Everything is running perfect now.. except Facebook lol.. and my market seems to be running normal now too, some things weren't downloading or showing up on 42, even after a full wipe
[HTC Aria Android Development] Javi97100:
Is the battery life better?
[HTC Aria Android Development] TNPaparazzi:
Haven't been running it long enough to notice yet .. and I already flashed nightly 55 lol
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
Any monumental changes in n54 over n42? I have so many things that I have changed that don't stay after flash that I don't want to update unless there is something big changed.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
Sorry guys thats my OCD talking...I just need something to flash.
[HTC Aria Android Development] juggalofr33k:
Havent had any major problems with the nightlys, but since about 38 i've been having orientation issues. When I rotate the phone to landscape, it sticks that way and I have to use the toggle in the pull down status bar to fix it.

Not a huge problem, just really f'ing annoying. I'm using 55 and drowningchild 7 kernel and everything is working 100%.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
I feel like I'm getting bad battery life with build 54

[HTC Aria Android Development] Javi97100:
With stock kernal?
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
Smartass. I just went to the previous nightly and my battery hasn't dropped. On 54 it dropped 10 percent without being used in about 15 minutes.

[HTC Aria Android Development] mtnlion:
Battery on 42 lasted longer for me than any other build.but since I usually have a charger nearby its not a big deal.

[HTC Aria Android Development] Javi97100:
K cuz I'm back on cm6 for the battery life, and I'm averaging 8 hours of use
[HTC Aria Android Development] mikelebz:
59 is up...
[HTC Aria Android Development] man666:
Kinda fast releases.
[HTC Aria Android Development] TNPaparazzi:
I average way more than that and I use the hell out of my phone. Battery life was never an issue for me... unless I'm playing angry birds lol.. I think setcpu makes a world of difference
[HTC Aria Android Development] Javi97100:
How much hours do u usually get?
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
8 hours of actual use is actually pretty good. unless you meant 8 hours of total battery life, then I'd say something is wrong.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
7.0.2 is the reason
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
59 is running great for me.

[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
Can anyone confirm this. Build 42, GPS connects to satellites, but does not "find me". In GPS test, it does not show accuracy. And in maps it only shows network trianglulation. Have to turn GPS on and off a few times for it to work.

Using the new GPS test patch

Everything works fine here. Using cm7.0.2 with drownings 7. Gps took a bit to lock but after that........done deal.

61

http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=liberty

I get a minor issue that occurs when I turn off gps, the icon remains in the status bar. I'm not sure if GPS stays on or if the icon is just stuck. (I'm on 7.0.2 stable)
[HTC Aria Android Development] brivette007:
I was having this happen on the last nightly. I think the GPS does disconnect. I found that disabling GPS before exiting navigation/maps clears the icon.
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
61 is running great. I'm getting super fast GPS locks with accuracy to 3 meters if I'm not moving. The GPS icon getting stuck has happened to me with past nightlys but I haven't seen it on 61 yet.

[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
GPS still takes forever no matter what :(

Seeing progress though
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
Yes I've noticed this too drowningchild. Gps does take a long time to lock. I just end up using gps status app first, for a-gps assistance. Then through out the day its pretty quick. Good progress indeed. No more "cm6 fix" then back to cm7 crap.

I'm just so used to instant lock
[HTC Aria Android Development] Moh_Jay:
Been coping with this for a while and have been investigating my cm7 wifi issue. The problem happened on build 26 when jznomoney put the new wifi driver. I want to know if I can take the wifi folder from system > etc > wifi > wpa supplicant and replace it with the wpa supplicant from build 25 (last rom with old wifi driver). Will this possibly make wifi work like it did in build 25? Or do I need to replace more internal files?

Signatures are fancy.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
what is the problem specifically?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Moh_Jay:
My WiFi keeps disconnecting and reconnects 5 seconds later. It works perfectly fine with any of my friends router, but it hates mine or something. This only happens on cm7 and no other custom rom. The old WiFi drivers that couldn't connect to hidden networks worked perfectly with my WiFi but after jznomoney's commit it started failing.

Signatures are fancy.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
if i knew how to replace the wifi module i would build the old one for you but sadly i dont know how :(

trying and i keep failing :(
[HTC Aria Android Development] Moh_Jay:
No prob man ill wait but ill address attn1 though I think he already knows because its a universal thing with cm7.

Signatures are fancy.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
I believe that the wifi issue was addressed in 7.0.2. Have you tried that version yet?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Moh_Jay:
Yea. I read somewhere that it had to do with the aes of certain routers but Im not 100% positive its that.

Signatures are fancy.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tribestros:
I only had this issue on CM7 with the crappy dorm internet. (WiFi starting and stopping) I still get this even on CM6. *shrug*
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
Whenever I get bored with this Rom I goto fr008. And back and forth...and so on. I come back to cm7 when there are big changes to the nightlies

My name is Andrew and im never content.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Moh_Jay:
Try liberated 2.2.2, it works with well with my WiFi but I haven't used cm6 in a long time

[HTC Aria Android Development] vicmora5:
I get a wi-fi problem where it constantly disconnects when I turn off the screen l: Even if I put the phone in my pocket and shortly after I wake it it will be pulling E and wifi will be off...

