All is fine until I switch to 1080p, than the preview gets zoomed.

Screen looks weird after flashing back to Stock ROM from CM10.1?

Hi all,

I have been using CM10.1 for a very long while and decided to test out stock rom again to compare GPS performances..

My GPS on CM10.1 has been very inaccurate and sometimes halfway during my runs, GPS lock would drop and be unable to lock back on despite 10 satellites being available.

Anyways, i noticed that after flashing stock rom, my screen looks v weird: everything looks jaggy especially small sized fonts and icons..

i do not remember stock rom looking like this... is it that CM10.1 looks so much better than stock, or is it that CM10.1 somehow modified some anti-aliasing or resolution settings?

i remember this was like a nightly update a long while ago in CM10.1 that makes everything look awful and you need to go to Settings -> System and change the display setting somewhere in there...

Can anyone please help clarify?

Thanks,

denny

I wonder if it can be changed to not do that...
[Galaxy S II General] alb3rtt:
It's been 2 years so I doubt it.
[Galaxy S II General] ph3n0mII:
All good, i just read up on it..hardware sensor division limitation..

I also just noticed a bug:

If you open camera and switch to video mode then press the back or home button, most times but not all, when you open camera again its in photo mode but there is no image preview, and then:

1). If you press the blue button it crashes gallery.

2). If you switch to video and back to photo mode quickly (if you're able to), it crashes gallery

3). If you leave it a few seconds when you open it then switch to video mode, it crashes gallery

4). If you press the back or home button it crashes gallery

5). Sometimes if you quickly switch to video mode and open settings and press the back button it restores normal functionality.

6). Most above behaviours are inconsistent

Who else can reproduce this?
[Galaxy S II General] CRXed:
2 GPS patches were merged in the latest nightly to actually use the psc field, while the 'magic trick' that Codeworkx implemented before was just to add a fake field there. Fake field is now filled with actual data.

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/45566/

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/45564

So maybe those changes made GPS performance worse again?

Maybe [MENTION=5247306]ghepeu[/MENTION] or [MENTION=4824020]Qaweck[/MENTION] can elaborate on this, as they found out about this pcs field.

I'm on CM 10.1 23/07/13

Noticed that all my daydreams stay vertical when started automatically from the stock lockscreen or Apex Launcher.

Doesn't auto-rotate at all.

But if it started automatically from an app that auto-rotates the daydream auto-rotates as well.

Is this the intended behavior?

Nice to leave the i9100 community in the past, not for the people but for the device itself.

I have a Qualcom based GS4 now and it's really nice.

I still think it is a wonderful device with a lot of power but Samsung destroyed all the fun with the source-gate.

I think this is a known issue but.. Is there any workaround?

Searched the forum and couldn't find anything related to my problem (Or I guess I used the wrong keyword lol)

So here's the problem:

When I have a call with my friend using a headset that has a mic, the audio output gets recorded too, so it's like, the sound going to the mic is recorded, AND the sound that I hear is being recorded too, giving a "feedback" sounds to my friend whom I called.

I thought there was something wrong with the app (it was a LINE call), but then I tried to record something while playing a music in Poweramp, I can still hear the music, alongside with my voice.

This did not happen in stock.

If it's not a bug, but a feature, then I think it's a great way to record a song cover lol

no matter haht rom i am on, i get mad over heating. though i love this rom which i've just installed, the overheating continues. is there something wrong with my baseband version, or something else? i've attached my phone details and an example of my battery usage.
[Galaxy S II General] playitlouder:
Hey there :laugh:

I am having some trouble with games and stuff.

Some games seem to crash my phone everytime I try to play them.

The Simpsons tapped out for example. Intro plays, about a minute of gameplay -- frozen (not just the app, the whole phone)

The Sims -- Same deal

Real Racing 3 -- Same deal

Riptide GP 2 (demoed on the Google Event yesterday, great game!) -- Phone gets pretty warm while playing in highest settings. Phone Freezes from 5-10 Minutes Gameplay. But I don't think it overheats because it happens if I pull it out of the protective case too.

