[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
I've noticed a critical bug, present also in RC10:

To see my credit I have to press *123# and it works perfectly: I immediately receive a flash message with my credit.

But when I try to check my free minutes or other options by calling *123*5# or *123*0# I receive this error: "Connection problem or invalid MMI code" (I temporary switched phone language to English to paste it correctly).

Now I have the latest RC11 and the bug is still here. I've checked online, and seems a common Android bug, like custom ringtones. Tried some solutions, but nothing works.

Could it be caused by baseband, changed after installation from openrecovery?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Flyview:
Make sure you have checked the option to allow brightness decrease!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DannyDroid:
Seems like a bug from within Android;

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2226
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
There may be finally a solution for not reliable custom ringtones (though it still needs real life confirmation):

https://github.com/CyanogenDefy/and...mmit/95a2ea1ca2712df1c9ba417b02f3a1f1a6c6bf0e

It will be included in the next build.

MMI error: have you tried calling *+123*5# instead of *123*5#?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vadonka:
it is possible that your phone light sensor is broken. cover the sensor with your finger, see what happened
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
Wow... infact I've noticed by checking logs that the phone started too much profiles checks because of a lot of incoming ring notifications, so I thought that it was a profiles fault. I was wrong.

I'll be really happy to test the new phone.apk, if you release the file I will update it immediately on my phone. I'm currently using your previously posted modified mediaserver.apk (the normal mediaserver.apk file but with PERSISTENT attribute) so I have a free slot in sys.keep_app_2

Before posting here, I've checked all the long page linked by DannyDroid

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2226

and tried adding the + but doesn't work.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grot84:
ok. After making some test i have noticed that levels of my sensor are very limited:

10

33

333

1400

5316

So I have to adjust the Brightness' levels to my sensor.

One more question:

Is there any configuration that i can use check to increase the number of levels from the sensor?

Some are fetching the photos, and some are not. I Don't know why, on shadowmod I didn't have this problem.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
Hi @Kabaldan,

Something had just occurred to me. If we can't compile our own kernels for the Milestone, how on earth are we overclocking it? It was my understanding that you need a kernel compiled to allow overclocking. Is this not the case?

I'm asking because I want to port CM7 for my wife's phone (LG Shine Plus) and I don't want to attempt anything until I get all my facts straight. See here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11354144#post11354144

I've asked a few people for help but no one has responded to me yet. If you could help me that would be awesome. Or even give me a tip or two.

Also, has anyone been having an issue with their twitter account being signed-out/erased after a reboot? After each reboot, random or deliberate, I need to re-enter my twitter account. I think it's the same with facebook too.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Redh3ad:
It is possible to compile a kernel module that allows overclocking.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ubutnux:
Confirmed
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] aboycalledsu:
+1 (twitter resets itself, facebook is fine)

also, is anyone having cloud problems with this build? chrome to phone and remote install via market.android.com both not working for me
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
Granted, but how do we do that without the source code for the kernel from Motorola? At least the source for the drivers to compile INTO the kernel, I think that's more accurate. Also, I thought the locked bootloader issue prevented us from using custom kernels, no?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] wisefreakz:
AFAIK the vulnerable recovery is responsible to make the proprietary Kernel invoke our Kernel like a second boot.

So there is where the trick resides.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Caz666:
I am haviing issues with the car dock. It will not come on either by inserting into dock or manually (app crashes or does nothing)

Anybody else?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] wisefreakz:
Install it over from the Market and it will work.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
Oh!! Damn! That makes a LOT of sense now. I really hate posting these non-related questions here, but I'm not getting any help anywhere else.

Anyone know how that was accomplished? Like I said in my post above, I want to bring the awesomeness of CM7 to me wife's phone. The ONLY thing that has been done so far is a nandroid recovery menu, which is a big step IMO, but not all the way there, and no one is doing anything for the LG Shine Plus.

Please, any help at all, check out my link in my second last post.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] wisefreakz:
No problem mate... we are here to help each other.

I think that the "magic" may vary from phone to phone as they have different bootloaders. Any way, i guess only a few may answer your question... to name a few: Kadalban, Dexter, GOT Team... etc.

Hope you can make your wifes phone work with the amazing CM7.

Cheers.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Chad_Petree:
Guys my internet over 2g/3g is painfully slow , is anyone else having these issues?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cbstryker:
Does rebooting or turning on airplane mode then turning it off do anything?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] brysonwong:
Did you attempt to move the twitter and Facebook app to the SD card?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] greglord:
One question:

Shouldn't Wifi advanced setting (Sleep policy) "Never when plugged in" disable WIFI connnection when NOT charging? Because it stays connected all the time?

Thank you.

How good would this ROM work without flashing the VIVO or APAC leak?

Can I update to this ROM only by wiping dalvik and cache, without wiping data and factory reset?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] greglord:
I think there's a bug withing physical keyboard where, while writing sms or trying to type in the url, my music app gets opened while, for example, pressing key P. Or pressing E key, throws me on creating new email address?

Can anyone confirm this?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lalit79:
i think ur search key in the physical keyboard is in a pressed state or u r accidently pressing it while typing. Pressing the search + p opens the music app and pressing the search + e opens the email app, there are other such shortcuts like search+l opens the calendar app
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lalit79:
if i am not wrong there is a 15 min timeout for the sleep policy to get activated in case of wifi...dunno why but this is how it is configured
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] afadel:
I could be wrong, but I don't think that's quite right. The vunerable recovery, as explained in kabaldan's android site, only replaces the recovery partition to allow the openrecovery to be run through update.zip.

The thing about the modules is that after Motorola officially releases the kernel they have to release the kernel sources too. With the kernel sources you can write/optimize kernel modules.

The kernels we use are from Motorola as they have to be signed, that's why we only had the CM6 with 2.2 kernels after we got the first leak from GOT. To use these kernels, after someone got their hands on the Moto SBF, it's possible to do a nandroid backup of the system and then apply the boot.img on our phones to replace the kernel.

If I'm wrong, please someone correct me, but that is my current understanding.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grot84:
I did not use any script to overclock my CPU I am just using built-in smartass from 250-1000 Mhz

Could you be more specific about the problem.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] alicheusz:
mine are exactly this same so I set my custom levels to

View attachment 649760
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grot84:
OK. I have turn on the filtering (it helps not to jump from 33->5160 :)) and set the number of levels to 18 :) and now it goes smoothly.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bijixda:
is it possible to disable Profile at all? When downloading from market i can see many log about it , repeated
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Charles_l:
Ah... I remembered that I have the same black screen issue when I change the governor to smartass.

I think the smartass governor is working perfect with CM6, not with CM7, maybe the Gingerbread eats more hardware resources.

Do not use the smartass governor in CM7, use the interactive governor.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Charles_l:
I think the more levels you set will make the battery daring faster, it is because the brightness be adjusted too often, eats more CPU...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Charles_l:
Map always running

Google map always restart immediately after i shut it down in the task manager...drain 12% battery during the night even i turn on the Airplane mode.:confused:

i have to uninstall it temporary...Any help?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
To shutdown completely certain apps, you should open Tasks (Settings/Applications/Active Tasks). I have it linked in my main desktop screen.

Some apps leave 1 or more processes open that can't be killed from any task manager (I have the built-in Task Manager of GoLauncher), so you kill the app but not the process, and the app immediately restart.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zrima167:
Is there an easy way to find out which app is waking up your phone?

How is the battery life of 06.07 update? Mine is about 15 h with light use and lowered voltages in 10overclock.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] justlevine:
Battery Life/Stability

What exactly is battery life/stability like in this mod?

I was using Cronos' Gingerbread Mod 1.3.0, but I found it really sluggish and unable to last a full day, so I reverted back to 2.2

Is this mod of 2.3 any better?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:
CRONOS sluggish? Its so quick.... if you find cronos sluggish you will.probably find this even more
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Sluggish? You must be joking.

Have u even tried version.1.4 with my own tweaks?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
I reverted to an older Google Maps version as I find the newer versions have battery drain.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grot84:
I will check that option.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] AirLancer:
I would say it can easily last 2 days, 3 days if im carefull (but I'm usually not :) ).

I have wifi on if I'm in reach of one. I'm always on 3G (I dont toggle). Sync is activated and I have a messenger running (trillian) at all times.

I mostly use my milstone for checking e-mails and instant messaging, some occasional browsing as well.

I also have 2 widgets on my homescreen.

I dont have any tweaks applied.

Hope this gives you a rough idea about battery lifetime.

Though sometimes my wifi causes problems and then it will drain my battery within a day. I've been planning on uploading logs about that ever since using CM :rolleyes:

Camera problem

I installed RC11 replacing the RC10 after wiping Dalvik cache and Cache partitions.It is working smoothly now.But there is an issue with the Camera.It is not working.I cannot get the camera view to focus .The screen is black with camera settings and the + mark for focussing.But can't see the objects.While clicking, the shutter and flash work,but no picture is taken.I had not checked the camera with RC10.So I replaced RC11 with RC10 now and checked. No Camera function here also.So I again reinstalled Rc 11.I installed from market lg camera and tried again. The same effect as the default camera.What is to be done for getting the camera working?. Will replacing RC11 with RC9 work?The camera is essential for me.So please help.

Waiting with thanks,

pnsdhrn@gmail.com
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
No need to quote the entire first post.

