On the stock messaging app, I get normal SMS notifications but not MMS notification! Any one have this to?

One more thing, for all of you who said that if you put a class 6 64gb card into the phone and the phone would wipe it accordingly should read this.

When I inserted it in directly it said SD card error. And when you click on the error it says would you like to format the "sdcard" what it actually did was wipe the internal and left the external card with the same error. Luckily I had a titanium backup of my app data, but still.

Formated to fat32 on a computer (45 mins) transfered ~9 gigabytes of data from my old SD card to this one (15 mins) and I'm finally done.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DVJr84:
I skimmed through and didn't see if it was addressed but is there a reason I can't access my external SD card with the baked in file manager?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NYFan:
Thanks! I guess there is no point in me upgrading right now then. Is our phone going to get the 4.2.1 update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] AndroidGee209:
is there anyways to restore a camera app from a different ROM ? i really like the samsung camera and the only rom that has that is embryo 6, if tried to restore a backup and it wont install.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ossito2012:
Funny I just noticed that I can not see my ext card either, phone just not recognizing, not sure which update over past few days jacked it up.

Root Explorer does see card but when I write to it, it gets erased after reboot, will try format on pc to see what happens.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whosgotlag:
If I understand correctly the camera that comes with TouchWiz must be on TouchWiz; likewise the AOSP camera must be on AOSP ROMs. However, I can recommend installing the 4.2 camera because it's great (just Google around for the zip).

Also, it doesn't look like we're getting 4.2 to the guy who asked.

Now for my question - has there been any point in installing the nightlies since the stable release?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] aycockonxion:
I think we'll get 4.2 eventually, but who knows when. Probably about the time the S4 comes out and I upgrade.

And no! There really hasn't been a point in upgrading to any nightly since 11/13!

True. Patience is a virtue. I am still on cm9.1. Gets better battery and no sod than cm10. Newer is not always better

And other than the camera there is nothing that is really new in 4.2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
I'm not so sure that the devs, busting their tails working on cm10 /10.1 would agree with you, I don't and there's plenty new on cm10 /10.1 ;)

The pop-up SMS and quick reply is great!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] epapsiou:
Of course. There is file manager, ota update and many more features.

But for me these features are not important.

The battery life, signal loss and the occasional sod on cm10 outweighs the feature.

To each his own.

I am grateful to all the devs and support them with beer whenever I can but that does not mean I have to like all their work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chinthekng:
When was the last time you used cm10 cuss I haven't had sod's for a while now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
I think you have been under a rock for a while. We haven't had sod issues in a long time. I've never had signal loss or drop. And as for battery lol:D. Those are on cm based ROMs with no custom kernel no oc no UV nothing. Care to bring up other issues I can shoot out of the sky.

Edit: that's the stock 1850mah battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] epapsiou:
I am glad it works for you. Does not work as well for me.

Everyone uses their device differently.

To answer your question:

I started with cm10 stable an updated it frequently (with nightlies) till end of december.

I still get sod once in 2-3 days.

I tried both stock kernel and LigthningZap. I found stock to be better.

I get same battery life as you in cm10, but in cm9.1 I get 22-24 hrs with 6 hr screen time.

Can see that you charged your phone once.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] specter07:
Reason you went so log is that you turned off your data. You put your phone in a state that it's not a phone. You have a huge chuck that the phone is in that state where you turned off the radio. Any phone can last days with the radio off. I have a sprint phone which is out of service and it can last a week on a single charge. Thats because the radios are turned off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
Now let's see you run it with everything on like me lmao. Spectre is right anybody can do what you did.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] epapsiou:
true. But I always turn data off at night as there is no signal in my bedroom.

This is how i use my phone whether i am on cm9 or cm10 or stock.

The point is I am consistent with my usage and that when i do the same with cm10 the battery does not last as long and I get occasional sod

I find cm10 worse than cm9.1 in terms of battery life.

