In Speedtest, I'm getting around 1400 kbps on build 40, whereas from this same location I consistently got 14000 kbps on Darkside. It's not noticeable while just using the phone for me, though. And I've only gotten a few boot loops and lockups, so it's not a big deal to me. I got more lockups on other ROMs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
Anyone getting an FC on AOSP Weather? It closes every time I try and access the graph.

Thats the only bug i've encountered.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] timosuomi:
My setup, btw, is build 40 from a fresh install. I've had one boot loop that actually occurred while viewing this thread in Tapatalk. Since then I switched to Eugene's latest kernal and got one lockup while the phone was in my pocket in silent/vibrate mode. A force reboot resulted in wifi being on and sound also being on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobpantsspongesquare:
TBH, I had to do this on stock. I may be wrong but, I don't see how any ROM can affect charging if the device is off as the ROM is not running. That would be a lower level issue that the ROM has nothing to do with. Again, I may be wrong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CAYCE_VII:
clean install? cause that used to be a bug a while ago but it was fixed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PJcastaldo:
Without sounding rude.... your wrong. This is an issue on ASOP roms only.

Can someone please confirm if this big persists in your build 40 aokp? When I try to set contact image and open gallery to choose contact image, if i swipe my finger fastly to the left to select the image from center or end of gallery, if i click on any photo, another photo is selected to be cropped instead of the clicked one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
Yeah totally clean install. DS super wipe, then radio, then rom, then gaaps. This is the only bug I am encountering.

Could it be the gaaps package Im flashing? I got it from the OP on rootz wiki.

i did the above as my method of install and now when i boot up i see "samsung" then the phone remains black the entire time. also I can't get into recovery. i would appreciate some help please.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
How do you attempt to boot into recovery? I had a black screen yesterday after flashing a new kernel. I held the power button, volume up and volume down buttons all at the same time. The phone reboots and after the first vibrate stop pressing the power button but keep holding volume up and volume down until you are in recovery.

I don't know if that helps much, but that's what I did and it fixed my problem.

Try disabling AOKP statistics, whitehawkx has mentioned it might be a cause of the random reboots

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobpantsspongesquare:
I don't see that you're being rude but, I know for a fact that if I ran my batt to 0, I had to charge for a few minutes before anything would show. That said, how exactly could a ROM affect this situation? If the phone is off, the ROM is, in a sense.

Yeah. It didn't work for me either. Still got a random reboot after disabling and restarting.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] greenmaze:
Love this ROM so far. I get random reboots and get stuck on the AOKP splash page, but I'm not too concerned about that. My only issue is with facebook. I rarely use the app (maybe twice a day for 2 mins) and have refresh, location services, and notifications disabled, but it still consumes more battery than anything else.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobpantsspongesquare:
That didn't answer the question as, had you read my post completely, you'd know I experienced the charge issue with stock. The question remains, how can a ROM affect hardware behavior, specifically charging and progress display of such, with the phone being off?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PJcastaldo:
Then your the only person... ever... who experienced this issue on a stock rom. It has something to do with Tue many changes that had to be made in order for an ASOP rom to run on this device. Was also a bug back on the Vibrant too until it was eventually worked out.

I'm so sad about build 40. I've been getting a lot of reboots today and had a period of about 15 min of bootloop even with hard restarts and battery pull. Seems to be better now but still getting it. It's just saddening bc I never had this problem on previous builds. :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
Is there a way to get to the bottom of this. I've had only one reboot and that was with the test kernel. I've been flashing since 6/20 build. The last three have been dirty flashes. Yet there is reports of clean flashes having this issue. Can it be hardware somehow? :confused:

Ive been using AOKP for some time, and only one random reboot. Others say the same, some say they never get them, some say they get them several times a day? That's the part thats confusing me.

For all of you reporting bootloops, screen lockups, freezes, whatever.

Just so you all know, it's useless information unless you post a logcat along with it.

There is no way for whitehawkx to troubleshoot the issue LET ALONE FIX IT.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] budjb:
So how do we help with the powered off charging problem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kevinbear:
one thing would be to go back to stock ics and verify that charging is still behaving as expected. It doesn't really make much sense for a ROM to be affecting the device when it's not running at all. That should, in theory, be all hardware and firmware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
I did this using the TWRP .zip queue function. 3rd time installing an AOSP rom this way, AFTER reverting to a gingerbread backup and modem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
ROMS have a lot to do with charging. A phone with a corrupt ROM will not charge. Plus ROMS are considered firmware.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 8Fishes:
Times have changed in the last decade or so.

Phones are no longer sporting those reliable mechanical parts in favor of software based components to get form factors smaller and more compact. The rom and especially kernal has everything to do with the phone, regardless of it being off or not. It's what controls the hardware. Without it, as others have said, the phone isn't even going to charge in a blank/corrupt state. It's the same reason why hard bricking means phone doesn't even turn on via power button. What controls that wonderful power button? The rom. What allows the phone to turn on in the 'off state'? The rom. Even when the phone is 'off', it's still 'on' to listen for the turn on command.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] awrnsmn:
Same issue here, but I'm not watching movies. I loose 5% adv hour in deep sleep. Even looking under battery stats will not reveal the issue. I am using cpu spy to ensure its making it to deep sleep. Anyone else with battery drain issues? (Yes, I've calibrated the battery)

Thanks

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kevinbear:
I understand all that, except that the Rom shouldn't be running until the bootloader tells it to start. Bricking is caused by something corrupting the firmware or in some cases actually wrecking the hardware. This is why certain parts of the firmware are locked by default.

