Funny, im on the 19/02 build and it definitely has phone issues...like the phone process dying after a call, if i can actually answer it before it goes to voicemail.....

I hope the 21/02 changelog contains more than fricking "camera" fixes, i need to phone people more than i need to snapchat my junk

Priorities CM....

hello,

i have one strange thing going on and im not sure if its related to this rom,phone or windows.

situation:

computer is off and phone is via usb connected (usb loading mode). i start my computer (windows 10) and computer will hang a while on login screen (i cant type my password). i need to wait a while before i can type my password to login.

if i disconnect phone from usb i can instantly login in windows.

its not a big deal but im wondering if i can solve this.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Naudiz:
Yesterday I had the time to once again test CM13 and f it's suitable as daily driver for my setup. Unfortunately I'm once again back to CM12 now.

Thanks to [MENTION=6662542]Switch123456789[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6921696]laserkater[/MENTION] I was able to access both my Int-SD and Ext-SD, so that problem at least is gone.

But still, mounting of storages is a weird thing in CM13. This is not a complaint, but rather a user-report/bug-report. I know that access to internal storage was a long time game-stopper during alpha-phase, but to me it seems that the issues are not yet resolved to a satisfactory level that would be suitable for a stable-release eventually.

First off, is there really no other way than mounting the storages with their partition's UUID? The UUID is a terribly long and counter-intuitive hexadecimal mess. There has to be some way to get /storage/sdcard0 and /storage/sdcard1 back, I can't believe this shall be impossible... :/

Then, in my short time of testing, I have encountered several issues with different apps, unable to access their own files, stored on the Int-SD or Ext-SD. Yes, both storages were mounted correctly in their strange mountpoint /storage/25f263...(and so on), and both had regular read/write access in File Explorer (without need for root).

But still, there were several issues:

WhatsApp was not able to access its own media files, stored on Int-SD. When browsing through old chats, I could just see the low-res previews of pictures, instead of the high-res ones from the Int-SD. In the contact list, contact-pictures were shown, but when clicking on a contact to see the high-res picture, it showed just the default, as if the contact had no picture at all.

Titanium Backup Pro was unable to find its Pro-license file which is stored on SD-card and usually automatically loaded when having a fresh-Android install after full wipe. TB is one of the longest used apps by me. In almost 5 years of S2-usage this license-loading from SD has never failed, just on CM13.

Diskinfo App was unable to correctly show information on the Int-SD or Ext-SD, even though both were mounted correctly this time. (screenshot)

I'm rather confused that not more people have reported issues with apps, having problems to access files on the storages, especially since prominent examples like WhatsApp seem to be affected.

I would be curious to hear other peoples experiences with the handling of the storages, especially from those who also use ext4. In my opinion ext4 can't be the cause here, as the storages were actually there with correct read/write mount, at the same place where a vfat volume would have been too.

I hope this weird mounting can be fixed in some way some day, because currently CM13 is unusable for me :(

I hope this report helps in some way.

Sorry, if this is already on the dev's roadmap, but I wasn't able to find any info if the current mounting-situation is considered "final" or not.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] laserkater:
I of course also have the long UUID names for the internal and external SD card, but no problems with WhatsApp. Same issue with Diskinfo, though.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] matee89:
I don't have any wierd permission-related problems that you've mentioned [MENTION=5456499]Naudiz[/MENTION] (except Diskinfo app, but since I can get actual size through terminal emu, I don't really bother). Neverless, storage and mounting should be evaluated further since you're not the only one reporting problems.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pravingasva:
I think a similar issue is already listed in the thread somewhere, don't remember exactly which one. For me, I'm not having any problem "accessing" the external sdcard. I remember that as soon as I started an app (maybe whatsapp) for the first time after updating to CM 13 it stated that you will not be able to save anything on the external sdcard from now on, but whatever supportive data which is already there in that place will be accessed and make the app work.

Another thing, which is a Android M feature, that you have an option to set the external card as an internal partition so that your phone can utilize it for storing app-related data. But the system wants to format the card once so I left it as it is and was prepared that I will face issues when any particular app will need a R/W permission on it.

As you said, even apps that have root access (like titanium backup) struggle to access the sdcard. I have not bothered much, but yes it is an issue. Not sure that it is because of a bug or it's a feature.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Naudiz:
Thanks for your feedback, you guys!

I was expecting that not everyone shares the same problems, or else we would have seen a lot more reports, probably.

However, things like Diskinfo are pretty obvious indications that something, somewhere is not 100% right currently.

Even if I was able to resolve problems with WhatsApp (maybe complete reinstall would have helped, didn't try yet), the whole handling of storage feels sluggish at best, atm. The usage of UUIDs as mountpaths also just doesn't "feel" right.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pravingasva:
I agree, mounting problems are definitely there. And it irritates a lot!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fireburner-de:
[MENTION=5456499]Naudiz[/MENTION] When changing CM Versions, I always only backed up the data of my important apps.

So I actually installed all apps from scratch and only restored app data, not the app itself. (I was using oandbackup instead of TB)

What I also did, was deleting that Android folder on internal and external sd, as CM is creating them while booting up (resp. apps get installed) the first time.

And with all Apps having important data in that folders, I copied them to my PC before the upgrade and copied them back, after installation.

Whatsapp had no problem accessing its backup and the pictures on that folder.

Concering UUID mount points, I am also hoping that this will be fixed eventually, but for I did not have any issues with an app. So it is also an optic bug for me.

Well to be honest I had a problem with AntennaPod after restoring its data. I finally manged to get it to work, by manually only restoring its database. (podcast episodes anyway need to be downloaded again, even with previous CM upgrades) But with that app, i believe it is the fundamental way of saving an absolute path. So that one obviously failed after new mount points.

When you first ran the app, it will prompt you to grant access to your storage. After you allowed access, go to app manager and terminate the app. Relaunch the app and it should be able to read your internal/external storages now.

Mine internal storage is ext4. I have long mounting point names as well. Initially have issues with storage access but further trial and error with it, eventually all went well. [emoji16]

Smartwatch problem report

BT is connected. All notifications from the phone (build 02.21) are displayed and SMS history is available on the watch too.

The only unavailable features are: using phonebook and using watch's speaker and microphone during the call. During attempt to use the phonebook on the watch is displayed "Connection failed", nevertheless the BT connection persist and work with other functionalities.

The smartwatch is U8s and I can use it during the calls with my Xiaomi Android 5 phone.

Since upgrading to CM13 Auto Rotation stops working a while after I start my phone. When I had that Problem on CM12.1 a while ago (I think it did not occur very often in the most recent CM12.1 Nightlies), I could fix it by starting the App "Phone Tester" which reads out the sensor values. After that, Auto Rotation worked again. This does not work in CM13 anymore. The Phone Tester App does show changing values when I move the phone, so the sensors are working. In the Settings Tab Auto Rotation is enabled, but the screen does not rotate anymore when I tilt my phone. After a reboot, Auto Rotation works, but it does not take long for it to stop working again.

I am now on 13.0-20160221-NIGHTLY-i9100

Yes! I saw that the S3 seems to have similar issues in CM13. There were a few Bluetooth-related Samsung commits over the weekend, but no change in stability. Here's my logcat of Bluetooth dropout happening on the i9100: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65219331&postcount=1557

No change in MXPlayer HW acceleration either - for the record: always a black screen.

Stability, smoothness and battery life are great on the CM13 nighties. An excellent setup overall. Thanks again LA.

Had a strange issue yesterday: my phone reset the wallpaper and the keyboard and it forgot that I have titanium donation version.

Anyone else with this issue?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] orava:
Yep, it's strange that every time you plug the cable, the default value is "charge only". So with CM13 there is need to change MTP connection every single time when you want to move the data. With lollipop MTP was default and you just had to unlock the phone screen once if it was not already open. So there is no any security benefits vs lollipop and that's why it feels more like a bug than feature.

Someone knows what is the f2s thing function enabled now in nightly ? Something about sdcard0 ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] the.gangster:
[MENTION=3582785]Draky50110[/MENTION]

if you refer to the f2fs merges for the next nightly: looks like f2fs-support for /cache and /data gets added (next to existing ext4).

Nothing to do with sdcard0 or the mount points or whatever you mean.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tltan86:
If my understanding is not wrong, you'll still require the f2fs support of kernel (i think already have?). f2fs support of recovery is still optional, as you should be able to format using a computer.

My two cents. Ha.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] the.gangster:
In my understanding this and that is for the kernel.

But anyway, I guess [MENTION=3582785]Draky50110[/MENTION] 's question has been answered. Let's wait and see what progress our Marshmallowed S2 will make instead of discussing every commit before it's even compiled into a build.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Lysergic Acid:
The ROM now supports f2fs in /data and /cache. You'll need a recovery that can format in this filesystem or use a command like this in adb shell:

mkfs.f2fs -l f2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 (that's for /cache)
mkfs.f2fs -l f2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p10 (that's for /data)

Of course, mount /system first because that's where the mkfs.f2fs tool is located ;)

If the question is about multiuser, no it's not supported on physical sdcards, only on emulated, so we don't have it :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SaZoN:
1) Can i format /system to f2fs with twrp in future (if f2fs implement in twrp)? Will the system boot after that?

2) Does it make sense to format the sdcard to f2fs?

To 1): LSD wrote: "The ROM now supports f2fs in /data and /cache." so: no!

I am still on nightly as of 23rd. So where can I look up what features exactly will be dropped with that switch from common_full_phone towards common_mini_phone.mk.

I personally think, now after the storm of users who "accidently" updated from 12.1 to 13 has calmed down there was no need anymore for such a change. If it had been done before gaining official status (before 12.1 nighly users got offered the update to 13 via OTA), I would have understood it better, but now?
