This isn't necessarily a bug. I call it an unwanted feature, but when I'm using the hard keyboard and press on a word expecting the cursor to show up where I pressed and start typing, backspacing or what not only to find the cursor moves to the end of the word. I really don't get it. If I'm pressing a particular spot, I want my cursor there, not at the end of the word. If I wanted it there I'd press there. Not intuitive at all.
[Epic 4G General] GucciPilot:
If someone can find out how to disable this, I would like to know as this is extremely annoying!
[Epic 4G General] vita10gy:
Eh, I could see if being helpful, once you get used to it. You don't have to play the "which 3 to 4 letters near my touch is it going to put the cursor after" game. You just mash a word. It's a precision for consistency trade off. You might have to arrow over a couple, but at least you know where the cursor is going to be put.
[Epic 4G General] fromchaos0646:
keyboard skips keys and the blue arrow that pops up when you go back to edit a word is annoying. other than that, perfect.

OK, did deodexed, Plus Kernel... after 3 days I was receiving no incoming calls, straight to VM, after it had worked initially, then modem just crashed, died, reboot nothing. Odined EG22 modem, all the sudden reception was like 2 bars better both on sprint and VZ roam, then a couple days later, starts resending texts to me from a couple days previous (network?). Pulldown bar intermittently not responsive, drags icons around screen... I swear samsprint put some sort of time bomb in the code to make these GB leaks have issues after you get a taste of the good stuff...

[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
Spare Parts (and Spare Parts+) works fine with GB, it's just the stock GB ROMs don't have the Battery History activity. Apparently, the feature can be enabled in custom ROMs (like it is in CM7). The developer of Spare Parts Plus is working on a way to enable it, but until then, check this out-

well the keyboard issue was somewhat resolved with the impaled keyboard patch. i wish it would be updated soon to work on gb. actually, it seems to work for me but not as good as it did on froyo.

as for the blue arrow, this is just a gb thing for me. lets say i spell "msplace" instead of "misplace". ill go back to type in the missing "i", but it will automatically move my cursor thing to the end of the word. so aggravating.

[Epic 4G General] dbpaddler:
Yeah. I mentioned that above. I'm placing my cursor in a particular spot for a reason. Totally kills the flow of what I'm doing. It's the little things that annoy me. The keyboard skipping. The cursor moving. The call log. They are just nuisance things that detract from the user experience, and are things that should've been easily fixed a while ago or never changed in the first place. They focus on stupid little things and miss the big picture things.

ok got a new one... my phone started waking itself up constantly today and rotating the screen from landscape to portrait. i rebooted it and now its stuck in landscape
[Epic 4G General] kidstechno:
I got 39 hours of battery and was still at 6-8%.

Rebooted once.

The only thing is, sometimes when I unplug it after it being 100%, the battery will drop to anywhere between 60-80 percent. Happens probably 3/5 times. Somewhat annoying but as long as it lasts, it's whatever.

Edit: Just unplugged and it went all the way down to 36%. Rebooted and dropped to 26%. Wtf?

Anyone see an issue were the usb connected notification message repeatedly shows even though your not plugged in?

my issues with eg22

- battery drains faster than ec05...especially on idle

- gps issue where it hangs after 10 minutes or so with google nav..( easily fixed by exiting google nav and starting it again..a bit tedious but it works..)

- the charging issue after it charges past 100 percent, it starts draining the battery even when the phone is still plugged.

- eats more ram than ec05 and i have to keep closing apps manually because i multitask a lot on my phone

- and sometimes the phone freezes and make a weird noise and works again after 3 secs or so..happens when i play media files (i think I'm the only with the issue)

- these are my only issues with eg22 and i hope they get fixed in the final build

RandomROM 2.3 HAWK EG22

Hey , on RandomROM 2.3 HAWK been spoiled after a year of Midnight (thanks pdfmedic) .

So far stability is top notch, nothing random so far - only GB I have kept for more than a couple of hours , intend to use a daily driver even with these things I've noticed.

Wanted to update the PRL and always FC at the About Phone/System Updates

GTalk Video engages, but only sees the rear cam - can see on the phone but only displays my google avatar on the others computer screen , remember there was a FFC fix for EF02 but haven't seen an update .

Oh and GPS has not been an issue this time around - but all other GB Roms I have tried have or soon after install

I also have the official car dock and will post once I get everything flashed and set up how well it works for me. The dock has been pretty wonky for me even on stock EC05 and SRF 1.2.

Really excited to try this one out; EF02 was excellent and so snnapy and smooth, but GPS issues and keyboard lag made me go back to EC05. Sounds like both those bugs have been worked out! :D

That's been an issue since the first GB leak. I tested it with two Epics on my back porch. One Froyo Epic and on GB Epic...GB didn't have any wifi signal.

Okay murso74, dock audio routing seems to be working perfectly for me on EG22. I still had to install "Galaxy Dock Sound Redirector" off of the Market to get sound doing through the dock and not the phone's speaker, but it's just a free set-it-and-forget-it app. You'll also have to install a Car Home app of your choosing to get the Car Mode UI whenever you're docked.

Here's a quick link to the sound redirector.

Unrelated edit:

Been playing with this for about an hour, and I would say that keyboard lag is definitely NOT fixed in this leak. There's less lag than on older leaks and OTAs, but my keyboard still isn't as responsive as it was on SRF 1.2 with Genocide kernel.

Ok, I've had something odd happen twice now, though I'd have to go through and re-Odin a 3rd time and keep checking one app at a time to try and figure out at which point this is happening:

After restoring all my apps + data I'm fine, but then when I go into Manage Applications to move a bunch of stuff back over the SD card....something keeps causing a bug in the launcher that, if there's a way to recover from it without re-Odining, I'm not sure what it is: Basically, I'm left with only the Application Drawer shortcut in the middle of the launcher, with the other three icons completely gone. Anyone else experienced this or might have a clue what's going on there?
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
@murso...one "thank" for the thread, the other for the. Zeppoles! They are the best thing ever. Can someone explain how using a different modem (I am trying the new one on EC05 ROM to check GPS lock and data speeds) would effect battery life?
[Epic 4G General] MikeEx:
Had this after messing around removing sprint apps.

Try clearing cache and dalvik from recovery.

I use a different launcher so I don't know if it would work.
[Epic 4G General] PythonFanTN:
Already tried that, didn't work. Had to wipe data too and reset back to factory to get it back right. I think it might have to do with restoration of eSpeak TTS plug-in (I can't even remember what app originally had me install that but its an alternative to Pico), if I remember right I was able to move that to SD card but then checking after the fact the button was greyed out to move it anywhere. I'm restoring apps+data again without restoring that and going to check after each individual move to SD to see if it alters again.
[Epic 4G General] machx0r:
You know you can drag and drop applications in/out of this area right? Or are you saying that even after going into applications nothing shows up there?

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Epic 4G General] PythonFanTN:
The application drawer itself is fine if you go into it. It's the launcher that bugs, it only displays the Application Drawer icon in the middle of the launcher, and Phone/Messaging/Contacts icons are nowhere to be found.

Sorry, to be more specific, the launcher shortcut bar, just so no one's confused.
[Epic 4G General] machx0r:
And if you go into the Application Drawer you don't see the Phone, Messaging, Contacts applications there with the rest of your applications? Cause if you do you can go Menu -> Edit and drag them back into the launcher.

Edit: I ask because I had this happen on stock EC05 OTA and all I had to was go into applications edit and drag them back into the launcher.

I wonder if the official update is still coming this week like it is suppose to ?
[Epic 4G General] nimaim:
It was never supposed to comeout this week. Any release date is a rumor or educated guess (based on sources some ppl have here) at best. The one that sounds the most likely is sometme around aug 22nd. Samsprint may release one more build and if they do, that date sounds about right. If EG22 is indeed their last build, then yes it is possible they release it officially any day now.

[Epic 4G General] jnadke:
Well, G = July, so this is a July 22nd build. The leaks come from a source within Samsung and not Sprint, I believe. So this is the build Samsung delivered to Sprint.

Sprint still would have to qual control it, which takes a long time (about 3 weeks), so the August 20-22nd estimates sound about right if this is final.

[Epic 4G General] TurboFool:
Mostly flawless, but GPS is as useless as EF02, which is even more useless than before. Lock gets stuck after a random period of time and navigation becomes useless until the phone gets restarted. At least in FroYo you could toggle GPS off and back on to fix it.
[Epic 4G General] latinmaxima:
I wanted to see what bugs people were having and see I I cul duplicate them. I will test the GPS and the dock today. Did my battery calibration start over night so will see how that goes today. So far no issues though like what anyone has mentioned other than checkerboarding in browser. I use mozlla mostly though so...

Will get back later today on other items. My method for installing was flashin from EF02 plus with bloat removed. Now on deodexed with battery mod theme. Restored data via cwm and no issues or force closes yet.

Yeah it started at 100. But I have been using it since I woke up at 800. So almost 8 hours of sleep and 4 hours of moderate usage. It is still early for real battery statistics but I am positive it is an improvement from EF02. Whether it is the same or better than EC05 is yet to be seen.

Im sure someone will do an overscroll and crt off animation soon anyways. Those things arent important for me though.
[Epic 4G General] Bobulus:
Only issue I'm having is that the default browser's scrolling isn't working right.

On every version before this, if you dragged your finger up or down on the screen, the page moved with it. If you flicked as you released, you could get some "spin" and have it move down the page quite rapidly.

On this version, as I move my finger down the page, nothing happened. When I release my finger, the page moves, but not in a smooth scroll but a sudden jump.

I tested this by starting near the middle of the screen, moving up, down, up, down, up, down, stopping, holding it there, and then releasing. The screen only moved once, and seemed to only move the distance between where I originally started and where I released.

Weird.
[Epic 4G General] adamw1101:
Its odd if you use the ceaseless and run Google maps you get a very.pricier lock. But when Yun use the navigation feature the lock is crap and it claims that it loses the GPS but if you keep driving it still follows you along the route. Is there another modem you can flash that works or are we stuck with this until a new version comes out or back to ec05?
