What are the major issues with CM7 on the Touchpad?
Well, its an alpha port, meaning not everything is gonna work.
First of all, its not stable, some apps WILL crash, wifi settings sometimes will fail to work, fluctuating your signal. Almost every popular app seems to work now, netflix, facebook,gmail, youtube works alright, the quality of the videos is not that good but bearable. Sometimes random SoD (sleep of death) occur putting your table into a semi perm sleep stage, and you have to press the power button and home button and hold them for 20 seconds or so.
Overall, its 6/10 of what it can be. don't expect 2.3 to work as good as your phone.
The main problems for me are:
Incompatible apps, either from the resolution and screen size, or not landscape optimized.
No VOIP integration.
Video does not play, either from youtube or flash, it shows lines and other static.

The wife and I have had virtually no major problems. The biggest one was not being able to connect to wifi outside of home but that seems to be fixed with a post I found here. Otherwise its small things, occasional app crashes, the odd app that wont run. Its no different than just about any custom rom on a phone (and I have seen many). Once in a blue moon ill get a random freeze/reboot. Never had the sod problem, Netflix, YouTube, flash videos all run like butter, I can stream anything I want, really, the TP has taken over as my main home device

Thanks for the replies. I bought my TP with the intention to install Android on it. Ive been waiting for a stable release, with ICS out it will probably be another 2 mths.
The main issue ive read about is the WiFi, which is pretty critical for what I use the TP for. Why do some people have the issue and others dont? Is there something that can be done to lessen the issue?

I turned off the setting that allows the wifi to turn off when the tablet goes to sleep. I also used the SOD fix just in case as well after I installed Alpha 2. That seems to do a good job keeping it connected.
Another thing I had to do was use my wireless G signal instead of my wireless N signal (I have dual band). On wireless N, I was getting a very weak signal but with wireless G the signal was very strong. Using WebOS, the wireless N was as strong as the G so I have to assume there is something weird with CM7 for this.
My only main issue is with wi-to. It's very sporatic and frustrating. Is anyone aware of a fix? Other than, just typical issues nothing critical. It's a surprisingly stable Alpha other than that. Facebook also doesn't work for me, but not a large issue.
My major issue is that I can't connect to my work's wifi with enterprise level encryption. I once got it to connect, but webpages would only load sometimes. On my home wifi, I have no issues connecting.
The other issues I've seen are that I woke up this morning, and my Touchpad was off instead of asleep. The battery wasn't dead or anything, and it turned back on fine. When I loaded Angry Birds, it crashed twice, but the third time it worked perfectly.

Zipaligning and fixing permissions in ROM Toolbox helped a ton with crashes and FC's.

What SOD fix?
Every time I want to shutdown my TP in CM7 it gets restarted instead, and there was one time I got nut and forced shutdown it when it was booting and the system crashed. I had to uninstall and install everything which wasted my whole night in that day.....

I've run many custom ROMs on my Incredible and on my Eris, without app issues like this. The eris has a lot of apps that don't run well, but I can assure you this is not a custom ROM issue. I have yet to see an app that won't run on my incredible with custom ROMS.
BTW the wifi seems to work better for me at least with alpha 3. Before flashing alpha 3 my wifi was completely non-working, it would crash when I went into wifi settings.
I need my youtube and its not working properly on alpha 2 or 3. Once thats fixed I'm good on cm7.
But I"m still waiting for some one to do honeycombo or ICS

Hi all,
So this issue started really becoming annoying on my Fascinate with 2.2 but for awhile now, it's had this issue where I won't be touching any of the capacitive buttons on the bottom but the phone will start vibrating and acting like some of them are getting pushed. Now with 2.2, it's even more annoying because that sometimes makes it so when I go to turn off the screen, it takes a screenshot and makes the camera sound, sometimes at awkward times!
Anyway, are other people having issues with their buttons or have I dropped my Fascinate too many times?
And is there a way to disable the screenshot thing in 2.2?
Thanks!
PS. I should mention that I've been on a lot of different ROMs and had this happen, so it's not isolated to a specific one...
I've had the same problem on every rom including stock. It seems to only happen when I have a poor 3G signal, never happens while on wifi.
yeah it happens to me.
to get rid of the screen shot (i found out cuz it straight pissed me off) you go into system/app and delete screen capture.apk (not the exact name but it has screen capture in it)
that well help with that

I've had the same problem on multiple ROMs with and without WiFi connected. It seems to be my search button that gets triggered the most.
I haven't noticed it happening for the last few days with my current setup (Comm 1.2 + ED01 + Xtreme Green) but it was very random so that probably doesn't mean much.
I do notice that it happens more when my phone is in the media or car dock as well.

