Hi all,
When I answer calls the microphone does not seem to activate and the caller can't hear me at all. The only work around is to switch to speaker and the microphone starts to work. Have to keep headphones with me all the time
I'm on CM 7.1.0 jordan stable, should I reflash this ROM again?
Thanks.
Could be a hardware problem, but yes, just reinstall the same build to see if it is not a software problem.
Try to only wiping dalvik cache before or after flashing the zip (without wiping cache or data) first and you will not lose any of your current settings or apps.
Good luck.
Thanks AL, but wiping dalvik cache did nothing, so I made a backup with recovery and did a clean install and the microphone is working
I must have messed up something in the settings... any ways if I restore the backup is there a way to restore CM7 default settings and test? can't seem to find them :/

Well good that you now know that it's not hardare related.
The dalvik cache wipe was not a target solution on its own but just a step in what I would have done in order to keep yours apps, sms -and as much as you could- intact. So again; I would have just reinstalled the nightly AND wipe dalvik cache only (because it is always good to do so after a system installation).
But now, I would try to do this: wipe everything in cwm recovery (cache+data+dalvik), restore your nand and boot up.
If the problem is still there, then go back in cwm again and do what I just wrote above: dalvik cache wipe only and flash the nightly.
If it doesn't work, then backup your apps+data with TB, Astro or others and go clean install again...
Ok been re-flashing/restoring/testing... hence this late reply, the good news is that the microphone works now and I'm on the latest cm7.1 nightly.
The bad part is that the earpiece is dead?(on the current and clean install, maybe this was not working all along, with the mic) I know others have had issues with this? BUT seem to work only on skype calls, this would mean the earpiece is ok right, this is driving me nuts. any suggestions?
Or other recommended alternative ROM I can try or tests/debug form computer? really love CM tho.

Hello,
I've recently installed Oxygen on my Desire. And it was working flawlessly untill a few days back, when my Data/3G stopped working all together.
I inserted my SIM card into an X10i and 3G was working on that phone. But on my Desire, even though all setting are turned on, nothing seems to be working ?
Any help ? As i have very limited knowledge or rooting and custom ROMs, there might be something that i might be doing wrong ?
Thanks
Did you do a full wipe, data/factory rest, cache and dalvik cache when flashing the rom?
Also have you tried resetting or manual reading the apn settings? And do you use any app to control data connection?

1. Yes I did all of those things specifically, while flashing a new ROM.
2. I have tried resetting the APN settings. The thing is that my phone wont even detect that my Carrier has 3G or even Edge for that matter. Whereas, in the same area when I inserted my SIM into an X10i (or any other phone, just for comparison) it worked flawlessly.
3. No I dont use any app. I did install a widget to switch on/off data from my home screen but since it didnt work i uninstalled it. If I were to guess since when Im having this problem, I'd say somewhere around this widget incident. Its possible it has some connection. But I already uninstalled it.
Thanks for your time.
If it was a third party widget it might have messed it up. Make a nandroid and do and full wipe without reflashing to see if you get a connection. Beforehand you can back up your apps with titanium backup so that you can restore them on the fresh install if that fixed the data problem.

It was a third party widget, actually. Since Im new to the process, could you expand on "Make a nandroid and do and full wipe without reflashing", or perhaps, direct me to a place where I can see how its done.
Ill download the titanium back up from the market and back-up the apps. Wouldn't it reload the settings and the apps when I restore the backup, and possible the bug too ? Assuming the widget messed up some sort of setting or somethin ?
First make the nandorid, to do this boot in to recovery and go to backup, from that point on it should be self explanatory. You can also use rom manager and the backup feature. Once the nandroid is done you wipe (still in recovery) data/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache under advanced, then hit back and reboot.
I don't think titanium will restore the "bug" because you already removed the app that probably caused it, just make sure you only backup/restore the green apps and data and check the list you restore to be sure that the switch widget isn't included.

