I had 4 radio crashes in three days, and it doesn't ask for a pin, just the service is gone, have to restart the phone. Using JVK modem. I want to try different modem but as far as I read, there are problems with all of them.

So, who had no radio crashes and what modem are u using?:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bravoleader:
Have the same problem. I cannot wake up my phone anymore. I keep pressed the power button and it restarts. I had overclock from juicedefender. no i disabled it and i'll see what happens. It is odd behaviour i think.

Is it just me and d2loader having this issue?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] VenQWish:
Doh, I bought ROM Manager just for the download function and CM7 wasn't there (I see it will be restored which is great). Oh well, at least I can use it for the OTA updates from now on :).

Quick question, how do I turn off the BLN? I can't find it in the settings :/. Thought maybe it was the BLN mod, but this does not appear to be the case? I just would like to have as much battery life as possible, without sacrificing on the amazing performance.

Awesome job on the new 15/05 nightly! Love how I don't have to go through all the flashing anymore with efsbackup and all that. However, now my CWM appears to be 2.5.x instead of 3.x, is that normal?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bravoleader:
One more thing...

Is there a way to merge contacts in the contactbook so i have for a person phone, facebook, twitter and skype information on a single line like i can do with samsung roms?

F
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
I had a great deal of trouble with JuiceDefender and I know others have as well. Disable or just flat out uninstall it and see if that solves the trouble.

If you want overclocking, use Pimp My CPU (and an overclockable kernel, of course). Much better software, in my opinion.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
I have no had any radio crashes or dumps since installing JPG 5 days ago....but this issue seems to be VERY individual. So pick one to start with, load it up, then see how it does. If it crashes or dumps, load the next on the list and give that one a whirl...Rinse and repeat until you find the best one for you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] T0TORO:
Yes go ahead and download "go contacts" from market. And then go to settings and enable them in contacts.

Edit: Oh, you need to log in to your facebook account in the app.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Not with the stock CM7 dialer.

However you can do such things with GO Contacts which I have been using. Not as pretty as the stock CM7, but crazy functional. Free in the Market.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] skye9342:
Sorry a noob question, im coming from miui, so i guess ill just have to do a factory reset and flash update cm7 nightly right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kobik77:
Is this a native 850 modem?

How is your reception indoors?

Missing 850 band with Pelephone hurts really bad the reception and battery life.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sebarkh:
I would love to stay on cm7, but I can not live w/o FM Radio, so had to flash back to jvh... is radio supposed to be fixed?

Sent no matter where from. Concentrate on the topic...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] josteink:
The devs have said that this is near the bottom of their priorities, about as important as making CM7 withstand interstellar EMP blasts, so no.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Hmmm..Interesting. I have never had any problem using modems with no 850, but I may give the 850s a try and see if anything changes. How does one check the band on CM7 again?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bahaa89:
May someone please answer my questions? Thnx.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] d2loader:
But I dont have anything like juicedefender or Pimp on my SGS..

Another Strange thing was that after the crash I reboot my phone and I can not receive or call out any people until reboot again..

I'm on JPM modem with stock CM7SGS, will change to another modem help?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
The INITIAL file is used for those people coming to CM7 for the first time, while NIGHTLY is the update file for CM7 users. Look on the Troubleshooting post on the first page, there are specific instructions for coming from MIUI.

The Bootloader file is only relevant if you are on Gingerbread and need to load the Froyo bootloaders.

Finally, yes, CM7 supports both Hebrew and Arabic.

Welcome aboard.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] drakenabarion:
CM7 supports Hebrew very well. טוב מאוד

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
How long did you wait for your phone to catch a signal before rebooting again? Sometimes it can take 5 or 10 minutes depending on the network.

Beyond that, trying a new modem certainly couldn't hurt.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mermigas:
If you are in Miui you can flash only

update-cm-7-INITIAL-GalaxyS-signed

This is enough but before you flash you have to wipe cache and dalvik Cache.

If you have a problem then it is best to wipe data/factory reset prior flashing

Of cource you have to make a back up prior flashing

Also I can see Hebrew and Arabic inth lang list
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MotokoK:
Thanks. Moboplayer looks good. The internet access is likely to allow the app to play video from html file on the web.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] drakenabarion:
Mobo player is the only video player that can play the TVs capture from mu pc with good fps. All others lag and don't play smoothly. (Captures in mpg). And I think it supports most formats. :-)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kobik77:
One just can't :)

I know how the reception should be using 2100 band and using 850 band, so I can see the difference.

For example, at my workplace which is really problematic I have zero bars using 2100 band while having up to two bars using the 850 band as I know from when I was still using Sammy's ROM.

Just try KC1 or JL2 and see if you get any improvement.

The major difference is indoors as 850 band has better penetration through walls.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
I have never had reception problems, but I am curious to see if it improves battery life.

So these two modems do both 850 and 2100, so I can still use them abroad?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Adevem:
i'm currently on the latest nightly (515). just wondering if any Singapore SINGTEL users are having issues with receiving MMS? it seems that i'm able to send a MMS but receiving is a problem. I'm using the default APNs provided by CM7, which is correct when i compare it.

also tried changing it myself to the APN provided in stock Singtel firmwares but to no avail.

if it's working for you, would be nice if you post your APN settings. thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] R34L2Pac:
Maybe your battery was overheated and did not start recharging properly. From my experience is better not to use the phone during recharge, otherwise it gets overheated and stops charging.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kobik77:
Sure they do.

One question though, did you get your phone from Pelephone or a store? Which model it is?

Only I9000M/T/some letter I can't recall now supports this band.

So it might be that your phone doesn't support 850 band by hardware.

Edit: I can see in your sig.

You're good to go with I9000T :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Thanks for the help....I learned more about modems and the bands issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] uvlight:
I need some help here.

I remember some nightly ago, there was a problem with the light sensor, on the adjust "light sensor levels" page, the lowest level brightness was set to 10 (by default or accident)

After update the for the next few nightly, I still have that light level setting of 10 for the lowest brightness level, which I like. But if I reset my phone, I can't set it anymore because the lowest level I can set it 20.

The question is, I would like to adjust the light level to a level lower than 20 (I still think 20 is too bright), is there anyway I can adjust that? modify config file? change some value in database?

hope my english is understandable.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] suntzu123:
So quastion is what is more true... Sourceforge stats or CM7 stats?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
They can both be true....Sourceforge only tells us how many times something was download, not if it was downloaded multiple times by one person, or someone downloaded it but hasn't flashed it. CM7 stats have to do with devices running CM7 online.

Two different statistics, both great.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Go to settings > CM7 > Display > Automatic Backlight

Under Light Levels, select Custom, then Screen Dim Level...20 is the default but you can lower it down to 1.

I think that should put out your lights.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] uvlight:
Thanks, but it is not the dim level I want, dim level only dim screen when I inactive for a period of time. what I want to set is "settings > CM7 > Display > Automatic Backlight > Edit other levels..."

View attachment 597921

This sets the screen brightness at different light conditions. But the lowest I can set is 20 here. is there any other way to set it? I really want to get that extra level of "darkness" if you know what I mean :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kobik77:
I don't have problem with it's internet access alone.

It looks suspicious to me that a video player needs access to the accounts permissions.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dfolt:
ok, i have only one problem, I need to wait for detect my SimCard, Its something about 1-5 min. Someone have idea? (On stock's 2.2.1 all was good etc., I have froyo bootloader)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] skye9342:
Sorry, i cnt help you with that. Im a singapore singtel user. I just wanna check whether have you seen H appeared before instead of 3G using cyanogen? Great mod btw!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
On bootup I have the same thing, so I imagine it is normal. Usually it takes about a minute for my Service Provider name to pop up, meaning the SIM Card was identified...but it has taken longer at times. Then it usually takes a few more minutes for the signal to be established.

Me curious to know, what made your phone "slow" in the first place.....how many apps u had on your phone......and were you on Custom Kernels...with UV settings ???.........hard reset / data wipe are usually the last resorts....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gbohm:
i am not sure if that would be a good or a bad thing lol

no honestly i think if it is true he/she should protect his anonimity sammy's lawyers will find a way to sue him

Not everyone that download CM7 want to be at stats.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eRajesh:
I guess around 60-75 apps. Was on Glitch's Custom kernel. No Under-clocking. UV settings were -50, -50, -25, -25, -25.

Things are smooth again, after doing a hard reset.

Regarding mobo player, for me it has no permission to access contacts, it can only see my phone state, which it obviously needs to stop playback during calls

This ROM suport ext4? Sry for the noob question.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] josteink:
/data is on ext4, so I would guess so :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Now you know that apologizing in advance of the outrage doesn't make it all better. You can't say "Sorry I shot your dog...BANG" and expect everyone to laugh about it in the morning.

However I will give you a break this time and know, just KNOW in my heart you will read the troubleshooting posts next time.

No need for any lagfix with CM7 ...no ext2, no ext4, no extWife. The entire architecture is different than the Samsung ROMs, built around ext4 and yiaffs and other really fast things and runs like the wind right out of the box.

And next time....ask in the Q & A post.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jornbjorn:
lol, all this obsession with filesystems! there can be lag because of the filesystem on few occasions on RFS (galaxy stock rom), but very rarely on the later roms.

i sometimes have some lag on my pc. think im gonna change the filesystem, omg, my tv is slow to switch the channels, gonna try and change filesystem, my car sometimes dont start when its cold outside, gonna change the filesystem!

