Duplicate Media

Old ICS Problem...i've duplicate pictures and music with slim bean 2.0.1 :/

normal/known problem or flash once again?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] prbassplayer:
Delete Media Storage app data reboot, give the phone a while to rescan.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Maddmatt:
I'm confused at the lack of response about the GPS issue. I don't want to be confrontational because I have a lot of respect for you guys.

It's just that it isn't even listed on the bugs section of the site despite being widely reported and being quite an important issue for many of us. I would have stuck with SlimICS if I knew my GPS would break, and if it's not fixed in the next release I'll have to revert.

Maybe it's more in the hands of the CM10/AOKP ROMS that this is based on?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] prbassplayer:
I don't know what to say as I'm 99% sure Krarvind is using the same GPS "fix" as ICS. I haven't jumped over to CM or AOKP in a while to test anything on their end but if you guys can tell me the GPS is bad on SLIM and 5 mins later flash CM10/AOKP with Semaphore and tell me is good I won't list it as a bug. GPS was fine for me the other day, again I rarely use mine as its never been good

gps bug

I use My gps every day for my work, i had a bad gps in the past (wich galaxy s hasn't??) so i did the hardware fix, wich made my gps as good as my Galaxy Ace.

Lock is in bout 5-10secs and i see 10-12 sattelites on Slim ICS rom (wich is the best rom i ever used, Thanks for this)

I changed to Slim bean few days ago, also reported i only have a maximum of 3sattelites, only lockes on 1 of them, and looses the signal frequently while driving.

Like said before, i use the gps every day for my work, so i reverted back to slimICS, and i have a perfectly working gps again.

I know Galaxy S is know for bad gps results, but not many of us dare or try to solder there phone, i did, and i know my gps isnt bad because of bad hardware now :D

Anyways i know the dev's are working hard, is there anything i can do to help fix this problem (for the limited knowledge i have)

I'm prepared to help testing some possible fixes, and test them during the day ;)

the problem is rom/modem/kernel related, i'm 98% sure, because most other roms gives me a good gps signal.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] prbassplayer:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Maddmatt:
Well if you guys are gonna ignore our reports because we don't go out of our way like professional testers then I can't help.

I've used SlimICS and Slim Bean around town enough to know that it used to work in ICS and doesn't in Slim Bean. And the large number of reports makes it pretty clear that there is a bug here.

I need to be in a car to test this properly, I know a 5 minute test between flashing different ROMs isn't a proper way to confirm it. I realise these 30 second tests standing out in the garden where people count how long it takes to get a lock and count the sats are useless and probably annoy you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] prbassplayer:
When ever you do test don't wait a day in between as simple things like cloud coverage affect GPS. And remember all 3 roms with Semaphore
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] robin-sips:
gpsbug

i ain't like falmewars here, this gps thing is nobody's fault and i will test and try to help as far as possible, i like the things your Dev's are doing here for free.

This said i never had any problem with my gps after the hardware fix was done, i live in Belgium were it is raining like 3/4 of the year, clouds are daily use here :D

In fact i'm flashing CM10 atm with semaphore and i can tell you in few mins if the problem is here yes/No, like said With Slim Bean i get 3sattelites here, when i use ICS i get 8 of them easily, so i can give you a reply i a few secs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] senotrius:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] prbassplayer:
Only Nav Bar
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] robin-sips:
Tested with CM10 + newest semaphore, got a lock in 10secs on 8-12 sattelites, signal is good-very good, so this seems to work fine, i'll try Slim's Bean now ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Maddmatt:
Did you drive around though? Because it seems to get the initial lock fine, tracking is the problem. I guess a higher satellite count is positive though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] senotrius:
noooooo ;(

could u please ask krarvind to include it?is it too much to ask.I hope not.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] robin-sips:
i still can't get more then 3-4 sattelites in view with SlimBean, it also locks only 1 of them, somtimes a second one with very low signal, like said above, with CM10 it was working fine. CM10 was tested with semaphore v2.05 (wich is cm10 only)

What version is best to flash under Slim bean?

ps reverting back to Slim ICS atm cuz i got to take a nap, got some things to do tommorow ;)

Not at the moment

As I've said comparing to ics is useless. To be honest unless someone does what I said (mind you with same version of kernel on the 3 roms) I won't know, and I will be busy until Monday or Tuesday to test this myself.

Edit: also providing logcats will help.

Charging behavior

Hi all,

I just wanted to mention something I am experienced since the latest slim ics (4.2). If i turn off the phone and put it under charge I am not able to turn it on pressing the right button unless i don't plug off the charger. Like the button to turn on the phone is deactivated as long as the charger is plugged in? Is this a normal behavior? I used to turn on the phone when charging it till the 4.1 version of slim ics with no problem.

I know this is a minor thing however does anybody have a clue about it?

Cheers,
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] superkoal:
Congrats, you found a new known bug!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mangus_U*RA:
My experience:

I came from CM10 because I'm not fine with the swap partition decision.

Tried today latest slim bean.

With CM10 everything was fine, got great gps with 8-9 satellite fix in about 15 seconds and the navigation is great.

With slim bean everything is fine but GPS... I barely get 1 satellite visible but not fixed. Tried even in car but nothing...

I needed the phone with functional gps so I restored CM10 with the latest pre-swap version.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] elcaro:
I think this is a CM/AOKP 'feature' from a long time. So not a bug.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mangus_U*RA:
Just one other thing:

I saw that on slim bean data roaming is enabled by default...maybe it is a better choice to make it disable by default.

Just the way a lot of the android "community" communicates. Certainly not defending this by any stretch, just try not to take bitter responses here personally. I'm always amazed by how nasty people can be when we all have moments where we don't know all the answers to questions we have and it can be difficult to find them.

Even when we use the search function...just wish people would not answer if they can't be respectful about it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] superkoal:
I'm sorry, but this bug is related to the charge animation (NOT ROM OR KERNEL RELATED!!!), present since the very beginning of slim and CM9 and mentioned about a hundred times in every ICS & JB rom and kernel thread. If you are the first one in Slim Bean thread I apologize and hope that all other guys use the search function.

It sometimes makes me angry when a development thread becomes a FAQ thread.

Sorry if I've been rude to sbdy.

is it a known bug that video recording does not work?just closes,gallery not working and all.camera is working thou.semaphore 2.03 with big mem.kernel related?

flashed cm10 official nightly and was using it for a while.soon came back to slim.slim is so much better.just have to wait longer fr hold back to kill feature.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vega1979:
Thanks for the reply,

Regarding the bug, you said that it is present since the very beginning of slim ICS, but as I already wrote I have experienced it only from the latest version of slim ics. Just to make it clear i am not referring the lack of battery charge animation but to the fact I cannot turn on the phone while keeping it under charge. Indeed, I have been experiencing the lack of battery charge animation from the beginning but not the other problem.

---------- Post added at 08:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 PM ----------

If by gallery not working you mean that the preview is not loaded correctly, as I have already posted (suggested by stratosk) this can be easily solved by clearing mediastorage data and rebooting. Regarding the video recording it works for me although the preview is a little bit jerky but the play backis fine. Actually, I have tried the recording with the bigmem option enabled and with this option I experience your same problem.

Have you actually tried if your phone vibrates (and if not tried to enable it and then checked again)?

The box just unticks itself, but will actually toggle your phone's vibrate-state, so everything works except visualization.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As for GPS. I DO NOT want to hear any more of it unless you test all 3 roms (Slim, AOKP and CM) on the same kernel (semaphore 2.0.3, yes that means a older build of CM10) AND provide a logcat. Anything else will be ignored. I'm sorry but saying it doesn't work doesn't help, we need information. How many locks in "x" amount of time on each rom, how was the weather (please try to do all the test in the shortest amount of time in between) what app where you using, etc.

