That doesn't happen also with GingerJHv2 ;)

I used GingerDX for a long time, the rom is great, but DX aren't really active on the forum this days. He surely is one of the best developers here and would have fix the cam problem in a few seconds ;)

Sorry 4 the bad english

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xWhiskey:
Well, I actually wanted to post a similar thread of my own. I have the exact same problem, except I'm on FroyoPro v2.5. The camera just goes black on some random occasion and you have to force close it and run it again. Happens on all camera programs, not just the one that came with the ROM. It's not really much of an issue because I don't use the camera daily, but if I was to go to a vacation or something and take >50 pictures, I'd say the camera fails about five times.

Perhaps an information of relevance would be that I have a Sandisk 8GB class 4 card. I don't remember having the problem before upgrading to a newer card, but then again I just could have been lucky. The card speed was tested and its sequential write speeds, 512k and 4k write speeds are all amazing. (could each of you who have this problem share which SD card you have?)

So, regardless of this being a two-year old thread, the problem is obviously still there, and there seems to be no solution. If someone knows what all of this is about, that would make my day :)

[Samsung Mesmerize] Grape Drank:
had my 2.2 mersmerize rooted with the lag fix and did the mini kies update to 2.3.4 and now everything is crashing because internal storage is at 0B. I am assuming it is because i did not revert the lag fix before updating and the file systems are different and cannot see each other.

if this is the case does anyone know how to fix this issue? or maybe a stock or nice 2.3.4 rom i can load with odin or whatever people use.

---------- Post added at 11:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 AM ----------

Well, it seems as though the update did not remove and/or break the boot recovery so i was able to factory reset through that and it formatted internal storage and fixed it!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
So buzz has started to fly around about Sprint possibly announcing Oct 7th implementing EVDO Rev. B on its network. I'd imagine anyone suffering from poor 3G data speeds would be interested in this, assuming it holds any water at all.

So I was looking at iFixit's teardown, and it lists the CDMA chip in this phone as the Qualcomm QSC6085 CDMA Processor. From what limited information I can find, this chip is not capable of EVDO Rev. B. Some things I've read seem to indicate it's simply a software thing, but I have to think the hardware in the device has to be able to take advantage of it. Everything I can find about the QSC6085 says it doesn't.

Now, I'm no engineer, nor do I know very much about CDMA data technology, but can anyone here shed some light on whether or not this phone would be capable of EVDO Rev. B if it were indeed implemented by Sprint? Could Samsung send out an OTA Update that would enable it?

I know this is all dependent on Sprint actually implementing it, which is questionable at best, but I'm trying to think ahead.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayv1717:
I don't know much but according to them it will..

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nubsors:
Does Rev B allow simultaneous talk and data?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greengoldmello:
if it is true, I'm wondering why the he'll they haven't been implemented this long ago..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
It was a choice. Invest in 4G network, or jump into "3.5G" aka EvDo Rev B. I'm sure you know which one they went with. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jok3sta:
Damn I sure hope so.. Sprints current 3g, sucks ass

Tapatalkin' it from my Epic Touch 3g
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdszoke:
Yes it does :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dulanic:
No it doesn't. Wimax/LTE does and will but EVDO does not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] irev210:
Sprint has NEVER talked about deploying EVDO Rev B.

They have talked about upgrading all of their base stations, radios, and antennas.

Since they are deploying LTE and WiMAX, it makes sense for them to deploy EVDO Rev B since the iPhone isn't going to have LTE radio. This gives them a nice competitive edge against Verizon.

The great thing is, all of their radios are going to be software programmable and mounted on the actual tower. This will let sprint just swap out base station cards when they phase out wimax, etc. Not having to deal with new radio hardware will allow sprint to keep it's network much more modern, esp with a flat IP-based architecture.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
Right. They never announced it because they never went with it.

If Sprint can throw out EvDo Rev B before Verizon does, they could see a major increase in customers.

---------- Post added at 02:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 PM ----------

EvDo Advanced does.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BlueGoldAce:
If the epic touch does support the evo rev b, then I may have to rethink this purchase
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strung:
This. The iPhone not having a 4G technology, plus the fact that it is SDR (Software Defined Radio) makes me feel like there is a good chance EVDO Advanced and 1x advanced, allowing Voice and Data simultaneously will be implemented via software on the base stations.

Probably will be a radio flash update for phones on the phone end to support these new protocols.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ma$etas:
SO if sprint does setup this network rev b is the Epic touch capable of taking advantage of it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
There's sites (such as Gizmofusion) stating that it will. It's all whether or not it's software dependent. If it's hardware dependent, then we wont be able to use it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ma$etas:
so if its a hardware thing then the epic touch wont be able to use it but then what will happen with the epic touch no more connection or is sprint still gonna have the rev a and wimax connections available for all older phones
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BlueGoldAce:
The evo 3d supports it, so surely the epic 4g touch does....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
I'm not so sure about that. The EVO 3D's cdma chip is built onto the Qualcomm's Snapdragon SOC that the phone uses. It uses the MSM8660, with MSM being "mobile station modem", which I believe was the successor chipset line to the QSC chipsets and added EVDO Rev. B support. The fact that Qualcomm built the entire SOC for the EVO 3D might have been an advantage in this case.

