I installed cm7 and wanted to restore my contacts and sms with titanium. Titanium said firstly that everything was fine but I didn't see anything in sms and contacts so that failed. Moreover I then got a pop up fc with a process called something like android.acore. Cm7 was then totally unusable and so i restored my old Rom... What did i do wrong? Is titanium not supported to restore the user data?

I want to use CM7, have been using it almost from day one on SGS, the colours where not changed in SGS, why change here... :confused:

How do I do what you suggest ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesley1966:
HSDPA Revision off

Have searched here & Google - apologies I have missed it.

I do not think it is do-able in CM7 but can you get to the code screen where you can turn off the HSDPA/HSUPA so you only get the 3G.

At work it constantly flicks between H and 3G draining battery (probably). :rolleyes:

Basically the cm7, default color profile is the saturated one for the wow effect.

1. No you have 3 options the third one is posting your question and wait for an answer. I suggest that you wait at least 12h until you bump your question. Maybe the person with the answer isn't around for a few hours.

I was sleeping for example so how should I see your question?

2. It's a command line for the terminal emulator.

You were around when codeworkx released the experimental build so you should've seen his post with the instructions. So you actually should know that there are settings which you can change.

It's swapping between H when you need the data and 3G when you don't as it uses less battery.

It's a simple terminal command

Open Terminal Emulator that is bundled with CM7 and type exactly what Codeworkx and me posted.

And the option to make the switch is in Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Application > Use internal storage and is set to the current default of /sdcard being internal and /mnt/emmc external.

So I read about moving all your stock recorded videos off the phone, and that way the camcorder will work - but what the permanent solution? I want these videos on my phone.

Also, after I flashed nightly 83 (was on 80) my computer would not recognize the phone at all. It says "USB Device not recognized" and in the Device Manager it says "Unknown Device"

This particular thing has never happened to me. Sure it might say that the driver isn't installed or not functioning. But a quick reinstallation of drivers (with "Have Disk") would always work.

What's up with that?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arkanius:
You don't have to move them out of the phone

Just out of the default folder where the camera app stores the recorded videos.

As much as I respect the work you and atinm have done. "Use a real Operating System like Linux" isn't very helpful, and there's no need for the sarcasm. A simple "I'm not sure, maybe it's OS related as I use Linux and it's fine" would have sufficed.

Whoops. Sadly I read back a few pages before I posted and STILL totally missed that. I'll blame it on not having had my second cup of coffee yet :D

Thanks for that!

As for the USB thing. I've had issues off and on with other android phones. Usually I manually reinstall the drivers included with the Android SDK and it fixes it. I chalk it up to a funky Windows problem. Not sure if it'll help with just getting USB storage to work though. I'd just reboot the computer and try a different USB port / cable for that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melorib:
I had this problem last week, when I got the S2, in the end it was a faulty USB cable, or inadequate, only realised it after re-installing drivers and Kies many times, replaced it with the one supplied with the phone and no more problems...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nebucatnetzer:
1. Copy the two strings which I posted.

2. Open terminal emulator.

3. Type "su" (Without the "").

4. Paste the strings.

5. Press enter.

6. The colours should've changed now.

If you don't like how it looks like, change the number to another as long as it is one which codeworkx has in his description.

And I would like to remind you to this little line from the OP.

Warning : Not for new users, flash this build only if you know what you are doing !!!

I don't want that you leave or something and I'm happy if I can help you. But you should probably consider that the nightlies aren't right for what you're expecting.

Hey guys, I understand CM7 uses ext4 as its file system, however I must admit the fact that journaling appears NOT to be enabled means I've lost my data about 3 or 4 times now for seemingly no reason (2 were me swapping batteries after I thought it had vibrated after power off), and while I certainly accept the risk involved, I wonder how easy it might be to simply enable journaling as I'm more than happy with the speed. Any ideas?

The issue is that we really have no idea what Windows is doing - we haven't changed anything, so going from build to build and have it not working isn't related to anything we did. And since none of us use Windows we don't even have a way to debug this, but given that it seems to be a Windows issue and not the phone itself, there is not a lot we can do.

Hey guys,

I got trouble connecting my sgs2 to MyPhoneExplorer now.

I got Kies installed and removed the drivers several times, reinstalled them etc. but it still won't connect.

Got MyPhoneExplorer client on my phone obviously.

In MyPhoneExplorer it says "usb cable connected", but on the PC it says "No device connected over USB", so I guess it has something to do with the drivers.

Congrats on the fantastic progress made so far, it absolutely flies. I'll be keeping up with the nightlies for sure.

Anyone else experiencing similar?

Daily #84 Bluetooth problem

Hey Atinm,

Amazing work on the Bluetooth, daily #83 was solid, however #84 has gone back to a situation where the connection to my car Bluetooth (Audi, if that makes a difference in your analysis) drops and reconnects every couple of minutes. I assume this has to do the the low power mode you are working on.

I've restored back to my #83 backup and it's maintaining a constant connection as before (although the battery draw is high as expected).

Is there any log data I could supply that would help with your debugging?

Not trying to be an ass to you, but waiting around for an answer doesn't work here most of the time. I've waited for 13 days for an answer or at least acknowledgement of an issue I have and only one person has responded. He just said he had the same issue. That's why I quit asking questions. If you don't post it 12 times in 1 day you probably won't get an answer, and if you do post it 12 times in 1 day you annoy everybody. I'm sure it has to do with how busy these forums are, not people ignoring others. Its still extremely frustrating though, especially when you have a real problem.

BTW, if anybody is interested, my issue is that /system is mounted r/w at boot. I first noticed it on cm7 but since have found it happens on all roms except MIUI. I eventually wrote an init.d script to "fix" it. I posted here at first, then in general. No luck. My last post on it was October 2nd, so 13 days.

Hi

I have been using cyanogen mod for ages now. Previously I was using Moto Milestone on Cyanogen 7. Now I have bought SGS-II. After doing a full wipe and installing nightly and then just 2 days ago I flashed the stable and now I am again back to nightly. Would like to report that the sound it produces has more bass. Distortion's are very frequent even with using a CBR 320kbps track ripped of from a Audio CD. Now that I am on GWK74 nightly. It won't let me save my pictures from the camera to internal SD. Says "SD card not mounted", On stable release I had the same problem but it happened when I checked the "Use Internal Storage", after unchecking it the gallery was again viewable and allowed me to take pictures as well. Now it is not checked neither will it show gallery nor will it allow to take pictures. Any solution already be found out regarding the sound production or "Internal storage not mounted problem"?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
I need dmesg output (you can get the dmesg output after the fact if you get is close enough) but basically the way it is supposed to work now is that as long as there is data flowing over bluetooth, it will not let the phone sleep. If data stops, it lets the phone sleep. Incoming calls should still wake the bluetooth and so you'll receive the call over bluetooth. Music should also keep the phone alive. Basically the deep sleep is tied to the uart - as long as the uart is active, the phone stays out of deep sleep.

I'll see how battery drain is overnight as well, #83 and #82 have been draining like crazy when asleep. This ones been good so far.
