Juice Defender (Ultimate)

I have noticed that I seem to be getting a lesser battery live using JD ultimate with my advanced settings tweaked. Running on Wifi @ home, & using settings that have normally worked well on other ROMs. Haptic off, screen dim, using real sammy batteries, OC'd to 1200 w/ uv @ -25 high end, -50 mid, -75 & -100 on low end & used the "...\throttle del fix" 100 is sticking. Although I at first ran a over-the-top flashed install I have since wiped and gone clean rom>gooapps>shadowkern & only restored apps (no data) via titanium.

So, anyone else using JD Ultimate out there with success? If so what settings do you use.

Rom- CM9 Beta0

Kernel- ShadowKernel

Modem- FB15

Sorry if this is covered somewhere but i have not run across it and i am about to poke my eyeballs out with my hair after i rip it all out...

How do i turn off the cursor jump while typing? In GB it beeped too but could be turned off by turning off auto puncuation and thats not working for me here. I turned off everything on every keyboard and its still taunting me.

Odd, now it seems to be jumping less, 5 spaces to a row or two off the initial touch point. Not quite as annoying but :mad:

Some advice, there is a thread specifically for the battery tip sharing and questions.

Also do not report issues or problems in this thread if your not running 100% CM9, if you have changed the kernel you either post the issue in the kernel thread or there is also a general q/a thread for cm9. This thread is strictly for development of pure cm9.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brooksyx:
I think the epic team is just going to make this happen by default in the mms.apk and remove the option to disable it. So hopefully in the future it won't be an issue.

I read the change on the cyanogenmod change log site. The one that lists all the open, merged, and removed changes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nitekillerz:
weird colors?

hey i been having this issue since Alpha 3. It happens every time i use my epic. the screen colors are off there like a greenish tint or something like that. it like goes away for a little then comes back and its very annoying. I'm on stock beta 0 have made no changes or any mods or anything.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
That sounds like your running a kernel which supports voodoo color and your gamma settings are to low at boot or coming out of sleep. If this is the case the question belongs in the kernel thread. If not then I have no idea why it would do that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nitekillerz:
well like i said earlier I'm on stock everything.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stkiswr:
Did you download on 3g, try re downloading the rom on wifi or to your computer. Then full wipe w flash. 0 problems here and never had an issue w tint unless I flashed a kernel supporting voodoo. On all alphas I never had the problem you are mentioning.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
Only have seen that happen on kernels with voodoo color. Sorry couldn't give you more help...
[Epic 4G Android Development] nitekillerz:
hmm well i never made any changes but my kernel is this "2.6.35.7-gf4f5189 warren@asgard #24" but thank you
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
That is the stock kernel. Try the redownload/reflash suggestions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jephro:
Got the same bug, just a minor annoyance tho. Didnt have when i was flashed over the top cleanGB>alpha5>beta0 but now with my fresh clean install i am getting the same issue.

EDIT: did a reflash over the top (from same file) and it's gone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] The Root:
Anyone hear the joke about the primadonna devs that block out people trying to help them?
[Epic 4G Android Development] finchp1:
Issues I am having...

I am coming from clean GB MTD. Did a full wipe, data/cache/dalvik. Then installed beta, then installed gapps. 100% stock. Everything works just fine, but my battery life is terrible. 6 to 7 hours at best. And the overall feel of the rom seems to be laggy or slugish. Other than this, the overall feel /look and the day to day functions are working great. Any thoughts on battery life? I have not touched the performance settings. They are still "on Demand" per the settings in cm9 performance.

[Epic 4G Android Development] The Root:
Yeah, the ones who say touchwiz is the best but think they have the market cornered on AOSP development.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lmsomb:
If your main concern is battery life then you should try something else (rom) I barely get 5 hrs and that's pushing it
[Epic 4G Android Development] StoneRyno:
My carrier is selected and is the only option to choose. I cleared the apps data and uninstalled and rebooted later on after my post. And then just before posting this tried using the flashable zip on the CM customization guide that was added sometime between then and now. The same thing I posted before occurred with that one too. I also verified the my carrier selection per the instructions just in case.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shinydude100:
That's normal, even if they're on the same modem, the CM9 Builds aren't par with Samsung's stock bars of signal, that's something they'll implement on later, which future build is anyone' guess, best not to rush it though, it'll arrive when it's ready.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
But he said both of his Epics are on CM9 - stock Samsung isn't relevant in this case