Here is QSC6085's description from the press release back in 2007:

Nothing about EV-DO Rev. B.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdszoke:
Ev Do Advanced does I am sorry for the misinformation. I was googling the **** out of ev do the other day and I got my **** mixed up. Sorry.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
If the Epic Touch indeed CAN'T connect to Rev B, I wonder if the "old" CDMA chip was used to cut costs in order to meet the $200 price point for Sprint?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jok3sta:
Oh man.. that would suck donkey **** if this phone doesnt support rev b.. and its already seeming like it wont.. if sprint is stupid enough to roll out rev b before the trial period is over with the et4g im sure there will be a lot of returns
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] comeatmebro:
The video that was posted on youtube by sprint mentioned that any new android devices would support the upgrade.

pretty sure sprint wouldn't leave us out if they're really unveiling it that soon
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Yeah I'm still hopeful. There's gotta be something I'm missing. I called Samsung tech support but that was useless. The Rep didn't even know what EVDO is, even though she came back 5 minutes later saying the phone does support Rev. B.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayv1717:
I really hope it does, this is the only thing kind of holding me from getting the phone.. I would be seriously bummed to be stuck with slow 3g
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
Any way to find out for sure? I want this dammit! Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdszoke:
Does anyone know if non rev. b devices will benefit like how HSPA+ also helps the data speed of non hspa+ devices.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayv1717:
that's what I was thinking of but I wouldn't want to put my money on that..our settle for that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BlueGoldAce:
If it doesn't support it, it is outdated already and not worth the investment.... Which would be terrible since this is such an amazing phone...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ewynn9:
My sprint rep made a mention that it will support rev B and that one of the installed frequencies is going to be carrying LTE when it is eventually deployed.

I'm skeptical about the LTE part but do believe the rev B info.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xJeganx:
I at least hope there is solid confirmation on whether or not the phone will support rev B before my 14 days are up. Although I guess if not that's the price I pay for jumping on it before and solid information. I figured if the EVO 3D would support then of all phones this would.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eagercrow:
There is a press release floating around somewhere that says all phones released August of this year and after will have the new chip and support the upgrades.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stefan.buddle:
just sent an email to sprint asking about EVDO Rev B support and currently talking with Samsung rep. I don't think I'm going to get anything out of the rep because the first thing that they did was ask me to wait so they can "collect" some information, aka ask the guy in the cubicle next to them

Chat Information Please wait for a Samsung Agent to respond.

Chat Information You are now chatting with 'Deborah'. There will be a brief survey at the end of our chat to share feedback on my performance today.

Chat Information Your Issue ID for this chat is LTK5640142302X

Deborah: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?

Stefan: Hello how are you today?

Deborah: I am fine , how about you?

Deborah: Please go ahead with the question.

Stefan: I'm doing dandy, but I do have a question about the Galaxy S II Epic Touch 4G

Deborah: Please go ahead

Stefan: Do that phone support EVDO Rev. B?

Stefan: Does*

Deborah: I understand that you need to check if phone supports EVDO Rev. B.

Deborah: Would you mind holding 3 minutes while I gather the required information on your request?

Stefan: No problem at all take your time

Deborah: Thank you for holding

Deborah: Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch specially made for Sprint Carrier (bundling in), the Data networks used by this SGS2 is CDMA Technology supports EVDO Rev. A up to 3.1 Mbps (CDMA200 1xEV-DO | CDMA 800 / 1900 Mhz). The 4G term in Samsung Epic 4G Touch indicated that this Smartphone support fourth Generation (4th Generation) of Data technology for WiMax (Sprint Carrier),

Deborah: Unfortunately phone do not support Rev.b

Stefan: Sad to hear that it doesn't, I do know that the Evo3D which is an older phone does support Rev B, any reason in particular that the GS2 which is a newer phone doesnt support Rev B?

Deborah: I am sorry we do not have information about unsupporting of rev.b.

Stefan: NP at all thank you for your time
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boe:
stefan.buddle thanks for posting. Hopefully that isn't a limitation of the chip but just Samsung not planning on updating it at this time or it could be a rep who didn't know for sure.

If you post the link to start chat with Samsung I'm sure plenty of us would be willing to do a chat to let them know how important this is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] h20wakebum:
I think that if these rumors were true... and you were outside of your 14 day period... They'd still have to honor a return.

Maybe not in the store, but if you called retentions or customer care...

WTF are they thinking selling us the latest and greatest, then less than 30 days later they announce they're updating their network... lol.

I'm not too worried, just depends how good you are at stating your case...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R2D2 631:
im getting pissed just thinking about this... wtf am i gonna get now.. photon is ugly as hell.. i really hope ET4G does suport rev b
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nate420:

It wont be hard to throw a few "BBB" and "out dated a month later!?" Comments at them to get out of the contract or a newer phone.... Hell this could be a god sent for the nexus prime ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ilostmypistons:
I just got a email from sprint stating that the E4GT is not capable now of Evodo revB. I dont know what NOW means I just cant believe they would pull this. Maybe its upgradable through a OTA
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strung:
Probably. Rev B is just a protocol change. The radios on these phones run a real time operating system image, it's about 22 MB in size. The Wimax chip also runs a separate real time operating system. So you actually have 3 OS's running at the same time. There are CDMA radio and Wimax radio updates all the time for phones, so I don't see why the radio couldn't be updated to support revised protocols like rev B, 1x advanced, LTE, etc. But this is all speculation. Nobody even knows if Rev B will be deployed on the tower end.

Also, the upcoming network upgrades will improve speeds for everybody including Rev A devices. For example, switching from coax to fiber will reduce signal loss, and deployment on the 800 mHz band will improve coverage especially in buildings, and the ET4G supports the 800 mHz band. Right now we're not even maxing out Rev A's 3 Mbps in most places.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
I would be curious to know as much as possible about these "radios" and related OS, etc. Could you tell us more or refer me to a place to read more?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Yeah, I can't imagine sprint not accounting for this in their new flagship android device. Maybe that's why they aren't marketing it? Only Samsung really is.

I think(hope) sprint has someway of making it work.. thats the only thing stopping me from buying the phone right now.. guess i'll wait a lil longer

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jfenton57:
How do we even know before the announcement that Sprint will be doing anything at all that would utilize EVDO REV B???

Believe me...I won;t keep a phone that won't utilize whatever it is they are going to announce, but how do we even know yet???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
We don't, but it is pretty convenient the 30 trial ended the day this phone came out. I'm going to return the phone early next week and get the photon, use that until the announcement then decide afterward.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eliott15:
i'm a nob but i thought that there was some talk a while ago about sprint revamping their base stations? i'm too lazy to look it up but i know that this just went through the fcc, fcc id A3LSMM-2LD0581900 (sorry it wont let me post the link).

I don't know what Sprint is going to announce oct 7th, but it seems like things are lining up for rev b or 1x advanced to me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
Looking that up through google got me this,

http://forums.androidcentral.com/rumored-devices/115271-samsung-lte-radio-fcc.html

Which again supports the thought of Sprint possibly getting rev B.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
I remember as well. They were way smaller and could do Wimax and LTE
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cary328is:
There's a strong chance iFixit got the Qualcomm part number wrong (hell there's a sticker on the top). I don't think it's the "CSM6085" - but rather the CSM6850 in which it IS compatible with Rev B. I searched Qualcomm's site for any datasheets for "CSM6085" and couldn't find anything regarding that part. And yes I'm an electrical engineer so it's common to get part numbers mixed up but I think the 6850 is in the 6800 series family of qualcomm chips.

Edit: I typed "CSM" but OP had it right. It's QSC and QSC6085 does exist and yes..it's NOT compatible with Rev B. Bummer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boe:
I just checked with Samsung chat and they weren't willing to say either way -

I would like to inform you that, unfortunately from Samsung support as of now there is no information about future updates. We are unable to speculate the information about the update due to the fact that this may lead to confusion. Should the update becomes available it will be mentioned in the Samsung website.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eliott15:
also looking on sprint's community page through their network and coverage section says that they are upgrading but it is not expected to be finished for 3 years so if you get a SGS2E4GT (best name ever) now and it doesn't benefit rev b, you're area might not even see that update for 3 years.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
My phone wouldn't lie though, in debug it stated it has chipset QSC6085.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
I'm not going to chance that on a $200 purchase. And three years to complete it, but folks will start seeing the capabilities starting this 4th quarter in certain areas.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eliott15:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
The chat support Reps at Sprint and Samsung are useless. They read their responses off a computer screen, and have no clue what's on the inside of their devices outside of the published spec sheet. If this phone IS somehow capable of running EV-DO Rev. B they sure as hell won't be able to tell you with any certainty.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boe:
After reading through the entire chat session, I don't think Angel should ever claim she understands anything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ericdabbs:
Why can't people who own the Epic 4G Touch just admit that the phone doesn't have evdo rev b support. It is all about the hardware that is used and the Epic 4G Touch has a very old Qualcomm QSC6085 chip which only supports EVDO Rev A.

You can ask all the sprint customer reps you want and even if they say "Yes",most likely they know less than you do and they are wrong anyways. It doesn't solve the problem or give you a peace of mind. If this is such a big issue to you then you'll have to return it back and get a Moto Photon (I personally recommend) or the Evo 3D. The lack of EVDO Rev B support is not a sprint issue but rather a hardware issue with the phone. If anything blame Samsung for putting such old parts into a nice looking phone. If you like the rest of the phone then who cares about EVDO Rev B..its not worth getting a new phone for one feature.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
Why are you people even wasting your time asking these people. Even after you convince them to say yes, does it even mean anything? They still have no clue what you are even talking about.
