Guest Cow_007 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Ugh, found a nasty bug. None of my alarms worked this working :P they simply didn't fire off. Interestingly, the lockscreen still shows "Tue 7:50 am" for the next alarm, and we're past that since a few hours... using any taskkillers to kill the clock? you shouldnt.. volume of alarm set to zero? worked fine here this morning.

Guest Simon O Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Usually it'll be something else causing the alarm not to go off or even killing the process. Our phones have sufficient memory not to kill system apps (which was always a problem on the Pulse). BTW a change of subject for users using the pattern lock screen. I've uploaded a small patch to the first page which replaces android.policy.jar with a version containing the correct string pointer for the pattern lock screen. Now it will correctly say "Draw pattern to unlock" instead of that long sim subset error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Simon O Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 I haven't tried Tank Hero, but for me Air Traffic Lite closes (with no force close dialog box) after about 15 seconds of play, on R8a. Air control lite has always crashed for me since they released version 2 and I've seen many reports from other device users with the same problems. Upsetting really.

Guest Sborovm Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Maybe one noob question regarding upgrading the rom via Clockwork. Is it necessary to remove battery every time I want to enter the Clockworkmod? I think that there is no meaningful reason to do that. I can enter Clockwork also without removing the battery. Is there any reason to do it this way? I am wondering about the telephone back cover how log it will last when I will be replacing it often :P I want to thank you Flib for such a hard work and great support for your ROM. Hold on!

Guest punkmilitia Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 bit offtopic but as a thank you for using your roms I thoughtI should use your giffgaff referal and order a sim, think unlimited internet sounds quite nice & we both get £5 free :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rutteger Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Thinking of upgrade can anyone comment on the following: 1. Is everyone having the needing to show SSID problem to get WiFi working? 2. Is everyone having the low signal strength problem (I already have lowish signal strength is places as it is)? 3. Does everything seem to be working on O2 (Voicemail/SMS etc) TIA On r8a O2 contract 1. Can't comment 2. Yes 3. Yes. - SMS worked without doing anything - Voicemail had to set the number in settings (901) - For MMS had to set the following APNs and remove the other defaults (giffgaff etc). - O2 UK (without MMS in APN type) (selected) - O2 MMS Postpay - Also set client to iphone3 in Messaging settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrNike Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) Anyone knows how i can remove the giffgaff app ? When i look in 'Applications' the uninstall button is greyed out. And thanks for this great release !!! Greetings, MrNike EDIT: rootuninstaller did the trick :P Edited February 8, 2011 by MrNike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KTamas Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Unless it happens to everyone then it's not a nasty bug. Just something on your phone that has prevented the alarm from running. Did you install the rom as an upgrade from an earlier version or another ROM? Did you restore any settings using titanium backup? Do you use task killers? It'll be easier if we know the situation No, I've installed the ROM as a new one, came from JJ7. Wiped before using it. I don't use titanium backup. I occasionally use task killers but i don't remember using it yesterday (but maybe I did). I'll make sure not to use one today and see if it happens again.

Guest Spies Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) @flibblesan May I suggest that you replace the stock battery icon for something more useful, it will save having to run a separate program in notification area.

Thanks for that - it's sorted - though the update is called index.zip rather than the expected patterlock_fix BTW a change of subject :P I haven't had any more drops of the data connection yet.

It'll be easier if we know the situation I tested at my phone and there is no alarm yet :-( I am on holiday so i dont need the alatrm yet, but i use it very often. I use r8a with GB Theme updated from r6a. No taskkiller running. I cant change the ringtone. Maybe thats the same problem. it is set to alarm_classic yet. I retried that about 10 times and yet it rings... starnge... Edited February 8, 2011 by wishmasterf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
