I have heard many forms of calibrating. None of which I have ever done with any of my android devices. Some diddly about draining the battery, charging fully, taking it off the charger then plugging it back in till fully charged. Or was it fully charged while the phone is off, turn it on run it to 5%, charge fully, oh wait, wiggle your nose, do the macarena, damn, that's to get 4g to work...

Anyway, all of it is hoopla in my opinion. Just letting the phone cycle for a couple of days is all I have ever done to see how the rom is going to be on battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Okay look, go to settings and go to battery. You see the usage? How do you think they rate what is using the battery? They calibrate the software.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Placebo. Let the phone cycle through charges and build stats itself. Simple as that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:

Lol. Kind of what I said. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anthony67:
I'm not in this debate....but I've seen plenty of times, right on the screen, when I flash MOST ROMS.....they reset batterystats.bin....so why do it again??

P.S., whenever I read one of Korey's posts I hear Pee Wee Herman's voice in my head.....just sayin......:rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Whether or not it is a placebo effect, I am still programmed to do the charge to full, power down, charge to full, pull battery then put it back, charge to full and wipe the stats. I do seem to get that 2 hours at 98-99% as well. Maybe its just a speeding up of the settling process but its just part of my setup process and I know my battery will be good on day 2 like clockwork.

Edit..I definately read that article from the Google tech and it did explain how the phone self calibrates but I am a creature of habit.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Korey

Entropy quote

Placebo effect - our fuel gauge chip requires no calibration, and in fact, cannot have any calibration method applied to it other than pulling the battery for a few minutes.

You go talk to him if u don't believe me before you go off laughing

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yup, I read that and it goes alot more in depth explaining it. That's a reason why we cant get an accurate assessment of battery on day 1 and sometimes day 2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Same here man same here. I pretty much do the same exact thing no matter what just like the Odin thing going back to EG30 before I mess with a ICS build lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Me too...lol. I still start at EG30 myself but I owe it to sfhub to take a look at the EL29 one click w/recovery for flashing these ICS ROMs. Great move on his part putting that together to help people
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
They have to properly calibrate the usage of the phone. The phone can't tell how much the voice calling is using if it isn't properly calibrated
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
I haven't yet once mentioned the battery stats bin and resetting. Why do you people put words in my mouth?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Yeah sfhub has good work. I still just go back to EG30 for everything. Every phone I've rooted for my friends I roll back to EG30 and go from there. Last phone I did I put my friend oh BlazerRom 4 and he loves the thing. His wife hates him for it but yeah she does seriously not need root lol. But knowning her shes going to msg me one of these days (most likely when ICS is final) and just be like sooo how about we root my phone and we not tell him about it lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anthony67:
I never said you did....I was referring to using battery calibration when the .bin got reset during the flash....if there's something in your mouth you better spit it out....just sayin........
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
I will bet anyone that the final build will have extremely better battery life than we have no with these leaks. Anyone want to take me up on that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
You predict a stable build to perform better than a leak?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Yep, and I bet on better battery usage stats. Any day of the week, wanna bet on it? The battery can't get any better since they don't have to calibrate anything. And from what most people say this is perfectly stable build. Samsung adjusting the calibration of each individual stock application allows for better battery performance.

This can be seen in every device across the board. This is why maintenance release always say increase battery performance. This is because they adjust the calibration of device.

And no, I'm not talking about the batterycalibration.bin so don't bring it up again. Of course that doesn't do anything. We have known that since the HTC Hero_C
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
So to be clear what part of this do disagree with?

Placebo effect - our fuel gauge chip requires no calibration, and in fact, cannot have any calibration method applied to it other than pulling the battery for a few minutes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
I don't disagree with that. You manipulated what I said to try to argue with me. What I'm talking about is completely different then what you are bringing up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
These better battery releases involve dialing in apps taking pressure off cycles. That's why crap apps from market drain your battery. No I dont wanna bet. That's common sense.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
I'm with you Cidica. Guys, let's get back to the topic. No F or B. Only Good or God's words here! :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Did I mention that FC07 is working really well for me yet? Lol. I don't want this thread to get closed over a battery calibration argument.

Edit.. and I am a major offender of "......." because I,hate,when,I,do,this on accident
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Touche. Calibrating app resource usage isn't the same as a battery calibration. I guess there was noise in that communiation.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anthony67:
Lol, I'm done John, I was told to gtfo so.......
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Damn, this thread is moving fast. Everyone will miss my "edit" lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:

And me and barnacles finally understand each other
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lafester:
Isn't it about time for another leak?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Alright, sounds good. Sorry for my assumptions. Lets keep xda happy. Of course these builds will only get better. At least we hope so =P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Well I do too. You can see they already improves the application calibration drastically in the past few leaks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
Indeed. I'm getting twitchy.

Hey, I few pages back someone said they couldn't get data to roam. It does work. But the default setting is off. I found this out yesterday. So, if you think it isn't working go to setting and unblock roaming. Then you should be smooth sailing.

As for the battery, I unplugged at 550 this morning. This is the first time I have used my phone and I am at 78% after 3 and a half hours. I have no bars at work right now so that might be part of the problem.

I have always had signal here. So, the battery issue might be a caused by the bad signal. I was having horrible battery problems the other day at work too. I thought it was just the new rom. I don't know if the tower is down or if the new modem is not so good.

