Thanks for pointing that out, guys Hecre has been building GS2 ROMs months ahead, if there's a guy who knows what he's talking about, it's this guy so, LOS probably isn't kernel related, if you constantly get LOSed, try getting a replacement from Sprint. It could be some kind of hardware bug, maybe device dependent. There's no such thing as perfect although we like to believe so in the hardware/software world. BSOD.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] plmiller0905:
Not to be rude or anything...but we can't get a replacement because we're rooted and can't return to stock....I already tried yesterday. I will try another Sprint store today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I was going to point that out. I thought this was an issue being worked on by Samsung /Sprint...are you saying to take it back and get another now or should people having the issue wait for a fix?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rkirmeier:
Pretty much the same thing here. Happened once in the first 5 days then I rooted and happens every hour or so. I'm a network engineer in a software development company and it's the same old thing. It's not the code, it's the infrastructure. Then they find the issue and release a hotfix/SP...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] plmiller0905:
If this Sprint store doesn't give me a replacement and it's no way to return back to stock before my 14 day return period, my only option would be to contact Asurion next week and file a claim...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
So is it possibly something where the kernel has code to disconnect voice when not in use to save battery and its just not reconnecting?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zarthan:
I would try making sure you go to Sprint Service Center store.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] psone:
Any word on fixes to the losing voice/3g signal issue? I may need to un-root since I can't make/receive calls when this happens. Tried airplane mode and back off, doesn't fix. Only thing I can do is reboot phone to get service back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brownrob73:
You don't have to be a sh*t head about it Hacre. I'm talking about the latter of your comments.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PsycloneTW:
Do you have a link to a blog/twitter/whatever that Samsung is working on a loss of service fix? All I've been able to find that they've acknowledged that they're working on are the following items:

From http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...r-bugs-samsung-is-currently-working-on-a-fix/

Can anyone else confirm that Samsung has acknowledged LOS issues on the stock ROM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
Lol! I believed that at first because I never experienced lost data before root....but then again I only had it out of the box for a grand total of 12 seconds before I rooted it. :p After a while, all the reports started coming in about non-rooted devices experiencing data issue and that pretty much summed it up.

Zedomax's root method has been pretty solid from the get & I feel kinda bad for doubting. Dude had very limited dev experience and pulled it off. Kudos to him.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reverepats:
well yeah thats basically what i was talking about...my bad, i should have clarified that a bit....although thats not a complete list of everything that ALL OF US are experienceing....im sure there well aware of whats going on by now....the MOD JerDog1976 for our forums posted a LOgCat in the SPRINT FORUMS, and it shows how his RADIo just disconnect out of now where:

I/TelephonyRegistry( 2716): notifyServiceState: 1 home Searching for service... Unknown CSS not supported 0 0RoamInd: -1DefRoamInd: -1EmergOnly: false

I/TelephonyRegistry( 2716): notifyServiceState: 3 home null null null Unknown CSS not supported -1 -1RoamInd: -1DefRoamInd: -1EmergOnly: false

for me.....i feel pretty good about a fix coming soon...i mean seriously, this phone has been out for what, 6 days now....if something isnt done rather quickly, Sprint/Samsung is gonna have a total **** storm on there hands....My 2 cents

looks like u may have to wait a while cuase there no method for that just yet....should be very soon
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] texasredrider:
I thought this was harsh. Funny as hell, made me lol, but still kinda on the mean side

Give the 38 year old Mexican dude named Robert from Arizona a break ;)

The phone has dual cores that work in tandem so whats good for one is good for the other.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
sim_state_changed......wtf?!

Hmmm...

ACTION_SIM_STATE_CHANGEDpublic static final String ACTION_SIM_STATE_CHANGED = "android.intent.action.SIM_STATE_CHANGED"

Broadcast Action: The sim card state has changed. The intent will have the following extra values:

◦phoneName - A string version of the phone name.

◦ss - The sim state. One of "ABSENT" "LOCKED" "READY" "ISMI" "LOADED"

◦reason - The reason while ss is LOCKED, otherwise is null "PIN" locked on PIN1 "PUK" locked on PUK1 "NETWORK" locked on Network Personalization

Requires the READ_PHONE_STATE permission.

This is a protected intent that can only be sent by the system.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vegasden:
Through an entirely different issue I contacted Sprint Tech to resolve a problem I was having. In our casual discussion I mentioned LOS and has he seen a lot of it with the ET4G. He responded he had "much more than the Evo". Again, one Sprint Tech support guy and nothing in writing. So take it any way that you wish. I had LOS when I first got it...a reactivation resolved the issues
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:
Its not kernal guys it was sprint upgrading their tower to new upcoming Ebro rev b.

I have seen amazing 3g speed spike since this morning. I haven't had a single lost of signal.

And I am rooted using zedomax method.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reverepats:
yeah surprisingly i havent gotten any LOS today myself....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
I also noticed that recently, the first day i got epic touch and rooted my phone, 4G was suddenly really slow only getting 1mbps but i checked with my evo 4g and was getting the same. The next day it went back up to 9mbps normal.

i know sprint is working on 4G LTE recently so might have to do with the towers?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I just got off of the phone with a Sprint tech also. It is not a known issue that is in the system so far. When I was talking to him, I was checking in About phone/status and I was showing Network: unknown. When I did a PRL update on my own, it didn't change. When I did it while on the line with the tech, I was told to power down for 10 seconds and reboot. Now it is showing "Sprint" I will report back later after I see if it fixed the issue. My mobile network state is showing "disconnected " but so is my Epic.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
I know it's not the kernel, but do you have any proof that it's Sprint upgrading their towers to support rev. B?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reverepats:
i completely agrre...some are saying that they had this issue with there 3D, but i have never had that happen, nor seen anyone report anything about losing 3G signal all together....so i think yur in the clear bro LOL....i bet that had u saying "WTF is going on"?.....haha......its all good....for someone who's did have any prior knowledge of HACKING....good so far in my book....

---------- Post added at 05:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 PM ----------

jeez....this really is a friggen mess huh?....its just so wide spread ya know?....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Hacre your not cool with your smartass comments. Anyone can can be a smartass on an open forum.

The Evo3D Killer!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
It is a mess right now but I am sure it will be fixed. Hotspot is disconnecting when a call is received while on 4G. That's a known issue. I was told that if your network is showing "unknown " then the store rushed the activation process.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] comedy:
Just wanted to keep up the good work Zedo, again for someone with not alot of prior knowledge you've sure shown some godliness.

Cant wait for your V3!

3G speed test had some very poor results, not even above 1kbps

4g speed test is better, reporting 5 down, and 1.5 up.

But im sure its just Sprint working on the towers, or servers.

closest ping in ST is 113-150MS, which doesnt seem right cause

i know its choosing the las vegas server, which shouldnt be giving me such a high ping.

other than that, all is good.

havent really experience any voice or data loss, then again i havent really used my actual phone for lengthy calls but the ones ive had have been good.

Are you going to release the stock kernel before your V3?

logically probably seems the best since so many people are having issues.

Again guys, follow the instructions to the "T"..i've had his V1 & V2 kernel with no problems that everyone else has stated, i guess its just different for everybody else im not sure.

just my $0.02

Thanks again Zedo for the speedy work, any ETA on when V3 will be released?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gerald410:
I want to flash this so bad, It looks awesome Z. I just want to see how my phone is stock in regards to LOS before I proceed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:
Can we except v3 tonight or not?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Devi0124:
I just wanted to say that I have been running this Kernel since day 1 @ 800/1600 on demand and I fricken love my phones performance. Custom Rom's will be cool but as of right now this IS the best performance I have gotten out of ANY phone I have ever had. I did have the data problems but after the data reset I have not had a drop in 2 days. THANKS

Dont know about the Touch forums but usually as a general rule it is kind of frowned upon to ask for eta's..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gammaxgoblin:
Hey jackass..other dual core kernels have only been overclocking just one of the cores on other models...and I can guarantee my brains raw ability to process information is vastly superior to yours and in additionI will physically kick your ass at any time of your choosing.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anubis13:
Not yet. it's not happening much. I'm waiting to see if sprint/Samsung comes up with anythin. Also I read a few posts where some people soft bricked their phones trying the MSL reset.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KaliS-Pugilist:
i noticed that after i flashed zedo's v2 that on reboot there was that yellow triangle with exclamation at the screen where it says samsung galaxy S2. is that typical to have after flashing this kernel? i didnt notice reading about in other posts and i think i went over most of the 65+ pages...but i could have missed something. it seems to be working well and i have superuser and CWM...just that triangle & ! are odd to me and im hoping nothing is wrong.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kilthro:
yes its normal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KaliS-Pugilist:
for the sake of curiosity and increasing me knowledge base, why does it do that and what changes does it signify?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kilthro:
Its from the kernel u patched when you rooted. apparently its from the source that zedo was working with and it carries over to the phones that flash with it... they are looking at trying to get stock images back in upcoming stock version kernels and/or how to just get that image back without the icons in the future. I wouldnt worry about it tbo.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anubis13:
the European SGSII forums claim its to let the stores or manufacturers that you modified the kernel and ignored the custom OS warning.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] texasredrider:
I had this happen on my galaxy tab 10.1

If i flash a rom with the kernal and all, no exclamation point. As soon as i flash another kernal on top of that rom, i get the triangle exclamation point. I think samsung uses the kernel to tell if anything has been flashed to let the carriers know if its been tampered with.

I bet when Zedo includes a rom with this kernel, the triangle will go away.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
Yes, that splash screen is a hardcoded screen that can be changed so I am working on that this week. But no worries.

Check out v.3 just uploaded, you can change boot animations to your liking.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] send415:
waiting to go home ones i go home ill flash v3 so i just flash the v3 with odin wat about the other cwm file ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stacio88:
Can this be flashed using the kernel flashing app?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriverdoug:
Just flashed this and doing a nandroid backup now. Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
You can flash the zip file with CWM (recommended), no wipe, OR you can use ODIN to flash the tar file (USE PDA button NOT PHONE!!!).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
U mean kernel manager? havent tried could be possible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cudahy_boy:
i don't see the fishable zip through cwm
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gerald410:
Z thx for the hard work, the link for the zip is bringing me to the tar file.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] send415:
never used cwm befor
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JungleJiujitsu:
Me either, where is the zip?

...BTW thanks for the .tar, I'll flash thru Odin in the meantime!:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] texasredrider:
off topic but i was just thinking, how cool would it be to have a tshirt with the ACS logo on it! Big logo on the back with a little logo on the front pocket. Gotta represent!

Ok on topic, if i were to go ahead and take the plunge with v3 i can just odin the tar and have a rooted touch with cwm already installed, correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriverdoug:
That is correct.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
Hold down Volume Up and Power Button together for like 10 seconds until you see your phone reboot then enter into ClockworkMod Recovery.

Then use Volume buttons to select "install zip from sdcard" and hit the Power button (or could be Home button if you are bubby's kernel).

Then use Volume buttons to select "choose zip from sdcard" and hit the Power button (or could be Home button if you are bubby's kernel).

Find the file SPH-D710_Zedomax_EpicTouchKernel-v3.zip using volume button and hit the power button.

Select Yes and hit the power button.

You should see WHOOHOO!!!

reboot and you can check that you have v3 under about phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] send415:
so how do i change the boot animation? it says boot animation support

Hey Z quick question...I noticed that while in recovery and while I was running a nand backup the status bar dosen't work....but on Bubby's recovery it does. I'm not complaining in the slightest, just curious. Thanks again for the hard work man. This is really exciting stuff!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] send415:
i had the same issue the back up never worked it got stuck so i had to reboot
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriverdoug:
Well, the backup works just fine, it's just that the status bar stays blank.

Rockin' on v3! I was hoping for boot anim support. I love making my own stupid little boot animations.

By the way, Zedo, you're name is starting to show up on Sprint's internal 'Known Issues' forum, not that it really means anything. It's stuff like "Had X devices returned non-functioning this week. After investigation all were rooted using methods posted by Zedomax".

Keep on keepin' on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] springsyeti:
I installed the cwm. How do you get to recovery with sgs2? What is the button combination. Thanks.. Sorry but new to the samsung rooting game..

the link to the tar file is not working.Can I just install through CWM app or via recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ehusidic:
Click on the .zip link and change .zip to .tar and it will work for you. Thats what I did and it worked fine. Just flashed it with odin and everything is working as it should.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JungleJiujitsu:
You can also download Quick Boot https://market.android.com/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot&feature=search_result for free off the Market, and it'll reboot the system and reboot you into recovery as well!

what i meant was the file link download but its up now will try hey if I'm on bubbys what do i do to get to yours
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spitefulrain:
Are you gonna switch to the official stock kernel now that it is out?

Btw, rocking your v3 at the max OC speed :D Working great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boog316:
Real quick but maybe I am missing something....

Updated to v1 when it came out... LOS maybe once or twice per day (no biggie)... Came back today already v3 nice.. Downloaded and flashed - all green , good to go. But for some reason when tries to auto boot gets to android screen and shuts down???

Any thoughts. To get phone back running flas back to v1. I didnt recall in my post search any one else having issues.

Thanks and love the work!!

I appear to be having the same problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] akarol:
Zedo, you da man!

Now, I'm more comfortable with CWM. Am I required to Wipe Data to flash your on top of V5 kernel I flashed earlier? I was having issues with using ##72786# with your V2 kernel to re-activate my data. It wouldn't proceed with activation after reboot and System Updates started FC'ing. It's been fine with V5 now, but I would like OC.

Kernels are usually and mostly always based off stock kernels...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriverdoug:
This is true. Although Netarchy who is a amazing kernel developer was taking the kernels as they were being released from linux and making them work with HTC sense Roms. That's crazy to be able to do that.

Right now our phones have the .35 kernel. Think how sweet these phones would run with the .38 kernel ported over.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Hacre:
He and I did the same thing on the SGS2 it's just a matter of taking the patch intended for the kernel version that comes with Gingerbread (2.6.35.7) and dealing with rejected hunks afterwards, then it's relatively trivial to go from .8 .9 .10 etc.

Also bubby and I managed to get a dump of the original zImage so anyone having issues or thinking they have issues with the Samsung source tree can flash it and see if they still have issues. Available here for just the zImage or here for something you can flash with Odin.
