Impossible to find anything because the search feature on this forum is busted.

Check the sticky, there's a link to the radio thread there.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Its really easy to find stuff if you know how to use the search function properly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erieboyz:
Yea I agree. And I'm an avid reader of these forums. I'm not trying to be rude. All I'm saying that I'm sure the devs know about these issues are are workind diligently to find a solution and I personally wanted to give thanks to cyanogen (as well as everybody) for helping out. I just haven't seen many people do the same
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erieboyz:
I agree. I can't speak for anyone else but I really don't care about the gps. Everything works great!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] funkeee:
The search function was down for the longest time. I kept getting the error for months straight that the search will be back in 20-30 minutes. I must have really bad timing. It's working now, so nevermind. I found the radio thread, thanks.

Been using CM7 for a while now without any real problems but I have been consistently having one issue:

Sometimes after pressing the screen lock button, my screen won't turn on but my Home key row lights up. After a few more presses of my lock key I eventually get the screen to light up. Anyone else experience this issue?

CM7 Nightly Build #17
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Yes, same here.. are u OC'ing? And do u have the on/off screen animations on? If so, that's the reason for the issue.. I still have both on, but meh, the screen still turns on.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dkmurphys:
Yeah I've been OC'ing to 1401 w/ ONDEMAND. I recently shut off the on/off animations and have still had the issue a couple of times.

Another issue I'm having but aren't sure if it's CM7's fault yet:

I can't receive MMS anymore.

I've checked my APN and ensured that my phone number in my call settings only contains digits, but I still can't seem to get it to work. Upon receipt of a message, the default app just force closes itself.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] funkeee:
Fixed the GPS issue on #17 by using this radio:

Vision_RADIO_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17. It works just fine in the US.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OKYRIPQW

To flash radio you must have radio s-off using gfree.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=855764

You need to downgrade to the stock kernel or 6.1.0 for gfree to work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] funkeee:
Try to reduce the maximum speed and see if the problem goes away. I had the same problem when OC'ed around 1.4GHz or higher. I'm not sure if your issue is similar to what I had: when I hit the power button more than once rapidly, the screen flashed but didn't turn on. Hitting it firmly only once turned the screen on just fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tbalden:
If u search carefully ull find that if u set brightness over 50, no auto brightness, u can oc to any, and will have no screen wake issue.

After Downgrading to Stock Radio (26.04.02.17) I have instant GPS signal with #17.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] andi_o:
i can confirm that there is a new/differen gps issue.

i never had any gps problems before.

on #15 and #17 gps works only the first time i use it. if i toggle off and on again gps does not work. after poweroff/poweron gps works again - exactly one time.

back on #13 no gps problems - so it seems toggle function is broken

i am not sure, but if i remember correctly toggling gps on/off on #17 disconnected wifi...

i don't think it's necessary to mess around with radio's - go back to #13 and wait until toggle is fixed.

Build 18 is up......
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hogg2500:
I posted this in the General Section but I figure I might as well post it here too. It may be useful to people.

________________________________

I have found that if I leave my GPS ON before I flash a new nightly or ROM, that it works fine. I have only ran into the GPS issue a few times but that was because I had it off before I flashed a new build. Never messed switching RADIOs or anything.

Here is what I have done to fix issues:

-If I flashed a new CM7 Gingerbread ROM without GPS ON prior to the flash, I usually go back to CM6 and turn GPS ON and then reflash the CM7 ROM and it works.

-Yesterday had a strange issue though, I went to Flash a new CM7 nightly and sure enough I forgot to leave GPS ON. So I went back to CM6 and tried to turn GPS on and it didn't work. So I then Flashed one of the MIUI ROMs and that still didn't work. So then I tried Flashing the newest Nightly from CM again and it worked very wierd.

That has been my experience with this GPS issue. Some how I have managed to fix it myself without too much trouble. Hopefully this helps people with these issues.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gwar24:
My gps has been sketchy thus far. I was using the aus radio but that was an insane battery drain. Flashed this radio a few mins ago and i get an instant lock every time.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] merdely:
FWIW, I tried both 12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17 & 12.28h.60.140f_26.06.02.27 and see the "works once" issue with both.

