[Epic 4G Android Development] the_details:
I just read this, and thought "Oh crap, i forgot to sort this out". Went into my contacts, and all of my facebook contacts are there. Went into accounts, it lists my FB and Google account. It even has FB listed when I go tap "add new", but if I hit FB, it kicks me back to the account screen.

It's worth noting, that I installed Alpha 1 directly over CM7 commando style. As in, I didn't wipe anything, just rebooted from CM7 into CWM, flashed alpha1, then gapps, and rebooted into CM9. I had to clear data on a few apps, but everything works that's supposed to.

So, a possible solution would be to back-up your apps, flash CM7 and install facebook, sync, install CM9 and look at your contacts. If that works, restore your apps and you're golden. I have no idea if it's still syncing new friends or not, though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Orion78:
No I didnt setup google contacts. I just like having phone numbers instead of contacts in my list with just google email addresses, that why I exported just the regular phone numbers.. And they magically appeared when I installed the rom without having to import them back.. Had the same thing happen once before on another rom. Not that im complaining, just wonder how it happend
[Epic 4G Android Development] TeMpTiN:
Do you have google backup/restore checked under settings. It may be doing that for you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] the_dark_knighton:
Man, not updating nightly is driving me crazy already! Lol

Sent from my CM9'ed Epic4g! Wanna fight about it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] luna_c666:
Is USB mass storage broken? Or did I break mine? lol Anyone else have issues with connectivity?

My PC recognizes something is plugged in, but no USB drivers load and the device is not present in the Explorer..

I've just been emailing myself small files and manually placing files on the SD card when needed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SkyTremor:
Use AirDroid it work for me...
[Epic 4G Android Development] vita10gy:
Google contacts means they're in YOUR contacts google stores for you. It has nothing to do with them being on gmail. Sign into gmail and find your contacts, if they're in there there's your answer, if they aren't they should go there, then no more backing up or transferring to your next phone. Otherwise you're ignoring one of android's best features.

Just upgraded to this from ei22 & im loving it not a hitch so far so far!!! I did a full wipe all the way back to di18 & then ota to ec05 & blah blah... & so far this is the smoothest rom Ive ever ran!!!:D:D:D

But i do have a ? should i use the built in overclock settings or voltage control/setcpu???

& is there a fix for the proximity sensor during a call???
[Epic 4G Android Development] smartboy36:
how do I do that?
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
I'm using VC but I still keep an eye on the system settings. Just making sure they are consistent i.e. governor, max/min. So far working good, I believe they both read and write the same sysfs values so the settings in one are the same in the other.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
Mine seems to be stuck at 200 min. Can't use 100. Although it doesn't seem to need it because I'm having the best battery life I've ever got on any rom so far except ec05. Is this normal? Just curious.

Also, wanted to see if anyone has issues restoring apps with titanium backup? I can restore the data just not the actual apps. I just advance restored so I'm not worried about it but just wanted to see if it was just me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:

[Epic 4G Android Development] greenmuggy:
cool i had to ask & lol i did check to make sure b4 that last post & is the reason i asked i didnt want conflicting programs thanx :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] silkassassain:
Should I stick with the stock kernel or try a third party kernel? If so which kernel its the best for CM9?
[Epic 4G Android Development] philowneus:
Stick with stock unless you want vodoo color/sound or oc.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
I'd say stock :x -- but clearly I'm biased.

If you want support from us, that's where you should stay.

Though, some of the 3rd party kernels(bbelos, Apro) definitely allow a few more options than the cm9 kernel. Options which we cannot merge and won't so don't ask. :P

Thanks I will try to see how they work.

Today after work ill see if I can get the vm notification to disappear using methods previously stated. I've only had a google phone on sprint (moment then epic). It also says I have 6 voicemails. So I will try each and report back. It seems this is the most in your face issue for most users.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigdbag:
Anyone know why the stock CM9 music app 1.0 doesn't work on this rom? Compatibility issues?

EDIT: Actually nevermind, market music apps like Power Amp and Winamp don't even show my sd card music. Is there a library scanning bug? I don't think I read about anything like that?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Coycaine:
Check the format of the file. I cant get any music apps to play wma files on cm9.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Teract:
I flashed just fine from 3.1. It auto updated my CWM to 5 and then I used 5 to flash CM9.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Teract:
I had issues with some video files earlier. Fixed it by creating a folder titled "media" and dropping all the files in there instead of the folders CM9 created on my SD card titled "movies", and "music". Dunno why that worked, I'd love an explanation.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bit1:
So I just had the oddest bug. I was at the gym running, and listening to music on my phone when all of a sudden I hear the sound of a phone ringing. I thought maybe it was something in the song. I the song ends and I still hear that distinct ringing sound. Now it was 3 in the morning and there was only one other guy in the gym. I stopped the music and realized it was my headphones. I tried a few different music programs and got the same result. it went away after a reboot. I just thought it odd.

Having weird gallery issues
[Epic 4G Android Development] Alias8818:
Try moving them to another folder period or one at a time.

The media scanner skips all folders that start with "."

Could be something funky about the folder/name.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DCRocks:
I have restored 2 apps that were pulled from the market via TB. They didnt have associated data, so I just selected app only, but they both restored.

One was Roam Control and the other was Tricorder.

I cant get over how great the GPS is now!!!

Got 9 out of 10 satellites, with an error of 1m (3 f'n feet! WOOT!)
[Epic 4G Android Development] balagyi:

When I blew out my birthday candles last night, I hoped to see CM9 on my Epic. Well, what do ya know!? Oh, happy day!

Huge thanks to all who work so hard to make this happen. I look forward to properly reporting any issues I notice or work around and help keep our phone better than the rest. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jimmy50941:
no this will not work on the epic 4g touch. and from what i hear the touch isnt as close to real working ICS as our epic is, but it will almost guaranteed get a official ICS release where our OG epics will likely not, but it will probably be a while still lol. sorry for your luck, maybe the touch will get ICS sooner than last i heard.

So what's up with the cwm 5.5.0.4 that's neat but will it conflict with restoring a nandroid? Will that be the forever cwm? Just wondering :) also I thought they fixed the settings ram leak?.... hopefully I don't get flamed but I just was wondering

WOW!

All I can say is - Unbelieveable! I realize there is a whole lot of work yet to be done - but for what has been done so far - this is amazing! Thanks to all responsible for helping make my EPIC such an awesome phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jpmorris123:
Bravo ... bravo ... CM9 Dev Team.

What a contribution to the thousands who own an Epic4G.

More importantly, what an important statement this makes that quality mobile devices SHOULD NOT be treated just another "disposable item" as the world's behemoth corporations want us to do. Intelligent people can figure out how to extend the life of mobile devices so we are not subjected to the world's consumerism ethos that is killing our planet!

First off. THANK YOU!

And for an alpha build. This is pretty nice. 4g, wifi work. So that is nice. Little laggy on my phone. And virtual keyboard keeps opening when the using the slide out keyboard. But other than that, this is SUPER DUPER EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[Epic 4G Android Development] wispoffates:
CWM 5.5 is permanent so to speak you should have no problem restoring your MTD backups. As for the RAM leak there is no leak to speak the trouble is we have half the RAM 512 (really 360 available) which is half of what ICS was designed for.
[Epic 4G Android Development] adelmundo:
As the old saying goes, good things come to those who wait.

We Epic owners who decided to stick it out over the long haul, after all the delays by Samsung and Sprint to release OS updates and patch fixes, are finally rewarded with an almost perfectly functioning ICS build. I can definitely say this will tie me over until Sprint gets the Galaxy Note (yes I do want that HUGE 5.3" screen).

