Thanks for searching my answer and glad that this worked for you too, honestly with bt and Wi-Fi on, I can still get 13 h of battery so not bad, again I'm still using the build on the 18 with lp2 kernal and lp1 radio, yes I do have network issues but that doesn't bother me much

Still trying to figure out why this is happening tho, but I'm 100% sure that Bluetooth isn't working very well yet as I came across a problem, if I hang up a call using my phone instead my headset my play button on the headset becomes the mute button (a sign of headset still thinks its on a call)

Don't think we can do much until the kernel source code is release to public (not until then we can have custom kernels and a fully complete cm9)

Semacaunt from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
[Galaxy S II General] gouldy26:
is it me, or is the build from the 6th january still the best build, all since then have been a backwards step imo
[Galaxy S II General] Dimand:
I am having a lot of issues with the gps. It stopped working a few weeks back. I just thought it was an issue of one of the builds. However, I am now running the latest and it is still not working.

This is not a long time to lock issue. I am not getting any gps signal at all.

Any help?
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Make sure you have GPS source set to internal, a few people had it set to external by default through no fault of their own.
[Galaxy S II General] Dimand:
First thing I checked. Wasn't the issue.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Download GPS Status & Toolbox https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5lY2xpcHNpbS5ncHNzdGF0dXMyIl0. from google play, use it to download new AGPS data, see if that helps with getting a connection/lock. It's always better to try and get a cold lock outside in a clear area if you can.
[Galaxy S II General] Dimand:
That's the program I have always used to test my gps.

Assistance data downloads fine. I sit outside and don't get reception from a single sat.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Strange....well, baseband affects GPS performance, you could try changing radios and see if that helps. You're sure you're on Earth? Cuz if you are on a different planet you may not get GPS signal.
[Galaxy S II General] Dimand:
It's more likely the gps modal is not activating or broken (I hope not). Definatly on earth.

By baseband you mean modem? I have tried numerous modems with no change.

Seeing if a full wipe fixes anything.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Yeah, I mean modem, if you tried that then try a wipe to see if its a software issue. Beyond that, its likely a hardware defect which means sending it to Sammy, lucky you.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Try to adjust your gps.conf to your country. Here in Brazil I set the server to south-america.pool...... Using XXLPS as modem, and I get 9 fix and 10 found. There's some threads here about it.
[Galaxy S II General] RaPiiDe:
Hello everyone. I want to know if I could put on the CM9 mms.apk on my GS II stock rom (on ICS)? I tried but I never succeeded (even with Root Explorer and restarting. Application crash.) I know, there is some aleternative on the Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.concentriclivers.mms.com.android.mms) but this one has not as many settings as the CM9 (possibility of the precise time of the message).

Thank you !
[Galaxy S II General] sagiuralev:
there is an app in the play store called orientation control

that does just that
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
CM9 MMS app requires the AOSP framework, Samsung ROMs contain the Touchwiz framework, they are incompatible.
[Galaxy S II General] nomadism:
Just noticed the tags...

...so why is hydrogen and slim ICS for noobs? Just asking out of curiosity.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Because someone thought it would be funny to put those in the tags.
[Galaxy S II General] RaPiiDe:
Thank you for the answer. It remains for me to ask the person who put the application on the market to add the full hour in settings.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Quick answer: CM9 is better than other AOSP and AOKP :) Everyone that tests AOKP and AOSP always prefer CM9.
[Galaxy S II General] ole12:
Been on AOKP ROM for a few days now,.can't really notice any difference on performance or stability.

So it is wrong to say AOKP is for noobs.

And the aroma installer it's very nice except the huge filesize.
[Galaxy S II General] NOWE:
Too late
[Galaxy S II General] jcasares:
Maybe someone can help with this...

Every time I upgrade with a new nightly I have to redo all associations. Like when I edit a contact and save it inside exDialer it ask me which application to use for viewing the edited contact (Contacs or exContacts) and when I click a link in Kaiten I get a request for which browser I should use. Like this with all the alternative applications I have.

Is there any configuration file I can backup so I don't lose all the associations and have to build them again each day?

Help really appreciated.
[Galaxy S II General] MistahBungle:
Don't bother with different modems. You won't get any result because modem has nothing to to with GPS, apart from possibly having an influence over downloading/not being able to download AGPS data if you're using the phone's data connection to get same; simple solution = use WiFi to get the initial ephemeris data.

I'm surprised that people in this thread have advised other people who have GPS issues to try different modems over the past few days.

It won't help.
[Galaxy S II General] fjkum:
I have problem enable the slide lockscreen that comes with latest CM9 nightly...used to work before.what is wrong?
[Galaxy S II General] natzy85:
Last night I closed all running apps before going 2 sleep with wifi on and battery level at 44%. Guess what? When I woke up after 6 hours I had no battery drain. This is amazing due to the fact that finally wifi managed to turn off by himself when asleep. Really impressed with results!
[Galaxy S II General] Butter Smooth:
That you haven't used the search button :D
[Galaxy S II General] Dimand:
I though that some gps modules used data from the cell clock to help sync, but that probably changed when 3g became more common. I figured it wasn't a modem problem when old modems it use to work on didn't work.

Is there some way to get a log of what the gps is specifically trying to do or if the phone is even talking to it. I don't even get the gps symbol in the top left indicating it is trying to do anything.

I may load up the Samsung rom and see if I can get it working on that.
[Galaxy S II General] Major_Sarcasm:
I'm fairly sure that if you've no GPS icon in the notification bar, then your phone isn't even accessing its GPS hardware.
[Galaxy S II General] DrunkFuX666:
Guys i have a serious problem... have tried searching for this byt no answer...

i was on 29/05 build and i downloaded the 31/05 and the lockscreen fix kernel codeworkx posted... now went to recovery made a backup as usual , cleared cache and then installed the update... which all went smooth... then when i tried to install the kernel it started giving me a error after opening the package and starting... and after that the power button stopped responding... did a hard reset into the recovery menu and tried to install the kernel again... it gave the same error... this time the power button didnt go dead so just restarted the phone... it restarted fine... but the wifi stopped working and the power button wasnt responding... as in would have to hold it for a very long time then the power menu would come up...

tried to restart again... and same thing... but after the restart the power button has gone completely dead... its not working at all... even to power on the phone or turn it off... since i had done a battery pull, when i stick the battery in it does power on... i can get to recovery by holding vol up + home when sticking the battery in... but the power button doesnt work so cant select anything... even to try to restore a backup...

any ideas or any advice...??????
[Galaxy S II General] buffon95:
guys, do you have bugs with screen sensor in 2-3 sec after unlocking? if you move your finger slowly at that time, your touch on screen will rebound in start position. you should move your touch very fast for clicking a shortouts ... i i cant describe it) just try to unlock you phone and move your finger around and you will understand.
[Galaxy S II General] Gregmarti:
I can't download CM9 from ROM manager since a few days... anyone with same issue?
[Galaxy S II General] clifffhanger:
Possibly the kernel download didn't finish. Try opening the zip file on your pc and see if you will get errors. If not, just flash the latest nightly, you won't need the kernel posted in the OP as per my experience.
[Galaxy S II General] natzy85:
How much time does it need to be fully charged? I think that the stock fw does charge it faster. I kept mine for 1h30 and it's still not fully charged.
[Galaxy S II General] chrismalla:
Click HERE to download the latest version of Siyah kernel. Put the zip on your sdcard/internal storage. Go through an app, CWM for instance, and flash the zip from there. It will reboot automatically and flash it for you. Now, you can rebot into recovery mode and do whatever you want, Siyah has soft-buttons on screen. You don't have to use the power button.
[Galaxy S II General] DrunkFuX666:
thats the problem... the power button isnt working... cant flash anything via recovery... tho the phone itself IS working... but the power button is completely dead... hence cant choose anything in the recovery menu...

