[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zoubidou:
ok i know it's an old matter, but I want to recall a problem which exists since the beginning and has never been solved.

at first startup i have no data connexion, even if it is enabled in the settings (3G or H)

i have to switch power off/on to see it starting, and usually it is 3G for about 20 minutes, and then only H.

it still takes about 5 minutes until it turns green.

after once i initialise wifi, wifi and 3G or H (most of the time 3G) it shows them both in the same time for at least ten minutes until it switches off the 3G or H whatever.

after it shows only H wifi off, i turn wifi on, H stays on but turns white.

sometimes i have to deactivate and reactivate data (3G/H) before it really starts switching, and it is still pretty slow.

and so on.

It seems that somehow the switching on/off of data (3G or H), which works very well in stock gingerbread 2.3.2, and wifi does not work appropriately.

I think it is worth to have a look at it, because it is essential in the fonctioning of the phone.

The above mentioned problems are persisting throughout any modem (JV1, JQ1, or any other old modem), and throughout any version from 0304 to the last 0317.

It never changed and with any kernel (default, zach's or bilboa1).

Typed in on GALAXY S i9000, using 1703 zacharias kernel (because of voodoo sound) 1703 RC.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gbohm:
Yes i made a bug tracker entry a couple of days ago about it
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] brujoand:
Weird, I have never had the issue with switching between 2g/3g/H
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] branalvere:
I used to have that exact problem and in fact I flashed back to darky because of it. Came back and haven't had issue with builds after 0306. This new build is stable. The alarm clock now has a full screen snooze. Did it before?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zoubidou:
it is not between 2g 3g and h:

it is between wifi (on/off) and data 3G/H

when wifi is on data(3g/h) is off, and vice and versa.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
Not if you set it to have separate buttons...

Having said that, this morning I got the separate buttons as usual, pressed the stop button, then I got a different screen with just the snooze button, then no sevice, then had to reboot... :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] brujoand:
oh, okay. Still dont have that problem though :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zoubidou:
you are lucky obviously
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] shantzu:
I've taken the update down.

Thanks everyone for the feedback!

Edit:

This is a modification I added to my alarm clock which hasn't been sent upstream yet (mainly because there's no option to turn the fullscreen snooze on/off) and it accidentally got included in the update. Sorry for that!

All System Dirs R/W?

Hi all,

some days ago i tried CM and i really like it. The only thing i'm missing ist the poor camera implementation... Is there a possibility to make the samsung apps working on CM? Simply moving does'nt work :confused:

i realized that vignette app runs properly but did'nt had the time to compare photos from insanity to CM... video also is'nt worth to speak about...

Also noticed that all System Dirs are open for write access. Is this normal?

Please, please - make the camera (and fmradio) properly work (video)!!! Still running insanity which is also a great rom and properly runs samsung's apps.

Does the signal strength indicator run properly meanwhile? I always had full ratings.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pacoforet:
Samsung Apps will NEVER work in CM7. Never, so if this is a showstopper for you, CM7 is not your ROM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gbohm:
Please read more of this thread...

Allmost no samsung app will work because you don't have the touchwiz framework......

Yeah signal strength freezes sometimes...

You can't compare this rom to any custom/modded rom it is completly different
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] karbid:
... and there's definitely no chance to make an interface between these apps? How could ever work the hardware of different phones with this rom properly?

I really like this rom and want to switch finally. Any chance to get some more infos about the hardware? Samsung won't give details or sources i belive...?!

In vignette app i can choose between some resolutions even in CM, the included app does'nt support this so there must be an interface where can be hooked on... unfortunately in video mode it switches to CM app...

karbid
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gbohm:
Of course samsung open sourced their stuff .

I have no idea what the touchwiz framework and it's app has to do with hardware but let me tell you that cm is working on improving the battery

No there are no intentions to bring that pos touchwiz to cm

Vignette app sounds austrian : wenn du noch fragen hast kannst auch pm schreiben...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] g00ndu:
For the Temperature issue, I remember clearly that Samsung stock had a very much higher threshold. My phone will stop charging only when it hit 60°C! It happened twice before. Thus, in my opinion the threshold should be set higher than right now.

I just hope codeworkx can change the settings.

Sent from my GT-I9000
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] branalvere:
No apology required, I like it! Hope it gets included as a setting in future builds
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] codeworkx:
Sorry but this is simply bull****.

We've created aries because we didn't want to create the biggest ifdef hell the world has ever seen. Mach-herring is for the nexus s and still clean at our kernel sources. So it's very easy to merge from upstream. If we had created a ifdef hell, a merge would be neary impossible.

I can't explain why samsung has renamed the machine architecture from aries to herring in gingerbread, but

the different samsung teams that are involved don't know what each other team is doing.

Sgs was aries and will be aries!

It seems that voodoo is doing voodoo with supercurio.

He is having now a lot more work because we're using aries, but thats not our problem. Use it or let it be.

I wonder why it hasn't been uploaded to sourceforge...

Anybody tested Radio JQ1??? :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vukandric:
It wasn't uploaded to sourceforge because it was only a test release, and the link is down now because they only wanted to test some things about sd cards. I will try JQ1 radio and post results later.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] joaoennes:
I tested JQ1 and in battery life is very similar to JPM.

I tested several modems and I have the same battery life in all, a little more than a day with normal usage.

Here comes my problem with games installation...i set up "intallation location" to internal,and i couldn't install anything,now i reflashed new update and left it "auto",i can install anything again...i'd prefer to have data/data too,cos launcherpro FC on boot with more than a few MBs on external sd (it works normally then,but it's annoying)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gbohm:
It has been discussed it will not be chanced because of performance reasons ....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] azzledazzle:
Im running JQ1 too, everything is working as should be, all signals (wifi, 3G, 2G, GPS) all seem to be the same, not noticed any differences, Battery life seems the same, But then again i've only been using it for a day, and im a very lite user....

EDIT: im having a problem using flickie wallpapers, It says sd card not mounted, i can however see my sd card (internal and external) in 'about phone' i can also mount and unmount, but problem still persists.

All im after is a nice white wallpaper to go with the white CM theme i have just downloaded. Does anyone know how to fix this issue, or direct me to some nice wallpapers :D

This is so true!

Is there a way to install it in CM7?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Aphova:
I'm guessing that's not a CWM file and you're referring to the Voodoo Control app? I'd love Voodoo sound but I've never compiled a kernel before...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bozdag:
Anyone else having the phone not vibrating in silent mode when text is recieved?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] codeworkx:
CM7 is still not ready. Not ready for any device.

They're still putting things into it.

If someone wants to have a feature, code it and send it to cyanogen. It's community based.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pacoforet:
dumdidum: #SGS is giving me a birthday present :-) i can see a preview picture from cam.

Hell Yeah.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bilboa1:
yes voodoo control app. no it's it's not a CWM file its a diff. the cm7 kernel changes every couple of days so i figured its easier to just apply the patch than release a new kernel every 2 days ;-)

the compilation is roughly explained, it's not so hard actually

patch applies with patch -p1 < path/to/blah.diff

if it does rejects you have to fix by hand.

you can also just look inside the patch, it's all text and apply by hand. it's very simple and straight forward.

+ blah <= line added

- blah <= line removed

the easiest is probably to make a git branch anyway and merge that stuff back in after a sync (or merge the sync in)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MrWulf:
I'm pretty sure that I don't need to check with the devs. It'll be ready when it's ready :) They don't like being asked because it puts them under undue pressure.

Having said that, I'm really looking forward to this as well. Looks like it is going to be a fantastic accomplishment.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Stefanauss:
I'm seeing commits on git that make me hopeful we'll be able to test a half-working camera soon, maybe even the next release. It'd be awesome.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pfannenwender:
one question on cyanogenmod on the galaxy s as a whole.

when you guys are done porting cm7 for the galaxy s, will it be more or less reapplying the galaxy s patches to the codebase for cm8 and later versions?

or will it involve as much work as cm7 does?

its kinda sad, that despite being one of the most sold android phones the galaxy s has only a few developers working on the cyanogenmod port (no disrespect to you guys).

i have been a htc guy now a long time, and have been testing all sorts of CM's! Great mod! Sense is nowhere near it...

i had the pb befor already, up to and including former versions.

the pb is i tried someother rom's and it messed up somewhat this thing.

so it might only be my issue, when i try to mount it manually with terminal in su mode

mount emmc /mnt/emmc

it states invalid argument.

so if you just could tell me how to mount it manually i will take it from there.

@zoubidou:

get another branded SD card and you most likely won't see any issues anymore

San Disk & SGS (or Android in general) don't seem to play well - I've read a lot of reports about problems (and experienced data loss myself)

strange - really strange
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zoubidou:
i did an fsck

in fact it is not fsck_msdos -pf /dev/block/mmcblk1p1

it is fsck_msdos -pf /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

and the fsck gave me a invalid signature in boot block

it is not a SanDisk it is a Micro SD

how can i format it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
micro SD is the form factor, San Disk would be a manufacturer

*) if you've a card reader for SD cards - get yourself a microSD to SD adapter and put it into that

*) if you've a micro SD to usb adapter use that

both times connect it to your computer and format it with fat32 from windows or linux (vfat) - do not make a quickformat - do a full format that will make sure that bad sectors will get marked
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] umd:
I have a Sandisk microsd card and I can't use it either. Couldn't try format yet, it's 16 gb :(

Why anyone fix this annoying bug? Is it so little priority?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:

I get the same,

seems like parted is probing for something and doesn't have access to it

wrong idea :p

ls -l /sbin/parted
-rw-rw---- 1 root root 346680 Mar 1 17:16 /sbin/parted

lol

chmod a+x /sbin/parted

should fix it

yes it does