Not just getting an ICS build, but getting a decently working CM9 before some other phones as well. For those who made fun of the Epic and called it the bastard phone (I have a friend who swears by his Evo 4G and made fun of my phone), who has the last laugh now?
[Epic 4G Android Development] K3VlN:
This is truly amazing its clean runs great (minor lag) other than the noted problems i seem in the posted links and that you cannot add more accounts ( facebook, twitter, corporate, ect) this is awesome and im postiive that all issuses will be resolved im so glad i got to try this out.

AWESOME AWESOME JOB CYANOGENMOD Epic thanks guys
[Epic 4G Android Development] JulianUF:
Um, you realize that's not a sprint phone, right?

As Sprint customers, we have free google voice integration. All those steps are done for you automatically, because it sets your phone number as your google voice number. (I remember having to follow similar instructions to set up google voice before this integration was in place.) (Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not really an expert on this subject.)

All of my texts, voicemails, everything, goes through google voice. 0 problems.

Yet, there is still that phantom VM hanging in the background of every AOSP rom. I have some important calls that I'm waiting for today, so I'll try messing with the clean GB rom later tonight.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JettMartinez:
What a wonderfully clear and detailed bug report. I'm sure the devs will be able to pinpoint that problem in no time and fix it right up. :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G Android Development] -SpeedofSound-:
I actually have had the same issue/bug happen randomly, except it happens to me when answering a phone call. I will answer a phone call and for the entire time I am talking a faint yet repeated phone ringing will happen in the back ground until I hang up. I can however hang up the phone and call back the same person I was just talking to and it goes away without having to reboot.

Cheers!
[Epic 4G Android Development] shadie452:
Is it displaying a different picture than the one you selected when you try to 'set as'? I had that issue. I solved it by going into application data and clearing the data for the gallery app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Schnadam:
I'm getting crappy signal strength on eh17. Can I just flash the new modem over this or do I have to go back to stock?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DonToolBag:
Gentlemen....this ROM is fantastic. I applaud and thank you. (Donation forthcoming.)

Installed without a hitch, no problems, complete wipe (no backup done, I never backup...just re-install a few apps and sync, and I'm back up)...and it's been flawless.

Only thing I noticed is battery life seems to be a little more juice hungry from Gingerbread, but I know there is analysis and fixes coming. (If there are any programs we can run or info. we can provide, let me know.)

-GPS fix was INSTANTANEOUS

-3G is nice and strong

-No crashes, slowness or visible lag at all.

I * do * hate that ICS uses higher resolution pictures for Contacts....grr, all the pictures look ugly. But that's an ICS issue, NOT CM.

Love the work, thanks again, if this is Alpha, holy hell the final version is going to be flawless!

This is my daily phone now.

Once again, please let us [me] know that sort of information or specific feedback you need from alpha testers! What apps, numbers, etc...you need.

Has anyone else had problems getting accounts to sync in "system settings", "accounts & sync"?

I can get twitter and linkedin to sync no problem as well as email accounts across the board, but blackboard won't sync and Facebook doesn't even let me put the information in to attempt a sync.

Thoughts?
[Epic 4G Android Development] czechpunk:
Maybe read the previous posts where they've already talked about this? Facebook will not sync contacts with ICS unless using a different third party app. Just my thoughts...

I'm pretty sure he is using a third party app since Facebook isn't in the sync choices unless you have one.... no need to bash

Just flashed alpha1, still loving this ROM. I'm experiencing 2 minor bugs. Can't swype across the notification bar to manually control the brightness (sorry if its been mentioned before), and yes I have the option in the settings menu "checked". Also since flashing alpha1 I can't change the time in the status bar to show the "am/pm". Always shows the time (digits) by itself, even if I have chosen to display "small" or "normal".

All I noticed wrong though. Battery is great, ROM is snappy and responsive, and of course loving the goodness that is ICS. My current daily and so far, very amazing. Thank you devs :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xiutehcuhtli:
Spot on, I appreciate it. I do read through posts, but if I can't find it after reading for my entire 45 minute train ride on the way in to work I put up a post.

It's all good though, I will figure it out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
I had this same thing happen when I was driving down the road. It hasn't happened since.

One other thing to mention is the signal bars seem to be f'ed up. I show no signal a lot of time but my download speeds are good.

So here is what I figured out when trying to get the phantom VM notifications to go away.

Corrupt odin files brick phones.

I am experiencing a slightly annoying bug with the stock email app. I have it set to automatically sync every 15 minutes on all 3 accounts. However non of them sync and I have to push for updates. 2 are gmail accounts and the 3rd is an outlook exchange .edu account. Anyone else having this issue?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BrooklynsFinest:
Are there any alternate dialers for this ROM? I hate the huge pictures that don't fit.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mark8503:
What is the phantom vm notification? Is it saying you have a voicemail when you really don't? I don't have this problem, only thing I don't like is I don't have a voicemail app anymore. : ( guess I should just use google voice?

How do you sync specific folders for en exchange email account. I uses to be able to do this in GB email stock app.

not sure if anyone having lagging issue when opening app drawer.

Here is what i did and that seems to work:

system settings > Launcher > Drawer > Transition Effect > set to either "Standard" or "Tablet"

(Stack is set as default at first)

once that change, app drawer open nice and smoothly. I am using 'Standard' effect tho.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brooksyx:
I sent it up the same way for CM7, however it took a few tries before it authenticate my username and password and allow me to add it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] -SpeedofSound-:
I read and reread and reread and saw no bashing what so ever...unless you are reading something different than what is posted in this thread??? :confused:

Ok, so your original post said, and I quote "

Has anyone else had problems getting accounts to sync in "system settings", "accounts & sync"?

I can get twitter and linkedin to sync no problem as well as email accounts across the board, but blackboard won't sync and Facebook doesn't even let me put the information in to attempt a sync.

"

The answer to the question you asked, signified by the question mark you put at the end of your sentence is, Yes! The following are people who have not been able to sync facebook and posted about it in this very thread...

1. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22014040&postcount=115

2. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22070504&postcount=439

along with numerous mentions of the problem throughout the thread http://xdaforums.com/search.php?searchid=11008358

OK, so then this cool thing happened in this thread...a few people actually answered the question of why Facebook will not sync....

1. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22019456&postcount=134

2. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22019886&postcount=139

And then someone posted an alternative solution too facebook not sync'ing...

1. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22024526&postcount=167

Then to top it all off, one member may have found a way to get facebook to sync by using an app they referred to in their post here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22032250&postcount=225 (I have not tried this method to confirm if it works or not, but please feel free to try it yourself and post back your experience)

Now, all of the posts I posted above actually pretty much answer your second question, also signified by the question mark at the end which said, and I quote

"Thoughts?"

So I am now confused as to what question you asked that you feel was not already previously answered? Also, confused as to how you and other(s) came to the conclusion that you were being bashed?

All I did was used this nifty forum tool located just above the page numbers at the top right of each thread page titled "Search this thread" and I typed into the box the word, "facebook".

So now, please, if there was a question that you asked that was not answered, then again, please post it up and I, along with many others, will be happy to help you out!

[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
I'm assuming you're talking about the ghetto old school high pitched digital ring?

I've had this problem since CM7. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen. I've also noticed that sometimes it happens when calls come in. The ring will start, but there is no indication a call is coming in, ever. Only reason I know is b/c someone had just called me and questioned why I didn't pick up.

I finally took the plunge and got Google Voice and now I'm glad I did. I only use the Voicemail though. Tried the full Sprint number integration and didn't like how it added my texts to the Voice app. Google Voice you get your VM's transcribed for free where Sprint's VVM charges a subscription fee for that.

ok today my ringer went off and then went crazy and shut of my phone. but it did wake me up

yesterday the phone would not save photos to the gallery until i rebooted. gallery also seems to "lose" the spot on the sd card where pics are saved randomly

in fact it seems like the phone will randomly lose the SD card all together. when i tried to set my ring tones it could not find the ones on the SD card at all. then a day later it picked a couple on its own and used them. i was able to custom set them after that

btw the gallery widget is all kinds of awesome with the whole swiping thing
