It never hurts to wipe dalvich cache and cache other than the first boot after takes a little longer to rebuild the apps data and all. If you back up ALL your apps and data with titanium backup and if you still have any issues or weird issues you can wipe data/factory reset, reinstall the rom, install gapps, go to market and get titanium backup first, then use it to restore all your USER APPS (missing apps and data NEVER system data) and you will be back with a working rom within 10 minutes without any issues. Once you get the hang of it, it doesn't take long and very little setup other than screen Widgets. I haven't needed to on this phone but on my cappy I found that maybe every month or so a wipe data/factory reset and reinsralling all my apps helped keep it cleaner and smoother running.

Interesting observation - People running I9100 ROM ports may be vulnerable to the same bt_wake issues you've been experiencing. I saw mine for the first time last night - running SensatioN. I'm going to poke at it tonight, might find some stuff useful on CM7 - it seems like I9100 ROM ports suffer from the same issues some have reported on CM7:

1) Mic routing for calls (I can't find your commit for fixing this in github...)

2) Wifi tethering (See above for potential fix)

3) Crazy bt_wake wakelocks (oddly, I didn't even have Bluetooth enabled.) (Edit: This may not be related to installing an I9100 ROM - I just remembered that I was messing with SixaxisController last night - I'll need to investigate more.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
It doesn't hurt, and I do out of habit before every flash. Zero issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CNLiberal:
I must be doing something wrong then. Because I just did a nandroid backup (backup from CWM) and then wiped cache/dalvik then flashed nightly7. Now the phone won't let me unlock it with my PIN code (PIN enforced by company's Exchange server).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
i don't know how that would result in not being able to unlock your phone with PIN code. Actually, I'm not even sure what your referring to- (PIN enforced by company's Exchange server)..??

... that is how I flash every nightly, excluding the nandroid. (I will backup once in awhile, but have a few backups already)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CNLiberal:
I got on the #sgs2-att IRC channel and we tested this out. I did a fresh CM7.1 nightly4 install, setup the phone to ActiveSync with my company's Exchange Email server (which requires a 4 digit PIN). Setup the PIN. I then flashed directly to nightly7 (no cache/dalvik wipes). Rebooted phone, and was able to put my PIN in. I really have no idea what was wrong initially. I think in the future, I won't wipe cache/Dalvik and see what happens.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Odd indeed, your call on not wiping, but if you run into other problems, that could be why :o
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gaijinboricua:
First of all, great job on such an awesome ROM! since I installed it, I havent looked back.

I am currently testing nightly 10-31-2011 - build #4.

I started with the stable (installing gApps seperately), wiping all data, cache and davik cache, used it for a while, then upgraded to nightly 10-31-2011 build #4 using the ROM manager premium app. I wipe all data, cache and davik cache before install and included the gApps during this same installation.

Bugs I found:

1. When setting up how the time displays on the status bar, there are two settings, the regular one from android to set it at 24 hour or 12 hour format and the CM7 one that adds the pm symbol. It looks like if the CM7 setting of AM/PM is set (I used small size), the android setting is ignored for 24 hours. I know it sounds silly, but ti mgiht confuse some people as to why the 24 hours is not showing up.

2. I tried installing the Dolphin HD browser, when setting it up to default, the system rebooted and it stayed in a boot loop. To resolve this I had to go into the recovery menu and wipe data, cache and davik cache.

3. For unknown reasons I lose my data connection every 24 hours of the phone been on. It will still show full bars and the H+ from At&t, but no data will go thru and the market will keep on asking to retry connection. I usually reboot the phone and this gets resolved.

Just wondering, any plans for enabling NFC. I have seem Kang's work, but no one has answer if they will be working on enabling it in the near future. No biggie if no, just wondering. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] melbourne408:
1. There is one setting to display time in your status bar tweaks. Military or not it's not complicated.

2. I'd stay away from dolphin personally, IQ tests man.

3. That happens to most, everyone gets bad connections, just be patient for a minute and it should reconnect.

I'm sure the rest will be addressed.

So how is Build 7 treating everyone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
downloaded and flashed lastnight. So far so good. :)

try to toggle your wifi on and off, or even airplane mode. But like Melbourne said, it will usally come right back on after a minute. It's only happened to me a couple times but that'll usually fix it. A little faster than a reboot :o
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] atinm:
Looks like the fix works for us too - I'll push the change up soon. I have a dirty kernel right now as I'm also working on touchkey/backlight notification.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Globalrebel:
I read somewhere in the thread just recently this very same problem and wanted to put in my own occurrence.

If I use the Status bar toggle to start wifi, it shows that it has been started but it will not connect automatically. I have to manually select the network and then it will connect.

Other then that no problems with Nightly7 right now.

(I installed the latest android market, and it is force closing quite often tho . .)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Ah, have you identified a possible way to do it that doesn't wakelock the device like the BLN commits in Ninphetamine do?

And I hear you on the dirty kernel - there's a reason it took as long as I did to try the initramfs TCP buffer tweaks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tmckenn2:
Im not quite sure what you mean by "is this the case?" but you have found a picture of the battery found in a samsung galaxy s 2 for att. the release phone does have that battery, what it means is beyond me.

now i pulled the battery out of my phone and counted 4 contacts for the battery. no more. which would indicate that there is nothing extra in this battery than any other li ion battery ive seen (aka all battery's have 4 leads and so does this one)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I actually haven't gotten mine yet. Lol can you tell how excited I am to get it though :D.

