emergency number

I haven't tested this on the 9/2 build but over the weekend we saw a crime committed and tried to call 911 on my phone and it displayed that it was calling "emergency number", but then it said that this number can't be dialed or something like that... Is there a setting that needs to be changed in order for it to work for me? I live in the US and use T-mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Mwas.:
Oh well, I guess I talked too soon. Wifi calling is not working again. Getting same problem as all others.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] detdett:
Hey jocala,

Is it possible I can record video while answering a call? I noticed whenever I have incoming calls, it would end my recording and switch to picking up my call. I want to be able to pick up and not stop my recording. The reason I want this is because I am using my phone as a dashboard camera when I am driving.

Thanks

I realized this has been explained in the OP, but has anyone found a permanent fix? It is time consuming to have to reboot the phone almost every time I want to read my email, which is 10+ times per day...
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
I don't have an answer, but your post made me think. I haven't had a need to call 911 yet, but one hopes it works the first time you need it. And it's not the thing you can really test ... here in Houston there are occasional media reports telling people not to abuse the 911 system.

Have you registered/logged-into T-Mobile's web site? There is a place to register your home address for the purpose of 911 identification. Maybe if you haven't done that, you're getting an error. Just grasping at straws here.

Mostly unrelated, but perhaps not: I activated a second T-Mobile pre-paid account. I will use this SIM card for getting mobile data (3G/4/G) for $3 per day. I've only used it once or twice. When I went to activate the plan I had to choose a phone number of course. I couldn't get a Houston area code because I guess they're all taken. Without really thinking it through I registered a phone number for the northeast US. I have family there and it was available.

A couple of side effects that I didn't foresee were 1) local people cannot call my new number from a land line without incurring long distance charges. 2) I was unable to register my 911 address on T-Mobile's web site. I'm pretty sure #2 was due to the fact that my zip code and my new phone # area code do not correlate.

Download a cache cleaner and set it to clean every hour to see if it avoids the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
I just confirmed this and am adding it to the OP as a not working item. I'll post more when I know more.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] oneru:
T-mobile phones have run into the 911 issue in the past, particularly the Vibrant. I believe the CM guys fixed this at CM9 for that phone. Maybe look into their fix to see if it would work here?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] briot12:
Out of curiosity, how did you confirm this? Did you actually call the police?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Yes. We're looking at their RIL patch and seeing if it can be adapted for our device.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] airwickkk:
Well the recording uses the microphone and so does the cell phone call. So I'd imagine that's why. I don't even think you can do that on stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ScipioWarrior:
No permanent fix, but I just kill the app by holding the back button (it's a setting in the developer options) and that usually fixes it.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] detdett:
True, so I guess there's no workaround?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] airwickkk:
I would say find a video recorded on the play store than let's you do what you want.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] creeve4:
Tried several cache cleaners. The first time I enter the email app after clearing the cache, email text shows, but once I exit and enter again the text is gone in the body of all messages. So I would have to clear the cache every time before I use email.

Can we please get a fix for this?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] detdett:
It was have tried different recording app to no avail. Incoming calls will end the video. Technically I don't even need sound for my recording because I m only using it for the purpose of a *black box *

Like I suggested before, just kill the app and reopen it. Always fixes it for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] 954wrecker:
Just use one of several other great ROMS we have to choose from. We are lucky we have so many available from some extremely dedicated developers. If Gmail is so important the others may suit you better until this known issue is resolved. I have a backup of every rom and as jocala has said in the past its only ~5 minutes to switch between them.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] MegaKegHead:
Hi Jocala!

I must be very lucky.

I don't have any of the issues I read about.

Must be Clean living!

Thanks again for your great work.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] 954wrecker:
Good work jocala I also have not had any issues either with the new update
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tom_yellowblue:
As others have said, just kill the app. Either using the long-back-press, or bring up the recent apps (hold down the home key) and swipe gmail away.