[Galaxy S II General] DrunkFuX666:
iv been trying to use the rom manager to flash but everytime i do so it says you must have clockworkMod recovery installed before continuing... i already have it installed... dont get what the issue is...

and your saying by installing Siyah recovery would that fix the power button itself... because if it does i dont really think i need to flash again since im already on build 31/05...??

Would be great if you can post a torrent for this as well...
[Galaxy S II General] rav4kar:

[Galaxy S II General] DrunkFuX666:
it takes more than 1.5 hours thats for sure... depending on if your using the phone at the same time as charging then obviously will take even more time to fully charge...
[Galaxy S II General] luexi:
Pls advise me too! For my case at I still have GPS icon shown when in map app but couldn't get it locked on. Does this mean at least my hardware is still working fine? I did compare Both s2 my friend(cm9 17/5) and mine(31/5) and once open map app open, he got locked within 10sec and mine still struck. I Did a factory reset back to 31/5 and still couldn't get it lock. kinda lost now. :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] unfugor:
i think you should maybe flash resurection edition from first post via odin, and do some md5 checks before flashing stuff
[Galaxy S II General] chrismalla:
I will not create a torrent this time, mainly because there are so many mirrors already out (I'm sure geko95gek will post another one too), and because not that many people are using/seeding the torrents. Also there will be another build out tomorrow morning(where I'm located)
[Galaxy S II General] MyLifeRocks10:
Download GPS Status app, open it and let it download gps data then open ur maps app.

If it doesn't work then find gps patch from this thread which has been posted many times.
[Galaxy S II General] DrunkFuX666:
thats what i was going for but the internet connection speed here is so crappy the file gets interrupted halfway and need to start over... there isnt a torrent i can find for it either that would allow resume...

how does one do these md5 checks...??
[Galaxy S II General] dchn2:
pls also check the GPS source is set to internel. (under setting, location services, GPS source).

[Galaxy S II General] natzy85:
in cm9 is there a better way to close running apps then going to manage apps and closing one by one? Are you guys swiping them off or using 3rd party app to close them all? I know I read somewhere that is not good to use another app to do this. What do you think?
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Hold down the home button and you will be able to swipe the running apps to close them.

Also, you can go into developers options in settings and enable kill app when holding the back button option.

[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Yes its not good for android to stop apps in "manage apps" tab, it will stop you from having you mail or receiving whatsapp messages if you stop them from their

Using stock long press home button task killer is the best way

EDIT: geko95gek beat me:p
[Galaxy S II General] dchn2:
i have come across this article some time ago. since the bottleneck of performance is at the CPU, it may not do much good to kill apps (unless it's keeping unnecessary wakelock). for that reason i rarely kill apps, and i don't notice any change in performance. it's just my opinion.

[Galaxy S II General] tr!ckst3r:
good

the version is working fine for me ............
[Galaxy S II General] natzy85:
What about don't keep activities option? Is it any good? I sometimes forget to kill an app and it will drain battery in the background so this option should do the trick.
[Galaxy S II General] dchn2:
that's what geko95gek suggested. since i haven't used that before i don't think i'm qualified to comment. for rogue app, i use betterbatterystats to hunt down the culprit and kill it in terminal.
[Galaxy S II General] DrunkFuX666:
ok so iv had the phone connected to the usb of the computer to make sure the battery doesnt die... and now it seems like the power button is working again... im not sure if there is any connection between the 2... but all i know is its working now... havnt tried to use wifi yet because have the siyah recovery zip downloading off edge hence dont want to interrupt it... when thats done will give it a try...

I doubt this is normal... the button was completely dead... and its working fine now... even to the slightest touch... does that happen...?? that it regenerates its files or something to make the button work again...?? im very confused... more worried this issue may happen again when im out without access to any pc or something...

