[Nexus S General] MisterW00DS:
Quick question. If anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated.

I've been trying to flash nightly build #12 and every single time I get stuck at the CM7mod boot screen. The animation will just loop over and over until I do a batt pull.

I'm d/l'ing the updates through rom manager and once completed the phone will boot into CWM recovery and then proceed to flash the new update then reboot and that's where I get stuck every single time.

Is it required that select wipe data and cache every time when updating from one nightly to another?

anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Once again it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
download it yourself, boot into recovery,you might have to wipe data but try without the wipe first, flash rom flash gapps, reboot your file might be corrupted.
[Nexus S General] MisterW00DS:
Thanks I'll give this a try

You guys are probably tired of hearing this by now, but the themes work on build 13.
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
Never man, but what would be even sweeter to hear is they are incorporated into theme manager :D

Thanks, will do.

Done :)

I've done 2.3.3, CM7 #26, Netarchy 1.3 and KB3 since it's the "best thing" to do right now with our phones.

What I've been noticing though is I've been getting more "H" than 3G now. I could only think it's a bad thing but prove me otherwise. I've been getting my data and txts ok so far. No clue about phone calls yet.
[Nexus S General] nickmv:
H is better and faster than 3g. Think of it as 3.5g. HSDPA capabilities on this phone allow it to download at up to 7.2mbps, or about 900k/sec. 3g doesn't come close. While I've never pulled 7.2, since it's theoretical, I have gotten to 6.7, which is damn close, and quite fast. It's definitely a good thing.

Dang Simms.... those are some wicked speeds right there....

I get about 512 and upload around 600....
[Nexus S General] simms22:
if youre in LA and get those speeds, theres probably something wrong(or you live out in the boonies).
[Nexus S General] generalagony:
I have searched the web and not found anything similar to my problem. When running beautiful Widgets smaller home screen widget there are times when the widget skrinks to about half of its normal size. At first I thought it was the zeam launcher but since deleting it a couple days ago the widget did it again. Has anyone else experienced this on cm7? Not sure if it is a cm7 bug or maybe just an issue with the app but as I said I wasnt able to find the issue anywhere else.
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
Yep true. I get about 4-6mb down and 1-1.5mb up in Los Angeles
[Nexus S General] Vulpix:
I have never seen that happen even on ADW before.

This was taken a few minutes ago over the H-connection in Memphis, TN. I've gotten uploads consistently at 2mb+, and sometimes can get as high as 4.5 up, which is faster than my home broadband connection. Weird huh?

guys, is #26 still the best shot so far for battery life?
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
No idea. I'm just staying on it because its good and I haven't had any problems with it. So I don't have a urge to upgrade
[Nexus S General] Aria807:
Doesn't 26 have that gmail alignment issue w/ the text? Mine's having it. It's not that big of an issue, just a bit on the lower priority since it's not causing the phone to reboot lol
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
I'm running 26 and don't have any gmail issues. might be time to start over with a full wipe;)
[Nexus S General] Aria807:

I think #30 is amazing.
[Nexus S General] nardusg:
Just came back to CM7, wiped everything and installed #30. Like it, no issues so far.
[Nexus S General] mak213:
just use #30, the people saying this has betetr life and this doesnt etc. dont power cycle there phones...for example i flashed #30 and didnt power cycle found my phone dieing quick as hell but when it came down to moment of truth under 20% oddly the percentage was going up instead of down..if that makes sense
[Nexus S General] dsellers2:
Uh...how would you know. I do a clean install on every new flash and have a fresh new battery fully charged (4 spare batteries) and consistently have had a 30% increase in battery life on 26.

Just to clear other things up I always have used the same apps for mostly around the same period of time and I consistently get at least 30%.

Either way when I installed 30 my battery died in 5 hours and I charged it back up and 5 hours again. So I put 26 back on and I get around 8 hours on every charge. I'm a pretty heavy user.

Do or install what you want but don't tell me I don't power cycle my phone or that 26 diesnt have better battery life than any of the later nighties cause that just plain wrong.
[Nexus S General] brian6685:
Does T-Mobile really have 3g boosters or am I an idiot? :) I get barely edge in my house its annoying
[Nexus S General] :
They do but you'd have to call and complain about how poor your signal is and how you heard that they have 3g boosters for people to test.

[Nexus S General] dinan:
Ugh did a full wipe and flashed 26 last night with netarchy 1.3.0 hoping to get some stability but it went into bootloop sitting on my desk at work today =(

Battery pull fixed it... we'll see how long it goes before the next one =\

Edit: UGH ****ing rebooted again. Anyone that gets reboots ever notice it happens most commonly when you're about to do your pattern unlock? Seems its been the case for all CM7's I've had.
[Nexus S General] byock1:
I am downtown Salt Lake City. Always have crappy speeds on T-Mobile. My wife's My Touch 4G can't break 2MB down. My buddy on Sprint with his Evo 4G gets 6MB consistent down.
[Nexus S General] hansmrtn:
Here is a quick CM wallpaper I photoshopped up. Got the original from lifehacker I think?
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
I'd still take the NS with crappy data speeds as opposed to the Evo. If TMO wanted to throw in a little LTE love I certainly wouldn't complain :)
[Nexus S General] jonjon68:
Others certainly have had different experiences, but in mine, ANY other kernel than CM's causes stability so poor, it essentially makes my phone useless. Honity, Netarchy, whatever. CM has given me enough fits as is. But seems to be making strides finally. But put someone elses kernel and all hell breaks loose. SetCPU, no SetCPU, blah blah....
[Nexus S General] dinan:
I ran the earlier builds with no kernels but still had some problems so I dunno. I just can't live without the voodoo color and gamma tweaking! =)

I don't have that much quota left and I don't want to go over! Is it more than 1GB total size?

Oh well, I'm well into it now. Thanks for letting me know :)

[Nexus S General] zephiK:
because its compressed? and possibly includes file datas for other phones rather than Nexus S (Crespo)
[Nexus S General] BrokenWall:
Im trying to switch to CM7 Nightly #26 since Master left us and Axura will no longer be updated as it appears.

I formatted:

/data

/cache

/system

then flashed CM7 #26 and Gapps and got it on my wifi and didn't let it restore any apps or data from google.

I then rebooted and cleared the /cache and /dalvik cache in recovery and flashed NetArchy 1.3.0.0 and booted up and installed SetCPU and Quadrant and then rebooted.

Once back in I set my CPU to 1300/1300 performance and ran 3 benchmarks in a row with the highest being 3172. So I was happy with the performance. I then installed titanium backup to only install the apps and not the data for the apps. I then rebooted and tried running the benchmark again at 1300/1300 and scored a 2236, what gives. I didn't have this issue with the stock ROM or Axura. I have tried running it again and after more reboots and clearing cache and the performance is killed, WTF.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
did you reset your setcpu speed after rebooting? you have to put it back to 1300/1300 after every boot, unless you enable the set on boot. and i highly DONT recommend that, because your phone probably wont boot up at 1300/1300.
[Nexus S General] BrokenWall:
Yes I have it set to boot at 100/1300 ondemand, but before I run a benchmark I launch SetCPU to have it run at 1300/1300 performance to make sure i get a full run at max speed.
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
titanium ftl
[Nexus S General] simms22:
try booting it at 1000/100, then set it to 1300. i think the ext4 script isnt getting ran at boot.
[Nexus S General] BrokenWall:
Tried that as well.

I reflashed and let google download my apps and only used titanium to backup the few game saves that I really care about and everything else I will reset by hand. and it seems to be working.
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
Who's got some crack?
[Nexus S General] generalagony:
More on this comment? Has titanium been shown to affect performance?
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
I really shouldn't have said anything because I don't want to start a war...but titanium can seriously F things up. I realize it works "great" for a lot of people...

but to quote koush "we at cyanogenmod do not recommend using titanium" (or something like that, might take me a while to dig up the original quote...)

Anyways, it seems pretty cut and dry. before titanium 3000+ after 2200
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
That's ridiculous, unless you're running the bench while TB is mid funtion. I've found no performance impact with having TB installed. If one doesn't know how to use TB correctly and they restore the wrong files, that could make a fresh flash unstable.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:

yup same here. battery life seems better on 31 than everything after 26. does the "screen off" animation work for everyone? it doesn't seem to work for me. kinda miss that about the stock rom heh

[Nexus S General] fineiwill89:
so my phone won't go to lock screen, profiles don't show up when i long press the power button, and the home and search keys don't do anything. and ideas? did a full wipe and fresh install of nightly 31 and the latest gapps (which finally decided to install), and tried fixing permissions as well. help please? it is really fast compared to nightly 11 or 13 or whatever i was on
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
wiped dalvik, cache, factory? (just saying this because you didnt fully say which ones u wiped)
[Nexus S General] fineiwill89:
haha my bad, did all of them like this: went to rom managers and wiped data/cache 3 times (just to be sure, i was really annoyed by this point), wiped cache (3 times as well), and dalvik cache (again 3 times). then installed nightly 31, rebooted, flashed gapps, rebooted and logged into my google account. noticed it wasn't working a few minutes later (not sure if it was working before i signed in but i don't think it was.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
1. Boot into Clockwork Recovery (Don't do it in ROM Manager)

2. Wipe Factory, Cache

3. Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache

4. Flash CM7

5. Flash CM7 Gapps

6. Flash Kernel (Optional)

7. Reboot

It's not that difficult. You gotta wipe ALL THREE before booting. Assure you have the latest Radio (KB1 or KB3.. Recommend KB3) and bootloader
[Nexus S General] mcp2009:
Sometimes my phone randomly goes to the boot animation but it has no backlight and sometimes my screen goes black and the buttons are just lit up, this gets very frustrating has anyone else experienced this?

Are you using Netarchy's X.X.X BFS kernel?
[Nexus S General] mcp2009:
Nope I thought that was the problem before but so when I flashed the newest nightly I didn't flash a new kernel and same thing still happens
[Nexus S General] chrlswltrs:

Curious if the random reboots are still a regular issue. I have never had a reboot while on a phone call so it isn't a huge issue but still annoying. I am running nightlys on both my nexus s and nexus 1 and the n1 does not suffer from the random reboots; which makes me wonder if this is a hardware issue and not actually a software issue.
[Nexus S General] chrlswltrs:
On the stock and Netarchy kernels I had reboots all the time. On the "Jame Bond" my Nexus S is extremely stable.
[Nexus S General] generalagony:
Thanks. Will try og kernel tomorrow. Hope that helps.
[Nexus S General] mcp2009:
Thanks for the tip man gonna try this soon. Its not that my phone reboots for me, it randomly goes to the boot animation but it has no backlight and sometimes my screen goes black and the buttons are just lit up
[Nexus S General] chrlswltrs:
I've heard a few other people experiencing this on BFS kernels.

I think every phone is different. A lot of people's are working great with Netarchy's kernels, mine just didn't. I think the key is just to find the one that works the best with your phone. I tried a few different ones before I settled on og. I just really wanted Voodoo and BLN. I wanted to overclock also but stability was more important.
[Nexus S General] BrokenWall:
Just to be safe because of other issues with ROMs I usually always do:

wipe data

wipe cache

wipe system

flash ROM

flash gapps (if using CM7)

flash Kernel

then boot into the new ROM.

Cause I have found out that if I don't wipe system sometimes I have stability problems when moving from one ROM to another.
[Nexus S General] generalagony:
This is the one thing I have been so frustrated about with this phone as opposed to the nexus 1. I understand phone hardware having different tolerance to overclocking but random rebooting is totally unacceptable imo and should be something that can be managed throughout an entire hardware group, not on a phone by phone basis. Sorry if this is OT.
[Nexus S General] noobhero:
but is there the need to wipe for nightlies updating?

seems to be fine no?
[Nexus S General] mcp2009:
I completely agree man. I never had problems with my N1 and tbh I miss it
[Nexus S General] generalagony:
Just cache and dalvik for nightlys. Total wipe for changing roms.

Samsung smartphones. Why I cringed when I heard Google picked it. I knew it wouldn't be as bad as the Galaxy phones (of which I had two variants) because it was a google experience phone vs Samsung atrocious Android ports but it's still Samsung. This will be my last regardless of Googles choices moving forward. HTC is easily the best smartphone maker in the Android Arena. I may give LG a shot though when the G2X comes out. Looks tasty.
[Nexus S General] generalagony:
Agree. Now in an effort to get us back on topic I am gonna stick around a while longer because I have always had good experiences with cyanogen. Great team and I have confidence they will get these issues ironed out. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to a final release.
[Nexus S General] BrokenWall:
I rather wait for the next Nexus phone, but I may also switch to the G2X depending because you should of heard the embarrassment in my voice when I got a call and it was a phone interview and I had to say:

great my phone did one of those lovely random reboots on CM7 #26 and now

com.phone.android keeps force closing on me, even after reboots and clearing cache and dalvik and fixing permissions.

This tends to be one of the issues I have had with CM7 since day one, and I was running at 100/1000 stock clocks all day. I have had this issue only with CM7 and not with (axura or stock).

I did wipe cache/data/system before switching to CM7 #26 last night. Now I need RC3 so I can reflash this again.

I am on KB3 radio -- And if I remove the SIM the phone still gives me the same error before it even notices there is no SIM in the phone.
