It depends on how much of your data you want to save. The install guide on the CM Status page has suggested apps for saving call logs, text messages and an app backup program. Titanium Backup can be used to a degree (don't restore system data). The install will convert you to MTD and install CM9. Make sure you are on CWM 5.0.2.7. You can wipe everything as an extra precaution to make sure to get a good install.

whenever i try to send a text over 160 characters ( making it multiple text messages) it sends a bunch of random characters instead ... why . and how can i fix
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shinydude100:
That's been answered time and time again, the answer is to set split messages over 160 on messaging settings.

This didn't work for me though it really seemed like it would work. I installed it and opened it. Got the dialog info about checking or verifying followed by a 9016 provisioning successful message. I proceeded to send myself a test voicemail. I got a 9016 message I received a voicemail but the app never downloaded the voicemail and calling into my voicemail the voicemail was not there so I don't know what happened to it but it never made it to the voicemail app but was deleted from the voicemail system as if the app had downloaded it. The positive is it didn't force close when attempting to do anything with it like the one from GB. However the settings view would smear if you scrolled it. I guess I'll have to put up with several 9016 messages for every VM I get until sprint voicemail works again. I am not comfortable switching to another VM provider to get the ease of the VM downloaded to listen to without dialing into VM. Perhaps we can try getting the app from another ICS device?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
If your new to cm9 and where not part of the original thread then you would not know. You have to go to your SMS settings and set it to send split messages once it reaches 160 characters. This will solve this.

MMS do not go through on wifi unless your using a messaging app like Handcent or Gosms. Which uses their servers to send the mms.

Sent from a phone...
[Epic 4G Android Development] wtogami:
Stock SMS app will send MMS while Wifi is enabled. It does so by temporarily disabling wifi and sending via 3G. It does fail for some people, we have never figured out why.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
Maybe it's type of wifi connection/router?

Mine sends fine over my own wifi at home. Haven't had a chance to test any others.

[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
That should not matter. We all have the same wifi chip in our phones. If you tell it to turn off wifi when an mms is sent, it should no matter what.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Is it possible that if it does not obtain a 3G signal fast enough the mms times out and fails?
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
This is my vote, or something very similar - I have seen the 3g finally connect (briefly) just as the mms times out. The workaround is to turn off wifi and wait for 3g to connect before sending an mms - it circumvents the issue entirely. Not convenient, but hardly a significant inconvenience either - more of a slight irritation for the less patient types :)

Another option that seems to work for me is to hit send and turn the screen off immediately - this works because I have wifi set to turn off with the screen (wifi has been causing severe battery drain for me because it seems to keep the phone from sleeping). I also have to unplug for this to work, because I chose the option that only leaves wifi on when charging.
[Epic 4G Android Development] StoneRyno:
I noticed the few times I tried to send mms that they timed out before 3g turned on.

I had problem with reboots on cm9 on my touchpad Anne not sure if this is supposed to fix that but doing fix permissions with cwm stopped the reboots.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
Lockscreen Weather is buggy. Sometimes it'll work fine and sometimes it will stop updating if set to geolocation. Rebooting doesn't fix. It eventually just starts working again then stops working again, and so on.

Also the time stamp doesn't update unless tapped twice or tapped once then toggle screen off/on.

I've been running the pre builds for a while now with stock kernel, shadow, and most recently the test kernel. Everything for the most part has been working great. The only thing I've noticed is my Bluetooth disconnects and reconnects randomly from time to time. I don't know if it is my phone, CM9, or my Bluetooth device (although i don't remember this issue on TW). It's hardly a big issue as the dropout is fixed in about 20 seconds. On another note, my coworker has an nexus s, and our CM9 builds seem to be a few steps ahead of theirs. Great job and thanks devs!

We have heard scattered reports of Settings crashes with beta4-pre7. Please report exact step-by-step procedures to reproduce any Settings crash you experience. After we have confirmed this fixed, we will release CM9 beta4.

If you are using ANY 3rd party kernels or mods, you are not using CM9. Reporting bugs only confuses the developers and slows down releases.

[Epic 4G Android Development] -SpeedofSound-:
First off, a HUGE THANK YOU to all of the CM developers!! I truly appreciate all the CM team does for us!!

I already reported this in the google+ thread for beta 4 but figured I would post it here too, to see if anyone else had the same problems. On beta 4 pre 7 everything seemed to work fine for me until I tried to sync bluetooth to my 2012 f150 sony nav radio. It worked flawlessly on beta 3, but once I updated to beta 4 pre7, my bluetooth would no longer sync with the sony radio for many tries. After about 12 tires, it finally sync'd but while sync'd it would lock up my voice recognition on my micrsoft sync. I tried a clean install of beta 4 pre 7 and still same thing. I went back to beta 3 and it works flawlessly again.﻿

Cheers!
[Epic 4G Android Development] propjockey:
Speed, I posted a Bluetooth issue too about a page back. Not quite as bad as yours, but some random dropouts without range or anything changing. I mostly notice it while using Google music and streaming through my Bluetooth hands free device in the car. I might get 2-3 dropouts on my 15 min drive to work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
If what is enabled? The new option? That much would make sense...

Tap on what? The same setting? I'm guessing this "it" is not the same "it" from above...

The confusion is that you refer to two parts as "it," with no description to differentiate between the two... clear up that ambiguity, and your report may be more helpful (which is all I'm trying to be - sorry for having to pick apart your words to do so, it isn't meant as a personal attack...)

Bug reports should be so precise that anyone else following it should have trouble not duplicating the bug. This way, testers can determine if the bug is part of the rom, or just a borked installation/user error etc. Although in truth, it would be better if users could determine that much on their own (by re-downloading and installing, etc.), before making a bug report that could turn into a "I can't follow directions, and I want everyone to know it" report ;)

I'll see what I can do about duplicating and describing this bug later on, hopefully this evening (too much to do, not enough time...)
[Epic 4G Android Development] propjockey:
The way I experience the problem was to disable then enable the IME selector option in settings. Then when attempting to type something, the selector shows up in the notification bar. When this is touched, the option to switch the keyboard or configure input method pops up. When the configure button is pushed, settings attempt to load but quickly force closes. I hadn't noticed until Zeinzu posted, but after trying what I believe he described,I had the same fc.
[Epic 4G Android Development] offtohavasu:
I think Bluetooth is a "back burner" issue because it sorta works for now. I've reported an issue with Vlingo where it supposed to listen over Bluetooth, but it cuts to speakerphone instead. On the stock roms it works fine. I think they're trying to get the major bugs ironed out first.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Maybe you can provide a logcat Zeinzu if it is reproduceable to help them solve the issue.

Agree whole heartedly, as I have done the same. Just my observation from what I've seen, and don't disagree with their approach.
[Epic 4G Android Development] wtogami:
Bluetooth fixes are too late for beta4, we have some new theories for later.

Try this if you are having Bluetooth trouble:

Does it behave the same plugged into power as when it is running off battery?

Power prevents the CPU from going into deep sleep. We suspect bluetooth is failing in some circumstances while the CPU is in deep sleep when it shouldn't be. Your test results will help us to determine if this theory is correct.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
1. Wtogami asked for clear bug reports about the crash immediately after your initial post about that bug

2. He stated that none of the developers were able to reproduce the bug using your description

So far, two points that disprove your assertion that I was the only one who felt that your description was insufficient...

3. Another user described the same problem in much more detail, and it made sense - I understood it without having yet seen the new option (I still haven't been home long enough to download the update on a stable connection)

I clearly stated the purpose of my analysis - to help you provide better information to the developers, so that they could reproduce, and therefore find and fix, the bug. I also made a point of stating that a personal attack was not part of my purpose, and even offered a preemptive apology in case you still felt attacked... Serious question - what else could I have done to be honest and helpful, while simultaneously avoiding bruising your ego? If the two are mutually exclusive, then I should forewarn you - I will choose helpful honesty over ego-stroking every time.

I would advise you to learn how to take constructive criticism, because life kinda sucks when you can't - it will feel like everyone is out to get you (well, everyone who cares about you enough to correct you, instead of joining the rest who laugh behind your back when you're wrong... and yes, I care - we're part of the same community, with the same basic goal - improving the Epic)

Back on topic, has anyone tried changing the number of sms messages before mms conversion? On the first two beta 4 pre- releases that I tried (3 and 5, to be precise), this setting doesn't stick, and seems to change for unknown reasons. Sometimes it converts at 161 characters, and the setting has changed to 1. Other times it will be set to 2 (and behaves accordingly). Once, it had changed to 5...

Related to this, on pre5, I went to the messaging app's settings screen, then hit the menu button and selected "reset to default settings" in an attempt to fix the above mentioned annoyance. The mms conversion setting (and several other options with numerical values) were all set to a placeholder variable (%s or something similar, which usually refers to a string...).

I will check both of these on a clean install of pre7, but for now I'm wondering if anyone else has messed with these settings, as well as the results (bug? No bug?)

[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Update on one of the issues I mentioned in my last post - the "reset to default settings" function behaved the same way (I skipped to pre 8 since it was available before I got around to downloading pre 7), but I think I wasn't thorough enough in my previous testing. While the values initially displayed as the string variable placeholder, exiting and re-entering the settings screen caused them to update to the actual default values - it may not have been a bug, but it is fixed if it was :)

I have not yet experienced the other issue, with mms conversion settings changing to seemingly random values. I do have a theory, or rather a question for the developers - is this a setting that can be set per contact, or is it supposed to be global? I ask because, when I first tried changing it, I accessed the settings menu from within a conversation thread, rather than the listing of all threads - it is reasonable to guess that my issue was actually a matter of different values for different conversations, such that the value I chose in one conversation would not affect any other - this could make it seem like my settings didn't stick...
