Re: [ROM][EPIC 4G][CM9] CM9: CyanogenMod v 9.0.0-BETA-4

I seem to be getting alot of time without service after flashing this. Last couple times I've checked, it's been 10% or more - up to 14%. There is no difference in where I've been spending my time. Just normal workdays.

I loaded the boot from sd card utility and updated my prl, but it said none was available.

The rom isn't going to change your signal strength. More than likely Sprint is working on it's network. They are actively trying to upgrade all their towers as of recently.

You might be onto something with the "time without service". When I'm on CM9 (or any other ICS rom), I will miss calls. No notification that a call came in and was missed, just suddenly get a VM notification. If I look at the logs on GV, it shows that there are a lot more instances of missed calls, none of which ever made it to the phone. I have good voice service at home (we'll leave data out of this), and never have a missed call that didn't get to the phone otherwise. I've noticed ~25% TWOS pretty consistently. This has been on each of the CM9 betas. I am running the FC09 baseband, installed via ODIN as part of the official ROM Tar File, I have also tried the old stock file in the recovery thread, and let the OTA update to FC09 rom/modem.

I installed this rom and spent the day going thru it and customizing it etc etc. I really want to like it but these issues prevent me...

-I cannot start the camera from inside an mms "capture video" crashes the camera app

-I am not able to send any video mail from videos created by the camera. I get exceeded message limit failed to send mms, doesnt matter the resolution or the length of the video

-The camera does not have an "MMS mode" to make videos

-There is no way to bulk create playlists in the apollo music player or select from a list of songs. You have to long press individual songs and select add to playlist. This isn't a deal breaker but a PITA. The workaround is 3rd party app.

-If you install visual voicemail installed you will get a 9016 sms every time you get a voicemail.

I searched and searched but could find a solution to the MMS and camera issues.

Anyone have comments on the MMS/camera issues?

You might be onto something with the "time without service".

It seems like I did better today. I did boot from the SD to the stack version and updated the PRL. it said no update was available, but today my time without signal was 0%. Weird.

Something else, I screwed around with CM9 in the first place (and rooted) because of te battery life on an epic 4g. I measured this by my $1.99 battery spy app, which draws these fancy graphs and shows you how quickly your battery is dying. I swear that thing always reported that I was discharging at over 10% hour - minimum.

Well, today I killed the app and the service and drove for 3 hours down country roads across the state through a bunch of cornfields and dairy farms it only went down 3% that whole time.

Battery spy sucks - literally. It sucks your battery dry.

Live and learn.

Since I have this settled down, I need to figure out why I can't wifi tether my wife's galaxy tab2 to this thing.

Welcome to the forum taborcarn...............your custom ROM: good choice!

 

[taborcarn]

Thanks! It should breathe some new life into my epic until I'm ready to move on. I'm still customizing it but I really like the rom so far.

.....no worries! As indicated in the post above (you'll have to click the links), the CyanogenMod Project will continue to support the og EPIC for the foreseeable future.....as will the EPIC CM Team, who will be supporting not only our EPIC but also several other devices, including the SGSIII.......................speaking of which, been playing w/ the SGSIII since Thursday, + I can say it's a pretty frisky device.....................that said, I plan to continue rocking the og EPIC4G thru January 2013 --at least-- as that is when the contract renews; ITMT, these RC's + Nightly Builds will be getting us closer to Official by the week! How awesome is that!?!

Yeah, that bug is from the 'greatest hits' catalog of most common issues affecting a good number of android devices, the Epic4G included

Go to the EPIC CM Blog's Customization Guide where you'll find a great fix using a temporary 'kexec' technique, as well as a number of other great tricks! Here's the link:

Sounds like the bug will be fixed with the CM9 update. Thanks for the link, I'll probably just wait until the next update.

Re: [ROM][EPIC 4G][CM9] CM9: CyanogenMod v 9.0.0- RC1

decided not to run the fix, huh?

ITMT, check your settings to make sure the display is set on 'auto-rotate screen,' in case you haven't done so already.

Its been a great run with my Epic 4G THANKS to CM9 and these threads! Can't say enough how much I've appreciated your help and everyone else who has chimed in these threads! I am currently waiting for my SGS3 and hope to see all of you in those threads! I will still be looking through these threads as I FULLY intend to keep my trusty Epic 4G up to date with CM9. It will now become my backup smartphone for the foreseeable future

This rom is incredible. I picked the right time to get into the rom game, this is a crazy huge improvement in terms of OS performance over stock android!!!!!

Re: [ROM][EPIC 4G][CM9] CM9: CyanogenMod v 9.0.0- RC1

I am updating right now. I think the problems I had with beta 4 were config things. I did have to boot to the stock image on the SD and update my prl. I dicked around for days trying to get the wifi tether app to work, not realizing that the functionality is built in and I don't need that app anymore. That has been nice because I've had no electricity since the storm on Friday evening.

Update:

Hmm. It was a pretty seamless upgrade. I can't tell if it changed at all except for the boot animation has a different guy. If I look at the build info, where does it show this version? What should it say?
