Guest Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) So, USB tethering was moved to enhancements. Does CM7 lack USB tethering in general or is this a Blade specific issue? This is the reason I haven't updated to CM7 yet, I was waiting for it to be finished since it was marked "started" a long time ago. I think USB Tethering is a kernel issue I am sure the Devs will get it sorted soon If you want the option to tether,just buy a wifi dongle to share your blades internet with your computer Edited March 31, 2011 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nick Rhodes Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 If I use RC4 do I still need to add the kernel for better battery usage? I was wondering that as well I've gone from N25 to RC4 and battery life still the same, no where near as good as the 2.2. roms (but not as bad as some of the poorer nightlys). Cheers, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the reason I haven't updated to CM7 yet, I was waiting for it to be finished since it was marked "started" a long time ago. all the USB issues relate to the 2.6.32 kernel we are using for the blade, the decision was made to get the blade release stable first, and then look at kernel updating and porting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest k0nrad Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) p/s: if this matter, i only use my phone to surf net in that 2 hours time. If you're net surfing, then I presume the screen is on, just as the 3G radio is... Constant net surfing always caused battery drain, in every single release, RC4 isn't an exeption.

Guest t.michel Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Just installed RC4 with full wipe. I cannot connect to Wifi anymore - the device is not getticng an IP address. The dhcp server shows the request, offer and ack, but the blade is stuck in requesting ip address. Worked perfectly on N32 with the wifi update reverting to the old module. Anyone else seen that?

I'm just pointing out that it's nothing unusual for CM7 in general, and is not RC4-specific. Edited March 31, 2011 by k0nrad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AsusFreak Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) Is it just me having problems with the Mute button in the dialer?

Guest tomc123 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Hi everyone ! When flashing a ROM should i wipe the battery stats before or after flashing the ROM ? Also should the install be done on a full charge or 0% ??? The reason i asked is iv never had a decent battery life on FLB, CM7 or Swedish... except one time on flb. Thanks Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will do a clean install of N32 plus wifi fix now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest elastico Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) What video player do you guys use with this ROM? I used RockPlayer with the Jellyfish ROM but now with the CM7 that one only plays sound (the screen is black). I also tried VPlayer with no success. (I should perhaps mention that the stock Android player works fine but it’s useless) Edited March 31, 2011 by elastico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest targetbsp Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 The battery drain is kinda non-linear. 100-90 seems to happen more or less instantly. 40 to 0 takes forever. A drop to 65% from 2 hours of continuous use sounds alright to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sandriderman Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Hi First of all thank you to all the people who made this possible and to all the positive contributors to this forum. I have been running CM since RC1 and have tried many nightly builds. Tonight I plan to move to the latest RC and plan to not only do the usual wipe, I will format my SD card and completely start from fresh. What are people doing about moving apps to the SD card now? On earlier builds I was using dtapps2sd, which was installed from the recovery menu. This seamed to work well. More recently I have been using the free version of App 2 SD which is simple to use. I have never managed to get s2ext to work (which is why I previously used dtapps2sd). Which is the best way, which makes the phone run most efficiently? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sydeu Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) just wiped and installed rc4, wifi seems to work as before for me, surfing and that stuff works. BUT youtube still can only watch like 1 min 20 seconds of a video then it says no network connection press again if you want to retry and then it starts from the beginning and this time often can only come maybe 40 seconds. I really have no idea what's up with this? can anyone else try this with wifi and see if they have any similar problems? watching full videos (15+ mins) is no problem with 3g. Unfortunately this thing with youtube is a HUGE issue for me so gets a little hard for me using the rom with this problem. Otherwise such a great ROM, big thanks to the devs! Edit: at first it buffers normally and the red line being a little in front of the place where i am, then all of sudden the whole line gets red and a few secons after that the video says i have no network connection.
