Hi again,

i see GPS is a big issue here...maybe it will get solved :P

though when i initially posted, there were 2 question, but one paled in comparison to GPS. so, let me try again

i would like to know if there is something i can do to make the system keep apps in memory. like the phone app.

i would also like contacts and messaging to be kept in memory. it would make the device run smoother (or at least trick you into thinking that :P)

any ideeas? thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] Edvin73:
GPS is working and well on 1807 but it was working from 1507 on.And for the "keep in memory" thing, I think that if you leave messaging and contacts in "recent apps" and you don't wipe them, you will have your "smoother" stuff but CM is fast enough even without this crap.
[Galaxy S II General] timostr:
I'm fighting as well with GPS problem (i.e. no GPS lock, taking ages to get GPS lock, not precise GPS (30 m), instable GPS lock)

What I'm done so far and my observations:

16.07.2013: Installed cm-10.1-20130715-GPSTEST-i9100.zip. RESULT: Fast lock. However after ~30 Minutes GPS lost during my jogging (grr)

16.07.2013: Installed NTPSync App: RESULT no noticable difference

17.07.2013: Flashing agps.patch.google.build.cwm.v3.1.zip on top of nightly. That script mainly configures gps.conf. RESULT: Seems to be better. Maybe just imagination

18.07.2013: Replacing play store version 4.1.6 with version 4.1.10, using latest nigthly + agps.patch, because that version has location bug fixes RESULT: 5-6 Seconds until lock. Today - I get still very fast GPS fix (even often indoors). Still no sure about the root cause(s)

You Tube Worst Experience.....

Had youtube uninstalled n installed couple of times every time i have watch video n whn i scrool video in betn or forward it

YOUTUBE:crying::crying: hangs up or Freezes Big time getthing this problem frm last 10 nighties....

Cleared all its data still it ****s up any suggestions....
[Galaxy S II General] Kuminauha:
Thx for gps fix

Updated to 20130718 nightly and gps issues are now resolved on my phone. Got a cold gps lock from my balcony in like 5 sec. Nice!
[Galaxy S II General] edwardgonen:
I agree. Not sure if the GPS issue was fixed in the nightlies starting July, 16th. In order to get it working right had to tweak several things (mainly GPS.CONF). At least "out of box" on the nightly of July 16th it did not really work well. So I guess since the May versions where GPS was great there is some regression that is not yet fixed.
[Galaxy S II General] dulcificum:
What do you mean "freeze" and "defrost"? Do you mean force close and disable? I've already tried that...
[Galaxy S II General] alb3rtt:
Its a titanium backup feature. Freeze stops the program from running at all unless you open it yourself. Defrost means that it will run as normal.
[Galaxy S II General] dulcificum:
Yay it worked! Thanks! Only now my problem is that CM Updater doesn't work - I just get a blank screen... :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] alb3rtt:
Then defrost it, that would make it work again, if not, clear its data. (Cm updaters)
[Galaxy S II General] dulcificum:
Tried all that. I can get it to load again now but every time I try to download a nightly it crashes.
[Galaxy S II General] alb3rtt:
Download via a pc, put it on your phone and then go into recovery, install it and then wipe cache and davlik cache and fix permissions (make sure to mount data, system and internal sd card before running fix permissions) and reboot.
[Galaxy S II General] highdiver_2000:
Nightlies after 16 Jul have the GPS fixed. There was an extra field and some padding was added. Read a few pages back by Cody.

Install GPS Test Plus to purge your AGPS cache. The first time use will take a few minutes. Thereafter 6-18 seconds.
[Galaxy S II General] szymko1995:
To all having gps problems: try 19th nighty with clean install. It fixed all of my gps problems. Without full wipe I had gps problems even on 18th nighty. It works great now. First fix after reboot in few seconds inside my home. Better than on sammy ROMs.

[Galaxy S II General] misha0209:
thanks for the reply, though i never empty recent apps.

if i exit contacts and messaging with back button, it's like closing the app.

if i exit with home, it's like minimising it.

in case of the phone app, if i exit with back, it behaves the same as with the home key.

that is what i want for messaging and contacts (remembering last contact i was at can be a nice feature :P)

also, about the gps, i will update to today's nightly as soon as i get home from work. see how that works :P
[Galaxy S II General] edwardgonen:
I've been following the discussion about GPS extra fields and Cody's posts. I'm just saying that for a while I've been using the old GPS code module posted here. That was till July, 16th. Then I've installed the newest nightly in hope that it solves the GPS problem without the need to flash anything else on top of CM. Unfortunately that was not the case. On July, 16th I've installed that nightly using built-in Upgrade (Settings/Phone Status etc.). I understood that this is the most correct way to install nightly version from a post I saw few pages ago by Codeworkx.

