ummmm....

In n83 the Clock didn't work an light on buttons.

In N85 the GPS was way out and button light still didn't work.

In N86 still GPS problem and can't open youtube or Gmai as well as the light on the buttonsl.

Now what is fixed in N88? LOL

Does the GPS work without problems? Light on buttons? Gapps work?:D

In all N versions I did a clean update, even the SD-card was formated.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
gapps work fine for me never fresh install just on top :)

gps is always poop for me

lights were fixed in i think 86(temp)

in latest it SHOULD be fixed

its made so the ambient light sensor isnt on all the time when not on auto brightness

when not on auto brightness it uses the sensor when you unlock the phone

EDIT: new kernel will be soon as i see :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] mikelebz:
build 89 is up
[HTC Aria Android Development] bkmo:
Yeah I see that.....they must have pushed it out before the end of the world.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
The world can't end on my birthday!! 89 is loaded on this puppy. Everythings kosher so far.
[HTC Aria Android Development] mikelebz:
Well, happy birthday!
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
Happy Birthday!

Pst...I think you're safe.
[HTC Aria Android Development] bkmo:
Yah man, Happy Birthday. It's not 6 o-clock here yet, but with all the earthquakes here hopefully there isn't one at 6. :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] bkmo:
Button backlighting is still flaky on build 89. If they go out changing brightness will bring them back.
[HTC Aria Android Development] hi2u2:
Wifi is extremely flaky on 89. Keeps dicscing every 15s or so, despite being right next to the router.

I flashed back to 85 and no more discing.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
90 is out.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jlayton15:
Mines not?
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
If WiFi is ON but not connected, it's supposed to search for new APs every 15 sec. If the phone doesn't have a remembered Login for the router you're sitting next to, it will keep searching until you connect. Did you try manually reconnecting to the router, ie. entering the pswd again?

BTW, the 15 sec interval can be changed in the build.prop file.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
I've edited build.prop for a 90 sec scan interval. So far so good on n89. So what are people these days editing in the build.prop that is a must have for these nightlys?
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
The only thing I'm editing now in the build.prop, is the 90 sec scan time. The other build.prop items that I used to patch that addressed data connection speeds, are already taken care of in the current releases of the build.prop file.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Installed Nightly 90 and so far it's looking good. No issues with the WiFi problem mentioned above. Lights for the buttons at the bottom of the screen still not working correctly.

There really isn't anything for the Aria in N90 that I see, that makes it worth installing if you have 89. The single change from 89 - 90 looks like it just affects Samsung devices.
[HTC Aria Android Development] kaboose01:
I'm having a issue with the wifi too on n90. It connects to my router and stays connected for about 15 seconds then disconnects, shuts down, comes back on and reconnects... non stop
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Yea, there does appear to be a WiFi scan problem.

I'm not having any problems with connecting or staying connected, but when I'm connected, the phone is continuing to scan for available APs. There is no logical reason I know of for the phone to continue scanning once it's connected.

Do you have more than one "remembered" AP within range? That could cause your disconnect/reconnect issue, since it appears the phone is continuing to scan when connected.
[HTC Aria Android Development] juggalofr33k:
I on n89 now and all problems I had are gone, but now google music app fc's...
[HTC Aria Android Development] hi2u2:
Yup. I manually reconnected and the issue is still there. I had 0 issues with earlier builds, only 89 and afterwards. Which is weird because there doesn't appear to be any wi-fi related commits in these newer versions.

Seems Nexus One and Evo users reporting the same thing with the latest nightlys.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
I hate to say it, but when I unrooted my phone (to replace the recovery image with the off-mode charging one), I kept it unrooted for a day.

Very snappy - especially opening GMail and settings.

Not that CM7 isn't good - I just was amazed at how fast the stock ROM was.

Maybe I just had too much crap on my phone...

I'll be checking the nightly builds occasionally, but aside from the CM changes, I'm going to stick with the stock ROM for a week or two and see how it performs.

.

.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
This is what 2.2.2 is like, its fast. Its how the phone should perform. But I come back to CM7 because of the themes.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
Yes - I re-rooted it and flashed 2.2.2.

The only thing I don't like about 2.2 is that you can't have a different lockscreen wallpaper than the regular wallpaper.

