I can see how that would take a battery down. I monitor exchange accounts and my gmail account. I haven't had any issues with battery life due to Kaiten but I've never used push either. Actually, I've used betterbatterystats along with battery widget pro and my wakelocks are great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
Damn! Polling every 5 minutes? That's slot of battery usage. I thought I was bad with every 30 minutes. I use I-and wish there wad a way to turn polling off automatically during my sleeping hours. I guess I could set up something with tasker.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
Not out yet. Latest modem we have is fb21
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Quite a few modem updates lately, I wonder why they can't get it right? :eek:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
Get it right? They are doing their best to build the best stock ICS ROM/kernel/modem for our phone before releasing it as the final build. These are all betas and release candidates.

I guess you haven't been a beta tester before?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
LOL, hey Bugger slow down there fella. I didn't know the modems were betas. I see them coming out for the corresponding ICS builds just didn't know. I'm used to seeing the regular RTM modem releases I guess. When I've seen the latest 'FB' releases, it didn't state that they were RC's or Betas is what I meant too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
Not bagging on you. Just feeding you info. All of the builds we are seeing now are leaks. They include leaked modems, ROMs, and kernels. The FB27 you are referring to hasn't been leaked, yet. It's another candidate that we'll likely see. We are seeing a lot more of these leaks in the past months. My theory is that Samsung/Sprint actually wants these leaked and they watch the XDA community forums very closely to hear feedback. We are the very willing unofficial beta testers, as it were. Just my riff on the whole thing. You can quote me on this but, it's purely speculation on my part.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asbjörn:
Yep, this is pure speculation but I think you're absolutely right on this. The fact that these modems/builds aren't officially released implies beta status. And I also believe that it is Samsung/Sprint that is leaking them to the public.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
Anyone know what battery increment Calks rom uses?? Or of a good way to figure it out? Trying to use Rom toolbox to change the battery but Im not sure which ones I can use. I would assume because the battery percentage drops by 1's, its a 1 percent but that is kinda disappointing since there arent alot of 1 percent icons in RT. Thanks.

Im sure it was posted before but fb21 modem and el13 kernal is a winner this rom is flying super fast

How to I get CRT on/off?

I had it working in 2.8, but 2.9.1 doesn't have it? I searched and searched.

I know 2.8 had the flipped screen issue. Is that fixed?

Do I just flash another .zip?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bielinsk:
I have only ever just flashed the rom, I flashed 2.9.1 and now have the CRT off animation.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
Nevermind, I was thinking of the FB kernels.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Just being oversensitive I guess. That's a really good observation. I was googling E4GT ICS release date and I noticed a lot of sites are pointing back here. Not just other blogs but legitimate review and news sites as well. It's all very interesting.

Does anyone know if Calk is going to release a snazzed up ICS daily first or try to hold out for the RTM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dtm_stretch:
Yeah you are right it is the 1% increments.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
May as well toss my two cents in also.

I am running FB21 also and I now have 2 bars at home when I normally have none (EL29 modems and earlier). It used to go in and out of roaming and I would occasionally miss calls as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] srkmagnus:
Gentlemen,

I'm having problems updating to 9.1.2. Here is my current phone setup:

Modem: FB15

Kernal: 2.6.35.14-rogue_ET-1.4.1+

Build: V2.9.1

Hardware: D710.10

I've tried flashing 9.1.2 over the current build and it just sits at the first first Galaxy S2 screen. I know the first boot will always take longer than usual, but I'm talking about 10-minutes or longer. A battery pull and reboot does not solve it.

I've also wiped everything to no avail. Thinking the download was corrupted the ROM was re-downloaded from the original source and again from the mirror. No dice in getting it to boot.

Any thoughts? I used to be on ICS FB17 and was able to restore my current setup without a hitch. I don't think ICS is the culprit, but thought I'd share that bit of info. Also, I'm able to load 2.9 and upgrade to 2.9.1.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I know someone is going to ask so... Did you mean you're trying to upgrade from 2.9.1 to 2.9.2? Also, have you tried flashing a stock kernel instead of using Gunslinger in case there is some issue there as well?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] srkmagnus:
Sorry about that. I was able to install 2.9 then upgrade to 2.9.1 without a problem. I'm currently on 2.9.1, but can't install 2.9.2.

The problem occurs with the kernal that is included in 2.9.1 and gunslinger.

