After flashing the latest ROM I seem to have lost BLN... Probably user oversight but can someone refresh me on what setting I need to have active in order for the backlight to flash upon receiving a notification?

I have the notification light checked in the display settings but that doesn't seem to enable it.

Thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Touchmypro:
Updates running great, no fc's on Playstore or YouTube any more. I'm assuming the disappearing signal bars are a CM or AOKP thing but thats a weird one because if I or someone else calls my phone the bars show up and instantly go up to full bars then stays like that the duration of a call, but then disappears again once the call is ended. So even though I dont see the bars all the time I'm pretty certain my signal is strong? :fingers-crossed: Hmm..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] curiouscrackers:
Did you make sure that Settings ----> ROM Control ----> Signal ----> Hide signal bars is not checked?

How did you managed it to survive for so long when you had 6h of screen light on?

I have Laza's extended battery and mine doesn't seem to last long proportion to your battery life and time.

My screen was on for less than 2h
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Touchmypro:
Yep everything seems set right, I have unfilled transparent signal lines showing but the strength always shows maybe 1 (rarely) until I make or receive a call then it instantly goes to full. If I put signal type to text it shows 0. But like I said I'm pretty sure I have a decent signal even though it doesn't register. I've tried almost every modem thinking it may really be a low signal at first but the all do the same thing.

BTW, Where can I get this magical charging battery everyone seems to be talking about? Just my luck, I always get stuck with the un-magical crap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Probably because you need to research your setup with a tool like Better Battery Stats. Search for the Newb's Guide to Wake Locks thread, and READ IT...

That, and is it just me, or is the most likely main culprit all but completely obvious in those screen shots? :/

And if youre a stupid newb like me heres how

Settings> display> brightness press adjust and move all the sliders a little bit left then turn on automatic brightness

Dirty flashed new version so much nicer without fcs thanks g2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
<rant> Mtdew got that on WiFi only with data disabled, gsm only mode (aka 2g) and the brightness set to probably 10-15% as he's inside (ala WiFi) with auto brightness disabled. Undervolted probably -75 to -100 mV and he may or may not be underclocked, im guessing no. Probably using smartassV2 or another governor that offers very fast cpu scaling. All that in combination with no wake locks gives u such battery.

On LTE only with brightness set around 30% the most u can hope for is 3 hours onscreen.

Its one thing to give subtle hints and direction, but sometimes us veterans don't even do that. No way a noob or even intermediary would know all of the above ^^^^^^. They may never get to that level. Broad suggestions like "read the guide, check for wakelocks" and "research your setup" are great, but only if the relevant info is there to be found. Sadly, this is not the case. I have yet to see a guide that would include more than half the info above. Its all scattered.

Lol clock I was right, I said u didn't, just a possibility, and undervolting gains are minimal, I admit that. Interactive IS a fast scaling gov, ..syncing a repo doesn't take that long if u do it regularly, my point was that 90% of that was WiFi only, which it is

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
First when I said syncing a repo I meant from scratch so about an hour or so.

My problem with sharing details is that everyone's usage is different what works for me will likely not work for others. People need to stop and take the time to learn on their own. When I started rooting it was on an old Samsung moment I learned from reading not asking 5billion questions I researched everything I learned for myself how to make the most of things.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
I did the same when I started on my Ericson x10... unfortunately this is the real world and 99% of our new users don't do that, so manage your expectations more. And I truly believe that that isn't entirely true. Even those of us highly proficient at self learning asked a dumb question or two at some point.

Off topic enough, discussion over.

Relevant to this ROM, I haven't been flashing much stuff lately, this is my first 4.2.x experience. I notice some minute lagging. Is this because of new/infancy code with unoptimized drivers?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
The bulk of your issue is that you only had a decent signal for about 12 seconds out of the 16 hours of that cycle. With that kind of signal strength, your radio is constantly polling, hence the top culprit on your list being cell standby rather than screen. Flash a new radio for God's sake and test to see if you can get a better signal with any of them. That signal strength would drive me nuts. Lol

I'm curious, do you think that, while not on a call you're pulling a weak 4g signal but, once a call comes through, it automatically drops you down to 3g in which the signal in your area is stronger for? I'm not sure that this is what's happening, but I'm fairly confident that calls are automatically routed to 2 or 3g on att because they do not require the bandwidth of 4g. Given that you seemed to have exhausted all other possibilities, this may be your concern.

Just a thought.

Sorry if my response came across the wrong way. Actually, there IS pretty close to a one-stop place for such info...

Read Vincom's 1-Stop sticky, particularly the following threads in the 7: HOWTOS -- GUIDES -- MODS -- THEMES-- INFO section:

[GUIDE] The Total Newb's Guide to Wakelocks ....... T.J. Bender

Aside from all of this great info, you can find the BetterBatteryStats App here.

My apologies for the thread creep, gs2usr.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Touchmypro:
Hmm that's interesting I can't say I know for sure, is there anything you know of that can quickly and easily show me current network connection info while in a call? I do know that even if that was the case when I was on Mohans Embryo and SkyICS version my 4g in my area always showed 2-3 bars and since this ROM no signal bars. I've tried all radios. It would be interesting to find out if my network is switching to 3g though. This Pac- ROM is so great in all other aspects that with this being the only minor issue I can live with it till it gets worked out or I find a solution. The ROM is smooth and quick as hell, no more fc's since the update and my battery life is noticeably better than any other I've tried so I hope no one reads my issue and decides not to try this ROM because it's epic!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
Well, I don't mean to sound brash by stating the obvious but, the signal icons themselves will tell you that won't they? It will either say 4g or h+ or h... Right?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Touchmypro:
Ok so I did that and the same thing, but then I realized at home I usually have data toggled off, so I turned it back on with wife off and yes then I get the signal type. It's normally on 4G then during a call it switches to 3G the signal goes up and then shows H+. So normally I always had a decent 4G signal with other rooms all the time, with Mohans I had a constant 3 bars at all times the same day I switched to pacrom and got non so I don't think it's network in my area? I also used SeanScreamz for a long time and same thing always had decent signal, and never no bars. I know so might say we'll then switch back but like I said this ROM is to good to just abandon it of some silly little issue, it's just one of those minor annoyances that you rack your brain trying to come up with a solution ya know?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
Touch wiz based Roms are proven to report signal strength differently aosp based Roms are known to provide true signal.

Im thinking this is probably just an issue with my phone, but I thought I would ask anyways. I am having an issue where when I click on an app it will go to a black screen and then return to the home screen, or, the app will open momentarily and then return to the home screen with no force close or error shown. This happens with Facebook, Photobucket and Torque (most annoying), so its not isolated to one app. Any suggestions?

anyone else?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrfeuss:
As far as the keyboard goes, I think I remember something about the Pie control settings messing with the bottom of the screen if the launch point is set down there. If you have the Pie settings set to bottom you could try changing it to a side or top and see if that helps. *Full Disclosure* I have not used this ROM, I'm just recalling something from my reading.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
Just saying your results are subjective and in no way solid. People should take your post for what it is your experience based on your usage. As for me I can say my extensive and long tests on both stock and moretz will achieve similar results based on my heavy web based usage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Touchmypro:
Noted..

That being said I use a battery draining Web radio app all the time that I can literally watch the the battery drain minute by minute and found I get the best battery life on stock kernel set to interactive. Moretz was close in battery and very smooth much more than with at least first iteration of Marla in which I could thumb from screen to screen rapidly and noticed just a little hanging when going to the to the next screen. Stock is uber smooth for me with the best battery life and I use Internet heavily. But I understand wanting it exactly how you want it so if you feel better with something different, to each their own.

Yeah screen is the biggest killer so without that it's hard to say. I would kill that nfc for one unless you use it a lot, or get a toggle for it. Hey I read about your issue with your bluetooth did you ever get that sorted out? I had issues getting bluetooth to even turn on at all yesterday then about an hour later tried again and it decided to work and and found devices, but I haven't tried to connect to my printer again yet. I'll have to give it a shot later though it's not something I use often.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WhatzinyourphonE:
I think this might be a bug, sometimes bluetooth doesn't turn on at all, but rebooting it fixes it. As for my keyboard the phone finds it, but when i clicked to connect it just sat there saying connecting but never does. But everything else bluetooth will connect, its not the keyboard because it connects to my other phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hotbyz168:
With an rsrp of -109 the phone will show no bars of lte. That's barely a useable signal
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] curiouscrackers:
I was also having some issues getting bluetooth to connect to my OBDII reader (for torque). It would pair but never actually connect. I didn't want to post anything until I could get a logcat, but since other people are having this issue I thought I'd throw it out there.

Still some testing to be done. I have not yet tried to connect to any other devices, and I'll get that logcat as soon as I can.

Photo Sphere?

Hate to post at the end of such a long thread, but here goes...

First off, I would like to thank you for a GREAT ROM! This is by far the best ROM I have ever used on my Skyrocket. I only have two issues with it. One being the proximity sensor, it just does not seem to turn the screen off when the phone is up to my face. The second being the call audio on the other end. The people I call often complain about barely being able to hear me. Other than those two issues, this is a great ROM!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
No issues here either of those so my guess is maybe a radio issue for call volume and bad flash or something on the prox sensor.
