See only 2 GPS is normal.

I've done a search about "2 GPS" in this thread to show you this question has been asked many times and I've just seen you've asked the same thing one week ago and someone already give you a reply...

[Galaxy S II General] thejonesyboy:
Yeah mate, we all get the same problem there with GPS Status and GPS Test. It's a CM9 issue, but the GPS does still actually work. Have you tried getting a lock in Google Maps?

Turn off 'Google's location service' and turn on 'GPS satellites' in Settings -> Location services. Go outside and try getting a lock in Google maps. It works fine for me in RunKeeper too. The latest build works for me and I've not needed to apply any mods to get it working.

Turn 'Google's location service' back on for your normal usage, it does get you faster mobile network tower locks which are sometimes quite accurate.
[Galaxy S II General] rnksarda:
learn to have a little patience and first search on the thread , the gps issue has been solved over 50 times
[Galaxy S II General] kcdcmd:
I've gotten the same problem again after flashing the 04/03gapps and wiping cache and dalvik. This is annoying :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] assaf.bm:
what is it with these type of answers. I know the GPS was discussed many times but it was also said that the build has the fix patched already, so excuse me for asking it again.

But thanks for your great help.

Oh so the GPS satellite number reporting issue has been fixed has it? Please let us know where this is mentioned 50 times.

Thanks for your helpful reply.
[Galaxy S II General] kcdcmd:
And the problem has now magically resolved itself, baseband, IMEI and all with no intervention on my part.
[Galaxy S II General] assaf.bm:
so I guess I am not the only one.
[Galaxy S II General] mynameisjon:
It's a cosmetic bug caused by incorrect reporting. It has been mentioned MORE than 50 times that it has absolutely no effect on getting a fix in apps that use GPS. The flashable patch has also been reposted many times for those who find getting a GPS lock in apps take too long.
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
Don't you dare ask where the patch is btw. Use the search and search for "gps patch". It's obviously even faster than typing a reply to ask where it is. If you don't find it via search, it was posted 10-15 pages ago.

Dumb question:

Why 4.0.3 still? I heard Google have released 4.0.4 and 4.0.5? These not available?
[Galaxy S II General] alexeiw123:
as soon as they release the source code to aosp it will be incorporated. Google must still be working on some things.
[Galaxy S II General] wizzbang3:
This is dependant upon Samsung releasing the official 4.0 over the next couple of weeks, right?
[Galaxy S II General] espenfjo:
Yes and no.

The release of 4.0.4 or 4.0.whatever from Google has nothing to do with Samsung release of things.

The incorporation of 4.0.whatever in CM9 for SGS2 should be pretty straight forward, unless there are changes to ABIs that hook into the binary modules CM9 uses from the leaked Samsung ROMs (not just kernel).
[Galaxy S II General] melorib:
Does UOT kitchen work with CM9, how :confused:

Are there any battery % mods with large numbers that work with the last nightly :confused:

Hi codeworkx,

Thank you for a great rom. I have a question is there a way to show the lock screen before the secure unlock (pattern or face unlock)? Its available with bezke's AOKP rom. Can we have that on CM9, is it something we can enable? Maybe it will implemented later on. Thanks for any answers.

@codeworkx

Just a thought, to save at least some irritations, maybe a definition of what a real bug is in the OP might be a good idea. As your aware, more and more people confuse a bug, with a feature that isn't implemented fully yet for whatever reason

Eg 'oh Nos, I founds a bugs! Bln isn't workings!'
[Galaxy S II General] KSTu:
well,there is,look here: http://teamhacksung.org/wiki/index.php/CyanogenMod9:GT-I9100:Nightly:Known_issues

bln will not work until samsung will release the sources,so stay chill or flash another rom with BLN support!
[Galaxy S II General] AshleyTayles:
Oh wow, I did not realise that the video was fixed, thanks for the good work guys, that was a nice surprise when I was stuck on the bus and opened YouTube.

Did samsung release some codecs or something? I'm genuinely interested in how this issue was solved :)
[Galaxy S II General] espenfjo:
People are not reading the OP anyways..
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
True but at least when someone says read the op. It will become apparent.
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
Bln. Was an example of some confusing between bugs and not finished features. A bug definition would apply to all stupid queries.

