It has to work on the DZ because that radio was pulled from Hutchison Australia RUU. It was probably a case of someone not knowing what he was doing....

Anyone from the northeast of the usa flash a new radio and have better reception on the nightly's? I have been having some service drops while being home and its bothersome. I'm on the oem radio if that helps any.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
My experience with 06.02.27 is that it is faster at switching from UMTS to HSDPA. But before that I was on the newest radio at the time (04.02.17) and that radio gave me better reception.

Non of the radios seem to be device or hboot specific and are safe to experiment with.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ImSoHungry:
Didn't even show up, or turn on basically.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Try flashing a newer radio, that fixed it for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] onelikeseabass:
I wish someone from CM would chime in here.

Build 4 works fine with stock radio. Builds 5 and up don't. No change to Vision GPS since build 4. Why did it break?

I realize these are experimental, but without a clear cause for this issue I'm not comfortable blindly paving over it.

I got the boot loop after installing #11 and skipping setup to turn on wifi. I just did batt pull and was back up and running in no time.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] aegentirony:
I agree as well I'm surprised steve hasn't given us a short sentance....maybe they don't know and there are too many variations between users so they set it at a safe point where they thought most users would benefit...I flashed the new radio on stock 11 and my battery life is the best everr and I'm very pleased....obvoiusly at this point some workarounds are needed but we should be able to narrow things down pretty quickly and have everyone running a great build like I am..

On Build 12, GPS is working fine for me.

Only issue for me seems that I lose mobile service every morning while on my way to work. Part of my train ride causes it at first because service cuts out on parts of the subway. However when I return to an area where there should be service my phone won't reconnect to the network. I have to enable/disable 2G only to get it to work, and then even after disabling that option I need to open Market to get 3G or HSPA+ to work, and then I need to reboot to get it to stick. It only happens in the morning, and only since I flashed build 12. When I lose service on my way home it always reconnects once I'm in a service area.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kalipedia:
Does no one else have wonky keyboard and editing issues on 12? I use swype, but even using the physical keyboard cause issues. Some things just don't seem to work - for ex: I couldn't get quotes. Then with the swype keyboard, if I double tap a word and highlight it, the word selection box pops up, but then the android system edit box pops up over it and then neither work and I have to back out of everything. Verrry bizarre. Never happened to me in previous builds.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilive27:
For some reason my ringtone and my notification sounds always reset. My desired tones are on my sd card, wonder if the sd card doesnt mount in time and the rom reverts to the generic tones. Anyone elses nightly's do this??

I notice it every now and then. Usually just after an update, though.

Geesssss come on does every single build have to always have GPS problem talk to it if this is the case just go back to stock
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
If I recall correctly, Steve reanabled QCOM_GPS starting build #5.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
Try upgrading radio if you haven't already. The last 2 radios seem to have improved reception in my experience. Also, if you need to reset the connection you can enable/disable airplane mode... easier than rebooting.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ScooterG:
I've been running the nightly's for quite some time now and have never had a GPS problem in Google Maps. I have had a couple issues with GPS when transitioning from Maps to Navigation, but not in #12. I know this doesn't help users with problems...just hoping to help.

I am using CM nightly 8 and i want to update to 12 but whenever i try to install the .zip it keeps saying the file is (bad). I also cannot install the google apps package. what can i do to fix this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SomEngangVar:
How large is the file after it has finished downloading? On 8 I got that error trying to flash a newer version of the stock launcher mod and noticed that instead of being ~6 MB that it was like 175 KB. If they're smaller than they should be you could try downloading again or downloading them on your pc and putting them on your phone and trying that way.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
Did you verify the MD5? Maybe it got corrupted.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ilostchild:
I ran into this problem too on browser facebook.. double tap the comment box and it comes on and works...

Anywho started using nightly.. I started using around build #8 and now on build #12 notice in stock broweser incognito not workinf it FC browser..

Also not new to flashing roms here but got question bout nightly.. everythime a nightly update comes do I have to flash and resign in?? Not a big deal really I assumed you can flash new nightly and keep all gapps and settings.. thanks again

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
You can download this app on your phone https://market.android.com/details?id=sa.afv&feature=search_result or google MD5 verifier/checker, etc and you can you can download anyone you like for the computer.

Then verify that the MD5 hash is the same.

is anybody else experiencing vibration issues? On CM #10 (after the RC) it worked fine, but after CM #11, it broke.

during calls it vibrates fine, haptic feedback works fine; however, it does not vibrate even though I have the box ticked off for "always vibrate".
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sabez:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NuShrike:
Nightly #12 is broken for me

Just tried installing it from stock G2 TMOUS. Gfree cid/s-off, flashed latest Vision radio first, then Clockwork Mod recovery mode wiped cache, factory-reset, and installed RC1-12.