Yes - I know I can use Widget Locker, but I'm trying to run as much "stock" as possible. And the lockscreen, in the grand scheme of things, isn't really important....
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
You can with CM7??????
[HTC Aria Android Development] kaboose01:
Only my home router... I forgot to mention that when it reattempts to reconnect to my home ap, after losing the first connection data no longer works. Wifi signal bars appear but show no signal strength and no connection to Google data servers.

I've also tried reconnecting after forgetting network. No luck
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
No - Not with CM7. We had this ability in 2.1 with Sense.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
Thats what I thought, I did get a half chub though.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
*TMI*

[HTC Aria Android Development] kaboose01:
That would be awesome seeing as my gf's my touch 4G can do that but not my CM7 based phone.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Have you tried connecting to the router/AP with anything other than your phone, or gone back to an earlier nightly, to make sure it's not a router/AP problem?
[HTC Aria Android Development] kaboose01:
I've tried my laptop, zune, and my gfs mt 4g. all are fine cept my aria.and I'd like to roll back but just haven't had the time to do so yet and can't do that over my phones data cause I only have so much data.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
try using my new updated kernel, it come with a new wifi driver the only downside is no trackball wake
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
I've loaded your 7-5 over n90 and I still have the constant scanning when connected.

The rescan rate also does not follow the 90 sec scan interval I have set in build.prop. I'm seeing it scan every 5-8 sec.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
not 7-5 i have a newer version sorry i only uploaded test version and didnt update the thread i have version 8 which is 2.6.35 kernel ver

EDIT: Link to newest un posted kernel http://www.mediafire.com/file/57v3kygkxpgypey/drowningkernel-8-wifi.zip

going to update thread now
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Thanks, I loaded it but it has no effect on the re-scan of APs when connected.

It does appear however, that the -8 kernel has created another problem. Right at the end of the boot operation (repeatedly), immediatly following a message saying SetCPU has been granted permissions, I get the following FC error:

"The application Cyanogen settings (process com.cyanogenmod.parts) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

I simply flashed the -8 kernel over 7-5.

Edit: I re-flashed 7-5 over 8, and the FC problem disappeared.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
as stated in my kernel thread i have absolutely no issues other than trackpad wake using this kernel, sorry
[HTC Aria Android Development] brivette007:
Bit of an oddity with 89. My camera is taking photos with a blue tint to them (and showing up blue while in the viewfinder). Color effect is set to 'none', in fact, I even restored default camera settings.

Actually, checking it as I am posting this, it looks like reds and blues are swapped. There is a Pizza Hut ad at the top of the forum right now. While it shows up red on my computer, looking at it through the camera it is blue. The Facebook icon over on the right shows up red, not blue.:confused:

Also, the camera app takes a while to load.

I'm going to reflash and see what happens.

Hmm...

EDIT: reflashed, and all is well again. Still, pretty odd that it would do that in the first place...
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
I think this is normal behavior. The bug is just that it's causing you to disconnect.

It has to keep rescanning in order to (1) update the signal strength bars, and (2) check if another nearby AP has higher signal strength and switch to it if necessary, or (3) check if you are still in range of the network at all.

What I mean by that second part is not switching between two separate networks, but switching between two different APs on the same network. For instance a large airport would have many APs spread out throughout the building even though they all show up under the same SSID. If you are walking through the airport, the phone will hand off between the APs just like when you're driving down the highway and your phone hands off between cell towers. Even in my house I have two APs on opposite ends of the house because I had problems getting a good enough signal from certain parts of the house.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Thanks,

I guess I'll have to roll back to an earlier CM7 nightly to see if that's the case. What I was comparing to, was my other Aria running 2.2.2, which I don't see re-scanning once it's connected.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
Perhaps what you're seeing is different than what I'm talking about though (which is happening in the background all the time when wifi is active on any ROM, AFAIK). I'm not running the new nightly so I'm not sure.

Do you just mean when looking at the list of available wifi networks in settings, it keeps updating? Or what?
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Yes, the list continually updates on CM7, and I do not see that on 2.2.2.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
I've got CM 6.1 on my phone right now and it continually updates, too. It's definitely nothing new, at least for CM ROMs.
[HTC Aria Android Development] retired_mnbooze:
I'm surprised this hasn't been posted: I'm using the sliding tab lock screen style, but when I receive calls, the rotary lock is displayed. I'm running n89 and am pretty sure it happened on n88 too. Anyone else seeing this?

