[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
Not sure why you care - but yes, we are leaving it r/w at the moment as it was easier for us to debug stuff if we are able to push binaries to /system without having to remount all the time, but we'll change it next time around.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
And that would be what . . .

I am assuming you're talking about bluetooth - what do you use to play the podcasts?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DvTonder:
This may be what is causing the car BT to time out.

I have an Audi and the phone connects OK. Stays on BT for about 2 - 3 minutes and then disconnects. I suspect what is happening is that in the first few minutes the phone is transferring the phone book, call history etc to the car. Once that is done there is no more data flowing over BT and eventually BT goes to sleep, dropping the connection to the car.

Is it possible to prevent sleep when a BT device is connected rather than data flowing? That way, as long as the car is connected, BT should stay awake regardless of whether one makes a call or not.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
That's where I am unsure - if I have a headset that I want to receive phone calls on, but am not in a call, I'd want the phone to be able to sleep and just wake up and bring up bluetooth when I receive a call. That's how it is working right now. But I am trying to see if there is some way I can easily tell in the kernel that a device is connected, and handle it that way. Let's see.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 02ranger:
It can't be true? I can be pretty dense at times but I'm not stupid. When it boots up and everything is done loading, root explorer as well as terminal shows /system as r/w. I've never seen it that way on any other phone. As I said before, I first noticed it on cm7 but now I've seen it on several roms. I don't think its cm7 related, I think its my phone, which is why I took it to general. I only mentioned it again to illustrate a point. I've used a script to fix what seems to me to be a security hole, and I'm happy with it. Maybe it is supposed to be that way but it didn't make sense to me, which could've easily been solved by somebody writing:

Its made that way. Don't worry about it. :)

Took me 10 seconds to write that on my phone, even with the smiley, which is of course optional. In fact, I think you're misunderstanding me. You wrote you're mounting it rw, which is what I'm experiencing. So by your own post what I'm saying is not only possible, but intentional.

I really do have nothing but respect for the work the cm7 team is doing, but it seems like this ROM brings out the worst in everybody, myself included.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 02ranger:
I did use a script to fix it. I had seen the thing about a checkpoint in init.RC but I thought it was supposed to be remounted as ro and was missing somehow. I was apparently be wrong, and that's fine. I only brought it up again to make a point about having to ask several times. Its funny that i only got answers after ruffling a bunch of feathers, further making my point for me. I do appreciate the answers.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 02ranger:
I guess I didn't realize why you were getting annoyed. I thought I'd found the "offending post" (lol) but maybe not. I wasn't annoyed with you at all, your post just struck a nerve that's been sore for a while, so to speak. Sorry if you felt I was directing it at you. I wasn't.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 02ranger:
THANK YOU! I appreciate the answer. I felt like it was a security hole is all, but if you say its intentional and OK, that's good enough for me. I just have never seen it done that way. All I did was write a script to mount ro and I'm good. Thank you very much for answering me and not telling me I'm crazy. ;)

PS: Last post. I'm on my phone so I don't know how to multi-quote. I'm done.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
What exactly is happening on the bluetooth link when this drops? Is any data flowing at the time of the disconnect (like music or something) that gets interrupted? Or is it just the bluetooth going to sleep because there is nothing happening?

Not sure the technical aspect of it but is it possible to add 6.5MP Wide into the camera?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DvTonder:
Atin,

I think it is the same situation I mentioned earlier. When the phone connects in the car the first thing it does is transfer over the phone book and the call history. Once this is done, all it does is sit idle with a connection to the car. In my car, I cannot play music over BT, just use the phone. Unless I am on a call or a call comes in, there is no data flowing over BT that I am aware of. I will run dmesg and logcat tomorrow while sitting in the car and see if I can identify what it does after the initial sync.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
Actually, what happens on stock? If no data is flowing at all, I'm curious if stock keeps the connection up or whether the phone goes to sleep too. I will flash back to stock and check later.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shr33kant:

Cheers mate. Its nightly 84. Whatever is thrown at it. Distorted sound is pretty much seen in all the tracks. FLAC is no exception. Bass range is too strong while the shiny treble is lacking, when using DSP manager. It comes back to sounding dull again when DSP disabled. Tried using EQ from market. Pretty decent but bass boom again too much. I am using creative EP-630. Can someone recommend good DSP settings for my situation?

