much worse than the stock rom that comes on the phone. phone almost died within my work day today and I hardly used it. On GB I would be at half if not more by the time I got home. I like ICS overall more than stock but the life right now is worse then my Evo's was on ICS.

I don't have an extended battery, lol. It's just disconcerting to see battery dropping a few % an hour with my phone sitting idle and 20% with roughly 40 minutes of on screen time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
I just flashed the ROM... battery life will get better. I've never gotten 3 hours screen time on GB without underclocking and undervolting. Everyone has their own experiences... quit trolling ICS threads.

I haven't gotten the chance to use this phone stock.. came straight to cm9 .. So EL26 cwn backup.. And I'm good correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
If you came straight to CM9 then shouldn't you already know how this works? But to answer your question: Yeah, all flashing for this rom has to be done through EL26 CWM.

Anywho

Im having the same battery issues.

Day one was pretty killer

but day 2 on 3800mah battery Im at 30%

6hrs

screen time 1hr 7min

which means on my stock I would have been dead already
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Do you leave gps and wimax on all day. Those are known to eat battery pretty fast on this rom.

One day people will get a clue.

I flashed FD16 today just for ****z and grinz and the battery is sucking worse for me than with CM9. Typically I average drain 3-5% per hour, but I'm averaging 8-9% on stock FD16. I live in a Sprint deadzone so my phone is CONSTANTLY searching for a better signal, so 3-5% is pretty good for me. People just need to realize how much signal strength can impact battery and either quit complaining or move closer to a tower.

Help fix the problem and help return this thread back to developing; post a logcat of the issue you are seeing.

Download alogcat from the play store. Start a recording. Go through the same steps to lock up the video recorder. Stop the logcat recording. Go to pastebin.com and copy/paste this logcat recording. Submit it. Copy that link from the address bar and post it here. Congrats, you've just help make cm9 a better rom on the e4gt. :)

I am having terrible sleep of death issues with this rom (Alpha 3). If it's not plugged in and sits asleep for more than a few minutes it dies and I have to turn it back on. It's very frustrating. Otherwise I'm very happy, just wish I didn't have to turn the phone back on every few minutes.

Any ideas on a fix? Should I reflash or something the rom? Anything?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Still a problem

So I did a full wipe and re-installed my backups through Titanium and I am still running into this issue. In fact I was just on a phone call for about 15 minutes, and when I was done the screen never lit back up, and appeared to be sleeping. The phone also does not respond to ADB in this state. Anyone else running into this? I really hate to stay at Alpha2, but I had no issues with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
USB mounting works fine for me. I see internal and external storage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mookiejr05:
Under developer options do you have adb selected for root access
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikelav456:
I too am having sleep of death issues. The phone won't die while charging or while in use, but if the screen is off for a minute or two it never turns back on.

I'm on alpha 3 but I'm new to cm9 so can't comment on older versions. Please someone tell me how to at least attempt to fix this. Otherwise I absolutely love this rom.

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Maybe I was not clear. ADB normally works, just not after it's gone to sleep and won't wake up. This means I can't easily get a logcat off the phone.

What I've done is started up logcat redirecting to the SD Card as a background process and hopefully I can catch something with that.

---------- Post added at 11:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 AM ----------

The phone won't fully go to sleep while its charging, which is why it won't happen when its plugged in.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] creepdogg:
Hmmmm, maybe a full wipe is in my future, I have never had usb drive access in any version.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Aaron Camp:
Please help here.

I am currently running Calk v1.4. Based on what I am reading the best way to try out CM alpha3 is the following....

use the recovery that is part of Calk v1.4 (rouge v5.0.2.8) to roll back to a previous backup I have.

I have clockwork backups of the following gingerbread versions:

base stock made in Dec 2011 (would have been current as of then)

Calkin 2.81 made on Feb 20 2012

(which one would be best?)

After getting back to gingerbread, I then need to use ODIN to load the stock CWM linked on the install guide

After that its just a matter of following the rest of the install guide correct?

My last question is once I have this up and running, can I then make a CWM backup and then jump back and forth between this and Calks rom using CWM restore?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikelav456:
I was in the same boat as you. What I did:

Mobile odin the el26 cwm kernal. Never went back to a gb rom. After el26 was flashed, powered down and powered back up into recovery (now cwm) wiped data factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, used call's format all, then flashed rom and gapps. That's it. Enjoy.

Disclaimer, I have sleep of death issues, not sure if it is related to steps above. Otherwise this is the best rom I have ever used.

Sleep of Death people:

Are you using SetCPU?

Even with alpha 3, I have problems with it. As soon as I installed it, I had no more problems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazyflipj:
Try menu > settings > storage > menu > USB Computer Connection > Mass Storage checked
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazyflipj:
Are you using Set CPU or any app that controls voltages or CPU frequencies? If so, try running rom without it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
I previously had it installed, but not configured to set anything on boot. I read the suggestions not to use it, so I went ahead and completely uninstalled it a few days ago. I also have no CPU settings enabled in the Cyanogenmod Performance menu.

I did a full Wipe after uninstalling it, so I don't think that's it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Aaron Camp:
That is the one I referenced. Looks like I might not have to go back to a gingerbread rom, just odin the cwm. (from post above yours)

Anyone have thoughts on jumping back and forth afterward using cwm backups of both Calk 1.4 and CM9A3?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikelav456:
Nope, not using anything like that nor had I ever on this rom. Don't even have an app like that installed.

Anyone have any other ideas? Should I reformat and flash again?

How do you convert back?

What were your steps In flashing this rom? What rom were you coming from?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
I ODIN'd to EL26 CWM, flashed Alpha3, and then did a WIPE. Afterwords re-installed the majority of my apps with Titanium Backup, being sure to not restore any system apps or settings.

I also had the same problem on Alpha2 if I flashed the FD10 kernel. I did not have the sleep of death issue with the stock kernel in Alpha2.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikelav456:
Came from calks tweaked tw ics rom. Flashed el26, then followed instructions posted by op (wipe data, cache, dalvik, used calk's wipe all, flashed rom then gapps).

I never went back to a gb rom. Was that a mistake?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robertm2011:
First, use sfhub's special EL29 package (http://little-melon.com/sfhub/SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097_ROOTED-oc-sfx.exe), then Odin EL26 kernel w/stock CWM (http://chris41g.devphone.org/index.php?dir=EpicTouch/Stock+Repack/EL26/); wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and flash rom and apps. Easy!

As for jumping back and forth between the two roms, I personally would take the safe way described above.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikelav456:
Sorry, I mobile odined to el26, not flashed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazyflipj:
I'm running out of ideas lol. Last resort would be to Odin back to a gb rom and start all over. ( Follow post above mine)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikelav456:
Thanks anyway. I might try that though it's annoying because I just finished reinstalling apps and customizing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] creepdogg:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikelav456:
How should I get to a gb rom from here? Should I Odin el26 again then just flash a gb rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazyflipj:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikelav456:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Please read before posting. You can not flash files in recovery on this rom. Do not flash a recovery as YOU will brick your phone. Flash modem tar files through Odin.

I thought that was just a ROM, my bad.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
If we can't install from the market or the sd card, what do I have to do? Completely reflash the ROM and gapps? Because if I Odin EL29 CWM, that changes my kernel. So a completely new flash would fix this correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AKfortyseven:
Thank you sir
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazyflipj:
I have no issues with market. Try wiping markets cache and data and see if that fixes it. Wait are you trying to install apps on external SD card? If so, go menu > settings > storage > menu > storage configuration. I've never tried that setting but may help

Sent from my GSII.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
This is definitely a kernel related issue. Happens on a stock Alpha3 with no apps, and stock Alpha 2 with FD10 kernel, but not Alpha2. Wondering if Samsung tweaked voltages or speak in newer kernels.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] todivefor:
I have noticed this also. Battery life is not great, but best of the ICS roms I have tried. I can live with it considering the increased functionality I have gained (just charge more often).

This morning I charged battery to full unplugged and did nothing for an hour. Checked better battery stats, and got the attached. Battery had discharged about 6%. Any ideas about kworker, are these stats high?

Just for claritys sake, using Odin, what field should we be using when flashing CWM5?

Bootloader / PDA / Phone / CSC

All options allow you to load .tar and .md5 extensions and just the filename 'StockCWM-EL26.tar.md5' doesn't clear anything up.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TeamERA:
Here are some screen shots, tests were done with nothing sycning and screen off for 10 minutes, I even checked to see of any were on " sync on wifi only" . Now when wifi is on, it seems to sleep less and use more cpu until the " turn wifi off when screen off" kicks in. So if you are using your phone off and on before wifi turns off, you will kill your battery much faster.

Edit, these pics are from FC24 ICS leak, Im am on CM9a3 FD16 kernel FD19 modem atm and same applies for this setup.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Specialksg1:
I've had no problems with GPS ... having said that, never use a new rom if you need full functionality from your phone! Not all phones react the same to new software. Sounds crazy, but it's true.

It absolutely doesn't work at all for me either. Tried just about all modems too. Worked fine with Gingerbread. Maybe a Kernel issue?

I've been told to Android back to CM7, get a lock and then Android to CM9 and it'll work. I have not tested, as I'm not that bothered by GPS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Considering the documentation says CM9 will not handle CM7 data that sounds kind of suicidal. Slightly modified version of that statement is what we used for the stock ICS leaks. But wouldn't recommend it for CM9.
