Long time lurker, first time poster here.

Did anything come of the video recording zoom issue in 1080p?

I understand it's easier on the phone to record a zoomed image instead of scale the image, but is this the sole reason? How heavy is it on the phone to scale instead of zoom? Because it can be pretty frustrating.

Now why would ur wifi be off and data be off bit fishy to me :/ just give the phone back to who ever u have took it off, go buy ur own or simply use the web else where and log into ur google account.

Ps. If u was to back ur data in the first place then u wouldnt have a problem reseting ur phone

Arghh, just flashed 0409 from 0404 and I'm stuck at boot animation. I have the bootloader from OP, and never had this problem before. Tried a couple of times to flash it again, wiped cache/dalvik, fixed permissions, nothing.

I can actually get an adb shell prompt, and this is on my logcat:

[Galaxy S II General] legendary_:
Hey,

What is the difference between /data/app and /data/app-private?

Why all files inthere are ending with "-1.apk". Why don't just leave the name as is.

What's the difference between the processes "Android System" and "Android OS".

What is each of them doing?

Is speech input possible for all text fields? If yes, how? (The little loudspeaker symbol can be found only at certain textfields).

What does it look like in code if you are requesting root? Is this done automatically if you are using a feature which would require this? If yes, please give an example which pops up such an (deny/allow root) dialog.

Are there any issues with uploading? Ive noticed that I can't upload anything that's over about 50kb. It just keeps failing and restarting.

Been trying to upload things to dropbox and Google docs using various apps and also just noticed this morning that I can't send emails with an attachment either as it just gets stuck in outbox. No attachment and it sends fine.

When I was uploading to drop box it was a 1mb PDF and it kept uploading about 5-10% then failing and restarting.

I've tried a lot of different modems but it made no difference.

Is this something logcat can help with? If so I'll try to get one tonight. Never done it before.

Hi,

I'm have a problem on doing phone calls.

When i start a phonecall it's working normal, for about 15 sec somtimes more sometimes less, and then the phone suddenly loses all connection. phonecall breaks down, wifi not connected,... after about 20 sec phone and wifi is connected again but when i do a phonecall it's the same.

May u can help me?

did someone say battery life ?

look here...

it currently is the best batt life i saw but why did this drop happen ?

running 1.5 to 2 days is not a biggie with 3g/data/autosync(gmail,whatsapp.....) on ^_^

anyone wanna shed some light on this ?

plus on easy-normal use how is everyone doing with A-os usage ?
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
prove it!
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
Obviously if you don't use your phone then AOS usage will be the highest. Seems you have 3G off as well (only Edge - unless that's all you have available or at the time of the screenshot).

How much screen on time do you have then is the main question?
[Galaxy S II General] lyndonguti:

Your screenshot doesn't show any AudioOut_1 locks at all!

Did you change something to accomplish this, which nightly are you running, is it a clean install or upgrade... ? For me AudioOut_1 is always the number one wakelock by far...

[Galaxy S II General] boggsterman:
Understood, but in my logs that i posted yesterday there was definitely a problem. Attached again here for convenience. During the first one the RIL crashed twice before i deleted the message. In any case, if it appears it's just me and maybe a couple other users then i don't expect you to work on it really. As mentioned before this bug only shows on South Africa Vodacom network an T-Mo Austria, so i don't think you will be able to reproduce the bug yourself. (perhaps it is something to do with the SMSC numbers of our networks being unexpected values?!)
[Galaxy S II General] Bozmo:
Thanks for such a great custom ROM!

[Galaxy S II General] cammel:
I have had the same battery time on every phone and every rom I had. It is all related on how much you use it. I use my phone all the time, wifi all the time on, gmail, twitter, calendar, all syncing option are on, data all the time on, wifi sleep policy set to never turn off. Screen time: all time on, I'm always looking something, watch two series episodes at midday with full brightness, then I set automatic bright on the rest of the time, always downloading series and roms on the phone, I never use the computer, I do everything on my phone, and let me say that with all smartphones I had (iphone 3gs, iphone 4, Motorola defy, motorola Atrix 4g and now this galaxy s2) always unplug my phone at 8am, and by 2, maybe 3 pm I have to charge it with maybe 10% battery left. No matter what phone or rom I use, always same battery time. So, my conclusion is that depends on the use you have with the phone, and no with rom itself. I have a xoom too, and with only 4 hours of screen on and the rest of the time on stand by, I get almost five days of battery life, but if I use it the way I use my phone, I'm pretty sure I will not get one day of battery life, so that's my point. Everything depends on the use each person have with the phone, so I think it's useless compare your battery life with other users battery life, because nobody uses their phone the same way.

