My battery drains really fast too...

I just install - alpha 8.... Im having the same problem too.... either on wifi or 3G... my battery drains up very fast... is it a bug?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Sneddy:
Turn off phone and charge it till 100% . Let it stay as 100% for maybe an hour . Then turn on you phone and yeah, its done.

Had this bug before. Thats what i did, instead of an hour, I let it stay 100% for probably 6 hours. LOL but you can try 1 hour.

:)

Found a problem.

For those who can't see the pic, it says the wrong time on the notification drawer but the right time on beautiful widgets

Real time, 5.13 pm

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] kalamaja:
Same here. I have to reboot after each usage of sim toolkit application.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mstustun:
what about alpha 8? is the problem gone ? have u try yet?

Yes, this is fixed in Alpha8... thanks to Arco the Magic Genie!

Nickname not working on Message recipients

I just found out that the nicknames cannot be used in searching/adding recipients when sending a text message.

Though it is still can be used in searching for contacts.

By the way, I'm still using CM9 A7.

Gmail does not notify new email

Hi everybody,

i have noticed that Gmail application does not notify new incoming emails.

I have to launch manually the application and then tap on the update icon.

Moreover, if i delete an email on the smartphone, that mail is not deleted when i access Gmail using my computer.

Is anyone encountering the same issue?

edit: Me fool.

I had to activate email sync, through Settings --> Account and Synchronization --> Google

Bug report: Home Screen

I don't know if this "bug" was reported before, or its just a customization "uncheck button", but since the first Alpha (5) I've flashed, this is present.

When I install a new app, and the home screens are "full", it keeps poping that it "has no space in home screen for shortcut of that app" (equal the number of screens I use - in this case, 3), until it says "shortcut created in home screen".

The launcher creates a shortcut at the "unseen" screens, like the 4th or 5th.

I know that it is just needed to open config and launcher, habilitate the extra screens and erase the shortcuts, but this just spare time doing it, and even consumes more time booting (since there is more things to be loaded in the screens, even if you're not seeing then).

I'n actualy at Alpha 7 again, about to update to 8, but need to ask:

- Has this "hability" been corrected in this new build?

Thanks

You can disable this in the Play Store :)

SIM toolkit

I have also problem with the SIM Toolkit in CM9 alpha 8.

50 seconds after use the SIM Toolkit (m-banking) appears message to screen

"Unfortunatley, the process com.android.phone has stopped".

To use SIM toolkit again I have to restart the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] anson81:
I think is a bug

Just updated to alpha 8, once updated, trying to download some apps from market, the battery is still around 70%, suddenly it goes off, can't even switch it on, try to plug in the micro usb charger, it shows charging but blinking the battery icon,

try to remove the cable and plug in again, after few times of trying, saw the battery level up to 50%, and can switch on,
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SGWUser:
Wifi issue: When connecting, first minutes you can browse and everything. But after some minutes, the Wifi seems to be online but it is dead. I have wiped Cache & Dalvik Cache when updating to Build8. Now I'm gonna try to fix permissions. I hope there is an answer! Before Build8, everything was fine!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arco68:
Did it work in an earlier build, and if so, which one?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SGWUser:
You're a man of few words, Arco, but you're one of the best devs I've ever seen :) :good:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] kalamaja:
Not for me. I'm using CM9 from alpha6.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] wiki2001:
Sorry arco, I don`t know did SIM toolkit work in earlier versions well, because I started using CM9 from alpha8.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jon1011:
I just tried it and the SIM Toolkit worked for me.

I am currently using CM9 Alpha 7.

Maybe it depends on the service provider?

edit:

I also got the "Unfortunatley, the process com.android.phone has stopped" message after a few seconds.

But the request I sent using the SIM Toolkit still worked.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sanfiorano:
I have no problem with sim toolkit, currently i am using alpha 8

camera exposure doesn't work (alpha 8) but it work when using pudding camera (-0.5 to +0.5 only)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sigprof:
At least in alpha 8 there is a localization problem with the contact group names — the names of three standard groups in Google contacts (Coworkers, Family, Friends) are always shown in English, even though the phone language is set to Russian (also tried to switch to French and German for testing, but the names remained the same, so it is not just a missing Russian translation problem). These groups also cannot be renamed manually (this is probably correct — they cannot be renamed in the Gmail web interface too, but they are shown with Russian names there). In the stock 2.3.6 ROM these groups were shown with localized names.

