Current Issues

DO NOT FORMAT YOUR SD CARD IN CM7. DUE TO A VOLD ISSUE THIS WILL FORMAT YOUR /BOOT INSTEAD OF THE SD CARD!

****Should be fixed in nightly 13****



-Standy battery life is not as good as stock

Because of a kernel bug CM7 does not fully sleep. The result

is ~1% battery drain per hour while the screen is off. With normal use I usually go

1 - 2 days between charging.

***fixed in 2.6.32 builds***



-A few apps do not scale to full screen

In order to get Market and Maps to work fully the lcddensity has to be

set to something other than 160 causing a few apps not to scale properly.



-Wifi slow to reconnect at times

****fixed****





-Video playback is slow

****fixed****



-Default rotary lockscreen does not fit screen

****fixed****



-Market partially works

****fixed****



-Bluetooth does not work

****Update**** Bluetooth now works in CM7.

Bluetooth is working seemingly perfect except for the range. Unfortunately, the range is terrible.

Depending on the device you are paried with, the range is between 1-5ft. Any ideas on how to

fix the range issue would be much appreciated.

-Do not use SetCPU profiles

If you enable SetCPU profiles it will become a runaway process eating 100% cpu.

Setting your cpu clock can be done in Cyanogenmod Settings. Under Performance->CPU Settings



-Internal storage partition is not mounted on boot and is not shareable via USB

****fixed****