Booted into CM7, but after I turn on WiFi (to add first new AP), it reboots into the CM7 boot screen in a few seconds and then gets into a reboot loop.

edit: recovered back to the backup of the TMOUS Froyo, but seems all my SD apps are gone, and settings all reset. Some fun time to restore HomeManager and LauncherPro.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChronoReverse:
Same thing happened to me. So I rewiped, reinstalled and booted up. Then I rebooted into recovery to install pershoot's kernel, wiped dalvik and cache. After that I had no problems.

I am NOT implying that this is precisely what fixes it but that in doing all that, my problem went away from something in between.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kalipedia:
yess! i've posted about this twice, but apparently your wording of the problem caught people's attention. it's definitely a bug. also i noticed that when i reboot, the android keyboard is automatically selected in addition to the swype keyboard. unfortunately de-selecting the android keyboard doesn't fix the double-tap issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tvdang7:
Anyone have gps problems that happen only sometimes? sometimes i get an instant lock and some times i dont get one at all. Very weird.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Nope, mine was broken with a few of the builds but now that it's working it works great! I get a lock within 10 seconds every time!

Now my Vibrant was another story...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NuShrike:
Hm.. I did rewipe and reinstall #12 through recovery a couple times to be sure. Strange setting up the HD2 with CM7 was easier.

I didn't try pershoot's kernel. Didn't think the stock kernel would be messed up after all this time. Maybe I'll try again after RC2. :-P Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
In some cases you have to reboot once before turning on wifi otherwise you can get into a loop.. Its happened to me before.

Thanks for the clarification.

I guess it's time to update my radio.

How can we tell when things are included in a build? I would think if a commit is merged before the build it would be included.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Well to honest it's all I've ever really used on the G2. I tested OnDemand for an hour or two so I can't really compare the two on the G2.

However I got way better battery life on my Vibrant when I switched over to Interactive. I just assumed it was that way with our phones as well. Though we get better battery life all-around, so...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bwilborn:
Re: Swype - Haven't seen anything out of the ordinary, but I'm just restoring the stock Swype that came with the phone.

Re: GPS - Didn't work at all with stock radio and nightly #7. Updated radio to the latest in that other thread and it locked on normally. Then I updated to #12 nightly, now it locks on in less than 10 seconds.

Re: new radio - It seems that it has improved performance over the stock shipping radio. My desk at work must have a Faraday cage around it because I got ****-all for signal before, with the new radio it has improved to between 1-2 bars pretty consistently.

My ROM upgrade procedure is to usually update to the latest ROM through CWM, then go into the recovery right after it finishes and before it boots into CM and clear cache and Dalvik. My upgrade path was:

stock

6.1 (full wipe)

6.1.1 (wiped nothing)

7.0RC1 (wiped data/cache/Dalvik)

7.0N4 (cleared cache/Dalvik)

7.0N7 (cleared cache/Dalvik)

7.0N12 (cleared cache/Dalvik)

Only problem that I'm seeing is that it takes a really long time to open images in folders that have .nomedia in the directory structure. Other than that, everything runs spot on and I couldn't be happier. Just thought I would report in with my positive experiences and share about things that I've seen others having problems.

So I just disabled screen on/off animations and set animations to fast. The phone is like 6 times more amazing now! The ui seems so much more responsive with fast animations. I miss the ion beam animations just a little, but it is more then made up for by the blazing fast ui. I recommend to everyone to at least try it for a little while.

I also recommend people use the screen calibarion app from the nexus section and lowering green to about 900, the whites are so much more white and the screen looks better overall.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] petard:
I can't stand the slow animations. I set mine to fast a looong time ago back with my Nexus One on CM6. Slow animations look nice, but after seeing them a couple times it's just annoying. I also disable the minimize/maximize animations on Windows 7 since they just waste time and my window appears instantly.

That happens sometimes after using a GPS app. Just kill the process that's using it, and if its still there open another app which uses gps and exit.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HLeenders:
I themed my notification bar to red but after flashing latest CM7 (#11 and 12) I noticed that the battery icon sometimes changed to default (green) color. This wasn't the case in previous builds. Am I missing something or are there depencies on the new % battery indicator?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
DL the Universal CM6 5.1 that works for me on nightly 12 cm7.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
I've also noticed that if I turn off GPS (via notification power widget) before the app that was using it has fully closed, the icon will stay put. So now I close Maps and wait about 10-15 seconds before disabling GPS and I don't get the stuck icon any more.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Can report this one works. What settings are you guys using? I notice if I just drop green, the screen has too much of a red tint, so I have to drop red also.

Also I just noticed that video playback works on CM7. The issue where if you record a video in landscape, you only can play it in landscape or else it gets half of the screen being blue. Ive updated every Nightly but gave up on checking that issue awhile ago. Which build did it get fixed?

What I meant was, Build 13 was supposed to be on the 4th, 14 on the 5th, 16 on the 6th, so if we get one tonight it would be #7 and all the other numbers would be skipped. Also it looks like we might be getting an RC pretty soon.
