I never restore backups from Titanium backup, never even used it, all are fresh data.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sunsurfer42:
Yes, I did. I don't really have a reboot problem, just happened maybe twice. I'll reinstall and see if it ever happens again.

Hello everyone,

I haven't flash anything for a long time since Vahalla of Whitehawk. Yesterday, I flashed the CM9 Unofficial. I love the ROM so far but it seems like wifi and 4G signal seems very weak if I compare it to my previous ROM. Is this a known issue or it's just to happen on my phone? Before flashing the CM9 ROM, I wiped everything and did one-click to stock then flashed the Antonx's kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KrisM22:
which one? there are 3 on http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V/List_of_ROMs

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
In the main, it is just how it is displayed in the UI. It is the same chip set for both the cell radio and the WiFi, exactly the same "RIL" for the phone, and a similar Broadcom driver for the WiFi. The only real impact is that borderline WiFi signals now may be too low to "show up" in the UI, even though the real signal strength is the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] g4ry12:
This is not the first time I hear that it's all about UI. I am sorry to say it, but my experience is different. The signal strength is really weaker. When I was on Gingerbread, I had a good and stable connections to certain WiFi networks. When I switched to ICS, the signal became so weak, the phone was getting disconnects, OpenVPN connection got lost, videos could not be loaded, web pages were slow to load, and so on. All those symptoms disappear if I just move closer to a router.

So in my experience, it is not just about the number of bars at the top of the screen, not just about networks showing up in the UI. It's about weak signal strength, and it was a clear change when switching to ICS. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how I see it at the moment.

Please understand me right, I love CM9, I use it every day. But if the issue is not recognized, it won't be fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gabrielshaste:
When CM9 first came for this phone it was the most talked about topic. So yes it's recognized. Can't wait for Aries!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KrisM22:
I think the modem software is partially at fault - I find that KJ6 on CM will not shift easily to E, whereas KD1 does(both with added half-wave wire). It insists on a strong 4G signal. With GB, KJ6 is almost as bad. I'm testing KH1(both with no wire but open one side of built in loop(so standing balun). Yes, I will try Aries when it's done to see if changes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Please see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1875282 for my in-depth study of WiFi on GB vs. ICS, as well as how WiFi "works' under Linux and Android and tools that can let you measure performance rather than "number of bars."

On the phone portion, yes the modem selected can vary performance and the ROM has little, if anything, to do with that. The modem also has no impact on WiFi performance; the "phone radio"and the WiFi are different chips.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KrisM22:
Huge thanks Jeff for your intensive work on this an elsewhere. I do hammer your thanks button whenever I see it. But I think the modem software's decision to say "no signal" vs "Edge" signal, and rapidity of doing so, is limiting to the device and the user, and I do see this varying, on compared particular runs with different software, both rom and modem. KJ6 is tuned to a strong signal. Less so on the earlier ones, in my humble experience. I suspect the kern has a slight difference, too, but can't really prove that. I am continuing to work on antenna modifications.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Thelgow:
I was previously on FBis251's AOKP Milestone 6, build 3 when after a while I realized my speeds were horrendous.

Then I got to thinking, and I haven't seen a 3/4g symbol in the status bar for a while, always E.

So I figured it's time for a new rom anyway, so I installed this.

So far I see the same, no 3 or 4g icons as of yet, its been 2 hours.

Also in Settings> About phone> Status, it sats Mobile network type- EDGE:2

Would that say I'm only currently on Edge, or that all I have available is edge?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Settings, Wireless, More, Network

Do you have 2G only selected?

Posted from my AOKP-ified SGS4G
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Thelgow:
I noticed that, and yes it was on.

Disabled it, was still 2E for a bit, but I did see a flicker later and some 3 and H.

2E again, In the middle of Manhattan with towers all over and you would think I could get consistent 3/4G service....

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] JAWheat411:
Still can't figure it out. Can come straight from Cm7 with a normal IMEI to CM9 which messes up my IMEI. I have went to stock 4 times tonight. Last time I did a EFS backup the Tar file was 0 bytes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Zombie138:
well heimdall didnt work on mac, luckly my boss let me use the store computer(windows) to fix my phone. im going to GR on this one since on my computer it got stuck on "setupconnection".

im sad, ive been waiting for something like this and now i cant have it :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mierkat09:
Do i have to go to cm7 first then cm9, or can i go straight from miui revenge first? And what do i do with the readme.bin?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dynamicj:
Well I will be honest my phone tries to connect to Tmobile and says it does but if I goto status it shows "connecting" but never connects. I am going to try another fresh load cause I cant find the issue still. CM7 works fun IMEI is correct. Shows everything it needs to but I can not connect fully to towers.

I blame gremlins personally on a launch event :)

Tried Whitehawkx version AOKP and everything is working now. Probably a quirk or like I said gremlins. I will try it later though its late here.

So, let me get this straight... If I'm coming from VB, and going to CM9, I should flash R11B first, then CM9? I'm pretty excited. You devs do an awesome job! Also, can I restore apps from Titanium? I know I read somewhere not to restore the app's data.

I really don't understand what all the hub-bub is....

I installed from stock gb....did the efs restore in which gave me all 0's but got me connected then flashed ics gapps and dl'd a file manager ,and root explorer and replaced my efs folder with a manual copy I also made as a back up to the flash restore/back up.....and rebooted .....all is good,my imei is fine.

I had to do this cuz when I flashed cm9 my imei was all weird symbols..... but really this ain't no big deal.....just make a manual copy of ur efs folder aswell
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] adobrakic:
Please make sure to get TWRP update from the TWRP thread (not the CM7 thread). Otherwise, you may end up bricking your device like me.

As far as the ROM goes, it's stable enough for me to be a daily driver. The only problem I have is that I can't block apps or change autorun in Gemini. Not really sure why, it worked on CM7.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
The TWRP links on the cm7 thread have been dead for a little while now to prevent people from flashing it since it didn't work anyway. As he said though, go to the TWRP thread. Remember that TWRP is for CM7/GB/MTD roms only!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
Well I'm loving the ROM! Installation was way easier than my first one. Now I'm not such a noob at it. I just flashed CM7, then CM9. No big deal.

Only one issue so far, is that the wi-fi signal is quite weak.

Also, I'm sad about losing all the work I did with UOT. I'm pretty sure it's not compatible with this ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Were you using data or just looking? I think built in to ics/cm9 is a check to see if you are using 3/4G if not it defaults to 2G so you save battery life. Otherwise I would say you might have a bad flash.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KiNG OMaR:
CM or any AOSP based rom will idle at 3G and crank it up to 4G when you're using data (like when you fire up a website).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lexman098:
Couple questions. The "advanced" option in the settings menu was recently made functional, but the option for the nav-key backlight timer is still greyed out. Are the devs planning to add this one in too at some point? I'd love to have that feature.

Also, I originally thought battery life was better for this version, but then my battery drained like 40 percent overnight due to the "android OS" keeping the phone awake. What is the best way to debug this? Is it just a common thing?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Better Battery Stats app is a "must have" to understand wake locks, in my opinion

Posted from my AOKP-ified SGS4G
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
I've been looking into it for the herring/teamacid build, but it will be very difficult to get it to work properly, as we already support BLN, which is sort of conflicting.

The aries build has working backlight timeout controls, but no BLN (afaiu).

I agree with jeffsf, and I also use better battery stats. Try that program and you will find out exactly what is keeping the phone awake.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] VillaCastana321:
I know you didn't mean no harm but am just saying bro I think every android user should know that the first thing they should check is the obvious. Damn media server...I don't have any corrupt files on my SD card and its still taking a significant toll on my battery
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] VillaCastana321:
:( and my brightness is always on low

~IRepSkyTowerInc~
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] VillaCastana321:
Media Server...Grrrr!

~IRepSkyTowerInc~
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
Media server doesn't always mean corrupt files, it also turns on when you watch videos or listen to music, which would make you believe that its draining your battery when actually your just listening to music or video.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] VillaCastana321:
Oh okay and that's what I kinda figured. Some days my battery life is awesome and then other days its terrible
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lexman098:
So I realize this is highly improbable at this point, but please stop supporting BLM if it means adding this feature in :). I've recently found NoLED is much better than BLM because not only does it give you icons on the screen, but it allows polling of app notifications that BLM doesn't catch. Also, BLM's minimum timer is 1 minute which is kind of useless.

This app is really good, but I still feel like I got ripped off (relatively) paying like 3 or 4 dollars for it. It's slightly more fine-grained than the default app statistics and the "spare parts" in CM7 was almost as good as this.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
better battery stats has a free version for members of xda. A fine example of searching and doing homework before buying something.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gregcapps:
What build was this on? If you ate using the Aries teaser build, calling does not work on it. It was just a preview release. Otherwise, it should work fine on other builds.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] n1vlek:
so R8 has the problem whereas the others don't?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gabrielshaste:
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think R8 is the Aries build. I think Brian had a link somewhere in the dev forum for the teaser.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] n1vlek:

R8 is the same as R7 except for it has the hefe kernel. I think? And the calls are working. I know because I just had to listen to my mom for an hour yesterday.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Just to make sure, when you say "conversation," do you mean what some people call a "conference" call (three or more phones involved) or were you having problems calling a single person?

Im currently using this rom, but the wifi doesn't work. any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
There are different revisions of the rom. Then when it comes down to "this rom" there are two variants. There is the test build for aries, then there is the normal build that is in the OP of the dev forum.

I don't understand what "doesn't work" means. This isn't a support forum. If you have a problem, provide some logs.

If you don't know how to do that, use the magical xda search button.

Have they worked before with your carrier? With this phone (perhaps with a different ROM) on your carrier?

If so, it would help to know who your carrier is and how you are trying to set up a conference call.

Any big differences between the Aries build and the Release 8 of 9.1 ? or is 9.1 I read that Aries is the road to ICS perfection. But other than that what can we expect other than more stability, battery life etc.

Any Cyanogen 10 features (I know C10 is based on Jellybean) but Im asking about tweaks or ported stuff?

thx again devs awesome work!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
I would ask in the Jellybean thread about possible future Jellybean activity for this ROM or others.

I can't speak for Bryan, but, from what I've seen, the devs here are focused on a clean, stable kernel. Until that is done, I wouldn't expect anything that isn't performance or stability related here.

:D:D:D Jeff had given me a few links discoursing tests that had been run on carrier and wifi signal display vs strength to alay my concerns on CM vs 2.3.6 . I did establish my best antenna configuration on 2.3.6 . now I've got to test a couple of modems on my black-hole route with R8. I forgot and left KJ6 in there on my first run yesterday so that was a waste! LOL

The idea is that each person's "route" is different, so their needs are better answered by a modem that responds in a way that is best for them in their routes. Here, "I" am more interested, not in the level shown by the bars, but in the absence of an "x" on my routes, but rather a minimally usable "E"

This makes me lol and kind of interested. I was again browsing with Chrome and suddenly when I was typing a Facebook status the screen became "THE RING", so the screen was unresponsive and the brightness for the backlight and the softkey lights were VERY high. This was most likely caused by my processor settings which were SmartAssV2 and OC'ed to 1200 MHz. But hear this, the time when I was browsing that is when it is most likely for the phone to have a soft boot. So any ideas anyone? Btw when this happened I pulled the battery cause nothing was responding and obviously when everything was turned up really high the battery was nom'ed from 87% to around 70%

suggests to me that there may be other components worth investigating, especially since there are people running the same kernel on various ROMs, likely with similar settings, without seeing the effect you are.

can't access sd card in rom - works from cwm

Hi All,

I'm using cm9-20120830 and have been able to use/access my sd card. But since yesterday, I have lost access to app and data that is on my sd card. I am able to access the sd card from clockworkmod and from a pc ( when i put in the sd card in laptop). I have restored to an earlier nandroid backup and same issue with sdcard. Under settings > storage > sd card -> it is grayed out (insert an sd card for mounting). /mnt/sdcard and /sdcard are both blank.

I have no idea what may have caused this. Can someone help on this issue?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Make a backup of your files right away!

Plug your sd card into your computer and make a backup before you possibly lose everything. After this you can try re-formatting your sd card and copying the files back to it to test on the phone again.

Battery Issues

First, I've really enjoyed using this ROM, thanks for all the tremendous work you have put into it. Second, I am new to this phone and these forums. I have tried to do as much searching as I can over the past few days. I haven't found a response to this, so apologies beforehand if there is an easy answer.

The battery has been draining significantly faster with this ROM. Using Battery Widget Reborn Beta, I'm showing a Delta1% change every 6 minutes 44 seconds (It will get as high as 10 minutes with the wifi off). Android's battery stats shows 18% for Android OS, 17% for the screen, 15% for Wi-Fi and 13% for Cell Standby. Maps shows 9% of the usage (I'm assuming that is due to Google Latitude). I've attached the Better Battery dump and screenshot of the Android stats. Again, apologies if this is a known issue or if you have explained fixes elsewhere. I realize that you are hoping to improve battery life, so hopefully the battery stats will help.

I am having another problem with a bluetooth headset connecting and disconnecting, but I will post that later when I'm able to provide the logcat info.

Thanks again.
