There is also a battery optimization thread here on xda listed in the op.

Battery life is very much dependent upon many different interactions. I have much better battery life on cm9 than I did on any stock or gingerbread-based rom, and that due to being able to better control settings directly related to how I use my phone most of the time, at least as far as I know.

Just load it up and give it a spin. If you like using it, then see how your battery does, and try to tweak it. If you don't like using it, then the battery life would be a non-issue in my mind.

backlight on keyboard doesnt work..is there a fix?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
Mine stopped. Now it works again, after reboot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lmf:
If you find out a workaround / fix for this please post. Ill do the same. Roaming seems to work fine, I use either the temp bootable rom zip to update qpst roaming files or do a ota update. I can't figure out why cm9 phone status shows mobile connection connected and disconnected every 5 seconds. It also shows an ip address on the status page starting with 70.xx.xx.xx

I love cm9 because of the excellent memory management hopefully this can be sorted out.

When I used the phone to tether or 4g the battery would die in a matter of minutes or reboot and the battery would go from 50 percent and above down to 10 percent. I was on EL30 modem. I changed it over to FC09 modem and it seems to have cleared the problem. Dont know if this will help anyone but I thought I would post it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
That is a battery stats bug. Remove battery. Wait 5 minutes and boot back up and your percent should be back to about 50%. It is rebooting due to heat.
[Epic 4G Android Development] amateurhack:
Is it really a bug? Or is it just that batteries voltage is affected by heat, so the phone interprets it as being discharged?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Both. Sometimes my phone can be nice and cool and if I reboot my phone below 60% half the time it will falsely drop to around 15%. Rebooting with a charger on fixes it or the battery pull mentione above.

does anyone know if this will eventually receive an update to implement the following CM7 features?

- choose what holding down the menu/home/search key does

- screen on and screen off CRT animations

- overscroll effect

etc?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Speaking from my own finals ridden mind, I've no idea. Though watching review.cyanogenmod.com would bring you some benefits in getting an idea what is being worked on, as CM team members tend to be doing their own things whether it have to do with framework, or specific device and apps within ICS, so I'm sure once more aspects of framework are implemented the features you're looking forward to will be put into effect. I know it's not much, but it gives you something to look into.
[Epic 4G Android Development] CapsLockKey:
CM9 already has CRT off and overscroll effect.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stevie13.xo:
Overscroll effect.. where???
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
Personally I hate having one (crt off) without a choice to use the other (crt on) or choice to enable/disable both. To me it looks weird having "just" crt off.

I think he means "options" for the overscroll, not just "having" overscroll.

oops, the ip was actually a sprint ip.. so your right, something is wrong with the way cm9 roams, even though its been programmed with qpst with a pageplus/verizon prl,and even a OTA roaming update using a temp FC09 or EL30 boot image. I been playing with FC09 roms, like ThunderHawk, Sleeperrom, and prior I been back to using CleanGB, voice roaming and data works in seconds, with the 3g icon popping up. FC09 roms, same, works great. Also with cm9, i used both EL30 and FC09 modems, many kernels, but nada on data. I remember data worked sporatically on cm9 beta 2, but now thinking back, im not even sure if it worked, because I dont use it much, since im always on wifi, so I flashed cm9 beta 2, and could not get data to work. Tried double checking settings in QPST as well. When I get a chance Ill see if I can send in some type of dev ticket, i never dug around cm9's website/blog to see if there is one, but ill put one in i guess

Sprint VVM

has anyone noticed if the sprint VVM works with this mod? All the previous versions, when you scrolled up or down on the Sprint VVM app, it just blurred the text in to an unreadable screen.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
So far, it's been working like a charm.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mookiemoo:
WOW, So the scrolling blurring effect has been fixed? what about the facebook syncing issue, did that get addressed so facebook contacts can be updated with faces. friendcaster seems to blur the contact pics.
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
Use the latest Sprint vvm fe10 I think. It's on the blog, and haxsync for Facebook HD syncs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
It was mentioned several pages back that Alias8188 helped fix that. It is also in the customization guide in the OP.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mookiemoo:
Kenny, what about the facebook conduit, i still can not seem to get the contacts to sync up with the facebook pics in beta 3. have you heard of a fix for that other than going to a third party facebook-like app
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shinydude100:
Forget about Facebook Native Integration for now, APIs have not been officially released for ICS, I use a third-party app and have 0 complaints, all my contacts have a sexy high-res image as well as have their timline under their contact profile on-demand. Haxsync is the best imo.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
I use Friendcaster to sync mine and it works nicely, however, I was wondering if Haxsync includes more user info like contact info (if available on a user's profile) because Friendcaster does not and Facebook back on Gingerbread did. I use to use Facebook sync to get everyone's numbers into my phone, ect.

Yah, what these 2 guys said. The Facebook app has not been properly updated to the sync standard CM9 is using.
[Epic 4G Android Development] CapsLockKey:
There's no option to modify it, but it has it. I see the blue overscroll effect all the time. Little more subdued than GB maybe.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shinydude100:
Hmm not sure Zeinzu.. I use additional sync under preferences and manually sync only contacts that I already have on my phone, never actually tried it for a FB contacts that I don't already have a phone # of, but I do recall what you're talking about from GB FB Sync.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Generalhead:
The way the pace of this thread has slowed down tells me people haven't had too many problems. That mirrors my experience with beta 3. Thanks to all of the devs. I can't wait to see what comes next.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
I only have the problems I've mentioned before.

No video camera led, auto flash is buggy for camera, and bluetooth won't connect or end a call with the screen off.

The screen off thing seems to affect my data with screen off as well. Sometimes while listening to pandora the next song won't start unless I wake the screen.

Aside from that everything has been fine.

I have CM9 on 6 different epics. I have not had any problems worth worrying about, or that couldn't be fixed with a reboot. It connects, can make calls and streams music via bluetooth to my 2012 f150 perfectly and flawlessly. I listen to Pandora a lot too and everything has worked perfect with pandora...no issues to report. My battery life is great too. I do have to note that I do have the epic touch battery. It allows me to leave everything sync'd from weather, facebook, my google account and more...plus I also leave data connected all day. With normal day to day usage with no restrictions as to what I can do, I take my phone off the charger at 6am and when I plug it in at between 11pm and 1am, it stills has no lower than 20%. CM9, all of its developers hard work and updates, has truly made it the best in my book and continues to make me a happy loyal user.

Cheers!

Is this all with the stock kernel?
[Epic 4G Android Development] hotpocketdeath:
I haven't had a problem with bluetooth ending calls, but I have noticed issues with getting it to connect.

I leave Bluetooth on all the time because it connects to my car when I get in. But I've noticed since going to CM9 that it takes a really long time to connect or like the last few times I've gotten into my car, just doesn't connect at all.

I hate having to go into the Bluetooth menu and manually telling it to connect.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
Mine just won't connect or end calls if it sleeps. Maybe it's the Jawbone Icon I use but it works properly on stock. If I turn on the bluetooth and the phone is sleeping (screen off and not on charger) it won't connect unless I wake the phone or something eventually (by chance) wakes the phone from sleep in the background.

When I press the bluetooth's button to end a call it's as though the command is "in cue" because if I wait 30 second then wake the screen the call ends as soon as the screen wakes.

What still baffles me is the phone can be sleeping with the bluetooth already connected and I can long press the bluetooth's button and the phone will respond for voice dialing.

Actually I have had pretty much the same result and battery life success with the stock kernel and also with Marcus's nyan kernel.

The stock kernel is flawless, has excellent battery life, is very snappy and I had no issues with it at all. But just because I like to try different things, I tried Marcus's nyan kernel also just to take it for a test drive and I had excellent results with it also.

The only notable difference between the two kernels, that stands out the most for me, is the stock kernel seemed to have incredibly clear excellent sound when streaming bluetooth and Marcus's nyan kernel has excellent screen clarity and color(due to voodoo color).

Cheers!
[Epic 4G Android Development] joshdv:
I have the same issues as well. I'm hoping the next beta covers at least the bluetooth.

Camera performance is weak also.

Sorry I didn't read the massive amount of posts, but to go from beta2 to beta3, all I have to do is flash beta3 over my current setup and I won't have to wipe anything, right?

Yes, correct..........any issues, try again but wipe cache/dalvik only.
[Epic 4G Android Development] davedsbca:
I just switched back to CleanGB from beta3 because of bluetooth issues. When the phone is sleeping it won't respond to bluetooth device activity until I hit the power button to turn the screen on.

Anybody else experiencing this problem, I suggest giving issue #332 a star on the Epic CM issue tracker.

How do I turn on instant upload from my camera in CM9? It used to be automatic, but ever since CM9 the pictures don't show up anymore.

