I was really really disappointed in my B3 benchmark scores, after I overclocked to 1.2Ghz.

I was getting the exact same scores as on 2.0.1, and based on what I saw in the old thread I expected A LOT better. :-(

I had SetCPU on “performance” and everything! WTF?!

I was really bumming. Then started reading the ACS ROM thread and they were talking about using “on demand”. So, I gave it a shot.

WOOHOO!! :-D

2.0.1

Quadrant: 2057.8

Linkpack: ~14

Smartbench PI: 1151 GI: 2778

RL SQL: ~28.7 sec

3.0.0

Quadrant: 2469

Linkpack: ~16.5

Smartbench PI: 1327 GI: 2980

RL SQL: ~23.4 sec

I'm very happy now! Thank you Randy and Mammon!

I just thought I would share my "ah-ha!" moment with everyone.

CHEERS!

anyone has bizzard problem with speedtest? usually on the first trial of speedtest, the DL speed is -0. If i Test again, then it is ok.
[Epic 4G Android Development] p3dr0maz:
Case 1:

To reproduce this you are saying that you let the phone go to sleep but that it will automatically bring itself out of sleep mode on it's own w/o a lockscreen? And that it will stay awake indefinitely?

Case 2:

The only similar behavior I sometimes notice is that if the phone goes to sleep and I "manually" try to stop it from "lockscreening" by pressing the Power button immediately I will succeed and it will wake up before the lockscreen comes on. I am pretty sure I noticed this on DK28 too though not just EB13 so that's just normal M.O. for me AFAIK. After this my phone will continue to sleep normally at proper intervals.

Is your problem more like case 1 or 2?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
My Speedtests looks great: :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] huytrang90:
I use convervative and set 100-1.2g. My ave about same as yours.
[Epic 4G Android Development] p3dr0maz:
FWIW, I received the same scores as you with my SetCPU scaling option set to "conservative". Not sure what would happen if i tried "On-Demand".
[Epic 4G Android Development] formula84:
Case 1, but it will repeatedly attempt to sleep its blacks out for a fraction of a second and will then come right back on. Changing timeout same issue.

Note: I had this issue on Stock EB13, upgraded with EXE, twice, used ACS Frozen then Bonsai.... Problem persisted through all of them. Wondering if I have a hardware issue.

What is strange though that I posted was my time without sleeping 8hrs basically my phone did not sleep at all, guess thats why my batt was down to 5% after 8 hours of almost no use. (This is a bonsai only issue, or I should say this flash)

I was hoping others could chime in on there time without sleeping thats reported in spare parts at the end of the day.
[Epic 4G Android Development] huytrang90:
Bug? Xda problem?

To post picture from tapatalk-xda, it looks for Gallery. This ROM has no gallery. :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] p3dr0maz:
Is your SetCPU minimum set to 100mhz or 200mhz? I have read that putting it on anything less than 200 may or may not cause some sleep issues (more with it not coming out of sleep but thought id check anyways). I've had mine on 200 mhz and haven't noticed the behavior you're mentioning. Sorry man. I don't use spare parts so I can't tell you my time w/o sleeping numbers. Is there a way to get to that menu w/o using spare parts?
[Epic 4G Android Development] p3dr0maz:
LOL your speeds are insane over 3G... Tucson AZ server? Not sure why my test used an LA server even though i'm in Tempe/PHX. I wonder if I can manually pick which server to test with.

Oh man.its so smooth. I love it. Best version by far. Don't know bout battery cause I've been flashing and doing benchmarks. You all will love it. Trust me. Also all the proxys and ports have been reset so my 3g speed is fast. I don't know if this was done on 3.0.0 or not.

[Epic 4G Android Development] mrhocuspocus:
Ive always kept a close watch on my battery since i got this phone, and am curious why this new rom doesnt do as well on battery.

average battery comparison:

old bonsai - 10.5%/hr

v2.0.1 - 5.5% /hr

v2.0.1 w/genocide kernal 4%/hr

v3.0.0 8% /hr

what happened?
[Epic 4G Android Development] formula84:
Can you please check spare parts under battery usage and tell me what your running % is? If you click it it will tell you how many hours without sleeping.
[Epic 4G Android Development] p3dr0maz:
You can see a few posts back I posted my battery consumption screen shots. Once at 7.5 hrs and then again at 15 hrs.

5% average but like we say on XDA YMMV :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] mrhocuspocus:
I always thought there was logic built into the charging circuit that controlled the charging... but it must be something in the kernel bc my phone charges insanely fast now compared to what it use to do.

np

is wifi suppose to sleep? if so i guess thats the problem.

