[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SPElectronics:
I've been running this since early on, but suddenly have been having some issues with my charging LED staying lit after taking the phone off the charger. It would do this occasionally at first, and a reboot, or plugging it back in and unplugging it again would sometimes clear it, but now it is almost always on. Unfortunately this causes the battery to drain faster than it would otherwise. I have tried doing a battery pull, but after doing that the phone thinks it is still connected to the charger and the screen just shows a battery, and goes from that to a blank screen and back, and will not respond when I try to power it back up. If I press and hold power long enough, or I connect the charger and then try a few times it will eventually boot back up, but the LED remains lit. The phone works pretty much perfectly otherwise, but that LED being lit all the time is annoying.

Has anyone else had a similar issue?

I'm wondering if MAYBE the battery itself is starting to go bad and is causing issues, but figured I'd see if anyone else has any similar issue that might be ROM related. Hopefully it's not the phone itself, because it will be getting passed down to my daughter at the end of the month, and I don't want her having problems with it. I might just try to do a fresh flash of the rom again, but hate to risk putting the phone totally out of commission before I get my new S4.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Have you tried charging the phone while it is off, remove from charger and then booting up to see what it does?

However, sounds like the battery, they rarely last beyond 9-10 months before exhibiting problems. You should be backing up the rom on a regular basis anyway if you're concerned about losing your setup.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SPElectronics:
I don't remember if I have charged it while the phone is off, because I rarely have it off. I know that sometimes when I have had the phone off, then unplugged the charger and booted it sometimes cleared the LED, but it tends to come back on and get stuck again, that's why I thought just maybe it was Rom related.

I do run backups once in a while, but I'm really not too concerned with losing my current setup, because nothing is so important that I can't start from scratch if it came down to it. Contacts are frequently saved elsewhere, and I have most everything stored on my Dropbox, so only notes and pictures would be lost if the phone failed, and those things get backed up on my SD card fairly often, and not important enough to be a huge loss anyway. In fact, if this Rom hadn't been as good as it had for so long, I'd be changing it up far more often. I have considered going to the ICS version, or maybe jumping to a JB Rom, but I hate to fix what isn't broken... Now that something appears broken though, I'm sort of forced to.

Thanks for the reply tdunham, you're always a great help on the forums, and with all your other contributions to the scene. I'll probably shut the phone down and leave it charging and see what it does. If it still acts up I'll try another battery, and if still no luck I might try flashing the Rom again. Who knows, maybe the charging circuit is starting to give up the ghost. If so my daughter will be disappointed, since she'll be stuck with her old Epic with a cracked screen for a while longer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] driftinganomaly:
You should also try the infamous spin test. Take the battery out of your phone, put it on a table and try to spin it. If it sound easily, it is going bad. It will only spin if it is starting to bulge.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SPElectronics:
Yes, I have checked the battery, and it is not bulged. I haven't done a load test on it yet though, since I'm a little lazy. lol

I have ordered a new battery for the phone, just to see if that is the problem or not, and this way the kid can hopefully get some use out of the phone for a while after I upgrade to the S4. So hopefully in a day or two I'll have that in my hand, and be able to do some more testing.

UPDATE: I received the new battery, fully charged it, then started checking the phone again. With the new battery I had the SAME problem as before. LED lit all the time as though the charging cable was connected. It would change color for "notifications" as it should, but would never turn off. If the charger was plugged in, it would appear to charge normally, but the battery seemed to drain quickly, or the percentage would fluctuate up and down randomly (Maybe I should have just reset battery stats again after that). If the phone was turned off, without the cord connected, the battery charging icon on the screen would show up, and so would the charging LED, and they would toggle back and forth, over and over repeatedly like they were stuck in a loop. I could not press power and boot up the phone while it was in this state, so I had to plug the charger back in and then boot the phone back up. Everything else seemed to work normal once booted up.

So, thinking maybe the charging circuit was failing I decided to flash the phone, but rather than flash Calkulin's E4GT v3.0 again, I just went with [Team ScarLick] [GB27] Touched By S4 V1.5 updated ROM and GB08 modem. The phone seems to be working great again, no more permanent LED, and I'm able to power down and not have the battery icon and led alternating on/off, and can boot back up normally again.

WHEW! My daughter will be happy when I upgrade to the S4 next month and give her this phone.

