With pre 5, I also believe I'm getting better battery life. Seems that the phone is staying asleep better while the screen is off. I haven't changed anything else on my phone or any habits when I updated to pre 5. For me 4 had introduced several random reboots that I never had before and I was constantly prompted if I'd like to close or report on apps that weren't responding. The prompts were coming up very prematurely. I usually clicked wait and all was well. Updating to pre 5 seems to have corrected all that again. PS, I always check my md5 on the file right on my phone after download.

Thanks devs!!

Given Android's heritage as a linux derivative, the keyboard code is based on standard computers.

Look at any computer keyboard for the tab key

Now look for the standardized '.com' key - see the difference?

Besides, 'tab' is sent as a single character code, so it works like any other key - press a button, get a single character. This is impossible to do with '.com' because it inherently requires four character codes in sequence. That (non-standard) character sequence would have to be coded into the rom before it could be casually linked to a button.

That's how hard it could be to just change that "small" thing ;)

Has anyone noticed differences on the nightlies since the MMS fix build? All the file sizes are exactly the same, so I assume they are just scheduled builds without changes.

I haven't noticed anything other than my phone is EPIC on the 6/20/12 build.

I'm running beta 4 and loving it. I tried the daily build from the 19th and noticed a peculiar thing with google voice. If I use the app to listen to a message it plays fine. Button if I access through the integrated call history it bombs out and doesn't play.

Anyone else seeing this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I'm also using the nightly from the 19th but I'm not sure what you mean about the call history...if you can explain the steps in how to get there, I can leave myself a voicemail and check it out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
You can integrate your voicemails in google voice into your call history so it actually shows the voicemail able to be played right from your call history tab instead of having to access the app.

I noticed this as well. Doesn't even force close, it just exits back to homescreen. For now I've disabled the option till it's sorted out.

[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Huh, I didn't even know it was an option, but I see where you can enable it. Sounds like it might be useful, but I guess I normally just pull down the notification bar and click the notification so it takes me right to the app.

Good to know either way.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
I couldn't figure out why a bunch of my contacts disappeared after I re-installed Win7 on my laptop... so I searched and found that this is an issue that happened before. I looked an my Contacts hadn't synced for the last five days. Nothing would make them manually sync. Finally, I uninstalled and re-installed the Gmail account and now everything synced. But I'll be keeping an eye on it to see if it stays that way.

I LOL'd

On my clean install of 9-20120619-NIGHTLY-epicmtd, I setup and installed Google Voice. For me I don't get the voicemail in the call log. Went to phone, Settings, Voicemail service and WHa? My carrier is the only option. No Google Voice option to be had.

Hope that helps.

Edit: Now I see that the setting is in Voice, Settings, Voicemail display. Is my recall incorrect? I thought there was an option under phone settings for Google Voice.

Volume Rocker

Any one else notice the the volume rocker not working when the proximity sensor is activated in nightly 6/18 or similar build?

Edit: I see it's been reported on the bug tracker, but I haven't noticed the problem in build up to beta3, no on the nightly I have the problem.

Edit2: I disabled System Settings, Sound, Volume rocker music control, and now I can adjust my in-call volume the the proximity sensor activated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] v8bait:
Hello, been enjoying the ROM a while now, on Beta4. I have only experienced a couple of random bugs that I thought I would report.

Firstly, sometimes when I exit navigation or maps, the GPS symbol remains active. Even after killing all the apps it stays on until I physically turn the GPS off. This only happens sometimes and doesn't really effect much.

A larger problem happens occasionally after I take pictures. Say I take a photo at 80% battery life and then put the phone in my pocket, an hour or so later the phone is getting noticably warmer. When I unlock it, I notice it's at 40% or less battery. In these situations, even if I plug it in, there is still a major power drain and it basically doesn't charge but gets very hot. A reboot fixes it. This has happend maybe 3-4 times since beta 4 came out, and only after messing with the camera as far as I can tell.

