Now I have a issue, I came from touch wiz to this awesome Rom. And all of a sudden my sd card was wiped clean. Any idea why? And is possible to recover it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Senyaka:
When you say SD card, do you mean internal or external? The external one should never be affected, but that said, when using paranoid android, coming from touchwiz to that, some how all my images got deleted.

If it's the internal, I have found with 4.3 releases anyways, that if you come from a touchwiz rom it will wipe the internals clean. Don't know why, but that was just my experience.

You can use apps like diskdigger, undelete, or hexabomb recovery to get back your images and movies. Alternatively you can use any pc program to get like file recovery to scan your phone when it's plugged in.

Sorry to hear that this has happened to you. It doesn't affect everyone. It's just sad when it happens to you.

Is your prox sensor on all the time? it was killing my battery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] K-alz:
This ROM is absolutely amazing. I just can't stop messing with it. I only have one very minor issue, when I lock the screen and the phone goes to sleep, my god the battery lasts forever like the phone is turned off or something, but once you start using it the battery keeps going down quickly. I was thinking it might be the brightness because this is the brightest ROM I've used so far. Any clues?

Nope. I know others have had the problem, but I do not.

Hi gurus out there, the autosmsservice wakelocks are killing my battery. Any tips please?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Senyaka:
I've noticed the same thing myself with this build. I doubt it's the brightness, that can be changed, and there are apps in the play store that can make the screen even dimmer, I don't remember exactly what it was called, I used it back on S2, but it made the screen super dark if you wanted it too.

It may have something do with the proximity sensor always on, or a rouge app. However, I have noticed this is a trend in all 4.3 Roms, but Beanstalk seems to be the best when it comes to this. Others, just drain like it's an iPhone. Keep sticking with it though, Will03 is making this the best and most stable Rom to use and with all the tweaks and extras thrown in, it's just too good to not use. :D

This has only happened once to me. A friend sent me an MMS and I got the notification, but nothing showed. Don't know why that happened, but it seems to be a very isolated thing now. Maybe wipe cache/dalvik and fix permissions? If worst comes to worst using Handcent or GoSMS usually fixes this.

This is a nasty wakelock, had it once and solved it by removing my google account and re-adding it

First you can try adding the Sync quicktoggle and turning it on and off, play with airplane mode and reboot. If it's not enough do the google account trick
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Senyaka:
Will, I was wondering what are the chances of getting the 4.2.2 messaging customizations on any of the 4.3 builds? Honestly, that is the only thing from 4.2.2 I truly miss. Would ripping the MMS.apk from the 4.2.2 build and copying and pasting it to the 4.3 one work? Just curious to see if you have done this at all.

Oh I see. Thanks for that kindly. Makes a lot of sense. What causes it to be on all the time, though?

Trust me I'm not changing this ROM at all. I've literally gone through EVERY single AOSP ROM. One by one and couldn't any better one. This one has all the things that I need/like. Too much to customize. I just love it. Plus willi03 is always on top of it, which makes it even more interesting and better. Hopefully he'll have a fix for that soon. Make sure you donate, please :)

BTW. Try to delete all of your apps and install them from the playstore. It actually helps a little.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thoth7475:
Now that you were able to recover everything, thought I'd give you an idea on how to make sure it never happens again. Whenever flashing a rom, move everything you want to your external card & either replace it or remove it until you're back up & running safely. I use a 2 gig card just for transferring roms from my computer & installing...it's an extra step, but I've never lost anything & in my experience installs usually go much smoother.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jeep447:
First of all I would also like to say congratulations on becoming a father recently, it's definitely a life changing experience that nothing can ever prepare you for! I remember hearing people say that they "changed" the day their child was born, and I never understood what they meant.. until the day my daughter was born :D Anyway I just thought I'd throw this out there in case it might help, and I might have missed something but I don't think you ever clarified which SD card you were talking about that got wiped? I did see that you were able to recover most of your stuff though so that's a good thing at least, and I'm assuming it was probably your internal SD card because that gets wiped automatically whenever you flash an aosp rom. If it was your external SD card though, that could've been caused by having an older outdated version of recovery, so it's always best to make sure that your recovery is current before flashing a new rom. If it was your internal SD card, I definitely agree with what the other guy said about backing up what you want to keep from your internal over to your external before flashing a new rom (because the internal gets wiped). The way I have mine setup is so that pretty much everything saves to my external automatically (pictures save right to external, downloads from email, text, and browser go straight to external and so on), that way if I ever forget to check before I flash a new rom I don't have to worry about losing anything. Another thing that I use a lot is an app called "Total Commander" and a plug in for it called "TotalBox" (which adds dropbox support including drag and drop). It's just an awesome file management app with dual pane support (which is awesome on our phones) and drag and drop functionality. I literally don't know what I'd do without it anymore lol, but I figured I'd mention it because it's a great tool for managing your files. Anyway hope it helps and once again congratulations man! :D

Just a heads up. Nothing gets wiped when you install aosp ROMs. It just gets moved to data/media. You can find it with a file explorer that has root permissions like root explorer or similar.

I am not seeing this. I sent an mms slay night and I am able to view it just fine in gallery.

I do notice however that my proximity sensor is on. BARELY. It took being in my room in the pitch black to notice. Even now with the screen on I can not see it. Is this what you guys are talking about or is yours brighter?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Senyaka:
That's what we are talking about bro. haha. It's not a big deal really. Only thing is, it shouldn't be on when the screen is on. Or if not using an app that uses the sensor at all. I've read in other threads, that flashing the latest NEAK kernel fixes this, I can confirm that with Carbon Rom. So I tried with the latest build of beanstalk, even though Neak is the build in kernel, and sadly no dice. All good though. I'm positive it will be sorted.

If I hadn't gotten a text at 5am and woke up in the pitch black at just the right time with the breathing sms in the off state, then I never would have ever seen it. When the breathing came back on, I couldn't see it anymore...and I certainly couldn't see it with the screen on.

On a side note, I installed the s3 version of Beanstalk on my girlfriends phone and her sensor is on. Barely noticeable, but more noticeable than mine. :) She has said anything about it...we'll see if she even notices it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zugshad:
I don't notice the sensor being on at all for mine, but I also have mine turned off.. didn't care for it to much and the drain even while sleeping was to much.. so I just turned it off.. i havent seen a drain any more via BBS and I don't see any lights or anything.. so don't seem to be having that issue here.

for the MMS, I get pics all the time and a lot of my group texts are received/sent as MMS and I don't have that issue here on my end, and this is with the stock stuff that comes with the ROM.

the only thing I have ran into so far (nohting till this point and it was the first time I did it) was an issue with wifi/data.. i don't recall ever reading anyone posting this so figured I would put it out there and see.. so the other day I turned wifi on and ran it while at the house. when i left the house, i turned the wifi off to put it back on the network..while i was connected to the network, I was not getting any data. i toggled the LTE and even turned airplane mode on and back off to re synch it to the network, i was still not able to get data... i had to reboot the phone for it to connect.. after that one reboot, I also received a FC on the phone process.. but havent had t hat FC since. i need to re-test and see if it happens again.. but figured i would see if any others have seen this..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jeep447:
You're absolutely right and thank you for the correction, I was actually thinking of something else for some reason, my bad. I've just been formatting the internal SD card myself before flashing a new rom for so long that I just had it in my head that it's done automatically lol. Anyway thanks again for the correction! :D

For those of you who want to change the screen brightness even lower than what you can, try out this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor

I have found it does help out with Battery life, not by heaps, but it is noticeable. It can also disable the backlights too so that also an added bonus.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sapps:
I find all this conversation about battery life to be very amusing. Here is what I know... With my brightness pretty high and decent usage I can easily make it from 7am until 11pm. At my age I try never to be out earlier than that and am rarely home later than that. I would imagine for the vast majority of us this is the case and therefore all this concern is moot. (or as joey would say... "it's a Moo point. . You know like a cows opinion. It just doesn't matter.")

Now my gf on her s3 can barely make it to lunch without the battery being below 50. That's a different story.

But on our phones with our ROM here if you can't make it 12 hours comfortably then you probably have a rogue app issue.

Anyway. It's been slow in here today so figured I'd ramble. :)

Development and fine tuning is what this site is all about, fam. I see your point, but understand pushing battery life is one thing many of us strive for in this hobby.

Love the rom gets better with each update. This question is open to all and not just the developer. How do I save my music playlist. When I flash this rom I notice I lose my music playlist so I end up going back to my twiz rom because it is faster to restore my back up vs rebuild all my playlists. I have a different playlist depending on my workout routine for the day. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sapps:
I understand that... That's why I used the word amuse instead of annoy. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pc747:
ok the issue is winamp and zombies run, when i flash a new rom every app sees my playlist but those apps even after backing up winamp with tibu.

So they did surgery and removed the lesion and tumors and mom got out yesterday, came down with infection but at the ends she is okay.

Hahaha I have to agree. I tend to make a full 12 hour day with no issues what so ever, but I do find that I like a darker screen, much easier for my eyes. Just a personal preference, and I did notice that my screen time on was seemed longer. I say seemed. I haven't gone into any in depth testing or anything like that. I guess it also depends on how often you use the phone too. But anything to help out the family I guess. :)

I've been doing some reading up on this Kernel, but I can only really find related stuff to the HTC sensation thread. Have you had any issues with your phone since flashing? From what I've read the lates r33 has some really bad battery drain issues. Previous builds to this had reboot issues. Have you experienced anything like this at all? I'm curious to try it out, but I'm also really happy with NEAK. Also if anyone else has tried this, what has your experience been?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] K-alz:
It said "for all AOSP" ROMs in the thread although it IS for the HTC phones. I've been only using it for a day and a half and zero issues so far with a perfect snappiness. Let me see in a couple of days what happens and I'll report back.

They mentioned "overclocking" in the thread, but I didn't see that option when installing it. Maybe I didn't know what to choose. It was too many options like you were flashing a ROM or something.

I know it's been said many times in this thread, but this Rom is absolutely amazing! I've never gotten more than 22 hours on a single charge with my stock battery and Rom. I can't imagine the hours, probably days I'd get if I used my Zerolemon battery.

I too have the sensor and backlight bug. I tried the Soft Key Light app from the market that was mentioned some pages back in combination with the Advance Settings addon. It works for awhile but then the light turns back on for a quick second or two or disables all together. Then I have to go back in and mess around with the settings of both and try to get the backlight back off. If anyone has another fix that I could try I'd sure love to hear it. As I don't like having the backlight on when I'm using the nav bar.
