As long you have strong signal..it is what you need...you need to figure out with own yourself and try many other more modem...in europe lps has conquer the world:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CamoGeko:
It doesn't really matter what region the modems are designed for, they can still end up being perfect for you and your device. For example, I ended up using DXLP9 modem after it came out because it was the best all round modem for me. That's a modem designed for Singapore but it worked well in UK.

Just have to try and see. Finding the best modem is all about trial and error.

Can we get back to kernel discussion now please. If you want to know more about modems then ask in the sticky modem thread.

k/worker is a kernel process & it shouldn't be draining your battery. It's isn't a feature & it cannot be disabled. Try checking under partial wakelocks to see what is actually draining your battery & not under process.

Hello Jonamafun,

i am running Siyah V4 with a stock rom. I have go launcher and go sms.

I have try so much thing to be able to use BLN, but nothing work.

If i made a BLN test in EXtweak or BLNcontrol it is workgin fine, but after that, when i try with a new sms incoming, it does NOT work.

I have read that for a missing call it is not easy to parameter, but can you help me to please to have a BLN when i have a NEW sms or other apps event ?

Best Regards

MisterS
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syrus01:
I don't use go sms, but I'm sure that there must be an option to activate the led signal under notification settings. BLN only works if the app that you use triggers the led. The stock Apps don't trigger the led because the S2 has none, but third party Apps have to support a wide variety of devices and many that come with a real notification led. So they build in this option for sure. As I said, look into go sms' notification options and activate the led signal for those notifications.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tungstwenty:
Still about the network signal loss issue...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syrus01:
Exactly!

If you are like me and use third party Apps (that mostly come with led support) for almost everything except the dialer you can try out "BLN control - free" just activate it and it will trigger the led for missed calls but nothing else. Don't buy the pro, you will have no benefits.

If you use many stock Apps and want led support for calls, reminders etc. you can try out "Lightflow - lite", which supports a wide variety of Apps. The pro version supports even more Apps, just read the description.

Is siyah worthwhile?

I´ve been using it during a large period of time but when they moved to the SGS3 I thought they were going to leave the proyect and changed to other kernels.

I want BLN and stability. Should I move from phenomenal?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rav4kar:
gokhan,

when we use "Power button ends call" option, the display turns off after screen timeout (e.g 30 secs) while the call is still on, there is no way to turn on the display without ending the call as power button ends the call.

Is there a way to put in kernel code for the given condition?

If the call is on AND "Power button ends call" option enabled AND Display is off,

first press wakes the screen up and second press ends the call?

This is how it used to be during GB days.

TIA.

I use your kernel (3.5.1) on i777 (at&t SG2).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keyder:
There are very few kernels with the quality and dedication that the developer of siyah has....He still finds time to continue development for the S2 version of the kernel. Give a try and find for yourself. Also, don't forget to install extweaks as well since it goes hand in hand with it in order to tune several kernel values. Enjoy and don't forget to thank the developer.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tungstwenty:
One workaround you can use (at least I tried and it worked for me) is to cover the proximity sensor - screen continues off - and then let it go again and it will turn the screen back on.

Thank you for your message, but it seems that whatever numbers I put there for those offsets, it seems that nothing is changing.

As I recall, this was correctly functioning on older kernel versions. I have also reset the kernel profiles. Maybe I am missing something, since it happens on both CM9 and CM10.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilgrim011:
Nope, I have never used min freq 100 MHz, always 200. But I think I may have solved the problem somehow, although I'm on v3.3.3c, haven't tried higher versions in the meantime. I have also found matching RIL and I don't have the problem since yesterday, although I have to wait few more days to give you a definitive answer.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbeetee:
Hope you didn't try changing the offset (the part behind -o ....) these need to remain the stated values ; these are memory locations of the variables. You need to try some other values for the last number on each command line, and mainly the ones that refer to the charge conditions (CHRG) : eg.

# offset 60: MXT224_THRESHOLD_CHRG <--- these are comments in case you're not familiar with it, but I think you are

kmemhelper -n mxt224_data -t char -o 60 40

# offset 62: MXT224_NOISE_THRESHOLD_CHRG

kmemhelper -n mxt224_data -t char -o 62 35

# offset 64: MXT224_MOVFILTER_CHRG

kmemhelper -n mxt224_data -t char -o 64 30

(you can use terminal emulator to try a few or adb if your using that....)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilgrim011:
Everything (calls, GO SMS, Gmail, Gtalk) is working with just Extweaks and NSTools properly configured. Here are my settings. If Go SMS is not working, you'll need to play with Go SMS settings (screen should be off when SMS is received etc.).

That's the exact thing I have done, I've changed values only for those offsets, but got nothing new. Anyway it's not such a big issue, but it would have been nice if it worked.

Hi,

Refering to your earlier post, the solution you described is perfect (I use it as well) for ZIP CWM flashable roms. But how do you proceed with TAR roms (eg. new Sammy releases)? What I do (whould be nice to find better solution) is: just flashing TAR roms and then TAR ver. of Siyah via odin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tungstwenty:
I don't think for .tar roms you have any "normal" option other than backing up you primary rom and flashing the new one there, either with odin or mobileodin.

You *might* be able to avoid it if you do it manually:

- convert each .img from sparse format to regular partition contents

- use dd to transfer each img to the appropriate block device / 2nd rom storage file

But I never tried it and don't know if it works

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #illidan:
About CWM, that version is the one where all the bugs have been fixed & you won't have any issue with either a backup or restore.

Use getRIL & check if your RIL & baseband match. Maybe there are 2 factors that are causing the bug although many people seem to be having the issue with 200 MHz as their min freq so I doubt the freq is causing the bug.

Battery life report 4.0.1

[Non-dev observation] Hi this is just a quick report for anyone interested in the battery life for XWLPT 4.0.4 stock rom with Siyah 4.0.1. My experience has been very good so far and the screen on drain has been about 20% battery per hour screen on time. (almost 5 hours 100-10%)

Siyah 3.4.x was also similar on stock 4.0.3 but Siyah 3.5.x was a little bit worse. However using Siyah 3.3 and below on 4.0.3 ics roms has usually given me much less battery life (3hrs total screen on) compared to the current (5hrs total screen on time). Throughout all these tests my usage has been fairly consistent as a uni student with 1+ hours web browsing, 30 minutes facebook, 30 minutes youtube, 20 minutes heavy 3d games, lots of texts, few calls and reading pdf lecture notes.

My usage is attached in a screenshot and please not that I use auto brightnes tuned to be darker than stock and have it under clocked to 1000 mhz and slightly undervolted but most setcpu and extweaks settings have been very similar throughout all these roms and Siyah versions.

I am very, very pleased with this current set up so thanks GM! This easily lasts me a day of fairly heavy usage without having to worry on the stock battery. Other than on Siyah 3.4, this was not possible on a consistent basis.

Edit: See sig for details and I use stock 5 cpu freq steps because they offer better battery life and are much smoother for me.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbeetee:
You are right...I should have mentioned that...Like Tungstwenty said, there's no easy way to flash those to 2nd rom.

There are some kitchen recipe's out there on how to cook up a cwm zip from a stock rom, but that would not be the easy way.

If you don't mind slightly modded versions, usually very soon after they become available, someone on xda cooks up a de-bloated, or in some other way optimized version and cwm flashable.

If you really want it as pure as samsung presents it, than odin is the only easy way to go, afterwards flashing siyah, and restore 2nd rom (and using triangle-away if you hate that ugly triangle, just as much as me :) )....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tungstwenty:
Right.

And even if the steps I mentioned work, and perhaps can be automated, stock roms still need to use temporarily the /hidden partition on the first boot, in order to install the extra apps that won't go into /system in order to fit the available partition space (swype, polaris office, etc.)

On the second rom, that /hidden partition simply isn't there, as it's actually the 2nd rom's /system partition.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbeetee:
Correct....did notice that using the 2nd as install target...some apps that should be there are not. Another reason to use 1st rom whenever possible

Thanx!

(I'm out of regular thanks for today ...will catch you tomorrow !! :laugh:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tungstwenty:
Ah, and of course something to keep in mind:

When flashing a stock *ROM* (not merely a kernel) on the primary rom, the /hidden partition will be overriden and therefore a backup of the secondary rom must exist, so that after that (and after booting in the primary rom at least once for it to have the chance to fetch the stuff from /hidden), and advanced restore can be made of the 2nd rom's /system partition.
