AMEN. This makes me the most sad about CyanogenMod. So many users are quick to ***** about duplicate bug questions, but nobody seems to be updating the bug report page on a regular basis. (I was told it should only be updated by devs, otherwise I would put my own damn notes in there.)

:crying:

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate all the hard work that goes into CM, and I would **LOVE** to see a release that worked better (for my personal needs) than a hacked-up version of stock Samsung ICS. The show-stoppers for me have been the headphone volume bug and painfully slow auto-brightness updates.

**UPDATE / EDIT ** - Tested CM9.1 and the headphone volume bug seems to be fixed! +10 points for Gryffindor!! Auto-brightness still seems wonky, but I'll give it a try for a bit and see how it goes.

Is there any way to know the changelog for stable releases like 9.1 ??

I can only find changes for the nightlys...

[Ques] If I change the dpi to 213, will the dialer scale automatically?
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
Its a stable version not a nightly. What do you expect?

Don't think so because the phone.apk will FC but you can always try.

Upate to the stable release after a full wipe & see if the issue still persists.
[Galaxy S II General] sillypilot:
I tried 9.0 stable and found no matter how I set the cpu frequency, it reset to 1000mhz everytime after reboot, sometime the setting even just stay about 10min without reboot. I'm sure the valid cpu freq range is 200mhz ~ 1200mhz. I hope it is fixed in 9.1

Actually everything was smooth as butter even at 1000mhz, but I'm not very comfortable by this bug. and there's message told me that don't report any bug about the performance setting....
[Galaxy S II General] jcasares:
Tried 26th release and now 9.1 and still having the problem. While trying Apex Launcher, and not liking, I found that reloading Trebuchet seemed to fix it for a while. So no one saw this behavior or knows what could be causing it?
[Galaxy S II General] malhor:
Search in the thread. There are some settings provided that works wonder. IIRC the default settings are not optimized.

Use "autobrightness and lux" as keywords and you should find it(I would gladly provide a link but search is not that good in tapatalk)

[Galaxy S II General] panosfx:
I have a friend with gt-i9000 galaxy s and I with gt-i9100 galaxy s2.Yesterday both flashed latest cm9 stable for our devices.

His device when he has a missed call or text message lights up the led buttons to warn him.And he has an option for this at settings.My device didn't.

If I want this where can I find it?
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
CM9 doesn't support BLN for the S2 atleast because it's a battery hog. Use third party kernels for that but don't expect any support if you do.
[Galaxy S II General] Dannius:
Why not from those who developed the kernel if it is announced to work with CM9 ROM, as e.g. Siyah?

Getting ready to smash this f*ing phone!

The bastard's been shutting down randomly for the past weeks. It seems connected to when it gets a new radio tower or looses data-connection or something. It just plain shuts down without any warning. Sometimes it just locks/freezes completely. It takes about 7-8 restarts to get it working again (shuts down after boot) or if I connect to home wifi and/or charge it.

I've tried:

Different modems.

Changed ril with getRil app.

CM10 and CM9, always with a data reset and clearing cache.

Moved everything on the internal SD to a backup-folder (i.e. "wiping it" ).

I'm at my wits end here. It's been working wonderfully until some time around the release of CM10 Experimental from the 15th. After that it's just junk.

What else can I try?

How does out work with a stock ROM? Considered a hardware bug?

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9100 mit Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S II General] rage77:
Not tried with Stock ROM yet. Gone CM since I bought it a year ago.

Considered a hardware bug yes, just thought maybe I could try resetting/cleaning the internal memory or folders or something. Maybe something there has bugged out. I'm just not sure if flashing a stock rom will clean everything out completely, I don't know if there's something in some system-folder screwing things up and it just remains there through all the different roms. I don't know enough of what's in root to make an informed decision.

Or maybe I should just go stock and see, I don't know.

[Galaxy S II General] eradicator006:
Last night I upgraded to 9.1 from 9.0. Prior to installing 9.0 I did a full format of /system and /data and did NOT restore any backed up apps or data After I upgraded to 9.1 I immediately did a repair permissions.

Since upgrading to 9.1 I have 2 issues. 1. On play.google.com it tells me I have no devices. I have tried clearing data for GSF and play store and that didn't help. Removing and re-adding my google account info didn't help either. 2. Google maps shows that I am in some hotel in Las Vegas. I am no where near Las Vegas. I'm in Canada! This happens with wifi turned OFF.

I am not sure if either of these problems are because of cm 9.1 or if google is having some issues. Is anybody else experiencing any of this?

[Galaxy S II General] Farkonian:
Update - I spoke too soon about the headphone volume issue... it is better than it was a few months ago, but is still very goofy. Music doesn't stay completely muted after a notification anymore, but now appears to come back at approx. 50% volume, regardless of what the volume setting was before the notification arrived. If your volume was at 50% when you tested it, you would be fooled into thinking it was fixed (like I was)... but if your volume is at 75% you will very much notice that it doesn't come back at the right level after a notification.

I have read on multiple occasions about how these audio issues are the results of a closed-source HAL and the CM team is just doing their best to make good of a bad situation. I think I get that... but don't understand why these things don't get documented in the 'known issues' section?
[Galaxy S II General] androidkid311:

Where did my lockscreen go?

CM9.1.0 (stable) - Full wipe done before install, stock kernel. Lock screen no longer showing. Phone goes directly to unlocked state (homescreen) when I hit HOME or POWER button... slide to unlock just isn't there anymore. I verified that my lock settings had not changed, so rebooted... lock screen is back.... for now?

Just use the instructions in the OP & follow them to the letter. The one which says "If your coming form another ROM"
[Galaxy S II General] Dannius:
Flashing a Vodafone modem for my specific country increased performance and stability remarkably on my phone. Get the latest version for your country and try it. And install the appropriate RIL using the app getRIL from the Play Store (download the recommended one). Hope that helps.

I use it, without problems. If it is better for you might depend on whether you want to use the extra settings options (be careful with some,e.g. overclocking), or want to use dual boot. It appears a bit faster to me than CM stock, but I cannot really measure that.

[Galaxy S II General] eradicator006:
My device eventually showed up at play.google.com. The good part about that happening is that all of my old devices are now no longer listed. That was bugging me for a while.

Maps is still acting weird but it only shows the wrong location when I am at my house. I reported that incorrect location from the maps app on my phone. Hopefully that will get resolved.

So, all in all it was all one big coincidence and none of it was related to upgrading to 9.1.

anyone else with this problem?

Are you using Smart Stay app? You know the one which checks if you look at the phone?

If yes... That's your reason why there are lags in videos... Either turn off the app or add video player to exclusion list.

Two small issues I hope someone could enlighten me.

1) since last few builds (or after some app i've installed) my phone keeps going to vibrate. So after it's been unused for a while I check back and I see i've missed calls or what not because my phone was on vibrate..

2) I can't install big games because they all complain I have like 1gig of free space. So for some reason they don't see the "extended internal storage". I don't quite understand that anyways, why does the phone show two internal storages, other around 11gigs and the other just few gigs?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] Alex.Raz:
1. Using CM 9.1 and haven't experienced your issue so it might very well be an app problem or something dirty on your system..have already tried: rebooting, reflashing, clearing cache dalvik etc...?

2. That's because of the way Samsung made this phone the proper internal is 2 gigs than they added an additional 16 gigs internal SD, loosely speaking
[Galaxy S II General] KaptenSopprot:
