No vibrate

Hey everyone, I just noticed that when I put my phone on vibrate it doesn't work. Notifications/calls come through but no vibrate to notify me. Even when sound is on and Vib with sound is checked I still don't get any vibrate alert.

I searched but didn't find anyone else reporting this problem so I:

~ Did a factory reset, reflashed the rom again but still the same thing

~ Before I flashed this rom for the first time I cleared cache and dalvik too (don't think I did that for 2nd flash though now that I think of it)

~ Compared the MD5 so I think I got a clean download of the zipped rom

~ Verified the vibrate works with other features (vib on touch and others work just fine)

~ Fixed permissions (even though I didn't think it would help)

Any ideas what to try next? Thanks

How comfortable are you with command-line adb?

If you don't cringe over those ideas, you might want to look in /data/misc/bluetoothd/

There should be a folder, probably the only one there, with a name matching your Bluetooth MAC. Something like 04:18:0F:AA:BB:CC/

I personally would try booting to recovery and, while in recovery, renaming that to something else (like "old-bluetooth-folder"). I'd treat the file

/data/misc/bluetooth/incoming_connection.conf

the same way (note it is in the bluetooth/ folder bluetoothd/ folder). With luck, the Bluetooth system will re-create what you need when you boot up the phone to "normal" again.

I wouldn't try this with Bluetooth on. It might work if you are using a root-capable file "explorer" but I prefer to do this kind of thing with as little as possible running (recovery is as close to "single-user" mode as Android gets).

If your Bluetooth is completely hozed by that, you can at least rename the folder and file back to what it was before.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] redjama:
I'm fine using adb....built my own rom for my old HD2. So what ur saying is to rename both of those files??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Yes -- rename (basically "deleting" them as far as the Bluetooth code is concerned, but making a backup)

/data/misc/bluetooth/incoming_connection.conf

/data/misc/bluetoothd/04:18:0F:AA:BB:CC/

There may be other device-specific things there, but that was what I saw on my phone.

Crap... I read this and thought "no, it couldn't be that simple" but of course it was. I have been going around in circles for a few days now before deciding to post for the simple reason that I had a feeling that it was going to be something stupidly easy that I was overlooking. ...and now I feel like a 'tard.

Same issue for the phone calls too. Thanks IAIRonI for proving that my phone is smarter than me.

Have a good weekend everyone!

So I removed my sd card today to reformat another. I replaced the original, I went into my pictures and noticed my pictures were jumbled around and the ordination on some of them were flipped.

Also some of the more recent ones are missing from the gallery, if I go into the camera I click the preview I see the last picture I took but that one is missing. If I take a new photo it shows up in the gallery.

Wth happened? And yes I unmounted before I removed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
Try fixing perms clearing cache blah blah I've had that happen and doing that fixed it

If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button ;) it doesn't bite lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] vopezy:
Just cleaned cache and fix perm. Same thing. I did just notice it merged two of my albums that are in completely separate folders..

I am more confused then anything
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
Try mounting to PC and see if it's really merged or just gallery/phone being dumb lol

If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button ;) it doesn't bite lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] vopezy:
File explorer shows two different folders and I can see the photos that are missing.

I wonder if my sd is taking a **** on me..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] vopezy:
I'm finding photos like this as well.. The preview for the picture is different then when I open it. I don't remember even having the big picture on my phone
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
I've had that happen to me, you have a corrupted picture or song and its making the gallery/music app go crazy. For me the picture thing only happened with one album so I just deleted the whole folder and rebooted and my phone was back to normal. Idk if you will have the same result but it won't hurt to try
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Nickcu13:
I just flashed this ROM cause someone told me it could put the notification sounds through headphones/speakers. However, it STILL puts the sound through the phone speakers. I want it ONLY through connected speakers. How do i do this?

Which Kernel is everyone on??

AOKP is the best ROM ive ever used! Just wondering which Kernel and Modem everyone is using!