Yeah, it certainly is worse because of touchwiz but I'm pretty sure if I recall, last time I tried something non-touchwiz, the buttons still acted flakey...
Also, I have had bad signal where I am today and I swear the buttons have been worse than usual @AlgorithmX

I've narrowed it down to poor 3G signal as well. I was out in the woods at a Retreat recently and had the capacitive buttons pressing themselves problem. As soon as I entered an area with strong 3G signals, it stopped. Now that I am at home with full 3G signal, I don't get it at all.
Sooo obvious question: why the hell would 3g reception affect the buttons?
Do you guys use mini info? I've noticed that it only seems to occur when I have that installed...
yea this happens to me all the time in a bad service area, bouncing around from 3g, 1x, and no signal. Running the evil fascination 3.4.2 with OTB 1.3 kernel. I don't think my setup is to blame i noticed this with the last superclean in the same bad service area. Not using miui info either
I had this problem as well but it never really seemed related to signal. It would sometimes happen on different roms and kernels I would use, but not all of them. I haven't had it happen while being on ED01 and the CommRom, so I'm not sure.
My other guess is that it might be the softkey press lagging and then pressing seconds after touching them.
I had the same problem with the back button. It happened across all ROMs and even stock. I exchanged the phone out and the new one never did it. Then i dropped that one and broke the screen and had it switched again and that one doesn't do it either.

I got mine about a week after launch.
You may be on to something. I got mine on launch day.
I got mine in early october I think and just today it started doing it so bad it made the phone unusable. it took me 6 tries to get into the xda app.
the issue started recently, and right now I'm in school and its never done it in here before.
I guess it may be linked to the recent connection issues? it has definitely gotten worse, I can't even watch a youtube video now.

Have always had this issue. It certainly seems to be more noticeable in weak signal areas. I relate it to like a computer freezing up and storing commands and then when it unfreezes a barrage of button presses is released further screwing up the queue for the CPU. (And obviously causing other issues, like "stuck" touches)
I've always found that on this phone when the radios are switching on/off or to another type of service. 3g/1x the phone lags out pretty good.
I have this problem since 2.2 update. It seems to be a known problem for samsung galaxy s. Other vibrant (I9000) seems to receive softkey firmware upgrade to fix the bug.

That's a great explanation and I think is near the mark. I think the phone lags in poor signal areas and stores up the button presses. Mine hasn't done it once now that I'm at home in a major 3g area.

Do you have a link to more information on a firmware fix for other galaxy s models? I had my phone replaced under warranty because of this and now the new one is doing the same. It's really bad in low signal areas. Verizon said it's a hardware issue the first time around.
I think it may also have to do with third party chargers. Are others with this issue using generic chargers? I read an explanation somewhere that the screen is caused to short out due to increased charge rates.

I wanted to write about some of the things I face and see if others see the same thing.
Sleep death and wifi disconnects where I have to reset me connection ONLY happen when my touchpad is plugged in charging. Has anyone else tested this or have similar experience? I have been testing this over the past week or so and it holds true for me. If I let the unit sleep wether I do it auto sleeps...if its plugged in wifi needs reset and sometimes sleep death. If its on battery nothing like this ever happens.
I use a targus stylus from best buy and it works awesome. No complaints here.
YouTube for some reason works one day the next it won't. Not sure if its flash or what. Sometimes restarting helps.
Netflix works just fine using an old version
Same with Facebook
I use thumb keyboard. If you don't have you should get!
Amazon AP store works just fine no issues.
I don't play to many games but dungeon defenders works fantastic.
That's all I got for now if others have suggestions for apps or settings let me know so far I'm very much enjoying cm7 and am extremely thankful for their hardwork. I also want to thank the other devastating that were working on different projects. They deserve a shout for their dedication to

