This thing kills my battery. Running stock I would get at least 10 hours heavy use on 3G. With this Rom I'm lucky to get 5-6 hours moderate use. I love it tho I jus may wait until an official Sprint or Release of CM9.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oddlou:
It's CM...no Sprint Hotspot app included.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garfnodie:
Don't need Sprint's Hotspot app, CM9 has it's own hotspot client baked in. It's in the wireless settings area.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AntikytheraTech:
Has anyone confirmed if the Mobile WiFi hotspot client baked into this version of CM9 supports tethering the 4G data connection? I have a GT10.1 wifi and use the hacked sprint tether feature in Calk's GB ROM almost daily. Thanks all!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robpet2:
Stock roms are usually going to give you better battery life than any Alpha or Beta custom rom. Be patient, a stable version is coming with some battery tweaks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nickespi:
GPS Seems to work ok, but there is major latency and takes longer than normal to lock.

It reverts to the tower location then searches, I also found if I toggle wifi and it help pick up the location. I don't think it is completely flawless as far as GPS goes
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garfnodie:
I haven't had any battery issues, but as someone else has stated, just try and be patient. As soon as they can get the kernel source, they can start tweaking the processor to get better battery life.

Is anyone running the fd02 kernel? Do you see any issues from using it? (the one that the OP posted)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
I was looking for the kernel only for this rom.. I have already extracted it though.. what I am doing is trying to restore a previous nandroid of CM9 that I used el26 to back up. I am wanting to restore that backup and then get the proper kernel back in. I have since just reflashed and then reinstalled my apps and settings.. but I wanted to have the proper kernel also so if/when I restore, I have the right files. I already have all that I need for CNA rom so I know its possible to do what I am trying g to do, I just need the kernel for CM9a2. I was posting so if anyone had a copy, I can just get from here, but I might already have what I need. I just waiting for clarification on how to flash custom kernels with sf's autoroot tool. I know I put in the copy2sd/000root folder, but the kernel from CM9a2 was labeled "kernel" and I think it needs to get renamed to "zImage" if I use the tool..

Anyone know if I need to rename the kernel to zImage when flashing through sfhub's tool?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Broded:
I'm using this as my daily driver, with my normal usage (music on almost always, lots of texting, 3-5 phone calls a day, N64 emulation), I get amazing battery life, I'm on the FC22 modem.

Just be patient with a rom, you need to let it settle, here was my battery after the first day installed.

And now

My only complaint is that I don't seem to be able to use my MHL adapter unless I'm on a stock rom, any reasons why?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesey:
I'm running it. No noticeable difference. Android os still eating battery like no tomorrow
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] charlesvw9:
Does it come with stock or custom recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AntikytheraTech:
Try going to system settings - display - then de-selecting the two LED notification boxes. This made a significant difference in battery life for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Just sayin, your first screenshot isn't cm9. :D

People with high android os should grab better battery stats. Helps to pin down what is really eating battery life and find out what's causing it.

Might and likely is kernel related as there is no source for the 3.0+ kernel on the sgs2 currently and the kernel we are using is still in development.

Point being at this point battery woes are not likely specific to cm
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesey:
Modem & kernel both updated to fd 02 and still 2 Sat Max on GPS. Has to be ROM related. This and Android OS battery munching are the major bugs

What's the link for the git repo and changes for our phones?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
This is darchstar's git:

https://github.com/darchstar

However they are other changes being made by other developers as well. So I dont know if this shows all of the changes or just some of them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garfnodie:
Here's the Github

What conditions have to be met before the Epic 4G Touch can be listed as a CM9 supported device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
It kind of is a supported device currently. We are listed on the google plus page. CM9 isnt in RC status yet so technically there are zero "supported" devices.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Broded:
You're totes right, must have been a screenshot while I was on a different rom...

Either way, the first few days on a new rom have pretty poor battery life in my experience, I tend to see things settle on day 4.

Now if only MHL worked on CM9..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
It will get added soon enough. I have my MHL adapter on the way.

Once ICS source finally drops I am sure many things will be fixed. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] genaro12543:
Can confirm the GPS though it doesn't seem to affect performance. I still get a perfect lock.

The high android usage issue is supposed to be resolved with 4.0.4. Its fixed for me at least.... i came from the nexus and was used to seeing the usage at over 20% but still easily got over 10 hrs of battery so it doesn't eat at ur battery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Android os typically munches between 40 and 80 percent of my battery. It mostly all stems from the kernel in battery stats... Alpha 2 did not fix my issue (and believe me I've tried every possible fix, check the general thread lol). You sir, have my envy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garfnodie:
Don't understand all the battery issues everyone is having. Did a full wipe for alpha1, nothing wiped for alpha2. FD02 modem, included kernel, wifi, gps, bt are always on for me, notification lights are on as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Omfg kill me please. I'm dead at five hours. Same setup... Also tried completely wiping. Let's trade phones?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garfnodie:
I feel for you man.

I never turn anything off when I'm out and about, wifi, bt, gps, all always on. I used navi the other day, only needed it for twenty minutes to get where I was going,

not

plugged into a charger, screen on for the whole twenty minutes, voice prompts over bt, wifi on, but obviously not connected to an access point, and I only lost 7% battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
My battery life is pretty good with only 3g and wifi on. I don't have 4g service and only turn on GPS when I use it. But I do carry an extra battery just in case.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dudebowski:
Battery issues? Alpha 2? I'm closing in on a first round test period of 24 hours right now, and expect it will get a little better than that after a few days.

Make sure you wipe battery stats every on kernel update when the battery is at 100% (NO LESS!) and then burn the battery out until the phone won't boot up. Recharge or swap with a fully charged batt, and then come back and tell us it's not an improvement. I wasn't getting much better than 24 hours with the GB TouchWiz ROMs...

Also, follow all the battery-related customization directions on the official CM9 for E4GT blog.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Incorrect, wiping battery stats does not improve battery life. This has been stated several times by google engineers and others.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
I've done everything there is to do, aside from wiping battery because it does nothing. As have others. Really can't narrow this down at all... I will stop speaking of this here. Patiently awaiting the update :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazyflipj:
Maybe bad battery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Nope, that's been tested on other roms now.. It defies logic
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Somairotevoli:
Trying to narrow battery issue myself. Here are my wake locks. Curious to see how it looks for those of you with and without issues. Also, are you using auto brightness or not, 4g or not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
I can't post pics using the xda app for some reason... But I can tell you that my audioinlock under wakelocks has occurred for six hours and thirty six minutes..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dudebowski:
:eek: Thanks for that. Well, at least conditioning the battery has some engineering merit. I guess it's back to being patient for the ICS kernel release.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Somairotevoli:
did you have any music listening or audio going on today?

I use Google play music myself today and the time correlates to the audio wake time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Also, my wifi does not sleep at all even though it is set too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Not once, aside from phone call audio.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Somairotevoli:
do you have it set to wake when plugged in?

How long were the phone call totals?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Yes
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qfnol31:
That sounds like your culprit. Have you searched through the better battery stats thread to see if there is any information? You can post in there and see if anyone has ideas. Sorry I can't search it right now from my phone.

Phone call total on the 2nd charge of the day was 5 minutes. I had a lot more earlier in the day, maybe thirty minutes to an hour tops.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Somairotevoli:
Somethings keeping that audio awake. I didn't know better battery stats thread existed, we may get better help there. One thing I narrowed down for myself was having auto brightness on. Since I turned it off battery has more than doubled, also phone doesn't heat up anymore.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Yeah I tried the auto brightness as well. Did not fix a thing. I made a post in the BBS thread so hopefully this can help shed some light on the AudioInLock issue.

hey so since i can't install install a new rom with the hacked cwm to flash cm9 does that mean that i can flash the official cwm and make a nand of the cm9 4.0.4 rom and jump back and forth between that rom and another?

As long as you do everything from el26 cwm including restoring.

Hey guys, I'm running the RC0 and was thinking about updating. My only issue has been that I can't install 2 apps "Where's My Water" and "IControlAV2". Both say "Installation failed" after downloading. Would anyone be so kind as to mention if these install ok on this latest version? If not, I will wait, I don't really want to spend all that time getting things customized again...

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garfnodie:
RC0?

---------- Post added at 11:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 AM ----------

Went and looked at the Goo download page and noticed there were RC's, sorry, never saw that before.

Anyway, why are you still on RC, update to Alpha2, has to be hell of a lot better. But, if you don't want to update, then you'll need to go into settings, then storage, then unmount the 11gb storage card, then go and download and install your problem apps, then you can go back to to storage settings and remount the internad storage. This problem has been fixed in alpha 2 though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drumstyk1:
Well yeah, i think so... In my about phone section it says I am on 9.0.0-RC0-epic4gtough-KANG. Am I missing something? :o

Edit: Nice! thanks garfnodie! Will update now!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] snakedoc34:
This is how you get rid of the phantom voicemail bug, 100 percent guaranteed...

This file is based on alpha2's phone.apk.

http://db.tt/1rcin9q2

Installation instructions

1: download the file above

2: use es file explorer, under the settings menu make sure there's a check next to UP TO ROOT, ROOT EXPLORER, and MOUNT FILE SYSTEM

3: navigate to /system/app and rename the existing phone.apk by replacing the .apk with .bak

4: move the phone.apk you downloaded into the /system/app folder... long press on it so that you can change its permission to rw-r--r--

5: go to the cache/dalvik-cache folder and delete the SYSTEM@APP@PHONE.APK@CLASSES.DEX file

6: reboot

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gh0zt718:
I think you have to flash it via Odin
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rde34:
There is no definitive answer. It's happened to me before after doing any number of things in recovery, after re-booting after using titanium after flashing anything, etc. I think it's usually some kind of battery stats error between what is being displayed and where the battery actually is. The times it's happened to me, I've recharged and things have been fine. Good luck.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordFan21:
The easiest way is to extract modem.bin from the zip and flash that through phone on odin.

Or you could flash the el26 kernel, then flash the modem zip and reflash cm9
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] larryv1979:
if the fd02 modem in a zip file you can flash through recovery and since cm9 currently does not have custom recovery you have to unzip the zip file and extract the modem.bin and run it in odin in the phone slot

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] euphoria:
Hey,

So I did a quick search and didn't find anything. I noticed that I wasn't getting my notifications on vibrate, so I figured the vibrate is just really subtle and I didn't notice it. However once I sent myself a test message using Google Voice I realized that it does not vibrate, even though I have it set to Silent and Vibrate both in the Sound section of the Settings, and on the status bar.

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? If so are there any fixes for this? I didn't read about this any where so is it a bug, or is it that I am doing something wrong.

I am running CyanogenMod 9 alpha 2 (I love saying that :D) and have the Rogue Kernel/Recovery installed.

Look forward to any responses, and thanks in advance.

Odin. Cm9 doesn't come with a usable recovery for flashing.

Mobile Odin will work just as well. If you only have the zip of a modem, you can always mobile odin (or regular odin) el26cwm, flash the zip, then flash the proper kernel.

This Rom is very smooth first of all. Little question about GPS, I flashed everything as directed but forgot to do the GB lock prior to getting in to CWR to flash CM9 (as suggested as a fix on qbkings video). After reboot Rom runs great except GPS, icon doesn't even blink. So I go back to EL26 on GB get a lock (almost instantly) and from there back in CWR to flash CM9. Still no GPS.... No blink.

Is there something I am missing here? I wiped as directed as well. TIA.

OK I just keep on seeing that it needs to be CWM based recovery el29. And the el29 one doesn't allow internal storage mounting from the recovery.

So anyone know an el29 Cwm based recovery that allows internal storage mounting and plays nice with cm9 and aokp?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
It's not el29 they are using el26 ....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] es0tericcha0s:
Have to use the EL26 CWM5 for CM9. It only does the external USB mount and it's basically only for CM9. Either need to have an external SD card to move files to, or just make sure the files are already loaded on internal before flashing and booting into the recovery.

http://www.mediafire.com/?u0hs65d1utb3fe4 - the CWM you need.

Warning: Only use this recovery to flash CM9. Otherwise, you risk bricking a phone.*
