I was running faux123's kernel and the compass is off. Re-flashed the 5/14 nightly so I'd be on the CM9 kernel and the compass is still off.

I work with a couple of guys running stock on a Galaxy Nexus (toro, not toroplus). I'll ask them about the compass.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] umbra6:
That was me suggesting that. I've tried a bunch of the various roms with kernels and the only one the compass works with is stock rom with the stock kernel. One thing I haven't tried yet is to load one of the custom kernels with the stock rom and test that. That would definitely determine if its a kernel problem. I think I will try that next...

As an aside, google nav seems to work once you get moving but when you stop it starts jumping around.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattallica76:
If I remember correctly, the Compass worked normally for me on the stock rooted ROM with Franco kernel.

Edit: Never-mind, I wasn't remembering correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] umbra6:
I just loaded the nandroid of my stock rom with stock kernel and test the compass and it worked right. i walked around the block of my office to test it and it worked spot on.

I flashed the Franco kernel and it was back to the messed up state with West as North...well you get the picture. So this is definitely a kernel thing. Stock CM9 comes with a custom kernel as well so this is why the compass is off with just CM9 flashed.

I tried the stock rom with Franco, Faux, and James Bond kernels and the outcome was the same for all of them. I even restored my nandroid of stock before flashing each of these kernels and the compass was still messed up. The only kernel that the compass doesnt skip a beat is the stock kernel the phone came with.

Now if there was a way to extract the stock kernel and test it with CM9 that would be the true test...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peabody42:
Thanks for the time and testing. Maybe we can get the kernel creators in on this to see if they have any ideas? Don't know if it's acceptable to post a general question to kernel authors in this forum with this topic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ragnar:
Maybe these posts should be made in the kernel thread not here.

Sent from a phone...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattallica76:
They pertain to the CM9 kernel as well (which does not have it's own thread). Basically, any kernel other than stock causes the compass sensors to go haywire.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ragnar:
I understand you but if the stock CM9 kernel works then there is no issue and no one should be posting problems with the compass. Now they changed kernel and as Wtogami said have changed the integrity of the rom as it comes then they need to voice those issues in this thread of the kernel they flashed. Yes mention it here but do not look for support or a fix here, that would have to be on the kernel side and the developer of the kernel.

Food for thought, most of the kernels developed where developed for the VZN Gnex has anyone considered that maybe there's something specifically different between the devices when it comes to the compass?

Not being argumentative, just pointing out the obvious. I haven't seen a single one of the posters here post in the kernel thread advising of the issue. It's not going to get done if they do not take this conversations to their respective thread.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
Problem affects CM9 kernel also, see below.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] umbra6:
Actually, I just ran the tests today to verify that it is indeed a kernel issue and not an issue with CM9 that causes the compass error. The tests I did were to help the other users of CM9 that were having an issue with the compass. It may seem obvious now that it is a kernel issue since someone just verified this. This is why I suggested earlier trying to extract the stock kernel from the stock rom and running it on CM9...to fix this issue with this ROM. It would be senseless for me to ask a kernel dev in their thread that may not be using CM9 to try and fix the kernel that comes with this ROM. They may not even have a Sprint Gnex. No one even had an idea of why the compass got jacked when installing custom roms. I know this because I searched for the solution beforehand.

As far as the "stock" CM9 kernel working, as you said, with the compass and other GPS related apps..it doesn't correctly. The kernel that comes with CM9 is a modified kernel which as you said may be from a Verizon Gnex or even a GSM Gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ragnar:
Well I can tell you for a fact that using stock CM9 the compass works perfectly. The gentleman posting that might have being using a GPS app and did not clear his data. I have run stock CM9 and the compass is dead on perfect, unless the polar points have moved since this is 2012.:D if screen shots are needed to verify they will be gladly provided later this evening. But I am sure any user who is running a true clean CM9 will verify and back up this.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] umbra6:
Part of the test I did earlier today was installing the out of the box CM9 Rom with nothing. I side loaded the compass app as well as GPS Status. Same deal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattallica76:
Just wiped data (full wipe) before flashing today's nightly and compass is still jacked (all over the place with no consistency). Flashed back to stock rooted and compass works fine. Flash any kernel and compass is broken again. As previously stated, GPS and Navigation work fine as long as you are moving as they rely on GPS data for bearings and headings while moving. But while at a standstill the compass points in random directions because the compass sensors do not appear to be reporting accurately.

Can anyone confirm a working compass ? The only thing I really need it for is SkyMaps.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] umbra6:
Same here :). Thats the only thing I need it for. This guy is computerized but I use Sky Maps just for general browsing...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Redneck Trash:
The compass doesn't work properly with the CM9 kernel. Other kernels are being discussed because we were trying to determine if it was specific kernels or all custom kernels experiencing it. It's known as troubleshooting.

Moving forward, are we sure it's kernel related? Is there anything else that could be causing the problem?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Xparent Red Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] umbra6:
It has to be kernel related. I tried the said kernels on the stock rom with the same result...messed up compass/GPS. Stock out of the box kernel the compass/gps works correctly...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peabody42:
I really didn't and don't mean to harp on CM9. The only reason why I fully documented everything was to try to see if I could tell where the problem was. Someone in the CM9 IRC channel suggested I try reverting to stock, checking it, then flashing CM9.

My results are earlier in this thread. Short version: full revert to stock = compass works. Installing CM9 cleanly, without flashing a different kernel = compass doesn't work.

I don't mean to be causing problems here. Just trying to help out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattallica76:
No problem man. Had you not pointed it out I would be going into the woods this weekend with broken sky map. Now I know I can at least flash a stock nandroid beforehand if its not fixed by then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Redneck Trash:
I remembered you tried the stock ROM but forgot you tried different kernels with it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ragnar:
Well I went back to stock unrooted and checked the compass, it worked, north was north, south was south. Rooted and tested again, again same results, worked correctly. Restored latest cm9 nightly nandroid and again same exact results worked perfectly correct. Flashed Samurai kernel and guess what it worked correctly north north, south south etc..Flashed Franco kernel and it started giving me erratic readings. Re flashed Samurai kernel and got erratic readings as well. If I shake the phone and try it sometimes it works right sometimes inverts north and south. Wiped factory restore and re installed cm9 nightly nandroid tested again and it worked correctly. Been doing this for the past 3 hours. Can say that something about changing the kernel affects it but both times I went completely clean with cm9 on nandroid restore its worked correctly. Those are my findings now every device is different and might get different results.

Anybody notice the new "Snapshot" build yesterday?

http://jenkinsmanifest.clockworkmod.com/device/toroplus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Acedooncoon:
I have...but like is it any different than what we already have on the Nightlies?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wtogami:
A few minor bugs were fixed, and all those fixes will appear in future nightlies. Compass filter makes the compass behave less crazy... unfortunately though the compass is still backwards. We're still looking into this.

If you appreciate our work, please consider supporting the CM9 developers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chasew83:
if there is a new snapshot why is it not on get.cm or rom manager?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] myepicyear:
I'm unsure, to tell you the truth my friend.

Its very possible that it is just a "Snapshot" build in name.

By that, I mean that maybe its just the classification that the build name was given, due to it being a snapshot of all the fixes that have been merged since the last snapshot. So Wtogami probably never meant it to circulate, and only uploaded it for personal reference. It seems like he didn't think it was an important or significantly different enough build from the nightly builds we're seeing, so maybe he just didn't want to get a bunch of people all riled up and excited, thinking that it's equivalent to a stable or release build label, when in reality,many people have no idea what all these different labels even mean, and are just confused by their differences in general. They seem to be slowly transitioning to a new labeling system for builds, but are still not unified in the overall decision of what the exact changes should be.

Beautiful battery stats :D

What build are you on? I'm not even getting half of that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nickhernandez:
When going from an old nightly (2 weeks ago) to the latest snapshot, do I need to do a full wipe?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
5/14 but I'm not stock, I'm running the samurai kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Griemster1:
So I can run cm9 with samurai kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Yes. You might also want to change the governor to on demand and stay off interactive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] myepicyear:
Only cache and Dalvik wipe necessary

No sir. The only things that you need to wipe are cache and dalvik cache when flashing from build to build of CM. However, in certain situations, it's not a bad idea, maybe even encouraged. The only time that would really be, is if the current state of your CM ROM is buggy,lagging, or "broken", due to things like restoring old data, etc.. Buts that's the only circumstance in which data might need wiping.

If your experience with CM9 is currently smooth sailing, then just wipe that cache+dalvik cache, and enjoy the ROM that brings the Galaxy to life. :)

Google Wallet Failure

I just got off the phone with Google about my Google Wallet app not working at point of purchase. It worked once and now doesn't work at all. The rep said that because the phone is rooted Wallet will no longer work, and even if I flash back to stock it may still not work anymore because my email is now associated with a rooted phone. Is anyone else experiencing problems at point of sale with Wallet on CM9? I am on the latest nightly with stock kernel. Like I said, Wallet worked for me once on CM9 but that was it. I'm kind of pissed I didn't spend all the money in one swoop that first time :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattallica76:
I had an issue once where Wallet wouldn't work at point of sale, but a reboot solved the issue for me. Not sure if it makes a difference, but the latest version of Wallet started asking for SU permissions. So far I have denied it SU.

Working in a call center I'm gonna say that rep was pulling it out his ass. Sounds like the kinda answer someone who barely knows what they're talking about would say.

Help Needed: Compass Issue

We are still working on fixing the inverted/drifting compass issue in CM9 for toroplus. Apparently this also affects other Samsung devices like AT&T Skyrocket and AT&T Galaxy Note which have different chipsets from toroplus. The commonality between them is LTE. Have people tried other custom ROM's for toroplus like AOKP, TeamEOS, and is compass working there?

cm9 nightly

Currently running may 17th nightly with franco kernel nightly 162. This is the longest ive been able to achieve. I think i found my phones sweet spot.

Overclocked to 1.4

Wifi always on

Data/3g off. Only on when needed

Few phone calls and some txting

Web browsing.

No heating issues as well.

The only problems I've had so far are...

Play Music will randomly just stop playing via bluetooth. Like, once every couple of days uptime. Turning bluetooth on and off fixes it.

I was paying with Google Wallet today, and I moved the phone to put my pin in, and it flipped it's **** and I had to reboot it. The transaction still finished, but it kept trying to do it over and over again. Probably would happen on everyone elses phone too, just keep it on the pad when your putting your pin in.

Systemui force closes once a day or so. I think this is because I was using it with ICS Reloaded and I havent done a full wipe since way before the nav bar customizaion was merged into CM9.

No reboots, no wake locks, good battery life (13 hours with some facebook and lots of google voice texting, two or three 5 minute calls, no wifi 3g only).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] umbra6:
Most everything works for me. Only thing that is "off" for me is the compass. An app I use frequently, Google Sky Map, is messed up because of this. Nav works when youre moving though. Cams, video, Wallet, all work perfectly for me.

Other than the messed compass, everything works. This is my daily driver ROM. I get about 18 hours of battery life a day on average. The features outweigh the compass for me. I know they'll figure it out one of these days. Just like they figured out Wimax on CM7 on the Evo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] broad_st_bully:
ok thanks.:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wtogami:
I just tried this. Flashed back to FD02 stock, compass works perfect. Then restored my CM9 nandroid backup and flashed the franco kernel before rebooting into CM9. Compass remains inverted here.

Did your procedure differ from this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] umbra6:
I clicked your link but there is nothing in there for toroplus. This is what I get when I select the device:

"There has been no changes since the latest nightly."

anyone else's device getting hot while A/C charging?

also, as soon as I unplugged it from the charger it dropped from 100% to 94%...haven't seen that since my OG Evo...this GNex usually holds the charge pretty damn good...

Contact sprint or go into the app and go to the card... there should be the option to "contact us" this should bring you up to a claims service for the Money Network... i think i dunno i havent pressed it so im assuming.

source tree

I last tried the may 6 build and it worked fairly well :) i had to revert to stock though for now.

My question is whether the source tree has been cleaned up for this in git. I tried building from source and had to hack away at the vendor tree and still didn't get a good build. IIRC the extract-files.sh wasn't working (didn't recognize toroplus.) but i'd have to go back and look.

Anyone else having that problem?

EDIT: in other words, are there files like makefiles perhaps in the nightly builds that have not been checked in?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] broad_st_bully:
did you click "computer" in windows explorer (or whatever in mac)?

once I uploaded one of the nightlies the window to open the files doesn't pop up anymore when I attach the usb but if I click "computer" it shows "Galaxy Nexus" in there and I can open & see the files through there.

if that don't work use airdroid app to access your files...or any bluetooth or wifi file manager...

Hey all. One frustrating issue. In settings, I have screen tap sounds and lock sounds enabled. In spite of this, I hear nothing when doing either. My volume is up and I've tried rebooting, wiping cache and dalvik. I was on a build that was a couple of days old but I just updated (without wiping) to the newest. Is this a known issue or am I just gonna have to wipe everything and reflash?

Thanks!

Edit: also just saw a post about customizing the nav bar. Is color customizable? Haven't seen that feature in this rom.

Hey all...for anyone else who is (like me) having troubles with Google Wallet this article should give you a little bit of solace. It seems that, even with a non-rooted phone on a stock ROM, Wallet is pretty finicky:

Circle battery mod which used to work with previous nightlies doesn't play nice with most recent one. Results in error in system UI, can't click "ok," pressing power button brings up shutdown/reboot options but behind the error window, and no touches work.

Clean install/wipe/CM9 5/29 nightly/GAPPS = works fine. Adding the circle battery mod immediately after, or flashing it after first working boot = not working/system UI error.

Compass still out of whack.

But thanks for all the hard work!
