Yeah, tried that already too. Tried installing gmail, Words with Friends, Facebook, etc. from scratch and no luck there.

In TB, I restored all data and selectively chose what I wanted to restore. I've tried quite a few combinations of restoring things...

Now that's an interesting suggestion. I'll have to look into it. One thing I tried hoping it would fix those sorts of issues is restoring all my data onto a clean install then going back into CWM and wiping only cache and dalvik, not data, and re-flashing the ROM, but maybe no such luck? MMS works, so it shouldn't be that same issue...

I dunno, I was thinking that I would try installing everything totally from scratch again if this ROM reached a beta 2 status or had a particular nightly that everyone was raving about (e.g. Vroom Vroom from back in the pre-beta1 thread).

Its a nightly. So I'm sure there is something. Does it boot and work without major noticeable issues? Yes.

sorry...

Everything seems ok, haven't really had a chance to mess around that much though
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
My experience is that if you restore system apps/data from a different or high version OS, you will most likely have issues with something..

When you restore, just restore user apps/data, let the system apps update themselves through the market..

Thanks guys allow me to be more specific. 4G/Wi-Fi/GPS? How's battery any improvements?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
you didn't mention it so I'm asking, but did you reflash gapps after the rom? also when you did a restore all, did you restore system apps? you shouldn't. I also don't restore gmail and other apps that sync with TB.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
No no.. the settings do not "update" you have to set that up IF you have problems with the data restore.. try doing one app at a time, then you can see which have issues.. just don't to the restore all batch..

I use TB myself, I don't restore any system data so I don't have issues, I use what is in the ROM.. I guess I was thinking system apps like gApps and camera type apps..

But when I restore, I restore app only, then restore data for maybe 15% of my user apps..

Oh, and I do use the stock launcher for CM10 based ROMs, but my favorite is goLauncherEX and I have a backup for each ROM and I just use whichever save file for whichever ROM I am on.. makes it super easy.. they all have the same settings, but the widgets are different

If you go to your apps and go to Dev tools scroll down to sync tester I haven't messed with this much but you can see what is registered to sync and what not. At least you can see if the stuff you want to sync is even registered to sync. But first do everything mentioned above by the others it will probably fix it. My understanding is you really don't want to restore any system data it causes problems. Also as stated above you have to flash gapps each time.

Terrible battery life!

Hello everyone,

I flashed to this rom about 2 weeks ago, but ever since my battery life has been awful! I'm using 59% of my memory and that is after using task killer and killing off all the programs. When I was on alpha 6 I would only use about 40% of my memory.

Can anyone recommend what I should do? Re-flash the rom? Or use a nightly build, and if so where would I download the nightlies at?

Thank you all!

Sorry I'm not very good with these roms etc..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VanillaG0rilla:
I tried wamp wamp and kept getting the android.process.media force close error. You getting that? It happened as soon as i opened the play store. I tried wiping app data but no luck.

I just wiped cache/dalvik and flashed over beta 1. Went back to beta 1 for now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
I didn't have that problem. Did you just wipe cache/dalvik or clean install ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
flawless so far. ill chk 4g speeds soon.

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------

1) quit worrying about memory. this isn't windows. :angel: memory will get used and it would be a waste if it wasn't.

2) uninstall the task killer. They are NOT helpful.

3) follow this to help with battery. I typically get 3.5 hours of screen on time plus 13+ hours of standby. Read it... It will help if you follow each part.

Calisro gave some good advice right there. Anyone having battery issues to follow it, as with a few minor tweaks the battery life on this ROM is excellent.

Is internal storage mountable as external_sd in this build? I don't use a microSD card, so all the recent experimentals have seriously borken my storage. I wiped, went back to FH13 stock and rerooted to After the Beta
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FugitivePuppeT:
My phone seems to randomly shut off for no reason, sometimes right after I boot it. FYI I did a complete wipe when installed.

Have you tried my suggestion? The people app doesn't sync with Facebook unless you tell it to.

Edit... You may need to go to people app, menu button, contacts to display, customize, Facebook to make sure it is checked here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jabbajac:
I'm using wampwamp and I've had this problem from alpha to beta to wampwamp where my 3g would gray out and I'd lose data until I toggle airplane mode on then off. I did a clean flash, wiped data, wiped cache, wiped davlik cache. Other than that this rom is great, I'm getting great battery life (unless my screen is on) and thanks to the devs working hard on this rom :D:D:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VanillaG0rilla:
I just wiped cache and dalvik. I'll try a clean install later.

I remember having the issue on builds prior to beta 1 but couldn't remember if there was a fix. A clean install should take care of it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
Before you do a clean install try wiping the system too along with the cache and dalvik cache. It's wipes the ROM but you still have your data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
I also have and have had this problem, and I believe it is a known issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] budeone:
I am not quite sure what this is. Do you just flash over this rom?

Where's the wipe system option?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] camalus:
You don't want to do that.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VanillaG0rilla:
Why not?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] camalus:
Because the recovery for this phone resides in the system partition if I remember correctly. You will end up having to Odin back to stock and redoing everything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elzero26:
I have done system wipe before, it was safe for me. I even formatted internal and external cards and wipe everything. then flashed roms with no problems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] airesch:
Recovery resides with the kernel, not with the system partition, so as long as you have a safe kernel+recovery to be wiping from, it "should" be safe.

I just rooted my phone (FH13) and installed this ROM. Is there a way to change the status bar color or make it transparent? I tried the Reloaded ICS but it didn't work with this build. Thanks in advance!

I believe you can do that with omega status bar in the playstore. I never needed to do that.

It is another developers experimental builds of Cyanogan Mod 9. I know there are differences between Chris's & Shabbys build, but I don't know the specifics, other than chris customizes the kernel.

Yes, I do usually just flash over my old rom, as long as it is a CM9 rom.

Thank you for your response. I thought that may be what it was. I guess I will wait to see what the new beta brings.

wifi

I am on WampWamp with the FI25 modem. My Wifi will be working... and then after letting it sit for awhile, I'll come back the wifi will be greyed out and the internet/email will not be working/updating. I toggle the wifi (off for 5 secs and on again) then it work again and I'll get all my email notifications coming in. I have been getting this on all the builds (that I've tried 4-5 since beta1).

Is anyone else getting problems with Facebook contacts synching???

I tried Facebook Sync, and I have contacts enabled and synced for Facebook Sync, and inversely just for Facebook.

None of my Facebook contacts show on the phone list, despite choosing the option to show the contacts.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigcraig:
Guy,

Just want to say thanks for all the hard work you put in. I was waiting for something like this. My wife has same phone and has stock ICS, all she know's is she has to charge it 3 times per day. With this beta rom I went from 7:30am to 5:30pm using wifi at work and checking email, minor surfing during lunch (45 min). With about 6 phone calls. Went from 100% @ home....45 min drive.....then the rest at work. When I left I had 72% battery! WELL DONE!

Questions:

1. When I reboot I see samsung galaxy II splash screen and the yellow triangle with exclamation point. It does boot into cm9 but is there something wrong with install? I have tried formating everything and re-flashing, same result on reboot.

2.some video playback is choppy....where I can hear audio but for 3-5 sex the video is frozen. Then maybe 2 sec of good video then back to forzen. Is this a known issue?

3. Not really that important as much as a convenience for me. In my contacts, I used to be able to swipe right on a contact to call and left to message. Is there any way to get that back?

FYI:

I followed all official instructions on how to install CM9 on my phone. I was leaning towards the way odin executed as to why I still have the yellow triangle and exclamation point....as that is what I saw for download mode. If I missed some detail of my issue please let me know as this is my first post here. Thanks again, and Thanks again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
same here. I rolled back to phonewithnoname. wifi is critical to me.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
I'm not worried. they'll get fixed when they get fixed... I'm happy
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ryan23474:
The yellow triangle is normal. There's a semi risky app that can remove it available on the market, or from xda for free.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] groovedexter:
Just started randomly losing data signal today.

The phone will display 3G as normal, but no data is being transmitted over it. Can't use any browser or any app that requires data. SMS and Voice still working fine.

However, now the phone will also randomly drop into 1x data, and then it will actually transmit - at 3G speeds. It's very strange.But, most of the time it is now in the no-data 3G mode mentioned above.

I haven't installed anything in over a week, it just randomly started happening yesterday.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Unless you have confirmed with another phone on the same carrier do not forget this can happen on any phone if the network/towers are having issues :p Not that I consider Beta 1 to be the best in network performance. But you made no mention of anything comparative in the time frame this is happening. Such as flashing stock and having terrific performance. Not to forget if you do that 1x shows as 3g on stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Rain I had this same problem. On beta 1 I went to touchwiz fh13 stock and it was better. Still some network issues. Even called sprint and followed their procedure and it didn't help. I'm on CNA and seems to be gone. I like in great coverage . 5-6 bars everywhere. But it would go from 1x to 3g all day.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] the_jon57:
I have had this problem on every E4GT non-Touchwiz ROM I've tried. It happens sporadically throughout the day, but especially when I go to my basement office. The signal is bad down there, and after a half hour or so data will stop working even after I move into a stronger coverage area outside. I have to toggle Mobile Data off/on to get anything happening again. I've actually switched back to TW because of this and will probably stick with it until the next Nexus devices come out and I switch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] third son:
The yellow triangle occurs when you are using an unsigned copy of Samsung firmware (kernel). It has no effect on performance. If you don't like it you can either use a program to try and remove it or buy a "dongle" for a couple bucks on ebay that will set the ODIN count to zero. The is what I have used in the past. I have not experienced any choppiness in video playing using beta 1.

Hope this helps.....

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] groovedexter:
Sorry for the lack of details, I rushed into posting right before crashing asleep after a loooong day. Here's some additional info:

I have two Epic Touch 4G's both running CM9 Beta 1. This issue happens to both of them. Each is from a different batch, one was purchased from a West Coast vendor with a warranty expiration of 12/3/2012, and another from an East Coast vendor with a warranty expiration of 4/15/2012, so I know it's not just a bad phone/batch.

Issue - 3G icon showing, no data being transmitted. 1x icon showing, data will transmit.

I've been running CM9 beta for a week and everything was running FLAWLESSLY but then this issue randomly started happening 2 days ago. Prior to this problem I never ever saw the 1x bar on CM9 either, so that is strange.

I've tried this across 3 different locations in a 50 mile radius, 1 location with weak signal (1 bar) and the other two had strong signal (full bars). Whenever the 3G icon is showing the data connection won't transmit. Results are the same regardless of location and relative towers, unless of course the entire county is having issues, but I doubt that as the problem doesn't exist for a neighbor/friend of mine running stock FH13.

I've tried switching airplane mode on/off and it seems to fix the problem for about 30 seconds after a 3G connection is established, but then it just goes right back to no data.

I have temporary EL29 installed on both phones and I don't have this issue at all while running EL29.

Prior to installing CM9 Beta 1 a week ago I was running rooted FF18 and never saw this problem. It has gotta be something with CM9 causing this.

Edit: Will continue testing and report back.

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 PM ----------

Which one would you recommend for CM9 beta 1? I was reading on Androidcentral about someone that flashed to FI03 and was still having this problem.

---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 PM ----------

Does it happen under normal signal conditions? I never actually lose signal or go to an area where the signal is that bad and I still lose data while the 3G icon is active.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
roms do not affect signal. update your profile and prl. Also try a new modem. modems are rom independent so try a few. I like FI03 but ymmv.

also did you flash wiping data? also don't restore system apps if u did.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Haha. I flashed el29 ff18 fh13. I was on fi25 when that began so there wasn't anything newer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GiantJay:
I've had the no data issue. All together I ran this rom for 3-4 weeks. Did a clean install a few times, I updated the prl and profile and got the gps lock before flashing this. The signal bars would go from blue to Grey and I would lose data. Didn't matter if I was in a low signal or great signal area. This happened all over the greater Sacramento area. But I know how Sprints service is in my area, not good at all, so not sure what causes it. I'm back to fh13 for now because I need a fully functional phone for work and I don't lose data on stock, although the speeds are at snail speed a lot, it still works. Other than that this rom for the most part is flawless. Maybe I will try different modems when I get a chance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] groovedexter:
Was reading here: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/57641-signal-loss-with-cm9-stable/

The data loss thing is a known issue and has been since at least alpha 6.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] groovedexter:
Still getting the NO DATA bug even though 3G is showing.

Here's what I tried so far to fix it:

- Updated PRL - tried 3 001120, 11119, and 60690 - 0011120 seemed to be most stable, but it left me perma stuck in 1x. At least it wasn't switching to the unresponsive 3G.

- Opened QPST and reflashed phone settings. No effect

- Wiped Dalvik, Cache, and even did a Factory reset - No effect

- Odin flash to STOCK HOME EL29. Data still not working above 1x speeds

- Flashed CWM Directboot, Flash CM9 beta 1, Flash Modem FI03.zip, Wiped Dalvik, Cache, Factory Reset - No effect. Now 3G is back, and no data is being transmitted as before. I've come full circle.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jefbal99:
android.process.media stopping has gotten much worse, the camera, and google apps, unlocking the device, any audio related event triggers this error. Need the Storage issue resolved so that the internal SD can be mounted to external_sd again, like Beta1 and AfterTheBeta builds.

Anything I can capture to help this work?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jabbajac:
I've flashed fi25 and fi03 modems and still have the same problem. It's gotten a bit better on fi25 and is definitely related to low signal. It grays out when I have low signal but doesn't return when I actually get signal. I've been trying to get it to boot onto temp ff18 to update profile and prl but that stopped working after I flashed Beta1. I'm on wampwamp now and still haven't gotten that to work. Another weird thing that I got was my GPS went on the fritz last night. I was driving around and suddenly it said that I lost GPS signal even though the icon clearly shows that I have a GPS lock. After it reacquired the signal in the navigation app my position started jumping all over the map like it couldn't decide where it was. Normally I'd attribute that to interference but I was on an open road with no visible buildings on each side. I've seen one other post on this forum about it, is it a known issue with the newer nightlies? It's never happened before. (I'll try and grab a logcat next time that happens) Other than that I get pretty good battery life with light - med usage, it's very stable and I love using this rom. Big thanks to the devs who work so hard!

Hate to be that guy, but I have two questions and can't search on mobile:
