Strange, I am also revolutionary unlocked. Its been awhile since i did it, but i do not recall having to do the wire trick with this phone. I remember doing that with my friends evo3d, but not this one. Maybe I got it unlocked before that was required?

HBOOT 1.44.1107

RADIO 10.11.9007.07_2M

The data loss occurs for me after about 2-3 days of use. However it did not crop up until last week, even tho i have run A6 since release.

edit

After initial radio update, the phone just sat and spun at the boot screen. It wasn't until i wiped the cache/dalvik that i got a full boot
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jonnycat26:
Audio is clickly-mcclickerson with the A5 kernel on A6. Very, very much worse.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Yeah that's the old hboot and radio. What I was saying is xmc warned me about the new radio ( 11.59 something )rebooting devices when they were woke back up and about 2 mins later it started on my device. Once I took the new hboot ( 1.45.1313 ) the radio ran fine, but it was a journey getting there

Is there a requirement to update to the latest versions of hboot and radio?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
My thought is the hboot and radio are tied together somehow. And I like to be s-off so I had to do the wire trick. But in order to get the new radio you have to ota update. *Just what I "think" because nothing has proved different.

Ok caught up with the posts

So to get a5 kernel on a6

I have to copy the qifi module from a5 to a6 system library module etc and the a5 boot.img

But in recent posts claims that battery life is even worse...

I'm on A4 and I'm getting 8+ hours with messaging Google now and music.... So my question is that could I use the same process for a4 to a6?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
I don't know why everyone wants to be on alpha 6 so bad. If you take the kernel away, there's not much else left. Unless you specifically want one of the fixes from the new release

The new release should be coming out soon anyway. Its coming up to 3 weeks since the last release. Bug tracker has been filled and this thread is swarming with the issues as well
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jonnycat26:
The bug tracker has issues, but I don't see any issues being marked as fixed for the next release.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] butch87402:
Screen wake and whatever little fixes they have

I know this may sound dilly but it was a feature why I got this phone...

The fm radio.... Can I get this back on cm9 or do I have to go back to sense?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] qayshp:
registering on other networks

Unfortunately I was unable to look more closely into the issue, but this weekend at ToorCamp, my DS on Alpha 6 was unable to register on the ShadyTel GSM network using one of their SIM cards.

Was anyone else at ToorCamp, and if so did you have luck?

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] bigtruckguy3500:
Ok, I just got a hand-me-down MT4GS from a friend after using a G1 since 2008. I unlocked, rooted, and got S-off on my phone, and then I used Clockwork Recovery to install this Alpha 6. I didn't flash the boot.img first, because I assumed I wouldn't need to with S-off. And the CM9 boot screen stayed on for about 30 minutes before I finally decided to pull the battery and restore.

Anyone have any idea what the issue was?

My radio is 11.59.3504, if that make a difference.

Sorry if I'm asking questions that have already been asked. I didn't see this exact issue anywhere else.

Thanks

You either had a bad download, or you didn't do a full wipe. Check the md5 of the download and if its right you just didn't wipe right

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] LaRoach:
Try hooking up your USB cable and watch the output using ADB logcat while it's stuck on the CM9 startup screen. With luck you'll see some sort of error repeating which will help point to the problem.

The only problem I have is the battery life is terrible. And I only have 2 stock batteries which I can easily burn through in one day :mad:

I'm close to ordering some anker batteries- I assume you can use the anker wall charger to charge the stock batteries just in case I need em, right?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Coug76:
The anker wall charger can charge the stock batteries just fine. I have used them on all my android phones (MT4G, MT4GS, OG Droid) and my camcorder, my camera, a friends camcorder...

If it is 4.7v it takes care of business. I am very pleased with it despite the first impression of build quality.

I flashed cm9 alpha 6 a time before after switchin around roms... and just recently the last couple days I been flashin and re flashing because my gallery won't load....nor music... I can go to linda and see all my files but they won't load in gallery. I haven't yet to move files and format but have defrag. And nothing yet has worked. Reason I won't move from this one yet is for sure I know everything major works like data and camera. And browser.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Coug76:
apparently ROM Manager is responsible. It is putting a .nomedia file in either sd root or android->data. This is telling the device to not look for the media files.

Update Rom manager then track down the file and delete it.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Narhim:
Well, I my doubleshot has been acting a bit weird after ronund 2weeks after flashing the alpha 6. I am experiencing force closes of programs that run in background, mostly it's the gapps.google app.

What happened to me few times already was a phone restart after I opened the keyboard to write a message (message app already running). Another thing is, I have the feeling that my battery is being drained more than with previous alphas.

I did not install any additional software and am using the phone the same way with very little variations during the day...

Last thing are the caps and alt lights which are not working, which is known already??

Thanks for the good work, keep it up devs!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Stryder5:
Yep, everyone is reporting that the kernel from A6 is much more draining than the kernel from A5. Also, the light on the caps/alt key bug is already known:

turning WIFI on reboots phone

Dont know if anybody found why this happens: basically turning WIFI on from the power "widget" in the notifications menu freezes the phone and 2-3 seconds later it reboots. After reboot WIFI is on. After that, i can turn wifi on/off and everything is fine no more reboots.

I have not seen this when enabling Wifi from system settings, just from the pull down notifications drawer. If i enable wifi from settings then the power widget works fine from there onwards.

