It happens to me all the time with my exchange account. I always just kill the app then usually it works. Sometimes I have to try a couple times though.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] liquidnails:
I finally got google now working flawlessly. After flashing 8/26 build, I flashed mikeys version 7 offline zip and the velvet apk. Now there is no lag at all. Very nice if anyone would like to give it a shot.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
I added this tip to the OP. Thanks again :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Not me :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
I've tried compiling from source, but I'm no-boot too. I'll give this a shot and post a link. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] andy o:
Do you have bluetooth working for incoming calls as well? I can only get it to work for outgoing on the phone dialer. Groove IP works though.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] MegaKegHead:

Sorry to hear that.

You would have made my life a lot easier!

I got one of those smartphones when I was in the States last week for my son's birthday, got it unlocked online and flashed CM9 Beta ROM.

After using it for a couple of hours all I can do is to say 'Thank you, jocala, for your hard work' and donate some money for the project.

The ROM is fast and smooth, the phone itself is quite powerful. Besides not working Torch-like apps all I could find was a minor flaw in Netflix. When you pause and rewind it stops showing the movie, but it is not a big deal. There is a workaround, just tap Back and then resume watching.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] congee:
Bluetooth for outgoing calls and Skype works.

I haven't tried for incoming phone calls yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
Yeah. Try some other CM10 device other that the nexus s. Ports of anything from the nexus s end with a missing HTC lib for some reason that's in neither rom
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
My first try resulted in abject failure :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
What rom did you port from
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
I think Thomas Edison had similar .. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dat34:
Bluetooth

Mine works for both incoming and outgoing on both carrier calls and VoIP calls with Talkatone and Groove IP. I use a Jabra Easycall.

This isn't cm9 related idk but a lot of files on my SD card turned to 0KB I had an archive of a lot of zip files and half or so are there but have nothing in them. Odd
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] JimSocks:
just flashed, new to cm9. music player, and gallary reads microsd fine, but file manager reports external_sd as empty? i have to plug into computer to move files between internal and external. is this normal? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Look in /mnt/external_sd
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
I'm not on CM9 at the moment, but I think the external SD card can be accessed at /mnt/external_sd/.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] crhylove:
New ROM is super smooth! Still a little lag with gnow, but otherwise good. Will test more tomorrow. The check deposit app for my bank still just takes an all green shot. No other issues (yet).

Did you mod the ram disk from your kernel? From what I've seen is that jellybean requires you to edit the device specific files in the ramdisk for it to boot
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] andy o:
It's working for me now as well, sorry for the confusion. Turns out when Groove IP is logged in, it interferes and even though you answer with bluetooth the carrier call and Groove IP doesn't answer, bluetooth audio doesn't work then.

All in all, great update. Apparently the weird Groove IP problem I mentioned earlier which when activated started a fast battery drain until Wifi was disconnected/reconnected is gone too, after a romwipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] shakatu:
The first backup seemed to take forever, but I'm guessing that has to do with changing the format of backups and subsequent ones will be faster.

It does work though as far as I can tell. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
First backup does all the writes and subsequent one updates only what is changed and is much quicker. I do backups to the external so it does take more time. Gonna get a 32 gig 10 version sdcard later to make saves quicker than my old 16 gig card and pass the 16 gig onto the galaxy s3 because I still use his phone way more.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Kamatari+:
I'm having an issue where mounting the phone to use as a USB device won't work in windows. Then again, I just tried it in linux and the phone gave me a "system UI" stopped working. Is this specific to me and my flash? I'm on the 8/12 version.

Also bumping a question of mine from page

Is there a way to bump up ram besides zram?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ScipioWarrior:
Using something like v6 supercharger or auto memory killer usually frees up more ram but there is no way to raise the max.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] liquidnails:
Battery life seems great in this 8/26 build. I'm actually going the whole day without having to recharge :D
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
Hiya,

Is it consistently good for you? I find that there appears to be some process which occasionally runs amok and ends up chewing my battery. A reboot fixes the problem ... until it happens again.

Before I start gathering data, are you or anyone else seeing similar behavior?

Thx!

Why force WCDMA?

Since I haven't messed with these settings before, what are the benefits of forcing it to WCDMA vs GSM or Auto?

Thanks,

Robert
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jgrinst1:
Using zRam will actually take away from your RAM. What it does is build a Swap file for you in RAM instead of just using the sdcard. This means that when the system swaps, it will use fast RAM, but takes away from the RAM available to the system to start with.

For phones with limited RAM (like this one), I would not suggest using this particular feature.

JMO, YMMV as everyone uses their phones differently.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Seminoles:

Well ever since I do a fresh install of 8/26 build I have had no problems with battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
Hmmm, I did an upgrade ... wonder if that's the issue ... I'll try do a fresh install later and see if that resolves it for good.

Thanks a lot for your response.

Is there anyway to have applications never install to the sd card? Coming from a g1 there us more than enough on board application space.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jrleathers:
Im still on 8/14 build ,but will update soon. Battery life seems OK for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] liquidnails:
And battery life isn't Like stock or anything. Its just a huge improvement from what is was with this build. I'm a heavy user and if I can get a whole day out of my battery.. I'm happy :D
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
I'm not really a heavy user .. that's why it's a bit alarming when I see the battery drop off several points in ten minutes. :)

btw, when you did your clean wipe (pardon me for saying that! lol), did you do a titanium backup/restore type of thing or did you literally re-install all the applications too?

Thx!

-pablo
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] 954wrecker:
JR Is that with the screen on for ~90 minutes during those 2 days? I get about 8-10 hours on my battery if I'm using it heavily, I guess if I rarely used it I could go 2 days.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] liquidnails:
I always do a batch restore using titanium backup. Now I have been using RAM manager pro the last few days. That may have something to do with my situation. Its like a $1.28 app but my phone seems better since installing.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cstring:
I'm having issues with the messaging app too, did you ever get this resolved?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
I've been playing with toro. I'm a little further along, but I put it aside to finish up recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jrleathers:
Wrecker:

Not sure as that was several days ago. I'm sure my screen was on more than 90 min. During those two days I did take pics and used the browsr, mms, calls, etc.... But wouldn't say heavy use. I once had an incident where Gmail sync 1gb data in background and battery rapidly dropped.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] friedCELLS:
I never have issues with battery life. I get at least ten hours, sometimes way more. I'll work a 14 hr day, still have 30-50% left with regular use. Consistently. Only once I left wifi on when there was no wifi to connect to & that killed the battery fast.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] brokenAndroid93:
So i noticed that the newest version of the rom has the camera fully functioning. Cool, so im not a buff at upgrading to new versions of Roms so how do i flash this in properly? And will i keep all my current settings and data?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] shakatu:
Read the OP. It is all explained in post #1.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] kingdavidd:
I get easily 18 hours on my phone right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] hotsauce126:
I'm usually lucky to get 12 hours , but then again I haven't fully wiped since one of the April releases

Just so you know I'm trying to compile but I get build errors with the audio libs. I can explain more when I get back to my workstation. Pm me.

Are you trying to compile kernel or cm9?

Edit: I just finished walking aR3alCoo1Kat through a CM9 compile. I'm going to try to assemble my notes to him, along with notes from arco into a howto. If it's coherent, I'll post it sometime this week.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] SurgeRush:

Can u post 04 as testing so others can try it I was gonna try it and logcat it if I do see the problem
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] KemikalElite:
The full CM9 build. I know and understand the general build process for cyanogenmod but its just that you do do repo init , . build/envsetup.sh and finally brunch ancora_tmo with the vendor and proprietary and device files in place but I run into errors for things like stop fatal make error - no rule to make target ancora_tmo/obj/lib/libaudioalsa.so because some file is missing.

Sorry for bad formatting I'm still getting used to typing on this tablet.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Faultyy:
Google Calendar apparently works in Kem's MIUI rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] SurgeRush:
I don't know how easy or hard it is, but you could add a sound to the boot animation so that it would be alot less likely for people to go into a boot loop without knowing.

I don't really have this problem, so it doesn't matter to me, but depending on how difficult it is, just a suggestion.

For those having battery troubles:

The weird Groove IP/WiFi issue I mentioned before came back (more like it was still there the whole time). I've been testing this in the past couple of days trying to see if it was a conflict with other apps. Ultimately, I did another romwipe, installed the fresh 8/26 build, completely stock, no "backup/restore this phone's settings to Google" option checked. I literally changed nothing except phone brightness on the ROM side. I then only installed Groove IP. Also completely default options.

So, what happens here, as it was happening before, is that when it's connected to WiFi Groove IP logs in, works fine. As soon as I receive a call though (on Groove IP), even if I don't answer it, the phone will start draining battery faster, until I disconnect/reconnect WiFi. Then it stops draining.

