Tethering and 4g are constantly utilizing your phones radios. Every phone I have every had gets warm during tethering. Your also are charging your battery at the same time.

Of course your phone is going to be hot.. :o
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
I understand it is going to be hot... But that hot? O_o

Seems abnormal and borderline burst into flames. Any other rom my heat does not generally get past 100, maybe 110 at the absolute max.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dudebowski:
Can someone please confirm that the new gapps is safe to flash over our alpha3 with the EL26 CWM recovery?

also, this: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120422-signed.zip
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Why wouldnt it be? But if you restore back to el26 cwm you will need to reinstall CM9 to go with it.

edit: i usually wait until gapps shows up here before I use it: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version/Google_Apps

but that doesnt mean the one you have linked to is bad.

---------- Post added at 05:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 AM ----------

You seem to be having personal battery issues. Did you ever try a different battery.

I have used CM9 on both the Epic and Epic touch and one thing I noticed is that ICS is a little more power hungry and tends to run the phone a bit hotter. Might be the case here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dudebowski:
crap.

SU make CWM-flashable FD16 kernel ? :D

edit:mobileODIN:kernel: EL26 CWM....CWM:install: FD19 modem, CM9/A3, gapps04222012, booted.... mobileODIN:kernel: darch's FD19 CM9 kernel. Works.

Yes, the link that darch posted last week now links to his working copy of the CM9 FD19 kernel.

I think there are some mount issues with the sd card though, some apps are unable to read their cache on the sd.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b0ricua:
Been running this since Alpha 1 as my daily driver, it's been getting better and better. One request I have lately is that I've noticed going from inside to outside with direct sunlight the light sensor seems to be rather slow adjusting. Any way to speed up that adjustment?

Mobiledata toggle does not toggle. It will turn off, but indicator does not change. Toggle back on does not work.

Are you talking about the built in notification pulldown toggle? If so it works fine for me. Havent had an issue with it once.

I am talking about the one in attached (up/down arrows). I played with it some more. Sometimes it works other times not. Tracked it down to wifi. If wifi on won't toggle. Toggle wifi, it then works and continues to work. Maybe this is the way it is supposed to work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bruce Inman:
I always keep a can of dustoff handy to cool it down in case my charging stops.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Brooklynzson:
Mine does the same thing, I just hold down the the toggle to bring up the actual menu to turn it off that way. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

The Tablet UI mod now works with CM9 alpha 3 rom in case anybody wants to try it. It can be found here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] atomb:
This would be a bad idea as it would change the temperature too quickly and could crack components inside the phone. Just unplug, pull battery, and let cool at a slow, even pace.

And THAT is why Google never open sourced Honeycomb....

What? Its native in ICS for devices like the GNex. It works well on our screens. Not for everybody though or all the time. Cool mod to try out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drnull:
I've noticed this mostly when using google maps for nav. The phone will be in the holder on my dash. This problem isn't dependent on charging. It used to happen on stock TW for me too, though - and that was back on a different phone before I bricked that one botching an ICS upgrade, so I doubt it's an issue with this ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Did anyone every find a resolution to this? I am guessing it must be a fluke or hardware specific since very few people are seeing it. I am going to go ahead and test with FD19 and see if that is any different that the results I got with FD10 and FD16 which both had the issue.

FC24 in Alpha2 is the last kernel that did not exhibit this issue for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jhgti:
Did you try it? I'm guessing it can not be flask over the stock recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
Nothing can be flashed in stock recovery.

Usual method holds:

Flash gb kernel with recovery,

Enter cwm recovery

Wipe cache and dalvik

Flash kernel (fd19, fd16, fd10)

Flash mod

Reboot
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
If you want to try the tablet ui mod, instructions how to are here.

You're right. I just tried flashing it now and it doesn't work.

What might have caused my apps to decide that the default sdcard is the /emmc card instead of the internal /sdcard? darch's RC fd19 kernel? How can I avoid this in the future?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Hmm thats weird. Was it all of your apps or only specific ones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dudebowski:
actually I just stumbled upon a pesky hidden "storage layout" menu in the storage settings (hard menu key) that selects internal or emmc. I feel like I have a vague memory of setting this before but then again I only recently added a physical sd to the system.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TeamERA:
The problem was from the FD19 kernel, if it can be fixed I may jump back on that, atm Im on FD16 kernel.

Just a tip, if anyone was going to add the soft NAV bar mod to their cm9 setup it breaks NBA Jam atm, app not compatible for the gnex, must be the reason.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ZuperBlahq:
Is anyone else having issues with their Weather and News app. For me it will work for a little bit then I'll go to refresh it and it can't find my location. It won't even let me manually set the location.

Just forked the epic touch repository. Wanna start looking into some changes and try and set up a build environment in the next week or so. No promises but keep an eye out guys.

Ya I know that. It changes when the screen goes to sleep. It stays its in that mode just the color does not look as vibrant. So I go into the modes and change it to a different mode and then put it back into dynamic and the color starts to pop again till I turn my screen off.

What were you expecting comparing an alpha build rom to a gb rom that actually has source code out to make those builds more stable? And then posting nonsense in this thread mama mia.

This is alpha.shut up about battery life. Since were on the subject though I saw a definite improvement compared to alpha build 2 so I'm anxiously waiting for ics source to be released

Ill edit later with a few screenshots from battery life from today. I get on average 2-3 hours of display time but I know some have extended that probably cuz their usage is different. If that's not enough then I advise to stay on gb til there is a release candidate of cm9 out for the epic
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rlmiller:
Isn't the SCREEN the same as DISPLAY??? I checked and I only have SCREEN not DISPLAY

Does anyone know how to turn off the select input notification when using a different keyboard? Kind of annoying.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
What he's saying is tap the "Screen" percentage and take a screen shot of the next page which shows use details, "Time on".

Reason being that it's hard to get 24 hours of battery without sacrificing screen time on.

I know this has been mentioned before and there probably isn't any real fix for it but I will throw it out there because this has been the biggest annoyance with this otherwise great rom:

IDK if I should call it LOS, but it certainly seems that way. Sometimes the data just conks out usually when in a low signal area. As per someone's recommendation on this thread I tried a market app called NETWORK REFRESH (or something to that effect) which usually works. This could be a real issue though for users that rely on getting emails immediately. If you are stuck in this no data mode and don't realize it you could potentially miss a lot of important emails and things like that.

I'm having the same issue.. Always had an Sd.

http://db.tt/1rcin9q2

1: download the file above

2: use es file explorer, under the settings menu make sure there's a check next to UP TO ROOT, ROOT EXPLORER, and MOUNT FILE SYSTEM

3: navigate to /system/app and rename the existing phone.apk by replacing the .apk with .bak

4: move the phone.apk you downloaded into the /system/app folder... long press on it, select PROPERTIES and change its permission to rw-r--r--

5: go to the cache/dalvik-cache folder and delete the SYSTEM@APP@PHONE.APK@CLASSES.DEX file

6: reboot

Apps installed but display as not compatible

Weird bug that I can't seem to get rid of...even GApps such as GMail show up as incompatible in the Play Store, even though I have them installed and working perfectly on Alpha3.

Typical installation methods were used. EL26 kernel via MobileOdin > Recovery > Full Wipe + Dalvik/Cache wipes > flash Alpha3 ROM + GApps, followed by a reboot.

Already tried clearing the Play Store cache in Apps, along with a Clear Date and Force Stop followed by a reboot.

Any ideas?