What's more people seem to scared of pushing a link. If then info isn't there hitting them in the face thy don't look further.
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
BUG = Software error

Missing feature = missing feature

[Galaxy S II General] sadonlyone:
nice to see this helpful attitude from master codeworkx again. sometimes, you must give us more clemency and you should have in mind that most of us don't have a clue about what we talking about. but we trying though :)
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
Yeah, I get what a bug is. What I'm saying is that all time people say they find bugs, but what they are actually referring to is a missing feature. People may search the thread, but it shows nothing because all that stuff is in links which people don't click EVER.

My point Is that people want things spoon fed as already mentioned. For over a thousand posts we have tried to change the behaviour of a noob which clearly isn't working. If a clear but simple definition was put in the op and not on a link I think it would save us and more importantly you. The ball ache of explaining it every time.

It is clear that the info needs to be a as obvious as a kick in the balls for people to read it otherwise they report missing features which are really obvious.

We can't change a noob because there are new ones joining the thread everyday. What can change is how obvious the info is in the op. The OP is clear, if you get the rules and have an education past primary school. Unfortunately, it would appear most noobs that post are still in kindergarten.
[Galaxy S II General] fabrou:
A missing feature may be due to a BUG such as a wrong test (which returns false in any case when a query occurs for running a "missing" feature). So please, you may avoid using such shortcuts.

I guess that being so rude (which can be immediately translated as a self importance) with people who also take time to test your work will just prevent a large part of them to send you "bugs" or "missing features" (if you prefere) reports with a direct consequence of slowing down the development.

Remember that at some point if you really want to release a stable rom you will just NEED the help of these guys.

In my side, I stopped trying CM9, not because it is not stable, just because it seems to be unusefull to spend time to try to help in regards to your comments.

Best Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
Don't create a problem where no problem is.

We don't accept bug reports on nightly builds

We don't accept feature requests at the moment.

Problem solved.

If a noobs asks a dumb question or complains about missing features, simply DON'T ANSWER. He'll stop asking if no one pays attention on him. ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] PunkOz:
+1 Im using CM9 at the moment but I try not to comment or report bug so I don't get flamed :P I'm sure someone else has reported already the bugs that I want to report plus I dont have any error besides the known issues I hope I don't get flamed for posting this D:

+1 for the post above from codeworkx, Ignore is the best way since you can't answer everyone all day c:

Question.. Anyone knows if the sources will be out when ICS is released by Samsung israel? Or that'll be only the ROM ..
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
Like net.silb did? They just start hitting he dev thread dude. Your aware of this. There obviously is a problem. Otherwise there wouldnt be so much bull in this thread but whatever, the one who seems to get the most irritated is you. So I'll just ignore t, and let you deal with it in the dev thread. Problem solved, for me at least.
[Galaxy S II General] fabrou:
Waren't you yourself a noobs asking dumb questions some times ago ? Obviously yes. So just remember that forums are also made for helping noobs which requires to answer to "dumb" questions.

This sub thread is in the "general" thread of the forum, not in the "development" thread ... so one can guess that noobs are welcome.
[Galaxy S II General] xavihernandez:
@fabrou

As far as I'm concerned, at this point of development CM9 is really stable. No (showy) bug for me. Just waiting on Samsung to release sources.
[Galaxy S II General] alexeiw123:
Just going to reiterate this, it would stop 90% of open thread and post immediately people. All it needs is a site admin to make it happen.
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
This is a forum for developers to share experiences and help other developers.

This forum is not meant be be used as a support forum for noobs.

The XDA team doesn't punish users as long as they don't start to annoy devs or ask dumb questions over and over again.
[Galaxy S II General] chareos12:
I was searching the thread for "daily usage" and I got interested about this post.

It'd be the same to me, if not for that scary Media scanner known issue.

I'd kindly ask if it shows frequently, for every user, of if it's a sort of exotic issue reported by a few users.

A stable, smooth ICS ROM is a desire I have since a lot of time now, I'd really like to jump from Gingerbread - and I'd do if this issue is not crucial/sure to happen.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] fabrou:
Nevertheless, your definition of bug vs missing feature is completely unclear (I would say completely wrong) even if it comes from "wikipedia". Also using such a (wrong) argument to be insultant against noobs is not more valuable than a "dumb" question/query.

