I know this is not on topic or anything but has anyone else noticed in the ROM Manager program the icon for " flash alternate recovery" is the Egyptian symbol for the Eye of RA? Yet everything else has normal type icons?
[Galaxy S II General] ikanikolai:
Nope. 89db and sometimes 95db all the time.
[Galaxy S II General] TheReverend210:
I think that stems from the fact a couple of years ago, amon-ra recovery was most popular.

[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
Yes it's possible. You need to extract the .png images files from /system/framework/framework-res.apk

The names start with ic_lock*

Then either learn how to modify .apk files to change the icons or use a launcher that lets you change icons.

Has anyone noticed that if you take a photo in portrait mode, it is oriented in the gallery correctly, however if you share the photo with messaging it gets inserted rotated 90°?

I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if the same behaviour is seen on galaxy nexus.

To get rid of encryption I need to factory reset my phone. Problem is I have lots of photos and videos on it. After march 5th the sync seems to be broken. Photo Sync is on, but I don't have any photos after March 5th in my Google+ Automatic Uploads Folder.... How can I fix this?? Can I delete settings for Gallery app?

Picasa/Photo storage is 54% used so it's not full.

[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
Just noticed that the search bar at the top now says "Google" in it. Using 5/08 and 4/29 Gapps. I've done clean wipes and all before and it's never said it. Did an upgrade just now and now it's there. Not a biggie, just a change i noticed.

Also with the removal of the forced build id thing - it now says:

cm_galaxys2-userdebug 4.0.4 IMM76I

eng.jenkins.20120408 231358 test-keys

Guess that's being worked on :D

Oh and could we also remove the RAM and CPU info from there?

ARM v7 Processor doesn't say much and I'm sure we can figure out what CPU the phone has ;)

Memory also is another one - That's now shown in "Apps" area (do the math :D) so no need for it to be there again. Making it look "cleaner" again is the goal right? :p

Can someone tell me what are the recent changelogs? I din update it for like 2 weeks now. And now when I go to the changelog site it keeps telling me that some Yahoo API is down..
[Galaxy S II General] sociojeje:
I'm pretty sure this is not cm9 specific. I've encountered this issue with other roms. Once the battery shows fully charged then i plug off, the battery level suddenly goes down to late 90s not 100%. It seems that even if it shows 100% phone is still charging. I just want to report this since it is not a big deal at all.

cm9 download site down?

So the changelog site's yahoo api has been super buggy for two weeks but the download site was fine and still showed the newest nightly. now that ones down too. I'm not trying to hassle the developers but was wondering if anyone knew what was up? It seems to be any cyanogenmod download site regardless of which device...
[Galaxy S II General] gaz617:
Yeah, not cm9 specific. It's called trickle charge, some phones (iphones in particular) do not allow the battery to charge 100% on charger as it takes a time for the rest of the charge to 'trickle' through, at least this is my understanding of the matter with knowledge cribbed from different xda threads.

Halp...meh... I see... wakelocks... everywhere...

Since a few builds my battery is draining at huge speed, after a few hours it's down to 40%. Galaxy is almost always hot.

No mods installed, relying on CM9 only !

I have tried to remove the battery and it kinda helped. Android OS was using 70% of the battery before, now it's only 60ish :).

BetterBatteryStats included (thanks to the guy who advised me to install this a few pages earlier, the log is scary) and screenshots. What should I do ? I need your help !
[Galaxy S II General] NFSNOS:
After installing CM9 mobile network seems not to be available....

I changed SIM-card from different operators but it's the same.

What do i do?

imei: original

serial number:unknown (not sure if it okey or not)

everything worked after update from 2.3.5 to 4.0.3

any suggestion? :(

My camera force closes using the latest nigthly (08/05) .. wiped cache and dalvik ..

edit: wiped camera data and it's working again ...
[Galaxy S II General] elektroinside:
It's not the trickle charge. You have to reset you fuel-gauge chip (a feature of Siyah Kernel via ExTweaks - don't know if it's working) or completely discharge (phone shuts down because of this) / recharge the battery without interruption and wipe the battery stats from CWM recovery - tested, worked here. This happens because the battery is reporting incorrectly or because the battery stats are wrong. You can also test if your battery is reporting correctly if you shutdown/power-up your phone when your battery is less than 40% charged. If your battery has less then 20% of juice after the power-up, you need a full discharge/recharge and a battery stats wipe.

EDIT: you can help your phone avoiding such issues if you disconnect your charger (or USB cable) if you need to restart/shutdown your phone, and reconnect it after CM9 fully loaded.
[Galaxy S II General] eseregin:
Good idea IMHO as well

Try modem version newer than XXLPR - LPS or LP9 even - the newest one

Most power took Pone was searching for Network - seems you live in place with rather bad reception or really need to change modem if not.

WiFi wake up Very often as well - try to Off synchronisation in Accounts.
[Galaxy S II General] Cristiano Matos:
Just need a reboot and everything should work properly.

When you install a CM9 from scratch, sometimes data doesn't work in first boot.

Kinda normal...
[Galaxy S II General] eseregin:
Dont need to do it...

Every time SGS2 rich 100% power - battery stats reset automatically
[Galaxy S II General] NaLogo:
I'm encountering some crazy slowdowns with the 06.05. build.

The system just randomly locks up and a few seconds later, everything is basically in "slow motion"; forcing me to reset the phone.

