Guest Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 All good so far in terms of speed. However - a couple of issues. Getting no data over GSM (no sign of H, G etc icons). Set network to T-Mob and chose T-Mob APN and rebooted without luck. "A network error has occurred" messages only :-( WiFi signal strength icon is also missing after initially being present. WiFi icon with cross through it shows despite the connection being there (I can browse). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blasphemous Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Any idea why signature isn't showing when sending email flibblesan? I've just loaded R8 from Fixed R6. I had to re-enter my email settings (no biggy). Email works fine but I've tried to enter a signature (Sent from my Android), and press ok but it's not sending emails with the signature attached.

Guest Simon O Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 i did yep Ah you must have managed to download the rom the first time I uploaded it and realised I forgot to add the caller id fix. Download the rom again when I finish uploading, wipe and flash. It'll be fine then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Simon O Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 How do i upgrade from r6 to r8 and keep all my apps? Flash the ROM using recovery. It won't delete your apps All good so far in terms of speed. However - a couple of issues. Getting no data over GSM (no sign of H, G etc icons).

Email works fine but I've tried to enter a signature (Sent from my Android), and press ok but it's not sending emails with the signature attached. Just tested this and the signature was automatically inserted into the message. The email was sent fine :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest adamguest1985 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Firstly, thanks for this. Easily my fave 2.2 ROM. Few niggles I've noticed though... I cant change voicemail number in settings. I'm on O2 and it just says it's unable to change 443 to 901. Chnging the exposure doesn't seem to make a difference in the camera app. Haptic feedback doesn't work. SoundRecorder wants renaming to Sound Recorder. And the System tutorial in settings, about, doesn't do anything. Aside from those, all seems good to me at first glance. Aside from my wifi not synching mails and tweets in sleep mode, but it'll be a cold day in hell before that works on any ROM I guess. Keep up the good work. Thanks again.

Guest Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Did you wipe before installing? Yes I did. Was previously on JJ9. Wiped every cache and setting going and reformatted card. WiFi and icons worked perfectly until I switched off WiFi for the 1st time. Still no data and if I'm honest, very low signal strength where I usually get a good one.

Guest adamguest1985 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Ok guys, I'll work on these in the morning. Thanks pal. Will let you know if I spot anything else. Can I add apk files to the zip the same way I remove them before flashing? Always seems to mess up the rom. I must be doing something wrong.

Some files may have libs that need installing into /system/lib/ or they will crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Simon O Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 The system tutorial option relys on latinIMEtutorial.apk and the original Android keyboard. Apparently it's just a tutorial for the keyboard... Removed from most custom roms so.. it's gone. Haptic feedback works in the keryboard when you enable it but doesnt' appear to work system wide unless an application specifically enables it. Need to look at this more. losing mobile data when wifi off isn't something I can replicate myself. Check your APN settings and try selecting different APN then select the correct one after.

Guest Simon O Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 I've uploaded a fix for r8 which will remove the broken tutorial option from Settings, fix voicemail for O2 customers, rename Sound Recorder and fix ContactsProvider.apk for people who had the caller ID bug. As part of the fix it will remove the contacts database so you will need to sync your contacts again. In the morning I will upload r8a with these fixes already in place.

Flib, I'd just like to say a really big thank you for all your hard work making this the best ROM available. I have version 6 (fixed) installed and it has been rock solid with no problems whatsoever. It's so good, I've given the phone to my girlfriend to play with and she loves it. Once again mate, thanks very much. Bazza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest css771 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Hi flibble, the new GB theme fixed the contacts icons. Thanks for all your hard work on this. Just one thing.. Is there any way you can replace the auto-sync toggle with the data toggle on the power control widget as in R7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) losing mobile data when wifi off isn't something I can replicate myself. Check your APN settings and try selecting different APN then select the correct one after. Have checked APN. Added a custom one. Rebooted and returned to defaults - same issue. Switching to 2G networks only gives me a better signal but still no data. I'm in London so 3G isn't an issue where I am. Very odd. I've removed WiFi Status so now, with WiFi on, whilst it works, there is no indication it is on at all (No signal strength icon) Will try the 8a version later :-( Thanks for your efforts.

As part of the fix it will remove the contacts database so you will need to sync your contacts again. In the morning I will upload r8a with these fixes already in place.Just for your info flibblesan, I'm on O2 and my voicemail number is the correct one. I came from Fixed R6 to R8. On the 'Signature not showing in emails' issue I reported last night, it would seem the phone needed a reboot as the signature is now showing in emails! :P I'm not Android expert guys (I'm a Windows Mob convert), but I wonder if some of the issues 'might' be solved with a reboot? Just a suggestion. Cannot comment on battery life so far but love the Gingerbread 'Battery Circle' in Frankins Theme. Also, I'm a big T9 fan, this rom only includes the Gingerbread Keyboard. I've never used it before but having used my wife's iPhone I find it very similar to that. So far I must say it's winning me over from T9....... I NEVER thought I say that!!!!! So to recap, even though I'm on O2 I do not need any of the 'fixes' not sure why. Perhaps it's due to coming from 'FIXED R6'? Anyway, hope that helps some. As ever, Lovin your work flibblesan.

Guest mantokoski Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) Hey flibblesan, are you aware of this cosmetic glitch. When display is off and I turn it on, the app that was last used flashes quickly before the time and lockscreen comes on, or the screen flickers a bit if no app was previously used. Other Saunalahti Blade users have also reported this. It was in r6 and now in r8 (+r8fix). Is it possible to fix it. I already noticed new Full timestamps option in Messaging. Yay! But where is the setting for SMS center number? I still haven't found it. Edited February 6, 2011 by mantokoski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
