So yesterday, after having CM7 loaded for about 2 weeks, my wifi stops working.. After doing a bit of research I discover its a common problem, so I try the various solutions including changing the number of channels and both upgrading & downgrading my radio image, but nothing works.. Somewhere along the line I lost my ClockWorkMod recovery image & being the newbie that I am I decided to go back to the start & follow the process that I initially used to root (the one at unlockr.com), but at the last step, instead of installing the rootedupdate.zip file I decided to try my luck with installing CM7 again, & lo & behold it worked, wifi's working again...

not really sure which step of the root process fixed the issue but if I had to guess I'd say the correct radio image was flashed, maybe someone could properly identify the correct solution...?
[Legend General] namtrac:
My adb logcat session shows that its trying to connect to some network that is unavailable and fails. ı tried to remove the 2nd , 3rd offline networks and it started working.
[Legend General] websitefandude:
thanks very much deleting the saved networks worked!! wifi back on
[Legend General] Rapier:
Indeed it works...but only for the first time. As soon as you disable WiFi and enable it once again, the problem is back. So you will have to delete the saved networks one by one, each time you want to connect and in the end you will have no more saved networks left (like me). Now the only "workaround" is to enter the network details every time I want to connect.
[Legend General] monsterstoffe:
Is there still ni working solution for this?
[Legend General] tymcat:
still no WLAN

Having to choose the lesser evil between:

no GPS under CM 7.1 or

no WLAN under CM 7.0.3 I chose the latter.

The antenna works, tethering too, the signal is detected, but logging into a WLAN fails, it keeps scanning over and over. Deleting other networks didn't work.

Any hint?

BTW, I tried 7.2 nightlies... since Market (aka g-Play) is missing there is no real use so far.

Apart from that - CM rules!
[Legend General] bibzor:
I am using both of them right now and it is okay.

Sometimes I won't get any GPS fix and I have to switch it off and on again (or restart the phone in the worst case) to have signal.

CM 7.1 with latest radio (7.13.35.13).
[Legend General] ICavalera:
Using cm7.2 last nightly and every thing works just fine! Give it a try!
[Legend General] jonse01:
Don't know if this will help, but I had wifi issues and GPS issues, but flashed new radio

7.08.35.21 and flashed CM7.2.0 RC1 (KANG) unofficial ROM and everything has been sweet since. GPS quick to lock and no wifi issues at all....

give it a try
[Legend General] bibzor:
The radio should be the difference here as it seems that CM > 7.1 don't have GPS bugs anymore.
[Legend General] ljason1:
Update your radio version to newest (7.13.35.13). Everything work fine in CM7.2 for me.
[Legend General] xethcore:
I know it s been a bit but thanks for the info helped alot deleting the random networks while out and about after deleting 3 wifi runs great
[Legend General] mister_president:
i noticed that the wifi signal in CM7 is weaker than the stock froyo , is there any idea 'why' ?! and is it possible to fix that i meat to increase the signal, at home i use wifi router and when i'm 4-5 m off distance the signal is very weak
[HTC Inspire 4G] s1ickwi11y:
I've reviewed the threads (many very old) on here and none seem to really address my concern, so here goes...

I have a 32GB Patriot Class 10 card for my Inspire 4G smartphone. I'm running Revolution HD rom and the rom's rock solid...great performance, battery life, etc.

For some damn reason, I cannot figure out why I'm getting errors from Android (Froyo) telling me that the SD card is damaged. It will prompt me to format and start over, each time basically causing me to reinstall apps and I'll lose pictures and video in the process each time this happens.

When it happens:

Windows 7 will not allow access to the card (only option is format) and Android device cannot (or will not) mount the card. Unless I format that is.

I've tried formatting via Windows as well as via Android but this seems to happen to me every 1-2 days now. It's getting really old and I'm about fed up with it.

I don't know if it's something to do with the rom I'm using, or if it's the micro SD card itself...or if it's (uh oh) the card reader port built into the Inspire 4G. Who knows. Maybe it's how class 10 works for all I know. It's really lame.

It might even somehow be the fact that I was running apps from the SD card. I don't know if this relates, but I've forced non-movable apps to the SD card sometimes via Titanium Backup as well. Maybe that plays a role in this.

I'm at my wit's end and don't know what else to do. Appreciate any feedback!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Cannibul:
Did you get this card from eBay?
[HTC Inspire 4G] kgeissler:
After you put the card in your Windows machine, when you are done, do you right click on the drive and hit "eject" or do you just pull it out?
[HTC Inspire 4G] blackviper71:
Try the stock 8gb card for a day and see if you get any errors. I'm betting your 32gb card has the issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] s1ickwi11y:
Hey fellas.

