Hello,
I've been using Cm7 latest KANGs since months, they're all good but there's ALWAYS been problems in every cm7 build that makes me hate this phone when it happens.
The problem is that they happen randomly with no apparent explanation!
problem #1
almost every week it happens that the phone drain battery very fast and gets a little hot. The reason is "suspend" process running wildly in the background.
What is it and why doesn't happen always? Solution : reboot, after it drained half your battery
edit : now "mediascanner" took the place of suspend
problem #2
every 3-4 days if you never reboot the phone it gets to a point where its slow and slightly unreactive. When you surf with Opera you notice a struggle to process data like something is using the CPU, the reality is that nothing is.
The worst part about this is when the phone is in that state and you do something that involves a cpu process you hear a noise form the speakers like an interference it's very difficult to explain. If you happen to listen to music in this state everything that you do makes the music lag like if it restarted every 1/3s of a second, like when you try to playback some video from a source that has a slower reading speed than the video bitrate itself. A jerky playback.
Solution = reboot.
problem #3 every month the phone (even on silent mode) "screams". :| that's right, from the speakers you suddenly hear random "leaks" of loud and high pitch sound things for NO REASON.
"problem #4" the front facing camera is just bad it doesn't adjust to the light with auto exposure compensation. It has very bad banding and digital noise things on the image. I thought it was a driver problem in cm7 but it happens in stock too. This problem didn't happen in the first nightlies of cm7.
Are those bugs reported?
I'm currently in problem 2 and I'll just let it do its thing just to see how funny the battery graphic will look. In 6h runtime I have "suspend" using the cpu for 30minutes and going.
I tried every kernel.
i have the same problem as you with suspend i dont know what it is, but anyways my battery is not that bad after 16 hours is still 58% medium usage.
we can try asking temasek if he has a clue.
I also have problem #3
very strange, happens sometimes even when the phone is on silent, and it's been sitting on my nightstand for 7hours without me using it (plugged in)
it also happens sometimes when it's not plugged in and I'm just browsing the web
(seems to happen more often when viewing video's)
What annoys me most its problem #1 . It's just unacceptable to have something for no reason draining your battery when you phone is sleep mode, even worse when you don't when it will happen!
#1 - I rarely have this issue but it doesn't drain my battery.
#2 - I don't hve this issue
#3 - I don't hve this issue
#4 - I use LG modded camera so no such issue.

Now I have it and I can't get it to go away!! It drains battery at about 10% per hour (without touching the device). What kernel are you using?
Can you link me the camera mod?
Got another for the list!
BBC iplayer !
On both the app and the Web page it works fine through the interface, the intro to your TV program works fine, then you get into the program and the picture is just pixelated rainbow mush! Lol!
Weirdly if you minimize the program and then resize the image it's fine!
What's that all about?
another one:
( I think its with every android version above 2.34)
if there are too many apps moved to sd card (about 50) phone works only till first reboot. once shut down and turned on again, phone keeps on rebooting. only thing that helps is putting sd in pc and delete some .asec-files from .android_secure-folder.
I had #3 before, I think it was around Temasek kang 1x.. After a dozens of flashes, I forgot it ever existed.

There's another one too which is important to save battery life: sometimes the wifi connection doesn't start until you go into the wifi settings. Meaning that if you are within the coverage you won't be connected to the wifi network until you go into wifi settings. This will drain battery because the phone won't turn off the eventual 3G active connection

I tried that but I what I meant is during video calls with skype and gtalk! It shows the correct exposure at the first second that goes into wrong mode.
BTW this phone has the worst ff camera, just bad bad bad quality
haha...the speaker scream at night....
just flash CM7 (Alien Revolution) this morning,
only some minor things found:
1. have to remove the latin.apk manually to against force close
2. can't use the original screen capture (HOME + POWER),
use the option by long press the power button for replacement
3. while playing "Let's golf 3", it got force close
clear the data of the game and it's solved.
4. 2 hrs before, the phone signal suddenly drop and disconnected...
just reboot and see whether it happen again...
Hi Temasek.. will this camera mod work with MIUI roms?

