I've been running "stock" rc2.0 since the day or two after it was posted. I am geting 18 hrs battery on moderate use. I don't mess with oc or the like. No reboots freezes or any problems whatsoever. I've never been so happy with a custom rom, everything just works well.

I did have Enhanced Email installed for awhile and that burned my battery with partial wakelocks. Been great since I removed it.

Thanks for the great rom.

Is anyone running the ICS theme? My phone has been acting weird in a bad way wondering if the 10 lock mod ICS theme could be the cause.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
I would venture out to say most likely.

Same situation here. Stock rc2.0. 18+ hrs battery life. No oc or uv. Samurai 1.2.1. Dunno when I got that...just what's on there. Works great for me though. ZERO problems that I can recall.
[Epic 4G Android Development] wizzlewizzle:
I'm running the same 2.0, samurai 1.2.1, except the ONLY problem I have is sometimes when I'm typing the fn key behaves like I'm constantly holding it down even though its not pressed. So when I type it takes me to the fn shortcut. So for instance, when I hit the letter 'g' google search will load. I'm wondering if anyone else I having this issue and if you have any solutions. My current crap ass fix is to do a battery pull, so that sucks..any suggestions are appreciated.

I'm running rc2.1 and the kernel I have is 2.01. I thought I wiped before reflashing?

What kernel version does rc2.1 have? I'd be more than happy to downgrade if its more stable
[Epic 4G Android Development] esuuuu09:
What is it doing? I'm running RC2.1 with Samurai kernal 2.0.6 (debating about jumping to 3.0 right now) with the ICS lock mod theme 2.0. No OC or UV

Here's the problems that I've had:

Google Maps takes awhile to boot

GPS takes a while to lock (using gps status too)

there are times when the phone is very sluggish, but after a second or two, it kicks back to normal smoothness. This usually happens when I get a text notification from go sms pro or just turn it on.

I'm currently using the puzzle lock and it acts up once in a blue moon. It isn't correctly sized for landscape.

Network connectivity sometimes has to reset itself (not due to my location, never had a problem)

Random Reboots maybe once or twice a week.

I'm thinking it might have something to do with the 10 lock and/or the samurai kernal itself. Will jump to 3.0 when more info is out or if i just can't resist anymore (more than likely)

Oh and I get about 18hrs battery life i believe. lasts about a day with moderate use. Drops about 1.5%/hr during nighttime when i'm not using it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Pibe38:
From other users's reports, the last few versions of the Samurai kernel were causing lag to some people... Myself included.

However, earthbound has just released version 3.0 which he rebased. So you may want to give that a shot.

If not, you can try the ShadowKernel. I am currently using it and it's working ok. Although the real test will be today.

There are also reports that themes or ROMs using the 10-lock mod are not necessarily stable. In fact, the developers of this ROM have mentioned once or twice that while they may post it as an add-on, they are not convinced to include it as part of the ROM itself.

@esuuuu09: I experienced the same you did with sluggishness.

The network connectivity resets on me also randomly, never noticed it before. EI22 modem. I flashed the ICS theme 2.0 epic lock only (no 10 lock or status bar mod) to see if it helps.

I just wiped data and reflashed to see if it would help.

As for the wakelock thing, prettty sure that's the kernel I was seeing that too. I also changed my min speed to 400 MHz (vs 100 MHz)

I think I am going to reodin later today and reflash and report back.

help with battery drain

I would appreciate it if someone would help me figure out a battery drain issue. I am on legendary 2.0, with the shadow kernal (had samurai 2.8, but it was draining battery even faster).

I am losing about 10% an hour. I use my phone mostly for exchange server push email, and when I used bonsai 4.0 back in the day, it would only burn about 4% per hour.

I have voltage set on noop and conservative. I used bloat free to freeze drm services. After 5 hour 45 min, I am at 50%. Betterbattery stats shows that email caused 15 min of partial lock wakeups, voicemail 1 minute, and everything else less than 1 minute. Process shows 26 seconds for suspend, and nothing else over 1 second.

I use advanced auto kill to close programs. If I kill everything before hitting the snooze button, the following programs seem to be open processes when I turn it back on:

phone

voicemail

messaging

email

advanced task manager

superuser

clock

maps

Are those programs supposed to go back in memory by themselves while in suspend mode? Could those processes be draining my battery?

Any thoughts/suggestions on helping me with battery life would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!!

Which battery calibration method did you use? I'm interested in trying it out, as there are umpteen million variants =]
[Epic 4G Android Development] finster869:
Sorry, should have noted that. Yes, I recalibrated via the wiping battery stats in clockwork, and also using the battery calibrator app. Same result both ways.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
And dump Advanced Task Killer for Memory Booster Lite. Freeze Maps. It will keep loading itself otherwise. Freeze Talk and Google + if you have them. Increase the time mail syncs and make sure your 3G is good. If you have no 3G during a sync your battery will drain fast.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Thanks Hoff. It acts like it is always looking for an open network even though that box is unchecked. Maybe something is broken there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
If it helps, I've had this problem clear back since the EB Froyo builds.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
Advanced auto kill is a waste of battery to me... the constant battle between running and stopping. But that's my opinion.

Secondly... Some processes (Email) especially if you use exchange push will start back up... It's more a listener for the push than anything, though.

As far as anything else goes... kernels devs are all busy right now... Not always sure the goals are aimed at fixing the bigger issues sometimes... But they're busy, none the less. And i'm sure that if battery is brought up in the actual kernel threads enough, something will be done about it.

I haven't edited or modified enough of this system to cause most of the battery issues i'm seeing... If the original ROM were flashed fresh, there should be no issues with battery... That's one of my main goals here.

Anywho, the battery talk is getting a little old, so i probably won't be answering these anymore, or atleast until i see something other than the ROM being to blame. =)
[Epic 4G Android Development] A_Flying_Fox:
I'm running this with shadow kernel and my battery is afuckingmazing compared to the kernel that was included.

I have the regular UV that was enabled by default in the kernel plus OC to 1.2 no UV min 100 max 1.2 ondemand governor

I also leave 4g on with roaming on verizon since I get no sprint service in my apartment with data services off.

Fell asleep around 2 with 48% woke up around 8 looked at my phone read some news and fell back asleep woke up at 1 and my battery was at 44 LOL

Idk maybe its reading it wrong but cpu spy says it went into deep sleep appropriately and everything. I also don't gimp on my syncing (cept for the default email app is set to never because the email address in there is a once in a blue moon one) everything else is push (cept I don't gots exchange set up...maybe that's the battery hog?)

I'm also running a theme...idr which one right now but maybe that helps a little too.

[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
You can try a reflash but it may be something else. It needs to be on the Sprint network so it needs to turn off wifi, then it needs to start out on 3G. Are you roaming or not have 3G? Did you delete any system files? Sometimes the modem clear Noobnl posted with reactiviation fixes this...sometimes.

people with battery issues

I read a post where someone said that their usb debugging was hanging and causing their battery to drain. They cured it by always rebooting after connecting to the computer via usb. I tried it, and my battery life has seemed to have gone way up.

I am now at 11 hours 30 minutes and 52% on moderate use, which is a vast improvement since two days ago I was at zero by that time.

I still have something strange from betterbattery stats. My "awake" time is 3 hours 9 minutes, while my screen on time is just 24 minutes. Any idea what is keeping my phone awake and how to stop it? I saw an earlier post suggesting it was mmc_delayed_work doing it. I am showing kernal wake locks of 2 hours 2 minutes for that, so maybe it is the culprit?

Any suggestions??????
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
It's no big deal. It goes through hands-free activation just fine. For some reason 3 days later I went to make a call and it was redirected to Sprint and they apologized for the inconvenience, spent 30 seconds to refresh my phone and told me to make a call and stay on at least 30 seconds to properly handshake with the network.
[Epic 4G Android Development] intulsa:
Don't know if it'll help but I dropped my wakelocks and especially the mmc_delayed_work from 83% to 0.3% just by killing the auto updating widgets on my home screen and pulling the apps that do update off of the sd card and back to the phone. I don't know if it was one specific widget or app as I pulled them all and will probably add them back one by one and see if it was just one or the combination of them all that was doing it.

Just update it manually in cdma workshop. Takes 2 minutes and works every time. Instructions are in the android development section somewhere... I have my Epic "flashed" onto boost so this is the only way I can update my PRLs.

Edit: here is the thread with the instructions on manually updating. This method also allows Sprint users to load the Sprint business PRLs which lets the phone do 3G data roaming on VZW towers instead of 1x so if your 3G is sucking you can just force roam onto Verizon towers and use up to 300mb a month. This is also a good way to get out of a contract with no ETF if you go over said 300mb repeatedly...

Just a heads up. If you are running the go launcher with themes on this rom the reason it may be starting up slow is because the go themes need to be on the internal storage. If you move them to sd it will take a long long time for your phone to boot all the way.

JUST FIX THOSE DARN BUTTNS Reply

All righty, it's 2 Bunny again, and I've flashed the two new updates that they released (finally). Here's what went down:

I started out by doing a SMS Backup and Titanium Pro full backup followed by a nandroid backup in case of problems. I didn't reset or anything, I just installed the updates. The ROMs erased most of my stuff anyway, so I got to use my backup. Don't forget to backup, people! :p

Anyway, to follow up my previous message about the "good and the bad", let's do that again:

The Good:

Liking the new startup animation. The other one was nice, but the ROM booted too quickly to see the whole thing, so this one works better.

Camera is finally shut up: Don't get me wrong, the autofocus tone is a useful tool so you can know when the camera is focused, but it was 100 times too loud to be more useful than it was annoying, so the "shut up" camera is a real blessing.

Unecessary programs removed: The mostly useless "diary" and "tasks" are thankfully no longer taking up space in this ROM - woohoo!

Battery indicator: No longer turns the screen on in the middle of the night to tell you that the battery is full - plus you get a better graphic representation of the amount remaining. Personally, I liked the "ring" design better, but I guess this is an okay "holdover".

What I wasn't so fond of:

Capacitive timeout: STILL INCREDIBLY ANNOYING, the stupid buttons stay lit all the time that the screen is on, especially annoying while watching videos on that brilliant screen and really ruins the experience. I honestly don't know why this hasn't been fixed yet. :(

New theme: Sometimes, the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" rule applies to unfinished themes. I would've much rather had the old bluish theme or (better yet) an all green theme, but this blue/green hybrid without the nifty transparency just looks awful. Can we get something else please? :D

Unlock screen: I know this can be changed, but this really suffers as well because of the above, and I actually liked the "slide up" thing a lot more than this, although I think the rotary unlock is the unlock screen killer if you asked me.

Some unecessary bloatware still remains: "google talk" and "news n weather" are still two programs that I'm never going to use, and most other people won't either, for that matter. Do they really need to take up space in my programs menu and take up the time it takes to either hide or remove them?

Beside those things, this is a great ROM that feels like it is nearing completion.

- 2B
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
If you stop the DRM service in autostarts you are good. In Titanium you can see the 3 DRM service files but you got them already. I don't like to stop an app with another app if I can help it. It a psychological thing..lol,
