My wife has a G2 and it has slow wifi also, only 4-6Mbps just like my MT4G. It definitely doesn't seem like a rom/wipe issue since my wife's completely stock G2 can't even get half the speed my laptop does. I just don't understand how some people get 14-15 Mbps, and I can only get 4, it seems like a router issue. Maybe my router doesn't play nice with smartphones. I have an official tmobile linksys router from back when I had the @home service that I'll try. I'll post the results here in a little bit.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] j21blackjack:
No change at all on the tmobile router. Still just as slow.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
I am connected to @home Linksys router, and get 14mbps initially. For some reason though, the speed slows down over a few hours. Reconnect and it is back to 14 again.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] xXy3kXx:
That camera 360 app is **** too.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] camalus:
I'm using a netgear n router with dd-wrt firmware. I usually run at 50meg down. (I have fast internetz). I do get the same issue of just my phone slowing to a crawl.

If I turn on airplane mode and then off... back to full speeds.

Same with usual H. Will go down to 1980s dialup speed. If I rescan mobile operators and select T-Mobile then cycle airplane mode... I go back to 4-5 mbps.

This is on a total fresh wipe of 8 with modded build.prop and stock cm kernel.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
Then buy a real camera and have done with it!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] camalus:
Its actually really good when you learn to use it. If you are that concerned with using the stock camera app.... go back to stock.

The stock camera app wont work on cm. Period. Crying about it wont fix it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
You're whining and complaining as opposed to taking the collaborative problem-solving approach.

"This doesn't work and it's pissing me off!"

instead of

"Experiencing this issue and tried these fixes (x, y, z) so far. What's my next step?"

Make sense?

RE: WIFI

Has anyone checked their router settings to ensure that wireless-N is enabled? (Camalus exempted, he obviously tried this already).

I saw a big boost in speed at home with that simple setting. I would set my router for N only but my mt4g is the only device I own that supports it, lol.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] camalus:
Yes you are. We answered that question 3 pages ago. You keep bringing it up.

No it doesn't work. Jog on. If you don't like it... go back to stock. Or make it work yourself.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
Ok guys, lets get back on track.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] j21blackjack:
Wireless-N speeds are 150Mbps to 300Mbps, wireless-G speeds are up to 54Mbps, and my DSL speed is 15Mbps. I get 15Mbps on my laptop on the same wifi connection that my phone can only seem to manage 3.8Mbps. I have never come across a need for anything faster than "g" speeds personally, especially since the fastest internet I can get is 15Mbps. I just don't understand why neither my G2 or my MT4G can get decent wifi speeds. The most I've seen on either one is 6Mbps.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Is everyone using the speed test app? My buddy who works for Comcast claims that it's inaccurate. We tried speakeasy.net and saw much higher numbers.

Just now at home I pulled 2mb down with speedtest app and 13.79 down with speakeasy.net.

EDIT - laptop just pulled 2mb down with speedtest.net and 13 down with speakeasy. Numbers match.

Thoughts??
[myTouch 4G Android Development] j21blackjack:
Just checked with both sites, both are exactly the same for both phones and my laptop. 3.8Mbps on MT4g and 6Mbps on G2, 14.8Mbps on the laptop
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
So you have a wifi problem and I have a speedtest problem. Awesome.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] j21blackjack:
It's funny that just a few months ago I had only ever use DSL at 1.5M speed and had a flip phone that I could barely text on, but now I'm annoyed because my double overclocked super phone only get 6Mbps dl! Lol
[myTouch 4G Android Development] aagvain:
i posted this in the Q&A section but havent gotten any responses......wanted to see if anyone else has come across this.

regarding video chat/ffc while using qik. i modified the build.prop to ro.product.model=Nexus S

which enabled the "switch camera" option within the video mail portion of qik.

i havent tested video chat yet however prior to the build.prop change the camera defaulted to the rear camera only.

has anyone come across this mod and tested it out using video chat?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mistic99:
LOL! Love it...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] camalus:
Holy **** it works. Just did a video call with the wife. Front camera works no problem.

