My Power button is broken. I can remap it so the genius button works as the power but it only does it when the phone is on. To go into recovery I use clockworkmod. To power the phone on I just put the battery inside and the phone turn on byitself.

My questions is if the function to turn byitself is only in sense or in cm7 also or if it in the phone itself no matter what rom I use. I dont want to flash cm7 to find out that i can't turn the phone on ever again.

Thanks for your help
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gbzbar:
Or, you can just go into the Dev Tools in CM7 and go to Media Scanner. It will initiate a new scan if it's not already in the middle of one, and it does it without an additional app. Just a helpful suggestion. :)

Running RC2 with faux's lower voltage kernel. I've gotten upside-down unresponsive lockscreen a couple of times now. If I let the screen turn off and I wake it again, it's back to normal and I can unlock it. Just thought it was worth reporting, and hopefully this won't be an issue when we get to final releases.

Also, still hoping to see the return of invisible pattern dots and other minor stuff.

What rom are you on? What recovery? Do you have a nandroid backup? Are you using a button remap app? Did your power button stop working by itself our did you modify the system keypad files? You need to give better info. If using a button app, use the app to revert to default settings, uninstall the app, boot into clockwork recovery, fix permissions and reboot. If you modified the keypad files, hopefully you made a backup of the file. Restore the file or, using a root r/w capable file manager, manually change the remaps back to the default settings, save the changes and reboot your phone. If none of these options work you should format system, wipe cache, wipe dalvic, then flash a stock rom (or whatever rom you're on). You might even consider doing a full wipe. Basically, there's a difference between your power button being broken and just mapped wrong. If it is in fact broken, no rom will fix that. You're better off getting a new phone through warranty. If your button is mapped poorly, doing a full wipe and flashing cm7 will fix your issue. Make a nandroid before you do anything so you can restore things as they are.

To answer your question more directly, if you're going to flash cm7 coming from another rom you need to do a full wipe in recovery anyhow, so your button problems will be resolved if it's not in fact "broken".

Btw, when I was on stock rom, my phone rarely booted by itself by just popping the battery in. Only sometimes. I don't know why. I have done a battery pull on cm7 and the phone did not auto-boot when the battery was replaced.

Sounds to me like the button is just stuck.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mike21pr:
I dont get it... why is a much lighter, Gingerbread ROM less smooth overall than Sense based ROM? Im really picky like that so it bothers me that the browser and general scrolling through menus and apps is more jerky than my IG ROM. Anyone else notice this?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wyldkard:
I also have a broken power button, but I found out a trick to turning the phone on no matter what rom you have. If the phone is turned off. simple plug the phone into the charger, and then hold the home button for about 5-10 seconds and the phone should boot into recovery, then you can tell it to restart once in recovery

also, what program or method do you use for remapping?

i love cm7 but im still having issues with wake up lag and adw launcher keep crashing. does anyone have any suggestions for me? the only thing ive chagned from the stock adw is changed teh cpu setting to perforamance.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
If power button is really broken (and not software related), you should go after TMo for a replacement. They usually ship one out with a return package/postage label for the broken unit.

You would have to reflash stock ROM and probably stock recovery. Don't know if they would notice s=off, but guide to revert that is in this forum.

If you haven't run gfree you can restore to stock with one click via pd15img.zip.

I'm just wondering if this issue has been resolved...searched and googled, and couldn't find that it had been addressed yet...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jdkoren:
What have you tried? Have you tried fixing permissions with ROM Manager? Have you tried installing after a complete system erase? Have you tried other CPU settings?

That Performance governor, it just forces the CPU to operate at whatever maximum you've set. If your maximum is too high, maybe your CPU is showing signs of strain. Even if it's not, you are losing out on better battery by not letting the CPU clock down during idle periods. Try smartass, interactive, or on-demand as well just to see how it goes.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] smirkis:
ding ding ding. to high of cpu setting for ur phone will cause wakeup lag and adw crashes following it
[myTouch 4G Android Development] 2low2rl:
hey thanks for the response man. and i did do it from a fresh install. i just switched it to on and im running fix permissions now. ill let you know how it works out for me. thanks again.

Try it with faux123's LV Gingerbread Kernel, it's simply amazing how much batt life you get. With 368-12xx Smartass Gov it gets me nearly 30 hours on light-moderate use. And it flies! Dont get me wrong zinx's atlantis kernel is nearly perfect however the LV kernel buys you so much in terms of performance and batt savings. Just IMHO! :D

Running great just one problem...

