Just got a Vibrant, rooted, and installed CM7.2 RC1 and I have a few questions.

When I first got into the stock 2.2 before rooting there was mention of WIFI calling. I had this on my MT3GS and it was ported to CM7. Has this been attempted was there issues? It looks like some 2.2 roms here in XDA have this feature.

Also, I have yet to get a GPS lock on CM7 (never tried on the stock 2.2). I am seeing a lot of information scattered around the forum for different android versions/kernel combinations and fixes with mixed results. It's kinda difficult to put it all together. Is there a fix for GPS locks on CM7, if so what has worked the best? The MT3GS had/has GPS lock issues as well. I found a modified GPS.conf file in ETC did wonders for that phone. Locks now happen in a couple minutes. From what I can gather it seems like the issue is lower level for the Vibrant involving lock times as well as GPS recovery/resume from deep sleep.

Lastly does the mute/unmute bug exist across android versions or is this isolated to CM7.

Sorry for the giant post, I just seemed this is the best thread to start in with questions.
[Vibrant Android Development] ovar:
I have installed the GPS fix and the Streamline kernel and I still have not gotten a GPS lock.

1.Flashed CM 7.2rc1

2.Flashed YAGF Version 2

3.Tested - No lock

4.Ran Kernel Cleaner script

5.Flashed Newest Streamline Kernel (no bln)

6.Tested - No lock

Any ideas?

What version of CM7 are you on?

Wifi calling is something that I want to put in eventually. Last time I tried it failed.

You might want to try the gps hardware fix if nothing works for you.

Tunnel voice has been fixed in the latest nightlies.
[Vibrant Android Development] CTown:
Wifi calling would be pretty cool. Not only because it's useful but because Wifi calling is one of the best features T-Mobile phones have over the variants on other carriers.

I never really got GPS to work fast on my phone. I can put my brother's Vibrant on the same firmware (we got our Vibrants on the same day) and he is more likely to get a GPS lock...

I'm on ICS by the way but it since the same patch was applied to the CM7 and CM9 branches: Voice is clear, thanks for that.
[Vibrant Android Development] creeve4:
I'm running the latest CM7.2 nightly. I cannot delete the "Night" profile.

Every other profile is deletable, but for Night, when I select "Delete profile" and click "ok" nothing happens.

My goal is to have just a Default and a Work profile, so I ended up deleting the Work profile and renaming Night to Work. Just strange that the Night profile won't delete...
[Vibrant Android Development] flapane:
With CM7.1, SMS led notification timed out after some seconds.

Now the led lights remain lit until I read the SMS. I tried to search in CM settings->interface->LED but couldn't find any timeout setting.

faultexception have you seen pdroid? It's located in Android hacking apps on the forums here... Complete control of what permissions you want an app to have access to... Pretty neat app, sorry I don't have a link handy atm but its worth checking out
[Vibrant Android Development] creeve4:
I know in Samsung ROMs I could hit the search key and search through all my calendar entries.
[Vibrant Android Development] CTown:
No, CM could get banned from using Google's Play store...

Cyanogenmod will never use PDroid. If they try Google would come after them since PDroid gives off fake device information:

I would like to know if cm7 support is dead. According to the general cm team they are working towards a 7.2 RC2 release, for a final goodbye to gingerbread and ( nightlies have been absent since 4/02...)

Cm9 is shaping up to be the permanent replacement but imo I don't feel its ready just yet :).

One last thing, according to the stats a good amount of people still running 7.1 or stuff before 7.2, no bueno. An integrated OTA update system(if not complete,atleast for a quick message to people to let them know there's a new stable version) should be in consideration by the cm team.
[Vibrant Android Development] FaultException:
I did drop support for CM7, and was only going to work on CM9, but I am actually going to be working on CM7 again.
[Vibrant Android Development] creeve4:
Thanks for sticking with CM7 for a little longer!
[Vibrant Android Development] akfelipe:
Ah much appriciated fault, looking foward to what cm7 and cm9 will bring.

Great... because you show you give a damn . Samsung Google and T-Mobile will sue you and cyanogenmod for keeping people satisfied with our soon to be 2 year old smartphones. Smh its your fault exception (see what I did there! :D )
[Vibrant Android Development] MurdockBaracus:
Is mute/unmute fixed? Didn't see any more mention of it. Thanks.

right now I'm on Slim rom based in AOKP, sorry I should've given more detail

If you're wanting to go to CM7 from Slim ICS then try clearing the cache & dalvik cache and flash CM7, if you boot loop then go into recovery and flash CM7 again.

Thank you so much for explaining in lament terms, I didn't think it was that simple I feel stupid.

Interesting when I tried rolling back from ics to gingerbread or froyo I get some recovery errors(will try again though), I though Odin was the only way..

Anyone else have SOD issues? Once in while my phone will go to sleep and not wake up. I have to hold the power button down to reboot it or pull the battery.

Using latest nightly with Streamline Kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] mexicandroid:
Good to know I wasn't the only one that thought that lol
[Vibrant Android Development] johnnycs:
I think I got the SOD today. Didn't use my phone for a few minutes, pulled it out of my pocket and couldn't get the screen on. No keys responded. Even long pressing on the power battery didn't work. Had to pull the battery.

Android System

Is anyone else seeing Android system eating up battery? Im on nightly 4/21 and it seems to be running smooth but I've got 30% drain from Android System.

Edit: kwapd0 has reared its ugly head in full effect! Back to give my battery a proper fu**ing! Ugh!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] johnnycs:
I'm also on nightly 4/21, but no drain from Android system. However, it looks like external GPS options are missing from the GPS Source menu. Is this happening for anyone else?

Edit: Never mind, the GPS settings fixed after a reboot

SOD in Apr 17 nightly

Hi FaultException,

My phone SOD'd today. I can't post pastebin link as the output of

is more than 500kb and pastebin doesn't let me upload it. I have zipped the file and attached it here. I did this before rebooting so I hope this helps with SOD issues.

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] java230:
Ok here is my issue. I was on the 3/17 nightly, bad tunnel phone, but mostly only on incoming calls. Internal speaker was very loud, to the point of distortion.

Flashed the newest nightly, now tunnel phone is gone, but I can't hardly hear the speaker at all. Speaker phone is fine.

Any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] FaultException:
CyanogenMod for the Vibrant currently contains intermittent issues with the emergency dialing system. I strongly urge you NOT to use CyanogenMod on the Vibrant until they can be fixed. No more CM9 nightlies will be produced until that time.

Help by testing a test CM9 build for it​

Please take any conversations regarding other kernels to their proper threads.
[Vibrant Android Development] ovar:
For all those have SOD issues, do you use profiles in SetCPU? I noticed the issue occurring when I set a profile to down clock my phone when the screen turned off. I removed the profile and have not had an issue since.

Thanks, I ended up running a memory script fix that seems to have resolved my issues. I also got one of those 2300mah batteries and I am getting multiple days out of my phone now.

No widgets, no OC. Pretty rad. Any progress on the emergency calling?
[Vibrant Android Development] flapane:
I don't know if somebody already found it out, but using an external BT GPS works great, it locks the signal in a couple of minutes without using AGPS data, and the phone finally goes into deep sleep after having used it.

I don't know if the dev guys will ever solve the issues with internal gps and no locks and no deep sleep, but in the meanwhile at least I can use Google Maps...
[Vibrant Android Development] flapane:

Anyone have a link to the change log?

[Vibrant Android Development] flapane:
rc3's out
[Vibrant Android Development] flapane:
Fault, there's a bug I noticed since the nightly prior to RC3: when you plug the USB cable, the USB storage notification on the upper bar suddenly disappears, so you can't tap on it and on "TURN ON USB STORAGE". You have to plug the usb cable 4 or 5 times before it works as it's worked in the previous builds.
[Vibrant Android Development] flapane:
7.2 stable is out.

I wonder if cm9 gps fix can be included in cm7 nightlies, too.
[Vibrant Android Development] FaultException:
.... I really gotta stop finding out about releases from other people posting on these topics!

I guess you did beat the Google+ post though.

Anyway, if you're referring to the CM9 deep sleep fix, it's not needed on CM7, as the CM7 init.rc doesn't use ASLR.
[Vibrant Android Development] flapane:
I don't get the Google+ thing, I just checked CM downloads page after a week I haven't done it.

I've always had the DS issue after having used internal GPS (err... having tried to use GPS without great results compared to BT GPS though), but if you say that it shouldn't happen, than I guess it's something related to a failed ROM flash and maybe I should Odin back to stock.

I guess I'll just keep using BT gps 'till the first CM9 stable build, then. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] FaultException:
How does it work on CM9 for you?
[Vibrant Android Development] flapane:
I still haven't tried it after your fix, so it failed going into deep sleep last time I tried it weeks ago. I guess it'd work flawlessy as expected and as reported by other users.

title says it all, i want to get a new micro SD card cuz i dont have enough space for my music on my 16GB so i wantex to know if brand really matters when buying micros cuz i can get a cheaper price on smaller name brands. so, opinions?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] media_11:
I would say it depends on where you buying them from. I would never buy a micro sd card from ebay or similar sites because they might say Samsung on them and you can get them from real cheap, You wouldn't know if they are REAL samsung micro sd cards.

I usually buy mine from newegg.com and they start at $10 for 16gb
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bark777:
I can't say what the difference is to the phone. I bought a 32GB PNY class 10 so I would be able to cut the time it takes to download from my computer to the card with a reader. I have a usb3 port and usb3 reader on my PC which is used mostly for photography. But when I transfer music and movies to my card for my phone it is faster by three fold.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] avrillapete:
The faster the card, really the better. If you get some random off brand, who knows where that card came from, and if the speed rating is even accurate. Some places house brands are pretty good though, I dunno who makes Microcenter's memory but they are very cheap and have yet to have a problem with them. However the real issue would be reliability. It's always a good idea to backup your card, but I rather have my data and photos on a name I can trust. 60 bucks for the PNY 32gb class 10 was a good deal for me.

On this particular phone, you can consider the SD card like your computer's hard drive. Would you really go get some off-brand from ebay for your PC to save a few dollars? I know I wouldn't. Not worth the headache of losing important data.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] media_11:
I understand faster cards works better. However, I never really notice any difference in speed in my class 4, class 6 or class 10 in Galaxy 4g. I do notice little different in my galaxy s2. I can see the difference when I run benchmarks but in my opinion the speed of card also depends on speed of your device.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
i would love to get a PNY one, but ive bought three usb drives from them and all of them habe literally fallen apart...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
I would agree with this. The name only is relevant if your buying from a unknown vendor. But if your going with newegg or some other online retailer other than some random ebay auction as long as it is the size you want I dont think it really matters.

The class of the sdcard is somewhat releveant depending on what you are doing with it. The typical android user will not notice that much of a increase of a class 10 over a class 4. But if your taking bunches of photos and videos or playing videos on your phone the class ten are going to perform "better".

Just to reiterate the name brand isnt as much of a issue if you are buying from a legit source. I bought a dane elctric one several years back and haven't had any problems other than the adapter went out. The card itself works flawlessly.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] JuLes' MostWanted:

My PNY 32GB class 10 speed.

Sequential

21.59MB/s read - 11.55MB/s write

This is using a 50MB file.

I would like to test the 4k transfers, but in order to test with a file size less than 50MB I would have to wipe the card. I'll do it just not any time real soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jigglynuts:
It really depends on how exactly you are using your sd card. I know in the OP you said you have a lot of music. Do you typically clear all of your music and transfer all new stuff to the phone?

I have been using a sandisk class 6 for quite some time now and I absolutely love it. It is perfect for my needs. But I do not do a lot of heavy music on my sd card. I have read that even the class 10 Lexar sd cards have terrible random speeds, so I would definitely avoid them at all costs.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
no, i just drop music on the card from my laptop, never a complete replacement
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Reading that post jig posted I would say a class 4 or 6 would be best.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jigglynuts:
I would definitely agree with that.

This site has a really good deal on a class 4 32gb for today only. I order from them quite a bit. The only issue I ever have is sometimes it takes a while to be delivered.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cognus:
avoid amazon? or..

if I order from amazon, should I be wary of the brand name? like, have some of you bought via amazon what appeared to be a kingston or whatever known brand, only to find it probably is not?

I read the advice about watching the source carefully....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jigglynuts:
I have not ever had that issue with amazon before. I guess that it is possible but very unlikely in my opinion.

Its not like ebay where i would never trust that it is legitimate. I have ordered quite a bit from amazon without a single hitch or mistake.

Always be wary of ordering online though... because it can happen.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
As long as it is from amazon and not a store. But again amazon is better about policing its stores than ebay is. I have bought from amazon many times and not once had a problem with getting a different product then what I ordered.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cognus:
that's comforting. so I shall order the sandisk 32gb microsd from them. not bad for 25 bucks I guess. I hear it works fine in the Galaxy s 4G.

you know.... this is an aside... I am getting that phone [its on the way] for my wife, but I fear I shall like it. :confused: .. then what? but she's never used Android b4 so maybe she will barf ;)

Edit: wait, those aren't Micro SD Cards are they? or am i just missing something in the reading?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bark777:
That is a pretty good card I use the SanDisk 32GB Extreme for video and DSLR. That one should be great for point and shoot cameras. You have to run it though the laundry to fit our micro SD slot. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Nice catch. I get stupid emails from amazon and seen the card and didnt pay a ton of attention.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:

I just placed the order a few minutes ago. $23.08 total with shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 95Z28:
Thought I'd update: I ordered the card I linked to, selected from memory mogul due to a review I read, and received it 4 days later. Works as it should, is a legit 32gb sandisk.

According to SD tools has a read speed of 15+ mbps (vs 8+ stock) while write speed is more in line with the class 4 rating at 4+ (stock was 6+). So for 23 bucks I'm satisfied.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jigglynuts:
This site has a class 4 Sandisk 32 gb class 4 on sale today for $15. I am not affiliated with them at all but it is an awesome deal. I have the exact same card at my house so I did some speed tests on it and here is what I came up with.

I used SD booster to adjust cache sizes and SD tools to compare speeds.

I hope the other OEM's start taking their designs a bit more serious. Nokia will make them look like chumps if they do what they've been doing for years, and what they've done on phones up until this point.

I'm sure the OEM's realize this because its going to be just like what Nokia is going to do for Windows Phones if they go into the tablet market with a vengeance. They will stand out tall, in stark contrast to the cookie cutter habits of Samsung, Sony, Toshiba, Dell, HP ect.
