@ Farmfield Not whining, just interpreting Samsung's words and arguing from past experiences with other companies. It's just the way it is. First they sell you 500€ devices, then they take forever to give you updates, if at all, then, after less than 2 years, they just forget about their LAST years FLAGSHIP and drop support and expect you to deal with it and accept it. Readily opening up your wallet for their next flaghship which will go through the same procedure one year from now....

I could understand it, if the phone was a sub 150€ low range phone, but it isn't. More than 20 million units were sold. I'm glad I made a bargain on ebay with my S2 and only paid 200€ for it in great condition. I'm sure many people are way more angry because they paid the full price or are stuck with it on contract.

And yes, the freezing bug at least 5 or 6 users in this thread and vsync thread have it, two with logs, another two promised to post one the next time it happens. I'll post one as well when it happens again.

@ karendar Not fed up enough to go for a Nexus but still quite annoying. Actually, if Google would have put an microSD slot or at least offer 8, 16,32 and 64GB options for Nexus 4, I would have probably gotten one already. I'm quite sure a 32GB version will be released within 4 months, for the price which the 16GB version is now, right on time for Mobile World Congress next February. Similar to what happend with Nexus 7.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] petedaddi:
I'm waiting till December 24th, if no update or leak of jellybean then its the Nexus 4 for Christmas. At £280 for 16gb (don't need more) its a steal.

Back on topic running 11 09 on stock kernel and everything is hunkydory. No freezes, reboots or excessive battery drain. :D

@drsoran2

Sorry but most of what you wrote was continued whining and I really don't want to be an ****hole here but I just can't friggin stand it. Imo it's so very basic: No one promised you anything in the first place. I hate this 'blame Samsung' crap - people just demand these devices should be updated - it's just f****** phones. They are made to be thrown in the wall. Getting any updates EVER is basically good enough.

So. If you demand updates, buy an AOSP device where they basically promise updates. In all other cases you're whining over not getting something you were never promised - and I for one can't stand it. Period.

Anyone managed to get rid of flickering screen when keep touching in a scrooling page or something like that ? For me, sometimes I don't get that bothering effect, but it's there 90% of the time... frustrating. (latest vsync_sysf stock)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
90% really? In which apps? I only get it in 'Appy Geek' (always) but not in browser, Tapatalk, Facebook a.s.o...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kicksilver:
Yes, they have.

I know what you mean.

Now if you keep your finger on the screen (browser, for ex), it stays stationary.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] kicksilver:
Has anything been modified regarding the recharge speed?

It used to charge like 50%/h, now it took 3 hours to charge to 76%!

Battery on 12/11 is good, siyah v4 :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] JeyLo:
Hy, I couldn't find stock TaskManager app on start menu, it's very strange. Please add this app to any mirror on WEB(or where i can find it, in rooted mode).

I'm using latest 12.11.2012 ROM and Siyah 5 from there(Ukrainian user, and translation).

Please help me to solve this annoying bug.

Speed and smoothness is awesome.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Cosmin G.:
Yes, it's ok in browser or Facebook app. But I get that in Launcher (stock), Go sms, Contacts... Sometimes doesn't happen, but just sometimes...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Spiralzz:
That's a feature of stock ROMs. AOSP doesn't have it built-in. I guess you could try out some app in the Play Store. Also, that feature/app isn't needed on Android.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kicksilver:
That's stock Samsung rom only, as it's a TouchWiz feature.

But you don't need that at all.

Is this fix already included ? (Siyah v4)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mcm811:
It's not kernel. It's android_frameworks_base.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ruzzah:
Screen lasted me 4 hours, all on full brightness, browsing web and watching YouTube. I'm pleased.

Media still takes a lot of battery at boot for 10 minutes, will this be fixed? Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] carlocarrera:
im not sure but i guess its not a "bug" you can fix.

its just the way the mediascanner works.

if you have 30gb of data it takes 10min`s to scan all of it and that will take some battery.

but only if you boot or reboot your device, so nothing that bothers me.

ps: as far as i know the "bug" in th early nightly`s was that after mediascanner was done scanning, it wouldn't stop.

but was fixed a long time ago.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gilc8:
So you are saying that if I have 16G of music on my S2, the media will be scanned every time the phone boot up? this is 15% of battery on every reboot...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] carlocarrera:
if it is 15% in your case than yes i guess it will take that 15% every time.

not sure if that kind of behavior (mediascanner) is a "bug" but since now it is like that.

but i dont think you really loose 15% only because of the mediascanner.

if i let my phone boot up (2000mah battery+43gb of data) it takes 10min and 2-4%.

and i dont reboot my phone (if i dont flash any roms ;) every day, so i wont loose much battery.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gilc8:
Hope it will be taking care of, cause in CM9 (stable) I didnt have that issue, it is pretty critical for me.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Spiralzz:
I though media scanner scanned only when we flash/update ROM...? Mine doesn't scan at every reboot, only after the first reboot after flashing the ROM..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kicksilver:
This media scanner is critical, yes.

In ICS it was fine.

When I boot, I go to applications > all > media storage and force stop it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gilc8:
Stop it won't effect the usability of those audio files?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] carlocarrera:
you are right.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nero325:
Thanks ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kicksilver:
I think everytime you move/create/delete a file, it triggers the media scanner quickly to take note of your action.

If you boot up and kill the media scanner service, and then 5 minutes after you add a song, it´ll run and make it visible on the players.

Today I booted up, and killed the scanner. In BBS, it showed a wakelock of 15 seconds, which was the time I took to kill it.

