Is Audio through dock USB working?

I can't make it work with official Samsung Car Dock, I always hear the sound from speakers and the option to configure the dock (even while installed) is grayed...

Currently on nightly 104

Thanks!

Ok, let's see if I can explain this.

Does anyone have issues with the sorting of new pictures in the Gallery? It sometimes puts the newest pictures all the way to the end (right) so i'm not sure how it's doing this sorting.

Then for other folders - it shows the same picture in the thumbnails no matter which is the newest.

Oh and could we also change the sorting of those other folders (not the DCIM) to work like DCIM where newest pictures are to the extreme left instead of extreme right? When I get a MMS and save the image, I gotta scroll all the way over to the right to view it (again). :D

I take it you need to use stock kernel for the settings under Settings > Galaxy SII Settings to not be greyed out? Or am I being dense?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CamoGeko:
Nothing to do with the kernel as far as I'm aware. Either way you should always be running the kernel recommended by the CM team.

With the camera can there be the option to save to external sd? Like the stock app?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russ18uk:
Yeah it is to do with the kernel - siyah 2.1.1 doesn't support this right now. I'll pay with this kernel for a while :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CamoGeko:
Bah, CM is too picky with kernels at the moment. My advice would be, find one that works and stick with it. Don't try to push newer kernels onto it.

Yes, you need the 'stock' CM7 kernel for the Backlight timeout, Notifications and Notification timeout settings to be available. These are dependent on the touchkey driver implemented with the kernel.

Help cyanide won't boot - loops

I have been waiting for a stable Cyanogen before rooting my S2. I downloaded. kernel and flashed it. That gave me root. Then I used ROM Manager to download Cyanogen stable. It wouldn't flash - checks errors. I read I needed to download a special recovery, so I did that. Now I can flash Cyanogen. but when it boots I get the twirled Cyanogen logo, the the android on a skateboard. and back again in a loop. Am I just not waiting long enough, or have I done something wrong.

Also, don't use ROM manager to flash. Boot in recovery mode and flash from there. Dont forget to wipe cache/data and dalvik's cache.

I've been looking high and low for a few days as to why this might be happening to me, including just things general to my telco, but haven't come up with anything.

My phone isn't disengaging from calls properly. The details are as follows:

- If someone calls me and either of us disengage the call, all is well.

- If I call someone and I disengage the call, all is well for both of us (tested only calling a land line as of yet, though)

- If I call someone and they disengage the call, my phone will not disengage automatically and I will have to do it manually on the touch screen.

I've gone back, first to the stock firmware, then to a different one (not cyanogenmod), to test that it wasn't a problem with my phone and it is not. Its been a problem on the "stable" build and various nightly builds of cyanogenmod that I've tried.

Any thoughts?

Hi, still having issues with the market here. I'm at Nightly #105. My colleague is at a lower number, has the same issue as well.

The issue: Market -> my Apps ... is blank.

Yesterday evening I restored (CWM) my phone to a previous Nightly #93 but it has the same issue: Market -> my Apps is blank.

This morning I decided to do a clean install (wipe to factory reset/clear cache/clear dalvik) and start from scratch. Then it was working for a while, for a couple of hours in the morning. It stopped working again, since an hour ago (I've checked on my Desire to see if there are issues with the Market but there it works all fine. only thing I see is that my SGS II has a newer Market version).

Language was on UK English all times.

Any ideas someone? Any help would be greatly appreciated :D I find it weird that I saw only one person a couple of days with the same problem, my colleague has it, but for the rest nobody seems to have this problem here.

And yes, I did a search ;) so far couldn't find anything related to this.

Ok so after going through the process of:

Backup & complete wrote of device, sd card, removal of external card

Flashing KH3 ROM via Odin

Flashing insecure kernel

Rooting via S2 root

Flashing of CWM 4.1

Double flash of nightly 100

Wipe

Restore of Titanium backup folder & installing said .apk

Restore of missing apps with data

Flash nightly 107 then 108

Everything seems fine except my lockscreen music controls don't work. It shows pause & play but music doesn't stop. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russ18uk:
Are you using a 3rd-party music app?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
I don't get that, why wouldn't you just flash 108 straight from rooting? Just double flash it as CM needs CWM 5.X to install properly. The first flash will flash the recovery but then fail to flash CM. The second flash will already have CWM 5.x so the CM7 install will work. No reason to flash 100 then 107 then 108.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DvTonder:
Every nightly contains all of the functionality of the previous nightly and usually some additional fixes. There is no need to flash one then another then another - just flash the latest.

back and menu buttons stopped working - nightly #107

Hey, this only happened once; but just posting it here in case anybody else experienced the same issue. I was just using the phone and suddenly the "back" and "menu" buttons stopped working. Home button and touchscreen still worked. I tried just turning off screen and back on again; but didn't help. Then I rebooted and it is all back to normal. Hasn't happened again since (although I also believe I reflashed, then wiped cache, dalvik, and fixed permissions - the usual ritual).

This is immediately after going from #104 to #107. So if anybody else gets this issue, just try reflash + wipe caches.

Thanks to the CM team working on i9100. Keep up the incredible work! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DvTonder:
I suspect the issue may be with a possible race condition between the led notifications and the touchkey late resume where the notification LED code, turning off the LED, triggers after, instead of before, the late_resume that is supposed to turn it on. A fix to address this issue was included in nightly #107 (or at least so we believed - see below).

This has nothing to do with permissions and there was no need for you to reflash/repair. A reboot has always solved this problem in the few, very rare, times that it has shown up in the past.

Can you please confirm what your LED Notifications settings are in Device Settings and whether you had an active notification when you unlocked the phone.

EDIT: I think I may have found the offending code and have submitted a proposed fix.

I get this quite regularly. I just wipe market data using titanium backup. It works every time, although the problem will recur in a few days or a week. It's annoying but manageable.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidredman:
Thanks for your input, but the TB market wipe was the first thing I tried, I have spent many hours trying to fix this including full wipe, data, cache, dalvik, uninstalling apps then reinstalling, reverting back to previous working VillainROM backup, I have tried three different market versions, all that work at first but the problem always re appears.

I now use appbrain to update my apps via the market, and have given up trying to fix this, I suspect this problem will affect many more custom rom users in the future, A quick search on Google will show this affects many different custom rom users already.

Is it possible to show Song Name +Art work on cyanogen 7.1 nightly #108 lockscreen when non-standard music player (UberMusic) is used? Currently when music is playing via UberMusic i can see music controls on LockScreen, but on song information or Art Work. Given the music is sourced from same place (emmc) shouldn't the rom be able to pick up the song details from the music index file regardless of what application is used ? I don't like the look/feel of the default player and hence why i don't use stock music player. Any information on this?

And yes you can "disable lockscreen" which makes UberMusic take over the lockscreen when playing music but but that's not what i'm looking for, prefer the cyanogen lockscreen and how it shows music + controls.

Goes without saying that you guys are magicians, i love your work and much appreciate the effort that goes into making CyganogenMod.

I use only one google account, this was not the problem. The account was used/checked in martket accounts, checked that couple times.

But the actual problem had to do something with restoring apps from backup (APK+data) and missing market links after restoring. Never had this kind of problem in the past but with the new market it seems to go wrong with an older backup (I think). Now I completely re-installed phone (wipe all), installed all apps through martket or from fresh apk, then only for some apps restored data (not APKs). That works fine. It's a bit of work but worth it.

Note that I never restored system or android home settings, the only thing I did and always did in the past was restoring apps apk+data, if needed. That seems to go wrong now or I am using too old backups .. dunno.

Thanks for the link. Have looked into it. What is not quite clear to me there is ... did people restore apps from backup and how old was that backup. I seriously think that was the culprit. Testing still. For now it keeps working normally. I saw other replies from people who say they have this problem regularly but I never had it. Also not regularly.

For now I believe it has something to do with restoring apps APK's and market links from backup, well .. at least with me. Hope it will help other people.

When I first came on to CM7, I was a bit saddened by certain seemingly downgraded stock apps too. But I've since found a few good replacement apps which works just as well as Samsung stock apps, if not better.

For the dialer, you could give TouchPal Dialer a go. It also has on-the-fly search when punching in relevant numbers or names, in addition to features like phone number attributions, built-in blocker and detailed logs.

As for the messaging app, I've used Handcent which is miles better than the horrid default one. Very customisable and themable too.

Default Gallery app is a bit clunky. QuickPic is sleek and lightning fast in comparison.

Default Video app still had problems playing certain extensions. MX Video Player play most of the video clips fine but I had experienced some lock-ups and crashes at times.

The only thing left I've missed is Samsung's stock camera app. They have really outdone themselves on the camera software with the addition of features like panoramic mode and anti-shake. I've failed to find a good replacement app for the camera. Let's just hope the one from ICS is a big improvement over the current one.
