Hi guys, i need some help.

1) i'm from brazil and my carrier is vivo, im using cyanogen for about two months now, and one thing that i cant understand is, when i got the "3g" simbol I can't connect to the internet. it keeps searching for hspda, but here in my country there areas that i cant get it ( the "H" simbol, it just keeps at the "3G" and never connects). is this some known issue? can you guys help me? in the samsung based firmwares, there was some hidden settings that helped me with it, but i cant seem to find any similar setting in cyanogen's.

2) this could be seen as a silly question but i cant make it work. in my sms history my picture doesn't appear. it just show my friend's picture. but in gtalk it appears. i would let it be, but i have a friend that have an atrix with cyanogen on it, and on his device, his picture and his friend's picture are shown. what do i need to configure so that could happen.

sorry for my poor english

since now, thanks for the attention.

I noticed new issues.

#1: After some time the screen gets a green tint. I can solve this by locking and unlocking screen. No reports in logfiles. It matters randomly.

#2: random FC in stock browser at random websites. Perhaps I got a logcat via adb.

#3: orange tint in stock camera app and lgCamera before taking a picture. There is no hint in logfiles. Taken photo doesn't show this orange tint but it is too dark compared to taken photos with samsungs stock firmware/camera app.

Thanks. With the nex-s DPI tweaks it works awesomely fine and it's smooth as butter.

However I still have problems sending and receiving MMS. I've read some early issues regarding this, but I still can't figure it out. I tried using automatic configurations from my provider, but I don't receive any. I think I've set it up correctly manually, but still no cigar. Any ideas?

Hi,

I've just experienced a huge battery drain with nightly #66 as I didn't have any problem with previous releases.

My entire battery went down in 9 hours, knowing that my phone was in sleep mode during almost half the time..

Battery usage says that 50% was used by android OS...

Any idea of what can be the cause ? I mean obviously, other users don't seem to report this issue...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Longun:
Without reading the whole thread has anyone got Bluetooth working on any of the nightly builds? I'm new to Samsung (Not to flashing roms etc) and have been running since build #63 but I can't get BT working at all.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogxku5h:
Its broken.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Longun:
Um, I kinda noticed that part. I assumed something was up based on the comments on the nightly downloads but just wondered if there were any work around's or manual fixes.

Anyone know the devs enough for an update on if it is being worked ok? If I know its being worked on I'll wait a while, but if not I'll have to flash another ROM as I use BT all the time. Don't really want to as Cyanogenmod rocks.

It wont reduce..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4qu4rius:
Same here.

Some guy a few pages ago said that two processes related to suspend and i/o were responsible for that but I haven't checked any further. It's something the devs are most probably aware of so I won't go bother them more than needed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aanze:
Thanks for the answer mate.. I indeed made a research in the thread and found the post you're talking about, but it appears nobody cared that much after that..

Maybe it's bad luck, some of us have the issue, some other not. I just hope the devs are aware of the issue like you said.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dergrafi:
Same issue here too. But i don't know if it affects the battery-life that much as it implies so...

But its definitely very strange, never had this issue on my Nexus One before.

I think it does.. At least on my side it's obvious.. Something like 10% dropping per hour. I went to sleep yesterday with 50%, after a short night of 6 hours, my phone was already shut.

The strangest thing for me is, I didn't have this drain on previous nightlies..

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
They already gave us devices, and are working on the software side as you mentioned in that link (I'm assuming it is you who wrote that based on the tagline) - we'll see how that goes as the bluetooth code is not actually theirs but is Broadcom's. They have asked for more details on some of the other issues so they can respond appropriately with the pieces we want.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nebucatnetzer:
I love how the manufacturers start to interact with the community.

I wish they would start to integrate some features from CyanogenMod. Like the theme engine or the autobrightness settings.

An other cool thing would be if the manufacturers would use the full potential of Android. I mean come on it's opensource share your code. Android could be so great if they would work together.

Hi, I'm still experiencing random browser FC - I'm on #64... anyone else? I'm thinking about factory reset and reinstalling CM7, but I'm afraid it won't solve the issue.

Anyway, I've got a question (maybe silly) for devs: is it possible to remap the headset button so as by pressing it for a long time an app starts?

Example: by pressing the headset button for three seconds you can start Vlingo and use voice control without physically touching the phone.

I find myself torn between cm7 and stock based roms. Mainly due to a couple of issues.

I believe sammy have done a really good job on stock

There browser is smoother than cm7

Less fcs.... (gives me more confidence in their build)

Camera is better

No overheating issues or excessive battery drain

And a few samsung nicieties :)

On the otherhand

cm7 has street credit

Snappier than any other rom I have seen

Themes/added extras

I feel its really a trade off between speed and functionality and with a phone as fast as this I feel functionality wins out. I mean I would rather be running cm7 but yeh still issues to fix up, and especially cos I use the browser a fair bit it would be nice if it were as smooth as sammys stock, do you think this will ever happen?

Thanks to all developers, very cool wat u guys do!

I would doubt it, the broadcom BT stack is closed source. The changes would go more in the direction of implementing the function calls into the BT stack.

Until then, use a Samsung based rom like gingermod if you need BT to work and having a (nearly) pure Android experience ;)

I just installed the new nightly (#68).

Sometimes when the screen is off (haven't used it for some time) and I turn on the screen I only see the screen off animation and the screen doesn't turn on.

I have to press the power button a few times before the screen turns on.

I did not experience this in the #66 build (skipped the #67)

+1 on the dark photos by the way.

Screentransition (home screens) is somewhat slow.... (caused by debug code maybe?)

Rom manager?

I hate to ask stupid questions, but this one I really can't figure out..

Why does the install guide suggest I use Rom Manager, when Rom Manager isn't compatible with CF-root (you need chainfires app CWM to boot into CWM recovery)? Is there another root method that I'm overlooking, or does this guide assume you're already running a custom rom that does support Rom Manager?

So I keep seeing posts about updated modems...I guess I was under the impression that CM would include the modem in the builds, but I guess I was mistaken. I have the latest nightly of CM (#68) but it appears the last time I updated my modem was back when I was running a different ROM so it's only XXKH3. I'm wondering if it's possible to update to the latest modem without completely wiping my phone, and also, where I should download the modem from, since there are just SO MANY different files in the modem topic...

Because modems can be very specific to countries, regions and carriers, CM never includes modems in the builds. You can install an updated modem using Rom Manager - feel free to experiment and find the one that works best for your circumstances. No need to wipe anything when installing a modem.
