[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crutzulee:
Ok so this morning I had a little bit of a frustrating time getting out the door and I'm wondering if anyone has good info to help me and others. Specifically, I'd like to hear from those that actually understand what is going on under the hood so that I can have a morning routine with my phone that gets me out the door with minimal frustration...

First off, I know that the easiest solution is to revert back to an ICS rom. I know that until source drops the JB roms are experimental and that issues are to be expected. We are so lucky to have the devs that support our phone. They have brought us this far and we should show appreciation through the "thanks" button and, as means allow, through donations. Don't get me started on the ridiculous lament of some that can't afford it - Guys if you can afford a phone plan (or a cup of coffee), kick the dev a fiver (not much, but if everyone did it would add up)- side rant off

Back on topic - my two issues are my paranoia over the deep sleep issue when pulling phone off charge and losing in call volume. For me the two issues are related. Like many, I need my phone to maximize it's battery potential. I can't afford to pick up my phone in the afternoon to place a call only to find that it has been draining battery because it was not properly sleeping because of how it was pulled off the charger. I have no rogue apps running and I am not entirely convinced that unlocking it before removal from the charger fixes the deep sleep issue. I am further convinced that nobody, not Samsung nor our amazing devs can fix this issue. It must be a hardware problem as Samsung had to be aware of it before the ICS update and were not able to fix it. My solution currently is to reboot my phone every morning after I take it off the cradle.

This leads to my second issue. After I reboot my phone, I immediately dial my home phone number to verify that I have in call volume. In most instance I know immediately if I hear the phone ringing through my note's ear speaker even before my home phone starts ringing. If I hear this, I am good to go - as long as my phone does not randomly crash throughout the day I am sure that if someone calls me, I will be able to hear them or if I need to place a call the phone will act as a phone.

Through the work of our devs, we have some very stable roms and random crashes are minimal. I am going into my third day on Manelscout4life's eclipse rom and have yet to experience a random reboot! My problem this morning was that I lost in call volume after my voluntary reboot and had a hell of a time trying to get it back. For those, who understand what exactly is happening, I would ask - how is the quickest way to get up and running so that I can get out the door?

-I know that the issue has been linked to rebooting while connected via wifi so I toggle it off before rebooting

-I know that sometimes a simple reboot fixes it so I try that -however today three simple reboots served only to waste valuable morning time and drain 3% of precious battery life.

-clear app data and force stopping phone and related apps before rebooting sometime works - no dice this morning

-clearing caches and fixing permissions in recovery sometimes works- this was the kicker today, but only on second try...

I know that the in call volume issue will more than likely be fixed once JB source is dropped by Samsung. It is a known issue that affects all JB roms currently out and I know the devs are working hard to fix it without Samsung's help. But I think if someone can give me a sure fire morning routine (preferably under 5 minutes). I would be good to go with the present state of JB stability....
