what you may think is and isn't are 2 different things haha trust me.

I though that running netflix even on conservative and with UV would be cool but after a 2 hour movie the phone gets hot i was running @ 110*F battery temp.

With the fan on in my room it'd probably be running @ 95*F

And games will run it higher and if the screen brightness is up and constantly on (screen) it between 66-86*F

Roaming indicator works for me.

I used roam control to force roam for the screen shot. But ordinarily when my phone goes into roaming it'll go to 1x or the little R in the pic above.

EDIT: I re-read your post. And if I switch to the text for signal status there is no roaming indicator.

But I prefer the bars lol.

I may have a bug to report but need to test further to see if I can reproduce it. Twice so far my phone has shutdown (toast message informing me of shutdown) at about 15% battery left (stock battery) while on a call. However it does not shutdown if I'm not on a call when it reaches 15% and will only do so when it goes down to 3% or less. With 15% left I should be able to talk for a significant amount of time before it auto shuts down.

I'm surprised there isn't a setting for it. I personally like that feature. But I'm sure making a request to the developer wouldn't be a bad idea. If there is enough interest I would think they would make it an option. I took the plunge and switch from stock messaging to go sms when I switched to CM. Originally to get rid of the 9016 since VM was downloaded. And hopefully soon will have a working solution for sprint VM. Otherwise I may have to go against my reservations and switch to an alternative. Not that I don't like calling into the VM system it's those darn 9016 messages that drive me nuts but right now it is the only way to know if I got VM.

Hmm I wonder why it wont redirect the audio correctly.

I am using the new redirect app in MarcusantROMv3 and same alarm clock plus app and it works... So I would venture to guess its not the redirect app.

Ug this sucks I so wanted to be able to switch for a while, but its the only thing I can use to actually get me out of bed long enough to wake up ><.

Is it something that could be possible to fix or might be fixed later?

Yes yes it OT but as for radio waves & glass one reason glass shrapnel is banned in the Geneva convention from being used in grands & such is because xrays cannot detect:rolleyes:

Rocking cm9
[Epic 4G Android Development] amateurhack:
Actually, guys, glass may have a very low coefficient of attenuation or refraction on radio waves, but it is not zero, and those coefficients will change greatly with changes in frequency. And, of course, there are different types of glass too, so that would present a whole different coefficient depending upon the formula used to make the glass. If your glass has a gold tint to it for uv protection, your coefficient may go up considerably.

Just sayin...

Sorry for adding to the off topic discussion.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Well, true, if you're being technical (wait, normally I'm that guy... lol). But regardless, the effect that it has, if it is measurable, will be to impede the signal, not boost it. And the effect would be considerably less than with metallic materials.

Signal boosting would require a way to inject more power into the signal, either with a repeater or illegal activities at the nearest Sprint tower...

We could also increase the sensitivity of the phone's radio, but not via software. It would require modification of the hardware in ways that aren't exactly practical or easy to do... a powered external antenna might do the trick, but connecting it to a phone that wasn't designed with such a peripheral in mind would be difficult, and possibly risky...

The point is, there is no simple trick to increase reception.

In my understanding, there will be no CM9 RC3, as CM9 stable was released after RC2

Also, I saw a code/mod freeze was in place for CM9, so I "think" CM9 stable will be the last "official" CM9 build, and development has moved to CM10

I am not part of any CM team, so this is just what I have pieced together from all the announcements and updates I have read

[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
There has been at least one version of CM7 (or was it 9? I'll have to look for it...) for the Epic that had this feature. It isn't some sort of Touch Wiz magic, it just requires more than a simple keymap edit. Basically, the smiley key code would need to trigger the launch of an app activity that either sends the three characters for a smiley (' :) ') to the active input box, or gives the user a choice of smileys, with the chosen one sent to the active input box... the concept is really simple

[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
Not true one of the devs in this thread or the nightly, said he had it working & was playing arond getting it working. & no I have always thought its a flat out bug/just not working. Its a hardware key. Idc what ppl say how can any one think of it any other way than a bug its hardware & does not work.

[Epic 4G Android Development] vita10gy:
A bug would be "the smiley key [crashes program/emails everyone in your address book your internet history/erases sdcard/etc]

This is a choice that implementing it isn't worth the hassle. It would take time and effort, and maybe gum up the process, since it's device specific, so the 14 people that ever even noticed there was a smiley button can make a :) in a key and a tap instead of 2 keys.

It has no function by design, thus it's not a "bug".
[Epic 4G Android Development] jasonsf:
An update of Rom Manager accidentally dropped a .nomedia file in the root of the sd card. That will keep all media on the sd card from being indexed. Delete that file.

[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
If what you say was even remotely close to correct, then it would be physically impossible for the smiley key to output a @ symbol... think about that for a second...

The hardware did not break by flashing CM7/9 and their variations. It is not possible to fix broken hardware by flashing back to stock (and I guarantee that the smiley key will suddenly start working again if you go back to stock).

It is a software issue - think of it like a program that is not installed. You can own a copy of, say, Diablo III, and a computer that is fully capable of running Diablo III, and still be unable to play the game because the code on the disc has not yet existed on your computer - that doesn't mean your computer is broken...
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:

[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
It's not that I don't believe you, it's that I do believe what I have experienced first-hand.

There is a CM7 build with the .com and smiley key functions programmed in, I used it for a short time and was disappointed to find that the mod was not merged and therefore disappeared in subsequent builds.

I can't remember what the smiley is mapped to on CM9, and I haven't tried CM10 yet, but on CM7 it is mapped to @ - that would be impossible if the hardware was broken as zman believes.

His belief is based entirely in a lack of understanding about hardware and software, but he is also one of those guys that will simultaneously claim that he doesn't understand the concepts very well, and still get offended when you point out a flaw in his reasoning about something that he has already claimed to not understand very well. Instead of saying, "For all I know, that could be true - let me research it to improve my understanding," he says "I don't believe you, and I won't try to understand better to try to explain why" (because of the risk that he might find out that the one he doubts might actually be correct). Willfull ignorance is a choice... it is easier to believe what you want to believe if you believe it blindly (that's the foundation of many religions that still contradict proven science, lol)

I've been on vacation so I haven't noticed anything as my phone sits in my room all day but I just now noticed I have the save problem.

I guess I fell for his trolling?
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
I guess my whole point is that it should be in the list of what works does not work. How is it any difernt than when 4G radio was not working? Before they programed the drivers & all the other software needed to make it work. I mean to me living in a no 4g. Area with in 100 miles I could really care less if it worked on my Epic. But I am glad to know that its working. That way when I do go to Chicago I have 4G & I go there a few times a year.

Yes 420 I communicated some of what I was trying to say in less than a good way. I understand what the deal is with the key I know its just software or better put lack of software/keymaps/driver config kinda stuff. But you see if there was a list & the cm9 blog was updated I never would of said one word about it. Because I could of read that it was never added & or finished.

But any how iam still on rc1 & see no problems with it

Can some one sell me on stable? Why should we update? What's better? what's NOT better? I guess I was/am holding off because there is no word from teamepic about it.

My phone seems to have a problem that I have not seen mentioned before.

Randomly, when someone tries to call me (usually my co-worker), my phone just locks up and I have to pull the battery and reboot the phone. It's been doing it since before RC1 and I was hoping it was something that would be fixed by the time the stable came out, but I guess that's not the case.

I have tried doing complete wipe and re-installs of the ROM, cleared phone app data, and everything else I can think of, but so far, nothing has fixed the issue.

I'm hoping some of you may have an idea on how to fix, because if I can't fix it, I will have no choice but to go to another ROM (or just get a new phone).

Are you confirming that the MD5 checksums match for your rom downloads?

You may want to check out AOKP before making the jump back to touchwiz GB roms, since you liked ICS so much.

If you end up going back to TW GB roms, then give The Peoples Rom or Cut & Paste Rom a go.

Not to get more off topic than already have, but Metro cannot be turned off and the desktop has to be launched through an app. Anything coming with the OS worth using (email, calendar, contacts) is only usable through Metro.

The amount of screen real estate on computers is unbelievable. Tablets might be better but they need to have a tablet UI as well as a desktop UI, not a combination of them.
