I attempt the alt+sym combination with the default IME, then it shoots me over to the keyboard's option screen. If I use it on HTC_IME mod or Swype, then nothing happens. Is there any way to get the symbol screen to show reliably?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Athrun88:
Had the exact same issue but was in a specific app: Handcent SMS as well as the stock messaging app. I loved it and the FN+key worked great until one morning, randomly, it started to behave in the way you described it. The FN+key worked perfectly normal in all my other apps, so I replaced Handcent with another SMS app and it works normal now.

Virtuous is good for stability bt does not impress on speed even with the advanced kernel....i was bothered by the occassional lag so i decided to try different kernels...perfshot's 1.5Ghz kernel improved performance greatly but broke my bluetooth then i tried Flippy125's 1.9Gz kernel which worked just as well without breakin anything and now my virtuous is as smooth as Villian sense rom. the only lag i experience is in rotation after i pop out my keyboard on the home screen...

Ive never experience a single faliure to wake(BLACK SCREEN) and i use setcpu with only three profiles

screen on....interactive...min396...max1.3Ghz

call...ondemand...min396...max806Mhz

screen off...conservative...min246...max691(3G-2G)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Sh0rty007:
Where can i get this kernel? (Flippy125's)

EDIT: oh, found it!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Sh0rty007:
well, i stay on stock.

tried the advanced kernel for Virtuous and had wake issues with it.

Tried Flippy125's kernel, wifi was broke...

Is it safe to install 1.0.1 from 0.9.5 without wipe ? =)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
Thought I would share with everyone how AWESOME the battery life is with Virtuous 1.0.1 and the standard kernel. I got just over 24 hours of battery life with decent usage. The only thing I'm concerned with is some of the numbers, as I use Tweetdeck and Gmail way more than what this screenshot shows (Gmail wasn't even on the list).

Regardless, it lasted an entire day! :eek: :D

Notification Bar Failure

B"H

My Notification Bar doesn't work - meaning I cannot pull it down when phone is in portrait mode (keyboard closed). When I expand the keyboard, and move the phone to landscape, notification bar works fine.

Any clue?

Please don't flame me if this has been addressed - I've check the Release Notes, Change Logs, and used the search for "notification bar doesn't work", but came up with nothing helpful.

I have a G2, running Virtuous 1.01, Stock Kernel, full wipe, no apps installed. This happens right out of the box.

Any help would be much appreciated. I don't remember this problem on Virtuous 0.8

Thank you,

Dovid

You should add the screen on and off animation that's on gingerbread.

Looks bad ass.

Virtuous v1.0.0 + New advanced kernel with Auto Rotate disabled and the same SetCPU profiles...:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] redpoint73:
The usage stats indicate how much power is being consumed by the app, not the amount of time. Gmail and Tweetdeck probably don't use much CPU and GPU power, giving you those low stats. Notice the Android OS is only 4%, and is always running. Different ROMs also report the usage completely differently (Sense ROMs always show Display as much higher than non-Sense ROMs), so I wouldn't put too much stock into the stats being all that accurate.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
Cool, but just the fact that I got +24 hours of battery life is simply amazing. Glad I was paying attention to my phone to capture proof of it. Love this ROM!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] redpoint73:
Wake issues with the various kernels is very well covered in the kernel thread, as indicated in the 2nd post. Personally solved my wake issues on the Advanced kernel using SetCPU with a screen-off profile: 224min, 998max, OnDemand governor.

Is there a way we can get the volume buttons to change the songs and camera button to pause and resume the track for the music app by long pressing like in the CM Rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
If I flashed the RIL automatcher mod from Rom Manager to my stock G2 radio, I shouldn't see a DECREASE in battery right? Although it says it should possibly help I wasn't sure if it could hurt it. It just seems that I'm losing battery rather quickly. I might be dreaming, idk (.__.*)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
Rmk sticks to basic sense, with just a few enhancements like tp wake and such. So most likely not. Gotta love that option though!

Its like I can watch my battery drop. I can browse the web and lose a percentage of battery within 5 minutes. I just want better battery life. I've still got the stock radio
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
I'm seeing some drastic battery drain here, too. v1.01 with Advanced kernel (and latest T-Mobile radio, whatever the number is).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mmduluth:
Just wondering if anyone else here never gets the 3g+ icon when they are obviously getting HSDPA+ speeds? I ask because I just ran the speed test in my signature a few min. ago and those are the fastest speeds I have ever gotten in my area and never once did it change from the 3g icon to the 3g+ icon. It's not that big of a deal, just something I was curious about.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mmduluth:
And one last question. Does anyone know how to insert the greater than sign with the physical keyboard on this Rom on a g2? Or if it is possible? I use it a lot and the only way I can find to do it is with the soft keyboard. On the stock Rom you would hold j key but its not working on this Rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chchia:
guy, just patiently wait for VirtuousRom 2.0 alpha 1, it is based on the latest gigerbread.

all i can tell is this one run much much much better than 1.0.1.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Yep but I will say that until we have a *final/release* RUU, the test ROM will not become a base for a stable Virtuous release. I'm offering a 2.0.0 alpha on IRC simply to allow folks to experiment with a Virtuous'ized Gingerbread.

Overall it's mostly stable but even I revert back to 1.0.1 as my "daily driver" at the end of each night of experimenting.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rumbi:
I don't want to be impolite but is there a way to test out the 2.00 Alpha even if i'm not on IRC ? ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] michel242:
do i need another radio for the alpha gingerbread build?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bogg:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ninj:
Sorry but which problem do you refer to? Thank you :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s0epkip:
What IRC server/chan are you revering to?

