Wow nice build! The genlock errors are gone and brightness issue has been fixed! Nice work jocala :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] stab244:
Dang I was about to post this. Too bad I had to take a shower.

I'll report on WiFi issues but I don't think there will be any.

EDIT: I see some random graphic stuff pops up sometimes when I switch screens (opening up settings, opening up an app, etc.). Dunno what that is but it really fast so it isn't that bothersome.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
Wi-Fi issue had been fixed since the first build of 04 (the one jocala removed). The only thing I can find broken at the moment is the GPS. Don't think it's detected, the location icon doesn't even show up in the status bar.

Okay only thing that I noticed about this ROM is that setup doesn't run when you first start up. Using the test build right now.

Honestly that doesn't really matter but thought thought that you might want to know.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
It won't run the setup unless you install clean with /system formatted first.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] stab244:
I did. Still didn't run.

Again it doesn't really matter that much. Maybe it was just a bad flash or I missed it or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] accessdenied12:
I just downloaded the new test build from my phone to emmc. rebooted into recovery...did Wipe Data/Factory Reset then went to mounts and formatted system and sdcard because there was nothing on it I needed as I backed up my music to emmc. Then wiped Dalvik Cache. Installed cwmtest or whatever it was called. Installed Gapps. Rebooted. Works absolutely perfect. Much faster than the last build IMO and quadrant standards..and antutu. Database Performance Is much faster.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] doc.fr33man:
I ran a speedtest on wifi with GPS on, and it put me for two tests in a row in Kansas, not my native Utah.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] stab244:
Hmm maybe it was that I booted up once before I installed Gapps. Weird. Well that would make sense though since their is no Google account stuff to actually help you set up your account if you didn't install Gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] HunterAtXDA:
I did a full wipe, wiped cache and dalvik, and formatted /system /data and /cache. Setup wizard showed up on first boot, but was a little buggy. Between steps I'd get a picture that looked like a small block of what the screen should be, but repeated across the entire screen in a grid. It would fix itself after tapping once, but still odd.

Also, haven't gotten GPS to work. Google maps is very laggy and navigation says "searching for GPS"

But other than those things, it seems to be a little faster and more responsive.

I get a screen like that too when going into settings. It disappears on its own that way though.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
That graphics glitch occurs from time-to-time. IDKW. You can also pull down notifications when this happens, and the screen will repaint properly when you flick notifications off.

GPS: If you'd like to fix GPS prior to the next test, it's simple. Connect via usb then from the command line:

adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/lib/hw
mv gps.ancora.so gps.ancora_tmo.so
reboot recovery

Once in recovery, format cache, wipe dalvik, then reboot. GPS should now work.

Thank you for the logs and feedback. Most helpful.

Concerning Flashlight.

I have communicated the issue with the developers of Flashlight HD LED, and they've responded so we'll see if a fix is soon. :D

Also I tend to check the forums daily and ignore rude people... So there's one more person who won't get help if he has a real problem pop up!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] andy o:
OK, I have found out something more re: battery drain and WiFi high performance being locked.

I could replicate the problem with the WiFi high performance widget, with Groove IP uninstalled, and I also found out why Groove IP locked high-perf mode "most" of the time, but not always, as I said before.

As it turns out, when the screen is already on, either app will enable and disable high-perf mode properly. The problem is when I turn off the screen while the app has high-perf mode enabled. Then the high-perf mode will be locked until I turn off/on WiFi.

You can test this in less than a minute, thanks to that widget. Just install the widget and run the ping test mentioned at the end of the description. First enable high-perf mode, do the ping test, and then disable it and ping again, all while the screen is on. You should notice an obvious difference in response times. With that done, now enable it again, turn off the screen, turn it back on, and then disable high-perf mode. If it works like mine, you should notice that the phone is stuck in high-perf mode, until you turn off and on WiFi.

The test can be done the same with Groove IP. The reason I thought it was happening with Groove IP and not with the widget is cause I tested the widget with the screen on, while when Groove IP rang, the screen is almost always off.

It's worth to note that this doesn't happen with Viber, which also seems to activate high-perf mode when making a call. When hanging up it always returns to low perf as it should.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] sipple31:
I can confirm there is some sort of WiFi issue with this ROM. Been running this on my wife's phone for a couple weeks. Battery life of 10-12 hours with WiFi on. No VOIP apps or any weird widgets. If you turn WiFi off it runs for days! Attempted a cache/dalvik wipe to no avail. If anyone wants any logs or whatever let me know. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] SickBeast:
I did a clean install and the phone has been 100% stable for a few days now. I will report back if it freezes again.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
+1!

