Oh ok gotcha. I think that's to ensure we have the right rom for our phone. I wouldn't know what I'm looking at with all the numbers. I just look for d2mtr in the name.

OK, I did some testing this morn & just now. With cm10 & BB I have a -98 to 102 dBm. On the stock ROM I have a -92 to 95 dBm. So there's not too much difference. But I am sitting in the same spot in front of my pc. On the JB roms my signal drops out & goes to roaming. On ICS it's at 3 bars with 3g showing. Don't know what's going on. Maybe my phone doesn't like JB.i was walking mrpnut through this last night, if you go to about phone > status youll see a number usually -##DB that is your signal. LTE is quriky and doesnt really work out well enough i know it, but if you turn off 4g here is how it all breaks down.
-65DB you are standing within a hundred feet of the tower cuz damn your signal is great
-100DB you will suffer battery drain due to poor signal
on cm/aokp/bb the db is converted into how many bars you should have. touchwiz they like to spread a bit of a white lie and say youve got much better signal than you really do, partitally so your phone doesnt search for better signal and cause big battery drainage. if you wish to confirm this read what your 3G db is and how many bars you have, then go back to stock and see what your db is (should be around the same since you arent moving the tower) and look at how many bars you have

how do you all have such horrible signal? How To Measure Cell Signal Strength on Android Phones - Tested i sit around -75dBm on 3g (on sprint) and have no issues. -100 is going to be battery draining. your device is going to keep searching for much better signal and drain your battery

OK in my mobile network settings under system select "Automatic" is checked. Just checked Metro only & the signal jumped down to -88 to 90. I'm at a loss as to why the signal is so horrible. Maybe Metro is adjusting their towers again.

Remember that problem I was having? It's back and I'm on the stable CM10 ROM.
When I hit power button the display is dim and kind of flickers. If I unlock it the screen goes black. You have to keep hitting the power button to turn on and off the phone until it comes on at regular brightness then you can use the phone. It only happens when you hit the power button to use it.
Any suggestions? Could root cause this? or you think its the ROM?

Does anybody know if we've been taken off the support list? Haven't seen a release in 4 days.

I am on the 11/30/12 cm10 nightly. Has anyone notice the phone becoming a little warm? Especially towards the home button?

I think it has to do with JB because I just tried the BlackBean ROM and it's doing it also, but worst. I'm thinking of going back to stock just to see if it is JB or not.

Just yank the battery or turn off the phone by long pressing the power button. It's fine. It won't break it. You can disregard that message.
That is, as long as you are not trying to actually flash with Odin and the phone is connected to a computer.
If it is, something went wrong, so just turn it off, and try again.
In other words, just turn it off. Scream SHUT UP, and turn it back on while wagging your finger at it. It'll be fine.

Yeah I finally figured out what it was. I had pin lockscreen setup and it blocked it. Kinda weak. On blackbean i'm able to have both.

i wonder if cm will add new features or something with 4.2 u guys think theres a chance they will add new features?

The most notable features from 4.2 is the photopshere n keyboard. The multiuser is useless on a phone. The notifications is nice but the aosp toggles aren't toggles but shortcuts.