Thanks man, it worked. I guess I have to be cautious on a Custom ROM before installing any apps, keeping in mind the compatiblity.
I have the same problem. I get no 3g icons in oxygen rc7 or in cyanogen mod7 build 32.
I have istalled both roms with full wipe of cache and dalvik. Nothing helps.
It is only green when wifi is on. If i turn it off, the netstatus is becoming grey.
It is a HTC Desire
And 3G is working perfect with Leedroid 2.3d
Wifi Issue, try out : "In wifi settings, advanced, set regulatory domain to 14 channels. I suspect what happens is that it cures the problem for those of us with channel = auto on the accesspoint."
3G Issue : Configurate manually your access points depending on your provider, it worked for a friend.
Good Luck!
This is a Noob question, if I wipe data and cache 3 times with CWM and then restore a backup created just before with CWM doesn't it put back all the stuff that I tried to wipe for clean ROM flashing? Or is there garbage in there that does not get backed up and restored?
Thanks.
It will put pretty much everything back. It doesn't backup and restore the kernel, though.
So what is the purpose of wiping 3 times. Does that allow the new ROM kernel to install properly? Then we can restore everything back on top of the new kernel? The main reason I ask is after flashing a new ROM and only wiping once (I know!) about once every other day my txt messages get stuck sending. I have to reboot to send and then the clock starts again until this reoccurs. So is it best to backup with CWM, wipe 3 times, flash, then restore with CWM?
Thanks.
Wiping three times is because there has been a question about whether clockwork 2.5.x wipes certain partitions properly. Apparently it returns back from the function much faster than it should. Some people do seem to have intermittent problems when wiping once. I generally only wipe once between roms, but if anything isn't working right I go back and wipe 3x and reinstall.
Generally, when you wipe something, you aren't going to be restoring it all back. You want to wipe between different roms because certain things may be set up differently in the two and you may get weird glitches and force closes. If you are wiping to get rid of a bug, then you shouldn't restore a buggy backup or you will probably still have the bug.
You can try doing a reinstall of the base rom, wiping first of course. Then you can go restore->advanced restore->restore data to get apps and settings back. See if you still have the problem. If so, then you're going to have to wipe again and reinstall the base rom, but DONT restore your backup. You may be able to carry some apps and settings across with something like Titanium if you absolutely can't start from scratch again.
AH! Now I get it...thank you for that explanation. Tried the 3X wipe today with restore from CWM 2.5.1 so will wait and see if the SMS problem shows up again. Thank you again.
So I have a question , I'm currently on 110722 Nightly Jordan, and I'm planning on going to the newest 110729 Nightly Jordan.
Now, what are the steps that should I take?
should I upgrade to either the BOOT 179-4 / BOOTSEA first? or I could just flash to 110729?
thanks for your help
just flash 110729 Nightly as u flash normally..no special steps required..
one more question, to upgrade, we firstly need to wipe data, wipe cache and wip dalvik cache right?
can anyone tell me what does this three steps do? (as in wiping data, you're deleting something, .........)
thanks
do not wipe anything..u can wipe cache but never wipe data..wiping data will result in deleting everything u have ever installed in ur phone..like apps and all..and wiping cache is also not required..but it is ok if u wipe cache..
oh thank you arpith
so if I don't need to wipe data, then I don't need to use titanium backup right? as none of the apps are deleted
yep..no need of titanium backup..it will be as it is..only system files will be updated..
Can you tell us if you haver wifi problem with the new nighty ?
I went back to the latest SEA because of that
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
my wi-fi is working great actually, no loss at speed or sudden DCs.
the one thing that I'm worried is my camera.
somehow, the images that it produce are really bad, it doesn't force closes, but the quality of image is very poor (already on max settings) , both on photos and videos.
any solutions?
hey im facing a very bad sound and audio quality in cyanogenmod 7.1 stable for my desire z. sound is distorted and very pitchy. its not clear and i have had brilliant sound on stock rom and other sense roms. is there any way to change the sound playback to stock rom? or any other fix for this?
Did you do a full wipe when you installed cyanogenmod? I had issues with sound quality and issues with voice quality during calls as well and i'm pretty sure it was because i didn't do a full wipe.
To do a full wipe:
1. Always make sure you backup your current ROM before doing this.
2. From CWM do a factory reset.
3. Format /system through the mounts and storage option in CWM.
4. Wipe the Dalvik Cache through the advanced settings menu in CWM.
5. Install CM 7.1.0 again on your phone which has now been fully wiped .
That should just about cover it.
i actually did do a full wipe and i can try this again. but can u tell me if i reinstall the rom, can i get every setting, app and contact pictures etc back?