That is awesome!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] aagvain:
thanks for validating i appreciate it
[myTouch 4G Android Development] camalus:
Speakeasy is the way to go. Speedtest app has always been off for me.

Oh.. I work for Comcast too... and I agree with your friend.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
Did she see you upside down?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mulletcutter:
Thats been fixed
[myTouch 4G Android Development] camalus:
No. Worked great. Was sitting next to her on the couch to double check. She runs a non rooted mt4g.

Where is this file located and what is the exact way of editing it?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] joackie27:
It's located in /system. You need to mount /system as R/W if you want to edit build.prop. If you have Root Explorer, just long press on build.prop and it will give you the option at the bottom to Open in Text Editor.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] everest.deth:
*posted several times*

Open root explorer (or a capable file manager) and go to /system/ and then look for "build.prop" tap and hold the file and select edit from the scrollable menu, update configs as u please, hit save and exit, voila

They are working on updating to 2.3.3. Not sure when it will be ready. Cyanogen said there wee still some rough edges to figure out.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ziggy34:
I've said this before, You people make me sick. I only have 1.3 mb DSL at home, and my tmobile at home is only GPRS, I was at a doctor's appointment this afternoon, I got EDGE.

So I really, really have trouble feeling sorry for you guys only getting 6 mb download speeds on your phone.

On another note, has anyone tried the FM radio. I plugged in two different pair of head phones and all I get is static. I can't get any stations.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mulletcutter:
Damn, how much of a change 2.3.3 is? I heard there is a screen shot built in...but not much else.

thread for dealing with battery myth and fact?

To mods and others who have more knowledge than I: I'd like to suggest starting a thread to sort out all of the conflicting opinions on battery life in the general Android forums or in this forum, but leave it to you to do if you see fit.

Like a number of other folks, I've seen my battery life go way down recently, and I've read and tried a number of the techniques for adjusting battery stats. I've tried bump methods using the stock recovery, I've tried erasing stats, full drain and full charge, I've tried letting the phone go through 80% of its charge and recharging normally for a couple of cycles and no luck.

I've seen various conflicting opinions on which if any method is likely to work, or is bogus, etc. including (but not limited to) these:

article about bump charging

post about the pointlessness of bump charging

others abound that tout draining completely or that dismiss it as bad for the battery and useless.

Worth starting a thread and hoping for some kind of definitive answer that can be posted in various FAQ threads? Could be helpful to many if there is such an answer, and I would be grateful to get my batt life back, personally, if there's a way.

Or maybe it really does have something to do with the specific builds.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jentzschman2000:
That wont jack up anything?

i just flashed the rom for my friends mytouch 4g and everything is running smooth except one major problem, there is no market in here ? please can someone help me out, what am i doing wrong ? thank you guys
[myTouch 4G Android Development] camalus:
You need to install Google apps. Its a seperate download.

Thanks, trying now.

Will call my sister and see if it works.

One issue is on my qik it wont show my sister as a qik user, and she is. But on heres she can see me as a qik user.

What gives with that?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] j21blackjack:
So I flashed the ice glacier rom just to see what my wifi speeds would be, and lo and behold my speeds are close to 10Mbps. That's a drastic improvement over cm7. I do like cm7 much better than stock sense, so looks like I'll just have to live with it and hope the next update will fix it.

Odd launcher issue?

So far in the past week my launcher has disappeared twice. The only way I can bring it back is by rebooting the phone. I was running CM7 RC1 the first time I saw this. Now just had it happen with NB 7. Anybody else have this happen? Anyone find a way to fix it?

Thanks,

RA
[myTouch 4G Android Development] graffixnyc:
Hey Option,

did you do any further tests on changing the VM heap? What was the outcome? Bumping it higher is better or does it not really make a difference?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tnpapadakos:
something i would like to see done is a "resend" option in MMS.apk for texts that dont go through and a "resend" option in gmail, for... well... the same thing

also, would be nice to multiple-select emails when trying to delete them or move them

just in case someone's looking in on this
[myTouch 4G Android Development] leo221:
launcher doesn't come up or launcher icon missing? it maybe hidden. put your finger on the launcher icon(square grid thingy), swipe up hides it, swipe down brings it back.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
the thing with battery life, is there is no definitive answer. Thats why there are so many conflicting ideas about it. Try a few ways, see what you think works for you, and stick with it.

