[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cordell12:
Dont use Google Voice, flashed modem.bin about 6 or 7 times while verifying md5's, tried all roms with all kernel combos available, restored to stock/no root, tons of factory resets, re-provisioned by sprint (twice), cant run a logcat because phone doesnt sleep while connected to USB and problem is while sleeping, all of this was done/tried before I even posted what I think may have caused the issue. All was fine before I flashed the EG12, I know this as my phone rings about 10 to 15 times a day during work hours. The day after EG12 (flashed at night) phone calls dropped by half, the second day I noticed a couple times that while awaking my device it was instantly ringing, only to go to voicemail/missed call almost immediately. Once I got home my wife was calling me on my device, after no answer she called the landline and asked why I wasnt picking up on my cell. As soon as we hung up I started calling my phone, didnt take long to figure out it wasnt ringing while in sleep mode. The only way I can say for 100% sure that it is the EG12 is to have EG30, since we dont there is no way to say for sure. However what I CAN say is before EG12 I had ZERO issues with not getting my calls when the phone was asleep/screen off. I am not trying to bash you or anything you do for the community, you are taking this all wrong. All devices function a bit different and perhaps the EG12 is not playing right with all devices, thats why some are having the issues and some are not.

Also

Could it be that this thread has caused people to test their own devices for phone not ringing while the screen is off issues and they have the same trouble? That may explain why your thread exploded with EG30 requests.

And whoever posted EG12 as EG30 didnt help the situation either!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ajamer:
Can anyone on EG30 and reporting good battery life see if Android OS is still the number one use of battery life?

Does the new modem finally fix this issue?

I returned my release day phone over the 8 hour battery life knowing there has to be a glitch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:
Your release day phone had the eg30 as far as I can tell the aos bug is completely unrelated to the modem.

The only way anyone has an eg12 modem is if they flashed it themselves. And should have nothing to do with the aOS bug.

And thanks to those posting their system info keep them coming!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dee_zee:
defective hardware?

I have sent my phone to samsung to fix the wake-up on sleep issue.

i am afraid the new EG30 baseband(after samsung fixed it) will resolve the missed call issue, but it will have the LoS issue...

Suprisingly, the kernel I got from bubby323 didn't have the LoS issue before I sent to phone to samsung.

Update:

Received an email from samsung repair center: my phone is on hold, waiting for a part.(E-mail didn't specify what kind of part, i assume it is hardware, not software.)

to fix the wake-up on sleep issue need a hardware replace?

defective hardware on the original phone???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cordell12:
Very interested to hear the results!

I do agree LOS will still be there, but also agree EG30 will solve the wake-up!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:
for what it's worth... after some more random testing.

From full sleep unplugged screen off ect.

if i set the cpu to a minimum of 200mhz my eg12 phone will wake from sleep ring half a ring and go to voicemail (not nearly enough time to answer) at 500 mhz min gives aprox 3-4 rings. this is with stock voltages.

the other eg30 phone sitting next to it with the same exact settings same rom /kernel/installed apps ect. the eg30 phone always wake and gives 5-6 rings.

take that for what it's worth.

yes i followed the same procedure flashing both phones. using the same sdcard on each so files identical.

yes i updated prl and profile on both.

both seem to notify of emails and texts no problem though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:
also another random note.

if your concerned you may be missing calls. you can install google voice and have it use your sprint number (you even keep your orig google voice number for 90 days and can go back anytime)

this way google voice will at least alert you of any calls you may be missing.

may help until we can get this resolved.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
If the EG12 is not playing right with all the devices, then it's a problem with the device and not with the EG12. Perhaps the more prudent method, since there's obviously data that supports it working, would be to check out other factors. Has anyone attempted to see if there's different device hardware versions? The Evo had 4 different hardware versions..maybe we started with two.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:
I've been looking for that too everything I've seen points to one version d710. 10

If anyone has something different I've seen no evidence of it.

Like anything else though its possible.

Anyone have a different hardware version?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
No, currently there is only one hardware version...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
Alternatively, it could just be a device to device issue. Example, on the Evo 4g, some phones could play with will aggressive undervolting, cfs, sbc, etc etc and some phones could not. There was no correlation on anything. My gf and I both had hardware 0004, the same rom and the same kernel with the same PRL, radio and wimax versions but hers would random reboot and freeze constantly.

Without a large enough test base, then no one can conclusively say what the problem is. Unless someone wants to provide some logcats to see what's causing the issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cordell12:
You cant logcat it, if the device is plugged into USB it doesnt so into sleep mode. It is obviously effecting quite a few people, though I agree about it being a phone to phone basis. It seems as time goes on more users of EG12 are noticing the issue though, these threads are raising awareness and causing users to check for the problem of there devices. Why we cant pull modems from CDMA phones is beyond me but Konane confirmed this in a PM the other day. Like the OP stated raising the min CPU clock will allow the device to awake at about a half ring of or so before the call is sent to voicemail. Not really a fix but at least you know you had a call, as without that half ring the device does not even show a missed call.

Thinking about a logcat, the device doesnt seem to even registar that a call is coming through, so logcat would be useless no? If logcat picked up on it then the device would know a call is incoming and wake, the not showing a missed call when a call is missed tells me it is not even acknowledging a incoming call at all. Modem is not picking up on them for whatever reason, and who knows why this is only a issue on one device but not the other.

/end ramble :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Can you use alogcat app and just have it constantly running then try plugging the phone in and try to reproduce the issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cordell12:
I wasnt aware of a app the does logcat, will it work while phone is sleeping, or prevent phone from sleeping? The calls are not coming through only while phone is sleeping. Sprint replaced mine so I cant test the app, I took my device in the day I noticed it wasnt receiving call while sleeping, after restoring to stock and still having the issue of course. Later on that night while still trying to fix the issue is when i realized the EG12 modem install was the likely cause. Maybe someone who hasnt gotten a replacement or sent their device off can do the logcat app to see if it will sleep while running?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:
I had my first (and only at the moment)report of this happening on an eg30 device today..

the user was running starburst 1.8

testing some more things out.

hopefully it really has nothing to do with the modem.bin and is just some random combo of files.

still need more reports to help us see what's goin on.

i've got some logs brewing on multiple devices.

once i get them all organized and have a chance to peek i'll pass them along to those that want them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:
after just a bit more playing flashing every kernel i could find.

on my eg12 device some kernels seem to not let the phone wake up and some do.

(i still don't ever actually miss a call just get the 1 ring to voicemail.)

on my eg30 device some kernels give 5-6 rings some give 3-4

i have yet to have my eg30 miss a call or go straight to voicemail.

if your phone still gets no calls try a few different kernels. remember to reset profile and prl then reboot.

for me the latest lostkernelexp+ seems to work well on both.

zedomax's stock kernel seems to work well also.

which kernel works best seems to depend on what rom i'm running.

as a side note it seems my eg12 device gets marginally better battery life than my eg30 but that could be any number of factors. (though both are always running the same software)

however the db of my eg30 device is once again marginally better (not really enough to make a difference)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lafester:
what rom are you running?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:
Currently starburst 1. 8 with the included loslkernel seems to be working for me

As long as I don't underclock the min. Speed
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire118:
guys..any new information regarding eg30 or eg12 bugs?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:
Mostly just what's posted in this thread. I started getting reports of it happening with eg30 also. And since we have no alternative modem at the moment I kind of gave up the search. I did find some things that helped if your getting no calls read above for most of them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire118:
yea man, this issue with the radio is very depressing..its cutting into personal life..far as missing importants calls and things of that nature, it sucks bro :(..Still an excellent phone at the end of the day
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRickSS:
Here are my two tests with different kernels. Both with basically the same result. I also tried SetCPU and raised my minimum frequency to 500Mhz (and even up to 900) with no improvement.

#1

baseband: EG12

Kernel: 2.6.35.7LoStKernel+

Build: midNIGHT ROM v2.2 NOCIQ ET4G

how often does this problem occur: Mostly consistent. Whenever screen is off and unplugged, no ring.

#2

baseband: EG12

Kernel: 2.6.35.7_ZedomaxEpicTouchKernelv3-g165267b-dirty

Build: midNIGHT ROM v2.2 NOCIQ ET4G

how often does this problem occur: Mostly consistent. Whenever screen is off and unplugged, no ring.

#3

baseband: EG12

Kernel: 2.6.35.8-LoSKernelExp+

Build: StarBurst 10.27.11 V1.9

how often does this problem occur: Mostly consistent. Whenever screen is off and unplugged, no ring.

EDIT: Added test #3 with StarBurst and LoSKernelExp+.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:
The only other thing I could really recommend is going back to the stock Roman and kernel and trying that hopefully we can get an update soon and this problem goes away

I've been hearing of this only g30 devices also so I'm not actually 100 certain its actually totally the wg12 fault though that seems to make the problem worse.

But at the moment there's NP real sure fix
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRickSS:
Staying awake seems to help

I found a workaround, but be warned that it surely cause some battery drain. I have only tested it for a few hours, but it is working good enough for me to try it for a while.

If I force the phone to stay awake, it always rings. In my limited testing it seems to ring consistently using "Always Awake" (ROOT Required) by T2K269 in the market. My phone is using config #3 above, and now rings fine if the program is enabled. I can tell that it is also draining the battery faster, but it is hard to judge how badly yet.

Thankfully this seems to be plugging the eg12 modem bug for me so far. It was consistently failing before I tried it and now consistently works. I have two batteries and work at a computer most of the time, so I can plug in if needed anyway. I'd rather drain it faster and not miss any calls.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:
Anothr thing you could do If your going to have it never sleep find one of the cpu clocking opgions in the market that lets you set profiles. And set the screen of profile to 200 200. Shoulx sa e some bat life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRickSS:
Here a quick update on battery results so far today. I received at least 2 calls while off the hook and phone off, so my workaround does seems to be working. Interesting that the battery monitor does NOT show the phone is awake the entire time. ??? Whatever...it seems to be working for me and that's all I care about.

Attached are my battery stats after almost 5 hours. It is worth mentioning that I have a 1500 mA battery from an Epic 4G, so it is smaller than the stock 1800 battery and thus my normal timeline is shorter than a stock battery will show.

I haven't tried adjusting setCPU yet, which might help more. And I did spend about 15 minutes mucking with my album art. :)

Honestly it doesn't seem to be much different battery life than what is normal for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:
good call i'm sure this will help some people out.

still don't know what the deal really is with eg12

some people get no calls or missed notifications at all when phone is asleep

some do.

the worst thing i can get my eg12 phone to do no matter what kernel / rom im running is the one ring to voicemail. so i guess i'm lucky :)

can't even get my eg30 to do that though (all other software the same)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickshan:
thanks KCRickSS that app solved my problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cordell12:
@KCRickSS Nice Job!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dee_zee:
Finally I got my phone back yesterday.

Samsung replaced the EG12 with EG30 bin, solved the wake-up issue. But LOS appears again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] random45:
how long did it take to go and come back?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dee_zee:
About two weeks, but most of the time, based on samsung email, "waiting for parts to come", "after the part replaced, it then fixed".

I guess they were waiting for the EG30 modem bin file???

Probably not the modem hardware itself.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cordell12:
So just as we thought. I hope that quiets the nay -sayers, that EG12 has nothing to do with the calls not coming through while sleeping. Perhaps Samsung will leak the file knowing we need it, @Cyanogen did you hear that? LoL

Thanks for giving the update!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] random45:
I personally was stupid for flashing EG12 on my phone after reports of someone in this forum giving them good battery life. After flashing kernel back and forth, I was able to get 90% of all calls to come in. The rest, i'm relying on Google voice to help me keep track of missed calls.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dee_zee:
hey, guys. for those who have eg12 file, why don't you to have samsung fixed it? it took a while for me to fix mine, as they were waiting for the modem.bin file to come in.( BTW, my phone was sent to plato,TX)

Since they have the file already, it shouldnt take long to fix it.

but i would recommended you flush everthing back to original(besides modem version) in case samsung gave you hardtime when you talk to them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frkkeene@gmail.com:
I had bricked my phone and had someone resurrect it and add Starburst ROM. I have the no phone call in sleep mode issue. Here is my info:

baseband: S:D710.10 S.EG12

Kernel: 2.6.35.8-lostkernelexp+

Build: Starburst 10.30.11 v1.9.5

how often does this problem occur: NEVER
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
I sent mine in for repair and they gave it back to me without eg30. Needless to say problems still there lol.

I thought theyd reflash the modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LostHero:
ok...not sure what to do...just got my wife this phone (i know a little late to get this one but it was inexpensive and thats what we needed right now) and she is not receiving calls or text messages all the time. she can call me but ill try to call her and it may ring 2 times and go straight to voicemail and no missed call shows up...and at times she will get 20 text messages all at once...it is stock due to the fact i dont know squat about rooting..i have an htc hero and its not rooted either...i probably need to learn but i learn better by someone physically showing me not telling me...anyway, ive searched and cant find anything that makes sense to me...can any of you tell me in plain english what i need to do...like i said i just got the phone..on a side note, got it from walmart dont have the receipt to return/exchange and it has been over 15 days...wish i would have researched this phone before just jumping in and buying something...thanks for any answers!! much appreciated...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lafester:
just take it to a sprint repair store. no reason it should work that way out of the box.
[HD2 General] xlr8me:
Hello all,

Just been in store to look at new phone to replace my HD2. Unfortunately, nothing compares and so the hd2 continues to defy its age. I did like htc sensation it has excellent whites compared to galaxy s2.

I would like to stay with htc but they haven't fixed anything so far that surpasses the monstrous hd2. Even scrolling on the sensation was laggy and me thinks android sux..

So long live the hd2 you have given me android cyanogen mod on sd card absolutely fast and even faster than new phones and I still continue with wm6.5

I wish microsoft supported this platform. It's the closes thing to windows desktop and had so much potential...They were idiots thankfully we have xda..

