i'm on CM7 #8 and have flashed the new radio and can check/uncheck it...so no problem there.

only problem are the random reboots and bootloops...

really weird things are going on with my nexus when bootlooping :D dark screen, wrong colors, no reaction on hardware keys, forever looping cm-bootscreen :D
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Nfc seems fine for me. I'm able to check and uncheck the box just fine. It stays after a reboot too.

And yes I'm on cm7 with 2.3.3 radio
[Nexus S General] Gilg@mesh:
NFC works also here, Nightly #8 and 2.3.3 Radio...
[Nexus S General] simms22:
NFC works fine here too, latest nightly and 2.3.3 radio.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
Anyone in here have/use a Square card reader with CM7?

is it reading cards for you? Ive been stuck manually inputting cards and it blows, they be taking more of my money :(
[Nexus S General] dsellers2:
Same problem. After I unchecked NFC I'm not able to check it. I get an error
[Nexus S General] solarus2011:
I'm getting the NFC error sometimes, but I can exit the settings, reenter, and check again and it works fine. I'm on CM#7 and using og's cm7 kernel.
[Nexus S General] mrRobinson:
I realized that's what I have to do too. Exit the settings and go back in.
[Nexus S General] anstosa:
I wouldn't be running nightly builds in a phone you use as a POS... You're kinda asking for trouble.

I do a have square card reader though and it's working fine for me. Try clearing cache and dalvik and reinstalling the square app.
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
Oh, that POS.
[Nexus S General] tnpapadakos:
the bootanimation.zip in your download has a thumbs file in part0 folder making a white screen flash in between cycles of the animation when i used it, dont think that was intentional, was it?

removed it and now its seamless

nice work, by the way
[Nexus S General] Darrien13:
NFC works with me. I have the 2.3.3 radio and im on build #7
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
Its not every day business, I use iPad's for those sales, Only use my NS for other stuff thats more off collar
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
i use it on a daily basis and haven't encountered anything wrong.

for best performance like ive said so many times: WIPE WIPE WIPE if you encounter anything strange. Wiping all 3 will result in best performance and bug-free experience, but most of the time you don't have to.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
thanks, it is better now. didnt really notice thd white flash on ghe NS but on my nexus one j noticed. btw, i didnt make it. im not really sure who did.
[Nexus S General] bratfink:
Just a quick question, if nothing is updated on the twitter CMSRC does that mean no changes have been made?
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
http://review.cyanogenmod.com/
[Nexus S General] :
Best thing to do is to wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, everytime you flash a new update;)

JD
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
hence i said "wipe all 3" ;)
[Nexus S General] Mardenator:
I tried this on my rooted CM7 G2. it's gorgeous! only problem is that i get white flashes every few seconds. any way to fix that?
[Nexus S General] foreman31:
If you people are talking about the white flash behind the honeycomb, I would suggest it is supposed to be there

No commits on 2.3.3 at all, I highly doubt it...
[Nexus S General] leyvatron:
That is a cool boot animation. Thanks for that.

Im guessing 2.3.3 will be here by mid next week....
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Laaaaaaaaaaaame!
[Nexus S General] B52:
Flashed #8

so I config my cam and status bar for battery.

then my phone sleep>>> after that phone' screen go black and the boot animation green very dark (repeated).

i go back to RC1.
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
hopefully they keep the old color profile because this new ****ty one that's in 2.3.3 is already in CM render effect setting
[Nexus S General] brian6685:
I like the new color profiles in 2.3.3

Nexus S
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
well if you like the dull colors and low contrast thats your personal preference its already present in CM settings under "render effect"

calibrated (N1)

Id like to still take advantage of SAMOLED infinite contrast ratio with bright whites and vibrant colors and be able to still see my screen outside
[Nexus S General] kaimyn:
Hm - it looks a lot dimmer. Is this going to save any battery life?
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I have used the color profile you're referring to and it looks nothing like my screen on 2.3.3. I would much rather just keep the natural colors and be able to see outside than go back to falsely bright blues, thanks.
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
get a clue you have no clue what you're talking about...seriously

nothing natural about the colors now look s like ****

also do you live in this forum 2000+ post joined 3 months ago
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I actually calibrated screens professionally for awhile so I do have quite a lot of a clue about the subject. Why is what I do with my personal life important to you?

Also, its been demonstrated by a few individuals that there are at least two different releases of SAMOLEDS some of which have different color tints and which have been affected differently by the update. I suggest that you get a clue in this case as you seem to be quite uninformed. Oh and most of the polls I've seen of consumer opinion of the new screen coloration is that it is much better by nearly a four to one majority.
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
LMFAO geek squad...great job you're a true professional :rolleyes:

yes lets get back to topic
[Nexus S General] matt_stang:
Let's chill out with the bickering and personal attacks guys. Or take it to PMs if you must. But this thread is not the place for it. Not to mention, we are all on the same team here right? There's no reason for this sort of argument to take place on a development forum
[Nexus S General] sonnysekhon:
There should be a separate thread for infantile quibbling.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I never said it was classy or even that it was a good job. It was a job I did. I also worked at Coldstone Creamery when I was in high school and as a result, I know quite a bit about how to make ice cream. And a movie theater so I now know exactly how much it costs to make a large popcorn (about a quarter for those interested and most of that is the cost of the bag/bucket) and I will never again pay $10 for something that cost the theater a quarter to make. Oh also, HDMI cables? You know how much those cables cost Best Buy? I bought one for a friend with my employee discount, it was $80 to the general public. I paid $5. People work crap jobs and generally learn about the corporations they're working for - Best Buy is a terrible corporation and they're services are usually a rip off but their color calibration actually does work, but 99 out of every 100 customers you show it to will always say the original screen looked better until you tell them to actually look at the whats on the screen.

I mentioned this test before in another thread about the color issue and I only know of one person who tried it. They admitted that I was right but that they still wanted the old colors back. Here it is: find a picture of a dark cave. On 2.3.2 the cave will look very black and dark, sure, and on a 2.3.3 screen it will look grey and dull. But if you look closer you'll see that on the 2.3.2 screen it is just black; there is no definition to the cave whereas on 2.3.3 you will be able to see the rock formations and the curvature of the cave. Which is more visually appealing? The 2.3.2 screen of course. It looks brighter and more vivid; hell its tuned to look that way. But I prefer to see actual color, not color through a blue lens.

Now, actually back on topic. I am wrong about #8 being from yesterday? I was really hoping for CM7 2.3.3 tonight, I know the commits didn't mention it but I was still holding out hope =/
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
The way i see it, isnt the new 2.3.3 screen color an option in voodoo?

so if you like it or not you can always switch, and supercurio already updated his kernel with 2.3.3 changes, so expect those to propagate to the rest of the kernels
[Nexus S General] simms22:
i did post a cm7 kang on twitter earlier. it would make it "the latest"
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Thats the crackflashers build right?
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
It's a build Joey makes every day based on the latest commits from repo. So for us addicts out there we get our crack twice a day :)
[Nexus S General] simms22:
well no. from the eyes of a crackflasher, everything out there thats flashable is a crackflashers build :p
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Ah ha. I understand. I was just curious if there was an official build tonight because I'm dying to get CM7 with 2.3.3. I have the 2.3.3 radio flashed but even on 2.3.3 with the 2.3.2 radio I got better signal and I much prefer the screen coloration of 2.3.3.
[Nexus S General] nardusg:
I don't think the jump from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 is going to be that easy. Or is it ? What is involved ? All the Cyanogen improvements is done on 2.3.2 so I am sure they already got it going on 2.3.3 but they are testing. I would rather wait a bit longer so that the devs can get it ready for nightlys. Rather than rolling it out and break the nighltys really bad. But then again, we can just flash back to a working nightly.
[Nexus S General] ruben8448:
If i upgrade the nightlies, say from 7 to 8, would i need to do a full wipe or can i just flash over?
[Nexus S General] nardusg:
clear cache

clear dalvik

install zip

fix permissions

no factory reset needed

Nope, no need to wipe unless your phone is doing something abnormal.
[Nexus S General] nickwarn:
I noticed that there hasent been one tweet from cmsrc since the 23 february. And very little being merged when looking in the status:merged. Maybe they all gone on holiday.

A well needed one
[Nexus S General] jonjon68:
Others have mentioned you don't necessarily "need" to do anything but flash over the top. I've taken a different approach based on a couple of things. CM nightlies, and the RC itself, for me anyway, haven't been exactly uh, ideal. And I'm no longer enamored with flashing all the time so having to go back and do what I suggest after the fact, after I've restored my apps, was getting very cumbersome.

So I wiped Dalvik cache and fixed permissions every time I flash something new. May do absolutely nothing but my perception is anyway, it helped cut down on all the crashing and flakiness. Not eliminate but definitely kept my frustration down.

Though now, I'm waiting for 2.3.3 to be integrated before going back. I can't deal with the reboots anymore.
[Nexus S General] 3Shirts:
I don't want to sound like I'm complaining which is why this is a question rather than anything else but are the random reboots and bootloops just due to the pre-release nature of CM7 or am I having an inordinate amount of issues.

I set up a tasker task to count the reboots (as I don't always see it happen) and I get between 2 and 3 per day with it sometimes going into a loop that requires a battery pull. If that is normal then I can live with it as I love CM7 but if it's not, maybe I need to look into why that's happening
[Nexus S General] nxt:
I've had random reboots and bootloops since the first CM7 alpha. Don't know if they're trying to fix it or not.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
maybe it has something to do with the buildbot hiding :(
[Nexus S General] Darrien13:
I've had no random reboots.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
or at least none that you noticed ;)
[Nexus S General] stonew5082:
So if there's no commits, then there's no reason to flash, right? Or am I missing something?
[Nexus S General] stonew5082:
It might be the issue google is addressing in .3 reboots, that is. We should get it merged soon in cm.
[Nexus S General] luca555666:
also with the 2.3.3 i have two random reboot today -_- 2.3.3 doesn't fix the problem
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
I don't think 2.3.3 was to address the reboots although I haven't had one in the last 48 hours since using it.
[Nexus S General] graphreak:
2nd that.
[Nexus S General] sedde:
Anyone knows why i dont have sound in anything? Should i wipe and reflash? Not even in music.

No. It'll happen when it happens. It probably shouldn't take too long for this to happen.

Don't ask for ETAs. I'm sure its a very minor release with the SMS bug fix and maybe some other Gingerbread problems.

[Nexus S General] Drew474:
whats battery life like using CM7?
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Results varies between phones, try it on your own if you want a accurate decision.

But averagely, the battery life is pretty amazing.

Using Screen Filter makes the battery life even BETTER! (it lowers the screen's brightness.. I find super amoled to be still very bright at 0% brightness)
[Nexus S General] matt_stang:
Honestly, great. The Nexus S has the best battery life of any Android phone I've owned. With my G1, myTouch, and Vibrant, the battery would last barely a full day from about 6:30 AM to midnight. My NS can go 2 full days with moderate to heavy use. I've been on CM7 for several weeks now and I have yet to see any ill effects on my battery life.

So in short: battery life is good.

New TMO theme engine will be in todays nightly.
[Nexus S General] Red Fox:
Today I noticed a "G" in the service network icon, instead of an "E" for Edge, my carrier is ATT. Is their a possibility that CM 7 would have, or will add a more stable/solid support for a 3G network, with more variety in service providers?

