How is everyone getting such amazing battery life? One user went an entire day and only went down to 75 percent life.

I flashed the rom, used it till it died, calibrated. Not getting anything remotely as good.

Took out battery after charging to 100, waited a few minutes, put it back in and powered on. Still not as good.

I just flashed the ROM. Didn't change radios, use any scripts or flash the UV.

Is that why my phone isn't as good in battery life?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
25% usage over an entire day is a light day. I undervolt and see 28-34 hours with about 6 hours display

Could be apps you have installed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mtran2988:
What do you mean by 5 icon touchwiz? Are you talking about the bottom static bar? because if you go into the app drawer and click menu->edit.. you can edit everything in the bottom bar except for the app drawer icon.

Let me know if this is what you're trying to do (I dont use touchwiz, I use GoLauncher because the app drawer on the right bothers me for some strange reason)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alamn8r:
ever since i downloaded this rom, i have not been able to play any videos at all. :( i love this rom and i don't want to go to another one. so i was wondering if anyone knew a fix to this ? :/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
When I was testing 3 ROMs a week on the OG Epic it was a must have. I cant restore anything on a ROM I am testing because you can't tell if a problem is ROM related or corrupt/incompatible data causing the problem. IMO, its better to put aside an hour or so to do a clean install. It will save you headaches down the road. There have been times I would restore a few things then suddenly something random like camera wouldn't work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ervman1:
Has anyone had any device memory problems? It keeps saying most of the 1.9 gb of device memory has been used up..i barely restored any apps. this has happened twice from fresh installs
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Not me, I got a bunch of apps installed and still only used like 550MB
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pdiddyfan:
I had this same problem. Was only having like 700mb left. I know it sounds funny, but I flashed the stock kernel pulled from a non rooted phone. I removed the triangle from my phone using odin and it seemed to fix it somehow. The link is somewhere on the site. All is well again...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jonnyisback:
Flashed this rom over top of stock + CWM, working great, no LOS as of yet, running like butter, only thing i would like would be a way to add lock mod but keep the stock fonts and the wifi hotspot hack. Keep up the good work :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazyflipj:
Weird thing happened to me today. I was running this rom and Los checker 2.1. I checked my phone and it was off and I couldn't power it on. I pulled battery and I couldn't get past the galaxy II screen. I ended up restoring a nand backup. Anyone else experience this?

Anyone know if the VR superwipe will work? I always used it on my OG Evo and it was fine, it's for CWM so it should be ok, no?

200, 400, 500

When I have this ROM installed I no longer have 400mhz in my setcpu settings, I actually use Android Overclock and it works great for me. lowest is 200 then next step is 500.. My phone will not wake up when it goes down to 200. Before this rom I swore I had like 275, 400 and others all the way to 1600. How do I get the 275 or 400 back. I currently only have 200, 500, 800, 1000, 1200, 1400 and 1600. I used to have about 3-4 more.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pdiddyfan:
This had happened to me, but when I woke up my phone had already restarted, but had a black screen once I removed the lockscreen. I believe it may be LOS checker. I actually flashed the -75 undervolt zip that was posted earlier and it's running flawlessly again.

I just found out another one of my problems, Juice Defender. Had to uninstall it. Never should have used it anyway since I have great battery life. SMH. I'm still waiting for the phone to power itself off. I wiped the stats yesterday at 8pm and it's still going. LOL Great job Calkulin...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Radical-J:
Well, I've wiped everything and even went back to a stock w/root and wiped but Record My Call keeps FC'ng everytime even DL stright from Market...

Any ideas? Love the ROM but can't seem to make it run what I need...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lilmikeyv:
Sorry...read through a lot of the pages and tried a search but found no answer...from reading op I assume its already undervolted 50 from first flash and does the battery saver script run automatically? I went in with scoot manager where the op said the scripts were but wasn't sure what to do from there...sorry if this has been answered...I missed it if it was...any explanation or clarification is greatly appreciated. And a great thank you to Calk...this is a great rom!

Is there a way to get the lockscreen mod on 2.7?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
Not yet. Just gotta wait and hope maddoggin will do it for us.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] srkmagnus:
Check apps and make sure they are not frequently updating in the background. Also, use WiFi when available and stay off 4G data of you want to conserve battery life.

Also keep in mind that everyone's interpretation of moderate to heavy use is different. So it really depends on how you use the device..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikesal57:
LOVE this ROM...

I've been wanting to ask this for a while and kept forgetting...

What is the best screen capture program for our phone....

FREE of course...:)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
Press home and power key. It's built in the phone.

