This is a last resort performed by a few users, it finally made their rotation work followng these steps:

- odin'd to stock el30.

- Verified that auto-rotate worked.

- followed the steps to root via a QBKing video

- Verified that auto-rotate worked.

- Upgraded recovery to CWM 5

- Flashed CleanGB Rom

- Verified that auto-rotate worked.

- Calibrated a few times it seems to have sped it up significantly.

- Flashed CM9 alpha 5 (no gapps yet)

- Verified that auto-rotate worked.

- Flashed gapps

- Verified that auto-rotate worked.

Bit of a long process; though even those that "tried everything" were able to get it working correctly doing this. Good luck!

So...not sure if this is the right place for this post but, just out of curiosity, what is the hold up of upstream implementations i.e. Theme Chooser (NOT an ETA, just something I've been wondering). Not that there isn't some great work going on from BG and KG but I'm not so much into the "Blues" yet. Got me a red case and a killer red wallpaper and fancy red icons and I miss my red themes. I wish I had the time, was good at this stuff and knew how to port things. I miss REALLY miss the Red Star theme I had from Froyo on SRF 1.2, lost it to go to CM7 and then settled on the Mixer Cherry and lost it to go to CM9 :( can't win for winning!!

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelano:
:D

You'd have to ask the CM9 team; not the CM9 Epic 4G team ;) it will come but I would guess the theme chooser is not a high priority at the moment.

patience grasshopper ;)

You could always as BG, KG or zman for something Red to hold you over in the meantime. I'm sure they'd pop something out as red is a frequent theme color base.

Quadrant Standard/HBO GO

I know this is small in the scheme of things, but QS is behaving badly and running really slow. I think it is an app issue dealing with ICS but I am not sure, can anyone confirm?

Also, along the same vein, I believe that HBO GO has not updated and does not work with ICS. It does not show up in the market and when I go to the site via the browser, it indicates that it is already installed and I cannot install or uninstall it (even though it is not installed).

Just looking for confirmation that these are app issues and not CM9 issues. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelano:
I can confirm HBO Go doesn't work (neither does Sprint TV). TV.Com does work. If you're looking for something to watch :)

I just downloaded Quadrant Standard and ran it myself and it worked just fine.

Perhaps you should uninstall and reinstall?

Correct HBO GO has not been updated for Android 4.x yet. Crackle is an awesome TV/movie app (especially if you like the Three Stooges).

Wow I am thinking I must be an idiot because I cannot find anything on the ghost voicemail for beta0. I found 3 apparent fixes for alpha 5 and I tried two of them: force stopping the phone app and the titanium backup one. Both worked for about 5 minutes and then the notification came back. The one I didn't try appeared to be a fix that just removes the icon from up top but it is still there in the pull down tray. There was a new one released for each alpha but I did not see one for beta. This might be acceptable but for whatever reason my phone will continually notify me of the voicemail ever half hour or so (haven't timed it yet). Am I just missing something? Is there another fix out there?

Do you have a voicemail waiting?

Dial your own number and check your voicemail that way; just to be sure.

Then have a look at the customization guide for voice mail in CM9.

I cant remember where i read it at but is it possible to restore app data from a game?? Thanks in advance guys...i came to far in this game lol..
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danipoak:
Definitely not a voicemail in waiting. Checked a few times just to confirm. Luckily on CM7 there was the ignore voicemail setting but as I understand it that is just an upstream issue and has not been implemented yet. There isn't anything about the phantom voicemail in the customization guide, just how to set up GV for you voicemail which I have already done. I have been browsing around casually all day trying to find a fix but it appears there just really isn't anything out there. The best I can come up with is to freeze [VOICEMAIL] Phone.4.0.3-eng Titanium and then just leave it frozen since as soon as I unfreeze it the notification comes back as seen in this thread but I just don't understand all of the ramifications of leaving it frozen. If my voicemails will still get forwarded to GV and I can just log into that and check them then great I will just leave it frozen but if freezing it removes phone functionality then it is a no go.

Do you have titanium backup and if so did you backup the game? If you did then you can just select the app in titanium and click restore data.

Long press on home key.

Swipe the tiles away but does that kill app?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StoneRyno:
That is the recently use apps list. Rather than a list of running apps. If you are wanting to make sure certain apps close after use there is a setting: settings > developer options > kill app back button. Long pressing the back button with this setting turned on will kill the app currently being viewed. I'm no app expert but this shouldn't be needed if an app is properly closing when you tap the back button to exit it. I've never had the need for the feature so perhaps I don't completely understand the purpose.

scrolling for me is fine, do you have a lot of widgets or background processes running?

which launcher? I am using nova (avail in the market) it feels faster to me.

stock kernel?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StoneRyno:
My first attempt at using this new sprint VVM solution was maybe a day or two after starting from a clean slate in much the same way. Odin to stock with the repartitioning and then flashing to the new CM9. With wiping data etc before each. I'm willing to give it another attempt at the same only if I am going to flash over to something else for the reasons posted in the other thread(s) or if a new version of CM9 releases. I tend to get flash burnout if I'm doing it too frequently. Once a week is about all I can take :)

I have reservations about doing google for VM since it's a 50/50 mix of no issues and lots of issues of the people here and my friends who use it. When it comes to VM reliability is a must and sprints VM system has always been 99% reliable for me. The other reservation is since it is 3rd party there is nothing stopping them from making it no longer free and then I'm back to square one putting up with going old school and having the 9016 message as the notification or looking for an alternative and hope that one day I'm not back to square one again.

I first posted this in the main CM9 thread, but I thought I'd post it here, too...

Anybody else having problems with Go Sms in terms of not getting notifications? I can send a text to myself and I'll get the notification, but if someone else texts me, I have to open up the app to actually see that I got it. That means no sound, no vibrate, no icon up in the notif bar. Nothing. As a result, I have to resort to stock Sms app, which I can deal with, but I prefer not to. I've already tried clearing the app's data and uninstalling/reinstalling. This even happened with some of the earlier Alpha builds, too.

Is this a CM9 or Go Sms problem?

I installed (from the Market/Play) a widget (only) that controls the WiFi hotspot (that worked almost not at all- when I toggled it, it would open the WiFi tether settings that I didn't know was there and allow me to select ON. It would almost immediately turn itself off.) and then an app that controlled the hotspot with it's own, slightly different looking controls. The latter worked after a few reboots and some fiddling, but I haven't tried it for any length of time.

Mine didn't seem at all like the ticket description. I was always in an area with known good signal. It eventually worked.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
There is no way for us to tell what your problem is. As you stated it started on MIUI so it is not a CM9 issue. You can try clearing data in the messaging app and see if that helps. Go to the Sprint site and to send a text message and send yourself a text message to see if it is their carrier. If none of that works then Odin back to EL30 stock and try it. If it works there your phone was corrupted somewhere and you need to start from scratch and not restore anything. This method works to fix or troubleshoot ALL issues. Always Odin back to see if it is software, hardware or network. By network I mean if it still don't work call or go to Sprint with your phone on stock EL30.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelano:
Oh ok.

Uninstall any 3rd part tethering apps; reboot to clear any remnance.

After your phone restarts go into settings > more > tethering & portable hot spot. that way you're using it as natively as possible.

If you still have a problem, I'd completely wipe your phone and start from scratch by odin'g back to el30. Don't restore any data or apps and reinstall CM9 and GAPPS (always make sure you're using the proper verison of gapps) and retry.

Sometimes on beta software a clean slate is needed. Even on the best stuff (which this is - i'm not a dev so I can say that :p)

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ragnar:
If you ODIN back to stock el30 rom and it didn't work that gave you the answer. Don't bother trying cm9 or anything else its not software related. It most likely is hardware or sprint issue. You should have left the stock rom and taken your phone to sprint.