I do not know why people are getting so worked up and some (not you) acting worse than apple fanboys (if that is possible)

I'm using the latest cm version on my skyrocket, and I have to say it's very smooth, quick and i'm just loving it. The only thing I wish I can port over is the calendar from jb and the phone key pad. Thus far it's a rom to be downloaded and used with out worry. Everything works. I did have to install the gapp file it didn't have the play store.

Wondering if this can be available for my Samsung note 10.1?

Big thanks.... Once I get it perfect I think I'll sit on it a while.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ossito2012:
Take a look at the forums for other devices running 10.1, i.e. SGH-I747 Galaxy S3,

You don't want that buggy mess, right now our SkyRocket is King of the Hill in my opinion, not a better phone available than ours when running CM9 or CM10. perfect size, speed, battery life, decent screen, of course until the S4 comes out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Razor1973:
I want to chime in and add my phone to the list of users getting pretty terrible battery life with CM10 on my Skyrocket. It looks like the culprit is the kernel or radio, even though I have tried several AT&T radios, all with similar stress on battery. These screenshots are with very little use. The back of the phone is always warm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] quikt:
not all devices are a buggy mess. p4wifi is holding up very well on cm10.1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] brogdonbr:
Do you know if your phone is going into Deep Sleep? I'm also getting some pretty crummy battery life (I can't make it a full day), but one thing that jumped out at me when I looked at your screenshots is that your CPU frequency is 1512 MHz. Mine is only 384 MHz, and I have no performance issues. I downloaded the apps "BetterBattery Stats" and "CPU Spy" from the Android Market to check and make sure that my phone is going in to Deep Sleep (which it is). I found another forum that describes certain chargers causing wakelocks. I'm pretty sure that wakelocks aren't causing my rotten battery life, as the phone is going into deep sleep 79% of the time.

It just seems odd to me that your processor is running so high...just a thought...maybe that's what is causing your warm phone and terrible battery life?

---------- Post added at 12:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

When you say that you have perfect battery life, do you mind sharing how long you can go on a charge so that I can compare? Fully charged, mine drains down 25% over the course of three hours idling. I can lose 10-20% actively surfing the web for 30 minutes. If I charge overnight, but mid-afternoon of moderate use, I'm dead.

What is and is not "good" is relative, of course...you might think that this is "good"--I'm considering buying a new battery just to see if the battery itself is the culprit rather than the phone.

Battery Life

I'm getting about 11 or so hours with some use, not great but I think I can tweak to get back up to 16-24 hours.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
Yep, granted that my phones screen has only been on for 45 mins so far today, I'm going on over 11 hours total time and I've only lost 25% total so far. You've most surely got a rogue app or bad battery killing you right now.

Just an FYI, I'm on LZ kernel (newest) with Gs2usr's PACman rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] brogdonbr:
Thanks, everyone, for the feedback. I'm going to buy a new battery and see what happens. I'm using a 3rd party (Anker, I think?) 2100 capacity I bought off of Amazon. Also, I did a complete wipe, and I'm trying to install only "essential" apps. No more Facebook or news apps with push notifications. I'm going to use Chrome instead of apps for everything that I can. I suspect the Gmail app, Google Voice, and Google Now might be draining their fair share of the battery, and I set my Exchange email to only sync once a day. The only other apps I installed are MyFitnessPal, Reddit is Fun, and my credit union app. I haven't had time to do a full battery drain yet, so we shall see. I appreciate everyone's perspective, as "good" is such a relative term.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SoCalHTCFuze:
My experience with this ROM was shorter battery life than other Roms for whatever reasons. Unplug 6am. If I did not bump charge it mid day, it would be down under 15% remaining by end of day every day. I have a 1 hr commute each way, using maps, gps, traffic, etc. Use phone and text msg frequently through the course of the day. Gmail, Facebook and EBay notifications enabled but nothing else.

By contrast, the same usage using Slimbean and I often have 40% remaining by end of day without a bump charge. While I have always been a major CM user, I stayed until something improved. I check back every so often but battery life remains the same.

Something to note when comparing to others is age and abuse of their phone. The phones internal components often draw current differently so even if usage seems the same, an identical phone can draw twice as much. My HTC Aria started doing this, new batteries and chargers couldn't fix it. Probably to long a life running overclocked. Went from 16 hr life to max 8 hr life... only 4 house if I surfed on it. :(

---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 PM ----------

BTW, the above was not a bash by any means. I keep returning to run this and compare because CM is still my preferred ROM of choice. Been running it since 6.0. Always leading. Cutting edge software cones with cutting edge problems sometimes. Just have to be patient.

Have you tried using BBS to track down what is causing you battery drain? You cannot just jump to the conclusion that it is somehow the fault of CM10. Your experience is vastly different than most, so it's likely something on your end and not CM10.

Turn off notification lights (bln). Flaw of the S2 is that the phone will be awake as long as a notification light is illuminated.

Change your polling interval on android mail if it's checking too often.

Try to set min CPU to 192 MHz unless you've had issues in the past.

Use a static IP on WiFi if possible, your router is waking up your phone with DHCP packets. If you can't do this, turn off WiFi during sleep (5 mins should be OK).

What is your screen on time? I don't think the phone went to sleep at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ganja_guru:
Turn off location services in the maps application. Open maps -> Menu button -> Settings - > Location Settings :

1). Location reporting: Change this to "Your location is not updated"

2). Turn off location sharing

3). Turn off location history

4). Turn off check ins

This itself should prevent the Maps app from holding the partial wakelock. If you wan't even more battery life, go to (system) settings -> Location services and turn off "Google's location services" and "Location and google search". It goes without saying that GPS and bluetooth should be off too. After doing all of this I have very good battery life on CM10 and CM10 based roms. I use an extended battery and get about 24 hours of usage with about 2 hours of screen time. Wifi and data is turned on all the time. Good luck !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Razor1973:
Just did.

Just did.

Just did both.

I have Gmail (push) and my work Exchange account in Email app (push too). I need both pushing, so those will need to stay that way.

30 seconds, but I had just unplugged the phone a few minutes earlier when I took those screen shots and I barely let the phone sleep during that time. My bad.

Just did all of those.

I'd rather keep "Wi-Fi & mobile network location" enabled, but I do keep GPS and BT disabled all the time on this phone.

Thank you both for your great advise! I will retest and report!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpr69:
With 32 minutes of screen time I could go for at least 24 hours, if not more. I use a pretty aggressive power save mode though, I shut off all data when the screen is off, essentially.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] teeg07:
it seems to me like your phone isnt deep sleeping. Mine does this as well. Try using the stock charger/cable to charge it, but if you dont, restart the phone right after you take it off the charger. You may even want to restart after using stock charger, just for shats and gigs.

an easy app to see if it is deep sleeping or not is cpu spy. It gives you a quick rundown of how much time your phone spent in each cpu state. you will know right away if there is a lot of time in 192mhz and no 'deep sleep' time. You can see mine has 23 minuts of deep sleep time, and 1.5 mins of 192 mhz.

Try that, and then report back.

Did you see my CPU States BBS screenshot? It shows I'm at 192 MHz most of the time, no deep sleep. Do you still recommend CPU Spy? Also, does none of my other screenshots explain why the phone isn't deep sleeping? Wakelocks perhaps? I don't have the original charger. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] teeg07:
Yeah, I saw that its staying in 192 most of the time which is why it rang a bell with me.

Theres a thread somewhere that explains why, but the deep sleep issue has to do with the way it charges. I have yet to find another charger other than stock that allows it to deep sleep after. Other than that, my BBS looks very similar.

That app just is an easy way of seeing if its deep sleeping or not. Def recommend it.

Try charging it and rebooting the phone after you unplug it. Almost positive it will get you a couple more hours.

*edit- any and all stock apple chargers do not allow it to sleep after charging. If you are using one to charge your phone, there is your problem.

Visit the link in post #2337.

Depending on your phone model, there's a free Skyrocket charger test app here, or you can also find ROM Toolbox scripts that will reveal your charging rate and charger type.

You can either modify your charger, buy a special cable (which could fry your PC USB port, or buy a new charger. Search is your friend. :)
