autobright

Cause the gps discussion i decited to flash over stock kernel latest siyah kernel. Boot into my stock second rom that still is on phone... same result, means no gps lock.

BUT, with latest siyah kernel and latest nightly i am running, autobright changes as fast as stock rom under CM. Thats great, can someone confirm this? So there must be some difference in stock kernel that CM can fix the slow autobright change on our S2. Would be great.
[Galaxy S II General] donkeyhitman:
Yikes!!! It was a known problem. The Nightly right after RC2 introduced CWM6 and many people had the same problem which you have described. Subsequent Nightlies have solved it but that ain't gonna help you b/c you're not just seeing things...your external SD has been wiped. Here's hoping that you have a backup in your PC.
[Galaxy S II General] elitewarrior:
Hey just a 2 quick questions. I am running 21st nightly with stock CM9 kernel and also my phone is the I9100M variant.

A while back a new WIFI driver was introduced and it caused the lockscreen to get stuck for a few seconds. The solution was to use an older CM9 kernel (this happened around the start of June). Does an older kernel still have to be used or was the issue fixed? Because I am still getting this issue.

Another issue I get is when I pull down the notifications to expand it, it's blank. I cant see any notifications or the toggles. This is extremely random and I cant reproduce it on purpose. Is this a known issue or is it one of those random issues that only a data wipe will fix?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
This is actually a known problem, it is caused by a bugged Hebrew dictionary. It's also the same problem that affects the Danish keyboard. There is a fix proposed: review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/19404/ But it hasn't yet been reviewed or merged.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
This was fixed a long time ago, if you are still experiencing it and you haven't done a full wipe lately you may need to do one to get rid of it, sometimes it seems to continue despite the fix if you only do dirty flashes.

The most common cause seems to be Better Battery Stats taking a long time to request Superuser permissions when you unplug, this almost always causes a blank notification panel, it seems to happen at other random times generally right after a wakeup from deep sleep but I don't think this has fully been explained since it's difficult to get a good log of the issue, if it happens to you try to grab a logcat for the devs.
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
Out of interest whilst we're all talking about gps, is the 'searching for gps' notification in the notification bar meant to animated? I'm sure on early nightlies that it was, but it hasn't been for a long time.

Is it animated on stock aosp does anyone know?
[Galaxy S II General] LenAsh:
Seems to be dependent on what's using it -GPS Status seems to animate it, Maps does not.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
I think so, it's animated on stock JB when it's searching for signal.
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
Interesting, neither of them animate it for me.

Thanks, I wasn't sure. It seems a very trivial thing to file a bug report for though, maybe if I find time to do a full wipe on RC2 to check I might post one.
[Galaxy S II General] elitewarrior:
Aw I was fearing the full wipe :(... Oh well. Might just get alot faster haha.

Ok I am pretty sure issue started around same time as I got BBS. As for the logcat, I tried, I really did. I had it on WIFI debug and I managed to get it in the log but I couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. Not that I understand the log lol but I compared to regular pull and was the same. Which was nothing.

Anyway thanks, this helps alot. The lockscreen delay was making me angry lol.
[Galaxy S II General] GFXi0N:
I'm having problems with wifi connection.

Sometimes it's like the interface gets messed up and I can't see any wifi network.

All goes back to normal of I restart or if I didable/enable the wi-fi....

Edit: wifi sleep policy.

Can one flash the ICS bootloader via Odin after CM9 is installed to restore the device serial number?
[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
The serial number remains the same, no matter what bootloader you have. If you want to get rid of the yellow triangle or reset the flash counter, use the app triangle away (that is, if you flash using Odin).
[Galaxy S II General] donalgodon:
For me, the serial number vanished. Flashing back to stock did not restore it. Only the ICS bootloader did it.

Do I really need the old bootloader?
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
No, but the serial number not being visible in the ROM is not a serious problem.

Gps not locking for me on cm9 rc2 fluxi, anyone else have this??
[Galaxy S II General] :
Go back a few pages/search
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
The past 10+ pages are pretty much dedicated to discussing this, please try searching and reading. Also, custom kernels = no support in this thread.
[Galaxy S II General] Syrellaris:
Alright question haha. What version of CM9 is the resurrection edition. I flashed it onto my phone after trying to add CM9 RC2 to it with the recovery(cwm) from CF-root kernel. it gave me the error of /emmc/Cm9 bla bla. Error 7. Now I got a perfectly working Ressurection edition on my phone trhough Odin.

However, if the RE is lower then CM9 RC2, can i simply update it using the recovery tool? Another thing is, how well does the app Triange Away work on CM9 Resurrection edition?
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
The dates for the resurrection packages are right beside the download links in the OP, that date corresponds to the nightly it was built from. Both are very old, significantly older than either RC.
[Galaxy S II General] Syrellaris:
aah alright, but I can just continue updating it using the RC package from Internal SD card and Recovery mode?

and what about Triangle away?
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Yup, once you're up and running on the RE version you can just boot into CWM and flash the RC zip from your sdcard, you can install and run triangle away at any point, but you might as well wait until you've flashed up to the RC in case it goes wrong and you have to use odin again.
[Galaxy S II General] Syrellaris:
Alright thank you :)
[Galaxy S II General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
I see, but at the same time I hope that in the future the default CM9 kernel can be modded. I realize some people like it loud or soft, but at the same time volume 1/7 should be representative of low volume and should match the average volume that other phones do. 7/7 can be loud as fvck if ppl want.

---------- Post added at 06:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------

well I did a full wipe last Sunday, and flashed the most recent nightly, and installed Shazam as my FIRST app. Sure I did flash CM9 and then Siyah, so I could suspect either of those.

The reason I asked people to do a fresh installation of Shazam is that once its setup, it just jumps into the app immediately. Having people load Shazam isn't really going to solve anything if it was working already.

I suspect that maybe a file or folder on the SDCARD is an issue. Doing a full wipe doesn't wipe the internal SD card.

Another possible solution is for me to use another Android device like my Nexus S where Shazam does work, and do a titanium backup of it and then throw it onto my SGS2. I just setup Shazam on my Nexus S yesterday and it worked beautifully. It was a fresh installation, so it can't be my wifi network blocking something.

Wiping my internal SD card is more of a pain in the butt.

For the record I did try Shazam free and Shazam Encore.

The other thing I can think of is perhaps Android ID being an issue? I dunno.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Could you just backup your SDCard to your computer, then wipe it at least to test the theory? if shazzam magically starts to work you could then copy things back slowly until you find the culprit.

This also happens to me and a friend that uses CM9 with this Whatsapp and Kaiten as well. Seems not to happen with Samsung ROM. What could it be?
[Galaxy S II General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
is gps horrible in the last few nightlies or something? I usually hate people who whine without substantial data, but in the past month GPS has been working great (I know it's not 100% according to Entropy), but it's pretty good.

Just this past few days I noticed I can't get very good GPS reception. I just used GPS Status next to my window for a solid 5 minutes before I got a lock.... Not sure what's going on

[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Please please please search the thread, I've been trying to explain the problem to people for about 30 pages now, I realize that most people are ignoring me and blaming the ROM, but at least read my explanations!
[Galaxy S II General] :
So annoying, right? Do something: don't do anything next time ;) We are just wasting our time.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Ok, I'll just do what everyone else does in this thread from now on :p
[Galaxy S II General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Well I did read what you said. If I read correctly, you're saying that the GPS has been a long standing issue in CM9.

What I'm trying to say is something has happened in the last few nightlies that has potential effects on GPS? I'm not sure if I'm 100% correct, but I'm not one to simply whine on this forum. I did conduct a few tests here and there.

When doing testing in June, after wiping AGPS states using GPS Status, I'd be able to cold lock in maybe 20 seconds or so.

Today it's taking a few minutes to lock. This is certainly slower than what I've noticed in the past.

