Hm.

I'am using RC2 and kernel patch from 2nd post.

Someone confirm me?

This night I lost 9% in ca. 6 hours, without the tweaked boot.img

At some people it does, some people solve it by trying the Dewonkificator or the On End Call. You can call a free number or your voice mail to test, no need to pay. And with End button behavior set to end the call in Settings-Accesibility, you can hang up it the screen refuses to wake up immediately.

Anyway, tried 11 hours airplane mode without SD card as it could have been a possible cause, did not solve anything, 1,5% per hour battery drain still there. I deleted the akmd2 and the sensor libs now to test for another 12 hours. Next step I think is to delete the RIL and test :(

Sometimes ... covering the proximity sensor & uncovering it again a few times usually seems to bring it back on.

I think we have found a fix though, just last night, by accident. I only tested it on a short call to check my credit, but the proximity sensor worked 100% as it should to turn the screen on when its not near your ear & off again when it's at your ear, i tried it a few times, i was shocked.

no idea if that is fixed or not, i don't have one. if you want to get it fixed, then you'd better install rc2 try it out & post a logcat to the cyanogen bug tracker if it still doesn't work. you might be one of the only people using a dual sim adaptor with cm7, so you'll have to do your bit to see it get fixed.

at least we've found a fix for the screen not coming back on as it should during & after calls, it should be officially fixed soon i think.

[Guest ufoman]

I've found another little typo, now in /init.blade.rc:

There is a line which reads:

chmod 0770 /ddev/pm_monitor

in the 'Permissions for ril' section, while it obviously should be:

chmod 0770 /dev/pm_monitor

I doubt that is has anything to do with battery drain, but still... someone's keyboard was definitely flaky :(

Then it means that the modaco ROM showed H instead of 3G (UMTS 384 kbps). The modaco ROM was with the problem.

Well maybe i am wrong so i post screenshot. How can i get that speed on UMTS network? I think something wrong in CM7 for my sorrow. Or i still something don't understand(

You were right, the icon is false, it should be H. On all nightlies N14 inclusive I had H, can't test now on RC2 because I am doing some idle tests.

@ People still encountering proximity problems, you should try t0mm13b's kernel and tick "Always use proximity" in Settings-Call settings, it seems to be fixed!

[Guest Frankish]

Just for the record. I always have H symbol on all nightlies that i've tried so far. Occasionally switches to G but mostly H. So it does work.

So how can i deliver this information to developers? I'm afraid my ugly english will confuse them =[

What version of CM7 do you have? Did you restore system apps or settings with Titanium?

RC2 but i get this trouble on whole line from RC1 to Nightly12 (i dosn't try 14 and 15 nightly).

Did you restore system apps or settings with Titanium?

No i don't use Titanium backup at all.

I get exactly the same results as you, between nightly 6 & 13 & your english seems fine, they should understand with those screenshots.

I'm on Orange UK, connection is displayed as 3g / umts, speed is around 2mbit down, 384k up.

Then it seems that CM7 shows for some networks 3G, although it's HSDPA, that's why some users report seeing H. I think you could open an issue, but it's just an icon problem, would not bother me too much as the speed is definitely HSDPA!

[Guest wbaw]

Yeah, the speed is the same as I ever got, it seems to be just a small cosmetic bug, it might be different for people using different networks.

[Guest Frankish]

Yeah it's ok on T-Mobile and Giffgaff for me. Just tested both.

Hi, I'm just about to install RC2. I just wanted to know if I unzip this ROM could I add google apps (from FLB-Froyo) ie Maps, Market, Gmail, Facebook & Youtube to the app folder? As I don't like using the set up wizzard!!

Thanx

I don't know... but the gapps installer isn't part of the setup wizard - it's a seperate app where you just tick or untick things you want. Also it includes behind the scenes stuff you need like google services framework so I think you need it.

[Guest Qwertzycoatl]

Certainly looks like it works really well....wasn't the issue more to do with 2minute+ calls though?

I'll test this tonight I think :( only thing keeping me from CM7 was the proximity issue :(

Thanks for sharing that :)

Affirmative.

Just a shot in the dark - can this be related to the theme in use, or do all themes provide the H ?

[Guest darryd]

it works even longer than 2 mins...:(
