While I do agree with this I recently tried the new sense rom and love the dialer on it. After cominng back to CM I could no longer use the dialer so I had to go with a third party. Haven't found one that I really like as much as sense so if anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cswroe:
Yes, it does all the changes automagically and you do not have to mess with phone settings or GV settings.

Anyone else notice that the box that should be in the middle of the camera screen is now in the upper left corner? (u can barely see it when u focus and it lights up green in the upper left corner).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kenzy-FIN:
I have it centered like it has always been.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
Mine is also centered.

My GV has been acting weird lately. I unchecked the “text messages” notification but it still sends me texts when I receive voice mails. Anyony having this issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] csolanol:
I am having the same issue. When i leave the phone sleep, after some time, it freezes and can't unlock it. Display is black and nothing happens (no oced and using ondemand governor). Have to remove battery and power on the phone. I am trying nightly 128 with stock kernel, no oced, just 245 min, 806 max and testing interactive governor too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
I personally use aTakePhone as my dialer

I have the same issue. Mine is in the upper left with only the lower right corners of the box visible.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] philosophics:
Pretty sure it depends on where you're touching the screen to focus. Mine is fine. If that is not the case, ignore me...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Well yeah if you use the touch to focus option, if you touch the center of the screen the box will be there. But if you use the auto focus setting, the box defaults to the upper left (not center of the screen like before). Anyway thats what I notice.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
I had this issue before, and how i solved it was - I went into GV from a PC, and after logging in, I clicked the 'gear' pic on the top right side of the screen, I then picked 'Voice Settings' then select 'Voicemail & Text' then make sure the "Forward text messages to my email" is unchecked. This should solve that issue.

** Edit: don't forget to save changes before exiting.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] petard:
It's not that, as I used to be able to go to 1.5GHz just fine before the switch to the latest kernel. I can't even manually set the CPU to max at 806MHz, that crashes too.

It hasn't crashed all day on 1.5GHz interactive. Hopefully it is stable like this, I can't tell a difference between interactive and ondemand.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mejorguille:
You could always press the search key when in the dialer :)

If you are still using the stock ADW launcher, look up adw notifier. It uses a service to locate new notifications and adds the little unread bubble to any app. Its free on the market.

http://market.android.com/details?id=org.adw.launcher.notifications
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kenzy-FIN:
Yeah, but it's slower as using the dialer -> contacts -> search the contact from the list - method. Nothing can beat smart dialing, I got used to it several years ago with Nokia phones, and it can be done with Android as well, I can't figure out why it isn't implemented in Cyanogenmod as well.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
Using autofocus I have the same thing going on
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
okay, i got all excited that there maybe a solution to show unread GV messages. After looking up 'ADW Notifier' in the market, it DOES do Gmail, SMS, and missed calls, bit it doesnt do GV messages.

I appreciate the lead though. I normally use ADW ex Launcher instead of the ADW stock, so I would guess it will still work. I'll need to test to see.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmcqueen:
you can probably configure adw notifier to work with google voice via chuck norriz mode.

if you download adw notifier it's pretty simple to set up... just enable chuck norriz mode, enable adw notifier in accessibility (and accessibility itself if it hasn't been done already), then add google voice as an app in the cn whitelist.

and fyi, adw notifier does work with adw ex.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
Lol, beat me to it. Yeah, it doesn't work with adw ex

is it just chuck norriz mode that doesn't work with adw ex? because gmail/sms/phone all work fine for me on ex... I don't use chuck norriz mode for anything though so I can't comment on whether or not it functions normally.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
Seriously? Never worked for me on ex and I just tried it again

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmcqueen:
yep, working just fine here. that's weird.

under settings->general behavior->system preferences, do you have "Show notifications" enabled? if so and you're still not receiving the adwnotifier bubbles, make sure the notification bubble font size is > 10... at least for me, when I have it set to 10pt font, the notification bubbles don't appear. don't know why.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
Hmmm, bizarre, font size did it for me. Appreciate it

Yep and Nope!

Yep - I got ADW Notifier to work with my ADW ex, and got all the little bubbles to work with Gmail, SMS, and Phone.

But,

Nope - it doesn't work with Google Voice, even under chucknorris mode. I eventually got a bubble with a question mark to appear, but not functioning fully!

Anyone else got any ideas on a simple GV unread count widget?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rraxda:
I am having an issue with standby (screen off) mode on wifi. If my phone has been sitting on wifi for some time with the screen off, I am having trouble sending texts or making calls once I wake the phone up. The texts won't go through (red x) and the call just ends after attempting to dial for about half a second. This is kind of random so I can't pin it down. Presumeably, I am also missing calls and texts.

I did notice that when this happens sometimes, the 4 bars next to the wifi signal meter gets an X over the bars, eventually resets, and works again. My wifi sleep policy is set to never.