These freezes are annoying, but if you "brick" your phone by pulling the battery it isn't fun anymore :rolleyes: I have to restore a backup, reflash ROM, fixing permissions, wipe /cache doesn't help. Its stuck on the I9100 screen with the exclamation mark then...

Couldn't make a logcat yet. But I will post one soon, after I installed the latest nightly again and played a bit :good:

Hope there is a fix ;) don't wanna trash my old S2 yet :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
It might be one of your apps. Have you tried a full wipe, and try it without too much apps installed? Don't restore data from an old ROM.

It's a known issue, and there is no fix for it on the i9100. Maybe try disabling sound.

Also, there is no need to pull the battery out, you can always do a hard reset, by holding the power button for about 10 seconds, until it restarts.
[Galaxy S II General] el-grosso:
I always full wipe and I don't restore anything from my old setup, except stuff syned from my gmail account. Many apps are reinstalled htough from this, so I will unsintall a bunch and see if there is an improvement. Thanks for the help!

Could I be on the wrong modem or something? Baseband? Maybe I need a physical new battery?
[Galaxy S II General] T4underbolt:
This is amazing. I was sticky to stable roms always but since I found CM nightly 10.1 its so smooth and fast. I didn't notice any bug yet.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
Yes, it could be a hardware issue also, who knows. You can try a different baseband, just in case.
[Galaxy S II General] playitlouder:
I know I can reset it that way ;) But that doesn't help if the phone doesn't wanna boot anymore...
[Galaxy S II General] el-grosso:
Any suggestions that work well with cyanogenmod? I am currently on:

Baseband version: I0100PBVLP7, and the rest of the details are in the attached picture.

Could I ask for your setup, so I can try and reciprocate your phones functionality?
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
If it boots with battery plug, it should boot with hard reset.

I have the "latest" baseband, the XXLQ6 since like forever, and I had no issues with it. Others had more success with other basebands. The rest of my settings are default.
[Galaxy S II General] ouzowtf:
Since I flashed 20130724 nightly yesterday CM battery app tells me that GPS is turned on the whole time. But it's off since at least 20 hours! I triple checked it already :(

I have exactly the same problem. My cellular operator limits maximum MMS size to 300kB, while the CM10.1 limit is higher. I am able to send a picture when I manually resize it so it's smaller than 300kB, but not when the MMS.apk does it for me - in such case it just sends it forever, exactly like [MENTION=4943498]zaraza23[/MENTION] wrote.

My proposition: there should be configurable maximum size of MMS somewhere in settings. It would allow to send bigger messages where it's possible, while leaving the possibility to reduce their size for compatibility.

There's one more issue I'm facing, though. Every about 30 received messages I get no notification for a new text. I mean, there is no sound, no vibration and no icon in the notification center. The conversation in messaging app is highlighted, though, and there is a new message waiting for me. It is really annoying, so I'd be glad to be able to somehow help debugging this problem.

I had 86% battery yesterday at lunchtime, went shopping and used google maps for 2 mins, pressed back to close maps and turned off gps via notification toggle.

My Google Maps is 'greenified' BTW, fresh format+install yesterday morning. Got home an hour later to 17% battery.:eek:

Also, when new google maps came out I had intermittent slow and inaccurate GPS lock (always 3 streets away and would lose lock every 20 seconds or so), but last few days it locks quicker than stock samsung from cold boot the last 20 or so times i've tested it. I'm using stock north-america gps.conf, haven't touched it

I think I might use my other spare GS2 to video record it (video or it never happened:p):good::good::good:

In regards to android 4.3, i don't really care about it much for the GS2, i'd be much happier sticking with 4.2.2 until(if?) it gets 'signed off'

I think cm10.1 with 4.2.2 is progressing too well to dump it and start the whole rigmarole again:cool:
