For anyone wondering about battery drain and AOS bugs etc, i wouldnt believe everything you read.

I9100

2000mah oem battery

My results.
[Galaxy S II General] :
The AOS usage is misleading for sure.

My battery life has been very good, excellent with the Jan 2 build, significantly less kernel wake locks, which may have been misleading as well.

30% on GB and the world is ending, ICS not so much.
[Galaxy S II General] mintvilla:
ive actually found battery life to be better than GB with normal useage, and worse than GB when heavy using the phone (like playing games)
[Galaxy S II General] ciccio83q:
Hello,

I've noticed that too. Try to switch to English language, check 24hours format and get back to Italian (hopefully).

I don't know why, if I check it in italian, it stills unchecked in English.

Anyway, good luck with it.

Also,

it could be a permission's error.

Try to fix permissions from recovery.

I suppose you've installed the battery mod, if that's the case, there's is a v3 what fixes that problem

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] n.pikota:
hello. Let me ask you do not have a lot to do with the matter. But I have never seen anyone talk about it I'll do it. When the phone is locked if you press the power button to turn off the menu appears. Ja is a mistake that comes from the galaxy's origin, which sometimes turns off the phone in your pocket. Anyone know a solution for this? Or would it be possible to fix this team CyanogenMod 9?

Swype - Battery and Data usage off the map!

I installed this ROM and without much usage realised I ran out of date allowance (500mb) - I was halfway through the month so ordered an extra 500mb thinking I had just downloaded too much. No big deal, a fiver extra... 4 days later and 500mb is gone again. Yikes! I definitely haven't used enough of anything to warrent that so I checked my stats and Swype has apparently used 370mb of 'background data' (haxsync is responsible for 100 mb apparently)

The battery stats in settings aren't much help as to why my battery was rubbish, saying 80% Android OS and not really helping me figure out why I couldn't get more than 4 hours of almost no use at all out of my phone when others had no problems. Step forward Android assistant to show me that Swype is using 60% of my battery.

What the hell is going on? Why is Swype killing my battery and data? It seems mad?

Any help resolving this would be appreciated. I uninstalled Swype but I miss it greatly.

Thanks

Actually scratch that, I can't uninstall Swype because I can't figure out how to!
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
It's just on the previous pages that others have mentioned the same issue. :)
[Galaxy S II General] barrist:
Um, Manage Apps -> Uninstall Apps.

It shouldn't be a system app if you are using this ROM, as I'm pretty sure it didn't come with Swype.
[Galaxy S II General] Laggalot:
In the latest build bluetooth headphones are isconnectingwhen i turn my screen off. In the build before the useless build everything worked well. I tryed many different players and they stop play after 10 seconds when i turn the screen off. Because the phone losts the connection to my bluetooth headphones! Anyone with a solution or a kernel or something what helps me. Thx

Edit: i did a fullwipe twice

The new kernel could be the problem.
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
even with the data issues this is still the best ICS rom out there. It is very fast and pretty much everything works. Text is also incredibly sharp for some reason.
[Galaxy S II General] barrist:
Go back to the older build
[Galaxy S II General] michaeldcoates:
Yep, realised that as soon as I type the reply and hit enter. It's gone now. I remember trying to download the UK dictionary for it and it's been trying to download that the whole time. That must be what drained my data and why the battery was constantly being juiced. Can't think of any other reason for Swype to taking any data at all.

Hi, I tried with search function with no result..

I'm on 3.0.27 kernel and nightly 0404 but I had this issue since few old builds...

My problem is that when I try to update my apps via Play Store, I see only 42 apps instead of ~80 and so I can't update all of them..I had this since last builds and also with 3.0.26 or .25 kernel..

what I tried:

-Wipe cache & dalvik

-Deleted store data

-Market doctor from Titanium Backup Pro

I noticed that I had this issue since I start to change my DPI, but when I restore 240 and reboot my phone the problem is still here..Anyone can help me to understand what's happened and why? Thank you..
[Galaxy S II General] alexeiw123:
Calender sync works fine, if you're having issues, flash latest Gapps followed by Gapps fixer

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] cytherean:
I found that if you keep your DPI set to 240 and clean data (Market) and then re-log in the apps eventually show up. Also, I know there is a modified Market (Play Store) floating around that apparently works with all DPI.

After that I revert my DPI back.
[Galaxy S II General] wipian:
No need to be using a modded market.

(I used to until I found the following way...)

Create a file in /data called "local.prop" without the quotes.

In this file, type the following:

ro.sf.lcd_density=160

qemu.sf.lcd_density=160

As an example, this is for 160DPI

Reboot and enjoy never having to fiddle with the market again ;)

sorry if this has been asked earlier but i've just notice that media volume is disabled ...i cant toggle it... fyi im on 0404 build with 3.0.27 kernel.... is this normal?

If you're struggling to mod the Play Store, use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.birdapi.android.dpipro

Automates it for you, really handy if you've got a modded DPI.
[Galaxy S II General] NoCommentMan:
Google play showed about 16 out of 80 apps after one of the many flashing I've done. I just waited because in my view it could only be a server issue. And in fact, after about an hour, I Google play showed all my apps again. Give it some time.

bug on 0404, home button does not work at all. Flashed the build, then gps patch then red horizon theme. reflashed all that and am now flashing just the build to determine where the problem is. anyone else get this?

Edit: reflashed JUST the build and problem persists. Considering whether to flash 0402 or titanium backup and wipe...

I red about it few days ago but I was suspicous...but It works great..no more need Dpi Changer Utility or others apps...so I will have this DPI setting also after new flash of nightly?

and it works also with stock roms?
[Galaxy S II General] wipian:
I stopped using an app to mod the density after I tried this. It's been working perfectly since.

Yes, it will stick after a flash as it's in the /data directory.

Couldn't tell you if it works with stock roms as I haven't tried but I see no reason why not.

No UMS nor MTP

Hi, first of all thanks for the great work, CM9 is now running for 4 days on my SGS2 without much hassle...

The only real problem i run into is that whatever i use (UMS or MTP) my linux machine (gentoo) is not able to "enumerate the USB device" whenever i plug it in.

So the SD-Card is not mounted (UMS) as well as there is no MTP device detected (mtp-detect)... does anybody else has these issues?

The only way that worked so far is using ADB directly, but i am used to sync phone/computer data using rsync, so this has no future!

I've installed the last ROM and is simply amazing! After trying almost every Samsung ICS ROM, I decided to install CM9 and I must say I love pure Google experience!

The only thing that disappoints me is the fact that there is sometimes a lag when I open the drawer.

But the curious thing is that it doesn't happen everytime I open the drawer, but it happens occasionally.

I hope this is due to the fact that this is still a nightly ROM :)

Trying to get UMS working here.

At first when I connected USB cable to PC, I didn't get any MTP or UMS prompts. Nothing in My Computer.

After running:

adb root

adb shell setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage

I see two new drives in My Computer, and I get the prompt on the phone "USB Connected" and "Turn On USB Storage", but my phone goes into a soft reset (get the CM booting logo) every 10 seconds or so.

When I press Turn On USB Storage, I see the loading circle, but the phone goes into soft reset after a few more seconds.

I'll try to get logcat of this.

In case it's useful to anyone, I know battery usage is extremely individual, but upgrading to the 20120404 build has made a big difference. It's now 3.15pm and having taken my phone off the charger at around 9am, I'm still at 71% after normal use.

Since initially installing CM9 nightlies about a week ago my battery had barely made it to the end of the day.

Again - Might not be the case for you as I know this varies depending on apps and so on. Just FYI.

Great work by the devs. Much appreciated.
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
what is with so many CM9 releases today?
[Galaxy S II General] c3l5o:
I'm gonna take a look at this. I would hope the developers would use DNG, since it's an open source RAW format (despite being developed by Adobe, AFAIK).

This would be welcome, not for every shot of course, but it would be great to squeeze a little bit more quality for those times I leave the dslr @ home.

[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
Yeah, although it could be a garbage-in-garbage-out issue.

However it'll be interesting to see - is the crap quality of our pictures the sensor, or does the FIMC engine have a role too?

Of course to properly test this means figuring out the raw sensor format and patching ufraw to understand it...

I shoot RAW at all times with my Pentax K-5. It's the only way to shoot photos. :)

Yeah. I may help him if/when I have time...

Now that the Samsung-source-based kernel seems stable I'm going to start adding some of the typical features - I've got voltage control in testing, Mali GPU 3-step clock control is probably next. Not until after this weekend though - family is coming to visit.

Other kernels

I've tested Syiak Kernel yesterday and i had a bad impression.

CWM it's better, with a nice design, but all the other things looks worse then kernel coming in CM9 nightly.

Perhaps its just my impression.

I'm back to the original, and its close to perfection.

One thing that ocurrs its when i received another call during a call return a message that was unable to perform the action. I'm not sure if right in the moment the other call was desconected or this is not posible in CM9.

Anyway great work.

[Galaxy S II General] Westie69:
might seem a simple question but when using this method below to move onto the next nightly

Upgrading from earlier version of CyanogenMod 9:

- Copy CM9 ZIP to your internal SDCard

- Boot into Recovery

- Flash CM9 zip

- Wipe cache partition and dalvik-cache

- Reboot

how do people automate the reinstall of all there apps as it states dont use titanium pro?
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Nope

Not now
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
That's a server admin setting. You can turn it off or change the number. If you don't want these policies in effect on your private phone then don't use it on my work network :D

Wiping cache doesn't wipe /data so your apps don't change.
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
What?

You can use titanium backup pro to restore apps but not its data

When you come from different rom then full wipe/factory reset but when you are already on cm9 then updating builds doesn't need a factory reset/full wipe
[Galaxy S II General] AcmE85:
No issues with restoring apps + data here.
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
Just a thought. Around when do we think CM will ready to call this a RC from a nightly? roughly how long? those who were on other phones for CM roughly appx how long did it take us?
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
I know but its not recommended(as it can cause instability by restoring data for some apps) as a reason its written in op that don't use titanium backup

I think when some real cm features will be added like some of its settings and tweaks
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
No way to tell. If they can't figure out stuff then it doesn't go to RC. So it all depends on how fast stuff can get fixed. There is no timeline for that unless you are doing it yourself.

Really? That would make you feel better ? Im using CM9 nightlys, testing build after build, and right now i couldn't care less for it turning into RC. Its working flawlessly as it is.