Wow ^ beat me to it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3taman:
I giggle at the posts that say they are getting amazing battery life. If you use your phone for phone calls only, turn the screen on for a max of 5 minutes every 6 hours, or use it as a paper weight....you will get the battery life being posted.

Show the awake time and screen on time along with the hour usage, then I will believe the awesome battery life. I need to see blue, not lots of black. Also, if I'm not seeing any apps listed, you aren't using your phone.

If I make calls only, I'm having a dumb phone and if I'm not using the apps, I'm having a dumb phone. I don't buy an expensive smart phone and pay a boatload for service to not use it, but that's just me. :D

Waiting patiently for the complete update for 2.7 :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] N00dle:
You shut your mouth. I get like a week and a half on one charge using my phone for constant Netflix and Pandora streaming at the same time all while making a 6 hour 3 way call. ;)

a week and a half??? WOW

cau you show me what applications should be running so that I can compare to mine?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick4mitch:
This +1000 ... I don't buy into those reports either, it's BS when people say they get 1 day with moderate use ... that's called not using your phone at all. It's a smartphone and its meant to be used like one :)

P.S. And n00dle is full of ****.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jxb25:
Yea I use my phone constantly either texting turning on my 4g or my 3g and also turning it off when I'm not using it and the most I can get is maybe 10 or 12 hours of battery life and I'm a heavy user so I can't possibly see how everyone is getting more than a day use but hmmm maybe its just my phone that can only last 10 hours

Sent from my mistress
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] N00dle:
Yes. Yes I am. I generally get 15 or 16 hours on a charge with my personal usage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clamknuckle:
Such an ignorant argument. So if I have an SUV I should have 6-7 people in it at all times? No.

I have a smartphone so I can do the things I need and want to do with it. Doesn't mean there aren't some days that I hardly touch it and I get through the day at 80%.

Some of us work, and can't spend all day on our smartphones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick4mitch:
I'm sure it can go a couple days on one charge with airplane mode on, no doubt. I belive if your battery lasts a good 8-10 hours by using it then you should be good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
Actually, with the stock el13 kernel, calk's cpu and battery scripts, i have gotten 24 hours of use a couple of times. This includes 4 hours of screen on time. The difference for me is probably the apps i use when the screen is on. I don't play a lot of cpu intensive games, although that may change now that i discovered super stickman golf lol. I think the removal of ciq by Samsung has made a noticeable difference in idle battery usage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffix31:
Can we please stay on topic? Someone should start a I want to complain about battery life thread and leave it out of the development thread for this amazing rom. Theres are modem threads to talk about modems, and tutorials to learn about flashing. So many posts in this thread do not belong here and just make it hard to follow and stay up on. I'm sorry this is just crazy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Flashed 2.7. On a full EL26 setup now. Running it like stock with launcher2 and AIO Mods and everything is running like a champ. Its extremely smooth and responsive.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] N00dle:
I think the point being made was you can't count that once in a while time you get through the day with 80% left as your typical usage.

i think people just don't know how to use it. anyone see the AOS bug come back after flashing 2.7? currently running 2.7 and desperado.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
If you see higher AOS, its because Chris's kernel is baked in rather than Rogue. Its still up for debate whether its fixed or masked on Rogue but you will see similar battery life
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffix31:
I really hope thats not the case. How can you even think about flashing your phone if you can't figure out how to read a forum and user a search function. I mean even google will give you answers linked to these forums.

Well it is a little difficult to search for a term like 2.7 when it keeps coming up so frequently.

Thats what I'm saying. If there wasnt 5 pages of off topic posts finding 2.7 would be easy
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patach:
I've had Calkulin's up for a little over a week, I've calibrated my battery twice, and the battery is no where near what I'm hearing from other users about their 16 hr. heavy usage or 36 hrs with 6 hours of screen time.

The first 10 percent of my battery is sucked out within an hour by Cell standby, but flounders around the high 80s until I use any kind of screen time.

On-Screen use I'm seeing a percentage deplete every 2-3 minutes. Within a couple hours, the phone is pretty much dead based on the on-screen.

What am I doing wrong? This phone can't even handle medium use for 24 hours, let alone any kind of heavy use.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3taman:
I didn't say it wasn't possible sometimes. But that's not going to happen with normal day use. I've had experience with 7 different android phones across multiple manufacturers.

Agreed. :p

I think the screen showing Awake and Screen On time more accurately show how much your using your phone.

Search Calkulin's posts for the unofficial release? He said he would update the first post when he had the kernel/recovery updated with Rogue recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Riptide9:
I understand from my own theme threads in the past how the post can pile up fast and topics can get side tracked... That being said, I don't think that battery life dicussion is "off topic" when there are so many different combinations of kernels and apps that can change the battery life drastically. One of the main reasons people use custom roms is to gain better performance and increase battery life. Look at the title of this thread itself and notice that Calkulin makes it a point to mention "Battery Saver".

