updated to build 81 few hours back, everything seems fine and works ok!

2 things,

android os still taking up 25 percent of battery

while android system only uses 2 or 3 percent...

google services also all of a sudden kicks in using 15 percent battery,

checked Google talk, its switched off and auto login also set to off,

any suggestions ?

P.s. everytime i update to newer build i clear dalvik cache + i wipe the cache..

i dont do a full wipe, maybe this is the problem ?

Yeah I updated mine - Camera only FC if I select a camera mode like Snow.

Hey,

I came to the wiki page for fully updating my s2 from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1297557

The Wiki contains nothing about these steps:

Do not reboot! We mean it - do nothing except choose zip and continue next step (if you come back to us with permission issues in install, we will know you did not read the directions and will call you an idiot). If it just plain hangs, reboot directly back into ClockworkMod recovery and continue at the next step.

Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery, again (due to a bug in the install).

It ****ed me up for one and a half hours. Please edit this, so other users won't have trouble with this.

Wow, I just flashed the nightly80 yesterday and everything is great. This is the first time on CyangenMod for me so it's kind of a big deal. Thanks a lot for this great experience.

I've got one problem though. I can't use whats app. I can use all other similar apps like tango, viber, gtalk, skype, heywire with no problems. Now whatsapp is installed and doesn't give FC, everything is normal but i can't send or receive messages. When someones sends me a message i simply don't receive it. And when I send a message i just get one check which means that my message was sent but the other persn didn't receive/read it. I tried this with a lot of friends and it just doesn't work. I tried all of whats app's settings, I have autosync on and everything, It is just to weird.

Hope someone can help me, this app is one of the ones I use the most Thanks in advance!

EDIT: frgot to say it, but I also tried unistalling and installing again. Rebooting the phone, everything. It just doesn't work.

Basic setups,

Open camera set to snow mode, take picture, change back to standard and once again change to snow. Camera should FC?

If you try open the camera quickly it comes up with that unable to connect to camera error.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robbiev80:
Agreed. I've only experienced forced closes using the camera a handful of times and I've been using CM7 since the 1st build. People are either not doing something correctly or it could be whatever update you're talking about. I haven't been on stock since I first got my phone in August. This rom has been quite stable for a long time.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomascunill:
I think it depends on what you're loocking for. If you're looking for something that will work just right so you can use your phone withoth having to flash anything new in a couple of months then the stable release is what you want. But if you're like me and you get bored if you don't flash something in two days then the nightlies are for you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LarryLars:
No home button issues either. Sounds like you may have come from a ATT base and not wiped properly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nebucatnetzer:
Show some patience please it's a forum and not a chat.

I don't think a lot of people receive notification mails for this thread due to the fact that it is too busy.

So you probably have to wait a bit for your answer especially if you have a problem like yours

and asking every 20 minutes definitely doesn't help to get an answer it's just annoying.

Probably there is a file which you could edit to change the key binding or something searched until now to find an answer but wasn't successful.

The only thing I found where this two file but couldn't find anything usefull in it.

/system/usr/keylayout/

sec_key.kl and sec_touchkey.kl

Do you use a different Launcher?

Did you restore some apps, settings with Titanium Backup?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robbiev80:
That "stable" release is just Nightly #79. Like atinm said in an earlier post, the "stable" label just means you can submit bug reports now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AMDPOWERFIST:
Yeh i agree with the others that are saying that the 3G connectivity has dropped significantly.

Ive even flashed KI3 / KI4 / KG6 / KG3 modems to see if there is any change. I get a slight increase / decrease with a few, but the main 3G dropping out issues are still there.

Its like the 3G has a time-out, if the page or market isnt loaded in X amount of time, it auto-disconnects. Then you have to manually refresh, or reload to get it to work again...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slavistyle:
somewhere in the deepest depths of this thread atinm (i'm not 100% sure if it was him) mentioned that it's like the nightly, just named as "stable".
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robbiev80:
Do a nandroid backup. Revert back to a rooted stock rom. Then flash CM7 from scratch. Don't restore anything using titanium or whatever. Install whatsapp and see if that works.

If it does, you owe me a chacarero. ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nebucatnetzer:
In addition if you don't have time for flashing and reading etc frequently it's better to use the stable release. Problems could appear and disappear in Nightlies quite fast due to the fact that they are work in progress so it's a bit of a challenge to keep up with the progress.

Baseband Version I777UCKH7

I flashed Perception0.1 which is a I9100 rom tweaked to work on the ATT version. Having issues I quickly restored to CM7 #81 nightly. Now after 2 reboots I am still seeing a baseband = I777UCKH7. I assume this has to be incorrect and that it did not update properly as kernel, build, and version all match with CM7.

Is it possible the baseband is using I777UCKH7?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomascunill:
That's exactly what I did in the first place :)

I did install all the apps from the market withouth using TB.

Well, this things usually get a way of fixing themselves. Maybe when I upgrade to the next nightly or I don't know. Will have to learn to leave withouth WhasApp for the moment. Thanks everyone for your help though, it's good to know people try to help when you have problems.

As for the chacarero, I think no one will ever get one from me. Since it's my favourite, I'll always keep it to myself!

For the short time period and the fact that they are doing this for free it's a great first stable release.

I'm on O2 UK and KI3 was giving me drain (admittedly not a great amount but I'd had better in the past) on CM7 so I've switched to KG6 which seems to be just as stable with better battery life. If we go by what happened with SGS1 modems, some will give better battery life in areas than others and better signal and connection. It's about trying them out to find the best one for your area. In general though, the SGS2 modems don't vary in quality as much but it's worth a try to see which works best for your area.

---------- Post added at 12:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 AM ----------

Search thread. I believe the fix is to run fix permissions from rom manager (or CWM even). Also, videos filmed on stock firmware cause problems and should be removed with CM7 to avoid issues.

What drain are you getting with cm? I'm on nightly 80 and last night my battery had gone from full to 93%. That's in 4.5 hours only, and it was in flight mode! No apps running in background confirmed by betterbatterystats. Does however show high counts of system processes. Total partial wakelock time caused by system processes was around 11 seconds, but individual counts would be around 50-250.

I used to be able to get 0-1% drain over night without flight mode!
