Yeah it's fun reading the thread but...

I've been on xda for years and it looks like we've had alot of kids join the forums (or just illiterate adults)...

If you're having a problem with CM9, then take it off, install cm7. its stable, fast, and everything works. Theme it with a ICS style theme and pretend.

For those of you having issues with CM9...

WIPE data. Wipe cache partition, Wipe dalvik, FORMAT system ( under mounts & storage) ... install CM9, install gapps, then WIPE data, WIPE cache again just for the hell of it....

...Your video recording won't work. your battery life will suck, phone will get hot.. maybe will explode...hopefully in your pocket..

great, now the CyanogenMod team has left the thread and i can't ask any real questions...

I should have started a new thread, "Irrelevant dumb CM9 questions"... Ahh....

Good day to you guys!

Probably. Or just may be your battery stats. But yeah depends on the kernel i guess, it specifies how much milli amps to charge your phone with... I think its 700 and it goes lower as the battery reaches capacity...

Keep in mind i may be completely talking out of my ass or i may be 100% correct.

Anyone else having problem with flash on websites using the browser the flash content starts then freezes and the whole browser becomes unresponsive have to force close to use again tried reinstalling flash not luck, was working on codeworkx last one.
[Galaxy S II General] danielsf:
I know this is a stupid question, so I will say sorry in advanced :)

I was just thinking, would it be possible to implement a feature in the future into the device specific setting (when cm9 is about finished) that will turn the menu key into a multi tasking key, and say If you need a menu key in an app, you could just long press the menu key to bring up the menu. I don't know about you, but I love the new multi-tasking in ics :D
[Galaxy S II General] pewpewbangbang:
Are you talking about holding the home button and going into the multitasking view? cuz thats already possible
[Galaxy S II General] danielsf:
No, as in you tab the menu button like you would to bring up a menu, but instead the multi tasking windows comes up instead of the menu options, and to get menu options in apps that require a button, you just long press the menu button to bring up the menus.
[Galaxy S II General] vegaznc:
Really don't get you!

Multi tasking windows => long press home button

Menu => press menu button

Why do you want to change it?
[Galaxy S II General] NABNAP:
I think what he is saying is that since there is going to be a menu button in all apps for ICS we do not need a menu hardware button. So instead of the menu hardware button opening up the menu, will it be possible to configure it to do something else like open the multi tasking window.
[Galaxy S II General] danielsf:
Yeah, that's what I mean, thank you (sorry for not making much sense, it's very late where I am :D)
[Galaxy S II General] vegaznc:
Ok! I understand the meaning.

But, in case you're on your home screen and you want to change the wallpaper then you'll have to hold the menu button to get the menu... Sounds weird to me.

Edit : That's just an example, many apps still don't use ICS UI
[Galaxy S II General] danielsf:
True, but I guess people have different needs, like I am happy to long press the menu button to get to the menus if it means I can switch between apps much faster. :)
[Galaxy S II General] alexeiw123:
While Gnexus doesn't have hardware buttons, the on screen buttons are dynamic, so when an app still has a menu button feature, the Gnexus provides a menu on screen button.

If we removed the menu button option, we would have no fall back to access menu when its not on screen, and long pressing menu sounds tedious to me. We have hardware buttons, Lets use them as intended. Long press home for multitasking and everything is good.
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
If you're serious about getting this looked at, provide a logcat when this happens.

Can't do that yet. Hopefully there will be an option to toggle that once CM9 is finished. Most of it is still under heavy development. It will take some time for it to reach the maturity level of CM7.

:rolleyes:

Exactly why the devs won't concentrate their energies over here, and a few regulars will try to help out the noobs. This way the devs don't get irritated and the noobs get their help! Win win for everyone :)

That will probably not happen, but CM9 is still under heavy development, and not is not the right time to make such feature requests.
[Galaxy S II General] :
True. But he kinda brought it on by himself. Firstly by taking over THIS thread and second by going all gung ho on everyone just because they were asking questions no matter how irrelevant they were. So for him and the rest to come out with stuff like i am going to make the rom paid if you do not cut the crap and stuff like i am going to leave blah blah and not going to be back by cm9 is properly done that is kinda sounding a bit stupid. If you want to develop a rom do it and leave the discussion as it was before you took over the thread. Users helped out each other, no matter how stupid the questions were. People got on with it and that was it. He took over and as always must of have it done his way. Which he is entitled to but he just should of stuck by just the dev thread..

