Yep, most definitely failed the spin test. Unfortunately, as I'm heading on 2 weeks of business travel Monday, I'm going to have to fork out the money to Batteries Plus for whatever brand they're carrying.

Maybe we need to get enough people screaming at Samsung about this one. This seems to be a design fault if we're seeing a large failure rate right around the 1 year mark.

Considering Trying Re-Calked. Thoughts?

I've been a Calkulin user since day one. Nothing compares. I recently had some issues (with my battery) that led me to venture out and explore for a possible solution. I now have a new battery, Calkulin's 3.0 and all my problems are gone. Battery life is amazing and so is performance, but I'm itching to get out of GB. Is it worth it to scratch this itch or is this as good as it gets? Cuz, I've got it pretttttttttttttttttty good.

---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 PM ----------

It is undoubtedly the battery that is to blame for all of our problems (for those owners who had their phone for over a year). I just bought a new OEM battery and installed Calk's 3.0 and I've never had it better.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crkdslider:
I'm going to say that you should venture out into the world of Jelly Bean or ICS. You like the stock feel I would recommend the newest GA10 release. It is stock TouchWiz like Calks ROM and the battery life is really good. If you want to go the AOSP route I would suggest PACman by Sniper. For ICS I would ONLY recommend Snipers Lightweight ROM. It is unbelievable.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] optimummind:
In my experience, the best battery Jellybean experience was with FL16. With my normal usage, I would get 3 hrs and 45 mins of screen time from a full charge. When I flashed to GA10, it went down to 2 hrs & something. Not wanting to go back to GB, although I love the Calkulin 3.0 for its smoothness and long battery life, I went ahead and purchased a 3500mah extended battery. Now I get > 6 hrs screen time!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris-allen:

As of late been crashing, losing calls. Since there's no update here, I've installed a JB ROM, and it's great so far.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] willtexas44:
That makes a lot of sense.

All I care about is stability and battery life. Right now I'm happy. I get about 3 hrs screen on-time and can squeeze out almost 30 hours of battery life on one charge. I seriously doubt it can get better than that. If someone can beat that and they have no FC's and all radios work like a charm, let me know.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] optimummind:
With the FL16 Jellybean, the highest screen I got was 3 hrs and 45 mins, with 3% charge left. And it was very stable & everything just worked. To get even more screen time out of the phone, I recently purchased the Gorilla Gadgets 3500mah extended battery and now I get 6+ hrs of screen time. If you wanna try Jellybean properly, I suggest going with an extended battery.

I do wish Calkulin was back in the E4GT community though. His v3.0 is so awesome. I ran his rom from May of 2012 to December with no problems and awesome battery life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] willtexas44:
I'm willing to at least try it. Tell me, do I need to do anything special to convert over to JB, considering I'm on JB. And then to switch back, if I'm unhappy. I have a Rogue, CWM custom recovery, EL29 modem, Rogue Gunslinger kernel...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cerj:
It is a good rule to use EL26 or EL29 directboot to flash. Those 2 are the standard, but read the OP carefully, some roms may need a different CWM. If going too and from TouchWiz roms EL26 or EL29 is good. If you want to try a new TouchWiz Jelly, like FL16 or GA10, flash a stock JellyBean oneclick first. Then flash one of the new customs. There is a partition change on the new JB roms, and the oneclicks will set it up correctly. Going from JB back to GB or ICS, I would suggest using a Gingerbread oneclick to repartition back before going to a custom GB or ICS rom. Side note, I have read the Rogue recovery is not suggested to flash certain roms from
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] optimummind:
When I first tried JB, I did it by using the one-click full restore option (stock rooted). Everything went smoothly and had no problems. If you decide to try the extended battery, be sure to calibrate it with the battery calibration app from the Play Store (by Nema) to maximize its full potential.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] third son:
In addition to what cerj said you need to use a jellybean modem for fk23, fl04,or ga10 or your data won't work
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tygger:
So which is the best modem for v3.0? EL29 or FE22?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
There is no best modem or kernel. Every phone is slightly different even with the exact same setup. You will have to test to see what works best for you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] willtexas44:
Forgive my NOOB-ishness. How do I "flash a one-click JB restore"?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
EL29. But you may have to try out other gb modems to see what works best for you. Look up the modem repository.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bobturismo:
Yeah, this was probably THE best ROM I've had on this phone. The only reason I flashed anything else is I wanted to try the XBOX smartglass and it would only work on ICS, I couldn't get any of the work arounds to work.