Thank you very much "andy o" for troubleshooting this issue further. I very much appreciate any direction. I've installed the application and I'll let you know how it works for me.

Cheers!

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Mwas.:
Go to settings»» wifi then click on menu button and go to advanced. Check on never on the keep wifi on during sleep option. I think this helps our should I say I have noticed some difference in battery with that setting
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
Hi Andy,

I'll try the above, even though I'm not using Groove IP.

I have a question though, when in WiFi High Performance via the app, I see the rabbitin the status bar. Do you know whether said rabbit shows up when we're in WiFi High Performance when not started by the app? I figured you could test it with Groove IP.

Thx!

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] andy o:
hi, thanks for testing. The notification and icon are off when Groove IP enables high perf, so they only work when the widget enables it. I had my phone just lying very close to the router just in case, like 5-8 ft.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
Hi andy o,

Ah, so what you're thinking we want to test is the next time someone notices battery drain, use the app to switch on/off WiFi High Performance. Gotcha! I'll give it a whirl. This is one of those you file under: it can't hurt to try! :)

Hmmm, I had a thought, I wonder if I could write a shell script to ping my phone and log the ping times to an RRD. Hmmm ... then I can reconcile the graph against my battery usage.

Thanks a lot!

-pablo

Edit

Howdy,

I thought I'd try the app while ping'ing my device and I couldn't tell any difference in ping times.

Perhaps my issue is different. Regardless, next time I detect a drain, I'll try the app. Also, you got me thinking. I wonder if the battery drain is rooted in retries so if you have a poor connection, the phone burns CPU cycles retransmitting packets. I know I had a similar issue with a laptop.

If I get a chance, I may try the RRD test because it's simple to do. I just have to find some spare cycles. Grr. :)

Thx again!

-pablo
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] andy o:
Actually what I'm thinking is a bit simpler and much quicker. Make sure you have a strong WiFi signal, then turn off and on WiFi (just to make sure it's reset). Wait for it to connect, then run the ping test with the widget on and off (and without turning off the screen at all) to establish that you do have a difference like I did with ping times, so you can tell reliably whether high perf is on, without having to wait to see battery drain. Once that is done and you make sure you're back to low-perf, enable high-perf again with the widget, ping to double check, turn the screen off, then turn it back on, disable high-perf with the widget, and ping again. If you see what I see, ping times won't change and high-perf will be locked until you turn off WiFi and on again.

This is just to establish that we're having the same problem. You're not using Groove IP, but it may happen with other apps that enable high-perf for WiFi, which I assume most VoIP apps do.

---------- Post added at 06:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:35 PM ----------

I'm not sure that option even works at all. AFAIK (and that's the way it works on my Nexus 7), that option when set to "Never", should turn off WiFi after a few minutes, so you won't keep connected to WiFi until you wake up the phone. That doesn't seem to happen, and I see no difference in WiFi behavior with any options on that setting. Someone back a few pages asked about it too, said that s/he waited for a half hour but WiFi still was connected.

In any case, having WiFi connected all the time can actually increase battery life, depending on how strong is your 3g/4g signal where you are (unless of course you turn off all data).
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
Hi andy o,

Thank you for your detailed respond. I've replicated the issue just as you described. After re-setting WiFi, ping times are in the 10-100ms. Enabling WiFi Performance brings down the ping times to 2-5ms. Disabling it, brings it back to 10's - 100ms.

Now, when I posted a bit before where I said it didn't make a difference, well, I think I was in a battery drain situation: 2-5ms! Very cool man. I think you've nailed the issue.

Thank you again!

-pablo

Edit

btw, I confirmed by looking at my battery usage that I was indeed in a battery drain situation before I conducted the test. After the resetting of WiFi (and the tests), the graph's slope is no longer as steep.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] andy o:
so, just to make sure, if you turn the screen off while the widget is enabled, and then turn it back on, then disable the widget, high perf gets stuck until you turn off/on WiFi again?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
As per smalltech the onloop picture mode in test tools will be in the next fix for this phone. They had me do several checks on alternate settings and confirm what works and what doesn't. Very responsive and quick to react smalltech is.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
Hi,

The above is a beautiful test case. It captures exactly the situation. Let me know whether you'd like me to test anything more.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Mwas.:
In my case I have mixed results. I did notice at one point that it did not turn off wifi but when I checked again, this time it was off. Only problem is that it did not reconnect to wifi. I tried to manually connect but was still a no go. Had to restart the phone. The battery drain is still there even with the wifi option on never.

