Does anyone facing problem with video recording?

All HD recordings are not full screen. I mean, If I choose 720p+ then the image on the display is getting smaller. On the PC I need to strech them on the whole monitor.
[Galaxy S II General] fjkum:
Yeah, I don't understand why when recording in 720p, the screen in the LCD gets smaller.
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think it has to do with aspect ratio. 800x480 has a ratio of 5:3 while 1280x720 has a ratio of 16:9.

Scrolling

Hi,

First of all: thanks for everything that has been done on this project so far, this has been the best experience on my phone ever.

Although I've seen this subject passing by several times, I still have some questions on (browser) scrolling and pinch to zoom in ICS / CM9.

I know there's such a thing as elastic scrolling in the browser, but it's still a little bit jittery (screen sensitivity = 30%). However, when using Opera Mini Next, pinch to zoom is as smooth as can be. Yet, the way it zooms is different: the stock browser zooms right between your fingers and you can even move around with 2 fingers on the screen, where Opera zooms at the center of the page and you can only move around with 1 finger.

Can anyone what the exact difference is, and if it'd ever be possible to get the same smooth experience in the stock browser?

P.S. Zooming in the gallery is perfect!

is there a way to turn off haptic feedback completely ?

altough i turned it off in the settings, it still appears to work when ticking on icons (when you move them on screen for example)
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
I'm not sure what you mean "smaller" - the LCD on the SGS2 is 800 x 480. During the preview with the bar being on the right takes up X amount of pixels from that 800. So basically it's left with say 700 x 480. Don't tell me you expected it to be able to display at 1280 x 720 image within that space at full screen and still display all the detail? Obviously the same that goes for 1080p. The same happens to 2:35:1 movies on 16:9 (1:85:1) TVs, the black bars show at the top and the bottom.

That is unless you are talking something else where the image gets shrunken with black bars all around the preview. In that case something is wrong with your setup as I don't get that.

[Galaxy S II General] Jigen90:
Hi guys, I've only a simple question, just to get few feedbacks..

While recording videos, no matter which resolution, with standard camera app(the one in CM9) I get stuttering and lag.

I tried power shutter, but that doesn't change..

Is it only me getting that problem while recording videos?

Anyone else?

Thanks for replies

I'm on CM9 20120516, Siyah kernel 3.2.3
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
I'd say it sorta happens on CM9 also but since you are not using CM9 Kernel don't post any issues here as was said in the OP. :confused:

Test using CM9 kernel and no other mods and see if it happens then report that.

[Galaxy S II General] dyleks:
Hi guys.

I am following this thread since long time and finaly I decided to install CM9.

Almost everything is OK but ...

Just for information I had original samsung ROM (2.3.5).

I have done everythink like it is said on the first page:

- installed CM9 Resurrection Edition 20120420

- downloaded the newest update-cm-9-20120517-NIGHTLY-galaxys2-signed.zip and Google Apps 20120429.

- copied to internal memory and installed through ClockworkMod Recovery with wipe cache partition and dalvik-cache.

And Ihave noticed two issues:

1. I cannot install GmailApp nad Kies AIR from GooglePlay (not compatible)

2. Under ClockworkMod Recovery I cannot mount external SD card I get this message: E:Can't mount /sdcard/

So if I wana install some updates (google apps, nightly update) I have to copy them by ASTRO to internal memory.

Sorry if there are somwhere information about that but I couldn't find them :/
[Galaxy S II General] andlid:
nightly build problem,

have the most current nightly build and had an earlier one before that and have some strange battery issue. when browsing or using facebook application the phones sometimes dies from 80% battery takes forever to be able to start it again and then battery is on red. It takes a while and then its back to 60% odd. I thought it might be the battery but no so sure now. If I use it for tethering its grand until it goes all the way down so Im suspecting over voltage of some sort cpu settings? anyone else having them issues? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] dyleks:
Thanks for such quick answer.

I know that it is not such big problem bacues there is plenty of other ways to do that. I just was wondering if I have done something wrong.

The most important thing for me is just gmail app because I do not like this standar email app - it cannot handle plenty of gmail labels as it can do gmail app.
[Galaxy S II General] Jigen90:
Thank U, Siyah kernel was causing that or probably a cpu governor. Now it's smooth.

I'm running latest cm9, with cm9 kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
Not sure what to tell you as i'm on the Market now and Gmail can be installed just fine. Didn't say anything about incompatible. If you did any mods like DPI or something then it might show as not compatible.
[Galaxy S II General] sissemen:
Portrait mode (samsung logo top) left and right.

Landscape mode is the same, image not stretched and BIG black bars on left and right (samsung logo left)

On panorama mode even worst, black bars all around. Image is a small square in the center.
[Galaxy S II General] fjkum:
Okay, I was using the wrong word to describe the screen size in the preview screen. So they are called black bars, and thanks for explaining about the aspect ratios. At least this is not an issue.
[Galaxy S II General] dyleks:
I have no mods. Just clear install and update to the newest nightly.

I cannot find Gmail through Play app on my S2 but I canfind it on PC (play.google.com).
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
Guess you should probably format or something then as it doesn't look that way here:

Check it out guys I just suffered from a kernel panic.. gave me a shock.. but hard reboot solved the problem.. what's wrong?
[Galaxy S II General] FRLinux:
Not, I am referring to a package which modifies the camera lense default settings.
[Galaxy S II General] Droum:
Well... according to the picture, I'm really positive, and I can say for sure, with no margin for doubt, that what happened to your phone was a Kernel Panic. And now it's in Upload Mode.

Sorry man, I had to. :-)

Without logs it will be impossible for the devs to understand why you had that kernel panic.

And what you mean by shocking? It was a shocking event? Or did it really shocked you?

[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
Depends what launcher you're using. With Apex, it is under Behavior settings > long press feedback (last 2 options).

Updated to latest nightly. But one issue remains.

Was working fine in the beginning but while deleting multiple threads in messaging or when exiting previews of photos in an album, the whole corners of the screen light up red for a second. Like a red box enveloping the edges. Weird. Anyone had this?

[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:

[Galaxy S II General] elektroinside:
Have you tried connecting to another network, like some other wifi or 3g? I don't know if the ip address is relevant enough for Google play, or your issue is phone product code related, but worth to try changing your Internet connection while downloading Gmail
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
That won't change anything. Only way to change that is using an entirely different sim. Or of course faking it using market enabler.

Calendar swallowing birthdates of contacts

Hi everybody,

after a lot of reading here and weighing the "pre-alpha" status of CM9, I finally made the switch and, overall, I'm very happy.

I have one issue, though: I have several contacts that have birthday dates attached, and those dates are shown correctly when viewing the contact. The birthdays are not shown in the calender, though, although I have everything ticked in calendar settings that remotely looks like it might be relevant.

In case it might be relevant, all of my contacts are on an account associated with the CardDAV-Sync app, there are no contacts in my Google account, while the only option that read "Contact Birthdates" (or similar) are under my Google account in calendar settings. The same is true for week numbers and holidays, though, which are shown just fine. Also, if I create a new contact in my Google account, the birthday associated with that contact is not shown, either, although it, too, displays correctly when I view the contact in the contacts app. On the Samsung ROM I was using before (from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1544487&page=135) this worked perfectly.

I noticed this on the 11/05 nightly with 20120429 gapps, and on the 16/05 nightly with both the 20120429 and the 20120317 gapps.

I tried searching the thread, but couldn't find anything relevant; all I found were solutions if my contacts were on Google and/or for an apparently outdated version of calendar. I'm pretty sure I did a factory reset when I switched from the Samsung ROM to CM9, but not 100% certain. All synchronization of calendar and contact data (via CalDAV-Sync and CardDAV-Sync apps) works perfectly; only the display of birthdates in calendar does not. Everything calendar related I found in this thread had to do with synchronizing calendars, which works.

Is anybody else experiencing this or, even better, has a fix for it? Where could/should I be looking? Or is this a known issue (even though it's not on the Known Issues list)?

You didn't really give much information about your problem. APN problems can be caused by having a SIM PIN though. Try disabling that and rebooting.

Vibrate and Ring Setting

Hi, not sure if this has been addressed already, but I have the latest nightly CM9 (update-cm-9-20120517-NIGHTLY-galaxys2-signed). I go to settings-sound and tick the Vibrate and Ring option but everytime I reboot the phone the option is unticked. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong here? Thanks.

I agree it probably should be in the Known Issues, but the fix is not simple due to Samsung's goofy drivers.

[Galaxy S II General] elektroinside:
You have to find out what's the reason for your battery drain. Screen, wifi/3g activity (scheduled email syncs etc), wakelocks are usually the reason. Install BetterBatteryStats, monitor your battery usage etc to find out.

No problem when screen is turned off/on on homescreen only in aplications.

[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Android OS is not a good indicator of anything for a couple of reasons, 1) it tends to be a catch all for anything that doesn't fall into any other category, so it's very difficult to actually diagnose anything based on it, 2) It has had numerous problems with misreporting/over reporting it's actual use, i'm not sure it still does in ICS but it used to double count screen on time in GB among other things.

As suggested by elektroinside, get better battery stats, post a screenshot of the Kernel Wakelocks and Partial Wakelocks after a full night of idle use so we can see what wakes the phone up while idle, that way we can diagnose the problem and offer suggestions. In general bad battery life is not ROM or kernel related, it's usually an app waking the phone up with background processes, if we eliminate any possible app problems, then we can look at the system.

Personally I get around 1% an hour under idle conditions with syncs on, etc...

Known issue, some people say turning off autobrightness is a work around for this.
[Galaxy S II General] elektroinside:
Yep... One practical idea would be to disable all syncs, any scheduled stuff used by installed apps, see if this helps. Also disable third party apps notifications/alerts you do not need/use...
[Galaxy S II General] tomekagu:
Yep it's work, but I need automatic brightnes control. So must wait for repair this issue by Dev.

You need to be in the C:\.....\.....\platform-tools\ folder to adb

If you want to adb from everywhere you need to modify you environmental settings in advanced system settings and edit the PATH there with the platform-tools location.

Use the ";" to separate the platform-tools location from the rest that is there.

In my case: ;E:\android\platform-tools\

Right click My Computer and click properties.

Open advanced system settings to open advanced tab.

click environmental variables and scroll down till you see "path"

Click edit and copy paste the platform-tools directory there,

You also might want to add the location of your java/bin install there

In my case java 7: ;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin
