Outstanding issues with CM9 that I know of:

Bluetooth audio fails to resume after a call, or resumes but breaks after a song finishes.

Powered off charging screen is still broken.

I tried Eugene's kernel for CM9 and it doesn't fix the bluetooth issues I'm experiencing either. Here's a detailed summary of how to reproduce bluetooth issue:

1. Pair phone with car's stereo (Toyota Entune)

2. Play song through Play Music

3. Receiving a call

4. Talk, then hang up on call

At this point, the audio will either not play over bluetooth anymore or it will finish until I hit next song or it finishes the song. The song meta data is still sent to the radio, but no audio. The phone itself is playing music, but it does not come through over bluetooth or through the phone's speaker.

I have logs of this occurring, both with stock CM9 kernel and Eugene's. I love the CM9 ROM, but this is one of the main uses for my phone and it's a bit of a deal breaker. I'd love to help get this one fixed up in any way I can. Note that this feature works perfectly with both TMO stock ROM and AOKP.

The powered off charging screen has apparently been fixed by Eugene in AOKP. Perhaps the fix can get ported over here too?

I don't know if this is similar to a couple posts I read about the device rebooting when mounting to computer, but I download the new nightly 07/01 and was going to copy it to my device before work this morning. My device mounted fine, I started coping the file and left the room for a couple mins. When I came back, it was at the same location as when I left it. My device wouldn't respond, and I even tried to unmount from the computer, but it still recognized my device as being used and wouldn't let me. I finally just held the power button for about 10 secs and rebooted the device.

First time I've ever had this happen, and I've been installing every nightly since 6/20. The version I was actually using was 6/28 unofficial test 1. I don't know if it was just a fluke, but need to head out for work now and don't have time to retest to see. I might just download the new nightly via my device and give it a go that way. Anybody else have this issue. It didn't reboot when mounting, and it started to copy the file...it just froze in the middle?

**EDIT** I opened Root Explorer to see if any of the file copied to my device. It looks like the whole file copied. Is there an app, or a way to check the MD5 Hash now that the file is on my device before I flash it.

**EDIT 2** When I hit properties with Root Explorer it generates the MD5 hash and it doesn't match. I'll try downloading via Chrome on my device.

Issue with 20120701 CM9 build on SGH-T989

Folks,

After installing this via Clockwork download, I'm stuck in boot mode. Phone sat on the charger with CM9 on the splash screen for about 45 minutes before I tried the Power+VolUp+VolDown trick, but that just shuts the device down. Starting it back up with the same method just produces another loop on the splash screen.

DDMS doesn't recognize the device (in the past I've seen it on the splash screen and you can watch everything initializing) and I'm not able to get it into clockwork recovery. When I press the Pwr+VolUp+VolDn when powered off the device has a light beep and just vibrates repeatedly until I release all three buttons.

How do I force the device, from powered off, into Clockwork Recovery so I can re-install the pre-CM9 backup?

Thanks!

Update:

Figured it out. Restored the phone.

I figured nightlies would be pretty stable (beta state) by now. I'll stay away for a few more weeks. :)

For those having DATA issues: here is what I found.

I did NOT had the issue, but I attempted to reproduce it. I finally found a way to "lose data."

I flashed a few different ways to see if I could create the issue and there was 1 instance where I did.

1. Backup

2. Flash ICS Radio

3. Darkside Super Wipe

4. Flash Nightly (any)

5. Flash Gapps

6. Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache

7. Fix Permissions

After numerous ways of doing this, I encountered that #6 and #7 screwed the phone up each time.

I don't use Wipe Cache or Dalvik Cache functions within Recovery anymore. Also the same for Fix Permissions. It creates issues with Cache....and its above my head as to why.

My procedure to flash (never failed me)

1. Backup

2. Flash ICS Radio

3. Darkside Super Wipe

4. Flash Nightly (any)

5. Flash Gapps

6. Darkside Cache Wipe

7. Reboot

My procedure once on CM9

1. Format System (under mounts and storage)

2. Flash new nightly

3. Flash Gapps

4. Darkside Cache Wipe

5. Reboot

NEVER HAD 1 SINGLE ISSUE!!!

