Neither did it save any juice for me. However I use my phone alot. That app was designed for people who don't really use it. That way its not using services like data and what not when you aren't using your phone.

Doing well on this beta, and much better deep sleep and battery. Compass is messed up though so I need to look at how to fix that. Here's some performance pics using the recommendations from the blog.

I don't even need to underclock as it barely ever hits 800 mhz.

Forgot where I read this but amoled can take like 6x more power per pixel to create white compared to black at full brightness. Use dark themes and more importantly keep that brightness down when possible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dudebowski:
Totally true. Have you felt your screen during the boot animation? you can feel the white heat crawl across the screen.

Best Theme I've seen is this guy's DigsDEEEEEP into the framework and nearly everything is themed

and best Inverted Gapps

Rujelus22's are alright too, but I've had trouble installing them sometimes.

Hi all,

I get average 6Mbps w/ 4G at home. I tried WiFi tether with this rom to tether my 4g connection w/ my PS3. As long as it isn't set as ad-hoc, the tethering works. I tried to watch Netflix and even though the speed can go from 6Mbps- 20 Mbps, according to WiFi tether, the streaming video quality stays at "Low/SD" and the WiFi tether app shows download of about 1.5Mbps at the most. Any idea why the ps3 doesn't use more of the bandwidth?

Fyi, am not sure if the issue is with Netflix or the ps3

***Update***

I created a thread in general for this

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
ping times most likely.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lems111:
What do u mean by that?

CM9 B1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
Tethering has high ping and high jitter. That means inconsistency.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
download speed is only one thing. A 5mb 4g download and a 5mb download on a cable line are ENTIRELY different. ping, jitter, bandwidth, etc all play a part. its like comparing a super highway to a small suburb street just because one car can dive 70 mph on both...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] edlee:
Since when has there been a gpu 02 setting at 66mhz?, I just noticed this today as I was adjusting my under volt settings
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lems111:
This means that there is no way to configure tethering for video streaming applications, such as Netflix in ps3, to consume more bandwidth of my 4g connection, eh?

***Edit***

If I replace my ps3 with a Google TV Box, like vizio's Co-star, which is android based, and use it for netflix-4g tethering, do you agree that the video quality would be better or at least equivalent to watching Netflix off my phone/tablet HDMI'd to my TV?

CM9 B1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
I'm pretty sure this was answered.

---------- Post added at 09:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 AM ----------

"Video Quality" is subjective. 'Quality' depends on the application and the codec used among other things. I would agree that no matter what you connect to the android 4g, you would get the same bandwidth, jitter, line quality. How that application reacts to that and uses it is app specific. Google TV's netflix could use a better codec than PS3 or not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] glmooreky:
Is anyone else experiencing this issue. Is there a fix or has it been addressed yet?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalek_Caan:
I think that may have to do with how the phone is named now as D710 in the ROM .. if not mistaken the apps need to be updated to look for that instead of its old naming
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
Sounds like it has an issue with the new 'device' name that was changed to be in line with cyanogenmod's naming. You should reach out to the developer so they can add the device. I don't think this is a 'ROM' issue but rather an app issue where they are trying to certify an app against a particular ROM.

Hmm. That should work. You may want to try a second time to flash the direct boot CWM then reboot recovery then install CM9. I haven't done this specifically with Beta 1 but I did with the nightlies just few days before. btw, you can MOBILE ODIN it as well just to make it easier.

I've been on Beta1 since it came out and let me just say...it's now that I have the most problems compared to all the nightlies from chris. I've had random reboots, video recorded out of sync, camera crashes, and noticed that when paired with Bluetooth with my care and device is playing music and goes to sleep, hitting the power button pauses the music. You have to hit play each time you use Power to wake it. Never had a problem before.

