Just wondering if anyone has anything (good/bad) to report about the OTA update. Figure this would be a good place to post those issues for the people who are still hesitant about updating. I have the 2.1 v3 non-root and have yet to update. Thanks.
Having issues with 2.1 I can't find ANY HTC widgets. Tried to reload the digital clock with the weather app at the bottom and realized the phone doesn't have any HTC widgets, only shows the android native widgets. Anybody else having this problem, got any advice how to solve this?
I just manually updated to 2.1 (Official) and now my weather app doesn't work. Widgets are ok, just opening the app causes a force close. Any way to fix this? Might call customer support tomorrow and tell them the OTA got to me and it won't work now.
From what I've seen around a reboot might fix that if you haven't tried that already

Haha thanks, but I've tried it several times. Also, the recovery doesn't work with the official update.zip. I'm assuming that it's because the versions are the same, but if it says RECOVERY then I'm wondering why it won't RECOVER like I'm trying to do now. Any other ways to reinstall the OTA?
I manually updated my wife's around 10 am today and about 3 hours ago, she started havin no sound issues. couldnt hear through the earpiece, phone vibrates instead of rings, speaker will not play volume. I have tried everything. Making sure all settings are in place like volume TTY. Reboot fixes it for about five minutes then right back to the same thing. Hard resetting now. If it still does it I'll probably take it in and demand a new one i guess...lol
EDIT: Should I have to reprogram on a hard reset after this update? Hmm somethings not right about that...
Ive had no problems with the OTA. I went from stock 1.5 to OTA 2.1
It seems that people with leaked 2.1 v3 won't get the ota. My friend has an Eris with 1.5 and just got
it but I didn't.

I don't think anyone who is running any leaked version is getting an update right now. There is an issue with the hboot versions it seems.
Don't worry, two things have been confirmed.
First the OTA will not work with the leaked ROMs installed.
Second, the OTA is exactly the same as the 2.1 leak v3.
This was confirmed on Android forum by someone that took the time to compare every single file and CRC the binaries. The only difference was that the leaked ROMs use a different bootloader to install as they did and the actual OS and apps are exactly the same so if you got leak v3 you got the OTA.
The OTA won't install because you are already running it.
if you have rooted 2.1 (test keys) and you downgrade to back to 1.5 any one if this will allow you to get the OTA update? i installed the rooted 2.1 (test keys) but never installed a custom ROM (the second half of the directions on XDA forum) and I still haven't received the update. but I was thinking of downgrading to 1.5 to see if i can get the update.
anyone having problems with live wallpapers on 2.1? or was this not included with the 2.1 for eris?

Unfortunately it wasn't included.
just found out about 2.1 this morning...
I'm a verizon rep for an authorized premium retailer, and one of my customers came up to me today with her eris complaining about all her contacts being gone and her album not being there... her exact words: "What happened??? I clicked the update thingy and now half my ****'s gone!" Personally I laughed slightly, then checked the software version, found it updated to 2.1 and figured the deal. Her sound is working fine, she now has a couple more widgets she wont know how to operate, and albums is now "photos", and contacts is now "People". also required a resync to get her contacts back, but now she's golden.

Quick question about TaskBar (process killer) widget. Anybody know how to program it to ignore certain processes? Like sense... I tried using it but it killed sense every time. Along with mail and the weather process, which I don't care so much about, waiting for sense to reboot every time is a serious pita though...
I previously had 1.5 stock eris. I downloaded the official OTA zip and manually installed it. I had a few issues at first.
1. I had Spare Parts installed and had set my End key to first goto home screen and then lock. 2.1 did not like that setting and so my end key wouldn't do anything except turn it on from sleep and end a call until I changed the setting to just lock the phone.
2. Couple apps wanted to be updated to a new version after installing 2.1 before they would work.
3. Here is my unresolved issue - All my apps that I had installed before 2.1 no longer have write access to my SD card.
For example Astro File Manager showed my permissions on /sdcard as dr-. Reloading the card, rebooting, etc did not fix the issue. Uninstalling and reinstalling seems to have fixed the issue.
Why did this happen in the first place and is there an easier fix than uninstalling/reinstalling all my apps?
I've had the same disappearing HTC widget issue as was mentioned earlier, but a reboot (with a battery pull) didnt fix the problem. Is a hard reset my only option?
my girlfriend installed the OTA and now only the stock ringtones work when receiving a call- she set up custom ringtones for a few contacts, but if they call, the default ringtone rings.
I was running the leaked 2.1 eris rom on a MyTouch 3g and had the same issue, so i'm guessing it's not an easy fix. anyone else seeing this?
2.1 OTA back to 1.5
Hi everyone, I had many problems with 2.1 I manually installed 2.1 OTA from 1.5. everything went smooth, once running first thing i notice I click on the HTC clock weather, and it force closes, ok great, found a trick to delete the cache for weather provider, boom works, then i find out I do infact have the 50% time without signal issue, well I figured it wasn't too big of a deal, but after basically cutting my time in half going from 2 days no charge, to barely making one day, and I've heard that it would just take time as it did when first getting the phone.. which makes sense as it was the case with 1.5, week later not much improvement, so..
I would just like to comment on my experience. It went so smooth, it was in-fact easier to set back to 1.5 than it was to initially, manual install the OTA 2.1... I downloaded the MR2 file, unzipped the file, went through the computer on screen step-by-step process, Took less than 10 minutes, and of coarse as soon as turning the phone back on with 1.5 I see the OTA msg. I'm, just praying it doesn't get too annoying..
I'll preface with this:
1. I am not a dev.
2. I don't intend to take credit away from any of the CM7 devs.
3. I don't intend to take credit for any of the solutions posted here.
I like to keep up with the main thread, but it has become a little unruly, with the same questions being asked and answered repeatedly. I was thinking we could keep this thread as something of a troubleshooting thread, with known problems and solutions in the OP, in an attempt to keep the main CM7 thread (here) a bit more organized for dev related stuff.
Mods, if this thread is in the wrong forum or inappropriate, feel free to deal with it accordingly.
OK:
----------
CM7 for Thunderbolt
Current Version: RC1.4 (MR2/2.5 Radio Only)
Merged to Mainline: No
Wipe Required: No if upgrading from RC1.2 or RC1.3 (although if you are having ANY problems, first troubleshooting step is to reinstall following a complete wipe). Yes if you are coming from ANY OTHER PREVIOUS VERSION OR ROM
Problems With Known Fixes
Problem:
I just installed CM7, where is the Market?!
Solution:
Not a problem, you just have to install gapps.
- Easiest way is to download and install through ROM Manager: Rom Manager -> Download ROM -> Google Apps.
- Alternatively, you can download and install manually. Link. Flash using Recovery.
Problem:
GPS is not getting a fix
Solution:
1. Be sure that you are on RC1.2, and that you did a full wipe prior to installing.
2. Backup CM7 in Clockwork Recovery.
3. Do a full wipe.
4. Flash a Sense based ROM, such as BAMF.
5. Boot into the Sense based ROM that you flashed in Step 4, and obtain a GPS fix.
6. While your GPS is locked, reboot to recovery. (Hold Power -> Reboot to Recovery)
7. Do a full wipe.
8. Restore the CM7 backup you made in step 1.
9. Boot into CM7. Your GPS should now be working.
Problem:
Inaccurate signal bars/I only have two bars on LTE
Solution:
FIXED ON RC1.3
Problem:
Non-GPS geolocation is (very) inaccurate
Solution:
wraithdu said:
The inaccurate non-GPS location can be fixed by turning on WiFi (does not need to be connected, just ON). Obviously a temporary fix, but works for me - I can get location now in Beautiful Widgets, SiMi Clock, The Weather Channel, and the browser. I increased my WiFi scan interval to 3 minutes to try and help battery. But it beats getting the weather for Guam.