Hope others share their thoughts..

2 year old phone and beating the crap outta android and ios

Galaxy nexus looks nice but meh android ics..

Typed on my heavily tweaked and beautiful browser opera 9.7 with wm keyboard..
[HD2 General] beileroord:
well since u think android suxx u might want to look for a 'nix ' phone ?

hxx://tuxmobil.org/phones_linux.html (sorry but restrictions.. made me change it
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Well have to agree with you, WM6.5.x versions was showing the way forward but MS dropped it :-O . WM6.5 is my prefered platform & has far better mail handling & office doc handling of any Mobile OS & some of the best quality apps.

WM platform is the only true smartphone OS ever made. Platform functions perfectly for all my needs & is standard issue at my Company.

All new staff are issued HD2 or Blackstone as we had too many problems with Android users messing up their setting or downloading bad apps while abroad & calling IT for support ...
[HD2 General] xlr8me:
Well its weird that the HTC sensation and evo3D all lag when flicking the screen.

Meanwhile, Samsung's galaxy s2 has horrible whites and I turned the browser brightness to full and still had horrid whites more a grey/yellow hue.

Not sure what's going on but android has serious issues and compatibility problems with different phones. Plus there is too much variables in that market.

I even tried Motorola and that had a good screen but looked cheaper than the HTC and Samsung versions.

I guess I will wait to see what Galaxy Nexus is like in hand.. i.e. if it ever comes here in the shops..
[Vibrant General] DJ_MiX:
Need help I unlock my phone by code sent by t-mobile it worked fine.

Then I odin back to stock since CM7 was not working right.

When I odin back to stock I also clear the internal phone storage from under settings/ sd card.

Now when I boot up with at&t card and have to enter unlock code so I enter it but it says unlock network unsucessfull.

why doesn't the code work it used to work?

also does it have anything to do with clear phone storage and missing efs folder?

How do I get back the efs folder?
[Vibrant General] DJ_MiX:
I solved it. I ran a market app galaxy S unlock

gave me a code of #FFFFFF say go to next step and backup my efs than patch it to unlock sim.. so I drag the efs folder to root and looks like all the efs files are back
[HTC EVO 3D] thebeast614:
Now I know benchmarks are not that accurate but I figured I would ask about this anyway and see what everyone else thinks...

First, whenever I run linpack I only score anywhere between 12 and 16 overclocked @ 1.8...even my og Evo got about 40 so just wanted some input on that...

And second, when I run quadrant the first 12 tests go real slow but them I seem to still score from 2500-3000 but when I looked at the system info it said my phone was only a single core...kinda thought it was strange...here's the screen shot so you can see what I'm talking about

Just a couple questions I had but not really urgent...still, any input is much appreciated

Sent from my MIUI'd 3VO (Finally switched)
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
I am guessing that you have the CPU overclocked too much and it is choking on the benchmarks. Try lowering your clock to 1500 and see if you get the same results.
[HTC EVO 3D] dkdude36:
htc phones have always fallen short on benchmarks dont worry it doesnt rlly say anything about real life performance. yeh it says one core you have 2 is it using both for the test? the world may never know
[HTC EVO 3D] hitman4274:
Yea looks like it isn't picking up second core for testing, hut the second core shouldn't be on all the time anyways, look for a dual core supported benchmark,

I believe cf bench is good for dual core,

And yea linpack borks when oc to far,

[HTC EVO 3D] rockerdudelive:
not to hijack the thread, but i didn't want to start a new post, and can't post in the developers section yet.

I just flashed myns warmtwopointthree and when running nenamark 2 i get about 20fps, I got about 26 on stock before root. I haven't messed with the cpu yet as i just flashed it, but i was wondering if anyone knows whats up with it.

I just don't want to sift through 2,500+ replies to find out. i read in the latest release notes that the gpu was overclocked but i'm getting worse performance. I wanted higher performance so i chose that rom. Anyone know why?
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Unfortunately most apps are not multithreaded which means they're only going to use one core anyway. So if you want to see how your average app will perform, Quadrant is actually pretty good because it is written like most apps: for a single core.

If you want a benchmark more indicative of what the hardware is actually capable of, a multi-core test like CF Bench or SmartBench 2011 is in order. Unfortunately, I've found that the governors on most ROM's are not up to the task and they actually slow things down quite a bit so if you want max performance (numbers in the tests), you need to use SetCPU or a similar tool and choose the "performance" governor otherwise the phone will be jumping around at various clock speeds for all the tests. I've tried the "lag free", "smartass" and all the governors and none of them (on any ROM I've tested) truly know how to keep the CPU at your max frequency even when doing the demanding tasks that the benchmarks throw at it.