(And sorry about my English...)

There's the problem, it's cut off at the end. 1100 missing.

But that's not a CM9 problem since the value which is coming from RIL is wrong.

I had a quick look at your logs.

one difference I see between the before and after setting smsc number there is after the smsc number is set there is a call to the method requestGetSmscAddress() this method is not called on the first go (before setting the smsc number)

I'm no android dev expert (yet, but getting there :) )

maybe its something to look into... maybe not... I sure hope it is

nah i keep it on auto when at work other than that its strictly wcdma only as 3g is pretty bad where i work, standing outdoors i get a 2-4 bars of h+ and indoors 1bar is the max but edge is almost always full

screen time is usually around 2 hours in those 1.5 to 2 days

but currently trying to get that A-os usage down by any means... it gets to around 2-3 hours of awake time in total which i find is a bit too much (btw i'm only syncing gmail and nothing else from the g sync list)

---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 PM ----------

audioout_1 was a bad wakelocker at first and then i found out hooking up any aux/headphone in and playing music/internet radio start that service, so simply i try to not use it as much as possible, and once done the only way to stop its use is by restarting the phone as to my own experience...

it all started with 3 wakelocks

audioout_1

A-os

mediaserver

mediaserver is totally random, i still cant find what gets it working or whatnot it just comes and goes, couldn't replicate it to actually find a way to stop it from working, might call me a liar but its been there a few times taking my batt slide down from the normal idle slide to 2-3x the power consumption i hope i can find the culprit tho...
[Galaxy S II General] fstof:
059172281991 is correct... this is what the smsc number should be. on the set the rest gets cut off because its not needed as the first byte "05" indicates only the next 5 (hex) bytes should be used (up until 1991) which excludes the 1100 that is why on the get smsc bit does not include it... this is correct

Is there any walkthrough about how to setup environment + compile your own nightly?

Is there any risk involved flashing a rom you might compile yourself? (like bricking or something?)

Thanks!!
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
If you flash a failed build...

But I think that if you're smart enough to set everything up, you won't do this actually.

Tutorials are on the wiki. Literally on the first page.
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
usually searching would do that:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II:_Compile_CyanogenMod_(Linux)

Builds you build yourself can fail to boot but generally not brick since the bootloader is not touched. It'll more likely fail to build however.
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
I'm likely going to yank the fixed-frequency (performance and powersave) governors... They never behave well on Samsungs.

Also forcing frequency to 200 MHz can negatively affect battery by causing the device to hold longer wakelocks... I usually use min 200 max 500.

Facebook is evil. It's the main reason I still keep a task killer around, and I also use Autorun Manager to make sure it doesn't start at bootup. It's been a battery hog for well over a year. It sucks less now (a year ago it was a guaranteed perma-wakelock), but it still sucks.

I didn't like Friendcaster last time I tried it - maybe I'll give it another time.

Some guy came up with a mod for that - I gave him information on how to submit it to gerrit, he hasn't submitted yet to my knowledge.

If you want to learn about hardware and such as a precursor to kernel work - give a try at microcontroller development. Atmel AVRs are easy to work with and fun - instead of just printing out some lame text, most "hello world" programs blink lights. :)

Google it... The Cyanogenmod building instructions are not difficult to find. You'll need a Linux machine (Ubuntu is easiest) - MacOS is possible but difficult.

[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
Bollocks to that, considering the underlying device files, aka some of the bits that effect battery life the most are the same, aka all the "AOSP" roms use the CM9 kernel, libs etcetc, so yeh, unless you have wakelocks keeping your device awake, the battery life should be basically the same.

Battery life on 20120409 is excellent... at least until a phone call has been made.

It seems that the phone stays awake and that phone.apk drains the battery fast afterwards.

In the attached screenshot, my phone was pretty much idle for the first 2/3 of the total time. After that I had a phone call which lasted only a few seconds. After that the screenshot shows that the phone stays awake.

Is this a known issue, or something only happening to my phone?