Also I got that gps icon on the notification bar that wouldnt go away. had to reboot.

Nightly 61
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
That's the wifi sleeping it will do it even if u have it not sleep

Go back into a GPS app and close it again it should disappear

Wow cm 7.1 android version 2.3.4?
[HTC Aria Android Development] SoCalHTCFuze:
Well... I spoke too soon on the GPS fix. While it works, it updates rediculously slow. Navigation while driving skips around past streets making turning on time very difficult. Maybe its just me so I thought I would post up.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lsusparky621:
I can't even get my GPS to lock. I've tried all the GPS fixes on here and still no go. I even tried doing a full wipe then installing 61, but I still couldn't get a lock in either Maps or GPS Toolbox. It hasn't worked since reverting back to the old libs, but with the CPU problem, it just wasn't worth it for me. I guess I don't use it enough for it to really matter for now.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
It usually just takes forever & I see when you are moving it doesn't seem to lock at all
[HTC Aria Android Development] lsusparky621:
I let it sit for 10+ minutes on a window sill and got no lock, so I gave up. The devs are making new libs from scratch that should be functional fairly soon, correct? Possibly in 7.1?

To clarify though, I am in no way complaining. I love CM and appreciate everything all devs have done to revive my once-hated Aria.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:
That's what I figured. Ill turn that off and tommorow ill wipe everything and uncheck backup my data with Google in the initial setup and see if that fixes it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tedkunich:
Fresh install of build 7 with nothing other than maps installed. Still no GPS. Did a logcat and saw this when maps was starting up:

I would see many NetworkLocator, WifiLocator, and CellLocator calls. (I had Wifi off for this experiment)

Doing a google search on the GPS error "PD error: 17 command:" returns a hit on a thread here on XDA discussing the same GPS not starting problem with CM7 but on the Legend platform. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=776901&page=169 apparently there is a 2.1 libgps.so hack that appears to work. Could this be of any use to the Devs to get to the root of this problem?

Really like CM7, but without GPS functionality, it is not very appealing to me as I use gps occasionally and when I need it, find it invaluable.

[HTC Aria Android Development] crispcat89:
How long does it usually take for a final release? So far build #6 is working perfect for my everyday use. So I don't have any problem waiting. But still a general idea of how long this usual takes would be great.
[HTC Aria Android Development] christcb:
1st Rule of Cynogenmod = don't ask for ETA's. It happens when it happens.
[HTC Aria Android Development] crispcat89:
Ok. Well. Let me rephrase my question. How long did it take for a final release of cm6? Seeing how that release is out it has nothing to do with an "estimated time of arrival".
[HTC Aria Android Development] crispcat89:
also my question wasn't specifically asking for an eta I simply asked how long does it usually take from a final release. I never stated that I wanted to know when the final cm7 would be released.

Take the question for w/e you want to take it as, in the end its nothing more than a question and questions don't always get answers.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
I wasn't kidding - I cannot work on problems I can't reproduce with no more information than what I've had. And if GPS is that important to people and it's not working for them, they need to not run experimental software, which is what this is. There is no release yet - every one of these is a test build of work in progress - and is completely unsupported.

Yes, if you sync data with your google account, data like that will be restored when you sign back in to google. It even restores custom wallpaper settings.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Ted, thanks for the logcat bits: this is more helpful.

Some questions that probably seem very obvious -

Do you still have the logcat? Can you pastebin the entire thing?

Were you outdoors and away from obstructions?

Did you try to activate Navigation within maps?

Why with wifi off? AGPS works best with all network services enabled, even if you aren't connected to wifi.

Are you restoring any data with something like Titanium?

Can you wipe everything, then start gps for the first time using gps status and see if that helps? Give it a few minutes on first sync.

everyone - TIP:

alogcat (available in market) allows you to capture your logcat anywhere/anytime and email it to yourself. Then later at a PC, you can pastebin your logcat and link to a post. This can provide useful diagnostic information that can point to where the failure is occurring.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
fastboot booting is a developer tool for testing kernel builds. It enables him to boot from a test kernel without actually flashing it. In order to use this fastboot feature, your HBOOT needs to be S-OFF, you need a test kernel, you need a PC with a working fastboot USB tool.

It's not a practical way to start the phone from day to day, and may not even be what you are referring to.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Yeah, I messed up a change. I just submitted a clean one. When it's merged into the repo, the led notifications will be fixed.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Darius_bd:
Excellent, I like to feel useful but didnt know what to do except testing and saying "still doesnt work". This looks like a much better way to pinpoint this out, wilco.

Running latest Nightly, #7. Had same situation on 4 and 6. On CM 6.1.1 the email application allowed one to "Select All" before deleting emails. That option seems to be gone; each email has to be deleted individually. Is this a design change, feature, improvement, or did something get dropped?

Build 7, never had GPS lock on so fast before. Sense 2.1, fr0008, cm6, never locked on as quick as it does now. I don't know why it sucks for other people.

[HTC Aria Android Development] monstermax19:
No issues with GPS on Build 6, either. Still having basic notification issues (LED, vibrations), but not a big deal. And I'd like to repeat the gratitude going toward the Devs. Amazing job, guys!

Unfortunately .......I went back to ladios rc4 dealio with the old GPS. Works quick and great.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
No, these ARE the new libs. They are a work in progress.
[HTC Aria Android Development] SoCalHTCFuze:
I'm happy with the latest build of cm7 even though the GPS lags a bit. The orientation is correct and the GPS does eventually lock at a location when stopped. I know they will figure this out so I'm sticking with what we have from here forward. I just want to make sure I'm doing my part to provide the information needed to make this better. Cm7 always catches peoples eye with my phone. I want to keep iit that way! :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
patiently waiting for the next nightly :P

gps should be better
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
I think I am with Tommygun I am going back to n42 with the old libs...it had super quick GPS lock and it ran damn great. n61 just takes too long to lock even consecutive locks from the same stationary location takes a while if you wait a few hours to try it again. I hate to go back because I luv the fixes for Google Voice opening twice and no vibrate in call setting. But I use my GPS nearly daily and the long locks won't jive.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
I have no problems on the last stable release with GPS
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
Are you talking about 7.0.1? I never tried that one. Maybe I will. As for right now, I am back on n61...gonna give GPS Status a whirl and see if it can help. I really don't want to go backwards...I use RunKeeper almost daily and it requires GPS, I would hate to sit and wait for a GPS lock before every bike ride.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
7.0.2 is the latest as of right now.

I am having no problems what so ever with GPS with 7.0.2
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
Yeah...thats the one i was talking about...the one right before n61. About to try now
[HTC Aria Android Development] tribestros:
I have 0 problems with GPS, or anything at all on 7.0.2. It's absolutely seamless. GPS works great.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Darius_bd:
.

No problemo with GPS here either. Very first lock after installing the 7.0.2 ROM (+ drowningchild's SIO kernel) took forever , but today I tried it and with AGPS data 5 days old, managed to get a lock with 9 sat in 75 seconds (stationary) - no wifi, no cellular data.

After that the new position kept refreshing every second while driving, just like it would normally do. Re-acquiring the lock after exiting the app is instantaneous, even after 10 mins.

Temp of the battery on a 22°C day reached 42°C, a bit high but also what I get while playing Angry Birds. I even underclocked the phone to 400mhz max and it kept working all good.

So, I'd say everything is nice and working! Thanks for the big effort devs.

PD: A very side note, the phone cant play music while screen off while running at 120 mhz ^^'
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
As soon as I get my phone re-rooted I'm on this.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
i use the phone a bit for music with my kernel(smartass no profiles 120-806)

no issues with music & screen off here at all just the same lag as ive always gotten(even with stock kernel, screen-off 245-245 or 245-480 profiles)

if you you smartass dont set profile for screen off
[HTC Aria Android Development] Darius_bd:
I'll try the no-profile for screen off, is just I wanted 120-200 instead of smartass' 120-3XX something. It also may have an impact the fact I'm using PowerAmp + Equalizer App. Thing is, when I turn screen off, after some 30s the sounds lags like the phone's cpu is trying to render Crysis 2.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
Yeah I use poweramp also that's one of the reasons its set to 320mhz

It sits more @ 120 when doing nothing as I've seen in setcpu stats
[HTC Aria Android Development] :
First time using cm7 been using fr008 since getting my phone and I have to say 7.0.2 rocks it is so smooth I love this rom. Thanks devs for the great work.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tribestros:
It really is smooth.

I'm getting good battery life overall, but sometimes, some combo of apps makes it drain very fast, like leaving the market open or some other stuff that makes drop my battery like in 20% just because. Cant exactly pinpoint what.
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
Anything that uses your data connection is going to drain the battery at a pretty decent rate. Wi-fi drains a little slower than data useage. Not sure if thats your problem, but I have noticed these sorts of drops when I forget to turn off my background data. Having email or any app really syncing in the background at pretty frequent intervals definitely causes drain.
[HTC Aria Android Development] bkmo:
New kernel commit in the works from Attn1. Looks like we may be getting some love too. Now maybe we will see another nightly. :)

But there's something wrong with Ms Giovanni... She doesn't do 69 anymore.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:

[HTC Aria Android Development] bkmo:
They get lazy after a while you know. Some of them are still nice to look at though. :D
[HTC Aria Android Development] Darius_bd:
But that's the thing, I'm getting good battery life while keeping wifi on all the time with auto-refresh/sync. With the batch of nightlies between RC1 and RC2 I had to make it sleep when screen off because it was draining away like hell.

But! Even so, when the phone shouldnt be sucking much battery, it does. Like the other day I left it overnight on and it sucked like 40% and now it's been 6 hours and barely hits the 20% of drain, with some screens on. So I dont get it. Maybe a widget, but Im lazy to test out.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
aw - you noticed.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ladios:
because it's so easy to test a kernel with S-OFF
[HTC Aria Android Development] tribestros:
I don't know about battery drain, at least on 7.0.2, for me. My phone doesn't drain at all. I'm at three hours 86%. But I'm running DK's SIO kernel.
