For the VM notification issue, I dialed (408) 970-0000 and it prompted me to use text or vvm. K chose text, cleared the msgs, hung up, dialed back and switched it back. Then installed youmail. Eh, it worked for me anyway

I also had zero issues until today. Today, was getting no calls, despite reboot and different kernels, wiping dalvik etc etc.. either over the air or at home using Airave.. switched ROMS, and all worked again.. going to go back to CM9 tomorrow.. :cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
After another day or two I can confirm there is absolutely no difference in call quality. Still get echoing, very bad, on both ends. My girlfriend and I are on the phone a lot and about 95% of the time she's *****ing me out for running this because she can't understand a word I say. I in turn become frustrated at hearing myself echo very loudly back in my own ear. I really don't want to leave cm9 but just like when I was on cm7 the same major issue is in my way, this device is a phone before it is "anything" else.
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
Strange I've noticed much improved call quality with Alpha 2, and my wife even tells me as much. She hasn't complained since I switched..

Either I did something right, or you didn't do something..
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
I have to agree with A2 my call quality increased significantly. Very noticeable improvement. +1
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Same here... for the first time my wife and cousin could actually understand me!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
I developed roms for over a year. Not nearly as skilled as these devs, but you can rest assured I know what I'm doing. The call quality has not changed. The exact same issues are present and just as bad as they ever were. Back to the drawing board.

Are there "no" other audio drivers that can be used?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xtrezpasor:
Random bug I haven't seen anyone mention so I wanna know if its just me - if I leave the phone slide open (keyboard out) and the phone screen turns off a little while later the keyboard will light up by itself
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
I'm not saying it's perfect, but I am saying that over alpha1, alpha2 has dramatically improved, people can understand and hear much clearer, the echo is half of what it was. They are making improvement in the right direction. This feedback is necessary because if I said no it sucks and it's still crappie then I would be lying and making it seem like there had been no improvement. My unit and my experience has been that Alpha2 has improved call quality.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
I'm just stating that my call quality is no different. At first I thought it was, but it's not. I just want it to be known so this isn't "considered" fixed and just forgotten about. I know there isn't much I can contribute, so I get that aspect, but it's still a serious issue and I'm just hoping more time will be spent on it before other less non-essential things. Imo calls = top priority on any build for any device that's main purpose is that it is indeed a phone, regardless of whatever functions are built ontop of that. I mean I'll move back to stock if I must cause that's always an option for me. Just stating an opinion.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ac16313:
If its top priority, then you should go back to stock. Calls is a non essential thing for me I hardly ever make calls using my phone, or any phone for that matter. That's why I'm perfectly fine running this. If its not for you just post the issue and flash stock. Wait it out.

HUGE problem... potential bricked phone.

Alright.... so I just upgraded to CM9 from SRF frozen 1.2. Everything was going great for about two days until today, when I could not dial out. When I attempted to dial my phone from another number it went straight to voicemail. Resetting and rebooting had no effect and the problem was persistent.

This was enough for me to decide to go back to SRF until further development was done on this awesome rom. So, I rebooted into the recovery that installs with the rom and tried to restore back to the backup I made before I installed CM9.

I was running SRF 1.2 with Genocide 2.0 and ACS Recovery 1.0.0.4.

The restore went fine, and it completed successfully (or so it seemed). Now, the phone will not get past the B/W Samsung and Genocide kernel text. It just hangs there indefinitely. If I take the battery out, it power cycles up to the Samsung screen. I cannot go into recovery by holding buttons, I cannot boot normally, and having the battery or SD card in/out does not have an impact on things. I cannot see the phone when plugged into a PC. What are my options?

(I won't be able to reply until tomorrow, but hopefully I'll see some helpful replies when I log back on in the a.m.) I'm thinking that I'll have to go out and buy a new phone tomorrow, which is VERY upsetting. :-(

EDIT: This was simply a case of being forgetful. SRF is EXT4 and CM9 is mtd. They aren't compatible. I just odin'd back to stock, re-rooted, and all was well. Thanks to the helpful replies.

[Epic 4G Android Development] xtrezpasor:
I think you need to odin back to stock (click repartition) - this rom converted you to mtd (I think) and srf 1.2 is ext4 (I believe maybe rfs)

i need call quality, and camera, and battery life. other stuff is cool, but those three things fixed, it will be time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] p3dr0maz:
Thanks CM Team

Just installed without issues. I appreciate the hard work devs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Nobody has any problems understanding me and I hear them fine. My call quality is as great as it is on TW ROMs.

Zeinzu didn't your phone have other issues on CM7 that no one else had? Knowing how these phones are, it is a little obnoxious to say back to the drawing board if it didn't fix it for you yet lots of others said theirs is better. Maybe some tweak is required to rake in the rest.
[Epic 4G Android Development] djjoshplacid:
This is so different than anything i've ever had on my phone. lovin' every bit of it. Still can't believe we got this on our epic 4g. It's like having a new phone. one question I have is, has anyone looked for or found any easter eggs? not to say any are there but i don't know and was curious. for instance the zombie photo with gingerbread!
[Epic 4G Android Development] s89281b:
watch qbking77 video review of cm9 on epic 4g. he shows you where it is.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxLHQJ0KA3g
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
I still am amazed that people are so flash happy jump into flashing a rom and don't read. Have no idea what bml, MTD is for that matter don't know what ext4 or rfs is. Some are even funnier they have no understanding between TW or AOSP or CM. They don't read where Deca says this is NOT TW and will never be and don't ask. They go flash this and then start asking where is this feature where is that.

I can't restore my backup... DUH!!!!!

PEOPLE PLEASE READ. I'm just saying, it's OK to be a noob but don't be one of those with that special ID... ID10T
[Epic 4G Android Development] djjoshplacid:
lol, thats fun, thanks for that. tried that originally but wouldn't work for me. got it now though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
Well lots of others are reporting its fixed. I would think you would want to see why yours is not. Although you can keep posting the same thing over and over again if you like.

I've seen others report this, but twice now I've gotten this annoying ringing going on while on a phone call. It goes away once the call ends.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigdbag:
It seems there is some discrepancy. There are definitely people who have experienced improved call quality, while others like Zeinzu and myself definitely don't see any difference in the latest alpha.
[Epic 4G Android Development] drunkskunk:
Leave the noobs alone. We were all noobs once. Just like devs know everything, and we don't. We know other topics and they dont.
[Epic 4G Android Development] beltsnspoons:
thank you! i was reading where he said he restored back to ec05 through cwm n i was like, "well theres your problem!" i mean come ON ppl. i thought all of this was covered when we first got MTD. if you cant be bothered to read the warnings and ALL of the VERY AVAILABLE information before you flash then DONT $*%&$(& FLASH!
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
How do you install A2? Did you do a full wipe before hand?? I also have a theory about stuff being left behind on the SD card, but haven't been able to come up with proof.
[Epic 4G Android Development] beltsnspoons:
after getting my tiny rant out of my system, i agree with you. if this guy needs someone to walk him through recovering his phone, i volunteer. god knows ive had to do it a few times.

---------- Post added at 09:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 AM ----------

i always do a full wipe and use the method on the cm9 blog for restoring. but thats just me. i dont think its necessary anymore.

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 AM ----------

or maybe samsung put out a lottery phone that just plain sucks, and he got it.

OR, and im leaning to this one, HE screwed his phone up. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigdbag:
Yah. completely wiped and started fresh. I did restore data from TB but only for my market apps. But even that can't be the culprit because I tested calling before installing any apps anyway. Very mind-boggling, because I have another family member with an Epic with ICS A2 installed and his has much better call quality without echoing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] beltsnspoons:
well dude, you should have read all the information before flashing and you would have known that once you convert to mtd you HAVE to odin back to stock before going back to non mtd based roms, and that not doing so WILL brick your phone. this is common knowledge in the community so...

anyways, that being said, no one deserves a bricked phone so, if you need me to walk you through the recovery process PM me and ill do my best to help you.

ive made mistakes and soft bricked my phone before and the very excellent members of the epic xda community were there to help me out of my bind (thanks rodderick and tpike!!) so i will pay it forward. let me know bro.

if your phone is getting to the sammy and genocide screens it is most likely recoverable. i know a few tricks to getting it into download mode and your computer to recognize it as ive had to do this on both mine, and my fiances phones. it'll be much easier to explain in real time so if anything goes wrong i can tell you how to react accordingly, so we will most likely have to figure out a time that we can both be online and talk through AIM or some other messaging program.

---------- Post added at 10:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 AM ----------

my fiance is on cm7 and i am on cm9 and sometimes when i call her i hear something like a phone ringing. it happens when her call waiting goes off, its strange, it used to happen when i was on cm7 too, but only when i call her. it really doesnt bother me tho, it happens rarely, its just weird. i dont feel like documenting or looking into what is causing it so i wont complain about it, lol. seems like other people should think that way as well, you know?

What are your voltage control settings? With exception of music, that's pretty much all I do on my phone during the work week, and I barely get half that battery life? (Unless I cheat and let it sit untouched on wifi over night) I'm not oc, but am uv a bit on noop and smartass v2 as I read that's one of the better combos for battery life.

These are today's stats so far from full charge. I'm not working today, so I have been using more than usual. Maybe my phone just doesn't like tanto that much. Wasn't as bad on shadow. Both better than stock for me though. Haven't tried shuriken yet.

Noop is probably the most efficient i/o but intellidemand seems to work the best on my phone smartassv2 seems broken on mine or doesn't function properly. Mine uv is crazy -200 on the lowest and -100 on the 1000mhz ;)

[Epic 4G Android Development] roddygonzo17:
Before I start I'd just like to say that i understand that sometimes one person does have an issue that no one else or maybe a handful of others had. It's happened to me before. However, when I reported it and a lot of other people said that they weren't having that issue, the thing I avoided most was calling those people offensive names. I just went on and waited hoping that the someone else with the same problem would see my post. It turned out that the dev seen the post and PM me and helped solve the issue for me. I'm almost positive if I was to call other people in the community dicks or douchebags that the dev would not have PM me back or even bother looking into this issue. So just for future reference, I would refrain from using derogatory language towards anyone. It gets you nowhere here and it will get you nowhere in life. And before I go i would also like to offer one other piece of advice. When you are typing there is absolutely no need to put quotations around random words. I'm not sure why you do but i can promise you we wont skip over the words just because you don't put them in quotes. Have a good day and good luck with your issue. :)
