@varoon, @angenit ...


Please check and confirm the status of the following findings on your respective devices ...


1. Keyboard characters messed up
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!

2. SWAP SUPPORT NOT ON KERNEL, please install swapper 2 and try enabling it on your devices.
- INCORPORATED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!

3. Confirm if HOTSPOT(tethering) feature is missing from your settings.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!

4. Choose 'external' from 'cyanogen mod settings - application - install location' install a couple of test apps from the market and check if they are installed on the external card.
- UNTESTED (I HAVE DARKTREMORS A2SD SO I CAN'T CONFIRM) !!!!!!!

4a. A2SD SUPPORT ON KERNEL EXPECTED.
- INCORPORATED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!

5. On screen keyboard not launching when phone rotated sideways.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!

6. Selected input launguages not toggling when globe key pressed on physical keyboard.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!

6(a). The keyboard is back in action, however it needs some further tweaks, The virtual keyboard has to be switched off when in the right-side-up position as it is redundant in the presence of the physical keyboard.
Also while in the landscape position the virtual keyboard takes up the entire screen space leaving only 1-2 lines visible for input space, very problematic when trying to drag the cursor guide(which keeps jumping to the beginning of the text field) to the right place in the passage while editing.

Tweaks : The virtual keyboard should not exceed more than 50% of the screen and needs to have better cursor guide control
- BUG IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!

7. SIM card contents like contacts and SMS'es are not getting populated(viewable) in phone book and messages. The setting for USIM is missing from contacts display setting.
- YET TO BE FIXED !!!!!!!

8. The speaker phone volume while on a call is very low, using the volume button increases the in-call volume and has no effect on the speaker phone volume,
. The sound settings however are maxed out for ringtone, ringer, media and alarm volumes.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!

9. In the 'battery use' section of settings the % and the progress bars are not matching, the bar stands at zero for all the categories.
- YET TO BE FIXED !!!!!!!

10. When you turn off the android keyboard in settings, the settings are forcely closed and when you try to go to "phone state" it closes... after when you reboot the keyboard is turned on again.
- YET TO BE FIXED !!!!!!!

11. Video Recording is also not working in the latest build.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!

12. Since Build 15, the camera is not working, the moment the camera is run the screen starts blinking/flickering rapidly with "ANDROID_" showing on the screen, this state cannot be exited the phone needs to be rebooted to get out of this flicker'y loop.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!

13. Since after builds 11 and 12 the overall performance of the animations or screen responsiveness has deteriorated with build 15 noticeably laggy or slow.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!

14. Also the physical keyboard response is choppy i'e, the instant a key is pressed, the letters display a split second later on the screen. So when one is typing a little fast, you see the letters on the screen not keeping up with the speed of key-presses. (PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS CHOPPINESS IS ONLY WHEN ONE IS USING THE PHYSICAL KEYBOARD !!! the android onscreen keyboard as a normal steady keypress response)
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!

15. Wifi HotSpot connecting but internet not browsable !!! - since build 34
- TO BE FIXED !!!!!!!


Thnx,

1.- Yes, I also have the interchanged keys, the same ones.

2.- Not successful

3.- Now with build 6 I have tethering and hotspot and they work. When I used 5 it wasn't available.

4.- Well I think some of them are in the SD, but Gmail was in internal memory (I moved it with force2sd)

5.- No keyboard when rotating screen.

6.- No changes with language globe or mail and calendar keys.

7.- I couldn't say that because I don't save information in the SimCard, just Google and PC :S

8.- Yes, totally true what you state.

9.- My mistake, bars are in 0! but numbers are working fine.

If you find anymore just tell me.

Thanks Angenit,

BUT LET US KEEP THE POST SHORTER - please avoid using quotes for the entire posts.

No. 4 - Can you test a few more apps installation to confirm if this is totally fixed in your build ?
No 3 - Wifi Hotspots seems to have been fixed - Can you test it extensively ?
No 9 - seems to have been fixed in your build.

@ Angenit
Can you please test your build as my build is the 5th one.

@ Ricardo - If you are watching this thread !
@ others/anyone
Is there a way we can update to the latest build(daily) without having to replace it each and every time ? This way i hope to retain the apps already installed from build to build and save the trouble of installing 40 odd apps daily.

help is much appreciated !!!

thnx.

If you use Rom Manager and don't check nothing but Dalvik wipe (which is checked by default) you will keep your apps. I updated two times and I haven't lost any app.

4.- Yep I receive a warning from appmonster telling me I can move it, but when I go to check if that's true they are moved.

5.- Well I tested it for half an hour and it was successful.

6.- No wait, you're right, the numbers are fine (different values) but the bars are in 0.

Build 6 works fine and has the hotspot and tethering option fixed.

When you choose the build in the SD with Rom Manager you get 3 options. Leave them like the following:

*unchecked* Copy the Rom in use
*unchecked* Erase Data & Cache
*checked* Wipe Dalvik Cache

Hey! I've found another bug:

When you turn off the android keyboard in settings, the settings are forcely closed and when you try to go to "phone state" it closes... after when you reboot the keyboard is turned on again.

Skype was installed in the internal memory

Well I've installed build 9, and there's no fixing of any of the mentioned bugs... It's just like 8.


I'm particularly interested in swap and the keyboard! I don't like it shows it when have to type because the reason why I got this device was the physical keyboard.

Same here :)

On the keyboard issue, why don't you uncheck the android keyboard in the settings (you'll however get some errors - force closea) and you are good to go san the annoying keyboard.

Until the break and bug is fixed

New bug/break testing on build 9.......
others confirm if its pan your devices
as well before i add it to the main post.

When the Android Keyboard was unchecked
as reported earlier the settings need to be force-closed
a couple of times.

After disabling it i discovered the following...

When 'Compose New message(SMS) is opened, the physical keyboard does not
work on it. I need to re-enable the Android Keyboard in the settings to be able
to type into the Phone messaging(SMS) then the physical keyboard works on it.

waiting for confirmation across all modded devices.

cheers.

I have same problem as Aiamuzz described,there`s no way to type after disabling android kb.
Does anyone have a problem with sending mms?I was sending mms earlier,with this build (9) i cant,everything with settings for network operator is ok.
PS:I still have a problem with characters,can it be because i flashed phone with other version of fw,V10H_00?
Offtopic:where can i dl latest fw for Eastern Europe,in kdz format?
(I have V10H_00 and V10D_00)

    QUESTION :

    Hello Ciwrl,

    You are a moderator, so I presume you'll be able to answer my question on 'Nightly Builds'

    1. How are nightly builds baked on a daily basis ?

    2. The rational behind not submitting bugs found on nightly builds ? Isn't it good to report bugs while a project is in its beta(in this case nightly) stage. Won't that assist the devs to bring out a highly stable Alpha build ?

    thnx,



    -------Sent from my LG-Optimus Pro - C660 (on CM7 - nightly build xx )-------


    REPLY :

    ciwrl, on 23 January 2012 - 08:52 PM, said:
    1) The nightly builds are created by a series of buildservers that we have; these are automated builds that 'make clobber' then build for each device. No dev involvement, beyond checking in code to the mainline tree.

    2) The rational exists in 3 fold:
    a ) The builds are merely a 'does it build' test for daily code, they were never meant for daily usage
    b ) Any user found bugs in a nightly could very well already be fixed prior to the next nightly; this would just increase signal-to-noise ratio on the bug tracker
    c ) Though these builds are automated, and discouraged from daily usage, people still use them. Therefore, to alleve 'b )' and still make these builds a use to end users, the bug tracker only takes bugs for Official stable and release cadidate builds. The experimentation of the nightlies is up to the end user who chooses to flash them. To facilitate some discussion on them, and provide minimal user to user support, the nightly threads are created to combine feedback and provide a place of discussion for those who chose to flash them.

    As for Alpha's and bringing them up faster, 99% of the time, any bug found in a nightly is already known to the device maintainer; in addition, the 1% left out is caught during the release candidate phase.


    WELL !!!
    I GUESS A LOT OF QUESTIONS OF WHY THE BUGS / BREAKS CONTINUE FROM BUILD TO BUILD STAND ANSWERED AFTER THE ABOVE CLARIFICATION !!!

    Guys I think we will defer our testing to "RELEASE CANDIDATE BUILD" !!!

    UNTIL THEN LET'S JUST DIVE INTO THE DAILY 'N-BUILDS' JUST TO LEARN AND EXPERIMENT THE VARIOUS FEATURES THE CM OFFERS !!!
