It's not using data, the E, when showing without data will appear when you are sending messages as your phone needs to signal sending and receiving

Easiest fix is to check "manually sync data" when you initially setup the ROM

Have you looked into the APNdroid app?

If it was actually synching, there would be a circle with arrows spinning in the status bar.

I've seen it to with sync off, something is still syncing but I'm not sure what, might need a logcat to check it. I've seen it happen on other roms w/ data off.

I got a widget off the market called data counter, simple front end that sits on my home screen with lots of stats and options in the background, works good for me

NetCounter is also a good one, free on the market.

Doesn't work for Wifi on mine, and the cell counter is WELL out as well. I've been downloading quite a bit via 3G over the last week, and it reckons I've only downloaded 1.24MB...
+1 for 3G watchdog - does what it says on the tin. Very pleased with it...
I just tried the "3G Watchdog", but I cannot see any option to "disable" it.
Once I activated by setting it, I saw the icon ets ... but I cannot de-activate / disable / turn it OFF.

Only way I know of to do it is to close it under running services and then open the app again next time you are going to use mobile data.
I just keep it on as I keep my phone on mobile data unless I need to browse the web at home as the wifi is crap for notifications, they hardly seem to work when the screens locked on wifi.
3G watchdog is great!

[Q] LED in cm7?

Hi. I noticed that my LED doesnt flash for any type of notification. I switched ROMs today and am running cm7. Anyone else having this problem?
Doesn't work for me either

Well it doesnt blink but it stays on when the screen is locked.

Syed, these types of posts should be in the CM7 nightlies thread. We're discussing these early build issues exhaustively.
you don't need to make new threads for nightly builds of a rom. they are designed to be experimental, unsupported, use-at-your-own-risk, builds.
some helpful links...
CM7 nightly download page
CM7 nightly discussion
CM7 nightly changelog
keeping up with the above links should keep you informed with all the things going on in each nightly rom.
Hey,
I noticed one thing. I used to have LeeDroid ROM and that one allowed me to use Green, amber, blue, white and also pink LED diod. Unfortunately CM7 allows just green, amber and blue, there is also magneta and cyan shown but it does not work. Any idea??

HTC Sync... which is owned by HTC and only works with HTC software.... does not work with original AOSP ROMs as it is not HTC.
Thanks I like CM7 but with over 400 client and personal numbers in my phone I need HTC sync. I appreciate the help though

Sync your contacts with your phone using htc sync. Go get a gmail account. Turn on gmail account sync. And then all of those contacts will sync automatically to any android phone you log into. No more having to plug your phone into a computer to sync it up.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Another way to do this is to export all your contacts to the SD. Then import them after the install. Worked for me when going from 2.1 stock to cm7 RC1.
"Do you mind if I turn up the AC?"
we digress..
Anyway..

Everything is working great on the phone BUT I notice that the notification LED is now red-orange instead of the original green. Is there a way to customize the LED color to different notifications or even change the color for all notifications?
Its a different color for certain apps mainly it orannge but I think Facebook makes it flash green.

Z4 Mod help

Howdy,
I am new to rooting but did some research before pulling the trigger.
I followed the instructions located at droid life. I would post a URL but since I am new I cant.
But I have been stuck at the Z4 MOD screen with the rotating circle for about 20 mins now. Help please....
Sometimes a reboot and try again does the trick.
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
Just let it go until it stops spinning (took me about 20-25 minutes) pull the battery, reboot, try again. It will be almost instant the second time
If you still don't have any luck, make sure to go into settings-->Applications--> development--> USB debugging. Make sure that usb debugging box is checked.
If that still doesn't help, try putting the phone into AIrplane mode and then try running z4root.

When I did it to mine I was also in airplane mode. You might want to try that
Ok thanks for the help. I waited about 40 mins and then closed the program and rebooted the phone. It took only 30 seconds and it was done..
So now that I have that done I loaded liberty 1.5
I also downloaded adw launcher as I heard it was pretty good.
My problem now is I cannot get it to set up my two other email accounts (hotmail and another ) like I had before. I also cannot get it to link some of my existing contacts to my facebook contacts (basically double contacts)
What am I doing wrong?

Ok so I deleted adw launcher and went back to the liberty controls. Doing that allowed me to join contacts into one. So one problem solved.
But I still cannot get my emails to work. I enter in all the info and I get this message : "unable to open connection to server"
Also I cannot find the original messaging widget that I had on the phone before. It basically was a large widget that had a preview of my text messages.
My email widget is missing as well...
Thanks for your help
When you installed liberty, you removed all of the stock apps aka blur apps. Liberty uses all aosp apps which do not haves the blur elements. This may explain why you can't do the email and it is why you don't have the messaging widget. If you still want the messaging widget I recommend you try gosms or hancent
Handcent is the way to go for sure. And honestly you should get a gmail account. It just makes sense if you use a Droid. Plus go into liberty tool box - addons and you can put back some of the blur stuff. I recommended the blur camera because the stock liberty camcorder doesn't support hd. Good luck!

Thanks. I do have a GMail account but do not do much emailing with it.
I will check out handcent.
Next question is my facebook widget is not keeping updated like it should. On the main widget screen you can scroll through new posts from all of your friends but for some reason it is not updating them. If I click on the widget it loads my facebook and everything is recent.
Any ideas?
Hmm not sure I don't use the Facebook widget. I use the twidroyd widget instead. I had the same problem but it got fixed when the app had a new update. Are other people having that problem? Might be the app. Try seesmic I hear they added Facebook support. He's the guy that made ping.FM so you know it's decent. Maybe check your app update settings and make sure its getting content.

After I turn the phone on in the morning it goes to that "dos like" screen where you can backup and restore, update, etc etc. It says clockwork mod recovery on the bottom. I usually click the first option and the phone resets and loads fine.
What is going on?
Also I would like a clock widget similar to the stock digital one. I like how the stock one would change weather forecasts when I changed citys.

The dos-like screen is a hikacked recovery for the X. It may seem like a hassle to always have to tell the phone to boot normally, but the one time that it bricks or has issues, then this recovery console will.be q blessing.

You could make a nandroid back up once a month or however often you make major changes to your system.

Only sense based roms are messing up my text message order...anyone have a fix?

So I've spent the past week flashing different roms trying to figure out the issue and the only thing I can figure is sense based roms cause my text order to be out of order. The incoming texts show up before the sent text in the thread. I've tried stock messaging app as well as alternate sms apps and still the same thing. My wife is on stock non root and has the same issue.
Put CM7 on my phone yesterday and ran it all day and all my texts showed right..I first thought it was maybe a carrier issue in my area but why would CM7 work right when sense doesn't....
I'm at a loss on a fix and my wife wants a fix too lol...anyone have any ideas?
Fixed my issue...finally hit me on what I could try and it actually worked...so stinking happy!

I had the same issue with an AOSP rom. weird. I believe it might be one of the 3rd party widgets (not messaging apps) such as the sense widget or the launcher pro sms widget. first I thought it was my theme, reflashed still no go. so I wiped and reflashed then found out that if I clicked on a friends name from the launcher pro sms widget and sent a message it would be out of order for instance when he texts and I reply my reply would go BEFORE his message...
If not the widgets my second theory could be the kernels...
quick fix. just restart your messaging app and delete all the threads.
I tried everything and the only thing that worked for me was putting the vanilla android mms.apk on instead of sense mms.apk
Although the vanilla messaging app likes to force close on composing mms

Ahh, okay the color of the icon means if its fully connected or not. So can you browse the web and use data requiring apps? When it changes colors (blue i believe is the stock) it means its successfully logged you in. Double check you have an account added under the Accounts and sync settings. Ive had this happen on ICS and it was a setting. It had to do with background data or something like that.
I haven't met this kind of case, are you sure that you are right?

Yes, it happens in GB as well. When the device can completely communticate with (im guessing)Google Servers, then it changes the color of the status bar icon. Same thing happens with data connections as well.
