I rooted my phone the other day and installed Cyanogemod 9 alpha 3. I know just rooting and installing can see some bad battery life, but I've gone from 100% to 50% in about 3.5 hours with not really doing anything. Is there anything I can do to try and keep it up aside from waiting a few days? I'm apparently running the FD10 kernal and not sure if switching to a newer or different one can make a huge difference, or if there's one people have much better experience with.

How do I FLASH the CM9 kernel because it is not a .ZIP

I am assuming you meant flash in ODIN, but what do I select it under? BOOTLOADER? PDA? PHONE? CSC?

I have a 3800mAh battery but I am OK with this. Haven't worried about the battery today, played some games, had a couple minutes of phone calls, some Slacker on Bluetooth, some forum and Facebook time, etc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah that seems okay but battery life definitely needs to improve and hopefully with a true custom kernel it will. I was able nearly that much battery life with the stock battery on TouchWiz Gingerbread. I bet you were able to 20+ hours without try too hard.

---------- Post added at 10:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 AM ----------

Actually with FD24 and FD26 kernels the storage has been all weird. System settings -> storage -> menu button -> Storage configuration.

If you have the "Use internal storage" checked, /emmc becomes the internal SD card while /sdcard becomes external sdcard. So when you go back to the "storage" screen, "Internal Storage" is actually the MicroSD card and "SD Card" is the internal memory.

Does anyone else find this a little backwards? I was expecting "Use internal storage" would mean the internal memory and not the MicroSD card. Everything else does seems to be working okay as my pictures do get saved to internal and my offline Google Play Music is also there. However, some apps seem confused and have data on the MicroSD like Fandago, Tango, and CameraZOOM FX.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
I guess some people just know how to read.. :rolleyes:

It has been stated several times that this will be fixed in the next alpha. Its already been fixed in the current private test build I am running.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elzero26:
Any Idea when they will drop the to New Alpha Build?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Just a few tweaks and feature changes. Nothing to note worthy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
Sorry. The only fix I read recently was adding the option to choose whether to save pics on internal on external memory.

But now that I know how to read, I'll link myself to your quote. (Which was the only time a fix was mentioned):

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nishk:
A4 coming ~ 2 wks.

@shaanfx

I believe the Google+ thread said that work on A4 was coming along nicely, but that there aren't really any big changes from A3. I think the ETA was about two weeks from now. Also - do you think they'll make it Beta once it's got a custom kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Alpha/beta is just a word really. Doesnt affect the status of the rom honestly. But I think once kernel is released we are going to try and get nightly builds from the official cyanogenmod servers, but no guarantees.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elprincipejay:
So would the kernel be the same as it being built from source ??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
The kernel will be built from source. Just not samsung's source. It will be our own custom made kernel. However once samsung releases ICS source I am sure many things will be merged to create one awesome kernel. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elprincipejay:

Slow USB transfer speeds

Anyone else getting slow USB speeds on CM9? I used to get ~10 MB/s to both the phone storage and my SD card using GB, it's about 2.5 to 3 MB/s now...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
I know you weren't suggesting a fix. I was quoting that a fix is in the works for the next alpha.

You sure 20 times in this thread? I did go back a few pages and the only mention I could find was myself on page 444 about wanting my pics to go back to internal memory. If that's the problem you're talking about that's been mentioned many times, then yes (In the Android development thread). The difference is I went into more detail about how /emmx and /sdcard are all screwed up whether you check or uncheck the "Use internal memory" option. I didn't see anyone mention that which is why I posted it.

I was using Google Navi last night while on the car charger for about an hour and a half, once we got to our friends house I went to call her and found my phone was insanely hot, turned it off for a minute (while it was still plugged in) and saw the overheat warning. Could this have been my friend's charger or is this a known issue? Also if it makes any difference the phone was at 7% when I initially started charging/navi and stayed that way the whole trip.

Do you have the "Force GPU rendering" checked in Developer options? If so uncheck it. If it still wont work, its probably incompatible with ICS.

Don't put any limit if you have unlimited data on sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hduenas1989:
for those of you with GPS problems the fix is easier than QBKing's tutorial makes it seem.

----------------

This is what the video says:

-Odin back to a Gingerbread ROM, make sure you have CWM installed

-Open up Maps and get a GPS lock (when the GPS indicator stops flashing and stays solid)

-Power the phone off, boot into recovery

-Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, flash CM7, flash GAPPS

-boot into CM7, open up maps, get a GPS lock

-power off, boot into recovery

-Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, flash CM9, flash GAPPS

---------------

skip the CM7 step and go straight to CM9, and if you want the FD26 Kernel and modem:

-Odin EL26 Stock Kernel with CWM, put it in the PDA slot. When it installs and reboots immediately boot into CWM.

-flash FD26 Modem

-flash FD26 AOSP Kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
Is that fd26 kernel.zip the CM9 specific version?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] attrapp:
If I disable the LED notification to save battery it switches back to enabled whenever I receive a txt via Handcent. Can anyone else confirm this bug? My guess is it will just be fixed when we get kernel sources but I was wondering if anyone else experiences this in Alpha 3.

Sounds like a handcent issues. Check to see if there are led settings in handcent.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] attrapp:

Does anyone else have a problem using navigation through Bluetooth? The only verbal commands I get is "data connection lost". Data connection is still fine and I never had this problem when I used my aux connection instead of Bluetooth.

FD26 seems to run good but removed root priveleges. It doesn't have the cm9 option for enabling it. Any quick way to root it without just Odin another kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
That happened to me with the AOSP version of FD24. unfortunately you have no choice but to Odin.

Look in the main thread for D's version.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
Hey guys, I googled and read about 20 pages back..on here and the Dev section of cm9 thread. I obviously must have missed the fix...but

I am having issues with not receiving notifications for my XDA premium app as well as twitter,pulse and a couple of other apps.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
Anytime I have issues with notifications for an app I try deleting the app data and signing back in. It's essentially like reinstalling. It's worked for Facebook messenger, Twitter, and Google voice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
I've tried that for the xda app and no luck. It did fix the twitter app.

But ever since updating the last 2 updates for the xda premium app...I no longer get notifications.

CM9 issue? probably not, but didn't have this problem with Calks ICS ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Do these work on other versions of ICS? These apps just might not be 100% compatible with ics yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
Yeah, I have no problem going into xda(app) via my phone.

I'm just not getting my notifications from when someone posts on a thread/forum that I'm subscribed to.

It was working fine up until the app had an update.

Strange.

Forgive my stupid question but could someone explain to me how can I update to the newest alpha using heimdall in linux? The old tutorials have the old gui of heimdall frontend so it is confusing. I am currently running the past alpha so I need help going back to the gingerbread kernel and then flashing the newest alpha.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
You could always use mobile Odin. I have no experience with heimdal... Mobile Odin the el26 kernel and go from there if you don't get a response. Super simple
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
Yea.. mobipe odin or just odin the el26cwm tar th boot into recovery to flash new version, gapps, and whtever mod you want.. i use reloaded ics and inverted gapps and also flashed the fd26 kernel and modem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
Sounds like a network issue possibly.. havent had any issues like that on cm9a3.. does it fail with go sms installed also? Which kernel/modem do you have? Has it been ongoing or just started happening? These are questions tyat could be useful to narrowin down the issue to the phone or the network
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentzefen:
Okay, I'll try using mobile odin. Which of the two EL26 kernels should I use? [ODIN] or [CWM]? And after I flash it, I can just reboot to recovery and flash alpha 3 and gapps just like usual, correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
For mobile odin u need the el26 with cwm but get the tar file (odin) not the zip.. and yes since ur just updating

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qwasz123:
Do apps switch to using the Emmc or do they still use the external sd? If so that's a total deal breaker and really dumb of cm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] biggtiny210:
do you think in storage configuration it will have to be unchecked before installing the kernel...idk

edit:disregard..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
Some apps handle it fine, some don't. Depends on the app.

I'm starting to get over it. If you think about it, the external storage really is the sd card.

You could debate it either way, but the reality is that it is the cm standard.

Of course, you can always hack your vold.fstab. I did that for a minute and it works, but isn't practical if you plan on flashing regularly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
I know you said to disregard, but just in case anyone else is wondering, No. Odin mode doesn't care what settings you have inside the ROM.

Before you flame me, I've searched, tried the answers I found, and they didn't help so I'm going to ask here:

Anyone else having battery issues when you use your phone to listen to music? I didn't notice this on stock, but since gong to CM9, I'm getting killed by just listening to music with the screen off.

When I go to the battery break down, the culprit seems to be Mediaserver. I've looked into it, and most of the solutions center around some corrupt media files. I've pulled everything off and reloaded every song onto the EMMC, not the external SD. I've also re-downloaded everything fresh from Amazon's cloud service, hopefully to ensure sound files.

But still, I burn thru battery. I'm down to 50% after about 3 hours of no screen usage, just music. Anyone else have this problem?

For the record, I'm using UberMusic as a player, but saw the same issues with Player Pro, Google Music, the CM9 built in and Amazon's cloud player.

So this whole emmc and sdcard swap thing seems to screw up apps installed in /sdcard when switching from an older kernel where internal memory = sdcard, to a newer kernel where internal memory = emmc.

My question, is there anything special you need to do to get these apps to work? Or do you just go through and install them one by one after you flash the new kernel?

I was wondering if anyone knows of a good app to control the sync interval on our phone or if there is a way to incorporate it into profile management?

I have realized that auto-sync is causing me a great deal of battery loss. I have a few Gmail addresses, plus a few social networking accounts. With it on all of the time I can get roughly 15 hours with my typical use but with it off (enabling every 30-60 mins) it jumps up to 25+ hours. Since Talk and +messenger work with it off I don't really need everything else instant. I believe juice defender may be able to do this but I don't want to disable my connection completely or add a bunch of unneeded settings.

Since you don't need things to be instant, you could just go to Settings > Accounts & Sync, and you could just turn it off completely. This way your data will still be on and everything should still work, but you will have to refresh manually ie when you check GMail.
