Faster fix is NOT the answer. The problem is not ROM (or kernel) related. It is a natural phenomenon, and if folk bothered to read the recent posts on it they wouldn't a) keep asking the same question over and over, b) make themselves appear dumb, c) provoke someone to offer useless solutions based on hearsay and BS.

Weird assumption.

The host file is always used, putting some more lines in there to block ads is not going to affect performance. Internet speed will be increased, because ads will not be loaded.

You can easily backup/change the host file with AdFree, I have been using this forever and it's great.

hi i'm using cm9 rc2 and i found an issue.

I use mobilevoip. When i cover the lightsensor while i make a call the screen goes off which is good. But when i uncover the lightsensor the screen stays off.

thanksssssssssssssssssssssssssss it work good thank you very match
[Galaxy S II General] DrunkFuX666:
Its most likely a problem with the app, not the firmware.

Vonage, talkatone and viber have similar issues... either the light sensor doesn't turn off the screen... or they don't turn the screen off at all... they just throw up a dark screen while keeping it on... hence application limitations...

With recent builds i can't disable the softkey backlights permanently.

With auto-brightness enabed the backlights turn on again as soon as the brightness changes, no matter if i use CM9 auto-brightness or LUX.

(LUX worked before)

Is this because of Siyah or does it also happen on CM9 stock kernel?

Is it possible to create backups with the current Nightly without my SD gets formatted?

Or my internal SD card will be deleted as in the Nightly from 20.07?
[Galaxy S II General] bahaa89:
Firstly I looked at the changelog and I saw that today's nightly is ready so I didn't pay attention to the file name in downloads :)
[Galaxy S II General] CRXed:
No Siyah support here.....

But look in Settings - Advanced - Sensors....

And also look at the Buttons column in Autobrightness levels. Anything above 0 will turn the backlight on.
[Galaxy S II General] cloak:
It isn't a natural phenomenon. I've reload the day 14 build and my GPS problems are gone, even in house! I've a lock within a few seconds now. With all newer builds it's taking ages.

Also CWM 6.x is too buggy it's better to use the latest 5 release and wait till rel 6 is more realible.

Whats more of a concern is that he's allowed his wife to get an iPhone!!
[Galaxy S II General] marsexpress:
This problem does not exist with the stock kernel, not for me anyway. When I tried NEAK kernel I also had this problem and it could be solved by editing the following file /sys/class/misc/notification/led_timeout and changing it from 3000 to -2 to disable the backlight keys. Don't know if this will work with Siyah.
[Galaxy S II General] Syrellaris:
I take it that the Dutch XEN (XWLPD) official Firmware and the CF root kernel for it, XX-NEE-LPD is a lower bootloader then LPH?

So I was wondering, according to the Original post it says one has to run a bootloader lower than LPH. Since I really want to install the CM 9 RC instead of the ressurection edition, I was wondering if a Kernel designated LPD is lower then LPH
[Galaxy S II General] wltklah:
I always flash from internal sdcard. I will check out the mounting, but I still think there is something going on with CWM. It never happen with countless nightly flashs before. Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] colacola:
fix up nandroid and install zip menu to allow external_sd and emmc

The above problem appears to have been fixed on the 0720 nightly.

From changelog.bbqdroid.org

You'll probably need to try another method of flashing.
[Galaxy S II General] wltklah:
Thanks for the reminder. I can still use my phone. It's just that I can't flash anything with CWM now. I am backing up stuff now and plan for a full wipe.

---------- Post added at 08:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 AM ----------

Do you think that I can flash the old Cm9 via Odin and then use the CWM to flash to the latest nightly? Will flashing the old odin version of CM9 wipe my phone?
[Galaxy S II General] marsexpress:
I know we've established this already but just to confirm, I flashed the latest nightly (22/7) and performed a successful backup to internal SD from CWM, without trashing my SD Cards!

Does anyone else have issues with the mic levels after RC2? I was using nightly 0713 without issues before RC2, and after update i need to speak directly into the mic to be heard. I've tried every nightly after RC2, I reverted back to 0713 and tried wiping everything. Nothing helps. Could be hardware? Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II General] colacola:
Frankly, I do not have much experience with Odin. But if I remember correctly, if the .tar.md5 has the file data.img in it, it will wipe your phone.
[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
Yeah I think it will wipe the data cuz in the OP for noob instructions, it doesn't say to wipe data after flashing the RE... whereas a factory reset is a must when flashing cm9 from stock roms... so I think the RE wipes data automatically..

problem with the GPS tracking

problem: today, I used My Tracks for recording my hiking route, but I found that the tracking was working only when i turned on the monitor.

I have tried turned off the monitor for one hour, then I found that the places I went in that were not recorded in the My Tracks record, but the places with the monitor turned on did. (the GPS should have been turned off when my screen was off, because the first 30seconds after i turned back the screen on, it's finding GPS signals, and finding my location)

I don't know it's the problem of this rom or GS2, because I could do it when I used Motorola Defy before with no problem when turning off the screen.

So I am wondering if I can do the same thing here in my GS2.

Thank You so much.

And I am a user from Hong Kong, please forgive my poor english.

btw, i am using 20120718 nightly with no more modification.

Nothing happened. I installed nonoh and poivy, and have the same problem. These apps are clones of mobilevoip.

[Galaxy S II General] LenAsh:
The (miniscule) signals received from each satellite contains a stream of data. The current solar activity is likely to cause more EMP noise to affect the signal and thus the data therein is likely to be more difficult to decode.

It has to be said that the GPS receiver and the decoding within most mobile phones will be somewhat less than robust. Read cheap. Whereas the decoder in dedicated SatNav systems and Sat TV, for instance, have been designed from the ground up to recover and correct signal errors far better, as basically this is their sole function.

My Nissan Connect (Bosch made) SatNav has had no problems at all this weekend, but some of our phones (but not all) have had no real problems at all. Likewise, SKY TV has been OK, but the signal quality bars on the receiver are displaying lower than normal levels - I suspect that there is considerable error correction and buffering going on under the hood. Certainly good enough to watch Bradley do his stuff this afternoon.

Check the performance after dark...

Also keep in mind that a dedicated GPS unit probably has a significantly larger antenna in it than any phone which has to also have cell antennas, wifi antennas and the rest of the phone hardware in it, phones are also often smaller and thinner than a typical GPS unit.
[Galaxy S II General] malikasif567:
I cannot lock onto GPS signal even though I have 12 satellites in view. Solar radiation is perhaps the cause of this but I'm not sure if that's a plausible enough explanation.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
What sort of explanation would you like?
[Galaxy S II General] Testraindrop:
With the GPS Test App I have right now 6-8 Satellite in view, but they all have a SNR below 30, means the Signal to Noise ratio is rubbish, 100 is like perfect signal, 30+ seems to be acceptable signal and everything below has to much noise/interferences. Yesterday I needed 3 minutes for a first fix, after that I assume it cached some data I got a fix in 3-5 seconds, today with new satellites in sight still no fix even after 5 mins.

BUT in Google maps I get instant Position using the mobile Network and its also quite accurate, so this in not a problem for me so far.

Edit: see screenshot of malikasif567

Btw. even people with stock roms have no fix, so no need to blame CM, blame god.

Well, GPS relevant would be the recent HAL change.

That's why the brightness sensor works now. And there where reports of GPS problems with the other HAL - the one that's used now. Maybe the devs only thought it would work flawlessly, and now it doesn't.

I've tried it live by hiking today, and the first fix takes ages. Afterwards it worked better.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Search the forums, people using Samsung stock ROMs are having similar GPS issues, that was the HAL CM was previously using, plus the HAL they switched was the sensor HAL not related to the GPS, again this is not a CM issue it's a global issue related to additional solar radiation causing magnetic and RF interference in the atmosphere, people can continue to blame it on CM but a simple search of the entire XDA would find a number of threads reporting the same problems on non-CM ROMs. In fact I can confirm that both my GNex on JB stock and my N7 on JB stock are having the same problems with locks.

It's always like this ;) but no one can say that:

battery is bad? ROM, Kernel, usage, temperature, etc...

can't run game? ROM, something screwed like removing DRM, Kernel, etc...

SOD? Something screwed with the ROM, Kernel, UV, your fault, etc...

Can't lock GPS? Solar radiation, sattelites in a bad place, I'm in a bad place, bad time, modem, ROM, etc...

Freeze? something screwed, ROM, Kernel, your fault, etc...

see? that's how we need to think before reporting bugs being sure it's something that usually isn't the cause.

Solar radiation was being discussed before, if you disagree, feel free to disagree, but at least give some arguments [good arguments, of course] ;)
