I am thinking along those same lines. What puzzles me is that the overlay only appears on her phone background and when I replace the default with a picture, the overlay is not there. However, if I remove the picture back to the default, the overlay returns.

It's almost as if each individual contact has their own background image and her background just got corrupted somehow.

EDIT: Well crap..... My fix of deleting the contact and resyncing fresh didn't work. The overlay is still there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lithid-cm:
Do you see this when your using the rom without syncing to google first? At that point you would be running everything from the rom without anything being "synced" causing the issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ddominator:
Great job to all responsible for his ROM.

I am wondering if we can use a different kernel besides Entropy's. Siyah kernel would look slick on Unnamed. I'm thinking NFC won't work if I switch kernels.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rescue9:
I'm not sure. As this doesn't happen all the time, it takes a while before it glitches. By that time, I've needed to sync to get apps. I don't sync any contacts with google, only Outlook via Funambol.

Previously I mentioned that the delete & resync didn't work. That isn't entirely correct. It took me a while to troubleshoot the problem and get my reproducable steps correct. I had sync'd the phone to Outlook BEFORE I deleted the contact. After I delete the contact and resync'd the text was still visible. When I finally deleted the contacts from both Outlook and the phone, preformed a clean sync (still no contact), then created the contact in Outlook and resync'd to the phone.... low and behold the text was no longer there.

This leads me to believe that it's somehow tied into the actual contact picture and not an overlay, and is being transferred back and forth with each sync. Very strange.

Now... let me bring a new piece of information into the mix. I remember receiving a text message while I was on the phone with my wife. I use Handcent as my text app and have 'quickreply' enabled. I'm wondering if there is a glitch between Handcent and the default phone app, though I wouldn't know where to start debugging this.

Strange indeed. BTW.... thanks for your help.

by removing the "wake lag" will that make the phone drain battery faster? from what by that is that the phone doesn't really go to sleep, thats why it wakes up faster.

How are you using NFC, if I can ask? Are you using a tag reader or such? I mean, we don't have any working Google Wallet builds for this phone/ROM combo, correct? :confused:

I haven't seen that icon before but it looks kind of like a cake with candles. Maybe it is a reminder for a birthday that it gets from contact info?

I have to say I ran stock until gtg updated UnNamed from the stock build uckh7 to the leaked build before loading and all I can say, is I wish I would have flashed UnNamed from the beginning because UnNamed is rock solid, the first 24 hours battery life went down in the tubes but now even better then stock mostly debloated, rooted and unlocked att build with wifi sharing as well as sns crap running uckh7 *odex*. gtg awesome Rom you have here and I have to say Thank You for all of your hard work too!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PuffinNugz:
if you're stock, wait for full version to finish uploading and follow instructions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] goojman:
So I wouldn't be able to install the new update then?? Are you sure about that?? Never had a problem flashing from stock before?? I just wanted to know which update to flash from rooted stock?? Anybody with experience can help??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sailador:
No, he is saying that you should install with the full version not the updated one. The full version of 1.03 is still uploading
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
Yeah, if you're on v1.0.0 still you need to flash the full version to get caught up. It's a no wipe package so just flash the full version and you'll be up to speed... won't lose anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PuffinNugz:
anybody with experience? lol. you won't need to do the updates, because the full version that is uploading is already 1.0.3. the updates are for people that already have 1.0.1 or 1.0.2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dbsltmch:
I am not saying that you have bug in the rom. I am just trying to figure this out. I have tried to figure out what is going on my end as much as I can before I posted a question. I like this rom a lot, I just wish the default email client would work for exchange.

My exchange server is not down as I am syncing fine using TouchDown email client. It just cost money to use TouchDown app after 30 days.

I didn't use TiBu to restore data. I didn't use anything else except google to restore the apps. I even skipped the google restore and tried to set up the sync and it still failed. I also fully wiped the data when flashing.

I am kind of new at android so I might have done something not right but I have much experience in windows mobile side in the past and your instructions are clear cut so I don't think I missed any steps but who knows.

I did wiped the data from CWM menu and installed zip from sdcard.

I don't know what is going on as it seems that others are fine with their exchange setup.

I will give it a go with your 1.0.3 version and see what happens.

thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] goojman:
Thanx
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dbsltmch:
exchange sync error

I upgraded to 1.0.3 and still same problem. I will try to flash the full version instead of upgrading it and see what happens. Do you think if I flash different kernel it might fix the problem?

this is really getting frustrated. And seems to me that I am the only one with this problem. Dang.

:mad:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Vomesh:
I am having the exact problem. I can use any email app other than the default app with no problems. I even did a full wipe and installed 1.03 and still happens. This is also happening for me with the Perception RC1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] contentryder:
double tapping home button doesn't bring up vlingo anymore. can you fix that?

thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Yea that would be nice if we could get vlingo to come back up with the double tap.... or if we could get the option to assign the double tapping of the home button to be a custom app of our choosing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] id10terrordfw:
Same here, except for trying Perception. I have tried extracting the email.apk and accountsandsync.apk(or similar) from Cog and UnNamed 1.0 which worked as well. As a Domain and Exchange administrator for my organization, I can assure that it is NOT my Exchange or Enterprise network causing it not to authenticate. I have even restored the default APN's from the stock ROM (saved with APN Backup and Restore before I rooted) and it did not solve the issue. If I weren't the oncall server admin this weekend I would try to do more to resolve, but I must have working exchange connection for my job.

EDIT: 1.0.0 started redoing it after a clean flash, too. I'm re-flashing CM7 to check it. It may be Samsung-side.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
Hopefully a fresh install of 1.0.3 will fix your issue. If not I have no clue what it could be as some others have said their exchange is working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
Maybe because of the unsecured kernel. Would be weird, but can you guys give the stock kernel a go? The kernel is really the only commonality between this and perception.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
That is by design. There is an addon you can flash in the first post to re-enable double tap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] id10terrordfw:
Actually, i'm beginning to think it may the Samsung provided email client, specifically server side. If you read the disclaimer that pops up when you add an Exchange account, it appears to say that Samsung will collect some info such as IMEI. It may be an authentication issue on their end, as I can verify for a fact that my Exchange environment is set at minimal security levels, basically if you pass the AD credential check, then get verified that ActiveSync is enabled for the AD account (which I have triple checked) then it lets you in. That could explain why Perception is doing it as well. Much like what happened to RIM earlier this past week.

And yes, I am sadly one of our two BES admins as well and had to deal with those complaints. What a hell of a week.

No joy. Flashed the stock + CWM from Entropy.

However, works fine with AOSP Email client from CM7.(at least for adding the account, then it just FC's to hell.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
I think so too. I know there were some news articles saying Google's exchange servers were having issues. I'm pretty sure this mail client is using Google or Samsung's servers in some way, shape, or form even if your company's exchange servers aren't connected to Google. Apparently exchange was working fine for people in v1.0.0 originally and now it isn't, even on v1.0.0. This leads me to believe it's some kind of server or authentication issue unrelated to the ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] id10terrordfw:
And since it seems to only be affecting the Samsung client, not the AOSP client as it works on CM7 with no issue, I really think it has to be on Samsung's end itself. Especially since my Gmail also works fine still on CM7 in Exchange mode.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Stock + CWM??? I never released anything like that.

If you flash to my Stock + Root package, or even better, bone stock, does the problem continue? If so, something happened server-side.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] id10terrordfw:
My bad, i had your dd 10/9 and codeworkx's stock +cwm and tried both and just got distracted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pj1000:
Just download BLN from market, then make sure you go in settings and activate it. Been working for me like a charm.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
No ROM can fix this because it isn't a ROM or kernel bug - it's caused by an app that drives network data to the phone, waking it up repeatedly. However, since the app itself spends little time handling data, the battery usage gets blamed on the device, not the app that caused it to wake.

Seriously, there are entire threads on this issue, there is no fix other than finding the app that's driving network data to your phone (most common culprit is Skype)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RJvXP:
Hello was wondering if anyone experienced failed camcorder recordings on 2.1.1? I was at a Christmas party recording at 1080p and about 2 to 3 minutes into recording it stopped with a pop-up saying recording failed and it didn't save the video. I killed the camcorder app via task manager and tried to open it but when it came up it couldn't record. I had to restart my phone and went back to recording video but again 2 to 3 minutes into recording it failed again.

The recording location of both videos and pictures is to the sd card so I was wondering if a speedier sd card is needed?

I'm using a 32 gb Sandisk class 4. Also i couldn't recreate it when i got home (i just left it recording like a wall or me doing hand gestures movements to see if the camcorder will fail again) but when i recorded video at the Christmas party there was lots of movement and lots of noise at the party that i was recording.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] demon9206:
Just a theory:

(compressed) videos use higher bitrates when brighter objects are in the video. Maybe you hit a point where the video bitrate got to be higher than your SD card could manage. For most things, Class 4 should be fine, but for recording "long" videos, maybe a type of buffer was overfilled because class 4 wasn't fast enough.

So Try recording something bright, and lots of noise, and see if it happens again. It if does, try saving it to phone and repeat the test.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RJvXP:
Thanks, I'll try to test that out. Hopefully I can find a situation where I'm able to recreate it. I just wasn't sure if any of the mods to the camcorder (besides the audio) would've beefed up the resulting video that a faster SD card maybe needed.

I haven't had one problem at all switching back to this rom.

Sorry to hear that other people aren't so lucky.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Not really - 150 msec in, 650 msec out. Even a device that's 150/150 like the Infuse will skyrocket Android OS if it's waking that often.

Root problem is frequent waking - it's slightly worse on the I9100 and I777 due to waiting for the modem to wake up, but it doesn't actually use huge amounts of CPU doing it.

At one point I experimented with a kernel patch that would hold voltage at 800 but still allow frequency transitions - the phone would stay at 200 most of the time then. However it would SoD occasionally.

If you have high battery drain and low deep sleep percentages, something is either keeping your phone awake or waking it up too often, period. My phone drains around 0.6%/hour on wifi, and less than 1%/hour on cell data in moderate signal.

Gmail

I did a search, but couldn't find anything on this.

When I try to reply to or create an email with the gmail app and need to attach a file I have updated or changed in some way, the app only opens and connects to the picture gallery and will not allow me to navigate elsewhere on the phone to find the file I need.

The only way to attach the new file is to navigate to the file (outside of the app) and select share via gmail; where it creates a new message. I use gmail for work, and this method is not conducive to keeping email threads organized.

I did not try the stock email app, only gmail. All of my accounts are gmail, so using the stock app would be redundant.

All that said, is this an issue for anyone else, or am I the exception?
