Acquiring wakelocks file. I have only installed titanium and like 2 other apps, otherwise I'm still on basically fresh install

---------- Post added 19th October 2011 at 12:06 AM ---------- Previous post was 18th October 2011 at 11:53 PM ----------

http://i.min.us/jZimBuftkmYsN.txt That's the log file.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
FYI, xda allows direct txt attachments for small files, and wakelocks dumps are small

First:

DAMN it's been a long time since you last rebooted. 520 minutes on the charger, and over 1000 minutes wakelocked with fuel_alert.

Second:

You're the second report of a kernel bug (which existed in the Samsung source code itself) that I've found. Basically, if your state of charge goes below a certain threshold (which I'll figure out tomorrow), you will likely acquire a permanent wakelock until rebooting. See http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18545255&postcount=289 for more details.

I was going to hold off on releasing a kernel update until I had more to put in it, but tomorrow evening I'm going to release an update with the fix for this issue.

Until then: Reboot your device when it's reasonably full on charge, and don't let it drop below 20% or so (Exact threshold is unknown but I'm positive it's somewhere below 20%). If you do, you will need to reboot once you charge the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] used2hvatreo:
Yeah I was having trouble uploading from my tablet so I just did the link, thanks for the info, I appreciate you helping me out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] used2hvatreo:
Ok so I have rebooted and been off the charger for about 1.5 hrs, and haven't seen deep sleep yet. This same thing happened to me when I was on Perception, and thus I came back to Cog, and it followed me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JeffreyF:
I know this thread used to have a no wipe title, but I just want to check that I can still follow the first post instructions then flash this straight over stock without worrying about backing everything up. (Naturally I'll back up the important stuff, just wondering if I can expect other things like game progress to still be there.)

Thanks in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BNAS:
That's correct! Just download the latest ROM (Beta-4) and CWM right over stock. I actually flashed back to Beta-3 to test some battery issues. All versions are stable builds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
What battery level did you start at? What's the lowest it got on this boot?

You got nailed by the fuel_alerted bug... again...

This mystifies me - it shouldn't be happening unless you were at low charge, or maybe some people's fuel gauges are wonking out briefly (enough to trigger the alert, and then rise above the alert clear threshold without hitting it exactly).

I'm definitely going to put out a kernel release with a fix in the fuel alert code tonight - you've been nailed by it twice now.

Beyond that - if that's only 1.5-2 hours of usage, something is driving quite a bit of data. svnet-dormancy is at 30 minutes, and this is triggered by cellular data activity. MAIL_SERVICE is at 12 minutes - my guess is Exchange sync?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] used2hvatreo:
I was at 100% on my battery level, took it off the charger, rebooted and then let it hang out undisturbed for awhile.

As far as the data goes, yeah i have exchange on push, but when I was having issues even getting exchange set up after I jumped over to perception, it was still doing the same thing.

I was planning on flashing back to stock, factory wiping and starting over, but I can wait until tonight if you want me to test your new kernel and see if it fixes the problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] XorZone:
DG, I.m so happy to see you and your roms here.

Thanks for the work you've done for captivate and s2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
There must be some situation where the state of charge estimate glitches and triggers the fuel_alerted state... Normally that would be an incredibly minor thing, but compared with the bug that only clears the wakelock when the state of charge is EXACTLY the alarm threshold, it makes things very bad.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] used2hvatreo:
Is that something that has to be recompiled into the kernel or is there a file I could edit and push back in there?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Has to be compiled in - it's one line of source code in our fuel gauge driver.

Basically changing an == (equals to) to >= (greater than or equals to)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BNAS:
Deep Sleep

Ok. Guys... So with all your latest talk I decided to check my CPUspy. Deep Sleep is at 39%, 200 MHz is at 52% and the rest are negligable. What should the average deep sleep be? I am running Exchange Push. I flashed back to Beta-3 and seem to be getting 1.5 times longer life on average use over Beta-4. Just food for thought.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] used2hvatreo:
Yeah I was concerned that would be the case. So I flashed back to stock and wiped down factory reset style.

Well, I just flashed through a bunch of hoops and now I'm on a fresh install of Cog beta 4 and I have deep sleep time being logged in CPUspy so it looks like it was something I did. Average deep sleep depends on the user. If your phone sits on a desk, off the charger, all day, and does nothing, you should see a majority of your time spent in deep sleep. The fact that you are seeing deep sleep means you are good as far as my problem is concerned.

@Entropy, I was curious. Would any setting from SetCPU or BatteryCalibrator cause the problems I've seen? When i restored with titanium the apps i wanted from my captivate, I may have restored setCPU with its data as well. The other thing I definitely did every time i flashed was charge to 100% and then use the Battery calibration app to delete batterystats. Then I would let it discharge completely. Could this have been the issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I'm usually around:

97% if on wifi for an extended period of time with wifi sleep policy "Never"

94-95% if on cell data with moderate signal

90-92% if on cell deta with "awful" signal

Note: You need to go into CPUSpy and do "reset timers" after unplugging from a charger. Charging inhibits deep sleep.

Edit: Our fuel gauge chipset has no provisions for calibration. Deleting batterystats could've caused userland to do some sort of wacky stuff like repeatedly bonking the SOC reset interface.

Others have reported that attempts to diddle with battery calibration has caused their fuel gauge to freak out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] WGSXFrank:
Hey guys,

I just wanted to pop in and say that I installed Cognition onto my phone yesterday. I'm absolutely LOVING it so far! My battery seems to be lasting so much longer than it did on stock.

Before installing, I had to charge the phone twice a day. Since installing (and after using betterycalibration) I've only charged it once. It's been running strong since this morning (9:30am) to now (about 3:45pm). It still has over 80% charge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] used2hvatreo:
I figured it had to be my fault. I have been flashing nonstop on a lot of devices and I have never had something go wrong on only my device and have it be my fault. Well unless i was testing for one of the devs.

So i will do no more calibration stuff. Honestly I made the wrong assumption and thought I would have to do the same as with my Captivate, is that not the case with SGSII? I guess it makes sense due to my SGT10.1 not needing calibration either...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Colton127:
Does this have the stock Samsung applications, such as TouchWiz 4, Kies Air, and Media Hub?

Just wondering. I'm new to the whole "ROM" thing so I'm getting adjusted right now.

I'm wanting to flash this ROM because I've read about the great battery life. My Samsung Galaxy S II gets a decent battery, but I'm pretty disappointed with it as a whole :mad:

Are there anythings I should know about ROMs before flashing one? Maybe a guide on here, or something. I tried searching but came up with not much useful info!

P.S: How is the Camera on this ROM? I've read that the Camera on other ROMs isn't very good compared to stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
Some of them. The ones DG has excluded are linked (and available for download) in the OP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] WGSXFrank:
Judging side by side images and video from before I rooted and that I just took now, I can see no quality difference whatsoever. Zoom seems fine and the other controls are working the same it seems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Captivate had an even more primitive fuel gauge that also had no need for calibration or any way to cal it. (People like to blindly apply HTCisms to phones...)

I believe the Tab 10.1 actually does have a "coulomb counter" type of fuel gauge that could be thrown off by improper cal - but it seems to do a fine job of calibrating itself 99% of the time. (A few people in pershoot's thread had weird battery cal issues.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Colton127:
Just got done flashing this ROM to my device! My first "custom" ROM ever!

As smooth as butter, no lag that I know of. Customizing it to my needs currently.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Totally gonna flash this tonight and see what kind of battery life I get out of it. I am getting around 10-11 hrs with UnNamed.... hope to get more with this.

Will post back my findings later on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ashah000:
Anyone have an issue with the phone not waking up after sending a SMS message. This has happen to me almost 50% of the time after sending a text, and I have to hold the power button down until it restarts.

Kinda annoying me... Might need a reflash...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
I'll post back my findings and let you know once I flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] roadrash7:
No
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TechSilver13:
Are the feature that are "still to come" still gonna come? This is one of the better roms and I'd like to have extended power menu and overscroll glow. I have it in another rom but like this one the most. Just curious.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Just flashed, very smooth rom, I like the snap-y-ness of it. very nice work. I can't wait for the feature updates! :-)

Is there a way for me to install the messenger theme used in unnamed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
I think this is mentioned in the UnNamed post. If you open the ROM zip, and find the mms.apk and replace yours (in /system/app I think) with the one you extract, when you reboot it should look like UnNamed.

Its not a theme, its in the messaging app.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

There are more important things in life than developing time-wasters for us.

Not sure if this is a good place to ask, but does anyone know of a good "blue" battery icon mod that works correctly with Cognition b4?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] used2hvatreo:
Yeah I never persoy had problems on my tab but there were a few that did. I did a llot of the testing initially for pershoot and never had problems with the battery calibration. A lot of the time it just ended up being people that didn't do the full wipe like they should. I'm going strong now with my phone going into deep sleep now so my guess is that it was either the battery calibration that probably cause my problem. Thanks for having the patience to deal with what turned out to be just another user error situation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] highaltitude:
Any screen shots? I'm coming over from my Sony Xperia X10 and just about all the Roms I ran on that, the devs posted screen shots in the first post.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Well, in your case, user error may have triggered the bug, however - it was a bug nonetheless.

Since you're doing OK now my kernel release will probably get delayed a night or two so I can get some additional stuff into it. Just finished a motherboard upgrade.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] designgears:
It's it's stock touchwiz look, I never touch the theme.

AT&T SUCKS!!!

Installed Cog the day I got my SGS2. I have an unlimited data plan (grandfathered in) with AT&T. Cog. unlocks the tethering feature which I use frequently. AT&T just sent me a letter saying that "their records show that I use the tethering capability" and that they are going to automatically change my data plan to the DataPro 4GB plan. This is a downgrade from my unlimited plan which they no longer offer. How in the world did they know I was using the tethering feature?

Any advice? I feel it is my right to use it since I have an unlimited data plan that I am paying for.

Ps. They never caught this on my Cappy!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ywsing:
I have the same problem and I did not have nandroid backup.

Would you provide me the APN list which is working?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] arabcamel:
How much were you tethering? I tethered my captivate once in a while just for small things. If you are using GBs of data through tether than I think it is expected that they would flash you're account. I doubt that the ROM has anything to do with it. Not

100% sure though.

You should call then and trill then to leave you on the unlimited plan and you won't tether anymore
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wgarrido:
They don't know you are tethering. I have done it for years no problem even with 5gb of usage. And at the time that was with the medianet unlimited plan. Granted they are cracking down, but with our custom phones they can tell you are tethering.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Colton127:
I just got through my first "work day" with Cognition X2 installed on my Galaxy 2 II.

Everything is butter smooth, and runs amazingly well. Calls, texting, camera, etc are all very good - and TouchWiz is still extremely smooth.

My battery life does seem to be less then what I get out of stock ROM, though:

I unplugged my Galaxy S II (with 100% charge)9 hours, 14 minutes, and 54 seconds ago. During this time, the screen has been on for a total of 1 hour 52 minutes 11 seconds with the brightness as dim as can be. NOTE: Never did I once charge the device.

Currently, my battery is at 43%.

I assume that I should run it down to 0% (from 100%), and allow it to re-calibrate to adjust to the new ROM, right?

When I first installed the ROM last night, the battery only went down 15% for 1 hour of screen ON TIME (and WiFi on). That's pretty damn good, but probably very off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Haloruler64:
If you tether, don't go downloading large amounts of data. They do crack down lately, even on the Captivate.

By the way, technically it isn't your right to tether. You signed a legal contract. It's morally your right, maybe, but even that is arguable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wgarrido:
I think now with the caps you should be able to use the 2GB however you want. But that is for another discussion. Just my two cents.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
People on the 2GB plan don't seem to be getting nailed to my knowledge.

It's people on the unlimited plans that are being closely monitored for tethering.

In general, high usage seems to be one (but not the only) flag for tethering. I've only seen one report of a person with usage below 2GB that got flagged. (But it is possible.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wgarrido:
True, my netbook keeps getting texts about using a non data device sim. Sucks because it used to fine for the last 5 years. But now that everyone is tethering they have to crack down.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mcorrie1121:
Makes sense. Tethering could use up that 2GB in no time, then it's overage time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
They're getting hit too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] highaltitude:
I want to know why the f it matters if you tether? what heck is the difference if you down load a ton of chit to your phone or use the phone as a hotspot for a pc?

Rom seems good so far
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Haloruler64:
It doesn't, but companies wanna make money on tethering plans. It's in your contract. Heard T-Mo is doing the same thing now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] admrusty:
You may be able to reflash the ROM to fix the missing settings as it does not wipe your data when flashing. If that doesn't work, PM me and I will send screen caps of my settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] arabcamel:
Again, I don't know for sure, but I thought they would be able to know if you were tethering because of the UA string?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BNAS:
WOW!

I kinda Started a firestorm witht the tethering question huh... Good input from all. I checked my data usage at it stands at 1.7 GB for the billing cycle. I only use the tethering when out at certain clients offices that do not have wireless etc...

I know it's a contract, but I concur with a prior post that if you are paying for a data plan, regardless if it is 2GB, 4GB, unlimited, you should be able to use that data however you want. I feel legislative changes on the horizon over a lot of what these companies are doing.... IMO!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] designgears:
They can see you, they are getting the info from the mac address which is passed around in the packet data.

easy enough to see that isn't my phones mac address.

http://www.coffer.com/mac_find/?string=00:19:03
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
MAC doesn't make it through NAT solutions such as tethering... The outside world only sees the MAC address of a NATed device if some app embeds MAC data into a packet in places where a MAC normally wouldn't be placed.

Hell, even a non-NAT IP router won't pass MAC addresses through. Only an Ethernet bridge will.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dirtyballoonot:
What he said, however, I'm sure they have some way to tell you're tethering. It's greed, plain and simple...

With that said...Waiting for the next version
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I'm fairly certain browser useragent is one - also, while MAC address doesn't get passed through, most TCP stacks have identifiable "fingerprints" - how they choose initial sequence numbers, etc.

(for fun - play around with nmap...)

That may be why I've been fine with tethering so far - In addition to being a very light user, I always tether from a Linux box. :)

In-Call Notifications...

I asked this about COG on the Captivate, and I don't remember the STOCK behavior, but, it's wicked annoying getting notifications while on a call...

I'm pretty sure on STOCK it vibrates, but, isn't audible, with COG the notifications blast through whether on call, speaker, bluetooth, and the other party can hear it as well...

It seems like on speaker though it just uses the stock notification, and/or a random one and not even the one assigned to the particular app.

I looked for an app to mute notifications while on a call to no avail...

Am I really the only person that this drives crazy?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] arabcamel:
I just noticed this for the first time yesterday and agree that it can be a little annoying at times. I guess that's just one of the things we have to live with. I don't remember what happened on STOCK, but I am leaning to say that it didn't do this. I could be wrong though.

I don't mean this to be negative in any way, but someone mentioned it before too. It seems like the European version of Cognition is getting a lot of updates.

Is this version of Cognition going to be receiving updates as well or is this it? I really like it which is why i'm staying but I have an addiction to flash updated ROMs with new features and fixes. I was just wishing I could stick with Cognition.

thanks.