Also what does the "modem" do? Is there a way to DL components that may give better reception? (is that the modem?)_

sorry for my questions. considering a year ago I didnt even have a phone of any kind(never owned any cell phone) the fact that I am using one that I rooted and rom'd is to me an achievement
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
Hey! I'm using the stock kernel that comes with the rom, I'm not really a big OC/UV guy so hefe kernel really isn't for me. Also to answer your modem question, basically the modem just tells the phone which towers to connect to, and anything pertaining to the radio in our phone. Some might give you better reception, some might give you worse. If you want to test all three, look up the "padded modems" section in the dev thread. KJ6 is the official one but some people report not being able to send long text messages, if that is a priority than KG4 would be the one for you. Just test them and see which one is the best for you. I'm using KG4 if that means anything :p
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
The "modem" (or "RIL") is basically the driver for the part of the phone that communicates with your carrier's radio towers. It controls, among other things; registering your phone on the network, making calls, sending and receiving SMS and MMS, data connections using your carrier's radio links, notification that voicemail exists on your carrier's hardware, "GSM codes" like call forwarding and the like.

It is generally a proprietary binary, so there isn't much visibility into it, and generally no ability to "fix" things in it.

Power Saver

I have a question about the Power Saver option in ROM Control. I've flashed this ROM for my daughter who doesn't have a data plan (I know, android is best with a data plan, but with pervasive wifi at home/college/businesses, my daughter gets a lot of benefit from this phone). With mobile data turned on, android system seems to chew up the battery trying to connect. But with mobile data turned off, you cannot receive an MMS message, the picture just shows a download button but never succeeds. I thought that the Power Saver option in the ROM gives me the answer to this problem. What I've done is this:

Go to "System Settings" and select "ROM Control" then "Power saver".

Turn on "Enable power saver" by touching the checkbox

Go to "Screen off data action" and select "Turn data off"

This does a great job of turning off mobile data when the screen goes off, but it doesn't turn it back on when you turn on the screen. From my searching online, I believe that mobile data should be turned back on automatically when the screen is on. Is that correct? Am I understanding this Power saver setting correctly? Any other ideas for toggling Mobile data to save battery yet enable MMS when she's actively using the phone?

BTW - we just LOVE this ROM. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] n1vlek:
ever tried unticking data in the SETTINGS→MORE→MOBILE NETWORK?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
That should work as you intend it to work.

You didn't even read his post.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nighthawkca:
That setting is a duplicate of the toggle you find at "System Settings" -> "Data usage" ->"Mobile data". And that is exactly the setting that I'm trying to control through the Power Saver setting. Unfortunately I'm having troubles getting it to turn back on when the screen comes back on.

---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 PM ----------
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
The "data saver" is likely an Android (not kernel) issue. I'd start with logcat. If you use adb, you'll probably have to plug in right after you wake since plugged USB keeps the phone in an active state.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nighthawkca:
Ok, so I am understanding the Power Saver functionality correctly; thanks. But unfortunately it does a great job of turning off the data, but doesn't turn it back on when you turn the screen back on. Any ideas of how I could troubleshoot this problem?

---------- Post added at 02:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------

Thanks, I'll start with that. Here's a bit more info I found while doing some testing to get ready for CatLog usage: I go to the mobile data toggle screen and make sure it's on. I then turn the screen off (or let it time out), wait a few moments and turn it back on. I can see immediately that the mobile data toggle is off but then turns itself back on in a second or two.

So the power saver function is working to toggle the mobile data back on at least in these short tests, but something must be messing it up over the longer term (maybe deep sleep or some other app or ...?). I'll do some testing with CatLog and see what I can find.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
You're letting the phone sit for a little while after the screen comes back on right? It might take it a while for the data to turn back on.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nighthawkca:
Yes, in some cases the screen has been back on for 5 or more minutes before we've realized that data was still off (like when an MMS picture wouldn't download). When it's working, it seems to be just seconds for the data to toggle back on. I'll keep testing different scenarios and try to catch the problem with logcat.

Try flashing another rom, preferably a gingerbread rom and verify that it's the rom/kernel (aokp/team acid ics kernel) that's causing the problem.

The RC that was maintaining it had his phone stolen. He just recently got a SGS4G so he can test stuff as he builds it. With AOKP moving to JB there is no major updates. I think when FB has free time with school and his personal life he will release a updated version with the new kernel added.

Hi FB

Did you try these battery usage tweaks in build.prop ?

I updated/added all ICS lines except for the 'debug' ones in build.prop,

and after battery calibration it really helped me on MIUI.

It could be good for AOKP as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] u170who:
FB, last night i tried to update through Goomanager from 6.04 to 6.05 and it soft bricked my phone. It got stuck on the Samsung logo screen. This morning, i tried to Heimdall one click back, and it wouldn't work. I tried Gremlin remover, and it didn't show my device. If you remember, i always had a problem with flashing new roms with Heimdall one click until i used Gremlin remover (in the past i always just Odin'd back to UVG4). Now, the Heimdall reflashing problem has returned. To summarize, if i attempt to Heimdall one click, it fails, then it wont recognize the device, so i have to Odin back to stock UVG4, then one click again. Gremlin remover wouldn't recognize my device this time around either. Since you are the expert, i was wondering if you knew of something i could do to fix the problem permanently. Thanks for the ROM and advice.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Do you know that "battery calibration" doesn't do much more than drain your battery deeply without need? It's a myth that has been debunked and can be easily confirmed in the source.

Thanks for the pointer to the build.props. Here's an interesting read on modifying build.props that can help one wade through some of the suggested tweaks, as well as help one remember that sometimes these things are set a certain way for a reason.

Hi Jeff

I do know that, but I wasn't refering to the full discharge. I meant the battery stats deletion. This one is required when making such changes.

sent from me
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
OK this question pertains more to FB, Bryan, or jeffsf. Did you guys make any change to the kernel that decreased touch response time? When opening the app drawer, as soon as you touch it it seems to respond ALOT quicker than it used to. The difference is only a few MS but its really noticeable.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I haven't ever been too keen of making build.prop modifications. For now this rom is going to remain as close to official AOKP as possible, which means that most of the changes will have to stem from the source code.

All I can really recommend is to try restarting your computer and trying a different usb port to try and flash back to stock with GR/Heimdall.

I don't think jeff nor bryan made any changes to specifically alter the response times. Jeff's Hefe kernel changes are included in the kernel of this rom now and bryan changed the I/O scheduler to deadline but I'm not too sure those would make your phone seem smoother. Remember that a phone seems to run faster after a fresh flash.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
Ahh OK. I was just wondering because my phone had become a little sluggish even after clean installs of other roms. Then I flashed this one over B4 and it became Usain Bolt lol

Running nice. Did a clean install last night and see to be working good. Now trying to figure out which Sammy app's from Remics I can use that I liked. I am using Touchwiz 4 on yours, I like the animations and scrolling better than stock or Nova, no problems so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I've been looking into it and it seems that the aroma binary is causing a lot of issues with installation. I'll try asking in the AROMA thread to see if other devs have been having problems with aroma crashing or not loading correctly in recovery mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
Noticed a small thing with the status bar. When I brought up GPS test and turned on my GPS, then went to the status bar and turned on my wifi, the wifi symbol had no bars overlayed but was fully connected. Then when I went to the options to change the display back and forth, as soon as I hid the signal strength trying to get the wifi bars back, the signal strength icon was gone. I could go to text and put it on then back to graphic and it was gone. I turned signal/wifi both back to the graphic, rebooted and they're all fine. Something was a bit wonky there with the display but a reboot fixed it.

EDIT

It seems when the one goes to sleep and comes back on, the wifi icon is messed up. I'll get some screen shots in a min of before and after sleep. It also doesn't seem to matter what wifi-sleep options I choose, wifi sleeps as soon as i lock the phone and takes a few seconds to turn back on connect. I have tried all 3 settings and it seems the same amount of time and I can see the wifi toggle turning back on.

This is the kind of difference a "good" governor sometimes makes over a not-so-good one. I'm not sure what you are comparing against, but that may be some of what is behind the difference you are seeing.

As far as I know, on demand was used on all roms by default, and that's what this one is using. That's why I was asking if you guys might have changed any drivers or something else in the kernel that might have enabled faster response times.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
My problems seem to be related to the touchwiz version I was using. Using Smandos TW5 so far seems to have fixed the graphics and running good.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TrenchKato:
I assume that since Now that Jeff's kernel tweaks are included there is no reason to go for the hefe kernel... confirm?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
@Trenchkato

If it's include, then it is included. You can confirm it in the About Phone kernel section. Also if auto-brightness works, then there shouldn't be a reason to add Hefe's unless there comes a newer version and if you want to.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
Auto brightness does work. Enable CUSTOM levels one you flash the rom and then tweak if you want to your own levels.