Anyway - the bottom line is that the July 16th version does not fix GPS without changing GPS.CONF file. Unfortunately...

P.S. I used GPS Test (not plus though) to delete and update AGPS.
[Galaxy S II General] danmullen:
Did you make sure you have enough free space on your internal SD card? That was the source of the problem for me...
[Galaxy S II General] dulcificum:
Yes, over a gig free.
[Galaxy S II General] Bojcha:
Using 06.07 build with GPS fix - all perfect with GPS . I will try some latest to chack is it really working.
[Galaxy S II General] andrewwright:
Nice thread. When is the next cm coming out or even a stable cm10.1? Many thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
It doesn't work like that. It's the same whether you exit by pressing home or back button (unless 'back button to kill app'). The app, phone or messaging, stays cached until the memory is needed for another process.
[Galaxy S II General] #Umair:
Stable? Never.
[Galaxy S II General] andrewwright:
Really? Never??
[Galaxy S II General] fedeco:
I have a problem with the digitalizer with the cm kernel. Sometimes the touchscreen moves by itself and i cant do anything just block/unblock the phone until it works. Doesn't happen with Dorimanx kernel. Any ideas of what's causing it?

[Galaxy S II General] andrewwright:
So nightlys are now stable? So do you know when next cm is out. Feed Bk is good. :D:thumbup:
[Galaxy S II General] CRXed:
"Stable" is just a name. The nightlies are rock solid most of the time and have more features than the official stables.

Next CM won't come until Google decides to release sources, so that will take a couple of months.
[Galaxy S II General] misha0209:
.... don't know, that's why i'm asking...

all i know is, that if i exit app with home button, when i next access phone or messaging, i have information (contacts, messages) displayed the instant the animations ends.

if i exit via back button, the next time i open them, i get the animation, then a brief second of blank app, then the information.

i do not get that with the phone app.

moreover, if i exit phone app with back button, it always remembers where i was in the list (say call log)

in case of contacts, this happens ONLY if i exit with home. same with messaging.

what i want, is the phone app behavior, for contacts and messaging...
[Galaxy S II General] CRXed:
CM will not change default Android behaviour, you have to live with it.
[Galaxy S II General] andrewwright:
Thanks for the info on cm. :thumbup::D
[Galaxy S II General] GalaxyGusta:
Well if cm is "rock solid" as you said than why not just release a stable named build?
[Galaxy S II General] _Sofos_:
He also said "most of the time".

Lack of sources mate, most important reason..

Seems rock solid to me as well tbh :)

data roaming

Hi, has anyone experienced problems with data roaming? I am unable to get it to work on cm10.1 but flashing back to stock works no probs. Any ideas? I checked the apn settings and they seemed the same altho on first boot stock gives me t-mobile and virgin option and on cm I only have t-mobile. I selected virgin on the stock rom and have manually entered the virgin apn settings in cm which look identical.
[Galaxy S II General] farisyi1:
For me just blank the proxy and port on APN setting and it's worked :)
[Galaxy S II General] lammpat:
Must say, GPS is working like charm, getting fixed within 5 second on moving vehicle with 11 satellite lock out of 12. Thanks CM team.

Regarding nightly or stable, I have already said months ago that I can live with CM nightly but never go back to stock ROM.

Thanks CM!
[Galaxy S II General] misha0209:
so there is no app, or cfg file in the system i can edit to get the behavior i want...
[Galaxy S II General] oL00No:
That's not a question. But yes. You can make one. It's android.
[Galaxy S II General] Qaweck:
You can try this:

http://www.themobimag.com/how-to-keep-an-app-in-memory-on-android/
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
Maybe you can find a better way of memory management than the android developers, but if you really can't handle the 200 millisecond wait you can go into Developer's options and set transition and window animation scale to 0.5 or off.

Camera in other apps

It seems that there is a bug in camera (*) somewhere, as none of Vine or Instagram cannot take video.

In addition to that, my bank application that can use camera for scanning bills' 2D bar codes cannot access it either, giving an Camera SDK error. I know it used to work like a month ago, so it must've started to be broken a little while ago.

Can I do something about it?
[Galaxy S II General] CRXed:
Probably not. It is because of the open source Camera HAL being used. It's not compatible with everything.

For Instagram/Vine, it's only the preview that is messed up, actual recorded video seems fine.
[Galaxy S II General] Rated RR:
I just ran additional tests:

Instagram:

back camera - some weird green lines during recording, no file recorded

front camera - everything ok

Vine:

back camera - full crash

front camera - everything ok

My banking application:

back camera only, SDK Error crashing (it has used to work like a month ago)
[Galaxy S II General] CRXed:
"no file recorded" is not true. I just posted a test video on Instagram, it just works.
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:

[Galaxy S II General] Rated RR:
You are right, I tested again and there is a saved file. Preview is still bad, though.

BTW, I found the [MENTION=2376110]dorimanx[/MENTION] explanation. It seems to me it might be quick win for a fix.

Maybe it could solve all camera issues so far detected?

[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
no, not needed since the hardware is always the same. there's nothing you have to configure. it isn't even implemented yet.
[Galaxy S II General] Makishima:
I flashed the 19/07 Nightly and I've been having strange problems. First of all, there is a message saying that my SIM card is not present or not readable, however, I can send and receive messages and calls. Also, when it boots it says 'You have incorrectly typed your PIN %D times. Try again in %D seconds. Accessibility enabled. Sim card is locked.' and when I enter the PIN 'Re-enter PUK....'. However, I normally enter the PIN and everything is fine. Also, in the sleep modes in the quick settings instead of 15/30 seconds, it says 15/30 Years.

These don't really count as major problems for me, but this one does. Whenever the media scanner reads my sd card it says 'Damaged SD card' and when I try to plug it onto the pc it says 'There is a problem with usb storage...' and the computer can''t mount the device. I restored a nandroid backup of the 16/07 version, with the same setup, and no problem like that shows up. Now I have restored the 19/07 nandroid, I also did a full wipe before the restore, and now it has all the same problems, but the pc does mount it.

I'm quite sure this is ROM related, but I could, of course, be wrong. Is anyone else having similar problems?
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
Sounds like your phone got possessed :) Doing a full wipe then restoring a nandroid has zero effect because you're just restoring the system/cache etc. exactly as it was before the wipe.
[Galaxy S II General] Makishima:
Well, I wasn't entirely sure if it would do anything, but I did it anyway. :p
[Galaxy S II General] jmjviana:
My phone isn't locking even by pressing the power button. I don't know if this is happening to anyone else.

In the past when this happened I discovered a way to go around simply by pressing the gone button, the screen briefly flashed refreshing the home screen and then by pressing the power button it locked. But now even that isn't working. Any ideas?

[Galaxy S II General] Makishima:
And it won't mount again. Back to the original situation.
[Galaxy S II General] topiratiko:
Sounds like you need to start fresh my friend. Sounds like remnants of a prior ROM are interfering with proper operation of system files.

RIL Dump whilst Roaming

Hi,

Just back from holiday, were I had the 20130717 nightly running on my phone. I didn't data roam, just standard calls and texts. However, within a couple of hours of switching my phone on I started getting error messages about the system storage space being nearly full, even though I knew I should have ~1GB of free space.

Discovered that RIL-dump error logs were being generated almost every minute since I turned the phone on aboard and it was these that were eating up all the system space. I've attached one for information, as I'm about to wipe them all now that I'm home.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II General] gogubeb:
Hi all,

I use nightly cm-10.1-20130720-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip .

When i try to copy 1.90GB (or smaller files but bigger then 700MB) to my internal SD card at some moment phone get stuck(frozen) in mass storage mode, in media device mode i get some error and I couldn't copy all the files. This is an known problem?
[Galaxy S II General] Fulfen:
Yes , i also have this problem, i have written about this earlear but no one had written back
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
i assume the modem (hardware) got dropped of the bus.

exynos phones have problems with it since the beginning, but over the last few months it wasn't really a problem.