The "G" network was a nice teaser, at a mirror glimps of about an hour today, using the current CM 7 Nightly build. Hope to see great improvements in future builds.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
G = GPRS which is worse then EDGE. You were probably in a poor reception area because the only thing worse than that is no signal (or gprs in lower caps)
[Nexus S General] The Jones:
Excuse my ignorance. What does this bring us? I havent tried using MetaMorph with this ROM, but I assume it works, so I am interested in the differences.

Thanks
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
It will be included tonight
[Nexus S General] stonew5082:
waaaaiit a minute. Seriously? Moderate usage? Apparently background syncing kills battery, so are you not hooked up to facebook, pandora, google reader, etc? How do you acheive such insane battery life? I work a ten hour day, and my battery dies on the way home. I use my phone only on the way to work, and on my 4 breaks.
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
I don't know how extensive it will be (whether or not icons are included)...but you will be able to change the phones theme in cm settings i.e. change all oranges to greens and so on
[Nexus S General] Red Fox:
Thanks for the clarification, jlevy73.

Will it ever be possible to get a 3G Network connection via ATT with an update?

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
"active" widgets kill battery, why do you think Jobs doens't allow them;)
[Nexus S General] sonnysekhon:
I just checked the 2 new themes from the new theming system. Looks like it will work like a metamorph where the xmls and .9 patches are provided in a decompiled state.

This has already been implemented by AdamG for his famous Oxygen ROM for the Desire.

I am not sure if this will replace the traditional way of theming but its great for light themers.

We will find out more tonight :).
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
Yeah tonight we will see the first of two themes from Cyanogen. Should be interesting.

Important Note: For anyone using any launcher beside the built in ADW one, disable scrolling cache before changing themes. You can add scrolling cache back once the theme has been changed. This per Cyanogen on Twitter earlier today
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
No it won't. The chip inside the Nexus S does not have the proper bands to support ATT 3g network
[Nexus S General] matt_stang:
I do have background data on for google apps like gmail, google voice, etc. I do not use facebook though or pandora. I also do not actively try to conserve battery by disabling data, switching to 2g, reducing brightness etc. I use my phone how I want to use it and still get great battery life. I also don't charge it overnight as doing this repeatedly reduce the life of your battery drastically and much quicker than only charging it when it needs to be recharged and not overcharging.

I think that may be the key actually because with all of my other phones I used to charge overnight and I saw drastic decreases in battery life over time. With my Nexus S I have been leaving it on overnight and charging only for a few hours or so until it reaches full.

[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
ahhh my arch enemy!
[Nexus S General] lonlawrence:
I did a search. No file by that name on my stock EVO ROM (rooted). Must be device specific. So how do the rest of us get the animation to work? I've always had to flash them before, but the instructions say NOT to flash this. No I've not installed any other boot image apps on this phone, but I did many times on my last evo... all had to be flashed. Current boot animation is the stock Sprint/htc one. I'd argue that it's not there for the "vast majority of every else." We just haven't heard from many guys running this animation. Let the Evo owners tell me they have that file... come on guys... where are you?
[Nexus S General] simms22:
i just downloaded an evo cm7 nightly to take it apart and find out where the bootanimation.zip is located. and i found it. i found it where i expected to find it, in /system/media/. use root explorer, not a regular file manager. this is much easier than flashing btw. just copy, paste, then reboot :)

simms/jlevy: Do you guys have some crack lined up for us in case the bot doesn't come through?

reload reload reload
[Nexus S General] lonlawrence:
Re-read my post. I'm running a stock ROOTED ROM on my Evo 4G. It was never mentioned, but now I see this animation and the instructions for installing it only pertain to the CM7 ROM. Doesn't work with stock ROM because we don't have that file in System/media and obviously the stock ROM does not depend on a file being there for it's boot animation like the CM7 does. Oh, and I AM using root explorer, and I DID put it in that folder (but it didn't replace any other bootanimation.zip file) and it does nothing when I reboot.
