Worst battery life i have ever experienced with any rom ever.

11am i take it off the charger and listen to pandora for 3 hours, send around 40 texts, but most of the time the screen is off.

phone dies at 3:40

its upsetting because the same thing would have gotten Gingervillain down to 70%

Cyan really needs to work on the battery life, features are great but worthless if the phone cant last through a day
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] schaggo:
I'd actually like the same thing for Switzerland. What he means - so I understand - is an English UI but with the region settings of Norway; English (Norway) so to say. For me that would be English (Switzerland) instead of Deutsch (Schweiz) [German (Switzerland)]. Why? Because any other English (US/UK/Sing/Ind/Aus/...) has the "wrong" region settings, like 12h clock, switched date (Month/Day vs Day/Month), etc. So until now, guys living in a non-English speaking country but wanting an English UI, are out of luck. Either locale/region settings correspond or you get English but everything else is screwed up ;)

anyone else having problems with data... cant connect for anything, but phone works fine. this happened after i did an update to rc2, clean install
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Just for grins....plug your phone in via usb to your computer and mount the sdcard. Then unmount it and see if you get the lime green 3g/H icon back.

WiFi Tether errors

I get errors trying to Launch wifi tether or the Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot feature. Anyone having the same issues or am I doing something wrong?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cbmm:
i flashed again and its working w/o changing anything.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blackknightavalon:
If you're getting the SD card error, wipe the phone completely and install nightly build 15.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stumpyz9:
I had mine overclocked but didn't have the animations on and didn't expirience any lag at all. Ill try it with the animations but I don't think it would make that big of difference
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
If you turn Screen On and Screen Off animations to ON and you overcock then there is a good chance you will have wake issues.

Sorry for some bad explenation..

In settings and local you can define what language you want. In other rooms you can chose english systemlanguage with norwegian dictionaries/timezone/currency ++.

Hope that was clearer..

Your right, reinstalling the rom worked. Thanks a million.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] j.youngberg:
Battery life is fantastic so far!

My phone is usually on about 16 hours a day. By the time I plug it in at night I have about 50% left. I use a lot of internet, email, XDA app, (etc) in that time period. Also at work I usually have 0 bars of service.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Spastic909:
Well I upgraded my radio to the one everyone said would fix gps...still nothing...any ideas? I fixed perms, pulled battery, etc etc etc. Its not my gps not locking, its my gps not even being seen by system(no icon). And when I use copilot it says

Not installed...

PLEASE HELP lol..you guys are the best

Also...

... For s&g's, since I had the logcat going, I tried to register for update notifications and logcat shows

D/CMUpdateNotify-DeviceRegistrar( 2745): Registration Error: 404

That explains that one.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
GPS is completely broken for me on #15 and I have the latest radio.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
What update notifications?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
The one in CM settings > System > Update notifications > click on "Register" and it just sits there on the pop up "Registering". It enables push notifications of nightlies. I believe I posted about it in this thread after RC2 came out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
You mean RM premium ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jjuice525:
You know... that actually works. But then everything else goes off so fast (like when you press menu there ins't any animation for instance). I don't like that :p. I guess we can't have everything... :confused:

Can someone confirm this has actually been changed in build15? I checked Github (http://r.cyanogenmod.com/#q,status:open,n,0012f97f0000070a) and dont immediately see a checkin that addresses sd-card read errors.

Additionally, are there any new bugs between RC2 and build15 that would deter me from flashing that anyway??

RC2 is working fine with my 8gb stock card but I'd really like to get my 16gb class10 card back in action (which RC2 wants to format)..

I just updated to RC2 today and now when I go into PowerAmp or the stock music player my music does not show up. It is seen in file mode in PowerAmp but not in library mode. Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
Clockwork Mod and Rom Manager are two different things lol. Yes by the same person, and work together, but you don't need one or the other for each to work. I've never called a program/recovery a different name out of affection haha. Sounds like a n00b mistake more than anything. ;)

Rc2 running good. No issues at all.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
At what point did I call it a recovery? ClockworkMod is the moniker Koushik uses to distribute the rom manager in the market. Before rom manger Cyan's roms were update using another app called rom updater or something similar. My affectionate statement was just a joke. I've been modding my phones long enough, but thanks for the info. Thankfully, I can now distinguish between the recovery and rom manger and realize they are separate entities :p

I flashed RC2 to try it out and after setting up my account and tweaking the settings to my liking, I started getting bootloops. Also, I tried installing Titanium Backup and it kept saying the installation was unsuccessful. Wish I knew what was causing it..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] izanagi:
Had you just connected to a wifi network? I have loaded RC2 about 7 times due to switching sdcards and I've found unless I follow a procedure with the wifi, it'll endup in a bootloop.

The procedure was to enable wifi and then immediately invoke a reboot, so it boots up with the wifi on. After that wifi works perfectly.