I'm thinking now that SOMETHING got corrupted in the ROM and caused the issue, and probably flashing Calk 3.0 again would have corrected the problem. Maybe I'll flash it back again later to test that, but since it's an outdated ROM and not really being supported anymore I should probably just let it go, and enjoy the GREAT memories I have of running it for the last year and a half or whatever it's been! Big ups to Calkulin for the work on this ROM! It was fantastic, with exceptional battery life!

Its really sad cause Calkulin hasn't logged on to XDA sense Feb 2013 so its been 6 months now. It seems he did the same disappearing act that [MENTION=1299673]sfhub[/MENTION] did last year. I hope both of them are alive and well :(

Nice to see u back. :D

Are u going to do some development on the epic 4g touch?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Felt nostalgic and was glad to see this rom still available for dl. I think this was the first rom I flashed for this phone and I still can't believe how smooth this is. This will be fun to use for the next few days.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NewShockerGuy:
are the download links not working? I'm trying to download this and it's not doign so...

thanks,

Probably because this ROM is almost 2 yrs old? Dead ROM and dead thread.

On another note this was a great ROM back in the day.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] optimummind:
This was my favorite Gingerbread ROM when I used to use the E4GT. :D. Now, the phone is inside the desk as a backup phone. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wizardknight:
This rom still has the best battery life of any rom I have ever tried here. :good:

If it were not for my need to run some apps that want ICS+ I would still be running it.

You might consider this newer version. It is not as great on battery life, but it has some new features too.

BTW what is wrong with the mirror link in the first post? Seems to work fine for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Yep, one still works

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NewShockerGuy:
I really like this rom but dang is the camera so slow. I take a picture and it's a solid second or two before the shutter screen captures the picture. Not sure if there is a way to fix that? Or if that was a known issue. Other than that I have no gripes with the rom!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
The stock camera in all of the builds are flakey if you ask me.

Did u removed the task manager?

My phone reboots when I tap on the task manager, ROM is running perfect that's the only problem for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I don't think so. I'll load it up and check it out though. I did remove quite a few system files though. I wonder if gps still slow.

---------- Post added at 02:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

I meant see if gps is working.

I've got to figure out how to edit posts in the app. LOL
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MR83:
Later, I will check if the GPS and the MHL works , i had cm11 installed on my inactive e4gt and im downgrading to GB cuz i like my mhl working.

To edit on the app just tap your name on the message that u are trying to edit then modify ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MR83:
this rom was debloated with calk bare rom converted or u just removed the apks that u dont need?

Hey td, do u have a zip with the battery used on recalked fi25?

I really like that battery :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Flash in recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MR83:
both files?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
What?

I only attached one zip. The other is a screenshot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MR83:
Didn't see that on my galaxy player, sorry!

No battery %?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
No. That is the one that came with the rom you requested. Maybe that is when the stock roms started using the battery percentage that was built into the rom that you could toggle on/off. I don't remember.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sedric1:
It has been a while since I have done this - but long story short; I had a phone stolen -and just found my old galaxy s2 (sprint just turned it back on).

It looks like I still have superuser on it, and it is running gingerbread ek02. I believe cwm is still here as well so my question is;

is it safe to install this rom directly from where I am at currently or should I install a different build first? (i.e. something with EL29) ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
You can probably just flash it from where you are if it has custom recovery. I posted a modified build a couple of pages back also with instructions for flashing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MR83:
My inactive e4gt running your media rom td.

I was missing the calculator and the camera so i downloaded em from play store and the gs4 tabbed settings ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NewShockerGuy:
Not to sound like an idiot but I will ask anyways.

Currently running Calkulins e4gt,rom.v3,0 but have the baseband version of S: d710:10S.EL29

How does going down to el27 differ and is it needed for this rom above for 3.0TD version? Also what does TD stand for?

Is it worth it changing the rom to the 3.0td version from what I have?

Thanks,

-Nigel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
TD, that would be me. :D

That is a modified version of the stock Calk 3.0 with extended toggles and some other stuff I added. If you are currently running stock 3.0, you can backup and probably just flash right over your current build.

As for baseband, that is your modem. A lot of folks tried different modem and kernel combinations to get better battery life. There is no perfect combination, it was all trial and error to find the best combination.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NewShockerGuy:
Does anyone have a link to this that is still active? I wanted to try this before I am done with the phone...lol

E4GT has served me quite well over these last 4 years... I've never run a rom this long!

