[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ZaidAmmari09:
First off, Cyanogenmod and OP I want to thank you for the hard work you guys do for us flashaholics sitting on the couches all night long.

Secondly, Anyone experiencing any problems with this ROM needs to follow the instructions. Im using this as a daily driver, no issues whatsoever. The kernal with this beta rom just makes the magic happen. If you're having battery issues (which I did on my first flash) remember to follow instructions of a normal flash. Charge to a 100%, odin back to EL26, charge to a 100% again, then flash cm9 and absolutely do a clean install, and that means clear and delete everything! I got 15 hours of battery time with 2 hours and 55 minutes display time!

I'm really happy to see this get into the beta stage because this brings hopes for a official support by Cyanogenmod and also for the CM10 developement. Excellent work guys! Thanks OP. :highfive:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nthornton1990:
I would like to say that this rom has been running wonderfully for me. Just started using it this morning and the battery life is insane. Stock battery no under clock no juice defender. And this is the life I get.

Btw that was just first cycle... looking forward to running this for a while..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
No, the reason it's not working, I'm thinking.. is because something is preventing the phone from reporting its MEID which the app needs for licensing...

Good god man, I believed you without all the pictures... but the bug is known, and it's the same cause as the answer above, the phone is unable, or unwilling to report its MEID, for reasons unknown (yet) and the mac is partially calculated (normally) based on the MEID, thats why it stays the same.

If your internal memory is mounted as /external_sd and your external sdcard is mounted as /sdcard its because you chose the option in storage config to use your internal memory to store appdata and what not... appdata is stored on /external_sd.. and since you want it on your internal memory... internal memory is now mounted at /external_sd... see how that works?

the whatsapp issue is seperate, its to do with the MEID thing i talked about previously...

battery dies before full discharge

hey guys I have a battery problem that i'm wondering if someone could help me with. did a search and one other person had this problem but i didn't see anyone post a resolution

i'm just upgraded from alpha 6 to beta 1. ever since then, my battery has been getting a weird problem where it dies before fully discharging. the battery would show 50-70% of juice left but then die suddenly. upon reboot, i would have 0-5% of battery left. if i try to do anything, after a few seconds it'd flicker (as if it's running out of juice) and die again.

i tried doing a battery pull, fully charging to 100% while off, but it'd happen again. i never had this problem with alpha 6.

any insight on this problem? bad battery? maybe bad flash? trying to figure out what's wrong before doing anything like a data wipe or buying a new battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
sounds like a bad battery. is it bulged at all?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evo-t:
Why is it that when I install this I can't restore my TB backups? Not even that "APPBAK" works... I miss something? Also why is there duplicate pic files? Oh, also when I do a backup of this or CM10 I can't restore it.. On any recoveries it seems. It will show the Sammy splash screen and then that's it..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] quantum3:
Google play?

Just did a clean install and I am loving everything except I can't reinstall all of my apps because i can't find the google play app. I tried just jumping on the web but when i d/l from googleplay from the website it says it d/l's stuff but it never shows up in apps. what am i doing wrong please? (yes i am still "green behind the ears")

thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evo-t:
Did you install gapps?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] psych0r3bel:
Sounds like a bad flash...I'd do a hard reset first to be safe, if that doesnt work try redownloading (or make sure the md5s match) and reflashing. TB might not work, depending on which ROM you were on before. If upgrading from a GB or TW based ROM it won't work, things will break if you restore data. Just reflash and you should be fine, and when you restore, make sure you select Apps only.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Only getting 1x (rather than 3G) with this ROM and FI03 modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evo-t:
I have seen this with a few of the last Alpha builds. Md5 matches, just none of my apps are in TB. Very annoying but with AppBak instead of it recognizing files I had to go through and hunt them down, so I am back on track. Still odd about the gallery and the nand backups though. The gallery duplicates has been showing since the early builds of CM9 for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jweavis:
I deleted mine, could you send me a link, dropbox maybe?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
update profile/prl. you'll be fine after

Why can't you restore with TB? Worked fine for me, just don't restore any system data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jweavis:
Had my phone not power on from the power button from standby. Battery was at 90% last I checked. It didn't respond and I didn't reboot. 5 hours later I rebooted the phone. No messages had come in (missed 5), 3 missed calls, and the battery had completely drained.

