This might be a dumb question, but when downloading shabby's night lies, should we download the one that ends with md5 or zip?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MochaCharok:
.zip
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jefbal99:
I do both and have recovery check the md5

if the phone is connected via wifi (assuming 3g is disabled by sprint). go to play store on computer and download lookout mobile security so it auto-downloads on the handset, then you go to the lookouts website, pay 7.99 for the pro capabilities, and track the phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
interesting. so do you flash the zip, then the md5, then gapps?

battery life

so.....guys am i the only one getting like 3 hours battery life? i love cm9 and akop roms and the customizations. what am i doing wrong? because i know not many of you would be using this rom if you were getting the same battery life as me. i can be on fb for 10mins and my battery goes from like 75 to the 15% low battery warning
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
Dude, I've been experiencing the same exact thing lately. Might be a Facebook thing. Not sure.

My screen will flicker and just shut down.

I did a full wipe and reinstall and wiped battery stats and I'm having trouble getting my battery to run out lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KC_RUFFIAN137:
how do you wipe the bat stats?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HotelZambia:
Open Clockworkmod, navigate to "Advanced", select "Wipe Battery Stats", select "Yes - Wipe Battery Stats".
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KC_RUFFIAN137:
Huh, didn't think it was that easy, thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Wiping battery stats do absolutely nothing. This was confirmed by Google engineers months ago.

As for battery life, many of us are suffering horrible life and heat issues no matter what we do. Now that their is kernel source just wait, good things should be around the corner. Lastly, you can also follow the customization guide in the op, some people say it makes a world of difference, doesn't help me for jack s@#t.

I'm on CM9 alpha 5, and i just used this and reverted back to fix the gps. Everything works fine, but when i flashed cm9 afterwards, it seems like i lost recovery. I can't boot into recovery using the terminal nor holding volume up + home+ power. Just boots up normal. Still have root.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] te45a:
Alpha 5 does not have option to reboot into recovery BC at that time recovery was not safe so I guess it was removed as a precaution, if u flash alpha 6 or any nightlies after that you will have a recovery back in your reboot option as it was made safe.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] te5ter:
Alright, great thanks! So i flash alpha 6 through mobile odin?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
Odin EL26 cwm via a PC and please read the install guide as well as the release notes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shoulon:
Again if ur battery sucks go back to alpha5 and or the alpha5 nightlys. 6/29 would Be good

I've noticed that if I charge my phone via, Computer USB > Phone, it likes to burn up battery for no reason.

Once I'm done computer charging / adb'ing, unplug, reboot phone, issue gone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Not 100% sure I get ya but I have not much luck with charging via a computer period. Especially if gets any use. Mind you the ports are usually 500 mah max and that would be assuming the phone does go into high current mode otherwise its further limited to I believe 350? I used my last phones 700mah charger which works great and the rest are 1 amp but it doesnt help when your trying to move files or work through adb and need to charge as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zainiak:

It shows up under the kernel wake locks in BBS. I've been writing an app all day, and I've noticed that anything to do with Computer USB (regardless of the USB2 500mA driving current) the phone likes to just burn up batter in vbus_present. Not even sure what that is in the kernel I really don't feel like dicking around in it to find it.

After any charging session I would suggest rebooting the phone. I get the most battery life when I do that. I've been up to 4hrs screen and 2-3days standby which is substantial. I don't think I'm doing it wrong. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shabbypenguin:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Neo3D:
I checked my md5 and it matches. But, I still get the assert failed message?

Is it because my recovery is by Team Rogue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Follow the guide on the blog completely from start to finish. That includes installing el29 cwm from Odin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
As of right now mhl adapters don't work with cyanogenmod its not just our phone, most Samsung phones don't support it on cm. I thinks it due to it being a proprietary driver.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sol_671:
I flashed the ROM and then gapps in one session, without a problem. Oh, I also used el26 cwm, maybe thats the problem... try it and good luck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
That is the problem. Don't use rogue recovery, its just going to end up in a bricked phone. They are obviously not following the guide.

What am I doing wrong? (Cm9 not booting into into recovery).

My phone boots fine and will boot into download fine as well however, if I do the vol+/power thing it still just boots without going into recovery. Any hints as to what I might have done wrong? I'm installed CM9 via the cmw5 zip only kernel per the wiki but would like to move to a nightly without having to to through that whole process again.

Thanks.

Swype

So I have downloaded and installed Swype (full version) and then went into language & input and selected swype however when I go into any apps it still uses the android keyboard and doesn't give me any options to use swype. How do I get Swype working with alpha 6?

Ha seconds after posting this I figured it out!

For anyone else stuck on this issue, in Language & Input select the settings for Swype. Select "Select Input Method", then choose Swype instead of English (US) Android Keyboard.

Is anyone having gps issues with the nightlies recently?

I've been on cm9 for months and my gps has always worked instantly and kept a lock. In the last couple of weeks this is not the case, it can take over ten minutes to get a lock and it frequently loses me in navigation.

I have tried reverting back to the emmc gb el29 numerous times. It gets a lock there instantly (as it used to in cm9). However, this never sticks once I get back to cm. I've tried several other troubleshooting methods as well.

Anyways, do any of you suddenly have this going on or am I alone on this one?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] collinsac24:
happened to me after using kobridge tweaks through the hakcenter app. Not sure if that's what caused it though but I'm on alpha 6
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xcuter:
can anyone answer this? Love the rom but sending MMS is horrible. i've wiped format re-installed the rom and it works intermittently
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Custodian:
GPS isnt working for me period anymore. So I understand where youre comming from. Im back on GB until theres a perma fix for this..im sure im not the only leech experiencing this problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
weird, just tested my GPS and it worked just fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Yeah GPS worked fine for me yesterday while driving in Seattle. You guys must have not done the GPS fix outlined in the blog. You don't have to do it everytime you install cm9 but it will need to be done every once in a while.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ashmiller:
I know it is difficult to sift through so many messages, but the GPS issue seems to be similar to a calibration issue.

In a previous post somewhere in this thread, there was a fix (which worked for me -and- I have only had to do it once):

Odin back to EL29 -> open Google Maps -> get a lock -> and flash CM9 again (clearing data, cache, and Dalvik).

Install and open Google Maps on your fresh CM9 and see if you get a lock. It should only take a few seconds like normal.

Like I said, I had the same issue, performed this fix once, and it has worked ever since.

Hope this helps.

[EDIT] By the way, I had this problem with multiple different roms before I tried the fix.

This seems to be a problem with going from non-rooted GB to rooted ICS.

The point is, it is not a -the dev needs to fix this before I come back to this rom- kind of problem; it is a known issue.

---------- Post added at 11:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 AM ----------

That's interesting because I have never had a problem with MMS on this rom (started using it as of alpha 4) or any CM9 variant, for that matter.

Try fully Odin-ing back to EL29, then using the EL29 CWM to flash back to CM9.

I'm not sure if this will work or not, but its always worth a try if it means staying rooted over going back to stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
No doubt. I'm not sure which nightly started it, but battery life has gone down for me too.

I think a fresh install might help, but would rather do that with the next nightly to be released.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Agreed. One of the nightlies within this week has started ****ty battery life. 100% sure
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
Hopefully the gap in the nightlies is for fixing this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] te45a:
I got a question about GPS, when the source that Samsung released gets merged with CM9 are we still gonna need workaround where we have to use temp stock, or is it gonna work without having to use that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
No idea but the nice thing is that kexec is being added to the source built kernel so all we will have to do is reboot to recovery launch ff18 temporary rom and get a gps lock. Reboot your phone and you will be back in cm9 again with working gps. No more need to odin back to el29 cwm to get kexec working.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Custodian:
Hey thanks for the longed winded post. Ill try the said method.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
Just a quick question.

Does anyone know any information regarding a bew CM9 build? Possibly RC1 for our phone? :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
Not until the custom kernel is released. Then the cm team will have to approve it. Then official support begins.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
Wasn't the source released though? If I am wrong, may you clarify on this please?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
As I stated, I did the fix outlined as well (several times) to no avail. Also tried additional things. I am in Seattle as well and also tested this in San Diego last week and had the same issue. As mentioned by someone else, I am rocking kobridge's tweaks. I will disable those now and see if it works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
the source was released but the people who work on it (for free) haven't released the kernel built from it yet.

Anyone use the hackcenter nightlies on goomanager? What are the differences?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Those are just nightly kibridge tweaks.

Also, I just removed kibridge tweaks and got a lock within thirty seconds at my house which I could not get a lock at all last night. It wasn't the literally instantaneous lock like I got on gb yesterday. But, it worksssss!

For those with gps issues... Remove the kibridge stuff (if you have it) and report back. I'll make a post in that thread now to make the author aware.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Ok reinstalled kobridge tweaks.. Rebooted, no gps.

Uninstalled, rebooted, instant lock.

I guess something has changed with them as of a week or two ago? Can anyone else confirm this behavior?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
Yep. Now after installing tweaks, I can confirm that my GPS is not working either. It currently says I'm about 7 blocks east of where I currently am.
