I have to say im amazed at the battery life

this was on the last build. I have frozen a few apps here and there but its nothing I use so no loss.

thanks for all the effort all the devs have spent to bring this you us.

snapps for you you :)

can't wait for a stable rom.
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
Baseband only affects the network signal

Bootloader is basically software that loads the recovery/Android OS/Download mode based on your keypresses/input
[Galaxy S II General] GFXi0N:
Ok, not trying to troll here, im just trying to make my mind up.... i have been using MIUI for the last weeks and i see its impressive... and two days ago i had the itch for CM9..... so i have been using it two days, but i still can't make my mind up!

Thing i see on CM9:

Simplicity

More updated Android Sources (4.0.4 vs 4.0.3 on MIUI)

The native launcher, faster than MIUI launcher

Things i see on MIUI:

Contacts interface giving you the choice of showing only contacts with a phone number

Reworked phone interface (when answering)

Full working hardware (there are really few things like TV out and FM radio which don't work on CM... but lets face it.... they are useless, at least, for me)

Samsung software (not sue if good)

So, can you give me any more reasons to stay with CM for once and for all?

I feel kind of bouncing from one rom to the other right now..... :confused:

Same for me with actual build. I set pattern / pin security lock under settings/security/lockscreen. Device is set to lock after 1 minute in standby. "power button instantly locks" is disabled. Even when trying to use "Delay screen lock" option, it does not work. Meaning the device always instantly locks when i push the power button.

Anyone got security lock with delay working ?

I did a factory reset with no apps installed. Still does not work.
[Galaxy S II General] melorib:
I never tried MIUI because it looks too much like iPhone :rolleyes:

I use RocketDial, does all that and more, including swipe left for SMS

If you dont need those hardware features nor Samsung apps, the speed of CM9 will be very hard to beat :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
What do you have set for "Screen Timeout Delay" and "Screen turned off delay"
[Galaxy S II General] jimh:
Change CSC

I came from I9100XWLP4 (4.0.3) which gave me a CSC: LUXLP1

I would like to change my CSC back to XEU which is what it used to be.

In CM9 when I type in *#272*Device IMEI# at Phone dial pad I get a error message about an unknown application.

is it possible to change the CSC this way or do I have to do something else?
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
Csc is something the stock Rom uses to add apns and carrier etc, it's not needed or used on cm9.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
Not many really...

CM development is much faster. Therefore you don't have to stick with problems for long times (usually).

MIUI is now based on Samsung roms. You have to rely on Samsung to fix stuff. And they don't release updates on an almost daily basis.

As already said, MIUI v4 is based on Samsung roms. This also makes it bloated, slower and less "integrated". I'm sure you've seen TouchWiz here and there in MIUI v4.

MIUI gingerbread was amazing.MIUI v4 is nothing but a joke in it's current form. MIUI GB was polished, stable and perfectly combined with CM7.

MIUI v4 feels like it was slapped on top of a Samsung ROM.

MIUI v4 on top of CM9 would be TEH ****!!1! xD
[Galaxy S II General] LiorScreamsSandwich:
thank you very much! it worked!
[Galaxy S II General] gbohm:
i think that is a samsung thing so no
[Galaxy S II General] ShimaMiku:
Thanks! That is so weird that my "system audio" got turned all the way down during the update. I had checked the volume settings, I wouldn't have thought that being a separate setting.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Hey it's the people's app and not contacts in CM9. Its like a SNS integrated app. So you are bound to see all kinds of contacts there.

If you want to see only the contacts with phone numbers, then go to phone app and go to the third tab. First you will see list of frequently called and then it's the list of contacts with one numbers.

So one is ruled out!
[Galaxy S II General] ShimaMiku:
Bump. I'm still having this problem, anyone else notice this or know of a way to fix it? I've attached some screenshots of my system settings and a Craigslist deal which was a 7 minute delay.
[Galaxy S II General] h2s2o8:
Does USB host mode work?? Doesn't work on CM9 and Hydrog3nics.

Or My cable is Faulty?

Big Thanx To Codeworkx and the Cyanogenmod Team for CM7 and CM9!!!

My phones seems to be switching off during file transfer. i am on 0704 nightly. Any ideas what the problem may be?
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
No I think it's not switched off. When you are transferring the file and if the screen goes off, and you press the buttons and screen just won't turn on. But give it a few minutes and once the transfer is complete your phone will start responding. I have this issue from long time and don't know why this happens.
[Galaxy S II General] FRLinux:
Speaking of which, I did 2 things this morning, flashing latest nightly and apply LPJ modem. One of them fixed my battery life. Willing to think it is the modem.
[Galaxy S II General] sazap10:
umm well it just stops the transfer. Says there is an input/output error
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
You have this issue when transferring files between you computer and device? And now when transferring the files between internal and external SD card?
[Galaxy S II General] benson621:
oh..

my phone have been no response with black screen only, and i have to hard restart it to make it work again, but i always wonder why the battery statistics was keep going.....

and now i know what should have been going on, but i didn't do file transfer by myself, the kind of SOD happened when i leave my phone for some time and i get back my phone, black screen and no response comes.

and anyone tells more about this bug??
[Galaxy S II General] sazap10:
I was trying to copy music to the internal sd card
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
You don't have CM9 kernel so can't really say but does this issue happen with other kernels?

Offtopic - you have AT&T in CT - LPR has a stuck H symbol for you as well? Doesn't drop back to 3G?
[Galaxy S II General] evolutiontheory:
You are a flash addict. I also had the same problem. Flash new roms whenever you feel like. Finally you will get over it. At least that's what happened in my case. Preference used to change daily.

For me MIUI is the best ROM for an ordinary user. Dare I say it packs more features than CM9 at the moment. And I personally prefer the white appearance to the black and blue look of ICS. CM top priority is stability and smoothness. And some configurations. But they are changing and you should see more stuff from them in coming days. MIUI is more focussed on looks but I am sure it will get stable as time goes. MIUI is heavily underestimated especially due to the launcher. I hope they had offered an alternative with an app drawer.

Right now I am in CM9. I believe with the increased focus in looks recently CM9 should turn out to be very themer friendly. And CM9 is hugely stable too.
[Galaxy S II General] gpat_XDA:
Are there any bugs on the 0407 build? I'm on the 0401 one and the camera randomly closes, also the clock in the top right of the screen often freezes.

Have been looking for such a feature but thought that there is nothing like this available.
[Galaxy S II General] shumo:
i have a question please

i noticed the latest nightly does not have the .27 kernel included . it is still 26

does this mean that it will still have the SOD problems from the previous release or is this kernel already fixed in regards to this issue ?

cos i don't know if i should flash the .27 kernel or not

and while i am on the subject ... is there any link for the changelog of the testkernels that codeworkx releases ?

thank you in advance
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
The 27 kernel is experimental.

The SoD problem was fixed a long time ago in the 26 kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] FRLinux:
.27 kernel has nothing to do with that fix.
[Galaxy S II General] shumo:
thanks both

do you guys know the changelog for the .27 kernel ?

or a link ?
[Galaxy S II General] marcosxd:
Pardon my ignorance:) but what is USB audio output? I mean, i know what a OTG cable is, but enabling audio output trough usb what is it for?

Thanks for clarifying

EDIT: could it be for example to use a USB gaming headset with the SG2?
[Galaxy S II General] apmos:
Hello,

I've been using latest nightly and have 2 issues.

Firstly, the number format in the dialer has spaces between numbers. This was an issue also in GB but after changing locale to EN_GB everything was OK. I tried changing all possible locale but the problem persists and it's very annoying.

Secondly, I cannot seem to find the option in SMS application to set unicode encoding for text. There is no option for this. Is it planned for implementation?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] ShimaMiku:
I just switched the kernel last night, but the delay problem has been persistent for over about a week. I even did a factory reset to try and alleviate the problem.

For being in CT, the H is just for HSPA which is a little better than just "3g" so it isn't really a problem.
[Galaxy S II General] mossief1965:
Since installing the latest update this morning I have had 2 problems. Firstly my phone used 61% battery in 3 hours with only 18 minutes screen time. The big battery users are Google services at 40% browser at 20%, even though I use dolphin instead of the built in browser, and then screen at 16%, and Android OS at 11%. Secondly the phone is running very hot and has only been in deep sleep for 40 mins and at 1200mhz for over 1.5 hours. Has anyone else experienced similar and can it be solved.
[Galaxy S II General] FRLinux:
Github, go to the source baby :-)
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
Sure - here you go: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/ChangeLog-3.0.27

Any other questions?

---------- Post added at 02:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ----------

Well yeah, that we know. However the phone is supposed to drop back to 3G (aka UMTS) when data is not actively flowing. This is a power saving method implemented since forever. HSDPA 7.2 or HSPA+ modes are only used during active data connections. As I said i'm not sure if it's only a graphical issue but using any radio than LPB seems to have the phone being "stuck" on HSDPA mode (actually says HSPA:9 in About Phone - Status) vs UMTS:3 which is idle power savings. Just wondering if you had the same issue.