A partial workaround is to create custom groups with localized names from the phone (doing it from the web interface is impossible, because it shows the original group with the same name and does not allow duplicate group names), then move contacts there and delete them from the original group (at this point the web interface hides the standard group and shows only the custom one). However, this still leaves empty standard groups with English names (Coworkers, Family, Friends) visible on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] tievolu:
I saw some oddness with the wifi on Alpha 8 this morning. Not quite the same as your issue though.

I was connected to my home wifi just fine, then I drove off in my car while starting Google Navigation. I got about a mile away from my house and realised my phone still thought it was connected to my home router (clearly not true!), but obviously it couldn't get any data from the network. I had to manually disable wifi to force it to use 3G instead and load the navigation instructions. I never saw this with Alpha 7, although I only upgraded to CM9 from stock a few days ago, starting with Alpha 7.

I should also mention that after taking the plunge and finally installing this firmware it's like I have a new phone - excellent work by everyone involved. :cool:

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] XR-7:
I guess that its WLAN that causes battery drain.

I have already measured battery consumption without it over night, and will now re-measure with WLAN enabled, so will be interesting to compare the numbers.

---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 PM ----------

I saw that Arco already fixed that today, should be okay in the next build :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] DirtyFrank1977:
I've got the following issues:

- Battery drain, possibly due to not working deep sleep mode. With Bluetooth turned off, deep sleep works on my W (please verify).

- DSP Manager sometimes stops working when using Apollo player (music on headset suddenly becomes "flat"). The settings of DSP are still accessible and can be changed, but settings have no effect. Closing and restarting DSP and/or Apollo restore DSP function (temporarily).

Despite that - great work and many thanks to arco! With Alpha 8 the W is a completely different phone (compared to stock ROM). No lags and more stable. Keep up your good work!

have no time to do a fresh install.. can anyone try?

ALPHA 8
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] gold2dragon:
on this alpha 8, i feel my battery drain so fast. better to use alpha 7. so far just battery problem, some user tried to change their kernel with another resources and it works, save more battery. ohya, i just want to ask, is it just me or what, i can drop down my status bar when my phone is locked, is it kind of bug ? sorry for my bad english

i can use twitter on alpha 8, have u try to clear cache on twitter ? re-install maybe ?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] LittleDoggy:
Really found the battery to be fine in build 8 and just the same as build 7 so I don't see any battery drain apart from when I flashed it the first time and need to recalibrate it several times.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] tievolu:
I'm seeing battery drain issues with Bluetooth as well. With Bluetooth turned off the battery is lasting much longer when the phone is sleeping. I could leave Bluetooth turned on all day on stock without it having any significant impact on power consumption.

I think this was happening in A7 as well as A8.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Fensterbank:
lol in one hour and 30 minutes display on, I lost 13% of battery.

for me the battery life in cm9 is really crap in compare with stock rom. in stock rom I get 2 days and in cyanogen mod maybe one day. I dont know why, does anyone has an idea, or has someone the same problem? I have wlan and mobile data just active when I need it.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] gold2dragon:
compared to stock rom, maybe yes that stock rom save more battery. but this rom get the performance than stock rom. the problem is, alpha 8 is not as efficient as last alpha7.

ohya, i found unfortunately stop on - Action Snap Pro. cannot open the app
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] hundred_miles_high:
How do you do so well with your battery life?

My SGW has NEVER lasted two days - even on just very light use (display brightness at 40%, wifi on and connected all day, 3G off, bluetooth off).

The most I get from mine on stock xxlm8 (even from brand new) is about a day and a half MAX - no games, no music, no browsing the web - just essential call, email and sms :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] azhiekurosaki:
I have been using CM9 ALpha 8 in two days and I think, Alpha 7 has good battery usage. I found this when I try to leave my phone on deep sleep when I was asleep.

when I was using alpha 7, my battery drained 15 % for 7 hours and couple minutes. and now, in alpha 8, my battery drain 17% in only 5 hours and couple minutes. but I will make sure again about this in a week, coz i think the battery and this ROM still need "to get to know each other". and maybe they will make out.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] babribeiro:
Room installed as guide says

On my side what i feel is :

A bit laggy on:

Opening messaging

Scrolling Play Store.

Going to apps after 5 min in home screen

Laggy opening calender ( Using Smooth calender app )

Apparently getting more laggy after 5 hours or so.

""" Governor: Interactive

""" Min CPU Freq: 245

Didn't try with performance since i rarely never use it.

Battery seems to drain normal, but can only say something after some time.

I am comparing to stock rom since i did not install previous versions of CM9
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
I was told it´s a feature of ICS. I HATE this feature. A lockscreen has to lock the ENTIRE screen, not just parts of it, else it´s not a lockscreen and useless for me.

