Previously, I have stated that my phone would have trouble waking up from sleep mode - or when it awoke, it would be laggy. I was told that my interactive CPU was the issue, and it seemed to be for a while. I switched to ondemand and for a while it ran smoothly. I'm now on the 6-24 nightly, running ondemand, and I'm still having issues with waking my device up. Sometimes right after I turn my screen off, I'll attempt to turn it back on but it will only light up the soft keys. Anybody know why this is still happening and if there's a fix? I only restore app data; and Lookout, Go Task Manager and Weatherbug are always running in my notification bar.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mp3deviant721:
Its an older device, it'll do that no matter how what governor you run or kernel you try. Plus I read somewhere that CM won't revert the commit that causes the wake lag on older devices. So you are stuck with wake lag...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dstars33:
Just turn the setting off in the app.

Edit: ha, I realize now you're not stating this as a problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Saturable:
No, that's not a problem. I was just trying to give as much information as I could.

And as I am to lazy to quote twice, I feared that was the reason. Oh well - it's annoying but can be worked around by holding the power for 15 seconds
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] monkeybuttons:
Perhaps some enterprising dev would be willing to remove that commit for our device when building? Or is it a pain, or would cause broken features to remove that commit?

I have to admit, wake lag makes me want to go back to previous Android versions, even though I love Kitkat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mp3deviant721:
If it was easy, I think the revert probably would have been made already...

Hi All,

I just switched to the official CarbonROM nightly from the version made by I Am The Frost (I figure I wasn't using any of the enhancements he made, so why not go to the source).

One thing I noticed when I switched is that I lost the Google Now screen. The phone tells me that "Google Now requires location services which are not available." However I have confirmed that I have turned on the GPS location services, and I have enabled location history. But on the "Google Location Services" tab under "Google Location Reporting" both options (Location Reporting and Location History) are greyed out (unselectable) and indicate Disabled.

Can anyone confirm that Google Now works with this ROM?

The second issue I have is minor - I did a hot update from the 6/20 build to the 6/30 build, and I noticed that on the Google Now launcher, the top Google search bar, not longer says 'Say "OK Google"' but the "OK Google" hotword still works (I can say it and Google responds). Like I said, that is minor, but is it expected?

I am excited about this ROM - I've tried about 5 others and this has all of the features I want. The only thing I miss is the USB Mass Storage feature, but that's not too bad.

Thanks!

-- Steven
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mp3deviant721:
I can't say much for any of GPS or Google Now stuff, but if you flash WildKernel, you can get USB mass storage back, Emmanuel recently patched his kernel to allow that.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] stevenc88:
Thanks for the note - I'll have to give it a try.

Still waiting for someone to confirm that "Google Now" works with this ROM.

Cheers - Steven
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] stevenc88:
Just thought I'd follow up about my problem with Google Now. Turns out it was a problem with the permissions/applications on my domain (I have a Google Apps domain). I accidentally disabled some features needed for Google Now (related to location services). Once I figured that out and re-enabled them, all is well!

I am now playing with the lockscreen widgets. With the ROM, can I have more than one widget on a lockscreen screen? I know I can have multiple screens; I want to know if I can enable multiple widgets per screen.

Thanks - Steven
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mp3deviant721:
Glad you got your Google Now problem figured out.

And I am 99% sure that you cannot have more than one widget on a page at a time. If you want more than one widget I'd suggest Widgetlocker, but that will only allow one page...

I'm sure I'll probably get the 'stupid question' mess, but I don't know what this feature's called. I love almost everything about the ROM, but I don't much need or care for the fact that the screen automatically turns on when I grab my phone from my pocket, or a table. Any way to disable this?

Hey guys,

This ROM is awesome! Fast and stable, no issues so far. Been waiting for quite awhile on 4.3 for a more stable 4.4.4 ROM, and the transition has been fantastic.

Read a few posts back that uninstalling "Themes" and "Carbon" apps helps with battery life. But I just wanted to double check - what exactly does "Carbon Delta" and "Carbon Stats" do?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mp3deviant721:
Carbon Delta is the OTA app (which doesn't work for the majority of supported devices) and Carbon Stats send anon device stats to let the devs know what versions are being installed and how many installs they have out there. Both can be removed safely.

Randomly today my phone got stuck in a bootloop... I hadn't done anything to it. I tried to wipe cache/dalvik/fix permissions but that didn't help =/

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dennis96411:
Yeah, there seems to be an abundance of bootlooping with the latest few builds. You'll have to wait for it to finally boot up, only to find a few of your app's data deleted due to corruption. Sigh.

Can't make calls

hey guys I'm running nightly build 20140707 and I am 95% in love with it. Data is fast and the ROM is stable enough for me. My MAJOR issue is that I can only make one phone call before rebooting. The rest of the calls will sound scrambled, and even the person on the other line cannot hear me. I am using TLMC4 radio. I tried flashing the ROM and radio twice. Before I had a stock rooted ROM. I wiped the cache and dalvik cache and did a hard reset before upgrading.

Is this a ROM or radio issue? This is a t989, but I'm using it for Cricket (ATT towers). I tried an ATT radio but had no connection. Is this an easy fix?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dennis96411:
I've had this issue for awhile now. The only quick fix I know of is to switch to the 2G network; it appears to be an issue when using the 3G network.

Also, when I turn Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on, the phone freezes. I would like to point out that I am using the Wild kernel, so I'm unsure if this affects others.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] akeem_da_dream:
thanks, I will give that a try. I am not using a wild kernel at this time. My bluetooth has connection issues as well
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mr_stevey:

Great Rom

one of the best roms for hercs. but is there any chance for this rom to put some Android L features? like the recents style from android l. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mp3deviant721:
The closest you can get with that feature is Paranoid. There is a chance that when their version of that style of recents goes stable that they will release the source and there is a chance that Carbon will port it... Its just a matter of time.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] junio07:
Paranoid is a nice rom too but lack of simple customization. so i'll just stick with carbon and wait ;)

Audio problems after 7/13?

Hello,

I have been using CarbonROM for my S2 for a couple of months, and I generally load the weekly builds.

I discovered a problem with the audio which came in after the 7/13 build (the version CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20140713-0434-hercules.zip was the last version that worked).

The problem symptom is that when I have an alarm go off (from my alarm clock app), the alarm ringtone is only played once, and then you hear soft "tick" noises from the speaker (not in a regular cadence). The alarm clock app still thinks it is playing the ringtone, as it is waiting for me to acknowledge / snooze it.

I went back and loaded the different weekly builds until I found out where it stopped working. It was working on 7/13, but not on the 7/24 build. Nothing in the CarbonROM changelog indicated anything specific about audio changes.

I don't know who to tell about this - is there someplace to log this as a problem? Does anyone else have problems with alarm clock ringtones only being repeated once (and then the "ticks")?

Thanks - Steven
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wvuravens-fan:
I had the same issues. My issue was because my alarm sound was an mp3. I converted it to ogg, and it fixed the issue.

Just to report I've had the same issue with the alarm playing one time then audio ceases but the phone gets hot if its left unattended, the program still runs until the alarm is cancelled (no audio). Alarm Clock Xtreme v3.5.6, song is an MP3 and never had trouble with earlier Carbon Roms.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eric93se:
I'm sure its not dead, builds have been failing and CM has been making a lot of changes. Also Carbon is not going crazy with nightlies because of the high electrical cost of building dozens of nightlies. Your welcome to donate $20 if you want :)

I'm also eager for an update :D

8/24 for me is a huge mess. first time i've ever had any issues. =\ i had more random reboots with and without a custom kernel. i reverted back to the previous build, 8/3, i believe and i am not having issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Somcom3X:
That's what EOL feels like :/ sorry mate, cm is pretty much finished with the phone. It won't make a fully working android L jump.

Do any other ROMs with lately?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mr_stevey:
nah, i like carbon too much to let it go, so i haven't bothered with another ROM; last hope is PA, but it's unlikely i'll move there at this point. EOL sucks, but i really am in need of an upgrade. just waiting till after this year for those final devices to spawn so i can decide what to invest in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
This has pretty much been my thoughts now for a while. I think anyone who wants to continue using the latest ROMs from this point on need to use those made by our own developers and not the mass built kind such as CM, PAC and Carbon. Not because they are terrible ROMs, but because of the point you just made. Kernel development has even become nearly impossible for this device.

Appreciate what you & the Carbon team brought to the table. It stopped being usable for me back in March but others here still got enjoyment from it. Anytime an addition is made it's always a good thing the way I look at it.

Forget android L, I've been feeling this way since KK.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eric93se:
testing 8/31 and not a single RR, complete fresh install, stock kernel. Main fatal problem is ZERO audio. First noticed it when setting the ringtone/notification sounds and they were not playing when setting them, figured a reboot would fix that so continued going through all the menus. Still can't get a peep out of the phone, tried reseting the data for dspmanager, then tried disabling dspmanager and installed viper audio. All no go. phone won't ring or play music. Seems very stable otherwise.

edit: Okay reflashed (fully clean) and added the radio file and audio is back.

edit: It lost audio again, so I'm going back to 7/13 for now.

edit: lost audio on 7/13, battery pull got it back.

With the Aug 31st nightly, I'm experience massively long lags. The entire UI will freeze for several seconds at a time. Waking the device takes at least 5 seconds from the time I press the power button to the time that the screen actually comes on.

Reinstalled Aug 3 nightly, and everything is silky smooth again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eric93se:
Testing 9/7. The phone is very fast and responsive, not a single RR. I clean flashed the ROM and the radio. So the phone has audio but it does not ring at all, the phone has full bars but does not acknowledge the call at all (I tried several times and moved around). Previously on 8/31 the phone would acknowledge the call but not ring (call screen would show incoming call). I re-flashed the radio and no change.

Otherwise the rom is very solid, just not there yet.

edit: I think a battery pull would have solved the no ring, but i forgot to try it, sry guys lol.

edit: Went and tried 9/7 again with a battery pull and no change, the phone does not acknowledge an incoming call.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mr_stevey:

Hopefully this can help. I remember on the Double shot when our kernel went from 2.X.X (what ever GB was). To 3.0 it fixed a lot of issues. So hopefully an update to a newer kernel can help fix these bugs. That's probably why the Skyrocket has a more "active" community.

I'm running the 9/21 ROM now and it seems very good, not a single problem. I did a fully clean flash of just the ROM. The phone would not ring on a call but would acknowledge the call (all other audio sources would play), a battery pull and the phone would ring. I have only done light testing and installed all my usual apps and not a single hick-up.

I've been axiously awaiting a release that is on par with the Aug 4 nightly.

After installing this, I installed WildKernel v8. I kept getting continual bootloops (though I kinda already expected that).

Reflashing this rom with its stock kernel, I cleared cache and dalvik cache.

Rebooting the phone, I was greeted with enormous amounts of lag and very choppy animations. (sigh).

I love CarbonROM and would love to update, however, I also need a device that is quick and reliable.

Something happened to the nightlies after Aug 4th, that make the graphics perform slower than molasses on my device.

I appreciate all the work that Carbon team has been doing with the ROM. It is my ROM of choice because it is the only kitkat rom that has been dependable on my device. Keep up the good work, and hopefully one of these days I can upgrade at last.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eric93se:
ayr0,

None of the wildkernel's will work with these new ROM's. Also when you wipe your old setting Dalvik and Cache are not enough, you have to wipe System (I also wipe Android Secure, Data and the internal SDcard). This way the phone will be fully wiped fresh. This ROM also requires a Battery Pull to get the phone ringing properly. The phone has been 100% stable for me the last 24hrs, not a single hiccup.

It will also take some more time for developers/modders to get the latest kernel up and running smoothly for the T989.

So the phone is receiving calls but not able to make one. It will never dial out, then when hitting the end-call button the dialer program is stuck in "hanging up" mode, other buttons do work but the dialer program is stuck in the "hanging up" spot. A battery pull is needed. So right now this rom is not ready for use.

edit: trying to get the alogcat app to generate a log, but it doesn't seem to be working with this version of android. Oddly the phone did start a call after letting it sit for a little while, so I guess it could be my carrier.