CM9 + Stock kernel...I didn't even install any apps in order to figure out if it's system or app related. It obviously isn't app related.
[Galaxy S II General] elektroinside:
True, but as a fail-safe method, after the full discharge/recharge a battery stats wipe is recommended...
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
Wiping battery stats does NOTHING. Since you wont believe me however maybe you'll believe a Google Engineer:

https://plus.google.com/u/0/1050519...dVxPT#105051985738280261832/posts/FV3LVtdVxPT

Also you can't control that sorta stuff with this phone. There is no "Resetting" the chip. Maybe other phones it might help how you charge it but for the SGS2, it's a matter of the design of the hardware. This is why sometimes you'll see your percentage going UP rather than down after you get off the charger because the phone will automatically try to match what it gets from the sensor.

FYI - It's read only, you can't edit what's being given from the battery sensor.

The phone will always behave based on what info it gets from the sensor so if it says it's at 1% when it's really 10% then the phone will eventually shut off. The sensor however will also pay attention to that and set itself accordingly.
[Galaxy S II General] Suho:
Okay, thanks guys. I downloaded LPS from the first thread and flashed it, I'll see if it makes any difference ! (couldn't find LP9 radio easily enough ;p)

Wifi Running (): 1 h 3 m 16 s (3796 s) Ratio: 99.9%

Bluetooth On (): 1 h 3 m 14 s (3794 s) Ratio: 99.8%

Screen On (): 7 m 11 s (431 s) Ratio: 11.4%

Good Signal (): 23 s (23 s) Ratio: 0.6%

wifi on isn't something to worry about, as it doesn't take much battery power to maintain the connection. for over 40mins the phone is awake. it could be the phone is looking for signal (apparently you're in a location with almost no mobile network; but you have wifi), and the app seeking for mobile network is trying hard to locate a signal and stop the device from powering down to deep sleep.

something else is keeping your device awake, and i suspect facebook is a likely culprit. check if facebook sync too frequently.

Why shouldn't i believe you? I never said i didn't. Actually, thanks for the info, good to know battery stats wiping is useless on SGS2. As i mentioned in my previous post, i don't know if Siyah's method of resetting the fuel-gauge chip is working or not, i haven't even tried it, i wrote that "as a maybe useful" info. What really worked for me is the full discharge/recharge. I combined this with the battery stats wipe. I didn't knew at that time if the wipe will help or not, but this is what i did to fix my issue.
[Galaxy S II General] dchn2:
bluetooth is on as well. will battery last longer if it's off?
[Galaxy S II General] anagrams:
Hi,

I've seen some people mentionned this before, but I didn't see any answer.

Couple days ago, I charged the phone with USB on my computer.

When I unplugged the phone, the icon stayed as charging. Rebooting the phone didn't change it.

That day, the phone heated a lot, and discharged fast.

At night, I charge the phone with the plug. Next morning, it was still the charging icon. After rebooting, it was back to the normal battery icon, but changed without pluging the phone to the charging one.

Now most of the time, it's the charging icon that shows up.

I didn't notice any heat after the first one, and the battery seems to discharge normally (about 40% in the evening).
[Galaxy S II General] Suho:
Bluetooth is on but not used actually, I could turn it off just to see (but it has been on for a few months and wasn't an issue before). I'll try tomorrow if battery isn't better with the radio upgrade.
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
It's actually useless on ANY Android device as it doesn't correlate to battery life at all. It's only data stored for "Display" on or "Android OS" time - it's just for display purposes.

Li-ON and Li-Pol batteries also don't like to be deep discharged and they also wont "reset" based on such practices. The sensors in the phones/batteries are not able to be calibrated so no point in wasting time. ;)

Turning off the phone will make it last longer too. Obviously anything you turn off will make the battery "last longer" as a result. :D

Flickering screen

I've noticed my screen flickering in three pixel thick horizontal lines on white backgrounds, like in browser and the contact editor/viewer, it's not super noticeable, but I've no idea if it's the rom or the phone having a problem.

[Galaxy S II General] brenopapito:

Umm i think it's time to get your eyes checked buddy :p

Not currently being worked on but then again I think that would waste tons of battery. I get notifications from SMS and other things constantly so the phone would be dead in 4hrs since the screen would never sleep.

That's a feature called BLN (Backlight Notification) that is supported by some custom kernels like Siyah Kernel for example (it's not supported in the stock CM9 kernel). After installing one you can set it with BLN control from Play Store (or use ExTweaks if you're using Siyah kernel).

[Galaxy S II General] confusedmuse:
Reseting the fuel-gauge chip is something different then wiping the battery stats.

When you reset the chip, the gauge shows immediately another value and then it goes slowly to the assumed "real" value. (e.g. from 50% to 12% and then slowly to 37%)

I have a confused gauge sometimes and this helps then.

Gamma & GPU Performance

I tried cm9 for the first time and was quite impressed with the look and feel.

I think I will wait until Supercurio releases "DisplayExpert" for ICS as the bootloader in my phone detects the wrong SAMOLED hardware revision (colors and contrast look very bad). Only GB only app Voodoo Screen Tuning R&D fixes it at the moment.

Also GPU performance seemed a bit slower for both 2d emulators (poor refresh rates) and 3d games (lower fps).

Juice Defender

I've read lots of scathing reports of how Juice Defender causes worse battery performance than not having it, but after having it installed for two days, I'm getting drastically more battery life than before.

Now - I'm not interested in an argument as to whether it's good or bad. What I am interested in is whether it's possible to work out why *my* particular setup is better with it, and use that info to help tweak the ROM/apps/whatever.

Is there anything more useful than a couple of days BetterBatteryStats dumps from runs with JuiceDefender and without it? Has anyone else had similar results and got to the bottom of it?