Just realized that I wasn't necessarily using the most current version of Revolution rom. I had beta 2 HD, which may have been some time ago. I re-flashed with the one released yesterday (v3.2) and re-formatted the card as well.

So far so good, so we'll see how it goes on my 32GB Patriot Class 10. Card was purchased at Fry's Electronics in Wilsonville, OR.

Also, I always "eject" the card from Windows and also "unmount" in Android before removing the card. Always!~ :)

Working here
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] doomed151:
Fix your grammar. I felt like punching through the monitor while reading the list.

"apps" is plural.

"app" is singular.

Use "app" if you're referring to a single app.

eg. "This is an excellent app."

Use "apps" if referring to multiple apps.

eg. "Here is a list of apps."
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] melvinchng:
THanks for correcting my mistake. Will correct it by this week.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] pedrobulgaria:
Nice work melvinchng.

The link for GTunes dont work.​

[G Tablet General] yamaha83:
i love ubuntu on my laptop but cant play with it much cuz im in photoshop most the time so am mostly in windows. i was wondering how it was on the gtab? and how to apps work with it? i assume no android market? can anyone give me some pros and cons? and how does it work with the touch screen?
[G Tablet General] NMCBR600:
Following work done on the vega, I've gotten ubuntu 11.04 running. You have to use the 2.6.32 kernel and touchscreen works. I'm trying to sort out why wireless and sound do not work. The vega folks have made much more headway at this time but they have several linux distros running on the tab.
[G Tablet General] flyingspatula:
it sounds very promising, but until the wifi is working, i can't see this as a viable os. What do you think? The lack of connectivity makes the device a stand alone - right?
[G Tablet General] NMCBR600:
I have added the driver for a usb ethernet dongle and it works. As time allows, I'm trying to sort out the wireless issue.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Considering how useful ubuntu is, if you can get everything to work with ubuntu, I'm putting ubuntu on as soon as I get the gtab.
[G Tablet General] h3llphyre:
I'm not really sure what the point of putting Ubuntu on the GTab is. I suppose there are linux apps that just aren't available in Android, but most of those are the heavy hitting apps that you'd never want to run on the GTab anyway. just trying to figure out what the point is.
[G Tablet General] NMCBR600:
There are things you can do with a linux load that android cannot do. And being a risc processor, it can do more in less memory than on a x86 processor. I want to be able to run librioffice on the tab at meetings rather than having to depend on a wireless connection to the cloud.
[G Tablet General] h3llphyre:
Have you seen the "office" apps available in this forum, that came from the Notion Ink? You can do that with Android. That's kind of my point. The apps exist for the most part... Unless you want to run GIMP or some sort of CAD, which is silly to run on a tablet to start with *I* personally think.
[G Tablet General] Hellburger:
You could theoretically install Eclipse/Android SDK and develop on the tablet.
[G Tablet General] NMCBR600:
Support usb modem $ ethernet Android -No, Linux -yes

Support cut/past between pdf and odf docs -- Android No Linux -yes

Ability to use the same linux apps that are on my netbook -- Android -No

Faster program action in linux not inside the java VM in android.

And Google may have several legal issues about stripping out the GPL2 headers out of source code.

If you want android and it's apps, that's fine. There are those of us who want a full OS and apps on our tabs. We'll work to get what we want running the way we want. Try that with an Ipad.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Because some of us are considering using the gtab for work. I'm sure most people see it as a toy. I intend to use it for much more than a toy. A full os like ubuntu will get the job done.
[G Tablet General] doihaveto:
unfortunately not a full OS

Look I want Ubuntu as much as anyone and I am starting my own business in Photography so another one for the work aspect...

However, it will be limited and not a full OS at least IMO until Ubuntu on the Gtablet can:

run wine (optional but not necessary) may not even work at all since wine is for windows programs and gtab is arm processor

have Flash for video and the web (would this idea have a chance at working http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=994433)

able to connect--read and hopefully write to CD/DVD (obviously drivers needed)

there are other limitations that we will discover too I am sure but without at least the last two from above, Ubuntu on the Gtablet will not be a full OS, a darn handy mobile one but not a full one IMO!

thanks NMCBR600 for your work on this and jersacct whos version (no touch screen has wireless) I am currently using.

I am greatly hoping NMCBR600 gets wireless going on his so I can get touch going on my tablet. Sorry that I may have ideas of my own and love what the Devs come up with here but I am helpless to do any of this myself because I am not that advanced, wish I was, I wish I was.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Actually, I can live without wine. I've never had to use it.

No problem, me thinks.

USB to external drive.
[G Tablet General] doihaveto:
true about usb external drive but in my photography business I plan to be giving customers who pay for the option a cd/dvd with everything they order on it and so hence the cd/dvd function

and the flash part is there any dev who may happen to read this thread have any ideas to get flash working on arm ubuntu

thanks
[G Tablet General] h3llphyre:
This is actually something that I would want (Eclipse), so touche.
[G Tablet General] h3llphyre:
This actually just opened my eyes to a new potential... VMWare has already shown VM's running on Android. Running a Linux VM from within Android would be utterly awesome.

wine will probably never make it to Android, because of the processor architecture issue... well, at least until vendors start shipping x86 tablets that run on recent Android versions (Wind River is working on it)
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
But we're talking about a tablet. They have to keep the thickness around half an inch. So, I suspect that no tablet will ever have an internal cd/dvd drive. Just get an external one and carry that around. DVDs are cheaper than dirt these days anyway.
[G Tablet General] doihaveto:
that us what I mean I have an external usb dvdrw drive but ubuntu on the gtablet will not mount anything off of it in other words it will not read/write off of the usb external drive

I can only hope that support will be able to be added with proper drivers unfortunately I don't know how that works so it won't be coming from me.
[G Tablet General] NMCBR600:
With the iso support compiled for the kernel, a linux load will see a cd/dvd. It may need external power as the tab may not provide enough through the usb port.
[G Tablet General] ChibiPa:
i have to concur

While android is a great tool for social apps, email, light webbrowsing. It fails at something as simple as copying an address from a website to spread sheet. The programs for linux are far more robust. Actually where is android gimp? The touch screen does not work as a mouse. And the key board is missing things as simple as ctrl left tohighlight
[G Tablet General] case-sensitive:
I just plugged in my LiteON portable dvd r/w drive, and it

spins just fine, but gtab does not recognize it under vegan 5.1.1 or ubuntu 9.04 (/etc/fstab is empty).

So the issue is definitely driver and not power. The question is whether or not it suffices to compile support just for the (linux), or do we have to twist the android framework as well.
[G Tablet General] NMCBR600:
If the kernel did not have iso support compiled in, the drive will not be seen or mounted. I don't have the early version of 9.04 on my tab as I'm working with the 11.04 images. I'll test it later as it's low on my list compaired to getting wireless sorted out.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetsaito:
Hello I recently got my refurbished Captivate from AT&T and it came running 2.1 Android. First thing I did with it was go and root it by downloading the update.zip to it, and that went all fine and well.

Next thing I did was get ROM Manager and installed Clockwork Recovery Mod, then went ahead and made a backup of my ROM. So from here I was getting ready to get myself ready for Cyanogen Mod 7, and grabbed the Clockwork Mod version with speedmod and installed that through the Clockwork Recovery.

After I did this the boot screen changed on my phone and would lock up at the Galaxy S SGH-1897 Samsung screen, which had replaced the 3g one by AT&T. The phone will just hang at this bootscreen for infinite amount of time, any suggestions on how to help?

I'd like to point out that I currently have no USB cable for this phone, I did not receive a micro USB with it as it is a refurbished product and do not happen to have any laying around. I do however have a micro SD card, in which Clockwork doesn't seem to support this.

I come to you asking for help to resolve said issue, I can no longer use my phone as a result. I've tried restoring my backup but the same replaced boot logo appears and refuses to actually start up the phone.

The 3 zips that I can access on the internal SD are

-the root.zip

-clockworkmod

-clockworkmod with SpeedMod

Any ideas?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
First of all, you will definitely need a micro USB cable. You need to flash back to stock at the moment. Don't worry though, if it's still showing the boot screen your phone "should" be fine.

Second of all, for CM7 you need to follow the EXACT instructions to install CM7 (you can risk bricking your phone with CM7, unlike any other usual ROMs). Do you know, and understand all of the steps involved?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Sorry, but what were you doing? You need odin to install cm7 & without a cord you were never going to succeed.

As mentioned above you need a cord, and need to reread the instructions

[HTC Incredible S] c33v33:
Are there multiple versions of the HTC Incredible S out?

I've been looking around at different online shops. Some show HSPA/WCDMA 900/2100 only. Others show 900/AWS/2100.

Which is true?
[HTC Incredible S] DuoM:
900/AWS/2100 is true.

Not only can you see it in some unboxing videos but I've been to Carphone Warehouse and looked at the box myself.
[Nook Color General] doncaruana:
Does everyone realize that on a stock rooted nook, if you swipe right to left on the status bar on the bottom, it's a 'back' button? I don't get why soft keys is necessary. I shut it down on both my nooks and have never once needed it. Just extra overhead, to me...

Can someone educate me as to why this program is so 'important'?
[Nook Color General] timekeeper:
Full screen apps like angry birds? I also fail to see why this issue was so important to you that you had to make a thread about it. Softkeys is an optional app, you don't have to install it yourself.
[Nook Color General] ewong90:
I personally use Button Savior, less noticeable and easy to access.
[Nook Color General] ajaik:
Button Savior looks like much nicer than Soft Keys - what basic steps to remove Soft Keys and run Button Savior instead? Any gotchas? Im also using the Gingerbread keyboard and hope this change wont affect that?
[Nook Color General] doncaruana:
I can always use the home button (and then a task killer if needed) to get out of the few full screen apps that won't let me back out.

But softkeys is part of the autonooter package, which a lot of people use - I didn't specifically install it. I haven't used the other 'packages' - not sure if it's included there as well. It's positioned as a "must have", but doesn't really seem to be. So someone thought it was important enough to include there and so I wanted to know why.

Gee. I'm sorry. I guess I'm not allowed to ask questions? Should I ask you if you deem an issue important first before I ask a question in the future?

Here's my next question - let me know if it's important enough: Why did you have to be an ass about my previous question?
[Nook Color General] rahlquist:
No offense timekeeper but I was wondering the same thing, so I found this helpful.
[Nook Color General] exparrot:
It's not just the back key that's important.

Most apps have additional functionality that you can only access via the 'menu' key.

That's the one I find most needed.
[Nook Color General] DougG_ATL:
Ditto. Soft Keys does a passable job, but the attractive design and customizability of Button Savior makes it a better choice.
[Nook Color General] Kayak83:
I wasn't a fan of the softkey button size and could never find a place on screen that i liked it. Button Savior is much better. Both add a huge amount of functionality to a rooted NC.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Except you don't see any silly on-screen buttons with SoftKeys if you set it up properly.. Then you just press the N key once or twice, depending upon config, to get the pop-up with back, menu, etc..

http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Default_Launcher

As for the Op saying "Can't I ask questions?" Sure you can, just don't act like a free piece of software which is VERY useful is somehow killing you . :rolleyes:
[Nook Color General] ewong90:
Just make sure you have USB debugging enabled. You don't have to uninstall softkeys, just disable it. Button Savior should run normally from startup and shouldn't affect anything else.
[Nook Color General] lopezpm:
I didn't know you could swipe to go back, so thanks for that.

There are some apps that run full screen and the status bar isn't visible which then you would need either soft keys or button savior.
[Nook Color General] ajaik:
I went ahead and uninstalled SoftKeys. Button Savior rocks.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starsgalore:
There were a couple of themes that i liked that were on the MyTouch 3G Slide. I got them from that specific forum, since themes.store.t-mobile.com doesn't work for me, even with wifi off and using stock browser, except MT4G got stuck on the boot screen and kept re-loading, i did a battery pull until i finally did a factory reset. Isn't there any way to be able to use those specific teams. Was there something wrong with the .apk? When i installed them there was no issue. Not until i "selected"one to use. Any ideas?:confused:
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clone132:
Themes are pretty phone specific. If you got it from the MT3G Slide forum then it will not work for the MT4G unless ported and stated that it would work for the MT4G.
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
Half a dozen or so threads/users have popped up regarding this:

Do not attempt to clear/erase partitions in fastboot.

The streak has issues with the fastboot program and will throw an error if you attempt to do so. If it throws an error it will likely lock up and on attempt to restart it will fail to do so. If it does you've likely ended up bricking it.

Most of the reports also end with it not being detected in QDL tool at all. (Black screen, leds dont light, no detection of ANY device when attached to pc)

While QDL tool MIGHT be able to save some or even all of them, it's far more difficult than bricking in other ways. Do yourself a favor and avoid bricking this way at all costs.
[Streak 5 General] Krad:
agreed just stick to the following...

fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img - recovery

fastboot -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn - baseband

fastboot -i 0x413c flash dsp1 dsp1.mbn - modem?

fastboot -i 0x413c reboot -Reboot

very nice theme, only two comments.

1) when a google account is sync'd, the status icons go from white to blue (which kinda seems to throw off the overall feel of the theme), can this be changed so they stay white?

2) the only way I can see my lockscreen is to use the "Lense" lockscreen (sliding tab and both rotaries show nothing, they still work, just don't show anything)

example of blue icons:

I like this look...definitely gonna try this :)

My Hero is eating grape poptarts
[Android Themes] cjward23:
The lockscreen slider are supposed to be transparent to keep the theme as minimal as possible

And I agree with you about the icons not really fitting in with the theme it puts me of using it. Just need to ask the dev nicely and he might change them for us.
