Alarm not sounding

I'm using JB in i9100 and latest Siyah (6.0b5) for about 3 weeks. I'm diabetic, so I set up the alarm to wake me in the middle of the night (3am) so I can measure my glucose level. I found that the alarm fails to sound several times. It seems that if I open the alarm app and play with it for a few seconds before going to sleep, the alarm seems to work fine for that night.

I found some messages in this thread with similar problems, but wasn't able to find a solution. I checked the minimum cpu freq and I see it is already 200Mhz in this kernel version.

A note: There was one night that I woke up by myself just a few minutes before the alarm should get triggered. I noticed that it was actually triggered and started to play the "ring song" for about 0.5 second and stopped after that (!)

Any suggestions that I should try? It is really important to me that alarm works always.

Thanks!

Hello, i have android 4.1.2 XWLSS and i installed PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSS-OXX-5.00.4. Now i have many freeze and force close (i restored applications and parameters from a backup). I installed Siyah (Siyah-s2-v6.0b5.tar) using odin. It's working but i lost CWM recovery and i'm back to stock reocvery. How do you explain that? Siyah has always been associated with CWM, when you install Siyah, CWM is installed as well, is it right?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Try to flash SiyahKernel again with Mobile Odin app (if your phone is rooted) ... or PC Odin.

Then you should have CWM recovery back working ... hopefully !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
Yes, you are right. However are you sure it is stock now? User's interface is very different in Siyah CWM than philz CWM and has similar look like stock but it's not. It has many more options and a real version should be displayed on the top of the screen.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] int0x13:
Ok, i tried to flash Siyah with .zip method under CWM of Philz kernel. And now it has worked i have the CWM recovery, but no more CWM manager application.

I prefered CWM from Philz. You can move up and down inside menu more easily (into Philz CWM) because you can up and down fast by letting pressed the vol+ vol- buttons.

One remark, why no shutdown item into CWM?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scandiun:
I respond to myself. Siyah is the only kernel which supports encryption on custom roms (like NeatROM or MIUI). Other kernels like PhilZ or Apolo don't work properly. PhilZ is unable to decrypt partitions and Apolo damages the filesystem.

Both encryption and decryption can be done from settings menu without the need to factory reset (i.e. everything is preserved).

Big thanks to the developer.

I can't recommend you any "special" kernels which would satisfy you because simply I don't have your device and haven't tested any.

However under link posted by [MENTION=4279814]Sun90[/MENTION] you will find a few of them.

I'm using Siyah-s2-v6.0b5 kernel more than a months now without any issues. Hats off to GM. :cowboy:

But I have quite difficult question guys, :P:)

1. how to remove siyah Bootanimation from appearing on startup?

2. how to remove yellow Triangle from appearing on startup?

Lastly,

3. whenever, i boot into recovery it shows Stockrecovery instead of CWMrecovery, Is there a fix on this :confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
1. Siyah doesn't have a boot animation but only provides a boot logo.

To get rid of it create an empty file: "/sdcard/.nobootlogo". If this file exists no boot logo will be displayed.

2. Yellow triangle can be removed by using

TriangleAway

app. Follow strictly the app's guide.

3. I suppose that you have CWM recovery. It has similar look to stock one but there are many differences: on the top and bottom of the screen there is description:

"CWM based recovery v6.0.1.2-Siyah" + Siyah logo on the background + more options in menu eg "dual boot options". Please check again.

If you really don't have it (what would be strange) reflash kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe well:
+1 for quick reply. :)

1. Bootlogo now disappear. :good: :D

2. cant load Triangleaway.

Hello Many40. Sorry for this OT

Did you know any news from gokhanmoral?

Sorry but no news at all.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimAnd:
I have a BIG problem. Sorry for starting like this, but after few hours, it seems like that.

I had Siyah 5.0.1 with Samsung ICS and MIUI in dual-boot. Today I upgraded to Samsung JB, XWLSS and everything went fine. It put it's own kernel of course. Then I tried with some other rooted kernels, GT-I9100_JB_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.2.9.tar and Kernel_Siyah-Dorimanx-V8.1-[04-31]-[02-03]-MALI-V2-TAR-FOR-ODIN.tar didn't work so I put Siyah-s2-v6.0b5.tar using ODIN and it worked fine.

Then I did something stupid, as it turned out. Instead of just deleting a folder from Android, I removed 2nd ROM from CWM recovery using dual-boot menu item (build in Siyah-s2-v6.0b5). After that, I can't boot phone. I can use ODIN but whatever kernel I use, nothing, it doesn't start. Just with Siyah-s2-v6.0b5.tar it starts but loops with "Samsung" boot image title.

Any help? Why does this happen? Is Android somehow damaged? How can I repair it?

First you can not dual boot with jb rom if you want to root your rom use the cwm flashable zip for 6b5

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimAnd:
I understand that I can not dual boot with JB ROM with Siyah 6b5 now. But I don't care. My problem is that I can't boot at all!

When you say "use the cwm flashable zip for 6b5" do you mean kernel zip or full package zip? But how will I transfer it to the phone (Siyah 6b5 requires internal SDcard)?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
You deleted /preload (hidden) partition which in JB roms contains most of system files.

One of the solutions would be:

- download mobile Odin (you need to download also flash kernel v2 and put it on internal sd card) from Chainfire's thread

- from the app choose "hidden" partition only and open from there your rom tar file

- flash it

Your preload should be back and phone should start properly.

If not then reinstall your rom again from pc odin.

If you don't wipe your data should stay safe.

Good luck
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimAnd:
Thank you but please explain details.

option 1. Mobile ODIN, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1347899, is the app? How will I use it when I cannot start my phone? I already had it installed before, although I never used it, is it important?

I don't have ROM TAR file, I used Kies for upgrade. I can find some, is it important that it'll be different?

option 2. Can I use ZIP from PC Odin? Will it erase all apps ot just upgrade like Kies did?

I wiped cache, I hope it doesn't matter.

EDIT: "How will I transfer it ti internal SD?" Using CWM, I can mount SDcard, it's OK.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
Sorry couldn't answer earlier.

Ad1 Sorry my mistake of course 1st advice will not work as long as you can't boot the phone :)

Ad2 Download tar ver of your stock rom (the same which you have installed already) from Sammobile.com (you must be registered) or find it on xda. Then use pc odin app and flash the rom.

For flashing rom via pc odin follow one of the many guides available on xda.

Good luck

Ps ZIP versions are custom roms eg Neatrom which is based on stock rom.

If you decide to try it then you can install it from CWM recovery
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimAnd:
I've just downloaded firmware ZIP from Sammobile, I didn't see TAR option at all..

If I install ZIP from recovery, will it be an update, will my apps and setings remain, like when I used Kies? Is there s difference in that sense in using ODIN or Recovery?

I put Kernel_Siyah-Dorimanx with dual boot and already installed MIUI as 2nd ROM. Can I use Mobile ODIN from there to repair that "hidden" partition ?

Can you please write this: If I install ZIP from recovery, will it be an update, will my apps and setings remain, like when I used Kies? Is there s difference in that sense in using ODIN or Recovery?

My priority is to keep primary ROM, its apps and settings. Is it better then to use SAMMY TAR or stock ZIP (I found some Deodexed), bot are I9100XWLSS?

Why I put Kernel_Siyah-Dorimanx with dual boot ...

I read of course http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1617219 but I thought that "JB MALI V2 + JB SAMMY Kernels List!" means that this is supported, to have 2 stock ROMs (I thought MIUI is like stock ROM).

where is smartassv2 in this kernel, I see it mentioned in older threads but I dont see it on my S2.

pegasusq seems to have huge battery drain (as its ondemand based).

Also the 2g is causing huge drain.

in airplane mode about 2-3% lost overnight. With 2g enabled (not 3g or wifi) about 3-4% per hour instead (with screen off idle) which is huge drain.

also is the 6.05 beta compatible with CM10.1 or not? when I tried it I get black screen dead boot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zizibuba:
Got my S2 a week ago and installed this kernel. The kernel itself and options in STweaks are awesome. Just a couple of questions:

It seems that touch sensitivity is not always the same, sometimes the screen can be used only by finger nail and sometimes it's not that

sensitive. Is it related to some of the tweaks in STweaks? Is it normal for my phone to charge for 3-3.5 hours?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
u can tweak it under the 'Screen' tab in 'Stweaks' and its quite normal if ur charging from near 0% to 100% :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
1. I don't experience that however as Sun90 already wrote you can play with touchscreen sensitivity by "Touchmove sensitivity" option in Stweaks/screen. But remember: higher value - lower sensitivity.

2. Definitely your charging time is not normal - it's too short ;):)

My phone charges from 0-100% in about 4 hours.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrcol:
thanks but 2 days life in idle isnt great for me.

the s2 I got now is at 37% with 2 days 18h clocked up.

first day or so of the charge was in airplane mode, now its idling in 2g mode after I put a working sim in.

Did the dev say why he removed smartassv2? I think choice is king and is it hard to keep it in or something?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
This is only what I found:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33408244&postcount=14043

It was removed since ver 5.0.1:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zizibuba:
I did some testing and now I am sure. Touchscreen sensitivity is increased in this kernel but it returns to stock kernel values while charging. And I am not talking about touch move sensitivity in STweaks. Try to use the screen with your finger nail while charging, it won't work but it is working wheb the phone is not charging. This is not something very important, I am just trying to find out if anyone else experienced this. Also, I had a couple of freezes, I had to force restart my phone, I am not sure if it is kernel related. I am using stock jelly bean with bloatware removed and latest Siyah kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kyuuba:
Gokhan, I have a question man, are you going to make your own kernel creation any better?

Many of us know that you're working with Dorimanx developing his kernel but let's say that you are the original creator of it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrcol:
it seems with a working sim in the idle battery drain with 2g on is now much better, I guess turning 2g on with no sim card in drains a lot of battery.

so 9 june I posted 37% left.

10 june it dropped to 34%

right now its 30%.

this is pretty good battery drain now.

I did make some adjustments tho on the 9 june.

min 100 max 800 clock

undervolting

and lower gpu clocks.

phone feels laggier tho so I may undo at least some of these changes or at least be less agressive.

1. I have used titanium backup pro to backup system data and apps.

Sry if I haven't read things extra carefully, but my phone was rooted and to my best knowledge I had ticked off the before installing kernel checklist. Anyway, it's just been a week since I started rooting, and I usually learn the hard way!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I'm not Many40, but I just had a sudden change of heart. :D

Sorry Many for interrupting you, but you already did enough for the community. ;)

If you want, you can try this, I'm gonna make it short :

search for the real Siyah kernel, version 6.0beta5

put it on your internal sd

boot into recovery, as described by Many

flash my attached file (but before put it on internal sd:))

now flash Siyah kernel

reboot

and btw, Many is a recognized contributor, not a senior anymore.(although senior, but got promoted);):)

EDIT oh f... it, I'll attach the kernel too...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
About Titanium, backing up system data and apps will hardly be of any use. If you ever install a new rom, don't restore system apps or data, it can clash with your new installation. But you can backup & restore user apps, that's what TB is good for.

What Many meant was a nandroid backup, this is made within the CWM recovery (it's like making a picture of your current rom, so when you restore it, you will have the same look and setup as before). But don't forget, a stupid folder named preload must be included in the backup, or else your phone won't boot. Some kernels support preload backup, some don't.

Enough from me, it's better that you do some reading too, and believe me, we all had to learn it the hard way.

For anything else Google and xda are your friends

It's not while phone is idle - if you are on Siyah kernel, have you enabled VPLL mode for GPU in STweaks app?. When I had this enabled my phone was warmer as well. If yes, disable it and see.