Calk, you killed it. This rom is sick. I would LOVE if we started to get the same dev work on the Epic that we did with the OG EVO! Donated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
the newest CWM (blue), uses the home key as 'ok'. power is 'back'.

if I read everything correctly, which is rare (lol), this is the official cwm put out by koush and it's what you want. allows you to "install zip from sd" or "install zip from ext sd"

awesome sause
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
No, you'll need to delete it from system/apps using Root Explorer or a similar app or Titanium Backup.

Also, if you want the button mapping to be the same in CWR, just press the vol. up button 10 or so times and it will reengage the Power button as select instead of back. You will have to do that each time you boot to recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RussellEstridge25:
my battery life doent last long at all. I flashed this rom last night and today my battery falling rapidly. Its awake more than the screen is on and I turned auto sync off... any suggestions? thanks in advance.

oh for the record, it will def work if you have juicedefender on it

awesomeness! i flashed 1.1 and it fixed my Adobe AIR and flash issues! thanks!!!!

this has been my favorite rom thus far. I had one LoS earlier today.. but otherwise the rom has been great. The reboot time on this phone compared to all my previous phones is ridiculously fast.. why complain about rebooting.. literally within a few seconds i'm back up and running.

keep up the great work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tiffany84:
Thank u so much!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hrffd:
Two things:

I've had a problem with my phone resetting randomly, and it resets straight to lockscreen then has to reboot all the media/reboots my apps/looks for signal again. I was on Starburst with the same problem and just switched to this, so I'm guessing it's the kernal. What's a good kernal I could switch to?

2nd, which file in /system/etc/init.d do I edit to change overclocking? I was trying to look for the overclock part but couldn't find it.

I flashed the ICS Theme as it's the only one that I saw is compatible with this ROM. So does anyone have any better ones?

Thanks for the help in advanced. And really nice ROM so far.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
The file you're looking for is 3cpufreq_screenstate_scaling.

I used to have those problems with starburst but not with this ROM.. Do you have a lockscreen mod? Also, did you format system, data, cache and dalvik?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] akarol:
No problemo!

Sent from my badass Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sdglenn:
This rom is awesome. Very stable. No issues installed first time looks GREAT
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hrffd:
Ok thanks. And yes I cleared all. I've only seen the reboot happen once so far, when it did it alot more on Starburst so I'll wait it out to see if it happens again before I switch kernals.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Curious Just_s ... isn't #1 and #2 redundant? I thought #3 does both. Just an extra why not it can't hurt thing you did?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
Yes, exactly, just a redundant step to make me feel better. :) I was having so many problems with this ROM the first three times I flashed it and then a whole slew of new issues when I updated, so I just started over and felt like it couldn't hurt to do a couple of manual wipes in addition to the script. Probably didn't do anything, but this ROM is beyond perfect for me this time, so I'll take it :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
did the same thing yesterday, with the same results...sometimes, flashing update over update, and everything else along the way, just leaves too many unknowns behind..A fresh start every now and then is a good thing!

Glad to hear you are enjoying this the way it should be..

And BTW, not that it means anything, but I get quads of 4000+ on stock everything..no over clocking of any sort..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
What type of app restore did you do? Did you restore apps with data? Sounds like one of your apps is misbehaving and preventing sleep. Check update frequencies in your apps, and use an app to check whats tapping your battery, there's several(android assistant etc). May help. also, if it helps I had terrible battery for a few days, even after a calibration, and it has gotten better. A few of my posts back you can see a big difference after a few days of use/charges. Give it a little time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scoobmd:
It's a start.

The whole "Go" family of apps is great, I must of missed this one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RussellEstridge25:
Battery life.

I didnt do an app restore till just now... with TB. and Im checking out that android assistant. It looks like it goes into great detail... I was just hoping to flash this rom and have it take care of the whole battery issue, and have complete awesome-ness on top of that. lol. Its a great rom so dont get me wrong. I just really want better battery life. I'll let ya know if it changes. This is only my first 24 hours with the rom. I hope your right.:cool:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] walkaway:
After alot of trial and error I have come to the conclusion that I can't run any apps that require accessibility (light flow,adw notifier). Once I install them and enable accessibility then reboot it goes into a bootloop. Can anybody confirm this problem as I haven't been able to figure it out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iondokk:
When I flash a new theme on a ROM that I already flashed a theme on, and choose to change it to a different theme I first wipe cache then pelvic cache then reflash the ROM to clear out the old theme.
