GPS again... and again

Howdy,

So i'm on 10.1.3 stable.

I wasted some weeks trying to find an old nightly that i remembered worked ok.. no luck

So, back to my old GPS problem. I can get a lock, FAST, problem is it is not precise, and i keep getting dropouts...

Anything i can do to fix this? i tried flashing different modes, or radios, thinking they do more than just the mobile network... doesn't seem like it though. Anybody has any ideea?
[Galaxy S II General] olivierg13:
Hello,

Have you tried a full wipe before installing the 10.1.3 stable ? It may fixes various problems since nightlies could have some regression, and you keep some system files between updates.

It fixes my RIL problems, I don't know for GPS.

You can also try FasterGps from Derek Gordon, it will not fix your GPS firmware if it is broken, but if you have a poor reception, it may select a more accurate server for your country (and satellite so).

Cheers,

Olivier.

If the first solution did not work, you could try the free app JB Wifi Tether by Paolo Giachin, and activate your tethering by clicking on the app icon instead of going in parameters (it needs root access).

Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] Stakoman:
same here...and im really confused because im on RC2 since it came out and i've never updated for other nightlies! it just stopped :/

I've downloaded other nightlies with the correct gapps and nothing...and i tried to download the 10.2 nightlies with the correct gapps and nothing...the problem its the same! wifi doesnt even starts searching the nearby networks :(

anyone? thanks guys
[Galaxy S II General] misha0209:
Ok, thank you, will give it a go.

Also, does someone know the answer to these 3 questions:

Does modem affect GPS also?

Where can i find modems that have the android version and timestamp (i can find 4.1.2 modems on the net easy for i9100, not so much 4.2.2)?

What modem do the developers recommend for the 10.1.3 stable?

Thanks!!!

[Galaxy S II General] Viper The Ripper:
No

As I posted before JB Wifi Tether didn't work for me :S
[Galaxy S II General] silent 92:
Well for me after factory reset the device ID will be charged may be because of an app I installed that changes my ID

To resolve the problem I should install stock rom via Odin right ?
[Galaxy S II General] Stakoman:
Guys i dont know whats happening im with RC2 since the day it came out and now of nothing

the WIFI just will not turn ... the option is ON and OFF right after!

I decided to grab a different version of the nightlies and gapps to see what happened and basically everything is the same ... I went back to the original version 4.1.2 samsung and nothing!

the option is ON and OFF right after! and can not even detect networks
[Galaxy S II General] nicoX:
Have issues with the Wi-Fi and JuiceDefender.

It used to work. But then I flashed the stable, I went with modem XXLS8.

Before I ran data/Wi-Fi, now just Wi-Fi. So that could also be an issue. Meaning data activated, but if Wi-Fi was in the area, it choose Wi-Fi. Now I disabled data, because my plan ended. So it only looks for Wi-Fi.

Could someone interpret the log.

The problem is that Wi-Fi sometimes doesn't activate on schedule and also when I manually enable Wi-Fi through JD. Sometimes it does.

Hey guys, I have a question.

From time to time, my device gets slow and when I restart it it loses every widget on the launcher (I'm using Nova Launcher), but also app preferences, lockscreen widget..

I'm using CM10.1.3 Stable, clean wipe with siyah kernel for BLN.

Anyone knows what's causing this behavior, and how to prevent it?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II General] meviox:
Have you already tried to reproduce with the stock CM kernel? That should be the first step. Then, I would clear cache and dalvik from the recovery.

Stable version worked well for me until yesterday. But since then sometimes my phone doesn't get any sound (Music player, ringtone, youtube... it happens all apps). I had to restart phone to fix it. Why does it happen? Is there any fix?
[Galaxy S II General] younggotti82:
Hi guys,

I've been running running 10.1.3 stable on my i9100 for a couple of days and everything is working fine, but a problem I've been experiencing every time I try to connect the phone to my pc (windows 7 64 bit).

