Hi Everyone!

I'm a new Cyanogenmod user. I just flashed my SGS with latest CM7.1 stable and I've got a problem. I would like to install Googleapps addon for Google tools, but I cant enter into Recovery menu. I'm using Rom Manager given me with this CM release, I flashed Clockworkmod Recovery as I should for i9000 (tried for i9000 (MTD) also), then I choose reboot in Recovery. After phone reboots it stuck on some kind of progress bar (about 1/4 of it) and then run into a system without accesing to Recovery Menu. This way I can't install Google Apps, and because of that I can't install any other app from Market.

Does enyone know solution for that?

Thanks!

poor SNS performance

hi,

I have installed the 157 nightly yesterday from scartch over a stock rom and everything seems fine. however today I noticed that:

1. I get emails with few hours of delay.

2. my friends tell me that most of the time my account is off line.

till now I was using the 2.3.3 stock version and I never had such experience.

is it a known issue that waiting to be fixed, a new one or there's some setting that I'm not aware of?

default browser hangs

I seem to have an issue with default browser hanging on some websites.

For example (can't post link but commsec-dot-com-dot-au)

it does not seem to happen for every website but when it does it loads to about 80% and just stops. I cannot actually press the stop button in the browser either.

Any ideas?

I can't remember the last time i've used the stock browser. After a few days of awful experience when i bought my phone i decided to change. Gave every browser i came across a shot, none was really any better than the other when it came to speed and response. When I was on the verge of losing all hope for android browsing, i tried Opera Mobile. Never, ever, looked back.

Has all i could want for a browser: fast, responsive, you can zoom perfectly while a page is loading (this one won it for me), has a great file download system, flash works great, love the way it manages tabs, speed dial, etc...

So that's my advice. Drop anything else and try Opera MOBILE. (It's kind of important you try mobile, not mini which is aimed for lower end devices)

Hi all!

I have a little problem. In the stock roms, I can change in the sms settings, that I want to send my message without accentuated letters. But in the CM7, I couldn't find this option, so know I can write only 70 characters, instead of 160.

CM7 SMS app always encodes unicode when there's accented characters and there's no way around that (by reading the spec I would say that's the right way to do it).

CM 7.1.0 boot loop

hi

while updating a few apps, Market force closed. Tried to open it again, force closed again. Decided to reboot --> sort of bootloop, in the sense that the wheel animation restarts itself after a few seconds.

Tried to re-install CM 7.1.0 from the files I still had on the card (whole procedure: CM 7.1.0, gapps, etc. etc.). No change. Then restored from last backup (one of the nightlies), then finally installed CM 7.1.0. This time the phone is OK.

I have no idea exactly what Market was doing when it crashed, I was not closely following the updates.

Any hint about what might have happened?

How about flashing a custom kernel without vc?

I never used miui, did the devs of your rom told you cm stock kernel would work?

I think the same steps would apply:

Grab a nightly, extract boot.img, /system/lib/modules/*.ko, use a custom kernel cwm zip as a template, overwrite boot.img and modules, flash that in cwm.

I hope you know what to do if things go south.

Battery life

Hi,all

I'd root my phone by this guide

The kernel was flashed is "CF-Root-JPM-v1.2-Busybox-1.17.1.zip"

And then I'd install the latest stable version of CyanogenMod 7.

Now I have battery life issue. With original ROM I'd get 40-45% at END of day. On the same usage now I get 20% at half of day.

It's not acceptable.

I'm turning off the Wi-Fi after use, I don't use GPS and I don't play video.

There is some solution to this problem?

Thanks in advance

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Herman76:
Battery drain is one of the remaining issues on Cm7.

The reason for this is locked down RIL sources from Samsung, and causes 3g and hspa communication to drain more battery then it should.

Battery life is not that bad though. If you let the battery stabilize for 3-4 days you will see that it improves in most cases anyway.

After so many days without flashing my battery life is excellent. I usually make it from 8.00 till 23.00 with 60-70% left. Moderate to heavy usage.

I must admit I have so called 'gold 2430mAh' battery form ebay.uk, but I think it is a normal 1500mAh, just new one. I had 50-60% left with the same usage/mileage on the old battery.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobidzid:
How long are you on CM7? I mean when did you flash it - or anything else, like kernel? Usually you need couple of days (3-5) before battery settles.

BTW: My battery didn't last longer on stock ROM.

BTW2: I noticed heavy drain while on H/3G only when I was away on duty trip to Asia.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxJak:
To mobidzid - I'm on CM7 about week. Like I said above, I'd use CF kernel for rooting and flashed the CM7 latest stable version. My usual usage is on cell (H/3G) connectivity, the Wi-Fi I use at home only.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobidzid:
'Latest stable' is nothing more then a Nightly marked 'stable' by the devs - and is rather old now. There have been some important fixes provided in Nightlies.

But if you use H/3G a lot then sorry, but you need to get used to the drain. I would switch to 2G for normal sync and use H/3G only when really needed. I guess you can make Tasker automatizing it for you, so H/3G would be enabled only when, for example, you start the browser or dropbox.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxJak:
Yes, I can "play" with some settings to reduce the H/3G traffic, but before a CM7 ROM flashing I'd use the original (samsung + local carrier) 2.2 ROM and my battery was Ok.

My usage of the phone didn't change. Same amount of calls, sms, and cell traffic.

So I'd thought the custom ROM will improve some phones performance and it did,

but I can't see it at the second half of the day ...... the phone is connected to charger ...:cool:

CM7 works with 4 possible kernels. Stock, Neo, Glitch and Fugu. Find their threads by searching in the XDA i9000 Dev forum, each can be flashed easily from Recovery.

Stock kernel is the kernel that is installed with CM7 nightlies, and yes it has usually been enough for my needs battery wise, that is it gets me through a day.

Hmm, the ideia is for you to *debug* the battery usage. If you can turn data off for a while to see if the drain comes from bad signal reception, from a misbehaved syncing app or from something else it's you choice. Or you can check the batt usage by checking the apropriate battery debugging threads. Also, the CM7 rild is know to drain a tad more than the samsung stock.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxJak:
jose.celestino - You're absolutely right, this is a link to thread in CM forum.

There are couple ways to "debugging". First - research and find which process, app or data makes the battery crush.

Second way - there are 3-4 major files (cause) affect on phone behaviour and I can change them one by one till the problem will be solved or not.

Probably I'll go on the second.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
Correct, and no...every time you flash a CM7 nightly it will reflash the latest stock kernel, no need to back it up. If you want to go back to stock, just flash the Nightly.

Since the devs so kindly asked me to do so, I did a complete wipe (from EZBase). This time I was also extra cautious about NOT restoring backups which might come from my old Samsung FW setup. Basically set up the thing from scratch, boring as that sounds.

Not sure if you need to go that route though. If I remember correctly Darky's 9.5 is based on Froyo/2.2 and if you have never flashed a Gingerbread ROM (Samsung or others) you should have a supported bootloader.

The initial files are just for when flashing from something NOT CM7. If you are already on CM7, applying the latest update should be sufficient (and then latest gapps if you want gtalk video chat)

As for charging... It's always a good idea to have the phone properly charged. You probably wont need 100%. Probably not 50% either. And then it depends on how confident and quick you are in CWM and blabalbla. Where the line goes is hard to say and probably depends on the user as well.