And I guess there's no overclocking with the Virtuouized GB yet, because of the 35.x kernel?

Still would like to check though :D

I was hoping you would make a virtuous out of this, hopefully this will speed up the actual Virtous 2.0 release when the official GB RUU comes out..!

feedback

Hello all,

just a quick feedback to say that the 26.04.02.17 radio changed my life!

I now get 2 days (say monday morning to tuesday evening) with stock battery with good use! Even more on moderate use (see attachment)

(V1.0.1 standard kernel, was quite the same on stock kernel)

I only got 1 day maximum with my previous radio (i don't remember the version, it was 26.03.sthg)

Hi asim!

I'm french too, on SFR network. Which network are you on? And, according to this thread, which radio exactly do you use? There are more than one 26.04.02.17 radios there :)

Thanks a lot!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
After switching back to the latest T-Mobile ROM (I have a G2) and Virtuous V1.0.1 w/ Advanced Kernel, I'm a bit divided. My battery life is noticeably better than CM7 was with the absolute newest Radio (Australian, I believe?), but my reception kinda stinks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s0epkip:
There is a newer radio than the AUS radio, from the HTC Gingerbread test RUU, see the radio threads.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ninj:
Yeah but :

1. We're not sure the Gingerbread radio is good to use with prior Android versions

2. Check this thread to see taht changing radios and libraries is much more a source of problem than of solutions ATM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s0epkip:
I know, but I was only telling him what the 'absolute newest' radio was/is. Also I didn't say "go flash it right away", I said check the radio threads.

Maybe add: read the threads and then make your own decision. :)

@Ninj

I'm on Virgin mobile (Orange MVNO)

For the radio, it's the one recommended by rmk40 that matches the Orange FR RUU,

so I guess it's this one:

2010-12-20 26.04.02.17_M2 (Orange FR-B2B 1.85.73.2) (MD5: e6497a697f875bbc33a56be2cc71c669)

Hi, i've been reading a few pages of this forum and i have NO idea what the "RADIO" is and why people want to change it. Is it the FM AM radio or something different?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ninj:
Hi!

Short answer: if you don't know what it is, you don't need it :)

Long answer: the so-called "radio" is in fact the part of the rom (internal memory of your phone) which drives all radio hardware (phone signal, wifi, bluetooth, FM...). When an improvement is made to this "driver" (by the manufacturer itself), it may sometimes be a good idea to flash your phone with this new radio rom. However, it's really something for experts and fearless users ;) The best is usually to stick with what you have in your phone, unless you experience a problem which can be related to the radio. Do NOT flash a radio and/or the matching libraries unless you feel very comfortable with what it is and what it means.

One point to note: new radios are included in official RUUs (updates from manufacturers) but not in custom system ROMs, like Virtuous. It means that even if HTC has made updates to the radio for the DesireZ in your country, you won't get these improvements unless you flash it by yoursel. That SHOULD be the only reason for you to want to dig into it.

Battery life is rarely a relevant data when given without any precision. Watching a movie, you won't even get 2 hours, while surfing on the web shouldn't drain it so fast. I'm not having the universal answer but consider that if one day you only use it for some short calls, some sms, some browsing and a little of gaming, all that with wifi and 3G (no GPS), you should get between 12 and 24 hours, it's normal. That's what i most often see on forums.

MMS not working

Hi have the problem that others seem to have. MMS not working.

I'm not sure where the problem lies. I can't send nor receive.

I can however see that the smalest MMS which can be set is 600 kb. Remember from my winMo when I set it to anything bigger than 300 MMS stoped working (for sending at least)

On stock rom 300 is allowed. (changelog for Virtuos will not load, so can't check if anyhing has been changed with regards to that.)

What ca be done to fix MMS? Anyone :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mreeekay:
I am also having mms issues, but they are mostly for sending. I don't remember having an issue with this until recently. It takes forever to send and mostly always fails.

Heres my bug submission

Here are a few bugs I have found.

1) not auto setting for the brightness.

2)email notification sound is not the system notification sound and no way to change it.

3) no auto rotate on home screen w/o opening keyboard up.

4) not enough boobs.

I know a few of these are just sense based problems but I thought I would throw them out there to get some discussion going.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mykeldrip:
I have tried saving Kmart msgs I receive they still show up as small blurry pics! I have them sent to me from an iPhone so quality good. I can send just fine. Just when I get its bad! Could this be apn settings?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eViL D::
1. I don't follow. There is auto brightness. Are you saying it doesn't work?

2. So, if you change the notification sound in system/sounds, it does acually change it? *you also need to enable sound notifications in the settings.

3. This version of sense only rotates the home screens when the keyboard is open.

4. You haven't looked hard enough.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yggdrasil:
yo yo,

1) i realize now that what im talking about is the brightness setting on the power control widget, doesnt have auto.

2)yes, i just confirmed, the notification sound on email is different than the system. I changed the system notification to make sure the email app wasnt just stuck.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] phpdiddy:
Interesting. I don't have it in my list of languages at all. Settings->Language & keyboard->Select language should have it, right? Or does it only do it on the initial setup?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eViL D::
Did you wipe before flashing? English (United States) is there.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eViL D::
Just to be clear, what does this affect?

Mine does it too. Has been for a while now....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eViL D::
When does it force close? Can you get a logcat?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stryder5:
1. The default widget doesn't have it on my version of a Sense ROM either so I think that's normal.

2. Go to Gmail > More > Settings > Select Ringtone. Does it have Default Ringtone selected? If not, change it to whatever you want.

I agree, that is not the only component. There are a lot of different factors and it's certainly hard to account for all types of failures or problems.
