[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KiNG OMaR:
It's not because of the ROM, it's a well known issue with the recovery itself.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
The fact that you haven't actually tried to search for an answer to this issue is what's truly unsettling. This has been a known issue for a long time.

Unless you feel like hacking the proprietary HTC code (good luck) and figuring out how to keep that from happening, then I suggest you bite your tongue. The developers (Koush in this case) put in a lot of hard work to get this to you, and all you can do is complain? Kinda makes me glad I gave up coding.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] supermario12312:
I tried searching, but me, not knowing it was a recovery problem (which makes alot of sense, now that I think about it), was searching for the wrong thing.

Maybe I came off as ungrateful for their work. I apologize for that, I was irritated, and couldn't find a solution (again, I wasn't sure what the problem was).

And I would have tested it if it weren't my only means of communications at the moment, but I'm not at home right now, so I can't really switch to a different ROM, irregardless of how much I want to for the purposes of testing this.

Again, my apologies for coming off as ungrateful. I really do appreciate the hard work Koush does, I simply couldn't find an explanation to this.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/irregardless EDIT: Wait a minute...

On a more related note, I'm not the only one who's noticed that if you hold down the camera button, the phone vibrates nearly continuously?

Also, does anyone know why the screen has to be on in order for WiFi Hotspot to work?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
It's one of those stupid words that because people kept using it, they kind of had to add it. I'm praying that they don't incorporate "conversate" for this same reason. Ugh.

Anyway, there IS a fix for the booting into recovery issue. I forget the user that posted it in the Recovery thread. What it'll do is boot to the charging screen instead. It's supposedly an easy fix, so not sure why Koush is holding off on adding it, unless he's found some reason not to. Personally I like it booting into recovery. Let's say someone has a broken power button .. if they can just connect the USB and have the phone boot to recovery, they can then reboot the phone and power it on. I'm speaking as a former Nexus One owner, lol. Mine never broke, but in their cases, this would be an extremely valuable feature/bug/flaw/whatever
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] supermario12312:
Never thought about it like that... When you really think it is kinda cool. Sure did scare the hell out of me, thats for sure :o

Might I ask, which recovery thread you are referring to? Could you perhaps provide a link? :D

^^^ This guy :D:D:D

A little more snooping revealed that Koush knew about this, and he even approved and merged code for the HTC Tattoo. Hmm... a little weird, but I won't die :p

Question: In theory, couldn't you just charge the phone while it's on to 100%, go into Clockwork, and wipe the battery stats, and charge the phone again when the system reboots to get the same effect as a power cycle?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
That's odd indeed. Meh, oh well, as you said, I won't die, lol. I "guess" it may be the same as a power cycle, but I'm not sure. I find that after a few charging cycles with a ROM, my phone seems to calibrate itself again. I never wipe battery stats. I was following the battery thread here (or maybe it was the Nexus One section when I had them) .. but I never was that obsessed with the battery, lol. It lasted what I needed it to.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] merdely:
I agree. I've never "calibrated". If I flash every day, battery life is pretty crappy. If I charge to 100% and drain to < 20%, recharge, repeat, battery life gets consistent (about 40 hours).

I do notice that doing things like downloading 80 MB files (ROMs), using "Get a Robot VPNC", and other things that would be obvious drains, I get less life. And I'm OK with it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
I think I remember reading somewhere that the battery stats were actually stored in the OS somewhere, so that re-flashing had the same effect as wiping stats. I could be totally off, but that would at least explain what you are experiencing. And I experience it, too :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] supermario12312:
Yeah, I noticed that if you just stick with a ROM for a while, the battery kinda adjusts.

But then again... I would probably get better life If I waited until it actually dipped below 50% before charging it :o

Besides, I don't think im gonna be flashing another ROM until the next nightly (or RC, but I doubt thats gonna happen soon), so i'll have ample time to test this out over spring break. Not really gonna bother wiping the stats, considering i've never done that before, and it's not really worth the effort :p

As a Unix sysadmin, I'll admit that some of the things going on with these phone-specific issues (G1 -> N1 -> G2) are a mystery to me. But, I feel like the battery life thing makes sense. It really depends on what you're running. If you have something installed and it's always running (I have Advanced Task Manager but have no autokill) and you're not using it, uninstall it. Network, 3G, Bluetooth, display use, audio all use battery. The more you use them, the more your battery drains. The idea is to make your phone automatically do the things you want it to and not use your battery doing the things you don't care about.

If you use your battery to download an 88MB file over 3G, reboot, do a backup, flash, reboot, that's gotta use a lot of battery. But, if you then use your phone as you normally would without doing "out of the ordinary things", it will normalize.

Edit: I added the "As a Unix sysadmin" thing because I want people to know I do know Unix/Linux and that I know how Unix-like systems work. And that the way these phones work are like Unix systems in one way and in a completely f'd up way in another.

Installed RC2 a couple of days ago. Generally it, it works quite well. However, still no Orbot. I'm assuming that the iptables related problem mentioned elsewhere is still in play. However, instead of trying to figure out how to diagnose it properly, I'm going to just leave this half-assed report here.

I've noticed great increases in speed! And battery life! ...oh, wait, that's not running everything through Tor.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] schaggo:
Happens if you enable to use the "sent time" instead of the "received time". The timestamp of the moment the message has been sent is off by some hours. In my case 1h (UTC+1 anyone ;) ).

I fix it by using SMS Time Fix, available for free in the Market.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jason Phan:
Data speed is only 50% of stock rom or Virtuous rom.

I like this CyanogenMod very much, but I find out, the download speed, most of the time for this Rom at my location, is around 1-2 Mbs, compare with 3-4 Mbs for Stock rom, or Virtuous rom. This happen with CyanogenMod 6xx, too. I do alot of flashing between the roms and at the same time, same place, many days. I got 1-2 Mbs for Cyan, then flash to stock, got 3-5 Mbs, then Cyan 1-2 Mbs, then Virtuous 3-5 Mbs, then Cyan 1-2 Mbs. I do this many many times.

Anyone has any ideas?

thanks.

Are you serious? Who is hung up on it? The word is silly. Just because people use words doesn't mean they should be added to the dictionary. Cuz << should that be added? Hai << should that? I mean come on, there has to be a line drawn.

I can understand within reason yes, but just because a large body of people say/do something, doesn't mean that it should be accepted. Get over my differing opinion. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fermunky:
Not to further derail, but I think they excuse blatant bastardizations of words versus others that could be taken seriously, such as "google" becoming a verb etc.

To add content: Other than the moon-speak under the update registration screen, this RC2 has been pretty smooth and even good battery life.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] j.youngberg:
Agreed. So far I have been really impressed by the speed and overall battery of RC1 and RC2.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
True.

RC2 was a battery hog for me. Watched the battery life zapping down. So odd. It could be an app, but on the other ROMs I've tried it's never been like this. Not sure what it is. I miss my cm lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Json_81:
This is really a non-issue for me but still.

Noticed in both rc1 and 2, also if I remember correct it was in cm6 aswell.

My phone sometimes show "G" instead of "H" for data speed.

Would mean gprs instead of hspda (spell?). BUT! Connection is as fast as normal, even did speedtest and got 1.5MBit while showing "G". It also sometimes shows "E" which I assume is edge, but my carrier has no edge support. Haven't done speedtest while phone showing "E", but connection seemed as fast as normal.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tangiers:
Still no GPS. Have it under CM 6.1.1. Never had it under RC1 either. Have the latest Aus radio. Fixed permissions. GPS icon doesn't even get activated.

Well I know when I had my AT&T branded Nexus One, I could use it here in Canada with certain carriers, but only hsdpa. No edge. Wasn't a carrier limitation in my instance.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Been running CM7 the past few days to see what's changed with Gingerbread and I can attest to some abysmal battery life. It's interesting that some folks are reporting great battery and others (like me) are seeing the opposite.

Ignoring all the subjective "heavy", "moderate" descriptors, here's my simple result. I charge the device to 100%, unplug it and go to bed. Wake up 8 hours later and I'm at 62-65% battery. And of course, I look at all the usual data points (app partial wake, network usage, cpu usage, etc) and nothing stands out. Realistically we should not see more than 1-2% per hour drain on standby. Something is very wrong.

Going forward, would those of you reporting battery life (either good or bad) please include the radio version you are running? pfak has been working on correlating radio with ril libs and I think he may be onto something. As it stands we have nothing to differentiate the various reports from people, so the Cyanogen devs have nothing to base any investigation on.

My results: Poor battery life / Radio 12.28h.60.140f_26.06.02.27

Testing tonight: TBD /Radio 12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17

Aside from the battery drain issue, which I'm sure will get resolved, this is a great ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Json_81:
Telenor, Sweden.

Only Telia bothered with edge in Sweden, the other carriers built 3G directly instead.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdWRX:
And what happens when u go to a remote place in canada where no hsdpa signal? U just go into gsm?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdWRX:
Concerning battery life, mine's been pretty good :) I decided to run 806mhz of clocking, because you don't need much more while normal use.

I've managed like 12.5 hours, and get like 10% battery left.

Also in setcpu, I read another xda fellow using interactive profile, I've been testing it for a few days and battery life is pretty good now. Give it a try if you want

Fixed GPS

I had GPS on my Desire Z with CM 6.1.1. Lost it with CM 7 RC1 even though I had the latest Aus radio. Same thing with RC2.fix permissions didn't work.

Just reflashed the same radio AND NOW GPS WORKS!!!

And I don't lose it if I switch it off/on.

Seems that for some reason flashing the radio again fixed the problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
I just lose service, lol. Well, that was the Nexus days, but yeah.

I usually use interactive as it scales better for me, but it still just drains. Using the latest radio: 12.28h.60.140fU_26.06.02.27_M
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] merdely:
Reflashing 12.28h.60.140fU_26.06.02.27 did not alleviate the "GPS only works the first time it is activated" problem.

Through SetCPU, in "Screen Off", I'm set to 245-768 conservative and I've been able to go like 8.5 hours (8 sleep + 0.5 hour browsing) and stay around 100% battery. It really works.

Rest of the time, it's 245-800 interactive and it's better than stock Froyo.

Of course, I'm am experiencing "the GPS only works until you turn it off, and then reboot to turn it back on" issue with radio 12.28h.60.140fU_26.06.02.27_M.

keyboard issue -intermittant

Hey,

I have a desire z and using cyanogen 7 rc2.

Occasionally i will go to type using the keyboard (hardware keyboard) and some of the keys instead of typing they will open something up.

i.e. 'e' opens email setup, 'l' opens calendar, 'p' opens music 'g' opens gmail. etc

And it is bloody annoying. the only way i have found to stop it is to reboot the phone.

Anyone have any ideas what would cause this?

Thanks

I was having the same issue so I just when into the settings and deleted all the shortcut keys. I never used them anyway.

Heymate,

Where did you delete the shortcut keys?

I had a look in settings > keyboard, cyanogenmod settings > input and in spare parts and the messaging app settings but couldnt see anything that stuck out.

I did find this post however http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/17324-weird-keyboard-problem-after-switching-to-cm7/

Which says to set the quick keys to apps and it fixed it for them, so i have set quick key 1-3 to some random applications and will see if it happens again.

Bluetooth issue - but awesome battery

Hey Everyone,

I have an issue with bluetooth and my car kit.

I have this phone (desire z with cyanogen 7 rc2) and also a windows mobile phone (HTC Touchpro 2 - work phone)

Now i have a bluetooth car kit in my car, during work days i have bluetooth disabled on my desire, and enabled on the touchpro 2.

This connects up perfectly and connects within 30 seconds of the car being on.

Now on days off or weekends i have the touchpro 2 bluetooth turned off (or not even with me) and the bluetooth on on the desire z android phone).

Sometimes i am lucky and it will connect up in a minute or so, other times it doesnt connect at all.

Looking in the bluetooth menu it shows the carkit and has "paired but not connected"

Sometimes i will restart the phone with the car on it will reboot and connect up, sometimes it wont connect.

Does anyone know how i can get this to work for me as it is pretty frustrating.

Thanks

Also just a note BATTERY LIFE IS AMAZING!

I have some set cpu profiles for 275-1.2ghz for operating and slowed down for screen off, and 275-1ghz for under 50% battery and 275-800mhz for less than 20% battery.

I took my phone off charge at 7:30am yesterday.

As it stands now i have had it on batter for 1 day 15hrs and 16mins. and i STILL have 23% battery left! This has blown me away.

i have been used to having to recharge every night (i probably still will after this experiment) But this has been awesome.

I havent been using the phone heavily, but this has been with bluetooth on for a few different times. a handful of phonecalls, a couple of hundred texts. it has facebook sync running, it has had 3g turned on the whole time, it backks up messages to gmail, i have taken a couple of photos, used the internet a few times and downloaded some apps from market.

I am very impressed with how long the battery has lasted :)

Not heavy usage, but not just sitting there either.

Cheers

EDIT: I think i jinx'd my battery! Today after a full charge i was down to 19% by 3:30pm, and it died around 4:30pm. i have no idea what changed! :( wasnt using my phone much either

EDIT again: battery was insane again today? 7am to 6pm and only down to 72% with a bunch of facebook and some calls.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fermunky:
For those having the ringtone issue, does this seem to happen in conjunction when you've unmounted the sdcard for any reason, whether it be through the settings menu or by connecting to a PC and putting it in USB harddrive mode? If you're ringtones are on the sdcard and the card is unmounted, it then reverts to default tones on the phone, but should revert back to your normal selection when the sdcard is mounted. In rare cases though, I've also noticed that it never went back to my normal tone, and not sure why.

I've come to the conclusion that setcpu profiles do more harm than good in terms of battery use. I manually change the frequencies now if I want to lower it to save battery. when not in use, the default cpu governor is going to keep the phone on the lowest frequency anyway... so just turn profiles off.

Just flashed/upgraded from CM 6.1.1 to 7.0 rc2.

So, I've also got the same gps not responding issues that a lot of people have been mentioning. However, I've encountered another nasty bug. I was in the latest ver of google maps testing the gps and location stuff when my phone pretty much crashed. From there it auto-rebooted and the cyanogen animation popped up. Except that it would basically finish only to crash again and loop like so endlessly. Managed to shutdown and power back on and it's stopped.

Just a heads up.
