I didn't say you did (apart from demanding a FAQ that already existed albeit not to your satisfaction), I said "some people" - I was talking about the subsection of people in this thread that collectively are demanding. I think you are great value and was not refering to you. As an aside I've already praised and thanked you for contributing the battery mods, but nevermind. </rant>. Let's return some normality to this thread. Y NO DATA & UTUBE WORK>>>?

Somebody having problems with the GPS on latest build (01182012)? , i cannot get a fix even on my app, neither Google Maps.

Anyone ?
[Galaxy S II General] more2come:
Me, too. Trying to fix it myself now.
[Galaxy S II General] shayne77:
My satisfaction???? LOL

The FAQ works quite well then if people are still asking the same questions then eh? Take some responsibility, its not all the users fault mate... how the information is delivered is 50% of the problem as well... imagine if our schools were like that "there's a library, go read stuff and you'll learn lots and grow up to be a Rocket Scientist" we don't need a classroom and a teacher anymore :)

[Galaxy S II General] Gustopher:
You've made some valuable contributions to XDA and I don't want to get into a spat with you, but you are consistently wide of the mark at the moment.

It is not lack of resource that is causing the issues here, it is lack of respect and the repeated manifestation of the all-pervading entitlement culture. All that is being asked of people is that they invest a little time and effort before posting - if they did there would be far fewer posts and far fewer pissed off Devs and other users.

The schools analogy is interesting, but last I looked the site was xda-developers.com, not xda-kindergarten.com.
[Galaxy S II General] dougaus:
Totally agree

I totally agree, I'm absolutely amazed about the sense of entitlement people have and it's not just in this thread but in others. I don't recall the sense of entitlement being as strong in the G1 threads, nor in the Samsung GII non-ICS threads.

As you'll note, I have a low posting level but that is because I do read threads to try and understand whether something is for me or how to solve my own issues. Sometimes I can't resolve issues with installing or using particular ROMs, even after a lot of reading, so I end up using another ROM. Personally, I'd sooner do that than bug developers because I don't want to distract them with trivial issues or those that I have potentially trivially caused.

Yes, wading through threads is time-consuming, if there is no FAQ which summarises the thread -- some people have been nice enough to write some for some. However, I'm not an arbiter of how people spend their personal time, particularly when I haven't spent the time to summarise threads for others either -- if developers want to develop, rather than document, that is their choice and if they prefer to post answers in threads, rather than FAQs, that is their choice also.

I've actually found XDA search fine to find answers and there's google too. Sometimes rephrasing your search terms will work wonders.

On reflection, I'd have to say that there is not just a sense of entitlement in threads but also child-like impatience. None of this is helping the developers, which means it slows down development. I think some sort of post-demotion system is indeed warranted.

Kudos to the developers on XDA and those that help them -- you do amazing things in *your* free time and I really appreciate being able to download such high quality alternative ROMs.
[Galaxy S II General] shayne77:
Respect by which party? And consistantly wide of the mark? Is that you nicely saying you're full of s%$*? Or I don't know what im talking about because oh I forgot, im just a "user"... I can't have half a brain to actually have an opinion about both sides of the fence.

But yes, let's move on... now I have 790,000 google results to sift through to find a battery drain problem... =)

Btw im not offended by one thing anyone has said above. I enjoy the discussion and I certainly hope no one feels I attacked them?

Today's Nightly is 17-5-2012 not 18-5-2012 ?????
[Galaxy S II General] 0355:
Very minor glitch: notifications sounds named "Bellatrix" and "Betelgeuse" return the very same sound.

More annoying: when adding pictures in non standard folders on a micro sd (e.g. a folder called "Pictures" and not standard camera folder "DCIM/Camera") are shown correctly in Quickpic but not in stock gallery app...

I have 24 Pictures in the folder /emmc/Pictures and Gallery shows only 22 (the last 2 where added after last reboot). Quickpick correctly shows all 24 of them.

Usually a reboot fixes the problem. Using the function "refresh" inside gallery doesn't help.

Full wiped 0516 nightly, stock kernel, stock voltages only gpu clock tweaked via init script.

Not a great bug, but it would be cool to understand the source of it.

---------- Post added at 09:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 AM ----------

For me is working correctly for instant messaging (chat) but not for audio/video calls.

