Use the GPS fix stated in this thread about 20 pages ago or so.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
My gps has always gotten a lock within 5 seconds. As long as I'm not in a concrete bunker.

I've noticed as time has progressed it eventually just started being awesome. Even my wife sitting next to me on her stock e4gt doesn't get a lock while mine locks in seconds.

I would say just keep using it over and over and over.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] YellaHayes:
I been getting the same thing on every ice cream room
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] te45a:
What GPS fix are you talking about? The one where you boot to stock from emmc get GPS status app and get a lock that reflash cm9? If that's what you are talking about I tried it and it got lock within seconds in stock but when I got back to cm9 same problem, no GPS lock.

Anyone else's Gmail not syncing and notifying of new mail?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Mine works great. What build are you on? You are sure that you have syncing enabled?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paranoid android85:
if you did a fresh wipe i notice gmail isnt automatically checked. i usually have to go into settings accounts sync and see if its checked or not

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] diablo311:
Im confused about the whole thing :(

so i odin stock el26 then make a back up of it?

and flash a touchwiz rom and get a gps lock

then odin el26 again and flash cm9A6?

im new to this whole gps not working thing what is the reason it doesnt work in a first place?

when i odin to el26 it doesnt get a lock either :/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeremiah.rs:
See if you can follow this, http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/2012/05/temporary-stock-e4gt-from-emmc.html?m=1

If not, post again on here, I'm sure someone will help you. You need to get a GPS lock on gb first then install cm9. After that, everything works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] diablo311:
okay im just flashing to stock el26 and then what?

ive to get the gps status app?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riddle777:
Has anyone tested the lock test zip?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] diablo311:
i havent maybe u can link me to it?

anyways so i did the el26 stock got a lock on gps with gps status and now what?

when i exit the gps status app and go in to maps the same thign happens i cant get a lock in the maps
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] te45a:

Did you leave the GPS on or did you turn it off prior to flashing back to CM9
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Optimal Carnage:
Hey guys/gals I'm having some custom notification/ringer issues here. 1st time actually using Cyanogenmod, so I made sure to do it right. Most of my contacts regardless is the custom ringtone I assign content to ring as the default ringtone. Any ideas or is this a bug?

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] te45a:
while I was in GPS status app and had gps fix 8/8 I just pressed power button, rebooted, took me straight into recovery, flashed CM9, booted back to CM9
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmejiaa:
What I did was first make a nandroid of my cm9,I flashed el26 recovery and I flashed a calk rom, it loaded and I got a gps lock.

I went back to revovery and flashed the direct boot rom listed in the cm9 install dirextions, then I nandroid back to my cm9. Gps locks SO fast now, faster than my gb roms even with gps status. I did all this through recovery, no odin.

Hope that helps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
Same happened to me. I downloaded gps status from the play store, cleared gps data, then hung out for about 5 min and got a bunch of locks, all inside the app. Been good ever since
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riddle777:
Hope your GPS problems have been resolved.

The lock test zip is in goo app under chris41g CM. This is to test the application lock screen widgets.

I have had no issues with this build and the Widgets are the normal size.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wormsign:
I just pulled a 1948 on Quadrant. Is this rom supposed to be this slow?

All applications were closed, just normal operations running.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thac23:
I did check that initially and it was still set on Slide. It works some of the time but not often. I flashed 7/2 and it still seems to be the same issue. It's not a huge issue, just confusing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kenny987654321:
Well have you tried a complete reflash? I do believe that will fix your issue otherwise I do not have any other advice to offer. Im on 7/2 now and have not had this issue on any nightly. Every once in awhile my touch keys come on and the screen fails to; but then I just relock and unlock again.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] langdoy:
I just ran the Quandrant benchmark also and got a 2033. Significantly slower. I forget when I ran it previously, but I'm sure I got 3500+ on Alpha 5. I just don't remember if that was before or after the Kobridge tweaks. My current 2033 score is on a fresh Alpha 6 flash.

On another note, my wifes stock GB galaxyii gets around 3500 as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hooover:
Quadrant scores mean nothing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wormsign:
Yeah, I'm not entirely concerned because this rom is very smooth, and the battery seems great so far.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kpakpo89:
This is very trivial, but is there a way to turn on vibrations when I'm typing on the keyboard? I'm currently using alpha 6 with tablet UI mod...I just like the feel of the vibrate when I press a key

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmejiaa:
Look at your specifics keyboard settings under input, in settingz.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
While i would almost agree.

Scoring 1000pts lower than others with the same hardware dictates an issue.

Basically a 30% degradation of performance. Not good.

I don't think the scores by themselves mean anything except a diagnosis tool honestly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Devtodi:
Damn, wish I still had my Epic. I'll have to suffer along with my SGS3. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Darkendes:
You know what? I had this same problem just happen to me running Frankenstein's FIF02.

The lock screen wouldn't show up. I toggled it to a different lock method, and then back to Slide, and it fixed it for a few hours. Then it reverted back to not showing up.

It's been fine since I rebooted, though. I'm just about to flash CM9 alpha6. I'll post again if it happens again.

Thanks I finally got my answer in the Q&A bit forgot to edit my post.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deaver_92:
This was when I was on alpha 3 and alpha 4. I've since done a complete wipe and fresh install and haven't had issues since. I'm currently on alpha 6.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Total score is not what you should look at it. Most times ive seen 1000 points it was all in storage operations. While not good, its not what people think it is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Degradation of performance is degradation is it not?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
you have to look at how the points are totaled..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wormsign:
The fact that it is occurring for someone other than myself begs me to wonder what configuration they are running if this pulling a 3500 score. Is anyone running anything different?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bryank930:
So can I flash this from any recovery now, or do I still have to ODIN to the GB recovery?

The info site said any verified safe recovery, but didn't list anything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
I ran benches on EL29, FF18, CM9A5 all in the same day scores were within points of each other. Reruns of tests were up to 1000 points off almost always all in storage.

I didnt bother ever posting all the screenshots because I found not one source for the problem, or that any of the testing was any bit reliable.

Also might want to factor in whether or not Quadrant is testing internal or external, antutu asks you and Quadrant probably doesnt have an issue but you might want to remove the sd card just in case since the mount point for sdcard is not the same hardware from Touchwiz to AOSP. That right there would be a problem in storage score.

I can prove an increase in performance in the real world and compared to some benchmarks I can not rely on. I will take that any day and I am a benchmarking fool when it comes to my PC.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kenny987654321:
Agreed fully. I used to benchmark the PC daily. :-P I just wish people would relax on benchmarking a phone, that is what it is after all. And depending on whether or not you are running nightly or alpha, well they both are way before a beta build which in some cases doesn't even give a great score. If you feel your memory is slow on your device get a higher class SD card and increase your read ahead.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wiskid15:
Is there a fix for the Pin lock not working? If I set it to none, then reconfigure the Pin it works for a while, but inevitably quits working again. Worked on a5, im now on a6.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bryank930:
Anybody? I havent been following the progress on this rom, so i have no clue where to start.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Aganar:
Have you flashed any previous version of the rom before or is this you first time?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wormsign:
Until there is definitive proof that it is safe, I'm sticking with odin'ing back for now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wormsign:
Thank you for your info and input...

What I've noticed is memory scores (which is a factor - just as you said that I was not aware of - I also have a class 10 card) and i/o which have dropped dramatically (2500 or less).

It wasn't a concern and it still isn't considering this rom outside of the benchmark tests seems to fly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
I would say that the definitive proof is that hundreds, if not thousands of people have safely been flashing with the tweaked recovery for the last what..... Three weeks now?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FrameCityJackal:
May sound funny but log out of gtalk and try again. Its not the same problem but when i used to try to download things from the market and they wouldnt dl I would have to log out of gtalk and they would work..doubt it will work this time but its just a healthy suggestion
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spitefulrain:
Noticed there is no option for splitting texts after 160 characters anymore. Neither in the stock app or in the Inverted one updated today. Is there any work around that isn't a third party app? That's my last resort :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
This is an ics issue, not a ROM issue. Facebook doesn't use the updated api required by google for ics. Use a third party app like haxsync, well worth the buck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
The setting is now enabled by default and there is no option to disable. It's done that way to ensure no one accidentally screws themselves.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Aairman23:
Ok so I'm coming over to CM9 from Unnamed Rom and I likely. A couple questions after watching QBkings Review video:

1) If I want to install a different modem (different from el29), say either fc22 or 27, can I do that from the recovery menu, or does it have to be from odin.

2) As far as root options go...do I want apps and ADB enabled?

3) Thank you to the developers and trouble shooters who made this ROM possible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qubanaso:
Idk what current modem are you running because I was on mijj's ic's and I Odin el26 and kept my fc24 kernel and modem :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] imakul8:
Does the built-in governor work? No, I can't Odin to el26 and flash to see for myself as my pc was sabotaged by an asshole as a April Fools joke.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spitefulrain:
Speaking using the inverted app, the counter shows up but after sending the text doesn't split and fails to send. Can you confirm it actually works if you're using the stock app?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
Yep. The VM notification is telling me to call my number, but never goes away. I'm going to mod the phone.apk again...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Aairman23:
Another weird thing, I re-downloaded titanium back-up from the "my apps" section and it downloaded fine and allows me to select it from within the "manage apps" section, but will not show the icon in my app drawer or home screen. I have the option to uninstall it, but the "open" button that is usually next to the uninstall button (within the play store) is not there either. other apps have downloaded and shown up just fine.

I was on cna also.. i just flashed el26 cwm via Odin then wipe cache dalvik and i was good to go

Anther odd ball, looking at the Nandroid backup I made in CWM5, the date/time stamp is 2000-01-00.02.24. I ODIN'd the same CWM kernel I've used for all previous flashes that had correct date and time.

I was on Blu Kuban using agat63's FF18 repacked cwm kernel and flashed this rom and gapps after a backup using it. It is safe and have not heard any reports of ppl bricking at all.

But again if you're still in doubt you can always do it the old way we were doing it for aokp/aosp roms by flashing el26 stock cwm kernel and then using that recovery to flash.

Good luck!

where can you get this kobridge tweak?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] edanono:
+1 on that. I was ready to dump this rom until I flashed the moderate zip by KB. Idle battery usage is next to nothing. But active battery drain is quick.

Do yourself a favor and read what kobridge posted about battery usage. It will help you understand. We all owe a big thanks to him for it. Danono

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
It does work. You have to go in developer options, check the box in 'kill app back button'

On alpha 6 you need to hold it longer than usual.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] peperonikiller:
It was the 'holding it down twice as long as usual' that got me. *shakes fist*
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Not having programs that wake lock your phone probably helps :p

I haven't monitored my own usage on A6 much as I have been using the phone ALOT. But I believe it was A4 I was getting 31 hours with 1 hour screen on down to 15%. Its mostly standby time and 14 hours down to 59% isn't anything special.

No higher than needed brightness and viewing dark things when the phone is on helps alot. Black themed apps like replacements for MMS work some wonders as this is an OLED display. You can have the screen on displaying black for a grand total of 7 hours run time if you try.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mexhawk06:

It's awesome. I've never had my phone lock onto GPS instantly like it's been doing lately, I wonder if ICS made changes to however the app does this.

GPSstatus used to lock on fast for me so I've always wondered if there was something missing in the apps application for gps lock that GPS status was doing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
No extended battery. I think this was on my new OEM battery though. If you've had your phone for a while I suggest getting a new battery. It made a big difference for me. Anyways, Rain is right, I left it on overnight so I had probably about 7-8 hours of standby time. It did face some heavy usage before and after the standby time though. I run completely stock alpha 6, no auto brightness, and no syncs running in the background other than email only once a day. I don't mess with any inverted apps either.

I think the overnight part has a lot to do with it, I'm sure I can reach those times with that amount of it sleeping.

I've gone will over 10 hours just being home all day and having wifi on instead of 3g, with normal usage.being in a low service area(even though sprint says it's excellent) doesn't help. My phone goes from 3g to 1x many times during the day,.

Turned off notifications lights, even though i rely on them for work when I have my phone on silent, how much battery does one light really consume,?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mightypenguin:
Try disabling all synching of apps, and/or disable your data (Wifi/4G/3G). You'll still get phone calls and your phone will almost never wake up. It looks like he turned on wifi briefly to get some internet goodies. But if you need fb/email updates to ding on your phone as they come in, then you can't get that battery life (yet).