I just remember the captivate when we got CM the camera wasn't taking pictures in full 5MP or 720p.. if I remember correctly. And being that the camera is such a huge improvement from that of the GSI.. I was just curious if it was working to its full potential :p

I get mine in about a week.. can't wait :D

Dope, finally got my dad to make the change over from his closed system phone to where its at, his just arrived and i'm going to unleash the magic once i'm home after my doc appointment. Here's a screenshot in comparison between my cappy and S II.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wesbalmer:
To be specific, that isn't necessarily true. It is more plausable to believe that an external antennae would only be inside the battery than a whole NFC device... requiring much less pins.

Edit: Sure looks like its more than 'just' a battery...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SysAdmNj:
I have been reading but still wasnt sure if noone will hear me when I make calls. I didnt even know about a top mic lol. So its possible to make calls successfully, correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drewdatrip:
First 2 kangs launch day i had very poor regular mic performance however i was audiable, while with the newer releases its only top mic. So for now if you want CM7 speaker phone or maybe a headset

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
nvm.. PM'd.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tmckenn2:
well I agree, there is no way to fit a nfc reader in a battery, while just the antenna would be very plausible to FIT in a battery. what I'm saying is that the number of pins leads me to believe that there are no other things.... you would need at least one other pin.

now that picture of yours is pretty clear (nice pic btw), now my question would be... how did they free up an extra pin when you need pins for the temp sensors and charging?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SysAdmNj:

After you mentioned it I checked out voltage control and was surprised I could slide the volts up to 1600Mhz, but it would only let me UV from 1200 down. I didn't keep it that way too long but it didn't seem to actually go to 1600Mhz. Maybe soon it will work at that speed? I thought I saw that the i9100 has the 1.6Ghz available?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SysAdmNj:
I dont know how I got to that point but I followed instructions to the tee. Then I re-read that I might need to install this twice so I wanted to get back into cwm, eventually I got in holding both vol up/down etc. I wiped again, installed again and now I'm good. Whew! Cm7 is running. I cannot wait until these nightlies kick in :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SysAdmNj:
I made a call, the screen went black for a few seconds then the call went through and I reached a voicemail. They then called me back and they heard me ok.

Another thing, Not sure if this has something to do with this version of cm7 but when I try to restore a backup using mybackup it says it cant find /rerware and when I find the path its actually /mnt/emmc/rerware and mybackup does not recognize this. Is it this rom or just the way samsung structures their file systems?

I am manually copying the backup files to /sdcard/external_sd/rerware and I think its working so far.

Mirophone Issues

Has anyone else had microphone issues in-call? Here's what's going on:

1. Mic doesn't work in call with regular speaker

2. Mic works in call when placed into "speaker mode"

3. Mic works for recording audio, and Internet calls

4. Headset mic works with calls

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Update: And I just searched through (using "mic" and not "microphone") and found the other issues, hope this gets fixed soon thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
To backup just use cwm or I also used rom manager to backup the device. Before I installed ANYTHING other than some apps after rooting it I flashed codeworkx kernel then rooted it. Went into cwm and backed up the stock rom. Then I flashed CM7 got everything set up the way I like it and then first time used cwm to backup CM7. Then I made some changes in CM7 and decided to try rom manager to backup rom and it worked with no issues.

I haven't used the app you are talking about so maybe I am off base here, but if you are wanting/trying to restore all your apps and user data then titanium backup works perfectly. You can get it to recognize that the titaniumbackup folder is in the emmc folder.

Ok, searched the thread and did not see this issue (or maybe used wrong search parameters) but my wife phone is having a wierd issue. I had her on the Beta when it was out and with that it just seemed to have slow market and other things, then I noticed the Nightlies came out and I upgraded her to Nightly 4. Since then, when her phone rings, it only vibrates and then either when she picks it up (if she notices the call) or when the call is missed, her ring tone then starts going off. If she does pick up the phone, her ringtone is playing the whole time. I went and upgraded her to the latest nightly (think 8) and it was still doing it. I went in and wiped the cache, davlik cache and then (just to be save) did the fix permissions. The phone is still doing it.

Does anyone have any ideas? I went in and even turned the Vibrate to never and it still only vibrates when rings and then ringtone when picks up or misses the call.. her notifications and notification for messages work normal.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
Try out this. Menu button, settings, call settings, make sure that vibrate every 45 seconds on outgoing call is off.

Wifi tethering is pulling ~4mbps on my laptop with 3 bars AT&T. Very nice, very usable.

Camera app still a little odd. It occasionally doesn't bring back the view finder area (black window but can still see camera options) after taking a picture, viewing the picture, then switching back to camera. Camera still works, just can't see what you're aiming at. Will do a LogCat if anyone is interested. If it has already been mentioned, nm.

I changed my build.prop dpi to 200 (ro.sf.lcd_density=200) AFTER experiencing the camera issue earlier today. Coming from Dell Streak 5 with a default dpi of 160, 240 just felt like using duplo blocks. Google voice does seem to black out the window while playing back voicemail. Everything else has worked beautifully so far. Might have to screw around with the PNG sizes for contacts.apk because my phone dialpad is a little small (but not squished). Has anyone already done this?

I literally only used stock/touchwiz for about 5 minutes after buying this phone before rooting and flashing CM7. I guess I'll have try out UnNamed rom just for ****s and giggles.

Well, it is assumed that (other than data usage stats) wireless service providers may use deep packet inspection to view whether or not your traffic is coming from your mobile or a tethered PC. If you set up a simple L2TP VPN server (or PPTP if you are feeling lazy) on your home network and connect your phone to it, then your traffic is encrypted end to end and therefore deep packet inspection is useless.

Of course, it is just as likely that AT&T looks at who uses more than 2GB of data and sends out their nastygram SMS messages and assumes tethering.