When I receive a video chat invitation I can accept and see myself (picture in picture) but not the caller nor I hear anything. Caller says he can hear me fine but I can't hear him.

Also from contact list inside gtalk I can only do audio chats as the video camera icon beside a name isn't shown. There's just the mic icon.
[Galaxy S II General] dchn2:
stock cm9 gallery update needs to be triggered by mediascanner. some free apps can do that.
[Galaxy S II General] Byakuya88:
Can you give me the best GPU values ?? and for the init script how to do it, because with Terminal Emulator i have to do it every time i reboot my phone, it's a little bit annoying
[Galaxy S II General] 0355:
#!/system/bin/sh
echo "120 166 267" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/gpu_clock_control/gpu_control

Make the script file from the phone, as in wimdows seem to be some text encoding issues that make it unusable.

Credit goes to "iamnotkurtcobain"
[Galaxy S II General] Byakuya88:
it's possible to do it with a GPU control app?? or it's better to do it with init script ??
[Galaxy S II General] 0355:
I do it with script (to me it's more polite), if you want to use some sort of app I suppose there's plenty of that in the play store... (voltagecontrol or similar)

P.S:

Anyone or anything for my problem with gtalk video chat?
[Galaxy S II General] federico72:
No one is having problems with the ringtone that plays only once?

I'm on NB 20120514 now and in the last three/four I tested the sample plays only once.

I already cleaned Dalvik cache and Cache.
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
Thanks. I'm using 110 as lowest now. Smooth with Apex. You should try it ;)
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
Flash fluxi kernel... tweaker app lets you choose gpu voltages and steps
[Galaxy S II General] nutmegy:
you have to make sure it is an ogg file.. and modify the header info in it... mp3s will not loop
[Galaxy S II General] 0355:
Yep, but I am sentimentally bonded with trebuchet... LOL, I don't know if I can stand the switch to another launcher (I heard very good things about Apex Pro version anyway...).

P.S.

As a matter of fact I tried skype video chat functionalities and they are fine, don't know if gtalk video chat is broken in cm9 "by design" or it's just something about my installation...
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Gtalk video was working fine for me last nite.

Also, you should give Apex Pro a try, you won't regret it.

[Galaxy S II General] 0355:
Ok let's see... did you flash the newest (0429) gapps package lately?
[Galaxy S II General] federico72:
It's strange, because I'm using the same ogg file used in anothers NB and it loop fine when I test it, for example on audio settings when you choose a ringtone. I tested even with CM Ringtones with the same results.

Do you know what program can I use under Ubuntu to check the header of the ogg file?

[Galaxy S II General] 0355:
Gtalk problem (mainly) solved...

there was a missing library lost somewhere somehow...

Still a minor issue, I can't initiate a video chat in any way... in contact list I still have only mic icon beside contact names, no camcorder icon...

I can answer to a videocall though and it works fine...

Edit:

Fixed, I just needed to receive a videocall from a device with front facing camera and the "camera" icon has been activated...

Anybody else having delays when phoning people?

With the last few nighties I seem to be getting a delay upto about 10 seconds after initiating call for the phone app to pop up and actually start dialing. :(
[Galaxy S II General] nutmegy:
not all the time for me.. but have noticed a couple of calls like that..
[Galaxy S II General] DSF:
Two major issues I have :rolleyes:

1.

I'm having huge battery drain while unplugged.

The kworker processes are killing the battery. I've installed Watchdog and set alerts when a process uses too much CPU. Got plenty of kworker alerts... Android Status is also a good tool to see how much CPU is taking a process. Mediaserver takes almost constantly 2%+ CPU without playing any media, touching any buttons (for triggering sound).

In these conditions, Android OS consumed more battery (in "standby") in about 2-3 hours than 2:30 hours screen time..

2.

Had 2 random KERNEL PANIC, yesterday when I woke up I found the phone as that. :(.

Using cm-9-20120509-NIGHTLY. Stock CM9 kernel.

Any idea guys?

When I've switched to CM9, I've flashed CM9 ressurection, gapps, wiped everything, flashed the nightly and that's it

[Galaxy S II General] alexeiw123:

[Galaxy S II General] elektroinside:

[Galaxy S II General] federico72:

For every one who need to loop an .ogg ringtone on Ubuntu: download KID3 and create a field called ANDROID_LOOP, set the value to TRUE. Done!
[Galaxy S II General] lolo-kun:
Very well done sir, and thank you a lot. I was having the same problem as Deniken. I deactivated the 'SIM locking' in 'Security', rebooted and then I had my APNs back.

But a problem remains: I could not manually add a new APN. The one I tried to add only showed after I deactivated SIM locking and rebooted.
[Galaxy S II General] vijaysivakula:
My Titanium Backup stops working whenever i flash the nightly. When i uninstall and reinstall it says "Insufficient Storage". I have to do a factory reset and reinstall all my apps / data every time. Is this happening to others too? What is the solution?
[Galaxy S II General] okmijnlp:
Delete the Titanium Backup ODEX.
[Galaxy S II General] vijaysivakula:
Hi. Could you help me with the process please?
[Galaxy S II General] mihaits:
delete the file com.keramidas.titaniumbackup.odex (or something like that) in data/app.
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
The latest one. Your on an old ROM. So the problems that you are having have most likely been reported and solved, then applied to the update that came after. If you have problems on older roms. Issues and bugs that are reported are already obsolete because the rom in out of date. 17/05/12 is the latest rom. Flash that and see if your issue persist. If they do, try to search for the issue in the thread. 9 times out of 10 you won't be the first to report it. If a search reveals nothing(search function isn't the best IMO) then post a log and see if someone in the know can isolate the issue. But essentially. If your on an outdated rom and are having issues. First port of call should be to just update to the latest rom.

Full wipes can sometimes solve certain problems too
[Galaxy S II General] anto.danny:
after installing nova launcher my phone is uber fast!!! And i think ram usage is also less compared to Trebuchet am not sure of it though...:o
[Galaxy S II General] DSF:
Updated to last nightly. Got 2 kworker alerts already. Maybe it's an app that causes these problems. I will look on logs and see if I can detect something.

Can you install Watchdog lite and see if you get any CPU high usage alert when not using the phone and when the device it's not charging (Preferences > CPU threshold = 30%)?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Hi guys. Sorry if this has been answered already....does anyone else have problems downloading from mediafire now? Never had problems before, but just recently, all mediafire links on my phone just go to a blank white screen.....any ideas?

Mac epoc and the video files

It's would seem the video files created by the camera application are in fact in quicktime format.

$ qtdump VID_20120427_182526.3gp | head

The quicktime spec https:// developer.apple.com/ library/mac/#documentation/QuickTime/QTFF/QTFFChap2/qtff2.html

has the following to say about date tags;

But is seems the camera app is instead storing as unix epoc (1970)

$ date -d @1336140136

Is this something that can be fixed? (note: it is an unsigned 32-bit number not signed 32-bit like the unix epoc).

Go to Google Calendar on the PC then look for additional calendars, then add birthday calendars. Google will scan your Google Contacts database and create calendar entries in there. They will show up on another calendar and you can then sync those to your phone using another color if you wish to separate them from your normal busy day.

Did a bit of a search and found this.

http://askubuntu.com/questions/33640/kworker-what-is-it-and-why-is-it-hogging-so-much-cpu

I don't know how you have your device set up, so I don't know if this will relate to your device. Looks like some sort of process is waking the device, and it never returns to deep sleep (Email push? FB push) something like that maybe. Essentially it seems to be kernel related. Maybe try using a different kernel (siyah or sneak maybe) for a couple of full charge cycles and see if it persists. I remember a few months back I had wake locks.due to email push being active. I changed the sync schedule to either off completely, or 1 hour refresh intervals and I haven't suffered since. Also try looking at the better battery stats thread ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 ) no doubt its been mentioned a few times in there.

I don't use push e-mail, just imap synched at 1 hour. I'm using also FB, Twitter, instagram, etc. Don't know if it has to do with those apps. Maybe with Elixir 2 (it updates every x sec the widgets). I will dig more.

[Galaxy S II General] aaron552:
Not all games. Angry Birds works fine, in my experience, as does Draw Something and Cytus. Games that freeze (for me) are Temple Run (entire phone locks up randomly) and Plants vs Zombies (App randomly freezes, but music continues to play and can be force-closed). However, I expect getting games to work is fairly low-priority right now. I'd suggest coming back with these issues when it's in RC.
[Galaxy S II General] estpoc:
Temple run is an ics compatibility problem, not cm9 specific.