If I try to copy some files on the phone, after a couple of minutes I keep getting an error message: "The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected".

The same happens if I connect the phone ad mass storage device.

What could the problem be?

Thanks

I get the same issue on my i9100. What I think is happening is the unit goes into sleep mode and hence has doesn't have enough juice for usb transfers. What I do is keep the screen timeout longer enough for my transfers to complete and it works fine that way. Would be good to have option to keep CPU full power during USB connections. Although I didn't have this issue with stock ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] PhoenixNZ:
Use to be option under developer options to keep screen on while connected by USB. There is in stock. But also some in apps store.

Hope that helps
[Galaxy S II General] younggotti82:
Thanks both for the advise.

I've tried to keep the keep the screen on (both manually and through the option in the developer menu), but it didn't work :(.

Any other idea?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] Viper The Ripper:
Check your wifi preferences, maybe you checked that when the phone screen is off the wifi connection goes off too...

I noticed small problem on official 10.1.3 stable build.

Sometimes when I'm reading received SMS/MMS'es or writing a new one, my screen won't rotate no matter what (stuck on vertical view)

Tried to tick and untic auto-rotate option in my notification bar, but it didn't help. Only solution was reboot. It helped but I hope that you guys know something more about this issue :)

S Planner ?

Hello to everyone in the forum.

First time here, I have swithched on CM10.1 Stable version from Cyanogenmod official site. So far looks good.

Only thing I'm missing from previous stock rom is S Planner app. This one in CM10.1 is ugly as hell compared with S Planner.

Can anybody provide link for this app if it exist, or can I just extract it from Stock rom and install in this one?

Today the alarm on my phone woke me up, "snoozed it", the next time i looked back to my phone, it was on the samsung logo, and stucked there. And honestly i was using one of the last nightles with no issue at all. I didn't messed with my phone for months now. I tryed to reflash the stable 10.1, didn't helped. Alread did a nandroid backup.

In recovery (6.0.3.6) i have a warning No file_contexts, i'm not sure if this was here before or not. So my question is what should i try to do, before i start over (flashing 4.1.2 stock) ?

[Galaxy S II General] Karpfenhai:
Nice post :)

First of all, if your phone is getting hot, your cpu is running at high speed.

You need to figure the reason for that.

CPU spy will become handy here.

A good start would be installing bbs and reading its dump after a certain idle period.if you need help doing that, post a dump in the desired thread.

Second, a slighty undervolted kernel will help to save battery and cool down your phone.

Right now I would recommend apolo regular edition, search in the kernelthread for the right version for android 4.2.2.

So, change kernel, review your setup, grab a bbs dump, improve it even more, be happy.

Btw, with stock battery you should reach at least 3 hours screen on time on a normal day, with extended +4.

Regards.

[Galaxy S II General] TehAndrewRyan:
Thanks for your reply :)

Currently trying out DorimanX to see if I can get better battery life by undervolting slightly.

I actually did an experiment today to check how much battery my phone uses during 30 minutes. I first tried showing daydreams for 30 minutes (airplane mode, screen brightness on 50% and all recent apps cleared. I also was pretty much on a clean install of CM, so barely any apps installed) and then left it with the screen shut off for 30 minutes. Daydreams took 10% of battery while having the screen off used 2%. Isn't 2% a lot when essentially nothing is running on the phone and the screen is turned off? CPU Spy also told me that deep sleep was the most used CPU state during the 30 minute inactivity test.

Another thing I've noticed lately is a bar on top of the screen (where the black notification bar sits) is visible in fullscreen applications, especially if the screen is displaying a blue screen. The top bar is slightly brighter than the rest of the screen and if I look closely I can actually see an indication of where the time would be displayed. Do AMOLED screens suck more battery when the sub-pixels wear out or am I completly wrong about this? I feel like either something like that, or that I have a faulty USB port that causes a small short circuit or something is causing my big battery drain.
[Galaxy S II General] nandaota:
Every time that i update the device is very good. But after some time the screen rotate and proximity sensor stops working. When i restart the device everything returns to normal.

i thought to be a bug of CM 10.2 but when I installed the stable version of CM 10.1.3 the problem continues.

