I'm especially looking forward to this change:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/f200ea0d98df0d61b045d10156c94383aaed6fce

Seems like this caused a huge battery drain while WiFi was turned on.

However, I'm wondering why the change is listed at http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#galaxys2/cm9/next but not at http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=galaxys2.

Nevermind, we'll see if the battery life will improve after this change...
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Only affects you if you have previously connected to ad-hoc wireless networks, if you have not, it will make absolutely no difference to your battery life as it does nothing.
[Galaxy S II General] michael_ch:
Thanks, so I've been waiting for the wrong improvement... :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
Yeah. I think the second one.
[Galaxy S II General] msquared:
For the lockscreen bug try a fix permission from recovery..worked for me ;)
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
What's this?
[Galaxy S II General] tgl0be:
Hi,

With latest May nightlies, when I plug my phone to charge, it's becoming quite hot, and the battery level decreases instead of increasing.

I noticed that if I reboot then charging is working fine (and phone cools down).

I don't have this issue when charging with phone off.

I'm using default kernel, and also tried a full wipe, nothing changed.

Does anyone else have this issue?
[Galaxy S II General] chrismalla:
What it is? It's the changelog for nightlies. ;) There's many changes :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
I think he's asking about the specific change you chose.
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
Right. The second link.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
I think he was referring to the specific commit to dropbear that you linked, do you actually know what dropbear is? do you know what updating it will actually do? If not, how do you know that it looks good? by the sheer volume of stuff being added? what if it breaks something you use on a daily basis? are you sure it doesn't?

People get overly excited when the change log is long, not realizing that most of the changes will have no noticeable effect on how the ROM runs on a daily basis, in fact if I were to change the date on today's version and say that it included all the changes for the next nightly, I doubt anyone would notice, but I bet quite a few people would come here and say that it's "much" better.
[Galaxy S II General] jrsoft:
Anyway, the next nightly will make a big difference on a technical level, I hope you notice the battery performance :)
[Galaxy S II General] chrismalla:
Ahaa, well many changes within the change :D I don't really know what "upstream" means, this don't make me more clever;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upstream_(software_development)

At least I know we are getting closer to final release. :)
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
On a technical level?? Battery performance? Please tell us what you mean...
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
Technically speaking every update means we are getting closer to a final release.
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
I'm detecting sarcasm?
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
That's true, though Android is constantly evolving.
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
When we are really close to a final release, there are usually less changes though since there are lesser bugs to fix. :)
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
By the time we get to a release state on 4.0.4 for CM, our friends at Google will release 4.0.5 and it will begin again with all the upstream merges.
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
Well CM7 reached at least one stable release while it was the latest. Then 7.2 came which is still in RC. So we probably will see a stable CM9 in a few months. Then CM10 will come out. :D
[Galaxy S II General] jrsoft:
When changes are not visible to the user can only mean two things:

What is a bug fix

Used to optimize the system (and perhaps battery ...) :D

Each time the ROM has less glitches, so hopefully now touch the super-optimization :D
[Galaxy S II General] chrismalla:
hmm, the release of CM9 is when Jelly Bean is released, the stable release of CM9 is 1 year late :D And then we will begin working on CM10.

Google should employ the Cyanogenmod team and let them do the work, we would save 1 year on that! Continuing my dreams...

noise during music

whenever I'm playing music and the phone is locked, if i increase the volume it kind of has a crack like noise while that happens, does anyone else experience that? is there a fix for that? sorry if its been reported already
[Galaxy S II General] rm001:
The Apollo is not the default music player in update-cm-9-20120528-NIGHTLY-galaxys2-signed.zip?

When in RootExplorer or in another file manager I press on any wav or mp3 file, I receive something like "No application found for this type of file", and then the system gives me 3 long lists of application for opening, but no Apollo there.

If I install any other music player from Google Play, it works without problem.

How can I set Apollo as a default misic player?
[Galaxy S II General] Akiainavas:
It might be a little off-topic but to be honest i don't know what would they need to implement in Android 5.0 for our current phones like Galaxy S2 not to receive CM10. I mean come on... two cores clocked at 1,2Ghz, 4 core GPU, 1GB RAM ? I think that's more than enough for a software upgrade.
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
The Galaxy Nexus will definitely get it so I don't see any reason why the S2 wouldn't. Except of course because Samsung likes being mean to us.
[Galaxy S II General] Akiainavas:
Well, S2 is definitely not getting official 5.0 from Samsung. Still there's hope for at least Cyanogenmod :) And by at least i mean who cares about stock if there's CM

Network issues

Since the last few builds I get major connection problems to my mobile network. Bad reconnection, connection problems, weak signal. Full wipe doesn't fix it. Changing to a stock Rom solves the problem, but I love CM9. :)

Is there anything I could do? I'm on an Austrian service provider called "Bob" (A1 network).

Does anyone know if Last FM scrobbling work with Apollo music player ?
[Galaxy S II General] brittonberkan:
What network is displayed on your Lock screen? I always get "A1" although I'm in the bob network (apn and everything is correct). I know this is a special situation since bob is just a virtual network of A1, but stock roms managed to show the right network (bob). Can i fix that somehow?

However, my connection is fine otherwise, and I'm using the LPQ modem :-)
[Galaxy S II General] dandjo:

Where do I get LPQ Modem?
[Galaxy S II General] brittonberkan:
Alternative modems can be found on page 1 of this thread

LPQ is widely considered the best.

Here's how to get it in CM9:

Start "ROM manager". Go to "Download Rom", then scroll down and choose "codeworkx stuff for samsung phones. choose and download LPQ and install via CWM :)

Found a bug. How to reproduce;

1. Set a "direct call" widget in slide-unlock. And use slide unlock before pin

2. Lock phone, slide the slider to the direct call widget.

3. The call will begin without entering pin (Bug? Anyway not the main bug, continue...)

4. While in call, the screen flickers as hell (Bug, but not the main bug, continue...)

5. Cancel the call, the phone will instantly show you the pin to unlock. This is the main bug. You can press the power button several times, the slide does not show up. You have to enter the pin and then lock the phone and everything is OK.

I would post a logcat if I knew how to do this....
[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
Guys, I downloaded a few movies which were in .avi format, and and only one them is playing.... The rest open then close immediately without anything being played, and show just a black screen of the player for a second, and then close. I have tried mobo player and MX player, and both show the same behavior. All of the movies can be played on my PC..... Should I provide a logcat or is there some setting due to which I can't play them? I'm on stock kernel and everything....

Mm, is your music player working? Mine was working First, but after a reboot its not working anymore...
[Galaxy S II General] :
Perfect opportunity to get a log (via adb) to capture the FC as it happens. Someone should be able to diagnose the issue fairly quickly. Look at it as an opportunity to learn something about adb if you're not very familiar with it (I've been trying to learn more and more about it).

DL the Android SDK and latest Google drivers.

Thank you for the advice. But actually you know, I don't know get a log. sometimes it might seems to be joke for someones. but I'll try as you said.
[Galaxy S II General] TheIncredibleMachine:
Hi guys, I have an issue that I haven't seen any posts about, and can't find anything about it with google. Almost everytime I am on a call, at some stage during the call I hear a ticking noise coming out of the earpiece, my call gets dropped, I look at my phone and the proximity sensor is flashing red, then my phone reboots. I am running 0117 build with LP1 modem and KP8 kernel. This issue has been happening on all different builds with different modems though. The last time this happened to me, about 10 minutes ago, I had Catlog recording to text file on my SD card, but when I looked at the file, it seemed to only have a bunch of entries that lasted for 1 minute, where I had the recording running for around an hour. I've restarted the recording and will see what I get next time it happens.

Anyone else experiencing this or any ideas whats going on?

There are other good guides as well "ADB for dummies" among others.

[Galaxy S II General] CarlosGA:
Yes it is!

Go to the applications and clear the data of the music player and you media search.

Try backing up your card and doing that routine I did, go to CWM and mount the ext card, format it, and mount it again.

That wont mess around anything and maybe can replicate my good results!

Good luck!

Still getting no data connection :(

I tried different builds, with different modems and i still cant get 3G to work :(, currently i am on 01172012 build, kp9 kernel and LP1 modem.

I dont know, what else could be, making phone calls works, wifi works, sms works, 3G its my only problem, i dont know if someone have faced a similar problem?

My operator is Claro (Guatemala).

[Galaxy S II General] assid2:
I have been using 0118 (perhaps we should use YYYYMMDD for iso standard for intl users?), and since then the battery has been bonkers. I am literally charging twice a day with mostly standby. I think the release 0112 (not sure of date) was much better as far as battery was concerned.

As of connectivity, I never tried anything but lp1, and my connection seems quite smooth

Background : I came from the leaked version of lp2 to this, i wonder if that had any effect whatsoever ?

BTW: ANYONE have any updates on increasing battery life ? 10 hours with maybe 10 mins talktime with good network both wifi and cell is really bad!

---------- Post added at 10:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 AM ----------

Does your operator have a different APN for 3G [confirm said apn]? try enabling and disabling 2G only mode (restart after every time you change that)
[Galaxy S II General] wichon:
No luck :(, i tried setting to use 2G networks, restarted and nothing. I also tried the LP2 leak from samsung, and i got 3G working on that rom.

When i search for mobile networks, it says there was an error when searching for a network.

For what i know the operator use the same APN for 3G/2G , i use that APN config all the time, even with the official samsung releases.

Thx for your help :)
[Galaxy S II General] Net.silb:
Data has been known to be problematic in recent builds, try using 01062012 build with kp8 modem, that has been the best combination for me.

.

EDIT: this is just a guess, but maybe kp9 kernel broke your data
[Galaxy S II General] AIways:
i read on multiple ICS rom thread that KP9 and newer kernal mess up the mobile data connection. i'm pretty sure KP8 fixed the internet because i've been running ICS rom with that kernal all day without drop ever since.
[Galaxy S II General] rnksarda:
okk , i think there is a reason how the mobile data does not respond at times!

whenever i am at home using wifi or mobile data , connection seems to fine and it all works fine , when i am going out i.e when i am in continuous motion , the mobile data stops working properly and i have to reboot the device to make it work.

so i think the reason why mobile data doesnt work is because when we are in continuous motion , it just hangs or something and stops responding, wehn we restart the phone it works fine .

DEV'S please look into this . this might be the reason why mobile data has issues on 3g too .

i am no DEV ,just want to help :)
[Galaxy S II General] Net.silb:
I think you are correct.

This problem only exists in builds after the 01062012 build (not including).

This is why I am on 01062012 build, the only issue with it is not having normal access to SD card, if you read through the last 10 or so pages, you will find the different solutions for the SD problem.

Personally I am using 01062012 build with kp8 modem and I didn't try fixing the SD problem because I dont have any files I need stored in it.
[Galaxy S II General] twigster:
Just gave a thanks for this KP9 kernel attachment. Tried everything else already, including flashing the KP8 and 9 kernels from Chainfires thread, but still had data issues.

Decided to try again, complete wipe of device through recovery, flash CM9 1801 build, then your KM9 kernel attachment, then Gapps etc. So far, been running the rom for 11 hours and havent lost data, despite deep sleep and changing cell towers on my way to work.

I should probably also mention that I havent updated my radio to a CM9 radio again. left it on KI3. So far so good, calls coming through and sms working as well.

Will let people know if it reverts though.

[Galaxy S II General] brittonberkan:
Yes, and it will be fixed :)
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
The GT-I9100 doesn't contain a separate recovery partition, therefore the recovery is part of the kernel, using ROM Manager or any other method to flash a recovery is only temporary, when you reboot the system without changing the kernel you will end up with the recovery contained in the kernel, there is nothing wrong with it, you just can't have a recovery other than the one that ships with the kernel.

Oh I've no doubt :) Just wondering if I was alone and needed a wipe.

Turn off device, take out your sim card, put in a different one, turn on, enter pin, turn off, take out the different sim card and put yours back in.

[Galaxy S II General] irish-sid:
Ok.

Have you tried widget locker? you can make it look the exact same as the stock cm lock screen if you want, and the slide shows up before the pattern. You can access the notification bar too, before unlocking it, and for security you can't access any messages etc before doing your pattern, which means you can use the toggles, but if anyone got their hands on your phone they can't access anything.

For about a week now everytime i have wifi on i get huge battery drain and wakelocks. Have had it since the 17th build i thibk. Have tried different routers, completely re flashing, clearing data etc. Works fine when i go back to the 12th build. In betterbatterystats i get a wakelock called dhcp.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
DHCP means that your phone and router are negotiating an IP address, when you have that wake lock it's an issue with your router, generally with the DHCP lease time that is set, apparently setting it to unlimited causes issues with some routers where they spam out packets to do leasing and verification of IP addresses on the network. This may not be directly related to either your phone or router, it may be that another device on the network is causing it, but it's your network.
