Curious as to what area you're in. I know there are some parts of the country where Sprint and Verizon don't have roaming agreements. Chicago (where I am) happens to be one of them. I believe the reasoning is Sprint thinks they have good enough coverage they don't seem to think they need roaming. That being said, it's 100% untrue, but either way, even forced roaming around Chicago doesn't work with Roam Control. I've tried many times, even as far west as the Woodstock-ish area, and still no go.

So, it may not be an issue with the app, it may be an issue with your physical location.

Auto Rotate

Do you have the Auto-Rotate setting checked in the Settings under Launcher?

I'm on Alpha 5, stock, and it works great for me.

None of these posts are helpful, but they are taking up quite a bit of space and reading time. Please try to post it you're asking a question or answering one, not just causing problems...

As for battery misbehavior, can anybody attest to whether or not fully recharging it while on, then again while off will solve the issue?

FWIW, I've stuck with an old version of roam control.... 1.4 has always worked perfectly for me...the newer versions don't seem to trigger any change on my phone...

from froyo to cm7 to cm9 and a million different radios/modems, 1.4 has worked great...

Not sure if the old version is still available anywhere....I checked on roamctrl.com and only see the newer version.

Good luck,

Josh

Force roaming works in chicago and northwest suburbs if you have the right prl. Works for me all the time with roam control. It did not work in most areas with the default prl. But your point is correct, you can't roam on any verizon tower you want unless your prl allows it.

Edit: Also, you may not get 3g speeds or data at all on verizon towers that have cdma signals. You can get 3g speeds on verizon towers with edvo. I see 3g speeds around this area more often than not, but a lot of areas only have 1x too.

That's why when the Nexus S got ICS it didn't come with Face Unlock. A WVGA FF Camera is too low quality.

I had a weird wakelock today. I pulled my phone off the charger before I went to bed and shut off wifi and 3g. When I woke up I was down to 60%. The wake lock sec_jack kept my phone awake for 12 hours. I looked at the battery usage and it directly corresponded to the android system keep awake time. I rebooted the phone before I went to work and battery drain seems fine now even with 3g on the whole time.

Question for anyone who uses Voodoo Sound with CM9: does your volume key hack go only in steps of 2, like volume -20, -18, -16 and so on? I can still use the finger slider if I want more precise volume adjustments, but I don't think I ever had to do that before. I'm wondering if this is a CM9/ICS-related issue...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
Mine also increases/decreases in 2's

(I have Voodoo Plus btw, dnt know if that makes any difference or not, but yeah :p)
[Epic 4G Android Development] chuckdez:
Did you have a head set plugged into the phone? That wake lock is usually generated on insert/removal.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JBakey:
That was probably it then. I was listening to music while it was on the charger. The reboot fixed it
[Epic 4G Android Development] StoneRyno:
If auto rotate is checked and it still fails to auto rotate you will need to either flash back to stock or use dual boot to temp boot into the stock ROM and calibrate the accelerometer. Then return to CM. Be sure to have a CWM backup if you odin back to stock.

Thanks, I'll try this out right now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sohardivetried:
i turned mine off a couple times at night to charge it, then in the morning turned it on and let it stay on the charger and my battery calibration issues also disappeared.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kehlan:
I don't know what else to do. I've tried all the suggested methods, charging to 100% while on, then 100% while off, then resetting battery stats in CWM, rebooting while on...

I'm not getting random 35% or more drains during reboot, but my battery is discharging rapidly. A few percent in a matter of minutes after rebooting...

Can ANYBODY input as to WHY this is happening? Kind of unsettling that the quality of my battery may be degrading just because I'm using this ROM... along with everybody else that is...
[Epic 4G Android Development] skssha:
Sorry a noob question, can I flash this rom over a el30 bml rom ?

skssha
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
I would suggest an alternative kernel for undervolting...to help aleviate the battery drain that happens on this ROM. Also go get betterbatterystats if you dont already and open it up and see if your having any major wakelocks such as audio out 1 or mmc delay work these are notorious for battery drainage.

---------- Post added at 11:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 AM ----------

Yes but you need to wipe data. It will reboot the recovery and install the ROM once its done converting you to MTD.:)
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
What you described is a real power drain. You have to find it. I suggest you do a Factory Data reset, flash the ROM and gapps and do not install anything else. Test it for a few hours. Then download a couple of your apps fresh until you find the one errant app. Then never use that app again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nastypup:
My phone has become slow and sluggish. I assume it has to do with settings. How do I optimize to increase speed? Wifi is also very slow when compared to my husband's tablet sitting next to the phone so it's not the router.

Cyanogen Mod 9.5, EI22. I love my Ice Cream Sandwich!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
What happens is the RAM starts to build up if you dont reboot or have an app to clear the system cache or background process that could be why your getting a sluggish phone after a while. Also the wifi strength is a little iffy im right next to my router and it will still tend to drop to 2 bars... so its a known issue.

Id recommend using memory booster lite or the paid version and place the widgets some place and just clear it out every once and a while just not too often because it will tend to use more battery as this will clear out the background process which are apps that get cached for later use and ease of access.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nastypup:
I have RAM Manager Pro. I thought it was supposed to automatically clear the cache and optimize memory.

Once again, I recant my statement. I just rebooted at 41% or so, and it came back with 8%. This is really, REALLY getting annoying.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xinlitik:
Alpha 6 looks like it will be awesome. Thanks devs
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
So do me a favor and watch your battery percentage over the next few hoursand see what happens. I bet if you put it down and come back in another hour or so you will be at 15% or higher.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nitefall:
this has happened to me many times, not just on this rom but froyo and gingerbread as well.

The battery is still there the stats just go wonky though
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Pull your battery for a few minutes, and then put it back in and boot up, or to be more accurate. Put your battery back in and plug it into a power source so that the battery indicator comes up, in which case you can boot from that more accurate indicator rather than the one in system.

But you've got to wait a few minutes or the battery will continue to display the wrong percentages.
[Epic 4G Android Development] a2tz:
You can also do it to your bottom row launcher apps (blank on what to call those atm). I didn't even think about that at first but it is pretty darn handy.
[Epic 4G Android Development] CapsLockKey:
I've had this problem occasionally where the phone suddenly thinks the battery is drained more than it is. Not a huge deal most of the time, but when it happens on a phone call and the phone shutdowns because it thinks the battery is dead even though it was at 40%, then it is really annoying. I wasn't sure if maybe it was my battery going bad (original stock from a release day handset) so I swapped it out for one on my son's Epic which has a "born on date" that's 6 months newer. So far no weird battery behavior, but it's only been a few days. This behavior wasn't exclusive to CM9 either. Had it happen on CleanGB and CM7 before too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
That is WAY different then what you said. Never reboot lower than 80% unless you are plugged into a charger. This has been reiterated dozens of times....it is a damn battery reporting bug across all ROMs and nothing is going to fix it. Read what people are telling you. Take the battery out for 5 minutes and reboot. It will be back to 40%.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
The only time I ever get wonky readings like that is when the phone randomly reboots. If I hit the power button, go to reboot, and choose 'reboot' (not recovery) it will properly reboot and it always displays the percentage as right where it was or one lower. This happens more often than not when the overall percentage is lower than 80%.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JBakey:
The funny part is is that bug has no relevance to your battery life at all. If you reboot at 40 and end up with 15, it'll sit at 15 for hours until it goes down to what's supposed to be 14.
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:

ok, so i really need to ask this group something. Everyone seems so happy with CM9, and there are alot of reasons to be impressed with it. but, as an executive with an airline, i flashed this rom and find it doesn't have some of the most basic essentials, like voicemail icon??? speed dial??. is there a rom that has all of these basic essentials aside from stock????
[Epic 4G Android Development] paullueders223:
Maybe buy a new phone? Why you still sweating the Epic? Otherwise go to CleanGB it has what you need.

Edit - Just looked at your profile ... First, you're a pilot and an executive with an airline and you end every question with ????? or !!!!; I call bull****, don't make **** up. Second, stop making threads for individual problems without searching for similar threads. Third, don't post the same question on 3 threads. Fourth, don't get pissed at people and act childish when they inform you about the golden rule of xda, using the search function.

Any TW ROM like CleanGB, Sleeper, etc. This is an AOSP. You need to download apps from the market to replace TW (Touchwiz) apps. Visual Voicemail Plus is one. And please read a little about the ROM you choose, at least the OP. It will help you decide what to put on your phone.

I updated the FAQ with "What is the latest version of CM9?".

Perhaps we can encourage users to check out the CM9 FAQ and/or the Q&A section support thread (it is a little less formal an area than the official faq) to answer their questions, as well :)

Maybe add these links to the OP (again, not that people always read it).

This is my last off topic post here I promise but iif someone is going to install a custom ROM on their phone that probably will change some functionality of the phone and IF their phone is critical to them the LEAST they should do is read the first page and last few pages of a thread.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Ideally yes, but it's a ways off, the best thing to do would be to watch Gerrit currently I think overall the quirks of the OS are trying to be worked out before any customization features are to be baked in. But yes it should be, though some aspects are possibly to be missing. Namely those that people don't use due to lack of understanding of them, which makes perfect sense to me lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shinydude100:
It'd be nice if this thread was wiped, with only the OP posting, and thread locked.

Only thing needed would be to add a link to a separate thread dedicated to question and answers in our Q&A section, where that thread can have all q&a's posted on the first page, and all extra pages promptly deleted after being posted on the q&a thread's first page, to make it easy for users to find answers.

A bit more organization is all I see that's needed here. Jayharper, Deca, and our other mods may not have the time, but i'd volounteer myself to manage a few of our sections mainly for CM9 purposes, and I'm sure others will step forward and help too. Make it protocol and it'll soon catch on. We're all happy to have CM9, some of us are very savvy on how to do these things, but not everyone is at our level, thus we need to make that bridge that'll help beginners catch up and learn like the rest of us.

Only my opinion, I am nobody. But it does offer a solution as opposed to 100+ pages of some useful info, duplicate questions, irritated users replying, trolls only worsening the situation, and devs shaking their head at the immaturity of its community. After looking through 100s of lines of code, I think the last thing a dev wants to see is their work not being able to be fully enjoyed due to confusion, and whatnot.

Experiences so far

Very pleased with this release. I started with alpha 3, then 4, now 5 with major battery issues resolved.

I had horrid battery drain until just recently. I knew it was an app issue...

I selectively uninstalled and re-installed apps to see which ones had an impact on battery. Eventually I found what seems to be the culprit... Mis-configuration in Google voice I couldn't change without uninstalling (server said YES to VM->SMS, app said NO VM->SMS). Not sure why this would cause issues, but after uninstalling GV and re-installing, my drain is as good as with CM7.

So: if you are having issues with this ROM or the kernel, check your apps very carefully. Uninstall them and see what happens. Work it and don't give up. CM9 isn't perfect, but neither are the apps we use that claim to be "released".
