Anyone else not having the voicemail icon go away in the notification bar? Have not had this happen yet, and am wondering if it has anything to do with the newest build.

I've restarted the phone, deleted all my messages, and still, the icon remains. Cannot be manually "swiped" away either.

This happens from time to time. Leave yourself a message and then erase it. That will send the reset notification to the phone removing the icon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rav4kar:
why don't you try this ..

1. Disable auto brightness control

2. Menu > System Settings > system > Status Bar> Brightness Control ( Check) [ Allows adjusting of brightness by sliding across status bar]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] halfsoul:
For the people who say auto brightness is too dark outside, make this change:

Settings / Display / Automatic backlight / Use custom light levels: checked

Settings / Display / Automatic backlight / Edit other levels...

Set number of levels: 4

Set lower limits like this...

Reason: the default setting for max brightness only gets triggered when >10001, but...

* Note: Actually, there is one more level. Shining a flashlight directly into the sensor give the maximum of 16000 (as shown in screenshot). Ideally we would set 5 levels and set the fifth from 10001 to infinity, but the levels software only allows settings of up to 3000.

Network issue - if you put your SIM into another phone it'll likely give you the same stuff. Happened to my parents a few weeks ago.

Yup. It seems like sometimes, the network fails to clear the voicemail flag when deleting the last voicemail. The end result is you have no voicemails, but have the voicemail flag set. It can't be cleared unless you delete a voicemail - so you need to leave yourself one and delete it.

As I said above - this is a network problem. If you plug your SIM into another phone you'll almost surely see the vmail indicator on that phone activate.

Ever since the 5/7 nightly, I've been having issues with my contacts...

I'll hit the phone icon to make a call and I get a popup notification saying "contacts has stopped working"

Happens on 5/7, 5/8, 5/9 nightly... I have to go into "people" and call them that way. Weird. Been wiping cache and dalvik before every wipe, never had any issues before except this.

It works ok if I revert back to the 5/6 nightly.

Stock kernel.

Any ideas? :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] parkland808:
I haven't seen this problem, running 5/9 nightly. Are you running some other kind of app that deals with your contacts?

I haven't been able to see my 5Ghz network at home ever since flashing this. I was reading the AOKP thread and they have the fix in their FAQ's. May I ask why CM9 does not include the fix? Simply changing the two files in question from "GB" to "US" fixed it. GB stands for Great Britain & US for, duh. I'm sure this would be an issue for people outside of USA so maybe that's why?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] K Rich:
Well I had one random issue last night...

Right off the bat, I'm running Siyah kernel at the moment. I put my phone on the charger at about 11pm when I was heading to bed. I woke up at 3am to use the restroom, decided to check my phone, and when I turned the screen on, the lock screen clock was "stuck" at 11pm, I unlocked it and the clock in the status bar was also "stuck" at 11pm. The weird thing is the phone was completely usable (ie not locked up). A reboot fixed it easy enough, but I use my phone as my alarm for the morning, and having the clock freeze means it won't go off. Anyone else experience this?

Anyone knows how to enable the "Backup Account" option under the "Backup & Reset" setting? This used to work fine in the early builds but I haven't seen it enabled in a while. Now Even when I activate the backup option, I cannot select any account to back it up to. I am on 5/8 now but I don't think it matters much because I've been having this issue since at least 4/20 or earlier.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Seems to be frequently reported by those who did a TiBu restore, even an apps-only one. Most of the people in question used the "ghetto NFC hack" prior to the NFC support being properly integrated.

I think it's just CarHome.apk - I don't remember there being a CarHomeLauncher.

Samsung Car Home also works well (other than not being able to control dock audio redirection from the app), but it's a ***** to get it from the market.

Yes - right now all GS2 variants use the same file. I'm trying to get the build system to override the file for I777 only since nearly all I777 users are in the US, but it's one of those build system intracacies that's a little annoying.

Eventually I want to figure out a way to handle wifi region in a more generic manner, since I9100 really needs to handle multi-region usage, but getting the build system to replace that one file for I777 is a temp workaround.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lbohn:
CarHomeLauncher is required for CH to show up in the app drawer (link). At a minimum, CHL needs to be in /system/app to work correctly. With CHL in /system/app, it seems CH may run correctly as a user app (link, posts 1, 4 & 5). However dannyfritz's experience is that CH needs to be in /system/app.

Since CH can be automatically invoked by docking our phone into the official Samsung car dock, (link, posts 2 & 3) perhaps some users have CH launch without installing the CHL component (as implied in my first link). I don't use an official Samsung car dock; instead I rely on the Start with Bluetooth option. But that isn't enabled by default, so I need to manually launch CH once to configure it.

Bottom line ... I guess I will be hanging onto my CWM zip and reflashing after each upgrade. That is unless the CM team can persuade Google to allow them to include CH in the ROM now that it's abandonware. :)

Latest build 20120509 - after ending a phone call, I get kicked back out all the way to my lockscreen? WTF??? <-- Is this happening to anyone else? I've already tried clearing out the phone app's data and I've wiped cache and dalvik-cache again in CWM but no luck...phone keeps doing this.

Just wondering if it's the latest build before I have to perform a FULL wipe.

*UPDATE* Ok, don't know why but I ended up fixing it so if you run into this same issue just go into system settings > security > remove pattern <-- this is what I had but you might be using a pin instead? > reboot phone > then I went back into settings and re-established my pattern lock and the phone seems to be working correctly again. :confused: why it was giving me an issue this time around tho...

**UPDATE 2:** Dammit, rebooted the phone and the issue came back...don't know what the problem is...I like having my lockscreen secured so removing it isn't an option.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
I ended up clearing data for nfc service and tags app and then reboot

Issue returns once in a while, not sure what causes it, could be new nightly flashes, but clearing data for those two and rebooting always fixes it.

Using tibu's clear function to clear data doesnt always work, I tap and hold the app from tibu and open system details and force stop and clear.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DefTaker:
Hmm...I guess I'll hold off on doing a FULL WIPE since I think the 20120509 build is causing me some grief...I've re-flashed it 3 times and made sure to wipe both cache and dalvik-cache each time and still getting this where whenever a call is ended, I am booted out to the lockscreen <-- end call > automatically have my pattern lockscreen show up (even though I ended the call w/in seconds and I have my phone set up as to not go inactive until 2 minutes) and I have to redraw my lockscreen to get back into my phone.

I have noticed that without the lockscreen on, once a phone call is ended, you get kicked back out to the homescreen. <-- Is this supposed to be a feature? Because if it is, then there's a bug if a lockscreen is enabled!

I'd rather have it like the 5/8 build wherein after a phone call is ended, you stay within the dialer. :o
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Ashhong:
Pretty sure if you go to settings in the Phone app there is an option to select where you want to go after a call ends, or maybe that was GoContacts.

Also, if anything, a full wipe would FIX these little bugs that you are experiencing. I am running the latest nightly with no issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DefTaker:
By latest nightly you mean 5/10?

I know a full wipe would *most likely* fix this issue but I don't feel like wiping out my entire system for this. I'm hoping the 5/10 build fixes it.

And no, there is no setting in CM9 that allows me to revert back to "area of my choice".

That most likley is a GoContacts app solution. (I like GoSMSPro but don't care too much for their other products.)

We'll see...I'll be flashing the 5/10 build when I get home tonight. Otherwise I'll be doing a FULL WIPE. :rolleyes:

Is there anyway to get sense 4 task switcher on cm9 saw it on aokp and it looks pretty cool :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DefTaker:
Alright - it seems that being kicked out after ending a phone call is due to an app!

Gallery Lock (using STEALTH MODE) seems to trigger this reaction that whenever the call is ended, you are automatically booted all the way back to your lockscreen and must "log back in."

However, if you enter Gallery Lock via whatever password set up you have, and then end a call, you will stay within the dialer...so the workaround would be remove app or don't use stealth mode with Gallery Lock (I don't think this bug occurs when not using Gallery Lock's "stealth mode") or make sure to log in to Gallery Lock once after an initial power on or reboot.

Hope this helps others that might have this issue and this app!

There is a fairly exhaustive thread on APN's, but...

Take a look at your HSDPA access point. Almost everything on my phone is default. The APN is 'phone' and APN type is 'default,internet'. Depending on tower traffic I've gotten up to 9 Mb/s (Seattle/Queen Anne -- about 500 yards from tower).

CM9 is still very much a development effort. If you choose to use it then a certain amount of self reliance is required in resolving issues.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] elherr:
I'd defaulted APN's after flashing CM9 but got rather dodgy results. After consulting the Oracle at XDA (yes, I searched the forums -- *gasp*), I altered the APN type and got much better results. From what I've seen, APN type has a dramatic impact on network throughput. YMMV.

I've seen some people add 'broadband' to APN type but think this might be a bad idea as I've heard AT&T uses this tag to identify tethering.

Oh -- and by the way, CM9 is the best thing since booze and women of ill repute. ;-) A BIG thank you to Steve Kondik (Cyanogen) and his band of madhatters! If you like CM, DONATE! It only hurts a little bit... :-)