Still looking for phonewithnoname to flash or I'll nanad back to it if I have to.

Anything I can provide to help? on BlackPrint now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Are these ROM's flashable from internal storage rather than external SD? I can't seem to use any non-stock ROM without the phone constantly rebooting itself at random. Trying to track down the cause... Verified MD5's, tried other SD cards, same thing.

How's the camera function in this rom? Any issues?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
TB is not looking in the right place for your backups. Go to settings, backup folder location. Then detect, whole device. TB should scan and find the right folder and you'll have your backups.

For duplicates, I think I saw someone suggest to delete file called .nomedia located somewhere in the sdcard. Then the dups should be gone. I've used quickpic app for probably the last 2 years. Best gallery imho and never any problems.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dansidebottom:
Duplicates can be fixed by unmounting sd card and rebooting, wait a few minutes while it re indexes and your pics should show up right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
Guys check this out. I decided to put in a spare OEM battery I had to see the difference between this battery and the one that usually never leaves my phone. It was the battery I got with this phone. No tweaks were used. Did not bump charge display around 30% brightness. Also the tiny bit of charging was just so I can copy over a file to my comp.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
Nope the only thing I did to go from 3 hours screen on with about the same time on battery to this was put in my OEM battery. I bought a spare for emergency flashing:) and figured it couldn't hurt to start cycling that battery and give my old battery a rest. Its stock Samsung 1800mah

Can anyone give me a kernal recommendation for changing battery life. Its good but good is never food enough
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AllenR85:
Is it even worthy to note some of the issues with applications I have on this ROM that I don't have with others, or is that something that should be pointed at the app developer just to be sure?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
Anyone ever have issues with auto sync not working? I see all my accounts are set to automatically sync. But I am not getting new email pushed to me. I have to go and manually check my email.

How do I change my lockscreen when using pattern from 3x3 to having more dots?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
The kernel bundled with this rom is great. What have you tried so far? Undervolting, Different governor are some places to start.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fallenraven75:
I have been using it for a week now and battery life is good. How would u change the goverener. I am using on demand right now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sai5o4:
You can only use the kernel that's built into the rom for now. To change the governor, go to settings, scroll down to performance, hit ok, processor, and then click on processor. As for which governor to choose, most people seem to like pegasusq. And make sure to check set on boot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
On a side note tegrak appears to work well with b1 as well as chris 41 latest cwm kernel running all stock with undervolt-50mah all steps and getting great battery life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SteveO1683:
So I've been using this ROM for a week and absolutely love it, kudos to the developers!

What is everybody seeing for battery life? My phone is usually off the charger by 7AM and usually has to be back on the charger when I get home from work around 6. That's with around an hour and a half of screen on time and my screen brightness isn't that bright.

Is the CWM that is included in Beta 1 considered a "safe" recovery?

Is the only way to do a temp ROM going back to EL29 or has the issue been addressed in some of the nightly releases since beta 1s release?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
typical battery ;)

Anybody try flyboys yet?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
This ROM is almost perfect for me. Only 2 issues I have is that the LED lights for missed calls/texts dont appear to be working and Gmail doesnt auto sync reliably. I hope these get smoothed out in a later build
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Nobody else seems to be having these issues. Are you sure its not just settings? Did you verify Gmail is set to autosync? By default its not since it has to be downloaded separately. Not sure on the notification light. Did you maybe set quiet hours and disable notification lights?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aleph23:
1. Best to have the notification lights off. Your phone won't go into deep sleep otherwise, which makes it a battery killer. You can turn them on in settings though, if you really need them.

2. Gmail sync never worked for me on any of the cm9 releases I've tried.

Side note, I'm currently running re-calked so i can have hulu and mhl while traveling. Can't wait to go back; battery life is horrible and the phone is laggy. Like OG epic laggy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
It's not just gmail I think it has to do something with background data. As I don't get my words with friend's or exchange email's.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HappyFillmore:
Tried CatmanDo and phone and everything else FC. Did not try flyboys.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
My LED doesn't work at all in Beta 1 anymore. Charging or anything. Works fine otherwise and I can't get lightflow to make it budge. I was just gonna blame the new open source library they switched to and figured its fixed by now. Coulda swore it was working at first install and its working fine at boot etc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
weird. gmail and others sync. words with friends notifies.... did you clean install? or dirty flash?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
Complete fresh install. Was pretty bummed cause was starting to fall in love with it.

I did further testing and got on my laptop an started firing off emails to both my work and gmail emails and they never came to my phone. I had to manually sync. And I never got my words with friends notifications till I rolled back to my nandroid of el29
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Doncabezon:
Same here. Dirty and Fresh install. Installed from external sd, if that even makes a difference.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
very strange. just for grins install "phonewithnoname" (get it in my dropbox post couple days back in this thread) which is what I a running... you can flash it ontop of beta1 dirty. wipe cache/dalvik. and flash gapps ontop again.

what's interesting is if other apps are not notifying such as wordswithfriends, it almost seems network related. are you on wifi when testing or 3g? if wifi, disable it and toggle Airplane mode once and try again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
Also thought it might be network related so I toggled wifi and 3g same thing. Works as expected with fi03 and el29 based roms. This is the only rom I ever had this issue with.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
Chris will want a logcat in order to see what is going on.... You may want to logcat and add the issue into the bug tracker.

---------- Post added at 12:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 PM ----------

I'm reaching here but you may want to try a 'fix permissions' in CWM. It is possible that your permissions are screwed up which that will rescan and fix. It is possible that your apps aren't allowed to receive sync notifications because of it. Might be a waste of time but I have read this fixing sync problems in the past.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dokholiday44:
Awesome, but the battery......

Battery gets sucked dry real quick
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
How exactly do you want someone to help you without any information in your post? It's likely an app draining it. The ROM itself is easy on the battery (read the thread). There is also no 'information' in your post as to betterbatterystats or anything. Read the various links provided already in this post to fix your battery issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thedarksavant:
There are links in my sig that should help. The two biggest drains for me were the LED and Chrome.

Turn off all LED notifications - your phone can not sleep when the LED is on/flashing

If you have Chrome, turn off tilt to scroll in the Developer menu. Tilt to scroll wakes the phone whenever you tilt it, which is probably a lot unless its just sitting on your desk.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aagiants:
Thanks Devs! This rom is awesome! I originally rooted my phone and flashed to cm10. No matter what i did the battery life was horrible. I had to switch to CM9... Glad i did.

This rom definately last a LOT longer. Thanks for the hard work :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] genderblurr:
Does anyone else have the issue with video call apps the sound only comes through the top(what you hold to your ear) , so I'd have to hold the phone to my ear to hear. It will not play through my speaker.

Why is that?

@calisro

Is there a recommended method for sending a logcat to chris? I was just going to turn it on and then jump on my laptop and send a couple of E-mails to both my gmail account and exchange account. But what I am guessing is that nothing is going to appear in the logcat cause I honestly don't think something is erroring out which is what he would be looking for. O think more or less some service or whatever is not allowing certain background services to run. This is a semi educated theory but maybe in a way to preserve battery the phone is going into. A deep sleep and part of that deep sleep that minimal services still have to run in order to keep real time notifications available to the phone is not running when the phone enters into a deep sleep? I am spit balling here but that's what it feels like. Once the phone is off the charger and screen is off I can get my girlfriend to send me notifications with words with fiends I can send myself emails and I never receive any notifications even after I wake the device. I am just wondering of the logcat is even going to show anything. Cause the advantage of tree he logcat is to show debugging info when something is erroring out.

Youri issue is different. It seems that. The rom isn't reporting the correct MEID affecting licensing. Chris commented about that earlier.