What is the name of the app... will run your test

btw, I wrote the following hack (yes, it's a hack!)which, when run via cron will check whether my phone is eating battery or not. Once it detects your phone is eating battery, it'll stop chimping at you until the condition clears. At which point, it'll send you a message saying all is well.

To configure, set:

PHONE_HOSTNAME_OR_IP - the hostname or IP of your phone.

WHOM_TO_NOTIFY - the email address to mail the event. I have mine set to mail me a text page.

#!/bin/bash

PHONE_HOSTNAME_OR_IP=clucker
WHOM_TO_NOTIFY="send-me-a-text-page@example.com"

Confirmed MMS no longer needs a subject to send a picture via stock SMS/MMS app. Camera won't take picture to send in MMS so take pic then send. Torch still not functioning nor light in video mode so not sure what changes was made but does seem to run faster and focus beautifully.

Personally I like the pictures better on this phone over the sgs3 but like I say all the time it isn't the megapixel that makes the camera pictures but rather the quality of the camera.

I noticed no changes in contacts either but as above it does seem faster.

Next is actually running a benchmark to compare with old score. V6 always gets disabled on new flashes so it will be compared at same level as 0902 version

Thanks again jocala. Always improving and never resting on laurels.

Antutu reports ram increased 6 points. 2d increased 20 points. 3d increased 9 points. Rest is same and that score was compared against my best which had v6 running. Outstanding work with whatever you did. Note: I checked and ensured v6 was inactive for test.

Test scores highest yet. Previous build w/v6 3558. This build 3579.

Battery. 2 hours 35 minutes. 52% used. Wifi downloaded new build. Nandroid backup romtoolbox backup ran 3 antutu test 7 reboots. Used to end at 25% or lower in previous rom upgrades doing same routine.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] crhylove:
The 9/2 Build was giving me occasional power offs. So far the new build seems very good. Faster than before buy a lot. Of course I haven't installed Google now yet. Speaking of which, which version of Google now should I install, and how? Is the Google app's in the original post still the best 1? Or should I use M 7?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
I don't use Google Now, and haven't kept up with it's progress. If the gapps/now zip would benefit from an update, please let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
M7 for Google now. As side note just tried camera and flash doesn't work in any mode for me. Any others have same side effect.

Modified: Flashlight HD in test tools with on loop picture mode the light does work so it isn't hardware related.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
I've tried multiple versions and it's somewhat inconsistent. Sometimes you get notifications, sometimes you don't. I got notifications for public transit and though accurate to a point, I never could seem to get them for the direction I was needing to go or on the side of the street I was on. I had the best luck with Reekotubbs version.

Another thing is I suspect this eats a lot of memory and slows down the phone. I think I'm going to hold off installing it and see if performance is better without it.

@jocala Also the partition on the phone for storing apps is only 1000mb or so. Since I don't use USB storage would it he possible to resize the USB storage partition and add another gig to the app partition?

I'm a little confused as to how all that stuff works
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tom_yellowblue:
After upgrading I lost Gmail and Google Now but not Google Maps. Previously I had the Google Now package installed. I wiped davlik/cache (not system) and installed the CM9 update. After it booted gmail was missing and I was back to the regular Google search (Google Now was gone). Do you always have to re-install one of the google packages when updating the ROM? I took the instructions in the first post to mean you only had to install them the first time.

It's not a big deal, I just installed gmail from the Play store and everything was fine. It was just weird that gmail and Google Now disappeared but not Maps.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
OK fresh clean install with every app as before and all settings as before. Bench marked 3582 this time. Now camera lights with camera and video

Tried Android restore wipe dalvik and cache reflashed but still lost light. Apparently I was running buggy before I flashed over 0902 but 0910 is faster and fixes issues that didn't bother me before.

Thanks again jocala.

Hey, i moved to stock, yes kinda lame lol, but emergency calling was a deal breaker for me. Anyways just wanted to say loved the builds and as others have said each build does seem to get better and better. I just wanted to say between each build i didnt even have to wipe or anything. I didnt run into many of the problems stated here.

I did 1 time run into what seemd like was a wifi battery drain thing but didnt seem to happen with builds ~after 8/26. And as someone said the screen staying black, i got that once or twice, it seems like it might be when the phone is under load like Titanium backup doing backup updates or something. Any time it happened a quick restart and it would then proceed to go days again no problems, so id have to say its pretty rare and doesnt occur often, from my experience.

Anyways loved it cant wait till the last few issues get fixed and move back. :D