Using the gps.vision.so from #4 also exhibits the "works once" behavior. Prior to #15 using stock radio, #4's gps.vision.so worked for me.

I'm using #18 (backup, wipe cache & dalvik, flash 18 from 17, fix perms).

So nobody's feelings get hurt: CM7 is the best ROM I've used today. Steve is a god. I'm a moron for having GPS problems. Sorry for wasting your Internets on this thread.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dkmurphys:
Upgraded to 18, seems to be no additional problems. Notification bar icons have shrunk.

Question:

Under the APN settings, Bell has told me I need to set my MMS Protocol to WAP 2.0. But unfortunately this doesn't seem to be an option in my CM7 #18 build :confused:. Any suggestions?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NuShrike:
Does #18 still have the GPS off/on problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dkmurphys:
I'm fully aware of those settings. My problem arises within the phone. MMS Protocol doesn't exist:

And authentication types are NONE, PAP, CHAP, PAP or CHAP but not WAP.

Sorry but I've never had any GPS issues, so it's likely not fixed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ostinq:
For me yes, I am on the stock ota radio 26m
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Yes it does. Even downgraded my radio to the 26m version to see if it would help.

Also can someone explain where the RAM goes in Gingerbread compared to Froyo. Its something Im curious about. Ive been running the stock post OTA Froyo 2.2 rom for the last day and noticed my free RAM was in the 180-210 mb range. With CM7 and stock gingerbread launcher (just reinstalled again today after a day away) has considerably less free RAM, closer to 130-140 range. This is with the same apps installed and running.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] theratdude64:
I don't get to update too often anymore, no free time , or I need my phone for calls when I am free :(

But the last few I've gotten have been quite glitchy and going downhill. Status bar issues, my GPS keeps locking on but I think I see people saying that... and I'm having INSANE battery loss. I know people always complain about battery but it has been quite unreasonable. Even with a screen off 245/245 profile my battery goes completely dead in like 8 hours with light use.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fubaaarrr:
Anyone else having problems with 2g connectivity? Cant connect on gsm only setting. Funny thing is, that when on WCDMA preferred and it drops to 2g, its working fine. Any solutions? Otherwise, nice rom!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
Wap is just a protocol, not authentication type. All you have to do is set the fields that you have available; proxy, port, etc... everything else should be auto-negotiated.

Have you tried sending a test picture to your self?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] merdely:
With Wifi disabled and Use 2G Networks Only checked, I can connect to Google Talk. Wifi & 3G+ networks also work well for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
I always wonder the same thing.. when I first upgraded from froyo to gingerbread (early feb.), I noticed a drop of mb at boot when the phone was done loading.. same as your range before and after.. hopefully someone can answer our concern of our mb drop.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crachel:
does the stock OTA Froyo 2.2 have 720p? if not, more memory was probably given to the camera to accommodate 720p recording
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BobbyHill:
I hadn't experienced any GPS troubles until nightly #17. Updated to 18 today, and GPS seems to still be working fine using the 26_m radio.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gwar24:
I was on 17. Then I noticed this weird little transparent slice in my notification pull down. Anyone else get this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
I believe it has HD recording, not sure didnt use the video recorder. But Im fairly sure the G2 shipped with the ability to record HD.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gwar24:
Here's a pic.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NuShrike:
I have even less free @ 11M (going by SetCPU).

However, with full-OSs like Linux/Android, you should go by Cached, Buffers, and Inactive since free-memory is wasted memory better used for caches and buffers.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crachel:
ok thanks, I wasn't sure. I've seen devices vary in available RAM in the past and it was due to the camera adding features
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dkmurphys:
I'm able to send images to myself and to receive images from myself but I've also had another person try to send me an image MMS but it doesn't come through.

The problem I'm mainly concerned about arises when my girlfriend sends me long text messages as MMS. They didn't used to be a problem and I could receive them just fine, but lately I've been unable to receive them. She hasn't done anything to her phone, so I'm assuming it's a problem on my phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nyflyguy:
I get this as well.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
It seems like when I lowered the VM Heap size from 32mb to 24mb seems to give me a bit more mb at boot.. try it out: cm settings>performance>vm heap size

My GPS has always worked as well until 17, it works OK but when I do the following sequence it stops working till I reboot:

So for those that say they have no GPS issues please run the above sequence and see if you still have GPS & Icon without a reboot.

I don't have this on mine.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
Your ability to send pics to your self indicates that the settings are fine. If your gf has a different carrier and unable to send MMS to you then thats a network problem and out of your control. Have you tried using the old setting for MMS?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] merdely:
Interesting. Looks like its affecting other phones as well (Nexus One):

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
The notification drop down power widgets are super small now! They were pretty big before, but something between the old and new would be nice. Or maybe a slider to adjust sizes in CMSettings??

Also, I think I'm experiencing some semi-serious battery drain with #18. Not sure till I have a full-days use on it.

Since Build 17-18 GPS has not been working properly for me.

Usually takes 2-3 seconds literally to have a gps lock, now it doesn't even lock.

Starting to consider reverting back to 13. (Fortunately I have a dedicated GPS for my car so I didn't get lost yesterday :P)

I don't think these last few nightly's play nice with LCD density changer.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Same here. I am running an LCD density of 200. Maybe this is the cause?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nyflyguy:
I have my LCD density set at 205 and I also get the little glitch. It only started happening after the last 2 or 3 builds.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
I never had a gps problem, and always get a lock inside my house in under 15 seconds.. but doing your sequence (gps on, off, on), made my gps not respond for some reason.. no icon, nor a lock.

This is generally the case for most people. If you reboot ur GPS will work till u turn it off then it won't work again till another reboot.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
As many of you know, I'm one of the people whose GPS was unable to get a lock after build 4 -- even with the new radio (AUS ..27). Sure enough, it locks faster than ever now that I've reverted back to the stock post-OTA radio (03.02.26).

I don't know why, but I'm happy to have my phone sorted now (the new radio was sucking battery life anyway).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
That helps a tiny bit but not too noticeable.

To build upon the RAM issue. Before I start I know I'm gonna hear it for using benchmarks but I've found Smartbench 2011 to be fairly accurate.

Both roms are using Pershoots latest kernel overclocked to 1.017 ghz. I made sure any useless apps were not running or cached.

On the stock rom, this gave 207mb free ram. In productivity it scored over 1200 and over 1200 for gaming. Ran about five times and scores were consistent.

On CM7 rom, this gave 167mb free ram. In productivity it failed to score over 1000 or barely did so and scored over 1200 for gaming. Ran about 7 times and scores were fairly consistent.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] schaggo:
So did I. 20% on a 30 minutes train ride and the other 80% in the following 5h of work. With the phone mostly laying on the table in front of me. No WIFI, WIFI even off completely, no surfing, no calling, no texting. I believed it to be the radio which everybody refers to as the AUS radio. I found it to be the nightlies starting around build 8 though. I flashed nightly 40 over nightly 13 - no wipe, no cache wipe or anything, just a flash ontop 13 - and battery was back to normal. It's something in the lastest nightlies which ruins CM7 for me. Can't track it down though. It's untraceable like that, it's simply just battery gone in 8h standby or 1% a minute with screen on doing something.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Amazing! I wonder how I manage to get 30+ hours on the same nightlies..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] schaggo:
I know, I suspect it to come down to differencies in hardware.

I have a QWERTZ-Vision bought in Switzerland, so it's an 1.xx.405.y version. I can't exactly tell which one, I don't know which "y" mine would be (theres at least 1-5 judging from updates. Anybody has a hint how to match device serials/product id/code and regions?).

I for example also never had any GPS issues where everybody was screaming like hell until recently, I believe 13 or 14 but never before. On GingerVillain which I'm running right now I also get about 40 hours with light usage. Same radio as before. I did downgrade this night because of WIFI issues though...

Just for the fact that you should be able to turn it off and turn it back on and have it work. Are you still:confused:? I leave my GPS on all the time, but it is still a bug and thats why people are posting about it.

My battery went down 10% in the last 25 or so minutes. The last few nightlys have been rediculously bad for me :( I was screwed yesterday on a long bus ride. Even at 96% battery I underclocked the phone to 245/245, turned off sync, set to 2g only, and lowered brightness and battery STILL unreasonably tanked. That was after being on the same nightly for about a week so it wasn't because I just flashed. I flash at 100 battery every time.
