Anyone else only connecting to the Edge network? I went into Wireless & Networks > Mobile network settings and made sure "Use only 2G networks" was Unchecked but still only connecting to Edge for me, the area I am in usually runs "H" with 6.1.0.
Network is fine for me

Might possibly be performing service upgrades on 3G in your area, it happens from time to time.
Oooo
im liking it!
a) All my homescreen apps somehow dissapeared.. but ok, i guess ill place them back.
b) A2ext by acejokey doesnt work very well.. some apps load, others dont. When you go to "manage apps" is shows the apps with the "sd card" icon next to it.
c) How do I flash the google apps? i clicked flash.. then got to home-screen, it asked me which apps i wanted to install. I accidentally hit cancel. Now what?
:Edit:
a) I had a different Launcher. Thats why
how is the built in VoIP/SIP working on this build, any thoughts on that matter ?
How is the market? Weather bug be fine?
Everything is working fine...one random restart but I believe it was because I was overclocked to high. My slide is usually only stable at 825 mhz. The makeover is nice and the new keyboard is fantastic. Copy and paste is a ++ can't believe this is just a nightly and not stable. 0 problems. Thanks Cyanogen!

Not sure if it would work with gb but try hebrewtoyou's wifi fix. It only affects some devices. My wifi is working fine.
I also love the built in tether, works better than anything else I've used, especially since it shows as an access point, not an ad-hoc network.

I *highly* doubt it will work, as those modules are meant for a 2.6.29 kernel, but trying it won't hurt.
Flashed this before work, loving it. I was loving the earlier version too, but it's nice to see Nightlys and be a part of this stuff. I didn't mess around with the CM6 Nightlys... Can't wait for more updates
worked fine until i tried flashing the gapps to it..then as soon as it goes to the touch the android screen it reboots everytime...has anyone gotten the gapps to work or is there an udated version?
nevermind i did some searching and found them...
what happened to battery percentage on status bar, i wonder if they got rid of it cuz the battery sits vertical instead of horizontal, or i am blind and i am just not seeing the option.

It's not there. I do not think it is an orientation issue since it works in Cyanoginger and it is vertical.
Just watched a YouTube demo and the guy mentioned pulling the SIM card being the only way to turn off LTE/4G. I know there have been many questions posed and didn't see this mentioned so figured I'd put it out there.

I feel like I just have to ask... why would you want to turn off 4G? if you have no 4G in your service area, the phone already automatically switch down to 3G

To minimize battery drain when you're not needing/using data? I guess you could leech wifi as often as possible too but know many people have asked about disabling 4G, I can only assume its power consumption related.
Don't pull out the SIM card. What happen if you loose it? You'll be ended up by paying additional charge for replacing new sim card.
The good way to disable 4G is just type:
*#*#4636#*#* when you want to make call.
Then, scroll down until you see the word says "CDMA + LTE/EvDo".
Click that and change it to "CDMA PRL Auto".
If you want to use 4G, just do the steps above, and instead of "CDMA PRL Auto", change it to "CDMA + LTE/EvDo" (you can also change to "LTE mode" if you want 4G only).
Hopefully, it will help you

You can "automate" this is a way by downloading an app called "Phone Info" by [email protected] It allows you to enable/disable 4G. Basically does exactly what dialing would do but is faster and easier.

Thanks for the link. My app drawer's cluttered enough with apps, though; maybe after we get root and can remove all the bloat/crap-ware.
I usually just add a contact with all the dialer codes so I don't have to memorize them. I'm in a 4G area, so don't really see the need for this personally, but nice to know the trick anyways.

I used to have the same issue with a cluttered app drawer (I'd uninstall apps I used occasionally just to shrink my app drawer). I started using ADW Launcher EX a while back and it lets you make different app drawer versions. Basically you can choose which apps show up in the app drawer, so you can hide all the bloatware icons and leave the apps you use all the time. Then when you want one of your rarely used apps, just switch to the "ALL" app drawer and it will show every app installed on your phone. Just a suggestion, I found it to be really helpful.

That's an excellent tip! Thanks. I'm actually a licensed paid for version of ADW Ex, but haven't used it in a while, preferring the look and feel of Launcher Pro instead. Might be time to check out ADW again...

Until a toggle switch comes out, this may be the only way. But who would want to go back to 3G?

So, what's the way to use Thunderbolt in overseas CDMA networks that doesn't offer 4G LTE service.
Is manual PRL programming (mean ##DIAG mode) or R-UIM card possible solution for this problem?
If you use LauncherPro you can create an Activity to go directly to the phoneinfo screen. I use this all the time to turn off 3G on my Droid1 when I'm at work thanks to no 3g at all.
Long press the home screen, add shortcut, then Activities. Select Settings and scroll down for what seems for ever until you see Phone info and select it.

Or use Any Cut from the market if you dont use a custom launcher.