Is there a way to tell if the tower is up and running normal?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rgregg504:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reddragon72:
I'm just hoping for those big bugs to get fixed. Especially the stuttering that occurs everywhere. So maybe FC13 leak will come quickly since it looks like we are the testers for Sprint/Sammy.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TurboFool:
I've been chuckling at FC the whole time and hoping we'd end up with it. 13 would make it even funnier. Hopefully the fact that Samsung's Korean means they won't bow to the idiotic pressure in America to avoid the number at all costs like we do with floor numbers (hey, people on 14: you're lying to yourselves!) and such.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] master acehole:
As do I have that feeling maybe 1 more leak ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more ICS leaks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteZero:
Taking bets on FC13 being the final release.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
If things like exchange (for some users) is fixed in this release for a stock rom and a few other minor issues it could very well be there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
You might want to make restrictions on that bet. I would think we would see other updates in the future.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Yeah you have a point fc07 is still a big buggy but there were 6 days with no new rdf which I think is a record so i am guessing alot of bugs were fixed.

Hopefully :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteZero:
By final release, I mean "ready to be released to users via OTA" or whatever. Of course there will be other updates after release.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
They are in nightly mode, there were no rdfs the past couple of days because of the weekend. The final build is likely to be a little ways off.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
Quick! Someone tell sextape that Adele's feeling frisky and has the cameras rolling (in the deep).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
I like your joke.

But,

I'm Korean and let me explain to you what Samsung or LG mean.

Samsung (삼성, 三星) - Three Stars. Founder, ByungCheul Lee named it with the meaning;

Sam (삼) - means the number 'Three'. Translated as 'much, a lot and strong'. Most Korean likes the number three

Sung (성) - means 'Star'. Translated as 'high, clear, shining and forever'

LG (엘지) - Lucky Gold Star but original name was GS (금성, Gold Star).

As you can see, Korean likes the Star because it's shining brightly in the high sky. Many companies wanted to be like a star. So, they added the word 'Star' at the end of their names.

So, please be cautious when you talk about Korean or the company that you don't like.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
I hope that's a joke because your not going to win that bet, there are still a couple of more builds left before the final is ready
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
Implication being that someone has the FC13 tar and there are still bugs to be fixed....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
lol I was kinda thinking the same exact thing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Reignzone:
Given the rather large leap from build version to build version... I would strongly agree with this being considered a potential candidate for the final release. :cool:

Sent from my SPH-D710 using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
What you are saying would be only truth!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Compusmurf:
Not a large leap, they didn't work on the weekends and maybe didn't post an RDF for 08/09/12 builds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Like caulk said, there's still aways to go, but it is getting closer to finished
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neatchee:
The "build version" is just an alpha-numeric representation of the date when the build was created.

EL29 => E (GB) + L (12>December) + 29 (29th) => Gingerbread build from December 29th

FB15 => F (ICS) + B (2>February) + 15 (15th) => ICS build from February 15th

FC07 => F (ICS) + C (3>March) + 07 (7th) => ICS build from March 7th

Thus FC13 is just the March 13th compile of ICS

EDIT: E/F could be just year increments and it might just be a coincidence that ICS builds started exactly in January. Not sure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
I updated the OP and moved some stuff around. I tried to clean it up a bit too.

I also posted some of the Custom Roms that I found over in the development section. They are in no particular order and I am not giving any opinion on which one I would recommend. If I missed one shoot me a PM. I was trying just to put the ones based off recent builds and are being regularly maintained.

And Kobridge, thanks for that explanation of the name Samsun. I love random trivial knowledge.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darklavalizard:
I don't even have any special inside info and I'd be willing to bet FC13 is far from being the final release :p

Anything after ek02 was changed in an xml for the status bar. The new way to fix it is to chabge the android background in status_bar. Xml under layout in systemui.apk.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
That still really has NOTHING to do with our phone. While internals are pretty much the same Sprint uses CDMA international versions are GSM. Also we have a bigger screen as well as WiMax. Just because the international version is being pushed ICS does not mean we are "close" cause of it. The sprint builds are close themselves but still need some work regardless also no need to post a link yet again to show that the INTERNATIONAL versions of this phone are getting the ICS update EVERYONE knows this already.....

If you are talking about going to the Stock ICS launcher and still having the TW dialer there really is no way around that. Unless you get a theme to change it we are going to be pretty much stuck with what Samsung wants ICS to look like for right now.

Is there a way to tell if there is an actual difference in the modems between the builds? As I understand it, the modem and ROM act independently of each other. Last time I pulled a modem the file was the exact same size as a build that was about 5 versions earlier. So, is there a difference in these modems between the ICS builds?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
byte checker maybe? sfhub was talking about doing a match to the FC07 builds the md5 tar and the 7z and he was looking at the bits and some were different maybe that would work in the same way?

I can't check tonight but I would be interested in seeing. As much tower maintenance as sprint is currently doing it wouldn't be hard to think you were seeing a difference when it was just the towers be updated. All I know is my reception has been horrible for the last week.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jt_hatch:
An MD5 or SHA1 type hash would give you a quick check -- if they come up the same, guaranteed nothing is different between the modems. If they come up different -- next best thing would be something that lets you do a binary diff. I happen to really like WinMerge (http://winmerge.org/) as a good general purpose diff/merge tool that supports binary diffs. A binary diff isn't likely to tell you much about _what_ is different but it will at least give you an idea if its just a few bits here and there or a genuinely different build.