Problem:
Choppy Netflix playback
Solution:
Netflix now has official Thunderbolt support. Install the updated Netflix App from the Market.
Problem:
Unlock lag and/or no backlit softkeys
Solution:
Turn off auto brightness, should take care of both of these issues. (thanks to Mustang302LX)
Problems With Fixes of Questionable Effectiveness
Problem:
Problems with in-browser flash
Solution:
chmod 000 /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data
Varying reports of this working/not working
Problem:
Low volume
Solution:
Since perception of volume is subjective, it's difficult to say whether or not this is a true problem, and whether or not it's been fixed. Slayher has stated that it's been fixed since one of the earlier releases. Another possible solution is here (credit to utkanos), which has been used with varying results - again, volume perception is subjective.
Problem:
Included wireless tethering not working
Solution:
From what I've seen, you will be able to connect to the wireless network, but you will not be able to obtain an IP address. I have found that forcing an IP release/renew upon connecting generally takes care of this problem. On Windows, this can be done with the following:
1. Start -> Run -> "cmd"
2. ipconfig /release
3. ipconfig /renew
Problems Without Known Fixes
Problem:
Streaming audio over bluetooth is choppy
----------
OK, post problems (and fixes, if there are any) and I'll do my best to keep the OP updated in an attempt to keep the main dev thread more organized. When posting an issue, please include:
CM7 version
Kernel
Radio
Wipe
all aosp roms including gingerbread roms reads data strength instead of cellar radio strength. that's why it appears to have less bars. if you search there are mods i believe to give you the appearance of higher signal strength on the forums here.
cm7 and Netflix issues
I believe this is a CM7 issue, as it only happens with is rom and previous versions but I'm not sure if its FPS or just choppiness but Id like to get this fixed other fixes like chmod 000 have not worked.
On a different note I would like to thank everyone involved with CM7 its by far the best ROM.
Thank You Devs.

This is also true for embedded flash videos. If I use the chmod 000 it skips if I go above 360 but it works. Older versions don't let me go above 360 because the video menu, it just closes whenever I open it.
The one issue that bugs me the most about this ROM is that it does not find my location correctly. Not talking about GPS because that works perfectly, but how I'm found through the network does not work. Google Maps works perfectly at finding my location but apps like fancy widget and even google.com locate me in different places.
I live in Buffalo, NY but my phone insists I move frequently around the world. First I'm in Fort Wayne, IN, then Houston, TX, then Nairobi, Kenya, and sometimes in Lawndale, CA.
Something's wrong and no one seems to have a fix that'll work for me. I'm assuming that's cause no one cares about it because its so miniscule.
Tried different radios and GPS status but nothing has worked.
Fix? Slayher?
I am absolutely loving this rom, I flashed it on my girls Droid x and instantly had to have it on my tbolt. GPS works great, more than great, and no other issues except two things.
First, when streaming Pandora or slacker through bt the skip like crazy, but when played through the phones speaker they're fine. No big deal.
Secondly I must be doing something wrong because my battery life is terrible. I have an extended battery that the phone ate through in 8 hours moderate use. And my stock battery is dropping about 30% an hour...
I'm not a noob with screen time out to 10 mins and brightness all the way up, so its got to have something to do with my CPU settings. I'm using set CPU to over clock to 1450. Tried different goveners. I assume there's different kernels out there I'm gonna have to try out, what kernel is included? Running mr2 ota

Volume is too low. Volfix. Zip hasnt worked for me. Otherwise Cm7 is flawless.
Yes i cleaned my ears.
Suggestions?

What rom were you running before, and did you wipe?
In any case, easiest solution would be to install GAPPS from ROM Manager.
Can't seem to connect to my home wifi network. Anyone else experience this issue?
From looking through the main thread, saw one suggestion, which didn't work for me: post 7360
OTA MR2; full wipe; RC1.1; gapps; set up accounts; cache wipe; RC1.2

Try a full wipe before installing 1.2. I believe that was recommended by slayher.
Is it only your home wifi, or are you having trouble with all wifi connectivity?
problem: voice to text works intermittently and not at all with any background noise
corrective solutions taken that haven't corrected problem: installed talkback, kickback and google voice search.
CM 1.2
OTA radio
stock kernel
full partition wipe, also formatted SD prior to install

Installed CM7 and purchased ROM Manager Premium. I enabled advanced mode in settings. But I still can't download Cyanogenmod ROMs via ROM Manager? It doesn't appear in the list. Anyone have a similar problem, and preferably a solution? What's going on? Thanks.

it's not officially supported by cyanogenmod yet, therefore you can't obtain it via ROM manger.
you can find CM 1.2 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049542
make sure you download the ROM and the Gapps

I'm interested to know the answer to this battery issue. Which kernel is best for battery life/stability? I'm running stock right now, but I really haven't ran it long enough to get good usage stats.
just got the new market and after it updated i'm not getting any internet connections from the market or from browsing with the browser. i can browse the market but i can't download any app.
i uninstalled the new update and had to restart the phone to get everything back to normal, but after exiting the market and going back in, it's updated again.
any of you guys get this?
The data problem is a known issue. Never heard of it re-installing itself though.
anything that i can do to get data connection back?
are you on froyo (4.1.83), updated via OTA to gingerbread, or installed gingerbread manually via unlocking your bootloader?
If you are on radio .30, try downgrading to .15. I am currently on .30 but i think that radio is causing issues.
I fix it by enabling Airplane mode and then disabling it. It resets the radio and the downloads continue. Garbage, but whatever.
The new market is def the culprit for crappy network connection! Someone else posted about this, and how to fix and it's absolutely solved my issues! The solution? Go into SETTINGS, APPLICATIONS, ALL, click on MARKET and then "uninstall upgrade". It reverts back to older market style, but alleviates all the network connection problems.
~Sent from My Unlocked Atrix 4g~
i'm on official OTA update gingerbread. didn't root.
except by uninstalling the update, the update will continue to install once you exit the old market.
i guess it's either something that either moto has to fix or google themselves. this is ridiculous.
moto is pushing the new market to all devices now,so if you revert,it trys to reupdate
Sucks knowing that it still does this on official 2.3.4 and with official market update. I love the market look but can't use it.

Try creating a new APN with the same HSDPA settings you currently have.
(APN - phone, MCC - 310, MNC - 410, APN type - default,supl,agps,fota,dun, everything else not set.)
Guys, I'm trying to help out my dad. He has an Atrix, stock unrooted and locked. He updated to 2.3.4 last week. When he installed the new market, he says it signed him out of Google Talk and other apps, and he starts getting lots and lots of Force Closes. I had him "uninstall updates" to revert and the problems went away. Then he tried again and the same issues happened. He can uninstall updates again I guess, but eventually he's going to need the new market, right? Anyone else have this problem?
looks like the new market is causing network connection problems. not sure if there is a cure for this yet. either the new gingerbread ota is causing issues or the new market is causing the issues.
hopefully we get an update from moto or google updates the market with some bug fixes.
Yeah really not impressed with the market... im sure the bugs will get fixed soon though. It has potential.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Yeah I just had my dad test it on WiFi and the problem disappeared. Thanks for the info.
i've noticed that once the phone goes to sleep everything is fine. apps that were selected that failed to download will download while the phone is asleep.
just wish either moto or google would have tested out the new market a bit better.
I would try to find a program that can "freeze" the market updater. You can do it with TItanium Backup but you need to be rooted. I think it will only updat via WiFi so I downloaded everything I needed, then froze the updater and never had an issue. The new market is a pain in the rom.