are you running any custom kernel?
[Galaxy S II General] rufu13:
No custom kernel, just standard CM10.1.
[Galaxy S II General] kokesh:
Can you test your light sensor? Mine doesn't work. Really strange...
[Galaxy S II General] Makishima:
I'm not entirely sure if you are answering to me, but is that possible, after a full wipe?
[Galaxy S II General] endstille:
In fact i faced the same problem, over the last days (i sync my internal and external SD-Card to my home-server, connecting them via mass storage-mode to my notebook)

it always froze after some ore more time (most of the time it froze, after the preparation = scan for changed files was done, so mainly read-operation).

i happend with stuck-kernel, gustavoss-kernel and kang-bang-kernel.

it is also impossible to connect mass-storage-mode from recovery, it simply won't show the cards on my notebook.

but once i used Dorimanx's kernel, it connected flawlessly once i'm in recovery and i was able to sync 14GB of new music to my sd-card and backup everything afterwards, without any freeze...

i'm still running on stuck kernel, as it gives me best battery-life, but once i backup (about 1 time / week) i'll install dori's kernel before and switch back afterwards.

PS: i also tried different IO-Governors, ROW, SIO, NOOP... but i think i just used conservative or zzmove as cpu-gov all the time....

During my sync-attempts, i thought the low CPU-frequenz might be responsible for the freeze and switched minimum to 800 mhz, but the phone was instantly frozen :/

PPS: in the end i had to recover my nandroid-backup several times (i think it was with one of the custom kernels) as the phone always started with setup-assistant, after it froze and i had to hold powerbutton.

i didn't got logs, but i hope my observations might help, finding the source of the problem.

regards

marc

Last nightly works very well. GPS fix in 5 secs indoor. All right with mobile connection.
[Galaxy S II General] ph3n0mII:
+1, but hasn't happened to me for a loooong time for some reason.

Also i've never bee able to transfer lots of jpegs in MTP mode without getting 'device disconnected' error. (not cm10.1's fault though)

I just zip them, transfer them, and unzip them on-device in that situation.

I've found installing Samsung USB Drivers (Currently at v1.5.27.0) and connecting phone first time with internet off (to avoid windows messing up the drivers) helps make MTP a bit more reliable.

I still have problem of most files created on-device not showing up in MTP until a reboot. Is this because CM file manager doesn't notify media scanner of file changes?

I have an sd-rescan app, but i'm fairly sure I read something on cmxlog a few weeks ago saying that manual media rescan was being built into cm10.1. soon

Was that just my imagination? :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S II General] Makishima:
I keep getting the weird messages and the Damaged SD card error. I'm using Dorimanx 9.35 but it has worked fine so far, so I don't see how that could be the problem. I also checked the sd cards, both internal and external on Windows and it says that they are just fine. What is happening? Could something else be causing this? Did a full wipe and I wiped the cache partitions for the 21/07 Nigthly and I have the same problems.

Hi, this is my first time using CM on my i9100 and there is just one issue that I noticed. My phone have a MXT224E touchscreen controller (checked in terminal emulator writing this: cat /sys/devices/virtual/sec/sec_touchscreen/tsp_touchtype ) and that touchscreen controller has a bug, even on stock samsung JB kernel, where scrolling becomes really "choppy" after some time using the phone. That bug exist also on CM kernel.

It was fixed long ago in custom kernels with this: https://github.com/kgp700/exyroid-sgs2-jb/commit/b693326f9945e4ce4dff8d70882c5c54190c4c40

I know that I could simply just use Dorimanx kernel, for example, which has that issue fixed, but it isn't as stable as stock CM kernel and it would be great to have it fixed there too :angel:

Same problem to me - Tried even booting without SD card (stuck as well at boot screen)
[Galaxy S II General] ph3n0mII:
I had similar problem a few nightlies ago. I have a USB OTG adapter that i use NTFS formatted flash drives with.

My 4 drives have been working fine on all builds for weeks, then a few days ago all of them gave the damaged SC card error. I tried unplugging and replugging like 20 times each, several reboots, power off for a while, battery removed for 20 mins, wiped all caches, etc, all the usual things, still no go.

I did a full wipe and reinstalled same nightly, all worked fine again and working per usual on all nightlies since.

I'm glad I don't have to use Paragon NTFS anymore, its too buggy and likes to give random 'NTFS partition mounted' notifications at random times, like an hour after booting, even of no drives have been plugged in since last reboot, plus 1 out of 10 times it either couldn't gain write permissions or mounted at different random mount points.

CM10.1 built in NTFS support is awesome!!! Thanks heaps for that devs! :good::good::good:
