[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djunited:
tried both miui and stock rom at 1600mhz performance and ran cf bench. both crashed. looks like it can't handle it. ran fine at 1400mhz but had to overvolt from 1325mv to 1375mv. otherwise directly after it completes the benchmark the phone would lag and reboot itself. it's weird though,ever since i got the phone i've been on cm7 at 1.6ghz and stock voltage using the ondemand governor and never once did the phone reboot during games or benchmarking. does that mean ondemand is not really using the phone at 1600mhz? could i still run ondemand at 1600 or better to put it at 1400? thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I've noted 1600 MHz freezes on many different ROM + kernel combos on CF Bench, I don't think it's isolated to CM7 + _____ kernel. That said, the absolutely, positively only time I'd ever run at that speed is if I'm bored after a new kernel or ROM. Stock clock speed on CM7 is

blazing

fast IMO.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russ18uk:
Yeah, it does really depend on what the phone is doing. Certain parts of the core may be more sensitive than others, so it doesn't matter that you can run 1600MHz for a couple of seconds, but you may find you get intermittent/random hardlocks/reboots. Certain applications, also, can be very finicky. If, at, 1600MHz the chip sends 1:200000 faulty requests, some apps may be OK, others go **** this I'm "blue screening" and android reboots.

I don't no which guide you followed. But the cyanogen wiki forgets to mention you have to flash it twice. And if you are on KI4 make sure you have the old bootloader. I had to go back to KG3.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charlie_Parker:
Yes both app and system data. Ideally you should try to isolate the problem and the best way is to flash the rom and play around with the phone in order to ensure that CM is running smoothly before using Titanium.

If CM runs without issues (and it should) when using Titanium restore app with data only. As I mentioned do not restore system data.

If I'm not wrong, we have the option to install new programs to the external sdcard as default... Dunno if the other programs will save it's files in external-sdcard though... If you have so little space available, move all programs you have (that don't have widgets) to your external card, as all your media (music, movies)... may help...;)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
The led notifications use a wake_lock, so the phone will not go into deep sleep if you have notifications turned on (it is a setting in the Device Settings as well as in CyanogenMod Settings). Therefore the default is off. Similarly, the led timeout is set to default to always on like we have had it, but you can set a timeout for how long before you want LEDs to turn off.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DvTonder:
To add one clarification to AtinM's comment above:

The phone will not deep sleep only if there is an

ACTIVE

notification. (i.e the phone is off and the LED is on). Notifications can be enabled in Device Settings and as long as there are no notifications active, sleep will work as normal.

To give the end user more control over the sleep/battery impact of an active notification preventing deep sleep, there is an option in Device Settings to set a time-out for an active notification.

I use the Cyanogenmod Settings, Sound, Quiet hours feature to set the phone to Quiet at night. This will also disable the LED Notifications automatically and prevent draining the battery with an active notification while you sleep. In my case the phone is on charge in any case but I also don't want the room to be lit up by the LED being on.

Did the i9000 require a wakelock for BLN? I don't think it did (might be wrong). Is there any chance of a similar solution on i9100?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayerfernandes:
Just a heads up. Was on nightly 103 with Siyah Kernel 2.1.1. Lost all my account information and contacts after flashing nightly 106. No idea why or how. Cant seem to get it back by data and cache wipe, or even reflash of gapps.

When I go to accounts and syn, I can only add exchange accounts, no google accounts!!

EDIT: Baseband is KI4, is this causing the problem?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russ18uk:
The problem is you didn't take necessary precautions before flashing. Before any flash you should backup important data like SMS and apps. I also do a nandroid. No doubt 106 wiped system and data.

The screen brightness button in the pull down menu doesn't work properly anymore? I can press it and it goes up, but then i cannot press it again to make it go lower, it's stuck at max.

edit: nvm somehow the settings got changed/resetted, problem solved :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DvTonder:
No, the i9000 did not require a wake_lock. With the i9100, Samsung is using a different touch key chip (melfas vs. cypress) and they handle the power off functionality differently.

All current BLN and LED notification implementations for the SGS2 uses a wake_lock for this exact reason. We have not been able to figure out exactly how to get around this issue yet.

---------- Post added at 08:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 AM ----------

Not sure what is causing the problem for you but can say for sure that your baseband has nothing to do with it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayerfernandes:
Of course I did that, Im back on the 103 as nothing I do seems to make google accounts work on 106 for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carnelain:
I've never been called sir before:D.

Read this forum a lot of people had the same problem.

I'm not an expert myself but the newer versions of samsungs firmware contains a different bootloader that blocks some things. You can go over to samfirmware.com and download an older version (don't know what you were on). Than find the corresponding cf-root version. Now you can get into clockwork recovery. There you should wipe the cache and the dalvik cache (under advanced) options. And maybe even do a factory reset (if it is a clean install). Than flash cm7 from the sd card when it is done do it again (so two times). Than flash your google apps. And it should boot into cm7. Good luck, it cost me a good nights sleep;).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L10nH34Rt:
Do you flash the ROM using ROM Manager? Try flashing directly by booting into recovery. It is a known feature that if you download the ROM directly via ROM Manager and don't select install gapps add-on, you will lose them.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
It did not - but the code is quite different (different chips). We have tried many different ways to keep the power on to the touchkeys while powering down/low-power the rest of the phone but haven't found a way that doesn't screw up the touchkeys on wake. We haven't given up yet, but for now, as DvTonder said, you can control how it works. But if you are concerned about your power usage, don't use LED notifications as the wake_locks make it so that your phone will go down at 200Mhz but not into deep sleep when a notification is turned on to light the LEDs.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tom369:
Is there any chance of including an option in CM that would force sms messages to be sent using standard ISO/GSM alphabet, instead of unicode, even if the user uses some special characters?

The thing is: in many languages you have some country-specific letters (like for example ą, ę, ź in Polish) and sending this seriously decreases your sms character limit from 160 to below 70 characters. Almost every phone has this option and it is also included in Samsungs' original firmware for SGS2 (in message settings). Expected behavior would be to send those special characters as normal letters (ą-->a, ę-->e, ź-->z and so on). This would be an option that would really help many users.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
let us look into this . . . shouldn't be terribly hard once we find the code that figures out what character set to use.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tom369:
Would be great and would help many users.

In Samsung's original FW this option is here: Messaging/Settings/Input mode and there you have option to select "GSM alphabet". The problem is this is probably Samsung's own code to do the conversion and it's not included in Android source code.

I don't know how it's done: is there a mapping for every single language or what... In Polish for example you have 18 chars that would need to be "simplified" to GSM alphabet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_code_pages). Wikipedia mentions something about "shift tables" but I don't know if this is what we look for (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM_03.38). I tried to dig deeper into this, found some description like this from Nokia here: http://goo.gl/DVW3l and some discussion here: http://goo.gl/RCWw1 but I'm not a developer so I won't be able to help you much but hope this won't be so hard as you said.

And BTW thanks for the great work with CM.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aiserukana:
Hello guys.. since im new in cyanogen and android also.. i have some questions concerning the difference between normal Samsung galaxy s2 rom with cyanogen. Here is some issues i got :

1. Signals -> when im using the normal rom i feel that the signal is much stronger. Was using speedmod kernel.. but since i changed to the cm7 stable the signal isnt as strong as the original rom. Could it be the modem or baseband version changes from original version to stable cm7? Since i never flash kernel on this stable cm7. I live in taiwan and when i read articles it aays that the taiwan's baseband version should be ZT. But when i go to settings and look over it it says XX.. does baseband version change when you change the rom to cm7? And its xxkg.. if i change it into xxki or another version will it be better? And how?

2. Vold.fstab -> i am not using additional microSD because i got the 32gb version one, so i didnt really need it and i dont use it. I am using the internal 32gb sdcard here. But when i go back to original rom, all applications missing ( phone read it installed at external microsd ) and when i reinstall every app and go to settings and pressed to move to sdcard it reads as microsd external one. Did i do something wrong there? And when i read some threads here it says to revert back the vold.conf and vold.fstab is this true?

Pardon my bad english and thanks for the advance.. but my main concern is at the signal but i would love to get answers for both. I am sorry that my knowledge on android isnt really high. Thanks !!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeromiles:
These nightlies worked well for me up until about 102 or 103. ROM manager premium failed to update. It would restart the phone & it would take long to boot up as if it did something but when I checked I saw that I was still on the older version & it said update available. That was no biggie as I could simply do it all manually by rebooting into recovery. But then I started missing alarms on mornings. I found the lockscreen lit up but unresponsive. I made the mistake of trying MIUI since they had ICS framework but I didn't like it so went back to Cyanogenmod. This time I tried with KI4 since I used KH3 before. But now my market doesn't work. I'm about to start again with a clean wipe using KH3 again. Any suggestions as to which baseband/modem is the best or most compatible with Cyanogenmod for S2? Has anyone else experienced these issues and what was the fix? Keep up the great work devs. Up until then the rom has just been getting better & better for me. My only other issue was the bluetooth not working with power amp when screen was locked but again, no biggie.

Hi

I'm getting a problem with USB connection to my PC while in Debugging Mode and want some advice before I reflash back to stock.

I'm trying to connect the phone on nightly 101 to a Newly Built XP Pro 32 bit machine.

ALL the patches and hot fixes have been installed on the PC and the ONLY software installed is the latest version of Kies 2.

When I connect the phone via USB (while the phone is in debugging mode) the PC is asking which driver to install. There's a who wad of them in the /program files/Samsung/USB drivers directory but which one is the correct one?

I'm sure before flashing to CM7 I was not getting asked for the driver.

Ideas anyone?

I'm having a similar problem, After giving HyperDroid-Androidmeda-v2.8.7 a try, i noticed that my reception on that rom was alot better (the rom went down to 68dbn EDGE) with CM7 nightly it never goes below 90dbn EDGE.