1) This is not helpful after several hours and two pages of activity.
2) The only other thread with "Market" in the title on the first three pages of the general forum or the Q&A forum is one [Q] thread about how to keep the old market, and it's a) not really the same topic as this thread, and b) newer than this thread.
So.... yeah. Cheers to you too.
Reset via airplane mode works for me
Like "ecapox" on page 1 said, just reset the radio put putting phone in airplane mode and then out.
Interestingly, you only need to do it once. After that, the data connection is still good even with reboot.
Enjoy.
How do you get the new market?

Hi all.
So, i have my Razr for a couple of weeks now, Webtop was working ok, i've tested two times with the stock system and had no problems at all.
Now after rooting i can't use the Webtop feature anymore, when i plug in the HDMI cable (with the original webtop accessory, no hack) on the TV and i choose WEBTOP the screen goes to a Motorola "sparkling" logo and it stays there forever, nothing happens.
All other features are fine, MIRROR, GALERY, MUSIC, all works fine, but WEBTOP just hangs.
In the logs i found something that could be interesting:
E/HDMI_HW (1023)
hdmiHW_getEdidBlock: Error reading EDID block 0 (5)
W/HDMI_OMAP (1023)
hdmiOmap_readEdid: RETRY (5)
Has anyone encountered any problems with Webtop after rooting?
Just to clarify i used the runme.bat method for rooting, and did nothing else with the phone, did not remove any bloatware, nothing on system, just the usual, installed Titanium Backup, Adfree, Root Explorer and Barnacle Wi-Fi Tether.
Thanks in advance for any help guys.
I don't have any issue.
I have an Atrix LapDock and no issues.
I do notice that the startup takes longer.
That's weird.
I don't think rooting should be an issue when it comes to use the Webtop feature.
But if it's not a rooting issue it probably is some app that it's not letting Webtop launch properly.
Can anyone with a rooted Razr confirm that Webtop is working without problems???
Does anyone know about any App conflict with Webtop???
Thanks in advance for any answer guys.
If a system app was froze that needs it. That can cause it to not work.
Yeah, i know, but i did not froze anything.
I tried without the Webtop accessory using Nebtop, cause i thought it could be something wrong with it, but still a no go.
It is probably some app that i installed and changed something at the Webtop partition or some app is denying access to webtop.
I wish i know what could have cause this.
I had the same issue, Webtop worked fine until I rooted my Razr then when I tried to launch it the phone froze up. More specifically, the Moto logo appeared on both screens then did nothing. When I un-docked the phone it went to the phones home screen but then froze up. I hard-booted the phone, and once it restarted Webtop is working fine???
So, I would like to get to the bottom of this for anyone else having this issue. I am going to post every change I've made since first successfully testing the app. If you would post your changes, as well as any other member having this issue we could probably figure it out.
- Razr received firmware update
- Tested Webtop successfully
- Rooted phone with DoomLords method v3 (installed SuperUser)
- Installed ROM Toolbox Pro
- Backed up all icons, boot animation, fonts, etc.
- Changed the minimum CPU slider from 300 to 600
- Installed SQLite Editor
- Changed the 'Entitlement Check' value to open Mobile Hotspot capabilities
- Installed Dolphin Browser HD (as well as multiple addons for it)
- Installed Brightest Flashlight Free
- Installed Barcode scanner (for use with a Dolphin addon)
- Installed RedLaser
- Installed Dropbox
- Installed Evernote
- Installed Go Launcher EX (as well as a few themes and widgets (all made by the GL Dev Team)
- Installed Minimalist Text and added a clock and a date widget to my HS
- Installed Movies by Flixter
- Installed PayPal
- Installed Installed Screenshot UX Trial
- Installed Worms
- Installed WifiKill
Changes in bold are ones that I think are pertinent. Hope we can get this sorted out, try hard booting the device. Maybe it will work for you as well.