EDIT: Nevermind, I just noticed there is a call screen style setting too. Is this new(er)?

Sent from my CM7 Aria.
[HTC Aria Android Development] mikelebz:
yes. this was recently implemented.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Darius_bd:
.

So, how was the wifi problems again? I jumped from 60 to 91 and it keeps disconnecting...
[HTC Aria Android Development] blumenthala:
having the same issue
[HTC Aria Android Development] hi2u2:
nightly 93 solves the wifi disconnect issue, which apparently only happens with routers that are set with static dhcp leases to the phone.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
Nightly 93 with kernel 7-5, then I flashed kernel 8 over it. Wifi, battery works so good. No fc's on boot either.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Darius_bd:
Now that's funny, first thing I did after flashing 91 was to set a static dhcp lease on my phone, after weeks of being too lazy to do it.

But thanks for the info!
[HTC Aria Android Development] juggalofr33k:
I've had an issue for awhile that I forgot about.. if I place a call and get a busy signal, ill take the phone away from my ear and it will go straight to the lock screen and disconnect the call. Very frustrating when trying to be called 7 to win concerts tickets on the radio... I've checked the call settings, but maybe I'm missing something? It's been happening since about n80 or so...

Edit: never mind... I think I figured it out...

Edit edit: nope, still goes to lock screen on a busy signal...
[HTC Aria Android Development] jeebuz:
Sorry if this was asked already. But is there a problem with the GPS always being on?

For example I search my location on maps to see how bad traffic is... then I exit it all together. However the GPS signal is still on even if I go and turn off all GPS settings. This results in my phone getting warm and draining battery..

Also my phone no longer connects to my friend's ATT router. Sad day.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
What Nighty are you running? You need 93 for the WiFi fix.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
I haven't seen this in a while (but fwiw I'm still on 7.0.3) but had that gps problem on some of the earlier nightlies. Only solution I found was to re-open a gps connected app, then close it with the back button....sometimes took a couple tries, but always eventually shut down the gps.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jlayton15:
Anyone seeing that USB tethering not working on 93 or is it just me
[HTC Aria Android Development] kaboose01:
Still having issues with wifi disconnect on 93
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
I am posting this from my Aria running N93 w drowning 7-7 over wifi...all seems well. Has anyone played with the vm heap size or permission management?
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
I've been messing with the permissions. I've disabled network permissions on all my apps that only use it for ads. No issues at all, and best of all, no ads!
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
+1 useful :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
Where do you manage the permissions once you check the box?

Edit: figured it out!
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Would you like to share it? I'm still looking for it.. LOL
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
Sorry about that...

In the Manage Applications area, click on the application like you are going to uninstall or move it.

Scroll down to view the permissions. Touching the permission will toggle between striking it out (disabled) and normal font (enabled).

Be careful, because of the Aria's sensitive screen,sometimes just scrolling will cross out and disable the permission.

..
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Thanks, I looked in Manage Applications first, before finding the Permission management checkbox, but never went back to Manage Applications.. :rolleyes:

I need more coffee....
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
Also +1 it is very helpful.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
Anyone try changing the heap size to 48?
[HTC Aria Android Development] best98:
ok, I got it !

Good one !!!
[HTC Aria Android Development] mtnlion:
Sure did.no problems

[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
Feeling really adventurous. I am running n93 with Drowning 8-1, with app permissions on and VM heap size at 48m. All seems well, everything works, no smoke coming out of the phone.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
I take that back...started experiencing choppiness (intermittent) with 48m heap. Went back to 32m...good to know it's there for bragging rights though!!!
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
I may be all wet here, but I believe the 48m heap option is intended for phones that are a bit more wealthy in the available memory department.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
That could be true...but still nice to try and say I can...32m seems to be optimal for us though
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
I didn't run the phone at 48m heap very long, but I did run a few benchmarks and there was a noticeable decrease in the results from 32m heap. I've found 16m heap to be the best performer overall but unfortunately it also gets quite a few fc's on more memory intensive apps. 24m heap seems to be a good compromise between performance and overall functionality.

