Disable Wifi.

Not all of the above steps may be necessary (usually ticking wifi off and back on works for me.)

This is a problem i've had as well, for pretty much any cm7 or miui build. But it doesn't seem like it happens to everyone. Is there something wrong with my phone or is this a common bug?

The wifi on off trick usually works for me too. I'm on 11.8 or whatever it is and glitch 12

Jmac I think you may be wrong on this one. My test:

1) Open browser, navigate to Cnn.com
2) Hit Home key
3) Perform "App Killer" function
4) Re-open browser

Cnn.com is still fully loaded after doing "App Killer." If the browser force closed then CNN would have disappeared.

To force close apps long press the Home key. When the Recent list of apps appears long press the app icon and it will take you to the force close screen.

I use it often. You can fool with another app (notes, maps) while talking. Or continue typing on your lappy while calling in to a meeting. :)

No probs. I actually think the force close method in MIUI takes too long (two longpresses + 1 more press to FC). I guess the idea is you're never supposed to force close anyway so can't complain too much!

Anybody else having a problem with GPS? I know the Fascinate is notorious for sucking at it, but after downloading the new update for Google Maps Navigation, I was selecting an address and my phone vibrated nonstop until I turned it off. Happened 5 times before I said screw it and uninstalled and reinstalled. It worked..but still got the errors I used to have. For instance, Navigation just randomly quitting and the keyboard popping up on the home screen. Is this a ROM error or the application error or both? It's annoying.

I just tested it and worked fine for me. Which kernel are you using?

Does anyone else have problems with battery life? More specifically it seems that "Android OS" uses a lot. This was also true with 1.10.28 but switching to glitch v12 helped a lot. I did the same with 1.11.4 but "Android OS" still used a lot when I checked battery use.

I just noticed that as well, but to be honest I never paid much attention before going to GB, I remember when I was on Froyo, the display took up majority of battery life.

Battery life has been better then froyo for me overall, but not exactly the best, but I do a lot of web surfing from my phone, which I know drains very fast.

smartass answer: sms stands for short message service..if its over 160 characters send it email...

actual answer: because some tweaking needs done to the system files to create an auto break between messages so they send properly.

either way, your message goes..dont sweat the small stuff :)

rock on!

I have been rather amazed at my recent experience. I have been running 1.11.4 and having "normal" issues with both battery life and GPS being rather poor. I decided to try JT's "3ButtonFix.zip" kernel (fascinate version!), and flashed it immediately after running latest version (3?) of the kernel cleaning script.

I swear, battery life (already extended life Naztech) seems to have about tripled, and GPS got me to 4 meters with multiple satellites in just a few seconds.

I was seeing battery fall off by about 50% in half a day, even with little use, but it seems now that when the screen is off, it is using much less power with this kernel, and I can still be at about 65-70% after a full day.

I was going to flash something else, but now I don't want to break what seems to be fixed.:D

version that had that.

agreed on both agitations, the long sms and no BLN. the mms switch is not a biggie. im happy as long as my message goes. but i know what you mean.

i was on glitch for a long time, however JT's seem to be running better for me lately - especially the 11/3. the color and screen seem more crisp as well.

i used to hate BLN, but have become quite accustomed to it and JT's doesnt support it without adding blinky (if it still does?) that was too much hassle so i just deal without.

Mine works great on Ricks 1.11.11 version. Threw on the Supercharger script and this is now my build of choice. The only thing missing is the BLN, but I can always switch to Glitch if I miss it that much. too early to give actual data, but battery seems to be much better today than in a long time for me.

    MIUI for Beginners​

    Source: http://en.miui.com/a-10.html

    Already flashed MIUI ROM? OK, pick up your phone now, let’s start our happy journey of MIUI ROM.

    The first step: selecting apps

    Various apps will greatly enrich your cell phone, so firstly let’s select the apps to your taste. Use the Android Market and download what you would like. If you are using a backup app and restoring apps from a previous ROM, only restore the apps and not the data. Otherwise that will create a lot of force close issues.
    pic111.jpg


    Tip: How to copy files from the computer to the phone? First connect your phone to your computer via data cable, pull down the notification panel from the top of the phone, click “USB connected”, and then click "Turn on USB storage”.

    After copying, do not forget to select the option of “Turn off USB storage”, otherwise "File Manager” in the phone will not be able to find the sd card, as it is being occupied by the computer.

    Now I have a lot of apps, how to put them in order?

    All apps successfully installed are listed on the desktop, however, they may not be in the order you want, how to put them in order?
    pic112.jpg


    Long press an app icon and then you may move it freely. When it is moved to the screen border, the screen will automatically switch to the next screen.

    How to add a screen? Use two fingers to pinch on the desktop to enter screen thumbnail mode. Then you may add or delete screens.

    How to delete an app? Long press the app icon you want to delete, drag it on top of the trash box and click OK to delete it.

    The second step: let's make your phone different.

    A phone without style is nothing remarkable, so let’s make your phone different!
    pic113.jpg


    Changing wallpaper: Click Menu button on the desktop, select “Change Wallpaper” to replace the wallpaper. In addition to the existing wallpaper in the phone, thousands of pieces of wallpaper are also available online.
    Changing theme: Themes make great changes to your interface style. Click “Theme Manager” on the desktop to select the theme you like. Also, more online themes are available online.

    Selecting ringtones and more: click “Settings” on the desktop to set call and notification ringtones. In “Personalization” under “Personal” tab, you may find more options.

    The third step: it’s time for some advanced techniques!

    Well, you are no longer a beginner now, so let’s learn some advanced techniques.

    pic114.jpg


    Adding widgets on the desktop: press the Menu button on the desktop, select "Edit Mode", and then click the icon on the upper right corner to access the interface of “Add Widgets”. Choose your favorite widget on the top, and then drag it to the screen below.

    Using folders to manage desktop apps: in the interface of “Add Widgets”, drag [Folder] to the desktop. You may drag multiple apps into folders to classify them. After opening the folder, you may click the edit icon in the upper left corner to rename the folder.

    Using toggles panel to improve efficiency: drag the notification panel down from the top, click "Toggles" to go to the toggles panel (It goes to the toggles panel in default of notice.) On the panel are listed the most commonly used toggles, you may click to quickly enable or disable a toggle. Long press on the icon will launch the settings for that icon.

    Guest mode: enable the “Guest Mode” toggle in the panel, and your calls and text messages logs will be hidden, and all installed applications cannot be removed. You may have a try when you need to show your phone to guests or children.

    Importing contacts or binding accounts: you may use some apps to import a batch of contacts, or bind Google account directly in "Settings"> "Personal"> "Accounts & Sync Settings" to sync contacts at any time.
    How to print screens? Press "Menu" key and "Volume Down" key at the same time to print a screen. The printed image is saved in the directory of MIUI in the SD card.

    How to copy files from the computer without using the data cable? In case of a Wi-Fi connection, enter “File Manager” on the desktop, select the tab of "Remote Administration" to start the service, and then you will get an address. Enter the given address on the computer, then you may copy files without using a data cable!