I'm going to give CM10 a stab, never had the urge before, but beta1 tickled that urge. I mean, how much worse can it be?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
Let me ask you a question. When you say "compared to all the nightlies from chris" which nightlies were you installed? Were you installing the ones from here:

http://goo.im/devs/Shabbypenguin/E4GT-Nightlies

or the ones from here:

http://goo.im/devs/chris41g/CM

I ask this question because they both had a differing kernel. The shabbypenguin ones were not running an experimental kernel while Chris's were. So if you went from the Shabbypenguin's one to the Beta, you actually jumped to a new kernel and potentially a few more bugs. Chris will get them addressed. That being said, mine has been very stable but I haven't done some of the things you reported. I have NOT had any reboots though.

I tried to recreate your 'music' issue but couldn't. What app are you using? I used google Music and it played fine and didn't sleep. THe power button didnt stop the playing either...

You need to do a full wipe/clean install before you come troll this thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] langdoy:
Actually, shame on me, but I just flashed over it. Maybe I should have done a clean install. I figured if I had to do a clean, I would try CM10 first (which I just installed and I'm letting sit now). I was using chris41gs nightlies, didn't realize these were shabby's with diff kernal. Maybe I'll jump back with a clean install if this CM10 is crap.

As for the music app, it's just with apollo. Been using it since I had no problems with it until I ran into that odd issue. Odd thing was it didn't pause it all the time, probably about 80% of the time I woke up the phone with the power button.

USB tether is native in this ROM; but, wireless 4g isn't working natively. 4g turns off and 3g is activated for native wireless tether. The WiFi Tether app supports wireless 4g; but, streaming Netflix in my ps3 with it, only uses ~1.5 Mbps at the most; although, my 4g speed shows 6Mbps average up to 20 Mbps.

It sucks bc if Netflix would use the bandwidth available, I would cancel my internet service with comcast and tether.

My understanding of this is that 4G over-wifi tethering is not priority since it is considered a feature and it 'bypassed' some carrier restriction. I do recall that a previous version of the nightlies for chris41g had 4g wifi tether but it never came back.

I'm still having issues with high Android OS usage. Fresh (wash, rinse, repeat) install of beta . I've verified that the phone is capable of deep sleep and does so when appropriate. This was recorded leaving my phone just sitting there overnight, started with a full charge. I killed all open apps before unplugging.

Is a logcat gonna be helpful for figuring out what's doing this? I don't know how but can go figure it out and repeat this (this is repeatable, fine it several times to confirm before posting) if it'll help. If not a logcat, then what would be helpful?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
wlan_wake is caused by your network talking to your phone while its trying to sleep. wlan_rxwake is a result of wlan_wake. There can be many reasons for these wake locks and most of them are outside of your rom on your network.

You can *try*: dhcp: in your router increase the lease interval to 1440 minutes ( 24 hours ). There is rarely any need on a home network to have frequent lease renewels.

EDIT: I even set a static IP and I still got that wakelock. dhcp isn't causing it. I'll keep digging.

I'm going to attempt to get to the bottom of what is talking to the phones by running a network trace on my router against the phone and see what packets have a destination of my phone while its sleeping. I'll report back if I make any progress.

Hey guys. I've been having a problem that started before flashing Beta 1. My 4G speeds have taken a nose dive.

I can't pinpoint exactly when it happened but ever since alpha 6 I have been "dirty flashing" nightlies with no problems. I had been getting between 8-12 MB down from 4g (!) at work on all ROMs, nightlies included. At some point I stopped getting those awesome speeds, regardless of what kernel/modem combination I would use I was getting ~500 Kb down (!). So with Beta 1 I decided to do a clean install (EL29 one-click, CWM, profile update, PRL update, gps lock, FULL wipe, cache wipe, dalvik wipe). Unfortunately I am still getting around 500 kb down and it's really frustrating. Coworkers on sprint have tested the 4g on their phones and nothing has changed for them. I have tried at least 20 different modems (some GB, some ICS) with Beta 1 and still nothing.

Does anyone have any advice on what I can do to fix or at least diagnose the problem? Is there some sort of log I can pull (I have ZERO idea how to do anything like that, but I'm confident I can learn)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