Interesting...
I thought i was the only one having this problem.
So let me tell you my history.
Bought the razr, and tested fine, webtop working as it should. Three days later i used the runme.bat method to root the device, then installed the usual:
Titanium Backup (Did not do any backups or frozed any apps)
Adfree
Barnacle (Already deleted)
Root Explorer
Seek Droid
Dropbox
And some other games and not so relevant apps.
The one i think it could be causing the trouble and had my eyes on it since this problem begun was Go Launcher EX, since you have it too it could be the one to look at.
Other then that, i don't have any custom rom, system is pretty much from factory, whats diferent is my image is Latam since i live in Brazil.
And i did change the boot animation for the Droid one, but changed back to original didnt work.
Like i said, maybe Go Launcher is the one to look at, it could possibly be denying access to enter into the Webtop desktop. Since i'm alway from home now for the new year, i can't test anything right now.
If you test anything on your side, please update us here.
Thanks.
To clarify, once I hard(soft?)-booted the phone it worked fine.
It's funny, my first instinct was to ask you if you were using GL EX as well but I figured I would save time and just list everything.
Once I get home from work I will test it again.
Out of curiosity, had you turned off the phone since installing GL EX? Since it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for it to start working for me after a reboot I am wondering if maybe the phone just needs to restart after installing GL EX for it to work properly, let me know.
Blake
I don't know what you mean by "hard reset" the phone. If you mean turn it off and on again, I did that several times already, but still not working. If you mean anything else other then tun it off and on again please I would like you to explain what you did.
What can I try when I get home is to uninstall GL EX and see what happens. Out of curiosity, what version of GL EX are you using?
Thanks.
Webtop works fine for me- My Razr is rooted, has the most current update and has the usual suspects (apps) frozen. I use Launcher Pro.
The one catch is I have the Atrix lapdock and not a VZW one. I just now tested it and used it 15 minutes. Reason was I did not recall using it since updating and rerooting, so thought I might be in your company.
Working fine and easily the best bargain purchase ($65) for me to date
I do not have the tether flag set to zero like some apparently do (not needed it yet).
Mine works fine using the HD dock and the Nebtop mod. Rooted with the new update.

Never know what can break function when changed, since we may assume some tasks impact nothing, but end up being the failed link in the chain.
Google Now worked correctly on my phone, until 1st of August. Since then, it is having a strange problem. Not just voice, even if I try to search using text (typing it into the box), it briefly shows the results and crashes immediately. Its not a 'crash' as such, it just shows the home screen directly, and no force close or not responding message.
Anyone else experiencing this? What could be the problem?
ROM: CM10 latest build - tried reinstalling, tried installing older build but no luck
EDIT: Fixed it!! Under "Phone Search", you'd need to disable one (or more) options in order to make it work correctly. For me, it was Google Chrome. Its working fine now.
I had the same problem of it not showing up after my GApps flash. Caught unaware, I started installing/updating the Google Apps, then saw this thread and reflashed the proper GApps file. Unfortunately, that caused all sorts of weirdness. What I found to work after everything was to reflash JB, reboot back into recovery, and flash GApps IMMEDIATELY after the JB flash. Now I have Google Now with all my apps. No special settings changes or anything. It just works now.

I am having the exact same issue, with the exception that I tried disabling everything under phone search, and it still crashes immediately
I can open google now but as soon as I start to type it closes (similar to OP, no FC message or anything, just back to the homescreen). I can't even click settings within google search (same result, just closes). I think it was working after upgrading to JB. I think it started to act weird after integrating with my system rom using Titanium Backup. I don't think there's a way to de-integrate, is there?
Do you think installing the APK on top would help? Or do I need to start over?
Also, FWIW, I'm on the moto droid razr maxx HD, so this sounds like a software, not hardware, issue.

By the way this is a Galaxy S2 forum.... You should go to your specific device section to post.
