Pretty much my exact same setup, I got tired of using Juice Defender because of the lag to start data back up but when I was using it I was getting around 33 hours. I don't use my phone much except for calls and sms so this works fine for me.

Also, I remember you SemiGamer! :-)
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
I really respect you and all that you do for us but with all due respect, using your phone for more than just a phone on CM9 eats up the battery pretty quickly. Browsing XDA, polling 4 business email accounts, or on the web uses about 50% more battery than it did on CM7. It was mentioned at initial release how it was meant to run on phones with twice the RAM which attributes to it's sluggishness and lower battery life. I know each Alpha just gets better and better and that is awesome but it will be a while if at all that it can compete with something like CM7 for battery life. I am sure with the same setup you have you can get 50% more battery life on CM7.
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
Agreed I pulled 5 hours of display on cm7 and can't hardly pull 2h 45m on cm9 same setup no wakelocks no sync browsing xda undervolting as far as my phone will handle..nothing helps. Had to get a 3500mah to compensate the gigantic battery usage and am lucky to 5h45m on it over 13hrs uptime. However we all use our phones differently and to you @wtogami you may see no difference, however for others it drops like a rock.

Anyways semigamer how'd it go? :D
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
Yeah if you just stare at your phone while the screen is off and dont do anything haha. But even still with my stock battery haha not even 6 to 7 hours it would be dead. with a 3500 it last longer but its not worth it right now.

Once CM9 progresses to CM7 state then it might be worth it. Still ICS requires more ram so yeah your battery is going to die faster because of memory swapping. IDC what anyone says ICS on our phones still would not last as long as GB.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Plus there was no reason to be rude about. I may not be a DEV but I know how Android works with resource swapping and memory clearing.
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
Exactly i don't understand why everyone starts retaliate and then the only way to reply is retaliating back, if not then they pass on by. Its so frustrating

Hi, I noticed ics charges faster.
[Epic 4G General] Zeinzu:
I absolutely love when people who don't build the ****, don't know how to, and couldn't possibly in fine detail explain how it functions argue with the people who do. Cause they like, know better. I'd say if one of the EpicCmTeam says the RAM shortage isn't the cause of the excessive battery drain, he's probably right, as he works directly with providing us with the build, on a level none of us understand or have skill in. Kinda like how certain people wanna argue that they know better than a google engineer. That clearing batterystats does in fact change your battery life despite very explicit explanation from said engineer dictating how that file holds nothing more than the statistics displayed to you about your battery under settings.
[Epic 4G General] SemiGamer:
Welp I'll stay out of you guy's debate for now.. Lol.

One question left, does Voicemail work with CM9? Not getting any voicemails even though I'm told some ppl left me some. Any way to get Visual Voicemail to work?

[Epic 4G General] GuestK00145:
C'mon this type of criticism isn't appropriate.
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
people these days...
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
Actually no its not...no one ever said the ram was the Main issue we simply stated was part of the problem and there's no lying about that. To state that those who don't build but who have used for a long time have no clue about anything is ridiculous.

If I've used a fishing pole forever and have caught numerous fish it would be absurd to say I've no clue how to build one so I have no idea how it works.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
I love when people come back from a ban and learn nothing from and continue to run their mouths and stick their nose where it don't belong when they don't know anything about anything.

If said dev legitimately came on and politely explained that CM9 does not use more RAM, which it does, and explained it doesn't use more resources, which it does, and explained how these things do not result in more battery usage, which they do, and then explained how when we use our smartphones on CM9 for something more than as just a phone (what's the point of using CM9 then, might as well be on Eclair) then maybe no one would argue. Now quiet, grown ups are talking.
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
I have nothing to say.
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
read only memory ;)
[Epic 4G General] wtogami:
Seriously, please stop writing things that you clearly do not understand. It is embarrassing.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Then why don't you explain why CM9 uses up so much battery when it is actually used instead of just insulting people...no disrespect.
[Epic 4G General] wtogami:
Kenny, I apologize, I could have wrote that in a more polite way.

Who said less RAM is the reason for lower battery life? There is technically no reason for this to be true. I am afraid this is bad info that was repeated and changed many times.

I think there is some real difference going on that is causing a very different battery experience for different users. Yesterday my neighbor's kid was playing a game on my dev CM9 Epic for ~3 hours. That drained the 1.5 year old original 1500mah battery to only 72%. Something else is going on if an Epic is draining most of the battery overnight with the screen off and idle.

We need people who experience bad battery life to join us in #epic chat so the devs can walk through obtaining debug information from your phone. We are NOT able to reproduce your bad battery life issues, so we need you to meet us half-way.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Thank you man. I appreciate that. I was not the user with the battery drain. But I do know battery life is not as good as any 2.3 ROM be it CM7 or TW. It is getting better with each Alpha though but don't see it happening real soon, but you guys do surprise me a lot lately. Thanks again.

Edit: that is amazing battery life you quoted. If I am on the XDA app for an hour I am down to 57% which is down from my usual 72%.
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
Glad we got this sorted out, this is how problems should always be solved :D

[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
There is a tips thread in this subforum with lots of info. Easy answer I got voicemail working but not the visual part by restoring app and data with Titanium. I get a text from 9016 to let me know I have a voicemail. If that doesn't work for you grab Visual Voicemail Plus from the market...works great.

[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
Hi,

Got a HTC Sensation a couple weeks ago.

Installed CM7 alpha 10 with Bricked 1.6 Kernel, upgraded radio to the one suggested in CM7 thread.

I can't receive MMS messages. The message comes but it fails to download the attachment.

I am with Fido in Toronto, Canada. The phone was initially a Bell phone. I unlocked it via "method 2".

3G works fine, phonecalls work fine, SMS works fine. I tried all the APN settings I could find on the internet. I called fido and they couldn't do anything.

Could it be a problem with the phone? If not, what should I look at?
[HTC Sensation] Spr33y:
Check that your Radio matches your RIL via the sticked thread in the Android development section. If data works on your phone then it's most likely your APN mms settings.
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
Yes, data works. (So can't be RIL issue?)

I tried all the MMS APN configurations I could find on the internet for Fido. I even tried the ones that worked on my Motorola Milestone. Still can't download the attachment.
[HTC Sensation] Spr33y:
Never said it can't be RIL. Go into Settings->About Phone. What is the baseband listed?

Also, have you had someone else send you a different MMS and see if it works? Could be a problem with that specific MMS.
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
10.56.9035.00P_10.14.9035.01_M

Yes, a few people tried.
[HTC Sensation] finsilva:
I had the same issue on Rogers and I figured out that under the APN settings, you need to just put "*"(without the quotations). Not sure if that will work for you or not, but it can't hurt to try. Make sure to reboot after applying the APN settings.
[HTC Sensation] Spr33y:
Open up terminal emulator and input this: getprop "gsm.version.ril-impl"

What does it print out?
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
Under which APN setting??
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
HTC-RIL 2.2.0173HMQ (Aug 8 2011, 15:52:13)
[HTC Sensation] Spr33y:
Well your RIL doesn't match your radio. You should be using the 10.58 radio with this RIL.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1202867

Though I heard about that adding the asterix to APN Type has fixed issues in the past. Remember to reboot after trying. Do a little bit more research into it, I'm not entirely sure...
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
Thanks man. I never really thought about RILs before. So many things to think about. Firmware, Radio, RIL, Kernel, ROM...

I went to the Radio thread and it was saying to just flash the one I did. After reading a bit about RILs, I think it would be best to match them. But is it better to flash another radio, or another RIL?

From: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1202867

How did I end up with a mismatch?
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
Dammit. I flashed the HTC-RIL_2.2.0169HMQ_Mount.zip RIL to match the radio I have, from:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22609618&postcount=313

Now my baseband version says unknown and no signal. I flashed in recovery. Help?
[HTC Sensation] Spr33y:
Did you mount system in recovery before flashing?
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
No, I went to apply update or install zip (and then you choose which one off the sd card). Can you tell me how to do it exactly? Also, I thought since they were "repackaged" you wouldn't have to.

EDIT: just tried with mounting system first. Still nothing. I even tried re-flashing the radio. Same thing. Baseband unknown.
[HTC Sensation] Spr33y:
Errrrr. You have me stumped haha. You did flash the radio through fastboot/h-boot through right? Sorry, I can't be of much help
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
Yup. I'm trying a different radio+RIL now...wish me luck. After I flash the radio, it won't boot. I have to clear cache. That always happend though.
[HTC Sensation] Spr33y:
Yeah, the booting after flashing the radio is a known bug.
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
Ok, the new radio+RIL is doing the same thing. Baseband version shows unknown and no signal (obviously). Something about how I'm flashing the RIL is wrong...

