Okay, guys. It's been a while since I've posted in this thread, but it appears as though I've finally found my first bump in the night. Heh.

I've been running the CM10.1 Nightly for i777 since early January with zero problems outside of the occasional bug that's always been fixed the with the next nightly. Now however, I've run into something that didn't get fixed when I update and it's a doozy.

Yesterday at Church, I managed to drain the battery to the point where the phone turned itself off and wouldn't turn back on for the first time since I bought the device. The problem is that when I got home and plugged it, and got the battery charged back up...the WiFi no longer works. At all. I can't enable it using the quick settings widget, it doesn't turned on during boot, if I go into the phone settings, the On/Off switch is greyed out, going into the WiFi options, the phone appears stuck at the "Turning WiFi on..." stage and likewise, if I look in Android System Info, the WiFi is frozen at "WIFI_STATE_ENABLING".

Does anybody have any suggestions of things I could try that don't involve a complete wipe and starting over? There are a couple games that I don't want to my progress on (both are those endless runner type and one contains rewards that were time sensitive - ie, I wouldn't be able to get them again if I lost the data).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
I would forget all my Wi-Fi access points, wipe cache and dalvik and try setting them up again. If that didn't work I would try a dirty flash of my ROM. Not a big nighties fan so I may not be giving you the best advice but I don't see what it would hurt to try.

If you have to factory wipe, you can back up the game and the data with titanium back up. When you restore, just make sure you select restore app +data

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] IndigoAK:
I decided to backup manually since I didn't feel like spending money on what would probably be the only time I'd use a backup app in the space of several months.

Wiping the cache and dalvik cache didn't work, and I can't delete my networks because as far as the phone is concerned, there isn't a working WiFi chip. There is no list of networks for me to delete.

I guess it's on to a factory reset.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Try flashing without factory wipe first. Just wipe cache and dalvik

Edit: you won't lose all your data that way

Do you mean downloading the nightly file and flashing it from recovery without using the CM updater from inside the OS?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Hmm... I'm not familiar with that process. When mine updates I just download the zip file to my SD card and flash it in cwm. If I don't select factory wipe it just flashes over the current ROM without any data being erased. I would ask over in your ROM thread or wait and see what Mr cook says. He's always got some good advice.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] IndigoAK:
Flashing the ROM file from CWM doesn't seem to have worked, so I'm going to try a factory reset now. If that fails, I suppose I'll just wait for Mr. Cook. As an aside, the phone is now also unable to properly mount the external SD card. It says the path is invalid.

(Edit: Factory reset worked.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Glad you got it fixed. If you figure out what caused it to do that please share with us :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] IndigoAK:
I don't know nearly enough about Android or this phone on a technical level to know what exactly did it. All I know is that I drained the battery completely playing a game, forcing the phone to shut off and when I recharged it and turned it back on, the wifi didn't work and the external SD card wouldn't mount until I did a factory reset.

If I had to guess, something got corrupted somewhere when the phone turned itself off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
And your SD problem was fixed too?

Yup. Everything works normally now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
I would be very careful not to let the battery get that low. It seems like every time someone has a phone that won't turn on the last thing that happened was they let the battery get so low the phone died, or they let it get too hot playing games while it's on the charger.

So I flashed Shomans update doing a full wipe and everything and then flashed ajk 1.25 after using the same method as i always have but my phone's not booting up. It goes through the yellow triangle boot image then i get the ajk boot image, then the screen goes black and the phone gets hot. I can hold down the power button and reboot but it just does the same thing.

Trying to get back into recovery now...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
Did you check your download? Also did you boot it before flashing AJK? It sounds like it might be a bad download, file system missing or corrupt.

Sent from my SGH-S959G
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
...no... i did not check the download:(

I didnt boot up before flashing ajk for sure. I did the cooks factory rom wipe .zip, flashed SS3 2.6, wiped cache, dalvik, flashed ajk 1.25s, reboot rec, reset extweaks, fix perms, reboot.

I am back on 2.5.9 now... what was that app you told me to use to check a zip file??? :embarrassed:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
I use file expert to check mine.

Also sho updated the base to xxlsj, so AJK may not be compatible until aj updates the kernel to include it.

Sent from my SGH-S959G
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
The MD5's check out so it must be because of the base change to XXLSJ... whatever that means

Did Sho ever change recovery to TWRP? I see in the op it still says you must be running CWM... I thought he changed that? If its not changed cant I just flash the rom and run the jeebo kernel thats incluide

If you still prefer an older version, you can make it work on newer Samsung based ROMs by editing build.prop to mimic an older revision.

For example, in build.prop change ro.build.PDA= line to say ro.build.PDA=I777XWLS8 .

