GPRS = 1G data transfer technology. Dont think that has much to do with navigation. Maybe GPS? :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChronoReverse:
Interestingly enough, MIUI has the same problem with the GPS. I know that one of the earlier nightlies didn't have this problem when I reverted back. Have to find the nandroid now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
I have been using nightlies since they were in the 50's and it's always had that problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nospin:
Next stable release, EVERYONE pull logcats and make/star an issue on the tracker. Get rid of this gps issue once and for all.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
KERNEL UPDATE TONIGHT YAYAYAYYAYAY. Btw from past experience if you have not done a clean install/wipe in awhile this is a good time to do it :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChronoReverse:
Found a nandroid backup from May 21. Restored it and Google Navigation works again!

It's version 5.4 (as opposed to the current 5.7). I've updated to 5.7 now to see if it's related to that.

I'll note that one of the items in the changelog is "gps battery savings". If the gps starts to mess up again, then one possible culprit will be found. Will report after I use the gps again

Is everyone's WiFi hotspot working okay? The last 2 times I've gone to use the hotspot the service works for about 10 minutes, then my phone randomly stops receiving data. I still have the "H" icon, with up/dn arrows blinking, and full bars of service, and my computer stays connected to the phone, but I cannot use data on either the phone OR the computer. After a couple minutes, the data comes back on, sometimes I have to go to airplane mode and back, sometimes not.

Anyone had this happen? Never happened to me before.

Nightly #142, Streamline5 kernel.

I think I'll be doing a full wipe before my next flash to start fresh, as I don't think I've done a single full wipe after starting nightlies around 15 days after they started. We'll see how that works.

Also as a side note, has anyone been using the 2011-06-13 GAPPS? I've been using 2011-03-07 since they came out because 2011-04-30 caused me issues with the market. I think I'll try them when I flash the next nightly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] C.Flat:
Yep. Always a single FC when my phone turns on.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChronoReverse:
Okay, the Google Maps version doesn't seem to be the problem. I don't remember the build # for 5/21/2011 but on that nightly, the GPS works without issue in Google Navigation.

Something along the way since then in Cyanogenmod is the culprit =(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 0.0:
nightly #144 is out! hope those kernel changes helps with the camcorder zooming issues *crossing fingers*
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
Not sure if you specifically mean zoom issues when pressing the volume button but if you do, there is a potential fix on the way that still needs to be reviewed

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,6878
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 0.0:
nah, it wasnt that. it was when recording in 1.6x-2.0x zoom, by stopping the recording, it would not stop recording. then the camera would force close, and opening up the camera again, it says "cannot connect to camera."

Edit: camcorder still has issues. bummer :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
Both the kernel in nightly 144 and pershoots kernel were updated tonight and I've noticed a big improvement in performance using pershoots. Youtube videos load instanty and screen transitions and animations are buttery smooth. RC time I believe.

hi... the link to recovery file vision-cwm3src3.0.0.5-1-16-11.img is down. May i know where i can get a compatible recovery file? Been scouring the net and no one hosts this file. THanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Download ROM Manager from the market and it will install the latest.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dargocitfer:
The simplest way is to download "ROM Manager" from the Market and then click on "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery". This will download and install the newest recovery, which is 3.0.2.4, and completely compatible with CM7.

Alternately, you can go to Koosh's page and download the recovery directly from him: http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html

Anybody else getting dsp manager fc's when plugging in headphones with last few nightlies?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Thats a bit outdated :) I can put the latest 3.0.2.4 up for you if you would like. Easiest way to get it is to just open up rom manager and click flash recovery :) Even if you can't flash it at the moment, it still downloads it to your sd card. In sd>clockworkmod>recoveries
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NuShrike:
Confirming that Netflix is now finally full-framerate speed, as it probably is on Froyo. Too bad I'm canceling streaming soon.

Also, it's nice CM7 team pulled that horrible flip_gr32() RGBA8888 code in recovery. Horrible also that they didn't even use modern NEON multimedia, nor more backwards compatible ARMv5TE DSP instructions to accelerate it.

For those getting boot-loops upgrading from 143->144, I got it to work by using recovery to restore my 143 backup. Then at same recovery console after backup restore, install 144 again, wipe dalvik, and it boots successfully.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Good to hear NuShrike.

Anyone having problems with switching calls? I was on a phone call and had a call come in and when I tried to switch over....I was unable to answer the call....it just showed an incoming call without any accept or decline buttons.

I remember this being an issue awhile back(tho I never experienced it) but has it popped up again for anyone else?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] waterloomotu:
I removed the app when it wasn't working on my phone.. now I cannot find its apk :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
I just tested and I was able to answer the second call. I tried the swap and the merge options and those worked as well. I do remember this being an issue but I thought it was a radio/ril problem. Are you still using the .30 radio that is listed in your siggy? If so that is what I'm using along with the built in rils in the latest nightly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Yep same radio. Meh, coulda been a fluke.

This might help to shed some light on the problem. Are you restoring via titanium backup after your fresh install? Maybe some bad/old data there.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
Didn't even think about my restored Apps, and maybe from now on I will restore Apps without data, and that's gotta be the cause.

The thread you linked pretty much just says to fix permissions, and but I think I'm going to superwipe again tonight and install 144, shouldn't run into issues if i only restore Apps without data correct?

Cheers for the response... guru! hehe :)

Edit: damn u SwiftKey auto correct!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Only restoring the data should give you problems.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
Just be sure you're not restoring apps already included in the build. Guru...yeah, that is a laugher. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
fixed by clearing data of application
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Seriously clearing cache or data, or rebooting the phone can often fix things. Shouldn't those be your first steps of troubleshooting?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mejorguille:
Honestly I don't know why you guys wipe so often, I haven't wiped since december and never had any serious issues. I upgrade my nightlies every 2-3 nights so I've had at least 50-60 flashes. The last time I wiped was when I went from CM6 to the first crackflasher builds.

I just came from the vibrant to the g2. I thought the kernel was stock. No oc or anything. Is it suppose to be oc'ed and all that other stuff?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
It comes at stock speeds but you have the ability to OC in Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Performance > CPU
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
The 'stock' CyanogenMod kernel is far from stock... yes it has overclocking/undervolting enabled, along with quite a few other enhancements.

For those showing wifi calling without using tmobile wifi calling, check your call settings >use internet calling option. If you change it to something other than for all calls then android system will be visible in the battery use.

If you flashed the Universal DPI (tiny file), I'm pretty sure its just the Market and it starts downloading and installing your apps right away; give it a few minutes and check your apps to see if any have shown up; or just use Titanium Backup in the future.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kazan22:
If I remember correctly you have to mount system and data in the recovery. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I can flash both cm7 and froyo roms without changing rom manager versions, but not the gapps.

I currently have rom manager 3.0.0.2 but recovery 2.5.x.x

When I try to flash a new recovery image,i get unable to read partitions .

solution anyone?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheBiles:
Your ROM Manager version is completely irrelevant. You need ClockworkMod 3.0.0.x to flash CM7 properly. Period.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wpf54173:
So how do I get it if I get errors when I try to flash?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
Forget about rom manager flash from "fastboot", if you the ENG Hboot., if not use terminal emulator to flash CWM recovery 3.0.0.x, HERES the instructions on how to use flash_image from you phone. If you have a custom rom like CM 6.1.1 running currently you can just follow the instructions from HERE to flash CWM recvoery 3.0.0.x .

Mine has been set to the default "Only for Internet calls", and still no android system showing in battery usage. Even after uninstalling WiFi Calling with Titanium, fixing permissions and then rebooting, it's still showing up in battery usage (but without the icon and now just says: com.android.kineto as using 8% of my battery).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NuShrike:
Agreed. Only time I wiped was coming from stock Froyo months and months ago.

Is there a way to kill wifi-calling? I freezed it with titanium backup and try to force stop it in settings. It still stays on. Do I have to remove it using root explorer?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Why did you want to get rid of it? are you not in the US? You can just uninstall it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hitman818:
I am. I just don't use it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Yea you can uninstall it as far as I know. just keep a frozen backup of it if you get FC's you can reinstall. Not sure if you're aware, but I'm told depending on your plan you can call T-mobile and have them enable a feature on your account that makes WiFi calls cost no minutes. If this is something you'd like maybe you can give it a shot, and give you a reason to keep using WiFi calling lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mejorguille:
Use root explorer to delete the kineto calling app and the GanOptimizer.apk form /system/app, and delete libkineto.so from /system/lib and reboot. You will get some force closes until you reboot but after that it won't have any side effects.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
DITTO! I do the same. I go through Rom Manager and update through it. I make sure I check "include Google Apps" and after the new nightly downloads, I only make sure Dalvik cash is wiped 'only'.

That's it. I don't experience any issues. Sometimes after an nightly upgrade, I do a secondary reboot, but that's it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
Garunteed you will both see issues with kernel changes without wiping. Been there done that, I rely on my device so after every 10 or so flashes she gets a wipe to start fresh, more often if there's a lot of changes and/or kernel changes like 144
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
True, but you'll have to do this everytime a new nightly is installed. I just got tiered of doing this EVERYTIME..

Maybe someone somewhere can create a flashable script that can do this, so we can uninstall wifi calling (which I don't use either) everytime a new nightly gets installed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
So you recommend a 'supperwipe g2+' before I upgrade to #144?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ryandaneri:
Can we get usb tether and wifi hotspot toggle in the notification widget and the power control widget. That would be cool. Or maybe something like sense when you plug in to your pc and it gives you options?

Whenever I deleted the wifi calling apk from system/app, I was getting force closes saying that kineco or something I forgot has force closed. I dont need wifi calling, and I think thats what makes my battery drain a lot faster.

I made a backup of my setup with n142, and then Superwiped G2+, and started from scratch for n144. While that installed just fine, a whole bunch of apps I used on n142 would not install from market, nor could I manually install them. I made a backup of that configuration, and went to my n142 backup. I then directly installed n144 without wiping, and those same apps that would not install are running just fine. Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
I did, and everythings working great. Also guys be careful with restoring apps, I had a uid mis match from restoring and it was the number one partial wake issue. From now on I superwipe and restore just apps without data. Takes a little longer to set stuff up, but I've noticed everything just runs faster this way..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmcqueen:
wifi is already there (I think it says toggle wifi access point or something)

settings->CM settings->interface->notification power widget->widget buttons

last time I checked, usb tether was not an option there.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DJMartini:
Make sure it's turned off first than use titanium backup to remove it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hitman818:
I went to the wifi calling app. i confirmed that it was turned off. I then went to titanium backup to uninstall it and now it says kineto has stop unexpectedly, force close. Do I have to freeze it first then uninstall it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmcqueen:
it's fine. just reboot your phone.. if you're fast, you can reboot via the power menu, otherwise just do a battery pull.

the kineto force close when you uninstall wifi calling has been around for the last 15 nightlies or so and it's never been an issue for me after rebooting.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hitman818:
Thanks for the advice.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mejorguille:
A script? Copy and paste this into gscript and run it when you update to a new nightly.

su
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm -f /system/app/GanOptimizer.apk
rm -f /system/app/MS-HTCVISION-KNT20-02-A0-GB.apk
rm -f /system/lib/libkineto.so
reboot

I've never had an issue compared to some of the others on this thread. No random reboots, no loosing GPS signal, really, no problems whatsoever. There really isn't any need for a wipe unless you really screw something up. I couldn't imagine having to restore all my apps and settings every week just because. If you really need to rely on your device, then running experimental nightlies is counter intuitive eh? Why even have the phone rooted if you are going to have to spend so much effort on it?

If you're scared your going to have problems, run a nandroid and update. If something goes wrong just restore your nandroid. I'm not having any problems with it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
I mean I rely on my device to work, which not wiping can lead to some stuff not working the way its intended. This has been demonstrated over and over again.

Also restoring app data and system settings especially is not reccomended if there have been substantial changes between rom version flashes.

Trust me I never used to wipe. Now I swear by it, performance wise even, you will see a difference between a rom that's been flashed over 15 times versus a fresh install.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mejorguille:
Every once in a while I nandroid and wipe to install a new nightly. It does seem marginally quicker but I attribute that to placebo. I always end up going back to my nandroid and flashing over it. And I've always had a thing against titanium backup, but it's so easy to use many, including myself, just overlook it's shortcomings.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
I did too, I just recently dealt with a horrific battery smashing corrupt or misplaced app data malfunction? Error? Anyways it had its uid on top of my partial wake usage, using 282minutes partial wake. Lol . I wiped and didn't restore app data and haven't even seen it on the list since.

I'm not tryin to start a pissin match, just wanted to state its not a bad idea to superwipe and start fresh if u see any issues that bother u.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmcqueen:
yep. cell phone development is an interesting boat, because we really won't ever find out how our different flashing/wiping/rom switching methods effect the hardware on a long-term scale. perhaps with long-term data, we could definitively say which method for switching roms (even nightlies) is hands-down the best, but since we're all pretty much tossing our phones after a year or two--which is far before the hardware will start to show wear from, say, repeated formatting--we just may never know.

and in that case, I say: do what you feel works best for you.. and if it ain't broken, don't fix it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hitman818:
Coming from a vibrant I never had to wipe data whenever there was a new nightly. You only need to just wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik and fix permissions. Unless its a completely different rom, then wipe.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gee one:
I don't wipe and I don't use TiBackup either! :o

Curious, in my scripts I have been doing "rm /system/app/App.apk"

Still having an issue when running WiFi hotspot that the data on my phone and tethered laptop both cut out for up to several minutes. This has only happened when running hotspot. The status bar shows network activity and conneciton, and this is reflected in "about phone > Status", but you can't load web pages on the phone or laptop.

The weird thing is its seemingly random. Its happened here and there. I regularly tether a few times a week and this hasn't ever happened. Last night I was watching Hulu while tethered for a few hours straight with no issues, then I just connected now and it happened 15minutes in.

Anyone else ever had this issue? I did a full wipe going to Nightly #144 to see if this fixed it and it did not.
