I haven't gotten it. That's what keeps me on alpha6 despite the battery performance. I was worried it was some new rogue application I'd installed or something until I saw other people on here saying it's worse in alpha6 than before. I'm still very happy to have this ROM on my phone.

The problem lies within the Activity Manager and how the Key dispatching times out

Grand Recap of FRESH Alpha 6 flash

Quickly before I get into work, I wanted to post what's been going on with my flash.

NEGATIVES

--Battery stats are completely off. Better after the reflash, but still appalling. I simply reboot my phone, and my percentage jumps or falls massively.

--There is a massive battery drain. To the point where I'm losing 30% or so of the original charge I had. I'm not sure if this has to do with the wifi drain, or something else. I used to be able to get 15+ hours out of the stock battery. Now, I'm pushing 10 hours.

--Awake=BATTERY LOSS. And my phone is plenty awake, even when it's in my pocket most of the time.

--That being said, CPU governors are almost useless. Even if my phone is chilling around 384MHz all day, battery still drains like no other, if it's awake

--DSP Manager makes all music sound like crap when you start adjusting almost any settings. Makes everything sound EXCESSIVELY bass heavy. Music also clicks, crackles and skips, no matter what player you use.

--And I'm not sure how many people experience this, but sometimes when I go to answer a call the answer, reject, and text buttons disappear when the person is calling my phone. Essentially, I'm forced to watch the call get missed, and the person ends up going to voicemail. No matter what I do or press, the buttons for the call will not come back.

Positives

To be honest, I haven't really noticed ANY, apart from my screen touch and lock sounds coming back after mysteriously disappearing during alpha 5. Maybe a bit faster, but that can also be a placebo of a fresh flash.

Hi kornyone! I am not sure what has changed with the network connection, however there was a change between alpha 4 and 5 where when I use Waze it can not connect to the network. Everything else works fine. I have used different versions of Waze on this, and both Alpha 5 and 6 it does not work, alpha 4 does work. I have tried with fresh installs of the alphas wiping everything on the internal memory and removing the user optoins folder of the Waze program on the SD card so everyting is clean with the same results.

Thank you very much for looking into this, and if you need anything from me please let me know.

Resolved by restoring the default APN settings, even though they were correct.

I urge anyone to read my previous post, and STAY AWAY from Alpha 6. The latest release is a dud, and WILL disappoint you.

I don't know if tbalden or kornyone have been keeping up with this thread, but hopefully they read through the recurrent problems we're having. I don't even know if getting a logcat for half of these problems is worth it. It doesn't seem like the logcat would do much good, considering the type of problems there are...

Its possible he's not having battery drain issues because hes using the phone differently (no wifi, 2g instead of 3g... who knows). Instead of claiming he's wrong, you should be trying to figure out how your phones differ. That'd be, ya know, constructive 'n stuff.

Also: I hope everyone having battery issues has opened a case, or updated an existing case, on the bug tracker.

Is anyone else dealing with extremely slow data transfer speeds on alpha 6? Copying music via usb in this rom transfer rate can average 400-600kbps, but when I'm in clockworkmod recovery and mount usb data transfer speeds can run from 4-6mbps. I believe my transfer rates were slow on alpha 5 as well. I'd be willing to test that if requested.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AgentCherryColla:
That's normal. I have no clue if its been address.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] umaro:
Well, with wifi calling, here's how mms is supposed to work. It doesn't reconnect to t-mobile towers, it activates the mobile data connection over the t-mobile "tunnel" that wifi calling creates. That's why you get the little g icon while sending mms.

So I guess my question is, on this rom, while wifi calling is active/connected/running, are you able to send/receive mms? Does the little "g" icon show up?

Thanks

Essentially you used it as a phone and nothing else. For comparison, I used to get about 20 hours on stock battery with virtuous inquisition. Wifi and gps were always on. No mobile data though. Battery life was way better on that rom, even though it was using the old hacked up 2.6 kernel

No , something is wrong with alpha 6 realease causing batt drain.

Go back to the front page and the direct download link where you downloaded alpha6 right click on the download link then click copy link location

open another browser page

in the address bar paste link location then in the link address change the 6 in alpha6 to a 5 and then hit enter

voila' youll get the d/l for alpha5 ofcourse which doesnt have the battery problem

HELP: Phone suddenly dead

I've been running A6 for 5-6 weeks and besides the battery drain and random reboots it was ok. Yesterday i tried the WiFi tethering for the first time and it work well for a few hours. However, suddenly it rebooted 3 times in a loop and went dead after the last reboot. I tried all combinations of pressing buttons, replacing battery, charger and so on and it just doenst power up and doesnt show any ligths. The battery doesn't look swollen or defective and it was fully charged when the phone went dead. I dont know if this has to do with CM9, if not id appreciate the help anyway.

I can take it to the T-Mo store, but im worried if they DO power it up first thing they will see is the CM9 animation boot.

Any ideas why the phone went dead? do i need a new battery? how do you recommend me to proceed? Should i add it to the collection of paperweights?

Two notes on wifi tethering if it's helpful to anyone:

1. I don't know if this is news to anyone but me, but I found I was able to tether using barnacle by itself (but chose not to use just barnacle because it doesn't have wpa encryption). I'm on a Mac, by the way.

2. Getting wifi tether to work (after starting and stopping barnacle) required setting the device profile in Wifi Tether to Google Nexus One.

For wifi to work with the a5 kernel you also have to push the bcmdhd.ko in system/lib/modules from a5 to a6. The wifi module version must always match the kernel version or else wifi wont work

I even saw that when I slid out my keyboard to write this post. For a while I thought I was just accidentally touching something when I was sliding out my keyboard, but it is too consistent and now that I am paying more attention I don't see anything I'm touching.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SKAm69:
I don't think I'm seeing that.

For S-on users. If you have already downgraded to Alpha 5 and fastboot flashed its kernel and you want to have Alpha 6 with the kernel of Alpha 5. Just open .zip file with Winrar or something like that and copy bcmdhd.ko file from /system/lib/modules of Alpha 5 to Alpha 6 zip and overwrite the file. Then just flash this new modified .zip file with cache and dalvik cache wipes.

I am having a continuation of a problem experienced several days ago. I keep loosing my data connection. When this originally happened, i was able to resolve the issue by resetting my default APN settings. Two days later, i experienced the same problem and the APN default did not resolve it. I reflashed the rom, without a wipe (cache/dalvik) and was able to get my connection restored.

Today, i again experienced the issue and none of the previous fixes resolved the issue. I ended up doing a full wipe and restore.
