Hey..can anyone help me out?

So after some heavy thinking (<-android noob) I finally decided to flash cm(latest nightly)! I had no problems flashing (other than some problems accessing market at first, and themes don't change, camera doesn't work?)...

but my biggest concern is the inability to type in Korean?

Any suggestions? Are there language packs available somewhere?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mignadude:
Thanks Plopz :)

So simple, I thought it should have changed with the theme.

Coming from litening rom, my battery usage was 2% per hour when the phone was off. Now on cynogenmod I'm getting 7/8%, this can't be right? Are there any simple fixes? I can't see any unusual running services all battery is Android OS related.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DvTonder:
You are correct. Do not delete battery stats. Just run the phone down to 0 and charge to full while off. You may also consider clearing Dalvik cache. I have found that it sometimes helps.

Loving CM7.1 so far but I have a questions I was hoping someone could help me out with?

I just flashed nightly No#96.

If the phone is turned off, it then turns itself back on when I plug the charger in.

Is this normal?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DvTonder:
That is not supposed to happen. The phone, when turned off and then plugged in, should go into low power mode and display a full screen (or at least large) charging battery in the middle of the screen.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
It should work either way, but I have never understood why people actually want to charge with the phone off. I never do, but that's because I want my phone to be able to ring for phone calls from family even in the middle of the night.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaznxplaya:

I never noticed a difference in charging while the phone was off compared to on..

But having it on while charging I could receive calls or texts which id radther be able to do.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
It's on the charger - it doesn't matter that it consumes more battery, it'll just top it up as long as it is on the charger. Energy yes - it'll use more energy if it is doing work . . . but that's like way too "green" for me, I ain't turning off my phone just to save a few mA!

Hi, though i am new to S2 CyanogenMod.

I too have encountered the same issue since the early nighties. It seemed to be random but occurs very rarely. You'll know the phone is hung when you lock the screen and there's no lock sound. You'll then have to force your phone to turn off and reboot by holding down the power button for a while. No need to pull out the battery.

I'll see if I can get some useful information or logs the next time it occurs. Another seemingly random and rare issue is that the phone would reboot itself when you are using the phone.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangiers:
Codeworkx,

Apologies if you have answered this before but is there likely to be a solution to the phone refusing to stay off when charging?

I know you are an expert with kernels. My amateur diagnosis is that Samsung has a special partition (?) that allows a small program to start (the graphics for the phone charging) when it detects the charger is on. This program runs independently of the main rom. When the rom is flashed with CM7, part of that program gets corrupted and so when the program is activated, instead of running the charging graphics, it runs only a part of the graphics and then causes the phone to boot into the OS (or if the phone is in recovery, to reboot recovery).

We had the same problem with the Desire Z/G2 and the first fix was a cheat which left the phone in recovery but blacked out the screen. It was eventually fixed so that the phone truly powered down with the charger on.

Wished I had the skills to actually help fix these sort of things but I don't.