And a bump to my earlier question: can anyone confirm that sdcard read issues are fixed in nightly build15? Is there a way to check the integrity of the sdcard in win7 or recovery to confirm my favorite sdcard really is defunct?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stumpyz9:
Yah I did notice a bit longer wake time
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stumpyz9:
I'm pretty sure there fixed I'm on 18 and havnt had any problems with it , so somewhere in those few bulds it got fixed. As for the exact build tho I'm not sure
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bdix:
How do I get my apps back? Sounds stupid, but most of my apps are gone. Even my xda and taptalk are gone. When I go to the market I would have to pay for them again. If I swich back to CM6.1.1 they all come back.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
Did you backup your apps before flashing new rom using titanium backup?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Turbo Brian:
updating to RC2 from RC1 was an epic fail for me. first, gapps wouldnt download from rom manager. so i installed without that and like the time i tried a nightly, without gapps addon, i have no google account and so all my google apps that are already on my phone dont work. that seems dumb to me. anyways, i flash gapps manually via CWM. i go through the setup process again and now im staring at the wrong wallpaper. wtf? i did clear cache and dalvik after the intial rom load and after gapps. this is where it got weird. launcherpro seemed to forget it was the default launcher. my custom icons were being used, but not showing up in the gallery for browsing. plus half my gallery folders were straight up missing. the wallpaper was unchangeable. nothing i selected would apply. i rebooted and got stuck at the splash screen 3 time before i gave up. sigh. back to good ol' RC1. enomther's roms were much more user friendly in terms of updates. just flash over, maybe a cache wipe but thats it and it just works.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] deliriousDroid:
Would flashing this from a cm nightly be alright without a wipe?

Sent from my SilverBullet "HTCDesireZ running CM7"
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BoscoTM:
Now it bootloops as soon as I get to the desktop. And when I went to turn on wifi, no networks show up.

Edit:

I'm also getting bootloops in the newest nightly. There's goes my try with Cyanogenmod.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Yes. RC2 is a nightly just with a different name. There's nothing extra-special about it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] flinkisme:
I've got a noob question.

I read the Cyanogen wiki for the G2. It mentions flashing the radio. Is that necessary to use the CyanogenMod rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bigtrouble77:
Question regarding gapps... Where are you guys getting the apk? I'm still using a version from 12/30. Does it even matter which version I use as each of these has already been updated via the market? Or is it sort of just acting as a placeholder?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] doubleingram:
No, it's not necessary, it's optional.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Well....its not an apk its a zip file. And the link to where you can get the latest version is in the first post of this thread.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bigtrouble77:
You are correct, sorry about that detail. But what is the significance of installing newer gapps if they are getting updated by the market?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Installing the new gapps pack updates the market itself, and a few other framework files. It actually doesn't touch GMail, Maps, etc.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bdix:
Yes I did.....it also did not tranfer my contacts. I reinstalled and same thing.

Also how do I get the little Mic back on my keyboard I downloaded all the goggle gapps

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] iamanalog:
I have to agree with this.. Even with the phone in my pocket, screen off and "normal syncing" im losing around 30-40% with out even using the phone. While actually using yields even worst results.. i guess i need to mess around with what radios to use and what not.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GamerGuy80:
One thing I just noticied is when I tap on the phone program it opens right up to the call log and I have to tap to the dialer....it used to open right up to the dialer...is this a glitch or is there a setting also another thing that I am noticing is when I receive a phone call the slider to answer is off centered

Sent from my G2 with XDA premium app
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Yeah the dialer opens to the wrong tab, and after completing a phone call it automatically closes...

As for your slider being offset, which slider are you using, and have you changed the screen density at all?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
I don't know what you guys are doing to rape your batteries so badly, but I get awesome battery life with CyanogenMod. This is at 70% at the end of the day.

Have you had trouble with gps? Or data? If so, flashing a new radio would be recommendable. At least that was how I fixed my gps in cm7

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BBOOZE:
I have to say my battery life is great/not great with little clarity on what drives the differences. Most of the time my phone lasts just fine most of the day but just in the last 12 hours I had my phone on full charge and at least half a battery when I went to sleep but alas the battery died overnight and my alarm didn't go off. Have no clue what would have made the battery run down.

Another noob question: I love updating ROMs and such but absolutely hate having to go thru the process of putting all of my apps/widgets back on the home screen one by one. I use Titanium backup but that just seems to keep apps/system data and nothing more. Not sure if I'm just missing the totally obvious solution to be able to update a ROM and have my phone's settings/apps/widgets all in place like I had before.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
If you update between CM7 (nightlies, RC, whatever) you can just flash over without wiping (which is what I am assuming you do). Unless you wipe you shouldn't have to replace anything. If you change launchers you can save the setting in most launchers and restore but even that you shouldn't have to unless you wipe. When switching between other roms you have to wipe most of the time, is that what you are refering to? Do you go from sense to CM and back etc?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fermunky:
Quoting as I did not see a response to him, but I know I've seen a screenshot of someone with a similar problem, and I could not find it again in this thread or the nightly thread. I've attached my screenshot of Menu > Settings > Cyanogen Settings > System > Update Notifications.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crachel:
this was an oversight that made it into RC2 and has been corrected in subsequent nightlies
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] deliriousDroid:
Well it seems I am going to have to flash a new radio if I want my GPS to work on any version of cm7. I have never changed the radio before, and am a little unsure how to. Could someone please tell me what the best radio is, where to find it, and how to flash it.

