ISSUE: option to disable touchkey light does not keep after reboot.

just a fyi ... it wasnt listed in the status page.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kuzcoed:
Anyone got a installation guide on this? I don't understand which options to selecton Odin to get it to work and install correctly.

Thanks.

Does the recovery included with CM9 brick phones anymore? Bricked my last one and don't want to do that again.

EDIT: Just booted into recovery, and realized it wasn't CWM. If i flash CWM5 in odin, will that make CM9 unusable? Sorry for all the questions, just trying not to brick again lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garfnodie:
As long as you follow the direction, it shouldn't brick. after you odin cwm, wipe all a few times for good measure, maybe run calkulins format all as well, then flash cm9, then flash gapps and you should be fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] atanous:
Will this brick if you format data
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darkfire2024:
If you use ICS recovery then yes. Use el 26 CWM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] farmerwill:
I'll try flashing a ROM not sure if you still are needing this so if someone could let me know first that would be great. I have a protection plan at best buy plus I work in the mobile dept. So IM not super concerned if my phone bricks. Haha

How long has your screen been on?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asteetva:
Notification and Counts!

I am trying CM after a long time...Just had a few questions. Is counts of the emails,sms etc not supported in CM9? Also the notification lights are not there for the same either...Do I need to download any apps for them? What are the best apps that I should download for CM9?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qfnol31:
I think an hour and a half, or a bit more... Not much today, but I spent a bit on the phone too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qfnol31:
This is a combination of bugs with 4.0.3, not least of which is improper reporting by Android. It's not a good reflection of what's really happening.

Looks like there is a new image for the 25th. Starting to resemble daily's!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bravo1565:
You mean like an update ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hellot1M:
Does this cm9 include force roaming like other cm9 builds on other devices? I've updated the prl to 11115 on stock ics but it would still not roam and I don't have a PayPal account to get roam control so I'm kinda dependent on cm9 atm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteWidows:
Does mirroring using a MHL adapter work?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oiad:
Yes. I just flashed it. Didnt notice much on the git for changes but thought I would flash it anyway.

If you go into settings > data usage and hit the menu button there is an option for enabling/disabling data roaming.

Anyone know how to remove the notification vibration/sound from the stock messaging app?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rlmiller:
What do you mean "remove it"?

you can edit, change notifications or silence....

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jhgti:
Within the messaging app menu settings
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steve97ta:
its weird, you go in messaging and as soon as you select type message 2 vibrations and the notification goes off. Didn't find it in the messaging app though

**EDIT**WTF alright my phone must have been tripping out....Did a reboot and everything is good. Sorry for confusion
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Scuddster:
Thanks for that comment. I turned on text signal and its maintaining about -75 or -80 where I used to have full bars. Also noticed my 1 bar wifi changed to full strength when I changed to the 2.4ghz band instead of 5.0ghz. Guess its not liking 5.0ghz? And I actually was sitting almost on top of the router so its not distance. Lol. Think I might try another modem just to test.

sent from Transformer Prime cranking it out with WSG customs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] air2k57:
For those complaining about battery life...

Had same issues, till I flashed fd26 kernel plus modem, since then, as good as any other ics build. This build is definitely most reliable when compared to aokp and code name. No signal bars stuck while on 4g, picture when new SMS in notification bar, no keyboard won't type bug, overall snappier, and 4g doesn't go into unknown state.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
I have all my auto syncs disabled as well as pulse notification and hepatic feedback
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Lmfao.

Ridiculous suggestion.

If I turn my phone off it gets great battery life too. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Explain how it is a ridiculous suggestion? Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Turning auto sync off is gimping the phone, turning the brightness down makes it hard to read especially in sunlight.

(And auto brightness on every Samsung device I've ever used is useless)

We just need the source released, battery life will surely improve from there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] air2k57:
Personally, I like to enjoy the experience on my phone. I don't want to need to disable syncing for my email, gimp the screen with lowest brightness, or avoid using my phone for it to last. I'd rather be able to have decent battery life with good usage, versus amazing battery life with it idling all day lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Email isn't important to me. And I have brightness 50% now actually.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steve97ta:
I wouldn't worry about battery life which is always a topic with every rom. Make sure the electric bill is paid lol. This is ics with no source and devs are still tweaking so they can have this for everyone in here. Awesome rom definitely worth checking out and a daily driver.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
Edit: rebooted again and camera works.

After this morning's reboot, I got this message with the camera app. Can't snap photos. Worked yesterday. Tried toggling storage settings, but still a no go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steve97ta:
Try unmounting and then mounting the sd card? Haven't gotten this error
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] luckychef28:
Music just started playing (very faint) when my last email notification came in, or at least that's when I noticed it. I don't have any music apps open. The last thing I listened to was Pandora in my car, which is on Bloodhound Gang, but this is playing Sublime, Ball and Chain, and it keeps looping the song. CPU usage shows mediaserver on top. Oddly, if I turn the volume up it stays up for about 2 seconds then reverts back to about 30%. Anyone else have this happen, or know why?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
Couldn't agree more.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
I admittedly don't have anything too insight to share other than that I'm pretty happy with this ROM overall. The biggest problem I really hope to see squashed is the occasional LOS (biggest problem I've encountered on all AOSP roms.)

I'm convinced that it isn't the modem. Same experience using EL29 modem up to the latest. Oh yeah, also whatever the bug is that makes certain apps freeze causing you to reboot (for me Temple Run even after latest update and Amazon app.)

Overall this is an awesome ROM and just waaaay more cool than any TW out there IMO.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] luckychef28:
Alright, so something is triggering the media server. I had to reboot to stop it before, now it's started again. It's just starting up my music files out of the blue. Thing is, I've never used any of my stored music, EVER, on this rom - I only ever access my music if I'm driving in a dead zone.

As much as I love my music, this is a odd problem, an annoyance and, HUGE battery drain.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
What music apps do you have installed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] luckychef28:
Google Music, AOSP Music, Slacker, Pandora, TuneIn Pro. This is pulling from my SD card - I have no stations set to They Might Be Giants (the last song played), and the songs just repeat.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steve97ta:
Sounds crazy. I would've gotten done laughs here at work for that. I'm running power amp for about 2 hours nothing like that happening
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CrispyCritter:
eh?

Disabling Auto Sync is not "gimping" the phone. The only thing it changes is that if you have an app such as gmail, hotmail, etc, you have to manually hit "refresh" when checking them. No biggie there at all.. In fact, I find auto synch to be quite annoying at times if I have it one. Too many notifications popping up all over the place such as new emails, messages, etc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] luckychef28:
I thought it might be tied to the notification sound triggering the server to launch it's own "custom" notification, but I can't seem to force duplicate that. I'm at a loss. I flashed over from AOKP 2 days ago and it only started doing it this morning; twice so far, but not since the last reboot. Wait and see, I guess.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vrekk:
Because our notification led won't let our CPU sleep is there a we can use something like BLN on the captivate? Once we get a kernel source that is. The lights will be on and that will lower life but if the phone can be in deep sleep and can notify us that we have messages that would be awesome.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] luckychef28:
Alright, waited for it to happen again and went through aLogcat. Alarm Clock Ultra Pro was setting off a phantom alarm. I downloaded it yesterday and haven't even set an alarm with it yet. It stopped when I cleared data in TB, but I think I'll just get rid of it and look for another option.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reinaldistic:
Does anyone know if we have USB host capabilities on this rom?

Camera Issues

Hey all! I've been loving this rom beyond all reason. Unfortunately, my camera is now having issues. It says my SD card is full when it isn't even close to being full. Also, my gallery isn't showing my original pictures anymore. I don't know why all this stuff just randomly happened, but any help would be appreciated. If I have to reflash fine, but at least there might be a way to help anyone else who has this problem :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wabem:
Well if you have the FD24 Kernel (FD26 also?) I think that it disables internal SD for some reason... To quote xlamian...

Hope this helps!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
System settings, storage, menu button, check "Use internal storage". Might need to reboot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jweavis:
I was never able to see the /emmc directory for my SD card using ES File Explorer. Using Directory(whatever) to map /emmc to /sdcard/external_sd dupliacated all my entries in Gallery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] im0rtalz:
Go to es file explorer settings and make sure Up to Root has a check mark, then you should be able to browse and see /emmc

I use this file explorer, no need to bind directory's it will see emmc as sd card

https://www.dropbox.com/s/gz3527obygxaruz/MiFileExplorer_v2.3.7.30.apk
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
Another option would be to download the app ICS CAMERA from the market. It gives you the option of where to save pics. However, if you use the camcorder to SD it will close
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
If anyone in here is reporting bugs and not using the issue tracker you should at least give an idea of your setup. The only way to truly diagnose bugs is to check them on a clean install of the rom as that is what is actually released.

Flashing a different kernel, mod, theme, editing your build.prop, downloading third party apps are all factors which can influence the way the system behaves.

I encourage any topic or issue people feel they should share in this thread to include their basic setup should it deviate from stock to help understand what's going on.

As lots of people would say, if you have an issue, flash back to the original zip, the way the ROM was built, minus any tweaks / apps you have installed and check for it there. If it exists then its a bug. Check the issue tracker to see if its been mentioned. If it doesn't exist on 'stock' then there is clearly an issue with something you're applying.

And yes, there is a difference between a bug and feature request. Just sayin'.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
You got a thanks for this. It makes me happy to see someone try to figure out their problems, checking a logcat, and letting us the community know about it.

This has so much more value than the typical "battery sucks so bad, I'm going back to xxx gb rom" comments that seem to the trend these days. I think I'll thank another post of yours; you deserve it for making my day.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] junkshow:
I thought darch said somewhere that once he have kernel source he was pretty confident the notification light/CPU sleep issue could be fixed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vrekk:
If that's the case then even better
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
The CPU light isn't an issue. Its just the way Samsung made the phone. The only 'fix' we have is that it might just use a little less battery. But it is still going to prevent the phone from going to deep sleep.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Finally took the plunge on trying this out. Cant wait till its 100%.

Even using firefox feels very snapy very fast. I mean Fx has its usual problems but its faster. Im liking this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steindog99:
Can this ROM be easily unrooted and rooted at will so that apps that won't work on rooted phones can work when you need them?

Thanks in advance...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dudebowski:
If there aren't wireless broadcast radios running in your area on 5Ghz band then you're just letting your phone scan constantly in the background for something that's not there. Most consumer wifi (in the U.S. at least) is running on 2.4. If you have no need to connect to a 5 (you would know because you sought out a dual band router) then leave it on either 2.4 only or auto which will scan both bands.

Also, there is a dead zone of about five feet radius from any router due to the nature of the Tx/Rx signal from a wireless radio. you're probably putting unnecessary strain on both radios having them directly on top of each other by causing amplified feedback loops.

Updates on the SD Issues

Ok so I figured I'd go ahead and put up my progress with this issue so far. I tried reflashing. The problem went away, but I also found another problem. I am running the stock version of CM9 Alpha 3. When I dismount my external SD card and reinsert it, I can no longer find it. It does not show up in the storage settings, but it does let me know about the card in the notification bar. I tried flashing AOKP build 34 and ran into the same problem. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! :D

Also, can I install an updated kernel with this rom? Say if an updated kernel were to be leaked, could I flash that one?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neuteboomt:
Thank you for the info behind the kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Unfortunately with the latest sbrissen build I get constant Los (when using 3g or 4g) that only a reboot will resolve. I am on the fd24 modem.

Also, when I turn the screen off it continues to come back on by itself every 30-60 seconds. Constantly waking up.

Any one else experiencing this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sbrissen:
If you can get a kernel log of the los it would be helpful.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Currently at a memorial but I will try later tonight.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sbrissen:
Awesome, ty
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Is the screen coming on by itself a known issue?

Also, I should have mentioned that I flashed directly over the last alpha with no wiping (i saw it mentioned on your twitter that this was ok). I will try a completely clean flah tonight as well because I know it will probably yield better results.

SBRISSEN: thanks for your constant and continued work with CM9. Despite the little quirks of this rom I much prefer it over TW. Of course much thanks to DARCHSTAR as well!

Happy we're making progress with the kernel but for me personally I will wait it out with Alpha 3 stock kernel for a while because it has been working pretty damn well for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cheebahawk:
Did alpha 4 get released or are you just late to alphas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Specialksg1:
Take a looks couple pages back. Sbrissen released a build with his kernel from source.

Speaking of which, sbrissen, any chance we can get a .tar of the kernel so that we could mobile Odin between the two if we wanna use the camera? I'd really like to have my cake and eat it too :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
Yeah, that would actually be really cool! Pretty please sbrissen
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
Is there anything new in the new build beside the kernel? If so, would it be an update to load that and the swap in the fd26 kernel. I would rather keep everything working until the bugs are worked out of the mew kernel.

I thought that build had all kinds of issues, like camera and 4G problems. Maybe I'm mistaken.

Exactly. I mean i ditched the launcher a long time ago and I always planned on ending up on CM9. but who knew id be ready to stay now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
Tried Chrome...still FCs for me on startup. Also found out that I missed at least six calls because they would apparently go straight to voicemail for the caller, and texts wouldn't come in unless I rebooted, then they'd all come in at once. Anyone else having those issues?

I tried it for a minute. Had i been home I would have left it on a few hours but definitely have the screen coming on issue. Flash back to Alpha 3/FD10. I dealt with having the phone come on in my pocket and nearly buying a 30 dollar book on touchwiz leaks. Cant let that happen again.
