Foursquare and a few other apps broke with the Linaro patches. Next build will fix this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Thanks for the quick update on that Warren.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MrEpic:
I love this rom too much to give up on it but uhhh im having charging problems. Itll show 100 percent..which then it will stop charging i believe....but when i unplug it..it shows otherwise forcing me to unplug and plug again during charge...any suggestions? Reflash without wipe maybe?? Thanks in advance..once again..love the rom

SVOX Classic TTS will not work

My GPS (Google Navigation) will not use the SVOX voices. I have set SVOX as the default text to speech app and Nav still goes with stock. Is it CM9 or am I missing some place other than system settings to set the default voice app?
[Epic 4G Android Development] know.patience:
I've also seen the blank status bar in association with BetterBatteryStats...
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
The blank pull-down is not a theme issue. I've seen in on b4 & saw it yesterday running b5pre1.

It has happened running both Nyan & Stock kernels, if that makes any difference.

Seems like I have to wait a few seconds, or turn my screen on/off a to get it back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pvtjoker42:
I had the toggles disappear when i had BBS installed too. removed it after finding that it sucked up a decent amount of battery on it's own and haven't had the toggles disappear since.

Exactly what update r u talking about? What kernel elare u using? Please be more specific
[Epic 4G Android Development] roguejam:
Agreed. Beta 4 is giving me amazing battery life, after moderate usage for 13 hours and I still have 64% battery life.
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
With pre-beta 5 I have been getting great battery life as well. I swapped out batteries shortly before going to bed I was at 97%, five hours later when I woke up I was at 95%. Amazing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
You guys with the amazing battery life, are you running JuiceDefender or disabling data when not in use? Just curious.
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
I am using JD to turn off things.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Restola:
Nothing here, just running well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
Beta5 Pre1 the MMS fix version. Stock. I don't run third party kernels or mods. I run the rom just as the devs here built it.

No juice defender, no task killer, no auto starts, no battery saving apps of any kind, I don't turn off data or sync, I use notifications for the things I need and shut them off for the things I don't.

Short version, I just run the rom, and battery has been fantastic on the latest builds. Still a few bugs to iron out but I look forward to when they are all figured out.

Currently I'm at 70% with an hour and a half screen on time, 30 minutes of calls, some texts, an hour with IM+Pro running, and various web browsing/Tapatalk/Facebook via Friendcaster.

2 QuestionS!!

I do have a question fo regarding the text messenger on BETA4. In the gingerbread rom, you could swipe the persons name to the left to CALL or RIght to TEXT, but in this rom you have to open up the persons text conversation to call them. Is there any themes or mods to fix this or change the colors.

So far that is my only complaint other then you stating not to do a restore of DATA from Clockwork. I was wondering about doing a restore from TITANIUM BACK UP THOUGH as i had 3 diff versions of ANGRY BIRDS and now have lost all the data. I appreciate your help, and again, amazing ROM!!! THanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
That feature is a feature of Touchwiz. I myself successfully restored my apps using TB but I was very selective with what I attempted to restore and it isn't recommended. If you choose to it's at your own risk. If you run into any issues just don't blame the rom.

[Epic 4G Android Development] StoneRyno:
Can anyone confirm that android OS shows significantly less keep awake time? I'm at 1.5 hours screen on time, 10.5 hours on battery, with 40% battery left. And android OS keep awake time is 58 mins. Normally this is 2-3 times as much as the screen on time in past builds. I'm currently on beta4.

I haven't been using JD or any other battery savings apps. And typically get 18(moderate)-24(light) hours out of a full charge after light (30-40 mins screen on) to moderate (1-1.5 hrs screen on) use. Heavy use (2+ hrs screen on) I typically will get as low as 12 hours out of a full charge. A typical day for me is moderate use. If i will be in a low signal area for a long time I will use JD to minimize drain from time without signal by keeping data off most of the time.

I do not use Juice Defender and I keep data on all the time (WiFi Always On, seems to work better for me). I am always logged into Google Talk, and my work email goes through Gmail, so I froze the mail exchange services. I also have toyed with the limits for the auto-brightness, to best fit my workplace lighting.

Similar to the CM9 battery guide, I have disabled all notifications, and I use Autostarts to limit some of the automatically starting stuff that I rarely/never use. If I need to use it, I'll start it up manually.

Hello......I'm loving this rom, took a little getting used to coming from a basically stock rom but it has been going very smoothly especially w/ all of the documentation about tweaks and settings.....Thank you!

Now w/ that being said, I've come across a bug or irritation this morning that I have not figured out yet, nor have I had a chance to scan the almost 300 pages in this thread to find the answer.....my phone's dialer has an issue. It does not matter if I'm picking a # from my contacts, or typing in a new # on the keypad or picking from one of the #'s I've recently dialed....it keeps redialing the last # I called and this is becoming extremely frustrating. Has anybody else had this issue and is there a fix? Thank you.....Todd
[Epic 4G Android Development] Kafluke:
Please tell me how your logic works.

- I have two identical Epic 4g's

- Both phones vibration is working perfectly on a gingerbread ROM

- I flash both phones with CM9 (from this thread)

- One of the phones vibration is now extremely week.

Please help me draw the conclusion where this is a bad phone. Remember, the vibration problems did NOT occur until I flashed it with this ROM. How could I have a faulty device if it was working perfectly PRIOR to flashing this CM9 ROM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] twtcad:
Just a thought.....but reflash the faulty phone w/ the old rom to see if it is fixed.....it could have been a bad flash or reflash the cm9. I'm not saying this will fix it.....just a thought and trying to help!
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
The key is that, when you put the SAME rom on IDENTICAL phones, you do NOT get IDENTICAL results ;)

How can it be a faulty rom if you're the only one reporting weak vibration with said rom, and on only 50% of your devices? I could understand your belief, if it affected both of your phones the same way - that is, after all, the logic that you used to determine that your GB rom of choice is NOT broken - so why is that logic a one-way street?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Lawyered!
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Have you tried flashing back to the initial ROM to see if the vibration is still the same on that one?

I have a hunch that the vibration coincidentally started going bad around the time you flashed CM9. Mine went kaput out of the blue last December, had to ship it in for a replacement part.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Kafluke:
I don't doubt that the ROM is fine. I've been running it on another phone for some time. I'm trying to figure out what may went wrong with the install or some other config that might have broken it.

It's silly to assume that it's the device when it worked prior to flashing and then make the conclusion that it was just coincidental. That's just sloppy troubleshooting.

(flashing back to old ROM for testing now)
[Epic 4G Android Development] vita10gy:
Possibly, but assuming the other way is a post hoc ergo propter hoc error.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
It seems like he just doesn't want to hear any evidence that doesn't support his predetermined conclusion that the problem is software-related (and therefore fixable at no cost). I can understand that, but denial won't change the problem if it does turn out to be hardware - it will only cause him to live with the faulty hardware longer before he accepts and replaces it - his loss entirely ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Kafluke:
Look people, it works after flashing the old gingerbread ROM back to the phone. There, is that settled now? Can we stop arguing over semantics and get back to the original question?

Good hell, this is why I try not to post in forums anymore.

(MOD sensored)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Restola:
Well gosh that's a pretty sensitive guy right there. :confused:

Good thing no one actually said anything rude or we might have a shooting rampage on the news somewhere.

Kafluke, if you haven't jumped off a bridge yet, please consider that it's possible that no one knows the answer. It doesn't make sense that the same hardware would respond differently to the same software. Except we know there are often big differences in how phones respond and maybe there just isn't a solution.

If you have jumped off a bridge, hopefully you started re-loading the forum before you jumped to read this because there's a good chance Sprint's coverage where you are at blows.

Bluetooth Testing

As as been mentioned previously in this thread, bluetooth is hit or miss. When I start my car it is slower to connect and unless plugged in, does disconnect constantly and reconnect constantly. That being said, I haven't found any problems in the rest of the package. I first installed CM9 back in it's alpha days and quickly removed it. The stability of this Beta version is much better and the functionality is on par with many "stable" distro's out there. Thank you all for the hard work! I am running the daily now so that if there are any bluetooth testing that needs to be done, hit me up.

Battery improvement in nightlys > 6/18

I've seen reports of improved battery life in this thread and in the G+ posts. Now that I think about it I see such reports every time there is a new ROM to install. Point is, I'm not seeing it. I did a clean install of n6.19, did nearly every suggestion on the battery optimization guide and I'm still getting the same results as I've always had running CM9 on the Epic. My use yields 12 to 16 hours (2 hours screen) on the Samsung 1800mAh. Was there any reason to suspect that battery life would improve with the recent nightlies? I see no mention of it in the change logs or from the devs here or on G+.

Edit: I doubled back and see that others were talking about improvements to battery life in beta4 and beta5. Still my observation is that battery life has been consistent and there have been no changes that affect battery consumption. wtogami has been good about pointing out changes that may improve battery performance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
I took screenshots of what I got last night, but it reads as 2h 10m screen on time, 20h 48m time off charger. This was with 7% left.

I have gotten better with my 1800Mah though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rprockey:
But is that different from previous builds?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chuman72486:
I've only seen huge improvements on battery life on my phone. Even back on Stock, my 3500mAh extended battery barely lasted me 8hrs on standby, but since CM9, that same battery is still above 50% after about 10 hours, even getting almost 2hrs of use while running my n64 emulator, with Bluetooth on linked to a Wii Remote.

My only complaint at this point was the change to Apollo for the music app. I can't stand it and ended up using Titanium Backup to remove Apollo and restore the default Music app from my CM9 Beta3 backup. The default Music app works perfectly fine in Beta4 and I've seen no problems from removing Apollo.

If there was anything I could ask to add, if possible, is Kernel level support for iPhone style headsets. I have a set of iBeats and can't use any of the remote features. According to resources online, it would either take physically modifying my headset's remote, or a low level driver mod to make the phone recognize the signals from an iPhone headset.

I have noticed a few minor issues in regards to low battery situations. First, the low and critical battery alerts happen at 14% and 4% instead of 15% and 5%. Second, the screen does not automatically dim at <10% like most Roms, causing the screen to act weird in situations where the screen is mostly white. Third, and I'm not sure if it's more a problem with my extended battery or the rom, when the battery is below 15% and the screen is off, usually immediately after turning the screen off, the phone suddenly reports 0% battery and shuts down. When I turn it back on, it's still at like 12%. It usually happens that I'll be checking a text message or email and the battery will report like 13%. I'll hit the power button to put the phone to sleep and put the phone in my pocket. Within about 3 seconds, I'll hear the critical battery beep and then a moment later feel the vibration of the phone shutting down. When I turn the phone back on later, it starts up reporting 11%. It doesn't happen every time, but it's more common if the battery is below 10% before I turn the screen off.

[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
For me it is yes... Typically I would get some random wake lock and my phone would be down and out in anywhere from 12 - 16 hours. Now I am not switching out either my 1500 or my 1800 before 20 - 24 hours.
[Epic 4G Android Development] offtohavasu:
Here's a new one. Haven't seen it mentioned yet. On Pre 5 and recently nightly, if I click on a mp3, it says "No application available to open this file". Also, get get Google Voice Messages because of this. I have to save the file then open in Apollo.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 512jmann10:
Will definitely try this rom out for my mom's phone to leave her in awe. Why spend money stupidly on a new buggy device, buy all new accessories, spend time rooting and tying myself to a new contract, when we can just simply just root our devices and make them badass! :) How i love this androids. Every single one of them! Great works guys keep it up!
[Epic 4G Android Development] StoneRyno:
Same here I'm glad these guys (and gals?) have taken their time and brought us CM (more specifically CM9 since it's ICS). I'm beginning to wonder if there will ever be a top end slider ever again. Seems like the epic was the last one. Of course the screen size also has to be 4" or more too. Anything less is just not enough screen real estate for web browsing or anything else that has a lot of content to display.

Cyanogen Mod Beta 0, stock kernel, EI22. I like my Ice Cream Sandwich!
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
If it fixes the problem then you should not restore from a nandroid since it will have the wifi corruption as well. Titanium will be your best bet...no system data.

has anyone tried using this rom while docked and with a alarm setup?

I tried it the other day but the alarm sound came from the phone instead of the speakers attached to the dock. Maybe I did something wrong. I do not know I had the redirect app, and music and other audio came through the speakers.

Curious if anyone else has run across this.

By the way love the rom first time I tried it and that was my only issue.

@people who talked bad

Please do not talk bad about our amazing CM developers when you use their work. Especially in their own thread.

I have done my fair share of bashing due to the fact that they actively insult my work. But it is best to keep everything private or in your own thread. Do not talk bad about the devs here. Not all of them are bad. Only a couple are drama starters.

I don't have the desk dock but on my car dock (using Car Home app) the redirect didn't work the first time I connected to it.

Market

I have flashed the latest gaaps twice, along with the beta, and yet Market is missing. Anyone else?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ruhai Hu:
Yeah I tried re opening it and closing the app. Not to mention rebooting the phone. I have already swapped back to old setup. Going to redo cm9 here in next day or so to give it a try again. Since I use my phone as a alarm with the dock and speakers attached. Kinda sucked that I couldn't get it to work.

If you could try it docked with a alarm clock set to go off a minute later? Doubt it makes a difference between desk and car I have both. Didn't try the alarm on car don't use it there just use it for audio out on car one.

off topic:

I get power noise from my car dock when power is attached not sure if that is dock or charger yet. Need to figure it out because it is very noticeable when playing some music and between songs.

Edit: screenshot
[Epic 4G Android Development] leftkidney:
well I would like to see the keyboard timeout to be the same as the screen, I understand that changing things coded into the framework is something that can cause major problems but this is a "timer" and from what little I know about this type of coding there should be a sorta infinite window that one could put into the "timer" part, probably limited to 8 numbers maybe 6 if there is some 2bit header or something before the timer part

I have wrote code for xbmc and excuter3 chips for the original xbox mod chips and there are "timers" in things for the menus and such and usually it was changeable to whatever would fit in the 1byte section being a total of 8 numbers

am I way off for this type of coding, like I said its been a few years and I am rusty but I think I will get into coding again and maybe learn more about whats running on my phone - who knows maybe I will start submitting code

another person was saying that the ".com key" cant be implemented because it was a TW feature, I thought that is sorta strange because its acting like a "Tab" key now and how hard could it be to just change that small thing, seeing as almost no other phones have physical keyboards this shouldnt be a problem if it was left that way for all of CM9 builds for different hardware
