are you getting reboots when using TB?

The only time i have seen weird things happen with TB is when restoring system stuff back when I shouldn't have after upgrading or changing a rom. I have run many backups and restored items with no reboots here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] s9amme:
My wifes phone has no issues with TB, restoring apps or backing up. Are you restoring system apps as well? You should only be restoring apps + data when coming from a new ROM flash, and not system apps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:
Yes the reboots are only happening with TB

No not restoring apps, only simply trying to backup up. It will start the batch backup then reboot sometimes after it backs up a few apps and sometimes right away. I have tried uninstalling reinstalling the app, still the issue remains. Its so wierd, nor have i seen anyone else with this issue.

Is there a way to reset battery stats in CWM? I can find it in this version. I'm having all sorts of battery issues (has this before the ROM) and trying to fix it.

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fonseca898:
TB seems to work fine for me, but My Backup Pro cannot complete a backup without causing a phone reboot. Every time, without fail. When I flash a stock rooted ROM it works fine. It also worked fine on Calk 2.1.

No issues with TB though.

I must admit, EL13 was the best on battery and equal to EL26 and EL29 on data speed. I am tempted to go back to it almost everyday...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
So am I! I'm running el26 right now since it gives me better battery than 29 and better signal
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
battery calibration by deleting stats does nothing. its like your check engine light in your car. just because you turned off the light doesnt mean at all it fixed anything. to calibrate I would fully charge without removing from plug. after that fully kill it well at least down to 3-5%. fully charge again without removing it.

Well I have tried them all now and I keep coming back to this and it is because in my opinion it is the smoothest and fastest. I like the five icon dock overall it really is a very clean ROM. Lovin it.

The only thing left is CM9 once it is stable and we'll see. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
You could redownload everything on a computer and re flash (your original flash files could be corrupted). You could grab the deodexed hotspot mod flash for el29 and flash it and that might straighten out things.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AVAH0LIC:
Well idk where exactly to post this but it came with the rom so its going here.

Hotspot has been utilized quite a bit by me recently and every time within 5 minutes my phone gets ridiculously hot (140° on battery)... obviously that makes me nervous.

But tonight with ABSOLUTELY NOTHING being changed, no flashes, no mods, no file moved, nothing... hotspot is running damn near normal average temp as when phone is being used :O just as fast. If not faster.... very impressed, but I'm confused as to why this is happening.... and btw both results are plugged in up to 100%

Anybody have some sort of explanation or am I just lucky?

Anyone else getting slow wake times? Takes a good 2 seconds for screen to turn on. I hate to say it but I think I've narrowed it down to the rom. Tried different combos of kernels/modems. Different volt and cpu settings, and same thing every time. When I flash back to stock nandroid backup, all is good... I'm thinking maybe crt animation has something to do with it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ky0nkyon:
probably you've covered this, but asking in case... do you have a sd card? they cause lag wake times. its the only thing lagging my wake with this ROM.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
its not just this rom that does it either but its odd that it gets that hot.

I need a kernel or ROM that freaking fixes this POS GPS problem this phone/ROM/kernel has. Can't get **** to lock. GPS works with maps but not navigation. Wtf could it be?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Hotspot has made my phone hot since launch day of the OG Epic. I don't know if it has to do with other services running in the background or what makes it happen but on the Epic, I could almost cook Bacon on it sometimes...but it never failed on me. Hot does mean more battery loss though I believe
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Give the app GPS Aids a shot. I have been locking 10/10 or 11/11 satellites since using it and its extremely accurate calling out where tmyour off ramps and turns are.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wacky2bakky:
Wondering if anyone can help me with this problem. I Just had purchased a car dock for my car. I'm running this rom. When I put my phone in the dock, it shows it goes into car mode but it doesn't bring up the app or screen mode that you would normally get when you put a stock phone into the dock. Anyone have any suggestions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
GPS/Network Location are borked in EL-based ROMs. You need to flash 2 separate fixes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffix31:
what do you mean two? my gps works fine on el29. it was my location that was messed up. i swapped the file from the eg30 rom and it fixed it. i dont think everyone needs two fixes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carhauler1969:
+1 wiping battery stats does absolutely nothing to improve or extend battery life.

Calibrating the battery as patrao_n suggests will however yield at least some improvement depending on your particular setup & how you use your device.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carhauler1969:
It's not the ROM or kernel that is the problem, it's the GPS drivers that are the problem, & this is true across multiple Android phones & devices including the EVO 4G, NS4G, E4GT, TF, HeroC, & others.

There are various placebo "fixes" out there, some work for a few, some don't work at all. But the one fix that does work 99% of the time is flashing the .1 GPS driver, followed by flashing the Vision Galandy v1.1 modified GPS driver in the same recovery session. This has worked for the EVO 4G, E4GT, NS4G, & others I'm sure.

Try this: boot to recovery, wipe cache & Dalvik cache, flash the .1 driver here - http://db.tt/6MJXDbVj

Then immediately, in the same recovery session flash the Vision Galandy v1.1 driver here - http://db.tt/UYThadLd

Reboot, once fully booted into the ROM open Google Maps & see if your GPS doesn't lock immediately with 3-6 meter accuracy.

Like I said this works 99% of the time. You can also fine tune it to improve accuracy with GPSstatus, & GPSFix, both free in the market.

Changing, or raising the SD Cache i.e. SD card read ahead, as well as the I/O scheduler will fix that most of the time. You can do this with ROMToolbox, or SystemTuner (both free versions), SD Speed Boost ($.99) read ahead setting only.

small problem after flashing and restoring my apps via my backup pro

the phone boots to the lock screen, and won't go past it. The lock screen comes up, then it goes dark, with just the soft buttons staying illuminated, then the screen goes dark again, and the lock screen comes up again...It does this over and over and over..

I pulled the battery, and held the power up and power button in, hoping to boot into recovery, but it won't go into recovery; the rom just starts to load again,and goes through the same cycle..

I only have a mac computer, so I can't do anything that involves Odin; does anyone have any idea on what I can do to get it to boot into Recovery again, or to get the phone to just boot up normally?

thank you!

EDIT: Well, I got into recovery, and formatted/wiped everything, and reflashed the rom, and got it too boot,,must not have liked some app in my backup set..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
With a borked recovery Odin is your best bet... do you not have access to a windows computer?

With the amount of posts/thanks you have I'll assume that you're not a newb but what exactly did you do before flashing?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
yeah, who knows what happened..my backup set was from an odexed rom, but, I only restored apps, not data..

oh well, I will restore from an older deodexed backup, and hope that works...thanks for your suggestion!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoeBruin32:
Is there a benefit to relying on the init.d script rather than using setcpu or tegrak?

For example, I'm currently using tegrak with the stock pulled kernal to undervolt and set my cpu at 800mhz max. Would I benefit from changing the values in the init.d script instead?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jermzz:
Obviously its the same thing. Its a personal preference.

I have to say that for whatever reason flashing/modding this particular samsung phone can become quite frustrating. Very picky. I owned the vibrant for a year and never had a bootloop, you could flash mods and themes over and over and hardly ever run in to issues. I'm confident it will get better with time.

I fixed GPS (completely borked by this rom) by flashing stock EK02, then flashing back this ROM.

YMMV of course.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carhauler1969:
All three of my devices capable of tethering will usually get hot while tethering, I'd say it's normal. This happens to me on my EVO 4G, E4GT, & HeroC. The EVO least of all since it's the most aggressively under clocked, & under volted of the three. I run it at 128/499MHz on the smartass governor, under volted -100mV total.

Also, ambient temperature & sitting in direct sunlight will play a huge role in how hot the device will get. For example in my truck tethering with the device mounted in my Wilson Sleek, with the defroster running, & or sitting in direct sunlight will yield much higher temps (20-40°) than sitting in the shade without the defroster/heater running, IME.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffix31:
i dont think i have ever seen a phone that doesnt get at least a little hot when tethering. i mean think about what the radios are doing. these phones are so thin of course you are going to feel the heat, why is that shocking?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carhauler1969:
Using the hotspot, or tethering will always lead to more rapid discharging of the battery, & depending on your particular environment elevated temps as well. Changing roms will not fix this, it's the nature of the beast. A few ways to combat both of these undesirable side effects is to under clock & undervolt, as well as keeping the screen off while tethering.

The wake up lag is easily fixable by changing governors, raising the minimum clock speed, & finding what works for your particular device with your particular setup & usage. ROM hopping will not fix it, learning how to properly setup your device for how you're going to use it will.

Looks like I have to fall back to EasyTether Pro if I want maximum speed on my tethered laptop.

FWIW, there is an E4GT toolkit/toolbox somewhere around here that also recommends flashing the Galandy GPS drivers to resolve GPS problems on the E4GT.

Yes! Thanks Darren. That version has worked the best for me going back to my Epic. I have a "beta 99" and "beta 100" sitting in Dropbox but I never felt the need to even try them. I remember the versions before that one. Turn off 4g, turn on wifi tether, turn back on 4g. Then if you used it and wanted to use Hotspot, you had to go into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik...aah, the good old days! Lol

WifiTether is definitely faster than Sprint Hotspot whenever I have 4 g connection. WifiTether seems to pass all of the 4G speeds while Sprint Hotspot seems to pass about 25% of whatever the phone is pulling down. If only 3G connection, then both seems to be about the same.