Seems justified as the galaxy S2 is using Yamaha Chips. 1 thing which is missing in Cyanogen is the Wifi direct settings as found on the stock samsung SGS-II ROM for On air transfer of files between 2 SGS-II phones. Can we expect it in cyanogen in coming releases of Cyanogen Mod 7?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pastuch:
Nope, I'm running 83 with the worst battery life ever. 4 Hours if I'm lucky, I watched it drop 5% in 5 minutes. The android market crashes every time I try to launch it no matter what keyboard language option I choose. Half my other apps are crashing like crazy. Bluetooth pairing with my computer and other phone is failing. I'm going to try 85 but if it's anything like 83 I'll have to switch back to Lightning 6.1. 83 is unusable for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyzulu:
Why not try #84? Battery life is much better on #84
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolanevans:
Not sure what happens on a stock SGS2 as I went to CM7 as soon as I got the phone. That being said, on my Galaxy S running CM7 (and other non-Android phones) the connection is maintained even if there is no data flowing. On the Audi MMI screen a BT and signal level symbol appears when the phone connects. I suppose that there would need to be some sort of minimal data flow to maintain an accurate signal level reading, but the connection still drops.

What echo values will return colors to or closer to pre-mdnie? 0+1 produces horizontal banding when screen is dim.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechNoir:
Sorry, i should have been more detailed myself before aswell. With poweramp, playing a song (320kbit). Start playing song, music plays in headset. Use phone with screen on, music keeps playing. Turn screen off, music will play for a certain time, generally 10-30 seconds. Then, mid-song, audio is interrupted with silence, the silent sections being maybe 1-2 seconds long. After a few gaps of silence have happened, music playback stops altogether. Screen on makes it start again at the point of interruption.

Stock player can playback without interruption, so there seems to be a difference between stock music player and poweramp.

I'll look into getting you actual data in the dev thread. :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codeworkx:
I thought you've written that your phone mounts system ro. Missunderstanding.

We're mounting it rw so that we're able to push files to the phone without having to remount it everytime we want to push something.

As long as we're hardly developing it will stay rw because it's easier for us.

CM7 is no Samsung ROM.

This means no KIES for you.

It seems that my phone won't sleep with this (wakeup is instant), so, one way or another the vibrator works fine (however, I'm sure that this wasn't the intended fix?). The weird thing is that the battery graph shows that my phone is sleeping while that display is off when in reality it's not (because of the fast wakeup).

When I push back the original file, the phone sleeps normally.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codeworkx:

Messed up my install

Without thinking, I went and updated my CWM recovery from 4.0.1.0 to 4.0.1.4 (I was running CM 7) and ended up messing up my install and not being able to get past the initial Samsung Galaxy S logo.

I went back to stock firmware, installed an insecure kernel, rooted and then went and reinstalled the 4.0.1.0 CWM recovery via Odin. Everything worked fine till I went to install CM 7.0 - it installed properly, but after reboot it hung again at the Samsung Galaxy S screen. I went back into recovery and noticed the CWM version was once again at 4.0.1.4. I've tried this a couple of times and every time I get past the CM 7 install, I end up @ 4.0.1.4 even though I've flashed 4.0.1.0 previously through Odin.

Where does it keep getting the v4.0.1.4 from? I've wiped everything - factory reset, cache, Dalvik Cache etc. Anyone know how to get around this issue so that I can install CM 7?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vachelon:
Have you trying wiping /system?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeshr:
I've done a factory reset and I assumed it wiped "/system". Is that not the case? If not, what's the option for wiping system?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vachelon:
It's under Mount and Storage i believe. Wipe /system over there and reflash CM7.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeshr:
Wiped /system before reflashing CM 7 and CWM 4.0.1.4 still shows up (I also factory reset and cleared cache/dalvik cache after wiping /system.

This is pretty bizarre! :confused:

Is it possible to look into enabling ro.ril.enable.amr.wideband=1 by default so that we can take advantage of the AMR-WB capabilities of this phone?

My carrier (Telstra) supports this codec and markets it as "HD Voice". The Samsung-based ROMs support it and it works great.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codeworkx:
Recovery is not /system dependant. Recovery comes with kernel.

You can wipe your system 100.000 times and the recovery will be still there. xD

From Stock

- Download CM and place it on your internal sdcard

- Flash CWM (see my CWM thread) using Odin

- Boot into Recovery

- Do a Factory Reset

- Install CM

- Reboot

If it doesn't boot, Boot again into Recovery and simply install CM again.

Atinm,

I am using Doggcatcher to download and play podcasts. The bluetooth plays for a couple of minutes and cuts out. I have DC set to share media with music, but on reboot media scan doesn't find the media. Probably just a little bug in DC though, it may only share media downloaded after the setting is checked.

The more worrying bug is Car Home. I woke up last night to find it constantly opening Car Home and closing it in a loop that made trying to do anything else on the phone impossible. Battery life had been great up until I had gone to bed, but after 6 hours it was down to 4%. It has been a problem on ROM 82, 83 and 84, but has drained my battery to dead on 84. I've just put a new fresh battery in my handset and gone onto Rom Manager to see if there is a new nightly, and Car Home has just started and shut itself again as I've been typing this. It's driving me mental.

Cheers,

cfhuk.

Hi,

In terminal emulator or windows cmd, [with your phone's screen on], use the following commands:

and then

echo 1 > /sys/class/mdnieset_ui/switch_mdnieset_ui/mdnieset_user_select_file_cmd

I'm not sure actually, I don't use that tool. Take for example the wallpapers that I set up on my phone, I don't really see much colour bandings when I set it up with Quick Pic.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
Bluetooth:

Stock uses something called enable_lpm (enable low power mode) which allows the phone to go to sleep, while leaving the BT chip in low power mode which keeps its connection up. We do not have access to this mode because of the code for this being in btld which is a closed source binary.

So, I have two choices:

1. Not let the phone go into deep sleep when bluetooth is enabled, even if nothing is actually happening on the link.

2. Let the phone go into deep sleep, and breaking the bluetooth connection after some period of silence on the link.

At the moment the code is using the second (though only a 1 second timeout - I can increase it by some amount, to say 60 seconds). It was using the first option on my first bluetooth commit.

Neither is ideal.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DvTonder:
I suspect this will solve the problem. The polling between car and phone must happen at least a few times in 60 seconds to update the signal strength display for example. Not sure it it polls every second though also depends on whether it is a NULL or a POLL packet.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyallo:
@Codeworkx - I took your advice regarding Windows drivers "Doing it's stuff" and got myself a real OS instead. In this case I settled for Ubuntu 11.10.

To start off I wan't to say that I'm a complete newbie in linux GUI and terminal.

But I've managed to get adb working atleast (can open it inside terminal with ./adb etc)

Only thing that I'm missing now is the possibility to start ADB from any path in the terminal window.

I thought I specified path variables inside the .bashrc file.

It reads: #AndroidDev PATH

export PATH=$PATH:/home/dyallo/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools:/home/dyallo/android-sdk-linux_x86/platform-tools

I thought this was to make ADB available from any path, and also without using ./adb - like in Windows?

Anyone is welcome to help me out by the way :)

I think your problem is not trying to find out how to turn on journaling but rather finding what is causing your data partition to corrupt. I flash roms frequently, sometimes several times a day, and have never had a corrupted/lost data partition. Rogue app maybe?
