Join the club. GPS on this thing is terrible from what ive seen so far. Ive only had it for 2 days now and the GPS basically useless.

I wish I didnt give my Epic away. lol. Never had any troubles at all with that thing.

I don't have any problems with gps at I can lock in my living room of my 2 story home
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
I flashed lostkernel 1.0.2.2 in cwm(replacing the experimental kernel) and I don't have issues with reboots after GPS lock and navigation anymore. If you don't care about overclocking i'd suggest that to fix hot reboots in navigation.

I also am having GPS problems, it takes longer than usual to get a lock, about a whole minute, and its not very accurate.

You know when you long press on the home screen and your widgets are shown by size. (Example: agenda 1x1 agenda 1x2 agenda 2x3 agenda 2x4)

Can you organize them into one agenda widget....then when we press the agenda widget and it shows all the sizes. less cluter when accessing the widgets.

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brothertax:
I've been running this for the past 48 hours. Solid, fast, everything works!

Quick question: if you flash this ROM using CWM, you are also changing the kernel to whatever came with the ROM. Is that correct? This is my first Android device and that's the only thing that still kinda confuses me.

I also wanted to add that all the information I've needed I've found by simply using the search feature in this thread. This is my first post in this subforum. I can't believe the amount of repeated questions!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sumo911:
That is correct. StarBurst 1.8 is bundled with an experimental build of LostKernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
Try this fix. I used to recommend a similar fix for the EVO on MIUI. After doing this, my GPS locks in about 3 seconds on the road. Sitting in my living room right now, raining outside and lock took less than 30 seconds.

So trying to go from 1.5 to 1.8 really messed my entire phone up. I have tried a million ways to get it back and the only way has been to go to the old v4.x.x.x cwm and restore an old backup I had on my internal memory. That worked but it is an old rom and I wanted 1.8 so I copied it onto the phone and then proceeded to flash it in cwm. Everything looked like it flashed fine but when the phone reboot it was just stuck on the triangle screen. I did everything exactly like the op said and even did a factory restore in cwm prior to trying to get 1.8 to install.

I now have tried restoring through odin to get back to stock and nothing works. I can't even get into cwm on my phone...it's like it disappeared.

This one worked before...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bones8229:
thnx PhantomHacker. really like the 1.8 w/ ICS theme. i flashed 1.7 for about a 24hrs before 1.8 released so i cant really do a good comparison but havent run into any issues. Except i did get LOS twice yesterday but havent had it again since. And i also wish i could figure out how to change the Boot Animation. It also seems like my battery dies fairly quickly even after wiping battery stats, but i wifi tether and listen to pandora for most of the day so its possibly my fault. keep up the good work.

I have now tried all the odin versions possible. 100% stock with no root...odex and deodex with root. Nothing is working. It goes through odin 100% fine and says it completes with success then the phone reboots and just stits on the triangle screen and doesn't do anything. I can't get into cwm either. This makes no sense why this isn't working for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:

try pulling the battery for 5 min or so then back to odin making sure to flash using pda with nothing but reboot selected.

Did that and it still isn't working. I really think I messed this phone up somehow. Is it possible to fully brick these?

I am gonna try and let it sit overnight and try again in the morning.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:
It is possible to fully brick one. But if you can get the phone into Odin mode and the computer to see it it should be fixable.

Usually the only true brick is if you can't get it into Odin mode at all.

Maybe try a different tar file.

a little help please

I searched this thread for an answer but it's soooo long I may have missed it. I flashed the Starburst rom to my Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch yesterday and got stuck in bootloop. I redid it and everything was fine. Got all my apps working and got all my contacts on the phone, everything works fine. I tried to make a phone call and when you try to make the call (not accessing the contact, but actually try to make the call) I get Android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. I can do anything else with the phone with no issues, it's only when I try to make a call. Text messages and email is fine only making phone calls give me the error. I used cwm and restored back to a stock rom and everything is fine but I'd really like to use the Starburst rom. Can you please tell me what I may have done wrong or what I can do to fix the issues if I put Starburst back and the problem happens again. I apologize if this isn't the right place to ask this or if it's been covered and I overlooked it. Please overlook my ignorance, I'm new to the whole root and custom rom thing but I'm picking it up quickly. Thanks for your help.

David

In case anyone needs this information to better diagnose what I may have done wrong this is what I did:

Downloaded Starburst rom to computer

Made nandroid backup

Transfered rom to phone sd

used cwm and format mounts and storage, wipe user cache, wipe system data, wipe dalvik (sp) cache

I did the wipes 3x each.

did the "select zip from phone sd" thing

flashed Starburst rom to phone.

The first time when I got the bootloop I didn't do the mounts and storage but that part took care of that the second time. Thanks agian for your help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dtwconsulting:
Could only manage 4376 :( That said, all I did was increase the maxcpu to 1.6
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] azr6:
So I did this and restored cwm. I went in and flashed this rom again but it again just sits on the triangle screen. I did everything it said to...

Format System Under Mounts and Storage (Important!) and Wipe Data.

Wipe cache

Wipe dalvik

Flash

What does it mean by wipe data? I just did a factory restore to be safe. Or does it mean format /data too?

So I went back and got the old cwm again (it changed to v5 when I tried to install v1.8 of the rom) and I restored my old nanroid. That works and the phone is operational again.

Question is now how do I go about getting this new v1.8 without screwing everything up again and having to go through this mess? I never had any issues before with all the previous versions of starburst so it's weird I am getting them now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vgamer4550:
Possible Wifi/GPS issues...

Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Its hard to say when this started, but I have noticed it most recently since updating to 1.8.

I use Google Listen alot, and I always go into My Listen Items and click refresh to see whats new. Most of the time I am on Wifi, and when I first connect things work great. After a little while though, the Wifi stops working.

I click on the refresh button, a refresh icon appears in the upper left corner of the screen, but the refresh process doesnt actually happen.

I have found that if I turn off the WiFi, let it sit for a couple seconds, and then turn the Wifi back on and click refresh again, then all of a sudden things are working again.

I would think that this is a Google Listen issue, except that I get the same issues with the Android Market. Again, on Wifi, I'll launch the market and it will not Connect....says No Connection and has a Grey Retry button. If I turn off Wifi and turn it back on after a couple seconds, then it works again. Just kinda Annoying.

Ive also had issue with Go Weather being able to get a GPS lock to "My Location" so I keep getting error notifications about it. This sounds like it might be a phone issue......Both of these have to deal with Connection so I thought I would relay my experience and see what other thought.

Thanks

Flash this CWM 5.0.2.6 via Odin, boot into recovery and then follow the steps above exactly as they are shown. (You can probably skip the nandroid at this point as you won't have anything important to nandroid.)

We can't really do anything except wait, unrooted phones are getting it to. Fix will have to come from Sprint or Sammy.