Sleep of Death
To resolve sleep of death, download "no-frill cpu" app and set profile to "powersave". I read it in this forum and it does eliminate the sleep of death ptoblem.
My only problem with CM7 on the TouchPad is that the Android Market does not see it as a tablet. I'd like to use the TouchPad as something other than simply a big phone.
So, there are some apps I boot into webOS to use (like USA Today, Sports Illustrated, and Comics HD). The only Android apps I really like using on the TouchPad are Netflix and Pulse News.
While I appreciate all the hard work the Cyanogenmod Team is putting in, I really hope ICS can be made to work on the TouchPad...
In 3 weeks of using CM7 I have never had a SOD. I wonder if my hardware is different.

Lucky u, SOD on Alpha 2.1 was a real and serious issue, thankfully now fixed.
Here's the official patch that will permanently fix the SOD problem on your TouchPad.
NB: It is recommended to wipe the dalvick/cache before to install the patch, otherwise the TouchPad might hang on bootloop.
From now on you can set the cpu minium speed when's screen off as low as 192mhz, without having to worry about getting a SOD.
One minor and a couple of major issues...
- Notification drop-down stops accepting touch input but can still be slid up and down. Reboot fixed
- Battery life is horrible. It's better with wifi set to turn off when the screen turns off, but I'm still losing about 10% per hour. With the stock 2.3.4 ROM I was able to go 16 hours and only drop to 80%. I've read maybe I need to let the battery discharge completely so that it can calibrate? I'll try that today.
- Cell connectivity is sketchy now. I've had problems making calls. Full bars, then it tries to connect and the bars drop to 0 temporarily, then come back up and the call fails. My SMS send success rate is about 75%, sometimes down to 25%. I've had multiple text messages fail to send and some texts I end up receiving minutes and sometimes hours later. This is a huge problem.
Overall I think this is a great leap forward and the phone is very fast now, but with the battery life and sketchy cell problems I may have to go back to stock.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
I wish I could get this to be stable, and I understand it's still beta, but I have to go back to stock. If I didn't need the phone and SMS functions to be reliable then I'd stick with it, but I need my phone for work.
I'll keep an eye on how things progress and maybe try again down the road, but chances are I'll be upgrading to a Galaxy Nexus in a couple of weeks anyway. At least then I can use my X2 as a toy and not care about carrier stability.
I think these problems are rare, sorry. I do share the "wifi not reconnecting" but wifi fixer is a work around. This is a super daily driver. There was a screen blackout but I found non-compatable themes to be the problem.
We need a "This works check list kind of thread" so people know what does work. FWIW.
edit
This is the best battery life I have had on any rom.
Yeah, I also had the wifi not reconnecting problem but that was trivial. I'm back to stock now, the last straw was the phone not even reconnecting to 3G, I lost all data connectivity. I could deal with the battery and such, but the cell/data connectivity problems are a definite no-go for me.

My issues are (minor):
One of my game can not be played (Siegecraft - after downloading the game data, the system ends with "network error") all my other games play fine, so I don't know why.
Gallery app constantly re-starts when trying to view pics. No work around it. If anyone can suggest a good gallery replacement app, please let me know, I tried Gallery Plus (I think that is what it is called) and it also did the same thing.
Major issue (Maybe not an issue):
My wife claims that some phone calls are not going through (it rings from her end, but I am not hearing the ringing on my phone for some reason - I had 5 missed calls listed on my phone). That said, 3 or 4 test calls I made came through without any issues so maybe it is the issue with the ringer not being high enough for me to hear?
Overall, so far, except for the missed calls (which may not be an issue at all) it is a very good daily driver and hopefully after things settle down a bit more it will get even better.
Navigation/Maps/Latitude issue with GPS
When I go into Navigation or Maps or Latitude, especially Navigation, there is a constant message at the bottom of the screen "Searching for GPS".
When looking at Maps, you see the current position but the area is in a fuzzy circle. It didn't happen when I was on stock rooted 2.3.4.
I did see an option to use an external BT GPS but the external is not enabled.
Any ideas?

