Would you mind sharing what nightly you reverted from and to? Is it 3-21 to 3-20?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] millat1m3:
"Search with camera"

So the "search with camera" function in Google search hasn't worked for me in quite some time. Does anyone have experiences with this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eep2378:
Exactly. If they are worried about the money (phone being to expensive) show them the ST price difference. They could remove you from their att family plan and put you on ST plan and it will be way cheaper in the long run.

Android OS is using 80% of my battery...how do I fix this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Lekerstein:
1. Hold phone upright in your right hand with your right arm extended in front of you.

2. Bend your left leg to a 90 degree angle, such that the sole of your foot is pointing away from and behind you.

3. Bend your right arm towards your body and simultaneously lower your head until your forehead makes contact with the phone.

4. Re-extend your arm.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 vigorously and incessantly.

6. Problem resolved.

7. Profit.

I flashed 3.21 nightly after a full wipe. I'm now getting a notification warning about system storage critically low? when I look in storage I seem to have 2 internal storage's listed. Is this a simple mount point issue in recovery. I did go from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mcala:
You should full wipe again, this time go to mounts & storage, format system, format internal sd, reflash. Very important to make sure rom is on External SD because if you format internal sd you will lose the rom you downloaded onto internal SD. Also fix permissions in advanced tab when install is complete before you reboot.

No, there is not a solution, and that's why Exynos4 devices are stuck on nightlies without M builds or stable builds coming. The only EGL libraries that don't have bugs and glitches like this leak memory like a sieve.

Another thing that hasn't been working right for me for a long time is screen rotation.

Not sure where to report this but I just downloaded

And its able to use SU features without prompting for access...

The app doesn't show up in my list of allowed or denied apps, but it shows in the logs that its been allowed, and I see the toasts every time it accesses SU.

I'm using 3-24 nightly with the included superuser (built in to the settings). Nothing fancy, no extra mods or flashing.

Not sure what other info to provide, but this is kind of a big deal, I certainly don't want apps randomly being granted SU without me ever knowing...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
I reported the issue to koush via github. He discovered the true issue, it affects all of us (or any of us using the baked in su in cm).

If you install an app, grant it su, and then uninstall that app, the preference that you granted su to that app is stored unless you remove it yourself (so if you ever reinstall that app it will still have it's permissions). If you then install a different app there is a chance android will reuse the process id for the new apps su request, which results in the new app obtaining the old apps su privileges.

Very risky ****.

Koush said he will be fixing this, so hopefully we see this fix pushed into nightlies soon.

Since it's 99% identical to I9100, it basically is always at the same state as I9100 with, at most, a few days' delay.

And I9100 is dying too... None of the Exynos4 maintainers are getting any additional Samsungs, we barely touch our existing devices any more, and right now, 4.2 is the end of the line for the current Exynos4 maintainer team.

Does that mean anything for the GS4?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MacAlert:
That'll probably depend on which version is brought over here, Qualcomm or Exynos.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
None of the Exynos maintainers are getting any GS4s, Qualcomm or Exynos based.

Some of the Qualcomm GS3 guys are likely getting one of the Qcom variants (Cyanogen himself is a definite for Tmo or AT&T).

So the Qcom-based GS4s will probably get CM (some specific subvariants might not have maintainers lined up, but similarities between them should lead to it not being TOO hard to be a maintainer for one of the subvariants).

The Exynos-based GS4 is a big unknown - as of yet, no maintainer has expressed interest in the device. Will someone show up - who knows. But most people with enough knowledge to be a maintainer know how much of a nightmare that device is likely to be to work with.

Entropy,

How are you liking the xperia zl? My upgrade is in June, and I will most likely get it if you are pleased with it (by that I mean pleased with the phone, not my decision :)).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I have a Z, not a ZL. Overall it's amazing, and is the first time in a LONG time I've had an Android device that I felt I could enjoy even if I stayed in a bone stock configuration. I do need to do some sort of touchscreen tuning so that water spray doesn't get registered as touch events. (But on nearly any other device in existence, that level of water spray = dead device pretty fast. Yes, I tried playing Parallel Kingdom in the shower just because, in theory, I could. In reality, the touchscreen has issues in that particular environment.)

Its biggest limitation is that mine is a C6603 (Euro LTE version), which lacks UMTS1900. This causes some coverage issues in a lot of cases. The C6602 (Pentaband HSPA+) seems to be unobtainum even if you have special connections.

Your AT&T upgrade is irrelevant since the ZL is only being sold unlocked by Sony. If AT&T ever sells it, you'll get a crippled version with a locked bootloader.

This is the biggest problem with Sony, and a major one - North American availability of their devices is utter and total ****. With the T, you could only get the AT&T-locked-and-crippled TL. With the Z/ZL - you can only get the unlocked ZL. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Slusho:
Biggest issue right now for me is that Media uses up over half the battery. I don't know what constitutes Media, but I'm not watching videos or listening to music. I primarily use Chrome, Pulse, and the Friendcaster widget. Anyone know why this is happening?

Next is that the phone will refuse to wake up about once a day, forcing me to force restart the phone, which uses up about a third of the battery.

Lastly, the pattern unlock sometimes does this thing in which it gets rid of the pattern I was forming part way through, so I have to do it really fast to unlock the phone. This makes it dangerous to use pattern unlock.

It should go without saying that selling subsidized phones is an evil practice. Thank VIshnu that at least one US carrier has moved away from the practice. Hopefully this will cause others to follow. Verizon seems to be mulling over the idea.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Lekerstein:
So under the scenario where all carriers stop selling subsidized phones, does this mean we'll be paying $500+ per phone, or will phone prices drop? Because I sure as heck can't afford $500+ for a phone, but I can afford $200+ for a subsidized one. If all mainstream phones are $500+, then there will be no mainstream phones because no one can afford them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Mll4eveR.:
For the Media issue, it only happens at the time the phone just boots up. I think someone gave the solution to this pages ago. Just leave the phone there for about 10~15 mins while charging. And when the Media is done working it'll just stop consuming battery.

Don't have second and third problems though. Can't help, sorry!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] elherr:
The problem is that carriers build the cost of subsidies, plus a nice tidy profit on said subsidy, into one's monthly bill for services. So you end up paying more for your handset in the end, and are locked into a contract to boot -- along with a locked device. Bad voodoo in my opinion.

T-Mobile's new rate plan, without subsidies, would save my wife & I $1200 per year when compared to our current AT&T plan.

$1200 per year buys a LOT of hardware. I am currently weighing whether it is worth the early termination fees to drop AT&T at this point. One of the downsides of dropping AT&T is our current handsets do not work with T-Mobile's 3G spectrum. Always something....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dcunited08:
Both, you are already paying the price of the phone because it is built into the price of the contract. What will change will be the cost of the phone being more transparent and users will be able to save money if they buy a cheaper phone. This will mean people will continue to buy $500+ phones on credit and pay them off over time. It will also lead to a healthy mid-level class of phones that are almost as good but about half the price, like the Nexus 4. This will give you the choice of saving money over the standard length of the contract OR upgrading more often, your choice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
This is bull****.

If you can afford a $200 phone and $450-600+ or more in subsidy penalties ($25+ a month for a minimum of 18 months if you get an early upgrade) for a total of $650-800 or more, you can afford a $500 phone ASSUMING you can escape those subsidy penalties (which T-Mobile has eliminated along with their subsidies.)

The only problem is - it's REALLY hard to escape those subsidy penalties and still get access to AT&T's network.

Also, T-Mobile is offering financing plans that are separate from the service. I really hope it becomes easier soon to escape the AT&T subsidy penalty.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] msgfromside3:
True. Only reason I got ATT 2 yrs contract a year and half ago was because SGS2 was like 1 cent during Black Friday. That somewhat made sense, but when I still have to pay $200+ with 2yr contract, the math doesn't make any sense at all.

It seems TMO is doing what S Korea is doing - they don't give you subsidy discount on the phone. You have to pay the full price (SGS3 was like a thousand bucks when it first came out there) but they give you financing plans to pay the phone cost in a year or two.

I guess it is all about perception, not math. I see people in US saying that they can't afford paying the full price of a phone up front but willing to pay more over a period of time, just because they pay less at a time. When I talked to a few friends and relatives in S. Korea who they can afford, or rather justify $1k phone, I hear that it is affordable because they pay less at a time (and following the trend matters a lot for people over there).

Freezing Issues on "New Mali" builds for older devices.

My question to the OP or to anyone who might know: Is there a current build of CM10.1 available for the SGH-I777 that was built with the old mali drivers? Is there a method explained anywhere which would allow me to revert to the old mali drivers on a current nightly?

If you're curious as to why one would need such a build, read on. If this issue is already on the OP's radar, then please let me know if you think this can ever be resolved.

I have had a reoccurring problem with CM10.1 since mid February 2013. Nightlies released from that time up to present will cause freezing when playing 3D games. After researching this issue, it would seem that a small group of SGH-I777 owners have experienced this, mentioning that one causal factor could be some level of incompatibility between GS2's of an older build. Searching for "mali freezing" results in several examples of the issue, this is just one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=39392115&postcount=4781

When it freezes up, whatever is happening at that time completely sticks. Sound playing will immediately loop into a rhythmic stutter of the last few milliseconds of what sounds were playing in the game at the time it freezes. The condition of the capacitive buttons at the time of a freeze (lit or unlit) will stay that way in this frozen state. A long press of the power button or a battery pull its the only things that resolve this. I have left my device in a frozen condition for more than 10 minutes and it will not pull itself out of it. A logcat doesn't seem to actually catch the freeze event. I have confirmed that this happens with GTA Vice City, Nova3, Shine Runner, Mass Effect, and Dead Space. These are the only games I play, so there may be more. I've read some reports that disabling in-game sounds resolved some of these issues. Others say that its DAC related or a RAM issue, but all arguments I've seen eventually return to the new mali drivers with OP's usually having newer devices manufactured later than mid 2012 and no freeze issues. My device was manufactured in October 2011.

I don't see why it is not possible to go back if you are proficient with android/linux internals. It should be simply taking cm right before mali change and just taking non-exyno changes from there on (and maybe a few manual file replacements) and compile it yourself. Or sticking to old cm that works for you is easier solution.
