Oh, didn't know for SR = Skyrocket. Thanks. I assumed that the reboots caused in the gallery were of the same kind as the one in focal, causing soft reboot. Thanks to have enlightened me :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] me_is_rushin:
No problem, always happy to educate.

nope i downloaded a video off youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3-NcRXK-s4 and i uploaded it to my drive and downloaded it to my phone everything worked flawlessly
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iburnhearts:
Well this is weird...I just redownloaded 1 of my old videos off dropbox and it plays without any problems. I formated my external and internal and just restored pics and music last night...maybe something was corrupted..or maybe team carbon fixed something on the latest nightly (I'm running official carbon nightlies BTW not cm10.2). Idk anymore just glad to have my phone working like it should :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Gen00:
So how's everything on the 4.3 side.. How's battery life and stability?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -DarkKnight-:
Stability is fine unless you count the gallery glitch.

Battery life has been fine as well
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blizzardproof:
what problems are you having with gallery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -DarkKnight-:
Reboots when SD card contains mp4 files....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blizzardproof:
is your sd card over 32 gb and you do mean the external
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:
This. I'm running the 9/1 nightly, and it's as stable as the CM10.1 stable version for me. Battery is doing very well after the first two days. I don't even notice it. As far as the gallery issue, it seems to be hit and miss. My card is 16GB. I have old mp4 files on it from before the flash of 4.3, and they load and play fine. Any new ones I add make the gallery app FC as soon as it opens. If it doesn't FC then the phone reboots. The really odd thing is I can add mp4s to the card or internal, find them via file explorers, and play them with the gallery app, but I just can't open the gallery app when they are on the phone. It's a small issue for me as the rest of the ROM is pretty perfect already. No issues at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blizzardproof:
I'm starting to think this issue is only problematic for certain individuals. I can play videos fine from gallery mx or x-plore. Most of my videos are from before the switch from 10.1.3 to 10.2 and they work fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tribalartgod:
Ditto... Same issues. I'm on CyanKang at the moment...(I've been bouncing back and forth until I find a 4.3 that has everything working for me) My card is this one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tricky76:
Phone does not power on..

I just wiped data/system/caches using recovery TWRP 2.6.1.0 and flashed the September 5 CM 10.2 nightly and the 8/13/13 gapps. Everything installed fine and I logged into my Google Account. The phone started downloading my apps from the play store and rebooted on its own a couple times but always came back. However, it has now turned off and will not come back on.

I pull the battery, and as soon as I re-insert it, the phone vibrates and turns on. The Samsung logo appears, the screen briefly flashes, turns dark, and then the the phone starts vibrating in short consecutive bursts. I have tried removing the battery and holding Power + Volume UP and Down to get into recovery but that does not work. I also tried turning it on without the SD and SIM cards but it will will not turn on.

Any ideas on how to get back into recovery? My battery was almost fully charged when this happened.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mknewman:
Remove battery and reinsert, then hold both up and down volume buttons down while hitting power button and seen if you can get into recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -DarkKnight-:
Do not flash the 9/6 nightly(when it comes out)

It will not boot! Wait until 9/7, or make a backup first
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tricky76:
Unfortunately that does not work. The phone powers on as soon as I put the battery in.

I even tried holding the buttons as I inserted the battery and still nothing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bravouno:
I had that problem with paranoid, unfortunately the only thing I could do was get it in download mode. I plugged it in my computer while holding all the buttons, I kept the battery out while doing it then put it back in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tricky76:
I fixed it! Well I have a sticky power button which apparently is a common issue on these phones. This is whythe phone was turning on immediately upon inserting the battery or connecting a USB cable.

I tapped the power button with an eraser several times as suggested here and I am back up and running! Whew!

Do not flash 9/7 nightlies
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Phateless:
Works fine if I access it through root explorer, but launching the gallery app at all causes a reboot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TU Homer:

Yeah

Is 9/08 nightly any good? Does gallery work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
09/08 boots up, no errors. Going to check the gallery now.

EDIT: Gallery seems to be working for me. I think it'll depend on what each user has on their SD cards.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] car vs driver:
09/07 had an issue because the device blobs were not part of the build. That has been fixed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mknewman:
Gallery still fails on 0908 nightly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JesusWazBlack:
gallery never failed lol. for everyone having the gallery issue all you guys gotta do is backup all your important stuff on internal sd card then format it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mknewman:
At one point I deleted almost every .jpg off internal SD and got gallery to work. It was not stable though and after adding some apps back it started failing. 10.1 never had an issue.

