Wow guys 1 word off however correct thread and bug fix notated sorry I got excited about the volume to make things crystal clear. The last "TEST" build. I tried cm10 but to much lag and slowdowns in apps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
all good brochacho...

just didn't want to hear a thousand people asking for links to nightlies here now...

(doesn't exist)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] comptonhubbard:
could someone PM me with the information on how to find the latest test build would like to try it out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Crsdr37:
Yet. Have to be getting close with how stable it is. Compared to the first test builds he put on twitter.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Anyone have an ETA on the new nightly this morning? I cant wait wait to see if they got the color fixed in the top right corner of the X from the boot animation.

That was my only problem with this rom....and since I mentioned it twice Im sure its fixed by now.

So when is that NIGHTLY dropping?

Edit: Also, gonna need a link to the newest nightly... I cant find it...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SASQUATCH:
I have a question why is it that YouTube vidios look blurry is there a reason for that and can it be fixed thank u

I had the same problem, using the YouTube app, when on 3g. Went to settings>general and ticked "high quality on mobile".

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Crsdr37:
So just curious why people are douche bags on here. Must be why a lot of devs keep there stuff private. I have helped a lot of people on different devices and people care to help each other . Not be dicks because of 1 incorrect word. Its not like I posted stuff about cm10 or asked questions about different ROMs. I quite remember posting the audio fix in the original thread in general before audio was working. So can we all just get along and play with our devices. Or should be people worried about making simple mistakes?

I dont think very many of the experienced users in this thread can be categorized as "unhelpful"... Several have heloed me..personally ...

I think we are demonstrating a tremendous amount of patience considering I feel like I did when those battery threads were popping up like Middle America Tornado Babies... And this #should# be one of the more productive, provide-a-logcat-with-your-bug-report type-o-threads on XDA....

oh yea, and don't rename the backups... that will also cause mismatch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Go into recovery, go down to back up and restore, select backup and let it go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SASQUATCH:
Thats what i do but it reboots so when i go back to restore i get the md5 checksum mismatch
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmonger11b:
Change the backup format to .tar. go to backup and restore, then backup format sub menu then select tar.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Someone already told him to do this yesterday i believe.. Pretty sure it worked too... Not sure why things have come full circle again

Not everyone looks for responses to their questions unfortunately I know someone had said to change the format I'm just reiterating the point

It does the backup once done it reboots which is odd:confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] heaphu:
I was seeing the same exact thing. The backup would start out real slow, then a reboot before it would finish, and the checksum mismatch upon attempting to restore. However, I just tried .tar and it worked perfectly. I restored the same way that I was trying before. just booted into the recovery, selected the file, and away it went.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sugewhite:
Damn. I got to random flickers and shut offs today while using the phone. Was good for about half a day after clean wipe and starting fresh on friday in the afternoon.

For anyone interested, I got Facebook contacts to sync without haxsynx. I used friendcaster and it worked just fine. First charge I got 7.5 hours before the please connect your charger text after battery calibration. Before anyone says battery calibration is placebo and directs me to the Google post that says so.... I KNOW! Lol but it can't hurt anything so I did it. I haven't had Los at all. Not yet anyway. The screen off tv animation stopped working after a while but no big deal there. It won't deep sleep with wifi on at all. It throttles down to 200 but no deep sleep. This was all done on the test build from yesterday.

I haven't checked if there's a newer update but if so, how can I update without losing all my settings? Just curious
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] primo523:
Simple one...how do we change lock screen wallpaper?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gatesmarch123:
Friendcaster is a great app. I've used it ever since Google parted ways with Facebook and their privacy meddling. Better than the original Facebook app on battery a well.

hello sir, i tryd to download that script because i just noticed after having this ROM for about 2 weeks that i cant send long sms's so seeing that you mentioned with battery saving you made the sms messages long enough for anyone to send one long message if needed lol. Anyway, the link you posted is now either deleted or moved from what dropbox told me.. so please any help on this little dilemma is greatly appreciated

Thanks

---------- Post added at 06:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:22 PM ----------

hello sir, you suggested in using a different theme for displaying battery percentage and i apologize in advance for the noobness but how would i go about applying a different theme?

