woohoo , just flashed nightly 89! had been sticking to nightly 60 for a while since there seemed to be a lot of problems with the newer ones..

hope everything works ok. going to charge to 100 and check out battery drain etc tonight :D

thanks for all the hard work !

oh yea, also feel like 89 has stronger contrast. kind of back to how it looked like when i first got my SGS2 o_O

See coment #22

It seems the fix was commited, but then something broke the behaviour again in later releases. It would be nice if this issue was finally fixed in CyanogenMod.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FreeStanler:
Hi everyone

I'm absolutely loving this ROM, I basically think its the best thing ever. I've sorted out most of the lingering quirks, besides one critical problem.(I am on stable mod 7.1)

My data is being chowed!

I don't mind that the phone uses a lot of data when on wifi (got uncapped there) but on 3g my 100mb monthly bundle is basically up in 4 days without much intended internet use, and out of data bundle rates are flippin' expensive in South Africa.

The app 'My Data Manager Free' has shown me the sole culprit to be Google Services Framework (other data usage is from minimum browsing I did do outside of wifi). I've tried to block it from using 3G using Droidwall, but to no avail! In the power widget menu I have also deselected the 'Sync' button, although its icon still lights up in the notification bar. I've tried the reverse by switching sync on in the power menu, but the icon would still come on in the notification bar (it does seem to especially come on when away from wifi?) and Google Services Framework would still steadily eat my data like Galactus slowly moves through the cosmos.

I haven't tried wiping Google Services Framework' data just yet, I'm afraid I'm not sure whether that could hold some dire consequences for me.

This ROM is just so awesome overall, and would just hate to move to another ROM over this. Please help! Really sorry if I've missed the solution if its already out there...

Noise cancelling

People always got an echo when they called me, which disappeared when I removed my protective case. In VillainROM, it was solved by installing the Noise Reducion patch.

I have not found a way to do the same thing in CM7 (using nightly #89) - is there a (simple) way?

Flash the gapps package and you should be alright. I don't know if it's in this thread or the wiki, but it shouldn't be hard to find,.

EDIT: download it from here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps and flash it with CWM, when you reboot again it'll ask you for your google account and it'll sync contacts, etc...

I suggest that for next time you use ROM manager premium since you won't have to worry about this kind of things. Just a suggestion though

If I'm not wrong you loose them unless you do it via ROM Manager premium (and check the google apps option when asked to).

YOU should read, he said he used CWM ...

That's only true with Rom Manager.

I just did the same (87 to 89, CWM method), wiping cache and dalvik, but without factory reset, and no issue here (still got Gmail, Market ...).

Not sure if that could have caused your issue though.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nebucatnetzer:

No. You have to have ROM manager premium to download the nightlies, and if you read my post carefully you'll notice that I was not suggesting to just download gapps but to upgrade from nightly to nightly withouth loosing gapps.

The BCM4330 also handles the NFC communication (and the FM radio), any way to duct-tape an NFC chip into the SGS2? :)

Maybe they'll give us Bluetooth 4.0 support code for it while they're at it. How much (if any) device-"specific" (Nexus Prime) driver code tends to get included in the AOSP source? MHL support would be nice, hopefully it's not too much of a pain to implement.

Yeah it will work with no problems, CM7 doesn't use samsung firmware. You should read the first post and the wiki carefully since flashing this ROM for the first time is a little trickier than Samsung firmware ROMs (just a little, it isn't hard either).

I don't know about you guys but I updated to nightly 89 and I'm getting huge amount of battery drain. Close to 50% in 4 hours. I don't have wakrlock neither deep sleep problems. Just the phone itself is consuming a lot of juice. I used to get a day and a half before with nightly 82
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flafla:
this drain is during the day when you're using the phone? I charged to 99 last night and left it unnplugged for around ..7 hours. woke up and it was at 91%. data on all night, but running juicedefender to check data only ever 15minutes.

will post again if the battery drain during normal use is worse :eek:

I'm experiencing great battery life on #89. I have now 14 hrs usage (during the day) and 59% battery with 1.5 hrs display on, wifi all the time with autosync on. I even ran a couple of antutu benchmark which consume a lot of battery. My battery life improved significantly around nightly 85 if I'm not mistaken.

Maybe your logged in in something that drains your battery, like lattitude or something? Don't know, this battery thing is just weird,

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xaurus:
I've had some audio related issues for the past builds (currently on a fresh install of #89):

Something makes the phone hang when I browse the different sounds, for example after listening to some 2-3 ringtones when selecting a new ringtone in "settings->sound settings" the phone hangs with this message:

"Sorry!

Activity Android System (in application Settings) is not responding."

Then I get two choices, FC or Wait. Wait doesn't work. FC closes the window.

I too have the "ring signal played only once" issue, I suspect the hang is related to this.

Playing mp3 in Poweramp is no problem, it never hangs then.

Thanks.

No, still wrong. If you read me carefully, you would have noticed that we were talking about upgrading nightly to nightly without Rom Manager, but simply use CWM. You do know Rom Manager is not the only way to get acces to nightlies ?

Here's a hint : http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=galaxys2

God, I'm "sort of" relieved to hear that, same situation here, I thought it was my box, then Juice Defender, then the advanced settings for wifi (Wifi Sleep Policy) which was set to screen off, although I don't remember if it was previously the default option.

In root explorer look in the top right.What is saying? r/o or r/w? If says r/o hit the button (i think says mount as R/W). After that you can edit the GPS.conf

OCD - Help A Tragic Sufferer

I'm keeping up with the occasional nightly.

Love Cyanogen Mod.. said it before, and I'll say it again. Praise where praise is due... it's a mod worthy of the phone.

Now. My problem. I have OCD.

Every time I update the rom, all my stuff disappears, and it freaks me out like somebody moving the stuff around on my desk when I'm not at work.

For non-OCD sufferers - this is the equivalent of a bear crapping inside the back collar of your shirt while you're still wearing it. A vaguely unsettling and uncomfortable experience.

So, I'm using Titanium to back up my Apps and App data, and using the Backup/Restore options in ADWLauncher to retain as much of my stuff as possible.

I've done my best, but every time I update, I still lose my carefully placed icons and widgets (next time I take screenshots, so I can match them exactly after an upgrade).. there must be a way to restore the icons to their previously inhabited positions right? ...and the screens in the right order?

I think some of my ring and alert tones also changed. Please let me know your secrets. If it can't be done (and I could see how that would be possible), then it can't be done.

Also, what would people recommend for Contacts alternative? I liked the way the Samsung Contacts app would give you the option of Merging your Contacts. I miss that.

Thanks in advance! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flafla:
how come you lose all your previous settings every time you update? i just updated from 60 to 89 by flashing through CWM and everything was pretty much the same, except that i got the new ring unlock screen-the only thing i had to change

only wiped dalvik and cache
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fr33L4nc3r:
Ok, let's say it is a misunderstanding ;)

Still, boba was not asking "How to easily install Gapps", but "Why they disappear", although flashing a nightly on top of another one with CWM should not have removed them.

If i'm sticking to the topic, it is because I would like to know why too, cause I'm using the same method and would not like that to happen.

Will we get a merge with the Samsung Kernel source drop3 soon?

I'm very interested in the improved audio quality from it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
When one of us finds the time. Not having git repositories to merge from makes this a time consuming, error prone process and neither of us wants to do it. Codeworkx is working on the I9103 and I'm taking a break. But I'm curious - was there a new ROM from Samsung that "fixed" the audio issues that makes us believe that it might get fixed in the code from update3?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deciduous Sprue:
Maybe it's because I did it through ROM Manager..... :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
On ROMManager, always pick the option that installs GApps. It won't actually overwrite any data then - but it won't "clean up" either.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arkanius:
Fair enough, we sometimes forget this isn't your job.

About the audio:

It's still being debated.

Ever since we got the 2.3.5 ROM's people have been saying the audio got better.

Supercurio did some quick frequency response analysis and he said it was the same.

Yet everyone said otherwise.

Now that we got custom kernels with those sources from KI3, KI4 and KI8 people are doing some quick AB tests and they still say it's improved.

I do notice a difference from CM7 to Stock ROM's myself but I've been using CM7 for 2 weeks now and it could be my hears pulling me a placebo.

Also, did supercurio setup a git repository for the kernel source code?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
Just having a mongo repo doesn't help - we need the history so we know the commits that were made and can cherry pick them into our repositories because we also make changes in parallel to Samsung (they change different things - for example, bluetooth was a kernel modification I made that isn't on Samsung's kernel), and doing a straight pull will create conflicts that are a pain to merge anyway.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deciduous Sprue:
Maybe it's just something curious with my phone setup.....

I always pick the GApps option when given the opportunity after selecting the ROM (because the thought of losing my GApps makes my blood run cold). Maybe it's something to do with what I'm deleting.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
I had that on 88 then flashed 89 and it's smooth now. Before on 87 it was smooth too so I dunno if it's 88. When you say messy you mean it's not a single line than kinda crushes together like it supposed to but rather like a splash of pixels that looks like they are trying to do the same animation but it doesn't work so well right?

As for your battery stats, i'm not sure how good those are but i guess it would depend on your actual screen on hours. I see lots of screen on time but don't know the exacting number so it's hard to say. Lots of awake time also even without screen being on it seems so really hard to say. :)

I generally get 3-4hrs of screen on time and say 1-2hrs of call time before it dies. This happens over a 24-36hr period however including some sleep.

Data sync off - only sync when I need to as my contacts info hasn't changed in prolly a year. LOL Calendar, i change that 2-3 times a week so I sync then. One thing I did i set it to turn on wifi and sync whenver i plug (using the power manager widget) in which is usually at home so it syncs once a day anyways.

Same issue here.

Additionally, a while ago I was having issues with the phone "turning off"(though it may just be the screen turning off), but in any case it becomes completely unresponsive, power button does nothing, and I end up needing to reset the battery. So I completely wiped the phone and formatted the internal SD card and reinstalled CM...couple days later and it's happening again.

Additionally, I'm now getting the issue where the notification bar doesn't load when the phone is rebooted, though I've found that by switching to another theme and back again, I can get the bar to load without rebooting my phone a number of times.

EDIT: Also, when the phone became unresponsive when I got it turned back on I had lost around ~7% of battery, and at most 2-3 minutes had passed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fr33L4nc3r:
Seems to be a "known" issue, even if I didn't had it for a while.

Might not be linked to Cyanogen though, as I am underclocking (but not undervolting) with SetCPU and it might be difficult for the phone to wake up.

As you pointed out, it seemed to me it was only the screen having an issue, as lowering the volume with the button triggered a sound for me, and backlight was enabled.
