I just happened to have this page open lol She's all yours

http://goo.im/devs/chris41g/CM

Everything was good on hammertime until I flashed Machete. I've tried CM10 and Autoprime and the problem persists so I know it has something to do with the recent changes of the storage mounts. I'm about to "One-Click" FH13 and see if my media shows up there because if it doesn't, then may be able to format my card to save it. Thanks for the help, but can anyone tell me if their gallery is showing images from both internal & external storage?

Where was your battery at when you flashed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kryptonite16:
98%
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
amazing someone could make that statement after 26mins of heavy usage...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
98-74 in 26 min isn't the greatest. But I would consider looking into why. The task killer in the notification doesn't help, not saying its the sole cause but you can kill task by sliding them to the left or right in the stock app switcher so there is no need for it. Also get better battery stats and check for apps using an abnormal am mount of cpu
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mr_Milenko:
I mean, I'd assume it would if the ****ing screen was on 92% of the time in a 26 minute time frame.

The **** were you doing using the light from the screen to find your common sense you have lost in a dark room?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kryptonite16:
I said that because I bearly used it at all. All I did was go on Facebook and then I left it with the screen on.

---------- Post added at 01:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 AM ----------

I've had the task killer for ages. I know for sure, that is not the cause. I have it because even if I swipe the task it still leaves it open like YouTube and Facebook.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Censura_Umbra:
Screen was on......

Also, just use developer options so you can kill apps by holding back key
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
That and killing a task just forces android to reload it. But yeah if you want to make sure the app gets killed. Use the back button force kill option. It works awesome and that's one less app in your drawer. There is also another possibility. Your battery could be giving you a false reading. It may not have actually been at 92%. Mine has done this and I normally see the same thing. Battery discharges real fast. Even if I don't have the phone on. A full discharge of the battery and charging it over night will fix it right up. That's why its always good to give a build a day or two to settle in before judging battery. Cause there is a lot of things that can effect those readings.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kryptonite16:
well i guess leaving your phone on is pure madness these days huh?

---------- Post added at 01:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 AM ----------

yeah, i use the force kill option every time i exit my apps. as for the false reading, i'll make sure to drain my battery. thanks, i really appreciate the help.

Working sprint vvm download

http://epicaokp.blogspot.com/2012/05/aokpcm9-fixed-sprint-visual-voicemail.html

THAT IS THE VVM THAT I USE AND IT WORKS. THERE ARE NO ISSUES WITH IT WHATSOEVER ! GO TO THE PAGE AND DOWNLOAD THE SPRINT FE10 AND INSTALL IT AFTER ROM, GAPPS. ITS A FLASHABLE ZIP, AND NOT AN APK

FIGURED SOMEONE WOULD NEED IT :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thenimboo:
OMG YES! You just solved one of my main frustrations with CM9. I had the switching issue earlier, I just completely wiped my internal storage, my micro sd, everything and reinstalled cm9 just to fix it. The problem was originally caused by the switch between one of the versions of Alpha (I think 3-4), it switched the names of the directories, and then another alpha would switch it back, or to something else (like emmc was actually the micro sd, then next time external_sd became the micro sd, one time I think even sdcard became the microsd). So anyway cm9 really ****ed my cards up. This toggle will help a lot, thanks man :)

One question though. Before turning "use internal storage" on, I used Apps2SD to free up some space on my tiny internal (you know, the 2gb one). Apps2SD actually moved the app data to the larger internal storage (you know, the 11gb one). Now that I have "use internal storage" turned on, will apps2sd move apps to my actual microsd? I'd prefer it didn't. I'd rather the app data go to the larger internal storage instead. I'm suspecting that apps2sd might move apps to the sd card, because (if I'm understanding this correctly), before I turned the toggle on, CM9 believed that the larger internal storage WAS my microsd, right???

Please help me! I'm trying so hard to understand how this works!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Silentknyght:
Interestingly, I'm also having a problem with large file transfers (8GB of 3-12MB mp3s) to/from the phone; usually the external sdcard. It'll get so far, and then stall out. The computer file transfer window graphics keep moving, but the file doesn't change; clicking the "cancel" button doesn't ever complete the cancellation of the file transfer. Moreover, the phone is completely unresponsive, and I need to hold down the power button to get it to shut off. If I do them successively: each album folder individually, back-to-back, I have no issues. But what a colossal waste of time! :p

If my phone's overheating, though, I don't feel it. I've ordered a replacement scdard, in case it's a hardware issue.

Maybe this has been ask before but my GPS is not locking. Is there a flashable fix for this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
I have a folgers backed up, but I jumped over to JB yesterday and so far, it is 100% daily driver.

As far as CM9 goes, I didn't flash autoprime and there is a new one today, ThisIsAPort I think.

Wow....

It is madness to leave your screen on constantly and expect great battery life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fenixjn:
I keep reading some posts that indicate that wireless 4G tethering is available but so far I have not seen it work (as in, it disconnects from 4G and drops to 3G while enabled). The latest release does not even work tethering-wise. Any ideas?

(yes, yes.. I am aware I can tether using an app but native tethering sounds better)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kryptonite16:
I beg to differ because I get pretty good battery life on other builds doing the same thing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thenimboo:
I have the same problem. Was trying to transfer 6gb of data, kept stalling over and over again. This is on imrichbitch. It would stall after 1.5gb, then I'd pause it on teracopy, the phone rebooted, I'd wait a while, then start the copy again. Was really frustrating, because I was trying to get my titanium backup files back on my sd card so I could restore my phone.

We really need to get this fixed. Overheating shouldn't be an issue, my phone never did this before.

How is Superuser for you? The page says that superuser is kind of wonky, that made me decide not to try it. Maybe I should though.

How is Project butter? Noticeable difference? Or is this not the version where project butter works :(

Tried flashing nightly, phone locked on boot up

I decided it was time to update from Alpha 6 to one of the nightlies (Shabby's 8-12 one to be specific).

Flashed el29 direct boot via mobile odin, tried an update first, phone rebooted after update and locked up during CID boot animation and sat there a a while, decided that maybe I should try a clean wipe instead. Apparently something did flash cause I when I went to the recovery, it was the new recovery that flashed with the nightly, but wiped everything any way, then flashed the nightly again. Phone rebooted and once again, few minutes in, the CID animation locked up and phone just sat there for awhile before I gave up and went back to Alpha 6.

I've never had any problems flashing any alpha's or darch's test builds, but with there being custom kernals now, maybe I'm missing a step or something, IDK.

Any thoughts, suggestions, ideas?

Did you download using 4g on the phone? If so check the md5. Probably a bad dl? 4g does this all the time
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
i guess my main question would be... if you are going to flash an experimental, nightly build.. why would you go with an old one?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garfnodie:
I never download over anything but wifi, but I did forget to check the md5. I usually do check it, just forgot this time around.

It wasn't old when I tried, I've just only just now gotten around to posting about it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thenimboo:
It seems my CM9 is having major issues keeping my microsd and internal storage straight. They keep flipping back and forth. It has already done it once after a reboot, while on the same Rom (imrichbitch). This is a completely fresh install of CM9 imrichbitch, after having wiped the sdcard, and internal storage, everything. I was trying to fix this very problem. I have "Use Internal SD" checked in Storage>Menu>Storage configuration.

Right now, it seems that the "storage" section in options knows which is which.

This is how much space my microsd should have on it, so this is correct:

This is also correct for internal storage:

But my file browsers are not correct, though THEY USED TO BE, and on this very same ROM too. Not sure what is happening here. Note how it is saying my internal storage has 14.89gb, my microsd's storage capacity. Also of note, is that now external_sd leads to internal storage.

Obviously this switching is frustrating, as many apps have paths set to specific places, and now I have new folders duplicate folders being created on the internal storage and on my microsd. Screenshots, for example, have now created a folder on both.

Stuff like this happens:

Something odd, however, is that the camera app (which I set to save to sd card) saves new photos to the internal memory directory (which is really the microsd, mislabeled), which is what I want it to do.

WHAT THE **** IS GOING ON AND HOW DO I FIX IT!???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Toonlinkmaster25:
What file browser is that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Darkendes:
Ok, here we go. I'm going to try to break this down for anybody still confused by the storage setup. Somebody correct me if I get anything wrong here.

By default, all Android apps use the path /mnt/external_sd for storing pictures, media, backups, etc. It's supposed to be your micro sd card, and most phones don't have any other storage space.

However we have two storage options: internal storage, and an optional micro sd card. In CM9, internal storage is mounted to /mnt/sdcard, which Android apps do not use for music, pictures, backups, etc. Your micro sd card is mounted to /mnt/external_sd, which Android apps do use for music, pictures, etc.

Now, we are used to our apps using our internal storage because of how Samsung set up the mounts in TouchWiz. It's a crappy workaround that basically mounted your micro sd card in a directory INSIDE your internal storage folder. It sucks and shouldn't be used. So if we want to keep on using our internal storage for media and backups, we need to swap the /mnt/sdcard and /mnt/external_sd mounts and make our Internal storage mount point /mnt/external_sd so Android directs all the app data there (micro sd then becomes /mnt/sdcard). You accomplish that by checking the "Use Internal storage for apps and media" box in Storage config options. And since we're all used to using Internal for everything, that box is already checked in all of the newer CM9 builds, meaning if you flash a build and don't change any settings, music, pictures, and app backups will be stored on your internal drive.

In some apps, it assumes you have a micro sd card mounted to /mnt/external_sd, so it will say something confusing inside the app itself like "External storage: <lists your internal storage>". In the case of Titanium Backup, if you used to have your micro sd mounted, for example, to /mnt/external_sd and then you use a newer build which has the mount points swapped by default, Titanium is looking for your sd card where your internal storage is now mounted. Change the "Backup Folder Location" to /mnt/sdcard, and your backups will show up again.

This is confusing a lot of people. It's not that hard to understand once you know what's going on under the hood...

tl;dr "Use Internal Storage" does not make all your apps store data to a different location. Apps will always use the same location (/mnt/external_sd). Instead, it swaps the mounts themselves to make /mnt/external_sd your internal storage.

Cheat sheet for all newer builds:

If the "Use Internal" box is checked:

/mnt/external_sd = internal storage

/mnt/sdcard = micro sd

If the "Use Internal" box is NOT checked:

/mnt/external_sd = micro sd

/mnt/sdcard = internal storage

I hope this helps clear things up a bit.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bonobomidwest:
Just search this very thread for GPS - You'll find loads of discussion. Different people have different issues, so you'll find anumber of different solutions. Also follow the links in the OP to the team epic site, and you'll find in several places that they mention that you need to have a GPS lock in a GB ROM, powerdown immediately, and then do the full flash of cm9. They even have a nifty little app that will boot once into a GB rom to let you do this.

Honestly, I read, re-read and triple read the instructions, and checked out the various tutotrials until I was 100% clear what to do to avoid an emmc brick, GPS problems, etc. I know it's a little confusing with the procedure changing over time, but taking that time totally paid off for me. I've been running the alpha 6 ROM since the first install wihout any problems.

I have found that 4G seems to interfere with GPS in google nav ONLY. So simply turning 4g off is a solution for me. Also i like to download the maps so i don't need to be online to use google maps (googlemaps>menu>make availabel offline). I'd also reccommend "GPS test" - it's a great app for troubleshooting GPS (and you can use it to restart the GPS... settings>clear AGPS or settings>update AGPS, which resolves GPS issues for some people).

hope that helps

Solid explorer beta 2.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vinscuzzy:
I was on 8/12 nightly and gallery and Google music was able to see pics/mp3 from both internal and external. I flashed a new kernel, installed Google now and after that my external and internal got swapped. I toggled the storage option in settings and they flipped back to normal. Ever since then my gallery has only only been able to see pics on the internal. Same with Google music. I tried media scanner in the market, didnt help. Tried out JB, same thing, this morning I wiped data/cache/dalvik and flashed Folgers. My gallery still only sees the internal card. Solid explorer sees both, but not gallery, Google music, or Droid Iris.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] todivefor:
Chris41g explained this to me as I had not had this problem on any other ROM either. CM9 has something called thermistor (don't ask me what that is, lol) that has something to do with heat. I captured a last_kmsg log following a copy failure reboot that I passed on to Chris. This is one line from it:

[ 362.385510] sec-thermistor sec-thermistor: notify_change_of_temperature: uevent: TEMPERATURE=410

The reboot is a safety measure. Chris' suspicion is that charging during copy could be the problem. He recommended trying another port or cable. He also suggested turning charging off. Someone, drinxtir in IRC, said there is a hidden menu to do this. Chris suggested a number of apps to do this. I have not been able to find anyway to accomplish turning charging off. If anyone can help with this it would be appreciated. Chris, feel free to correct anything I have said.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] billman99999:
After I became familiar with logcat to post logs on my 3G problems I flashed Folgers and my 3G works perfectly. Now I'm hoping someone can educate me on how GPS is suppose to act in this certain situation. I get a great lock reasonably fast so no complaint there. Maps and Nav work beautifully but i have noticed GPS will not maintain a lock once these apps have been closed. This seems to affect geotagging and what not. Even if I relaunch maps or nav later on with GPS having been enabled the whole time it takes as long to acquire a signal than it would if I had just enabled GPS. If I recall from early on when the epic touch was first being rooted many people complained of GPS sleep on stock gingerbread tw. I think I even remember someone posting a downloadable fix for that once root was obtained. Is this a hardware issue or is it a bug or is this proper behavior? I have read countless people complaining about lock on CM9 but nothing on a "sleep" issue.

Chris is a machine .. always pushing out more and better builds. Thanks for all the work flashed newest one HighLife and things are looking good and running good .. if possible when time permits I still hope the vibration could be a lil higher but that is not a killer of a deal just a personal preference
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
Try going into haptic settings under advanced and raise it to 100%. Should be high enough.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalek_Caan:
Thanks but already did that .. as I said not a big deal it is lower than 100% used to be and it can be hard to tell it is vibrating in my pocket at work where I need to keep it quiet, but in no way would it keep me away from using the ROM just a thought of something could be tweaked later if possible.

Yea don't worry. Some people are just a-holes that think everyone else is geeking their lives away and that everyone should "know by now". If you sort Chris' work by date the newest one is the latest one but best to check to make sure it is stable or by reading what people post about the build..... unless of course you feel adventurous.

From what I understand - the nightlies use Chris's builds, but not all of Chris's builds become nightlies (as he pumps out multiples per day)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Enigmah5:
I have been experiencing this lately as well with Chris' builds. I had to revert back to RC13 kernel where it worked perfectly. With these new builds/kernels (and I have been told by others who know much more than I that it is indeed a kernel issue), my Wifi connection disconnects after a few minutes or so. The annoying issue, however, is that it doesn't completely break the connection once it is lost. It just hangs there (wifi indicator greyed out in the notification bar) until I toggle airplane mode on and then off. No data (including texts of any kind) can be received until I have done so.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
so its not just wifi? how is wifi affecting your text? can i get a log? or maybe some of the info you had to of sent these other people before they could have possibly made an educated diagnosis...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deaver_92:
Ya mine's not that bad. The wifi just disconnects from the router and then reconnects right away. I've experienced this on multiple routers so I know it's the phone. I thought maybe the modem but if the modem works fine for other people it shouldn't be that. I'll try sundayfunday and see what happens.