I have another problem on using CM7, it's the HDMI connection. My phone doesn't displayed on 1080p mode, pic quality is awful (my LCD TV is full hd capable).
And when I played a movie and throw it to the LCD TV on landscape mode, it displayed only for couple of seconds and then blackout. My phone continued to play the movie though. This is not happening in portrait mode.
On Optimus 2x stock ROM, it is possible to select hdmi resolution. How to do that in CM7?
Thanks!

working fine and perfect with alienRevolution 1.9.1 ! Best ROM!
Problem #1 happend to me once, i was on ETaNa Kernel 0mb (i dont know wich version) and a Temasek Kang (think it was 61)
Never happend again. Now i am on ETaNa 32mb 18th Feb. and Temasek Kang 66, everything works fine for me.
I think the battery draining issue was just a bad RIL now battery seems as it should be.
I still have problem #2 though and I can't believe I am the only one experiencing it!
I made a mistake because I was powering off the phone at night in the last month but now that I'm keeping it on at night I can say it happens after 1 day of running time.
Basically when you start using it the second day the phone becomes unresponsive, go launcher EX keeps reloading icons very often, it takes sometimes 2-3 secs to open an app after you press on it , Opera keeps getting shutting down if you check another app for 1 second, when you go back you have to wait 6-7secs for it to restart. The situatios stabilizes itself a little when you keep using it (still not that snappy like at boot) but then goes back to the same sluggishness.
Juicedefender shows in the logs that "memory is low" and for how the phone acts it does look like it but I always have 80-100MB left and even if I kill every service running the sluggishness is still there. SO what the hell is causing it? Could this "suspend" be responsible for memory leaks? Again what does this suspend do?
Here's a screenshot for today only after the overnight recharge.
And of course the phone died while I was charging screen or phone wouldn't turn at all, apparently it charged to 56% and then BSOD
Just to make sure, am I the only one where suspend uses all the cpu?
i have also tryed cm7, its nice and stable but a little bug which forced me to change the rom, go launcher always restarts and i have to force close it and whenever i put some movies and images in sd card gallery doesnt updated it and shows old files only, thats y i changed my rom.
Hey guys,
I have my Note for about 7 months now. The last 4 months I used a ICS nightly rom (can't quite remember which one it was).
Everything went smoothly, but some day the Note started to take a while to wake up. Did not make a difference if powered on by home button or by the power button. I thought this was an issue of too many apps or something. So I wanted to make a clean new install. So I did everything in the normal procedure (wiping everything, install new rom etc.)
So now I tried the Rocket ICS, the Rocket JB and currently the ParanoidAndroid roms, but I still experience this enormous lag of 4-8 seconds when waking up. I tried the Abyss kernel 3.9 (which didn't work with the ParanoidAndroid rom, I guess b/c of the new mali drivers). So I tried a kernel with the new mali drivers, currently the JellyBeer kernel. So the rom booted fine, but still no change to the wake up lag.
So right now I just don't know what the problem is and how to fix this. The lag most often appears after the phone rested for a while. Also changing the cpu governor does not change a thing (ondemand, conservative, performance, and so on)
I hope one of you guys has an approach or a solution to this problem, because this is getting really annoying.
Thanks in advance,
MCSCHMIDD
No ideas?
Additional info: that lag does NOT appear when I have the phone connected to my PC or a power outlet, only when running on the battery alone. Switched the battery yesterday, seemed to work fine again. But after recharging on the power outlet over night the lag appears again.
Any ideas guys?
My brother's galaxy note have been facing serious sod problems since he bought the phone at Nov 2012. After he faced it the 1st time , he sent to SC and got it back. After 1-2months the problem came again and he asked for my help. I persume it was because the malaysian firmware of the ICS was somewhat unstable from what i read from forums here and there. So i changed the firmware to JB duno from which country when it came out in MAC. After a week or so. The problem reappeared . So I just decided to root and chnge the kernel and also the ROM. Changed the ROM to a stock rom and a kernel. Still the problem persist. I'm out of options. Went to the ****ty SC and the idiots just factory reset the phone and give u back. BUNCH OF RETAR*S . (sorry for my languange)
Hope someone here may help me out with my problem. Thanks a million :laugh:
Check all the apps you have installed maybe you find the bad one whose causing it as you have mentioned it comes after sometime of installing a fresh rom and have you tried any aosp rom maybe that will fix the issue

I just installed an aosp rom (PA) and I hope it fixes the problem. Well I've seen the amount of apps installed in the note and its jst a quarter the amount I have in the Galaxy S2 and my S2 works like a charm. The note has been giving me headache ever since I got it from my brother. Hope this does solve it , if not I guess its something else maybe hardware
Phone sod twice on paranoid android. FML! Guess im visiting SC tmrw again.
Same problem with me..
My Note 1 has SOD since 1st time bought it..
be patience to install JB --> still SOD
change kernel to SpeedMod 5.3 --> SOD again
change kernel to PhilZ --> sometimes SOD
I have read many information that related with SOD in galnote 1, my opinion it is related with hardware too.. sometimes
or it is related with kernel... it can not wake from deep sleep..
anyone have another better suggestion to cure this ?
if u're using pure stock rom still facing the same problems then definitely is hardware issues！
if ur device still under warranties suggest bring to SC ask them do a thorough check on it n let them know what's going on actually...
Yes, I use stock ROM still has SOD,
so it's hardware issue for sure...
but I will keep the phone for now because sometimes SC doesn't give solution to this..

I too get this SOD once a week on my GT-N7000
Phone status when this happens:
stock JB(earlier ICS), non-rooted, data connection, wifi, GPS, bluetooth all disabled. Battery mostly above 80%.
Gmail, Google+, Facebook and all other social n/w apps disabled (yes, i am an oldtimer )
During SOD, if a third party calls my number, he hears it ringing, but my handset is dead as dodo (quite dangerous as the calling person may think i am not answering it)
i used to get this when it was on ICS and still getting it after i upgraded to JB.
Most of the time, SOD occurs during wee hours in morning ( i used battery monitor app that logs battery stats every 10 minutes to check the time when this happens).
Sometimes it occurs when the phone is in my jeans back pocket. phone needs a 10 second press on pwr switch to restart it.
Turning off the "power saver" mode seem to reduce the probability of SOD.
i have taken this phone to SC and they re-flashed the JB.
i told the SC chap that i have already done this and couple of factory resets, but he said that they do "much more" than just re-flashing through kies like calibrating camera, bluetooth )
does anyone in the know, know if this is indeed true ?
Thanks

updates...
After 2 days of re-flashing at a samsung authorised service center, i got SoD 2 times in a period of 12 hours.
once last night and second time when i was traveling to office.
Last night i installed some bare-minimum apps back after waiting 2 days for any SoD to happen in "stock" condition.
Well.... i did not pay 30K to use the GNote as just a phone, so installed some basic apps (Battery monitor, Bangalore BMTC, RealCalc, GPS Test, ES File explorer and a first time app StatusLogger)
phone went dead at 1:00 am in morning and as usual there was no wakeup alarm.
phone was warm to touch when it was lying dead. The battery which was 96% at 00:30 AM had gone down to 54% at 7:00 AM.
Status logger did not show any loss of GSM signal which might have resulted in phone transmitting at higher power/hunting for signal etc.
The "radio" seemed working, because when i made a call to the dead phone from my landline, i could hear the phone ring instead of expected "phone is switched off" message i was expecting.
So this has to do with application processor going in some infinite loop.
Uninstalling all apps is NOT an option.
anyone know if we can establish any debug connection to phone and know what the hell CPU is up to in this situation ?
any processor logger that will periodically log all the processes running on phone ?
SOD resolved... not a single one since 6 months.
Hey guys, just wanted to share this info with you, I had SOD's like anything and did all freakingly possible things right from flashing roms to kernels, speed up CPU, banging my head in front of the dumb witted morons at samsung service... to get rid of that pain. What helped me was an app called "WAKELOCK" by darken which is merely 72kb in size but works wonders, not a single SOD after that. What u need to do is.... it has a list of presets that makes sure your cpu stays up. You need to select the preset called "partial wake lock" which is at no. 4, and viola...
It ensures that the CPU is running. No SOD ever after. Also, you need to make it autorun on boot from the options. Yea, it does eat up batter a bit more but its definitely manageable. I still need to charge my note only at night.
Just to be sure, I uninstalled it and guess what, SOD returned. So, do try it, I hope it helps...

Battery Life
I just installed this ROM, and previously I had the CM11 that was too slow for me. It's not incredibly fast on my I9000 but works fine, the only problem is the battery lifespan that compared to the original gingerbread 2.3.6 it's really less (10 hours almost)
Hi Kasper
I was wondering if there is going to be an update soon as the m12 has just rolled out with security fixes
Thanks for all your hard work
Hi peeps.
Just a quicky..
Is there anyway of changing screen DPI on this ROM.. If so how.??
(I have used kernel tweaker DPI function & two other DPI changing apps - but of no luck)

Profile & sound settings
Hello,
First of all, I wish to thank you, karsper_h. Your 4.9.14 ROM has given a real rebirth to my old SGS.
Unfortunately, I encounter a small problem with your rom: I am using the profile feature of CM to automatically switch setting (wifi, sounds, etc...) depending on where I am (or should I say when I am, since this is time based).
In settings/sound, I can change the ring volume all right.
However, The setting which is recorded in the profile does not get applied.
Assume the ring volume is set to the maximum. Then I have a profile called "work", where the ring volume is set to a low value.
Switching to the "work" profile does not modify the ring volume.
This was working on CM10 & CM11.
For the record, my phone went from stock 2.3.6 (factory reset) to CM10.1.3 to CM11-M12 to MacKay 4.9.14. I did not wipe the phone when going from CM12 to MacKay, considering the two roms are exactely at the same verion level.
I do not have experienced other problem: this rom is actualy fast and stable.
Is someone else experiencing this problem ?
remap bluetooth earphone buttons
Is there a way to remap the earphone bluetooth buttons ? Actually long pressing volumes up redial the last call, and long pressing volume down launch a voice recognition app that doesn't understand a word I say

battery duration
How long is the battery duration with the i9000 whit this ROM (MACKAY 4) ?

It heavily depends on your usage of the phone.
If I leave my I9000 alone, with wifi and data off, the battery consumption can get below 1%/hour.
In my normal usage, it's about 2%/hour on average, giving easily more than one day of autonomy.
If your battery doesn't last that long, then something is preventing your phone to go into deepsleep state when idle.
To find out what is causing this, I suggest you install the application BetterBatteryStats, available on f-droid (no ads) and the playstore (with ads).
Hope this will help you.
Problem with Google Apps
Hi kasper_h

Hello Kasper
First thankyou for this awesome rom,
I have a question for overclock,
I go to performace and to CPU frequency i select 1200MHz, but after usin phone with overclock restart automatically.
Can anyone tell me what is problem??
Your phone is designed to work at 1GHz frequency, perhaps 1.2GHz is too taxing for your phone.
Errors over and over!!!
any Crash Error that you can think about appear in my phone since yesterday! i was using this rom for months but these problems started annoying me from yesterday! it even doesn't let me check my sms messages and answer them! or even can't use dialer! etc.!
Errors:
Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped!
Unfortunately, process com.google.process.gapps has stopped!
Unfortunately, Trebuchet has stopped!
and ...
the errors show after another over and over! specially when i connect to internet(turning wifi on)
Even sometimes desktop does'nt load!! :| :| :|
Is there any solution!!??
* I don't want to lose any data and applications,sms, etc!
Problem with touch-input
Special thanks for the creator of this ROM for his efforts.
I have a question concerning a bug I am experiencing. Often I am not able to make any touch-command on the right wing of the screen, about 1cm, this is especially annoying when it happens during typing. I experienced the same bug on CM11, but not on the original firmware, I believe. The occurence is not bound to any special app, it even happens on the Home screen.
Is this a known bug and is anyone experiencing the same? Any suggestions what causes this?
Sometimes after rebooting i dont seem to be able to get my SIM card recognized and so have no mobile network.
does anybody else have this?
I think that this rom is the best of the best and i think the best rom must have the best splash screen so i prefer to change the splash screen
Hey i think you must re-install the rom and i think it will work

I want to thanks you a lot for your ROM I use from 1.xx to 4.99 and my SGS go fine and smoth, Very Excellent Work!!! You are Great!!!
I am very happy that you are working on a ROM based on LP
Hi guys, since on or two week im using my Galaxy S again as my smartphone. I planned this before, so I searched before for the "best" ROM for me. Just to have a fast, longlasting phone for next weeks.
I tried many this, my jig was on heavy duty - and finally i picked the mackay ICS ROM. It comes with an mackay kernel and i didnt changed that.
Modem is XXJVT from the i9000 model.
Reacts when i touch something, doenst need a powerstation nearby. Fine. I dont use it much, may for 15 minutes whatsapp / 5 minutes calling per da and 20-30 minutes reading on lowest brigthtness.
But yesterday i notiiced this and it doesnt likes right for me.... (see attached Screenshot)
What do you think about the wifi power consuption? (Dont get me wrong, Battery lasts still more than 1 day... but just laying on the couch should be 3-5, right?)
I would like so have tipps what to do know with the lowest efford.
Flash another Kernel? Modem? Monitoring the Apps? (less than 10 installed, no gapps)[QRCODE][/QRCODE]