---------- Post added at 02:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

Did you reboot the phone?
[Galaxy S II General] Alomo1990:
Seems like ext4 mounting is still not working?

I'll formated my external 32gb card ext4, but it doesn showing up when insert into the phone.

Edit:

Also tried Siyahn Kernel, no change
[Galaxy S II General] mossief1965:
Yes I did twice. I've rebooted again about 20 minutes ago and seems to be running cooler now, hopefully that will be all it needs.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
I doubt that, as that's more of an driver issue.

The point of USB-audio is this:

The original Galaxy S I9000 happened to have a high quality Wolfson DAC. In combination with Voodoo it was capable of delivering a sound-quality that left other high-quality multimedia devices behind.

The Galaxy S2 should have continued this, but instead it has a Yamaha DAC. Its sound-quality is FAR worse than anything you'd expect such an expensive high-end device to have.

A DAC is a "Digital to Analog Converter". It converts your digital audio stream into an analog signal that your speakers/headphones/earphones play.

Some people would call it a "Soundcard".

USB-audio redirects the digital stream directly through the USB-port and therefore avoids the processing by the crappy DAC. You'd connect a FiiO E7 (for example), which contains an external DAC and an amp.

This way you can connect high quality headphones (some really high quality ones - no beats crap) to the Galaxy S2 and still enjoy them. No background-noise, no distortion and, thanks to the amp, enough power to properly drive headphones that would be too silent otherwise.

Hope this clears it up. If there are anymore questions, just ask.
[Galaxy S II General] galaxyII:
one question out of curiosity. Why is the FM radio is not implemented?

asking just for educational purpose

thanks
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
Because FM-radio isn't standardized and therefore it's a ****load of work for each device and fixing it for one breaks stuff in every other device. Besides that only a few people use it.

I already asked what exactly would be affected by the fix for the S2, but got flamed to no end... :-\
[Galaxy S II General] galaxyII:
thanks. just wanted to know :-)
[Galaxy S II General] bseuhgm:
Sorry for noob question, but where can i find an option for answering a call pressing hardware central button? In stock ROM it is in Menu-Call settings.
[Galaxy S II General] atulalvenkar:
I too have the same issue with most of ICS modems.I usually flash KI4 as thats the one that gives me best battery. However i read in this thread someone saying LPJ doesn't hang on HSDPA but switches down to UMTS. Have flashed it will try tomorrow as i don't get a good 3G signal inside my house.

Gyroscope Calibration Issue

I've been unsuccessful in digging the forum and finding a solution to the Gyroscope calibration issue. Started noticing this when I tried to play Asphalt6. The car veers of the left. Its seems the gyroscope is 45degrees off! And yes, I have tried to calibration under Settings>Advanced>Sensors.

Anyone else facing this issue?

I tried to mount emmc...and the device shows only ext.,SD card but not internal SD in file explorer
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
Hmmm...

The internal memory is mounted under: "/sdcard/"

And the external under: "/emmc/"

Both work perfectly well, so the problem lies on your side. If you can't get it working, you should update to the latest nightly and do a factory reset.

But I had this problem with different ics stock roms too. That's why I thought, it's an ics-app-issue and not one of the rom.

[Galaxy S II General] augustofretes:
Hey, I've been using CM9 (loving it) since the first builds became available. I really like ICS. I'm thinking about selling my SGS II to buy a Nexus.

Is it worth it? The reason why I can't decide is because:

SGS2:

+ Better Camera

+ Better GPU

+ Micro-SD

Nexus:

+ Better screen

+ Faster Camera

+ Always up to date - More open

Codeworkx seems to lean over the Nexus, but I would really like to know why.

For the automatic backlight levels, who made those custom levels up? Are they taken to mimic Samsung stock settings or did someone say "Hey I think this is good for the i9100" and slap it in CM9?

SGS2 GT-I9100 | CM9
[Galaxy S II General] JohnnyGunn:
From official XWLP4 to CM9

Hey guys....I don't want to waste anyone's time, but I've tried searching and I can't seem to find an answer to my situation.

I'm currently running my SGS2 (i9100 Bell Mobility) on official Samsung firmware XWLP4(Luxembourg) and rooted using CF-Root-SGS2-XX-OXA-LPS-v5.4-CWM5.

Now I want to flash CM9, but I'm confused when it comes to the install, can I flash directly from recovery (with my current version of CWM, or will the root I currently have not permit that since it was designed for LP4) or will I need to go the cm9 Resurrection Edition through Odin route? The whole running ICS Bootloaders lower than LPH is confusing me.

Sorry for being the noob with the stupid questions.