I tried, but couldn't find the specific one. I used the keyword "lockscreen" in this thread.
[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
Anyway to filter calls? Like I want to see all missed calls together..
[Galaxy S II General] Butter Smooth:
Well, it ain't that hard to find, but it comes down to this: it is a known issue that kicked in a few builds ago and might possibly be related to the new wifi drivers. You can flash an older kernel (as seen in the OP) in order to get rid of the issue (until the issue gets fixed) and the Siyah kernel seems to do the trick as well.. Good luck!
[Galaxy S II General] FRLinux:
I get Problem connecting to tracker - <urlopen error unknown url>

Edit: bad download...
[Galaxy S II General] fjkum:
I think you understood me wrongly, and I apologize for it.what I mean is that my CM9 lockscreen is not working at all. I enable it but it's not activating it.so now I'm using back widgetlocker... I still prefer to use whatever stock with CM9 though.
[Galaxy S II General] FRLinux:
That is peculiar, I never had a lockscreen not working under cm9. I am guessing you did a clean install and thermo nuclear wipe?
[Galaxy S II General] fjkum:
When you say thermo nuclear wipe you mean wipe cache and dalvik cache?
[Galaxy S II General] NuclearBastard:
Well I've used the 0519 build till now, didn't know what you guys talked about when you referred to the lockscreen bug.

Just installed the 0601 build and whop - there it is...

So I guess the lockscreen bug still exists in the newest build.

Use the "kernel-cm-9-20120530-galaxys2-signed.zip" posted by Codeworkx on page 1.

Solves the lockscreen issue!
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Or he can use the latest SiyahKernel ICS dual-boot, solves the issue as well.
[Galaxy S II General] Grzegor84:
I got nasty wlan wakelocks when i turn on wifi on stock kernel even after clean install, but on Siyah everything is working all right, same my sgs 1 with cm9 is working fine, so im pretty sure its not router or apps fault.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Hmm... perhaps because the latest Siyah has the new S3 WiFi drivers. Could be wrong though...
[Galaxy S II General] Byakuya88:
what's the difference between siyah kernel and stock Cm9 kernel ???performance??fluidity??
[Galaxy S II General] lucasps:
I'm with a problem in relation to the charger.

I do not know if it have to do with the CM9, but I disconnect the charger and still the icon that is loading, I tried to restart the phone and remove the battery, but still the same. On BBS shows a wake lock referring to usb cable.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Yes... that, that, battery life and customizablity. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] chrismalla:
OhOh you're gonna get all CM people on your ass ;) I'm also dualbooting with Siyah. Will see the differences when CM9 is done...

Lol, it's ok... I have used a buttplug to keep the nasties out.

UMS transfer speed AGAIN

So, can anyone tell me why the UMS transfer speeds isn't in the Known Issues?

The only answer I ever get concerning low transfer speeds (<2Mbps) is "Use MTP".

Does anyone get normal transfer speeds? Is there a knows fix for this? Is there anyone working on finding out WHY (oh Lord why?!?!) is UMS so slow?

Hi all,

I don't know if anybody has this issue, but after a big month of pure joy I notice that my data connection goes off every time that my screen goes off, even if the 3G sign still blue and with the H/3G sign.

The only way I get back connection is to turn off the mobile data, wait a few seconds and then turn on again.

I've tried to change my modem but nothing happens...

Does someone knows how to fix this?

MMS Notification

Hi guys.. i've been reading a lot on these forums, though not saying much, since most people would have already said whatever i wanted to..

I'm running on the 30.5 build, and have been facing an interesting problem.. My SMS notifications seem to be very random.. for some messages i get them, for some i don't.. Its not about the contacts , since both happen to the same contacts.. However, whatsapp and gtalk deliver notifications normally. Any ideas as to why this might be happening??

Edit:

O, i've been running CM9 stock throughout.. never switched kernels etc.. Except that now i'm running on codeworkx's kernel with wifi drivers reverted.

So as a follow up to the power button which all a sudden stopped working after flashing with new rom and kernel, it started working by itself again for some odd reason...

Now again its starting to give some problems... sometimes it works... sometimes it doesnt... so im wondering is this a software issue or a hardware one... i dont get how the hardware can just go bad on a 6 month old phone... without any rough use or anything... so can this happen due to bad software...??