Being an iPhone 3G and then 4 user for over 3 years, I decided to switch to android. First bought an HTC incredible S because the Atrix wasn't unlocked back then yet.
The HTC was nice but it was kinda awkward to hold in the hand, having a thinner body all around.
Now I got the atrix and its pretty awesome.
I got a Bell Atrix, unlocked it, and installed the latest cherrypi 0.7 on it. I also carrier unlocked it to use it on fido network. There are a couple of issues:
1) I didn't setup motoblur when I first booted cherrypi, or was there the option? I forgot already. But now, when I go to accounts and tap on the facebook icon to set it up nothing happens. I wanted to setup facebook in order to get it sync with my contacts so I can get the pictures onto my contacts. Is this right? HTC sense seems to work flawlessly in this regard. I remember with bell stock rom 2.2.2 I did setup motoblur and the contacts did show their facebook displays. Should I reflash cherrypi and setup blur? I dont see any way of setting up now.
2) I tried to use the mobile hotspot, everything seems fine, but when my laptop or iphone 4 connects to it, there's still no internet. Connection seems fine and it gets the IP too, but nothing works...
3) The wireless settings section seems to be missing a lot of options... such as enable/disable data, data roaming etc.... using a toggle widget for data works, but how come the option is not in settings?
4) I purchased extended controls widget, and it seems that the flash button is not working on my atrix? it used to work fine on the incredible s. Droidlight seems to work though...
5) Sometimes when I reboot I get greeted with a bunch of "problem loading widget". This is really annoying coz I have to delete them and put add the widgets all over again. This happened with the inc S too when I modded/played with the rom too much and got it fixed when i did a full wipe and rom flash again. I'm tempted to do this now with the atrix, see if it fixes some issues.
6) Is it possible to add android native support for more languages? I have searched a bit and it seems that ppl say "cyanogen" or "more locale" more locale useless for me, coz you dont get the keyboard... ( i want traditional chinese inputs ) and cyanogen for the atrix is not stable yet right? Can't we just just for example extract the languages from lets say a taiwanese atrix rom or an HTC rom and add it into the current rom? I could just use the chinese input in the market... but it's not ideal... also, i wonder if it's possible to get speech recognition for chinese language and not just english?
ok this is getting too long, I will leave it at that for now..
It'd be great of anyone could give me some insight into these problems... I'm fairly new to android... sorry if some of the questions have been answered... but I have tried searching already. Could these be a bell atrix problem only? I just wish bell could release an official GB update already... Threads specific to bell atrix is fairly limited here too.
million thanks in advance!
1) I haven't tried cherrypi, but could it be one of those ROMs where an attempt has been made to strip out Motoblur, so Motoblur doesn't work on that ROM?
2) I don't know, but I know it works on stock 2.2.2 and the leaked Bell 2.3.4 because I've used it with my laptop.
3) Data roaming and stuff like that are under Settings > Wireless Networks > Mobile Networks ... At least on the stock ROMs.
4) - 6) I don't know about these.
Since it's so easy to flash ROMs with clockwork mod, why don't you go back to 2.2.2 or 2.3.4 and verify that all your accounts are setup properly? Also check your tethering at that time and other settings. If Motoblur is setup properly once, when you sign into Motoblur from any ROM the next time all your accounts will carry over.
thanks for the reply.
blur works on that rom, it's just that i didn't set it up at the beginning.
Actually, I just did a wipe and installed cherrypi again and this time i did setup motoblur, so i have the facebook account setup in there now. I do get facebook profile pictures now, but it doesn't seem to be consistent. depending on which widget i use, sometimes facebook profile pics are not used for contact displays. It seems that android contact list is kinda messed up. Is there anyway to actually force the sync and merge of all the contacts from different networks and put them up on google contacts? and what is the difference between "favorites" and "android starred"?
@maledyris how's the leaked bell 2.3.4? how's the battery life? any issues? I did see a post somewhere saying it wasn't good. no specifics...
As for roaming settings, I found it hidden under "battery and data management"???? lol...
After re-flashing cherrypi i found a strange behaviour of the battery.
I did a battery calibration before flashing and it showed around 4200 mAh in battery calibration app... then i did the flash of cherrypi when my battery was around 50%...
After booting up again... the indicator showed 80%!!... went to battery calibration app and it showed 3730mAh..... so then I kept using and reinstalling apps... and started charging again at 40%... when it reached 100% the battery calibration app showed 4170mAh!! What's going on?
If you're happy with cherry at the moment, I would stick with that, or try something else. The leaked Bell 2.3.4 is still kind of buggy.
Battery life is better than the leaked French Orange 2.3.4. Sometimes I get good battery, other times, not so good... I didn't fully track down what was causing it.
WebTop was broken. Plugging the device into USB or unplugging it may cause a random reboot. My phone froze and reboot occasionally when using the YouTube app. On some occasions at night when I wasn't using the phone (ie. it was on a table or something) I would notice it rebooting. It's pretty unstable at the moment.
That battery calibration issue where battery goes up after a reboot, that's a known bug in these 2.3.4 based ROMs, but I believe there is a fix for that. I never tried it though. Search for battery fix, it should be on one of the first few pages of the dev forum.
Oh, almost forgot, that Facebook profile picture stuff you were talking about. Look for Photo Unlocker by ChainsDD. Basically this unlocks profile pictures that have been marked as restricted for use by third party apps. Not sure about the merging of contacts thing... Don't they merge in the contacts on your phone already? I see some Google+ and my normal contacts in my Android contacts so I know it's at least merging those...
oops, i just noticed that the batterycalibration apps displays mV not mAh... so not the capacity.... so the max mV is 4200 is seems.
I'm gonna try the ninja rom just to see.
They seems to be merged on the phone, it's just that not all the contact widgets access the contacts the same way I guess.. so on some of them, it doesnt show... like on the LP people widget.
I did another reboot on the newly flashed cherrypi and again... my widgets failed to load except LP widgets... anyone knows what causes widgets not to load?
I also installed GO Launcher EX and played with switching launchers with Home Switcher... but everytime i press on "set default" in there it just crashes Home Switcher.
I will try the photo unlocker like you said and see. EDIT: photo unlocker did the trick!! thanks man!

In the stock bell ROM, you can disable data in Settings -> Data Manager -> Data Delivery. Same for roaming/background data. I can also see disabling the data roaming option in Settings -> Wireless & network settings -> Mobile Networks.

thanks, I found that in in the cherrypi based on AT&T? was under "battery and data manager" weird location ... lol
Just installed this app
http://www.appbrain.com/app/network-booster/com.dokomon.networkbooster
Is this real or not? Personally i don't think it is but if it is why don't rom builders use this?
Thanks any input would be great
btw the app did make my bars go up but then went back down.
Short answer, no it isn't real.
Proper answer... well yeah it's real and you might briefly get 1 extra bar signal. All it does is turn on airplane mode and your connection is reset. It is illegal/breach of your terms of use to actually tamper with/change the telco settings. What you can do on your phone is one thing, actually changing stuff to do with the network like the app suggest simply does not/cannot happen. Even it it did work you'd stick out like a beacon saying hey look at me I hacked your network.
for those who don't believe me download the app, start it, then home button out of it and you will see airplane mode activated - So save yourself the the time of downloading it and just flick on/off airplane mode.
Nice one dude thanks for the heads up !
I have AT&T Note, stock ICS, rooted. I have been having problem with inconsistent data connection, even though I have good AT&T signal. For example:
1). Signal is 4-5 bars
2). I CAN make phone call
3). Open browser, Gmail, etc - the "4G" icon shows it's trying to connect, but nothing happened. All the application will timed out.
I tried this in different locations (home, work, airport, etc.) and same problem.
I didn't change the APN or install custom ROM. I am trying to figure out if this is just my phone (bad radio, etc.) or a widespread, known problem for AT&T stock ICS.
Please chime in if you have the same problem.
Did you try powering down.... Then a battery pull..... Battery back in.... Reboot..... Turn off wifi... Make sure data is turned on..
Write back.... Good luck

I did try those, specifically:
1). Power down and battery pull out
2). Airplane Mode
3). Disable WiFi and BT - leave only cellular signal
The only thing I have not done is hard reset.. But before doing that (it'll take me a long time to re-configure everything), I want to get feedbacks from other first..
BTW, the ONLY thing I can think off that MAY mess up with the connection is Avast! Anti-Virus. It has a built-in firewall (root required) to prevent select apps from accessing the Internet. However, with WiFi, I have no data connection issue even with Avast! firewall running.
Un install avast and see if that helps.

I did, same thing... Can make voice call but no data. Even when I rebooted and pulled the battery. About 10 minutes later.. data magically comes back!
Does anyone else have this problem? If yes, please chime in..
I am thinking of doing hard reset. Will this make my Note lose root?

I can't reset the default APN...check I can't even edit it. I think AT&T blocked it.
Did you just get the note or did this just start happening? If you just got the phone did you buy it new or used?

you are right.. you cannot edit and change the default ATT APN....
BUT!!!
You can create a new one.... and choose the new one over the default...
you are allowed more than one APN...
Modem .....and APN settings are the most likely causes.
APN settings first of course.....g
Thanks for the suggestions.
The original APN cannot be edited, so I created a new APN and select that. When I press the "back" button and go back to the list of APN, the phone AUTOMATICALLY selected the original APN, not mine.
I selected that again, press back button and waited for 5 minutes (in case the phone trying to update whatever it needs with the new APN). Went back to the list of APN and the original APN was selected again! (???).
So I think something went awry with my phone (I already uninstalled pretty much everything), and just for a test, installed a new ROM (Padawan v7). So far so good, but I haven't done extensive testing (at home, not traveling) yet.
