Music playback issues on bluetooth headset

Hi everybody,

I'm a noob posting on XDA but not using CM9, I use it since february nighties and now my SGS2 it's updated to 20120507.

Since 20120502 nightly I´m having problems with DSP Manager & Equalizer using my bluetooth headset. Before this nightly I played my music with the stock music player and equalizing it with Equalizer, but since DSPManager is working on the rom (i´m asuming it works, I only use my bluetooth headset as I said), the music sounds horrible, none of the equilizer profiles seems to fix the problem, or even change the sound quality. It sounds like I´m listening to an old and louder radio with the worst speakers you can find.

After flashing and testing 6 diferents nigthies, I have to say that the problem is on the DSPManager, it only works with none bluetooth headsets, althought is a bluetooth configuration option on DSPManager.

I don´t know if this is a bug report, or just a simple issue with the rom sound config, but I will appreciate if someone can tell me a way to fix it or if developers could fix it in the next nighly.

Thanks.

Some details, I hope developers can find them usefull:

* I made a full reset/wipe on CWM before flashing every new nightly

* I´m not using any backup/restore app like Titanium or Nandroid

* Tested music playback on stock player and Google Play Music, having the same results.

* I´m not using any modified Kernel.

* Tested every possible config on DSPManager and on Equalizer (up-to-date app), but there is no improvement on music playback.

* I´m using a Nokia BH-214 bluetooth headset with Sony Ericsson headphones, headphones are almost new (they have only 6 months) and headset it´s a bit older (1 and a half year old), but my SGS2 it´s with me since december and I take care of it like it is my life (seriously, it don´t even had a drop yet).

is there a way to show unread sms/call/gmail on lockscreen shortcut???

I used ADW notifier on gingerbread, but in ICS doesnt work anymore

if we could put widgets on the shortcuts it could be managed using SMS UNREAD COUNT...

any ideas?

thanks in advance

Cannot use PIN with Slide screen

Hi,

Is there a way that I can use Slide Screen with short cuts of the application with PIN lock. I am not sure if this is separated intentionally or will this option be implemented in future.

So after sliding the lock to any of the application on slide screen, it should ask for pin to unlock the phone.

Right now I can use either slide or PIN...it does not give any option to add pin with Slide.

Regards

Gaurav

Wow, finally was able to build it from ubuntu. Where is the location once it is built though? Cant seem to find it.

Yup, he can go back to Stunner and the Note forums and enjoy hardbricking. (All of the Note leaks are dangerous as ****.) Stunner (and all other firmwares based on ICS leak kernels for the Note) is great at "stunning" your phone.

You guys got lucky - I9100 kernels and the I9100 update4 sources are the only safe kernels/kernel source for ICS on Exynos.

Obviously you didn't search very hard, since people whine about it every 3-4 pages.

RCU stalls are a problem in Samsung's ICS source, affects all kernels, I have a lead on a possible solution but it involves backporting huge chunks of mainline linux 3.1.

would up-porting of current samsung and community patches of 3.0.x to 3.1.x be easier or, at least, more future-proof?

I noticed somewhere on CM or hacksung site there is a plan to get everything on 3.3.x eventually...
[Galaxy S II General] eranda84:
is there way to get notification lights on new message/missed calls?
[Galaxy S II General] vladm7:
you need

kernel with BLN notification support

and app that enables/disables it. (like this one)

last, but not least: not be afraid of a wakelock

When I do a device search for contacts, ie not via the people app, but the google search one.

If a contact in the result is linked to gtalk the status icon (green/orange dot) filters through to all the contacts below that one in the resulting list.

So if the first contact is linked to gtalk all the contacts in the result has that contact's status icon.

But lets say the 3rd contact in the list is (the 1st one) linked to gtalk contact number 1 and 2 are fine (without the icon) but from 3 onward all the contacts have the icon weather they are gtalk contacts or not

Can anyone else confirm this?

EDIT: See screenshot, where the first contact is not a gtalk contact but the second one is and all subsequent contacts have the same status as the second one (although they are not even gtalk contacts)

@codeworkx: The build system seems kind of complex :eek:

Am I right that the following file has to be changed to get this fixed in general?

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_galaxys2/blob/ics/cm.mk

As I'm currently not able to build. It is unclear for me if this would have a side effect.

Is there a ''way'' to have call recorder option for the calls in the Cyano? (on other rom i had a button to record the calls...)

Plus i want to ask if its possible to silent the phone during calls or alarms just turning the device upside down (like on the original samsung firmwares...)

Thanks

Hey does anyone know what happened to the new ICS blue notification toggles that were listed in the Changelog for a two nightlies ago?

Now when have new icon images but in the old white. And the new mobile data toggle sucks. It looks like Sync or Media scan not mobile data.
[Galaxy S II General] foontas:
Real quick question:

I've been searching the forums for a while now, can't find my answer.

I want to check my modem to see if it is the same as what I had before I rooted and flashed CM9. It is good to know what I currently have before I start flashing modems.

If I'm correct, the CSC is what I need to look for.

I know that in my carrier branded ICS I could type into the dailer: *#1234# to bring up version details.

Currently, in CM9, I can't do that. "Connection problem or invalid MMI code"

I'm running 20120503.

My question is; how can I get the details I'm looking for in CM9?
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
They meant the line under the icons...

Oh and the data icon.. you're right.

Looks like something else. They should make an arrow up and next to it an arrow down. But hey... there are more important things.

Maybe because it's a nightly. This means that a build is generated every night (or at set time every day) regardless if there are changes or not. It is fun to see the people that say this new build is so much better than previous because of.....(insert relevant placebo statement here)......when in fact nothing changes.

Just look at the changelog, if you can get on it that is, I've not been able to look from any PC I've tried for days so just wait for people to post anything useful/interesting on here (doesn't happen much :p )

[Galaxy S II General] pieromobile:
Hi Blak24, I had the same problem. to fix it I installed CM9 by odin (only version I could find was in December 2012), then I installed the update from cwm. I finally installed the google app and its fix. I performed a reboot, and everything worked. during installation, I had to deal with kernel panics. after several attempts to download-mode, I managed to sort everything out.

I know what GB is... and I'm not lying. It was gingerbread themed. I've been running v10 all day without an issue. Try it yourself if you don't believe me. In theory the Gapps should work on any build of CM9, no matter what device.

There won't be until they get the kernel sources, and who knows when that will be.

OK, so i've done all this, i can see and play music from file explorer, but no matter how many times i try to clear data from music and google music and media manager and reboot, i can't get it to show up in music or google music app. I'm obviously doing something wrong, but i dont know what.

[Galaxy S II General] Gustopher:
Now that this ROM has been around for a little while I'm beginning to see a few bugs emerge in some of its users - thought it best to report them:

Lock Eye - eyes unable to look above the horizontal. Causes sufferers to miss the bleedin' obvious posted slightly further up the screen

Onanists Wrist - wrists go floppy when attempting upward scrolling. End result similar to Lock Eye

Assumptivitis - serious and largely psychological condition that leads sufferers to believe that the rest of a thread of 3000+ posts has been solely concerned with discussions about the weather, the parlous state of the global economy and the aesthetics of Japanese flower arranging, thereby clearly rendering their discovery of a 'bug' - after all of two minutes exhaustive testing - unique and valuable

Googlophobia - a morbid fear of learning something via reading, absorbing, thinking, or even just searching

Münchhausen's by Arrangement - a syndrome whereby victims harbour fond hopes that sufferers of Lock Eye, Onanists Wrist, Assumptivitis or Googlophobia will be savaged by tigers

Repetitive Strain Injury - small bump in the middle of the forehead caused by banging one's head against a brick wall in frustration at the multiple posting of almost identical questions or 'information'

When I scroll anything slowly and then stop with my thumb or finger still on the screen it appears to shake/vibrate very slightly until I let go.

Its been there in a few of the last builds but I haven't done a full wipe since the SD internal/external builds.

Just wondered if its known or anyone can repliacte it before I do?

Have seen videos of it on Youtube and couple of my close friends were using CM7 and said great things about the Rom. They have moved on to checkrom but I just feel CM9 look is more appealing. I hate the touchwiz UI...too iphony

Besides, have been told that CM mods improve on the battery usage as well.
[Galaxy S II General] gabx:
Agree with you on the 100 frequence with ICS, but you can still try SyiahKernel with 200 as min.
[Galaxy S II General] hIdd3N-:
To improve scrolling experience i set scrolling sensitivity to 30 instead of 50 and use voltage control to set cpu to "SIO" and "ondemand" without changing frequencies. gives me the smoothest feeling and is great on battery.

edit: stock kernel btw

---------- Post added at 10:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 AM ----------

that 100MHz drains more battery then 200MHz is not ics related. it's because of the cpu architecture. don't you think samsung engineers would have come up with this idea?

do yourself a favour and stick with stock kernel and not this "i have no idea what this does but i include it to my kernel anyway and dump it at the next release kernel". there a engineers that make a ton of money figuring out what a the best frequencies to run X cpu and Y gpu.

What do you mean by SIO?
[Galaxy S II General] rlorange:
Ok so a techie with amp meters gal lore actually checked this theory with physical measurements using many more frequency steps in the latest siyah build and his conclusion? Myth, 100mhz has no consumption penalty and a small 5% ish benefit. And in between steps like 300 400 600 etc offer measurable benefit. There is NO scaling penalty with most govsnors. Check siyah thread for more info.

Seems as if this is the only guy to actually test the long standing dogma/theory stating the opposite.

Edit: also supporting this is the sgs3 which runs 100mhz min and in-between steps and the CPU is basically the same as the sgs2 but this two more cores strapped on.

[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
Ah right. That makes sense. Looks like setcpu doesnt have that option. Thanks for clarifying.
[Galaxy S II General] hIdd3N-:
again you lack knowledge. sgs III cpu is NOT

it's manufactured in 32nm instead of 45nm which makes a hell of a difference in electronics. and you also lack the understanding of the voltage to frequency linkage. just so that you understand my point (yes i know it's a different architecture x86 != ARM). the new intel ivy bridge is basically the same as a sandy bridge in your logic, yet it's 22nm instead of 32nm and now has a max TDP of 77Watts -> 95W

Wakelocks, wakelocks everywhere.

Did you remove the battery for a couple minutes? Charge it to 100%, remove it for 2 or 3 min, then try again.

And get betterbattery stats to check what is in fact consuming your battery.
[Galaxy S II General] kwerdenker:
While you're right, that the chip is not fully comparable to our device, the argumentation about hardware differences doesn't take away the main point of rlorange's post about 100MHz saving battery.

rlorange was referring to this post by AndreiLux, who did some extensive tests with real measurement hardware. His conclusion: 100MHz does save battery in most conditions and that the author of the tests where this "100MHz is bad" story comes from probably had some errors in it.

P.S.: The thing about knowledge: everyone lacks in it ;)