If you did a full wipe then you have already gotten all your settings, apps, and pics back once. Unless your lying about doing a wipe...
what ever the case use SuperwipeG2+ http://www.mediafire.com/?o8npy8mg421r2
no when i first installed cyanogenmod, i used wipe and started with new. now i need to wipe again so im asking that how to backup everything to get to this place back again as its been long since i have been on this rom and i have done a lot with my phone
You can use titanium backup to backup all your apps (and their data) so that you can restore them later.
So i just flashed this rom. and everything worked fine including the ring. So after, i flashed diff mods and colors for the acer ring and also the fix (that was updated 6/2/12 i believe?
then after taking some screen shots. a pop up said,
system ui has stopped unexpecticly. or something like that.
and now the botton in the center is gone. So i cant use it at all.
Checked settings and it is enabled.
What should i do to fix? just reflash any acer ring or just the fix. or just flash the hole rom again?

ya. i got it working again.
i get nervous going into recovery to flash something. i already bricked my transformer tf300 last week. but i got it back up and running. i just get scared. I'm gunna do a noob mistake and permently brick one of my devices.
but i didnt wipe anything. i rebooted, but it was still gone, went in settings unchecked, checked acer ring, rebooted again then it was back
btw do you no how to change bookmarks in acer ring. too ur google/ chrome bookmarks instead of the stock ones?
I haven't noticed a way it seems to only show the stock browser, import them into the stock browser should put them on the ring too. Also delete from the stock any you don't want.
Huge edit: forgot to mention, any changes like flashing rings or mods etc. Should be followed by cache and dalvik wipe, and maybe fix permissions. That way old info is wiped so the new info can settle instead of it finding new info where it expects old info...make sense?
Flashing is fine provided you know what you're doing. Don't just do random things and you'll be OK. Only flash for your device, and mods meant for your rom, like the stuff civato posts for his FR rom. Recovery is safe as long as you use common sense and caution. If you don't know what something does, don't use it. Google it or ask, better to wait and know then guess and brick.
Generally always safe to do is wipe cache dalvik fix permissions. No data loss that you see occurs.
Safe if something broke and won't boot BUT you lose apps and settings is wipe data/ factory reset, done with wipe cache and dalvik and maybe fix permissions.
Wiping system wipes out android and you must flash a new rom or restore to boot into the system, and is always done with cache dalvik and data.
I strongly advise against partitioning from recovery if possible. If you must partition your SD card then use a PC tool not recovery. Don't initiate sd-ext wipes directly, if it happens on resets that's fine just don't do it by itself. I only mention this because on my phone we had a string of bricks due to bad recovery mapping and it was nuking our loaders instead. Stick to what I said and you're safe in recovery and flashing. I'm sure others can chime in with more info on this too.

i thanked you for your last post i feel i owe you more thanks than replies you made specifically to me lol. yah i had no idea you had to wipe cache and dalvik and fix permissions. when flashing the acer ring. i thought only do that on roms. thats probably why my acer ring was giving me problems. havn't had one problem with it since i wiped.
but just to clarify, do you wipe cache/ dalvik before or after you flash (Acer ring for example) or both?

Either or. Some say before flashing some say after. I do before and after but that's just because of my scripts doing it before I flash (full rom). Something like the ring I flash then wipe cache dalvik fix perms after, so any of the mods etc that are not rom installs. Full rom installs I full wipe before then flash everything then clear cache and dalvik. I only fix perms if I get FCs.