When I had 3g/4g enabled in Groove IP I was getting battery drain also, but that's a more complicated scenario and I just wanted to confirm that a problem with Groove IP exists in the first place.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
Wow, excellent troubleshooting. Thank you.

In my particular case, I'm not using Groove IP/WiFI. However I always keep my WIFI on and I'm wondering whether the WIFI daemon on the phone gets wrapped around the axle. Right now, the phone is discharging at a very slow rate: I'm at 94% in nearly 2.5 hours.

The next time the phone goes into a dive, I'll turn off WIFI and see if it stabilizes.

Cheers,

-pablo
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
Hi,

This afternoon, the battery drain issue started to manifest itself. I did as you mentioned above (switched off and on Wi-Fi) and it staunched the drain. Have a look at the screen capture. You can see how the slope flattens out after the off/on toggle.

In my particular case, I went from my garage (has its own AP) to the house for lunch (has its own AP - same ID), and back. I'm not sure when the issue cropped up: when I was at the house or when I returned.

Cheers,

-pablo

Performance improvement

I did a benchmark test this morning and my score was way up, to 3551. It's funny since I did 2 tests right after the 8/26 update and scores were lower. The difference was Auto Killer settings were having problems taking again (the app wouldn't even load for several minutes, and may have been due to the reinstallation from TB after doing away with V6) , so I uninstalled it and reinstalled again. This time it's working to perfection. The biggest difference was with 3D graphics, up nearly 200 points from before. The swinging swords would only go as high as 40fps, now going over 57. Not sure how/if Auto Killer would affect graphics performance. I did enable 16bit transparency, which supposedly improves graphics performance but causes artifacts. No issues with that at all.

On the ROM itself no complaints. Very smooth and all apps open fast. No FCs. Wifi calling isn't working for me like I said before, but that's no issue since I don't need it.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jgrinst1:
It was probably during the trip...

You could try this: Go into /system/build.prop and change the wifi.supplicant_scan_interval value from 60 to 150 or 180.

Looks like you are using too much power looking for a known Wifi network when not in range of one.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] andy o:
Pablo, I don't know if our troubles are caused by the same issue, but it could be something similar since turning off/on wifi fixes it. In my case I didn't move the phone at all though and as I said, I took out all other 3rd party apps out of the equation.

In any case, I have found a fix for mine. Turns out disabling Groove IP's icon in the notification area prevents the drain after a call. I have restored my nandroid now and sure enough it works with all my other apps running, too.

BTW, I have wifi on all the time, so it connects automatically when I'm in range of a known network. I haven't noticed drain once it's connected to one. It used to happen but it was also Groove IP, when had the option to use 3g/4g enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
Hiya,

Thank you for the above. I researched what the above unit of measure is and I see it's in seconds. So the suggestion is to go from 60s polling to 150s/180s. I've set it to 150s. Let's see what happens. :)

Cheers,

-pablo
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jgrinst1:
Pablo, a couple more questions for you and Andy O to try help with an answer:

1. Are you using Groove too?

2. If yes, are you using the app hi-performance wifi lock?

3. What is your Wifi sleep policy set to in Settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
custom roms

I think this code is far enough along to be safe for custom roms. If anyone wants build and publish cm9-based roms for our phone, just post your file/thread link so's folks know about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
Hi,

Thank you for the assistance. Let me answer your questions ...I'm not using Groove. I could not find a WiFi Sleep Policy setting on my phone. I google'd it and I don't have a `Wireless & Networks' option. :confused:

Thx!

Why I force phone to WCDMA

I have a couple of reasons that I force my phone to WCDMA. The first is this. At my house, I have weak 3G signal, so my phone tends to flip to Edge at my house if it is in Automatic. But I get better speeds even when the 3G is so weak that no bars are lit. So I force to WCDMA to keep of the Edge network. The other reason is that my phone will occasionally get stuck on Edge even though I know there is good 3G signal. So I have to force it WCDMA to get off Edge when that happens.

Forcing to GSM will put you on Edge instead of 4G. I don't typically have any reason to do that, but some others do.

Hope that helps.

-Dat
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] interessant:
I wish there was a way to make this permanent. Did this with nexus s and a blackberry and helped tremendously in wcdma only mode.

I'm sure its a rom setting issue to enable permenant writing of this configuration change that lasts beyond a reboot.

-sent from outerspace
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Seminoles:
I noticed the same thing with the WiFi calling app built into the ROM when on a call the notification icon turns green then it is suppose to turn blue when done with the call however it stays green and battery drops hard until it turns blue. Maybe the WiFi built into the ROM is not setup to discount on the codes sent by these two apps just a thought.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] pojo:
Loving this rom. one issue i'm experiencing is with powerAMP : there is noticable sound distortion between subsequent tracks, screeching noises, crackling audio distortion etc. i don't know if it's because of limited system resources, i have tried various settings within powerAMP to no success. I do experience a bit of a lag sometimes, especially when using google maps and navigation which I tend to use a lot. I've tried adjusting the auto kill to shut down apps every half hour or so, didn't do much.

Does anybody have any suggestions on how to make this run more lean ? Any apps or settings that will help that ? Since I installed google apps from page 1, as I understand google + is installed too, I heard that's a memory hog and might not worth be running, does anybody know how to remove it ? Lastly, if I want to update to the latest rom, by going through Jocala's procedure on post 1, I simply write over the existing rom with doing any wipe and all my settings should be kept correct ?!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] andy o:
My solution before of disabling the icon seemed to work a few times, but it's not working all the time. I'm still trying changing settings in Groove IP. I'm also gonna be testing if the icon thing was just a fluke and if it really doesn't help at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Do you have direct volume control enabled in (Poweramp) settings? That should help. I found that disabling DSP manager and using the Beats Audio app from the market made sound quality second to none on this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ETFoneHome:
I don't think ram resource has anything to do with it. I also have noticed that on this 826 build there is considerable distortion/hissing sound when equalizer is turned on. Also there is crackling, pop noise when turning on/off equalizer and switching tracks. I posted this a few page back. This wasn't the case on previous builds nor on GB 2.3.6 - at least not on Exhibition 626 ROM.

Also, my Fusion Music Player only shows 1 equalizer preset but on GB there are 8 presets. But that could be app related.

As for Beats ([ROOT] Beats Audio™ Installer) on Google Play, this is totally YMMV. I have noticed a widening (3D) effect with beats so that's good for me. A Nanadroid backup is highly recommended because once you installed the driver (clicking "next" a few times to see the option in app) you can not uninstall it the conventional way. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Octanee:
hi guys, so whats changed with this rom? i flashed the i believe 8/15, and im having problems, its slow, sluggish, if i go to the dial screen, hit back, nothing happens, if i hit HOME it goes back to home screen and is slow,

So whats the changes now with the 8/26?

and whats this force band dial thingy?

i know a #1 problem i have is slow data, and if i send a text in more than 1 single msg then it always fails to send unless its long enough for a MMS msg then it always sends that fine, Thanks! (issues ive had since like may of using cm9 lol nothings changed there)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] accessdenied12:
Bands and SMS Issues

The forced band is used to make it use WCDMA only or GSM only (e.g. WCDMA being 3g/4g and GSM Will only give you EDGE) So If you force it to WCDMA mode though and you leave where you normally are and it has bad signal in that area you are going to have no service so beware, that is one good thing about not having it automatically do that every time. As for the "4g" which is really HSPA/HSPA+ the issue I find is that my phone when it isn't pulling enough bandwidth for it to "need" HSDPA or HSUPA it stays in 3g UMTS mode. I have noticed it has done this since the first time I tried the CM builds. Now, I was wondering if there is a way to turn off the fluctuation between them and tell it (possibly in the build.prop) to prefer HSPA instead of UMTS:3 or if that is hard coded into the hardware or switch that the phone connects to.

Secondly, The text message (SMS) problem I have it as well, if the message goes beyond 160 characters but does not reach 480 it will send the first 160 and lose the rest. There are some workarounds for this in the meantime until that gets figured out. To overcome this situation, you can use a third party messaging application such as Go SMS Pro or Handcent SMS to send your messages one at a time without having to hit send every 160 characters. You can download these apps from Google Play.

So all in all if there was a way to fix this issue I've only noticed with the newer builds but I may have just not known. As for the forcing HSPA/HSPA+ ONLY instead of (UMTS/HSPA on demand so to speak) I would greatly appreciate soemone explaining it.​
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] crhylove:
If you have simple mobile or another slow mvno i recommend forcing edge.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] a0b1c2:
Howdy,

For my phone chewing through battery, the suggested fix of setting wifi.supplicant_scan_interval from 60 to 150 or 180 seems to be working. I think time will tell. I'll definitely post something in a few days.

Thanks again!
