And for us Nexus S users that have LCD screens, will the gamma controls be disabled when we flash? I hope so, because they would be useless
[Nexus S General] yaachi:
does anyone using BFS kernel have network dropped after using a while in recent nightlies?:confused:
[Nexus S General] DaX05:
Slightly off topic but see how this Nexus S is stuck on the bootloader screen. It wont even scroll down. Power button doesn't work, removing battery just brings it back to that screen. Any ideas?
[Nexus S General] cheech87:
I have a question about the way the brightness changes levels. It used to be the case with CM that when auto brightness goes to increase (decrease) brightness, there was about a one second fade transition to make it less noticeable. Over the last few weeks, I've noticed the transition is instant and looks harsh.

Anyone else experiencing this or know how/why it got changed?
[Nexus S General] plusforce:
sorry but how can I check that when my screen is off ?

you mean I should unlock it and edit that file to see the value ?

after unlock that value remains there ?
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Do you know how to use ADB?
[Nexus S General] :
#247 is up.

[Nexus S General] plusforce:
just a few commands

and dont know how to edit a file ...

but if i connect it to pc the leds will remain on completely !
[Nexus S General] xsteven77x:
Oh my. After flashing 247 my screen colors are so JACKED the F up its unreal. After a reboot it's fixed but that was downright crazy.
[Nexus S General] KalimochoAz:
If when you connect the device to the PC leds remain on, means you have selected in your configuration the notify on debug mode. check your configuration on cyanogenmod settings.
[Nexus S General] BlindWolf8:
A reboot does not fix this for me. It seems it's a borked Color Gamma Tuning settings screen under the new Device Settings menu under Settings. Rebooting seems to flush any settings you had previously set.
[Nexus S General] :
Try to use voodoo application it will fix it for ever and it keeps the settings for every reboot.

Edit: Now tried voodoo application fixed it. it's because of gamma, decrease a little and it will be ok.

Edit2: @Kalim i tried to every way that i can but touchkeys always on while using usb of course not big problem but exists.

Also this isn't work

echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/notification/bl_timeout

echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/notification/timeout

or in device menu delay time not working too, if you choose 1 second or 2 or any of them. For now will turn back to the NB242.
[Nexus S General] BlindWolf8:
Didn't install voodoo but it fixed itself after multiple reboots?!
[Nexus S General] adclem:
I set the color settings to Red .57066, Green .53866 and Blue .61066 then I set the Gamma settings Red, Green and Blue to 0 and the screen is now fine. But the Gamma settings do no stay at 0. They go back and forth between -60 and -120. But the screen colors look fine.
[Nexus S General] KalimochoAz:
When you connect to usb it starst the lights because you have configured notification on usb debug. dissable this from cyanogenmod setitings
[Nexus S General] :
i never let usb debugging on while i'm using my phone i always close it. also the led option force off by default with category settings and there is no such problems or reactions with #242. Thanks.

a little note: Main menu name Device Setting / Cihaz Ayarları into turkish.
[Nexus S General] KalimochoAz:
Gamma correction issue resolved. New nightbuild should be ok.

Kalim
[Nexus S General] bgdxv:
Can you please tell me what happens for us that have LCD screens? Are those settings disabled or do they influence the device in any way?
[Nexus S General] KalimochoAz:
They are dissabled on LCD screens. No influence at all

My thoughts exactly.
[Nexus S General] HeavenlyWinds:
Latest version screwed up the colors. Back to 245
[Nexus S General] synaesthetic:
I get this problem using anything above CM7.1 stable. It doesn't happen on 7.1, but any nightly after it, and any kernel after it (stock or otherwise) will almost invariably SOD when charging overnight which generally annoys me. My alarm doesn't work so well if the phone freezes while sleeping.
[Nexus S General] adclem:
Its caused by the GAMMA settings, it is already fixed for the next nightly release.
[Nexus S General] HeavenlyWinds:
Thanks looking forward to it.
[Nexus S General] thejron:
Went back to more stock rom, bionix, and man CM seems sluggish as hell now.
[Nexus S General] terryhau:
Since 245, I am getting the same problem without USB debug notification, so it's not that.

And also other strange behavior, such as the backlight staying on for 5 seconds after screen off, and dimmer not working.

This one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1297566
[Nexus S General] maxmax0:
You, sir, have the truth of it.

I also love CM and would love to run it as my daily ROM, but the fact that CM has been unstable on Google's lead device(!) for months(!) is really troubling. Honestly I've been getting more stability out of the ICS SDK port betas than CM - quite shocking if you think about it.
[Nexus S General] sinik420:
Never had a stability problem on cm that wasn't my fault, a kernel fault or a bug that was acknowledged and fixed (which were minor). Most problems I see are user installation error (using rom manager) and messing with things like OC and UV that their phone cannot handle and then blaming cm. The same as this color problem that was fixed in one build. My stock was the real problem.

Edit- and its a dev phone for a reason, test limitations over and over and you'll know the true potential. Stifle that and intelligent people like koush and morfic and ezekeel have no place. Enjoy the Lego set android gave us and be happy its not the put together puzzle apple hands out
[Nexus S General] saranyan:
Every phone is different, Just for the record i don't use rom manager for installation. Don't UV or OC. My observations were on CM 7.1.0.1 on stock kernel, Up time 0f 55 hours and then it suddenly froze :(. Pretty sure it was not any app problem because i am running the same backed up apps in oxygen..

out of curiousity , Are you using CM stable or nightly builds, Longest time your phone has gone without reboots or hangs.?

@Kalim- CM 7.1.0.1 download link is down, I wanted to try CM again today. :(
[Nexus S General] sinik420:
I flash something almost every day, and the only time its off is to flash and cycle battery. Rebooting my phone before bed has helped me to never miss an alarm. I'm unsure technically as to why but it seems that rebooting keeps it stable. I use Trinity teuv regularly, rarely stock and only to test new kalim function. I've noticed missing minutes on batt state overnight so that may be when it reboots but I've never had loop or sod. Always a kang from Taichi as well.
[Nexus S General] saranyan:
I don't know how rebooting everyday can make it stable, Think my phone reboots/hangs/sod after some four days of use, Thats why i feel its unstable. I only flash stable roms or kernels. For me a stable rom has to not have any issues for atleast a week.
[Nexus S General] yojlik:
Meanwhile on my Nexus One running CM7, I have achieved uptime along the order of months. You don't think that my fiancee (who would just like the phone to be able to wake her up and make calls when asked) should be able to expect the same from the Nexus S?

This isn't a Blackberry, it shouldn't require a reboot to make it through the night.

Like saranyan, I'm not here to criticize any of the CM team who are doing this as a side project for the love of open sourced software. I understand with any project like this there are going to be problems and I'm willing to put up with them in order to have the fun of tinkering with my phone. But let's be perfectly honest, CM7 has never been stable on the Nexus S and they shouldn't call it that when four days of uptime is considered doing well. (Also, so you understand where I'm coming from, the G2x she came from never had 48 hours of uptime on the stock ROM so to her a reboot or two a week is about 400% better than LG's.)
[Nexus S General] saranyan:
Very true. Whatever said and done, I am waiting for CM9 from the cyanogen team. :).. Since i am not planning to change my phone till july 2012, Hope CM9 can be stable enough to be my daily driver as no other ROM has so much features. :)
[Nexus S General] maxmax0:
If you would have bothered to read the history on this (which you obviously did not), you would know that many users that did not mess with kernels, OC, UV etc. and still have the bug.

This may come as a suprise to you, but the fact that YOU did not have a the stability problem yet does not negate its existence.

---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 PM ----------

Same - my Legend running CM had an uptime of several months after last flash (and I suspect the same would be true for Nexus S with stock ROM).

Color Multipliers, R=.5653 G=.5386 B=.6079

Gama, R=-14, G=-17, B=-18

@Kalim Hi.

Not working "echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/notification/bl_timeout"

Not working "echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/notification/timeout"

or in device menu delay time not working too, if you choose 1 second or 2 or any of them and i guess this is beacuse of why leds on while usb plugged in.

Gamma things still same, when you touch the settigs r g b one by one it will be good but each reboot goes bad.

Also echo command works for uV mV table but not for notification subsystem. not work with terminal emulator too.
[Nexus S General] coloxim:
Kali...your kernel is the best..about battery life too!!

but I've a problem with backlight

For what it's worth for people with stability issues and freezes. I am running rooted stock because I too got fed up with CM instability. The extra "features" aren't worth it.

Just checked - uptime currently 20 days - and that's because I took a flight 20 days ago.

I almost think it's time to start a new rom from scratch.
[Nexus S General] :
people that who suffer from touch key back lithgs on while usb plugged in.

please open setting/cyanogen setting/interface/led interface open category than open edit category settings and led mode select use application settings than press flash test and ok button. everything will be work untill you reboot the phone. whe find this way with the kalim so thanks to him. :)

first time you boot gamma color still broken but if you set after first reboot and reboot again its good normal.

but led thing still same. but flash test not solve forme at least. i'm trying to solve somehow.
[Nexus S General] xsteven77x:
After flashing the last few builds led will stay lit up constantly for a few hours and then just stops and functions correctly after a few hours. Very weird indeed!
[Nexus S General] Long813:
I'm running #245 at the moment because I heard that it has fixed the boot-screen lock up/freeze.

I haven't encountered it YET,, but it's only been 16 hours.

A few things I have noticed though:

When I press power to turn off the screen, for a small instance it goes into a negative of the background. So, BG (on) -(press power)-> BG Negative --> OFF

The battery drain is now insane. I was running CM7 before and I could go through a full day of moderate+ usage and end at maybe 50% after 14 hours. Now, at the same time of little usage I end up at 30.
[Nexus S General] :
make this please

settings / cyanogen settings / interface / led notification / advanced / reset

and

unconfigured / category settings / press flash test than all will be ok.

if you no reboot should be turned of with your settings.

try to use different launcher instead off adb and close google backup transport and try again. it may help.
[Nexus S General] uvlight:
It does not seem to work for me neither

I even go into recovery, format cache, data, system, boot. install nightly #250, and follow exactly the step above.

also, I set the following

settings -> Device settings -> Backlight Timeout to 2 seconds

The touch key backlight does not turn off after 2 seconds (or the default 5 seconds)

I am suspecting because I am using i9023 (not i9020), anyone have the same problem can confirm that?
[Nexus S General] :
i can't test with i9023 but work with i9020t

after do steps don't touh led app settings

or make all led ettings than go category ettings select use application settings and flash test once. i hope it may help.
[Nexus S General] Long813:
I use LPP and will look into google backup transport as I have no clue what that is.

give 7.1.0.1 stable a chance first, with ezekeels cfs(!)-kernel.

sure, can't say if it will be stable for a week, but so far it's perfectly stable. with cm-stock it would've been 2 sod's already.

i already had stockrom downloaded when ezekeel uploaded his kernel. cm7 saved by the bell. :)

After installing Nightly 250 with full wipe I have a problem with the audio switch in the notification power widget.

Bonjour Kalim,

Would like to report that just before upgrading to #251, I have been on #247 for >65 hours, not the smallest stability problem, no reboot, no sleep of death, no lag, and as you know I need a phone that works !

I am on plain CM7, with ADW replaced by stock launcher which I prefer.

Thank you for your stabilization efforts, they pay !
[Nexus S General] thejron:
I'm getting crazy battery drain.
[Nexus S General] KalimochoAz:
Try using battery monitor app and alogcat and CPU Spy to recover as much information as possible in order to see what is going wrong on your device. I will take a look of your report.

[Nexus S General] sinik420:
Betterbatterystats is more helpful for me, battery monitor app was causing drain and deleting has helped immensely. And isn't this more helpful than installing another app that runs more processes continually
[Nexus S General] plusforce:
there is a problem on 251

before screen's automatic turn off, we have a step that screen light decreases .

in that step the screen colour becomes GREEN , I mean the brighness decreases but

all the colours are green ! it remains green till the screen turns off.
[Nexus S General] :
yes my point.

that's because you set the color lover than 0,5946666601

also your gamma is -60 for all color.

make your color settings for all color minimum 0,5946666601 than you will never see it. because lower rate(as dim) is %8 for brightness and when the lights are decrese a little it will goes from %8 to %0 than because of your settings makes the screen greener. :)
[Nexus S General] Roscopcoletrain:
What are your settings at?

Ive been trying to tweak these since I flashed 251. cant quite get it to where I had it with Voodoo/punchy settings
[Nexus S General] :
Brightness %0 always (by brightness level widget (curve fish))

Gamma all color R/G/B -60.

Color. R/G/B 0,5946666601

I can't do -60 with gamma, colors freak out

thanks guy , now it's ok

mine is

Gamma R/G = -60 and B = -52

Wish we could save this setting on SD for next rom or it had a defualt key with those setting .