Any ideas why this happens?

on another note... this rom runs the cpu at about 53 degrees as opposed to 76 on sense rom
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
It used to do the same for me, but on the A6 kernel I experience some crazy over heating as well, so I had to revert back to the A5 kernel when I use CM based ROMs right now. Hopefully there is a updated kernel out soon from korny/Tbalden :D

To answer your question tho I have no clue if SetCPU will interfere with this ROM but I know it will with any Virtuous ROM, I stopped using SetCPU because I just didnt have enough profiles set to justify the use of it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nlarge:

Fresh flash so in 3 days we will know
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
Meh, won't matter anyway. I've set my clock all the down to ~400MHz MAX with the screen off. Doesn't really make a difference to the battery life. The main reason for battery drain is phone awake time and screen on time. Those are the 2 biggest power draws I've noticed.

So if your phone is awake, it will eat through battery. Even if you scale the CPU all the way down to 192MHz.

Side point:

I think these CPU governors actually do more harm than good in a way. Just because your CPU is set at a lower speed doesn't mean it will consume less battery. Processors scale up or down almost instantly depending on what they are doing and how much computing power they need. So by clocking down, you're only limiting the amount of computing power you're delegating to whatever the processor is trying to do. If anything, that probably keeps your phone awake even longer, considering it has to handle the same load with less speed.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
I don't know, I get pretty irritated tho when my phone doesnt trigger a deep sleep state and it drops 60% in 4 hours of screen off time :/
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AgentCherryColla:
The only Rom I have ever had that with once Mix XE. I used the 8% UV Kernel. I also had it clock at 1.5Ghz Max, and 384 Min. I had insane battery, and deep sleep.

Wow. I just used my Blaze for the first time. The battery lasted 1day 12 hours to 5% (44% display, 25% cell standby, 10% android system, 6% phone idle and android os --- display use was 3h 18m) and this was with brightness at full, data on all the time, wifi on around 3/4ths of the time. My MT4GS with A6 lasted a little over 13 hours (62% display, 11% screen with 46m of use) to 35%. Yesterday, it lasted for about 12 hours to 12% with literally 17m of display use!

Should I expect battery life more like my Blaze with the MT4GS (without the A6 kernel)?

I have noticed that the battery drains regardless of what you do with the phone on A6. That said, if you do use the phone heavily when it's comes right off charging, you can get about 90 mins of screen on time.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sino8r:
Anyone know why there are no mentions of HSPA settings in the build.prop on this rom? Have they been moved to a different file since ICS? Could their absence be the cause of the dreaded disappearing network icons? For example, the usual ones like...

# doubleshot RF team request

ro.ril.enable.dtm = 1

ro.ril.gprsclass = 12

ro.ril.hsdpa.category = 10

ro.ril.hsupa.category = 6

ro.ril.hsxpa = 3

You can always flash the A5 kernel and proper modules. wildchild made a handy update.zip for his phablet rom that works with most AOSP ICS roms. Works quite well and my battery life is as good as it usually is. The battery stats can be off sometimes but that has always been the case with most ICS roms I've used. It could be my Anker though ;)

Well, after running alpha 6 without a problem for 2 weeks, my phone started to restart. Sometimes it would restart while after unlocking the device, sometimes it would restart 15-20 seconds after unlocking the device. I'm attempting a reflash to remedy the situation. Also, it seems if my phone is connected to a computer while rebooting, it will get stuck on the splash screen. Has anyone had these problems before?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
Yes, if you're connected to a computer, you will get stuck somewhere in the boot process. That has happened to me before. That's why I always disconnect and reconnect as soon as the phone loads up
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] justngo:
Yeah, I reflashed alpha 6 and all seems well now, I'm not sure what caused the problems. I tried to do a logcat for review, but it kind of fails because it gets stuck on the boot process when connected to a computer, so the problem won't be logged properly...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sino8r:
No ideas? Anyone?! :( I can't believe I'm the only one curious about this...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AgentCherryColla:
What is the reason your looking into this? Is it for the data speed up tweak?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sino8r:
I was just looking at the build.prop and noticed that those were missing. I know of a few speedups for networks like net.tcp.buffersize etc...

But it just seemed strange that they are missing. Maybe they were moved since ICS but there was little info I pulled up on researching this. If they were just missing (which I doubt... probably moved to another file) it could be related to the data issues people were having.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AgentCherryColla:
Very True, anytime I Supercharge my data drop outs get fixed. There's one called "3G Tweaker". It worked on A6.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Narhim:
Sigh... Reverting to alpha 5. Battery (mugen) drain of 1% every 30 seconds when my 3G is on + listening to music... Battery gets hot as hell, as well as cpu. Watched my apps load themself extensively in background processes. There are 30+ apps running, the RAM is at round 60mb at highest...

Set cpu sometimes stops working, as well as gapps.google (everytime I on 3G or wifi I get an error).

Interestingly all of this started after few weeks of running alpha 6...

Did not install anything new since flash...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
Can we get an update devs?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AgentCherryColla:
I think there on break. CM9 is pretty much done with, and it's all about CM10. All the issues for CM9 are kernel related. So it would make the most sense that they'd be focusing in getting a Preview of CM10. So when CM10 hits the RC status we can be part of that group. But this is just a guess :T
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mdneilson:
The kernel between ICS and JB is more or less the same. JB is a minor revision, so large updates like the kernel should be relatively untouched.