Kind looks he shot himself in the head with that one...But hey we are just normal users all noobs to him really:rolleyes:

If i was him. Close this thread down firstly. And second open a new discussion thread and use the OP as a template for the new thread and start fresh. Nightlies are being done now on a more regular basis and with that now being official a brand spanking new discussion thread i think is more appropriate than this one
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
Please close this thread..cm team have left. Noobs & ungrateful ones need to learn some manners inc. common sense!
[Galaxy S II General] pewpewbangbang:
Just gonna say March 5th nightly definitely isn't as good with battery as March 4th was....may flash back just to see if true
[Galaxy S II General] killall:
Yeh, so far I've thought the same :(
[Galaxy S II General] luke05dee:
ledgmwe

I would love an option like this! : D
[Galaxy S II General] danfalcas:
Awesome

I'm updating nightly by nightly and reporting all bugs that are in that version.

In the nightly from yesterday 03/05/2012 the GPS is having issues works but not so good. In normal use i got 9 hours and 30 minutes of battery life, not so bad but can be much better (i know you can). Video camera still missing. Aosp file manager is missing (could be good). Lockscreen sometimes crash (just have to lock unlock again. *#9900# does not work (how can I disable fast dormancy ? )

:):D it's excellent i'm using it daily that are bugs, but they don't mess with the greatness of the rom!

Hope you can build the stable CM9 soon, if i could help with something it would be awesome.
[Galaxy S II General] peachpuff:
What are you talking about, mine lasts twice as long with the latest nightly...
[Galaxy S II General] john_mts:
You gotta be kidding me..

Have you even checked the changes between those two nightlies? There are absolutely no changes which would even remotely affect battery life. They're basically identical!

This just proves people have no clue..
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
This is your first post on XDA? Son, I am impress! :o
[Galaxy S II General] vegaznc:
And this has been already explain so many time...

I don't like to think like that but, giving an answer is just a waste of time...

First post, new account... Doesn't look like a "real" noob!
[Galaxy S II General] shayne77:
Easy fix mate. You guys are so smart, why can't you grab that info from our phones automatically via "Bug Report" or similar?. If you can't get a "Bug Report", it doesn't exist remember. (Your words) I'm sure you could whip up an app quite quickly with your intelligence that us mere mortals do not have. (Apparently)

Then there would be no need for "forums" at all. (As it sounds like your trying to make us pay for your ROM soon anyways which will be done with an APP, ROM Manager or similar)

I'm still amused that you didn't want us "noobs" to post in the development section as "THAT IS FOR DEVS ONLY!" and so a "noob" created a separate thread for "USERS" to discuss their experiences which in turn meant that users were helping users. The DEVS didn't give a damn about the users as this ALPHA ROM doesn't exist or some bs. As soon as that happens, you come in here and not only take over the thread from mintvilla but complain about the content within the thread. Talk about have your cake and eat it too! If only the USERS could kick/ban you with your crap your feeding us just as you have been doing to us?

How about you keep developing what your developing without the USERS help. Ignore this thread as if it doesn't exist and then everyone's happy. You fail to get, you guys would be miles behind "schedule" without USERS having their input. (both GOOD and BAD input)

I'm thinking about going back to Sammy's TW because A) I'm sick of filtering out the good from the bad comments in this thread and B) The attitude of XPLOD and code just puts me off even following their development so why have it on my phone. But what do you care right? Your typical response will be (or one of true "believers" who you will need to pull out of your arse) "Don't talk about the devs that way! noob!... your just a noob! go on! reflash GB for all we care! don't you know this is free! for free! noob! god noob!" in others words, don't even bother replying... save your breath, I will do what I want to do without ANY influence by you or your "followers"...

/rant

now... where's that search feature again, I can't find it.... hrmmmm oh well, I'll just start a new thread asking which Sammy (*shudder*) ICS ROM is the best... I mean, after all, everyone else's opinion matters most doesn't it? I couldn't dare just download and try 'til I find one I'm happy with could I?
[Galaxy S II General] pewpewbangbang:
Yea, I thought the changes wouldn't affect battery but somethings definitely different.

I was able to get around 2 - 2 1/2 hours of display time by 50%........i can get about 1 - 1 1/2 display time by 50% max now. This is both with around 8 hours on battery already.

Just because the changes aren't related to battery, doesn't mean the build may possibly be different and affect battery differently.
[Galaxy S II General] twigster:
CM team, you scared the bejeezers out of me this morning!

Note to everyone else, check your automatically selected alarmtone before you set it to wake you at 5 in the morning.