I know this may be a problem with the router and not the phone but hopefully someone can help narrow this down for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
Yay, next nightly will have the fix for the autofocus rectangle incorrectly showing at (0,0)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wilnotdie:
I actually tried going the opposite lol. Phone/contacts from cm to miui (because it didn't support custom number labels)...just couldn't figure it out. Started tossing nonstop fc's. Was actually just turned on to Go Contacts which incorporates a dialer, and so far I'm lovin it. Seems fast for me and its keeping me on miui a lil longer..

Oh and I can't wait until cm inplements a screenshot hotkey combo like miui ( menu+vol down) its flawless.

Hey guys, looking for an estimate of battery life from every one.. My Wife, who uses her phone much less than i do can not seem to get her G2 through a day and I have it underclocked at 800Mhz compared to my Vibrant overclocked to 1.4ghz is going all day..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] deliriousDroid:
Light use two days. Medium use 12-14 hours.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mpmilestogo:
My battery varies. Weekends, light use. Battery remains at 100% through the morning and often by 6pm after being unplugged since 7am is still at 90%. Weekdays, heavier use. Reading news, lots of email with two gmail accounts, some surfing. Battery life is at 60% after being unplugged since 6am. I also use amazon mp3 for streaming my music cloud collection for over one hour walks each day. This often does not dent the battery at all.

The G2 for me has the best battery life since putting the CM7 nightly builds on.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kenzy-FIN:
Yeah, I've used Go!Contacts as well, but I hate the lag between pressing the phone button and starting the app. It takes something like 2-3 seconds to open it first time and it's irritating.

There's now a screenshot-option in power menu (press and hold the power button).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yogi2010:
dang, awesome feature, but it doesn't seem to take screenshots in landscape mode? or does it.....?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
what is the CPU governor? that can make as much difference as clock speed. also, women tend to text a LOT more than guys. they also tend to use the social networking widgets/app syncing which can (depending on update frequency) kill battery

just FYI my settings are 245 - 1113 MHz, interactive governor, JIT enabled, everything else in CM performance settings default. I can get 2 days of light-moderate use from one charge.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kenzy-FIN:
Yeah, I'd say that in moderate use with cyanogemod and streamline kernel, minimun clocks while idling and 800MHz max clock speed the average battery life shuld be somewhere around 36 hours or so. I'm getting 2-3 days, but I'm not that heavy user during working hours etc.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OFinch:
My battery last me 28 hours. and I use it heavly. A lot of text phone calls and emails threwout the day. I found that letting your phone sit for a week without flashing, your battery life grows. Each flash your reset back to fast battery drains, which I hate. Cause I am active on my phone. Some get crazy times because they don't use their phone. Anyways try no nightlies for a week and see. I only flash when either get boored or see something on the changelog I really like.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wilnotdie:
I see what you mean. On first run its a itch, oprning.

Perhaps I can lock it in memory. Oh and yeah the screenshot is nice but it needs a hottkey so there's no menu interactions. I wish I could mix cm and miui lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JPHCCFC:
Im having an issue where the notification clock is not updating or if it is it is doing it behind the actual time.....my lockscreen time is correct, my notification time is 31 minutes behind and my simi clock widget is 6 minutes behind...anyone else having this issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PJcastaldo:
Running the streamline Kernel with Smartass governor 128 min - 800 max. She does have the Facebook widget on a screen but the app is set to not update automatically. I know widgets can help kill the battery, but she only has a clock a battery widget and the FB widget. She doesn't have too many apps at all.. a few games that my daughter plays and thats really it.. She is just getting fed up with bringing her charger places with her..

Honestly its pretty crazy how quickly it drains. I have even gone as far as re-flashing after a super-wipe and re-calibrating her battery.. nothing gets it more than 6-8 hours..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] trsanning:
I had same issue with my old MT3G and it ended up being the battery itself. Buy a cheap replacement from ebay and replace it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yogi2010:
I seem to be noticing significantly more battery drain since flashing build 129 last night, running it with the Streamline5 kernel. on previous nightlies my batt. life was excellent with that kernel. gonna keep an eye on it...

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
Before you buy a cheap battery, what radio is it on? I never got good battery life until i found the ONE radio that didnt have cell standby eating up over 50% battery. Which currently is the latest bell ota radio matched with htc's aosp ril and im on cm7 nightly 128. Radios seem to vary per person, and location. Only real way to find the best one for you is to start with the bottom of the radio list, flash and test for a day or two monitoring cell standby usage. Keep in mind after every change youll want to wipe batt stats and do an efs wipe. As well if your on cm7 use and aosp radio ril, sense rils will drain battery immensly on an aosp rom. Hope ive been of some help bro.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yogi2010:
has anyone noticed more battery drain and the phone running hotter on build 129? could just be me, but I can't figure out what I'm doing differently. been using the Streamline5 kernel since it came out, and all has been great.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
Also using Streamline5 and I haven't noticed any change in heat or battery life tbh.

yeah, I'm running 122/1200, conservative, but that's how I have been running since Streamline came out. oh well, thanks guys, it's good to know it isn't the new build then. it's strange tho, my phone is quite noticeably warmer.

Where are you guys getting this Streamlined kernel?

Edit: Nevermind found it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] quierotacobell:
By matching it with AOSP ril, do you mean using the .30 ril? Just curious to which one you're referring to.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Everytime this comes up i ask the same question and get a straight answer and i think it's because there isn't one. Hasn't it been gone over ad-nauseam that ril matching should NOT be used with CM? And if so why? It's crazy with the genius's here at xda that we can figure out such complicated intricate stuff but have never figured out if ril matching on ANY rom is good or bad!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
Ril matching is very up in the air i agree, cm roms come with an htc aosp ril, the one i use i got from someone and it works even better in my experience. The main thing to remember is to use an aosp radio (tmo) with an aosp rom and ril, itll work better. But some of us, myself included have found different combinations work better. Hence i am using a bell radio (sense) with and aosp ril and aosp rom..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dixxa:
Links maybe?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
They have fallen into oblivion but in either general or QA or hell even dev forum there is at least a 50 page debate on this subject. I'll try finding it. I actually sat there and read the whole thing one day lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Is the AOSP ril thats included in these latest nightlies for .30??? Hope so cause thats the radio i been using!:eek: I have a feeling it's old ass stock m2.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
I wouldnt know to be honest, it would make sense that its a generic aosp ril like the one i use, doesnt belong to an actual radio release. I suppose thats a question with far more expertise than myself. If i ever find time to get on my pc i will post a link to the ril i use if anyone wants to try it out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kenzy-FIN:
Well, everybody keeps saying that the latest CM ril is matched for .30 radio already. However, I've used the ril automatcher, which supports, at least said in its thread, only the radios up to .26. I haven't had any problems with the tool nor have I had any problems without the tool. So, I'm quite confident to say that the latest CM works just fine with the .30 radio.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] skiptomylou11:
I was on 114 and jumped to 129, and my battery life has been below average. Normally if I am busy at work (I have been lately), I will not use my phone much. My battery will be in the 70-80s. But the past few days I had barely been using my phone and by 7 PM or so my phone was in the 30s, the same type of battery life as if I had been tethering for hours. I'm trying to figure out how to get my previous battery life.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kenzy-FIN:
Recalibrate the battery, and use the phone, recharge the battery several times and it starts to last again. It's quite often like that after flashing a new rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nemiroG1:
Read the automatcher thread a bit more. There is a version in there that covers the .30 radio.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Well said, wish more people would follow this instruction.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kenzy-FIN:
Nice to know, haven't followed that thread in a week or so.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] goorpy:
Searched the thread and never found a conclusion to this.

Was it intentional to disable "Bright Strobe" for the Torch or was it accidentally disabled?

7.1RC1 still does not function as it used to in say 7.0 stable.

Edit: To elaborate for diagnostic purposes, as another user mentioned Bright Strobe does "blink" for very low frequencies. Specifically, anything below 2hz/120bpm has a brief OFF period each second. Perhaps this has to do with the way pulse lengths are calculated for the BRIGHT mode, and it has accidentally over-ridden the STROBE pulse length.

Just a thought.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rraxda:
I am on 121 and my battery life is back to what it was on stock. I am running the .30 radio and using the CM interactive governer. Battery life is pretty dismal. Any suggestions on another kernel? Maybe I should switch back to on demand?

ETA: been through several charge discharge cycles and almost postive I recalibrated the battery.

Mass storage working just fine for me. Never had an issue.

The only problem I've had recently was trying to install #131 and got the bad download error when trying to flash 3 times in a row. Must've been an issue on my computer though as the 4th download it worked fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
:( Well went to use navigation today, and the bug from hell is still there. Can't go more than 5 minutes without it losing the signal. Have to restart the app to make it work. It's not the hardware or anything other than CM. This never happens on any other rom, never happens with "navigation" on any other rom, and when i use gps test or copilot it never drops the signal whatsoever. I'm guessing the fact that this has been going on SO long is cause they can't find figure out how to fix it. People will jump down my throat and say there phone does not do that, and how dare i bring up a valid issue and i need to go make my own rom cause i'm now "complaining", but i have talked to just as many who say it happens to them also. CM is such an incredible rom, that even this could not get me to switch to something else! I guess i'll just be relegated to almost wrecking the car to restart the app all the time! :)

Have u tried flashing a different radio?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
I ran into that problem once. I backed out of the app and reopened it and it worked fine. Then the next time there was an update for Maps, the install failed. I tried to uninstall via the Market but that wouldn't work either. I manually deleted the .apk using Root Explorer and then reinstalled Maps from the Market and everything has been fine since.

So once again I believe something was wrong with the app. Try uninstalling and reinstalling it, and then run the EFS wipe.
