does anyone get random reboot and then the battery showed drained? plugging into a charger the battery jumps back to where it was. ie. showing 50% reboot, shows 0, plug in charger shows 50% again. running usual suspect nightly and fh13 modem. did a cache wipe before installing. did not do factory reset/wipe

Battery Problems

Yes just saw this again today on wafflefries. While I was watching it just shut down without any warning or progress indicator. Really looks like battery died. If I wasn't at work in the middle of something I would have gotten a log on it.

Turned it back on and it showed over 60% battery left. Weird thing is that the phone actually wouldn't turn on until I plugged in the charger, so maybe it is a battery calibration issue. I tried the erase battery settings after charging for several hours to 100% but that didn't seem to help.

Weird.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SPattle:
Quick questions.. I'm on usual suspect right now and its working well.

I want to upgrade to the newest nightly and I want to do a data wipe between. I dont understand exactly how titanium backup works. I've used it to make a backup before but I don't know how to access that information to restore it.

Can I just do a batch backup of everything listed then wipe? I don't know where the backup is stored and if it's going to get wiped too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Silentknyght:
Backup is stored on /sdcard/TitaniumBackup, or any other directory if you so chose. These partitions aren't wiped when you "wipe data" via the recovery option, though the installed application itself will be wiped. I typically just re-download the app, and it works fine "out of the box." I usually (but not always) backup/restore apps only; on occasion I'll also backup/restore system data, but that seems to have the most issues with a new build.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:

just did that, phone won't boot up now crashes after boot screen. was having issues with phone locking up when copying from SD card. hopefully i can go back to usual suspects or try out cm10

-update: yea phone is dead. had 80% on battery, won't let me go back to usual suspects, only one that would start installation is bombsquad, during installation phone would die. plugged it in and battery was dead. guess i can use my upgrade now.

-update: let phone sit for 30 minutes charging. kept phone on charger. full wipe, reinstall of bombsquad, it would only let me reinstall bombsquad. booted up successfully. we'll see how things go.

-update: random reboots =(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rooster85:
And you come on here wondering where your battery drain is coming from?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DSouljah:
In case that is a question: no I don't come on here and wonder at all. To clear up my intentions, I'm just lending out my experience running the "experimental" builds. I figured I was helping anyone who is wondering the state of the current build when flashing over the previous build and trying helping out the devs in the same process!

FYI - this method has worked perfectly fine for me when flashing the past 15 or more builds. (Refer to "Upgrades" on e4gtcm.blogspot in cm9-install-guide.html).

If my input isn't helping then say so or if you have a real question that I could clear up for you and maybe others, please ask. Otherwise, I took your question/comment as you trying to be smart which doesn't help anyone and this is not the place for that. It's more appropriate in a PM if you have a problem.

If anyone else is wondering, seems to be an unusual drain on Bomb Squad. No FC on sam.sync I might add. I'm going to give it a day or two of running.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thedarksavant:
Thanks for the link to the install guide. More people need to see that so they know how to upgrade properly. I might put the link in my sig, but no one ever read the CM7 EVO FAQ I put together either :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JOEOZUNA4U:
it has been posted by Devs hundreds of times not to posts "bugs/problems" if you havent done a full wipe/fresh install. Even though a full wipe is not required sometimes its needed.

Customizing FAQ

Just found this and it might have solved my deep sleep issues. I kept wondering why my EVO's battery graph would completely flatten when it slept but my Epic's graph always has a downward slope. Turning off flashing LED is my next try.

http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/p/customization-guide.html
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t0mmyr:
the LED light has been a well known cause of non-deep sleep issues, it's best to turn it off, as well as the low battery light LED, i leave the battery charge LED on as it only works when charging and when its 90-100% full it lights up blue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jimbobtexas:
Battery drain really isn't the worst I've seen. Looks to be about 12%/hour, and I've been using it pretty heavily.

I'll report back after a full charge and see how it goes.

I did not do a clean install. In fact, I've flashed just about every ROM since Alpha 6 over the previous one, with no ill effects.

BombSquad, btw.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DSouljah:
You are 100% correct.

I keep up daily with these threads so before flashing over a build, I'll know if someone else has already tried it and hopefully know the outcome. This time I just wanted to return the favor.

Maybe I should have been more clear and I apologize for that. If anyone is running UsualSuspects and flash MonkeyBusiness while only wanting to do a wipe of cache, d-cache, and fix permissions, be aware I am seeing an unofficial bug/problem relating to an excessive amount of battery drain. Here's an update since I'm posting anyways. Running BombSquad over top of MonkeyBusiness past several hours and the drain seems leveled off. This is for those of us, like me, who do it "dirty!" Hats off do the devs for the hard work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] billman99999:
Just flashed monkey business so haven't tested it but my battery was going to hell on previous builds until I went into wifi advanced menu and told it to have wifi sleep when screen was off. Hope this helps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Aganar:
So if I went to stock fh13 and want to come back to cm9, do I need to flash back to el29 for safety, or am I clear to just flash this over it with data wiped? Running agat recovery and kernel as well if it makes a difference.

Sent from my CM9 Epic 4G Touch
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
You can flash right over. However, there may become a situation where the brick bug was supposed to have been blocked, but it still remained because of an accident. It has happened before. So if that did happen and a brick is caused, its all you. It should be safe. I don't ever go to el26 anymore. But the safer option would always be el26 especially when in doubt.

Great Battery...

Rom - 08-27-CM-E4GT-KANG.zip

Kernel - Packed (3.0.15)

Modem - FH13

SetCPU - pegasusq/sio

For those who care:

1) EL29 full restore - Formatted internal & external sd (only copied what I wanted back over)

2) ToolBox CWM

3) Flashed FH13 Modem Zip

4) Boot - updated profile/prl/gps lock

3) Flashed CWM5 Safe Zip

4) Wiped factory / cache / del cache

5) Flashed 08-27-CM-E4GT-KANG.zip

6) Flashed google apps

Battery Note: First charge went VERY fast (less than 4 hours). After it died, I did a full charge and it has been great since.

Only problem I have encountered is the "Touch Keys" not responding sometimes

Great ROM! Thank you for all of the hard work.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
Absolutely for sure you will benefit by restoring back to stock and then flashing again, just use titanium backup to save your apps.. but if you're getting reboots, then something is not right..

I was actually posting what Danton posted but he beat me to it..

If not please let me know. I was using Chrome on a mobile version of autotrader.com. Running bomb squad. Wiped cache and Dalvik 3 times before flash. Used recovery built into Monkey Business.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Read that guide again...you aren't supposed to wipe anything when upgrading. If I remember right its big bold or red letters right under the steps. Any who I followed the instructions and dont have any unusual drains after too many flashes in a row to count. I'd suggest for anbody running CM9 to use the initial and upgrade install guides. Too many variables to pinpoint asking hows battery life. Its been excellent for me on every build I can remember...over 20hrs with 2/3 hrs screen time. Besides the build hasnt even been out barely 24hrs, so without 2/3 full cycles, why even ask hows battery..just my 2cents. Thanks chris41g for all you do...this rom is pure excellence!

Thanks Dan. I actually saw this earlier and was thinking about doing this but was a bit apprehensive. I really hate to be that guy, but I'm going to need some help to accomplish this. I haven't done a clean install in forever (been doing dirty flashes on a regular basis though, so I'm familiar with a lot of it). If you, or anyone else, could answer some of my questions I would greatly appreciate it.

1) Does "Kernel - Packed (3.0.15)" mean that you are just using the kernel the ROM came with?

2) What exactly is an EL29 full restore? Did you go back to stock ROM? Could you possibly link to a file? How did you format everything (I remember using Calk's format all, is that it)?

3) Is ToolBox CWM just "ROM Toolbox"? If so what is this step about, why do I need to install that? Can't I just install the rooted EL29 with CWM? Am I missing something?

4) Where did you get CWM5 Safe Zip from?

I know how to do the rest. Sorry if these questions are annoying but any help would be appreciated!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
Bomb squad seems to be good.

I send mms quite a bit without issues. What have you tried to fix it? Try a clean install. Don't restore anything. Have 3g on and try sending mms. If I remember right, mms can't be sent thru wifi and restoring some data can break telephony.db which can lead to issues.
