[BUILD] **Complete FroYo Bundle** FRX07.1 - Maintenance Release

[janusman]

First - Kudos to everyone who contributed even in smallest possible way for this !!!

Fresh install (did not format SD card this time) - but did delete all the files except startup and calibration file.

Observed the following things.

1. When the mobile is set to vibrate mode - its not vibrating when I receive any call
2. I am able to call - but not always receive the call. I tried calling from my extn - it did not work for the first few times. I rebooted - and am getting the calls. - I had the same problem in the previous release - and I was told to update RIL. Hopefully it will get fixed this time.
3. I seldom see any signal on the top - its almost always is empty - But I can call/receive calls. The signal strength goes to 2 points sometimes and then comes back to zero immediately.
4. I don't see any orange LED when the phone s active (not sleep). I also do not see green LED (always) when the phone s sleep. It blinks rarely.
5. Google Maps updated itself and rebooted to android once I logged on to Market.

Will keep posted.

1. Do you mean silent mode? I have mine set to vibrate "Always", and it always vibrates.

2. I would try to update your radio firmware. I do not have this problem (although others have reported it, and to my knowledge no one has found a definitive answer. For some the solution was putting WinMo in airplane mode before booting Android, might try that as well. Others haven't been able to solve it at all...)

3. Signal will fluctuate. I typically have 2 bars in my office. In my buddy's house, I get 0 bars, with it randomly bliping. Keep in mind, the signal strength reading for 1xRTT is different from EVDO. So you'll get a different strength reading if it's flipping between those modes. The strength bar is much more accurate now tho...

4. Read the changelog. Userland notifications now control the LED.

5. That will happen. If the system hangs (for any reason) and it unavailable for a certain amount of time, killall zygote is called and you're back at the boot animation. It usually comes back in a good state for me (before it didn't) but some said they still have to reboot after this because the radio won't work. For whatever reason, it's now coming back in a good state for me.

1. Silent mode - It is vibrating now. Just rebooted and it seems OK now.

2. Radio firmware - I am on VZW 2.37 I think. Thats the latest I cud find when I installed ENERGY rom. I dint get a couple of calls yesterday night when my friends were trying to reach me .. Will try the airplane mode in winmo..

3. Well - I never am getting any signal bar

lol... ever? Have you moved around at all, like in a car? I want to make sure you've tried it in different environments. I certainly get signal, no problem. It does fluctuate, and I wanted you to be aware that 1xRTT and EVDO have completely different representations. At my office, I have a full 4 bars on 1xRTT, but I'm usually on EVDO - which I only get 1-2 bars at my office on EVDO.

I saw in my office.. Walked around office - At this point - I got 1 bar.. Home - I sometimes get a single bar and as soon as it appears - it goes away.. So - that means - ever - yes

I did try airplane mode in WinMo - but it doesn't seem to work... It simply doesn'y want to receive any calls.. lol..

The thing is - when someone calls (I tested from my extn and another mobile) - the 3G goes to 1X which normally happens when you get a call. But - no ring tone - no receiving of call. The moment end the call from another mobile/extn - it switches right back to 3G.

Another doubt - Shouldn't the 3G show Ev?? I do not have my sim card - lost it I guess when i removed it for previous versions of XDA. So - not sure if that might be the issue.

There is no Ev icon in Android's framework. On native Android devices, it just shows 3g as well.

As for the other troubles, this was fine on FRX06 yes? Seems the new RIL isn't playing nicely on everyone's devices. We're trying to isolate it, but only limited success thus far.

Well - When I used FRX6 - I used it only for few hours or so - as it led to many reboots ad crashes - was testing the SOD fix I guess. Even before that - I used to get calls - also used to miss a few - I do remember friends telling me - It kept ringing when I never received any calls.

As for the signal bars - Yes - this is the first time I have noticed that.

I don't mind not having Wifi/bluetooth/Camera or any additional things - but I do need the basic things to work - attend calls... else I cannot continue using it eventhough I want to ..