Also to the unresponsive bluetooth issues, I have been having those since alpha 0, small price to pay, and you can skip tracks by holding the volume rocker anyway.

from: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26595147#post26595147

so upon further discussion it appears the problem i was having with dock mode was most likely due to debris in the phones usb connector, which can cause the phone to enter dock mode. i don't know for sure because when I took it to sprint today they took the phone apart and now it no longer powers up so they have to order me a new one for next week.

the cable is an aftermarket one from monoprice.com and was verified working with other devices, just didn't bother to suspect the phones connector.

md5's were good too
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
I had wondered about this before since my active downloads would always stop when the phone slept but never thought much of it (which has been on every build). Lately I can see my wifi reconnecting real quick as I wake my phone. Same thing happens when on 3g. Would explain why Pandora always stops streaming for me when the next song should start unless I wake the phone.

Cm9 Beta3 stock. Wifi sleep policy is never. Data is always set to on.

Hmm, this is something I haven't tried yet. I have a 1.FM app that streams internet radio, but I haven't tried it since switching to CM9. I'm going to fire it up tonight and see if I have the same issue you describe.

I think there's enough evidence to say there is an issue with the radio handling while the phone is sleeping. I hope this is enough for the developers to see and hopefully improve by the next build.

[Epic 4G Android Development] ninja_unmatched:
Only comment I have is if you are having that usb being recognized issue with what u call a known good cable then it may very well not be a good cable for the phone. I had that same problem with the Samsung Transform with a cable that would work fine with other phones but my gf let me use one of her old cables for her Evo 4g that worked fine. Only other possibility is either bad usb ports on pc or the phone itself.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
Did you check the md5 sum for your download? Make sure it matches the CM9 install guide's, or else you might've gotten a bad DL.........@ninja is correct: your confirmed 'good' cable is about to experience a totally different latency than your last 'good' experience, this happens so often making the cable a fail......... see if you can get yourself a blackberry mUSB cable (staples sells these), as these have been confirmed by many users on this forum (for the og Epic4G)...........your choice to NOT allow google to install your apps is fine: once your email + data are confirmed you can go back to the Play Store --your apps are still stored there-- then scroll up'n'down + install only the bare minimum apps you need, piecemeal, making sure your setup is still ACE.........good luck, hope this helps ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ninja_unmatched:
Ok I've been using this for a few days and so far its great. Now the battery life does suck but nothing that hasn't already been said. I question the signal strength but unsure due to my mother's photon 4g stock also lately experiencing a lower signal at home. One app won't run that I use called iCal to sync my calendar with outlook. shiftboard.com is used by my job and the .ics file they make available never seem to be totally the same as the hours I know I have so outlook seemed a better way to sync for now. Eitherway its still not that big a deal. I'm just gonna have to work on the battery life. I'm currently trying out the shadow kernel which seems better. (I have let my battery drain 1st before gauging the life of the battery and the shadow kernel is working a lil better for me so far. The stock after 1 battery drain still ran through my stock battery like drinking McDonalds sweet tea. Shadow kernel not so much but still not to my total liking but really no android phone can run to my liking so overall I'm content and will be looking 4ward to any updates in the future one being the 3.0 kernel.

Only other thing is the darker colors of ICS make it harder to see the phone outside.

So i was searching the thread from when beta 3 came out til the end and i didnt see my answer so i think its safe to ask.

Just wondering but is there a way to get it back to being next to the text input bar? Thanks!!!

Is no caller ID a universal problem on beta 3 or just a problem some of us, myself included have?
[Epic 4G Android Development] amateurhack:
I can play Pandora for hours without interruption with the screen off. (Just did it today on a road trip, as a matter of fact.) This sort of problem has been discussed before, and I still wonder why a phone would go into sleep mode while Pandora (or any other program) is still running. There's definitely something there to figure out.

My battery life is great on cm9. I hate when people just say it sucks, but there's another thread for that. Research it. Try and figure out why. Be helpful...please.

And my caller id works every time. It doesn't always pull my contact info up, or play the customized ring tone. But those are not a big deal for me, and happen rarely.

Backup swype beta from a different rom and about sms.. make sure you don't send over 480 characters or else it'll send mms and mms with just text will be jibberish so just make sure the texts are split and not over 480 characters
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
In other words, no, there is not yet a fix for the sms problem...

But you can avoid confronting the problem by giving up on the stock app ;)

But it isn't a fix, not even by the most creative interpretation of the word - no matter how many apps you replace it with, the stock app is still broken
[Epic 4G Android Development] amateurhack:
I did have it plugged in most of the time. If I get a chance, I'll try it without.

Obviously some programs are able to keep the phone awake. Is it possible that there's something missing in Pandora to do that? For instance, I have listened to mlb at bat 12 streaming game audio for extended lengths of time without issue, and Navigation will continue to give directions, even with the screen off while on battery over long periods as well.