Can anyone help me?
[Galaxy S II General] highdiver_2000:
After you reboot, does it stop again.
[Galaxy S II General] downwiththebanksters:
I have the same exact issues. I tried to use the freshly out of beta CM installer, but it wouldn't work (on my latest Samsung stock for Taiwan, that was rooted), so I simply used the tried and true CWM and flashed the .zip and gapps with standard wiping procedures. The phone has reinstalled all it's previous apps, so I can't claim a clean phone now, but I too am getting frightening battery use (as Andrew says, near 1% per minute), and when this happens it does get warm. I would love to hear other kernel ideas as that was my first guess for the culprit. Is there any better luck on the nightlies?

A different question may be harder to answer is where is CM9? I deleted my copy of the stable version I ran when it was current as I thought I could always download it later. Now due to their going commercial the old files are not there. Where can I find them? CM9 worked fine, sadly this one doesn't seem to be great despite being a "stable".
[Galaxy S II General] GeoPrey:
Hello guys, so I have one problem - my phone freezes every time when I'm trying to transfer files from PC to SGS2 via USB. I posted [Q] thread in Help & Troubleshooting sub-forum but I didn't received any help yet, so that's why I'm asking here. One guy said that this is the CM Kernel problem and it can be solved in 2 different ways: by changing the kernel or by not letting phone screen to "sleep" while files are transferring. Talking about the second way - not let phone screen to "sleep" - can it really solve my problem or that guy was wrong? Btw, if it can really solve my problem, so how I need to set my phone to be awake while files are transferring? I'm asking only because I searched through all setting few times and didn't find any similar option (only phone connection modes was found).
[Galaxy S II General] highdiver_2000:
Yes it helps. You try rebooting the phone. I find that minimizing the window on Windows helps sometimes, especially for Rom.

HDR camera

I don't have any serious problem with this rom. IMO it is more stable even than STOCK rom, and more battery friendly.

One thing is very disappointingly: HDR option in camera. when I use it, it merges two images, but since camera takes too much time between two shots, final image is blurry and unuseful. I had iPhone 5 before, and this option worked great.

Hello everyone. I am a newbie here who wants to have his 4.1.2 TR Stock FW Gt-i9100 rooted and flashed 10.2 CM. I dont have the CWM yet, I have been searching for the best way to root my phone and flash this ROM. I have got a few questions.

1- Is this " Siyah Kernel S2-v6.0beta5 " kernel a good kernel to root and install CWM and to flash CM 10.2 ? ( I know codeworksx tells to use their method of installing CWM but no detailed info was given about the way of using superoneclick and also the links didnt seem to be well)

2- Are there going to be any signal problem on my phone after flashing it? (I've seen someone on the cmforum that tells that they are having it but i have internatiol gs2 so do you think will i have that too?)

3- I'm looking for stability. Do you think if CM10.2 is more stable than 10.1.3 ? I know on the offical site they say that 10.1.3 is the stable one but i also hear that this one has less problems...

Im so new both on the forum and detailed android usage. Sorry for any mistakes if i have made. So much loves and thanks from Turkey :)

How to get APNs

Hi all,

i want to sell my old S2 GT-I9100 to a friend. With samsung official Rom it has a german T-Mobile branding. Of course i will flash him a CM10.1 (thats why i post here).

The question is now: if he chooses an other provider then german T-Mobile, how to get the APN of his provider?

The Baseband-version is I9100BOLPM, will this be a problem? On Page 1494 was a radiocleaner posted, does this help anything? does it make sense to flash it, too?

ty for answere
[Galaxy S II General] chrhei:
He just needs to insert the SIM card. Usually the correct APN is chosen automatically.
