SMSC on stock sms app

I searched the thread and noticed that the smsc thing is still an issue with no real solution.

I'm not one for 3rd party apps (goSMS) to do that should be working in the stock apps.

Is this something Codeworkx could look at?, or is this just something I'm gonna have to live with (in which case i don't see myself using this rom much longer)

I get the same issue where the whole radio stack gets lost once I send an sms message, and returns when deleted. if I update my smsc number with *#*#4636#*#* it usually works until The next reboot

it is quite annoying
[Galaxy S II General] furyau:
With CM7, the battery performed better with WIFI set to always on.

Is this still the case with CM9?

Without any serious testing, it seems that on 3G battery drain is less than with WIFI??
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
Samsungs RIL implementation sucks like all they're doing.

We tried as good as possible to make it somehow working, but you might have noticed that for example SIM-TOOLKIT isn't available at all.

There's still stuff which isn't like it should be.

Get me FULL radio logs, which means from booting till after pin entry.

$ adb logcat -b radio

And not only one, 3 reboots -> 3 logs.
[Galaxy S II General] fstof:
Thanks,

I will see if I can get the logs this evening when I get home.

I haven't tried getting logs before, here's hoping for the best :)

EDIT:

Now that you mention it, I notice my one STA is not available (luckily I don't use it anymore :) )
[Galaxy S II General] boggsterman:
Hi, I'm also on Vodacom. This is a weird little bug because it seems most people don't experience it. So far it's only been us on Vodacom SA and the guys on T-Mo Austria that I've seen experiencing this issue. That's the only reason i haven't gone back to CM9 yet. I really miss CM9 because stock sucks balls for the most part, but i cannot live without being able to send sms. Yes, goSMS works (because you can enter the SMSC number into the app itself), but that also sucks.

@Codeworx, if it helps at all, it seems that the way samsung have overcome (or created depending on how you look at it) this little problem in the stock builds is by re-introducing a "Message Centre" number setting within the settings menu of the messaging app. There you can enter the SMSC as a plain readable number (i.e. +27829119 in the case of Vodacom SA). My guess is that since CM9 uses the AOSP messaging app, and this setting is not available there, when we go to send a message it looks for this number, and of course it is not there, which causes the RIL crash. I am also able to fix it temporarily by entering the SMSC with *#*#4636#*#* but as mentioned previously it only lasts until next reboot, at which point the whole thing starts again.

Anyway, you've probably figured all this out already but anyway, if it can be fixed somehow, someday, i would be most most happy and will return to CM9 in seconds. (Not to mention i will give a donation to CM9 team for your endless work fixing samsung's mess)
[Galaxy S II General] Tchiort:
You're right to say that we shouldn't say that a feature is not working because of our own experience, with our own device. Although, I am sorry but it won't make CM9 better if we say "GPS is perfect, stop complaining, here everything works perfectly" (you're doing the same thing you're complaining about by the way). Many of us have issues with GPS, the truth is that it is not working as well as it was with CM7 or stock GB. It it is working perfectly on your device (and location), well, good for you, you're lucky.

I'm not complaining, I'm trying to underline the fact that there are issues (that others have extensively detailed) and that shooting down every person pointing them out is not good.
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
If that's the case then we can simply add it to the extended device settings, where the hsdpa switch thingy already is and make it reapply at every boot.

Easiest solution and will not break non-samsung devices.

I'll have a look at it today.
[Galaxy S II General] gadibob:

is there a way to delete the file for the sound played when volume up is pressed? I cannot find it in media and it's annoying when I press it sometimes in a silent room. I know that mute is an option but it's easy for forget to turn the volume to mute. I have managed to delete the sounds for the camera but cannot find the one mentioned up. Thank you!

[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
Found the code which is setting the smsc number.

http://android.git.linaro.org/gitwe...=src/com/android/settings/RadioInfo.java#l997

Can you do a "adb logcat -b radio" and "adb logcat" while setting this number via the hidden menu? that would be helpfull.

[Galaxy S II General] PunkOz:
Hmmm.. I have a question.. I have looked at google and I couldn't find anything about this. I flashed CM9 on my phone and on my brother's phone and mine says "TELCEL GSM" and his phone says "TELCEL". Telcel is my carrier.. and well.. why is this happening? His Galaxy is new and mine is almost 1 year old .. I've flashed over what.. 80 ROMS? Maybe that's the problem? I checked the APN Settings and we have the same settings.
[Galaxy S II General] mekanoman:
Cannot upgrade

Hey Guys,

I have tried installing the latest roms. I am currently on 0318. Before installation I did a wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache and wipe data/factory reset. I did this a couple of times and the phone still freezes on the start up screen (samsung logo with exclamation mark). Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II General] hIdd3N-:
my guess is you have a different sim card, try swapping ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Ghashul:
That still doesn't explain why my data connection gets disconnected when using GPS on a nightly without the fix, and as soon as I install the fix, the problem is solved.
[Galaxy S II General] PunkOz:
And is there any difference between Telcel GSM and Telcel besides the name? Because if the GSM gives me lower signal or lower internet speed I can go to my carrier and ask for a new SIM but if the name is the only difference I'll keep this one lol.

Thanks for the fast reply! :)
[Galaxy S II General] hIdd3N-:
Only one way to find out :)
[Galaxy S II General] Souf0:
Then, there are no problem to reflash twice the same gps patch?

A lot of thanks

The automatic brightness feature is kind of crappy... isn't it?

The screen is always too dark for what i like.....

How many of you use auto-brightness?

Any recommendation on the subject?
[Galaxy S II General] 5aq1b:
i've found it quite useful under 2.3.4. Haven't been using ICS long enough to judge how it works. Installed it last night :)
[Galaxy S II General] 4qu4rius:
Brightness levels and thresholds are configurable, I beleive.
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
some little fixes and voltage control went into the new kernel since the "beta".
[Galaxy S II General] hIdd3N-:
you can alter settings, give it a try, raise brightness. stock settings are very battery conservative
[Galaxy S II General] giosoliman:
battery

i am having a strange problem with my phone. Im running cm nightly 0409 under baseband lp7. The phone whose battery was at 86 percent, suddenly shut down and had to power it again immediately. To my surprise, the battery percentage now shows 51 percent.. Now when i checked the phone from time to time, the batt percentage starts to increment by 1. 30 minutes has passed and the batt is now at 69 percent.. Anyone else having this issue?
[Galaxy S II General] PunkOz:

[Galaxy S II General] vastac13:
Yeah it'll be awesome if it did.. the phone's dac have some retarded noise especially when scrolling(um merlin is a bit sensitive) though it's not anymore annoying when music is played, the soundstage is cramped like in a 2x2x2 box and sound quality wise its not open on both ends of the spectrum.

There is a toggle can add to the quick buttons bar in the notification dropdown found in Settings > System > notification drawer > widget buttons.

It allows you together between different brightness settings from "dim" 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% including "auto"

Have a look, it may help you.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
Please.

Thr only thing that is stopping me from purchasing one is that no one confirmed yhe combination:

CM9 + E7
[Galaxy S II General] tsubus:
Question: I used to be able, when lowering the volume with the buttons on the side of the phone, to go from sound to vibrate to silent. Now, no idea why, I go directly from sound to silent. I've tried enabling vibration manually, but I can't seem to revert to the previous situation. Anyone knows where to look? In CM7 there was an option in the CM settings, can't seem to find it in CM9.

I really like the ICS keyboard, but I find it too small for the GSII screen... Does anyone know a way to make it bigger, without side-loading a new keyboard from the Store?

Many thanks

2 final questions important for me:

I am not a pro like you and most of the other guys here... is there a possibility to explain the changes? sometimes I don't understand for what it stands for... just in 1-2 sentences?

and the final and most important thing for me:

why is it not possible to clear the "favourite call contacts"? the page on the very right... it is noch possible to clear that on cm9.
[Galaxy S II General] buffon95:

Dialler cant be minimized while talk. when i try minimize it with central button it disconnect my companion in 1-2 sec.

also, can you enable rotate to portrait mode after user switch off auto-rotation, like in stock?

Spirit FM Radio & CM9

At the moment, Spirit FM Radio does not work with CM9, although you'll notice that a signal is registered and shown in the app.

I've contacted the developer of the Spirit FM app and asked him about his plans regarding CM9 for SGS II and FM radio, you can read his answer here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23897386&postcount=2697 (March, 22)

However, just as I was writing this answer, I stumbled upon some news at the end of the same thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24612539&postcount=2842

Although in the previous post he said that more or less his plate was full with other devices, he just released a new version of his app with an experimental audio mode for sgs2: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24624966&postcount=2849. So far it seems that it doesn't work with cm9, but hey, there's hope: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24666656&postcount=2853

connection to wifi EAP still sucks

it seems that the wpa_supplicant file need to be updated in order to be able to connect

any idea or solution?
[Galaxy S II General] Fustigador:
i have an fiio E7 but i barely use it, what i use, and the sound from our SGS2 is amazing (for those o say that sound on SGS2 sucks) .

So if u didnt buy E7 and u dont have good headphones ill vote for headphones first

heres the link (i have music series one)

http://www.alessandro-products.com/main.php?p=headphones
[Galaxy S II General] yellowjellow:
A few things worth mentioning:

- When you call someone and he ends the call before you do, the dialer closes and you end up in lockscreen instead of where you were before the call.

- Camera‛s focus feature (when pressing on the screen) is not working properly at all. In fact, it does the opposite of focusing.

- The photos you take come out really dark, as if there was very dimmed light in the room.

Other than that, I ****ing love this ROM ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Fustigador:
have u tried other dialer other than stock?

focus work for me but i use camerafx

and yes the samsung camera is better but the photos on CM9 with low light are not "really dark" just a bit darker :D
[Galaxy S II General] Osmosae:
Just after updating to the latest nightly, poweramp failed to open so i uninstalled it and decided to download again. Now it's telling me i have insufficient space to instal the app, which is definitely wrong. Is there a fix for this ?

I've tried restoring it from titanium backup also but still same message

I did a search on the thread but couldn't find any fixes only similar problems. I really like cm9 only switched recently, but no poweramp is a deal breaker for me :(
[Galaxy S II General] hIdd3N-:
you don't use the fiio as usb dac right? and sound from the sgs II is amazing... amazingly ****ty... seriously it's really bad. and yes i have very good headphones.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
So the E7 works flawlessly with the S2 via USB?

Great!

I'll buy the headphones (AKG k240 mk ii) and the FiiO E7 together.

Damn the sound quality is absurd really, why in the world samsung replace the wolfson. If its burr brown why not, but yamaha? Seriously downgrade lol.

To those who says S2 sounds great. Have a high sensitivity low impedance iem/ciem. The product of poor shielding of the dac's are the annoying noise while using the phone especially when scrolling and if you start playing music, its not that prominent but still there.

sio and v(r) - there's a possibility sio may have stability issues, I've received one report of this. It's off by default.

I've never had behavior like that - GPS never affects my data connection in any way.

Get a radio and main logcat, with timestamps, of the issue.

adb logcat -c

Reproduce the problem

adb logcat -v time -d > main_logcat.txt
adb logcat -v time -b radio -d > radio_logcat.txt

For those that may want to use other kernels and then come back to the stock kernel without flashing the entire rom, after flashing do a kernel dump using Hellcats tool (which was posted a few posts earlier) this would dump the zImage on the root of your sdcard, you can then try other kernels and use the same tool to flash the zImage and get the stock kernel back.
