The fix for the wifi drivers which is supposed to fix the lock screen issue http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/16860/ isn't merged yet, since the whole lock screen issue was kind of random anyway its very likely you're just lucky that you haven't had it yet. People in the GT-I9100 thread were proclaiming it fixed yesterday too, but most of those people came back later to admit it had happened to them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheDude:
Not for me. Matter of fact, I have got the lock screen delay every time I have turned my device on this morning.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] apanihi:
That one is the worst when trying to do something quickly. I used to get it with 5/27.

Not all RFID chips are NFC compatible. Many (but not all) 13.56 MHz chips are (especially MIFARE), but I believe most of the drivers' license chips are not even in the right frequency band.

US Passports should be readable with the correct app, this is the list of things I know work for me:

MasterCard PayPass credit card (I can read some info off of it, however it's not useful info)

My employee ID badge (again, no useful info, it serves only to verify the NFC hardware seems to be working)

Purchased NFC tags (of course)

What doesn't work for me:

New York State Enhanced Drivers' License

I believe non of the pet-tracking RFID chips are compatible, even though some are using the correct frequency.

Yeah, pretty much. NFC was just an "ooh shiny" until I got some tags. CM9 profile support is great, as is setting up Foursquare auto-checkins.

Umm having a bit of a brain fart... haven't flashed a kernel since i rooted my phone. Downloaded the kernel and trying to use mobile odin like i did before do i use the boot.img and flash?? since it doesn't have the zImage that it said to pick in creepy's thread. sorry for asking a noob question just want to make sure
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
While it never happened to me, some people were complaining about disconnections on sleep.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DefTaker:
Just reboot into CWM and flash then reboot. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] aj9507:
I knew that way. but i was trying to avoid triggering my counter. so I was trying to follow creepy's thread again. does kernel flashing in cwm avoid triggering the counter too?? thanks in advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thracemerin:
It doesn't increase your counter to flash kernels in CWM. Remember, that flashing the nightly flashes a kernel, if it incremented your counter you'd probably have a huge number.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] aj9507:
good point. forgot about that thanks for the help and again sorry for the noobish question :o

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thracemerin:
Nice thing about these devices is unless you do something horribly wrong it's pretty hard to hard brick them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Only flashing custom kernels in download mode triggers the counter.

Also, if you see a kernel zip from me, it's CWM-flashable. I always package non-CWM-flashable stuff as 7-zip to prevent people from flashing it in CWM.

Also, who cares about triggering the counter now that we have TriangleAway?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] aj9507:
after reading creepys thread a ton before flashing for the first time his advice got stuck in my head lol. best way is to avoid triggering the counter in the first place. thanks again guys. will report back on results after testing

Oddly enough after flashing the kernel that was just posted, my hardware buttons no longer illuminate. Will do a clean install of cm9+kernel and post an update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheDude:
I see. Well, I can't report on disconnections while sleeping. While a bit premature, I can say that in the last couple hours I have not had one single instance of my device freezing while unlocking it! It was happening all day until I flashed your updated kernel. Well done and thank you! :D

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------

The hardware buttons on my device do flicker a few time like they are struggling to come on, but 2-3 seconds and a couple flickers they illuminate. I will take button flicker over lock screen freezes ;)

What would stop my phone from going into deep sleep? my battery life is awesome, so I don't have any rogue apps and my 'awake' time is negligible. When looking at CPU spy, my phone yesterday was at 200 mhz for about 10 hours. It was in deep sleep for 4. I stopped using my phone and iw as on its charger from about 11 pm till 8 am this morning. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lbohn:
When the phone is being charged, it will not go into Deep Sleep - that only happens on battery. That's how charging works on GB/Samsung ROMs and I don't believe that has changed with ICS/AOSP ROMs.

Poor mobile data signal

Hi,

I'm not sure it's a CM9 related issue, but since I'm currently on CM9, I'll try. I'm getting -83dBm and 15 ASU at best. Tried several modems (kk6,lc2,kh7,kj4) and the latest kernel posted here and Siyah kernel, all with same results. My other phones: captivate, optimus 2x and experia x10 mini all provide a -56dBm(around the 50's at least). My carrier bands are: GSM: 900/1800 and UMTS: 2100.

Should I try to go back to stock and try again? Do I have a faulty device?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheDude:
I have a brand new att tower about 1200 feet from my home and have never seen anything below 81dbm. I have also tested all modems with same results. Not sure what that tells you but my data is fast and I never drop a call.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Actual signal strength is affected by the modem, the firmware can't do anything about it.

However, one thing to note: Samsung's RIL is a bit funky when it comes to correctly reporting signal strength. I wouldn't trust any data it reports as being real.

In fact, I'm not sure, but I think the signal strength in ASU/dBm is derived from the number of bars the RIL reports - because this is the only thing the RIL consistently reports. The others it frequently chooses not to bother reporting, which is related to the bug on stock firmwares where the Battery stats screen often reports 100% time without signal even when the phone had strong signal at all times.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
To fix lockscreen lag, do I just flash latest nightly?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Next nightly. Or the test kernel I posted a few pages back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hi2u2:
I'm happy to report that the test kernel has fixed the wifi dropping problem. The phone was in deep sleep for ~8 hours and wifi stayed connected the whole time. Roaming works perfectly too. Thanks entropy!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheDude:
I'm happy to report that Entropy fixed it with parts purchased from here!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] maxmad80:
Thanks for the quick reply Entropy!

With regards to your comment om the samsung RIL - how will that explain my samsung captivate running CM9 having around 56mDb?

The issue I was trying to check anyways was this, sometimes mobile data connectivity is lost or is very slow to unresponsive. Calls are just ok at the same time and I do have 4 bars of signal and either 3G or H icon but dont seem to get data running with either browser, email and so on.

Any suggeation on what should I try to check?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rav4kar:
Entropy,

When I compare network speed using speedtest.net with same modem ( ld3) , GB+ DD Kernel always beats cm9 with native kernel, does it mean some network layer parameters such as TCP/IP buffer size , etc that effect network speed are not tuned or set with higher values?

Thanks in advance.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] switters1:
Does the new kernel have any effect on improving battery? Ie fixing wake locks?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thracemerin:
Given that wake locks that can only be attributed to the kernel and not apps are a very very small number, it may reduce those, but as far as the total contribution it will likely be negligible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] aj9507:

I +1 this. I go to school and around lunch time when the network gets really con jested I have full bars but web pages don't load. I always attributed it to high network usage but like Max said a airplane mode toggle momentarily fixes it and the iPhone right next to me it surfing like a champ. Help me Jesus... or entropy.

On another note, I spend a lot of time in places with no cell signal (like in buildings) is there any way to improve battery life in those conditions other than turning it off completely?

Exynos devices have a totally different RIL and modem interface from the old Hummingbird-based Aries devices. The weird signal strength reporting bug (100% time without signal on stock firmware) didn't exist on Aries devices.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
There's a possibility the wifi driver may have misbehaved in some situations with the old MMC driver - so there MIGHT be improvements if people had piles of wifi wakeups and such. Other than that there won't be. Wifi always behaved fine for me even with the new wifi driver and old MMC driver though.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stalked_r/t:
Would a delay in connection when answering phone calls be modem related or ROM? For instance, ever since going to CM9 I have to wait a few seconds whenever answering a phone call to speak. I sometimes forget and have to say 'hello' twice, so it's a long enough delay that I can say "This is Ryan" and have to repeat it so the person can hear it. Seeing that I appear to be the only one seeing this I'm thinking modem as a ROM problem would be more widespread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mgd76:
I get the same delay... couldn't pin it down to a specific nightly though, as I hadn't received a call in a while when I first noticed it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] george.z.he:
Does this rom also have the screen on delay of about 0.5 seconds to a second? All roms I've tried so far seems to have it :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thracemerin:
ICS kernels take longer than GB kernels to fully wake up from deep sleep (about 1s (ICS) vs about .6s (GB)), it's currently not possible to change this delay, all ICS based ROMs will have it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] george.z.he:
So there is a possibility that it will be fixed at some point then? :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thracemerin:
Maybe, but based on what I've read it's pretty deep in the code and may not be something that can be fixed, Entropy might be able to explain it better. Either way, I wouldn't hope for a solution in the short term.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
It's DEEP in the kernel suspend/resume code. Fixing it will be a MAJOR rework effort that is likely to cause many stability problems when it's being fixed.

I'm not sure if I'll ever have the time to really look at it - the delay doesn't bother me, the only motivation I have is to reduce suspend/resume power consumption.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alan2012:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] leo9891:
Just wanted to say thanks for this! Also, how did you change the Carrier Logo on your Notifications Drop-down List? Yours says "o2 - de". I've been looking in all the settings as to how to change it, but I can only change the one in the Lock-Screen.

Am I overseeing something? Or did you have to modify a file to do that?

*Tried quoting your screenshot but due to my low post count, it won't let me post outside links, such as your picture from imgur(dot)com*

IDK if it does increase the Flash Counter, but if it does, try TriangleAway if you want to reset your Flash Counter back to 0.

Link: TriangleAway v1.25

Just make sure you don't get a very high flash count, anything over 127 flash counts to be exact, because then it won't work. I know it might be annoying to have to do this every time you flash an update, but it works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MacAlert:

Herp derp.... I thought I got rid of Triangle Away, it was still running messing with storage :/

[OLDINFO]

Anybody else have missing apps issues w/ latest builds, after reboot like 70 apps go missing out of 160. Seems if I enable and disable USB debugging, the phone then somehow re-scans the storage and all 160 apps re-appear.

Not certain kernel authors - more specifically the official Galaxy Note (GT-N7000) source code and official Note kernels. It turns out that rather than completely revert the mainline patch that enabled TA's operation, Sammy only removed two lines or so, so it was easy to put it back in. :)

I believe, based on comments, the new version of TA will temporarily flash a kernel with boot partition support, make the changes, then revert it, if it is unable to initially access the boot partitions.
