For hat it is worth, I had the same problems when I flashed RC4 from ROM Manager. So I restored RC3 and then flashed RC4 after booting into recovery mode. Everything seems to be OK now. Google apps present and GPS is working again. Weird.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pflunz:
I can't load my contacts. it says "no contacts on SIM", but there are some, and when i load the vcard I saved on my sdcard, it loads 'em, (I see every contact), but after there are still no contacts with numbers shown...

edit: updated from rc3. simcard-contacts-problem was there, too. but there i could load the contacts from the vcard on the sdcard
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KiNG OMaR:
If anything isn't working just wipe and reflash, should fix everything.

It's a known problem, hopefully a fix is on the way!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] .A.J.:
All in all, another great rom. FM radio works great. Too bad Classical South Florida (the main station I wanted it for) has a weak signal where I am.

I'm not sure what grey box you're talking about but my number has not been in the about phone screen for RC3 or RC4. I have to manually input it every boot through phone settings>additional settings. For me not inputting it hasn't seemed to negatively effect anything. I called T-Mo and after an OTA they said to pick up a new sim card. I just got a new sim within the last month but since they're free I'm gonna try another one and see what happens.

Other thing is that a video I shot is not showing in gallery. Through the video camera it has the icon of it as the last video shot but when I select it a movie on my sd card plays. However, I did get lazy and fail to wipe for the first time ever so that may be to blame for this issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ratchetrizzo:
I have a question about the new ADW launcher in this.

In 1.2 (that came in rc2 and older), you could scale the AB and make all the icons EXCEPT the drawer icon smaller. Is there any way to do this in 1.3.3 that is in rc4?

I want the four side buttons/icons to be smaller while the center drawer icon is larger. Right now, scaling seems to make everything the same size.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Radioactive Death:
Loving the FM Radio! Works great.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MERKJONES:
Apps that were on SD are not showing up in the app tray anymore. I pushed launcher back to my device because ADW is incredibly slow. And now I cannot see any apps that were on my SD. The icons on my desktops are still working, and they show in Manage Apps. But that's it. Now... on RC3 I couldn't install XBMC and Angry Birds (both on SD) someone here advised me to unmount / install / remount - which worked. I'm not sure the best way to articulate this bug for the tracker. Anyone else having this issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Deuces:
I don't understand why people are still using apps2sd anyway. perhaps they like buying new SD cards, or extra complications that are completely unnecessary ever since the MT3G.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gootah:
???

Is it just me or is there no changelog for each RC? I assume fixes were made, but how do I know if there's any urgency to flash?

LOVING THE FM Radio!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mariopm2005:
Loving this rom fast and very stable gonna install rc4 when I get home.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KShatzkes:
Cy and Zinx, I want to have your children. RC4 is working amazing. GPS issues have been fixed completely.

Basically everything is running flawlessly, except for the phone number/SIM issue. And an interesting thing I noticed was when I try to input my phone number in the text box using the physical keyboard, the numbers typed don't match up with the numbers outputted on the screen. For example, when I press "6," it types a "9." The on-screen keyboard works fine though. Just another small bug for the list. =P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] miked79928:
I am loving RC4 right now! Thank you so much for this! My only question is is there a way to eliminate the small lag when using the power button to lock? I am sure I missed a setting somewhere. Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ratchetrizzo:
Were you holding the ALT button down so the physical keyboard new to use numbers? Sounds silly, but try holding ALT
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lightningtrip:
Everything is working perfectly, I did have to use gps toolbox to cure the issue there, but other than that it works fine. I do wish I had a diff pair of headphones, cuz my Monster Beatz are insulated and the reception is awful..thanks mate
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] FallingEdge:
GPS is working fine for me. When I tested it outside, in my car and on my way to work, it locked on almost immediately. Trying it at my home office took over a minute. Might try to do a complete wipe, but I will save that for when CM is on a stable release.

Loving this.

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xdviper:
Yes, I want to view one as well, I remember back when I had a G1, and flashing Cyanogen mod on it, there will be a list of things fixed and broken in the original post. :rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jshickam:
If you hit alt it will display the correct number...Otherwise it is like typing the letter it corresponds to on a phone keypad

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Deuces:
FM Radio crapping out after receiving Email notifications. I have to turn off bluetooth and re-start radio to fix it.

Yeah, I said that earlier. I'm gonna fixit tonight hopefully.

Whoever said CoPilot doesn't work is on crack too, it works fine.

Another +1 to things working flawlessly. Couldn't be happier.

A bit of an aside, and I apologize, my battery lies. first ~2hours it says 100%, then drops normally after that. Because of some weirdness with the phone starting in recovery if plugged in (even if off) how do I properly reset battery stats?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KShatzkes:
Okay, I am officially an idiot. Thanks for your help!

RC4 has been giving me no issues. Can't wait for final release!

Mine even does it charging. It charges to 99% quick then takes like 3x as long to go from 99% to 100%

WIFI not working

Tried Using Wifi Tether on RC2 ever since then my I can not connect to wifi already tried wiping upgrading to RC3 and even used the stock roms but still wifi is not functioning. It will connect and the wifi symbol appears but it wont load up web pages or open up the market tested the signal with speetest and it caomes out as if I do not have data connection. Is there any way to fix this? :confused:

Question: if coming from RC3, can I safely flash RC4 without a full wipe?

Alternatively, is there a quick way to back up every system setting so that I don't have to set it again after full wipe+flash?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cparekh:
Flashing without a wipe worked fine for me going from RC3 to RC4. Alternatively, use Titanium Backup to back up everything (via a batch backup), then wipe, and restore everything.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ThaGeNeCySt:
that "battery use" problem is still alive and kicking... i answered a phone call and now Dialer automatically jumped to 81% use
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] swags:
You can back up system and Cyanogenmod settings in Titanium backup, but in my experience restoring the settings usually causes all kinds of problems.

Look at it this way: having to run though all the settings panels to get everything back the way you like makes it more likely you'll discover the new settings options that show up in almost every build. :p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] elusivebyte:
I still think there is a bug here. I noticed the same problem in the Foursquare app when adding a new venue. There is a box for phone number and it's designed to only accept numbers. If you press the number keys without holding Alt it types numbers, but not ones that make any sense. It will only enter number from 6 to 9 as I recall, and I had to hold down Alt the entire time. Using Alt-lock was the same as not pressing alt at all.

I'm of the opinion that if the text box is marked as numbers-only that you shouldn't have to hold Alt to type the numbers.

This bug existed in stock, so it's not a CM issue. I'm going to try to reproduce it again now to provide more precise info.

EDIT: Ohhhh I get it. The letters you type correspond to the numbers you'd get if you pressed those letters on a phone. This helps you type something like 1-800-CMISGOD. Here are the letters you get from the whole keyboard, starting with Q and going left to right:

7937898467 273344555 9928266

So it's easy to see how this can appear to be random.

However, there is still a bug with Alt-lock, at least in the phone number field in Foursquare app. You can turn on Alt-lock but it releases it as soon as you type one number.

I am loving RC4. Everything including GPS is working fine on my phone. Copilot works fine on my phone as well. Only one thing I noticed is not working. I use the lockscreen option for phone and messaging. The messaging option is not working on phone. Can somebody else test this out and confirm that the issue is with RC4 and not something I did?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1rome:
Omg gps works! I didn't have to reset and download gps data on agps status =) thank you and good job!

When you swipe left for messaging does it go straight to the messaging app? I have the option in the lockscreen but it is not working for me. Even after a full wipe.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lpaddikt:

Flashlight lock screen gesture support is great. Usually when I want a flashlight, I want it NOW, so saving a couple actions is nice.

I was already planning to try to convince my fiancee to let me install CM on her G2 from the cyber monday deal when I give it to her for Christmas. Now with all the cool new recent updates I may just go ahead and install it before I even give it to her. :p

Loving the new update to RC4. Been running it since 7 this morning and everything seems to well without a hitch. WiFi works, GPS pinpoints me exactly and everything has been fixed except the phone number being erased but I could care less about that I can enter that everytime if I have to, I mean hell I got so many options now and my phone is a million times better than it was on stock. But I did do a full wipe RC4 just for the hell of it. Thanks Cy, Zinx and everyone else that has helped.

I tried searching for this a bit. Whenever my phone wakes up, and goes to wifi or 3g or whatever, the cell signal dies for a moment and then comes back. Noticed this on rc4 and rc3. Is this a known issue with the last 2 rc's? Not a major issue and I'm loving the rc4 release. Just curious.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] elusivebyte:
I just did a search for it and it appears for me. However, it was already installed. There was an update, and I just installed that. Maybe it's appears when it's already installed, but not if it's not?

Can't get Swype to install.

I have backed up my files but I can not seem to get past the force closes. I have tried pushing the libSwypecore.so to /system/lib and adb instal Swype.apk /system/app but it states that, "can't find /system/app to install."

I tried to make sure I can access it through the adb shell and had to mount the system as rewritable to be able to even access /system/app.

Weird thing is, everything works great in RC2.

This only started happening in RC3 when I couldn't even install Swype and got an error along the lines of

[install_not_deodxt]

I know that's wrong. I just can't replicate it in RC4.

I think that its funny that in the year 2010 we have phones that can browse at lightning speeds, process faster than our old computers, take photos and videos of a much higher quality than some of our original digital cameras; and the thing we're most desperate for is an FM tuner =P

It appears I was able to install (not be rejected) CM6.1 update.zip without using the ClockworkMod Recovery. This also means I was able to install BaconBits with this, without it being rejected. This happened also despite installing ROM Manager and choosing to flash ClockworkMod before this. Is there a way I can now using the bootloader install ClockworkMod, or flash some image in the Android system recovery?

Waldo, check out the focus mode settings.

Great to see CM on the G2... was missing it. So far it works great and I will give it a run through this week. I need to get swype reinstalled.

Did have a camera crash when waking from sleep. Will try to reproduce. Should have a logcat.

I believe that it is ok for you to backup your swype from your system to your computer using adb, along with whatever else you want to backup, to use for personal use only. However do not distribute swype to any other phones or online.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] popokrew:
CM thanks for the clarification and all your work. May I suggest the auto focus when only in regular camera mode or when half way pressing the camera button? (Don't remember if its like that on stock rom) For videos I don't know how well this works because you are recording through the focusing. Is there a way to make it less noticable or an option to disable?

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] popokrew:
I don't think this works. There is a post in the general forum on how to backup and restore swype. I linked to it in a previous page.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cyanogen:
First rule of Swype is you do not talk about Swype :rolleyes:

Should have no problem.

Just set it to touch-focus mode. I should make that the default because you can hear the mechanical noises in the recorded audio.