My two cents :rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JimSmith94:
I just tried to download the preview version of 2.7 and got a bad link for both the full and the bare versions. Hopefully this means that Calkulin pulled them in preparation for uploading the final versions. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] N00dle:
Exactly ^^
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffix31:
OK ill give you that. But comparing battery life really is silly as every person is different. their set up their usage their signal their downloads kernels modems everything. Someone start a battery thread for that with specifics of their set up. Its crazy to discuss in this roms set thread
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kasper19:
I actually flashed desperado back over. Had 70% aos over 8 hours (I was sleeping) and the battery drained 30%. So, something odd going on, maybe I need to restore my nandroid. Hmm
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] androtn:
I would LOVE to get 10-12 hrs !
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I am curious about cell standby myself. I had that when I tried the EK02 version and it scared me away. It didn't crush my battery but on Wifi and idle while sleeping, I would wake up and cell standby was at the top. Any thoughts on this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carhauler1969:
New to the E4GT EK02, flashed this ROM & now have no signal at all. Never had LoS problems on the stock ROM & kernel. Not sure if I needed to but I flashed the EL26 modem trying to fix the signal after updating profile & PRL, updated profile & PRL after the modem flash as well, still nothing. I usually have excellent signal here at home with a Sprint tower less than a mile from my house. Any one know how I can fix this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AndroidSPCS:
hmm the links to 2.7 posted on page 573 are now invalid. Waiting for official 2.7 release. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Probably means something new is close. He did say he was going to bake in Rogue stock EL26 when it was done
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jirafabo:
Sorry to ask but I've been out of the flashing game for a few months as I had a nice setup on my phone and was happy with it. I'm looking to try something new now and it seems this is the best ROM at the moment.

I'm going to do a clean wipe/format first, then I can just flash the E4GT 2.6 rom and then the EL26 modem and that's it correct? I'll be set for kernel and modem and I'll be rooted? Thanks in advance and look forward to trying out your ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vMAC:
That is correct the ROM includes the kernel. You also don't have to flash a new modem if you your existing modem is working perfectly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ssconceptz:
OK so for anyone with 2.7 and the media scanner getting stuck, I found a fix.

Go to applications > manage applications > all and find media storage and force stop and clear data. Reboot and your good to go. I formatted my card but had nothing to do with it.

Can someone tell me what apk or folder I need to reflash from the stock build to get the "Helvetica S" font back in Settings>Display>Screen Display>Font Style? Its been removed in this ROM.

First check to ensure data is checked in settings. Next toggle airplane mode and or reboot a couple times. Still not fixed, hit the toolkit link in my signature. Make sure you aren't roaming then do the hands free reset.

While everyone is waiting and constantly refreshing their bowser, let me ask this question: can someone clarify the tegrak undervolt reference in the features section? Do i need to download the app from the market in order to use it? What i need here is a plain english explaination as i cant decipher the short explanation in the first post...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Basically, if you want to overclock past 1.452 or undervolt, you need the $2 Tegrak Ultimate version. Both versions are in the Market. The new version has a different kernel so Calkulin can't bake in his undervolt scripts. (Fixed..thanks Calkulin!)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asteetva:
I could download

I was able to download and now its dead again is any upgraded version being uploaded?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] basketthis:
Cool! Or we can use the attached undervolt zips? And, im guessing the advantage to undervolting is battery life....? Anyone personally experience any gains from this? And in the same respect, has anyone noticed any issues while undervolted?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Absolutely. The theory behind undervolt and underclock is that the phone isn't using as much power therefore less battery is consumed. We can get away with it on this phone because even if you scale it back, the performance is still amazing. Edit...you will want to start with the smallest amount of undervolt and test thoroughly. All phones react a little different. Don't set it to run on boot until thoroughly tested or you will possibly have to Odin if it freezes
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 4redstars:
Thank you for removing the crt animation, was giving me fits!

Formerly Tuffgong4 on xda
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mizex:
May I ask what sort of issues you were having with the CRT animation? I don't think I ever noticed my phone act up with it... Not sure if it is something I never noticed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
No CRT and Chris's stock repack with ACS Recovery sounds like a winning combination to me. I am going to have to try this build out. The combination of CRT and rotation animation has been giving people the inverted screen. Sometimes it can be replicated by locking screen in landscape mode
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mizex:
Looks like download link is up again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
The battery saver script works on the stock kernel, it's the undervolting scripts that don't work, that's why I included Tegrak profiles
