ok downloaded new pack and installed on my phone... Everything seems to working ok! :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
my phone showed 60% - is there a way to properly calibrate my battery?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
How's the battery life on RC2?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
My bump charging technique is the proper way to calibrate your battery.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] maresh88:
hmm my received sms timestamps are 8 hours earlier in the new RC2, any solutions?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
You mean tge steps above calibrate the battery?

After moderate use of 2-3 hours i had no redraws of home application. But will update again later in the day.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] k1l:
payce from the german android-hilfe forum did a battery measurement: http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-ha...ku-infos-ladekurven-leistungsverbraucher.html (if you are not familiar with german try google translate)

in point 4 (3rd. post) he tells about the battery charging system. after ~60min. the software thinks it is 100%, but acctually it is smth. between 50%and 60%.

take a look at the graph.

he tells that after 3hours it is safe to take off the plug (90%), because the charging to 100% would take way to long. (~2hours more)

so if people tell: with that ROM i loose 20% in 2 hours and with this ROM i loose 60% in 2 hours is not a qualified indicator because you cant tell from which point you started and to which point you got because the battery notification is just guessing (even with the _same_ usecase, which is simply impossible).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Very informative. Thanks for sharing.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
Since using CM7 all my sms are 2 hours earlier... its frustrating when using conversation style...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] keunhuvac:
There is a new option to display GMT timestamp on MMS.apk!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] pcphobic:
Added another 2 steps (no.8 & 9) for you to follow.

Step 1:

Boot up your phone normally and charge your phone as how you would normally do until it says "charged".

Step 2:

Once your phone charging status says "charged", unplug the wall socket cable from the phone. Shut the phone off.

Step 3:

While the phone is still off, plug back in the wall charger cable. Switch on the power of the wall charger.

Step 4:

You should then see the M logo for a while and then it shows the 100% green battery icon in the middle of the screen.

Step 5:

Open the battery cover and pull out the battery and wait for awhile until you see the "?" icon in the middle of the LCD screen.

Step 6:

Put the battery back in.

Step 7:

If your battery is OK (properly calibrated) then it would show 100%. If it is not properly calibrated, then it would show 60% and it will continue to charge your battery until 100%.

Step 8:

Once your battery has reached 100% (while phone is still off), leave it there to charge for another 15 minutes or until the battery is no longer hot. When the battery is cool to the touch, it means the charger has stopped charging the battery.

Step 9:

Unplug the charging cable and do the "3 finger boot" (x button + camera button + power button) to boot into recovery and flash the new ROM.

Doing so will calibrate the new ROM to the current state of the battery as 100% charged.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Fekish:
Ok after 1 hour of extensive use:

Internet browser got a bit freezed at some points, in general phone has no delays, no home redraws, BUT when I started Scrabble my phone restarted ...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
Just noticed it too. SMS are shown to be received 2 hours earlier. Is there anything we can do about it? Because it really is annoying in the Conversation window.

And another "bug": When you are in the App menu, and rotate your phone from Portrait to Landscape, you get the attached screen. But if your roll down you can see all the apps normally again.

So it isn't a serious bug, just thought I mentioned it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
alefielm: the lib2ext flag is persistent unless you make factory reset/data wipe, so you don't have to enable it again just because of system update.

The version numbering is not so important. I test and use every build before I upload it. Every new build is just a new evolution from the previous build. I diverted from the official upstream CyanogenMod numbering during the period of low upstream release activity (7.1.2 - 7.1.5) and returned back to 7.2 RC numbering just because of the nearing official CM 7.2 release.

Simply put: there's no fundamental difference between 7.2.x and 7.1.x.

Any tips for the most light launcher to use?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jerminhu:
How do I enable the call recording function please?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sushifiend:
No idea how to reproduce it, but I do get this surprisingly often. I use my phone mainly for things other than calls. I receive perhaps only 5-10 calls a week, and it seems like a I get the mute call problem a couple of times a month. It's always one particular contact I have the problem with, although she happens to be the person I receive calls from the most. If I do notice a definite pattern, I'll report back.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] alefielm:
Im trying 360 launcher and Im happy with it
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rhazahrd:
this could be a memory/launcher issue, don't you think?

5 days ago, I receive 3 calls on a row from the same caller. On first 2, I couldn't hear nothing, so I kill the launcher, and presto! Could hear like a charm.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] oniemjan:
help, i can't use wifi in this build (some kind of error in settings), i didn't have problems with other custom roms...

can someone help me, cause i like this rom
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rhazahrd:
*sigh*

go to the first page of this thread and read.

your answer is there.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] alefielm:
I've wiped data/dalvik/cache and installed Last version.

With latest Gapps, market dissapears, so I use the previous one, with that version Gtalk throws an error when closing a chat window.

Any idea how to solve that?

Thanks!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] captainhase:
Perhaps you need the newest version of the play store aka android market. There have been problems with Motorola devices...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sandman21dan:
I'm having some trouble with wifi, not with this particular build, even not this rom, i had my milestone for some time, and even when i was back on froyo mod, now on cm7 i have trouble connecting into a particular wifi, every wifi anywhere works just fine, but this one (the one at my brother's house), yet that wifi works fine in everything, other android phones, laptops, kindle fire, but i could never get it to work with my milestone, not in froyoMod or anything...

I even changed the router's wifi channel and many other settings, and still no luck...

i wonder if booting into recovery and

/*

rm -R /data/misc/wifi

exit

*/

will help my particular problem?

Tnx for your help
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
Similar problem here~

Sometimes when other android phones can connect to the public wifi,

My milestone cannot do so though it successfully detect it.

I wonder if there are any ways to solve the problem:confused:

Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] agushaha:
My milestone running well in everything with this Rom, wifi, camera, call, ems, etc. :D

only the battery not last longer when using HSDPA, its normal i think. :banghead:

:thumbup: thanks kabaldan.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] i2gh0st:
About wifi, I have the same problem with one router, but I managed to make it work by manually setting up the internet protocols.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scoutme:
Use toggle2g, you won't regret...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] CeBits:
Is the auto focus and infinity focus still missing from the camcorder in these builds?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] eami:
system internet traffic

Hi all,

I moved from CM6 to this ROM a few weeks ago. Everything is working flawlessly, only one thing that I noticed and it's very strange.

Since the change my internet traffic significantly increased, and most of the traffic happens in standby. Originally I used netcounter to measure the net usage, but now I have traffic monitor installed as well. Both app shows about the same total traffic per day, and in traffic monitor I can see the usage on application level, so here comes the strange part...

It shows 10-25Mbyte of System traffic per day!! I've tried everything, stopped most of the auto sync, though all sync related apps traffic are listed separately so "system traffic" must be something else. I also did a full reinstall (with full wipe) but the problem is still exist.

90-95% percent of this system traffic is inbound, so its not about that something is leaking data, but something is definitely happening in the background that I haven't experienced before. Also noticed that there is more traffic when I'm on wifi.

I hope someone can help me with this. Thanks in advance!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] repatch:
I good idea for many, a non starter for some, my provider doesn't do 2G.

TTYL
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zviki:
Hm.Many custom kernels have problem with high system usage lately.On other phones too.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] eami:
yes, but I'm talking about the system's internet usage, and also our kernel (unfortunately) haven't really changed much :/
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Damn. Can you tell me since which build the camcorder focus mode became unavailable in the camcorder head-up settings?

For camcorder auto focus, just press the focus (half pressed camera) button. That works fine.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] igna.worn:
I'm interested,

Can you, please, show me your configs? Or which is the most performance/battery saver ?

Thanks a lot
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] s0ulreaver:
If you didn't already, try disabling "Background Data" in Settings -> Accounts & sync Settings.

Another thing worth trying is installing an app like DroidWall (free firewall app), enable logging and see in the logs.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zviki:
Oh,sorry. I thought you have ics rom (CM9).I messed up forums. I know that you talked about data usage,but you can also see that something is happening trough system activity in battery usage info.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] eami:
It would reduce the net traffic thats for sure, but I don't want to disable any data snyc. As mentioned before it wasn't a problem before and I'm not using any new app. So I'm not trying to save on my dataplan, just don't want to pay for something that I don't know about anything.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kv1dr:
If you have rooted phone, install DroidWall from the Market and allow internet connection only for apps you want. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zviki:
Or Avast (firewall included).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] MoskmaN:
i cant get Phone remember custom ringtones.

Each time my phone powers off, reboots, or I plug into my PC and it unmounts the SD card (ext) the phone seems to forget all of the ringtone settings and reverts back to stock (default) settings. I have over 20 custom ringtones for friends, SMS, calendar, alarms, etc., each and every time I have to reset these...any thoughts on how to fix?

moving the ringtone/notification sounds to the internal memory DOESN'T solve the problem. Did this last night and thought all was good, turned the phone off overnight, upon power up this morning it forgot all settings.

I dont have Weatherbug installed.

Im using Geek Board from market to set the ringtones.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] eami:
Thanks for the idea. It may cure the symptoms but definitely won't solve the problem. My phone was in standby almost all day, except I listened music via Deezer (offline of course) and 19MB system traffic was generated so far today and its only late afternoon.

As mentioned before it wasn't a problem on CM6, so probably I will need to go back to that one, which I'd rather not to do as CM7 became really good by now.

Unfortunately using a firewall just because system or something draining my net is simply not acceptable :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rhazahrd:
do you know what is draining your net?

install these apps and see what happen.

there is a bunch of apps and process running, install these and see what are causing your problem...

keep complaining won't resolve...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scoutme:
For those with 2g-3g providers:

Simply open toggle2g and enable it (first checkbox). No further change :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Lucasm93:
I had this problem a couple of weeks back.

The phone would "forget" ringtone settings even without a reboot in my case.

I did a full wipe and reflashed the rom and the problem hasn't happened ever since. Try to reflash it and if it does not work full wipe+reflash
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DRSdroid:
i have CWM on my device now and every time i try to flash a ROM it tells me the "file or directory does not exist"

i'd really like to try this openrecovery. I'm already fully rooted with SU, how would i go about flashing this recovery at this stage?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] CeBits:
Not sure if any of the builds has it. I just moved from latest CM6 and noticed this thing is missing in the last two RC0 builds. You can hold the shutter/camera button to force it to focus, but auto focus was way better.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] eami:
Droidwall shows "system" as one item too... the same item that drains my net... I won't know what exactly drain my data plan using these apps.

So any other idea, what should I do next?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sodan Tok:
Actually, holding the camera button IS auto focus and it is better solution than press and wait for auto focus and auto shoot.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zviki:
It could be Gmaps(location checking-network location) or Google backup(sms,contacts,...) You can also check in Spare parts app-Battery history - change usage tab to Network usage...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Joolee:
He knows what app is causing it. It's the "System" app. That's android itself...

Do you use a custom keyboard or launcher? If you do, what happens after reboot? If you don't, try one and than report back :P
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Marcink00:
Are you able to run Kindle app? I tried to manage it yesterday, phone was extremely laggy and app was working in the slowest way I've ever seen, after while phone did not respond, there wasnt way to use it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sushifiend:
7.2.0 RC1 is out. Thanks Kabaldan!

In a separate note, I won an HTC Sensation in a draw at work, thanks to O2 who had a stall in our canteen where they were promoting their discount for employees of my company. It's a really nice phone, with its 1.2GHz dual core CPU, 768Mb RAM, 4.3" 960x540 screen, 1080p video recording, 8MP camera - but for some reason I still prefer my Milestone. That's a testament to the good work of Kabaldan.

SF
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zviki:
Good for you. :p You were born under a lucky star.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] CeBits:
You don't understand I am talking about the video recording not the photos. In previous version and in CM6 there is a option for the camera to auto focus while recording the video meaning it will automatically switch to macro mode and focus if you get the camera near tiny objects or shooting book, text etc, and when you move it away it will again focus on the object in center, instead of you pressing the button while recording all the time.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zankyw:
In which folder should I place the files corresponding to the themes in order to have them available from the Theme Chooser app?

Or did anybody create a zip with a script to apply them after the installation?

Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
The continuous autofocus for video recording (a feature present in CM6) has not been reimplemented in CM7. And I perfectly understand why not. 1 - The focusing sound is captured by microphone - it's rather annoying to hear it too often. 2 - The focusing inherently makes part of the video recording to be out of focus (while the correct focus is being searched for).