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalek_Caan:
Just get a theme you like from the play store , or the android themes section of the forums install on your phone and than select it from themes in settings
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abadasstanker69:
Just experienced Los for the first time. Toggled airplane mode and went back to normal. I know it's a known issue, just wanted to report back.

thank you very much, do you or anyone have any suggestions for any good themes?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] flammenwurfer:
Love the Rom but I'm getting incredibly awful battery life on alpha 5. I installed gsam battery monitor. Says kernel is using a large percentage of battery. Is that normal?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bmwguy:
Same issue here
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmonger11b:
Depends on what you're looking for I'm using crimson cobalt atm
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Get better battery stats and check the kernel and partial wakelocks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] igorb81:
So far my phone runs super nice with excellent battery life. I get over 20 hours on a single charge with moderate to heavy use like yesterday. Streaming media over WiFi for over 3 hours, browsing, talking, texting etc. close to 3 hours of screen time and all this on 1500 mah battery. I think I will be upgrading to 1800 mah stock soon. We'll see how it goes. I will get even more usage out my phone. I am not in a huge rush to flash any test builds at this point since everything is working so smoothly.

BTW... I just tested my phone yesterday with my Ford SYNC. And my phone was successfully paired with SYNC everything worked normally except I couldn't stream music via Bluetooth which is not a big deal for me. I can play it via AUX cable.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] flammenwurfer:
Is there an alternative that doesn't cost 3 bucks? And what do I do once I check? Is there any way to fix it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] igorb81:
Personally I have tried a bunch of themes and I was not a fan of any the one that seemed ok to me was Uber Jelly or something like that. The rest seemed almost as bad as touchwiz. Most of the themes seemed too colorful and too childish looking to me. I personally prefer the stock look. A lot of the themes go over board for me. I just installed a battery widget reborn beta and it seems to work for me just fine for now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Dont know but maybe someone can suggest an app that shows wakelocks. Betterbatterystats shows what is keeping phone awake when it infact should be sleeping. It does more than that though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
I ran into an odd problem yesterday afternoon that apparently came out of nowhere: I was unable to receive ANY kind of text message SMS/MMS. I was able to send but none of the people I text got the messages. I didn't really have time to trouble shoot the issue so I just temporarily jumped back onto Rujelus' ROM.

I can't think of anything that I installed or altered that I was having this issue.

Anyone else experience this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sugewhite:

GSAM does all that, number of times waking, time held awake, etc., you just have to spend a few seconds exploring it.

sms issue!! and yes ive done my research lol

Hello master devs, i was hoping someone could help a fella out.. if i try to send a semi long sms (going passed the 160 characters mark) my text converts into an mms message and will not send and i have to cut and paste whenever a time comes and the message happens to be that long. I saw that there was a script link for improving the battery life in this thread that included the sms characters increased by 99999 or something like that and i tryd it and it still did not work.

Kind of an annoying problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Also, i had previous issues with sending mms messages but i installed/flashed an mms fix zip folder which i believe was on this thread too, i dont know if that has anything to do with it but just throwing it out there..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sstriker:
I think better battery stats is free on xda. Just do a search for the apk.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] igorb81:
Yes. You are correct. It is available free somewhere here for XDA members. At least that's what I saw back in the day.

Hey guys..just curious. What themes are you running on this ROM. I'm looking for something cool. Preferably blue. Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bcparker:
I had been waiting for the next public release but I'm gonna take the plunge for this today finally. Just wanna know your opinions here: should I flash Alpha5 or 09/07?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wraith404:
Yep, it just doesn't sort by them. Just click into any app details. I find the apps with the most wake events hold the most wake locks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] flammenwurfer:
Thanks to everyone with the tip about Better Battery Stats on xda. I found it. :D

Last night I wiped my phone and reflashed to the 9/7 test build. Only manually installed a few necessary apps. Didn't do any titanium app restorations. Have only had my phone unplugged for a little over an hour and I'm already down to 67%. Here is what bbs has to report. I'm not quite sure how to interpret this, but here are the screens I thought might be relevant.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
I'm no expert with this, but from what I can tell, you're taking a huge hit from your modem. Look at the amount of time you've had no or unknown signal and no data connection. That is a lot. That causes the radio antennae in your phone to work overtime searching for a signal. Your phone is also not deep sleeping well. You may have been looking at it the whole time, but of the 1hr 25min it's been unplugged, it's been awake for 1hr 15min of it. Doesn't account for 33% battery loss, but it is quite a bit. I would also recommend using gsam battery monitor. It has a sub app called App Sucker that is a little less detailed on first look, but is much easier for the layman, such as myself, to read.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] theguz4l:
sbrissen mentioned to me last Friday that this build would go public if all went well over the weekend. Assuming it did, I think we should see a pub. release today
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Sec battery monitor kept your phone awake 26 mins. Thats more than what I see. What battery monitoring app do you uae?

---------- Post added at 10:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 AM ----------

Thats partial wake locks in better battery stats. I am most interested by kernel wake locks since those are the hardest to figure out sometimes. Does gsam show those? App locks can be easily rid of by just stopping them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
I believe so. If you go into app sucker and tap kernel it will give you a list of... something. I don't know how to read it. My ignorance shames me.... LOL!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] flammenwurfer:
Better Battery Stats is the only battery related app I have installed. Is there anything I can do about the no signal? flash a different modem maybe?

My phone has just been sitting on my desk unused for most of the morning and it's only been in deep sleep for less than 20 mins out of over 3 hours. It's a fresh wipe and flash and I've only installed BBS, chrome, SMS Backup restore and Solid Explorer. Is it mostly the modem searching for signal that's causing my massive battery drain then? Does the rom install a different modem than stock ff18? Because I haven't flashed any modems and I was getting much better battery life before this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Yeah you can try different modems. Also go in the built in battery monitor and make sure media server is not very high. There are some users with media server draining battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rehpot1:
Using the recovery that comes with Alpha 5, haven't been able to restore any backups I've made, regardless of format. It makes backups without rebooting, and then I mobile Odin EL26, change ROM'S, get bored, flash AGAT's, try to restore my backups from CWM Alpha 5 JB (zip or tar) and get MD5 mismatch error. 5 or 6 tries.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
If I remember correctly, this ROM does not change your modem during flash. You can check which one you're on by going to system settings>about phone>baseband version. Unfortunately, the inability to update profile and prl on this ROM really hurts the modems performance. Some have reported success with a dual boot method, but I have no experience with that myself and cannot comment one way or the other. Hopefully one of them will chime in or you can utilize the search feature to find a post with instructions. Good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] flammenwurfer:
The built in battery monitor says "Android OS" used 61% of my battery! And kept my phone awake for 2.5 hrs out of just over 3 hrs total. WTF!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
I'm going to guess, and I could be wrong, that the search for signal is tied into that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wraith404:
Try flashing back to alpha 5, reboot into it's recovery, and restore the backup from there. To be clear, sbrissen's JB is like CM, it includes it's own recovery in it's zip, which overwrites whatever you flash from.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daevion0:
What is the battery life like on this ROM? Total screen time is the most important thing to me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rehpot1:
I'll try that tonight. Thanks! Will post result.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bcparker:
is my previous question just frowned upon or is it that no one who posted since then has any input?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rehpot1:
Knock knock.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asd87:
I was running Alpha 5 and loved it. I would just go with that and wait for A6. The only bad thing was the battery life. That's why I went back to stock unrooted til these builds are easier on the battery.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] redboy73:
Love this rom!!! Battery life is not great but I can hold out....:good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] igorb81:
I usually get over 3.5 hours to 4 hours of screen time on my 1500mah battery. I consider this very solid battery life for an Android phone. Usually lasts me over 20 hours which I can definitely live with. Matter of fact this is the best battery life I got on any Android phone to date that I have used. I may have had 28 hours on Gingerbread. It's been a while I can hardly remember! lol. I love this ROM. I was thinking about ParanoidAndroid. I am still keeping my eye to see if it will get me any more functionality or not. I always was a fan of AOKP except some fruity logos and such.