I started having probs with the ICS ROM and just decided to flash a JB ROM (CM 10.1), I wasn't a big fan of CM stuff even though everyone seems to go GA-GA over it, but there wasn't a lot of choices at the time and this one is really good. (compared to the other devices that I had CM experience with).

I'm running FE22 with it and not having any problems that I can tell and my 3G speed is phenomenal, but Sprint is also "fixing" all the towers in the metro area while they upgrade the 4g I assume, so who knows.

Unfortunately CM doesn't have all the tweaks that I wish it had, specifically the one's that this ROM has. This ROM was definitely the battery life once I did my tweaks, but JB is a little sneaky, now the apps can turn on the GPS even if you have it turned off via the drop down menu, you have to go into your profile settings to turn it off from gapps from using it. So maybe I need to tweak it a little more.

I have to say that I LOVE the upgrades that JB has, you can do so much more from the notification menu and is a lot more intuitive, ICS just seemed like a visual enhancement comparatively.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vadyr56:
+1 to JB props. The JB system is super sexy; I ran Kobridge's GA10 rom for a little while...everything was smooth as butter. I probably could have stuck with it, despite the very few imperfections with the build, but I decided to come back to Calks rom the other day. Nothing beats rock solid stability AND a few days of moderate use for battery life. With heavy use I'm able to get well over 3-4 hours screen time in a day; if it idles most of the time, it lasts days. I think replacing the stock battery with a new Anker really helped too.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moebius01:
Ok, so after running this rom untouched for nearly a year, I think it's time to reflash. Either that, or my phone is about to die. Occasion odd shutdown (replaced battery btw), a few more force closes than normal, and now some funkiness with signal led. When off the charger, red light stays on. But here's the really weird one that makes me wonder if it's deeper. I shut the phone down, not on charger. Red led stayed on, battery icon came up for a moment, the went away, led went blue, the off, battery icon reappeared, red led, off, blue, back, repeat. I popped the battery for a few seconds, and when I put it back in, the loop continued. On reboot, the phone appears normal, except for red led still on.

So, on to the actual reason for the post. If I'm going to flash, considering trying out a jb rom, and was looking for any suggestions. I use this phine for work a lot, so it'd need to be a stable daily driver. Calk's roms were always rock solid, so hoping someone around here can put me on to a good one. Though at present I'm beginning to think I may need to flash back to a stock a relock phone to take in for service...

Absolutely a great suggestion. I'm running kobridge's ROM with the aio mod, csc tweaks, and his aggressive tweak script. Runs like a charm. Battery life is pretty much even with calks3.0...I ran calks for a long time, got spoiled with the 2+ days of battery life with pretty good usage. Try it out.

Oh yes by the way...your issue sounds similar to a problem I had with my phone. Turned out it was a short in the charge/usb port. Sprint replaced the phone :) good luck! Cheers!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moebius01:
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking as well. Gotta remind myself how to flash back to stock and relock. Been a while... The problem was around for a while after just reflashing Calks, but it's gone at the moment. Short seems pretty likely.

So since I have to wait 5-7 days for them to order me a new phone, time to give some jb action a try. Looks like kobridge is my starting point. :) Hey, at least I get to remind myself how to root and all that jazz. At least all this is assuming I can hold a USB connection steady enough to do so.

EDIT: Ok, it's time to ask the noob question of the day (man this is making me feel dumb). So before taking the phone to Sprint, I used the Odin 1 click to take it back to stock rom and locked loader. So I'm sitting on ICS (4.0.4), unrooted, locked. Looking through the Kobridge threads, I see all kinds of instructions for JB to JB upgrades and mobileOdin and a few others, but can't really tell which I should be following. Could you guys point me in the right direction. It seemed much easier in the GB roms where you just had to root it, put CWM on and go.

They should be the same pretty much. GB27 was released officially through Samsung's website and Samsung Kies. Just another option you can go through to get the update. The difference between that, however, is no root; which I will assume you want root. So use either Kobridge or sxtape to get it.