While it's not in the official CM7 for other phones at all, I decided to implement at least the ability to manually trigger the camcorder autofocus in CM7 for Milestone.

In my opinion, the continuous autofocus is useless, but the ability to invoke autofocus on demand during video recording might come handy.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Themes are installed as apps. You can e.g. install them directly from market.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] alefielm:
Any fix for a known problem? (or why should I update)

thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] linuques:
Also having this problem on CM6. Kindle app is unuseable.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] scoutme:
Open the github link, first post. Comments and description are pretty readable whether you're a developer or not ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LuisLAN:
This last buil have a problem with the "GPS On Status bar icon" it shows the downloading icon
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sushifiend:
Not for me it doesn't! Could it be that you've applied some sort of theme that's causing this for you? If so, try changing your theme.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jibril.r6:
I have some problem with a 256k sim from PosteMobile (an italian phone company).

Every time i power on my milestone with this sim card my phone starts a boot loop.

With another sim works fine. PosteMobile sim card also works fine, i tried it in other phones without problem.

I tried a wipe cache and dalvik and then a full wipe without success.

Anyone with a similar problem?!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skayp:
I have same problem with MTS-Russia SIM. Operator recently reported about improved 3G coverage in my city. At the same time my phone started to reboot unexpectedly. In other places my phone works normally. New SIM card doesn't solve problem.

I figured out that switching to 2G only helps to work without reboots.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jibril.r6:
Was my first test switching between 2g and 3g but without result.

Maybe could be a problem with 256k sims?

I read somewhere that it could be a problem with the kernel or the rom... but it seems so strange
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ngonchan:
This issue causes by the updated versions of Kindle, not by the ROM. Many users with other fones and other ROMs also having this issue.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Sodan Tok:
Hello,

I have two big questions and even google itselft could not answer them.

1) I cant change CPU frequency. If i change it to 800 in CM settingg the phone still use 1000 Mhz. If i change it to 800 in 10overclock file, the phone wont get past 550 Mhz.

2) I cant find way to move some apps (like launcher and widgets) from ext partition to faster internal memory. Sometimes the ext isnt mounted fast enough and all widgets stop working and i must add them manually again.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] facelessone1:
I didn't see or notice but regarding bug when you don't have any sound in a certain call. Can it be fixed anytime soon? Could the bug be from call recording feature? It's really annoying when you have an Important call.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
1) Perhaps you messed up 10overclock file while modifiying (quotes, typo, inappropriate editor...). Don't know how you modded it.

You can try the attached file. Backup original just in case, don't forget to change permissions on new file.

2) I do not have that problem. kabaldan mentioned a few days ago it was fixed ("...prevent services start before sdcard is mounted..."). I doubt your problem is related to sd not being mounted (assuming you are using latest CM7).

About moving I am not sure. You could make them system apps althoug this is a bit pointless for most apps and /data/app, /data/dalvik-cache and /data/app-private is mounted at sd-ext partition so you have no place to move them.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
Regarding lack of sound for incoming calls: I share opinion with facelessone1. For what I can remember the problem did not exist before introduction of two-way call recording. Maybe a coincide. Perhaps the recommend app, call recorder widget is somehow interfering with the sound, although in that case I don't see why would hold - unhold call fix it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] facelessone1:
I don't have anything regarding call recording. No wiget or app. Just rom with synced contacts, email and mclock. Nothing else.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mrvek:
Then it's something else causing the problem. Unfortunately the problem appears to be random so it will probably be difficult to fix (or impossible since the dev said he doesn't have that problem).
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
In regard to the mute calls issue:

Please see and report in issue 752 - http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/issues/detail?id=752

I attached there older libaudio (the one with disabled call recording).

If the issue is caused by the call recording feature, the revert of libaudio should fix it.

But there were reports of this issue happening already in 7.1.5, in which case it's caused by something else.

I need to determine in which build this issue started.

It has been reported that downgrade to 7.1.2 fixed it.

So I need to know - does it happen also in 7.1.4?

As I'm not able to reproduce it, I depend on your reports.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] puffo81:
In my opinion, the issue has started since 7.2.0. Never happened to me with 7.1.5.
