There is no 'best' modem, you need to try them each out to find the one that offers you the best reception/battery life etc. For what it's worth i'm on TalkMobile which operate on the Vodafone (UK) network and i've found LPS to offer the best so far

Nice but how does it work? I install the new cm9 then flash this and once booted up to desktop it will automatically install google and remove the stuff? I'll have to backup the email apk as I find it the best to use :)
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
The reason i said to try them out is so you learn what works for you. Obviously your current one doesn't work but it works for someone else otherwise they wouldn't all be there. Quit being lazy and just download them all and flash 1 at a time and test!!!

Today when I was building cm9 I got message:

THIS IS DEPRECATED, AND WILL BE DISCONTINUED

Please configure your device to download the kernel

[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Its a change so that the kernel is built every time you run a build rather than having codeworkx build it and upload it to the CM git, the change for SGS2 is waiting on review and merging so it doesn't currently work and is still running the old method of using the prebuilt kernel, you can cherry pick it as another poster said, but you may run into some issues, I guess Entropy512 had an issue with the I777 version. It wont make any difference to your build, just wait for the merge and that message will go away.

I have to second that. I've been looking for some info and looks like there is an issue with the fuel gauge meter or something like that. It's not displaying the percentage correctly. I ran some tests yesterday and for a moment battery was going up instead of down. I also had a big drain (1% every one or two minutes), even in deep sleep. I was waiting for the battery to completely run out of charge but it lasted about 30 minutes on 1%. So they might take a look at it later...

I can also see that it drains faster when it is fully charged (100% to 85% --> 1 hour with no use) but when charge is lower (70% to 60% --> 2 hours with no use)

Barely used my phone today for something else besides tapatalk.

I have Sim tool kit working properly. It might be carrier dependant then. Some users have it, some others dont...

Using latest build I cannot seem to get any information from the AGPS, GPS Status always shows "0" from AGPS.

I don't know if this behavior is normal or not, anyway, with wifi enabled it seems to locate in a better way but also it shows "0" again from the AGPS.

I tried using default CM settings, and also tried "GPS Aids" from market that tries to get those Xtra datas, and while in stock roms the GPS icon flashes when doing this it does seems to not work here, the icon doesn't flash and it doesn't seems to get anything.

Also when outside even without AGPS it locks incredibly fast, just 5 to 10 seconds to get 8/8 out even more sometimes, so lovely.

Hey zborn,

my battery consumption looks almost just like yours - and I am also not really satisfied with it.

[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
They are currently upgrading the servers and doing some maintenance to enhance the build process, the majority of the stuff in the change log is upstream changes to the CM base which have no bearing on the SGS2 as it doesn't have the modes or hardware that these changes affect, so the rush to a new nightly is unnecessary, let them finish the changes. Nightlies don't have to be nightly if there are no changes worth building for a device.

They are kernel processes which used to have unique names, but Samsung helpfully renamed them kworker to make it harder for us to debug maybe?

I've just noticed something. I've traipsed back through a fair few pages, and can't find any other mentions of it. My phone never drops down to 3G when I'm not using my data connection, constantly connected as H. It goes to H+ when I'm using data, but then just sits at H. Settings->About Phone and Network Signal Info app both confirm this. I've tried LPQ,R, and S modems and all do the same. Could this be causing some battery drain? T-Mobile UK incidentally.

TESTBUILD

update-cm-9-20120419-CODEWORKX-galaxys2-signed.zip

Download: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?n55b4cc3m8cqomp

Changes:

switched mountpoints for sdcards to match cm standard:

/mnt/emmc = internal storage

/mnt/sdcard = external sdcard

eMMC is defined as embedded multimedia card which means an internal storage.

from an technical point samsung and lg are doing it wrong to name it sdcard. htc is doing it right since the beginning.

And because this is the CM standard, we'll simply follow it.

You can cry about this change, but it will not help you. This is how it will be in future.

We know you'll cry. ;-)

The menu item "install zip from internal sdcard" in recovery now points to the internal sdcard. It's not reversed anymore.

The storage menu at systemsettings -> storage -> storage configuration does exactly what it says now. It's not reversed anymore.

I wanted to do this change in cm7 a long time ago, but didn't want to hear all the terrible crying about it. Now it's time for it. ;-)

Edit: C'mon, stop crying. Goto systemsettings -> storage -> storage configuration and toggle it like you want it to be.
[Galaxy S II General] TheReverend210:
Never mind. After further research, it appears now T-Mobile and Orange have merged, they are doing work to their masts. I simply switched to another of the three Orange networks I had to choose from. Problem solved, it now drops to 3G.

[Galaxy S II General] DreadPirateDan:
I say woo hoo for the mount points changed :) it allways confused me a little (different to what I came from)
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
One weird thing with the change (that doesn't really matter, just noticed it) - is when you move an app to SD Card it shows up in USB Storage App area. I guess that's better than Google Maps showing as using 6MB Storage and 138MB on SD Card before. I've uninstalled it and installed again and now it shows only 11.27MB being used in App Storage and none elsewhere which is how it's should have.

Think i need a clean wipe to see how the storage area looks without after the change.
[Galaxy S II General] Spyr0s:
I can't see at all my internal storage in ES File Explorer and Quickoffice
[Galaxy S II General] marcosxd:
your internal storage now is: /mtn/emmc

your sd card: /sdcard/

this is the way it is supposed to be, it was backwards.
[Galaxy S II General] Spyr0s:
Yeah i know but know QuickOffice shows only sd card contents and ES Explorer needs to check "Up to root" option and then go to mnt/emmc. Previously QuickOffice had two options, Internal memory and SD card or something like it.

[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
I'm sure we gonna have some confusion going on with that Storage and Apps area now. Where it says "Move to SD" will actually move it to eMMC not the actual (now) SD Card. :D. Also when moved as i said it shows up under USB Storage App, prolly gonna need to rename that stuff :D

Okay, after this latest update I am getting an error whenever I try and take a picture it says "Your SD card is full" even though I have about 19GB left available. How do you fix this?
[Galaxy S II General] DreadPirateDan:
Hmmm.. so regarding the heap size, does that mean lowering your dpi in turn lowers the power needed to run the screen? I've never fully understood the motive behind lowering the dpi before but a light just turned on after reading that convo about gnex
[Galaxy S II General] fr3quency:
Thanks for the quick reply! ^_^ One more question if I may. What is 90userinit for inside the init.d folder?
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
Lowering the DPI displays more information on the screen at once and could therefore use more power since it has to refresh more information.

Lower DPI in the software sense uses more power. Higher DPI as in pixels uses more because there are more pixels to power.
[Galaxy S II General] DreadPirateDan:
And I'm back to having no idea about it again :p. Oh well I'm happy with CM9 stock settings so all good anyway :cool:

Thanks for the reply though.. I'm guessing it really just comes down to preference of appearance then.

[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
I believe it's due to the change in mount points of the external and internal mount points, unfortunately the build I'm running doesn't include this change so I can't really tell you how to fix it, Codeworkx post suggests there is a way to swap it in Settings->Storage->Storage configuration, but without flashing off some stuff I'm working on I can't flash Codeworkx build atm to look at it further.

Edit: Someone posted a camera apk in this thread somewhere that allowed you to change which storage you are using, the mod is also in review on the CM gerrit, if you dig around you'll probably find it.

I had the same issue as you here, but it happened for me on CM7. When I moved onto CM9 I did a factory reset (wipe data) on the phone and then I did not use any backup app such as Titantium Backup to restore the phone but instead reinstalled apps via the Play store (AppBrain is useful here).

That seemed to have resolved my random shutdowns. (I also experienced that ~20% battery drop too after the shutdown).

I suggest you try doing the same - doing a factory reset (wiping all data, as well as the battery stats etc to be on the safe side). Hope it's of help.