Edit: I'm trying to install the full ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Good luck, let us know how it goes. I haven't tried the 2.9.2 update over 2.9.1 yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] saj070:
Ok try using calk formatt first then flash the latest rom do not flash kernel or modem

reboot let it start up then go back into recovery and flash what ever kernel you want. or modem

i am on 2.9.2 - fb21 modem super fast 3g speed and good reception

still stuck in between EL29 - EL13 repalck rouge and 1.4.1 gunslinger

i am leaning towards EL13 1.1.2 repack form rougue but jury is out i usually like to test each kernekl for 1 week..

don;t forget after flash rom reset battery stats..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mr.BeBoT:
Just wanted to follow up, I've let the rom 'settle' and still getting bad bat life. I'll try FB21 as it seems like there have been positive comments since I first posted about my battery drop.

kdoggy, I too had the best batter life on 2.8.1 and EL29. If all else fails I'll just revert back to that setup untilk Calks ICS builds where I will inevitably break down and become a flashaholic again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CamelToeJoe:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xb0n3z:
Just wanted to throw it out there, I had the home screen edit lock problem again. I originally went from 2.9.1 to 2.9.2. When I go to move an app out of a folder and put it somewhere else, I can't exit edit mode.. No matter what I do, I have to reboot the phone in order to resolve the issue. Clearing the cache and delvik fixed the problem temporarily, but again tonight same issue occurred..

Going back to 2.8.1 as that seemed to work great as well as longer battery life.

Can't wait for the next release :)

***Interesting enough the problem occurred even after downgrading to 2.8.1*** so 2.9.2 may have broke something... Anyways I wiped ALL in recovery and went back to 2.9.2 and running Titaium to restore all apps and settings, hopefully that will take care of issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skandranon314:
Sounds like a bad download. I would redownload and try again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] srkmagnus:
I've downloaded twice from the source and once from the mirror. Same result all three times. I'll try again later and see what happens. Thanks everyone for the insight.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iivisionii:
I just updated to 2.92 and alls well so far. Is there any way to turn off the CRT off animation though?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crypt0kiddie:
Hey quick question. Why is it when I format my whole phone, I still have my custom boot animation?

I've used both Rouge recovery and Calk's wipe all utility.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neverblink:
flash Calkulin's_Enable_Rotation_Animation_for_E4GT_v2.*,

2. When I do a Voice Search it never works. Keeps coming back with error try again.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I see this a lot if I have poor signal. Most of the voice search engines depend on internet access. For instance, if I'm on wifi, I get 100% results (even though they may not all be correct :) )

QFFT..

Unless a dev specifically says NOT TO wipe cache and dalvik, you should always do at least that whenever you flash any zip of any sort on top of an existing installation...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
*Regarding browser lag (overall lag) I believe it has to do with framework.jar that was part of the update, I went ahead and extracted the one from V1.0 and replaced it. I also replaced the init.d from V1.0 to be safe. Browser works great now, and phone is fluid again. Most likely an oversight.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Will of fire:
I flashed the update over 1. 0 and I was stuck on the Samsung Galaxy screen for 5 minutes and nothing. Yes I formated all zip. And dalvik and cache. Any help?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] srgwidowmaker:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] srgwidowmaker:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smccall:
I will try this thanks because I can't even scroll through my browser it loads fast as hell lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paranoid android85:
format all zip is for when you jump from rom to rom or a complete rom update where you have to do a factory wipe. if its just an update zip then just wipe cach then dalvik cache. you probably have to flash the whole rom again not just the update
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vegasden:
If you flashed the format all you erased 1.0. You'll have to flash the entire rom now.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
I'm guessing no one here pays attention to the flash notes as it's flashing the ROM because the install wipes all temp files needed, so wiping cache/dalvik afterwards is unnecessary
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
Still uploading but it should be done in the next couple of mins
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
The script runs at initial boot, so if you seeing those speeds being used even after clearing the log in CPUspy, that means the script is either messed up from modding or not running at all because of a incompatible kernel

Bug: on 2.9.1 when downloading something in stock browser and going to downloads I get FC. Awesome rom
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crypt0kiddie:
Well, I gave all of the 2.9x ROM's a shot and I just couldn't figure out why my battery took such a performance dive. I take my phone off the charger about 6am, and by 5pm I'm lucky to have 15% battery left.

I flashed back to 2.8.1, still using Rouge's 1.4.1 Kernel (lastnight) and again, I took my phone off the charger at 6am this morning, it's 5:20pm now and I'm at 72% battery.

I'm an IT Admin so I'm On my phone a LOT during the average business day. I've made a dozen or more calls today, I've used my browser and I remoted into a server via RDP, hell I'm sitting here listing to PowerAmp right now.

Calk's 2.8.1 + Rouges 1.4.1 has provided truly AMAZING battery life. I'm seeing 24~32 hours easy.

I know some other people comments on a huge battery hit using 2.9.x, did anyone find a fix? Really I'm in no rush to try 2.9.2 again, hell I don't even care about ICS right now!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
You know, I'm haven't seen a lot of luck with battery life either and I could barely make it through the day; but I use my PHONE too. I spend average 2 hrs every day on the phone. The friggin display stats that people show being on for 4 hrs don't impress me, show me a good battery life where you can actually talk on the phone and get decent battery life too! That's the true test.

Try this out: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1312273

It's a way to calibrate the battery and basically says

1. Shut the phone off and charge it 100%

2. Remove the battery before turning it on, leave it out for at least 3 minutes, reinsert the battery and turn it on.

3. (Something I also do) Let the phone settle in for a few minutes, then plug it back in until its fully charged again.

This worked for me to calibrate the battery and I now can run an entire day, overnight too and then some (but what's the point I want a fully charged phone when I leave for work in the morning) and it works great.

Let your phone run through at least a couple of charge cycles so it can settle in too.

I've been seeing a lot of opinions about calibrating battery. This one works for me.

ICS Keyboard disappearing?

A million apologies if this is a repost, but I did my best to search and skim through this never ending thread (940 pages so far, its great to see that!). I've been having trouble with the ICS keyboard, it seems to randomly go black and show only the blue punctuation marks on the top row. It seems to do it more often when I rotate the phone with the keyboard up, but sometimes it just disappears mid-typing. I hate swype with a passion but I ran it for a day to see if it did anything similar and it did not. I also ran the Sammy keyboard for a day and it didn't do anything like the ICS keyboard. Other than that, this ROM is awesome! I know there's a newer one out but I've stuck with 2.8.2 simply because I get at least double the battery life out of it as opposed to the newer versions. Many thanks for this ROM either way :P

Edit: I should have added a picture. The screenshot I just took actually didn't show even the punctuation marks; just black void where my keyboard should be!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skandranon314:
Will this make you lose your recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_hubbard:
Not sure what your setup is right now. Long story short, you need to be on a GB-based ROM w/ a CWM-based recovery. If you're on an ICS ROM right now, odin back to GB (do NOT flash/nandroid back to GB).

There's an entire thread dedicated to how NOT to do it in the General section...look for the How I bricked My Phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
I flashed it from Stock FB27. It worked fine, aside from having some issues with Launcher Pro widgets causing LP to FC. I nandroid restored to my 2.9.2 setup with no worries. I'm sorry you had troubles.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jackka:
me too. I tried the rogue gunslinger 1.4.1 kernel with calk's 2.8.1 and got jittery home screen lag every time.

Installing SetCPU gets rid of the stutter, but I don't want to install it and am still looking for a solution. for now, i'm just using the rogue stock repacked kernel, which doesn't give me any homescreen lag
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_hubbard:
Ahhh....I didn't actually brick my phone, the thread is called that (or something close). Glad your flashing worked. I'm not sure Federico has updated LPP for ICS yet, that may have been the cause of your FC's too.

Running the beta. All good! No noticeable bugs. Did mobile Odin with rogues newest kernel packed with cwm aftwr flashing rom via cwm on a dif custom ics rom. Used cwm to flash fb27 modem.

Things I dont like not only in calks beta:

keyboard seems buggy..password fields n such ( ics keyboard from market)

Launchers both seem buggy (twlauncher n nova launched) things such as Widgets and screens. I dunno. Maybe just me..go launcher is perfect.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_hubbard:
Everyone,

BE CAREFUL using Calk's ICS rom w/ the CWM repacked FBxx kernels. While it hasn't been pinned down exactly yet, a LARGE NUMBER of bricked phones has been happening, and it seems the most common denominator is using CWM kernels on ICS roms. Likely has to do w/ the /data partition moving to a slightly different location in ICS and using CWM to flash/wipe causes a bricked phone.

If you have to make a change and you're running an ICS rom, odin back to stock/rooted/cwm EL29 and then do whatever change you need to do. Not saying that you will or won't have problems but be careful. Too many bricked phones (including some devs who are likely more careful than the rest of us).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
You know, I have been hanging back on the ICS leaks until now. I came from a Gingerbread ROM with Chris EL26,CWM repack and just flashed Calkulin format all then the ROM so it was a piece of cake for me

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asbjörn:
That's the way I have been feeling but my appetite is growing for an ics leak. I'm going to try it your way John...format all then install. But in regards to reverting back to GB, I would have to Odin stock EL29...then restore my GB nandroid? Is that correct?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
You would Odin back to stock then Odin a kernel with recovery, format all and restore nandroid... fairly easy
