Don't you have to mount Data in Recovery to flash kernels on some of the newer Sense ROMS?

Read the thread. It tells you right there what potential issues could cause the ones you are seeing.

Thanks for the replys and I have mounted data still no luck

Maybe your phone just doesn't like it...it happens from time to time

I had the same issue. At first I was on the engineering hboot the went to .97 and still had problems. Finally after switching to 2.10 hboot (which my phone came with stock) I was finally able to run the kernel. Not saying that's your exact issue but its what made mine work. At the end of it all I went back to AOSP anyway. I've gotten so used to running a SBC kernel that I had to switch back.

Yes if you look through "Caulkins" radio thread, around the last 10 or so pages, there's definitely talk of people switching their h boot. And that fixing the problem.

[Q] Signal Issues

Hey, i'm using Warm-Z Nightly 4-13, on radio 11.19.
I see my signal tend to disappear then reappear every so often. During that time, i'm not able to do anything that involves the radio like data or sms or phone calls.
Is it because of the actual radio? Should I downgrade to 07.28 again?
That Sounds to me as if its radio related. Did you flash the radio when you put on the new nightly? Or have you been using that radio for a while?

I've been using this radio for about a month or two now.
Damn auto correct......Hmmm.....well in that case this is kind of odd. Maybe the 4/13 nightly build had a glitch with that radio. I'd try either restoring your old nightly or just flashing a different nightly. If you still seem to have problems then I would try a new radio. But if this radio just recently started glitching with your new nightly I would definitely say just change to a different nightly and see if it helps

It's been with all my ROMs lol. I just happened to be using Warm-Z right now. I'm on 4-14 right now and it's still doing it. I'm about to flash back to 07.28.. i just don't know if that's safe.
I'm actually on 07.28. As well as warm z twopointtwo 4/7 nightly with the same kernel. You'll be fine.....flash the new radio just make sure you know what you're doing before you start

Well, here goes. If anything. I got Best Buy on my side.
BTW, Warm-Z 4-14 has a new kernel. Ziggy's 04-13 kernel. In case you update.
Ooohhh that's sweet.....that's the kernel that you were telling me in the other thread had havs correct?

It's a different version of it. The current one that's in the nightly is a beta and well Ziggy took off all links if the kernel so incubus was lucky to have it before it got deleted. Upgrade to 4-14 its really fast.

Nope. I don't pay attention to that stuff. I usually try to stay away from too many kernel mods.
But the new kernel its running doesn't bump charge at all, so you should like it.
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
And forgive me one more time bump charge is just the technical term for the ten percent drop then change process the phone goes through correct?

Plus any news on that radio flash for ya? And when I go to flash this new nightly will I have to do a full wipe since it flashes kernel too? Cause I really don't like having to restore my apps and data with titanium

Sorry for the late reply, I have school and work.
But yeah, I updated to the leaked EVO 04.08 and the signal increased by -5 and i don't see the random disappearing anymore. When you flash the nightly, only wipe CACHE and DALVIK-CACHE. Do NOT wipe DATA unless you plan to start over.
Cool lemme know if you got more probs and ill do the same!

Wifi tether speeds...

I kept arguing with myself, if I should post this here or in the development forum, or what, so if a moderator feels the urge to move it, please do so.
Should end user speedtest via wifi tether (iPad) be somewhat similar to the results of 3g speedtest on the phone? I am trying to decide if I am getting in the neighborhood as what I should. I can be parked in the middle of a full bar signal area (I know, I know...the bars aren't fool proof, but all 4 at least means more than none or 1) and I only get about .9mbps on the phone and then about .7mbps on the iPad.
I'm using my Dinc (of course) and I'm running CM7 Final and the latest Incredikernal 2.6.37.6. I'm also using the wifi tether that's stock with CM7.
Thanks,
Roger

Im getting 2233 down n 846 up from my phone on warm z. I use lous #8, 4.08 radio, its pretty quick.

What radio are you using? Ive tried different radios and 4.08 and 11.19 work best for me for signal and data speed.
4.08 works great for me
I am using the stock HTC radio. As much of a cutting edge geek as I am, I'm really nervous about messing with the radio. Is it honestly as iffy as they make it sound, or is it no different than anything else, just gotta pay attention to what you're doing?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Check md5 sum, flash with full(ish) battery, and don't pull the battery while its flashing. Oh and make sure your SD is formatted fat32. Check those things and you'll be fine.

[Q] CM 7.0.3.1 4G Reboot

Just upgraded to CM 7.0.3.1 and was having the same problem with 7.0.2.1
If I have 4g/Wimax turned on for a while my phone freezes and hard reboots on it's own.
wiped all Dalvik and chach partitions, ran fix permissions
Tried a full wipe and fresh install of 7.3.0.1 and same issue. Just wanted to confirm if I was the only one seeing this issue.
Check WIMAX Keys and all is well
7.3.0.1?? wow im a noob and did not know they released that rom..u must be running android 4.3.4?

you know that is usually your phone getting to hot and shutting off as a failsafe, did you notice if it was hot? 4g does that to some phones specially with custom kernels, i would try a different kernel, hope it helps
Using the stock cm7 kernel and doesn't seem to be overheating. I'll try a new kernel, good idea

Data not working!!

Just wondering why my phone basically went off the grid because one second I was using the internet having a good time. A little slow as 3g sucks ass in my area but now its gone to an incredibly slow crawl taking ten minutes to load Google and another 5 to load a damn simple search. Friend has a crappy evo shift that's getting insanely fast speeds and loading things fine. Same network same house anyone know what's up?

I think your best bet would try and do a fresh re-flash of your current ROM (using Calkulin's format all) , or Odin to stock then see if the issue still occurs. Of course make a Nandroid Backup if you do.
thanks I'll try that but I'm thinking the cyanogenmod 9 alpha 3 first. Been waiting on that for a while

That's fine, I was just saying the current ROM in case you wanted to stay on it. Perfect time to give any other ROM a shot and start fresh.
Just be careful and read the instructions first.
I flash other roms all the time thats not the issue feom what i understand teying to flash different modems till u find the one that works best is the way to go i have flashed about 5 so gb modems seem to work better fyi u can use ics and gb modems on a ics rom but if u r on a gb rom u cant use ics modems

There is no way I would go back to gb ics is so much better even with the bugs I just need to find the right modem i guess flash a new one and run speed test or something it drives me nuts that my data just stops in the middle of something im doing
