These links might be handy for anyone looking for latest changes when the http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=galaxys2 page is down (seems to say "Yahoo API is down, please try about five minutes later" many times during the day for me.)

CM9 non device specific changes: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#q,status:merged+branch:ics+-device,n,z

SGS2 specific changes: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#q,status:merged+branch:ics+galaxys2,n,z

(and here you can see the changes still being worked on (ie - not approved yet) CM9 general and SGS2 specific.)

Then it's a good thing that there is no job contract for a benevolent action, that most countries don't recognise bad taste as an offence, that you're hopefully too far from him/her to do something as stupid.

...

or maybe it's just a good thing to have the option to turn keyboard sounds off, as almost everyone do anyway.

i am already suffering RILJ wakelock with the last update of 20120411, stock cm9 kernel and LPS modem. phone is always awake. there is not a single moment that it is entering deep sleep. better battery stats shows RILJ phone wakelock as the first and only wakelock.

sounds from keyboard messages

The sounds the keyboard can't be tourn off and they are very annoying in the latest nightly bult...i hope in the next one will be restored the old ones.

I'm still searching a fix for these.. especially for the first two ones.
[Galaxy S II General] MikeMurphy:
If someone suggests a free app I would be happy to be a guinea pig. I'd rather donate the money directly to the CM crew.

I've read of people having problems with slow GPS lock. With Wifi off I can't get any lock whatsoever. When my wifi is on the GPS is a quick and accurate lock. I'm running DUKJ1 modem for Vodafone Au 850/1900/2100mhz on my i9100T. Not sure if that matters. Maybe its the modems/basebands which are causing some to have problems with GPS and others to not? Same modem/baseband was great in CM7. If I can help do let me know.

April 11 nightly

Anyways, as always thank you Daniel for your work.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
Did you try the dock settings? I wonder which nightly the guy on head-fi used...
[Galaxy S II General] augustofretes:
Kudos for your sense of humor, you must be very popular!

"As almost everyone does" God, don't you love out of the ass statistics!

Of course I turned them off, but not because I like sounds off but rather because the sound selection is just terrible.

This was a childish minor mistake, is case of let's just change because we can! Now they should change it back or pick a set of sounds that is an improvement over the original set for any human ear besides the guy who changed them.

I deeply appreciate their effort, from that it doesn't follow that criticisms should be banned.
[Galaxy S II General] espenfjo:
Reboot your phone and do: "adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg".

This will provide the kernel messages, including when your phone hung (last 256 kb or something similar).

But do not reboot by pulling the battery, that will clear the last_kmsg afaik.

Re: BBS, it is still available for free to XDA members in the BetterBatteryStats thread on here.

Re: the GPS thing. Entropy said a few days ago there does seem to be an issue that affects some people (that might take a little while to fix). In the meantime, maybe try the AGPS patches floating around in this thread/elsewhere (CWM flashable). Can't hurt to try these.

Other thing I'd suggest is to get GPS Status from Google Play if you don't already have it. Go outside somewhere with a clear view of the sky. Turn on mobile data. Go into tools in GPS Status/manage AGPS state & reset XTRA data, then download to get new ephemeris data. Then wait as long as it takes to get a fix & while new satellite positions are 'learned'. Once you do this, you should get a fix fairly quickly from then on. If it starts to slow down again or doesn't work, try resetting the data/downloading it again. Also, if you use the patch, it has to be reflashed whenever you flash a new CM9 nightly.

If you've already tried the above, ignore me :) And if you try all this stuff & still have no joy, I'm not sure what would help. Might be a case of waiting for GPS to be finally fixed, maybe other people have other ideas.

Good luck ;)

[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
Maybe it worked and at some point it was broken without the developers noticing or it's just a troll. :-\

So unless the guy on head-fi, codeworkx or some other developer who actually KNOWS something about this clears everything up, it's nothing but a rumor for me.

Too true to be good. ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] Aqualunguer:
Well, yesterday, after losing 25% in 4 hours without using the phone, I charged it to 100%, downloaded the Battery Calibration App on the store and calibrated it.

Then I left it unpluged and 10h later it had used 10% battery.

Before doing that, I heard that the battery calibration wouldn't work on the i9100 for some reason I can't remember, but it seems it did work.
[Galaxy S II General] hIdd3N-:
so far nobody has provided proof that usb audio works.

Dock Audio works
[Galaxy S II General] 4qu4rius:
indeed :)

---------- Post added at 01:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 PM ----------

Sorry if I'm mistaken, but I was under the impression that Dock audio still uses the phone's internal DAC. While the idea here is to stream digital data to the external DAC and let it to its job.
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotcobain:
I tried everything with latest nightly but battery life sucks hard. :/. Don't know why. Just reading xda app lost a few % in 5 minutes. Wtf.
[Galaxy S II General] Arkanius:

But the data still comes from the USB port.
[Galaxy S II General] giannisr7:
Same here for latest build (no modifications on top of that whatsoever..)and LPS modem..Consecutive SoDs and reverted to 9-4build..

Providing battery stats screenshot is not possible after SoD...All I see after I reboot is the processes that just started after the reboot...Correct me if I am wrong but you have to declare a specific reference in time and start checking statistics from that point onward...

I think this is what someone (including me) with above problem should do in order to find the origin of the problem...

Hi and thank you for replying. I actually copy/pasted kmesg value to emmc and saved it online.

If there's anyone that knows what caused the phone to crash, do tell, as far as I can read, I just see this part being critical:

Does that mean its something that kernel did and I can't do anything about it or...?

[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
Yup. None of the devs are having problems.

The only thing I can think of (will try testing tonight) is the ARP filters are broken and people on "dirty" wifi networks are having problems. But that's not likely since the wifi drivers are still original from the ICS source drop.

JEEZ. READ BEFORE POSTING. THIS IS THE ONE KNOWN SIDE EFFECT OF HAVING A FUEL GAUGE THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE CALIBRATION - REBOOT ON LOW BATTERY WILL MAKE IT REPORT LOW FOR A FEW HOURS.

THIS HAS BEEN THE CASE SINCE THE I9100 AND I777 WERE RELEASED. IT IS A HARDWARE LIMITATION AND WILL NEVER CHANGE.

Stop reporting bugs with custom kernels please.
[Galaxy S II General] Dimand:
On 20120411 The audio is now redirected through the Samsung car dock if you enable it in the Dock settings. I cant tell you if the usb audio out works on other docks, I only have the car one to test it on. Thank you devs for getting this working.
[Galaxy S II General] kevjef420:
Is this true confirmation that dock audio does work.

Every time I tried a CM9 based rom there was no option for dock audio. There is an app on the market called galaxy sound redirector which is supposed to give you the option to route to usb dock when connected if your rom does not have option in settings. This worked in CM7. From what I know you still need kernel support for this to work.

I want to run a cm9 based rom on my phone but I need dock audio output as I use my phone in my car dock when I am driving and the audio is routed to the back of my stereo.

Can anyone please confirm

- does the dock setting exist now?

- is a specific kernel needed?

- does it in fact work?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] njwest:
I really hadn't thought I'd get a faster fix on my testes by using this. I know where they are, they're generally between my legs.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
That's the point.

Some developer needs to shine some light on this.

The question is if it was supported at some time.
[Galaxy S II General] Grimbolt:
Can anyone please confirm

- does the dock setting exist now? has been implemented on last build (04/11)

- is a specific kernel needed? CM9 stock kernel

- does it in fact work? did not test it myself, yet.

What i meant was 'which is the best latest nightly? '
[Galaxy S II General] Anderslash:
Try UHLPE, the modem which comes with Trinidad & Tobago Sammy's ICS ROM. I'm using it with TIM in São Paulo with no problems.
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
There is no best one - try what works for you in your setup. They all work and in general the latest is always the best but sometimes that's not true. For me that's the case now - for some other people they like 4/09 better, some say 4/04 is better. Use your brain that you were given and decide.

This is the main reason why CM9 is not for "regular" folks yet. There is no "Stable" build yet so if you don't plan on playing around and possibly constantly upgrading then wait till a CM9 Stable comes out. These nightlies are experimental still.

For everyone complaining about their favorite tone being missing as well as keyboard sounds changed:

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,13394

That would be why as they removed all the "old" ones, think they might still be there just stashed away which is why the file size didn't get smaller :D

Sorry im kind of new to this. Can you explain more? Umm. since using the last 3 builds, everytime i fully charge the phone, at a certain battery level, the phone shuts down and battery goes more than 30% of the original when i turn it on. This happens to me everyday so i dont think its the fuel gauge (or maybe im wrong, sorry), but i tried reverting to stock LP7 for two days and it did not exhibit the problem, leaving me to think .. when i tried 0411 build, there was it again.

Im so sorry if this may annoy you. Im kind of new and still learning..

I've got USB OTG Cable today. Whenever I connect my Pen Drive to the cable, it neither detects my Pen Drive as USB Storage, nor does it show in the Settings->Storage. The light on my USB drive isn't glowing in that behavior.

As opposed to that, when I reboot my phone with Cable and Pen Drive connected, at the time of booting the phone, The light glows and then later on I can see my Pen Drive both in File Manager and Settings -> Storage.

Is that the normal behavior? Do we need to reboot our phones to mount the Pen Drive with the OTG cable?

Another hotplug bug... :(

Yup. The "phone" APN will provide significantly improved speeds if you're on a "4G" (HSPA+) data plan - but it does not allow MMS.

Proper data speeds AND MMS requires setting up two APNs... it's a pain in the ass. CM7 never handled the dual-APN setup very well, dunno about CM9 - I never use MMS so I just changed my APN to "phone".

[Galaxy S II General] njwest:
It's a bug with the fuel guage. It isn't actually draining your battery by 30%, it's just reporting it as being lower than it is, so it will have identical battery life to what you'd get if it hadn't dropped. It's a minor annoyance and, as not a dev, I don't know what's causing it. Just accept it and move on, it isn't a deal clincher and, if it does that every day, you can anticipate it and get used to it.

72.<6>[11667.227325] usb usb2: New USB device found, idVendor=1d6b, idProduct=0002

This is _probably_ how the OTG cable itself is seen, as a USB 2.0 hub.

(I searched 1d6b:0002 in google, that's how lsusb would output it <-- I don't know much more about lsusb than that and I don't know how knowledgeable you are, so this might be enormously obvious to you)

So I can't see any other vendor/product ID.

I know by experience that a lot of USB devices refuse to work through a usb hub and require a direct connection with the host. If you have one such (usb hub), I suggest you try to use your USB DAC with your PC, as usual, but through the hub, and see how it fares.