Currently I´m using the pattern lockscreen, but there the phone is often doing emergency calls while it´s in my pocket due to a to sensitive touchscreen.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jon1011:
It depends on what type of screen lock you are using.

I am also using the pattern screen lock so that the status bar would be disabled when it is locked.

As honeyx has said, a lock screen should lock the entire screen.

Try to check the other screen locks and see what works well for you. :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:
Why you wanna lock apps in CM9 ICS ?

It is already tweaked for it....;)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Thiso:
you need to do that in your launcher settings. I don't know if trebuchet has that option though. I'm using APEX launcher at the moment
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Fensterbank:
I used github and then i got a problem.

suddenly the boot animation comes, and I had to turn off the device (i dont know, if it would turn off itself, when I havnt had keep pushing the power button).

Do just I have this problem (its not the first time)?

I dunno if I had the same issue like this guy, because normally the boot animation dont apear, when the device turn off.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] needya:
I wonder if it is possible to use this method to activate the soft keys on CM9? :)

Yes it, but what's the point? We have physical buttons :D

After full wipe/format, reinstalling baseband and reflashing CM9, still no wifi for me. Stuck on 'Turning Wi-Fi on...'.By the way I checked the wifi on the stock ROM before flashing CM9 and it was fine.This looks a superb ROM but Wifi is simply irreplaceable for me. Any help would be welcome.

I've got a problem with facebook, the initial screen is blank, but no problem with twitter
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jon1011:
Did you try to clear your facebook cache?

Go to Manage Apps, look for facebook, then clear cache. :)

That should do the trick, works well with me.

If it still doesn't work, try rebooting after clearing the cache.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Just goggle for Facebook and blank screen. You will find thousands of entries. Not just related to us or Android. There are people who are getting this issue even on their desktop PC´s running Firefox or IE. I also had this happen with the FB app on my stock ROM till there was an update which fixed it. On CM9 i got it once. Right after installing it and running the very first time. So there is less to blame this rom but the crappy FB app.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] tievolu:
I agree that the Facebook app is a POS but I never saw this happen on stock. There's also the fact that this occasionally happens in the Gmail app as well, when viewing mails, but it's not completely clear whether these two issues have the same root cause. They are very similar though, at least from what I've seen - page is blank but everything appears when you drag the screen around, disappearing again when you stop dragging.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
It happened to me with the XXLA2 rom. I was forced to use the browser for a while. So I more belive all the issues you are having with apps like FB, twitter and GMail are because they finally got them working well on GB, but not yet on ICS or JB.

If you search the web and take a look at the posting, there are a lot of old ones related to GB and custom ROMs based on GB, but a lot of new ones related to ICS, JB and custom ROMs based on them.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SGWUser:
Whitescreen-bug not only on Facebook: also Tweakers.net Androidworld.nl & The Verge. I think it has something to do with the internet, because those apps are just a frame that loads web-pages.

Battery life is extremely good. Anyway, I'm facing a problem where the battery will completely drain itself when I try to enable data connection or playing a video (even when the battery status is 99%). Can anyone suggest a solution for my problem?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] XR-7:
I strongly guess it is by far more likely a rendering isssue. If there would be an issue with the content itself, there would some errors by the applicatio logic. Furthermore, you can bypass the error e.g. in Facebook, if you show the sidebar on the left side - the content then re-appears, and it hides again when you blend out the sidebar.

But what all those apps have in common (FB, Verge?, Gmail), is that they use android components to display html, as many apps do in order so unified development of web and app user access.

So the rendering of the WebView-component should be investigated or at least be noticed as connected to the problem.

Adding photos to contacts problem

Hello,

I found a new problem...

I was manually adding photos to my contacts yesterday.

How I did it: Contacts -> select contact -> edit -> click the photo icon -> Choose photo from gallery -> using Gallery -> select the picture.

When I was down with the last contact, I couldn't add the photo to that contact.

I was getting "couldn't load the image".

I thought that it was a problem with the image, so I

replaced

the picture on the folder.

But then, when I'm browsing through the pictures in my gallery, the old picture stays there and the new one does not show up.

So I tried the other way around, choose photo from gallery -> using OI File Manager, but nothing happens.

I even tried going to the OI File Manger -> hold touch the photo -> more -> Contact photo, but I'm getting "Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped."

Lastly, I tried deleting the thumbnails folder and rebooting, hoping that the pictures in my Gallery will be refreshed, but it is still there.

I think the gallery photos are cached somewhere else.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SGWUser:
I can take pics, but after destroying those files it takes a bit longer to start the Camera apps. Sometimes FC, or you can start it again. :)