I had this problem all the time when I started using CM9 (at least 3-4 times a day), but now it only happens to me once every few days. I'm still on the same ROM version too.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] creeve4:
None of these are a fix, but work arounds. I'll kill the app until a fix is found.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] crhylove:
I had trouble today with the stock tethering app neither bluetooth or wifi would work. I was trying to tether and connect my touchpad I will try barnacle tomorrow. When it comes to email, I can't suggest k 9 mail highly enough. It always works without issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] airwickkk:
Running a clean install, tethering works fine, used it all day.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] T679noob:
Hardly a hindrance. Killing the app fixes the issues for a significant amount of time, typically. Life continues
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] SurgeRush:
I've noticed that the T-Mobile my account app always shows that I've used 0% data. I never come anywhere near the 5gb, so it's no big deal, just wanted to mention it.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ScipioWarrior:
Yeah, it's stopped working on one of the builds released in august. It had worked fine before that. I miss it but if I really needed to know I could log onto the t-mobile website.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Bloodflame:
ICS has built-in data monitoring tools in the Settings menu. Doesn't that work?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dwcasey:
ghosting fonts

FWIW, I have the fonts/text disappearing in GMail. There is an option in Developer Options at the very bottom, long press Back button to kill app. I checked the box. Now, when I get the issue with disappearing text, I long press to kill, then reopen and all good.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] airwickkk:
Download the new my account app from the play store. It shows your data. And if your a rom switcher like me, the build in ics data counter won't do you much good ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] andy o:
It's rarer now that I get the "disappearing text" thing on gmail, fb and email, but whenever I do, long-pressing home and swiping away the open app fixes it.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
I don't get any glitches. Disappearing text or anything. I erase both extra and internal sdcard and keep only media and backups. Restore app only and regards start fresh. So far not a stutter.

Been playing with antutu to try for higher rates and change sdcard read write in rom toolbox to 1024 produced best 2048 dropped results to lower than 128 settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
So 911 calls don't work at all?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jaysonr35gtr:
I was able to make a 911 call with the 8/26 build through the regular dialer it didn't work on the emergency dialer at the lockscreen though. Don't know if latest build works the same way or you can't call at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] oneru:
If it's the same bug as the Vibrant used to have, then no, not at all. The suggested workaround is to look up your local fire and police department numbers and put them in your contacts list.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] T679noob:
Facebook app is a fail, in general, for the record. Doesn't matter what the ROM and/or build. "Disappearing text" on the Facebook app, is nothing new. It's been that way for me since the day I got this phone. I use the browser.

Gmail issue is as simple as the aforementioned "kill app back button," or likes thereof. I've actually had zero issues on this 0902 build, period. Zero.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] liquidnails:
I agree. This build is by far the best build yet. I can't find anything really to complain about. I'm very pleased with this phone because of cm9. I'll say it a hundred times, GREAT job jocala!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] hotsauce126:
This build really is the best one yet. I used to get a lot of random slowdowns and some random reboots but its been noticeably better with the newest build
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
I just rolled back to the 8/26 build and 911 calling was not functional with the regular dialer.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Crow550:
Today I got almost 8 hours. Running Skype, Steam, Google Talk & Groove IP in the background.

Will purchased applications work if you flash roms different from what you used to buy the app?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] stab244:
Yes they will as long as you use the same account that you bought the app with. It's linked to your account and not phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] JMccovery:
Ok, strange thing happened today, phone rebooted on its own, and froze at the boot animation for about 30 seconds. Only thing running was GrooveIP.

Does anyone have a problem with the phone changing brightness back to the default setting? It happens randomly after I wake the phone.

Other than that, the latest CM9 build is working so beautifully.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] detdett:
Did you turn on auto brightness?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Not so strange at all. This week the phone has froze and rebooted on me 4 or 5 times (though not at boot). A couple of times I had to do a battery pull which is normally very rare. It's bad enough I'm thinking about reverting to the 8/16 build which seemed more stable, at least for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] airwickkk:
Just a little tip, if you mean a literal battery pull, just hold the power button down for maybe 10 seconds.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] JMccovery:
There is no auto brightness setting for this phone in CM9, at least, not one I can find.

The issue happens when I set the brightness to the lowest setting, then wake the phone after a few minutes or more.

Before the phone rebooted, it wouldn't wake from sleep for about 10 minutes, and I have the minimum CPU speed set to 384MHz.

Don't update flashlight hd, led stops working.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cars1189:
Actually if you do update it be better imo. By installing the update if you open settings > then go to test tool> ON Loop Picture. Not only will the led turn on but it doesn't blink anymore. :D Few more steps :P but hey it works lol

Hopefully the author of the app will make this the default method. The new update actually says it has fix for our phone. And it kinda does its just not what the app does by default, maybe its just like a preliminary update to test the new method. I wonder if this method could be implemented with the included torch app that would be nice. I just hope we get emergency calling working soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Willielf:
I made that mistake too... :(
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] friedCELLS:
He's right. 3 more button presses than before but now it doesn't blink. Stays on bright. I prefer it this way.

That was the issue. Thanks for your help :D

The ROM is great, thank you, I just have the following issues:

1) Searching for network or manually selecting a network does not work.

2) Bluetooth tetherig doesn't work
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] T679noob:
Just had an odd issue... rebooted with something like 49% battery life. After boot, I got a battery notification and it dropped to 10%, then while I was cutting the grass it rose up to 14%.

I've tested basically ALL the apps, and none work except for the Flashlight HD LED app when you do as people say up there ^^^

Charge the phone all the way up and then boot into recovery choose Advanced and wipe battery to see if it fixes it. Then let it go all the way to 0 and shut itself down before recharging it all the way back up.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jebise101:
was hoping to flash this on my dad's phone the 911 not working is a deal breaker since we have no home phone. He is getting old and if there is an emergency 911 needs to work at least from the regular dialer.

He does not have a lock so it alright the emergency dialer does not work, but regular one needs to be fixed and i hope soon. Dieing to get ICS on that phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] T679noob:
Cool... this was actually my plan lol just thought I'd throw it out there. Never had that happen.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
911

There's currently zero progress with 911 on our phone. The pertinent files are listed below if anyone would like to take a shot at fixing it:

I've been trying to integrate code from SamsungRIL.java into our device-specific SamsungMSMRIL.java w/o any luck thus far.

The original patch for 911 can be seen below:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/bd6eb47f3cec24bbad996807a140465e89e54365

Most of this is already present in SamsungRIL.java
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cars1189:
Was just wondering is that the ril we used before we switched to samsungmsmril? So could we switch back to that ril and just network time wont work again? Cause imo emergency calling > network time lol. Like till we figure out how to fix both.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
ro.telephony.ril_class=SamsungMSMRIL

Change in build.prop and reboot to test your theory.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Faruk88:
If 911 isn't working, I would suggest putting that in the list of things that aren't working in the first post.

Are there any problems with 911 in Peach Sunrise? I installed that, and I'm not having any problems with the name of my carrier not showing up properly, or not being able to do a network scan. Everything seems to work for me on that ROM.

Not hating on your CM9 ROM of course... It's pretty remarkable how far you've gotten with this. Hopefully I'll come back to it when it's out of beta status :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
I would suggest that you re-read the OP :)

As soon as the 911 issue was discovered it was immediately added to the not-working list.

No, this is a CM issue only.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] andy o:
I'm pretty sure I found out what's happening with battery drain and Groove IP with my phone, it may apply to what others are experiencing with Wifi as well. Apparently Groove IP, as soon as it gets activated by a call, activates WiFi high performance mode. As it happens, when the call is hanged up, most of the time (not always) the high perf mode sticks and doesn't go away until Wifi is turned off and on again.

