[Galaxy S II General] dchn2:
i have to remind myself this lesson i learnt a long time ago: there is no bad question, there is only bad answer. i wish folks on this forum can embrace search engine and search function a bit more, but i know that's wishful thinking. there are those who are sceptical of answers they found from search engine. my wife is one such person.

on the light sensor, i miss the function where the top of notification bar can be used to toggle the brightness of screen. if that's implemented, i can live without te auto-brightness. btw, for those who've used it, is Lux auto brightness a viable alternative to the stock cm9 function?
[Galaxy S II General] TheIntersect:
Protip: don't flash nightlies when you're tired and half asleep.

Just flashed CM7 over CM9!

Oh well, fresh start it is..
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Lux works better than the current CM auto brightness imo, however you have to remember that in its current state the light sensor only reports 0, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, and possibly 1 other step i forgot, so that's all Lux has to work with as well therefore it's not going to be a ton better.

---------- Post added at 07:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 PM ----------

You could set yourself up a build computer and revert the change that fixed the compass and broke the light sensor again. Builds just fine on a virtualbox implementation within windows if you don't have a spare box to run linux on.
[Galaxy S II General] juz4:
I found Lux auto brightness to work quite well. Battery drains a bit faster which I would guess is because it sets the brightness a bit higher than it really needs to be.
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
I have put this option in your rom for you, when you weren't looking:) . Look under System > Status Bar > Brightness Control. (Must turn off auto brightness first).
[Galaxy S II General] Deeco7:
Something strange is happening ...

I'm losing 3% every minute.

From fully charged to 40% in an hour.
[Galaxy S II General] dchn2:
thanks for the info, but i'm afraid it's as broken as the auto brightness. if it works, that's a different story.

what we have right now is a switch between dimmest and brightest. there's nothing in between.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
You have over 80% screen on time, why does this shock you? The screen is big and if you have brightness up at all it burns the battery quick.
[Galaxy S II General] fr3quency:
Guys, should I install the latest nightly or codeworkx's "snapshot" thingie? :)
[Galaxy S II General] cyberon:
Latest CM9 nightly. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Deeco7:
lol? My brightness is -67 Lux, battery drained to 50 less than an hour of NON usage and your telling me why I surprised?.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
-67 lux would be less than completely dark, so I don't see that as being possible. No matter how dim the screen is it still has to draw and redraw the pixels, this requires CPU and GPU time to do, turning the screen brightness down will help only a little. How can you say that it's NON usage? the screen was on the whole time, the screen is the #1 battery drainer on this device, it's what happens when you put a large SUPERAMOLED screen on a phone like this, it destroys the battery, that's life, if you want better battery life don't leave the screen on.
[Galaxy S II General] Phistachio:
LOL!

That's why I only visit the CM Nightlies page :p
[Galaxy S II General] Deeco7:
What are you on? Just because it says screen on was 80% doesn't necessarily mean I've been using the device. The phone did not go to Deep Sleep and Don't patronize me!
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
The device can't go to deep sleep while the screen is on, seriously?

Lets start from the beginning:

In your screenshot your phone was on for 1h 42min 41 sec

During that time the phone was awake for 1h 29min 41 sec

During that time the screen was on (ie lit up) for 1h 28min 40s

So, the phone was in deep sleep for 13mins

The phone was only awake for 1 min a 1 sec while the phone screen wasn't on. That's not bad and corresponds roughly to the time it would take to go into suspend once the phone screen shuts off.

I'm genuinely trying to help you here, but if you want to take it as me patronizing you, fine.
[Galaxy S II General] alc027:
It is a nightly. The latest is a random CM7 nightly release.
[Galaxy S II General] dchn2:
From the screen shots you provided, it does seem the screen is the source of the battery drain.

I used to have a crazy application for playing music that would keep the screen on all the time for no apparent reason. Once I switched to a different player the drain was not observed again.

Relax, my friend. We offer our opinions based on the information we received.
[Galaxy S II General] alexeiw123:
Please see attached screen shots;

Image taken in portrait as seen in gallery;

Same image attached to a message;

Any way to stop the image from being rotated 90°?
[Galaxy S II General] bb42001:
It hasn't rotated, the messaging app is assuming the image was taken in landscape mode. I just tested mine and it does the same thing, it doesn't seem to understand the screen rotation and assumes image was taken in landscape. However if you hit view, it views correctly, so it is just the preview the image app spits out.
[Galaxy S II General] alexeiw123:
I see what you mean, 'view' shows it correctly, but once you press send, that no longer happens. Hitting the image on a sent message (or received) no longer shows correct orientation.

Send the MMS to yourself to check.

I have two cm9 sgsii, and have sent MMS between then to check
[Galaxy S II General] Juzman:
That is strange. I'm only losing 10% every 4 hours.

Sent from my Galaxy S2 using Cyanogenmod 9
[Galaxy S II General] bb42001:
I see, just sent the message, and once sent the image stays in the landscape orientation. However i just tried it with other images in my gallery, and it doesn't happen, only with the two images i just took does it happen. interesting.....

EDIT: ok just had more of a look, it does it for any portrait images, however doesn't do it for portrait screenshots or images downloaded from other sources.
[Galaxy S II General] rhai:
it works for me. currently on the latest build.
[Galaxy S II General] stryker.jp:
anyone encounter issues like date/time getting stuck?:confused::(
[Galaxy S II General] alexeiw123:
Wow, that's strange, must be something to do with how our camera is identifying the orientation in the photos.

I wonder if this is a known issue to the devs
[Galaxy S II General] bb42001:
If it is, i doubt it would be very high up there list of things to fix.
[Galaxy S II General] alexeiw123:
Yeah me too.

Wonder if stock GN has the same behaviour
[Galaxy S II General] MistahBungle:
I'm sure there are probably other phones (I don't know as I don't own other phones), but no, there are no other SGS2 roms/kernels which support it. Just doesn't work on SGS2.

Looks like we got our answer ;-) And frankly, I don't blame them. While it would be nice to have, it is definitely not a necessity. Besides, if Samsung had used a Wolfson DAC we wouldn't even be having this discussion. We'd all be using Voodoo Sound & be happy :)

i've installed a nightly and flashed the latest gapps, but i have no gmail, google maps or navigation. when i try to get them from the market it says they are incompatibile with my phone. am i missing something?
[Galaxy S II General] gwak:
The moral of the story is read 3 times flash once. I like a number of readers to this forum have flashed nightlies for a while now. So when I saw update for the 20 May , hey ho just download it and flash it as normal. WRONG why didn't I see the cm7 bit :) In my defence, I had been out running most of the day and I am getting too old for that:) But after not spotting cm7 I had to use my head for a bit to restore my phone to normal :)
[Galaxy S II General] MistahBungle:
Are you certain you're not one of the people who flashed a CM7 build ?
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
Hmm works fine for me. Maybe you need to work on your technique.
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
Well you can group message using the stock app as well. Just add a persons name like you normally do then add a comma follwed by a space & type the next persons name

Also since this being my 1st post on xda I'd like to thank codeworkx, everybody from team hacksung & anybody else involved in this project for creating & maintaining cyanogenmod for our galaxy s2. Even though I have'nt come on xda I've been reading up this forum everyday for the past 4 months & I thought well its about time I get myself on xda. Imo this has got to be the best rom. Patiently waiting for the menu long press search function to get added once again.

Full wipe from recovery>Flash cm9

[Galaxy S II General] Nexu$:
Morning all!!!

Could anyone tell me what values I should put where in the menu for Display, so it is similar/identical to the stock ICS settings? Currently, CM is slow to adjust when I walk in the sun - it is impossible to see the screen for several seconds, which is annoying when you have an incoming call and cannot see who is calling :confused:

I read that this directly affects battery life but since I have the 2000mAh pack, I am willing to sacrifice some juice to be able to read the screen on incoming calls. My other S2 is running stock ICS XWLPD (NEE) and have zero issues reading it at all times.

Do any of you guys know the magic combination and where it should be entered? Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] Sponge_Noob:
Well you'll do the next.

Pull off the batery, and with it off push vol up, home and power.

With still pushing them put on the batery. It should enter in recovery mode.

You should do wipe data.

Fantastic...

On my SGS2, in what folder under system do I put the user.conf and userinit.sh files.

I have no /system/sd and using term emulator to do this is telling me this is not a directory (unless I was suppose to create this directory - not sure).

[Galaxy S II General] jav92:

you'll not loose anything.

Follow Instructions on 1st page.
[Galaxy S II General] xzion:
certainly not. i'm running the 20120517 nightly, with the 20120429 gapps. should it be installed with gapps, or should i be able to get it from the market?
[Galaxy S II General] Danwms:
Help Please

I wonder if anyone can help me.

Im on the latest release, everything was working fine.

I woke up this morning an my phone was off and now it will not turn on no matter what I try

I was hoping that the battery had gone so I tried a mates battery in the phone and still no luck.

Anyone got any ideas?
[Galaxy S II General] blaze2k:
I managed by going in download mode and flashing resurection :) But everything got erased. Atleast I have my phone back cause I got a little bit scared when noticed cant go in recovery mode.
[Galaxy S II General] julianjm:
Try a USB JIG... They cost 2-3$ on ebay.
[Galaxy S II General] Danwms:
Is that the situation they are used for.

It will not turn on at all, will not go into recovery mode either.

---------- Post added at 09:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 AM ----------

Im getting nothing on the screen whats so ever.
[Galaxy S II General] bb42001:
Interesting fact is i got myself a USB Jig but it doesn't do anything at all, i followed videos around the place and nope nothing, any ideas, or does it not work with the T version of the SG2
[Galaxy S II General] Juzman:
Worked fine on my I9100T model GS2. :-)
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
I'm my experience, if the jig doesn't work its time to cash in on your house/mobile provider insurance.
[Galaxy S II General] bb42001:
oh ok, so it just doesn't like my phone then, good to know... but if you dont mind sharing what steps did you follow?
[Galaxy S II General] MistahBungle:
If your jig doesn't work you've either got a faulty jig or (more likely) you're running the 'new' bootloader. In that case you have two options; A) use Triangle Away or B) flash the old bootloader so your jig will work.

Edit to add - as per the post under mine, yes, it might well get rid of your triangle, but it won't reset your flash counter, which is what I meant.
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
Jig works on new boot loader too. It just doesn't reset you flash counter on the new boot loader.
[Galaxy S II General] Danwms:
No lights are coming on at all.

I would be happy if I could get to download mode but nothing is happening at all. No lights on the soft buttons or the screen.

Is this the situation where the USB JIG is used?

No idea how this has happened because the phone was working fine.
[Galaxy S II General] sadonlyone:

[Galaxy S II General] bb42001:
Why is that? nothing is wrong with the phone all there is, is a not even annoying yellow triangle?

---------- Post added at 07:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 PM ----------

Pretty sure my bootloader is DUKJ1
[Galaxy S II General] Sponge_Noob:
It has to work, trust me you have to take off the batery and push the keys to enter in recovery. So the phone is turned off because it has no batery. You continud pushing the buttons (vol up, home, power) and put the batery on. But you have to continue pressing the buttons while you put the battery. The phone will enter in recovery mode by its own after that instead of trying to boot

I hope this can help you!

With the new bootloader the jig didn't work for me at all, let alone reset flash counter. Flashing the old bootloader made it work completely.

Sorry to bother, but does nightly 0520 broke lux autobrightness capability to override stock autobrightness?

It seems to me that lux reading stays stuck at 3000 lux even in full darkness.

Ok I skip aside from those crazy bs about codeworkx and cm ROM.

About autobrightness I can confirm that I'm back to 0518 build and lux autobrightness is back on the saddle. Light sensor works flawlessy

Codeworkx has been here for more than 1 years now working on this device, on CM7 and CM9, and is giving most of his free time for us, and for free ! :cool:

He's not living for donations, otherwise his business model is the worst I saw :D

If it wasn't for him (no disrespect to the other dev contributing), CM on GS2 would barely be able to be used as a phone yet ...

You come here to spit on him with all he has done, yet you didn't do anything, and your lazy ass is not even able to start a setup from scratch ? :eek:

Please, do us this favor, move along and never come back ... :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] saltmine:
Are you ****ing kidding? Not even the Galaxy Nexus has a "stable" release of CM9 yet.

And really, what about CM9 is so unstable? Everything works fine for me.

Are you blind? Nightly builds are EXPERIMENTAL. There's no such thing as a "noob" here. Just normal people and lazy people. If you're too damn lazy to understand what you are installing, keep the phone on stock.

Why would you even install CM9, knowing that it is pre-release, on a phone that you use as your main device?

Please never come back to this thread.
[Galaxy S II General] A$h x:
Latitude itself is wakelock central. Best thing would be to sign out when you are not using it, if you leave it on you will continue to have constant wakelocks.

I find some games (draw something in particular) love to query your location for no apparent reason. You'll have to universal or freeze them to stop the wakelocks.
[Galaxy S II General] ajayshah95:
Well said.

To the troll, please do some research before you choose to make an argument, and a false one at that. Codeworkx has no obligation to do this for us, and doesn't ask for donations (obviously they are appreciated for all the work he puts in), so don't go hating on him when you don't understand what he does for the XDA and CM community.
[Galaxy S II General] julianjm:
I'm no expert, but I'm sure the bugs left, specially those specific to the galaxy s2, are still there because lack of documentation from Samsung's side.

You'll probably get flamed for your comments... but 1) You are not forced to donate 2) He and others have made AOSP roms on our devices possible.

Also, if you enable google backup, reinstalling all your apps is automatic on the new rom, and many apps (launcher specially) have the option to backup/restore configuration to the SD.

Where in my last post did I say ' The device can't go to deep sleep while the screen is on‘? Re-Read and you will find that you missed a key word 'necessarily'.

My device was charging next to me, so I was aware if the screen was going on or not which it didn't, I took it off the charger fully charged, untouched up until I took the screenshot.

I tell you one thing, and you don't listen and tell me another thing. Don't assume what the log says is accurate; that's the reason I took the screenshot and made a post in the first place.