Keep up the great work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] rprockey:
I don't know about this GPS problem. You could search the issue tracker to see if someone else has reported it. http://code.google.com/p/epiccm/iss... Type Status Priority Milestone Owner Summary

Quote from the Known Causes of Battery Drain section of the Battery Optimization Guide

http://epiccm.blogspot.com/2012/03/battery-optimization-guide.html

"Camera has been known to sometimes leave the camera device on even after the app is no longer running. It might be if you turn off the screen while the camera is in preview mode. This might be the reason why Samsung camera does not allow you to turn off the screen while the camera app is running."

Edit: LOL the paragraph after the one I quoted, addresses your first problem.

"Google Maps uses the GPS device to find its location. It has been seen to leave the GPS device enabled after it is no longer needed. It is unclear if manually disabling GPS turns it off."

I'd like to take this opportunity to recognize this dev team for the great job they do with documentation. Especially wtogami, Thank you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] StoneRyno:
Do you know where at this has to be coded? I see in the KL file from stock that this key is mapped with SYMBOL. I had expected to find an entry in the stock KCM labeled SYMBOL but there is none. So the mapping must point to another file or something. Unlike the single character keys which seem to all point to the KCM file for what character they output. I thought perhaps simply changing the entry for TAB in KCM to ".com" instread of "\t" would let it output .com but that didn't work. And if you change the KL entry to SYMBOL typing with the HW KB outputs all the wrong characters when pressing keys. So I'm not sure what this indicates as far as what would need to be edited for this functionality to be added to that key. I seem to recall reading a google reference material on key mapping that included info for a .com key but can't find it now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
The .com function would be outside of the keymapping. It would listen for a specific keycode, SYMBOL in the case of TW roms, which would cause it to output the keycodes for the four characters in '.com' to the active input.

The keymap doesn't need to be altered at all, as long as the .com key is mapped to a keycode you won't need for anything else. The function could be designed to intercept the letter 'q' if you preferred - the point is that the keymap and actual keycode are basically irrelevant. The programmr needs to know what code to intercept, but that's the extent of it.

I've been meaning to set up my development environment, and I'm not going anywhere for a few days... (got the house to myself, good time to kick the nicotine, cold turkey - no one around for me to murder, lol) maybe I'll be able to find out something more helpful than just theory, lol

Since people have been sharing...wtf is up with my android os taking all my battery? Most of you its screen time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaggettBeaver:
There are some things I like about CM9, and there are UI changes that I think make operation more logical.

But there are a lot of UI issues that I find extremely annoying. For example, Titanium works entirely differently on CM9. The menu goes straight to the "more" options, and you access the other functions through icons on the top bar that are all but meaningless to me. I figured out how to use them, but it's about as intuitive as advanced calculus.

What is responsible for these changes? Android 4.0.4? This ROM? Titanium?

If it's Android 4.0.4, then I have a feeling I'm not going to like ICS.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Tomcat5:
Lots of apps look different on ICS than Froyo. Such as TB or Wifi Analyzer.

Donating hardware - how/who?

I've upgraded from my epic to a AT&T Note, and was considering donating my old phone to the CM9 team. What is the best way to go about getting it to somebody who needs one on the dev team?

DISCLOSURE: It has a cracked screen. One nearly invislble crack (only really stands out when you look at it from a strong up or down angle - head on it's all but impossible to tell) running from upper left to middle right on the screen. Still works 100%, but rather than put the money into insurance claim on the phone I used it to upgrade.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
That'd be android 4.0.4. Android is trying to move away from the hardware menu button, so they're trying to add on screen menus. Your next phone will actually be built for the OS version it runs, so it'll feel right then.

~E.R.A.
[Epic 4G Android Development] StoneRyno:
I figured the code was outside the keymap since I didn't see it in either of the files. I guess I don't fully understand what the two files (KCM and KL) related to the keymap do exactly. I am curious though where at the code is for what that key does. Especially since changing the KL file to SYMBOL from TAB basically makes the HW KB useless because every key outputs the wrong thing. And that has me curious as to why. I had expected that a simple change like that would just break the one key so that it did nothing and the rest continue to work as designed. I downloaded the FC09 source from samsung but was overwhelmed with the directory structure and file names lack of indicators of what they are for. I couldn't even begin figure out where to start looking at the code.

After a day of lighter use and some tweaks to the Automatic backlight options, I also see improved battery performance. 2% per hour on standby and 4 -6% during hours of moderate use.

Set Serial Number

Does anyone know how to set the serial number? My serial number displays unknown and is needed for an app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] amateurhack:
You know, you might have a good idea there to post in the battery optimization discussion thread. I have had a lot of success extending my battery life by keeping my screen brightness as low as possible. But I generally do it manually. It would be cool to have someone go over the specific settings they use, why they use them, and how the different settings worked. I haven't had the time to experiment with them to figure them out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] amateurhack:
The serial number for your phone? Pull the battery. It's printed there in hex and in decimal.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nascentone:
Thanks, but if I look in Settings>About Phone the Serial Number shows unknown. I have an application that needs the serial number to run. I figured there has to be a way to set the serial number, in the software, but couldn't figure it out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] StoneRyno:
Why does an app need the devices serial number to run? The reason I ask is because I'm paranoid to an extend on security and this sort of triggers that paranoia sense of mine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xplus93:
does anybody know when the headset button will work? I remember there was a fix for it. But when I tried it, it was only temporary. Will it eventually be implemented, I really need it for when I ride my bike.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nascentone:
It is Good for Enterprise, and can only be installed on one device at a time. If the serial number on the device is different it won't work. Since the serial number is unknown in the Rom it is different and won't install.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
Edit your build prop to represent what you need it to for it to work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
I would have hoped that they would pick a better design for the security checks... if they can be circumvented as easily as the copyright protection from the 90's, then I would definitely not trust the rest of the app to securely store my serial number (or phone number, or first name, or even the first letter of the state I live in, for that matter... have I over-emphasized the point enough yet? Lol)
[Epic 4G Android Development] vita10gy:
Working with clients that are paranoid that their stuff is going to be stolen by their competition, usually because they probably stole a lot of it from their competition, most clients are satisfied with solutions* that only stymies (but also makes it a pain for) the low level idiots.

* Since a "real" solution isn't always possible. "I want people to to be able to download this MP3 so they can listen to it on any device they own while on a plane, but I don't want them to be able to share it with a friend."
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
So it's more of a placebo to provide a false sense of security?

And to the user looking for serial numbers - why would it need a device-specific serial number in addition to the email and PIN combination that it asks for in the beginning? The email-and-pin is portable, device independant. Why would they also use a device-dependant security scheme? Either one makes the other redundant... my guess is that you're confused (because I'm trying not to be the cynic who suggests that you're being less than honest, lol)
[Epic 4G Android Development] nascentone:
The serial number was just a guess based on a help document from Good. I can't copy the url, since I haven't posted enough times, but if you Google "good for enterprise has already been installed on another device" without the quotes, you will see the error.

Problem:

Issue: Error: "This handheld has already been setup for another user. Contact your IT administrator"

How/When Found: During OTA Provisioning

Expected Result: OTA succeeds

Actual Result: OTA fails with error

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

Environment:

Product: Good for Enterprise

Setup/Configuration: ALL

Connector: ALL

Component: Good Client

Device platform: ALL

Mail Server version: ALL

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

Remedy:

Remove device from GMC

Remove the user from the GMC.

Go to Setting tab and select 'Run Consistency Check' button.

Remove the inconsistency.(You may have to restart the Good Messaging Service)

Re-add the user to the GMC

Redo the OTA Provision

If the above does not work:

Remove user from GMC

Stop services and look for cache folder for affected user (if present, delete it)

Repair GMC and GMM

Run consistency check and remove if there are any

Readd user to GMC

Redo OTA

If error still occurs:

Gather device details (Serial number of device, UDID number Answer 648 if iOS )

Contact Support for Investigation

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

Root Cause:

Database Inconsistency for the user account in question.

Device still provisioned for another user.

I took a look at the build.prop file and did not see an entry for Serial Number. I may just give up for now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Sounds like it should be fixable by contacting the IT system admin... no need to hack the install, that's the method you use when you don't have permission to access whatever yu're tring to access ;)
