I am still on v1, and I didn't have a data issue until yesterday. I was at work (about 1 hour) and my phone lost signal randomly. My work is about 25 minutes away, so it could be because I switched towers? I haven't had any problems since last night returning home.

My PRL is 60681.

Hope this helps. :)

Zedomax:

Thank you for all the wonderful work you've done. I used your original and now v2 and still lose 4% battery power per hour.

What do you set setcpu to for better battery life?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] superhtchd2:
prl 60681 here..

running v2, had probably 4-5 random data loss issues since first rooting 2-3days ago, reboot phone and usually am good for most of the day. very random how it stops though, very possible it has something to do with when it switches towers. another thing and im not sure if it was like this before i rooted as i only had the phone not quite a full day before rooting :D if i dont have GPS selected in the quick settings my data speed is very slow, even on 4g, once GPS is selected im back to full blazing fast speeds as it should be ? dont recall this usually needing to be on in previous phones ive had to run at full speed as i normally dont run GPS to help save on battery..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aaron130:
PRL 60681 here. NOT rooted yet. Waiting for it to be 100%
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
Its really not that bad. With me, I had one random data loss and that was it. If you are anxious enough, just do it. When the real one comes out, you just flash though Odin anyways. So it doesn't hurt to give it a shot. :p

My phone lasts easily an entire day now that it is rooted. I love it.

Do we have a way to get back to stock at this point? I'm also on V2 and having some problems. Everything works fine for a period, but eventually the cellular radio turns itself off (icon goes to a circle with an X through it) and the only way to get it back is to reboot. I'd say I'm having to reboot every 15-30min.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
Darren, thanks for keeping us updated bro. I've been checking the acs site and xda for a 100% confirmation on root. We all want this root with no issue...but we need to be patient and know that our great devs will solve this soon. With that said, I'm so happy I got this beast of a phone.

Thanks Zedomax,

I haven't done it yet but it's amazing to see how fast you got things done. I haven't don't any type of programing in a while, and have always had interest in doing these things... but as a single parent I don't have the time to set there for the hours it takes to do... or to go back and deal with Sprint to change my phone when things go wrong.

I am still going to wait for one that is not experemental, but I appreciate the work you are putting into this and I'm sure that it will get there soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
thanx for understanding guys and your support. trust me i want this as bad as you guys but we need some more testing in "real word situations" to get all bugs out.

Anyone having touch screen issues?

I didn't have any until zedomax v2.

Swype doesn't always trace my finger properly. The straight linesI make come out as zigzags.

Is anyone having problems with sending MMS? Since I flashed the kernel I can't seem to get it work.

Any suggestions?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] acrown:
Call Sprint and ask them to reset your account they will ask you to update your profile and prl and you'll be good. A had the same issue with an evo couldn't get around it until i called and this is what they did, and MMS was fine afterwards.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
Can I just update it manually myself in the settings menu? I did root, so Idk if that would break the kernel or not.

Sent from my Galaxy S II
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] acrown:
They have to reset your account on their end first then you can update your phones profile and prl with fresh data. At least that's what happened in my case, that's why I'm suggesting you try it. I had changed my kernel as well when it happened to me. Can't hurt! It's my experience and that's what we look for in these threads.

Have to reboot when phone goes to Sleep??

I finally got everything working but every time my phone goes into sleep mode I have to reboot it..I am using the updated S.U 3.2..I was using zedo's V2 kernel but I got caught in a boot loop and went back to version 1 I believe..(Gotta Check) Anyways I know we'll be getting some GREAT work from these ACS DUDES..(ZEDO I admire your work) A.C.S RULZ!!!:D ..Ohh Yeah..Any help on my problem topic would appreciated..Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mortis2600:
I'd try the option to update profile, but now that section of setting FCs.

Can't wait to get this fixed.

EDIT

Fixed the FC on the system update. I had disabled com.samsung which was causing the system update screen to FC. Re-enabled it and now it works. Going to update my profile and PRL, re-provision and see if that fixes my data issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
Update on my touch screen issues.

I also noticed that my phone would take an impossible time to charge on my work charger but charge fine on my home and car charger.

Also whenI unplugged my work charger the screen issues went away. Problem solved. I had a similar issue witha bad charger on a treo years ago.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LadyX:
I'm also having voice / data signal issues. I rooted on the second day the root was out, and didn't have any issues that I noticed for a few days. Recently it's every 30 mins or so that I'll have the no signal issues. No data / no voice and have to reboot to get signal back.

I did the PRL update (call sprint, reset account, PRL update from phone) and still no joy.

At this point I too would rather give up root than have a phone that's not reliable.

PRL Version 60681

Any idea when we'll have a fix or a way back? Thanks devs for all your hard work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
I did an MSL reset and haven't had any problems since.

CAUTION: DO AT YOUR OWN RISK

- Download Terminal Emulator

- Open Terminal Emulator and type:

- Write down MSL (6 digit #)

- Dial ##72786# and enter MSL

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
I was running zedomax's OC kernel when I did it. I wonder if that made a difference?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rkirmeier:
Same thing here. After my phone sits for a while I can't make or receive any phone calls. If dial a call it acts as if it is dialing but I never hear anything. If I hang up the phone app acts up, get a tinted green status bar, and can't do anything and end up losing my signal. Kind of sucks to say the least... Tried the re-activation using the ## # option and MSL which did re-activate but still no change.

I had my phone for 5 days before I rooted. I had 1 issue in that 5 days where I had to reboot. Now I have to reboot every hour or so. Sure would like to have a fix or at least go back to stock. I knew I should have waited till there was a way to go back to stock...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] plmiller0905:
The exact same thing just happened to me. I thought the phone just did a random freeze up. I tried to make a call, the call didn't even go through. I attempted to hang the phone up, however the status bar was still green. I pulled the notification bar down, and pressed the red : End Call" button, and the call still wouldn't end. I had to reboot the phone to get it back to working.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yup, I had that once today as well. I always delete Sprint Zone but now I keep using it to check my voice connection. Actually, I updated Profile and PRL yesterday and its showing I have updates available on both

So I just got home from a trip to the country where I know I have bad signal and I experienced no data loss. I rooted my phone with the v2 kernel and guess what. NO SIGNAL LOSS! The problem is not because of the kernel people so give zedo some room to breath you ungrateful bastards lol thank you to everyone who helped root this truly epic phone!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anubis13:
the loss of signal happens only when using battery (and very rarely). If my phone is charging overnight it can sit for 10 hrs and never lose signal. I wonder if anyone else has this experience
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xenide:
Did you make any calls before letting it sit? My loss of signal only really happens 30 minutes after making a call.

EDIT: Sorry meant after the last call made.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anubis13:
I've had the phone for about 13 days and I've maybe made 6 calls. everything goes through text or email. My last call was yesterday around 6 pm. no loss of service until about an hour ago after being off charger for 3 hrs.

Ive had my phone since 10am launch day and didnt decide to root it till 10am last night. The flash went perfect and I immediatly dl'ed setcpu to get my clocks set up. As soon as I even dragged the bar to the 1500 my phone locked up.. after almost 8 battery pulls and reboots later I had to get to setcpu as quickly as possible while phone was still checking sd card and drop CPU to 1400.. finally ran stable then Quadrant scores back to pre-root scores.. attempted 1500 a couple times since, instant lock up almost every time.. damn my luck :mad:

Did you try calling Sprint and doing the Profile and PRL update while on the phone? Is your network showing Sprint or unknown?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zayin101:
After rooting last night I had my first loss of signal since launch day. Resetting the phone worked, but I lost signal again few hours later. Decided to do PRL update, havent lost signal since. Im in OKC with PRL 60681. Also noticed my BlueTooth tethering to my Sony car stereo became very unstable after root, have to cycle the bluetooth numerous times to achieve connection now. Anyone having touchscreen issues? My SWYPE just went nuts on me a few hours ago and is completely unuseable now :confused: Not complaining at all I knew what I was doing when I hit that go button on ODIN, just reporting issues as they occur. Im sure our kick ass Devs are working on this and are going to be resolving everything soon. They all have my utmost respect and envy for the hard work they do for all us daily drivers.. if there was a bow down button next to "thanks" I would put Zedo on the alter Haha

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] h20wakebum:
Excuse my ignorance, but I just want to make sure I don't break my phone.

Now that a stock kernel has been released, If I follow the steps in this post, would I still choose the SPH-D710_Zedomax_Kernel.tar in Odin or can I use the new Stock Kernel that came out?

Or... do I load SPH-D710_Zedomax_Kernel.tar THEN flash the stock kernel?

My only desire is to have SU permission for wifi tether and removing certain apps I don't want.

Again, sorry if this has been discussed, but I did read through the post.

Also... from what I am seeing we still don't have Clockwork Recovery (yet) is this correct?

Thanks ahead of time!

Back to stock woohooo, someone stole my phone before I got the chance to destroy it. Got a new one paying 100 to asurion

Stay stock my friends, lol this is fast enough, no bs bugs. My swype is working perfect again (for some reason root always messed up my swype, even rooted Evo3d, and og evo) When its stock I get no fc's or anything and this phone is blazing fast on its own. Heck, root your slow 3D if you want to but don't ruin your stock GS2.

Also, I am going to look out for any 3g outage in order to verify that its a stock issue, not root. (as I have experienced it once before when stock and rooted)

V3 a no go?

OK, So i'm pretty saavy when it comes with phones ( i.e. I'm a sprint technician for the past 10 Years.

Anywhoo, I flashed the 1st kernel file, and flashed the v3, and sure enough no 3G and the Cell service hasd barely any signal. So I though crap my phone sucks no, So I reflashed the EB40 Stock Kernal available over at ACS Forums, and 3G & cell signal are back and I still have FULL ROOT! That is all I need, but I would love to get the scaling & battery performance. Hopefully this can be fixed?

Anybody else having this problem?

Yeah my phone is acting super funny. IDK if it is because of this kernel or because of root itself but sometime's my signal would just die out and there'd be a circle with a slash through it on my status bar and I'd have to reboot to get back my signal. Also....my battery has been draining like crazy like. Dying within 4 or 5 hours without touching it. I'm going to try to go back to stock kernel and I'll report results.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
I too will be waiting for a solid root method. But i have to say, i agree with everyone that this phone is blazing fast. Only reason i will root is to use CM7 or MIUI or some super tweeked rom. My overclocking days are ...OVER! LOL!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maderf:
I'm sure this has already been answered somewhere on here but I'll ask anyway. before coming to this beast of a phone (btw I'm blown away at how fawesome this is... yes i said fawesome) I had an HTC Hero. The difference is like not realizing I was eating dog food before and then all of the sudden having a perfectly grilled steak. Anyway... I digress...

I was pretty comfortable flashing and putting custom roms on the Hero... Once I had recovery on there, it was as easy as could be. How much different is getting root and flashing roms to the E4GT? I understand the use of "Odin" is needed. As this is my only phone, I need to make sure I have a usable phone. I don't mind quirks, I just liked knowing with my Hero that if I screwed something up, I could just use recovery, and reflash something else. I don't have insurance on my phone, which might be a bad idea, but if I brick my phone I'm SOL.

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ogwilson:
Had this phone since day one in a very strong coverage area. No outages whatsoever. I root it using this method and have been without cellular service for hours. I'm going back to stock, will wait for a more stable implementation. Just an FYI in case people still think this is an issue with the stock ROM/Kernel and phone itself and not this particular kernel. Only reason I wanted root right now was for screenshots (don't like the built-in method) but I guess I'll continue to wait. ROM community isn't really alive and well right now anyway.

No, there will be numerous issues with the rom.

But since this phone has ZERO issues (lag), can do screenshots, has the ability to change fonts without root ap Font Changer, i just can't see putting my nimble brain thru it all agaaaaain... Also, I paid FULL price for this phone, and my sprint store isn't as "accomodating" as i'd like, i'd hate to have to bring them a phone with "warranty issues"... Think i'll sit on the "Light Side" for a bit and decide later : ) and um, Corleone, Corleone... that name drums up a bad feeling for some reason...lol
