[Q] Problems with CyanogenMod 7 (mesmerizemtd)

I have a US Cellular Mesmerize and I recently installed CyanogenMod 7 (mesmerizemtd).
I am having the following problems and was wondering if it is just me:
1) USB mass storage doesn't work most of the time. If I connect my Mesmerize to my computer using the USB cable it will charge but it won't connect to the SD card and USB debugging doesn't appear.
2) LED flashlight apps don't work
3) Wi-fi hotspot doesn't work. I can get ad-hoc apps working but not the included hotspot.
I did a backup in cwm recovery before installing, can I restore this to go back to Froyo? And then can I go back to CyanogenMod by restoring another backup?

The flashligh apps won't work right now. They are still working on that.
The usb issue. Try installing the nexus drivers. If that doesn't fix it try a different usb cable
The wifi hotspot I have no idea as I personally never use it. I'm sure someone else will chime in with ideas for it though.

+1 to scarmon... cm7 uses nexus s USB drivers so install those. torch is not working yet but will come in a nightly eventually.
As for wifi hotspot, it doesn't work with the built in one. I've had no problems running as ad-hoc with wireless tether and with barnacle tether.

ongoing CM7 issue
I'm having quirky issues as well:
Can't stream for very long, not related to the screen timeout. It tends to be more aligned with a weak signal. I didn't have this problem with PnP or Heinz so I know it's not the location since I've always had a decent signal. I've tried *228 and reflashed multiple times and tried the 3 different governor settings with no difference.
Also related to this (I assume): my screen jumps back and forth and the keyboard posp up/disappears regularly with a low signal.
I like the ROM, speed, and options CM7 has provided but I need to stream since I commute 1 1/2 hrs to work!
Not complaining but I just wanted to discuss with others some issues and hopefully help each other out.
Thanks for the effort everyone puts into the community!

Are you us cellular or cell south. If uscc. See if its set to automatic under mobile networks. If cell south. Leave it on home only

As far as I know the Rom shouldn't impact your signal but I could be wrong. Your using the same radio as you did before. Try pulling the battery for 30 seconds or so and give it another try. Supposedly this reconnects your phone to the network with a fresh connection. Don't know if it's just tech BS or not but it seems to help me.

From the reading I've done its not BS. It resets some of the small componets that get trapped or gated or something. Apparently only removing all power for an extended period of time can fix this. Since finding this out I do it about once or twice a week. May be why I very rarely have issues. I don't know. Could just be luck

I could make it longer. I'm sure I could find some **** to add in there. I will browse the forums for ideas of what else to put in there.

You should put all of your glitch voodoo color and voltage settings, that would rock.

I tried the battery pull but didn't know it needed to be an extended period of time. Works like a charm for streaming now. I do still get the keyboard pop up when I'm at work because of the weak signal but no biggie. No other issues that no one else hasn't mentioned, but well worth the risk for the battery life and speed. As always, you guys kick a$$!

Anyone else haveing problems getting data to work right on eaglesblood ROMS?

So you may have read in my last thread that I was haveing problems with eaglesblood its ashamed too because it really is a kick ass ROM but i think it needs some work. No matter what I do I keep loosing my data conection. I just Installed Bionex and it runs great and it had no problem connecting to the network but it doesnt have the cool tweeks that EB has. I think I am going to try cm7 though. The things I really want are first the power controls in the notification bar that was kick ass nex profiles I liked that the ability to customize the lockscreen that was cool too.
I would like to know if it is just me or if others are having this problem too. There has got to be something I am doing wrong I doubt they put out a ROM that has that many problems and All I hear is good thyings about EB so it has to be me. Please someone help me fix this because I am tired of dam stock GB Help Help Help!!!!!

it happens to me too, i just power phone off and on it comes back.

yeah it only happens the first time I power off or reboot after install the rom I see there is a new thread today about data not working on ROMS based on 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 but it works fine on 2.3.3 what I did was a hard reboot and it started working again.

[Q] What ROM will make my Charge work like I need!?

I'm just so effin fustrated cause this crap is getting old. ALL I WANT IS A PHONE THAT DOES WHAT IS SAYS! Stock was crap, so I rooted. Now the Roms I've tried are way above what stock was. I'm gratefull to all the Devs that make this all possible. I'm in no way upset with all their hard work. They've worked hard to improve the crappy stock ROMs. Here's a list of my probs...and this is common with ALL ROMS, stock, custom, bloated, debloated, odexed, deodexed, w/ voodoo, w/out voodoo. most of my probs are with the net.
4g freezes...I get constant hiccups when I need the net the most. I just want it to work all the time..jebus!
HotSpot freezes...this is caused by the problem above. Now I pay for hot spot and use the App, and since rooted I use WiFi tether. Still same prob. My PC loads pages fast and DL quickly, then all of a sudden...nothing. I have to cycle Airplane mode. This is just getting old already...just work like it does in the damn commercials!
SiriusXM....I love listening to it. I listen in the car, but when I have a 4G hicupp, music is gone...cycle airplane mode...or restart cause the App gets frozen as well. The app works by DL about 5 mins of airplay at a time...I get stops and freezes when it does that too.
Madden 12 not smooth...why have a game compatable with a phone that doesn't work properly? BS...
Same with Skype...never works like it should.
I just want my phone, apps, and internet to work when I need it. IS that too much to ask? I can never catch a break. Right now I'm on HumbleComb 4.0. So far this is the best ROM I've had. Still have same probs, but they happen fewer than with other ROMS...
I never tired Darkcharge cause it didn't have the toolbox. Now that it does I might try it. Should I? Or should I wait for the new 2.3.5 that P3 has been saying is the best Stock ROM beating out MotoBionic, and HTC Tbolt?
Anyone else have all these issues? Am I too picky? Just wanted to vent my frustration and see if other experience the same.

Check your PM.

sucks to hear you're having these problems but a lot of them are hardware/software related an not fixable as of yet, there is a huge issue with data connectivity on the Charge which seems to be the huge deal and the GB leaks are full of bugs (and not officially supported yet which is why there's problems with apps/games on GB)... the only thing I could suggest is Imnuts Infinity rom, I had maybe 1 little issue the whole time I ran it which I unfortunately can't say about the other roms
blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge

The best luck I've had is with the ep1w leak that I manually de-bloated, and zipalign using the ron toolbox. Also installed immuts repacked 2.3.5 voodoo kernal. Runs smooth. I can't remember my last force close or restart since I've been on this set up. Also using launcher pro plus

Thanks for the replys...I will try what has been suggested... still I hope when we finally get an official update(2.3.5)...and the ROMs that follow that..

New Baseband Signal Loss

Not sure what is happening, but I constantly lose data signal either completely (with an X in place of the signal strength), or just the data like internet and email (but can still make phone calls and texting).
I'm using v21y with various ROMs, I have the new baseband fix that I'm flashing after whatever ROM i'm installing. The data drop will last for minutes, or until I restart the phone, or it will be gone until it decides to come back.
lastly I haven't received an email on my phone (but I have on my computer) since I've updated the baseband and started flashing ROMs. I'm considering reflashing the kdz file and leaving it unrooted.

I have this same issue, but I've had random data drops on previous basebands as well. The most "radio stable" I've seen this was with CM 7.1 on the v21e baseband after running GetRIL.
Currently running CM 7.2 RC w/ March 2012 baseband. Default kernel/voltage settings.

Alright well I've had good luck as of right now, I'm using the "slightly modded stock 2.3.4" that's in the Development section and I just downloaded GetRIL. The RIL is already matching my baseband, I'm also using Faux's latest v14b2 kernel for GB. I haven't had a signal drop for a few hours, which is saying a lot considering with other ROM's i've had data drops a hand full of times every hour.
Thanks for reminding me though, COMPLETELY forgot about GetRIL for some reason. Makes me second guess all the previous ROM's i've blowed over.
So yea, go this route if you want something that's actually reliable, so far at least.

Any signal loss since your last post?

Yup, I was using the MIUI that was built for v21y, and ran getRIL to fix the RIL but still didn't receive any e-mails overnight (i flashed the ROM a little before i went to sleep), I normally get at least 2 or 3 per night, never without ANY e-mails.
Saw I had the "H" in the signal bar, turned on Browser, "cannot connect..." bla blah, but I could text and call.
I was running Eagles Blood AOSP ICS yesterday AFTER I posted this thread, and I had NO problems all day, and I've flashed the Eagles Blood ROM again once I got to work and sure enough, NO signal loss.
As of now, for ICS, it seems like everything is good to go with EaglesBlood, and ONLY that ICS ROM.
As for GB, it's BuruROM P999 2.3.4 "slightly" modified stock.
Those are the only two ROMs, I haven't tried CM7, but those are the only two that don't give any signal drop.

I started with Stock 21y 2.3.4 -- everything was great, but I was missing the customization ofo other roms -- once 7.2 RC3 came out .. and the new libs.. i started trying other ROMS, but it just isn't as stable as stock 21y 2.3.4 was, so i reverted -- but I had lots of data drops/gps drops.
I re-ran GetRIL to download 21y again on stock (rooted) 2.3.4 --- and this solved the problems. So, if you are having data loss, my suggestion is to go back to 2.3.4 and reflash 21y RIL - this seems to do the trick..

[Q] Is there a quick fix for sms delivery report stuck in status pending?

Rom: CM7.2. kernel: faux123-050 - baseband mar12.
My sms delivery reports gets stuck in pending on all data options. However, the reports send when using wifi calling... . Is there a quick fix to this like changing the apn setting or changing kernels?

I've never come across this before. I know that for me, WiFi Calling is the death knell for texting (SMS or otherwise). It's got me bothered because my phone is only functional due to WiFi Calling for where I live. If I come across anything I'll pass it along, but possibly doing a logcat when you're not able to have them reports send might help resolve the issue.

Thanks. I'll do a logcat. It's not that big of a deal, I'm just being anal and thought there might be a quick fix for such a small problem.
My WiFi calling works flawlessly ... did you try a bunch of different roms and kernels?

I've been running Modified ROM's on my phone ever since I got it back in Aug. of 2011. Stock just sucked (was the 2.3.3 GB Stock). I've tried just about them all. Hell's GB and ICS ROMs, Euroskank's GB and ICS ROMs, TonyP's ICS/JB ROMs, etc, etc, etc. I'm surprised my onboard flash chip is still working with all the flashing I've done over the 14+ months. Currently using Temasek's GB Build 135.1 Final. The phone for the most part works, and works well. I've tried all the kernels too ranging from Faux's, to Morfic's, to Harsh's. Morfic's ELP Kernel has been the most solid for me.
I don't use ICS ROMs because their WiFi Calling is borked beyond all recognition. I just hope and pray that IF we get an official release of ICS for our phone, it fixes the WiFi woes I've had with ICS ROMs. I'm too dependent on WiFi for my cell network connection. If only T-Mobile had a Microcell for their network. They have that repeater cell tech, but it requires a 3g/4g connection, and my house doesn't even get a 2g connection outside (although their map "claims" I am to have 2g service). It's just frustrating.
I saw an article about AT&T's Microcell back in 2010, and was hopeful the technology would catch on, but it flopped.
