100mhz is unstable in my opinion. When it's running on 100mhz and I adjust headset volume it makes ugly plucking noises and the song stops for like 0,1 seconds. You barely save batter anyways that way. Who knows what other problems may happen. I'd use 200mhz.

i have the same problem with you.. bad signal in our place but im not sure if having "x" in the signal bar can actually drain 6-10% in 7-8hrs overnight.. can someone confirm if this is normal? i actually tested it, i left the phone in a place with good signal one night and drained 1-2% only the whole night.. also, i already tried changing modem.. i still get "x" but i dont have to reboot anymore to have signal :good:..

btw, what does cfs tweaks actually do? and can anyone tell what's the difference between the samsung defaults, linux and thunderbolt??

Did any1 try new 4.0 SiyahKernel?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #illidan:
Its most likely a RIL crash although I'm surprised your getting it on stock as well. When the Radio Interface Layer crashes rest assured you will have high battery drain because & this is what I think only that the phone either tries to restart the RIL or doesn't know that the RIL has crashed & keeps trying to connect to a network.

If you know what you are doing then 100 MHz is better than 200 MHz any day of the week. I have been using it for ages & I've had no issues at all & as to battery saving, it helps & there is a visible difference when you play music.

yesterday i went into a basement and there is no signal (its normal), the "X" icon shown. however when i left the basement to open area later on, the phone can't get the signal back and still show "X" in the bar. then I check in the setting>network selection>it say no SIM card!!!!!!!

Finally I need to reboot my phone to get things okay.

Can anyone assist with getting BLN notifications for missed calls?

I am running Siyah v4 with Wanamlite v12.2 (Sammy ROM).

Using just ExTweaks I can get BLN notifications for GoSMS and Whatsapp. But missed calls don't work. I suspect it's probably because the screen turns on when the call comes through?

I searched through some threads and someone suggested installing NSTools. Still does not seem to work.

Any ideas? Is there some magical combination of settings that I need to set?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #illidan:
Yes because he has used plain update 7 sources with no upstream changes merged.

Edit:

Used the latest kernel for a while & looks like what people are saying on the dev thread for v4 are true. Second core is always on no matter how you tweak pegasusq for some reason.

@GM: I see you have added bus freq up threshold level so will you be adding a down threshold level as well?

Does Siyah not support BLN for missing calls?

I installed v4.0 and tried, but no BLN, only for sms. Whatsapp seems too?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #illidan:
If your on stock ROM it doesn't work for missed calls but it works on CM9 afaik. Try nstools form the market.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syrus01:
By default you don't get a LED signal for missed calls (because it is not triggered by the app). You will need a third party app as man-in-the-middel to trigger the LED signal. If missed calls are enough for you, you could install "BLN control" from the market, the pro version is not needed. Alternatively you could also install "LightFlow", makes sense if you also want to trigger the led for other things too, like incoming sms (needed if you're using stock sms app) or reminders. The free version has all these features, so you also don't have to purchase the pro version.

---------- Post added at 10:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 AM ----------

Siyah supports it but that's only one side of the coin, the app has to trigger the LED signal too. On S2 samsung deleted the code for triggering the led from the stock apps (calls, sms, reminders), because S2 has no LED so it would be a waste of ressources. They just optimized it for the stock rom.

CM10 + Siyah 4 + Nova laucher = the smoothest experience i've had so far on my S2.

Except for the fact that the CPU is running at high clocks for at least 15 minutes after every reboot.

But this should be ROM related.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilgrim011:
Yeah, it seems to happen on all 4.0.3 ROMs. Well, reflashed 3.3.3c and all is well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pikachu01:
Flashing 4.0.4 fixes the problem as well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilgrim011:
Maybe, but I'll pass - every day I read several reports from users of 4.0.4 Sammy ROMs that managed to brick their devices while using "safe" kernels with emmc cap erase disabled. These bricks are happening in different situations (wiping data via "factory reset" in settings, via CWM, restoring some previous backup, while just using the phone etc.). I don't want to push my luck - already bricked the device once, not by my fault - emmc just died on me while normally using the phone. All in all, as someone said - SGS2 forums - more bricks than in the great wall of China.

Running CM9(4/8) with the new Siyah 4.0

The first thing I notice is that the screen flicker once when I turn off the screen.

Reverted to Siyah 3.5.2 and there wasn't this problem, screen off was snappy.

After which I upgraded back to 4.0 to confirm the problem and sure enough theres the flicker on screen off.

And also this time I'm stuck with no service.

Ok, seems like somehow my baseband became 'unknown'.

Baseband, imei etc. came back after unplug and reboot, weird.

Is LED-on-touch now on for default?

Wasn't the case for the past versions.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tungstwenty:
Strange, I'm using XWLPG and don't have this issue at all. I flashed beta3 when it was made available and now I'm on 4.0 final, but no issues.

No problems on a secondary XWLPM rom either.

Curiously, I did face similar symptoms a while back when attempting to use a stock-ish build of the update7 sources when GM was trying a quick merge, but not with this build.

Using XXLPX modem, by the way.

I do recall being on a newer modem for a while (one from the 4.0.4 roms) and I don't know if it overlapped with that period, but it could be something to consider.

Are you running a "4.0.3 modem"? Or updated it to a newer one despite using an older RIL library that comes with 4.0.3 ones?

---------- Post added at 12:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

The problem with 4.0.4 bricks is the kernel, not the ROM. So there's no issue at all on having Siyah and fearing bricks :)

If it's temporarily having the stock 4.0.4 kernel before replacing it that worries you, just use MobileOdin to flash the whole 4.0.4 package but replace the zImage file before going for the flash.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pikachu01:
Running 4.0.4 with a 4.0.3 modem was still fine (no signal loss). It's something inherent to the ROM I guess.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tungstwenty:
I meant the other way around - running a 4.0.4 modem with a 4.0.3 rom, which is what I was doing for a while.

I just find it strange that it isn't happening to me ... especially after I did see the same thing earlier with a previous development build with quick 4.0.4 source merges.

BTW, do already have info on whether your scripts go well with the new pegasusq behavior?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilgrim011:
The problem is the fact that I saw people reporting hard bricks with combo Siyah + Sammy 4.0.4 ROM. I don't know how to explain that - either they were lying or emmc_cap_erase disabled is not enough to stop the bricks...

Yes the led timeout is bugged but works fine for me.. it shows disabled but its working like i want to @3 sec timeout..

another thing is the flicker when unlocking..

After flashing v4.0 then reverting back v3.5.2 and vice versa a hundred times today i think im gonna test v4 more..

I just love the smoothness at extreme uv/uc probably due to the agressive pegasusq..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokhanmoral:
I guess some of you don't know that cm10 has led disable and led timeout settings in advanced menu.

if you are on v4.0 led timeout setting in ExTweaks is not effective and if I am not wrong I should have put that in the description. you should use the settings in CM menus.

if your rom (aosp/aokp etc) doesn't have that setting then I am sorry because I support basically two ROM types: Samsung and CM. and Cyanogenmod defines the AOSP standards on our device.

and if CM9 doesn't have that setting (I did not test with v4.0 because of not having enough time) I can make STweaks settings work for CM9.

I cannot get both of them working together without one of them overriding the other and that will create a lot of confusion.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frozenthunder:
For some reason the touch backlight is messed up. When I disable the option under sensors (so that it is not always on when screen is on) it also stays always off, no matter what I set in extweaks (enabled timeout, enable on touch, fadeout, still all does nothing). And when I set the option under sensors to always on then the lights are always on, no matter what timeout I set in extweaks. In 3.X this worked flawlessly but with newest version it doesn't

Hi Tungstwenty, I've experienced signal loss too, with stock Sammy firmware (my sign) but only on Siyah 3.5.2, I was on Siyah 3.2.7.2 for much time without signal loss, then upgraded to 3.5.2 and experienced this "bug" for three times with good signal coverage but maybe cell switching (in highway, at the sea), one time at home. I don't view if the phone options reports no SIM, only switch to airplane mode on then off to regain the signal, but didn't work so only a phone reboot resolve that signal loss.

Any suggestion?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tungstwenty:
Sorry, I'm not sure I have a solution for you...

As I mentioned, at one time I decided to flash the latest modem from 4.0.4 ROMs (XXLQ6, I think) and it was like that for a while.

Only when someone was asking about compatibility with the RIL library did I run the GetRIL app from the market and it reported incompatibility between the lib (from the XWLPG rom) and the modem (that I flashed separately). It all was working good, though, but then flashed XXLPX again and GetRIL reported all good.

In parallel with this (but I don't remember if there was a time overlap), I tried a development build of update7 sources merged with Siyah and I did see some of those symptoms, but again I cant say whether it was during the time I had XXLQ6 or not, altough I'm almost sure it occured both on XWLPG and XWLPM/4.0.4.

What I do know is that apart from that dev build (completely different from the current 4.0 sources BTW), I never ever saw that problem.

Just a heads up on the mobile signal disconnection bug.