I had this same problem, reboot fixed but only temporarily as it returned last night again. As of right now I can't get the notification bar drop down to accept input without a reboot. I'm borderline on this being a showstopper as I live off of the notification bar...
I've poured through the settings, but haven't found anything that fixes it. I have the notification bar power widget turned on, turning that off hasn't made a difference either. I'm going to leave it off and reboot, and see if it comes back.
Do you have the notification power widget turned on?
For everyone having problems with CM7, I HIGHLY recommend going in and wiping both cache and dalvik-cache. (Not a data wipe.) This has fixed pretty much every problem I have run into with CM7.
Now for downloading large files, I have found that I have to use tasker to create a "power profile" that never turns off the screen. I do not have the WIFI loosing connection issue that has been reported, however I have noticed (on stock as well) that when the screen times out, downloads all fail or stop. Just my 2 cents.

I would like to report the only problem I have had with CM7 on my DX2 is one of my apps not restoring data I backed up before flashing. Other than that, I LOVE THIS ROM! I used this ROM on my old Dinc and absolutely loved it then too. I feel at home with CM7, and since this is only a beta version, I can't wait for the final release!

I have never run the liberty rom but i do recommend cm7. The only issue I've had is with wifi. It loses connection sometimes. I downloaded wifi fixer from the market. It doesn't fix the problem but it does reconnect wifi for me. Some have this problem and some don't.
Make a nandroid and give it a try. If you don't like it you can always go back to liberty.

Well, I went and reinstalled CM7 last night. I was diligent about clearing both caches both before and after install, and again a little later after reinstalling apps, plus I also cleared the battery stats.
Don't want to jinx it, but so far so good. Battery life has been very good, I easily went 16 hours and the battery was still > 50%. No call or SMS issues and no notification bug yet. We'll see how things work over the next couple of days...
I've got horrid battery life (down to 60% in 5 hours of LOW use) and some wifi issues (sometimes has a hard time connecting, sometimes not).
I'm going to try the davlic and cache wipe and report back.
Hey guys,
tried to search if any other problems like this exist...
My WiFi seems to be disconnecting often... Meaning it still shows as connected, but it wont load internet pages or download anything / stop at some time downloading.
Now i tried to look at my WiFi with WiFi analyzer... at it seems that I am on the best channel for my area... but still... I also tried 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz same results it seems...
I am not happy with it... it seems so unstable, that even at home often i use 3G just because it doesn't crash that much... if the WiFi works i get great speeds though... but it seems like a hit and miss....
any idea?

I just updated the firmware on my router as well. Well check back after a couple days but so far so good
Wi-Fi not the greatest for me either. Running a WRT54GL which is one of the most rock solid routers ever with Tomato never have issues with it on my 3D or any other devices. Having similar issues you are having. Sometimes just not staying connected even though it shows connected. Other times no wi-fi on when I wake the phone. I'm guessing it's bugs other people have reported similar problems. Going to see how it performs after the next OTA update I'm hoping they fix some stuff. Also I hope they fix the very annoying set time zone message. Not sure what caues that but you are certainly not alone with the wi-fi issues.
I currently have mine set to 2.4Ghz only not auto since I don't use N for my phone there is no need for it and it sucks more battery at least it did on my 3D.
I would just hang tight and see what the next OTA brings.
This is disturbing. There seems to be a great deal of variation in build quality (i.e. Wifi issues, screen light bleed, data issues, etc.). I have had none of these issues with my phone. However, multitasking is a joke, and google wallet is broken after working previously. My phone is none stock at this point.