Hello. I love this rom and it is incredibly smooth. However for some reason I've flashed this rom onto two mytouch 4g's and both times the SD card got corrupted. On one it happened immediately and on the other it took about a week to show up. Now I have to buy new ones:( Any ideas to what may have caused this?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
have you tried formating the cards?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] santizinho:
Yes I formatted it and then placed it back in and my Sd card was completely dead. As in not even recognized through the adapter on my laptop!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] everest.deth:
Highly doubt flashing a ROM could impact ur sdcard. The flashing process takes place on the internal memory and never is the sdcard involved in the process.

Just fyi i flashes faux's kernel a couple of days ago and as soon as i booted i had a notification stating my sdcard was corrupted, i panicked...lol i wont lie, but after going to settings/storage/mount sd card everythimg went back to normal.

has anyone had any issues with the lock sliders showing up during call and the sliders for picking up a call too close to the edge of the screen. I thought these were fixed post RC1. I'm on RC2 with full wipe including system, boot, and sdcard and running latest faux kernel

I have had 2 issues:

Also build won't register with cyanogenmod update servers for push notification.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Clear data in apps settings and reboot. This happens every time you restore a nandroid.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Rcommander:
but i never restored a nandroid, i did a full wipe install. didn't really have anything saved that needed back. re-entered all the info again like login and stuff, no go. Also GPS won't work regardless of how many wipes, or reboot after clean install etc etc. Is it wise to go to nightly build 18?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Did you give it time to "settle" on first boot or just dive into setting up the moment you saw the sign-in screen? A couple of tips that helped me:

1. On first boot, let it sit for a solid 5-10 mins after it finishes booting.

2. After it finishes booting, don't even sign into google. Reboot instead and let it sit another few mins.

This made a big difference for me.

The other thing I noticed is that on builds 17/18 my gps won't work at all unless I turn it on and then reboot with it already on. If I turn it off it won't work at all. I did a full fastboot wipe at 14.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] joeyklatzko:
This is noticeably smoother than the last RC. Everything just scrolls faster with no lag whatsoever. 4D app drawer, menu's, web pages, everything.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Q.Entity:
This is a VERY good advice. I remember you mentioning this sometime ago. It does make a big difference.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
Ditto here - but had already read an earlier post that mentioned it and mounting the SD Card, so did not panic - lol.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
I had GPS trouble with Build 17 and RC2 (have not gone to 18), but fauz kernel fixed it - GPS Status comes right up (after several minutes waiting for it on 17 - flashed the kernel).
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
I never had stable flashes on my mt3g until I started doing that. Bugs galore, lol.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
I've heard others report the same but aren't there some other bugs that come along with it? I don't overclock or anything so don't see the need for different kernels.

This 2.3.3 merge seems to have caused a bunch of little quirks.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
Except - GPS may work for you - lol.

Also, faux recommends using his kernel without overclocking and with smartass governor. Along with the low voltage version, you should see a significant improvement in battery life.

I have seen some recent instability (slight) with it on #17, but that is supposed to be due to overclocking combined with lv.

Give it a try - it it does not fix GPS, and/or you don't like it - just flash the ROM over it again. I would check the instructions on the OP - but in your case, only routine - wipe cache and davlek before flashing it, and reboot after a few minutes after first boot.

Then check GPS and WiFi.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Not bad advice, will give it a try when I get bored of sense again.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] 2low2rl:
ok i did fix permissions and adw launcher still crashes. although it seems to recover faster. but is there anyway to stop the crashes all together?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sn0warmy:
Way to many posts to sift through so I'll ask (and I'm sorry if this has been assked previously): Does Qik Video Chat work with this rom?

I've been completely unsuccessful in getting Tango and Qik to work in any ROM since rooting. It's starting to drive the girlfriend nuts since it was one of the key reasons why she wanted us to get these phones in the first place.

Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
You are in deep shi....

Tango should work OK - I use it for TMo and video calls to AT&T (jailbroken iPhone). you image was upside down and a change had to be made in build prop, but i believe that has been fixed (was a tango app issue).

I believe I read that Qik was working also. You should search the nightlies thread for that.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] UntamedDeviance:
This was in the FAQ's... It didn't work for me, my picture is still upside down, but maybe it will work for you, and my sister has an iPhone 4, and I am able to video talk to her with no problem... Except the upside down picture :p
[myTouch 4G Android Development] santizinho:
Thanks! It was that kernal. Time to go by a 32gb lol
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sn0warmy:
Thanks, I was getting the upside down image with Tango as well. I will give it another try now. If this works I will finally have her off my back for "screwing up her perfectly reliable phone". :p
[myTouch 4G Android Development] AlexFG:
I tried modifying the build.prop file to fix the upside down video problem with Tango but changing the ro.product manufacturer to samsung does not fix the issue. Anyone else has any ideas?

is there a stable sense 2.3 based ROM out there yet? I've just seen one but it's full of bugs.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jdkoren:
I'm not sure if it's the ROM or faux's kernel, so I'm posting in both places. Sometimes after a reboot the phone thinks the SD card is damaged and it doesn't mount. I have to go to Settings > Storage and click Mount SD card, then everything's fine. Doesn't happen all the time and it's not causing me any trouble, but eh.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] AlexFG:
it's the ROM not the kernel.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sactownsav:
I am having the same issue, changed build.prop and still upside down... Tango used to work fine without even changing build.prop a few nightlies ago but I can't seem to remember the last one that had it working ..
[myTouch 4G Android Development] HeavyComponent:
I had that issue with some random reboot issues. I did a clean install and everything is great. I use to just upgrade, but I won't be doing that anymore. :D

ok can someone please help me still. it would be very much appreciated. i love cm7 but the one problem im havnig is adw launcher crashing. i fixed permission and am still having the problem. is there a kernel i could try or soemthing to fix this. its been driving me nuts lately. Its not to bad I am just tired of it fcing and lagging to go to the home.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jdkoren:
It's hard to diagnose something like that. You could try a wiping data and cache, then on first boot let it sit for a couple minutes without signing in. Reboot, wait a minute, and THEN sign in. If that doesn't work, maybe a fresh install after a fastboot system erase might do the trick (along with waiting a few minutes before sign in)

Alternatively, you could always try installing another launcher.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tnpapadakos:
i would try uninstalling adw and reinstalling it

i gotta tell ya, the blue bold large font makes me not even want to read the post, though...it repels the eyes
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jpcdeux:
Installed, started, setup then it restarts, and restarts and restarts and restarts...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
This is a common question. On first boot, DON'T sign into google. Reboot again, THEN sign into google.

In recovery chose wipe data/factory reset and try again, doing what I said.

K cool, thanks!

Im not sure if this was said but wifi and HSPA seem to have slowed dont since rc2. My wifi signal definitely seems alot worse on this rc2 rom.

i noticed this too on mine..both wifi being weaker and not getting as fast 4g speeds...err.. the only issue I have had..
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tnpapadakos:
a bit off topic, but i just had a weird, OTA update i think from Tmobile on my glacier

i was still rooted, but all data apps were gone, had to sign in to google upon boot, my rom was all still there, though :confused:

like a data-only wipe-out...

had to reinstall rom manager and do a nandroid backup

it all started by booting into the stock recovery by mistake (forgot i had it on that since charging with phone off last night)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] OneBadLT123:
I posted this earlier and I was wondering if anyone has found anything out, or if they know how to fix this...

Is it me, or did we lose the dialer shortcut? When I click on the phone app in the drawer, it takes me to my contact list. If I click on the contacts list, it also takes me there. I cant find the shortcut to the dialer anywhere...

Did I miss something? I had it set up with RC1 but now I have no clue where its at !?!? I have looked all over and cant find it anywhere
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Niggiebro:
Dialer is there for me, the problem I have is when I get a busy signal and my device disconnects itself, it open ups in "Mobile Network Settings", for some reason, and that's only when I'm trying to get throw a radio contest!

There was one thing I'd like about gingerbread was the TV closing when you put the device in sleep mode! Can you add that back in?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ziggy34:
I have the same problem, on a clean wipe and install, the dialer works fine. After awhile starts going to contracts. Still have not figured out why.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ziggy34:
Its still there, settings/CM settings/ display. Make sure screen-off animation is checked. if it is, make sure animation speed is set to normal and not fast in spare parts under window animations
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rockstarar:
my wifi is just stuck at "connecting..." whenever i turn it on? its not hw, works on evil D:'s DHD and RoyalT.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gbzbar:
The dialer is there, but it's just opening to the last activity you used when you called someone. For example, if you dial someone from your favorites, then it will open your favorites. If you dial someone from the "Phone", or dialer section, then that is what will be opened next time you open the dialer.

