i actually get really good battery life as well...except for rebooting lol. the moment i reboot it drops 20%-30% easy. other than that its great. i realllly wish cm had as many options as AOKP but gotta take what you can get
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Dropping by a huge percentage upon rebooting is a Samsung issue that has been present for years. It evens out and creeps back up to where it was... This happens on stock roms too. Calm down
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Which is why when I just put fe22 back on my battery is 20% higher.

I've never experienced it till this kernel and months of thousands of reboots. Thanks for your concern.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
Happened to me on all builds, regardless of kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jhgti:
For me, how i fixed that issue was turning off notification right, I created a profile for night time it does not have any notification light or low battery light
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ericlikeseatin:
Same for me. LED notification light is a known wake lock on all ICS ROMs at the moment I believe. It sort of sucks to disable a feature that none of the other Galaxy SIIs have. :(

And I just notice as I got home my wifi it's sucking my battery bad, I have it in nerve turn off

Now wifi sucks up battery, that I have learned. My notification light does not cause wake for me at least...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
yeah, you're 100% right about this. Funny thing is that I have only experienced this on TW based roms.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] silversx80:
I have this sneaking suspicion that it's related to the modem, and/or the kernel.

I've had no issues at home, where I have 2-3 bars of service indicated, and 3G. In my office, I get very spotty service, and the signal fluctuates greatly. It'll go from full service to roaming in a matter of 10 minutes.

On my commute, I have periods where I get zero service. Furthermore, I drove home from work today, and had the phone connected to my car's bluetooth. My wife called, and the phone was connected to the voice call for half the commute. The phone would wake while at home over the next few hours (it was getting to the point of not waking every 30 minutes or so).

My wife and I headed out for some pizza tonight, and had the same sort of conditions while driving. When we got to the pizza place, the phone would not wake, and was warm. I restarted the phone via holding the power button, and placed the radios into airplane mode.

The phone was in airplane mode for the hour at the pizza place, the drive home, and I brought it out of airplane mode when we got home. The phone woke right away.

My conditions are a bit more extreme than the average user because of the sporadic service.

My hypothesis is that when in low-service areas, and when the phone connects to another tower and is in sleep mode, it somehow gets stuck in a "do-loop" and won't wake. I'm going to try a previous release radio (currently on FF02), and might revert to Alpha 4 for the kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
For those with hella draining battery with wifi on, while you're sleeping:

It could be a conflict between pppd and wifi. In the E4GT ICS Chatroom on Freenode, chrisw4gt (did i spell that right?) narrowed it down to that problem. If I remember correctly, a pppd connection is trying to be established while a wifi connection is already established. Perhaps he can jump in here and say a few words and/or help fix this issue.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
I attached a phone.apk that will work at 160 or higher. kbizzle posted it about 5 pages back I think so thank him. I use it at 160 and no FC's.

All you have to do is: using a root file manager, copy the apk (longpress > copy) and then navigate back to /system/app/. Then mount system as R/W (in root explorer, its the option at the top) and press paste. It will ask you to overwrite the old one and click yes. So once the modded one is pasted, set permissions (longpress > set permissions) and set to rw-r--r-- and then reboot. Kind of gave detailed instructions. Not sure if you know how to do this or not lol. If you ever want the old, non-modded phone.apk back, just reflash the rom again.

I have tested PA and its cool.. but it was having issues with browsing the web.. I haven't tried the latest update however.. for some reason though, even though the tabUI mod was enabled, my icons and fonts were huge so it was throwing my eyes off a bit.. I have the latest downloaded so I might be testing it out again..

But anyways.. I was still wondering if cyanogenmod a5 was able to be put into tabUI..(hence why I posted in this thread sr ;) )

i have the same problem. on the blog for this rom it states : "Release Notes:

If your MMS does not work, you probably restored a bad backup with cached settings in telephony.db in data/data/com.*.*.telephony that need to be purged."

does this mean i just go in and delete the whole com.telephony folder or one of the 4 folders inside of it?

So, I was thinking about trying this out...

If I install it + the Sprint VVM app I will get texts from 9016 every time I receive a voicemail?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] silversx80:
No dice on this setup. Still got the no-wake with power button and had to restart via long-press. I reflashed from scratch and it locked up again.

I did find a solution, though. I had reason to believe it was all the dancing back and forth between data towers, so I set Juice Defender to only allow the data radios to be on while the phone is unlocked and the screen on, or AC charge.

This also has a pleasant side-effect. It's been nearly 5 hours and I'm still at 96% (only about 15 minutes screen time, since I wanted to give it many chances to lock up).

I don't want this to be a final solution, and still had a lock-up issue with JD allowing a sync window every hour, but I'm liking CM9 too much to revert back to anything else.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
I see alot of people having issues with alpha 5 and I must admit I am still on pre release with none of the problems I see you guys list in these threads. Maybe some of you should compare a5 a5pre1 to see which may work better for you if only major change is no recovery. Just a thought

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] A30N:
I've had this issue with other ROMs, and re-flashing the same ROM a second or third time always fixes the issue. I'm no expert, but I believe that slow NAND cells in the phone's memory and the way ROMs are blindly flashed are contributors to the issue. I have no idea how to fix it, but if I could I would increase the voltage during the write cycle, verifying each file after its been written, and black-listing bad NAND cells after 3 failed writes.

But If I could do all that, I could also build a rocket that could reach Mars...

Have you messed with your dpi?

This can happen if you wipe the system. The updater checks the device prop to make sure it's flashing the right device. If you've deleted this prop then the check will fail as will the flash. Flash a touchwiz rom, boot into recovery, wipe data, cache, and try again. Don't wipe system.