I was reading the news about the new SlimBean 2.1 and there is nothing about the GPS issue that we have reported.

So, can we assume that the issue will be not resolved with this new version?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Maddmatt:
Surely you have it confirmed enough by now to at least write it as a known bug on the SlimICS site?

Geez guys if you wont even acknowledge the existence of a bug that everyone reports then, as much as I respect your work, do you think all your users are idiots talking rubbish?

I'm not expecting you to rush to fix it but you can at least acknowledge it's existence.

gps

I'm working on this guy's, with the limited knowledge i have i try to provide prbassplayer screenshots of GPStest from Slimbean, CM10 and Aokp all on the same device (wich is hardware fixed for gps) with the same kernel

Very good weather out here so it wel give nice results.

i'm only getting the problem that semaphore made different versions for CM10 or Slim (or other roms with high memory)

both of them are 2.0.3 so it's still ok?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] prbassplayer:
You can use S or none S kernels, I would still recommend using a older CM10 that can use Semaphore 2.0.3 (though 2.0.5 should be the same except for the partition set up so I think it should be fine). Regardless remember to provide Logcats for the Slim test.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] robin-sips:

any1 here can provide me a step by step way to create this logcat?

edit: thanks to prbassplayer, i made the logcats for slimbean and CM10, so pls people do know the devs are working on this gpsbug !

results are speaking for themself i think, 3sattelites in view with Slimbean, only locked on1 or 2, vs 10sattelites in view on cm10 wich was locked on 8 of them.

I can't get into video recording mode to change settings.I already know 720p is broken.the camera FC usually when we try to record with 720p.here it won't even start for me to change into 480p.must be kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ballsofsteel:
I think you have to switch video recording mode to 480p before you enable bigmem....otherwise the video camera will be broken regardless
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] masterg0g0:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] superkoal:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mangus_U*RA:
yes, I have a completly customized gps.conf that works like a charm with CM10 (and semaphore 2.03, God bless stratosk!!)

based on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1239713

So:

same kernel, same settings, same optimized gps.conf.

- cm10: 8-9 fix in 10-15 seconds.

- slimbean 2.01: 1 satellite not fixed after some seconds...and nothing more.

I don't have time to try even aokp, I think that this test is enough to prove that it is a rom-related problem.

I'll see if in the next days I can make another test with slim bean to try provide logcat (last time I forgot because I was in a hurry, my fault).

BTW, do the devs suffer this problem or not? I read so many complaints about gps that I can't believe that devs don't have any.

logcat -d dumps the logcat and exits. logcat without the -d blocks and continues to output. The -d way you can actually exit the terminal by typing "exit". :cyclops:

Can I ask a fundamental question to karvind, I am not able to make sense of developing a jelly bean Rom for our galaxy s. Bcos of the lesser ram jelly bean does not perform well. Slimics 4.2 is what is perfect I think. Hope I don't get punished for asking this question.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pmos69:
That would mean jelly bean would not run well on the nexus s either, and that's not the case.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] prbassplayer:
Only reason it's not performing up to snuff is because alot of the later build devices have slow NANDS. Nexus S works just fine I admit it will run better on a newer device but multi core and more than twice our ram. Our sgs are what 2-3 years old? In tech years that's very old ;)

gps problem

The gps bug is 100% there, and i know for sure it's not kernel related.

as far as i can tell, i sent both logcats of cm10 and Slimbean to the dev's, and i hope they are working on it.

The gps problem is there, if you don't see the difference with another rom, then you probably suffer from the hardware issue the galaxy S has.

Fasterfix has litlle or no difference on locking to sattelites, i live in belgium and even tested with north american settings, the lock takes longer but you will have the same amount of sattelites in view when your gps is locked.

the galaxy s devices have this hardware problem, another common problem is the burn in of the amoled screen, it's samsung fault of crappy engineering, so nobody of the dev's here has any fault.

So pls stop reporting the same problem over and over again, the fix is on Xda forum, the rest is op to the dev's ;)
