This will be my last post here for a while. I installed the new Shadow kernel optimized for a4 and now my GPS and wifi are superb. To those of you who insisted that it was not a kernel issue, either it was, or it's a coincidence, or it's a Mardi Gras miracle ;-). Happy Mardi Gras to all!

Cyanogen Mod 9.4, Shadow kernel, EI22. I like my Ice Cream Sandwich!

i have a fascinate so i cant keep up with everything going on here... but i flashed my friends epic to cm9 alpha 4... everything works except for the market... i can send apps to the phone using the google market website. but the market on the phone wont download anything.. ive tried clearing data and cache from the app... no luck.. anyone else having a similar problem that has found a fix?

Turned mine off + no more blinking (flashed alpha 4, then new gapps).

I have the same setup but only blinks when screen is off.
I still get texts from 9016 and it blinks when I get voicemails

Did you flash from here (recommended):
http://epiccm.blogspot.com/p/cm9-install-guide.html
or upstream?
i used that site... mirror 1 for the gapps
wonder if i could pull the vending.apk from my fascinate and make it work right?
im running 4.0.3
I have had bad downloads a few times from mirror 1 links. Try a different download source, i bet thats your problem.
Different hardware is a possibility. You should test it side by side with another Epic for a more accurate test of whether wifi is indeed worse signal or more accurate.

Alright so today I decided to do a test to see how my battery life would react.
During the morning, I played music for about an hour and 15 minutes on airplane mode, and I only lost about 10-15%.
However, just a while ago, I decided to play music NOT on airplane mode for only 17 minutes (yes, 17 lol), and my battery life went down 15%.
So what I'm wondering is, what is it about the signal that takes away an hour of battery? I'm on EH17 modem so some may argue that affects this test, but CM7 never gave me this big a different. In fact, it was roughly the same. I know the battery life on this isn't as good as CM7, and most likely never will be, but I'm curious if it's the signal that's really draining everyone's battery.

Download this app from market called, Network. It is by Philipp. Change to cdma auto. This setting doesn't stick so you might have to check every so often..

I think I've figured out the culprit, or least a major contributing factor in my battery woes.... CHROME browser. Using it for 10 minutes drains my battery literally almost 10% on 3g. I'm not sure if this is normal, or if anyone else can duplicate a similar result using the browser.
On separate but somewhat related note, is there a bug report about the screen flickering like crazy as it loads webpages? I get this flurry of horizontal dark lines as if it's trying to adjust brightness almost.

Alright. Just curious, what does that do exactly? Has this increased your battery performance?
Question that is probably * not * CM specific, but how do you all backup Swype properly to restore after flashing? I have the Swype installer, and I have a valid swype account (to redownload) after each flash, but is there an easier way to keep it as an apk to re-install?
Once again, sorry because I know this isn't CM specific. And yes, I have a VALID Swype account to download off the site. Not asking for the apk, I can extract if someone can give me a clue as to how. Thanks!
Alpha4 is running strong, and seems that it's better battery life (for me)!
Thanks to the CM team!

Your radio will be searching less for signal.. hence better battery

I downloaded online a blacked themed swype that worked perfect in cm7 and cm9a3. it should still be available just by searching through google.

Don't ever feel obligated to donate. That's not the intention.
It's an option for those that like to show gratitude by letting money talk.
Personally, I've always though of a thanks as more than adequate for doing something that we actually enjoy doing.
So thank you.15
