Guest womble_sanfran Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I flashed 10b y'day along with the Extra's and the GB Green Circle theme. Firstly, I'd like to say it is a very nice ROM. I'm sure alot of hard work must go into making these. Three things I've noticed if anyone has any comment: 1) Set the alarm this morning, but it didn't turn the phone on and go off. May be this is expected behaviour? Does setting the alarm meant to auto power on the phone, or do I have to leave it switched on for the Alarm to work? 2) There is no handset notification of any new Email/SMS/Calls when the phone is in sleep mode. Think I was used to my Experia X10 Mini flashing it's green light when I had a new notification. Is this expected behaviour for this ROM? 3) I received my first call on the phone just now, and I could hardly hear the caller with Volume on Max. I later did some tests and the handset is fine in 'speaker mode', fine when I plug headphones in, but the built-in Mic is always low level. It's possible my handset has a fault I'd not noticed before as only had it less than a week and I can't recall if I noticed this before. Although as the MIC works fine in Speaker Mode and also Rings fine etc... I'm not sure if it can be faulty? But has anyone else had problems with the Mic volume when making calls? (Not in Speaker mode) These arent ROM problems, they are standard phone problems. Have a search of the forums and you will see that those issues are not ROM specific. What phone did you have before, could you turn your old phone off and then it would turn itself on when it sounded your alarm? I use a mains powered alarm clock I got from argos for £5 and when I turn that off it doesnt wake me up so why would a phone be any different?

I turn off the phone with the alarm set and it would turn itself on in the morning and sound the alarm. Nokia 2323, its not a smart phone model.

Just got used to it I guess. Not sure about your alarm clock from Argos. Has it got a battery backup may be? ;-| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nyberg Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I think if you install the Dialer One app, when you next go to use the dialer it'll ask you which one you want to use as default & tie it to the shortcut key. Cheers, Paul Thank you for replying! This was my thoughts to and how it's been working with other releases. however this is not the case with this release. It still uses the stock dialer with the phone even if there is more options available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rascas Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I am suffering the battery drain problem, it seems as if installing a theme starts it. I reinstalled R10b with extras and battery seems ok. Is this possible? I thought the themes just changed graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my "very old" Alcatel and "old" Sony Ericsson phones K510i/K750i/T303 alarms worked when set and switched off. They all woke me up when switched off HOWEVER the new age of smart phones is with us and they are not smart enough to work out that you want waking when you have switched it off. Perhaps it should be called the "sulk" mode when it doesn't talk to you. I also found out the hard way but it it the same with all the ones I know (smart phones) as I have found out when sleeping in ONCE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works ok for me, got the sound notification and also the led is flashing. You have to set this in "Notifications" though - set it to do what you want it to do.

Guest tyrol_gangster Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 1. Sometimes the connection to the phone company completely drops (3G and 2G). So you cannot make calls anymore. Seriously, can flibblesan or someone please look into this with high priority, this is a major setback although probably not FLB ROM-specific.

Don't see any option for Flashing Lights in the Message Notificaton options, so have to search for how to do that. Also I solved my Low Earpiece volume problem, there was still a bit of plastic over it LOL! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rak007 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I downloaded the latest r10b ROM and searched the system/app folder. There are few apps which i dont want to install as i never use them. Is is safe to remove these APKs from this ROM and then flash the ROM ?? Following APKs are the ones which i dont require Gmail.apk Voicesearch.apk mms.apk youtube.apk Carhomegoogle.apk carhomelauncher.apk Barcode scanner.apk Soundrecorder.apk Notespad.apk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cmberry20 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 anyone else getting a reboot issue?

Guest crumplycord Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Running very smooth on my device uptime now on 10b of 180hours battery life great only issue I have is that the screen will not auomatically turn off, ie if im using it then put it down the phone just stays as is until I hit the power button. This proves rather annoying for situations such as checking time or recieving a text message as my phone can go for long periods of time with the screen on without me knowing wasting battery. I have checked the seetings and the screen should turn off after 30secs I have also tried setting to 1minute and still the same issue. anyone else noticed this or got a solution?

Guest mirko2002 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Hey Community, i have a problem with all versions of this ROM... its negligible which version i tried.. i started this rom with version 7 and tried now all new versions till v10 but still the same problem: Everything works fine - just MMS doesn't work. I come from Germany and my provider is E-Plus. All Internet settings and all MMS settings are correct. Internet works fine... but if i recieve a MMS the mobile phone isn't able to download the attachment... also if i try to send a MMS its not able to get a connection... but i don't know why. Everything seems correct. Same settings on mobile phones with original roms working great... but on this phone i give up. I have no idea why this doesn't work. is anyone there and can help me in this situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sharix Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) Thats very weird From today I can't receive any sms. I can still send them and they are delivered. I went to check APN settings and I found I can't edit them anymore. What is happening? edit: I wiped data and I received all sms that were missing before. I hope it's fixed now.

Guest LordKickapoo Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Hi! I have a small question. In about phone and in there battery use, you should see what apps are using battery as percent, right? At the moment i only have android system there, i used to have also cell standby, but now only android system. So to the question. Shoul battery use also show apps like browser and angry birds and system apps like wifi?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had this constant boot animation when updating from 9 to 10 and had to use clockwork to format my system partition and then restored my system partition from a back up and all was fine then.

Guest requies Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 All I know is I had hanging in all roms for months and buying it fixed it. :( There's also a whole thread about it in the main forum (rather than this rom sub-forum). It's worth it anyway for the speed up and auto restoring of apps. Manually restoring all those apps is a pain!! The only way I know of is to theme it with a theme from before Frankish added the widget to all the FLB themes. I kept the theme I use for future use just in case. :( It's gingerbread green battery circle. If you want it I can upload it somewhere. It's the only theme I have so it's no good if you wanted another or no theme. I tried mybackup root, the same thing, As i said before on cm7 i do not have this problem i got 60 hours with it, data - gps enabled all the time, some wifi and a few calls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flangebasket Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I ended up pulling the battery, then booting into clockwork and restoring from the backup i made before flashing. so at least the phone is ok :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tamper Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 When I was using 9b I posted about the problems with stuttering audio when streaming over Bluetooth. I'm glad that with 10b the problem is much improved. There's still an occasional stutter/dropout (I'd estimate about once every couple of minutes) which you might want to take a look at for the next revision, but overall it's much better!

Guest danmanbad Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 been using r10 for a few days and seemed fine, but last night when going to bed i had 56% battery, but run flat during night (within 8 hours) with everything turned off resulting in my alarm not going off and being late for work!!! anyone else have similar issues? also when using google nav i've noticed that, if wifi is on and you enable gps, it loses the wifi connection. look here http://android.modaco.com/content-page/323...rotip/page/100/ 12 or 13 posts down the page post #113 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GreenTurbo Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Super ROM, great work in creating a ROM which transforms the phone into a really powerful handset. As another 2 posters have already commented I too am finding that running OpenVPN from the terminal crashes the handset. Anyone had any luck with OpenVPN on this ROM version 10b?