So hit two common problems others were having; I cant enable USB connection with a PC nor I can get a fix on the GPS (not the same as the first nightlies GPS problem, this time it can see the sats and get them fixed but still not lock on the position, AGPS data flushed)
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
I can't even get a gps signal at all, after a full wipe :(

Usb works fine
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
I've noticed that gps is pretty slow and sometimes doesn't lock ever since they changed the gps lib. I've been rocking out ladios' test rc4 forever now and its with the old libs. I love it! I get a lock under 10sec in 2 story building without ever useing agps apps. How can I use newer nightlys with older gps lib. I'm a noober.

I would love to try these newer nightlys with older gps libs. I use what i use cause I drive constantly. How can this be done?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Darius_bd:
The behaviour here is that I click in the notification advice of USB charging, it expands a black square and immediately goes back to the "desktop". Maybe a re-flash would fix it but I'm lazy.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
Happened to me before, reflash fixed for me
[HTC Aria Android Development] tribestros:
I've upgraded to the Inspire, guys. So I'll take my *****ing over there, haha. But just saying a goodbye to my CM7 Aria friends.

Hey tribe, enjoy the inspire... don't be afraid to stop back in and let us know how the battery life is ;-)

J/k, take care man.
[HTC Aria Android Development] mikelebz:
Question: Is there a way to disable the proximity sensor during phone calls? For some reason the screen becomes spastic during calls turning on and off, and taking it away from my face when the call is done, sometimes it is a struggle to get the screen to stay on; having to spend 5-10 seconds hitting the power button. I would rather the screen just remain off during the phone call and once the call is completed, I will just hit the power button or track ball to wake the phone up. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. If this is currently impossible, I would like to submit this as a feature request.

Thanks a lot,

Mike
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
My best guess would be to use Tasker to turn off your screen when you start a call and turn it on when you hang up. I don't think there is a setting to keep the screen off during a call without using the sensor.
[HTC Aria Android Development] brivette007:
Wow, next nightly looks like a bigg'un. And a couple Aria-specific fixes for offmode charging and IP renew. Now if we can get it :D. This lack of nightlies the past few days has got me antsy :p.
[HTC Aria Android Development] hi2u2:
Same here, lol.
[HTC Aria Android Development] mikelebz:
I'm sure they will publish it tonight.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
off-mode charging

Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't the only way to have off-mode charging on CM7 is to use the specific recovery image?

Or is there some setting I'm missing in the latest builds of CM7?

.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ladios:
Me and attn1 enabled offmode charging for CWM long ago. The fix is for other devices (for WildFire, to be specific). You won't get any benefit unless you build the recovery from source and then flash it.

Most of other devices have IP renew service added, so I added it for Liberty as well. No obvious improvement, though.

The highlights of all the changes, imo, were those for the new V8 JavaScript Engine.

There is always some changes not shown in nightly changelog, if those were merged from upstream. For instance, Terminal Emulator's updated.

You have to build the recovery yourself and flash it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] hi2u2:
Can you build it for us to download? Or provide instructions on how to do it? :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] ladios:
Read about the CWM3 limitation first. That means you can't flash FR008, or any radio. If you still want it, then I'll upload one.
[HTC Aria Android Development] mtnlion:
So gene Poole's rom and cm will still be fine but nothing older.what about current nandroids?I take it they'll be useless also?
[HTC Aria Android Development] kaboose01:
I'm assuming that im the only one with wifi issues still on n93? :confused:
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
Ok - Now I'm confused.

There is a recovery image (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1025704) that specifically allows off-mode (device off) charging.

I tried this, and thought it was a great idea.

The comments in the CM7 change log seemed to indicate that somehow these newer ROMs support this in a way that don't depend on the recovery image (and can work with the one included with UnrEVOked.

So I was asking if some of the latest builds did NOT require this optional recovery image.

Have you tried what worked for me yet?? Go into the File Manager go to Android then Data and delete the com.google.android.apps.maps directory (if you have maps installed you may want to uninstall it first ) and then try using GPS Status or GPS Test to make sure it works before re-installing Google Maps.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Nutshell69:
I will try it - thanks!

There is no com.google.android.apps.maps in the Android/Data folder

Found this GPS fix on Cyanogenmod forum. Reinstall CM6. Reinstall CM7 nightly as normal without formating system. This worked for me. Thanks to jstiel for this fix.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:
Well count me as one of those in that area with GPS issues. But mine started before today when that article says those "tests" will be going on.
