[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiwi187:
Charged to full on. Charged to full off. Cleared stats. Charged to full on. Then let it drain. Charged to full again, and I've used/charged it normally for several days now. Drain seems to be the same as its always been since I updated to EC05.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blazinazn:
Hard reset. If that doesn't fix the issue, take it in and get a replacement. I fooled with mine for 2 weeks and never could get it to last longer than 4-5 hours with light/moderate use. Stock/rooted, Toggling airplane, downloading screen filter to lower the brightness even more, nothing mattered.

No such issues with the replacement.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
You may be one of the rare unfortunate souls whom EC05 hates. Have you tried to Odin back to EB13 and see if your battery life is restored? I personally haven't seen any need for EC05 over EB13.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiwi187:
Tried hard reset last night. I'll wait a couple of days.

It's crossed my mind to flash back to DI18 or EB13. But then I'll miss out on all the custom roms that are now running EC05. :( Oh well....
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
Bonsai 4 and SyndicateFrozen 1.1.0 work just fine for me on EB13. No difference.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiwi187:
double post.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiwi187:
I thought that SFR1.1.0 and Twilight1.1.0 were based on EC05? How do I run SFR on EB13?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
I don't believe SyndicateFrozen automatically updates you to EC05. Nonetheless, you can simply Odin the EB13 modem back to your phone after flashing the ROM.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dchawk81:
Try stock EC05 and see if the problem is with SRF. Kill DRM, SNS, and Gallery. I've even frozen SystemUpdate. I drain 1% or less per hour on pure idle.

And SRF zealots, back off. I'm basing it on good ol' trial and error plus personal experience.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatoniss:
Im having the same issues. I went back to stock then flashed back up ACS 1.1.0. I flashed genocide kernel as well. the battery isn't as bad and i resorted to using autokiller set to aggressive. Most of the time its fine but it still will go back to a 50% wakelock. when this happens usually under sensor usage android system is 50% or 100%. When its 100% my phone will get warm. The only time i noticed this really happening was sometime after i got a replacement phone. Do you think its hardware related. It doesn't make sense to me. This morning my first 10% of battery lasted about 3 hours then the wake lock kicked in and it started to drop very fast. I used to make 14 hours of heavy use with this phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiwi187:
Finally flashed back to DI18 tonite. Gonna recalibrate the phone/battery and do some more testing.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] socos25:
I would run Spare parts and see what is eatting up all the battery.

I've run into two issues over the last few months:

1. Gallery doesn't release the sensors for some reason.

2. Phone won't sleep. Even when the screen is off.

On occasion I have to reboot my phone if I notice the battery draining fast and it stops, but really haven't come up with a reason. I don't use the stock gallery any more, I sue Qic pic.

Regularly get around 29-30 hours with 2.5 hours of screen on time.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatoniss:
Wow that battery life is amazing. I can't seem to get that anymore.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiwi187:
Just to point out, this problem started with stock ec05.

I checked with spare parts. There was nothing out of the ordinary. No wake locks, excessive network usage, or sensor usage by gallery3d. CPU spy was showing my CPU in Deep Sleep 80-90% of the time.

I did notice that the battery seemed to drain the fastest when either using a (non-idle) 4G data connection, or if I was on the phone talking (4G off).

Flashed back to DI18 a day and a half ago, rooted, and removed the sprint crap. Been having a hard time draining my 2800 battery with moderate usage, so it looks as if my battery drain is back to what it was before the EC05 update. Only problem is that the stock DI18 email app will no longer sync to my works Exchange. Dunno whats up with that. Been using touchdown trial instead.

I'm going to test for a couple of days, and then flash up to EB13 and test some more. Maybe its the EC05 modem?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0nane:
I came here to post exactly this - it's probably the EC05 modem. Odin the EB13 modem and your problems will likely go away.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neckberg:
Alright I have been having reception issues and bad battery life, and after reading this thread I think that is my problem.

I am running SFR 1.1.0 and Vision 1.1.0 kernel oc to 1.3 setcpu on demand, on EC05.

So I assume I just use odin and flash the EB13 modem, nothing has to be wiped and backed up?

Also, just noticed my gallery also keeps the sensors on, is there a fix for this?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiwi187:
Uninstall Gallery, and install QuickPic. I've actually found quickpic to have much better image quality than the gallery.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0nane:
Correct, no need to wipe anything, just flash the modem. As for Gallery, delete it from /system/app and install another app of your choice, like QuickPic.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatoniss:
Im actually on the dk28 modem. Tried eb13, might try again. I fixed the wake lock but battery still drains sometimes. I'll just try and see I guess.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiwi187:
So had good battery life with DI18.

Flashed back to SRF1.1.0/Twilight1.1.0 and using the EB13 modem. We'll see how things go this time.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blankrubber:
Please let us know. I'm on EC05 and am going to Odin to EB13 to see if battery life increases. Mine just doesn't seem up to par with what it used to be before upgrading a while back.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiwi187:
So it looks like I got most of my battery life back. Its still not quite as good, but not as bad as before.

Using my 2800 battey;

Im using SRF1.1.0/Twilight 1.1.0 with the EB13 modem. I went back to switching my screen brightness from auto to min, and just trained myself to get used to using the notification swipe to change brightness. I also set SetCPU to 100-1000 on demand, with a profile of 100-400 on demand for screen off. I tried conservative, but I would occasionally have freeze ups for a few seconds.

Left my phone idle for 24 hours by chance (one or two voice calls, etc), and only lost about 10% battery life. The display is now my biggest battery drain like before with DI18.

I'm going to try the stock battery again just for comparison.

Turn mute button on, and press power and vol down. Then you can see a single line stating "fastbook mode".

OK, Let the Custom ROM buidling begins!:D
[Dell Venue] rockmen1:
The bad news is, it does not expose a bootloader device to the OS and I had my phone bricked when trying to find some more within the engineering menu.

Sprint must have found the problem. As of this morning reports are flooding in with phones getting "No PRL update available" messages instead of errors. No error on Firmware or Profile update check either.

I was heading to the store for a replacement this morning! Instead spent 20 minutes rerooting and flashing ROM.

Do you BONSAI?

That problem is random. Some people have it, some people don't. I know I have had the problem at times, and at other times, it works perfectly. I am guessing there will come a time when you get the error again, and then it will go away like mine and repeat the process.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s84471:
Profile update went through for me, and PRL update just told me that no update was available.

Woohoo, guess they finally fixed it!

[Samsung Mesmerize] getosquirrel:
Great work man!!!

How bout adding three button method and download mode?
[Samsung Mesmerize] ChromWolf:
Adding. :D
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
Just a little addition to the 3 button method, it works best if you hold all 3 buttons until you see samsung, then drop your thumb down to just holding volume down the rest of the way(if holding with the hand placed on the back of the phone palm facing you, thumb on volume side and forefinger on power). sometimes it's easier to do with the back case off (makes the buttons more exposed)
[Samsung Mesmerize] ChromWolf:
I can certainly agree on it being easier with the case off, but I've not had any troubles just holding both Volume Up and Volume Down... Maybe I just have big hands though. :P :) The process you're describing seems more of a 2-button method though. Does it rely on enough pressure being applied to the Volume Down button such that the Volume Up button is still being pressed down, or is it more that you've already hit it for long enough into the process that it doesn't need to be held down anymore?

Sounds like at the very least, I need to update to say it can take a few attempts, make sure you're pressing hard enough for both buttons, and how to properly hold the phone. How have other people fared?
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
When I first tried getting my phone into recovery by holding all 3 buttons the whole time, it wouldn't work - so I asked around and the instruction I posted is what was given to me to assist - and it worked like a charm. Since then - it's second nature for me to do it this way - but if others aren't haven't issues then maybe there isn't a need to reference it :)

And to answer your question no, the pressure is on both volume up and down (and power) 3 button, then once the samsung screen comes up i slide the thumb down to only holding down - that is what works 100% of the time for me.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Mopuzi:
Sweet .....
[Samsung Mesmerize] butcher1966:
BootLoader ?
[Samsung Mesmerize] ChromWolf:
I definitely need to do an update again for 3-button, Bootloader, and EC01 Radio. Maybe sometime tonight if reflashing my phone doesn't take too long. Thanks for the suggestion, butcher1966!
[Samsung Mesmerize] ChromWolf:
Finally had a chance to update the Glossary; added Bootloader and EC01 radio, as well as updating a few terms like Three Button Method and MIUI, and also a few minor cleanups.

[Samsung Mesmerize] butcher1966:
How about the new AmendtoEdify and thenewer red cwm?
[Samsung Mesmerize] ChromWolf:
Sorry I haven't gotten back to this sooner! I've had my head buried in MIUI builds (which haven't gotten anywhere thus far)...

I can definitely update the CWM entry, and should also note that themed CWM recoveries are available (I'm rocking the H57 green recovery, because green is cool).

I'm unsure if I should include Amend-to-Edify though; that's something only an advanced user would really need to care about, and this is really more geared towards "advanced beginners"... That said, I dislike the idea of just arbitrarily excluding information based on my own judgments of its validity to the target audience, so I think I'll open this one up to the floor: For those still watching, do you think the intelligent-but-not-yet-experienced user should know what Amend-to-Edify is?
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
If you were to add it I think it should go into a section labeled advanced with a label saying if you don't know what amend and edify and cannot fix a bricked phone. This may not be for you. As someone who does tech support there are times that you should withhold info. So really its up to you. I don't think it would hurt but then again I don't know the possible worse case scenarios from someone like me experimenting with it as well as don't want to see a influx of post to fix things that really should have never been broke in the first place. That goes back to if you cannot fix a bricked phone this is not for you deal.

Anyway those are my thoughts on it.

Tap-a-Talked
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
I think Amend and Edify should be included but only in the basic form of explaining that Amend is outdated scripting that only works on CWM 2.whatever and that Edify will work on all current forms of CWM.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ChromWolf:
Heh, before I saw akellar's post, I had already gone ahead and added Amend and Edify for that very reason, as well as cleaned up some older entries related to CWM since we now have 3.0.x. Based on this initial feedback, I think I'll exclude "Amend-to-Edify", since I think before long it won't really matter much anyway, everyone will have switched over, and that the "Advanced Beginner" will likely never even need to use such a tool. Heck, I've all but defined it in this post alone.

I may also shorten the full entry for sFc at some point since it's retired (it would get skimmed back down to just a simple entry, rather than a whole ROM explanation), but I'll wait a bit longer on that.
[Samsung Mesmerize] butcher1966:
Got one for ya. How about "kang"?
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
Kang normally means to reproduce someone else's work without giving credit to them, however nowadays it seems it has become moreso used even if credit is given, but rather as slang for doing minimal edits to someone else's work to make it work on other firmware.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ChromWolf:
Still, worthy of addition I'd say.

I need to actually update several entries, but I won't be able to get to it right at the moment (possibly tonight, we'll see). A lot of ROMs have come out since I've touched it, and one or two are deprecated. I'll try to update soon.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ChromWolf:
Cleaned up a few entries, modified them to bring them up to date, but not done--note that I'm still missing a few things (I haven't added CM7 yet!), and need to correct a few things, but didn't have time at the moment.

yup, it was working fine on SGS i9000 but doesn't work well on SNS i9020

[LG Optimus 2x] Naadi900:
I guess you have the correct cable (type D micro HDMI 1.4)?

You probably got one in the box..

Maybe check you have the correct resolution set (either on manual or automatic) in the HDMI Settings.

With me it worked instantly, like a breeze.

Maybe find someone with another O2X and check if that works, check different screens/tv's etc.

If that all fails I'd say you're screwed and have a broken device. Let's hope not!
[LG Optimus 2x] Jeffrey5088:
Need help!

Well, recently I have bought this baby, have been using it for over 2 weeks' plus.

Lovin' every part of it.

BUT, issue came out when I tried to connect my O2X to my 38" Sharp LCD TV via the provided HDMI cable.

It went well at the first place. (I was trying to play with its HDMI mirroring features)

I tried browsing the web.

Executed few videos.

Tried few of the games too. As I was having fun playing with the games with gyros.

Suddenly the TV flickered with few green lines and then went blank. So i was thinking that maybe the cable gone loose or whatsoever.

I unplugged and plugged back in. Nothing happens.

So i tried HDMI 2 on my TV, it works for a while, but not over 5 or 10 minutes it went blank again!

I plugged it back to HDMI 1, nothing happens.

Is this a faulty HDMI cable or it's my LCD? I'm using stock rom by the way.

Desperately need some advices~ =(

Up to you but you said you can't use any custom Sense ROMs so you'll need to use an RUU to go back to stock. Was your phone branded when you got it? If you did things properly you should already have made a note of your original FW on your unit and have the right RUU for your handset