It is documented in this bug report, but I'm not sure if it's a bug or a feature... seems like a feature the way it behaves. So who knows if they'll fix it.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
I am past RC2, but I did not notice any difference on HSPA+. It stayed at 5800-6200 download speeds. WiFi took longer to connect (do not recall if it was also weaker). I flashed faux kernel and that seemed to give it a productive kick on commecting sooner.

I also had the GPS slow to lock issue, but faux kernel also fixed it. These could have been due to not working off a clean flash for some time however.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] skinnyaznkid:
I had the same problem today. Never had a problem before. I went into advanced options and flipped through the regulatory domain channels and it decided to work again.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rockstarar:
That didnt work, sorry.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] DonJuan692006:
Wipe and re-flash. Had the same issue along with the phone getting stuck in landscape and a fresh flash fixed it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rockstarar:
i know that was going to happen, but i was looking for ditch attempts, ya know.? im too lazy to set everything back up. sigh...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] skinnyaznkid:
I didn't want to reflash either. Just keep rebooting and messing with the advanced settings and toggling the wifi and it might fix itself like it did for me.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dcwiker05:
Ok my problem has finally gotten to the point of real annoyance today. The market on CM7 just never works the way it should... I always get "network error: Rety or Cancel" I mean multiple times just trying to search and download an app. Then once I do find an app it always downloads INSANELY slow and says its downloading the same app twice even though I only clicked it once.

But what set me over the edge today was I had a bunch of updates for apps today, clicked update all, 10 minutes later 3 out of 6 of the apps havent even started to download, they still say processing. 2 just stopped doing anything and are back under may app list as needing updates. And the last one is nowhere to be found...its removed from my applist and uninstalled from my phone.

I love CM7, I was hesitant to swicth from Sense cuz I hated the G2 but I have since found replacements for everything sense did. I want to stay with CM but I cant find anything on this market issue. Thing is my friend who's MyTouch I rooted has the same issue just not as bad (mostly just gets a lot of network errors) she has RC-2 stock kernal and stock CM7. My friend who rooted his own Glaicer also has a lot of network error issues and he has the same set up I do Faux Kernal, CM7 RC2 and the Colorize theme.

HELP???
[myTouch 4G Android Development] smirkis:
if it friends phone who I also did is having issues ur doing something wrong.

wipe data, cache, dalvik. flash rom, flash gapps, boot up and let it do its thing. turn on wifi and let it wig out then reboot.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dcwiker05:
Thing is both my firends phones where freash out of the box roots, everything was done from the start (root, nandroid, wipe (everything) flash, boot, then reboot) and both of them have the same issue as I do. My phone is the only one that has been through nightly updates, I started with CM7 nightly 8 upgraded religiously till RC-1. Stuck with that a while then went to the new nightly 8-12 till RC-2. Also switching form nightly 12 to RC-2 I did a complete clean install. I've had the problem since RC-1 I would say. This is just the first time its been really bad (to the point of removing an app without a trace and it was the Amazon shopping app to nothing malware.)

I really don't want to reflash my phone again cuz that is such a pain in the a$$. I was thinking maybe finding a flashable market apk but I havent been able to locate one. I also read something a while ago about editing build.prop to get better HSPA+ and I did that, it didn't seem to help my internet speed but it did seem to at least cut back the market errors. Thing is I have no idea where I read about that and I don't remember what I edited to do it again.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
Or - rather then wiping data, try formatting /system. Plus, if you have not done so already, first erase market app data and reboot. That alone fixed it for me when I had a similar problem.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Echo113:
google apps add on

Is there a newer version than the one on the first page? I can't get Market to update. Is it part of that?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] skinnyaznkid:
Now my wifi is acting up again. Guess there's no other way but to reflash.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
Be sure to wipe first. generally just re-flashing only does not clear up WiFi issues. You could try wiping cache and dalvek, and format /system first - as this preserves your data and only takes a few minutes.

Otherwise, you may have to do a total wipe starting with fastboot system erase. That will wipe data also, so hopefully you already have a good nandroid backup.

Note - I would try flashing faux gingerbread kernel (2.1.5 if you are on RC2). Wifi connecting was a little slow when I was on RC2, and this cleared it up for me. Do not use latest kernel version (2.2.0) on RC2.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
There is a march 7 version of Gapps.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] skinnyaznkid:
Thanks. But it started working again after toggling airplane mode. If it does it again ill follow your steps.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
Good luck. If you have not done so, make a nandroid - it may come in handy down the road.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Echo113:
Yeah. That's the one I have. My android market wont update though.
