- Smoothness

- gps works

- radio works flawlessly (I'm using ec05 modem.)

- when unplugging aux cable while playing music w/ stock music player, it stops music.

- LED notification light is working now.

- Removal of Clear level 2 RAM so newbies don't break anything. :p

Netflix IS working!
[Epic 4G General] nimaim:
This update might now keep Epic users from throwing their phones out the window :D
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
Or keep them from jumping ship so soon! :D

Op did you try the EF02 or EF10 Modem?
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
Audio has been completely scratch/stutter free, even with voodoo audio on so far. That alone makes me love this update.
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
Might the bluetooth routing bugs (where all audio comes out of the ear speaker after disconnecting) be fixed too?

But THAT is wonderful news and what I was hoping for. I have had way too much trouble making my Epic a reliable media player which can multitask, and it's Touchwiz bugs taking most of the blame for the stuttering, in my experience. Has the stock music player changed at all? They did away with some features from the Eclair one which were actually better, which I didn't appreciate...
[Epic 4G General] wj0t:
Ffc still sideways while video chatting?
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
Looks like it's the same one as Froyo. I use Poweramp so rarely ever touch the stock player.
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
Thanks. Now can you or someone else test the bluetooth routing? (To test, play something through stereo BT, then switch to voice headset mode on another device by placing or taking a call, then see after you disconnect both devices if media audio is routed incorrectly through the phone ear speaker like it is in Froyo.)
[Epic 4G General] jfharden:
Audio is routed correctly. I just played Pandora in my car over Bluetooth for about 30 min, placed a couple of calls over Bluetooth, and then placed a call when I got home. All worked great!

Noticing a SEVERE battery drain when in a dead area (searching for signal constantly). At 15% and made one phone call for 1 minute in a period of 7 hours.
[Epic 4G General] monke30butt:
Has anyone tested to see if the FM radio works with EF02?

There were reports of some people had it working under EE03.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
I'll test it right now.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
I tried but couldn't get it to scan any channels. Feel free to try it yourself. Flashable zip right here.
[Epic 4G General] RSPC:
No FM radio for me.

My LED notification light is working now.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
Almost forgot about that, added to OP.
[Epic 4G General] Zor Omega:
Was that with the Ec05 modem or the ef02 modem? I get fairly bad battery drain while at work. From the reports that I've heard, it sounds like the ef02 modem has greatly increased signal strength.

[Epic 4G General] blu9987:
What FM Radio are you using?

Im using the one from ee03 swiss samprint acs thread and it still says "unable to turn on FM radio"

Other than that this rom is pretty smooth so far.
[Epic 4G General] xTmDarren:
Keep us updated on the battery.. if you report back later today with good results ill be updating..
[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
Seems to work wll for me on this but not whle doing cpu intensive tasks then it drps really bad. Lookin back it droped a couple right here

[Epic 4G General] wannabesean1123:
it's dropping keys here and there for me too, as xopher noted, it seems to be worse when you are running CPU intensive tasks.
[Epic 4G General] worldwidepmp:
I'm stunned at how good my battery is on this ROM considering how fast I jumped off EE03 when my battery died in 5 hours.
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
I get that sever battery drain with EC05 and every other Froyo rom Ive used. Searching for singal constantly in the biggest battery drain Ive ever had with this phone. Juice Defender helps out a lot.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
Hmm, I've been on Froyo EC05 and had my phone @ work often, but the drain wasn't ever this bad (lowest it got while @ work on FroYo must've been 45%?)
[Epic 4G General] taylortr:
Thanks for the updated netflix!
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
I just flashed EF02Plus, so I gotta grab myself another Netflix copy!
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
I just gotta say, I don't like the new version of Swype. I tried swyping "lololol" to a friend, and it came up with 'Outlook'. LOL Not only that, but I was entering my Netflix account information (smartpuzzler is my login) and it changed it to inquisitive???

Moved onto SwiftKey X Beta (Phone) from market and I'm in love now. :D
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Exactly some of the reasons why I hate virtual keyboards...as long as swype works for yes no maybe, etc then I am good as that is all I use it for. The A.D.D. kicks in for anything more and the real keyboard comes out.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
I actually got the Epic over the EVO because I was going to game a lot and thought the keyboard would be good for mapping keys, but turns out I NEVER slide open the keyboard other than to get into download mode.

I really like Swype just for looks, I never actually swype long sentences, I just use it tapping one letter at a time. But the new swype's space bar is smaller and I bump buttons more often.
[Epic 4G General] tigerknight:
Is this the gsm radio searching (when it has no gsm hardware) bug that I asked about earlier - and got no response on? Put it in airplane mode for a minute and then back to normal and see if that helps.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
gsm radio? I suppose it is possible, sine their Gingerbread is (probably) ported from their UK counterparts.
[Epic 4G General] jUgGsY:
You know that you can add custom words to the new swype's dictionary by typing it out, tapping the word you typed out where it appears in the suggestion box, and then an option will popup in the word suggestion box saying, "Add 'smartpuzzler' to dictionary"

Should then become a swype-able word. :)

You can also turn off the auto correction it fails at.. But I really like this new Swype.. The new suggestion box is soooooooo much better then the one in 2.X.x

Lololol (Swyped) ;)
[Epic 4G General] tigerknight:
I don't know the technical details behind it, but that was the explanation given for the 'time without signal' killing batteries on the epic all the time in a different thread a while back. I was on sprint signal all day, yet it had battery use being upwards of 80% 'time without signal'. When the phone boots, it would waste time and energy trying to find a gsm signal - the workaround was to go into airplane mode and back out - after which point in almost a week of phone up-time I had maybe 2-5% time without signal.

I was hoping this would get fixed in gingerbread like it is in a bunch of the custom roms, but from some of the battery drain complaints it doesn't seem like it. Since I run (always have and always will) a stock phone I guess I will just have to keep with my boot-up airplane mode flip habits.
[Epic 4G General] prowlex:
hmmm... fm?

I dont understand why its so difficult for someone to unlock the fm radio. I really really need it. Nothing that people claim would work has worked yet. Meh...
[Epic 4G General] tigerknight:
I'm curious.. why is the FM radio such a huge critical need?
[Epic 4G General] setox:
because its something that is meant to work but doesn't like if u bought a car and u know it can do 140mph and the idiots that programmed the car only allow you to top off at 70mph u want all the features to work to its fullest
[Epic 4G General] Blackhawk163:
I'd like to know this as well. Then again I use tunein Pro.
[Epic 4G General] Darkshneider:
The Epic was never said to have FM radio. Its something that popped up from GB leaks and very few people have working.
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Turn animations to all
[Epic 4G General] tigerknight:
+1 - nowhere in the uses/functions for the epic has it EVER said 'use it like an FM radio!'
[Epic 4G General] monke30butt:
The FM radio is not critical, just a huge plus. I use Pandora & Tune-in as well. Pandora is not bad as long as you are in good coverage area. But Tunein will wipe out a fresh battery in less than 3 hours, I can get 5-6 hrs with Pandora. The reason I would like to see it work is that the hardware is there & I spend a lot of time with little or no signal, at least too weak to even run Pandora much less Tunein. It would just be a realy nice feature to have. My wife's EVO Shift has the FM tuner active & it works really good.

Thanks Guys.......
[Epic 4G General] houkah:
Add one more to the awesome battery column. While i haven't been using my phone for all that much (light browsing, texting, checking maps/weather) I'm currently sitting at 73% battery remaining after 16 hours. Roughly 40 mins of screen on time. GPS and bluetooth on the entire time. Phone usage is so low because much of the time came from idling while i slept.
[Epic 4G General] Blackhawk163:
another +1 to the Battery being more efficient. Talked text'd a bit yesterday quite a bit yesterday, with ee03 the battery would have been down to 50%, and would have been dead by sundown. This new fw/modem had my battery at 90% in the same time. I'm impressed.
[Epic 4G General] Digitaltigre:
The google music beta app streams music from the cloud in this leak. I could not get it to work in EE03 as it would just force close. It also would not play in the browser on EEE03 but does now.

Any help ??? :o
[HD2 General] greq333:
Hello everyone,

I have a problem with my HD2, and Yes, I've read other "unstable HD2" topics.

However my problem is quite different.

My HD2 is unstable on any OS or ROM.

I've used some Polish roms, then Cruzers.

I found Cruzer 5 most stable, however I still had to reflash radio from time to time, and do hard reset quarterly to maintain stability (no OS modification, hacks or any other "funny" business meantime), stock OS's seemed stable at first, but then proved otherwise.

Now with m$ MyPhone closure I've decided to jump onto android as I've bought a PNA for Navigation.

I'm using Magldr + HyperDroid CM7 HeadyHoneyBadger and it seemed stable for quite some time.

Now just out of nowhere it begins to crash all the time, with no activity from me at all.

Installed additional programs, tested each one on aspect of stability, and none proved faulty:

- Eset Mobile Antivirus

- XConstruct

- 3g watchdog

- Goweather

- AndFTP

- Transdroid

- ConnectBot

- FLashplayer

- TitaniumBackup

- Make Your own clock widget

- TuneIn Radio

- Skype

- Dialer One

- Google SkyMap

- Google Maps with modded Navi

- Bluetooth File Transfer

- ASTRO File Manager

- RockPlayer Lite

- Robo Defense FREE

- Allegro

- MoboPlayer

- Minimal Reader

- CalWidget

- Battery Calibration

- Barcode Scanner

- Adobe® Reader®

- Shazam

Is there any hope for me?

Could You advise me anything?

Thank You for any responses,

GreQ
[HD2 General] TheATHEiST:
You need to do a clean install.

This means completley wiping both the NAND and SDCard.

Format SDCard with Panasonic SDFormatter....

Format: FULL+Overwrite

Size Adjustment: ON

Clean Install..

Get the HD2 Tools in the sticky thread in Android NAND section

Put phone into bootloader - Use Task29

Put phone into bootloader - Install MAGLDR

Then you will need to choose the appropriate CWM partition for the rom, check the thread for details or use the DFT flasher if it comes with one.

If this doesn't solve it you will likely need to get a new/different card.
[HD2 General] greq333:
TheATHEiST, Thank You for answering.

I've done those steps before doing an clean install of HyperDroid.

When I was testing those programs - if they're at fault or not I was doing clean install every time - it took a larger part of my life :)

My SD card is really slow, however I don't use EXT on SD, I have no EXT at all, may that be the cause?

If SD is faulty, would my HD2 benefit from better/faster card?
[HD2 General] jsmccabe78:
what exactly is unstable? can you give more details?
[HD2 General] greq333:
Thanks for answering jsmccabe78.

Most things in android FC after some time, or at the start, or even don't start at all.

On windows apps hang, close, sense doesn't want to boot up.

Yesterday when I thought I had a while until some total reflash I've tried to do backup via ClockWorkMod, and then even Magldr and CWM started hanging, now phone won't boot.

Doing total reflash, let's see if that helps... again..

It didn't help this time...

GAPPS, Framework crash all the time.

Radio 15.50 , HSPL 2.08, fresh MAGLDR.
[HD2 General] greq333:
Reflashed everything 2 times now, every time different app starts to malfunction...

.12. Radio seems to improve stability.
[HD2 General] jsmccabe78:
strange. often when things are bad on different os on one machine, hardware seems to be the culprit. but seems like you have a ghost in the machine!

i want to re-iterate what theatheist said.

clean install. i mean clean.

task 29 (tho not sure how useful)

flash back to wm

reformat sdcard - so everything is deleted and it is like it is squeaky new.

then try a rom.

if still weird, try a new sdcard.

sorry, if after completely cleaning / new sdcard/ etc. still with problems, is likely hardware. but i am by no means the end all of knowledge on this!
[HD2 General] greq333:
Thanks again for reply.

This time, when I wrote about .12. radio I've done this:

- task 29

- flash original 3.14 rom

- task 29

- magldr

- cwm

- cwm -> install HyperDroid

And for now it's about 48hr without any major hang, however CalWidget still hangs on occasion.

Nothing left for me but to wait for quad-core device with qwerty.
[HD2 General] jsmccabe78:
1- is this the first time you did task 29?

2- did your re-formate your sd card?

curious about #1.

if problems arise, do #2. (what's to lose?)

good luck until the dream phone comes out. ha! cheers, mate. good luck.
[HD2 General] greq333:
1. I've been doing Task29 all the time :) , I do it every time I need to touch ROM :)

2. I did :)
[HD2 General] jsmccabe78:
well fingers crossed. i don't know anything more than what you have done. really.

best of luck!
[HD2 General] kccode1:
After you have done a clean install as others have posted, and you still have the problem. You might try a new SIM card. I have seen some bad ones causing lockups.
[HD2 General] pepi83:
hi,

i´ve many problems with my device.... i tested many many roms of android and wp7 too...

problems are freezes and reboots in every rom... in different roms i have no internet connection or if a call arrives the phone freezes and a robot sound appears...??? sometimes i started the browser and the device reboot...

the next is... the original winmob6.5 stockrom has the same problems... but not too much like android or wp7....

did anyone have an idea...

P.S. i´ve tested 3 different sd cards

thanks

Does the A500 have DLNA? I read one a foriegn website that it does but can't confirm that on the US Staples site or US ACER site. Thank you.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
Do you mean DLNA server or DLNA client? It does have a client, and I understood that there is a server available, too, if it's not installed out-of-the-box.
[Acer Iconia A500] xendrome:
It does, however it plays just about 0 formats of media...
[Acer Iconia A500] kjr2:
Thanks you for the response. As far as client vs. server I don't know. I'm not to hip on the tech stuff.

What I had in mind was getting this audio receiver .... and using the A500 to play my mp3s on it. I was going to use the dock or something like this wire .... out of the headphone port and just leave the tablet by the stereo.

I had already set my mind on this reveiver then noticed it was DLNA. If I could finagle a way play them without wires so I could control it from the couch that would be icing on the cake.
[Acer Iconia A500] kjr2:
It won't let me post links but the receiver is Onkyo TX-8050 network home stereo receiver
[Acer Iconia A500] kjr2:
Just about 0 formats? Do you know if mp3s are one of the few supported formats?
[Acer Iconia A500] HenrikPalm:
Maybe you should consider something like the MSI FS310 a2dp bluetooth audio receiver. You connect it to the audio input on your stereo, then pair the MSI device with your phone, tablet, computer or whatever and you play music through your stereo like if it was a wireless headset.

edit: the a500 supports mp3's, I think (since you didn't specify at first) he was talking about video formats, but I could be wrong.

[General Questions and Answers] Zehlek:
I am interested in the new HTC Sensation with Sense 3.0 but if I do I will have to wait a long time for Icecreamsandwich 2.4. I have a Nexus S so if I stick with that I will get 2.4. What would you think is the better choice?
[General Questions and Answers] Serious_Beans:
Depends really, are you doing anything on your phone that is stressing your phones single core to the point where you can't handle it because it's too slow? If not stick with the Nexus because stock Android is always better than Sense imo, because Sense just hogs resources. I'd stick with the Nexus because not much benefit from a dual core and 768mb of ram.

[General Accessories] sgaznabi:
I had been looking for one about a month ago, i came across a couple forums saying android cant actually use (iphone like)physical buttons because there's no place for it in the OS(something similar to that). Anywho, dont quote me i'm only a noob(and this is my 1st post).

But i ended up buying

thecellguru.com/Products/28106

and

newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875979005

, both of which are pretty good. The alteclansing one is better, but if too much bass is a problem for you, i would suggest the former. Both have physical buttons, press for play/pause/answer, long press for endcall, double press for next track.

Hope this helped

Skull Candy may have some like the kind you are looking for.

A few years ago when I owned my BlackBerry, I had a pair of Skull Candy headphones that allowed me to answer calls, skip songs, and adjust the volume.

It's been a few years, but it is a possibility that they still make some like that.

Sent from my Inc using Nil's Business Gingersense. Now that's Incredible.
[General Accessories] neodesco:
I use the Klipsh S4i

And they are pretty fine. The sound's quality is fairly good for headsets that price.

You also have controls which are fully operational with an iphone. For android devices, you can use the lecture, pause, next and previous song, answer calls. But you can't control the volume.

But your device's volume can probably be changed even if the screen's locked and off I guess. from within your pocket. I do that and it's really fine :)

hope it helps

You are combining numerous issues into one. The SD, radio, and ROM are all separate issues.

I would check the SD card and see if its still good. Second, I would check your APN settings. Some ROMs do not come with them installed and you have to manually input them.

If all else fails, flash a new ROM and try that.

My only problem is that I did not have a sim card in hand so I rooted and upgraded the Royal Ginger Rom without the sim card. Now my phone is working perfectly but there is an error of "no sim card, emergency calls only," even after I insert a sim card that works with another phone.
