I can confirm roaming is NOT working.

I have b32 and Nyan 4.1, no extra scripts. Never went to phone settings screen, etc.

I was in a bar last night having a cigar and a nice glass of bourbon, a bar I always go to and Always Roam in. Could not send/receive texts at all. Just had the X in the signal indicator, and pull down status showed "searching for service". Never got the "roaming" delta icon.

Flash newest b33 and flash 4.1 nyan. Also check ur roaming settings . Works like a charm for me but I always got signal
[Epic 4G Android Development] diablo311:
So I was browsing the forum last night and I downloaded the 3g booster from marcusant and it actually worked this time my signal went from .49mbts to 1.59mbts so if anyones 3g is sh*ttay they should flash it :)

Battery life depends on usage,signal,screen on time, and of course running apps in the background and a number of other things....

This is my normal battery use while at work. Just over a hour of screen time. Running stock aopk b33.

[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
And apps like f.b. eat the battery up. Look at screen brightness, and how often your emails search for mail. It is the little things like that that collectively have a huge effect on battery life.

Email.apk and Exchange.apk are renamed with .bak as the extension. They don't do anything. Facebook only syncs hourly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Speedin07si:
With screen on and awake being most of that... its not really surprising.... I mean I can eat through my battery in 3 hours if not less if I really push my phone and don't put it down.

Btw I don't have anything set to sync and manually turn data off when I'm not using it and I use roam control when in poor service area... helps a lot

Cannot complain at all, this is how its looking after the batter fully discharged and i charged it, mind you when i turned my phone back on it was on 95%
[Epic 4G Android Development] kehlan:
So if I disable 3G on a regular basis, will I be missing calls/texts that are being sent?

On another note, all this radio disabling and app freezing seems extremely excessive for the amount of "My battery life rules" feedback I'm seeing. Good battery life should mean it lasts long without disabling every last bell and whistle the phone has. Or is that how we've always had things around here? Because I recall ROMs in the past that have had stellar battery life without requiring you to bend your phone over backwards to achieve it.

All I'm saying is that there's quite a bit of lacking going on here when it comes to the battery issues. Just as well, the power-saving functionality hasn't even been properly implemented yet, it threatens to screw my phone if I enable it.

My final suggestion (since just having good battery life is out of the question) is to get the power-saver up and running. I'm honestly curious as to why it's not already.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Speedin07si:
If you disable 3G data you will still receive all texts and calls. You will NOT receive email,MMS,fb notifications (or anything like them).

I usually turn data on every 45-60 minutes and let it check things.

.......really appreciating B33 (THNX alias8818!): glad to have the 4G toggle back again!

.........+ for those of you curious about getting the navigation bar on board, here is a quick 'how-to'.........I know that not everyone is willing to compromise screen space for this diddy, however, the bar can be scaled down quite a bit + w/ a little imagination could be turned into a helpful feature on your device, just keep trying different things:

To activate navigation bar...........system settings / Rom control / Navigation bar / 'enable' Navigation bar...........................then: in Rom control / Power menu settings / 'show navigation bar toggle...............lastly: long press power button / Navigation Bar Controls / select Navigation Bar Icon.

...............nav bar has the potential of allowing us to create a dynamic / useful feature! .............. but if not your cuppa-T, you can quickly disable by 'unselecting' nav bar icon on power button.

Lol on 3g my phone pluments... I may try a full day with just 3g but that's hard... especially when I'm home and I have a 30mbps line.:)
[Epic 4G Android Development] lcovel:
I'm one of those people who swear on Juice Defender. When my screen is off my WiFi and 3g turn off shortly after. I have JD set up to turn on WiFi/3g every hour to allow apps to synch (Facebook, K9mail, calendar, weather services, etc.(Synch turns off from 11pm-6am) Also JD allows automatic enabling of wifi/3g when apps of your choice are running. Juice Defender is highly configurable, I would advise people to at least try it out and understand the settings before saying "It's bad for your battery" Over night I loose 0-1% battery charge and loose an average of 15% during an 8 hour work day. Its not unusual for me to go a day and a half (36 hours moderate use) without charging. Also, while I do stream music on Pandora, I don't play many games on my phone.

This is seriously what I was talking about.

I feel like this ROM is developed for people who show their phone off maybe once a day just to feel cool, then don't use it at all until they're at home and it's already plugged in.

Does nobody actually use their phone? Do they just enjoy having ICS and not care if the battery lasts an acceptable amount of time?

I alternate between AOKP and CM9 generally and have enough battery life to normally get me through a day. I also have the ET4G 1800mah battery, so that helps.

[Epic 4G Android Development] FrankyFiggz27:
33 is flyingggg with supercharger settings. WAY faster than 32 imo. I found that if you use nyan kernel with sio and ondemand and oc to 1.2ghz and make the min 200mhz, the battery life is still great and speeds r tremendous. Vm heapsize should be on 92 instead of 128 by default...duno y it isn't. More free ram and no fcs.

Not saying custom roms don't get better battery life , they defiantly do.

That is the probably thee best battery life and performance you will get out of this phone.

ICS is merely just beta at the moment. Tweaks are yet to be complete. With that being said, haven't you all seen the awesome memory tweaks flutter down the pipes from our hard working CM9 team?

They are starting the tweak process but want some that is stable. Its a balancing act between stable, speed, and battery life. Of course we all want the first two... well first. The battery has yet to come I feel.

Updating PRL and profile cannot be done from aosp ROMs. There is a lengthy procedure to do this such as the sdcard bootable TW ROMs, or backing up, flashing a TW ROM, update then restore. Please use the search function when possible. This is a known and well documented issue. Thanks.
