Mail Setting not working

Try setup Yahoo or even Gmail in the default mail program, and it almost never work. It seems like the pop/server setting are all screwed up. I managed to use manual setting to finally get Yahoo to work on IMAP.

However, I want Gmail to push email to me, not through polling.. so i guess I will need to stick with the default GMAIL program.. I do like to integrate all mail in one program though.

Anyone having GPS issues? I have it enabled and there is no icon in the top bar nor will Facebook or Google maps pick up my location. I did a full wipe when installing. I went from the latest stable CM6 to the RC1. Using the latest radio also.

Everyone is talking about downloading via rom manager, but ever since the beginning of january, the only thing ROM manager lists in the downloads area is the superuser binary. The only category is Extras and the only two things there are superuser ef and superuser cd. :confused:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Irisservice:
Pull the battery out for a few minutes....install gps test from market and test :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
It seems the only manifests ROM Manager is downloading are the "all devices" manifests, which only contain the free superuser binaries. :confused::confused::confused:

It's not checking espresso ones, or else it's using the wrong device name to check, because there are NO roms in my downloads list, and as a result, I get no update notifications. :mad:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ilama:
I've tried that, still doesn't work, the GPS activity icon doesn't even show up in the statusbar.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Phantisy:
Tried that and GPS status is on but I never get a signal. Waited 10 minutes and its a no go. Left the phone outside to make sure there was nothing blocking the view to space. Maybe do a re-flash? Wifi is working fine though.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] cberbes:
Problem.....got a problem here.

I was going through the steps, flashing from 6.1 to 7.0. Did a nandroid backup, formatted system, cache, and data, performed a factory reset....then fat thumbed myself into rebooting BEFORE flashing 7.0. So now the phone stays on the white MYTouch screen, and if I try to boot into recovery mode (vol down + power), recovery only gives me a red triangle. I can't get past this....either red triangle or MTS splash screen.

Any help?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mylostlonelysoul:
Flashing from most recent nightly to RC1, I honestly see no issues, haven't looked at GPS cause I don't need it, but Wifi and CPU frequencies are perfectly fine.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xologist:
Try uninstalling Rom Manager and installing it again.. if you haven't done so.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Phantisy:
Went back to 6.1.1 and now my GPS works. I will stick with this til its sorted out.

I flashed CM7 RC1 through ROM Manager and checked off google apps. CM7 loads and there's no Market. I reboot and flash Google apps. Now I get a boot loop between the welcome to Android screen and the animated Cyanogenmod logo.

EDIT: I think I flashed an older gapps. I restored and going to try again.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] petraman:
Are you sure you flashed the newest gapps? Only the newest will work

http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-gb-20110120-signed.zip

If you didn't, reflash the rom (if you don't know how to get into clockwork, with the phone off press and hold volume down and the power button until it starts up, wait for the screen with the red warning sign and press volume up and power (might have to do it a few times), select update.zip and hit power and there you are) and then flash gapps
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
That gapps hasn't worked for a lot of people. I use the 0115 gapps, they work seamlessly for me. Try these: http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/gapps-gb-20110115-signed.zip

Oh and I fixed my rom manager no downloads issue, I made a Q thread in the q&a section and then solved my own problem, fancy that
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sizzlechest:
I did the 2010 apps by mistake.

BTW, I noticed that CM7 RC1 gets installed twice in Clockwork Recovery by Rom Manager instead of installing gapps. Actually, gapps was never downloaded. Is that a bug?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SlimDan22:
Tested for about 3 hours, everything is great!!

The only problem i had was with WIFI, it worked for a while, then stopped, rebooted then it would work again for a while then it would stop.

Reverted back to 6.1 because i don't have data and use WIFI a lot

I also have the latest radio
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
Might be a bug, just manually flash cm7+gapps, or set up a chain flash after enabling advanced mode in settings
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] petraman:

When I receive a call I get the rotary lock thing and it blocks my caller id. Any one else getting this issue? And gps isn't working either
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
Yeah the rotary answer is a bit glitchy. It doesn't block all of my caller id, but yeah. If you change the lockscreen style to sliding tab it may fix it, don't know though if that affects the phone sliders.

GPS is working fine for me however, as is wifi

Hi there,

Been churning and burning since the early builds, and have been impressed with the progress. Thank you to all.

I am having the rotary unlock appear also on the screen during a call, and cannot change governors outside of 'on demand'. Otherwise, everything, including wifi and gps works great. I didn't load miguel's kernel, unless I did it unwittingly.

Any questions about my report, please let me know. I'm not good at programming, but I can report what issues I have. Cheers!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Vietnamazing:
download setcpu and change ur max setting to 864 or something over 600. If the governor is working correctly, whenever you open setcpu up, it should downclock back to about 600 even though ur max is at 864. With the max cpu lock. It will always show that its at the maximum freq that you set at.

A longer test if you don't want to mess with setcpu, is that your battery life will be CONSIDERABLY worse if you have the max cpu bug. For me, I got about 8-12 hour battery life with max cpu bug, and usually about 24-30 hours when the governor is working.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] wave_sailor:
The second it connects to wifi, it seemed to block anything that was going through my router. I was watching Netflix and it stopped pretty quickly with a network error, even though the tv is hardwired to the router. What gives?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sizzlechest:
Getting force closes with ADW Notifer. Uninstalling an reinstalling fixed it. I think Titanium Backups restores could be causing most of the problems.

Is there a way to disable the cpu governor in CM7? I have setcpu and use profiles depending on the battery state and having it installed seems to be creating a conflict and slowing the phone as they fight it out.

Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Taylortron3030:
Ya, I miss this too. I also miss a feature I think was built into CM6 - the abiltity to put custom messages on the lockscreen. I used it to put a "return to owner" message in case I lose my phone.

Oh ya, for sure. I have have noticed that issue since when I was using CM6.0. I am assuming it is being left there as a failsafe against getting locked out by accident... some kids would be sooo upset :S But, that is just my guess since the CM team can fix just about anything if they want to. If it is being left that way on purpose, I would like the failsafe to be something a little different, such as pressing and holding the menu button for 5 seconds... just something more difficult to guess.

I am not sure if I understand the issue you mentioned completely (I'm a bit noob), but I will tell you what happened to me just in case it is the same as your problem.

So, my gmail stopped updating after I did a full wipe and install. To get it going again I went to Accounts & Sync then clicked on my gmail account under the heading "Manage accounts". For some reason, perhaps by default, the boxes for Calendar and Contacts were ticked but Sync Gmail was not. So, ya, ticking it fixed my problem. Hope that helps you.

I noticed something strange. If I reboot the phone to recovery it's an older one, 2.5.0.1. If I do it through ROM Manager, it's the latest 2.5.0.7. Where is the old one? is it on the SD Card somewhere?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
The one that s-off flashed is 2.5.0.1. Rom manager flashed the latest in zip format when it reboots, but you have to manually flash the update if you don't use rom manager. Our phones will only actually change recoveries through fastboot flashing. Otherwise, if you flash 2.5.0.7 on top of the current 2.5.0.1, you will lose it when you reboot, just like we didn't have permanent recoveries before s off.

Also, is anyone else having issues with the market? It gets stuck on installing and uninstalling stuff. It never says it completed, you have to force stop it to get it to recognize the action.

Do I have to run that ISO for S-OFF again to flash 2.5.0.7?

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xologist:
Hey just to let everyone know, I started having several problems.

I wiped/factory & cache, now everything runs very nice, so if you haven't wiped to RC1, back up your apps and do it. It really takes no more than 5 minutes.

Btw, I don't know if you guys have notice there are more lockscreen types, rotary, etc.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sizzlechest:
Do you let the phone restore the settings and apps from backup? If not, how do you prevent it?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xologist:
What I do is this:

1) Back aps with Titanium backup

2) Boot to recovery

3) Wipe/factory reset

4) clear cache

5) apply any zip from sd card, select CM7 RC1

6) apply any zip drom sd card, Select Google apps

7) reboot phone, sign in etc etc

8) Quickly go to settings > privacy > automatic restore (I turn it off)

9) Open Titanium backup , click menu , batch restore apps.

The battery life is VERY impressive. I've been unplugged since 10:30 and have been on wifi most of the day, used gps to find a restaurant and basic web browsing in between classes... yet I still have 60% battery life! I have no clue how this was pulled off... Bravo, Cyanogen!

One thing, though, does anybody use the setcpu widget? I've been using it for a while before RC1 and for some reason after a couple hours it gets stuck on a profile (i.e. if the profile is at max 825, the widget might say 480 from charging). I've gone into setcpu to make sure my profiles were still working (and they are, looks like I didn't get the governor bug) and also reinstalling. It might just be a problem with setcpu, but I was wondering if anyone else was having problems with their widgets updating...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] wave_sailor:
Do you restore apps and data or just apps?

One time I restored everything (including system) and got into a boot loop and had to start at step 2 again, but just did apps afraid maybe some data hosed me too besides system restore.

So far everything is working for me, GPS, Wifi, calls, every problem mentioned has not been an issue with me. BUT, I started from scratch. I screwed up my cm6 to cm7 update and ended up unrooting my slide, and re-rooting and installing cm7 from scratch. That MAY be one of the reasons everything is working for me.

The only thing I find odd, is the color of the symbols in the status bar (wifi, network, signal strength). At first they were green, then they turned grey, but everything was working fine. Then I turned on GPS to check something, and the icons turned green again. So I'm not sure what that's about, but it's obviously not a big deal.

I tell you this though, my Slide has been sitting on the shelf since I replaced it with my G2. I rooted it and was running cm6, but that alone was no reason to use it over my G2 that I only use VISIONary temp root to run specific apps. But since I put cm7 on the Slide, the G2 has been sitting on the shelf. I actually like it better than the g2 at this point. So needless to say, I will be rooting the G2 and running cm7.

But the green/gray icon thing IS kind of weird. Not an issue really, just kind of strange.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SefEXE:
If I recall correctly, it turns green when you are 'synced'('connected'?) with Google.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] cberbes:
Could be, I have sync background items on. Makes sense.

I DID have my first reboot a few minutes ago while I was playing Angry Birds....but it might have been because I overclocked it a tad too much. I backed it down to 806. And my battery use is inconsistent, it was fully charged this morning and dropped down a few ticks really fast, but it took forever to get below 50% with heavy usage....then dropped down again quickly. That just might be due to the overclock and because the phone has basically been sitting off for a few weeks, only used for very short periods of time over the past few months, then charged. I'm letting it drain all the way down and do a full charge to see if it's normal tomorrow.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] perknite:
My phone just wigged out on me bigtime. Everything was working great with this rom (gps, bluetooth, wifi/wifi calling). Then I decided to navigate with it. After about 5 minutes of navigating it reboot. It was downhill from there. I just kept getting reboots anytime I used bluetooth or gps. For sanity's sake I just flashed NB's Mod. Anyone else experience anything similar? For the record, I never had a problem obtaining gps location within 6 meters, and I always wipe everything before flashing.

EDIT: Sorry for not giving credit where its due. It was NB's mod (I corrected it). Also want to add that I had set the max cpu speed to 768 with miguel's smartass kernel (using smartass governor). I was not using setcpu.

Great work, CM. Can't wait until this goes stable!