What I do know as scientific fact, is that if you discharge li-ion batteries completely, they develop crystals, an will never be able to hold a full charge again.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] graffixnyc:
While you had IG installed you should have checked the build.prop to see if the mods we are making here are any different than the settings there. I was thinking of going back to stock and checking the build.prop settings there and also compare the speeds of stock to cm 7
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
Didn't seem to make any difference for me at all. Wish it did, I really want that damn microbes wallpaper to work. And the fact that it works temporarily makes sit worse. Its like a teaser.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mbernusg:
I replied about this airplane mode cycling earlier.. i can confirm it fixes my issues.. as for blackjack I was using at @home router and recently switched to an n.. over time the physical antennas go bad and they definitely weren't made for wireless devices other than laptops.. my ps3 flies now
[myTouch 4G Android Development] graffixnyc:
With my laptop right on my lap connected to wifi and my phone sitting right next to my laptop connected to the same wifi (which is 10 feet away from me) I'm getting about 15mb DL on my laptop and about 10mb on my mt4g. upload speeds are the same (I think time warner NYC has a 512 upload cap for residential)

The highest I've EVER gotten on H :eek: (ok.. that sounds bad! hahahaha ) is about 2.2MB and that was in manhattan where Tmo's H service is suppose to be really strong :( I've never seen 3mb let alone 5
[myTouch 4G Android Development] j21blackjack:
Dangit, good idea. Unfortunately I didn't do that and I'm already back on cm7 with max download speed of 4Mbps. I guess it's back go IG fort a peak at the build.prop
[myTouch 4G Android Development] radamo:
Thanks! Previously I had only used Zeam (which I still may switch back to). I was unaware of the hide "feature". I had to enable "show". Only hide was enabled so I could make it go away but not come back... LOL.

RA
[myTouch 4G Android Development] graffixnyc:
:( oh well.. Thanks for trying for us!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ziggy34:
What you are talking about is the Hidden Dock bar.

When you swipe up, you are displaying the hidden dock bar. You can drag shortcuts from your home screen down there.

When you put your finger on the hidden dock bar and swipe down, you normal dock bar will come back. I turn it off as it's annoying to me.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] j21blackjack:
Back on IG, but now my wifi is just as slow, only getting 4Mbps. Incase anyone is curious, the prop file is pretty much the same as cm7, except ig has gps in mode 2 by default. Looks like it's back to cm7, maybe one day I'll figure out what is causing this crappy wifi speed problem.

Maybe it's an app, I ran the first speed test on ig before I restored any apps. Then I restored all off my downloaded apps from titanium. I was getting almost 10M before installing all of the apps, now I can only manage 4. Guess I'll have to factory wipe and do the apps one at a time until I find the problem. It'll have to wait until tomorrow though, I've got to get some sleep.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mbernusg:
Editing the build prop didn't effect my qik.. hm
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tpulu:
Try rebooting after editing the build.prop...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] graffixnyc:
It has been said many, many times that the FFC issue is an issue with the actual apps themselves not the roms. At first tango was the same way but it has since been updated and works. qik, and yahoo messenger have not updated their apps yet for the ffc to work in 2.3

so no matter what you try.. it wont work.. lol

edit: unless you can get the qik source code :p
[myTouch 4G Android Development] camalus:
After editing my build.prob to show my phone as a nexus s... and redownloading qik... my ffc works correctly. Tested about 10 times tonight calling my wife's stock mt4g.

She's not to happy with me right now. Lol
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mbernusg:
Actually after a reboot it does work on build 8.. BONUS
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jentzschman2000:
I can also confirm the camera switch worked for me. The quality sucks balls though. I tried calling my sister and neither one of use could hear each other.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ziggy34:

[myTouch 4G Android Development] smonme:
did you wipe before hand? completely or just cache/dalvic-cache... I have 11 downloaded im just waiting for phone to charge back to 100% .
[myTouch 4G Android Development] phaino00:
Wiped cache and dalvik only. All is good so far...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] graffixnyc:
even if it is, cant you just install it separately?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] graffixnyc:
The screen color issue only affected the Nexus correct? Or is it a full 2.3.3 thing?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mustang00066:
All my facebook people are still in my contacts and settings>Accounts & Sync, still has facebook syncing the contacts. I didn't do an absolutely clean install (just dalvik and normal cache) but it looks like it's not going to be a problem!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mustang00066:
Gps locks on quick, wifi works (5.9 down, 3.75 up, 2 floors beneath and at the other end of the house from the wireless router), my bluetooth is at work or i'd test that too.

I'd read of "yellowing" color problems from the Nexus S, nothing like that that I can see here.

Looks like a winner

[myTouch 4G Android Development] coupetastic-droid:
so im guessing the cyanogen download manager is down. because i dont see build 11. my rom manager is still at #8.

does anyone want to send me the zip through pm? :)

EDIT: never mind. got it
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
I'm guessing Cyanogen decided to keep the fb sync feature. Very stoked about that! :)

Thanks Cy!!

EDIT - is anyone else getting buggy behavior? I did a full fastboot wipe and build 11 is just being weird. Randomly displayed the boot animation several times when the rom was already up and running. This was in the first few minutes. Didn't restore my apps from market, etc.

Tried again a couple of times and still being weird. Restoring a nandroid and giving it one more shot...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mackster248:
Let me know how it works. Was planning on flashing build 11 over the old build 38.

Zeam launcher?

Is anyone using Zeam launcher with CM7? I am finding the ADW launcher a little "Laggy" at times. Zeam is light weight and super fast.

Thanks,

RA
[myTouch 4G Android Development] j21blackjack:
Downloading 11 now, I really hope wifi works better with this one.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ziggy34:
I used Zeam for about a day and missed ADW, as for the Lag, yeah I see it some, but it does not bother me, I am coming from a MT3G, that was so laggy, I really don't even notice that much on the MT4G.

The lag I see is in scrolling when I open the app drawer, scrolling up and down I see like a stutter, it's just a little jerky.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] camalus:
Gingerbread launcher is nice if you want the true stock feel. Its in the market. No lag at all.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mulletcutter:
i said that too when i stopped at 41, but here i am flashing 11 hahaha
[myTouch 4G Android Development] BlackSHELF:
Yeah its showing 2.3.3

Just mounted it on top of CM7NB08 with no problem its running normal as it should. So do wipe cache/dalvik and run it.

Thats cuz soon as you get done with stock kernel you can join our boat and do it for us :P

[myTouch 4G Android Development] jojo7972:
anyone used titanium backup with the switch from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3? I know alot of the files backed up are system 2.3.2 files, was just wondering if there were any problems trying to restore to 2.3.3?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
Good advice concerning the crystals - this might explain why my battery finally totally died in my TomTOM GPS (was not using it much).

I had let my battery in the MT4G get down to 1% once - will not do that again.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jdkoren:
I'm also curious about this. Hopefully they all still work. If not, probably the app needs to be updated for 2.3.3 by whoever develops it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mulletcutter:
why would they not work, i went to 2.2.1 and titanimun backed up then loaded the backup on 2.3.2 and had no problems. dont see the difference between 2.3.3 and 2.3.2, everything should work since its still gingerbread
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jojo7972:
thats cool, just seems like after flashing rom after rom and so forth, try to be a little more causious of things that might hold ya up before flashing these days ya dig lol
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
Had not seen much in the threads on just what are the updates embedded in 2.3.3 versus 2.3.2?

I am going to flash it in any case.

I flashed #11 over #8 and didn't treat it any differently that going from #7 to #8 (except running a nandroid). gapps works, market, adfree, download speeds the same as #8 (2.5 megs for me on H in my area on speedtest.net)... haven't noticed any issues and didn't have to use titanium for anything. I also didn't wipe cache and dalvik but I was having more trouble doing that than not wiping so I stopped about 10 builds ago.

Just my experience - thanks

Its just minor revision update most likely they patched some leaks and upgraded system apps. Only time you will notice any diff is when you upgrade to major revision as they upgrade API frameworks.
