The only time(s) I have experienced fc and lag issues these days is from using this theme called "Cobalt". I never thought themes would be the culprit so I spent so much time diagnosing, tweaking, cleaning, wiping cache and so on. When I change back to the default theme the ROM becomes silky smooth again.

And best of all, I don't have to use V6, which is another culprit. My performance settings for this ROM is default. I have 130+ apps installed with four desktops full of widgets.

Thank you devs for making improvements and I hope CM10 will come to this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ninjames:
Yeah GrooveIP not working with the latest build. Calls come in, no audio out or in. I'm answering and the people are still going to voicemail.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] friedCELLS:
I think you also must have a rogue app or something different going on. I've been running this for months & never had a single reboot. I multitask all the time, never have force closes, and the latest builds are as fast & smooth as ever.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
VOIP (GrooveIP,Skype) working well here.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tom_yellowblue:
There's definitely something going on with WiFi and battery drain. The past two days my battery was draining at about 2% per hour. Today it was draining at 5% per hour. I was in the same location using the same apps. I had previously frozen all widgets that ping my location because using Better Battery Stats I had found those were causing problems.

When I noticed the battery drain I turned the WiFi off then on and it appears to have brought battery usage back to normal. I don't use GrooveIP so that's not the problem for me, but it may be the same kind of problem others were having. I've seen the same thing on previous versions of this ROM so I don't think it's anything specific to this build.

On the plus side, I haven't had the disappearing text problem in gmail once since I flashed this new build. Knock on wood. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
I have had my doubts from time to time, but I believe CM9 is the best choice overall. I am tempted to give Peach Sunrise another go just to remember what Gingerbread ROMs are like.

Whenever people complain or state their intention to jump ship, my kneejerk reaction is to interrogate them about what silly mods they're running or what they've done 'wrong'. To react that way on my part is douchey -- a lot of those folks know more and spend more time researching what they're trying to do.

That said, I don't want to spend hours manually tweaking settings. I want it to require little effort aside from the 'normal' setting up that takes hours anyway. Most of my 'hacks' are about removing apps I don't like or stripping away extra sound files.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] zaid2999:
I guess I'll have to change the keyboard, and I noticed the jump, and that happened after I restarted my phone, I have no idea why that happened!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] DEFJAMVAN:
Lmao!! No one is forcing you. So don't underestimate our device.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
I've had it for 9 months so at this point it seems clear what it's capable of. I bought it because I don't want a contract and this is one of the best ones for no contract folks. For the price it's fine. By next year I may have to bite the bullet though.

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

This is good to know since I was using Cobalt as well. I still had problems with lag before but lately it had been worse. After going to the trouble to switch back I'm going to leave it be for now. I also missed DSP manager to use with Neutron player as I had to use Beats with CM9.

Right now things are "peachy keen" so we'll see.

For some reason the auto press "1" that Groove IP (and all other GV apps like it) doesn't go through. Press 1 yourself to answer, and let us know if you get incoming voice pls (without enabling the "wifi tablet" option).
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] wildguess:
I am on 09/17 and my phone battery lost 10% in 8 hours.

I disconnected it from the charger when I was going to sleep and checked it before going to work in the morning.

By the way I am using Backtitude and it gets a phone's GPS location every 15 minutes.

WiFi is on during sleep, 3G data is on.

No battery issues at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
Howdy,

As has been posted several times on this thread, there's a problem that affects a few of us where WiFi goes into high-performance mode and drains your battery. As you also figured out, the solution is to stop/start the WiFi connection.

I've also posted a simple shell script I wrote. It ping's my phone and when it detects that WiFi is in high-performance mode, it sends me a text page. Since I've written the script, I haven't had any issues where my battery is completely drained. :)

I've made some updates to my script but it doesn't seem like anyone is interested in it so I don't want to clutter the board.

Edit

In my haste, I forgot to give credit where credit is due: andy o. andy o figured it all out. I simply wrote a shell script. :)

Cheers,

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Crow550:
Is the new offline M7 update of Google Now working for anyone else?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Mwas.:
Hey Pablo, I actually was curious about your script. The current build seems good on my battery but I will wait for a couple of days then if I get battery drain again will try it out.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
Hi, Pablo. I would like to have a look at that script, if you want to post it, or a link to it. Thanks.

I'm curious to see how you detected the wifi state.

When I get back to my desktop computer, I'll see if I can find the post mentioned.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tom_yellowblue:
I've seen your script and I like the idea of it, but I don't have a computer that's constantly on to keep pinging my phone.

I wonder how hard it would be to write a widget that shows whether or not the WiFi is in high power mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] kingdavidd:
Could you please look into this issue. I have wiped my phone a couple of times to see if thats the error and it didnt help[/QUOTE]

This is because the phone has a feature that prevents you from listening to music to loud and damaging your ears.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ninjames:
Reverted back to Sept 02 and GrooveIP works fine. Went back to newest one, doesn't work again. So staying reverted.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] friedCELLS:
This was discussed about 3 or 4 pages back. I had the same issue. Turns out it's normal for any ROM on this phone when the volume is all the way up. I now just turn the volume down a notch or two & no problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Geez o frickin' pete this thing is getting on my last nerve. Now RebelROM is having issues also. Holo FCs and after booting can't even access settings to change it as default. So an endless loop of FCs is what I get. Tried wiping and flashing to no avail, and then just boot looped. Thank God I had a nandroid of CM9 from a couple of weeks ago or I would be screwed and tattooed. Since I'm in this shape I am going to uninstall Cobalt and see if that makes a difference.

If it turns out I was wrong earlier I'll be the first to say it. Deleting my earlier post.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
I'm not currently on CM9 at the moment, but if I remember it correctly there is an option to turn this "protection" off in Settings >> Sound.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] 954wrecker:
Been running RR and HOLO for months now and I've never had any issues with force closing or reboots or anything to be honest with you. I install CM9 all the time doing both fresh installs and from backups and every update gets me closer and closer to keeping CM9 rather than going back to RR. I've ran all the RR version and the one I like best or at least the current one is 3.09 WITHOUT the theme fix. CM9 is great and I do enjoy running it for a few days every once in a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
Hi Danny,

I'm including the latest version of the script below.

High-performance WiFi is enabled when the average ping time is less than 10ms. For me, it's roughly 3-4ms. The script isn't a daemon, you run it and it checks whether the average ping time for six packets is less than 10ms. If it is, it'll email you (I use my phone's SMS email address). It's not a very sophisticated script. :) I was thinking of making it into a little daemon that I start up when I log in but ... I haven't (yet?).

Cheers,

When I was running xquzit back then, I had issues with fc's which wiping and re-flashing the Rom did not help.

what helped was I flashed a newer version of cwm and that solved my problem. Try cwm 6 and if you have it then download afresh and re-flash it. That helped me hope it does help you

I just checked and there is that option which can be unchecked
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Something happened with DSP manager today and it force closed. So I re-flashed the 3.1 update and the problems began, even wiped dalvik and cache. After that it went all downhill quickly. I'm sure Holo works with it fine, the problem is something else. It would be nice to just be able to have the phone work great and not have to fool with it for awhile.

I know it is OT but without jocala and bpear96 and camcory and everyone else that helps out with this phone I'd have ditched it long ago. Before I found this site I had this phone stock for a few days and it was a POS. Now it does everything I need (not much) extremely well due to the great developers on XDA. Thank you guys very much
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
I'm going to give 3.9 a go and see what happens. Benchmark results in Quadrant had a 800 point difference in the 2 ROMs (RR higher) so worth flashing to see what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] 954wrecker:
If I rememeber correctly you may want to start on 3.07 then flash the others
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] DEFJAMVAN:

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Yeah I had a nandroid of 3.07 so I restored that and then flashed 3.09. Everything has booted and is fine...for now!

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] shakatu:
Speeding up the animations, disabling the screen off animation, using the Jellybean CM9 theme, Google Now... All this stuff makes this phone look and feel a lot like Jellybean. And this is from a lot of experience running them side by side on different devices. As far as people saying this device will never run Jellybean, I don't see how that would be the case. It's able to run ICS and AFAIK Jellybean isn't particularly more taxing, it's just the fact that there isn't a CM10 kernel available for this phone. Either way Jellybean isn't as big a step as the leap from Gingerbread to ICS...

Try deleting your gmail account from the phone, then adding it back. That cured the problem for me.

Thanks! It worked. Also thanks to Jocola for this ROM!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
CM9 on the Exhibit isn't for everyone. Nor is Rebel, Peach or any of the custom ROMs. My personal experience is that ICS runs great on this phone, but that's totally subjective. I say run what you like and be happy with your choice.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Agreed.

As always thanks for the support on our device.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] shakatu:
For others having issues with performance on CM9 I recommend trying these tweaks I posted earlier. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31695725&postcount=5433

I don't have anything against people using other ROMs because of course that's your choice, but I do take issue with people inferring that others are somewhat delusional when they have a different experience than you.

Pretty happy with the ROM currently. Been having a couple of annoying issues. 1) Disappearing text in gmail. I know how to fix it, but it's annoying. 2) WiFi goes away or fails to re-associate with my AP upon returning home (wifi left "on" the whole time). Turning wifi off and back on cures this problem. I haven't tried WiFi Fix Manager, referenced in the OP.

I had my SIM in my dumb phone last week because the Nokia's faster, more reliable, and holds up to rough handling. Busy week with "can't miss" incoming calls.

I'm back to CM9 for calls. I purchased a $8 app that helps eliminate spam calls. Hope it pays off.

Thinking about doing a full wipe and fresh install of CM9.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ETFoneHome:
I think I found the reason why Cobalt theme lags so much after some time. It seems if you have this theme installed and then flash a new CM9 ROM version over it, there will be issues. The solution is to go back to default theme, reboot and reinstall Cobalt theme. Other than that, I've flashed new ROM without wiping for the last few updates and no problems. It's very smooth running.

I'm trying out the JB andreno live mod.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
I installed Jellybean Stock Theme for CM9.It seems to work OK but I don't get a preview screen in my theme changer (see photo). I can't always detect a significant change after installing themes, except for the colored Holo themes. It's probably just me.

Finally! Damn, it's ridiculously difficult to post a screenshot using just your phone. They need to fix these apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] shakatu:
Yeah, the preview for the Jellybean theme hasn't shown for me either. The biggest noticeable difference between ICS and JB's themes is the notification drawer. Other than that, everything looks about the same.