I thought the day of judgement was upon me.
[Galaxy S II General] vegaznc:
It takes time, long time to see the real battery life after a flash. You want to see it for real? Stop flashing every day, keep your nightlies for a week and more and you'll see.

You just can't talk about it after one day or two.
[Galaxy S II General] pewpewbangbang:
I know and it honestly doesn't take that long. I've been flashing for years, I'm not an idiot nor incompetent, every ROM I've flashed it's pretty much possible to get a 95% view of what battery life is like after flashing, draining till dead, then running for a full days usage. Every day after that, battery life really stays the same from my experience or ballpark around it. For this latest nightly it's been two charge cycles for since I flashed it in the morning before use and now today's full use and it's actually doing worse than yesterday.

All I was saying is that I was able to reach my 50% checkpoint and have 2 1/2 hours of display time with the March 4th nightly and only 1- 1 1/2 hours for the latest one. While full depletion, I hit around 5-6 hours for the March 4th and a little over 3 hours for March 5th.
[Galaxy S II General] killall:
Absolute nonsense. It has nothing to do with the Rom settling, or any other bo***x, this a Rom, not a newly laid patio ffs.

I have been on CM9 since Codeworkx first build and have been more than happy with the battery life. Then I flash the latest build and the battery isn't as good - so by a process of elimination - the latest build isn't as good for battery life for me, and obviously at least one other poster.

I will go back to previous build and see what my battery life is like - if it is better, then by process of elimination, for me, the battery life is not good on the latest build.

I agreed with the original poster, because this is supposed to be a discussion thread and I wanted to let him know that he isn't the only one with unsatisfactory battery life.
[Galaxy S II General] pewpewbangbang:
Exactly......it's not like it isn't possible that a newer build doesn't have as good battery life as the older build even if there were no specific changes to battery only modifications. That's preposterous to think that way.

It's not like im unsatisfied, it still gets me through the day and CM9 is still amazing.....I was just saying what my experience was between the two nightlies.
[Galaxy S II General] typhex:

Hi,

i hope my question is not to noobish but still... :)

i installed CM9 on sunday and everything was working perfectly. Thumbs up to devs, they are working incredible job.

Yesterday i rebooted my phone and it didn't reboot, maybe reboot function not working properly, not an issue, i just pushed the on button and waited my phone to boot. It booted to my unlock screen (pattern), i saw my network operators name so i was "online". When i wanted to unlock my phone it just drew my pattern and nothing happened. i waited for half a minute and still nothing.

I restarted it with on/off button and again i came to the unlock screen and everything was the same as the first time.

Then i turned it off, pulled the battery out, waited for few seconds and turned my phone on again. still the same, unlock screen, but this time i also had wifi network. I waited again for few seconds and now my phone rebooted by itself.

When it booted again, still the same, now i decided to turned it off and check XDA for answers and i didn't find anything regarding my problem.

After 30+mins I turned it on again and now it started working, but my battery went from 35% to 13% :)

battery status:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=935374&stc=1&d=1331102077

does anybody have any idea what could be happening to my phone?

i'm afraid of restarting now, i don't know what will happen :)

thanks for your answers

i hope my problem wasn't solved in previous threads and that it isn't noobish enough :)

[Galaxy S II General] vegaznc:
No need for calibration on our GS2 battery.

Nothing change regarding battery between two nightlies but battery life change... Should be something magical then!

Many things could change battery usage in a day but anyway, just flash back previous build if you think it's the best for you!

What I've tried to explain is on every new build you've got some people saying that battery life was worst/better on the previous one and, when nothing change regarding battery, this is an absolute nonsense...

(I've said it's a waste of time and that exactly what happened...)
[Galaxy S II General] ny-hardcore:
Read first post in this thread.
[Galaxy S II General] Carwin:
@emekus

Battery drop when reboot is a known issue. It happens from time to time on most roms. I guess it's caused by wrong readings between battery/phone.

If the login trouble persist, I would try to wipe dalvik/cache and if that won't help, reflash rom, else I don't know.
[Galaxy S II General] emekus:
i read CM9 bugs and it said, that media scanner is eating a lot of CPU power, so i think this was the issue with the battery, but still i wanted to hear your appinions.

Rebooting concerns me the most, not that battery drain.

thanks

@codeworkx on twitter

help @xplodwild to make his life a little bit less painfull: pledgie(dot)com/campaigns/16867
[Galaxy S II General] KennyLegend:
Have to say I agree with both these posts. The devs attitudes suck big time. I remember Codeworkx telling people to toddle off over to the discussion thread where he wouldn't be reading and where nobody cared...yet he comes in here and moans about having to read hundreds of stupid posts...same goes for XplodWild.