I have tested this with the test proposed in this app's page:

When using this widget (and Groove IP not running so it gets isolated), WiFi high performance mode dutifully returns to idle state. So, I'm not sure if it's the ROM, but I can't test Groove IP with my other devices (LG Optimus V with IHO CM7 and Nexus 7 with AOKP build 1) because these apparently don't support high perf mode. The Nexus 7 shows a bit of a difference in ping times, but only at the start when Groove IP is dialing, then it goes back to the high-tens/low hundreds of ms, so it's not very reliable to tell the changes. With the Exhibit though, the difference in high-perf and low-perf is extremely marked:

If any of you guys with other devices and Groove IP installed could run the same test and see if Groove IP does the same for you, it would be great. I posted in another forum something about this, and the Groove IP person was being responsive, but I didn't have much to give him.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cars1189:
Yea doesn't work to just change it. Have to set it during compile. Not that i could just call 911 anyways lol
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
You're mistaken. Try compiling with SamsungRIL (edit system.prop in device/samsung/ancora_tmo), then you'll see you can switch back & forth between RILs with build.prop edits. The current SamsungRIL does not enable 911 for us, I truly wish it were that easy.

I don't have any problems testing this. No one is going to be cited for one phone call, which is all it will take to verify the 911 function works. Sorry operator, I misdialed. Making 911 work for cm9 is a public service anyway, not some childish prank.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Faruk88:
Oops! I have no idea how I missed that :o
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] andy o:
quick update on my post above re:Wifi battery drain. I installed the stock rom, and Groove IP is working fine, as soon as the call is hanged up it returns to the low-perf mode. Anyone having Groove IP working fine? (please do the test above if you can, it's quick.)

That may be an issue specific to you. I just purchased Modern Combat 3 with no problems from the Google Play store.

How about the email bug.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tagzard:
What.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jgrinst1:
Well, isn't that interesting. Nice job following that through.

If it is the Wifi in CM9, then you will see the same battery drain using the WiFI High Performance widget on, and the Groove IP Hi-perf lock off. You can set the widget to just be on when a SIP call is in progress (experimental), which appears to work on the GB ROM, so try it on CM9.

Thanks, my ping times weren't as high as yours but there is a significant difference with that lock on.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
Look man, you don't command people to help you. Ask nicely, and consider these as prerequisites before asking for help:

* Reboot phone

* Wipe cache

* Fix permissions

* Wipe data for the specific app

* Make sure you have a nice attitude

Also, have you considered the simple workaround of just writing down the email address then sending it from the email app manually?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
I think if people want to take the attitude of "do this" and "do that" then they should follow up with a donation. Put your money where your mouth is. Otherwise if you are using somebody's work for free you have no right to demand anything. Be thankful someone like Jocala spends A LOT of their time doing this and ask for nothing. That or there are several other ROMS to use for this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] detdett:
All the posts you have made recently are complaining one rom from the rest. If you believe the roms you have tested do not meet your standard, you should stick with the stock rom as these ones are not for you

Widgets and battery life

Those with battery problems might want to temporarily disable some of your widgets if you have them. I froze Fancy Widgets and Simple Calendar and my battery life increased quite a bit. I'm not sure yet which one was the main culprit.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] MegaKegHead:
I wonder is wallet needs to be activated?

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] andy o:
The widget does work also with Groove IP perfectly, it gets activated with the call and disabled when the call ends. The problem is that the widget doesn't force low perf when disabled after Groove IP already locked it. If it did, it would be the perfect fix.

Just to be clear, this is with default Groove IP settings, including its own WiFi high perf lock disabled. And again, with the stock ROM it doesn't happen, it just returns to low perf mode as it should.

Could you try after a Groove IP call, and see if you have the same problem, please? Or does WiFi high perf returns to idle after a Groove IP call? Also, could you try it a few times, cause the problem doesn't happen always, but most of the time.

Thanks.