Unfortunately, it sounds like a hardware defect. I bet that even if you'd flash the official sbf firmware, your camera input will stay black. Time for hardware repair - camera module replacement.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jarlaxlebaenre:
I've been using CM 7.1 for a couple of weeks and after switching from stock Froyo CM was a blast. I just updated to RC11 but it seems that my problem still exists. Whenever I connect my Milestone to USB cable or docking station touchscreen goes crazy. Clicking an icon on home screen becomes extremely difficult because the screen starts bouncing left and right (especially in landscape mode).

The most annoying thing is setting an alarm and then trying to turn it off. When I wake up in the morning with Milestone sitting in dock I need to press 'Dismiss' button at least 5 times for it to work finally and turn off that damn alarm ;P

P.S. There is no separate screen for turning on/off memory storage in CM? (the one with android icon on the left and grey button on the right) I remember something like that in Froyo.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] alicheusz:
I have issues with RC11 and camera too (mine was different but it happens first time ever) they stay even after reflashing to RC9 nanodroid backup. I fix it by full wiping and reflashing latest RC11
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] percival_74:
Left battery on 100% at night.. woke up and it was around 68%. Repeated that another day, same thing.

"Iddle phone" is guilty, if I look into conf.

Happening to anyone?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jarlaxlebaenre:
Ok, touchscreen issues are still present but now I've got problems with battery drain as well (although RC10 was fine). Even when idle with no notifications and processes running in background I lose 1% like every 10-15 minutes. 2G only, brightness at lowest level, 1min screen timeout.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
2G or 3G? :o
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
When u don't use your phone much for example when you are sleeping and u leave your phone idle by your bedside table, then it is natural to see "phone idle" as the 2nd highest after "cell standby". This is normal.

What it means is that during your sleep, there is not much activities at all so the only thing that is draining the battery is the "cell standby" and then next possible activity is the phone being idle.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] percival_74:
wifi.

Right, but, on RC10, and older, phone would have a max 10% night battery consumption.

The only thing different I could notice is that "iddle phone".
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] AirLancer:
But not if battery drops 22%-that means something is wrong.

It does happen to me sometimes too, not necessarily at night. Not sure what the problem is. Usually the phone does not go into standby correctly for some reason.

You could post your logs in the issue tracker. Just search for "drain" in the issue tracker and you'll find something.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Do u have a screenshot of your battery stats?

Also u can install PowerTutor and leave it running for 1 hour while your phone is idle to see what has been eating your battery during that time.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bijixda:
this is different, see my post about battery usage. wake lock only happen at very small times.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
In your screen shot - https://dl.dropbox.com/u/18020176/screenshot-1310080683408.png

I noticed the phone was awake a few times according to the blue bars in the chart.

Some apps or widgets must be active during those time when your screen was off or when your phone was idle.

Do u have any weather widgets or clock widgets on your homescreen?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] percival_74:
Will do that, thanks.

Battery reporting post again. This time not good compared to the post I made earlier in RC10.

The variables involved in this test are exactly the same as the post I made above in RC10 post. My battery dropped 40% from 100% this time. And here are my (bad) results after 7 hours and 30 mins.

Network Usage:

Partial Awake:

CPU Usage:

So was Google Maps and Android System draining my battery? Dropped 40% compared to the 7% (on RC10 post again) on 2G network.

So while I was taking those screenshots above, much to my horror, my phone immediately dropped another 20% once I was done.

Notice the dip on the extreme right side of graph.

Therefore to start a brand new day, I'm left with 40% battery. :(

bijixda, so I guess I am getting the same (bad) battery results as you are.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nailll:
Just wanted to add similar post to this thread.

In short: Charged up to 100%, 2h without charging, and made just few calls. then left my Milestone on a dock station (with charging!) for a night. and in the morning - "Charge your phone" message.

And I was using 2G only to save my battery ;)

Here are my screenshots: https://picasaweb.google.com/gnaill...&authkey=Gv1sRgCN_nv_CJ15zzcw&feat=directlink
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Woah that's crazy bad. Your phone was awake for so long!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nailll:
Even if my charger is not powered enough and was not charging my phone, it usually drops about 40% for a 2G and 60% while on 3G network in a standby mode... Is there some advanced utils to monitor power usage and eliminate the problem? Never had my battery calibtrated so far. Should I?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Sometimes when u dock your Milestone on the docking station, u might have not push it down all the way..and it may not be charging. It has happened to be once.

And bcs of the magnet in the dock, the phone goes into clock mode and the display stays on (unless u press the power button once to turn off) and u may have thot that it was charging.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
GOSH! That's bad! Sorry to hear that happening. I hope u find out the cause of it or else u know where to fall back on.
