Applied t0mm13b's experimental kernel on top of N19 and this brought BT back.

use your headset. :D

problem solved.

Yes a solution but not ideal one.

I'm planning to upgrade to N19 once I get home today, but just want to check something first. When I upgraded from 2.1 to 2.2, I was able to restore my apps with Titanium Backup, is it possible to do the same here? (just apps, not system data as well) If this is not a good idea, is there any way to keep the saved data from the apps such as progress in Angry Birds etc?

Thanks

Wouldn't that have undone some/all of the fixes we wanted N19 for though? I guess it depends how important BT is to you vs the fixes.

It definitely will undo certain things, but as you say, for me BT is just too essential to live without it until fixed.

Anyone else having problems connecting their phone via USB to a PC?

This has worked fine previously (all drivers on the PC are installed) all through the ROMs I've used before, but I was just gonna squirt some files over (after installing N19) and the computer's not recognising the phone. Orange android showing on the phone as it should, indicating USB storage in use, but the computer won't play ball

Anyone else found this?

Mine USB did not work at first but now it does had to leave quite a long time for N19 to finish setup.

Just to point out in CM settings there is option for trackball wake which probly needs to change to menu wake for obvious reasons.

That will make the phone not sleep, thus power drain will be tremendous...

[Guest spvnexus]

Well I have finally taken the leap from jj to n19 and I'm very impressed with the speed and the feel of cm7. Even with the current bugs I would definitely recommended jj users to swap.

Smooth angry birds ftw :D

By TomG here, "A new kernel has been submitted to fix bluetooth". Seems nightly 20 will be an impressive one.

Do i need to do something special to get the proximity sensor to work? I have just installed N19 and it doesn´t work with even full wipe.

Anyone out there, lurking, in a position and willing to build a new kernel for us based on that latest fix ? :D

Mine is working with N19 but I have enabled Always use proximity and In-Call touch UI ( you can find them in call settings ). Made 3 calls so far no problem.

Yes. In fact, once you back them up, you don't even need Titanium. It just places the original apk files inside a gzip file. If you extract them with something like Winrar you can install the apk's using the file manager, without the need for Titanium, in CM7. So (to clarify) you can restore the apps, but you're potentially asking for problems if you restore their data too, so it'd be like the app was freshly installed.

is there any way to keep the saved data from the apps such as progress in Angry Birds etc?Thanks

In that case you could also try restoring the original user data directory Titanium backed up (which will be a seperate file from the apk). It may or may not work. Don't be surprised if it doesn't or causes weird issues. Just look inside the gzip file first and see what it's going to put on the phone. In a worst case scenario all you'd have to do is wipe that data back off the phone, either manually or using Titanium would probably work. Edited March 14, 2011 by Scoopading

Or nightly 21 :D It sometimes takes a few days for the changes to be included in a nightly..

[Guest marcodassi]

On nightly 19:

- GPS still broken (http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issue...il?id=2090#c144, see also my previous post #445 on page 23)

- BT does not work, if activated it will turn on for some seconds then turn off by itself

Back to N8 for now :D Keep up the real good work, tho :(

Note to anyone with GPS problems. Lately it seems like europe.pool.ntp.org has been having many server issues.. It seems it's down a lot and the phone cannot connect, which really screws up the ability of the phone to get an initial GPS lock quickly.

Check your log file for complaints about not being able to find the server, and try setting gps.conf to a different server if you can (uk.pool.ntp.org etc)

[Guest marcodassi]

Nope, I'm not using the AGPS functions.

In fact, with nightly 8, GPS function is back and everything is OK (on / off, fixing, etc)

Another test:

nightly 19 + t0mm13b experimental kernel update 2 (http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blade-roms-rom-customisation/334222/an-experimental-cm7-kernel/):

- Bluetooth is working

- GPS is working too !!! *** NO ***

staying on N19+t0mm13b kernel for now :D

EDIT: damn, talk too early... GPS is working, but if you turn it off then on, it doesn't work anymore !! :(

GPS working fine here on N19. I think you should wipe. Using t0mm13b's kernel also means bad battery life and broken apps2sd because it's based on the old CM kernel. But bluetooth will work :D

The AGPS function is using supl.google.com. Whereas *.pool.ntp.org is providing the time via an ntp time server. If it can't set the clock it seems to cause the phone real delays in getting an initial position.. All I know is europe.pool.ntp.org hasn't been accessible from the UK a lot lately, and that caused the phone to have real problems getting an initial GPS lock. Changed to uk.pool.ntp.org and.. boom.. everything was fine.

You should check the differences between your two gps.conf files, because it's the most likely reason there is a difference between one nightly and another, rather than there being a specific problem with that particular nightly..

However, as I've said, europe.pool.ntp.org also seems to be unreliable.. this may also explain why your GPS is working one minute and not the next.

[Guest marcodassi]

thank you Rotmann, in fact I was thinking about wiping everything... but, I don't understand why if I put the N8 (with cache + dalvik wipe only), the GPS is back... you think it's only a matter of wiping?

@Scoopading:

well, thanks for the info, but when the GPS was working (i.e., N8) I wasn't using any data service at all, nor Wi-Fi... and the GPS icon on the status bar was turning on/off according to the status of the module... that thing is not true anymore (from some nightly ago, can't remember when).

Later I'll try a total-nuclear-blade-wiping-and-reformatting :D Got some work to do now :(
