Is anyone else that's running 11-14-12 having issues with charging? I'm pretty sure it's a hardware issue, but my phone is constantly showing "charging" when it isn't. I vaguely remember this issue earlier in this or the CM9 thread, and what I've googled leads me to believe it's a faulty USB port. I just wanted to rule out software before I blame hardware. Does anyone have experience with this problem?

Symptoms:

Always reporting charging.

Discharges while "charging".

Charges while plugged in.

Can be discovered and mounted on PC.

Immediately boots after a shut down with no intervention on my part.

Removing the battery and placing it back in has it boot as soon as the battery is seated.

Multiple wipes and reflashes had no effect.

Cleaning port w/ alcohol briefly switched it back to "discharging", but then reported unplugged as "charging" and plugged as "discharging", quickly went back to constant "charging".

Plugging in a spare cable halfway into the port gets it to consistently report discharging, until I either remove it or push it all the way in.

If it isn't software I'm thinking it's either the port or the battery itself.

Yeah, all those extra line breaks could be a problem. TextEdit in plain text mode should be ok for editing scripts.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] msgfromside3:
kakao is known to be battery drainer. If you want to keep it with less battery consumption, it has an option to disable auto restart. Turn that off. You will get msg sometimes only when you open the app.

For Maps, there are plenty of discussion in this thread. Basically turn off Google Now. (well.. kakao has been discussed for a year from different threads actually)

BTW, this type of questions (Kakao talk) shouldn't be asked here..

thanks for your response ... and I did not ask abt Kakao talk in particular ... I was talking abt the ROM having some battery drain issues since its 11/10 release ... previously releases I did not have problems evn with the app running in normal mode ..... but after 11/10 I started getting some issue with the battery .... and wanted to know how to kill apps evn after failing to kill them using a Task killer app ...

@squidlord

Your phone receives data fine on the wap.Cingular apn as well? When I first changed it, inside my apartment Ive always gotten average of 2.5-3mbps lately. This morning after the switch I was getting almost 6mbps. Although when I got towards work I was hitting 9mbps-10. Where I normally see at most 7, but I am noticing some sort of stall out like others have stated on the old apn. For me it seems almost unstable, where I'll go from h+ to 3g stall then back to h+ for a burst. Definitely try it, can't hurt and all you need to do is use the att lte settings changing it to phone as someone posted above. I'm gonna run wire shark tonight and see if I'll take a look in the morning at what's going on.

After testing for last 2hours Im now getting much better and stable speeds on the wap apn settings. Also I just read an article that displayed the lte settings profile is for att pre paid and or lte users. So who knows whats what as att isn't saying much. All I know is both are working for me, except the latter giving me erratic behavior. I've also noticed better speeds whenever GPS data is updated.

Hi. i'm unable to find a FAQ or a post that describes the difference between picking a nightly vs. a stable build of CM10. It looks as though there was a stable CM10 released last week (in my CM10 updates list on my phone, I presume this is the build that has no change-log and says instead that this is a new build). After this specific entry on my list, there are 3 new nightlies. Am I correct in this assumption? And, if so, are these most recent nightlies built atop of the stable? Or is stable a completely different beast?

Any info appreciated. Thx.

Have a weird issue after flashing the 11/17 nightly.. Normally I flash CM10 and then a Touchwiz UX package I have, but now on 11/17, even though everything installed properly, I can't use TW anymore. Permissions are set, all the other S apps work (even the AccuWeather widget) but Touchwiz launcher is a no go. I have no defaults set but when i hit the home button, it just goes to Trebuchet, no option to choose. Is there something that could've changed between 11/15 and 11/17 that might have broken it???

EDIT: I'm gonna guess it was a bad download maybe? Did another full wipe and went for 11/18 and its all back to normal now.

on the latest nightly on the Galaxy S2 I777 the notification bar no longer allows you to scroll through sound settings. You touch it, get your click sounds but it never scrolls through settings.

I was able to transfer youtube links and whatnot with my friend's Galaxy S3 the other day. Didn't try much more.

I'm having an issue with the quick reply feature using the stock cm messaging app.

When I receive a message the quick reply will show it twice (as in it shows 1 of 2 and I can slide to the next message and it will be the same message). When viewing the conversation in the app itself there are no duplicates. The notification also does not duplicate, just for some reason the quick reply window duplicates the messages. It doesn't happen with every message, but most do.

Any ideas?

Not sure what the stock behavior is, but the BT stack in CM10 seems odd under these circumstances:

CM10 phone hooked up to my car via hands-free link. Works fine with the car. But when I want to use voice dictation when the BT hands free is enabled, (which is the preferred data entry method while driving!), voice entry seems inaccessible for almost 60 seconds before it comes available. In Google Search, I get an "initializing" message, and in the keyboard, the voice icon just won't light up for about a minute.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CallMeAria:
Did you leave it in recovery when you feel asleep? Or I suppose it's possible the phone was stuck in a bootloop until it eventually just died. I can't imagine much else could cause a drain like that while the phone thought it was was powered down...

EDIT: I guess it's also possible that the battery level being reported was incorrect. That's a huge error though. I've seen it off upwards of 20% but nothing as drastic as what your screenshot shows.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Lucke:
nope, none of the above. i posted to facebook and checked my work email before i hit the power button to shut the screen off... when i woke up, it wouldn't turn on until i held the power button for ~10 seconds only to show me it had 3% left... my battery was pretty warm too.

this type of thing happens quite often for me, yet nobody has been able to diagnose as to why.

it's happened with no apps installed after a fresh clean install, and it seems to happen randomly. yesterday i was on an hour long call and the screen was shut off... thought it was just my prox. sensor, but the power button did nothing. had to force a reboot, then it froze up 3 more times in the next 30 min.

sometimes it will work perfectly for a few days until locking up on my several times within an hour. it's highly confusing and quite aggravating at the same time. i just hope i can find my next phone so that i can take an 8lb sledgehammer to this POS :p