What im trying to say, because most people on this forum have never read a book or been to class, is that the filesystem rarely is the cause of your laggy phone =P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] prembox:
Aren't you the guy who is making it all the more interesting to read and follow the forum every day....... hats off to you buddy.....I wish i could devote that kinda time responding to posts by noobs.....of course most of the folks here can't spontaneously quip and quote the kinda witty quotes/responses u put.....kudos to you, mate!!! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
one point to you... lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lljkpugna:
For anyone else having problems like this, I fixed it with a full wipe of data, followed by a Titanium Backup restore. Everything is now working fine!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
I see your point and you are right...a great number of sins get explained away as "its the filesystem" which really have nothing to do with it.

However it is true that one of the main speed bottlenecks on computers of all kinds, including smartphones, is read/write access speed. The longer it takes to find a file, read a file, and write a file...the more slowly your computer will run. That is why your windows on a ssd boots up so much faster than on a hard drive. The files can simply be accessed quicker on a solid state drive with no spinning discs.

On the sgs, Samsung used a propriatry file system called Robust File System (clever) or rfs. The file system is what controls how your phone finds, reads and writes information. It so happens that rfs really isn't that robust...and another system called ext4 (the descendant of ext2 and ext3) is a good deal more efficient for all kinds of reasons (better allocation methods for one...it uses the nand memory better). Therefore changing the file system from rfs to ext4 tends to make a device faster, or at least appear to be so. However many lagfixes on Samsung ROMs are very cludgy...they create loops and quick and dirty exploits to forge an ext4 system INSIDE an rfs one since they really can't do more than that. It means it is faster than rfs but also more fragile and unpredictable. Many of the XDA devs are very skilled so their ROMs are quite good, which makes up for alot of the failings of rfs...but not all of them.

Cm7 on the other hand was built from the ground up in ext4 and another Google file system called yaffs...therefore no more kludgy fixes and more safety without sacrificing speed.

So file systems aren't the only thing that affects phone speed...but it does play a big part...or so I understand it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mike.sw:
this is not correct. this feature is available in stock android as well, however a bit harder to find.

long click on contact and choose "edit contact", then menu button and choose "join".
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
You're right...good catch.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jornbjorn:
I agree that a faster disc will improve speed alot... clearly that is not equivalent with switching filesystem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
No, but changing the way we access data on the same disc to make it more efficient, that is changing the filesystem. That also increases performance...what we talk about as speed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
but different filesystems do perform different. and thus do make a difference.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Adevem:
yup, I get random H icons nowadays. many reasons though, maybe recent builds? jpg modem is the only one that have me Hs. theme probably? I'm using minimalbread, maybe it "supports" the icon.

Ummm...ok. Bet you are a lot of fun at parties.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gbohm:
of course the file system makes a huge difference but if i again see someone asking to change yaffs to ext4 i will really go berserk.

normally you shouldn't feel a huge difference between the main used ones as long as it is not rfs

Yes. Keep them coming guys!

I really want to see a user who is trying to convert it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jornbjorn:
Is it a huge difference or a not so huge difference?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Totally agree...once you are using an advanced system, any small speed differences are unnoticable. Maybe on a larger system, accessing databases of hundreds of gigs ...but certainly not on a phone
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gbohm:
oh should you perhaps search a little bit (rfs) and then talk because now you just look like a troll

.

but to make it clear ext2 yaffs ext3 ext4 you shouldn't care but rfs is baaad

too quick?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] atinm:
Which we wish was different - they are anonymous, we do not track you in any way that can identify you. We are just trying to see how many users are actually running CM7 and hopefully to get Samsung to give us some more code because there are enough users using CM.

For people who don't know, haven't enabled Anonymous Stats: please do from Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > System > Anonymous Statistics. If manufacturers see that CM is actually a big chunk, we might get more help with drivers. Plus, this would really help us gauge how many users are actually using CM for SGS phones, and possibly make it quicker to get our merges in depending on just how important we seem to be.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] derrzredeem:
already enable it, hope you guys get what you need from Samsung.

just curious here, after Teamhacksung merges with upstream, will you guys get support from cyanogen team ? and you guys still the maintainers, right ?

i'm a bit lost about this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gbohm:
yes they will of course stay the maintainers...

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] atinm:
We are the cyanogen team for SGS ;-). That's how it works. The cyanogen team isn't the one doing every phone. There are subgroups that do individual devices, but everything is done in combination. Our changes get reviewed and merged to mainline code until eventual everything will be from mainline code. Any new work can be done by anyone, and will be sent up as gerrit review requests and go through the same process. We'll most probably still be the major developers because we know the phone best, but just like now, anyone can contribute.

Okey. I understand. I made a "Advanced Quadrant benchmark" and I noticed that the I/O was lower when i used ext4, and I thought the RFS filesystem is the reason. I thought this can be accelerated.