Quickpic works fine now.

Note: I just did it again, deleted Zinio and APOD which were the vast majority of pictures on /sdcard and gallery still fails... I only have 10-20 pictures left in DCIM and download.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BitingChaos:
Can someone explain to me how something like that could even happen in the first place?

It doesn't matter if my SD card has corrupted JPGs, invalid MP4 files, trashed directory structures, or even has physical damage to the cells; the device should never reboot when it encounters an error.

The "solution" I keep seeing to fix this is for us to keep formatting our SD cards.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blizzardproof:
I dont even understand how people are getting this problem I dont have it at all. I hope its fixable without having to format
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JesusWazBlack:
You guys do know that without a logcat, last_ksmg team chopsticks can't do jack.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mknewman:
I have sent several bug reports and last_kmsg files to the devs for the gallery issue.

On another topic my battery usage seems to be vastly improved.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tribalartgod:
This is not true, unfortunately. I have a Sandisk 32GB U1 card, Class 10. I actually formatted EVERYTHING, then removed the SD Card, with NO OS installed, loaded the ROM zip via PC, installed the ROM, formatted the SD Cards again, and the gallery still crashed and RR'd the phone.

However, on the latest build, I was able to record and playback video taken with the camera, via the gallery, with no RR. This is the first time I have also been able to do this, without an RR from the Gallery.

TL;DR The gallery issue still isn't fixed for everyone. Formatting your SD cards, does nothing special except waste time.

I'm on the 9/8 nightly and the sync for my Google account doesn't seem to be working. My Google account doesn't show up in Contacts and my contacts are currently unsynced, only local.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] me_is_rushin:
Did you flash GApps? Check sync settings in settings?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Diumlol:
ohh, I didn't know when 10.2 was gonna show up in cmupdater but I checked yesterday, downloaded, wiped dalvik and cache and flashed.

that's what I forgot to do; flash the latest gapps (I assumed everything was updated via Google Play. I guess I'll do that now.

---------- Post added at 12:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ----------

flashing the 4.3 gapps did the trick! it's been a while since 10.1 came out .__.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jwilensky:
I removed my SD thinking that it would be the culprit, but it still had the issue. I then emptied my internal SD to a directory on my PC and formatted the internal SD. All is working now and I was able to copy the items from my internal memory back to the SD-ext without an issue.

Edit: The RRs came back and it happens when I scroll deeply into the DCIM>Camera directory.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mknewman:
I don't think having to reformat and reload /sdcard is a very effective way to win the hearts and minds of potential users.

This still doesn't explain why it works fine in 10.1 but not 10.2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] me_is_rushin:
I don't think anyone is trying to explain it they are simply trying to provide workarounds. Also nobody is "winning hearts" this is a totally free distribution of open source software. If you don't like it, then simply don't use it. And from everything I've read Team Chopsticks is not ignoring the issue, but there isn't really anything they can do without logcats. Which they would have if people tried to help instead of just complaining.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] monkeybuttons:
It's also important to remember that with this device, when someone says "wipe sd" they mean the *internal* sd memory (aka internal memory, the partition containing your documents, pictures, videos, etc.), not the external sd card.

However, if someone recommends to wipe internal sd, it is probably a good idea to wipe the external sd as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -DarkKnight-:
About a month ago, I was chatting with some team chopsticks members.

Apparently only one of their testers can even reproduce this phenomenon

Therefore, if no one on their side can reproduce it, even if they know about it, its still going to be hard as crap to fix this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tribalartgod:
Understandable. Is there a way that I can send logcats to show this, to them? I'm a little rusty on that aspect, but more than willing to help resolve this issue. I'm also willing to take video from start to finish of clean install all the way up until the issue itself. On my particular device, I can reproduce the issue EVERY time.

Someone who can walk me through this, should PM me with the how to. (I am very tech savvy, and can pick up quick)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -DarkKnight-:
You could pm your log cats and last_ksmg to CVD or someone else on the team.

You could also go to their freenode and just chat(if they are there)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BitingChaos:
For those having this problem, is there a recommend method of formatting our SD (internal or external) to help prevent this?

ClockworkMod format?

TWRP format?

Windows?

SD Formatter?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] monkeybuttons:
I would recommend doing a wipe from inside your current Rom then connecting to a computer and replacing the flashable Rom and gapps.

This can be done from recovery, but I'd do it from the Rom to prevent the possibility of having to use odin (for whatever reason).

Go to settings> storage and you should see options to format internal and external.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mknewman:
For me, a wipe is out of the question. My sdcard internal works fine on 10.1 so TC broke something in 10.2. I am glad to help work on it. I am not alone. I have sent bug reports and files. No biggie as this is beta nightlies. Let's fix the problem not sweep it under the rug.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Relsig:
AFAIK it hasn't been swept under the rug. Their suggestion is just that, a suggestion to help troubleshoot. They aren't experiencing the issue so it is time consuming to look into it.

If you can pinpoint a file or two that can reproduce this I would suggest providing a dropbox for it in addition to logs/last_ksmg this way they can troubleshoot easier.

It may be related to a specific codec, having the file(s) and info on hand would probably be helpful.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonmassot:
I don't know where you got the idea that it was TC that broke something... As much as I know, 10.2 is different, at least concerning filesystems, I might be wrong... And I'm pretty sure they will be experiencing the same problem we're facing. But since it appears it's a reccurent problem that not everyone is facing...

Anyway, don't blame the coders who are working their asses for us, I'm pretty sure, as a dev, that it will be more easy on their life if they could provide us a bug-free rom.

Thanks TC.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] car vs driver:
Wow ... this comment. For something that's a "no biggie" you certainly are wasting a lot of posts about it aren't you? Format your SD card, format your internal storage, problem solved. Not a good solution for you? Use a different ROM.

Also, just to correct your ignorance on the sporadic nature of the issue ... it happens on numerous devices, in limited numbers. Your commentary around "TC broke something" is plan wrong. Besides, we've done nothing but FIX problems in order to get 4.3 and all previous versions of Android working on an antiquated device that the manufacturer doesn't even support any more.

So yeah .. thanks for that comment :)

Bluetooth dialer and RR

I recently updated to the 9/8 nightly build and experienced a new instance of a random reboot. I was attempting to use the voice dialer (pressed the voice command button on my motorola roadster) and the phone rebooted. I have not seen this issue before and haven't be able to recreate the error, but thought I would float it out there for the devs in case this is a new item that may be related to a recent code update.

Thanks TC for all your hard work and amazing the ROMs you continue to pump out.

Are you looking for a specific option? They've pretty much all been moved around to better places in settings as far as I know. This was a decision by CM himself and a few others to clean up the settings UI.

No I was just wondering why lol but thanks

I didn't have the option as I was driving at the time. If it happens again, I will do my best to capture. I am relatively new to helping on these types of things, so would it be possible to get a little direction regarding the capture of last_kmsg?

On an unrelated note, I had thought that I had beat the RR that came from the gallery, but I was mistaken. I still get RRs when I get deep into my camera directory.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] me_is_rushin:
Slight lag? What are your kernel settings? It just sounds like something is affecting your phone. I personally use a different rom, but others as well as myself will tell you going from 4.2.2 --> 4.3 results in increased smoothness or at worst identical performance, certainly not a decrease.

I get slightly better speeds (according to the Speedtest.net app) on the T989 than I do on my iPhone 4S.

iPhone 4S: 9-10 Mbps

I mean, I guess it could be an inaccurate reading (the Speedtest.net app is pretty crummy on Android), but it at least looks better when the bigger numbers show up!

Make sure you have enough space to do the back up. I always like to have at least 3GB available. Also make sure you're backing up to the right place where there is enough space. The new recovery has both internal and external backups available. I like to use external since I can remove the SD card at will. The internal is the second choice, and the external is at the bottom.

Just an update. I did factory reset/wipe and reinstalled the 9/13/13 4.3 with 8/13/13 Gapps.

Update # 2

Background: In version CM10.1 4.2.2, the camera had the option to store photos on the internal or external SD card. The new 4.3 version of CM10.2 only allows internal storage.

I deleted all photos from the internal DCIM storage and erased the external SD card. Rebooted and now the camera/gallery works.

Apparently, there is some type of error on storage location causing the gallery/camera to bork.

I will report back if I notice any thing else odd. I guess we will have to wait till Tmobile releases an official 4.3 for this phone to allow storage on the external SD card.
