Did a superwipe before installing 204, new market apk crashes continually with FCs! Ive wiped the market cache, tried all the strange fixes (login and log out of gTalk), and I am still getting FCs. I even reinstalled the ROM with the same thing happening off a fresh install, what gives?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Go to settings and set your language to English (US). Even if it's already set do it again and it'll fix it. This is a known issue for a while.

Home > Menu > Settings > Language & Keyboard > Select Language > English (United States)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] autom8r:
Thanks for the help. I've been flashing for many many months now and never come across this before. I suppose I may have changed my language each time after a fresh install, perhaps that explains why I never encountered this.

Feels like a newb error, but realize some people have various ways they go about setting up their phones and bugs like this may only present themselves when a person changes their methods.

Thanks for the help, I loled a bit at the detail you used to explain how to change the language.

Something is really starting to bug me with my phone & i cant work out what it is.

Basicly when my phone gets to a low battery % (normally anything under 30%) it lags so much & becomes so slow!

Could an app be causing this or is this the ROM? I'm running #186 (havnt got round to updating yet) but this has been happening for a few nighties now! :(

Are you using anything like SetCPU to underclock your device when the battery gets low?

Hello everyone I saw there are lots of htc devices had this opened commit "switch to source audio". What is that mean? Is this related to sound quality?

Does anyone here use PlayerPro? Is opening the equalizer crashing the app immediately on 204 for you?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Looks like they're going to use HTCs proprietary libaudio.so; whether CMs version or HTCs version is better remains to be seen (or heard, as the case may be).

I can confirm it crashes for me as well. The equalizer never worked for me before nightly 204. It worked on the stock G2 rom, but idk why not CM7. I just use the DSP manager

Google Syncing Issues

I'm sure there's info out there somewhere but I just can't find it.

My gapps keeps force closing because of some part of my google account syncing. Not sure if it's calendar or gmail, but it's really frustrating. I disabled all syncing to stop the fcs but I would like to sync if possible.

Any help or direction?

On build #204, but it's been happening for awhile now.

I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this same thing.

I listen to a downloaded MP3 of a national radio talk show titled Coast To Coast AM.

When I listen to this talk show, or any other audio file, and when I try to call out using my bluetooth headset, there is a REALLY REALLY long pause (for a few mins) before I hear the familiar "Speak Now".

Then everything will work like it's supposed to, until if I need to make a call again, using my bluetooth headset.

Anyone have this same issue? :confused:

I'm on the latest nightly with my G2.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] aegentirony:
Sorry, dont have a fix for your issue, but am wondering where you download the mp3 of the C2C....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
Streamlink membership has it's privileges. From my phone, I go to www.coasttocoastam.com and click on "LOGIN" (you have to be a streamlink member). Once im login, I can go to the latest show and download each hour as an MP3.

Its really cool. I listen to this while exercising.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KarlosTheJackal:
No I'm not, I'm using the CM7 Kernal. Using the ONDEMAND Governor, Max Frequency of 1024Mhz & a min of 245Mhz & its set on boot.

I have the G2 and not the Vision, so I guess I'll research flashing radios never done it before, ubuuuduh,

I'll figure it out, im pretty savvy but I may research youtube videos, roms and kernels are pretty easy,

radios are scary :/

Also is there a difference between flashing one for Vision vs G2?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
This post is not directed at any particular person... but dang... would be nice to see anything other than people complaining about the battery.

Obviously its not the rom, plenty of us run this rom fine with great battery life.

Please take your bad battery life discussion somewhere else. Its just cluttering this thread with non sense.

If you really cared that much about the battery life you would go buy another battery and have one as a spare so it wouldn't matter rather than complain here DAILY...

Also more often than not its the user, not the rom or radio or cell phone company that is causing your drain...yeah yeah...I know its easy to place blame on everything but yourself, but you gotta accept it at some point.

Can you stay on topic in any thread you post in? Seriously? Take it to the RADIO thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xandermpls:
For sure sorry didn't mean to hijack the thread, but I haven't had this problem until nightly 180ish before that battery was lasting me 2days with average use, it was nuts.

Also the mytouch I have has no drain issues and both are on tmobile, after reading every post in this thread and following it I noticed other users have battery drain issues as well, which isn't everyone.

I have no gps issues, nothing it runs fast, in fact its PERFECT, everything runs faster then any other rom/build I have tried, everything except battery, I will of course take it to the Radio thread. Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
I agree... I don't see how someone can complain about battery life when they JUST flashed a new rom. It usually takes around a week for decent batterystats to log. Expect crappy battery life initally, but give it around 5 days or so to see.

Plus, when people start talking about battery life, it seems like there is nothing real (new bugs) to meantion. They just feel compelled to say something for some reason. That's just what I've noticed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] skiptomylou11:
Sweet! Nightlies released again! I took a long hiatus because of the lack of updates, so I'm very glad I can flash a new ROM.

I've been on 159 for a good while now, and I'm pretty tired of the random reboots. I can't say I experienced those before this one. Also, there were a lot of bugs on the messaging app... I had to use a third party app for texts for the first time in this phone. Looking forward to going back to regular Android text app.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SomEngangVar:
So quick question. Anyone else notice their market update? I'm pretty sure I was on 3.1.3 and now I'm on 3.1.5. Also the movies section is showing up. Which is odd unless Google expanded the service. My market used to just go to the apps section.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] csolanol:
Yep, i was on 3.1.3 and now i am on 3.1.5 too.

Im still experiencing the hang on the HTC screen on boot (now and then) trying to get into clockwork recovery. I downgraded to v3, but it doesn't do the rom nightly updates. Did anyone have a solution?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Yeah move to the 4EXT Recovery.:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nospin:
Having a problem with my wallpaper on the latest nightly. I haven't updated in a while so I did a full superwipe, and now every so often my wallpaper changes from whatever I set it to back to a Space wallpaper. Just whenever I'm in the middle of doing something I see the wallpaper randomly change behind me. Very weird.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] C.Flat:
It's still rather unreported but Video Rentals were expanded to Canada yesterday =). That's the reason for the market update. Its still slow as %$&# though...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wrapper:
Thanks for the tip - seems like an awfully complicated method just to take a photo without it making a really offensive sound!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
I shot to a 'Thanks'.

I looked in Rom Manager, to install/flash an older Recovery, which I don't see a 4EXT. The version numbers jumps from 3.x to 5.x. Where do I get this coveted 4EXT recovery? Even though I can do this manually, by going to Recovery myself to flash the latest CM7 nightly, I appreciate the automation that Rom Manager (premium) does to install the latest CM7 nightly. Rom Manager doesn't do the automated CM7 nightly update because it keeps prompting me to update to the latest Recovery.

So where do I get this 4EXT Recovery? Again, thanks.

EDIT: never mind.. i found the thread. I hope this works with Rom Manager's nightly updating.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Its in the same forum at this thread. Its on page 1. I believe in you.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
Thanks, i believe in you also.. I edited my own post stating I found the thread before I got your response.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
This question would be better off in the ClockworkMod thread. But having said that, v3 recovery is the stable one and does nightlies just fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
Not for me it does.. And this subject is for CM7 nighties - and the solution on how to solve issues the updating to the latest of CM7 nightlies, and the quest for finding the solution to update the latest CM7 nightly using a different recovery than CMR is "absolutely" in the right place - which is in the CM7 Nightly thread. ;)

To successfully update to the latest CM7 nightly this morning, I couldn't use Rom Manager and its ability to automate the nightly update this morning. It is because I have CMR v3. I had to do this update myself manually.

I (just a few mins ago) updated to this Recovery 4EXT. I hope it plays nice with Rom Manager and CM7.

EDIT: Oh.... I didn't realize "steviewevie" was a forum moderator. My bad.. Please don't take my response offensive. Not to take anything away from the subject. I just wanted to stay away from solution fragmentation.

Thats all..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Honestly....this discussion belongs in the Clockwork thread. And really, the Clockwork Mod app is a waste of $$$ as it hardly ever gets any support from the dev.

It only takes two seconds to browse to the download site from ur phone and download the latest nightly, which eliminates the whole transfer from USB deal.

I understand you want it to be as easy and automated as possible, but all I am saying is that it really is not worth complaining about or searching for a solution because there isnt one...the dev is more about the money then helping you find a solution, trust me. Afterall, people have been blowing him up trying to get the whole v5 stuck on splash screen issue resolved and nothing has happened.

It is your radio, flash the TMOUS .30 radio instead of what you have.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] smartin4166:
I am still having crazy battery drain issues too and have been trying a couple of different radios. I have been trying .30 radio for about three or four days and so far it has not made a difference on mine. I realize that this needs to be discussed in its own thread and I will be doing that from now on. I guess its not related to cm after all. Just trying to eliminate possible ideas of the cause.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
oh really?

---------- Post added at 03:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 PM ----------

Did you try the app "Watchdog" from the market? It lets you know if there is some runaway system process or app that is draining your battery.

I use it all the time. Any rom that doesn't have an Idle process of 82% or more isn't even worth it's weight in beans. CM7 sits idle at over 90% which translates in massive battery longevity.

Once your notified what app/process is eating your battery, you can either kill or uninstall the offending app or system process.

Cheers! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
I've said this before, but the .30 radio was giving me battery drain issues too. Try the one in my signature.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] izanagi:
Do you mean Watchdog Task Manager?

there are a number of apps that come up for the name 'Watchdog'
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gtmaster303:
WHAT?

this post was just too unrealistic to not reply to.

I dont know what settings or setup you have, but i've never seen a number like that ever.

Phone idle for me is 30-35% after a full day of use. Cell standby takes up another 30%. Battery lasts a full 20 hours before recharge.

I'll give you a run down of my setup.

Screen on: 245-1516

Screen off: 245

Wifi always on

Brightness 100%

Display on: about 2 hours

Fancy widget: updates weather every 15 mins and uses GPS for location

These are the most battery consuming things i can think of on my phone.

How on earth do you get it up to 90%???
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
You misunderstood him entirely.

The easiest way I can think to explain it is that its like on a windows computer when you hit ctrl + alt + delete and click task manager and then click processes you can see the "System Idle Process" and the percentage. Mine sits at 99% when I am not doing anything on my computer.

Hope that clarifies.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Miui is ugly and that's why I don't really care for it. Maybe the battery issues are due to the fact that autobrightness is broken?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tronmech:
Well, I switched back to my rooted stock Gingerbread ROM after trying Nightly 204. Why?

1) Battery life about 30% better. (16 vs 10-12 hours) If I took the time to recalibrate the battery stats this would improve, but for

2) Real... ly laggy performance... I kept having everything STOP at annoying times: while trying to answer a call, while playing Gun Bros, unlocking the phone, etc. It really got on my nerves.

3) GPS lock issues outside of GMaps.

4) I think the wifi calling app in the nightly is the older one that seems to suck down the battery like it's going out of style.

For those who say they get great battery life, I suspect that you're somwhere your coverage doesn't suck. I'm not so lucky.

The really aggressive app reinstall wasn't exactly welcome either.

Looks pretty cool. That was one of the things I missed from Sense.

Anyway, I've been having terrible battery for a good while now. I thought it was the battery itself, but although it improved a bit, it still seems to be going downhill. Just downloaded Watchdog to see what the problem is. I definitely don't want to go to another ROM, because I've been using nightlies for a good while now. But with the battery drain, I feel like I'm running out of ideas.
