Can someone point out how to get wireless tether to work again having trouble with it,I know the sprint hotspot is working but I only interested in getting the wireless tether to work again thanks?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ssconceptz:
I think half of the battery issues I hear about as far as ALL devices is user related. I am running this rom as it was flashed and just added a theme. I get great battery life and no LoS and I'm clocked at 1200mhz. If your clocked at 1400 and you never turn off any radios, you deserve the bad battery life you get.

Tried to flash the ics 1.4 theme over starburst 1.8, i wiped cache davlik and formated system then flashed the theme, went to reboot and its stuck on the galaxy s screen. I went back to recovery and im getting all kinds of errors. What can I do to fix this? I do not have a usb cable to fix it with odin because I just moved and lost my cable! I need help!

You turn conpatability mode off under lockscreen then general tab? Why would running compatibility mode eat away at battery life? Just curious, I like to know how things work deep down in. Also I noticed on stock rom with zedomax v3 kernel I got 5-6 hours screen on usage from a charge. Eith 1.7 I about about 4 clocked at 1200mhz. I went to 1.8 and underclocked phone to 800mhz and only got 3 hrs of display on from a charge. I just unchecked compatibility mode under Settings-lockscreen setting-general. Hope it helps. I also only have 3g on. No wifi or anything else and screen set to as dim as I can. All the same settings that got me 5-6hrs dislplay on when using stock rom but not any of star burts
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
Its when you format system. It needs to be done before wiping cache and dalvik. When you format system after wiping cache and dalvik it somehow breaks the way cwm mounts and the only fix is to flash cwm or a kernel with cwm in it. Hopefully our incredible devs will find a way to prevent this in their install scripts as it would save a lot of headaches for people and lots of questions in their threads about this. And by no means am i complaining or demanding this, just throwing this out there as an opinion. :-) and since i am already making this a long and drawn out reply i will ask this, what does formatting system really do and why is it necessary? Just wanting to understand this as we never had to do that with the og epic.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ssconceptz:
You can do it there but I prefer to download spare parts in market and do it there then reboot as the lockscreen menu in this rom hasn't been the most reliable as some things just simply dont work yet. I can't explain it but it drains power on the display level and it will make old apps appear smaller on the screen, but if you have any apps that it does that to you just have to re-enable it but there is only one app I use that has to run in compatibility mode to fit the screen. I think while it is enabled it is running in every app even when it doesnt need to, thus draining battery through display. Give it a shot, its worked wonders on every device Ive ever had.

FYI 3G uses more battery than WiFi so when possible turn off 3G in Network Settings and enable WiFi.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
Try without formatting then and see what happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jermzz:
See this is where I'm confused. Display should always be the highest % on this list. If display is lowered then AOS is raised. How do you decyphur the difference between AOS and display being the high percentage of your battery use. Is there somewhere where it actually says how much power each is using specifically instead of just an over all percentage? I think that would be much more accurate in discovering power consumption...

for esample.... ohh, i have 40% display and 30% AOS.. OOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGG I have the AOS bug, I NEED A NEW PHONE!!!!!!

yeah...

Bur wifi on this phone slaughters the battery because its always searching. My wifi signle is very strong and 5 ft away butbits drains battery like there's a hole in the battery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jermzz:
this. when i use 3g, though i sleep for 8 hours, I still get 30+ hours. on wifi I get like 25. WiFi is broken on this phone it seems lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
3G usually gets better battery life since it shuts down when not in use. Usually wifi is not set to sleep. Plus the wifi has always drained more than 3G on all phones
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lonewuhf:
So I'm confused. I flashed the rom and I still have all the apps that he said were removed. Social hub, sprint bloat, kies, etc are all there after flashing. Does anyone have any idea why?

