Guest psivision Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) I've been using this ROM since it came out - updated by wipe and install - on my UK vodafone store unlocked g300 u8815. I'm really grateful for the efforts people have put in to create this - in effect you've saved me lots of money by not needing to get a nexus 4 after Vodafone/Huawei put out terrible software for the phone. In this 4.2.1 ROM I'm loving:Smooth interfaceReally nice swype-like keyboard - it works amazingly well!Totally no more problems with the browser .. no crashes like I used to get with previous ROMsIndicator LED seems to work - I've never learned the colorr codes but it signals when it needs attention like low battery, new email, etcPreviously I had problem with the gapps provided calendar and a version on the play store - needed to install the one from play store and disable the local one... not sure why... but not a problem anymorethe google cards thing is fun - and over time gets more accurate - great! not sure if google-now is the same or different. What isn't so great for me personally is:voice calls have extremely distorted sound - i have enabled "reduce noise" in the setting but to no effect, volume rocker appears to have no effect, neither does switching between normal and speakerphonebattery life seems definitely to be lower - not sure of its an aging battery or the ROM, I'm not doing anything different in terms of usage, not have any new apps, so comparison seems valid with only the ROM as changing parameterI'm noticing that the radio is behaving differently - on my daily commute I'm very used the good and bad spots for edge, 3g, hspa reception .. and this ROMS seems to have areas where there is now "no reception" .. this is reliable I would say.. I do the journey day after day and I know the patterns on the previous ROMS and other phones. I haven't tried the following which others seem to care about: [*]camera, google+ integration with immediate upload of photos [*]radio [*]wifi hotspot - previous ROMS didn't work, or worked with no security Just reporting this in case it helps ... but again - thanks for a great job! I know this appears as an OTA update from the 4.1.2 ROM - but I'd recommend a full wipe and install with new gapps as per the first post of this thread. Edited January 31, 2013 by psivision
Guest Dellboy2012 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 WiFi tethering works, I'm using it right now.
Guest gazsiazasz Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 WiFi tethering works, I'm using it right now. Any of my devices cannot see the "AndroidAP" SSID on WiFi, and on Bluetooth they can pair with my G300 but they cannot obtain IP address.
Guest andy/newbie Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 WiFi tethering works, I'm using it right now. mine dont work,from clean install,i wonder what that could be?

Guest PCTechRoss Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 I used to be able to boost the volume on this ROM the other day (play music) and MX player could go above 19-20 to like 20-28 anything I can do
Guest PCTechRoss Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 CAMERA > TAKE A PHOTO > GREEN SCREEN everyone knows this
Guest lexran Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 What is the recommended CWM version? Can't find it in the OP
Guest Dellboy2012 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 Sorry about that misleading. I used USB tehtering. PC-A => WiFi router => Phone WiFi => USB to PC-B works.
Guest melodystyle2003 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 I ve faced once everyday sim/phone error whilst phone network wasnt worked and could be corrected only with reboot. Does any one has same problem?
Guest melodystyle2003 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 What is the recommended CWM version? Can't find it in the OP I used the latest .27 i think.
Guest dalyer Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) WiFi tethering works, I'm using it right now. I presume you mean wifi hotspot? Did you do anything "special" to get it working? Sorry - just read your most recent post above and see that you were using USB tethering... For what it's worth I just played around with my wifi hotspot and no matter what I did (change SSID, try different security including open etc.) I could not see it from multiple devices (Android tablet, CM9 phone, XP laptop). I also tried InSSIDer (Wifi scanner for Windows) and nothing. And just to double check I configured the CM9 phone for wifi hotspot and could see that with all devices. Anyway just thought I'd mention my experiments in case they are of any use in terms of identifying the underlying problem... Not just to repeat that wifi hotspot seems to be a problem... :) Edited February 1, 2013 by dalyer

Guest Igoritza Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 Any news on the R2 ... ? Im impatient, I really believe that Dazz can make it almost perfect, being that R1 has small list of bugs
Guest Archer_cn Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 I read CM10.1 changelog they mentioned " add FM support in android" 30/1/2013,,, :D , I believe we'll have built-in FM app soon :wub:
Guest phyllocrania Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 Can anyone help me on how to make Temple Run 2 work without lags and glitches? Please. :(

Guest Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 I just realized that CM10 does not have phone enryption. Is that on purpose? Any alternatives?
Guest Bobyy-83 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 how can i fix the problem with 3g? it restarts every 1/2 hour , i disable the pin , but is not a solution for this

Guest popoyaya Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 I think the only bug that needs straightening out asap is in-call volume. The distortion makes it really hard to understand what the other person is saying, and it bloody hurts my ears!

Guest tiagomendes Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) Thanks for your work Edited February 1, 2013 by tiagomendes
Guest dalyer Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 how can i fix the problem with 3g? it restarts every 1/2 hour , i disable the pin , but is not a solution for this You mean the issue where the phone may crash/reboot when 3G is enabled? The only workardound that I know of for now is to toggle to 2G when putting the phone in sleep/screen off mode and back to 3G when you want to use it. Some people do this manually (including me right now). Others automate it with tools like Tasker, Llama, 2GToggle (?) etc. Others have claimed improvements with various other approachs - e.g. different RILs, tweaking certain options (e.g. ) but most of that is anecdotal and unconfirmed as a general fix. Hope this helps
