What mattykinsx said. :p

Basically, if you flash custom software, there is a counter in download mode that increases with each flash. The only real reason you'd need to reset it is if you had to take it in to Sprint for repair, and you don't even really need to do that anymore, since they have a policy stating that they will work on rooted phones.

Keyboard and Camera sounds stopped

I'm currently on alpha 3. Rom is working great. I underclocked the processor to 1000mhz and my battery has been the best its ever been. Pulled my phone off the charger at noon, and its almost 9:30pm right now and I still have 46%, with moderate-heavy usage. I've had very minor issues. One thing I've noticed is, for some reason, my keyboard and camera sounds have stopped working. The weird thing is, that even though it has stopped working, the sounds still work when I plug my headphones in. I just don't know why they're not coming out of the speaker from the phone (when my ringtone and notification sounds still do). Yes, I'm one of the people who enjoy the keyboard sounds(helps me type fast) lol, I could care less about camera sounds though. I also put all sounds to max(from new expanded sound menu). So I don't know what's the problem... Also, one other teeny issue, is for some reason, at random times, the volume when I'm listening to music will just go all the way down. I'm the type of person who goes everywhere with my headphones on playing music from the phone almost all day, so this is been somewhat of an annoyance. The only solution I've found is just unplugging my headphones and plugging them back in a couple minutes later. Not sure what causes it because I pulled the found out my pocket, put the volume all the way up, and it just automatically goes back down, all on its own. It might be because of a faulty app(headset droid), or headphones, but unfortunately I lost my other pair of headphones to test it out. Great ROM tho. Just about everything works perfect.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] newtype06:
I accidently bricked my phone when flashing before, my own fault for not going back to CWM5. Figured I'd say it as a warning to others. Whatever you do DO NOT flash anything even CM9 over CM9 with the ICS recovery, I promise you WILL brick your phone.

Again, it was my own fault for not following instructions properly. That being said I've rooted and installed custom roms on many phones before ( at least 6 separate models including my friends). It costed me the $100 dollar deductible to have it replaced. As soon as I got my new phone I went ahead and did everything RIGHT, and flashed alpha 3.

What I'm actually posting about is that after I installed it, it automatically downloaded ALL of the apps I had installed on the previous phone, which is amazing!

Great job on this release, as long as you follow instructions properly there are no issues.

Thanks all!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CruzECO13:
I believe you can see the counter while in download mode. Everytime you use odin to flash anything it adds to your count. Not sure if the device has a limit though or how negative this is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garfnodie:
Just to clarify further, the count only increases when you flash custom software, but does not increase when you flash modems. You can flash modems all day and the count will never increase. You can however use Mobile Odin to flash custom recoveries and it will not increase your count, but you still have to use Odin on the PC to flash modems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jbuggydroid:
I've noticed that when I turn off the capacitive buttons light in advanced under settings that they don't stay off. Known bug and I missed that? Or is that something new? They come back on after I turn the screen back on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robertm2011:
Yes, no noticeable problems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Can anyone confirm that when enabling wifi hotspot you lose 4G and go back to 3g?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Once we have a kernel with cwm we wont have to worry about the the flash counter anymore. Just flash to the kernel with cwm, use triangle away once, and then you should be set for the life of you phone if you don't switch to any other roms that require odin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Aganar:

Your battery life any better now with Alpha3?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Nah dude I got three hours today because I actually had to use my phone. Fml. Saw someone post awhile back about swollen battery... maybe that's my issue? Although with stock I get great life... cm9 just makes my phone hot as f@#%...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Router configuration and wireless signal seem to affect battery life on cm9 more than stock, if you life in a low signal area you will notice the radio continually restarting.

Yep its a real nice feature. I have it in my in my notification pulldown bar for easy enabling/disabling.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
Its crazy to see how fast this thread turned into a general support instead of development. Its a shame that this relevant post, with a supporting logcat, will be buried by "how's battery life?", "why is aos so high?", "how do I use odin to install this rom?" posts.

I've seen nothing recently posted here that couldn't be asked in the general thread, in Q/A section, or google searched since its been answered 1000 times already. I guess the value of self-discovery and self-reliance doesn't mean anything these days. :confused:

------

I've noticed a problem since experimental build 3/11 (my first install) upto alpha3 such that once the 3g data connection is lost for a period of time, the radio won't refresh automatically. I'm unable to get a data connection until either a) turn on/off airplane mode, or b) run fresh networks app. Either of these methods will reestablish data and it will be good until the next time I'm out of an available data network. I also tested this with 4g radio being on; results are the same. I haven't ran any ICS TW leaks, so I don't know if this is isolated to cm9 or universal to the current ics.

Here is a logcat (its long) of the time between have a data connection, losing data, and verifying it by unable to reconnect to tapa. I've scanned it, but I don't see anything that stands out. Perhaps a log won't show it, or maybe someone else knows what to look for.

I can recreate this very easily when I'm at work, so send me a pm if anyone wants additional testing to be done. Just offering to help troubleshoot if necessary.

Thanks.

I know it's not RC, but it's so stable. 100% daily driver worthy. Looking forward to theme support in the upcoming updates. :p

Only bug I've found so far is incorrect display of signal bars. Everything else is just so perfect.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
I have had this same issue. My office doesn't have the greatest service. When i leave my office, i have notices a couple of times now that i have 3G service, but the signals are grey, not blue and i don't have internet service.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vandam500:
No 3G issues at all to report here. I suggest start from scratch and see if that solves it (Complete wipe, reflash).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
I upgraded first, and then i started from scratch. It has to do with low signal that the refreshing as the other user explained.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kiekan:
I am experiencing the exact same thing. Sometimes the 3G icon still shows, but the signal bars are greyed out and I cannot get any data till I toggle airplane mode. Just like you guys, this seems to happen most when I'm at work, where I get very poor signal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] richard.tufty:
I have the same problem, but toggling airplane mode doesn't fix it :( . My house has very low signal levels but on GB roms (been using Calks 2.x.x for ages on EL29) I get 1-3 bars in most rooms, on CM9 I get 0-2, with 0 being more frequent! I kept the EL29 modem and also tried the newer FDxx versions, all the same. The main problem in use for me is not a lack of data since I have wifi at home, but that it then drains the battery trying to get a signal I think. I lost 34% with it sat on my nightstand overnight, browsing (on wifi, obviously) uses about 10% every 5 minutes. Better Battery Stats showed something like "No Data Connection" for 7h53m, which was the same as "Wifi On" and "Phone On" (I think it's called Phone On, but it was the time the phone had been switched on anyway.)

I put Calks v2 on last night and it's inbetween the signal level of the older GB Rom and CM9, so I'll stick there until this is resolved for me, which is a shame cos I use CM9 on my Tab and love it!

Sorry if this has been discussed but this is a long thread and i couldn't find exactly what i need.

I want to install this but i am currently running calk's tweaked ics rom with the ics 4 ics theme. According to qbking's how to video i have to go back to gingerbread. How do i do that, can i just flash the gb rom through rogue recovery while on my ics rom? If so, i believe i can follow qbking's video from there. Just need some help.

Thank you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Still looking for someone to confirm my issue (yes I've wiped and reflashed). If you are connected to 4G and you start the native wifi tether, 4G will disconnect. It will then keep failing to reconnect until you turn off the wifi hot spot, turn 4G off, and turn it back on again.

Essentially, zero 4G when you enable wireless tether. I don't think this would have anything to do with the wifi ssid or password, but those are the only things I've changed both times.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
Odin back to el29.

It would be easier to mobile Odin the el26 kernel and follow the video from there.

I had the same issue this morning started messin around and found out that on the profiles for some reason it had gone to the night profile, going back to default the phone started acting normal and all my notification sounds vibrations when normal I don't know this will help you, give it a go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
The built in tether app doesn't support 4g transmission. I'm assuming the 4g radio is disabled when tether is enabled, and fails to properly refresh 4g again once done with tethering.

This sounds related to what's happening to the 3g connection once it's lost in a low signal area.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Yes, el26 is ClockworkMod v5.0.2.7 el26. Once you flash, you lose recovery so you have to install cwm el26 before you flash each time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] techwerkz:
Anyone know of a way to get notifications for specific folders in the Email app? I have some folders setup in Exchange that the rules move them before they hit the Inbox. I know in CM6 or CM7 this was possible. Looks like you can change the Sync options for each folder, adding a notification would be awesome as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
You don't actually flash the rom in Odin, just the recovery. You then use the recovery to flash the rom.

Hey guys many of these questions can be found by searching and if you can't find answer to your question please post in the general thread.

So...I did a restore from a nandroid backup, and after the Samsung splash screen, all I get is a black screen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lady vixen:
Yea thats what I meant....anytime you want to flash a rom you go thru odin in order to get into cwm!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Because if you're doing a restore then you're restoring the kernel you used to backup with. Ice Cream Sandwich cannot boot with a Gingerbread kernel.

Yes, visually it looks like 3g is connected until you try to use it. I've tried all modems and kernels; its happened to every one of the combos I tried.

Battery life/Rom functionality

I know it is a known fact that flashing over previous versions of cyanogen mod has little to no consequences. However I myself think that a fresh install will give you better results. I've done it and have none of those battery issues that people continue to have. A friend of mine had that same issue; battery would drain real fast. I did a fresh install on his phone and battery has been good. Maybe im wrong but just thought I'd share. :D

Sleep of Death with Alpha 3

I seem to be having the sleep of Death issue, but only after upgrading to Alpha3, or FD10 Kernel on Alpha2. This would lead me to believe its related to the FD10 and later kernels. I've gone through the thread and not seen anyone else with similar issues, so I am leaning towards clearing data and re-installing apps.

Does anyone have a better suggestion?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stargaterules:
To get the restore to work correctly from EL26, you need to reflash CM9 right after you restore so you have the correct ICS kernel.

Not if you are restoring CM9.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daryelv:
Actually, you can do either. Flashing the ROM or an ICS kernel (modified for CM9) after restoring a CM9 Nandroid will pretty much result in the same thing unless you have modified something in the /system folder that flashing the ROM would overwrite. Both will restore the kernel back to ICS.

Follow the power saving tips, then follow the steps to diagnose your problem. There's just to many things that affects battery life. Apps that are installed on the phone, sync frequency, and the signal strength in your area. Posting and complaining about battery life will most likely get flamed or get the usual troll reply. Take the initial steps yourself to understand what is causing the drain, wake lock, etc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayjay7411:
I have to say it has to be 4G I topped out yesterday with 16hrs of battery life on and off 3G n wifi . When enabling a 1200mhz radio band WiMax (think that's right band) it just chews up battery. In the world of cell phone sales (work for the shack) I always tell each n every sprint customer to only enable 4G when you feel the need to have a data boost or your tethering aside from that you have to depend on 3G cause WiMax sucks on battery life.

Edit Googled it its even worse its 2.5GHZ in comparison to LTE being only 700 mhz