I don't know if this is related, but I also can't get any roms to flash via the external SD card. The internal storage is what's detected by cwm. If I navigate to the external SD card it shows no zip files there. I'm wondering if it's not allowing a full wipe for some reason.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jermzz:
redownload and follow steps in first post. Usually I flash the rom then reflash the kernel I want VIA ODIN. never had a problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lonewuhf:
I have redownloaded then followed all the steps. I've been flashing roms since back in the HTC hero days so I've gone through all the basic troubleshooting. The kernel isn't the problem as that has nothing to do with what apps are installed through the rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Sounds like something isnt deleting something. Try using every wipe command in cwm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lonewuhf:
Thought I did, I'm re-redownloading it and going to go through every menu in the damn CWM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Will of fire:
Or you can make your own rom. Devs work on roms for fun on there free time. Don't bash our few Devs we have. If you don't like it don't flash it. Keep up the great work phantom. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skandranon314:
Sound like CWM version 4x that was going around for awhile on our phones. Before cwm 5x it didn't see the eternal sd card at all. What version do you have?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lonewuhf:
That was it, updated CWM and it sees the SD card.

I'm still having the same problem though. I still have the stock apps for some reason. Steps I took to install ROM:

1) Factory reset through mounts and storage.

2) Boot into recovery, wiped data 3 times.

3) Wiped Cache 3 times.

4) Wiped Dalvik Cache 3 times.

5) Installed zip from SD card, stable_epic_starburst_10.22.11_v1.8.zip.

6) Reboot phone (didn't want to install any other themes or anything).

Again, when I check my apps drawer I have Kies Air, Media Hub, Social Hub, Sprint Hotspot, Sprint ID still there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skandranon314:
Uninstall them via titanium backup. And or look for them in the zip and delete then before flashing.

I havent had a problem with the honeycomb lockscreen. Coming from a fresh install and using go launcher not that i think it matters...

Are you overclocking at all?

also, when you guys press the search button...does it vibrate twice? im not sure if it does that by default, or it's an app i installed causing it. not really a problem, just curiosity gnawing at me.

Thanks!

I'm aware of the sensitivity of the proximity/light sensor however, I found stock to handle auto-brightness better. Phantom did mention in the list of features that he modified the auto brightness to conserve battery.

If Phantom would add an option to select a range in which auto-brightness operates, kind of like MIUI or an itouch, That would be awesome.

I upgraded from 1.6 to 1.8 but it did the same thing on 1.6, which was a fresh install. I'm also not overclocked.

Weird problem with Maps and Navigation

I have tried it with the last two versions and the problem keeps cropping up.

Here is the problem.

If I have navigation going and it is leading me to a location and I then turn the screen off to preserve battery the Navigation should continue to operate with the screen off. Instead after a few minutes I will turn the screen back on and maps and navigation have been killer/Crashed and I have to go back in and re-start the navigation. I have tried this several times and it happens over and over.

Can anyone else see if this happens to them as well?

If "it doesn't work" does that mean it just doesn't boot up properly, or apps don't work, or what? For some reason I have a super battery drain now, and I don't know if that's the same problem I've already had, but escalated, or if it's because I restored data (doubtful, but just though I'd ask)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
I don't know it could be related. Although this may be a function of the kernel rather than this ROM.

I just had this happen, on the stock ROM with LoStKernel. I had wifi on here in my office, and went downstairs to walk next door to the bank, leaving wifi range obviously. However, this time my phone didn't pickup 3G like it always did prior to root and flashing the custom kernel. I toggled wifi off and nothing changed. Under status my phone said it was "In service", but under PRL it said "Not available".

So I came back upstairs, toggled wifi back on and connected, then toggled it off again, but still no 3G or PRL. So I changed to Airplane mode. When I toggled off and came out of Airplane mode I had the LOS circle with a line through it and could not establish voice or data over the network, so I had to reboot.

Personal pref. I run mine on conservative and my max mhz is 800 and everything is undervolted. Idk why people overclock and waist battery when at 800-1000mhz runs just as smooth. If your at 1400mhz and not undervolted im literally getting almost 30-50% better battery life than them with the same smooth scroling and near identicle openning off app speed. Idk seems silly to me when the Dev of this rom combined with the insaine bandwidth of this cpu and low clocks delivers great perfomance at normal clock and underclocked. That how well this setup is with 1.8s tweaks

OP I notice that every single time I restart my phone it drops 10% battery. Is this your rom or the kernal or just a bug that samsung has to fix? I could restart my phone 9x real fast and be at 10% battery within 5minutes. I calibrated at full charge like it says to. Just curious. Thanks again for the best rom I have ever had on a device!