I first recognized this problem today when I was trying to check in via Foursquare and venues seemed a bit far away.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
No, what I said is that there is a solar storm event in progress currently (Since roughly the 17th) that is causing additional radiation, magnetic and RF interference in the atmosphere and thus disrupting GPS service for some people, this seems to be a common issue over many different devices that have forums on XDA not just the SII and not just CM, some people are reporting slow locks or perfect locks, it seems to be somewhat random as things like interference tend to be, it should clear up in a few days.

It does seem that android devices are experiencing this to a larger degree than iOS devices, but that could just be that I have a smaller sample of iOS users to draw from.
[Galaxy S II General] iNeri:

From 7/21 nightly, I downloaded 7/22 nightly using ROM Manager,

and "BRICKED" my phone.

I checked:

Wipe Data and Cache

Wipe Dalvic Cache

Then, it installed the ROM,

but have encountered an infinite boot loop.

I tried to do a Volume Up + Home + Power,

but am stuck at Odin "Do not remove from target".

Can this still be fixed?
[Galaxy S II General] :
At least block some activity/service/receiver on ROM Toolbox. But the real solution is uninstalling most of the apps. I'm sure you don't use all 80, just like iPod touch users don't use all the 200+ games they have

Nothing makes sense... Volume up should bring you to recovery, so I assume you pressed Volume down button. Hold power button for some seconds, than enter recovery to wipe data.
[Galaxy S II General] DLAddict:
Is it possible to lose "recovery"?

Because I pressed Volume UP,

and it's stuck at the Odin "do not turn off..."

If I remove the battery, and turn it on,

it just loops the Samsung logo.

The best rom i've tried.thank you so much CM team.but i don't like the toggle style of CM rom.if it like AOKP style so....nothing to say :D
[Galaxy S II General] war10ckUM:
ughhh cm9...

I really like you, but you are sometimes soo unstable :/

hint: time

anyway, reporting it right now + reporting also that my speakerphone sometimes doesn't work

yeye, wipe it, flash it, tried, same problems
[Galaxy S II General] :
Dude, no one here wants to play "where's the bug", just say, config time and show time are not the same. Just tap automatic date&time. If it doesn't fix, it's time for a full wipe.

And hey, how dare you complain about CM9 being soooooo unstable just because both times are not the same? Or because speakerphone sometimes fails? I really think it's time to a full wipe, maybe you screwed something out there
[Galaxy S II General] R3Map:
Dude, how can you say SOOOO UNSTABLE???? What planet are you on? Yes there are a few issues that some experience but it is definitely NOT SOOOOO UNSTABLE. CM Dev team have worked some serious magic here!!

Do a FULL wipe and flash from scratch!
[Galaxy S II General] war10ckUM:
Well if you ask, I'm from planet earth and if you read carefully you would know I already did everything from the scratch.

I do respect devs and I admire them,cm is great and all superlatives but cm9 in its current state is unstable and sometimes unusable (read to the end). Idk about you but tachy touch sensitivity (stock kernel, I'm guessing common users will use stock?), speakerphone not willing to cooperate, wonky gps and a lot of tiny bug are making it pain to use.

Ok i know I said a lot of things that have common answer, flash it from the scratch but that's not what my mum would do :) and so it's making it pain to use for those how don't like to flash and change everything daily...

Speaking of which try to use it for 50-60 hours straight or more, no restart and I assure you, you will enter twilight zone! :D

Now i know it's impossible to understand xda member would do such a travesty of keeping phone on for such a long time but his gf would.. And fyi there nothing worse than gf with buggy rom on her phone, and so I revert it back to stock, for my sake :D

TL;DR cm is buggy but great but buggy and we all love to report bugs and living in the twilight zone.

Now flame me, my body is ready
[Galaxy S II General] Honzze:
Yes, no problem. I'm using ape map.
[Galaxy S II General] Testraindrop:
Ok flame on:

I don't know what you are doing, but 50-60 hours are like 3 days without a restart, thats very low, I ussually only restart when I flash a new nightly every 2 weeks... Damn I'm in twilight zone:eek:

btw. GPS is working here again...
[Galaxy S II General] Honzze:
Yes, correct. The sensor HAL made problems with the COMPASS - I thought that's the same sensor branch than GPS. I'll try it again, as soon as I'm hiking. In the mean time I've switched NTP servers to European ones, had US before.

Autobrightness changes as fast as sammy rom when i flash latest siyah or fluxi kernel. Is this known and will be fixed for stock kernel too?
[Galaxy S II General] benson621:
i am having GPS problem too, but in my case, it is not about locking the GPS signals.

the problem is that, i cannot have GPS signals when i turn off the screen, that means i cannot record my GPS track with my screen off, so i have to turn the screen on in the whole journey and waste many battery.

in the time when i turn on the screen, the GPS signals are completely normal and the My Tracks recording is perfectly working.

Just do not know why My Tracks recording is not working when i turn off the screen.

Any help?? Thank You
[Galaxy S II General] CRXed:
Try to use Google Maps and see if GPS is also lost when turning the screen off.

For me, GPS stays on.

So you should contact the maker of the My Tracks app

---------- Post added at 11:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 AM ----------

WAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHA 60 hours? :laugh: Man, my phone is on for weeks, I only restart it to flash a new ROM and no, I do not flash every nightly. I am on RC2 now and it is great!

Yes, sometimes the time in the notification bar does not reflect the actual time, it's a known bug, but it does not make the phone unusable (it doesn't affect any alarms or anything, they stll go off at the right time)

Overnight, I only lose about 2% battery in 8hours, I can use my phone for 2 days without charging (5 hours screentime), GPS works great, speakerphone has no problems, I don't know what you are talking about.

CM9 buggy? I think not! :good:
[Galaxy S II General] benson621:
should not be My Tracks problem, because I use GPS Status for checking the GPS signals when I turn off and on the screen, once the screen is turned on, there is no signal GPS signal, then seconds later, the GPS signals are detected one by one. then back to normal
[Galaxy S II General] CRXed:
:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

You do know that this is a CM9 thread and that everybody in here is using it, right?

The fact that you can't get it is either your problem, or you are using a different phone......

---------- Post added at 11:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 AM ----------

Ok, then maybe it is time to do a fresh start, wipe everything and flash again. Because my GPS is always on with screen off.
[Galaxy S II General] war10ckUM:
:D

Hm, well I flash every 3,4th nighty, depending on change log, but I also use it without any case and in my case it's pretty sensitive to bumps..

Now about twilight zone, on few occasions when I got it to 60+ hours search, phone app and browser started crashing aps fcing, status bar disappearing, that clock thing happened yesterday (20 hours in)...

That was most recently on 14.07.nightly, now I'm on 20.7 and 30+ hours in, hopefully I'm near twilight zone so I can document it this time for research purposes :D
[Galaxy S II General] benson621:
oh, i really do not want to do it, it takes me a whole day to wipe and restore all the files.

is there any possible option that i have selected that makes this happen?

or is there any patch can fix this?

[Galaxy S II General] aramil:
Why would you need to.... its a developer option designed to stop crashed apps. Using it to force close apps is bad for your apps data and can cause all sorts of odd phone / data issues.

If you are regularly force closing apps and you then have phone issues please then Don't come back blaming CM roms. This is NOT what it is for.
[Galaxy S II General] Imperiale:
No support for siyah kernel here. On stock it works fine (nightly from early July, though).
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
Not sure it's a 'known bug' certainly no-ones bothered posting it on the bug tracker with a logcat. (I've never seen this problem myself so can't post a report).

Problems are much more likely to be fixed if posted on the tracker than if mentioned in this thread, clearly no developers want to have to wade through the mass of posts on this thread

There's a siyah discussion thread and there was also one for CM9 and siyah so you should've really posted this there.

Have a look for /notification instead of /backlightnotification or alternatively it should also be in sys/class/misc/notification/led_timeout. Different kernels use different paths.