About the noobs, there is a big difference between not responding (which is your right and which could be a good idea, I have no opinion) and being insultant. With your remarks, you also prevent other guys to answer to them ... just because they wouldn't be considered as noobs themselfs.

Note that you take more time to be injurious than to answer to them ... which contradicts the argument of wasting time.

As you can notice, I never ask for features, I never ask for anything in general (less than 10 posts in 2 years), so I am comfortable, being myself an experienced developper, in pointing you these things.

To close the discussion, I must precise that I appreciate your work.
[Galaxy S II General] Net.silb:
I think you're confused, this is the User Discussion Thread in which "noobs" are allowed to say what they want.

On the other hand there is the development thread which is meant for developers.

You said that you don't even look at this thread even though every 1.5 pages you post a rude post!

I know you were referring to XDA but developing stuff doesn't help anyone if users can't have support for it even if it is from one another.

If you don't want to seriously help in this user thread then don't read it, we users will help one another.

If you saw the last 10 pages they are mostly about how codeworkx is rude and etc.
[Galaxy S II General] :
you are forgetting one thing. members here also do get annoyed with "noobs" asking the same crap now over and over again. and you can discuss about any kinda questions you want as regarding cm9 but not questions to the point you can not solve yourself because if you throw a stupid post here if it aint from codeworkx you going to get a answer i am sure not one but ten will give you back a reply you probably would not want to read..Not talking about you mate but talking in general....So yeah development issues really are meant to be in the dev thread and here should be general discussion. But lets not take it to noob level discussion;) That is when 99% of the members will actually unsubscribe for real

Defects (Bugs) = Requirements (Feature Requests)?

- Open source projects have inspired this approach and way of thinking

- Programmers do not enjoy writing documents

- Programmers are however used to working with Defect tracking tools (for example, Bugzilla)

- We can use Defect tracking tools for Requirement capture and discussions

- Treat each requirement as a defect, and use the tool

- Very common in Open source projects, and works well in a loosely co-ordinated environment

- Not easy to roll-out in a large corporate environment however, due to cultural/social/political reasons

This was copied from yesterdays lecture notes for my university 3rd year Advanced Programming unit. I hope it offers some clarity to the bug/feature request questions.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
He meant the forum. It's called xda developers for a reason. You might have missed that.

Anyways, are you guys (not only you) retarded? Can't you stop with the childish fights already? Neither of you is right, there is no right. Let's just keep things peaceful and leave our ego behind for a second.

Yes, I also get really angry when I see noobs, but creating 10 other offtopic posts about them won't change anything because others will come. Ban them, remove their posts, or just guide them in the right direction.

I am aware of the fact that this thread is rubbish. 10% of it is good info, the rest (even this post) is useless bullcrap. But if you set limits, the whole point of the "discussion" is gone, it won't be a discussion. It's just that some people (kids) don't have a common sense, are too lazy or stupid, and that's the world we live in.
[Galaxy S II General] :
lol dude not starting anything specially with you as your replies are always lethal and i do not want to be on the end of one...anyway as a closing note over the last few nightlies which one you recommend? and the last one by Codeworkx the experimental one is there a huge difference? cheers dude
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
Heh, sorry. Didn't want to offend anyone, I'm just annoyed when things can be done so much better in a better atmosphere, but instead we have a cesspool.

About your question: I'm also using codeworkx's latest unofficial build, I haven't flashed any nightlies, because I haven't seen any major changes. I don't know about the changes in 6th and 7th, because there is nothing updated / built, and I haven't checked the git repos. On the other hand, this unofficial build works nicely for me. Video decoding is quite okay, battery is smooth 2 days with my usage, no bugs, and everything as I want it. I'll flash when I see either an important change, or lots of minor ones... like every 3-4 days.
[Galaxy S II General] :
nice one mate thanks for your reply. i will wait probs till the weekend and will jump back to cm9 again and see how things are. many thanks again.:)
[Galaxy S II General] espenfjo:
The last nightly contains everything that codeworkx' last build.

