[Galaxy S II General] :
I think it's ridiculous that people are selling devices and paying more money... Just to get an update slightly quicker. Will you really be happy? Maybe for a few months until the next phone comes out... But then surely you'll be in the same situation? Come on guys, the s2 was, and still is, an amazing piece of hardware.! I just think it's daft that people are panicking for no reason lol. Jb will be here soon enough :-)
[Galaxy S II General] sumeshd:
can someone with latest build+kp4 modem confirm if phone wakes up on new call or msg?
[Galaxy S II General] Razer(x):
Seems to be working, just called myself.
[Galaxy S II General] jankhner:
GPS is not working?

atleast gps status shows that phone cannot locate any satellites.
[Galaxy S II General] Razer(x):
I can't talk about latest release, but yesterday i used Maps (with hsdpa connections) and got a fix (5mt accuracy)
[Galaxy S II General] mintvilla:
doesn't need a whats working or not, that kind of thing belongs in the development section, this is just general discussion, On the first page of codeworkx thread is a list of known bugs, no point in copying and pasting that.
[Galaxy S II General] mintvilla:
i second that i called myself 3 times and it worked each time.
[Galaxy S II General] jhernand1102:
So I'm on the latest build and Market gives me an error when trying to buy any apps. Is anyone else having this problem? Other than that I've been running this for 3 days and it seems pretty good for an alpha release.
[Galaxy S II General] mintvilla:
mine still only says <3m pixels?
[Galaxy S II General] qsec:
I also confirms it is working now. I had big problems with this not waking up when called to. KP4 modem did not change that, but the latest bulild with KP4 kernel seemd to fix this issue, atleast for me.
[Galaxy S II General] mintvilla:
just for your knowledge, the modem wouldnt of fixed that, it would of been kernal related, luckily the KP4 haxxxed kernel has fixed that bug.
[Galaxy S II General] qsec:
Can't you press the little thing just to the right of 3MP to change resolution?

Try flashing the rom again
[Galaxy S II General] mintvilla:
no theres only the < to go vga, i'll try flashing rom again
[Galaxy S II General] idesire:
+1 This was my biggest problem with the previous builds. So far, I've called myself about 5 times, and it woke up every time. I'm gonna try again in a bit.

Haven't had any fc's since I flashed the update and modem.
[Galaxy S II General] Cloud2F:
when am i suppost to flash the XXKP4 Modem through cwm?

is there a way to get back to the old modem? what exactly does this change? never had to do with modem flashing :D
[Galaxy S II General] jankhner:
I had same kind of problem earlier. You can try to purchase your app from the web site, it worked for me. (https://market.android.com/)
[Galaxy S II General] :
GPS is working for me, only seeing 2 satellites however. Locking with 5m reported accuracy,

verified with hand held gps

.

On CM7 I typically see 10 satellites in the same location. I'm amazed with the XY accuracy using only 2 birds. Z is way off however, need more satellites.
[Galaxy S II General] sumeshd:
Hey razerx just 1 ques out of curiosity..

If kp1 ril files fixes nitz problem then y doesnt the ril files of latest kp4 do so??instead it should also provide data+ntwrk ri8??

Sorry bro if it sound noobish(i m not noob, i knw)

Oops..i think it ws noobish so he went offline..lol..nevermind..sry bro..:p
[Galaxy S II General] mintvilla:
reflashed the rom and still only 3mp

Am going to redownload the rom as as daft as it sounds, when i downloaded codeworkx latest rom, in the changelog he didnt mention anything about the camera, then about half n hour later after i flashed i noticed he added a few more things to changelog, so maybe he changed the build i duno lol, i'l give it ago and see.
[Galaxy S II General] Dorilife:
Jajaja yeah I know its not for everyone..anyways let's not talk about that here.

Yesterday 18:39 battery was 35%, unlocked only once to change settings, phone ON, the rest OFF...

Today alarm rang 6:00, battery 33%, cant beat this...

No forced reboots so far, fast and smooth, great job... :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] dissa:
Do you reach this result with setcpu? Or another program?

Thanks for your reply
[Galaxy S II General] melorib:
Nothing like that, only standard, I dont use those anyway, but on alpha ROM I will stick to standard, less chances to get errors... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] soulicro:
That's great that you go around boasting about your battery life here and in the dev thread, but people are specifically asking how you're getting that kind of battery life.

I personally was having battery problems until I installed "Rescan Media Root" from the market and disabled the Media Scanner, and installed the "BatteryCalibration" app and did what it said. I'm currently sitting on 42% battery life after 15h 37m, 1h 32m of screen-on time, Wi-Fi on the entire time, and GPS navigation for 22m. Included were a bunch of calls, and using Twitter/XDA/baconreader/Gmail/Reader/Facebook Messenger/G+.
[Galaxy S II General] melorib:
I have said it many times, no need for those things, all they do is use more battery and cause problems, just switch off what you are not using, wifi, data, BT, screen rotation, USB debugging, etc...
[Galaxy S II General] Crucio_:
Im the same as you bud, went to sleep last night for about 6hrs of sleep and lost 5% in that time.

people will notice higher drain if you leave mobile data/wifi on during downtime. I'd suggest either manually turning them off when you sleep or getting a program that turns them off when the screen is off.
[Galaxy S II General] soulicro:
Maybe. All I know is, my battery was draining like crazy before I applied those two simple changes. Now, I haven't turned off anything, and my battery is holding up like I described.

Actually, I haven't charged it since that post, and I'm now on 37% after 17 hours while fiddling with the phone a bit.
[Galaxy S II General] ant987:
Hey Guys! I tried the experimental CM9 and i noticed that the Browser experience in very bad!

I mean, the scrollingis good but the pinch to zoom is absolutely laggy!

I also tried Samsung Stock XXKP8 (which is Android 4.0.3) abd the pinch to zoom is supersmooth!

I hope that they'll improve CM9's browser!
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
From known issue list: "No HW codecs"

So it's known :)
[Galaxy S II General] idesire:
Everything will get tweaked in time, at the moment its about prioritizing and getting the main things working, also awaiting the kernel sources.
[Galaxy S II General] ante0:
Lovely rom, I use this as a daily rom now.

Haven't had any sudden reboots of fcs at all.
[Galaxy S II General] OriginsOfLewis:
I just flashed GApps and the fixer from the SGS thread and the sensor speed has dramatically increased, anyone else tried this?
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Read the Change log :p
[Galaxy S II General] OriginsOfLewis:
My bad, guess I haven't rotated my phone since then!
[Galaxy S II General] :
Don't think the talk should be about battery drain, but which modem do you use and what happens then.

For what i've noticed so far:

If i use the kp4 modem then wifi turns off as i setted in settings that in deep sleep it should be turned off, but the real effect is that one of the wifi items/ril related is constantly making a wakelock and so you don't get into deep sleep at all (and wifi has a hard time turning on again, mostly manually turning off and on to get it working again), then you stay running at 200mhz and this way for sure a battery is empty faster.

When using the kp8 modem the settings of when wifi should be auto/stay turned off when entering deep sleep mode, the S2 enters deep sleep but it refuses to turn wifi to off.

Guess we all need to wait for a new modem for that or of course the Kernel Sources, cause in both cases wifi seems to have a problem to or auto turn itself off via settings or a ril item seems to do a lot of wakelocks.

But what i tried with the several releases and modems available is that i seem to constantly end up to the same conclusion as described above.

Think that the xxkp4 haxxed kernel edition was the best for my battery and how long as it took from full to empty with the wifi settings to "turn off in deep sleep(more data usage)"

Note to readers, how fast it drains doesn't matter to me atm, it's an alpha rom, but it would be interesting to see if other can find a pattern like this.

But am gonna monitor this a bit more and take some screens of what happens with kp4 and kp8 monitor to see the difference.

I updated to the latest build, all seems good. No unexpected issues to moan about, no data dropouts (yet).

New build has an updated trebuchet launcher with some extra options and transitions.

That's about all I've noticed.

[Galaxy S II General] Okur90:
Do Samsung usually release kernel sources before or after a stable ROM update/release? Is there any chance of an early leak? Can't wait for the stable ROM! :D
[Galaxy S II General] kibaa12:
any one happen to know if there has been a I9100T modem leaked for ICS? wouldnt mind testing out the newer modems all the standard I9100 modems create havoc on my reception so im still running the old I9100TDUKF4 modem
[Galaxy S II General] eseregin:
It was explained good, in 2 words - all has to release sources of kernel because GPL license when PUBLISH binaries. So still it is all Beta versions, think we will not have sources until OFFICIAL release by Samsung new firmware. Samy not kinda company who is willing to support CM team... Even Sony much more friendly

I have 12 months left on my contract. I sell my S2 for what £250 if im lucky, pay £30 on top for the Nexus.

12 Months time i get to upgrade again.

Win/Win
[Galaxy S II General] :
No, nexus is better than the S II. Hardware, isn't, but the software makes it better. Btw, my screen is fked, one part is darker than the other, and also have one dead pixel.

Maybe, but this is more important: Camera fix!! :laugh:

This fixes the camera regression that 18206 caused for Exynos devices.
[Galaxy S II General] np231:
lets hope that the devs feel the same way.. the only thing S2 has going for it.. is the CM user install base..
[Galaxy S II General] :
I realise technology moves on and improves... That's natural in today's mad world... But surely this phone is still in the top 4 of the best phones you can buy today? And now it has come down in price, there will be more users than ever. I love my s2 :) yes, I will be upgrading in 8 months...and yes, I am commenting from a users perspective rather than a developer's, but I still think people are over reacting. Cheers guys, no offence to anyone, I just wanted to air my opinion :) peace.
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
Its a great bit of hardware, and still fast enough, simplys suffers from #blamesamsung.

CM9 is fantastic, been running it for a long time, huge props to the devs, but there are still bugs that they almost can't fix due to the amount of binary junk.

EDIT: I looked at telephonytests, it looks like its what it sounds like, part of the test suit, have a look here, unless I am being stupid, this wont fix anything user facing.
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
Nope. 56 and 66 map to the same dimming value.

There are more gaps in the upper ranges, but at the lower levels, the gaps are pretty far apart.

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr.../blob/ics/drivers/video/samsung/ld9040.c#L309

As I said a few pages back - it is possible to add more brightness bins, but every effort to do so that I have seen in the past has thrown off the color balance of those bins.

That's freaking ancient from back when CM was doing an initramfs repack due to lack of kernel source.

Yup. While I won't be ditching my I777 or Note for a Galaxy Nexus - almost surely my next device will be a Nexus.

Yup. Galaxy Nexus has slightly slower hardware than I9100/I777 - but when you add Jellybean to the mix, GNex will blow away I9100/I777.

I9100/I777 may never see fully functional JB due to the audio HAL incompatibilities. While backwards-compatibility wrappers have been written and used on other devices, in addition to being "ICS blobs", our audio HAL consists of "mangled ICS blobs" - the mangling has caused serious issues with compat wrappers in the past. For example, trying to use Gingerbread audio HAL with ICS didn't work.

Personally, unless there's a major shift in attitude from Samsung soon, the N7000 is going to be my last non-Nexus Samsung device. It may also be my last non-Nexus device in general, but I'm less sure of that. I'm sick of bugs going unfixed for months, even ones that destroy devices. I'm sick of them claiming they're fixing a bug that causes permanent device damage, and then taking a previously unaffected device and endangering it with the bug. Their only advantage has been unlocked bootloaders and AMOLED, and the Verizon Galaxy S3 shows that advantage is also going away. I'll miss AMOLED, but it's not worth the frustration.
[Galaxy S II General] twigster:
Hit the nail on the head. If developers had access to all the proprietary source code for the sgs2, this comparison to the nexus would be a joke for the sgs2 community rather than a serious discussion point.

As an avid android fan that loves the development, the nexus brand is the only thing that makes sense for the future, even if the hardware is not top of the range.
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
I have had my mother gnexus in one hand, and my phone in the other, pre JB, the sgs2 was faster, every time, now the gnexus rolls over it, makes me real sad (I keep saying this, damn I must be bitter)

The SGS2 was my first android device, first samsung device, and a huge upgrade from the BB9300 I got for some reason and at first I was in love with how fast everything was, how much better web browsing and everything was over the BB.

The I grew to hate touchwizz, then I saw how long it took for the phone to get ICS, and its still not had a stock 4.0.4 release.

Then I realise, it may never get a JB build from samsung, and if it gets CM10, it will have meant that a lot of hours were wasted hacking around needless crap.

First and last non nexus device (I keep saying this as well, damn, I am really really bitter).

I am saddened, if not surprised to hear about the blob issue with JB, bah!
[Galaxy S II General] :
The Galaxy S will have a better JB than the Galaxy S II. They already got almost everything to work. It's the time, the S is older than the S II, so it's more mature. Is the S the Windows XP, and the S II the Windows 7? Maybe... Samsung has some great piece of hardware, they could do users a favor and let the software be Google's job.

Question to Entropy, since we were talking about video performance sometime ago... The Nexus with CM9/JB can run 1080p videos better than the S II?

Ontopic... no Superuser updated? Is there any problem with the 3.1.3/binary 3.1.1? Saw a SU change out there so I had to ask this.
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
Also the Galaxy S being so close hardware wise to the Nexus S cannot hurt
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
Because of the significant similarities between the Nexus S and Galaxy S series, the GS series have always been ahead of other devices in terms of AOSP bringups.

SII family devices, on the other hand, have no Nexus brother. It's interesting - once codeworkx decided to play with an I9100G, it wound up catching up to the I9100 extremely quickly - due to it having similar architecture to the Galaxy Nexus. Same reason Tab 2 bringups were insanely fast. All because these devices used the same OMAP4 CPU as the GNex. Similarly, the Kindle Fire will get a solid JB bringup long before this device because it shares an OMAP4 with the Galaxy Nexus.

Myself, I won't be going for a GNex unless it gets price-dropped again to $300 or below. If I'm stuck on CM9 with my devices, I'll be happy until the next product cycle start. However, I will seriously be considering the next Nexus phone, whoever it comes from.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Brazil, Galaxy Nexus [Here it's called Galaxy X, legal causes], it costs R$1.700. USA, let's say... $300. Now, $1 = R$2. How much would a Nexus cost for me on USA? R$600... So I think you can't complain about the price out there, eheheh.

Could you explain what the SoundRecorder.apk does? Think it's the Sound Recorder, but there's no way to launch it.

edit: better finish with the OT, that's the last one from me ;)

[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
Like ive said previously. Here in the UK, you can get a Nexus for around £250. Can possibly sell the S2 for £200-250. So for the sake of 20-30 pound more, i could have a nexus.