Does the nfc feature work on our phones? If so, does it work with ss3 v2.5.9? When I put it up to another device it displays the pretty stars and says touch to beam. When I do it disappears as though it was beamed away. Yet the other person doesn't receive anything. I made sure they had nfc turned on and do did I. Confuses me...

Big Thanks

I searched the world wide web far and wide for support on my Straight Talk SGH-S959G and found next to nothing of merit until I came across this thread. Thanks a million mr-cook. I learned all I know about my device either from your first post or from web searches sparked by your terminology. I also shared some PMs with razen_kain which set the final touches on my device and now I am running prime!

I used the first post to root my device and flash CWM through Odin using all the files provided except that I used Odin3 v3.07 instead and it worked well for me. I did much research on CM nightlies before I was turned on to SHOstock3 which runs outstanding!

I flashed SHOstock3 and followed it with AJK v1.52s which is an excellent combination so far but it cannot be flashed properly with the CWM from the first post. You have to flash PhilZ CWM 6.0.2.7 which includes additional advanced options to properly flash the AJK kernel.

I will sum it up by saying.. Big thanks to mr-cook, aj newkirk, PhilZ, razen_kain and any developers I may have left out involved in my setup. And another thank you to you people posting on this thread and asking questions. I've scanned this thread alone to get where I'm out and now I can thank yall for my badass phone. I appreciate it because with out yall and everybody at XDA phones like this would be left in the dust due to lack of support from the provider.

Yesterday no problems. Today, messaging lags everywhere from typing to sending to switching between message threads. No issues with lagging anywhere else.

Also when calling after connected and it starts ringing my screen stays black and I have to reboot everytime. I can initiate a phone call and turn the screen off and on via proximity sensor but once it actually begins to ring it goes black and stays black for the remainder of the call. No soft key response either. Cant use keypad or end calls. Nothing but long hold the power button to reboot.

Any suggestions?..

---------- Post added at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------

Im still open to suggestions but I reflashed kernel and deleted all text messages and so far its all good. Call screen fixed and messaging is not lagging. Ill update in case somebody else has the same problem

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DalbeyDigital:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
The best advice I can give you with this kernel is leave it on the default profile for a couple of days to let it set in before you tinker with the settings.

I have found that rom/kernel combo has some behavior problems if you don't.

If you don't like the default profile you could just pick a profile from the profiles tab in stweaks. But once you do, just leave it be for a couple of days/charging cycles. Then tweak away
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DalbeyDigital:
I see there are three selections in cwm..use the default there? Is that the same setting as on stweaks just a different location?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
I would think so, but tbh I can't say

Edit: there are more profile options under the profiles tab in stweaks than there are in cwm

I was being sarcastic about newer being better. Hopefully it was the first JP, I think they just released a 3D version (not available on VHS).

We just got the modem today so too early to tell if it's better, but I wouldn't think it would be worse. Odds are it will make no difference at all, but it's new so people want it. I've been running it all day without issue.

Does the modem have anything to do with how the phone communicates with the Wi-Fi router... I'm getting .02 mbps on piece of junk belkin router. Laptops pulling down 20mbps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EzSqueezeCheese:
Indeed, it was the first one. I just made the switch to sho's 2.6 a couple of hours before he released v3 including the new modem. I might wait a little while before updating.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
It may, but I honestly I don't know. I thought the kernel had more to do with WiFi than anything else. I get 20+ mb consistently on WiFi with the speedtest app, but actual download speeds vary greatly depending on where things are being downloaded from.

EDIT: WiFi is controlled by the kernel, the modem will have no affect.

Also the router, connection, and internet provider/ service will also be factors.

All I want to know us will it fix aj's Wi-Fi toggle problem. It is giving me fits on this alliance rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Spinergy02:
That toggle problem was fixed a while back. Can't remember which version, but I know it works with 1.49 on cm10.1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Yes there have been 2 versions of Aj's kernel that the wifi toggle has worked (at least with my phone). 1.48s (same as the 1.49 youre using i believe) and siyah 7.9 ...i think anyways. Bottom line is neither of those are stable on my phone. 1.25s has been his best power/stability wise but the wifi toggle has always had that bug and i have tried EVERY version since i started using siyah.

I think it has something to do with the auto wifi off in stweaks. I only say that because of the way the bug behaves: When i click the wifi toggle, it lights up but does not turn on the wifi. BUT if i turn the screen off and back on again wifi turns on immediately.

It never bothered me when i was on SHOstock3 bc i could just click it twice on his rom and it would come on. But on this Alliance rom that trick does not work. Either screen off and back on, or go into settings and turn it on manually. It gets old fast.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
Best fix for this is to never turn it off. It doesn't use much battery at all to just leave it on.
