Re: Workarounds/known issues 7/22: Updated for FRX07

This needs to be updated for FRX07. I just went down the laundry list.
- Waking phone from sleep sometimes doesn't work on kernel 1258 and more recent: The 13xx kernel should have fixed that by now. If your kernel still SoD contact your local emergency kernel developer.
- Bluetooth pairs but nothing works after that: BT should pair and be able to do everything except route audio.
- 3.5mm headset jack on CDMA Touch Pro 2's: Routes outgoing audio for now, no support for microphone or call/end button.
- extUSB headset jack works but will often slow the phone down to a crawl: No idea on this.
- Location mostly working in FRX, but there are a number of issues: Still the same, netloc over CDMA works with FRX07. GRX issues were somewhat fixed (iirc certain intents were no longer passed on, but the instructions responsible for that have been executed).
- Battery level reading is pretty inaccurate, best around 50% and least accurate at the extremes: Still inaccurate and liable to corrupt your data.img if you let your phone die.
- Notification LED doesn't notify, but just outputs whether your phone is in sleep (green) or active (orange): No change.
- Proximity sensor is completely not working: IIRC we do have a base driver for prox, do we know why we ended up not using it?
- MMS reception: Needs to be set up via Settings->Wireless Networks->.... Is it still an issue for MMS over GSM?
- Stylus removal/insertion sensor is completely not working: There were several kernel around Apr that did turn on the system on stylus removal, afaik it was taken out due to screen rotation issues. Now that screen rotation has been fixed, maybe this can be explored again?
- TV Out is completely not working: Probably never will be.
- Zoom Bar is completely not working: Will never work on .27, might be possible on .35/.39 after the mysterious crashes gets looked at.
- Tethering on USB built into Android works in FRX but not GRX, but tethering on wifi built into Android works on both, but is unstable and will crash the system on turning it off: I never had the crash-on-shutdown happen often with WiFi tethering, but always needed to redo settings for ssid and wpa key to stick.
- Wifi will not connect to WEP, only WPA or unencrypted: Google issue I guess.
- Furthermore, once turned on, Wifi will never actually turn off again until reboot, so will provide a constant small power drain. It will show as turned off, but power off code is not actually present in kernel: Has this been looked at? I've had some pm.sleepmode=1 sleep a few days after turning off WiFi, but it would be nice to get this one fixed.
- Speakerphone mute button on back doesn't do anything: This is because someone decided to use an undefined keyword REAR_MUTE in the .kl file.
- Home Button is missing in the default setup: FRX07 decided to map it to end key, but I suggest using a custom one (probably derived from f22's) to maintain saneness and use b1home so both recent app and spare parts work. How-to can be found on xda's tp2 android devel forum.
- Internal memory cannot be accessed except on NAND builds: Not quite true, it can access it with the mtdchar driver, but won't you do much good as it's in two big blobs. Maybe someone wants to create a losetup script that can mount, at least ro, the rom and user fat partitions. IIRC it bindmounts the user partition over the system one (ie. if you create a file, it stores it in the user part) so a custom fat driver would be needed aka unionfs in order to see it unified.
- USB Mass Storage only works if you partition your SD card: That's what happens on the bleeding edge.
- SD Card on a reboot will mess up the contents of the card when using non-NAND builds: That and unexpected power downs. Shutdown issue should be looked at imho since it's tied to the reboot-on-shutdown issue as well.
- Keyboard will occasionally hold down and repeat keys that you type: Supposed fixed kernel still causes this issue. No further development since then.
- Video playback works for low resolutions, but high resolutions such as Youtube HQ have only audio: Is this still true?

Good list. But need to add Light Sensor to this list. Light sensor and Autobacklight go hand in hand and its probably something i will be attacking.
i would love to work on the tv out. But that cable is more rare than a virgin in a night club.