Nobody asked u guys to get involved here...in fact u said u would never even read this thread. You'd probably do everyone a favour if u stayed over in the dev thread and kept your moaning to yourselves. If I was a mod I would slap infractions for the way u treat people in here.

Get a life !

Have a good day ;)
[Galaxy S II General] hIdd3N-:
And i agree with you. codeworkx is a giant d*** about how much of a genius he is and how much samsung/people/xda/google sucks. yet he posts every ten seconds on twitter/g+/xda and wants us to praise him all hail. (gimme 10k thx NAO!!1)

Don't get me wrong here. I'm happy there are developers that code stuff like cyanogenmod for free and that they spend their free time doing it.

yet i get the feeling he wants to moan and shout and whatever... i can remember him posting he will not release unstable versions until sammy gives source. yeah right... what do you expect if give unstable alpha/beta stuff to ppl that are ~16 yrs old and have no idea about kernels, modems, logcat and s***?!

if you want qualified bug reports do what a paid dev does. closed beta and nd agreement with all participants.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
Yes, they are a bit cocky, and have a patronizing tone, which is not justified. But if I read this thread, even I puke a little bit in my mouth from some people's stupidity and ignorance, so they probably have this feeling amplified. We gotta be honest, 70% of the 10000 posts is rubbish. And afterall, we wouldn't have a thread and a great ROM if they wouldn't spend hours fixing things for our phones, which they don't even use. It's true, they also get some donation money, and they probably like what they do, so let's not pity them too much. I'd say neither the users nor the devs could survive without one another, so a little bit of respect goes a long way. ;)

I normally ignore posts which are not about the actual rom, but this is getting a bit too much.

Guys, if you don't like the attitude of the devs, just ask for a refund and move on somewhere else where is less stressful for you.

[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
I couldn't give a ****. Yes CM is awesome. But let's not forget, its a just a ROM. There are tens if ROMs available. And more ate still to come. If people don't like the devs. They aren't forced to use it. What's more this forum IS NOT REAL LIFE, and is consisted of dorks (I'm sure we would admit that). What someone says on a forum, is nothing compared to someone actually shouting at you.(although bullying is a different matter)

People have the ability to ignore what they want, and reply to what they want no one forced anyone to read them. You can skim a page, realise its full of **** and hit the next page. If people are honest, they read the thread mostly nowadays for the general flaming and ignorance because its become a bit of a joke.

I ignore the bullsh*t, whether it comes from a dev or an 11 year old. Yes devs obviously enjoy what they do, but they don't have to share it at the end of the day.

Everyone should chill out, and realise

ITS JUST A ROM! Relax ya batties!

Can anyone explain what is the fuel_alerted kernel wakelock? I'm not interested in yanking out the battery to fix it, just curious about the cause.
[Galaxy S II General] espenfjo:
It is a bug in the kernel from samsung, where some values are compared.

If the value is below a threshold, start wakelocks.

If the value is above the threshold, stop wakelocks.

However, with the bug, the stopping of the wakelocks only happens if the value is exact the threshold, which it often is not.

Known bug, not fixed by samsung :(

[Galaxy S II General] marvi0:
This is getting out of hand, all those moaning about the attitude of the devs, are probably doing so using a phone that runs on the rom that's made so perfectly and smoothly, by the same dev you moaning about, unbelievable, gratitude, if you don't like the way the devs respond, just get rom use it and don't come here, imagine telling codeworks, not to come on this thread, imagine if he was to remove his rom, you would be the first to moan, because let's face it, once you use this ROM you can't possibly use any other, but I know codeworks is too smart, and he will never remove rom, just because of a phew morons anywhere thanks codeworks, donation for your excellent work due in tomorrow.
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
That's random. Just reboot, and pray it does not happen again :p
[Galaxy S II General] Hassi94:
While I see what people are saying, that this is a discussion thread and the developers said they wouldn't intervene - people still need to realise that the devs don't owe them anything. Either way it's basically gone back to normal (except devs are here even less) - so can we just get on with it. There's no use ranting on, we're extremely appreciative of the developers and hopefully we can just get over this argument; the devs can get back to developing (when they have time), samsung can hopefully release source kernels and we can get better at bug reporting!
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
Nothing in a software is random, trust me. Unless you have some radioactive particles in your phone.
[Galaxy S II General] Hassi94:
Well then noone knows why yet :p I'm pretty sure it's been reported quite often.
