Contact images problem

Hi all,

after many many reading, I couldn't find the answer I was looking for.

Since my first flash (resurrection), I keep on having issues with the contact image quality, which is very very blurry.

I flashed 04/04 and yesterday 11/04, every time i wiped cache&dalvik, and even uder data.

I can get a good image quality, by replacing the originally uploaded image, by the same one, or another one. But it won't keep this image quality, as I resynchronise my S2 (everytime I flash a new nightly). I still get a very blurry image instead, and if I wan't to get a better qualty, I have to change it one by one...

I'd like to precise, that its not only the case for pictures taken with my S2, but also pictures i was sent, and pictures automatically uploaded from G+ contacts.

I wanted to know wether some others had the same issue and if there was a fix for it.

Thanks in advance !

Contact images problem

@shotta35

That's crazy, I had been wondering wether Android could have been the problem...

And had finally told myself, "Nah, impossible, they can't have released an OS with such a major bug".

Damn !

So now you can switch between MTP and UMS easily.
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
I know.

But there's actually no device i want to have.

I've no choice anyway. I've only experience on samsung platforms, so getting a non-samsung phone wouldn't be good for me and the community.

I didn't want the S2 and got it, so let's don't want the S3 and get it.

Just one no no! Screen rotation some builds back on, is not working 100% with screebl pro (3rd party app that doesn't alow the screen to go to sleep if the phone is in use, on the hand). The phone rotation make screebl to think that the phone is static sometimes, like when used in upwards angle (straigth up)...

This is a big concern, maybe a easy fix?

[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
I'm in the same boat... Samsung is what I know, part of me wants to branch out though in order to expand my horizons. But where?

Sony is a possibility. On one hand, they've been VERY supportive of developers with their mobile division. However, that was back when they were a joint venture, Sony Ericsson - Will they continue along this path now that they are 100% Sony? The problem is that the behavior of their mobile division is VERY uncharacteristic of them, so none of the ERDs trust them. (Especially since other divisions of Sony have done some REALLY nasty things to some of the RDs/ERDs here). Plus their newest hardware is a bit on the unexciting side...

Samsung is what we know - we at least can expect unlocked bootloaders, but on the other hand, as Samsung devices diverge more from the Nexus line, working with them becomes more difficult. Samsung refuses to cooperate with the third-party developer community at all, except for, as far as I can tell, throwing a few free devices over the wall as a PR stunt. The problem is that devices are nowhere near as valuable as information - if I had even just Samsung's header file for libgps it would save me tens of hours of work - that's more valuable to me than another device. (Right now, as it is, I'm getting spread too thin with too many devices.)

The problem is that even the ERDs have no useful contacts at Samsung - we have to deal with the same non-useful customer service emails that everyone else does. We can't get a header file for a library, we can't get an answer of "why is this the way it is?", we get nothing. Not having any information and documentation at all leads to lots of guessing and lots of time spent reverse engineering what is going on.

If I were even getting a trickle of useful information from Samsung, I'd ask XDA for the current Note to work on, and would probably also immediately buy the Note 10.1 with my own money on release day. But right now - that would just get me MORE frustration.

Hi everybody!

First, congratulations to the devs team for their awesome work, I'm loving CM9!

But, I have an issue with the HSDPA +,looks it doesn't work on that ROM.

Is it a known issue?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
It should, but it will never be shown as H+.
[Galaxy S II General] Grimbolt:
please note that actually there's no symbol for HSDPA+

You have to check your phone state.
[Galaxy S II General] Reed-Sternberg:
CM9 is working perfectly well for me as a daily rom, to the extend that I've not updated since 12.4.4 (or at least everything I use, works fine). The only minor annoyance is that when I press either home or power button to wake the phone, it takes 2 or 3 seconds to actually wake from sleep. I had this issue with resurrection remix, and the official LPQ too. I searched a bit but didn't find any way to fix it. Does anyone have a suggestion for me? What's causing this anyway?

Thanks to the team.
[Galaxy S II General] espenfjo:
That is the way it works.

When the phone is in deep sleep it needs some time to actually start everything up again.
[Galaxy S II General] Kichikuro:

Can't understand the crazy popularity of the FM radio on a mobile phone !?

What's the attraction?
[Galaxy S II General] dboechat:
Everyday I spend 1,5 hours on average going to and returning from work by bus, and I use the FM radio to listen to the news while on transit. Where I live it's not a viable option to do that using data streaming...
[Galaxy S II General] lrbpereira:
Listening to sport events, music, in places at in times that you don't have TV, net, etc... Think it's an very important feature.
[Galaxy S II General] dboechat:
Yeah, and it's one of the features that distinguishes our device from others. :)

CM9 is great, but what's the point if it has to cannibalize each devices specific characteristics to work?
[Galaxy S II General] Mtdjassen:
Had a great time with the latest build yesterday. Utterly stable and not really missing the features. However I came across a rather undesirable bug which I couldn't find in the FAQ at a glance: I don't have a network connection on 3G, although HSDPA works fine. Is it worth the effort to flash another modem?

I'm back on my nandroid backup of cm7 for the time being, would love some feedback.
[Galaxy S II General] Rumble6059:
Feedback... Use the search button, this has been raised and responded to many many times in this thread since the latest version got released. And no there isn't a fix, just flash the 06 or 11 version, that's working great!

Just flashed most recent nightling(20120413). Great work! I've been waiting since 20120402 for implementation of switching between MTP, PTP and UMS without adb. I experienced one kernel panic while using UMS, but most of the time it works flawlessly. Icon-shortcut in notification drawer, which allows to quickly change USB mode, is missing. Also, there is strange bug: sometimes when I wake up my phone and start entering unlock pattern, it interrupts, and starts entering pattern from the place, where I have my finger. After pressing power button, waiting for a while and pressing again, I can enter pattern normally. It's little annoying, especially when I have to unlock my phone quickly. The only things I miss are GPS(however, I don't use it frequently) and advanced lock screen settings(like setting custom shortcuts and after sliding to "Unlock" it asks for pattern/password/PIN/face).

Great work codeworkx and teamhacksung, I'm looking forward for stable! :)

If you are missing the USB notification in the notification bar when changing from UMS to MTP/PTP you need to clear dalvik cache.

Or do you mean that the USB settings page in the notification bar is replaced by the UMS page when you set UMS?

At the kernel level, time to resume from suspend went from 650 msec to 1000 msec - just for the kernel to resume.

This is universal for all ICS firmwares.

I was really hoping Samsung would improve suspend/resume processing, but they made it worse with ICS:

1) Total time to resume up to 1 second just for the kernel before userland can even do anything.

2) cpuidle disabled for the entirety of the suspend/resume process IN ADDITION TO locking frequency to 800 MHz.

Eventually I want to work on 2) - but there's so much else still to fix.

I hear it before but never used it until now so I couldn't confirm it. Is UMS speed slow because of some issue on ICS code? Because with GB I was able to get over 6MB/s and now I can't get over 2MB/s and most of the time sits a little above 1MB/s. I have a Class 10 MicroSD.
[Galaxy S II General] Brodie.K:
Quick Question: I've searched through this thread many many times and haven't seen anyone mention an issue with "touch to focus" in the camera.

The camera works great now after the latest patch, but whenever I want to focus the camera by touching the screen, it just gives me a red box and doesn't focus.

I've done a factory reset, wiped cache, and I'm running todays 20120413 build. Is this happening to everyone or should I try to take this one step further and install the Resurrection build through Odin to see if that resolves it?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II General] sm0use:
Yeah you can
[Galaxy S II General] unease:
Red box will come if the subject you are focusing is not clear or if its too far or close to the lens. Try focusing in a clear lit environment onto a darker object.
[Galaxy S II General] nachicocum:
This is why it's so funny, the battery is just awesome, so yeah it's you not the ROM
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotcobain:
I am sorry but your screen isn't on top -> use your phone with 6 hours screen on time and then see what you get...
[Galaxy S II General] Brodie.K:
Thanks, I've actually tried all types of photos for the past few weeks. Outdoor landscapes, up close objects, medium distance objects, etc. No matter what it's never focused like it used to on other roms or stock - it's always a red square.

So what you're saying is, your phone on CM9 can focus?

I just want to confirm it does work before spending more time on fixing it. I was actually going to use the Resurrection build but the USB connection kept cutting in and out as if the cable or connection was worn out so flashing with Odin seems a little risky now.
[Galaxy S II General] unease:
Yes bro... I actually double checked when I saw your comment and I do get the green focus box. And yeah! don't risk flashing using a faulty cable. Use Mobile ODIN pro app. It helps you flash in-phone without any other complexity. Mind you, its a paid app created by ChainFire

MobileODIN Pro

You just need to extract the resurrection build using Zip and copy it onto internal/external storage and rest is easy. Good luck mate.
[Galaxy S II General] Brodie.K:
Thanks for that! MobileOdinPro definitely looks like the path I'll take. $5 for Odin on my device sounds fair since USB is risky for me. Hopefully after all this, flashing the Resurrection build will fix my problem.
[Galaxy S II General] unease:
Just noticed that you can actually flash resurrection editions directly as MobileOdinPro support direct flash of .tar.md5 files.

:)
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
You know you can get mobile Odin for free, right..? Just so you're well informed.

Hi there,

I hope this is the appropriate place to ask.

I am on an unrooted, bone stock intl. SGSII running Android 2.3.4. and I believe that CM9 has become stable enough by now for a bloody noob like myself to try an flash it.

I was going to use the noob proof instructions from the original post in this thread.

Since I'm not rooted and thus don't have CMW Recovery yet, I was wondering if there is a stock backup on my phone already, in case I need/want to revert back to my current stock setup?
[Galaxy S II General] ghassir:
I think no;but u can reflash it with the original version from samfirmware.com.

Note ur current version!
[Galaxy S II General] gasparzim:
Nope, you should make one after you root and install CWM.
[Galaxy S II General] unease:
Unfortunately No..

Few Recommendations:

1) Use kies and backup your contacts,messages and other settings.

2) Use app such as ES File Explorer from market and backup your apps.

3) Follow instructions at Galaxy Root Instructions and root your phone. After root, install CWM recovery and do a nandroid backup. You can always revert back to stock by flashing Stock kernel of Gingerbread via ODIN.

Once you have CWM recovery, there is no holding back... CM way it is.. ;)

And I can guarantee you, once you are in CM9, you may go back to GB but immediately get back to CM9. Its addictive. Am a victim :)