Now I'm no expert by any means, but this has been my understanding.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] awrnsmn:
From what I understand there still is software controlling the charging. Ex...not let it overcharge, shutting it down at a certain percentage while it charges. Part of the phone is running, that is why you get the battery icon when you plug it in while the phone is powered off. While the GUI is probably not running, some software is indeed on while charging.

If we run the battery down to 0 can we turn phone on at all or do we need a external charger

Then I suggest flashing back to stock if its a brick risk until this is fixed
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kevinbear:
I believe it does charge, albeit slowly, it just doesn't indicate it at all. I know I was able to charge mine up enough to turn it on before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jangst123:
No reboots here!

But then again I did a data factory reset then formatted then erased both SD cards

Then wiped TWRP

Then installed

Let sit for 10 min after it booted

then setup and let it re-download my apps.

Then reboot again.

For the people obsessed with charging while off, give fast charge a try
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CAR1977:
I have the same problem. Also my signal almost never goes below 97 dBm. Actually it sometimes will go from 97 to 91 dBm. That is really strange and I cannot figure out why. I am on built 40, clean install and stock kernel. Installed using TWRP then again with CWM .On Darkside I get double the speed I get on AOKP.

I really love AOKP but it sucks not to be able to get the same speeds I get on a TW based Rom.

Does anybody have any ideas what the reason for this is?

Issue List

Okay, let me see if I can get all the things I know about down..

1) Random Reboots- wasn't really having too much of a problem with this (occured once on 6/20 build, but got one last night on my fresh/clean build 40 while scrolling through my app drawer). It stayed in the boot animation for a long time until I finally powered it down and back up.

2) GPS- Yes, I'm still having problems with GPS. At first I thought it was because I did a dirty flash from 6/20 to build 40, but then I did a fresh install yesterday (Darkside superwipe, flash build 40, flash gaps, reboot). GPS had been working pretty well until today. I went outside for a run and couldn't get any sats to show up until after a reboot.

3) Audio- I thought we had that problem worked out, but today in the car I was listening to some you tube clips in the car using the YouTube app, and when I closed out of Google Play, the audio routed to the speaker instead of out of the headphone jack. The only way I could get it back was to start google play back up, play a song, then pause it, then go back to youTube app and resume... The audio issues have been drastically improved in build 40, but still some minor problems

4) Does Google Wallet work? I tried to buy something from the app store yesterday and it said it wouldn't work with my phone...

5) Touchscreen freezes. Usually i can get around this one by giving it the "palm", or my hand flat on the screen.. but on occasion, it has been stubborn even after I got the touchscreen unfrozen, when I went to unlock (using the honeycomb style unlock screen) it would allow me to select unlock, but the phone wouldn't unlock... it would just freeze there on unlock... After several attempts I was finally able to get it to unlock.

6) Battery life seems to be worse on this clean flash than before on my dirty flash... I have been using it now for a full 24hrs, and the phone wasn't going to sleep very much. I used the Badass Battery app to view the wake-up counts for each app. Exchange email, gmail, and facebook were #2, 3, and 4. But #1 was the system itself.... Not sure why? I've done everything I can to minimize anything that would wake it up out of deep sleep (reduced polling/refresh times on everything, removed a bunch of widgets, etc)

By far my biggest concern is GPS and battery life.... Battery life may be something specific with my setup, or the apps I'm running. But I don't think GPS would be...

Overall I love this ROM and don't plan to ditch it... Would just love to see it a little bit more stable/reliable. Anyone else seeing these issues I described? Specifically GPS?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jangst123:
Been using 40 from day 1

GPS every day even grabbed 2 geocaches and it was spot on.

Only bug I get 2 to 3 times a day is screen locking up which I fix quick with a palm to the screen.

No reboots

Pandora, Google music, Netflix, all good.

Well since the particular thing I'm talking about has happened since day one with AOKP. I thought maybe I did something wrong because I haven't heard many people talk about it.

lol 3 times? but thanks i can now flash aokp had it in my sd card all along. btw s voice lol heres a article the link is broken so i will post it.

So, have you been trying out S-Voice, the brand-spanking new (and totally original, we swear) voice app snatched from the Galaxy S III? If you haven’t yet, then you needn’t bother: Samsung has begun blocking server access for all phones that aren’t the Galaxy S III – and since the phone doesn’t officially release for another week, that’s all of them. So far Samsung has made it clear that the feature is an exclusive to their new flagship.

Oh well, it’s not like you’re missing much – the app only worked on Ice Cream Sandwich devices anyway, and it seemed like all it wanted to do was give you the weather. At present Google Voice Actions is a lot more useful, especially if you know your way around its commands. If S-Voice is Samsung’s way of differentiating itself from Apple, they’ve got a lot of work left to do.

Naturally, this isn’t dissuading some users. A few modders are trying the old build.prop adjustment to fool Samsung’s servers into thinking they have a Galaxy S III, with at least some success. Of course, that could cause problems with the Google Play Store and other apps that require device authentication. Seriously, folks, just do without S-Voice – Siri is a toy at best, and this is just the knockoff.