Just throwing in my experience for the record...
I'm a network administrator for a living so I know a few things about making wifi work. In a nutshell my Evo LTE will not maintain a stable conneciton to *any* wifi N network under any settings. I've tried mutiple routers and multiple ROMs for my phone and none would work properly. I'll spare you the details but channels, encryption, spectrum, root, preamble... nothing would work on N.
WiFi G = rock solid
WiFi N = sucks more than Paris Hilton
Since I concluded that G works perfectly I've just made sure to stick with G networks. Not worth fighting Sprint for a new phone that may very well do the same thing for me. :victory:
Not sure if you guys are having the same issue I've been experiencing, but my wifi issues have went away since using Mozilla firefox. I messed with my router settings, used 2.4 ghz, 5ghz, wifi n, wifi g, different security configurations, a bunch of different wifi apps, just about every browser on the market and as odd as it sounds, only Mozilla has solved my problem. If I use any other browser, I get hang-ups and phone gives me the impression that wifi isn't working. I don't know why or how mozilla works great while all other browsers' performance is inconsistent and frustrating but its a fact. I strongly recommend anyone with "wifi problems" give mozilla a try.
has anyone found a solution to this wifi issue?
i can connect to my home router with no problem, very stable. but outdoors, on cablewifi, or optimumwifi the connection is terrible. the signal shows connected, but there is no data being uploaded or downloaded. i think it might have something to do with channel congestion, but my friends iphone has no issues whatsoever.
so whats the deal with the evo's wifi radio???
1.) Chrome is highly unstable and crashes often even after install/uninstall/reinstall.
2.) My phone is having major issues staying connected to my home WiFi. It connected last night for a while and then won't connect anymore. I've tried rebooting, forgetting and reconnecting to my network but it's not working. I may have to take it back!... grrrr
Has anyone else noticed these issues?

I like the stock browser, just miss the Chrome browser integration between mobile/PC.
To my knowledge the stock browser won't do this.
I believe Chrome causes crashes for me as well. It could be my keyboard as it happens when I copy and paste with my keyboard. Boat Browser wipes the floor with Chrome on all counts apart from the eye-candy animation.
Zero Chrome issues here
what kinda router do you have?

It seems to be working intermittently now which is better than before.. My GNex and S3 have zero issues staying on wifi so not sure what would be different with this phone.
Chrome performs perfectly for me. No problems on wifi here either.
...my $.02
No Problems with chrom here and to be honest i think it runs better than stock. no issues with Wifi either
has anyone tried running Browsermark on both Chrome and the stock browser? it runs pretty decent on Chrome and gets a good score, but becomes hella laggy on the stock browser and gets a horrible score. anyone else see this?
I have to agree with the Chrome issue. Today I was trying to show my sister how much nicer than her S3 my new DNA was and I took both phones to this graphic intense website, mine loaded everything first but hers was scrolling much much better. I couldn't understand why mine was sucking so badly. She was using Chrome on her phone and so was I. Decided to open the same website on the stock browser and it started scrolling very smoothly as well.
I too have the problem now that Stock works better but I really enjoy the way Chrome lets me open my PC bookmarks and lets me open up whatever I have open on my other computers.
I did have a couple of issues today with the phone. While I was visiting my sister I found the phone to have no signal at all a few times. This is not something that ever happens in her house. I would say maybe Verizon was having issues but her Verizon S3 was working fine.
At another point in the day while sitting at the table talking I heard the "DROID" notification go off. I'm the only one with a Droid there so I knew it was my phone. I pick it up, unlock it and there are no notifications at all... This happened 3 times. . . The phone also had a horrible signal at this other house so I figured maybe it had something to do with the bad signal.
I've noticed really slow speeds with my wireless at work. No issues at home though. I can only get about 200kb down/up at work, but normal 15mb down at home. No one else was seeing any speed issues on their phones. Work uses Linksys wireless access points throughout the building. Didn't matter which one I was connected to. Haven't noticed any connectivity issues, it always connects quickly and holds a connection. And as far as vzw signal, this phone is much better than my GS3. Getting 2 bars of 4g at home now, where the GS3 stays on 1 bar of 3g.

To Fix Wifi issue
Just click the name of you're home wifi network and select forget then connect to it back again then re enter your password... It works for me... I noticed at first.... that my Droid DNA somehow hacked to my WiFi routers even it's WPA password protected....It connected at first without requiring a password.....sounds kinda strange but it really happened. After few day's then I started to get the wifi issues..."even it's connected to my router" it won't allow internet access... Just follow the steps...I hope it helps >
I was having a similar issue where wifi was dropping and reconnecting. I read elsewhere that a reboot of the router would help. I tried this yesterday and it seems to be OK since.
