APNs Disappearing when WiFi Disabled

I installed Cyanogenmod 10.1 on my Straight Talk SGS2- SGH-S959G today. I followed all instructions and everything boots fine except the APNs will all disappear when I turn off WiFi. It seems the phone only connect to the mobile network if my WiFi radio is enabled. Is this a current bug in Cyanogenmod 10.1? Also if WiFi is turned off and I try to add an APN and save it, nothing happens. I also get an error when booting about not connecting to the mobile network but it goes away as soon as WiFi connects. I have been able to make a test call so at least that part of the mobile network is working. I'm not sure if data is actually working since I need to have WiFi for the mobile network to stay enabled. BTW when WiFi is disabled, the network signal bar goes grey. It's almost as if the two are tied together in the settings.

Anyone know anything about this issue? Thanks for all the info in this thread btw.

Ok so I got it working with the Stock APN at the top of the thread. It now works with 3G and H+ so that is good. I still occasionally have the APNs drop away after a reboot. I can only get them back with a combination of power off and on and rebooting. Eventually I get them back. Kinda annoying. Also I notice the time comes up wrong after power on/off. Anyone heard of this stuff before? I have tried installing the APN Backup program but it won't work with the version of Android that comes with Cyanogenmod 10.1. Thanks.

It looks like they have a fix for the baseband loading. Should be included soon. The time just needs set manually.

Jellybam 6.4.0???

Has anyone flashed the jellybam rom yet? And if so, have you tried aj's kernel with it??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trperic:
I went back to the CM nightly builds. I have a question though.

I installed the AJK kernel which seemed to fix a few bugs with the video camera. My question is, when the next CM nightly comes out and I install it, will it over-write my AJK kernel with the CM kernel? If I choose to use a custom kernel must I reflash it each time I update the ROM? If anyone could answer I would appreciate it, thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Titan380:
Yes you will have to flash the kernel again after every rom flash

Yes the 3g/h+ toggles back and forth. You will notice the H+ kicks in when you use mobile data and drops back to 3g when it's idle. I think it's supposed to save battery.

OH yeah...

If you want to use AJK (and you want to use AJK with SHOstock3) You need to flash philZ cwm from the OP. You will see where it says that it is compatible with AJK. Click the link my signature to get to the AJK thread and you can download from there. You're going to want the samsung download. You'll see when you get there. Be sure to follow AJ's instructions for installation exactly.

First u have to flash the Philz cwm recovery, then just flash the ajk kernel. Make sure to read to directions for the kernel.

Google play usually updates automatically the first time you open it, or when you sign in to your account while setting up the phone. It's in setting, app manager, all. Try clearing the data from there first, if that doesn't work try uninstalling from there which should just remove the updates.

Alright thanks :) I'll try it in a bit :) do I have to factory reset, cache and Davilk wipe again? :( so I can back up my stuff :o

And is there a way to make it do straight talk can't throttle my data? I remember reading back in December that you had to change an ApN setting, but the guys MMS stopped working or something like that. :o
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:

Okay sorry to bother you guys again but FOUR times my phone froze on me today. 1 while listening to music sped up, 1 while texting using Go SMS, 1 while using Air Sync to play music from my phone to xbox, and 1 while using the facebook messaging app. Yesterday wheb i was jusy on shoshock this wasnt happening. It happened today that I installed AJK :/ I had to completely turn off the phone because it froze for 10 minutes and I couldnt even force close the app or anything:(

Also is it normal for the wifi to have the H+ arrows (the orange and green arrows)below them? And is the battery supposed to look a little off? Lime for example when I look at battery usage and it tells me I have 60, it looks like i have 80% :o

And one last question. Is it natural to turn off and/or reboot your phone omly to find out that you lost like 20% of battery while turning it on or rebooting? -.-
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
Try wiping cache and dalvik. Then fix permissions. See if that stops the freeze ups.

WiFi icon is normal.

Battery icon. Go to settings, display, and select circle battery, and battery percentage and you will be much happier.

Battery displaying incorrectly/ dropping on reboot is a bug with this phone. There's no fixing it.

In my experience I have never seen any actual battery savings form undervolting the CPU. Best case scenario, you are only able to undervolt by a fraction of a percent, and you almost always lose at least some stability.

GPU undervolting is a bit different. I can take my i777 down to a Step 1 setup of 62Mhz @ 800mv or 850mv, and I actually can tell a small battery savings. Factory default for the GPU is 267Mhz@1050mv so this is in effect a 20% battery savings as compared to stock.

The best thing about having the GPU setup with 4 or 5 steps is that you can do the 62Mhz@850mv thing and still run the highest step at 330Mhz@1100mv for intense gaming.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:

This is probably a stupid question but I'm going to ask anyway... I play words w/ friends and hanging w/friends will gpu settings effect my battery life in those games? And do gpu settings effect any other aspects of the phone other than gameplay?

The right set of GPU settings will help. If you get too low you may start to see artifacts on the screen as you play games or watch videos.

I would suggest that you start with these settings:

GPUFREQ1=62

GPUFREQ2=160

GPUFREQ3=200

GPUFREQ4=267

GPUFREQ5=330

GPUVOLT1=850

GPUVOLT2=900

GPUVOLT3=950

GPUVOLT4=1000

GPUVOLT5=1050

GPUTHRESHOLD1UP=80

GPUTHRESHOLD2DOWN=30

GPUTHRESHOLD2UP=80

GPUTHRESHOLD3DOWN=50

GPUTHRESHOLD3UP=85

GPUTHRESHOLD4DOWN=60

GPUTHRESHOLD4UP=90

GPUTHRESHOLD5DOWN=60

And remember that you cannot hurt your phone at all. BUT be sure that you have a plan to reset the profiles in case your phone can't boot using any new settings - whether it be CPU or GPU settings changes.

Also when I get a call from time to time I would pull the phone away from my ear and the screen would not come back on. The only way I could end the call would be to reboot the phone using the power key. Also I have noticed quite often that when I wake the phone up it takes a second or two from the time I hit the power key.

I tried reflashing AJK 1.25 last night hoping maybe I forgot a wipe or got a bad install. So far seems to be better this morning but haven't had much of a chance to use it being at work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Just to be sure, you did reboot recovery after you flashed the kernel, reset tweaks profile, then fix permissions? As well as wipe cache and dalvik before you flashed?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Leelouster:
So I was browsing through STweaks, and I found a couple of options I wanna ask about :

In 'Other' if you go down to the near the bottom, there's some battery tweaking options there. Such as: Battery AC Charge Current, Battery MISC Charge Current, and Battery USB Charge Current.

Will changing any of these affect my battery's battery life?

In 'Profiles' theres: Extreme Battery, Battery, Default, Performance, Extreme Performance, and RAV4KAR Balanced Profile. Which one would be best without affecting performance, and what does the last profile do?

In 'Sound' you can adjust the headphone level, gain, mic gain, and speaker level

Will increasing these options damage my headphones and/or speakers? And what's the difference between level and gain?

Thanks in advance for your help :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mr-cook:
Battery currents only affect charging. They are better left alone, you could harm your battery or worse your phone.

Profiles- RAV4KAR is a balanced profile. It gets good battery life without hurting the phones preformance.

Sound. Yes increasing audio output could damage headphones, and speakers. You would then be using a lower volume.

Level- is just making it louder or quieter.

Gain- is basically input amplification (it is actually kind of complicated) if you turn up your mic gain you will be louder to the person you're talking to, but it will also increase the amount if background noise picked up, also if you speak to loudly you could "overdrive" the mic. Meaning it will cut out and you will not be heard.

I use the RAV4KAR profile, and change all the sound settings to 0 except the analog headphone level I set at -2 because I think my earbuds are too loud.