I installed RC2 this morning.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I didn't know that my G2 could play FM, nor did I know there was any sort of equalization available. I enabled it and I'm enjoying Pandora a lot more than I have!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Raccio14:
Hey, I recently updated to RC2 and it seems that the home and search softkeys are no longer working. I still get the haptic feedback response from them, but nothing happens.

Additionially, I have the phone set up for a pattern lockscreen, but there is no lockscreen at all! Just press the power button and it opens right up.

Any one have any suggestions?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Sounds like a bad flash. Try wiping data and reflashing the rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Raccio14:
It does seem a bit like a bad flash, but I just re-flashed and it only worked for a short time. After doing the first re-boot to enable wireless without risk of boot loop, it went back to having the same issue as before.

EDIT: Update: I'm not sure exactly what I did, but after re-restoring all my apps with Titaniumbackup again, and rebooting twice, it all seems to be working perfectly. Weird....

UPDATE 2: I thought it was all working right, but it seems I was wrong. While the home and search buttons are working properly now, the unlock screen is not. The pattern code pad comes up like it would normally, but it accepts any pattern, even just touching it. Additionally, if I flip open the keyboard, it bypasses the unlock screen entirely, which it did do on previous ROMs.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
I'm using rc2 and the lockscreens are working as desired, if you want an added later of security do that the device isn't unlocked set a passeord on, top of the lock screen you picked in cm settings. when the keyboard is opened on my device I first have to unlock with the cm settings lock, then a password if required. setting a gesture instead is even more secure if you set "sliders" off in cm settings as well, fit example a custom gesture and a password are required to open mine, I done anyone works know both.

wipe and reinstall if the lockscreen snag home buttons don't work, had to do it several times on my mt3g.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bdix:
Lol.......I have a very noob question. I set my settings up so the next screen would come up faster as well as off and on animation. But now it does not have on off animation, it just sleeps super fast. Now I can't figure out how to slow it down to get my animation back. Any help?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crevis24:
I flashed this on the day it came out and had the damaged SD card notifications left and right. I really liked the ROM, but this was a killer for me.

After reading around on this thread, it looks like the culprit was that I didnt do a factory reset and just did a cache and data wipe.

Does that sound correct? If not, could anyone else shed some light? I saw some people flashing the nightlies, but I was just curious if it could be fixed without flashing the nightlies and just flashing RC2.

Thank you so much in advance.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SG_Shadow:
3 days in...

So far, so good. I have not come across any problems what so ever. Of course the wifi glitch where you have to reboot as soon as you activate, but that's it. I was having some huge reception issues, but it was fixed when I activated/switched SIM cards. Smooth sailing! Great work Steve (Cyanogen) and team!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stshannon:
Reboot fixes the problem for most.

I had this issue on the first flash of RC2 as well, however i didnt reboot i just did a

And all has been working fine since.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crevis24:
Thank you!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pflunz:
this is because you restored all data (for example that you use a pattern to unlock), but not the pattern. it can`t be saved. so just give your phone a pattern.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] izanagi:
I haven't received confirmation yet that nightly15 fixes anything, but I can confirm that the factory reset wouldn't have helped you. The interesting thing is I formatted my 'bad' sdcard in windows, loaded it into the phone and all was good until I loaded more onto the card at which point I got the damaged SD card notifications again. I expect a sector is damaged that wasn't uncovered until it tried to read enough data.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] izanagi:
This did not work for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] supermario12312:
To anyone having issues: Try wiping (including the dalvik cache, I think this is what has been causing the damaged SD Cards) and reinstalling the ROM. I always wipe dalvik, and have never had an issue with the ROM's. Even my GPS has always worked.

This is also a really good practice to do every time you flash a new ROM anyways.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] izanagi:
I wiped everything possible, even my nose and butt, before installing this rom for the 7th time. Still no bueno.

I expect it is actually detecting a defective card that other roms might not have been, though the card still seems to be working outside of my phone. I'd like to find an integrity checker and verify it's actually damaged.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] reference2myself:
Still getting a lot of "Download unsucessful" with the default browser. The first CM7 ROM I had was RC1 and I had this problem on there and every nihtly up to RC2. Anyone else experiencing this, anyone know a fix?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] supermario12312:
Alright, I am now HIGHLY annoyed.

Why is it that every time I plug in the phone when it's turned off, the phone reboots straight into recovery? I don't wanna say its this ROM specifically, because I haven't (and can't) extensively test this, but this is the first time I've encountered it. So, to me, this means that the phone has to be on so that it can charge.

Mod Edit: Be more respectful when you are addressing "an issue." Remember, XDA Devs provide their work for FREE, be grateful they provide support at all. ~TheRomMistress

But then again, maybe this is just me. Or maybe i'm an idiot and have something set-up wrong. Can anyone else confirm that this indefinetly happens? Is there a way for me to charge the phone and have it OFF? The fact that no one else has mentioned it gives me a very unsettling feeling.
