Sometimes i got a problem with charging.

When i put my phone into the dockingstation sometimes it won't load. Then i restart my phone and after that it works again.

@ Nadlabak:

I installed CM7 on a "virgin Milestone". I wiped everything including SD card and even put Motorola Eclair back on.

RC3 worked great. 60-70% battery left at the end of the day.

RC4 skipped that one

RC 5-7 hab bad battery performance. It would last through the day, but just barely. And browser and google maps got laggy, with no responsiveness for several seconds. Main battery drain is Android OS.

I did not alter CM7 at all in any of the releases. I use only gmail, and no other e-mail app. I have sync turned on and always have a messenger running. Wireless LAN settings are default (turn off with screen).

I mainly use my phone for instant messaging and checking e-mails, some browsing and occasional google maps.

Now I'm back to RC3 and everything works fine again.

I hope this feedback helps any since I did not apply any tweaks etc.

If you need more info let me now, or if I can do anything to help (i.e put RC7 back and send logcat...).

Thanks for your great works, as RC3 works amazing :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Yup, I noticed I have the same problem too sometimes.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Marcink00:
Immediately after unplug charger 99% and 4173mV, I can't unerstand it. Do you have normally 100% with wthat mv value?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] hearts king101:
Same here ???:confused:

Same here on FroyoMOD, idk why but it is stupid :/.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] giugiu:
I came from froyomod to cyanogenmod due gmaps crashing... same issue here. With gps enabled, gmaps keep crashing and freezes the phone. Anyone experiencing this problem found a solution?

Rom is awesome btw.

Thank you,

QUICK REQUEST: can anyone attach the original grass background for CM/ADW? I cant find it on the phone anywhere!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
I think Google Maps and camera crashing is because the phone was running out of RAM.

Battery: 100% vs 99%

Is it really big deal?

You're used to see 100% when battery is actually between 95-100%. Now you see battery in 1% steps.

Why do you so much need to see 100%? 99% fits better in status bar anyway ;).

In any case, if you want to see your 100%, disable 1% battery steps in CyanogenMod settings>Interface>Status bar tweak and reboot. Done.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] adamz667:
I agree with you -it's not big deal. And the battery is never charged to 100% because of li-ion polymer specifications. There are more things to be done in CM7.

So people, enjoy what you got, because Moto don't want to give you anything.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zencooler:
Hi friends.

Has anybody got a problems with baseband on the latest version od CM (05.27)?

Is something changed with radio in this mod? I changed baseband for RTEU using OR option (as usually for CM) but the phone is loosing a network carrier...

Thanks in advance for any help in this...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] andyliao:
it's wonderful!

but the wi-fi signal seems has some problem!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bandroid842:
Yep! This is it! But the resolution is lower than the original! Why cant I find it anywhere on the phone. Where does it go after I change it the first time?!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Edwrib:

The wallpaper is inside the framework-res.apk. Once you change it, you will need to wipe data to see it again.

I have attached it. Pulled from CM7 framework ( 960 by 800 resolution )
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
Looks like final 7.1 release will come soon.

I wonder whats next on cyanogen roms.

I guess developers will have more free time, be careful when going outside, we are hiring developers for milo 2 (on the old fashion way, a gun, a basement and no food no water :D )

Jokes besides, great to see things like 1% battery steps. Amazing work.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] adamz667:
Next will be CM 7.1.1, 7.1.2, 7.1.3 etc... :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
Good to know, so basically, cyanogen 7.x.x will keep improving 2.3.4, at least, until ice cream comes :)

Guess cm7 it will be one of the more stable roms around.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] giugiu:
Did some tests after your post. I had some improvements by applying zeppelinrox's balanced setting 1. Opened gmaps about 20 times in 2 hours, still no crash. Hope mem mgmt solved the issue!

I have an odd problem. I just applied CM7 latest, no special settings and no special apps. However, when I get a call and I pick it up and the screen locks and goes black, I CANT OPEN THE SCREEN AGAIN, even after the call is over. The phone is working, but pressing the top button or the volume rocker does not wake up the screen.

Any help?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] adamz667:
Does anyone have a fix for a laggy camera? After 30 sec of recording in high quality, screen freeze for a moment and start working after few second.

I'm using 0.04 kernel, so there is no problems with dsi. Also the same situation is with MIUI camera app.

Change Language in Hard Keyboard

Does anybody know if i can change the input language at hard keyboard?

thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bandroid842:
Update: it is mainly when I receive call, less so when I make a call. When I get a missed call and it stop ringing, screen works again. I tried changing a few settings (e.g. no longer lock home in memory), but nothing. ON Animations are off btw.

I didnt use EDIT above cause the button wasnt working strangely. Not trolling :)

EDIT: updated to today's version, RC8, from githib, problem persists. seems the screen just shuts down automatically as soon as i receive a call. sometime the proximity sensor doesnt seem to work properly as well.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
There's a new RC8 on github.

How to use StatusBar adjusting brightness contrast? tried swiping status bar but dont work
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vadonka:
hi

i just playing with the read_ahead_kb value. if this set to zero gmaps not freeze on start, but after that freeze anyway, it is just buggy, i dont use at all. in the other hand many other apps run much more smoother if this value set to 2048. so only for the gmaps its not worth to set this value to zero.

it will be nice that this can be changeable from the cm settings menu.

Which version of Google Maps are u using?

I find that after I uninstall it via the Market app, and then reinstall it again, it no longer crashes.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Just flashed CM7 RC8

Ok just flashed CM7 RC8 just now.

First thing I did was to test to see if I can play Modern Combat 2.... and it did! :)

Also tested Google Maps (ver.5.5.0) and it was fine.

Will perform my overnight battery drain test later tonight. Will report back tomorrow.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grot84:
Can anyone provide relese notes for the RC8?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] gs111:
For those with Google Maps issues... Yesterday morning I got frustrated with gmaps crashing, so I uninstalled all the updates, which reverted me back to Maps 4.6 (on CM6). I was surprised that it was SO MUCH FASTER! And it was well behaved too, with no crashes or stalls.

Might be worth trying for some of you...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Subbie171:
Mind sharing the apk? Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grot84:
what about the changes in RC8? is there anybody how can provide them? i hesitate if upgrading from RC7 or not
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nacloud:
I have the last update and I´ve noticed that when I charge the phone the white led turns on just for a min o so, if I redo this it wont turn on again unless I restart the phone but same thing will happen.

I have flashed the rom twice but no changes.

I will try with a previous version and check.

EDIT: Ok it seems to be the 1% battery steps, however, I have motorola´s accesories it seems that after 95% (from what I´ve seen) the led turns off but still the phone keeps charging although the lockscreen says charged...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] will5:
Try to disable 1% battery steps on cyanogen settings, that could help.

Bad batteries or third party ones, seems to have problems with 1% battery steps.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nacloud:
Well, it seem so.

I can live with that, everything else is gud.

Overnight Battery Drain Test Report

Condition

Data Connection: 2G only

GPS : Off

Wifi : Off

Talk : On

Gmail sync : On

Google Contacts sync : On

Below is my result.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Edwrib:
Guys, all this things with batt is normal, 10% diference here isnt a issue.

Keep in mind that motorola default is 90 and after that 100, if charger still connected after 100, they auto cut the current and auto on after some time when batt drop a bit, all this cycles is 'invisible' to user because they still showing charged and dont re-start the white led (you can check this with apps to show real time batt usage, like battery monitor widget), because this sometimes when you disconnect the charger, the batt drop to 90 quick and other times they stay in 100 more time.

So, with 1% steps, with this invisible steps between 90% and 100%, they can show charged before show 100 (idk what real % they 'think' is 'good' to show charged, since in theory 96% can assume is 100%, without the 1% steps)

All this can check if you look at batt voltage.

Pls dont think this is a bug, is very cool to see this more transparent, without need too look at voltages.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] BryanChung:
Well explained. Thanks :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] wisefreakz:
Good for you dude. From RC5 and above my battery sucks. I have no widgets, no 3/2g, wifi sometimes, no BT, no GPS... no nothing.

Anyway, its worth just to follow Kadalban's brilliant work for our poor Stone!!

This RC8 heats up very fast. This is not good compared to other ROMS.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] arttree:
Yes, mine too battery drain very fast since RC5, seem like 3G is the cause in my case. i re-install my old favorite pre CM7 0.07-11.02.14 app Toggle 2G to slow down the drain rate. it's work!

Getting to RC4 fix my battery drain problem too... but i so love to be up to date... what can i do, right?!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] eami:
The battery drain problem for me is usually exist when I'm actually using the device. I can reproduce this test above, but when I get start using the phone, it drains more quickly than it used to :(

Still I think this is the best ROM for our milestone ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Sorry to report this. Phone has been hot the whole time.

I only used it to reply some Talk msg. Then I surfed XDA forum website a few pages and the battery drain on RC8 is crazy.

What's new in RC8?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] promixer:
Yeah, i know for that, but when i give phone from my ear (like sensor for light works) it double vibrates, and if i give it back to ear double vibrates again, and so on if i repeat that. Any idea? This is very annoying.... and when i cancel calling vibrates again, that u can set in Call setings. So vibrates 3 times, like crazy :S

Or is this any bug?

the screen backlight sometimes not turn on when phone leave the sleep mode. the touch screen working, if you try it some haptic feedback sense that, but the screen is remain black.

this is a known issue, only happened when autobrightness turn on and sadly this not yet fixed.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vadonka:
kabaldan post too many update package now, in the first one implement some fix, and the second one revert it. i think this and the earlyer updates just a test release, and therefore dont posted to the public.

if you want to know what he doing, just check out him github page.

Of course there's a reason for that, it's Netflix running over 3g :D

ITS A VERY ANNOYING BUG!

but i found the solution, you just need to go into the profiles and delete the DIALER from all the settings there, there is no other way to stop this annoying vibration :)

if it doesn't work for you, just delete all the profiles and leave one without any settings in it.

With RC8 I'm having some blank screens when trying to unlock the phone..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
I believe that Profiles are a little bit problematic, also for me. Is it possible to remove this feature simply disassembling settings.apk and deleting some files?

However, RC8 is a little bit faster than previous release (maybe because of ARM optimizations), and finally "kill by longpress" feature now works for me.

1% battery steps doesn't work anymore since 31 May update (the phone always say that battery is low and shutdown after 30 seconds from boot) but who cares, I disabled it. I'm sure that a full wipe will solve it, but I'll pass for now.

Thanks Kabaldan for your work.

What have you done to your /system/etc/rootfs/init.mapphone_umts.rc?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vadonka:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Obviously, it's not annoying you enough to make you post the logs (both main and kernel) I requested here: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/issues/detail?id=498

I can't reproduce the issue, so I can't check my own logs to see what's going on. Finding possible fix therefore relies solely on the cooperation of users who are affected by it. Tell me what changes to the system have you done, what important settings are different from defaults, tell me how to reproduce it... but in the first place post the damn logs.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lalit79:
+1 there kabaldan...i think users in xda have stopped using it as a collaborative forum. more and more it has become like why i cant do this, why cant i play games. why is my damn phone slow etc?

if the users spend a little bit of time they should be able to find the cause of the error themselves. if they cant and if they cant share the logs for u to solve the problem, they should not be on xda period.

i did the adb usb command and still

the usb debugging checked in the phone but no icon showed up when i plug the phone to the computer
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vadonka:
open a terminal, give the root rights and type this:

netstat -tap

you should see something like this:

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State

tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:5037 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

if your results missed this row then the adb server not running on the phone.

if this is running, maybe something is not right with the usb. try a simple mass storage mode first with disabled usb debugging.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
Only set sd cache to 2048k. But the problem is still present if I set to 128 and reboot.

I've made so many changes to other files (only to system apps and framework to change icons) so I know that's not your fault.

Infact I tried to wipe data and reinstall the latest CM7 and 1% steps works perfectly (now I've restored nandroid backup so the problem presist, but I don't care about it).

The main problem I have (and is not only mine) is with custom ringtones assigned to contacts, all my workarounds are not working anymore, only for the first week, max 10 days, infact now 1 call on 4 play the default ringtone or the custom ringtone assigned to previous caller. I have 180 contacts, 100 have custom ringtones assigned.

I've submitted this problem to issue tracker some weeks ago, but only few persone replied. Moreover, seems to be a common Android problem, not limited to Milestone. I will collect some logs and repost to issue tracker, but it's really easy to replicate... I wish to help but I know only SQL language (infact my workarounds involve contacts.db)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Can you attach the resulting /system/etc/rootfs/init.mapphone_umts.rc file so I can inspect it? Thanks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
You don't need it, the problem is elsewhere. I've checked it and compared to the file in latest RC8, they have the same CRC. I haven't changed it yet.

If it can help, I had this problem since the first of three RC8 you released. But as I said, if I restore to RC7 nandroid backup or RC8 clean install it works perfectly.

I'm more interested in custom ringtones issue, if I can make something to help please tell me. I've tried a lot of workaround, but nothing fix at 100% rate
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
1%: well, if it's not init.mapphone_umts.rc, then it's build.prop (missing definition of persist.sys.one_percent_batt property) or you've deleted /system/bin/batt2d :)

ringtones: can you check whether persistent MediaProvider will make a difference?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] enrsil1983:
From my build.prop, the first file I edit after a ROM update:

sys.keep_app_1=com.jb.gosms

sys.keep_app_2=android.process.media

I have this configuration since RC6, I believe that MediaProvider is in android.process.media, now unkillable, but problem still persist in random situations, even with 50 or more MB free RAM. Keeping it persistent seems to increase the percentage of correct ringtone picking, or at least the phone ring with previous caller associated tone or default one, but always ring something.

and in build.prop I have persist.sys.one_percent_batt=1 even if this is disabled from options, I believe it's normal. I have both battery files with correct CRCs and permissions in bin folder.

The mediaprovider you attached is different from the one included in RC8, should I try it?

EDIT: the file you attached have the persistent attribute in XML file, I will try it, but is the effect the same as sys.keep_app_2=android.process.media in build.prop?

I'm going to sleep now :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scomodo:
After a reboot everything goes fine...home button works again.
