When looking at my battery stats, the Media Server is always taking up over 50% of the usage. I get great battery when the phone is sleeping, but when I am using it, it drops like crazy. Is this a known issue? I know people have been having battery issues with this room but is the Media Server the problem of those?

Gonna try this and report back

Thanks for checking this. I didn't get to yet because im working lol. But thanks for testing it out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Hekademos:
im having the same issue with every ICS rom available. Media Server hangs arounds 50% and Media is at 20%. The android music player also cannot see any of my music on either sd card and the system cant see any of my custom ringtones on either sd no matter where i put them. I imagine these two issues are related since its the media scanners job to automatically scan for new music.

Ive done a search on the subject and found in few places that a corrupt media file can cause this issue so im currently rebuilding and repairing all of my mp3s (yikes)and seeing if that helps. Im not confident it will though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dopippen45:
I am having the same problem. media server takes up about 55% of cpu process when looking at battery stats...i also have been monitoring cpu with cpu spy and did not see the phone go into deep sleep until i usb connected phone to computer so maybe something in external sd?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Cjconry:
Also. I tried to update superuser and it failed to mount system as read/write. As if my device were not rooted....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Hekademos:
No dice on repairing all my media files. I still think it's a failure of the ROM to load/scan media files and is hanging on that process.

Should a new thread be started for this bug since it's apparent on all the variations of ics?

Sorry if this was mentioned, but is anybody having problems using the netfilx app? Is this related to the app or the rom?

New rc3 build, definitely the best ics build for me so far. Its the only one I've tried that doesn't give me random freezing. Its silky smooth and quicker than others. Other than the issue with setting lockscreen wallpaper (which is a known issue), all is great. Thanks raver, your a rockstar!!

BlackEdition RC-3

Hey there.

First time posting at XDA. Noticed someone posting in the devs forum for Blackedition without response.

@RaverX3X. I noticed when I first flashed that wasn't recognizing sim card right off the bat. Re-flashed and okay.

Quick question about font and box colors. I'm noticing when a box or notification pops up; eg from Titanium backup that the box background color is grey and the font is grey aswell, making it very difficult to see. Is this a bug?

PS: awesome rom, loving the ICS on my T989D

Swype working?

Will swype work on this rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Locksmith81:
Works Fine

I can confirm, I installed swype from DJDarkKnight and works flawlessly

There is NO WIF-CALLING, yet. There are also apps in market to switch between different Bands.

GPS locks fast and works perfect.

If you guys are having any problems, ever, first try to wipe cahe partition and Dalvik cache and reboot.... do that first.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] perknite:
Regarding GPS lock...

I've noticed that with several of the ICS ROMs I had trouble with GPS - until I turned on all 3 location sources in System Settings. Then the lock is almost instantaneous. If you don't have any "Big Brother" conspiracy fears then this is a pretty quick and easy fix.:D

Question for Raver

Raver,

Great ROM (so glad I picked the right device to follow you from the SGS4G:p). I do have a question.

What about EasyDoesIt is different from BlackEdition that makes video recording possible? (This is curiosity and educational for me:p.)

I enjoyed your BlackEdition for some time, but I found myself missing one thing - video recording. (I had a few special moments I was able to capture when using Gingerbread and don't want to be "not ready" for other special spontaneous moments with our child:).) That's the only reason I'm not using your's and am using the latest EasyDoesIt. I guess if you're not sure, maybe comparing the code with EasyDoesIt (not sure)?

Like I said, just curious... and maybe you and chasport(?) can exchange notes?

Always enjoy your work:D!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hinghing1113:

sorry to ask a stupid question.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] seshsud:
I am on: 2.3.6/UVKL1/GingersnapV1.2 and would love to get this ROM.....

So I backup all my apps with titanium backup, go in recovery mode, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, apply this ROM and reboot?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jdiddy_ub:
forgive me for asking (i didnt see a Q&A thread for this rom..or else i wouldve posted this there) but since auto-rotation is broken what happens if i lock my phone in portrait mode but i open an app that as its orientation default landscape? would the app not work? or would it be unusable cause the orientation is wrong?

ive read that there are a few apps that are broken due to the auto-rotation issue and so im hesitant to flash this...

also...has anyone encountered the call echo issue? and if so, have you tried flashing the blaze modem to fix it?

1 more question...if i use one of those force orientation apps from the market..would that work to force the orientation for the camera correctly? i read that the camera apks are flipped..portrait = landscape and vice versa

thanks in advance

edit: disregard the top part...i posted that in the dev thread and just copied and pasted it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jahrule:
As far as the rotation is concerned. It is just opposite so your phone won't blow up or anyhting. If you search through the threads you will see different apps that people are using to cope with the issue. Flashing the blaze modem and others work for some people and not for others so really just got to try it out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jdiddy_ub:
im aware of the work arounds...which is what my question is referring to...if i use one of those apps that locks the rotation would it work to fix the camera orientation as well? im asking specifically about the camera apk because it isn't simply a normal app...its a system app which may or may not have different principles? idk, thats why im asking...i know people are saying take the picture and then rotate it after you take it..i dont want to do that...i want to know if the rotation lock will indeed make portrait = portrait and landscape=landscape for the camera

also...you never answered my question about how the apps open...if i lock my phone in portrait mode, what happens if i open an app that is displayed in landscape? i hope my phone doesnt blow up :) but does the app open correctly if at all? or are those apps the "broken" ones
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RaverX3X:
if u lock in portrat and open a app thats landscape it will be landscape as the orientation issue deals with the launcher and launch area properties some apps that require the use of the accelerometer are affected but any apps that just require a diffrent landscape are fine.

What process is using most of your battery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] geofferiswheel:
Hey there. Since the kernel isn't designed for t989(unless something has changed), battery life can be poor. For now. When I check mine it looks like my screen is still eating up most of my battery.

I can get almost all day on 1 charge, but just barely.

Just the regular stuff. Turn off wifi when not using. Turn off GPS. Turn off sync. And I do auto brightness to help.

I hope that helps.

Should I Flash? Where Do I Start?

Hello RaverX3X and to All,

I just bought my TMobile Galaxy S II yesterday coming from the Sensations (never had any problems just want the bigger Icons and keyboard other than that loved the phone) I am interested in flashing the rom found http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1531189 am I in the correct thread to ask questions about that rom? If I am can some one tell me where I start the process to be able to flash roms onto my phone? Also where does the rom stand as far as functionality? I will be using this phone for my business as I have the HD7 for my personal so you can see my serious need for reliability. Phone calls, GPS to get to customers house, checking my emails and faxes. Dropbox etc. :confused:

Thanks for all responses and help

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] geofferiswheel:
Thanks for that. I'll try it.

I noticed the separation, but miss when I go to hold the power for a second and then go to silent without vibration. Beyond that, loving the ROM

Thanks again.

Is this ROM a daily driver?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mimicvii:
I guess it would depend on what you can live with/without.

Known issues are:

- Shutdown/reboot lockups (Just hold down the power button for 10 seconds as a workaround)

- Rotation bug (This is fixed now per the Rotation patch posted today)

- Video recording doesn't work.

- Video playback issues (Youtube works fine, which is really the only video I watch on my phone anyway)

- No WiFi calling

- Instagram locks up/reboots the phone (It's a problem with the ICS leak in general, even the Skyrocket has the problem. Pixlr-o-matic is better than Instagram anway....)

I've been using it for a week now and outside of those issues, it's been solid for me, absolutely no problems. I'm still running RC2 however, just to avoid some of the odd quirks people have found with RC3.

If you are on the US or Canadia, you can use GrooveIP for free calls for the remaining of this year using your Google Voice account with it.

apps for call/text

Hey iLoveAndroid13,

for calling use Bobsled Calling... its a REALLY GOOD APP... by the way, I use the Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 US Version and it works good for me.

and for texting... just use TextPlus, there's nothing bad in it, but its only good use for you if you want to text to US/Canada.

I heard Whatsapp Messenger is good too.. but its not compatible with my device. :(

Anyhow, I used to use GrooveIP but stopped because the quality is bad.

Hope I helped!

You Don't unless you have a GV account. And unfortunately for people living outside North America, there are no "free" options that i know of. You can however, if your country is supported, get a "paid" number from Skype and make very low cost calls.

I'm in Canada and we just got a free app called "Dell Voice" which gives you a free "local" number with which you can make unlimited local calls and unlimited long distance calls to any cellphone/landline to most areas in Canada. And Dell Voice to Dell Voice is always free anywhere in the world.

With all due respect, that's why you buy a cell phone as the Galaxy Note

this device is to use the Player as a phone and not really uncomfortable carried it
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kfirbep:
I know but sometimes i give to my friends the player so they can play and i go to do other stuff.

And if i forget to take it with me so i wont have a phone.

And if i want to take it so i can surf in internet or something like that and i walk from this device more than 10 meters i cant recieve any calls.

Or if you go to the bathroomthat are more than 10 meters distance and the player is on your desk you wont recive calls.

If they were doing it really small so i can put it in my galaxy case or make a device that is connect to the the player it was great because than you always recive calls.

Its really great idea but its not so comfortable to make the device be all the time near the player