This is exactly what I did but still did not get data using a T mobile radio. Had to use a Telus radio to get data.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RikkKeith:
How big of a problem is this data issue? It's hard to judge from the threads. Is it just a handful, or is it starting to spread. I wonder what the common denominator is and if more of us are going to start to experience problems the more we flash CM9?

Are people flashing a radio every time they flash CM9? I flashed the LE1 radio once, and haven't flashed a radio since. I have flashed every nightly since 6/20 and so far so good.

I haven't seen any of the team discuss this issue, but I've been working a lot this past week and haven't been able to jump on IRC. Is there an app for that by the way?

I flash just like the poster above; I never wipe anything with CWR 5.0.2.7. I always use the scripts when I wipe. I will admit since flashing the nightlies, and because there hasn't been any major changes, I just flash right over my last, then use the cache wipe script and reboot. I don't know if doing a full wipe would alter my outcome. I hope this gets resolved and a reason/solution is found.

So after a few days of running any post-6/24 nightlies, my phone seems to lose sound/mic when calling or receiving calls. It'll ring, I can answer the call, but I can't hear nor be heard, doesn't matter if I reboot, re-flash ROM, radio, etc. I have to restore to my last save. Does anyone have an answer/similar issues?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] m69k69:
So I am running the cm nightly 0629. I was trying to figure out if my phone is sim unlocked. If I type *#7465625# into the dialer, I get a message 'connection problem of invalid MMS code'. I tried a friends ATT sim card and it did not ask me for a unlock code, but I could not connect to the ATT network even when I changed the APN setting.

I guess my question is how do I check if my phone is network locked while on cm? Also, if there is a easy way to unlock it or get to the unlock screen?

ofencek olus

Did you flash the 7.2.12 CM9 Nightly over a older version of CM9 Nightly? Or did you do a clean install, as in formatted your phones data, cache, dalvik, etc.. Example: Flashed Darkside Super Wipe before Flashing 7.2.12 CM9 Nightly?

Also you could try flashing TDJ's Modified ICS Radios to get your data to work. Look at my old post, I updated it with new info. I had issues with data at first but I was just not getting data at all. Wifi worked fine for me though right after first boot.

Wipe Cache

Wipe Dalvik

Those are the steps ive always taken. But trying to flash CM roms, and now trying to flash a Touch version of CWM, i keep getting this (Status 7) error.

Edit* - The errors show up as soon as it opens up the update package.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vlad83:
Well first, you're way overdoing it with all the wiping. If you flash darkside wipe, it wipes /system, /data, and /cache so no other wiping is necessary. Second, the touch cwm has some kinks that need to be worked out. Either use cwm non- touch or twrp. Last, make sure to verify the md5 hash because the file may be corrupt.

This should be your flashing process:

1. Darkside wipe

2. Flash Radio (if not on an ICS radio already)

3. Flash CM

4. Flash Gapps

5. Reboot and don't touch the phone for 10 mins

6. Reboot

Any Talkatone users on CM9? I tried the latest build while making calls you can't hear anything but the other person does hear you.

To fix that; in the app you have to change the "Audio Playback Stream" from Voice Call to Music but then the other person gets Echo. To fix the Echo there's an "Echo patch delay" setting where you have guess a number between 1 and 100.

Has anyone guessed that number? lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xxflyingarmbarxx:
The extra wipes were just for my personal safety, but i guess i could cut it down. And im not using CWM Touch. Ill try TWRP though and see if that works any better. Im only getting these issue with the CM9 roms

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RikkKeith:
I did a little research when I started flashing nightlies. Before the nightlies, I would always do a full wipe. And I will do a full wipe if there are any major updates, I have issues, or when we finally get a RC. But from reading, most have no issues when flashing over the last build with no wipe. So after flashing 6/20, all I've done is flash CM9, flash TDJ'S Cache wipe script, and reboot. All in that order.

That's my preferred way. But if you run into issues, or all else fails... Just follow the OP.

Oh, and always do a backup.

Do you guys know of any way to wake up the phone?

[EDIT] Found a way to revive the phone! Removed the battery for 10 mins, put it back on and plugged it when the "Galaxy S2" startup screen appeared for a second, it was booted just enough to take it.

A version change or a release candidate. I think I might do a full wipe if it looks like a lot was changed/added to the change log and I haven't done one in a while. I think we have a ways yet before we get our first RC though. But I can't wait. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RikkKeith:
I haven't had this happen, but from reading, all you need to do is let it set on the charger for about 15 minutes or so to give it a little juice. Then unplug it and hold the power button for about 10 seconds until in vibrates and that should reboot it. And then charge it while it's on until you flash the update.

Ha, thanks for the tip, will sure come in handy again ;)

The strange thing is that for the past couple of days I had excellent battery life on the 20120630 build and today it died at 5PM. Battery was at 19% when I put it in my pocket and I felt it vibrate a few times, thinking I was getting notifications, but when I took it out an hour later it was dead. A background process must have been running unbeknownst to me.

Hey, while I'm at it, where is the task manager in CM9? I miss the one from stock ICS, especially the "clear ram" function which was useful when running low on battery in order to save as much power as possible. I've done some searches but no luck so far.

Once again thanks for your help and patience, I've only been on Android for 3 weeks after 3 years of iPhone. The learning curve is a little steep at times and I'm never sure if a tip applies to my phone/android build ;)

According to http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#hercules/cm9/next I would say yes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vlad83:
An RC is no different than a nightly. It's just another build at a point where CM team feels it's bug free etc. A wipe is really only needed when there is a framework change such as GB to ICS or TW. That's not to say that some things may break time to time but for the most part, wiping before each CM9 flash is unnecessary.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mxwllmcly:
I'm in the same boat with the iPhone deal, was going back and forth now I'm staying!! There's an option to kill an application by holding down the back button forget the whole path but its deff in there also hold the home button and slide the minimized tasks to the left. You can also put the powersaver on under performance in your options, this will run your CPU low until you can get somewhere to charge.

Bricked my phone with the 7/04 nightly

I've been flashing ROMs for a while now, never bricked my phone before this.

I was using DARKSIDE EVO and decided to give CM9 a go. I had the CM9 7/02 nightly working on my phone.

I used the Web Connect and let ROM MANAGER download and flash this nightly(7/04), but my phone never turned back on. Now it will not power on, cant get into download mode.

Just wanted to let you all know about this before you try flashing the latest nightly through ROM Manager/Web Connect.

Just flashed 7/04 CM9 Nightly and everything is working fine. Even had my mobile data working upon first boot. Everything is smooth and fast, even rebooting the phone seems quicker. Yet again I didn't download the latest Nightly through ROM Manager/Web Connect. You could have had a bad download. I wish I could help you out but not sure on how to go about fixing a bricked phone. Good luck though, bricked phones are heartbreaking.

Only gripe which I've noticed on CM9 Nightly builds 6/30/12 - 7/4/12 is that the Soft Keys (Menu, Home, Back, Search) Backlight doesn't always turn on when you use the phone. Oh and yes I do have it enabled in the settings. Maybe I'm picky...but I like all features of my phone to work. Might switch back to TDJ's Darkside Evo 3 v7 for it's full functionality and peace of mind. Not yet sure though, all the CM9 Nightly features sort of outweigh Soft Keys sometimes lighting up. Anyone else having this issue?

EDIT: Deciding to just stay with CM9 Nightly builds and disable my softkey backlights. It's not like I need to see them in the dark and the softkeys on the White GS2 T989 had light leak anyways. This way the phone looks cleaner. But if anyone updates to a version that fixes it please post on the thread. I'll flash that ROM in a heart beat. Can't help but not love a true ICS experience on our phones.
