Hi.
I'm new to these forums and have had a good look for threads relating to the three issues I'm having but haven't come up with much directly relevant to them. Hopefully someone will point me in the right directions. For the record I'm using the latest CM from nadlabak, 7.2.4e.
1. First issue is the camera not focussing bug that I have seen references to but mostly old ones where it was meant to be fixed in an old update. My camera is terribly blurry, though once in a while, it will be quite sharp. It doesn't correspond to the 24.5 day cycle that the original bug was meant to have. Changing the date on the phone has no effect on the problem (though I'm not sure if it's meant to). Is this a problem that some milestones just have permanently/
2. Recurring events in the stock Calendar app don't seem to work. When I try to create one it says that the event is created but then there is nothing in the day/time slot that shows up. Changing an event from a one-time event to a recurring one results in the event being deleted as well. Anyone else experiencing this?
3. Setting the phone to automatically use date and time information from the mobile network doesn't work. I'm pretty sure this used to work on the phone, perhaps before I installed Cyanogen on it, but that's a while ago now so I'm not sure.
Any help anyone could give me on the above would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Bill.
Hi Bill,
You have some really strange problems. I've never heard of them.
Try out some 3rd party camera app from Play Store or a different rom. Maybe the camera issue is hardware related.
I could only test the calendar from CM10, but it worked fine.
I checked CM7 two weeks ago and time/date worked.
What was your previous rom?
Thanks for the reply. Previous rom was an older build of CM7, something like a year old. All of the problems were present then as well. I've tried another camera app (Camera 360 I think) in the past and it made no difference, but I'll try again.
When you say that calendar was fine in CM10, is that specifically with recurring events. I've found since my original post that it appears to be a display issue, as when I sync to iCal (I'm on a Mac) via Syncmate the events do turn up in iCal. I just can't see them in the stock Calendar.
Bill.
I'm using Google Calendar and have a plenty of recurring events in it. They are in perfect place on my Calendar app. I also created one recurring event from my phone, just for testing your issue, and it worked fine.
I think you should take a look at this: http://support.google.com/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=99358

Hi all,
Last week i flashed my i9000 with the froyo jpo build, since doing this my exchange mail is so slow. When i open the email program now my phone hangs, eventually it comes back to life but i still cannot navigate the email. The scrolling stills and i almost never get emails to open.
Is this a known bug; and is there a fix?

It's a known Froyo problem with exchange accounts, only a lagfix will fix it.
Also, set the exchange account to "Push" to prevent a wake-lock which drains the battery
Can you advise me on how I can root froyo, it seems that all the methods and apps I have found are only for 2.1!

I have come across your message via google and have almost thrown away my galaxy mainly because of this terrible performance. I used to do my mail via my iPod touch 2nd generation which still outperforms even as 'old device' the galaxy. I updated 2 weeks ago via Samsung Kies after long waiting and tracking the news about the foreseen froyo performance benefits. However, apart from people mentioning Touchdown or K9 as alternative for (corporate) email, it 's still unclear to me how to solve this specific issue other then using the Galaxy as mobile accesspoint for my iPod touch. A bit stupid for such a device.
Besides this, after the update I loose icons like nu.nl on my homescreen after rebooting for sure but also without..
I would love if we can get directions how to solve this in a way that I do not 'blow up' my device. Yes, I have read - not done yet - about Odin, unrooting etc. but I, like akaVintz, need a more 'proven solution guide' because the lack of experience in the Android environment.
On 2.1 I used to have and Exchange and a pop3 email account set up and all worked fine.
When I updated to 2.2 the whole mail client became very very slow and many times it used to hang and many cases it would force close the email app. I simply did a factory reset and this corrected all the issues. I didn't really loose anything as my contacts etc etc are syncd with exchange I just had to download and reinstall some apps
I to have done the factory reset, like you say it's not really a problem when all your contacts are in exchange, it just doesn't seem to of cured the slowness. I really just want to apply what ever I need to sort the lag out on 2.2. Everything I have found refers only to 2.1.i have downloaded apps and they won't work for me. Please help...¿