EDIT: Doing nandroid restore until someone has a better suggestion :(
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
So get this. Nandroid restored my old RIL files. And those happen to match the last radio I flashed, 10.58. So now radio and RILs supposedly match. Still can't download mms attachment. Where can I try this * fix??
[HTC Sensation] Spr33y:
From some quick googling, it looks like you're supposed to change APN type to just a single "*"
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
Didn't work :( , tried with a few apns

...how can I diagnose this...
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
Bump
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
Did you have the same problem? MMS doesn't show up in manage applications (all). I think it does in titanium backup. Should I try that?
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
Cleared data of "messaging" under "all" installed apps. Still not working.

Bumpppp grrr
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
Bump...still having problems with this
[Atrix 4G General] slojko:
Every time I go from my school to my house(and vice versa) I have to restart my phone or I can't load any web pages (besides Google,Facebook,twitter) I have tested this everyday for a couple months and the only solution I have is that my school uses a different tower than my house does ( roughly 5 miles away).

Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] nabil_mac1:
hi could you describe the situation more,which radio which ROM, is it Atrix 4g AT&T or int,
[Atrix 4G General] slojko:
i have been using the newest radio for AT&T but i havent installed one in like a month though. this happens on every rom for the atrix, thats why i am thinking its the towers.
[Atrix 4G General] Bizshmow:
Rom shouldn't matter too much as far as I'm aware. Beyond your conclusion of it being the towers, I can't think of other possible problems. Only possible solution I can think of is re-flashing the radio (if you haven't yet) or flashing back one (if the problem only exists on the the newest), assuming you aren't on a stock rom. If you are on stock, I'm sorry to not be of much help =/.
[Atrix 4G General] slojko:
Happened again today, maybe its because there are 4000 kids on campus at all times
[Atrix 4G General] oaliaso:
I have to reboot to get my phone to charge off a USB cord connected to a computer. Using Neutrino 2.1, haven't bothered upping to 2.2... need something more stable and full featured.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
I was using the 37P radio until today when I realised I was not getting certain web pages as you describe. I couldn't get XDA to connect unless I went to WiFi. Went back to 36P radio and all is well again. I think the 37P radio is borked!

Go back to 36P radio and you will be good.

---------- Post added at 06:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 PM ----------

This has nothing to do with the threads subject. Why is it here?
[Atrix 4G General] KH_Lionheart:
I recently upgraded to the .37p radio and have the same problem when my phone switches from 2g to h+ which happens a lot where I live. I just use the mobile data toggle button to turn it off and on and it works again. Hope this helps, it's much faster than rebooting and accomplishes the same thing.

[Xoom General] Andy:
Evening all.

As the Xoom 2 and its variants do not yet have a dedicated forum, could all threads relating to the Xoom 2 have a [XOOM 2] Tag added to the thread title.

This will firstly avoid confusion to the original Xoom users and Xoom 2 users alike.

And, will enable a speedy transfer of all Xoom 2 related threads to the relevant section.

An example of a thread title follows.

[XOOM 2] Tips & Tricks .....

For threads that are only relevant to the Xoom 2 and variants and that do not contain the tag could users post a link to the thread here & I will add the tag manually, once added I will remove the link.

No other types of replies please.

Many thanks for your co-operation.

But loyalty to is something that doesn't mean much anymore..I read where Google sold Motorola, and the Motorola name will die..For me..I will purchase a device as long as the name Motorola is on the device, and is compatible with the current systems..including another one of these things..

And I realize..it's not a MUST to have anything else..

I have been with Motorola devices for a long time. in fact the devices from Moto are my all time fav's. After having my Xyboard 10.1 from VZW, i was thinkin im sure there will be development, but was and still am so dissapointed to see almost no rom or Kernel Development.

Still keeping the hopes alive. waiting for a miracle to happen, but cant some developer help us to port Xoom2 rom on Xyboard, well i am in India and careless of LTE if that is going to be broken...

[Xoom General] panosx:
d

My first x2me had it so I went to the store to get a replacement. The new one had stripes(!) all over the screen even when turned off..

I exchanged it again with one that had a bleeding problem (but not that much as the first one). I also cheked a demo unit at another store which had the stripes issue.. You got to love moto..

On the other hand, I think that fixing the backlight bleed is a relatively easy task (at least in other devices), so maybe you can send it for repair.
