I think you meant to reply to my question about what kernel you're using. If so ..

Then there you go. Gosh, I can't help but feel like a broken record today. Flash a stock kernel like http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1349573 over your existing kernel and watch your LOS issues magically disappear (or at least drop off significantly).

Sounds like a network issue to me. I'm on the same setup as you on a clean install and my texts are sending just fine.

Is there a way to turn off the "What's new in Gmail" popup that shows up every time I start it up?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clayginn:
only issue on 1.5a that I have had IS LOS 2 OR 3 TIMES A DAY. just UPDATED THE MODEM So we will see.

But awesome Rom and thanks for the great work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
That should only show up once after an update or clearing data on the app
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
Fixes text. Had messaging off at start.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] axiapc:
So what options do we have for those like me with EG31 ????
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
EG12.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] axiapc:
Can u link me to the correct one pal?? TIA
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
just so we're clear you're talking modem right? If so, it's in the OP EG12-30 (same as EG30).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] axiapc:
Yes Modem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Guillo1:
I just did the hands free activation and it did not fix my phone. I can still make or recieve calls but no data service

guess I'm going to have to restore my phone

Now I'm really in deep **** I just restored my phone and I still don't have data service. What did I do wrong? Is there a setting that maybe I messed up on. I have the 3G setting on. My phone cannot connect to server, no internet access, text. The only thing that works is the phone.

What else can I do???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] black7:
Had my first LOS as well, multiple times today. Each time in the middle of a call and it dropped the call.

On 1.5a + EG31 here as well. Undervolted 100 on included Kernel. Will try the STOCK kernels tonight and see if that helps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
Well your options are getting limited but I would suggest reflashing the modem first, then maybe the rom and last resort flashing one of the stock roms through Odin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] expertzero1:
The rom has nothing to do with Los.........
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Guillo1:
just noticed that the modem did not restore so I will go back to the old EG30 which I believe is the 12
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
Before going back to EG12, try flashing a stock kernel to see if it helps your issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evolart:
The kernel it uses obviously does.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] expertzero1:
No **** sherlock.... Most or all kernels are affected by Los....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Guillo1:
Have another BIG problem now..... My phone will not go into odin mode. I've tried it like 4 times and it just boots up. I does kinda boot up twice but instead of going into odin it just boots normally. I don't know what to do now. I did everything exactly like it was supposed to be done. I'm open to suggestions
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evolart:
Except for stock for me anyways. Never had an issue until installing this rom / kernel combo. Hopefully rogue *stock* helps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
Download quick boot from the market, it has that in it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jermzz:
I had to go back to 1.1... nothing works for me but that..

I installed 1.5a multiple times on wipes and after about an hour, I lose everything on my screen but the status bar and lockscreen apps. Really bad when I'm at work and I cant do anything but go to Camera and Sound settings.

EDIT: or apps would randomly close before I could use them (not even force close, just disappear and go back to home screen) IDK if it's my phone, or something I'm doing wrong. Im on EG31, full wipes and installing the bare rom 1.5a.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Guillo1:
I have no access to the market or any function requiring the internet
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
There is currently no way to get back to eg30
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
No cwm either?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Guillo1:
I'm at home now and wifi works so I'm DL quick boot right now. Does quick boot take you to odin and cwm. I haven't tried to get to cwm yet with the buttons.

it was taking really long to DL quick boot so I decided to try cwm and yes I do have CWM access. What can I do?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
Try restoring a backup if you haven't already. And quick boot is a small program so I would try dl that again. That will give you access to Odin mode, which is called bootloader in the app.

Edit: while in recovery try what churnology suggested and flash a kernel if you have one on one of your cards
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
He's right, but he should have stated it differently. It would be more accurate to say "all kernels built from the source code Samsung provided". I'm very sure a stock kernel will solve your LOS problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Guillo1:
ok now I have access to odin ans CdM, what should I do?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
ODIN the Stock EG31 TAR and start back from a fresh install and take it from there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
Totally agree. Stop the bleeding first and go from there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sad_bastard:
Does anyone know a way to tweak the 4g sleep policy, it seems it sleeps/disconnects very quickly once I load a page then when switching to another page it just fails to reconnect and drops it or takes longer than usual.

looks on my settings with ##3282 and on the 4g settings on the wireless menu but nothing.

Anyine?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oxeneers:
I loved this ROM until I saw how awful the Messaging app color bubbles were. The modified yellow one looks like a neon green and literally hurts my eyes. The notification bar icons are awful and do not go with the rest of the theme at all. For example, the "silent" icon is bigger than the rest of the icons on the right. It just looks aesthetically awful.

Will stick with stock for now, as I had LoS with this ROM/kernel combination as well. Oh well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
seriously man, you could say your not a fan of the theme and not have to be a d*&che bag about it. I am all for telling it straight but some people are just oblivious. How about flashing one of the THEME's built for this EXACT rom? Its pretty easy to be an arm-chair QB around here, lets not get carried away.

But I guess that is what the ignore option is for.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Guillo1:
this Rom with the nothing but honey theme is Bad Ass, too bad I'm having some troubles with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
Not true at all. Rogue Stock 1.1 resolved LoS for me AND maintained the excellent AOS control of the renegade kernel. Been on it two days now with no LoS, no AOS issues and superior battery life. If you can't get the same experience let me know and I can give you some tips.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evolart:
I will have to give the battery some time to adjust. I flashed Rogue Stock 1.1 tonight so we will see if that resolves my LoS issues. Today with original modem, calkulin 1.5a, and the rogue kernel provided with this rom....I was at 30% battery with very minimal usage at the end of my 14 hour work day. Compared to the 60-70% battery I had when everything was stock...that kinda freaked me out. Love the rom though - everything will be excellent if the battery and LoS issues are resolved now.

Also to the rude douche above complaining about the notification bar and message app colors...seriously??! Where is your rom? I have to admit I could do with out the greenish yellow text bubbles but no need to be retarded about it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1BadHEMI:
WOW, just WOW!?

There are plenty of theme's built specifically for this ROM that will take care of that! You could also use 1 of the other available messaging programs in the Market as well.

:confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
I gave you a thanks even though I didn't need help, if I did, pretty much everything i need is right there. well done, and it appears from a phone no less
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
Odd... My AOS issues came back when i flashed Stock 1.1 =/ Did it take a few days to settle or were the changes immediate?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
LOL, thanks. My head was spinning a bit from all the repeat questions and freakouts. I just thought rather than answering each concern 5 or 6 times (not that I have to be the one to answer), I'd be better off putting it all in one post. At least until the page flips and those same people don't bother to read back more than a page or two :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
Ditto. That post was just sexual. It's like flashing 101.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
Just sexual.....damn...lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
For me, it was overnight. My set up is as it appears in my signature and I am having zero LoS, zero AOS issues and very good battery life. I wiped absolutely nothing coming from 1.1 to 1.5a full and I don't mess with any voltage/clocking. The only tweaks I am running are the battery script built in to the ROm and _viperboy_'s LoS Checker script.

Anyone having problems sending a text longer than 160 characters? If I try to send one that's over the 160 characters limit, it will fail to send.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
I haven't tried, but I know this was a limitation of the CDMA network. That said I could send longer texts on my EVO running MIUI. I can test it in the a.m. unless someone else can chime in before then.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mrush:
This is what just did last night and everything is running great:

Eg31 tar and associated pit (since I already had flashed to it prior, I'm there now)

Auto root - install root and chris41g's eg31+cwm5

Flash FORMAT all from Calk

Flash Calk1.5

Flash black venum theme and jet black status bar fix

Transparent status bar through ADB

Flash Calk 1.5 - 1.5a (no wipe)

Through the Auto root method reinstalled chris41g's eg31+cwm5 kernel.

Reinstall apps manually.

So far so good. Running smooth. After every single step I rebooted and let it settle for a few minutes before rebooting into recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rivenfire:
Best ROM i've ran

I just wanna give my appreciation to Calkulin for making this, just installed it after many headache ROM tries, i know its simple but i felt like i was the only one who had to switch signature permissions EVERY freaking time i flashed a ROM ( i dunno..is that normal?)

Anyhow the speed of this thing is amazing, loving the CRT off look, status bar tweaks...all i think i'd want is a nice MIUI unlock mod, any suggestions?

Again BIG mahalo to Calkulin!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
I have the same setup, and wiped from 1.5 to 1.5a with a fresh install. Everything seems to be working well. However, i do have the AOS bug. I have had my phone off the charger for about 2 hours. I am down 4% with no usage, just drove to work and read a couple of reminders. Here is the catch, the android OS is at 61% and the display is 3 minutes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Wow can't believe so deep into this thread that so many people are still having issues with this rom. I must admit I flashed the new modem when it first came out and have been running the new Outlaw 1.1.3 kernel since it came out with no issues. I guess I may be one of the few where flashing the updated radio has actually helped me I guess.

This is a great rom and like others I have been using Calkulins roms since WinMo days and one thing I have learned about flashing is unless everybody has the same problem then its probably something I did... Hey Just_s laid it out lovely for you guys which is sad because there should be less freakin' and more thinking going on... Guys you should make sure you thank him and bookmark his thread before you start posting your freaking out rages...lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Megatr0n.:
So, everyone is saying that these kernels/ROMs don't cause LOS... I've been on the stock firmware and rooted since I had the phone (using bubby's method) and I had a total of 1 LOS in 2 months. I flashed this phone last night with EG31 + CWM method and installed Calkulin 1.5a and I'm staring at an LOS this morning. Is that a coincidence or did one of the things I flash exacerbate the LOS problem?

My phone info:

Kernel: 2.6.35.14-rogue_ET-1.1.3+

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1BadHEMI:
Got a ?

Phone battery died last night on its own. I put it on the charger overnight, turned it back on this morning, and its stuck looping at the lock screen. Has anyone experienced this? I use Go Launcher as my launcher, and it was set as default. Just had to do a restore to get it back. Anyone else?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
Not setting a default launcher was giving users a bootloop at the lockscreen, but you obviously did. But, I know that just last night...go launcher had an update. When there's an update to go launcher, I believe you still have to set it as default again. Not sure if the update would be the cause, but could be.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1BadHEMI:
I think you are right! I had Go Launcher set to auto update not thinking about the obvious! Luckily I had a current backup which made it easy. I have unchecked auto update and we'll see how it goes...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Yes you are right they did have an update yesterday. If anyone else has this problem you can try and delete Go Launcher and any other launchers you may have added by using adb in recovery. This would make it only 1 launcher and theoretically should default to the stock launcher and boot up without an issue. Hopefully it saves someone from having to use an old restore
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
I was getting mad LOS, ghost LOS, and random reboots with the included kernel. Flashed the rogue stock one and out seems to have solved it. YMMV

Thanks. I just found and flashed the stock kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wrceuro:
As I promised, I am back to give you the update on the 1.5a ROM.

So after I went from 1.5 to 1.5a I started having all kind of LoS and battery drain. I could not figure out what was wrong. I updated the modem....Dhooo and started using the phone. It was bad, real bad. LoS every hour, battery would die really fast so the only thing that I did was:

Went in to recovery, wiped cache and dalvik cache and flashed rogue stock kernel 1.1 The phone was still draining battery so I did a full battery calibration and used the phone for 2 days after that. All I can say is WOW!!!!!!

The battery life is great. Today I have been on the phone all day long 2 hours worth of calls screen has been on 80% emails, texts, internet and I have 67% left after 4 hours of heavy use. NO LOS!!!!! I love the rom the wa it is now and trust me I won't be foolish to jump on any new updates.......well maybe I am hahaha. I can't stop flashing sob :mad:

Hope this helps. Let me know if someone needs help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Guillo1:
this question most likely belongs in the question and answer section but I'm posting it here because my problem started after I added this Rom. So flashed back to modem EG12 and I still have no data. This is the message I keep on getting... Error 67: Registration failure.Your Sprint data service username and/ or password may be incorrect. Please try again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lse4:
Quick question when installing a rom does it really matter if the battery is fully charged or almost dying? Does it really have a impact on battery or anything when you install a rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Check just_s's post a few pages back, has good information
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
You can try the Hands Free Activation first. If that doesn't fix it you are probably going to have to give Sprint a call. They have a more involved reset that they can do to provision the phone on their end. You don't need to give them any info about changing modems or being rooted, just stick to the problem you're having.

Also, the EG12 modem is known to cause call issues so you should probably go to that thread and read up.

Error 67: Registration failure.Your Sprint data service username and/ or password may be incorrect. Sounds like maybe your MSID got changed. That is an easy fix over the phone if that is the case. You can go to Settings > About phone >Status and see what is listed under MSID and under User name. If you are long time Sprint user your MSID should be the same as your phone number. If you came from somewhere else or ported your number, it will be different, but it should still look like a phone number. Your User name should match the email address on your account page.

If you are going to do it, make sure you wipe battery stats at the very least, but I personally wouldn't attempt to make any changes on a low battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evolart:
I didn't know that non-HTC Androids didn't benefit from the typical drain / fully charge cycles and deleting the battery stats. Good little article and it has seemed to help me today so far...not dropping 10% an hour with almost no phone use like I was yesterday/

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
Interesting find. I am going to test this out and see how it works. If it makes an impact, I will update the recommendations to replace the ones that I have been making. For now I will add it to the recommendations.

I'm not skeptical that this will work as it is basically a similar principle to the SBC kernels, charging the battery outside of the phone, charging to 100% then pulling battery and charging back to 100%, etc.

I am skeptical about the calibration not working. I am pretty good with placebo effects because I note everything and I am quite certain that I have seen improvement from using calibration techniques. Specifically the Battery Repair (Doctor Boost) app. If I can get the same results with this method, I would be very pleased.

Thanks for passing this on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Guillo1:
I tried the Hands Free Activation 3 times and it didn't fix my problem. Will call Sprint right now. thanx for the help

Flash a new kernel. It is not the roms fault. You are wasting your time re-flashing. I recommend flashing steady hawkins stock kernel/custom recovery

Can someone just make a sticky saying... For almost no LoS, flash stock/custom recovery kernel separate from ROM XXXXXX ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
Quick update on this. The premise for Ram3n's process was entirely based on Entropy512's claim that

But later in the thread entropy responds to all of the claims of improved battery like this:

I don't think the process suggested by Ram3n will hurt, but I'm not giving up on the calibration apps just yet. I sent messages to both devs to see what they have to say.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Capp5050:
I had the same thing happen to me yesterday after the GL update. I cleared the 'Set as Default' entry for TWLauncher (my default at the time), but couldn't remember how to positively 'affirm' GL as the new default. Last time I recall entering and exiting an app and then being asked, and setting default that way, but that didn't happen this time.

Meanwhile, I don't have/use ADB, so once caught in the endless 'boot-loop', the only thing I could do was a CWM/nandroid recovery.

My only 2 questions at this point are:

1) How does one (with certainty) ensure that the new launcher is set as default?

and

2) Is there a 'safe-boot' mode? That would break the endless reboot cycle and allow for some fixing (e.g., disabling GL, or setting as default). I know it exists because I actually booted into it once but I can't recall how. I read somewhere that holding down the 'Home' key during startup boots to safe-mode, but I think this only works for the International model which has the physical 'Home' button.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nivron:
Not sure about the safe-boot, but if you clear defaults from your launcher, press the "Home" button and it will want you to choose a default. Click the "Set as Default" checkbox before choosing. I don't know if there is a more effective way. You can double-check by going into Settings->Applications and seeing if your new launcher has the "Clear Default" button not grayed out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
It's actually the opposite, we have the physical buttons, international has soft keys. In any case, if you want to boot into safe mode, you hold down the menu key while booting.

As far as the launcher, do what nivron recommended above and you should be good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Guillo1:
Man I can not believe all the grief I've had with my phone the last couple of days and all I had to do was remove the battery. I called Sprint customer service and they had me do a hands free activation that didn't do a thing. Then they had me remove the battery wait a little but and put it back and my 3G service is back. I hope my problems might help someone else in the forum. I had thought of pulling the battery myself but I never did it. Thanx to everyone who helped me and now I can go back to adding Rom's.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Capp5050:
Yes, thanks. I think I know what I did wrong. I must have entered an application, but then 'backed out' of it, back to home, instead of using the 'Home' button. Because this time when I tried it, everything seemed to work fine.

Still would love to know if there's a 'safe mode', but the urgency is diminished :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
Interesting and good to know. I am going to add that into my recommendations. Thanks for coming back to tell us how it was resolved.

Don't know if you saw my response above, but for 'Safe Mode' you hold down the menu key while booting.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Guillo1:
yea popping out the battery sure does belong in your recommendation list. We assume that its the same as a re-boot but it is not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brushrop03:
Reason I wanted to reflash the rom is because I was going a lot of flashing a couple of days ago before coming back to 1.5a. Since coming back my battery is no where near what it was before when I first flashed it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xpanmanx:
Mad LoS since upping from 1.1 to 1.5a, even with HFA. Flashed Rogue_E4T-Stock-1.1.cwr.zip and LOS seems to have been eliminated.