Ye i would prolly get 5% too if i didnt use my phone all the time (you said little/no use), all of my previously posted percents are with medium use, over an hour of talk time and an over an hour of internet/games average per day.
[Epic 4G Android Development] a2tz:
Hah I actually live in kansas!

I get about 1-1.5 meg down 6-800k up on 3g normally. Over wifi its as good as my computer pretty much.

Honestly with eb13 they are the best I've had so far.

[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
That is great! Is there anything else that you flashed in addition to B4A v3.0.0 or is there a setting that should be cleared or selected to gain such speeds. I actually just ran the speed test from home and only reached about 300kbps, which is about 100kbps more than what I was getting at work, but is still pretty bad.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
I went ahead and stopped all and any apps that may have been using my data connection, reran the speed test and finally got DL speeds of over 1mbps!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] p3dr0maz:
That's interesting. I don't have spare parts. I wonder if this is happening on all installs or if yours is bugged. Anyone else can check their wifi sleep on Spare Parts?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
I had this exact issue after converting to ext4 with cwm 3.0.0.6. Something gets corrupted in the Bluetooth settings durring the conversion process. I never could track it down. The only thing that fixed it was wiping data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nextelian:
I'm running the stock deoxed EB13 and I have nearly the exact same results on wifi awake time. It must be a 2.2 thing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
WiFi sleep policy is set to "Never" by default. It actually uses less battery this way.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
well my phone is screwed up so thats probably part of it, but are you saying wipe data cache and delvik before flashing bonsai? i thought that was redundant because it does it anyway.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Yes but then it restores your data during the install process. In your case, it's restoring corrupt data (at least for Bluetooth settings).

I had to wipe data and then install bonsai, which means I had to reinstall all my apps and restore some select data with Titanium.
[Epic 4G Android Development] yellowxboy:
i had the same issue with 2.0 bonsai (not the ROm's fault, it was my corrupt bt data). no matter how many times you wipe or format, if you do a "restore data" .. it brings back the corrupt data. I had to start over fresh and loaded all my stuff one by one. you can use Titanium, back up all your app data and reload them manually and skip the bt files.
[Epic 4G Android Development] huytrang90:
I think so. my friend stock phone only pulls about 90mA while mine is 400mA.
[Epic 4G Android Development] formula84:
Thanks, IDK WTF is wrong, Flashed EB13 stock no data it was fine, flash CWM3 root, its fine, ran it for a while not sleep issues and phone actually turns off and stays off on its own when not used without hitting power button. As soon as I flashed Bonsai problem repeats and flashed bonsai over again and repeats....

Now if the phone is plugged in the phone sleeps on its own without auto wake issue, once unplugged the problem begins. I wonder if its kernel related and somehow it only effects few users (or just one, lol)

Really weird guess im gonna need to stick with stock EB13 for now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Another option, if you have a know good Nandroid backup, you can advanced restore your data, then re-flash Bonsai.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
I am having the same issue with wifi never sleeping. I don't leave it on all day so it isn't a huge issue, but I wanted to confirm this is seen by multiple people.

It's not an issue. Your WiFi sleep policy is set to "Never".

Thanks for posting this... I use the Mash'em way all the time. On a side note you do not need to switch to a 3 finger grip.

I am able to use 3 types of VPN with no issue. L2TP/IPSec using a PSK and using a cert. I have also used PPTP with no issue.

As far as everyone having problems with FCs they kept on happening to me until I repaired using CWM rebooted repaired again than I cleared the delvik.

If people are still having issues with QuickPic it is simple to fix. Using Titanium Backup remove QuickPic. Reboot phone. Redownload QuickPic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
Have you tried Heimdall?
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
This ^. You want to leave it that way. If something is draining your battery, it isn't wifi. If wifi was causing the phone to not sleep, your "Running" would be close to 100%.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Mammon you are the man! First try at installation bricked my phone...my ROM was always flaky before. I Odin'd to EB13 Deodexed with CWM3 built in and had no problem after that. Took a minute to find missing Sprint apps but got them all back. I used Titanium to restore my settings and had my phone back up.

FINALLY I get Smartbench scores that clobber the stock Epic. I used to barely match it.

Thank you again!

These are the scores I have been getting on benchmarks. Any ideas on how to improve them? Each test was ran after a reboot and RAM clearing.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
Those are normal values for a phone that is not overclocked. A lot of these other scores (which people are neglecting to mention) are overclocked values.

They are the same people that will soon be posting "why is the battery life so bad on this ROM?"

:D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mjacobsen:
It looks like you aren't using SetCPU to hit 1.2G.

TIP: When you use SetCpu pick either "conservative" or "on demand scaling".

How are you measuring how many amps are being drawn from the charger?

Ive always been interested in this but the only thing Ive ever thought would work is if i cut up the charging wire and connected a amp meter.

Also were you and your friends batteries at the same charge level when you tested them? I could be wrong but, I think the phone draws different amounts of current depending on what percent of the battery its charging.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mjacobsen:
Randy,

There was talk over on Mystery's theme that you were taking a different approach to the CIQ issue from ACS.

EDIT: Mystery said that would likely break his theme.

Can you confirm whether your methods are the same or different?

In Windows, you can look for Device manager->USB Controller ->USB Root hub. You have to go through couple of them before you find the one that your phone plug in.

You may be right here. I don't remember exactly my battery level, but it must be above 70% while my friend is full.

Hey so I was having a few force close issues but a reinstall from the market fixed all those so try that especially with qickpics or what ever. I did have 2 problems that I couldn't find a solution too. First I would like to use Qik for video calls with my wife but I cannot get Qik to install properly it just closes all of the time. The rom is super smooth and fast and even though the proxys are still in place I get very nice data rates just as good if not better than 2.1 so great job, but for some reason when ever I open the market it is super slow, alot of the times it will give me a time out error and I have to try again and it will usually work but it is very slow. I dont know if this is a market issue or a rom issues let me know if anyone else is having this problem. Other than that great job on the rom I love it so far once I got it working haha took me forever though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] huytrang90:
This is already the simplest. Besides the major upgrade to EB13, I would say this is very easy.

I have always kept the latest version of Bonsai on my phone so if i messed up my phone thru trying out other mod, ie WifiTether, i can always flash it again. Then I am back to where I was before. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] asdfghjkl:
yea ive never had luck with it. It doesnt recognize my phone and im guessing from all the reading ive done its something with the secondary bootloader..
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrhocuspocus:
cant believe i never knew that..

my phone is at 94% and 96mA..

I think around 70% it wants the most current, Im curious to know if it ever ask for more than 500mA, for car charger purchasing reasons. Im sure it does though as it seems to take forever to charge from usb as opposed to wall socket.
[Epic 4G Android Development] i_guana:
Yep, same here. 90% of my apps FC. Even Titanium Backup ROOT. Launcher Pro also. My Phone was perfectly stable with the previous Bonsai and Genocide 0.2a. I was nervous about changing to EB13 and decided to wait until Bonsai released their version. Guess I should have waited longer. Why did this happen?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sndtubes:
Is anyone looking at the TV Out feature anymore?

As a side note, I want to give a big thanks to the team. I have tried most of the ROM's and have had issues with them. Then I tried the Bonsai ROM's and they've been a pleasure, including 3.0.0 Great job!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
To wipe or not to wipe...

From my perspective there are reasons to do either. My point of view is that it depends on what you have been doing with your Epic.

If you are the kind of person like me that likes to fiddle around with things and not keep good track of what you did, then it might be advisable to wipe or start off with a fresh ODIN install. However, if your not my kind of fiddler then you would probably be better off by just flashing Bonsai with what ever you got.

If you see an app or two that FC's then it is easily fixed with wiping that app's data and move on. If you install Bonsai and get tons of FC's then you are probably better off trying the wipe, wipe, wipe routine before going to the trouble of a fresh ODIN install. Alternatively, you *might* try resetting the permissions in the cwm advanced menu though from my experience it doesn't usually fix a disaster. ;)

Just my 2 pesos from lots of experience in flashing roms and being a Bonsai beta tester. Keep in mind the old adage of garbage in = garbage out. :D

Imho battery life is subjective thing. It all depends on usage and what you are using it for. Its also dependent on your charging habits. I personally just wednt through that isssue (got reamed by a good friend that i was charging wrong).

After finally getting both my batteries running correctly again was able to confirm my initial battery test on 3.0.0 .

Without OC I calculated 16.5+ hours battery life.

With OC I calculated ~12.5 hours battery life.

My test includes 90 mins of highly active use including navigation, videdo playback and gaming etc. and 90 mins of standby and calculates the average hourly drain from there. I do this to check for power leaks in standby or partial wake issues for the team and to simulate what is expected in real life scenarios, but your going to get different results. My results are the baseline.

I will test 3.0.1 for battery on final release for everyone. But I can say so far the next version appears to have better battery than 3.0.0.
