I finally updated to B6M3 yesterday. I did my usual, GR to stock, format sd, then flash the latest. It's been great so far, until a little while ago. When I got up today, my battery was at about %60. I plugged it up to charge, and was messing with it a little. Well, when I got done messing with it, I noticed the battery had actually gone DOWN, to 22%. This was over about two hours. I've never seen the battery go down while charging. Anyways, I just rebooted, wiped caches, and fixed permissions. I'm going to let it sit for a bit, and every so often, I'll unplug the charger from the phone, and plug it back in. I'll update this post with a log in a little while, after I see what it's going to do.

Is there anything else I should do before I get the log, so you can see what's going on?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
@Wodensman

Battery has been on discussion for some time now. Check the apps you are using and how you use the phone. Give it 2 or 3 days with some charging circles.

About battery, sometimes when you reboot at around 60% it goes down to around 20% or less. Also, if it runs out of battery and you put it to charge for some minutes and trn it on it goes to 70%. Anyone else experienced this?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
@Chris

I'm aware of the battery discussion. I've been on B6M2 for a long time, and JUST switched to M3. I never had any problems like that at all on M2. Anyways, it appears that fixing permissions fixed the problem, and my phone is charging correctly now.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
A large number of problems can be fixed by fixing permissions and wiping the two caches. Sometimes a installed app will go all derp mode and forget its permissions. Remember clear caches first then fix permissions tho.

It appears that Pico TTS is not functional. "Listen to an example" does not provide any output, at least for en_US or en_GB. Google Text-to-speech does.

System Settings > Language & input > Text-to-speech output

From lolcat:

I/ActivityManager( 224): START {act=android.speech.tts.engine.GET_SAMPLE_TEXT pkg=com.svox.pico cmp=com.svox.pico/.GetSampleText (has extras)} from pid 7395

Awesome replacement for stock tts.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Check the T&C before you install it. As I read it, they can share your data with any 3rd party. While Google is moderately bad about privacy these days, this (and several other "helpful" apps, such as voice-command utilities) freely collect and share more than I personally would want to.

Edit -- Added excerpts from T&C

Since "technical and related information" is not defined, it could include everything you had TTS "say" as well as anything that the app's permissions lets it collect, which includes your phone state, numbers dialed, received, your network information (both carrier and WiFi), anything on your SD card,...

I have to admit I don't know how strict "use of personal data" regulations and/or practices are in Poland, but that wording doesn't inspire confidence.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Yeah Ive been using this for a while. It is one the best free replacements that dont sound like a robot. I looked at the t & c and nothing super worry some popped up.

jeff sometimes pico tts voice modules dont install. I thought about that after I posted this. Not sure how to fix it. That is why I started to use ivona.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
For some reason, my phone isn't charging while playing games. It actually loses battery, even though it's on the charger. Is this normal?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
How are you charging? Plugged into computer or wall?

Its known that if you are using the phone while plugged into a pc usb it will not pull enough juice to charge.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
Ah, thanks eollie. I guess I just never noticed before. I haven't charged from the wall.... ever... I never noticed it to lose battery while plugged into my pc though. Thanks for the explanation, and sorry for the noob question.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Not really a noob question as much as a wow never knew that question :D. If you need to charge from the pc there are adapters that will combine two ports into one to bump the power up.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] vopezy:
Fell asleep with it charging on the PC and woke up after 6 hours with it stopped at 77%.

Wifi/Data/Notifications Constantly On

I have a problem with my phone constantly downloading (so much that I blew through my 2gig data cap in 4 days unknowingly). The wifi indicator shows that it's constantly downloading, even though I've checked my sync settings for every 10 minutes. Notifications are also a problem as they are also constantly going off. Even when I clear the notifications, they repopulate with the same e-mails/texts that I have read before.

Battery life has also been significantly diminished probably due to it constantly downloading. The battery usage shows Android OS at over 50% with the other categories around 4% or less.

I've gone ahead and cleared both caches and then fixed permissions to no avail. Not sure what to do and haven't found this problem here on the forums yet. Any suggestions?

I'm wondering if I need to use gremlin remover (does that work for AOKP?) and just start over if there's no fix for it but would rather not have to reload my apps, backup my phone contacts, etc. Thanks in advance!

Kurly
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
As much as you don't want to hear this, it is probably your apps. ICS has a built-in bandwidth monitor (I'm in GB right now, but I recall it being under System Settings) so you can hopefully see what app is causing the problem. I'd start there, and if that didn't resolve it, start with a "clean" install and either slowly add in apps, or do "bisection" where you split the apps in half, then in half again, then in half again,... until you find the problematic app.

If I were to completely guess at a cause, I'd say that data was restored from GB onto ICS for an app that had its database schema change and now the app can't sucessfully write to its own database. If so, it was most likely a system app.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KurlyK:
Thanks for the advice. I did go and check data usage and it appears that it's the Exchange Services for Hotmail that's causing it to use so much bandwidth even though I have it set to check e-mail every 10 minutes and never have had this issue before. I went back and deleted the apps that I installed around the time it started acting up. I also deleted my Hotmail synch'd account and the wifi indicator still shows it's connecting every 30 seconds or so. I'll try and set it up again to see if that will fix it but considering I've deleted it and it's still connecting, not sure if that's going to work.

Any other suggestions on what's going on? This is so frustrating as it's killing my data usage and I've been throttled down and it's killing my battery.

Edit: I did delete and then re-do the Hotmail account but the wifi indicator keeps showing that it's connect every 30 seconds or so even though the setting is set for every 15 minutes. So guess that didn't work. Is there anyway to delete and reinstall Microsoft Exchange server to see if that addresses it?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Did you use TiBackup or something similar to restore your account information and/or data for Email from a GB backup? If so, it is possible that the settings or data store have been corrupted. I'd start with a "clean" flash of AOKP and not restore your Email data from GB, but re-create the account to test if that is the problem. I'd just look at Email, without restoring anything else, then, given what I found, decide if I just wanted to clear all data from Email, or "start from fresh" and install my other apps and data.

How much "back history" of mail are you requesting? It may be that you just have hundreds of megabytes (or gigabytes) of data that are trying to be stored on your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Thelgow:
I'm guessing this is an ICS issue but I'm having issues with my silent/vibrate modes and what not.

Prior to this I had Valhalla Final. and on my galaxy s non 4g I never had this problem.

I would set it to vibrate only, so no txt or calls made audio. The system volume was unaffected. Listen to mp3s, watch a vid, etc.

Now with this rom I set it to vibrate only. If at anytime any volume settings are touched it turns off the silent mode and goes to town making noise.

Am I missing something?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Have you looked at System Settings > Sound > Volumes for the setting of the "Link volumes" and "Link mute states" checkboxes?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KurlyK:
I went ahead, uninstalled/deleted the Hotmail account, deleted the apps prior to the problems happening and reset advanced power controls. Seems to have done the work as the Android system usage has dropped considerably and the wifi indicator doesn't show data always being sent. Thanks for ya'lls help!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] snipersquad8:
OK so today I was using my phone when goo manager had said that there was a new update available. I go really excited, but when I checked, goo FC. Not wanting to give up, I opened it again and checked for updates. Again, it said there was an update. But when I went to download it, it said there was no update. Little odd. So I went into browse compatible roms, but it said there were no(!) roms available. Same thing when I clicked browse all! So is goo broken, or maybe its the fact that I'm throttled on edge at the moment? Or was there another update that hasn't been announced yet?

Sent from my SGH-T959V
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
m4xm4n said that the goo.im servers are down for the weekend which GooManger uses. I'm sure it's a bug in the app that might say there's an update available when there's no connection to the server.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bitcloud30:
i smell another update is coming UP :))
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
You building? FB has been busy with real work where you get dirty from real live dirt.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] despos:
goo manager

goo manager says there is an UPDATE :) but i cant download or install :( sad face
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bitcloud30:
If you read the page before this u'll understand why :)

@eol nope i thought fb is gonna raise another update :p
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ReelFiles:
Dagnabbit, I got excited for a minute :/
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
Well, there's an update now. :) Build 4 is up!

EDIT:

I have found a weird thing when writing texts. If you add a non English character like á, É or so... the texts are cut in length by 65 characters, you can keep writing and you will notice that it counts as two characters when next text in reach. I don't know if I'm spelling this correctly or explaining myself well but here's what I do:

Write a bunch of random letters, ad a foreign character like Á. Then keep writing, watch the character and text count. Now sen it to yourself and see that when sending it was like sending various texts but when received is only one.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
As I recall, the spec for SMS messages (this is dark, dusty parts of my memory from AMPS days) is only single-byte characters, and then only a subset of them. I am guessing that what is happening is that the message is being encoded into a double-byte format. 140/2 = 70, less a few for an "interpret as double-byte" headers is probably what gives you the 65-character limit.

One possible reference -- http://www.csoft.co.uk/sms/character_sets/gsm.htm

is it posible to Have MIUIv4 task manager in AOKP? also is it possible to Have CM9 status bar in AOKP?(the one with the date and time on it). Thanks any info is greatly welcome
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Task manager: not that I know of

Clock/date: Look in system settings > rom control. There are options to customize the date/time in the status bar.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Zixx:
Oh I see thanks man I got date and time to show up in the bar xp

tried to update from build 3 and got bootloop :mad:

also tried to update from stock GB and bootloop again
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
@ xr1charxx

Use a one click to go back to GB, any GB ROM, then flash Anton's kernel Basic with a Twist, then flash this. That's what I would do and I think you should be good.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xr1charxx:
I still get bout loop. Tried it twice.

how to check the md5sum of a file on windows
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bitcloud30:
HOW TO?

how can i modify my screen if a messages pops and my screen will light up? :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] teknicz:
Welp, not sure what changed in the new build, but my Voodoo Sound Smart Amplifier problem is solved! Everything works as it should; no more weird volume issues that required constant rebooting to temporarily fix.

Thanks! Terrific ROM.

Does anyone know if the "text and cursor doesn't show up in SMS messages randomly unless you exit out and restart SMS app" thing still happens?

EDIT: Spoke too soon! Both problems still exist.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Please help us understand what you would like to accomplish. Is it

I would like my phone to wake when I get an incoming SMS/MMS message

I would like my phone to wake and display the message when I get an incoming SMS/MMS message

I would like the soft keys (Menu, Home, Back, Search) to light up when I get an incoming SMS/MMS

or something else?

I believe the first two would require a custom Messaging app that can wake the phone. Display of the message in the notification area is already done by the stock Messaging app. To have Messaging come to the front showing the most-recently received message would likely require additional modifications to the app.

The last can be controlled using this ROM with the BLN Control app (free, or fully featured Pro version)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Don't forget that it's included as of this version. I forgot to mention it since it was supposed to work and was included in the last version (milestone 6 build3) but I had a bug in aroma that wouldn't let the apps in the update.zip/data install correctly.

Anyway now the rom comes with it along with supersu and MiFileExplorer
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bitcloud30:
update

About the messaging stuff i final found how to work it out its in BLN xD i just had ti play with it though :)..thanks anyway :D

Last Sunday i downloaded the latest update and i works fine until i choose to customize until i got into my apps where some of them are showing "Unfortunately, (name of the app) has stopped", even the Play Store i cant access it i tried to "clear data and clear cache" hoping it will cure the problem am having...i need help here :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Reboot to recovery and fix those permissions.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bitcloud30:
its still persist and how about every time i restart it says "android is upgrading" this started last sunday and until now actually..will i ignore it or not?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Do a factory reset. This will wipe all your apps/data so make a backup.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
After you factory reset if this still persists (android is upgrading) move any apps you made system apps back to user apps. Especially if you changed launchers and pushed it to system.

After I thought about it some if you uninstalled or froze a app that the rom relies on for secondary support it will force close repeatedly. So I would reinstall the rom and gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nighthawkca:
I just flashed M6 Build 4 and it is running AWESOME besides the issue that SMS message fail to send if they are longer than 160 characters. Is KG4 still the recommended modem to fix the problem? Do I just follow link in FB's sig, download the modem file, and then flash it from TWRP? (no wipes, cleans or other special procedures needed?)

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
The kg4 modem has been included since last build. Go into settings > about phone to verify. Try sending a long message to yourself to test
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nighthawkca:
The Baseband version is listed as T959VUVKJ6. That means that the modem is KJ6, right? I'm on Build number IMM76I and Mod Version aokp_galaxys4gmtd_milestone-6 .

This is my daughters phone and I did send multiple texts of varying lengths to my phone and found that they consistently failed when over 160 characters.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Ah that's odd. Ill have to look into which modem is in the rom zip. You can flash the kg4 padded modem from my signature though and it'll fix that for you
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Warrenforfree:
I have this problem before right after flashing gapps.. what i did is reboot to recovery wipe cache, dalvik cache and fix permissions and its gone and u have to wait for

10 minutes or so before doing anything..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nighthawkca:
Thanks FB, it's all working perfectly now with the kg4 modem. Awesome ROM, thanks for transforming this GS4G from a mediocre GB phone into a lean, mean and fast ICS machine. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] scoop_dtx:
I enjoy all aokp has but feel the phone apk is slow feeling. Any ideas or thoughts?

I nituce Switching between phone and contacts seems to lag.

On latest build fresh wipe instead of upgrade.

It's more than perfect as is!

Phone issue

Hello.

I have seen this issue posted by other users, but it usually seems to be in reverse. I know some are not able to hear the people calling them but the other person can hear them. I am able to hear the person calling, but they can't hear me. The volume up/down fix doesn't work for me and I always need to hang up and call them again or wait for them to call back.

Is this an issue anyone has run into before? I'm using build 4 with the stock phone app and KG4 kernel. I've also tried a clean wipe and re-flash. It's an intermittent issue, so it's difficult to capture a log of as well. Please forgive me if this has been addressed already--I just did a long search and couldn't find a clear solution.

Thanks in advance.

My wife is having some random text message issues with phone. Seems like it sometimes fails to send a message, but is timestamped as sent. And a few times not receive texts.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
I think it has something to do with BLN control. After I used it my texts would come in but I wouldn't have a notification at all. Clearings caches and fixing perms didn't do a thing, had to reflash to fix it

Just noticed that any type of video I play flickers. Any idea of why it would do this?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
You might have a bad flash. Try backing up your data, and doing a factory reset. If that doesn't fix it try re-flashing the rom. Test out that the videos you were viewing before don't have the same problem on a clean rom (don't restore your apps yet).

Once you have verified that video works fine with a clean rom, go ahead and restore your apps. It might be because of some apps you installed or gremlins, but as far as I know, nobody else has reported this issue with m6b4.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
FB is absolutely right, I have not experienced this on m6b4. I tried to reproduce your issue and was not successful. If his advice doesn't work try to redownload the Rom. Or use gremlin remover and start from scratch

Hey all, I flashed gapps, but now I only have the play store. Is that all that's in there or should I try flashing it again?

Thanks in advance.

So far this rom is awesome! Oh, and while I'm here, I've been checking things out since I flashed a few days ago, but what are some features/functionality that I might easily overlook. Coming from VB FB edition btw.

Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
You should have Play Store as well as "bits" that are required for the other Google apps to run. Many of the apps you will need to download from Play Store. I consider that "a plus" though others might see it an annoyance. I would definitely download new versions of the Google apps you want (rather than restore backups).

It sounds like your linkkeys have gotten corrupted or the Bluetooth ID of your phone has changed -- both mysterious things.

Have you tried "forgetting" all your Bluetooth devices and re-pairing them?
