For profiles and a great deal of other features (can't recall all) you have to purchase the Ultimate. Many things won't stick on the free version.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Ok gentlemen, I went from 2.7 to 2.8 as directed in OP and it worked fine but when I applied a EL29 theme, things went a little screwy. I formatted all, flashed new build fresh, booted and all was well. Went back to recovery and advanced restore data only and everything is great. Then back to recovery, wiped cache and dalvik, flashed theme and everything perfect now

Normal when you have a low display use. The more you use your phone the lower that number will get.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vegasden:
I realize the frustration regarding high Android OS. But a simple Google search and you'll see it's not isolated to this Rom, phone or OS release number. It is even persistent in ICS, based on posts to code.Google.

It would be wonderful to find solutions, but it appears this is deep inside Android.

Backed up all my stuff just in case

reboot to recovery

Flash Modem EL29

Flash Bare Rom 2.8

Flash CRT On (all in same CWM session)

reboot long boot first time (normal) appears to be a flawless install. no issues at all

only had to clear data and rerun Chrome to Phone setup to relink

reinstall my boot sound and animation and shut down animation

Gps Locks so fast it found me before maps finishes loading (in my bedroom)

So far seems perfect. No issues

so what is new with EL29 rom?

It seems to be some kind of CarrierIQ-esque spyware that you can safely delete from the ROM. I mentioned on a previous post that ESET Smart Security/NOD32 picked it up as a "potentially unwanted application".

I haven't had any negative effects since removing it. It seems ESET and Kaspersky either recently updated their definition files to include it, or someone modified the APK in this latest version to have something nastier than CIQ in it.

Which theme are you using? Looks good
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Your phone may be crashing because of the undervolting but that is not wakelock. Wakelock is when you press the power button and it may take a second or two before the screen comes on. There are a few threads about it in General. I have installed GoLocker with GOLauncher and must admit wakelock is quite minimal.

Yea it kinda is. When your phone goes in that deep sleep and takes a second or two to get up. I was reading that your phone actually checks for updates everytime you wake it up. There is a thread in development where he disables that from happening(think its Venum?) That with the above app I mentioned has helped me out.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lilmikeyv:
Yeah, I had this happen to me a while ago. For me it had to do with having too many devices registered with Amazon at the same time (everytime you flash a new rom it treats it as a new device).

PS. I am able to find them on some type of file explorer like root explerer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Oh man, this happened a couple of times on my OG Epic. It was kernel related. Try backing up your SD card to your PC then format the SD card and put your backup you made back on freshly formatted card. That may work. I have lost all of my pics and music before from a bad Kernel nuking them but if they show in a file manager, it should be correctable.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] madocs:
Yeah, I've done that and everything else I've read out there. I'm fairly confident the it is my device, just need to take it in.

I can get locks, they just flow in and out. I can go from a 10m lock and watch the blue circle expand out to 1000m, then back to 20m, then out again sometimes losing GPS signal for a while. This all happens when standing still. Def not the ROM.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b0ricua:

So I updated from Calk's 2.51 to 2.8 today, and it completely borked my phone. Couldn't open app drawer before rebooting twice, and the phone was just freezing for 5 seconds on end regularly. All I did was update to EL29 modem, reboot, and then booted back into recovery and ran the 2.8 updater.

I restored my nandroid and it's running fine on 2.51 again, just wondering if anybody has had similar issues, as with prior releases all I've had to do is run the update and everything worked smoothly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LuCkyCn:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LuCkyCn:
I thought they released the EL modem series to help "eliminate" LOS or was that EK02 and above. I don't quite remember. Ill let my phone settle for a few days before I try and flash the EK02. I had better battery life then too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] madocs:
I tried the back to stock route, had same issues. I recall having great GPS prior to rooting, but I did not do much to document the experience. I assumed I had screwed something up and reverted all the way back to stock, applied ota updates and all. Let it be for a day or two, still had GPS probs.

To me, it is reminiscent of the first CM builds for the EVO. GPS was wack until we ran the GPSCLRX dialer code, then all was well. I cant seem to execute a GPS clear code on the ET4G, clearing the GPS cache with GPS apps doesn't seem to help at all.

Perhaps there is a way to clear/reset GPS using ADB. I'm going to research (if anyone knows, please share). If that helps, maybe we can get it added as a recovery menu option.

someone suggested using the el13 modem, for a faster lock. if no dice, then ill try ek02, im the San Gabriel California area
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] takeheart:
Yeah, I did it without wiping as I'm just coming from a prior version and OP says: If your are updating, then nothing extra is needed during flashing as the update script wipes what is needed, unless other wise stated in the change log

I'd prefer not to wipe just for a nominal update, so if that's the solution I'll probably just keep 2.51 for the time being and hold out for ICS to finally hit.

Thanks!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LilRico:
Can anyone please verify this and test!

DO A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE YOU DO!

Install fresh from the Market or restore from a backup Quick boot and restart the phone with it. On ver. 2.8 the phone will get stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S II screen and clearing the cache, or wipe d-cache will not fix it. It will completely keep the phone from starting. You have to flash the ROM again for it to boot up or restore the backup from recovery. I've used quick boot on every version of this ROM prior to 2.8 and it has always worked, but now, I can't use it anymore. I was wondering if anyone else can re-create this issue.

Thanks in advance.

BTW, MD5 sum on the file that I flash is exactly what OP posted for the Bare ROM.
