[Q] GPS navigation with screen off on CM9 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm on CM9 nighly 20120729 and XXLPH and want to navigate on my motorcycle only by audio, using latest CoPilot.
However when I turn my screen off, navigation stops working.
Losing the GPS fix is not a problem. I am not running any battery savers or custom kernel.
Thanks in advance!

I installed cm 7.2 to see if this would resolve the issue, but to no avail. Is it then save to assume that it is something on device or application level?

Wifi not toggling on?

Anyone else having issues with the wifi toggle button on the notification bar?
It works fine to turn wifi off, but keeps erroring out when I try to turn it on. This regardless of whether I turned it off from the bar or via Tasker widget.
I wonder if this is related to the GPS toggle bug.

ROM, Radio, and Kernel?
i used to have this too.. that was with stock ebo1.. then i went to superclean, it disapeared, then superclean 2.9.1 it came back, and with 2.9.2 it appears to be gone again.. weird.
Im on sc 2.9.2 and i have the same issue. I just reboot the phone reboot the phone and it works. Or i just use the main settings to turn it on and off

FWIW I'm on SC2.9.2 (modded), imnuts -50, and EB01 modem... But I think it's something in the basic Froyo framework. The GPS issue is, I believe, across ROMS.
Fixing permissions seems to have corrected it. I'll update my mod post.
I have the same issue, with the debloated/deodexed froyo and the EC10 kernel (and had it prior to EC10).
Are you saying you never see the problem enabling from in the menus? The log output shows it's failing when it attempts to load the driver, so I wouldn't think it would matter how it was toggled?
Very annoying. I started a thread on this as well a few weeks ago:

Compass quit working

My compass and GPS have always worked with the different ROMs and kernels I've tried. I was running MIUIWiz and I think the compass has worked since I flashed it but now my compass has quit working. It'll show on the screen but will not spin to show direction. I tried all the settings with no luck. I flashed ComRom with OTB kernel thinking it was maybe something with that but still no luck. We do alot of hiking and I would love for the compass to work. The GPS works great just no compass. Any suggestions or recommendations? Thanks
An interesting thing is that I also lost auto-rotation of the screen. Even if auto-rotate is on it still won't rotate on any screen with any app. I've been using Go Launcher but tried others and still won't work. I don't know if compass sensors and sensors that activate auto rotate if related but neither work. Any suggestions?
They are different sensors.
Try downloading GPS Status and calibrating your compass (under the tools menu). If that doesn't work, try downloading a metal detector app and see if you get any response. If you're getting no reading at all, then it may be a hardware failure. If the reading is there but off, it may be a calibration issue.
A temporary revert to stock EB01 fixed this issue for me, see:

If you're having rotate problems, with adb or root explorer, delete m3c_sensor.cfg I think from /data/system and then toggle auto rotate. That should fix your problems.

[Q] GPS problem - Jikantaru ROM

Hi, i'm trying to fix this case for few days.
There's Jikantaru XE ROM on my WS - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1314430.
Everything works perfectly except GPS.
There is no any icon on notification bar. Of course iGo or Google Navigation is working.
I tried to turn on the GPS with settings=>location=>use GPS.. and with shortcut in notification bar. No response.
I installed GPSFix and after 15min fixing there's no response as well.
Anyone knows what's wrong?
I think updating recovery solved the problem.
Is it possible?

[Q] aokp/cm (4.1.2) stability?

Hello
I appreciate both the CM and AOKP roms built on 4.1.2 are no longer being supported but is anyone running these roms as daily drivers and can confirm their stability?
Over the last month I have tried both roms and found them great roms with no audio (speaker) issues which keeps me from using the 4.2 builds of these roms.
Unfortunately I am finding my phone occasionally will not turn back on when the phone has gone into sleep. When this happens the capacitive buttons at the bottom are illuminated in red but the phone will not turn on at all. I am forced to hold down the power button so that the phone reboots.
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
For both CM and AOKP I just use the kernel within the rom zip. Perhaps I should use the latest Maxwen kernel?

[Q] [RR-LP] Flashlight turning off when screen locked

Hi everyone!
I just updated my Galaxy S2 I9100 from CyanogenMod 11 to Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.0 (and I am using the stock kernel). Almost everything works fine but now when I turn the flashlight on and then lock the screen, it automatically turns off the light after a couple seconds.
So I assume that something linked with the custom ROM or Android 5.1.1 makes the phone quickly turn into a state where the LED must be off. But this bug is quite annoying and I would like to be able to use the flashlight also with the screen off. Any idea of what would cause this issue and how to solve it?
Thanks!

This is a bug that has been reported before. The only solution I know of is to install a different flashlight app from the market

Ok thank you then! Still, does anybody know what causes the bug? I did not actually find a thread where this is mentioned.
