Just Odin a CWM kernel, flash the modem, wipe cache and Dalvik, flash a CM9 kernel and then you should be good.

Good luck!

SO i think i have to get a new phone because i am getting the phantom captive button push on the home button (not the menu). Here is my question, can i odin the stockcwm-el26 kernel, make a full backup, go back to stock gb, then oden back to stockcwm-el26, restore full backup, and flash latest kernel for sm9 and be back on cm9? I ask this because i will have to bring my phone to a store to get a replacement and i want to be able to go back to cm9 with all my data till my new phone comes in, then i can flash cm9 and start from scratch on the new phone.

Edit * this procedure worked for me. Now to wait for a replacement phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] langdoy:
Not sure if you guys made any tweaks at all, but my battery is horrible. I just flashed to CM9 A5 and set up some accounts. On very light use, I'm going on 6 hours 34 minutes with 9% left. I'd love to know if you did some tweaks to save more battery to get to 20 hours.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bruce Inman:
1. Let the ROM settle, battery will improve.

2. Try this tweak for improved battery and performance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_hubbard:
Get better battery stats or badass battery monitor to see what's using up all your juice. Best bet is you've got some app/process running in the background.

Post some screenies of what those apps say is running and you'll likely get some help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ericlikeseatin:
I've had success extending my battery life by turning off data whenever I'm not using it. About half of my phone use is texting and phone calls so it ended up making a big difference for me on this ROM, which for whatever reason seems to use up a lot of battery on data related stuff (wifi, 3g, 4g).

Currently, I can get about 24-30 hours with 2-3 hours of screen-on time using this method.

EDIT: I'm running CM9 alpha 5, FF02 kernel, EL29 modem, no other tweaks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] langdoy:
Thanks. I'll get that app and post results. I'll try what Bruce suggested as well. From the battery info on the OS, it said my Screen was using 34% and the Android OS was using 30%. So I ended up tweaking the display way down so it's fairly dim, but it was an Auto before. Now it's 34% OS and 26% Screen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3gh05t:
So just flash this .zip file?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bruce Inman:
Sort of...

You have to flash a flashable kernel to flash the zip which would require an additional flash of a kernel.

Flash EL29 Quickboot, boot to recovery, flash CM9 kernel, then flash KO's tweak, reboot.

The zip contains other zips (modes) so unzip the download to your storage card.

I suggest Moderate (M) for better battery w/o degrading the performance.

Check in "About Phone/CM Version" and you should see .KOB.3.4M extension to know it flashed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_hubbard:
From your 2nd screen shot, there were a couple of times where the phone was awake and the screen not on, but not as much as I would have expected. Also note that 1 of those times was GPS on constantly for a bit, which is a big drain.

Would still like to see screen shots of what better battery stats shows is running, as its possible/likely that other apps are running while your screen is on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qfnol31:
Has anyone noticed that turning on auto-brightness can cause the phone not to shut off? I had that problem this morning after I turned off auto-brightness. Using CPU Monitor, I saw that after my screen shut off my phone spent a while running at 800MHz.

How often is your phone connected to wifi? There's a bug affecting some phones where pppd and wifi conflict with eachother causing hella battery drain. With wifi turned off, I can easily get 30+ hours. But with wifi on, **** drops down to 10 hours.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] langdoy:
It's on at home for speed, but it's been off most of the day while I'm in the office. I'd say 1.5 hours of the time was on wifi, the rest on 3G. I downloaded badass battery, I'll do a whole new run starting on a fresh charge and see how long it lasts and post results. I'm on CM9 A5 with EL26, so pretty much just flashed the rom. I'll do my normal usage which is just checking facebook a couple of times, sending a txt message, and chatting up in Whatapp, but not extended use. But seems like the screen being on is just the huge killer. I don't think I can go any lower cuz my screen is also really dim.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garfnodie:
If you want the bars back, just back to the same menu where you changed it to dbm and uncheck it. As for tethering, CM9 has that built in, but some people are having issues with it. Go to settings, then below wifi and bluetooth is a settings option, go in there and you'll see tethering.

I would try the multiboot ROM get it to boot, update your PRL, Profile and GPS, just in case. Then flash CM9 etc.

If you use Mobile Odin, you just need to copy the files to your storage. No worrying about disconnecting from your PC.

Always give the ROM a few minutes to settle, even the stock one.

Also, make sure you're allowing enough time for the initial boot as it can take several minutes in some cases.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gatesmarch123:
Ummm if you put cwm5 on before you turned it on then you have a problem. You have to root it first.

No you can flash alpha 5 over alpha 4 without wiping anything. It says that in the install directions. Use mobile Odin (if you don't have it already you should) and flash the el26 cwm. It won't boot with this gb kernel. So as soon as you see the galaxy s2 screen hold power and vol-up to boot into recovery. Now just flash alpha 5 no wiping required.

The only thing that can ever be different is how much of an over charge you can get at 100%. And the +/- whatever % of the capacitors and resistors the manufacturer used.

Uuuhhhg this is a phone, not a motor with new rings that need to be broken in. All tweaks minus the first reboot should take effect immediately whether or not your battery has enough amp hours left on it for anyone to tell is irrelevant.

The only reason this crap continues to show up was once upon a time people said it to prevent massive amounts of complete idiots from trashing a thread with their stupidity.

Exactly my point.

Battery life can never be 100% accurate charge to charge, since the only measurement is voltage.

If people want to lower inaccuracies following your advice will get then very close. Rebooting while plugged in only once at the first charge is about add good as it gets since battery usage cannot be tracked offline or during startup.

I'm already down 2% since unplugging but all I've got to charge with is a 500mA USB port atm. Practically zero over charge.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_hubbard:
I'll give you this to a certain degree. However, the longer your phone runs the longer the operating system has to run more apps, page more apps in and out of memory etc. The longer the sample size, the more your phone settles into the apps you run most often. I AM basing this on the assumption that the phone isn't rebooted during this time. This may NOT have as great an effect as I attributed to it earlier, but it certainly will change the way your phone draws from the battery day over day. It's likely a combination of your theory and mine that makes it seem that the kernel/tweaks settle in.

However, i do NOT see this issue when i use go sms pro. only with the stock message app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
I find it hard to believe a "phone" "settles in", strictly based on the caching that the OS does on upgrade / cache clearing. It doesn't defrag. It doesn't cache certain apps over others. It doesn't do a lot considering it's called a "smart phone".

Unless someone actually writes their scripts to fire at later times. What it is is what it is, and drains could be as random as being between 35 towers to bad atmospheric conditions for gps even interference.

I get the most battery at home on wireless with data disabled. Lose at most 5% while sleeping 10 hour periods.

Battery drains like a ***** when brightness isn't 0, seems like a kernel issue.

People should stop looking at the phones as different but where they are and what they do with it.