Now, 6 hours later, and after taking some picutres/screenshots and deleting a couple of files, BBS shows MediaScannerService with a 1m24s wakelock, which means it ran quickly to index those files.

I might be wrong,though. Hope mcm can clear this up.

This is awkward. :o

Rebooted, and it's working again.

All hail mcm!!! :laugh::victory::victory:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
I reverted back to 24/9 me too. So yes, I had the FC issue also - I was cocky and thought I didn't without checking, always a bad idea. :D

But I made too much money ($100-200/years) snapping news pix with my phones these last 5 years, I won't dare not knowing I have a working camera... You never know when a random blue ice crapsicle will fall from the sky, randomly killing 12 elderly ladies playing boule. Think to be there, not having a camera. That would be truly disastrous.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] drsoran2:
so here's the link for the 24th build. I hope the download works: http://sdrv.ms/PVuTQm

Read my post before yours. :eek:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ozgame:
25b still causes camera FCs :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
Yeah, as the issue is in the CM10 source. Someone needs to fix the bug, revert the change or cherry-pick-remove the commit before building. Or you can just revert to 24/9 and wait for a stable build. ;)

I don't know why, but it's nearly 900 points better than yesterday using 24 linaro build and same siyah with same settings.

Amazing, I've nerver seen my phone that smooth and fast.

I always do a little responsiveness test: bringing up and down the notification drawer really super fast and check how late it is after my thumb.

It haven't been so close to my thumb yet, confirming the benchmark result.

Camera getting gallery FC as everyone, I'm ok with it, it's a phone, not a camera, I'll wait patiently for the fix :).

You came to the Galaxy S2 CM10 thread to get a Nexus 4?? No wonder you missed out!

:p
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
Yeah. The N4 has no hardware homekey so it sucks as bad as all other f***** Android phones without hardware key's. I'll even take touchwiz before either messing about with the pwr-key or mess about with slide2wake crap... Also, a ton of people will drop their N4s thus breaking it as it has glass on both sides - you guy's can as well buy a Iphone 4... That is how interested I am in the Nexus 4. Now gtfo and pester the N4 forum or whatever.

Hehe, that is not entirely untrue - but man am I tired of two things, people whining over Samsung and people saying how they want the N4... Just f***** buy one already & leave these threads... I don't care. I'm very satisfied with the S2 and are so amazingly uninterested about the N4...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] PhoenixNZ:
Back on topic and I can say that 18/10 was a very good build.

Now there wasn't much screen time, only 2 hrs, but wifi was on constantly and did tapatalk fair bit, plus web browsing and bit of gaming (bubble-shoot).

AND, I have been looking for longer stand-by time more that screen-on time. Currently 3days.

Please no boo-hooing on hardly using the phone. The one thing I felt was a disappointment changing to a Android phone was the abysmal stand-by time.

OK, last phone was a Nokia E75, but I had 7 days stand-by with plenty of texting.

And these results on my S2 are impressive IMO.:silly:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] petedaddi:
Your right that is not entirely untrue, I posted a link to a N4 on ebay that some bean bag is trying to get £1200 for it cos they've sold out, not for anyone that maybe interested in buying one. But I see everyone's getting way too serious in here just like the official thread.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] MrMarques01:
Okay guys, I've got a strange an annoying bug since a few builds. That bug only appears on mcm's build, not on the official nightlies.

Whenever I've plugged in the charger, the currently active app gets killed when unlocking the screen. This is easily reproducable:

1. Open the gallery app

2. Plug in the charger (I'm charging my phone with the power network charger, not the USB charger)

3. Press the power button so the display shuts off

4. Wait a few seconds

5. Turn on the screen by pressing the home button and unlock the screen

6. After a second or so the gallery app gets closed.

The problem is, since I charge my phone over the night and also use it as my alarm clock. That means that the alarm clock gets closed when it starts the alarm and turns the screen on.

Of course, this is not an acceptable situation, as I eventually won't wake up in the morning due to a closed alarm app.

The only workarround I currently have is to turn off the option to kill the foreground app by holding the back button in the developer options.

So it seems like when the charger is plugged in, and the screen turns on, some faulty back button press event is recognized by the system so it thinks the back button is pressed.

Can anyone confirm that problem? Maybe mcm can have a look at it.

Slide to wake doesn't drain anything, unless you wake it accidentally.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Farmfield:
What, I've only been 'arguing' about people whining and/or talking about the Nexus 4, else I don't know what you're referring to... But this build and the nightlies are the same accept for vsync and some other tweaks, volume boost and such, and so are the bugs - but not much of those now. Some get soft reboot when installing/uninstalling apps, some still have the RIL crashes, and of course the audio/headset volume thingie... But I have very little problems myself, nothing that makes me whine anyways... ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ruzzah:
The only bug that pisses me off extremely bad is the volume level, I play music and for some reason it jumps to full even when I press volume down, its at full till I press up then down. Not only is that a problem but it happened to my alarm volume too, set at full, it didn't make a noise and I was late to school. Once drivers come out that'll be great.

Another bug I notice is that recently the vibrator is acting retarded and cutting out at times and making a weird noise.

Can we somehow get an option to enable/disable data in power menu like in stock? Main reason I ask is because I turn data off to save battery and data bandwidth and one of my funny friends tried to unlock my phone and locked me out with no way to reset, had to plug in USB and adb commands. I was lucky to have USB debugging on, not everyone does and I don't want this to happen to anyone else.
