Is there anything that I'm doing wrong with respect bluetooth? CM 9 RC1 doesn't send the song title/album title/band title to my head unit, whereas CM7 did. Is this just an upstream issue with CM9, or something about the Epic 4G's specific implementation?

Is there anyway to disable the drop down notifications/widgets at the screenlock? Makes having a PIN useless since you can just get to the homescreen via the drop down > settings > back button.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Check in the security settings, and maybe the lockscreen settings... I'm not certain, but I thought there was an option for that, but that it was off by default - is it possible that you toggled the setting by mistake? (The description for that option may have been one of the clear-as-mud descriptions you'll find on some of the more obscure options...)

According to Sprint's new map, on the Epic 4G phone, I should be able to get 4G on the street outside of my house. Is this propaganda or would I be able to get 4G on a stock phone?

Sent from my SPH-D700 running CM9 RC1 using the XDA app
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
If you can't get it on cm9, you won't get it on stock either....
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
The stock rom's signal bars are the propaganda - the reception has to do with the hardware, which cannot be changed (especially not by installing software). CM and stock roms differ in the number of bars they show for any given signal strength. CM might show two bars for a signal strength of, say, -92 dbm, while the stock rom may show four bars for the same strength - it makes Sprint look better to the uninformed consumer. I can't say that all carriers do that, but I also doubt that Sprint is the only one...

With that said, you can easily test it without going back to stock - use the FC09 multiboot utility to temporarily boot into stock. I'm 90% certain that 4g works in the temp boot, and the only difference between the temp boot and a permanent stock installation is that the rom is loaded from a storage location with slower read speeds, which has no bearing on signal strength, and very little effect (if any) on download speeds.

Is the new map reflective of wimax or lte?

If it's lte Epic 4g users obviously aren't getting it anywhere, regardless of the phone software - barring some heavy tinkering with the phone's guts.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Good point - I thought they stopped deploying new wimax towers before they started with lte... if that is correct, then the only possible answer is lte (it's impossible to add wimax coverage without adding wimax towers, lol)
[Epic 4G Android Development] nemt:
Based on the wimax service area it seemed pretty impossible for Sprint to add wimax coverage anyway. :silly:
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Exactly this... no new wimax towers have been deployed recently nor will there be...

I've come and gone between CM7 and CM9 since the Alphas and I'm trying to maintain CM9 full time but I have one major issue. Overnight on a few occasions my phone has decided to turn itself off and sit on the charging screen. Has anyone else experienced this? Not sure what could be the cause. It makes it hard for Alarm Clock Extreme to wake me up when the phone is off so I'm now relying on my work blackberry to wake me up, sad.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
my guess is you are getting a reboot, and since its plugged in when the reboot initiates, it stays at the battery screen.

Just gotta figure out what is causing the reboot.

I have this gibberish problem as well just make sure you

dont go over the 160 characters look to the right of the box and it should tell you when you get to the last 10 characters send it and just type the rest of it and send that until your done. I know its a pain... but so far thats all tht works.:D
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I know it, but you'll be starting from a clean slate and will eliminate pretty much everything that could be causing the problem.

Anytime I've started from scratch, I've gone from like 75 apps to about 30-35 because I realize some of them are completely useless and I don't use anymore. Maybe you use all 100+ apps (or however many) you have installed, I just know I personally do not.

She could, but bringing data back could introduce whatever problem she's currently having. This is a viable option and will probably work the majority of the time. But if it doesn't, then it's no other choice than to literally wipe it all clean and not bring anything back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
Doubt it what she's describing is a bad download... nothing with app data could of possible thrown her into a bootloop. I've seen this before and is usually an incomplete rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Agreed, which is why I stated before to verify the MD5s match. If they do, then maybe it was just a bad flash, not a bad download. If they don't match, then a re-download is in order and will hopefully get her back on the right track.
[Epic 4G Android Development] revaaron:
ok, I removed GoSMS cause it was putting in the 1/2 and 2/2.. annoying. And it looks like normal SMS are working over 160 with the native app. DesktopSMS isn't working though over 160 which is super annoying since I was thinking of paying for a year of service on that.

SMS2PC does the symbols thing too, but the symbols actually show up on google voice.

[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I saw your post below about GV not putting in sent messages, which irritates me too. Oh well, no real way seemingly for it to do it. Doesn't make sense how your phone could know you sent a message via the desktop.

There should be an option in GoSMS to get rid of the '1/2' '2/2' headings when sending multiple texts. I know there is in Handcent because that crap drove me crazy too. However, I've had messages come in before out of order, and that feature did help a bit.

All is well, thanks to you and Marcus. While I was at it, I upgraded the modem to EL30. Haven't done all of the testing yet. One thing was a blessing -- the new Google Play Store (formerly Market) automatically downloaded the 126 apps that I got from there. In the past, it kept a record of paid apps only and didn't automatically download. It saved me hours of work! I just have to get my apps from Amazon. It's a happy Pup ;-)

[Epic 4G Android Development] faceless:
i came here to post this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Every release candidate was a nightly, once. Probably from a few days ago, if not more - they need time to test any given nightly enough to decide if it can be a release candidate ;)

So there probably is a difference between the recent nightly and the RC - the nightly is most certainly newer and less tested

UPDATE: A thread about RC2 in general indicated that it has CWM 6.0.0.2, so the first nightly to make that switch is probably the oldest the RC could be - but that isn't guarenteed, they could have packed the newer CWM into an older nightly... just food for thought until we find out more
[Epic 4G Android Development] DCRocks:

[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
If the problem is actually caused by lack of available ram, then increasing the buffer size will mean you need even more ram, making the defficiency between what you have and what you need even greater... try a smaller setting and see if it shows any improvement? (I might be wrong, but what can it hurt?)

Regarding problem with multitouch games

i have looked evrywhere, but couldnot find a solution or even an attempt to fix the "unfortunately ------- has closed" issue while playing multitouch games, like gangstar, gta,spiderman etc. a solution for htc devices have been found. will the developers please try solving this issue. it literally makes the phone impotent in the gaming arena!!:(..
[Epic 4G Android Development] nastypup:
OK. Part 2 of original question:

Do we report issues with RC2 here or in the nightly thread?
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
My guess would be to keep RC reports in the RC thread (even though the title is not yet updated, it just makes sense to keep nightlies and RCs separate)

Camera17 - MIUI Camera on CM9

I hope this doesn't violate any rules! If it does, please let me know and I'll delete this post. I did some quick searches and didn't see information about camera17 posted.

I loaded up the MIUI rom a little while ago to check it out. I like CM9 much better, but I loved the camera in MIUI. The auto flash works properly, it focuses properly, and reviewing the pictures in the gallery from within the camera app is lightning quick. Basically, the camera17 app works great, unlike my experience with the camera1 app on CM9. I had even tried installing 3rd party camera apps, but they don't take control of the dedicated camera button on the phone...

So, I fired up Titanium backup in MIUI and backed up the camera app, restored my nand backup of CM9, and then restored the MIUI camera app in Titanium. The MIUI camera app, named Camera17 in Titanium takes over as the default camera app when you press the dedicated camera button on the phone. It works great on CM9. You'll have to restore it every time you upgrade CM9 as the CM9 camera app will be set as the default again.

I've attached the apk two ways. One is the actual apk and the other .7z is the Titanium backup compressed. It's a .TiBkp file, but I couldn't upload that file type, so I zipped it with 7zip. I would recommend downloading the .7z file, unzip it, and copy that to your phone. Then open that on your phone and Titanium Backup will open and allow you to restore it. Titanium needs to restore it as a system app. You just need to restore the app, not the data, when prompted.

Sent from my SPH-D700 CM9 RC2 ANDROID 4.0.4
[Epic 4G Android Development] smoke_007:
I hadn't used that feature, so I just went and tested it. Sadly, no, LED for video recording does not work. I tried it on both of my Epic phones with CM9 RC2 just to be sure.

I should also add something else I found out about the video settings. You do NOT want to try and change the video record quality setting as it will make the camera app crash. Once it crashes, you can't get back in to the video settings to fix it. I had to go in to Titanium backup and reset the app (clear the app data) and then it was fine again.

[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
Thank you. I like it a lot more. Like was said already no LED with video, & there's no FFC :o

Also why does in replace the cm9 camera? Why can't we have both running? Any one got any idea why not?

Edit

Ok I think I have the answer to my question, both cameras are "Camera.apk" so do you think I can pull the Camera.apk from the cm9 zip & rename it to "Cameracm9.apk" & push it to /system/app/ and have both cameras on my phone?

Edit again...

Ok so I did what I was talking about & it works fine with both cameras the only problem is that the camera button. Brings up the cm9 camera. Any one know how to change it? I would like the MIUI camera to be the main one & just have the cm9 camera there in case I want it for the FFC or idk somthing.

[Epic 4G Android Development] DCRocks:
Not sure if you got this resolved, but what I would try is to dl a different camera app from the market, and then the next time you press the camera button, you should be prompted as to what app to launch, and be able to pick a new default

So I flashed RC2 just to check it out and see if it was any smoother than RC1, it seems about the same. It's so nice to see CM9 get to this point where the ROM is practically flawless.
