Issues noticed after 3 weeks of using...

• screen goes blank after each call - you have to press on/off button twice to make screen show up and after that screen is locked
  
• sometimes it looses mobile internet connection possibility for good, it won't connect by EDGE, 3G or HSDPA until I reboot
  
• I can not install some apps from market like Google Maps or Kindle. (and few more) Download seems to start for a second indicated by an icon on bar and disappears.

1. GMail automatic update gets disabled at reboot and possibly under other conditions I'm still checking.
2. I've defined to run an application upon "menu long press". Now the "menu short press" works at random. By disabling that feature everything works back as expected.
3. With radio 5.17.05.08 I had 2G/3G data been disabled after a while. Rebooting or toggling the data off and back on solved the problem.
4. I'm now addicted with CM! :-)

This is my second CM v7.1-RC1 flashing. The first one, done with the same CM HBOOT along with the Google Apps bundle, didn't show such problems. So I suspect that there could be something weird happening during the installation process or the first boot.
I'm using 4EXTRecovery 2.1.0 and am available to switch to anything else that works.

After installing the CM 7.1RC1 rom I was unable to download a few apps, namely Google Maps and a game Robo Defense.  I eventually found that it was an issue with the /cache partition being largely full, 35Mb out of 40Mb, any app larger than 5Mb would fail.

I found after much searching that some people had found that creating a symbolic link for the /cache/downloads folder to elsewhere resolved the issue but by then I had rolled back to 7.0.3 rom.

I also tried the nightly build last night (9/7/11) which also exhibited the same issue.

Has anyone else had this?

Your 3rd issue is due to the new cache partition size, any App over 5 mb will not download.  You can get round it by changing the /cache/downloads folder to a symbolic link to elsewhere that does have space

And how is that accomplished please Richard?

This is from the user Edwinek in a different post so I won't take the credit;


In terminal emulator (start from app drawer):

mkdir /mnt/sdcard/market-download-cache
su
cd /cache
mv download download.bak
ln -s /mnt/sdcard/market-download-cache download
ls -ahl


last command should show the symlink in the listing)

I have added the download / install of large apps to the issue tracker as it didn't exist

http://code.google.c...mod/issues/list

Issue number 4200, star it if you have the same issue

That was awesome. I was almost going to ditch CM because of my need for Kindle. Seems silly to put a limit of 5MB on apps. That cuts out a fair few apps.

Hi,

i've got a strange issue with the google apps. everything else is working fine.
first time i made a complete factory reset and whipe of all caches that exist.
I installed CM7.1.0RC1 without any problem, buuut installing of google apps (google mail, google + and google maps) and oruxmaps failed (without an error display, just a short flash in the notifications and then nothing).

I made a whipe of all caches again. google mail now installs but google+ and googlemaps still fails with a error saying something about to low memory on device.
Just to mention: 90MB free system flash, 128MB RAM, and enough on the SDCARD...

I searched for *.apk's of this two apps and installed them from the files, without problem. Updates still fail with the same error...

any guesses, ideas, suggestions, fixes?

Check my post from "13 August 2011 - 12:43 PM" in this topic and you will see a link to a bug that I logged which also details a work around.

Just installed 7.1.0-RC1 on my galaxy s today. Everything is peachy. except for the fact, that i cannot setup a link to a facebook account. I can log in using the facebook app, but not setup an account to be syncronized in the phone, if you know what I mean?

Anyone else have these issues?
