2 complete days, no issues. I use my gps in the mornings to track my run (cardio trainer) while listening to pandora, I only get or receive a few calls a day, but check, send, and receive dozens of emails, and calendar and facebook checks each hour.

Battery life for me seems the same, phone is snappier (but that could be my imagination).

Either way, nothing bad happened, so I am pleased.

Seems the reboot menu isn't functioning correctly and some things are mixed up. Download is reboot use to be, download now says recovery, and recovery now says reboot.

I have flashed the updated rom and the new el13 modem and tried to use the hotspot hack in 4g. Anyone know why I would get a download speed of over 1200kb/9.4mbits without tethering and only 10kb/s while tethered?

The upload on the tablet is the same speed with or without tethering, over 200kb/s so its pretty quick on upload.

Downloading is slow it's not even worth it to tether. I'm trying to tether my tablet so if anyone knows a fix please let me know. Tethering to Lenovo K1 tablet.

What are your habits under medium use?

Has somebody had been able to get this ROM to scoot by close to a day with heavy use? (display use and so on).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] awesomedeals88:
Hello. I installed the 2.6 rom last week. I noticed that we could only select 10 sms recipients maximum. Can someone please modify the mms.apk file so we could select more than 10 recipents at one time? Thanks. I downloaded the mms.apk for the i9100 and it works with this epic touch but it shows the incoming text time stamp 8 hours behind.

Probably not the right place To post this

I have problems with my wallpaper not scrolling. Only after flashing this ROM. Any ideas anyone. I would greatly appreciate it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
Hmm, maybe a bad dl? I'm not seeing that. Mine is working flawlessly.

I see (in order):

Silent mode

Airplane mode

Power off

Reboot

Recovery

Download

Are you saying that the order is different from what you remember in previous versions or that when you press download it reboots, download goes to recovery, and recovery goes to reboot?

If it is just the order, I would call that dev preference rather than a malfunction.

It's the right place to post this, but you probably could have spent a few seconds searching and found the answer. The last couple of weeks there have probably been 30+ posts on this topic. I'd tell you how to fix it, but I use GO Launcher, so I don't have the issue, therefore didn't try the fixes in the thread. A quick search of "wallpaper scrolling" will probably get you the solution.

Still no go. Tried moving Email1.apk out of system. Once I place the new email.apk in system, I have to install it correct?

Anyway, can we take the discussion to a thread I started the other day so as not to saturate this one with my problems? Thanks for all the help!

Yeah, good idea, I'll head over there. But quick answer, no, at no time during the process do "install" anything. I am fairly certain that is your issue right there. I'll catch you at the other thread.

Have you tried calibrating your battery?

1. Charge to 100%

2. Reboot to CWM.

3. Wipe battery stats.

4. Use phone as you normally would until it dies.

5. Charge it to 100%

6. Turn it on.

Is there a mirror for the ROM? Ive tried downloading twice and got an error halfway through
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Guys, you can use an app like Appbak that saves only a list of your apps and takes you to install screen of each app when selected. It makes it fast and easy to clean install 75 or 275 or however many apps you are running. It will not reinstall apps you got from Black Market,etc but its a good app for clean app installs
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Only thing I notice since installing this Rom is when I go into clockwork recovery the volume bottons work but the Power botton to select thing doesn't.. I can scroll up an down but can't select anything. Dint have this issue before I installed this Rom
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
glad you got it figured out..

I think some folks have been able to use TB to restore stuff, but many others haven't..I couldn't restore ANYTHING from my MyBackUp Pro, but I was able to restore apps and data only from TB..

I plan to go back to this rom as soon as games are playable on it. Still can't launch up games.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hypersonicx:
Same I would like to go back to Rom also but some of my apps wouldn't launch even if they where fresh installed from the market. Click the app and it just closes back to the home screen.

N6oid. For example

LOL thanks man.. that's weird that they changed it that way
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JimSmith94:
I had the same problem twice and went through the same steps as you. I guess I had a bad download from Calkulin's MegaUpload link. I downloaded it from the Minus link: http://minus.com/mkhbgf0Uq#1 and it worked the first time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tri0xinn:
thanks Calkulin.. that market fix worked and all my apps are back up and running. Just about the only issue I have is with n64oid not working which is no big deal at the moment.. everything else i've tried is rock solid.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ohcie_evo:
first let me say awesome rom, been running since friday with zero issues at -100 mV. honestly, I was kinda just bidding my time with viperROM until miui was ported. but, this is my new rom of choice. I'm curious if anyone has had any success with the battery saver script on the stock kernel with cwm
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pdiddyfan:
I use apps2sd pro for that. Don't know if it works for black market apps though. BTW, anyone know how to get the black market...?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] m_reyna_16:
Does this have the 5mb size limit mod?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tiffany84:
You can use the power button to select. Boot into recovery and once you get to the main menu of cwm start pressing the volume down button like ten or twenty times. You'll see it say something like back button enabled. Then you'll be able to use the power button like you could in older versions of cwm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pdiddyfan:
Just press up down up real fast. That enables it too...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
You're probably not holding [Power] + [Vol. Up] long enough. Just keep holding them down simultaneously until you get into recovery. Even if the phone reboots, just keep holding until you see recovery. Then flash a different kernel. That should get you back on track.

For the one who can't REPEAT a navi in google navigation.

open NAVIGATION (blue up arrow icon) directly and there will be a "recents" options. you can repeat past navi's their.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
I believe that was me.. I'm not referring to past locations traveled, but to the repeat of a spoken direction. So for example if someone was talking and I missed a direction I could have it repeated like on my garmin. I know I can look at the screen but I would prefer to just tap tge screen to repeat voice rather than taking my eyes off the road.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] awesomedeals88:
Why isn't anyone responding to my concern?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
Probably because neither the author or anyone "capable" of doing so has read it yet.

at least that would be my guess.

-----------

Navi

your right. I can not find a way to get it to REPEAT the last instruction. the intuitive action of tapping the next instruction just "goes back" one instruction but still does not speak it.

I tried tapping everything. it does not appear to have that functionality.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Seems like I read somewhere online that for some reason they currently can't add that feature. I don't recall the specifics
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vegasden:
In Googling the issue, it seems most phones limit it to 10 to prevent spamming. In one forum for the International version of our phone, it was recommended to use a free app from the Market called Group Text. Or look at another texting app. Someone said Handcent allowed bigger than 10. Search around.

so if im flashing the viper battery saver script, and the undervolt 100 that calk posted, i need to flash them again every time i upgrade?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1BadHEMI:
Why are you flashing the viper battery saver script? Calk already includes a battery saver script... the only thing you need to flash is the under volt script...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kevin813:
thanks i tried that a few times and then just gave up and used odin to flash back to stock. do i need to do anything other than just download the zip and flash? or do ineed to flash a kernel or modem before the rom? im did the auto root from the sticky and have clock work mod recovery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] saj070:
If you have rooted the phone then move rom to sd card and under recovery install from sdcard.

make sure volume up and power sametime and flash it under recovery

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] m_reyna_16:
yea, but to my understanding it doesnt eliminate the mediahub and socialhub! therefore those apps still run! somebody correct me if im wrong....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kevin813:
thats what i did yesterday and it got me stuck at samsung screen maybe i had a bad download of the rom. ill try again tonight with another download and see if it works. thanks

You can uninstall those with titanium. I do with every ROM flash.

Deem me incredibly uneducated, but I installed Calk's rom a week ago at 2.6, but forgot to flash the undervolt kernel posted.

Do I need to format all again and flash it or can I flash it as if it were an upgrade and everything's fine?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bad_HABIT:
wow. is anyone else experiencing TERRIBLE battery with this rom?

I'm coming from the original starburst and was getting 10+ hours on heavy usage.

I loaded calks rom yesterday, and this morning phone charged to 100% is now down to 50 in only 3 hours with medium usage. Running it bare so no apps can be blamed for it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brushrop03:
Hmm what's your Display On time? 3G? Wifi?

Im at 6.5hrs and 85%. Fairly lite-medium usage though. Only 25mins of Display on Screen.

I'm using the kernel that came with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bad_HABIT:
attached are the images. i've read back a few comments that others are experiencing the same issue and usually reflashing the rom fixes it.

also i followed the advice of another user, and I calibrated my battery but Im still experiencing drain right before my eyes!

New to all of this and sorry if it has already been covered --- searched through about the first 20 pages and didn't find anything --- but does 4G not work with this??? Everything else is working fine but an area where I used to have full 4G now it can't even be found -=- just wondering what the fix is or if I'm just going to live without it now....

Also want to say thanks for everything, am loving this site! Looking forward to expanding my knowledge!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
if you dont use them just remove them and be done.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
K-9 is not all that great either and so far I have found no official or semi office way to send feedback (nor dedicated forums or anything that I could find yet). GORGEOUS customizable interface. LOVE the gui but it flat out never properly "syncs" my gmail

I get message multiple times or they come in again later because it did not sync the delete command or the "read" status etc.. etc..

get to gmail later that night and message i deleted in k9 are still their in gmail.

one time it would not send my replies. I had to keep hitting "check mail" to finally get it to actually sync and SEND my mail.

gorgeous program but it has functionality issues that need to be resolved. for now I have to use both apps. check gmail every now and then to make sure k9 did what its supposed to do.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
works fine here and wifi hotspot works 4g fine also.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AVAH0LIC:
Guess I'll restart and try again. Got a stock evo and stock ET4G sitting all on the same table and they are both picking up full 4G and mine just keeps searching :O hmmmm... thanks for the quick response

Edit --- Yup that fixed it... Idk what it was but now full 4g up and running :) very fast haha
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
i use gmail on its own but i remove stock email app (not gmail) and use k-9 for hotmail and yahoo with no issues, like i said im not really sure which mail was giving you issues stock or gmail. its not good idea to use same email on 2 apps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] m_reyna_16:
yea i tried that...

Don't know if many people know there is a new modem EL26 i have it on and it works fine with the rom and other roms. Also chris41 has 2 repacked el26 1 with clockwork and acs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
Why are you still using the old update? Last I checked we are on EL26.

Just kidding. Love the rom. I installed it last night. It is the first custom rom I have used on this phone and it is truly great. I did get one random reboot when someone was calling me. I wonder if that might be an EL13 issue. Obviously they were still working out bugs if they got up to 26.

I am looking forward to what you come up with next. Thanks for working so hard and quick on these roms.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:

I'm getting some bad drain here. Even when the phone is locked, it's chewing through battery like no tomorrow. Also, what is this syncing animating icon on top of my status bar? It's constantly going even when my phone isn't doing anything. I am on under volt -100 right now. Is this thing what is eating my battery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] saj070:
you have autosync on all the time try turning it off see if that improves..

menu/settings/autosync/uncheck autosync

i believe sync is on all the time and it will drain your battery..

This is just a suggestion see if it helps
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
something is syncing like data/facebook ect, im getting 16hrs easy on this rom oc'd @1504
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vrundmc:

Can't wait until the official update is released and the ROM is updated again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mr.BeBoT:
MMS Won't resize

Can somebody else verify if they are getting this bug:

Take a picture, then go to send MMS using stock app it returns the error file is to large.

Opening new MMS hitting paper clip then capture photo it returns

a) file to large

OR

b) unable to attach. File not supported

I've re-d/l (md5 checked out both times) running the rom as is.

Prior to this rom I would get "picture too large, compressing" then it would work fine. Seems the only way I can send mms is if i set my camera to the lowest resolution and only then I would get "picture too large, compressing" but it's not that large!

Other than that, best bat life I've gotten so far on this phone.

Are you under volt? i'm seeing this guy drain from normal use, like the occasional camera picture.

Maybe I didn't correctly calibrate this? are you doing anything asides from flashing the ROM and Calibrating? I flashed the ek02 kernel.

I'm turning off sync as well, but remember not having all that good prior to the syncing problems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
sync all is on screen is up all the way but im on EL12 modem and no im not uv

Are there special differences between modems? I just flashed the ek02 one because my phone is ek02.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
imo EL12 is faster and sprint says so but your call.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patach:
I'm becoming convinced that perhaps I didn't calibrate this correctly, and that's what's killing my battery life.

I downloaded a battery calibrate program (team rogue's boot doesn't seem to have a battery stats option), and waited until 100 percent, then had it calibrate. I did one or two small charges after calibrate, and then had it work itself down to 0%, and then charged it back up to 100.

Was this incorrect? Is it even necessary to drain after calibration?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
drain before you calibrate.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
I flashed it to calukin so far zero issues. seems to be working just fine.

as for is it better? I don't know. I am in an area that is typically "ehh" for signal. but I do have to say it has not lost data connection yet. ie the connection seems "steadier"

so that is a seat of the pants observation. I probably lack the means to truly determine if its better or not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
Yeah you can flash with no issues. It's too soon to tell (need to let it settle in for a day) but i have noticed better network speeds running the speed test compared to EL13.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ky772:
Which calibration app do you use? I'm using the one by Nema.

So, just to clarify (new at this myself)..

I wait for the phone to die out to zero percent, charge it to 100 percent, then calibrate?

What other fixes are you using?
