Maps is killing my battery on MF9 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I updated to MF9 last night, and while I love the smoothness of the rom, the battery life is not as good as MDL. For some reason, Maps is using a bunch more battery than it used to. Has anyone else experienced this?

Did you disable "Report My Location" in the app settings?

I'm pretty sure the kernel isn't the same. After updating to the MF9 firmware, but before flashing the MF9 ROM and kernel, my wifi was broke and I believe mobile data as well. Wifi would turn off immediately when I tried to turn it on. But after flashing the ROM and kernel it worked flawlessly. This is the same as what people reported going to MDL. If the kernel didn't change at all then the MDL kernel would work with the MF9 firmware.

I must be doing something wrong. It actually slowed down upload speeds. Is there a setting or something that I'm not aware of that I need to change?

Flashed this yesterday and I didnt notice any difference in signal. If anything, i think its draining my battery faster.
If you are getting slower speeds or battery drain I would update prl and wipe cache and batt stats.

Anyone have a link to the EC05 modem? I searched for it and could not find it. When updating my Bonsai ROM the modem did not update from the EB13.

Each person has their own opinion, but I would recommend you try pershoot's CM10 builds.
Agreed. Tho, im behind sched Seeing how the last build was november, i just flashed the most recent (and last) cm10 rom and everything went smooooth. I havent noticed a bug yet and its super fast and it looks amazing. Make sure if u flash this rom you flash the google apps too so you can get the play store.

Sounds like you are using an old cm10 release as both cameras have been working in cm10 for a while now.
I'd suggest getting the latest nightly from download.cyanogenmod.org.
These latest releases also have the joys of OTA updates under settings -> about tablet - which makes future updates much easier

*#*#4636#*#* you can find CDMA only and other types of CDMA there and I heard that S GS3 has the ability to run both CDMA and GSM. Your settings are wrong you just need to fix them

Edit: tried dialing that and it just says welcome to Verizon wireless nothing seems to be going my way haha

Currently running ricks rom when I go to access my test menu to change from CDMA to GSM it says menu unavailable so I'm guessing I'll just Odin back to stock again and see if I can fix the problem from there

After hours of trying I finally got into my settings after using Odin to go back to stock and reflashing the kk leak as far as I can see my settings are fine and no one else is experiencing this problem on stock 4.3 I have 4g but after flashing any rom I lose it

Were you able to pull the zip file?
im going to go with you got that message due to flashing a 4.4.3 rom then going back to a 4.4.2. rom. im pretty sure when you get a real update it always says are you ready to update to kit kat 4.4.3 or something like that. but i could be wrong. this is just going off of memory, and the fact that you look like you have a custom rom on the phone.

When you looked in cache did you use Root Explorer or Root Browser?

I'm going with that also since i don"t see anything inside the cache folder and indeed i was returning from liquids official KK 4.4.3 build. But since i have been going from AOSP custom roms almost every week I never got this until now. I did read about this bug in CM though. Sorry guys false alarm.

Setup Odin on your PC, download the correct tar for your device from www.sammobile.com, flash tar to phone in Download Mode.