Last nightly is recommended.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
Oh, I thought you're on CM9 already. If not, then go for the latest nightly. Maybe wait for a new one, hopefully we'll get more fixes.
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
Sorry guys, all this crap started because I suggested putting a brief/general definition of what a bug is, and what a missing feature is in the OP in an attempt to stop people posting requests masquerading as bug reports which irritates a lot of people

Needless to say it was met with hostility by codeworkx.

Still think it would be beneficial because people are incapable of looking at links, and search function isn't the best.

Anyway, obviously a non starter for reasons beyond me.

But whatever, the people who get most annoyed by it are the devs and if they don't want it in here, that's their prerogative.

[Galaxy S II General] Molitro:
I'm surprised with the high functionality of CM9 as is now. I'm literally only missing the video recording, and I'm definitely keeping it unless i get very surprised with samsung roms + theme.

It's the first time I don't miss anything of importance.

On that matter (a thing I miss but not important), this is not a bug, bad functionality or whatever... It's just something that AOSP lacks and samsung roms have, and I'm just asking cause I guess this is the best place to get an answer, if there is even one.

It's regarding the BT protocols and the connection to my car's radio. Everything regarding the audio itself works just fine, and that's why this is not important, but with samsung roms the contact information is sent to the BT device, so I can search a contact and call without touching the phone, but in AOSP roms that info is not sent. This has always happened, in every CM and AOSP device in general I've ever had, so it's obvious it's a matter of one protocol that samsung uses and google doesn't use.

Specifically I'm not sure if my car uses AVRCP or PBAP.

So... does CM not support one of those two? It does and it's just working diferently than in samsung roms?

Could there be a way to get it working through apps, or something like that?

As I said it's not that important, but it's literally the only functionality that I miss from samsung roms (aside from the video recording getting fixed, but that is just something not working. You get the point), and it'd be nice to get it working.
[Galaxy S II General] fabrou:
Everybody is annoyed, in some sense, by questions for which the answer is already known, developers or testers or users and this is not a valuable reason to be insultant.

Just remember that everybody has been one day a beginner (I hate the word noobs) and that everybody has asked annoying questions at the beginning.

I guess this is the reason for which there are "general threads" and "developer threads".
[Galaxy S II General] Deathwing00:
That's not gonna work with the last nightly.

[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
I don't how I was insulting. The suggestion was to make the thread more efficient for new users to eliminate the posts that annoy people. Codeworkx was insulting o me.

[Galaxy S II General] fabrou:
Ooops sorry, I didn't wrote about you, undestand "some people" are insultant against the "noobs".

For making the thread more attractive, one should then have 3 levels : developpers (already exists), general (already exists) and perhaps add a "beginners" thread.

Im on CM9 with BT on a BMW X1 and i have absolutely no problem to see my contacts through the car's interface !

One thing that i had with samsung roms and not with CM9 is the SMS. With Samsung roms i could read the sms on the car interface with a notification when a new one arrives but since i use CM9 its not working anymore.
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
Yeah, that's an idea. Ether way. Something needs to be done cost his thread is now useless. Its completely bloated. And to suggest the forum is for devs only, I dont buy into as most of the forums and threads are none dev related. If xda wanted it to be dev only, they should have drawn up some sort of exam or submission of work to ensure people joining were capable of developing.

They didn't, and its not the noobs fault at all if it is the case that its only for devs, essentially its the fault of XDA for not screening new members.

I can only assume noobs and users benefit the forum.

[Galaxy S II General] Molitro:
There are many cars and BT kits that work fine. But mine has to use something specific that doesn't work with CM, but does work on samsung roms.

I'm just curious as if it's fixable, cause it would be pretty much the icing of the cake.

Edit: Ok, I'm seeing that my JVC uses PBAP (which stands for phone book audio profile, didn't know that). I take it that it should work fine on CM?

Guess what? Don't use this then. Use something that isn't a "BETA" and doesn't have the disclaimer saying that bug reports are not accepted.

I swear, CPU Spy and BetterBatteryStats have done more harm than good.

I get the same on my Nexus; it's typically a 1:1 correlation to my Exchange Services wakelock. So in my example it's completely normal, and expected, as Jon said it serves a purpose. It depends if yours is a 12 hour, or a 12 minute, wakelock.
