Stock cm9 here.

[Epic 4G Android Development] TechnoGeezer:
I have a question & possible bug. After reading one of the posts a few pages back on setting the light levels, I decided to experiment by adding another level & changing various settings. What I found is that the new level is added at the end of the list and that the max level is limited to 3000, even though default is at 11,000 & sensor reads at least to 15,000. I couldn't find any way to set that last level to any above 3000, so adding more levels automatically restricts the upper range to 3,000 to infinity (& beyond!) Am I wrong on this or did I miss something? BTW, I did find some setting that are useful to me at least.

Need to edit - this is in Settings>Display>Automatic Backlight>Edit others levels>Set number of levels

Editing again - Sorry, this has been reported in CM issue tracker; I hadn't seen it discussed before.

No reboots here, I would check my OC settings, some governors seem to work better with different phones and versions. With beta 3 ondemand and 1200 works best for me. Previously I was using SAv2.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ProDriver77:
Not very often, but enough. Beta2 seemed more stable in this regard. May revert back to my Nandroid of it. Also did a clean install as well.

My wife's Epic is running the b3 and has never had a reboot, trust me I would be the first to hear about it.

No reboots in beta 3, installed over beta 2 with just cache wipes
[Epic 4G Android Development] hotpocketdeath:
No reboots, but I have locked up a couple of times. I still trying things out but I believe my cause was having the minimum clock set to 100mhz and seems my phone doesn't like coming out of sleep that low.

Maybe set your minimum to 200mhz and see if that helps.

I've been getting these random reboots or freezes myself. Uninstalling programs after re installing beta 3 zip to make sure it's not due to a program I use
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
i've been thinking about trying this, read through the changelogs and such. Still not 100% sure what works on this, is everything working now? Video, 4G, etc? Is battery life decent?

I assume no connection optimizer on this one? but working hotspot and google talk video and such?

and I can't use ACS recovery to flash this? I'm hesitant to go back to clockwork as it never worked right for backups, but I can always try again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
The paid version changes the kernel in ways that the free version cannot... (that's a yes, especially with the paid version)
[Epic 4G Android Development] wizzlewizzle:
So far to date, I'm managing 11 epic 4g's. I've got 8 of them running cleangb, which is so far the most stable version I would say in my opinion. I have a 3 of them on cm9 beta3. 2 of which run flawlessly my phone is running cm9 beta3 and I've had zero issues, except for connecting to a vpn which I believe is a known issue. The one notable difference with the phone that's rebooting is that when I odin flashed to stock, it would hang during the factoryrfs part the very first time I odin flashed. I just unplugged and re odinflashed about 2 times until it would complete the factoryrfs part. After that it seemed to be working, then the damn reboots/freezes. Since then its been a pain in the ass. I tried beta 2 and then beta 3, no go. I'm about to send this one back and call it a lemon..it also happens to be the only epic that is a remanufactured one, I don't know if that makes any difference.

You must have CWM to flash this; please check the links in my signature.

Everything you stated works, battery isn't as good with B3; they're tweaking and try things with each beta cycle.

if you're on a BML rom cm8 install will convert your system to mtd, the only way you'll be able to restore back (if you dont like cm9) is to odin and check repartition.

Can anyone enable the on screen key navigation button for the beta 3. I know its not necessary for the epic 4g but my physical stop working.

[Epic 4G Android Development] nastypup:
I had a random reboot during the night and the phone got stuck in a bootloop. As a result, my alarm didn't come on this morning. Luckily, I woke up on my own. The only other time I had a random reboot was last week while driving and using Google Navigation. Otherwise, the phone has been stable.

[Epic 4G Android Development] nastypup:
The biggest problem I continue having is I still lose wifi in some parts of my house where I never lost it before. My cheap tablets lock in wifi very strong while sitting right next to the phone and their speeds are much higher. Marcusant's ACS ROM, a few months ago, locked in the wifi signal very strongly everywhere -- so I know it's not my phone.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Grommish:
Tablets have a better antenna for starters. Go get Wifi Analyzer from the market and see what your strength in DB is when you hit your deadzones. The RSSI threshold on my epic is worse than my gtab10.1 and maybe below the ability to hold the connection.

The paid version modifies the kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
so is it not formatting the sd card then? only the internal system? so basically the same as going from rfs to ext4?

About the sound!

People with LOW Sound,

What was your ROM/Kernel/App before CM9?

Mine was CleanGB MTD 1.1.2/Shadow 3.0+/Voodoo Sound.

And the same for people with Sound OK.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ashbuly:
ERA Legendary 2.2/Samurai/Voodoo
[Epic 4G Android Development] JojoSteez:
Complete stock CM7 and no sound problems.

Syndicate Frozen 1.2 with genocide before that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chrishighs:
Running the beta for about 36 hours. No reboots, which were an issue for me before. Decent battery life on stock kernel for me, better than alpha5.

One thing that seems to be acting different is auto rotation. I toggled the settings in both homescreen and display, but once I slide out the keyboard, when I close it back it never rotates back to landscape from portrait view. Please forgive me if this has been covered. I have toggled the options as stated, and rebooted a few times.

Thanks to Devs for all your great work, I am ready to donate whenever I can get the BoA account details sent my way for a direct transfer of funds without PayPal taking our hard earned money.

Edit....I fixed with some more toggling. After toggling both settings>display>auto rotate and settings>launcher>general>auto rotate off, it at least rotates back to normal when I close the keyboard. At least for now when I need to rotate I can just slide the keyboard out.

My sound is fine coming from alpha 5, and alpha 0-4 before that. No issues for me whatsoever with sound via the speaker, earpiece, or bluetooth audio.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
Has anyone "having" the auto rotate issues tried submitting logs for the dev team? I would say take logs of when you toggle the auto rotate options, when your "attempt" to rotate, and when you slide out/slide in your keyboard. Maybe they can track down the variable that's causing this issue for "some". Personally I have no major issues and my rotation works perfect.

but i've problem on data connection, well i'm on indonesia, which my operator just base on esn (empty meid), which cause data connection problem because cm9 just try to connect with password by meid which is empty, not esn.

is there any way to fix it?

really want to switch to cm9...

[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Trial and error, you can try it if you'd like and see if it works. I would but I don't use vvm or gvoice either way.

[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Basically... rfs to ext4 isn't quite as extensive, because the conversion to MTD changes the overall partition map type in addition to the individual partitions - but that detail is irrelevant until you want to return to stock, because there is no flashable method for that conversion (odin/heimdall is the only way). That's the only important distinction to be aware of (if you can't odin/heimdall to stock, then you should probably avoid this because you won't be able to recover if the phone boot loops, etc)
[Epic 4G Android Development] lmf:
Sorry i dont have a solution but I share the same problem it roams for voice but not data. I looked at settings > about phone > and i would see mobile connection connected and disconnected seconds later, and a IP address is there. But no 1x in status bar, no data. Using the temp flash, it would show 3g right away after its been booted up. So something is wrong with b3. In beta 2, pageplus data worked fine. If there was a problem I would do the temp flash and fix it through QPST or ##3378# and let verizon OTA update my phone, and it would reset back to cm9 beta 1 or beta 2 and data is working. But since I installed beta 3, i cant get it to work and gave up and went back to cleanGB. I dont have time lately to keep on updating, fixing, etc.

I've found that if you type *#*#8778#*#* that brings up the phoneutil menu, but you can never make the phone connect as a serial connection. Also if you're to dial *228 it brings up the sprint activation screen instead of just dialing the number like it did prior to CM9.

Curious if there is going to be a fix for those of us on alternative carriers.

I don't care what the cm9 blog says... Don't restore data from anything!!!, I've been running cm9 since alpha1 & I've never had any problems with any updates EVER!!!

Any reason to think this would fix the insufficient storage problem? After running CM9 since the first Alpha, I finally gave up and went back to CM7 this weekend because I could not update any apps, I kept getting insufficient storage messages, despite the fact that I had plenty of space. I tried many other recommendations to fix that (wiping data in Play Store, wiping cache and dalvik cache several times), but I did not wipe all data, I may try CM9 again if I could resolve that problem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
You would need to wipe all data. You have scattered bits of data from those apps causing that problem. Install clean and redownload your apps or actually it should do it for you.

I just reinstalled beta 3 and gave up on using that inverted app. I'm getting used to the white. But I do like the tweaks that both mixer or cobalt gave them when I used their themes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Those are a different category of permissions... the "fix permissions" command, if I am not mistaken, refers to linux-style file permissions, meaning read, write, and execute, for three groups of users. This is the "----rwxr-x" type of information that can be seen using "ls -l" in terminal emulator or adb shell (or any linux/unix computer's command prompt).

If the main program file is missing the execute flag, the system won't know to run it as computer code, so the program won't function.

If the write flag is missing on a document (or settings/configuration file, for example), changes cannot be saved.

If the read flag is missing, the file cannot be read.

Unless I actually have this backwards, "fix permissions" refers to, and fixes, the types of problems mentioned above.

The high-level permissions used in Android are listed in manifest files, essentially fancy text files that state which permissions are required (and many other details about the app). There is no way for a low-level function like "fix permissions" to be able to correctly identify a problem with those permissions. It doesn't have any other way of knowing what permissions an app needs (other than this file), so it can't correct what essentially amounts to the master list - the system just reads the file and says, "as you wish, program"

Ran into my first "bug" in CM9, beta 3

Issue: incorrect display of the time on lock screen and in notification bar

When I hit the button to bring the screen on, the time was incorrect on the lock screen, I unlocked my phone, and the time in the notification bar was incorrect, locked my phone, and the time displayed on the lock screen was correct, unlocked the phone, time in notification bar was incorrect, relocked, time correct on lock screen, re-unlocked, time still wrong in notification bar

All times are correct after a reboot.

Running straight CM9, beta 3, no additional mods or themes added

This is the first and only time the issue has occurred for me so far

[Epic 4G Android Development] greenmuggy:
There's a bug tracker on the cm9 blog site
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
I have nine toggles in the notification bar. Usually it displays the first six and scrolls over for the rest. Every so often it randomly changes to displaying the first 4 and the toggle icons are much larger. When this happens sometimes it will just randomly correct itself and sometimes it stays that way till I reboot. Doesn't hinder usage, just looks weird. Obviously it's most likely a minor upstream bug. Just thought I'd mention it at least once in here.

Sent from my SPH-D700 CM9 ANDROID 4.0.4
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Absolutely - some force closes, for example, can be caused when the linux permissions get screwed up on a program file, preventing it from being accessed in the right way - for example, if the read permission on the settings file is somehow removed, the program won't be able to read the file, so it will return an error (it might create the file if it isn't present, but if it is there then the program won't understand why it can't access it - it just errors out). I don't know if that exact example is what causes problems in Android, but the general concept is the same. It could also be an executable that loses the executable flag - in linux, this flag is basically the only thing that differentiates a shell script from a text file.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:

[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
Flash it and set up your phone how ever you use it and find out. In general battery life is very subjective to each user.

Sent from a phone...
[Epic 4G Android Development] DCRocks:
Not as good as with tweaked GB ROMs, as data tends to drain the battery faster than under GB

Though if you use juice defender to turn off data, and have it auto turn on, you can see a significant improvement.

I can get all day with heavy screen on time, as long as data is off.

If battery life is more important than speed/options/running ICS, then I would not use CM9

Otherwise, CM9 has been awesome for me, and as I have an extended battery, along with several extras, battery life has been a non concern for me.

there is a whole battery tweak write up here: http://epiccm.blogspot.com/2012/03/battery-optimization-guide.html
