I'm on 11/26 and I have terrible battery life too. Phone has been getting hot. Seems like to only be happening on 3G. No issues when on wifi.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
I just ran stock and I'm still getting crappy battery life, so I might revert back to the older builds. And probably change to NS4G for now and wait upon a newer phone for 2013.

NS4G with same setup except. For modem and kernel obviously I get far better battery life. Imagine if I had the GSM version.

Sorry for off topic, but continue on.

updated from stable to 11/25 nightly. No issues but occasionally, when updating, afterwards a few apps get "unlinked" from the system. Like my ES file explorer, I tapped the icon and it said app not installed. So i went to google store to add it and it said it was installed so i opened it from there. After that the normal icon works.

This happened to almost all my apps about 15 days ago when i did an update but I cant remember the version.

Battery life unchanged from stable, still lasts about 1 day on standby with light use.

You wouldn't happen to have those apps on your sd card would you? Same thing would happen to me when I would flash over newer builds until I realized it was because those apps were on the sd card and the media scanner wasn't finished scanning.

I think I've mentioned it before but not sure what to do, if it's something I can fix on my own or not. When in my car dock, the holo ring to unlock is too far to the right. Half of the ring is off the screen and I end up swiping about 2 - 3 times before I get it just right and it unlocks.

It's not that big of a deal, but it has always been like this and that makes me wonder if I'm the only one who has this problem?

If any dev reading this needs a picture to see what I'm talking about, I'm more than willing to send one. Anything to help y'all out; you're the best!
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
I haven't found a way to fix it on my own yet, and they do know about it. However, you should only have to do it once when the phone is first docked. One work around is to have the phone unlocked when you dock it. It shouldn't be shutting the screen off while docked anyway.

International Data Roaming

Just came back from Canada. International Data Roaming didn't work (voice did). I changed the settings back and forth 100 times, no dice. Had this problem when CM10 first came out as well. This issue didn't exist with CM9. Anyone else have any issue with International Data Roaming?
[Epic 4G Android Development] justppc:
I'll confirm no Data Roaming while in India on CM10. No voice either.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bypod:
I find that just sliding the lock a little bit more slowly and then deliberately holding the lock icon over the unlock icon for just a half breath longer unlocks it every time while docked.
[Epic 4G Android Development] czechpunk:
I've developed a way to unlock it, without too much hassle, by kind of flinging the holo-ring at the unlock icon. I can usually get it unlocked on the first try that way. I just need to get in the habit of unlocking it before I dock it, as AuGmENTor suggested.

btw, thanks AuGmENTor for confirming that devs know about it; that's all I really wanted to know.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RyleyinSTL:
It's an unfortunate problem...I do hope it makes the bug list.

Updated!

I was running 9.0.x RC1 and downloaded 1126. I had CWM recovery 5.0. Download gapps and all is working smooth. Cant believe I waited this long.

Issue I had, when I first ran the zip, it restarted, then kept going to load, error, reboot, and repeated. I pulled the battery and went back to CWM, but noticed it was now 6.0. Re-ran the zip file and it loaded, loaded gapps and Im off and running. Reload my apps from the g-store the phone is working great. I'll keep an eye on the battery and see how it works.

Thanks everyone!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dougrun:
Yes, they are on my SD card, but this is WAY after the upgrade (days after) so the media scanner has finished scanning, maybe it's just missing them on the initial scan. Is there a way to force-refresh the media scanner?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bypod:
Unmount, then remount your SD card. I believe the setting is under Storage.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rundmcarlson:
This happened to me after the last flash. Installing the missing apps from the play store fixed the issue, and all the data was the same since it was stored on the sd. Hasn't happened again since.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
The difficulty comes from the fact that the pull-down activates when your finger touches it, forcing you to "let go" of the lock slider. Stop before the status bar and it will unlock every time ;)

Try looking in the Android Accounts & Sync instead of Google Accounts & Sync... ;)

(Hint - Android settings can be found on an Android device, without a browser...)

Looking to upgrade from CM9

Hi, i was wondering what the procedure will be to upgrade from CM9, before i was on that i was on a gingerbread rom and have been rooted since day 1 of my phone. I have the 3 apps that save apps, phone records and texts and just wonder if its the same procedure, putting on sd card and updating via Clockwork, My major question is which version do i download, do i download the file then have to keep updating with each nitely update or is the last update the same file with all the current updates. I ask because I have the original CM9 and never did any of the updates cause i never had any problems, but lately my text messages are not notifying me and calls act funny. Was contimplating jumpng to the S3 this past weekend for 50$ but i love my phone and decided to stick with it. I did get a S3 for the wife though since she dropped her epic and smashed the screen. THanks for the info.
[Epic 4G Android Development] I Brick Phones:
Yes you still update via clockwork mod. Download the latest nightly 11/26 (each nightly is a full install containing all updates) and also get the latest cm10 gapps (easy to find via google).

1. Backup your apps using whatever method you like (I use titanium backup)

2. Boot into clockwork mod

3. Do a backup if you wish

4. Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache (you don't need to do this for subsequent updates once you're on cm10)

5. Install nightly

6. Install gapps

7. Reboot and restore apps, etc...
[Epic 4G Android Development] LASuxs:
On nightly 2012-11-24 , Since this update the phone abruptly turns off. At which point to reboot batter must be removed, and upon reboot almost full battery has been drained to below 4% sometimes fully
[Epic 4G Android Development] czechpunk:
Sounds like a bad flash, I've never had that problem before...
[Epic 4G Android Development] I Brick Phones:
1) how did you update?

2) did you verify the MD5 sum?

3) when batteries suddenly drop like that, they didn't really drain that fast... just pull the battery for a minute and put it back and the battery percentage will be correct again

Screen Black Issue

I found a very strange issue that started middle of this month. I am running nothing special, no changes to kernel, etc. Once in a while on reboot my screen will be half black. The boot animation doesn't show up and once the OS loads the screen is black except for the "app line" at the bottom. If I open the keyboard the screen rotation occurs and I see some app icons so I know that the OS is loaded but the top 2/3rd of the screen (in portrait) is completely black. This problem survives a reboot or a battery pull. To fix it I have to go in and clear the cache then it boots fine. Also, the issue never occurs in recovery. Does anyone have any idea what could cause this? Has anyone else ever seen such an issue? It's survived through multiple versions of this ROM.

Thank you,

[Epic 4G Android Development] czechpunk:

No problem; I had the same issue with mine last night on 11/26 nightly.

Word to the wise - newest gapps package 11/28 caused a bunch of FCs
[Epic 4G Android Development] 1midniterider:
Is this advice not use the latest gapps or that the cache must cleared to correct the fc's
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
I wouldn't use the latest gapps,20121128, as of yet. They are android 4.2 gapps. We are still at 4.1.2 for cyanogen mod. A little birdie told me though that the great devs of the cm team are working on 4.2 as we speak for our device. No promises though ;) I bet them giving us the 4.2 gapps is a sign of good things to come:)

Not sure if I ask here. The CM10 stable. No ringer will sound. Is this a known issue/fix?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bypod:
I've been reading the forum almost since inception, and don't recall anyone mentioning a problem with ringers sounding. Do other sounds play? Media? So you can be sure you don't have a speaker problem. Have you check in Settings--> Volumes to see how each volume level is set (Media, Ringtone, Alarms, etc)? Is your "Quiet Hours" setting enabled somehow?

But if I were you, I would also consider moving ahead to a newer nightly. Lots of good luck on 11/15-18 and even the 11/26 is super stable and awesome for me. :) Good luck!

HELP!!!

I was watching TV and not touching the phone when I noticed that the entire screen went black. I clicked on the power button but it didn't restore. I pulled the battery and rebooted but nothing came up on the screen. However, the phone booted. I was able to receive a call (I always have a bluetooth in my ear) and the camera flashed when I pressed the camera button. I pulled the battery again and tried going into recovery (volume down, camera and power buttons -- right??). The phone didn't go into recovery but booted up again -- with the black screen. The bottom buttons are lit and the keyboard lights when I pull it out. I have been on stable CM 10 since it was released without any problems. What can I do to fix this? I'm in a panic!!!! I'm sending this message from my computer because I can't use the phone.

Epic has a gyroscope? Maybe

I was looking around on google to see the specs of the epic 4g and the cyanogenmod wiki site for epic 4g says in the input section that we do have a gyroscope. Link http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Samsung_Epic_4G

Also I read that our six-axis accelerometer is the same thing as a gyroscope, from the comments posted on androidforums

http://androidforums.com/samsung-epic-4g/110467-epic-4g.html

CM Epic team and other devs, Is any of this true?
[Epic 4G Android Development] I Brick Phones:
It might try to mimic the actions of a gyroscope but from my testing it doesn't work all that well... try using the google sky map and you'll see that it doesn't track your orientation as well as true gyroscopic motion should.

Well at least it's only the OS reporting a low battery percentage, and not the battery actually being drained... many times i've had my phone reboot only to come back showing 4%, and then slowly watch the percent rise back up as the phone recognizes there is more power left than it thought :)

Can someone explain why Chrome (and Firefox) have this issue where they seem to pick random sizes for fonts on a webpage? I have avoided using either browser for MONTHS now, and I have goggled around periodically, and there doesn't seem to be mass revolt, so I assume it's something to do with this device running CM. It's just completely unusable.

Stock browser works fine, and I've been using it exclusively for this reason. I don't hate it, but Chrome is just better. I attached some screenshots. It does this on many sites, not just slashdot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jshugzda:
I just tryed sky map on stock el30 and it works great it tracked my orientation very well. Maybe cm10 does not have the gyroscope ported from our stock roms? Also only having 6 of our 8 sensors could that be the problem? Anyone else have any input on this?

I don't know what I'll do without a keyboard. I'm in a panic right now. I've had this phone for more than 2.5 years and, before, I had a Blackberry. I don't know why Samsung stopped putting the slide out keyboard on the Galaxy phones. It makes no sense to me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
To be honest, I hardly ever use my slide out. For everyday use, Swiftkey3 is my input method of choice. I use the slider specifically when I am composing a longerish email and need to see a bigger field of what I've written. I fond it too slow compared to the speed I can rip along on a touch kb at.

Actually, my phone's not in a coma -- it's just blind. Screen is totally black at all times. I don't get the Samsung or CM screens to appear. It probably goes into recovery but, because I can't see anything, I can't do a reset. On the Sprint Forum, I discovered that the black screen thing is a known issue and they suggest a factory reset to fix it. But my screen is also black in recovery so I can't do a reset.

BTW, My alarms are going off, I get text message notifications and the camera flash works. I have to pull the battery to turn off the alarm and text message notification. So I've isolated the problem to whatever illuminates the screen.

GPS long time to lock [10-20121130 -NIGHTLY]

Is anyone experiencing a long time to lock?

I enable the GPS in the status bar. Start GPS status. Standing on my porch or in the middle of my yard--unobstructed clear sky--the behavoir is similar to the stock w/o GPSfix. It takes a long time to see the satellites. It shows one or two for a while, then none, then they comes back. But it might take 5 min to show the typical 5-10 satalelites and acquire a stabile lock. Once it does, all is well.

Also I no longer get a lock inside my house.

So two questions:

1) Is anyone else observe a long time to lock?

2) Is GPS fix something that is or could be used with CM10? I know the GPSfix zip I had for stock will not install under CM10. I don't know enough about the phone architecture to know if the GPS fix was in the ROM/kernel/whathaveyou or in some parameters that can be programed via QPST into the GPS chip.

[Epic 4G Android Development] czechpunk:
I can get GPS lock within a few seconds, but for some reason, Google Maps didn't recognize it and continues saying "waiting for location".
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Mine is hit or miss. Most times it locks right in (and that's across CM7, 9, & 10) but there are times where it WONT. Hell, there are times it locked and giving me directions that it will just lose it for a minute or two. I blame all of that kind of stuff on Sprint.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
The GPS fix floating around was a replacement of lib files that fixes Samsung's 4 satellite limitation. It allowed for full locks on Touchwiz ROMs. If you use GPStest and see more than 4 locks then there is no limitation on CM10. The errors are more than likely due to MAPS.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rundmcarlson:
I almost always get a solid fix (but I live in a busy city) but there are random occasions where it will refuse to find satellites. I downloaded gps status from the market back when I had my hero and had gps problems and it still works to fix it for me. I just close out maps, then open gps status and it locks right in. If gps status doesn't work cycling airplane mode works or a reboot, but Its only ever come to that once or twice since I've owned the phone (bought it a few weeks after release).
[Epic 4G Android Development] bypod:
My GPS experience has almost totally depended on which Nightly I used, and to a lesser extent, Maps acting weird. On a few Nightlies I couldn't get a signal at all, sometimes I could get a signal great, until I toggled GPS off, then I never got a signal again without a reboot. At other times, only maps couldn't use GPS. I'm still on 11/25 and having great success with GPS.
[Epic 4G Android Development] labumm:
Kenny, I presume you are referring to the Maps application in GApps.

Which GApps version: The brings up the question which version of GApps should I use with the CM10 nightlies? I have been doing my CM updates with ROM Manger, which has been pulling down GApps 4.1.1 2012-07-23. I see on the CM web site that gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip is listed. Could this be part of my problem? Market shows all apps up to date.

In full disclosure when I orignally transitioned to CM10 stable from FC09 "stock" (factory reset, wipe all caches), I did a "restore all system data" from Ti-Backup. Could this have borked something. I can tell you all the Bluetooth parings where retained but broken. Wifi seemed too be OK. All the nightlies have since been installed on this with only a davlik cache wipe. All I was trying to do was preserve the Wifi settings, blue tooth, such. I also now have "Settings Storage" enabled. So I am unclear what "Settings Storage" is saving and if I where to do a clean install, it that would reseed any problem.