Maybe is a service relating to a third party app that might be causing it. Do a bit of trial and error stopping and restarting services. I found one of my ip widgets was causing a lot of slow down once removed I got back to 2.1 speed.
Email performance 6 weeks later Galaxy S 2.2
As suggested I did a factory reset and it looked this corrected the mail performance issues. Having added only a few apps in the meantime (and moved to external SD card where possible), and killed any widget on the main screens I again suffer from lags (force kill email) and Android BSD instead of windows BSD. Difference is Black and Blue. Having Black Screens of Death in 2011 is not very user friendly. Reading further about something like z4root etc. makes me feel like switching to the IPhone or giving it a change. No idea of the email works better then. Apart from that, comparing my 2,5 years old ipod touch email app which does HTMl flawless with this Android 2.2 exchange client is like Apple was already 5 years ahead a that time. Anyway, it does not perform at all, did a side by side test with a HTC desire which theoratically should have been slower....but not....drives me to the last option of rooting. But wich one? So to start the weekend I hope some can share their (rooting) experience giving my Android experiences with email.
Just rooting won't make Exchange email any better. Flashing a newer ROM (which will bring root in the process) will. JPO is considerd an old ROM by now. We are at JPY by now, which is a lot better, lagfixes are no longer needed to have a fast Galaxy.
Flashing is really simple with Odin, just make sure you can get into download mode before attempting flashing and there is almost no way to mess up your Galaxy S for good. All original ROMs are available at samfirmwares.com, i suggest to read up on there, or read the Android Development subforum (which can be intimidating i admit)
I am uncertain if JPY have any improvements on this but I encounter the same problem in a stock I9000 ROM
- Click on the exchange inbox, took 3 minutes to go to the list of email
- Click on email , took 3-4 minutes and you may see the email or the email application will crash.
I was super frustrated by it as it a company mail system that I rely on, so I root the phone and get lagfix... currently with around 108 mails in inbox...opening every mail is a breeze, also facebook and android market load much faster too.
I am using a I9000ZSJPE s.w as its a Hong Kong Rom
Much better email performance with JS3 the dutch jpy update
Yesterday i flashed with odin to this samsung pre-released stock update after installing the 3 button recovery/download fix. The performance increase is indeed extreme good and to my surprise the email client suddenly supports html to a degree i can live with now. i cite someone who wrote that obviously samsung released a great piece of hardware but to early for delivering good software. anyway i really can recommend this version 2.2.1 after a lot of frustration.
Hi all,
I've updated my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Wi-Fi) to a new version (the one with a custom Sumsung skin) and now the Calendar app (which I use quite heavily) is partially broken: setting a different "First day of week" does nothing in week view (the month few does appears to display correctly). It's quite a problem as in my region, Sunday is not only the first day of week formally - but also an actual first working day, and the half-sized space at the end of the calendar doesn't really help, even leaving along the fact that it does have to respect the setting and display it before Monday. If anyone curious - I've attached the screenshots to demonstrate the problem - one from week view and one from month view, both with Sunday set as the first day of week. I tried to report a bug to Sumsung but couldn't find any way to do so - Samsung Galaxy Tab support page appears lack any kind of feedback besides writing a review. Does anybody know a way to get a bug report report to them?
Anyway, the real problem is that I'm unable to replace the app with the previous one. I though it should be easy - found an stock Honeycomb Celendar.apk, but when I try to install it, after it asks for permissions and I click "Install" it just says "Application not installed" without any additional info. So how do I get the damn thing replaced with a working copy? Or maybe there is another way to fix the problem I have?
Hi people. I wanted to report my horrible experience today and i found no general thread to add my input so i created one.
At some point during the day i opened the S note app to browse some notes i'd written last night when the phone froze while trying to open one. I pressed down the power button to restart the phone but all it did was shut down so i plugged the charger in to see if the battery died (weird because it was still at 70%+). The phone responded to this and the offline battery charging screen appeared.
I tried to boot the phone after that and indeed i saw the galaxy note logo appearing and that's all i saw. The phone wouldn't carry on to the samsung logo. So it just froze again there. I restarted ofc and the phone booted normally and for 5 minutes it was okay until...
Until i tried sending an sms at which time the same thing happened.
Not to tire you guys further the same thing has been happening for the remainder of the day up until half an hour ago where the most recent crash took place.
The issue happened mostly during a cpu speed shift. I know this because it happened as i was waking the phone a couple of times and while i generally used it for something active(yes like opening notes)
I am worried sick and i have been browsing my guarantee papers thinking of returning the phone for another one.
Has anyone else got the same issues? The samsung quick start guide says that if you get fatal errors and such you should reset the phone. Well i did several times and at one point i had a reboot where the screen went all bad with random color rows like a major screen error.
Would you recomend i give it in or do you have any ideas about what might have caused those issues?
Thank you for your time.
After tons of crashes, a glitched screen that scared the beejeezus out of me and a hard crash that made my device emit a high pitch sound similar to a bomb countdown I think i am getting close to what is making my Note crash that hard.
I guess i am one of the few people that actually uses the Note as a... Notepad!
I write many notes on it, mostly capturing good ideas that come spontaneously and generally when i want to capture a thought and trap it in my phone for later utilization. Problem is the Note can't handle it(At least that's what i think it is).
I have stored in my S-Memo application approximately 30 notes, most of them written in the old fashioned keyboard way and full of text, whereas a few others written in the Galaxy Note way with the S-Pen.
Now whenever i open the S-Memo app my phone crashes without even opening the app. It freezes on the black screen interval between my tapping the S-Memo icon and actually opening it. Now that's not the only occasion my Note crashes but it's the surest and plus it's where the problem started in the first place.
[Update] I just tried deleting all the notes and the phone got stuck while deleting. But finally they have been deleted.
I will keep the thread updated if i run into other problems. I am trying to narrow down the problem. If it gets stuck again then it's probably not the notes.
After deleting the S memo notes my phone is back to normal.
No crashes, no freezes, no nothing.
I would like to hear other people's feedback on the matter. Does your phone behave the same after writing 30+ heavily written notes on S-Memo?
If yes then Samsung sure picked the wrong name for it's phone. It does everything BUT notekeeping!
Anyway. My 5 cents guys. Peace, out!
Sorry if this is not your case (and I am probably writing these rather late), but I am having a similar issue with my notes. While trying to open a note from inside S Memo app, I am receiving a crash report ("The application S Memo (process com.sec.android.widgetapp.diotek.smemo) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.The application S Memo (process com.sec.android.widgetapp.diotek.smemo) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.").
This crash is not happening to all my notes. So I tried to see how are the notes that is crashing different from the other notes that is not crashing. In my case is the note date (written at the bottom of each note). The notes that when I am trying to open the application crashes have a creation date 01.01.1970 while the others are having the correct date.
This change in the creation date probably happened yesterday when I updated my phone to XXKL7.
PS. The notes are only crashing within the S Memo app. They are not crashing for example if I try to open them as a Widget that I have exported in the home screen.
I can't find a way to change the date, so I will try to export the notes and delete them.
I will keep you posted.

Thank you for the info on this issue. I love my Note, but sometimes I get the feeling that Samsung has been sending the Galaxy Note out to the marked without the proper testing beforehand. It looks as if your Note has a problem with handling to many notes at the same time, and since the note-handling is one of the phones major features, I really hope this is something Samsung fixes before they sending out the upcoming ICS-update.

Actually thank you for reminding me of this issue. I forgot to update this topic.
The thing is that the issue happened again a few days after i erased those memos. I called the store that sold me the device and asked to give it back to them. They said that one way or the other they will have to hand it over to samsung for them to see.
They advised i wait after the holidays to really get some decent feedback.
Thing is that ever since i called the store my note has been it's normal self again.
I suspect though that under heavy use it will do the same again, but i cannot determine what triggers those freezes.
I have got two years of waranty. After the first week where the store just replaces your device no questions asked i now have to abide by the standard procedure, so i keep a close eye on my note for any glitches, malfunctions and freezes.
Truth is that some part of me wants to forget this ever happened and not pursue the way to finding out what the problem is in fear that samsung will find some loophole out of their posteriors and not replace my device.
I will not push it but if the phone breaks down again i will have to send it to them.
Now if there is any of you who knows of any diagnostic tools for the Note i would greatly appreciate it.
btw i believe the same thing about samsung, their devices are poorly tested but their devices policy are open source in comparison to Apple and i like that. Sometimes i think that Apple is there just to piss off people and give it's competitors the edge with their overprotecting policy.

I have no clue what to make of your issue. I myself try to understand what is happening but you are the second person to report an issue with the S-Memo application.
At least your phone did not freeze and crash. That should be consoling.
My problem happened when i created a folder within the S-memo and stored some notes inside. It could be the folder or it could be the files but after the first crash and reboot the thumbnail of one of the notes had trouble showing up and instead was replaced by a blank thumbnail, as if the text inside had been erased(but when you browsed the note you found out that it wasn't).
I don't know if that helps but that all i can think of.
In my case it seems that the problem is more generic, but i have no clue where it originated.
As i said above if it happens again i will send it back to samsung. If it keeps happening to you i suggest you do the same. Don't let them sell you a 600-700euro device without making sure it works perfectly. Remember the making of the device cost wisely is ridiculously lower. It might even amount to something in the vicinity of 50 euros for the materials and the assembly altogether.
To sit back and accept a faulty device is making their pockets rich selling snake oil to the people.
Well, I tried to enter the folder that the S Memo keeps the notes but couldn't fix anything. Finally I sync them to my evernote account and did a factory reset.
I'll come back if I find anything useful. I think too, that Samsung doesn't thorough exam the updates.
Btw, I am not the second person to report such a problem but the forth. It's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362249 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347157 that I just found out.
I'd like more info on this problem also. I haven't had the S Memo app crash but I have noticed some odd behavior. Luckily I haven't written any important notes, just been fooling around to see how the app works. It seems like some notes mysteriously disappear and maybe reappear later or just are deleted and I've had notes duplicate themselves. I just thought it was something I was doing wrong since I wasn't really doing anything usefull with the app.
Now that I'm aware of the quirks, I'll pay closer attention to what I'm doing.
For anybody who was modifying/saving/deleting notes, were you doing it from the SD Card /Application/SMemo/cache and /Application/SMemo/switcher? Just curious... It seems like their file naming scheme is a lot to be desired with variations of the same memo being named strokeXX.png, thumbXX.png, prevXX.png, and a syncXX.png if you did a sync. The XX is incremented for every note created, but I've noticed when deleting an earlier note then creating a new one later, that numbering system can get out of allignment and weird things happen.
That's all my observations for now but I certainly won't be putting any really important information in a note.
MP
I have had the same crash problem with some new notes. They didn't have the faulty date that I saw after the update to KL7.
Fortunately, I am able to synch them and same the information they contain.
I'll check the files that you say and maybe we could figure out why is it happening.

Hi. Sad to say that imhaving this issue right now. I have only 4 memos with just doodles in them and some text none of which are working. All memos created and saved via the s memo shortcut cannot be reopened and causes the system crash. Widget memos seem to work ok but opening them via the smemo sshorctut causes crash as well.. I hope help comes soon...
Sad to report I have the same problem!

Would anyone be interested in finding the solutions to the problems below as a "job" and giving me a price for the solutions?
(1 - Data Roaming Nag)
Recently upgraded from HTC desire running 2.2 (I think?) to Razr I which is now running 4.12, before if I'd be abroad I'd simply get a text from my service provider about the rates, I always had data roaming enabled as it's a business phone and only €2 for the first 50mb which is more than enough for a days use. So I set the razr up in much the same way, albeit on 4.12 but I had data roaming enabled and when I first got connected to a foreign network it prompted me about data roaming, which I thought would be just a once off for the first time since I already had it enabled, I clicked yes to acknowledge it anyway and continue using data roaming which was fine, but then it seemed as soon as I dropped out of coverage and came back, the notification would come up again. It actually got so frequent that the notification was on my screen almost every time I unlocked the phone and it got pretty annoying.
Has anyone else experienced this and found out a way to disable the popup? I'm not sure if it's android or motorolla related?
(2 - Enable USB Mass storage)
I've seen mods of this but I don't think they are compatible with 4.12, if anyone has a solution or could edit the settings.apk to enable it and post it that would be great
(3 - Contact Sync Issue)
My contacts are not syncing properly. I've over 2,700 contacts as it's a business phone. I save all to my gmail account under different groups (my contacts/business/sport) and never had sync issues on my old desire but I'm having issues with this. When I check the account in settings, sync is fine for everything (calendar, gmail etc) but contacts and the last successful sync is days and days ago. The error just reads "Sync is currently experiencing problems, it will be back again shortly", which obviously isn't the case. I've tried "contact sync fix" app and although it works, I don't like using such a solution and would of course much rather it to just work as it's supposed to. Also I'm getting a "Sync - too many contacts deletions" notification sometimes that I'm not sure what to do with, when I click it it comes up saying "Deletion limit exceeded" and then says there are 8 deleted items for contacts account [email protected]. What do you want to do?" giving me the options: Delete the items - undo the deletes - do nothing for now. I don't know what to do so just choose "do nothing for now" contacts seem to be still intact but I'm very worried about losing any.
(4 - Space between numbers)
I'm not sure if this is a new thing with the newer androids, a dialler issue or what, but the phone is automatically adding gaps between numbers when I try and save. I've a lot of numbers and prefer to keep them all the same formatting, which is, for example, +353871234567, if somebody rings me, sometimes it comes up as +353871234567 which is grand, other times it might come up as 0871234567 so all I used to need to do was delete the 0 and add a +, now when I edit the number, spaces are automatically added and it shows up something like 087 123 4567. This used to only happen with landline numbers and then sometimes if you tried to delete say the space between 3 and 4, it would delete the space AND the 3!
I thought it was an issue with Go Contacts/Dialler EX but it's happening on EX Dialler too even though I've clicked off the area code setting, so I'm thinking it might be an android issue? Anyone managed to sort it out? I may have found something to do with it from Android Development, but I haven't a clue if that can be changed as a mod for a specific phone?

Thanks for letting me know. Do you think there will be a solution, ever?
I think I solved the contact sync issue, I chose the "undelete" option and then I noticed 8 new "my contacts" groups in gmail itself (from desktop) so I deleted them groups from gmail and I think it's ok now. I also sent Go contacts/dialer to system app (because of a missed call issue) so I'm not sure if this contributed, I also deleted the "contact sync fix" app. Hopefully the issue doesn't resurface.

Hi All,
I know this is a fairly new device, but I was super keen to get it specifically to put cyanogenmod 11 on. After having some trouble with the current version of TWRP posted in another thread here on XDA (which only worked when the phone was in an "out of the box" state, requiring me to do a factory reset due to a mini android update that was automatically applied between reboots - resolved), I got the stable channel release of CM11 which is listed as not having any issues, flashed it, and am having some issues.
The main problem I am experiencing is that regardless of which player I am using, if I open "Settings" from the status bar, whatever media I am playing goes silent. The player appears to still be playing, changing tracks, removing and reinserting headphones, clearing the playlist, re-opening the player...nothing fixes it. And then randomly some time later it will start making sound again if I leave the player running. Is there anyone else that can provide insight into this one? I have heard the problem is addressed for some in CM12, but that is not yet stable for our device.
Cheers.
I can confirm that you also lose system sounds, and that it applies even if you have no headphones plugged in and instead use the phone speaker. Total silence after accessing the settings from the statusbar. I have of course posted this on the Cyanogenmod system, but they have closed it pending a report dump which I cant produce till i am back at my android modding PC.
You have to remove the equaliser from quick settings. You can also use cm 12

Is this not a cyanogenmod 11 development issue? Happy for someone to shift it to Q&A if its not a development issue (I dont think I have that ability). Or are development threads only for posting finished products?
CONFIRMED: Problem is caused by equaliser quick settings tile
OK, so I can confirm that the problem is indeed the equaliser quicksettings tile/animation. So as described above there is a work around, and for anyone that needs to know the actual steps to disable the equaliser quicksettings tile please see below (it took me a while to work out as you cant just remove it with a drag/long press the way you can other tiles):
Go to settings>Notification Drawer>Quick Settings Panel>Dynamic Tiles
This is a list of the quicksettings tiles that pop up when triggered by a system event, disable the "Equalizer" (Sic) by unticking the checkbox and the bug goes away.
The equaliser continues to work, you just dont get the quicktile popping up and causing the bug.
Cyanogen Mod developers appear to have picked up the bug so maybe a fix coming to stable release soon?

The latest nightly release of CM11 now includes a fix for this bug. Official release channel still contains the bug, although it does not list it as a known issue for some reason. The next release M channel version should include the fix.
Calendar Not Working CM11
Next problem: trying to add anything to the calendar results in a user prompt that an account must be added first. I only have the cyanogenmod account linked to the phone, and that works fine for contacts. But in the calendar, if you select the cyanogenmod account, it tells you you can only have one account per phone. If instead you add an email address and set up say, work email, when you go back to the calendar it gives you the same prompt again. Does anyone know exactly what kind of account it requires to add, as nothing seems to work. Someone suggested to me to install the Google Calendar Sync component fro G-apps, however this would presumably share my calendar with google, which is precisely what I am trying to avoid by having cyanogenmod. Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

But in the calendar, if you select the cyanogenmod account, it tells you you can only have one account per phone. If instead you add an email address and set up say, work email, when you go back to the calendar it gives you the same prompt again. Does anyone know exactly what kind of account it requires to add, as nothing seems to work. Someone suggested to me to install the Google Calendar Sync component fro G-apps, however this would presumably share my calendar with google, which is precisely what I am trying to avoid by having cyanogenmod. Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

Download and Install the Offline Calendar App:
https://f-droid.org/...e.localcalendar
After that create an offline calendar in the Offline Calendar App
Then you can use the standard calendar app with the created offline calendar database.
No more need to sync anything with google...

Hi All,
I know this is a fairly new device, but I was super keen to get it specifically to put cyanogenmod 11 on. After having some trouble with the current version of TWRP posted in another thread here on XDA (which only worked when the phone was in an "out of the box" state, requiring me to do a factory reset due to a mini android update that was automatically applied between reboots - resolved), I got the stable channel release of CM11 which is listed as not having any issues, flashed it, and am having some issues.
The main problem I am experiencing is that regardless of which player I am using, if I open "Settings" from the status bar, whatever media I am playing goes silent. The player appears to still be playing, changing tracks, removing and reinserting headphones, clearing the playlist, re-opening the player...nothing fixes it. And then randomly some time later it will start making sound again if I leave the player running. Is there anyone else that can provide insight into this one? I have heard the problem is addressed for some in CM12, but that is not yet stable for our device.
Cheers.

The CM12 nightly release for our device appears to be stable and does not include this bug.
Fix Found, Request inclusion