[Epic 4G Android Development] Shinydude100:
Lol

Lol it's still relevant.. the bars aren't an accurate representation of what they should be. There's so many other factors that can come to play, such as the actual hardware of each epic, modem differences (if any), instead of arguing with me, how about you try to be constructive and give your piece of mind on what you think it may be and figure out a solution? I don't have time to "justify" who's right or wrong with possibly someone who's in their teens. If you're not a teen, then be a man and HELP, not dispute. Any problems, you're welcome to pm me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] wtogami:
You've been complaining about random trouble for the past several releases. None of the devs experience anything like this. Either you have bad hardware or you are using non-standard mods or kernels. Either way, we cannot help you.

Anyone know if this is going to get linaro integrated

[Epic 4G Android Development] Shinydude100:
One of the CM9 devs said parts of it are still being merged to CM9 upstream. To me, it's almost unreal that such underlying code has been re-done to beat even stock aosp. Lol if it's an improvement, I'm sure we'll see it, whatever gets past the merge that is. =)
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
The two phones are receiving different signal strengths, so the relevant points are the differences between those two phones. Neither one of them is running a Samsung-based rom - he said both are on the same release of CM9 - so how, I ask you, is a Samsung rom relevant here?

Besides, how is it "normal" for two (almost) identical phones, on the same carrier (and account), and presumably on the same tower, to have drastically different reception levels? If they were different phone models, that would be plausible... but with two epics, any variations should be a lot less than "significantly different"

Do you see why I was a little surprised at your "advice" now?

Regardless, simply saying "it's normal," when it isn't, and when there are steps he can try (and additional information he can provide) to try to improve his experience, isn't exactly helpful or constructive.

The modem is a good suggestion - he didn't mention whether he checked or updated the modems, so they could each be on whatever they were on when he jumped the TW ship - and the last few OTAs a while back -were- staggered, so one phone may not have gotten it...

He could also use the temp boot to update the PRLs - similar to the OTA staggering, some phones have taken longer than others to receive automatic PRL updates, or it may have been done manually on one but not the other, etc.

Some of my apps stopped working with beta 4 so I put beta 3 back on and it's much better. I'm running stock and I don't think the hardware is bad. I've asked several times about performance/governor settings and never got a straight answer. What should they be?

Cyanogen Mod Beta 3, EL30. I like my Ice Cream Sandwich!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
My wife has over 200 3rd party apps and adding more everyday. Every single one of them works. She's never had a fc on her epic. She is on beta 4 completely stock other than mixer theme in the CM9 theme Chooser. Either you keep restoring corrupted data or you may be leaving too many things running which may cause the system reboot if the resources get to low, I say may cause, because in theory the system should shut down apps that are opened with the longest inactivity. I would lay a $ on you having corrupted data. Or your installing something which modifies the rom and in that case your on your own.

EDIT : In regards to governors, I suggest not touching any of that and letting it run the way the developers set it up. See how that works out.

[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Yeah but most of that "speed increase" is increasing stock video speed from 30 fps to 60 fps. I thought most kernels already did that here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
Go into settings. Go into lock screen and find the weather portion.. click that and at the bottom uncheck Use metric. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] nastypup:
I'm not restoring data. If something were corrupted, then reflashing beta3 after beta4 wouldn't have made my apps work again. The only problem that I have with CM9 is that I lose wifi and 3G doesn't kick in. I'm not the only person with that issue. On beta3, I had a total of 2 random reboots in the weeks that I had it on my phone. With beta4, I had random reboots and a host of other problems. As soon as I reflashed beta3, the problems stopped. I doubt it's coincidence. Also, with beta4, my bluetooth headset kept dropping.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
Ok point taken, now read what you wrote. Obviously you have something wrong whether it's software or hardware related you have something wrong. I have at home 3 epics and 1 Gnex, 2 of the Epics are on CM9 and the Gnex is on CM9. None of them reboot by themselves randomly or for any other reason. I don't think since GB leaks any of the Epics have gone into any random reboot. 1 of my Epics is on TW rom The Peoples Rom and that doesn't experience any reboots either.

You need to create a nandroid of your beta3 which you think works the best. Then do a complete wipe of data(factory restore) wipe everything and do a clean install of a freshly downloaded beta4 and flash Gapps and just test everything you know that locks up, doesn't work like switching from wifi to 3g etc.... If it's all working without any issues start adding apps in one by one but track which ones you added back in. Avoid restoring any data whatsoever. If you restore data from an app and the problems start up go back delete that app and I am sure it will work good again. I guarantee you its an app or two or data which is causing your issues.

Good point! just checked baseband and mine is on EI22 (that seems a little behind..) I will check hers when I get home to see if that might be the problem.

used temp boot prior to original post to update PRL, didn't seem to help much..

I will post better/more concise information when I get home today.

in the meantime thanks a Ton for your help and suggestions..! :D

Ian
[Epic 4G Android Development] xshawk:
here's the update (not home yet but I managed to reach her for the info)

both Epics were on EI22 until 5min ago, (I just updated mine to fc09)

I will update hers when I get home and see what that does for the signal.

(I will update PRL and Profile after the update to fc09)

any further thoughts? things I can check on?

thanks in advance!

Ian
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
There is always YMMV :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
It's possible, but two phones with identical software, and hardware that is as identical as you'll find in today's world of "acceptible imperfection threshold," the variation in mileage shouldn't be "significant" - perhaps the phone with weaker signal has a hardware issue (weaker antenna or something).

I'm out of ideas directly related to reception, at the moment anyway. Perhaps it would be worth putting both phones on other roms to compare signal strengths - if the variance in reception occurs the same way on all roms (and modems, if you take the time to test those as well), then the issue is with the weaker phone's hardware. If it goes away, then you'll know that whatever caused the variation is somewhere in the previous rom , although it won't help to determine what is actually causing the variance. Just make sure you are always testing with both phones on identical setups, for this part of the testing. You might find that the weaker phone performs better with a specific rom...
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
I have 2 epics on the same ROM and very often they read different signal levels. And not always one worse than the other.
[Epic 4G Android Development] wtogami:
We have not seen any functional difference between EI22, EL30 and FC09 modems. EI22 is known to be the minimum supported version for CM9. I still use EI22 without problems.

New Cid boot animation, and some important code changes require public testing before CM9's planned stable release. Report any regressions since beta4 in the Google+ thread.

I use EH17 and everything works great :D haha
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Well, I could be wrong then - I probably have higher standards for what is an acceptible variation than most modern industries, lol

But you mention something that brings another question to mind (for the original asker) - is it always the same phone that has weaker reception? I realized that I have been basing my thoughts on that assumption, so I might be going in the wrong direction (hey, I'm allowed one mistake per month, right?) ;)

Modem and Facebook problem

How do u know what modem u are on, im looking at my Baseband version and it says im on DK28, can that b possible if im running this program. Im not having any major problems so far and I came from EH17 Hurricane mod, which I was having major REBOOT issues. I havent had that problem, but my MAJOR issue is FACEBOOK SYNC with CONTACTS. ANybody got a fix, FRIENDCASTER isnt fixing it either.
[Epic 4G Android Development] propjockey:
Yep. Baseband is the modem you're on. Apparently it's not supported, but if it works well, I don't see why you should change it. However, maybe someone more knowledgeable can shed some light on this. I've been operating on the "if it isn't broke, don't fix it" principle. Also I'm using Haxsync from the market to sync Facebook contacts. It's a buck or so, and works for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Tomcat5:
Haxsync all the way.
[Epic 4G Android Development] urirx98:
Well i found the Pro version on the net and seems to work alittle better in gettin most of my contacts in, but it seems not all of them have pictures. Most annoying. I also dont like how u cant merge the MULTIPLE CONTACTS together, since when you add all your different EMails and twitter an Facebook u can have 2 to 4 contacts for same person, anyone GOT A CURE FOR THAT??
[Epic 4G Android Development] helchez:
Anyone who uses the built in wifi tethering function having issues on beta 4? I use it really and it's been working great through all the betas until now. When I try to enable it, it gets stuck on Turning Wifi on. I have to reboot in order to use wifi after this. May have been a bad flash just checking to see if others are experiencing similar issue first.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
I'm not currently using cm9, but if I remember right this can be done. Click on a contact, press menu>edit, menu>join.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
Been running great on beta4..........best response ever.......you on the stock kernel?

You getting a good data signal? It's could be your settings (pc side?device?) so take a look in the Open Networks and Sharing Center / Manage Wireless Networks (pc) + make sure your security is set at WPA-2 Personal, matching your device's WPA2 PSK.........you may have to restart your pc or device, but once you're set it'll work fine thereafter.

*try not to use your mUSB cable when you're connected: the high temperature could be a problem for you*
[Epic 4G Android Development] urirx98:
THank u so much, that works perfectly, although now i have to go thru my 450 contacts but its all good :) .
[Epic 4G Android Development] nastypup:
OK. I gave my phone a lobotomy ;-) and added back 150 apps one at a time. I'll let you know if it gets better or stays the same.

Cyanogen Mod Beta 4, EL30. I like my Ice Cream Sandwich!
[Epic 4G Android Development] helchez:
Yeah I'm stock. Only thing I use that's not built in is voodoo sound. It's not that i can't connect, it's that the phone never starts transmitting. It just gets stuck trying to turn on wifi tether. I have had issues in the past but the phone's not actually tethering so it's not hot at all. May have been a bad flash then will have to wipe and try again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
You really should have added only a few at a time and ran it for awhile to make sure your reboots don't come back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigboose1234:

I installed this earlier and did not notice the new boot animation. Do I need to delete something in the /data/local/ to make it use the new one instead of skateboarding Andy?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jasonsf:
If you have manually put a boot animation in /data/local it will continue to use that one. If you never manually put one there, you should see CID. Mine switched from Andy to CID when I put the pre1 on.

Jason
[Epic 4G Android Development] pablomentabo:
It was a while back but I think I did put it in there manually. I moved the bootanimation.zip I had in the /data/local/ folder to another folder and when I rebooted I had the new animation. Thanks. I was just worried that the bootanimation.zip was the new one and I'd be deleting or moving the wrong file. :cool:

When I take a photo and try to share it via sms, the recipients name types out transposed. If u hit the backspace button a few times, it usually fixes itself. Anyone know of a fix?

Also any hope for functionality of the physical keyboards smiley button or ".com" button working in the future?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
That is a known bug. Wait a few seconds before typing the name and it should work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xshawk:
Absolutely and yes it was one phone consistently.

but.. I FOUND THE PROBLEM!! and I feel ridiculous at the same time.

the actual problem was that the profile on her phone was not properly activated.

I updated ei22 to el30, then did el30 to fc09

then rebooted in temp and updated prl, then updated profile.

reception improved and after restarting back into CM9 the two phones have very similar signal reception... if you stand in the same place you get the same reception..(within acceptable limits of course)

thanks for ALL of your suggestions!

now that her phone works properly, I may have to try the 5 pre1 out on mine..

Ian
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
Thanks for "fix" Kenny.

Now, about the second question. [I've been using this phone for about a year and always cursed under my breath about not having a .com shortcut on the KB. I just saw it. :o] Are these kinds of things getting worked on upstream or are they not really workable because the OS isn't that specific for individual devices?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
No. The .com is a Touchwiz feature in the keymap and there are no plans on the Epic team trying to fix it. It is not upstream CM9 because it is special to our phones. From what I understand just getting the slide out keyboard to work originally was a big enough problem. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong about that...lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bobvark:
ok, does anyone else have the problem where you can only pull down the notification bar on the home screen? on beta 4.

also just updated to beta 5 same problem. but I can pull the notification bar down when in landscape.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
I've gotta say, B4 is working better than anything else I've tried.

And I'm getting spectacular battery usage.

Everything is working so far... except my WiFi icon in the status bar. But WiFi is working, so I'm not caring much.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
@xshawk - awesome news! I'm glad you sorted it out (and thanks for sharing the root cause for the benefit of the community) :)

I needed to see how much of my battery drain was caused by ICS roms (which were never meant to run on the Epic) and how much was due to the age and condition of my battery, so I went to The People's Rom - first time on TW since SRF... I'm happy to report that my battery isn't as bad as I thought :)

But I am already missing a ton of small nuances that set CM apart from TW... the next major feature addition will probably pull me back, lol. On that note, has any more news surfaced yet about the Linaro optimizations? More efficient code should have a positive impact on power consumption...
[Epic 4G Android Development] wtogami:
Please stop assuming things you don't understand. No, the Linaro optimizations have nothing to do with power consumption, only performance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Ok, I gotta say something here. If it increases performance does that not mean things will get done more quickly meaning less screen on time meaning more battery life?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jasew503:
