I did that as well and it was working last night. Woke up this morning to dead GPS. Deal breaker for me, so I went back to ACS ICS EH17 until this whole thing can get sorted out.

GPS Fix, but only temporary

Yes, reflashing ICS V2 does restart GPS, but any shutdown/reboot seems to disable it again. I have the same issue and confirmed it just now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mlewin1:
in the update, do we have to restore data every time, or can it just update the delta instead and leave the data?
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
Yes, that has happened to me too. I thought I was just dropping calls, then I realized the screen was on and my face was pressing on the "end call" button. But it doesn't happen on every call, for some reason.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I'm assuming you're talking about the battery indicator, right? Is there a way you can possibly make a small flashable file to leave it as it is as I'm assuming you'll incorporate a 1% battery mod in the next relelase.

Now that I'm off the 1% kick (since last night) I don't ever want to be back on!!! Too much guessing at what's going on and probably more of a pain than it's worth, for me anyway.

Big thanks for a great ROM too, btw. This is the first time I've used your work, and I love this ROM.

Once GPS gets sorted out, hotspot, and maybe volume rocker, I don't think I'll really have any reason to try anything else.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:

Found a fix for GPS

Hey guys. I really love this rom. The looks are amazing! I too could not get GPS to work after many different attempts. I decided to try something and it worked!

Credit has to go to starskyrob for his new rom. His rom the GPS works great. I wiped 3x everything and installed his rom. The GPS was able to get a lock. I then decided to try one more time with ICSv2. I did NOT wipe anything. I just installed it over starsky's rom and now I get a lock with ICSv2.

Starksys's rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1242335

Have you received a GPS lock AFTER rebooting after doing all of this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] stevesprivateaccount:
Have you shutdown since the ICSv2 flash? Please do and let us know if you kept GPS, as it seems that rebooting the phone kills GPS.

I really must ask WHY you guys keep making ROMs with non-journaled EXT4 as your default file-system? If you want speed, go full-retard and just use EXT2.

for real Id like to know the secret, I've got the 1800mah OEM battery and its making it thru the day but just barely, I hardly use the thing aside from a sesh or two of Eternity Warriors or Facebook browsing/txting
[Epic 4G Android Development] 521:
I've actually found that the main draw on these phones is due to weak signals and the modem constantly polling for a connection. The whole time I had the phone on the battery except for about two hours it was on a strong wifi connection, not polling the modem and 3g.

Also, check to be sure the programs / games you are running aren't still active in the background when you leave them. Turn off auto updating, set for manual syncing, display to cut off after 1 minute, and you should see a great increase in battery life.

Of course, if you are a heavy gamer and/or music/movie user, there's not a lot you can do - it uses a lot of battery for those things.

Your mileage may vary depending on user habits.
[Epic 4G Android Development] carsalbuja:
It can be done. Data sync off, freeze drm and sns in services and make sure to calibrate your battery with a battery pull when it's less than 10% while phone is connected to the charger.

Edit:

I, meant: STOP drm and sns services. Freezing them with root explorer would be bad news on reboot lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] 521:
And there you have it! It's entirely possible! Thanks for the post.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Tomcat5:
Yeah its pretty bad when my friend's Bionic can outlast my Epic's battery by 2 times over. Sure it has an 1800mah battery, but it had a dual core! I'm still running with the stock Epic battery, that's part of my problem. It feels like Sprint sent me a refurbished battery or something like that. It feels like someone abused it before it got to me. This phone will last 2 days easily with airplane mode, screen off, and stuck at 200mhz max, but that's not why we have smartphones. Didn't we get them so we could use them like a probable computer without having to plug into the wall all the time? It's a very bad day when I need to ask the lady in the airport terminal fast food place where I can sit with an outlet.

Most of the time with ACS roms I have not had to do full wipes on each small update, I have not got a chance to try this 5.1 to 5.5 yet, but I imagine its no different.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bralgar:
With EI22, I have flashed over ACS ICS 4.0 to Starskyrom, to Urban Precision, back to Starsky, back to ACS ICS...well you get the point, with no ill effects so far all with no extra wipes other than what the rom it's self does....i just dont like backup restores, those cause me issues with fc's and such no matter if it is nandroid (data) or 3rd party apps restores. EI22 seems to be very stable in this regard

How do you stop drm and sns?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrdavis55:
can you explain this process a little more in depth please?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dante of the Inferno:
I used ROM Manager to wipe my phone (after backing-up, of course) and update to V5.5. It runs like a dream. I tried the GPS in Maps, and it instantly locked on within 10 meters and within 1 meter in 10 seconds, all while inside my house! I also love the new scrolling drop-down menu. Also, thanks to the update, the phone now dies after being fully drained, as opposed to dying at 15% in V5.1.

I hear that maddoggin is getting a free Epic 4G donated to him in the mail, so hopefully those lockscreen mods will be arriving in short order.

Btw, marcusant, can we maybe get a version number in the About Phone section? It's just a formality, but a very useful one. At any rate, keep up the great work. We can't wait to see what's coming next in V6.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffgus:
I like the concept of the QuickPanel Settings app, the only problem is that it knows nothing about toggling 4G. Is there any way to get the 4G toggle back in version 5.5? I foze the app, but I still had the button layout defined by QuickPanel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrdavis55:

[Epic 4G Android Development] metalblaster:
Great work, Currently Dualing CM7 and ICS 5.5 on my epic and im loving them both. Hopefully we will be able to have the lockscreen mods up and running some time soon though. Ive been looking forward to those since EI22 dropped.
[Epic 4G Android Development] carsalbuja:
Sure.

to stop DRM and SNS click seetings then click aplications, click running services. Then in the list you'll see those two. Click on drm and sns click stop- accept it. will make them stop running in the background.

As far as the battery pull trick. This was a samsung tech guy that showed me this trick to calibrate the battery and unleash all its capacity.

-Run battery down preferible to 5% or 4% (the lowest the better)

- plug phone to wall charger

- while phone is conected pull the battery out (the phone will shut off and it will look like it's trying to turn on but it won't.

-leave battery out for 60 secs.. then put is back in and turn on the phone and let it charge fully. (While you do all this the phone is always plugged to the wall)

- as soon as you turn the phone back on you should see a 20-35% increase in your battery widget (this is you battery's actual full capacity that was hidden)

After phone is fully charge use it until it reaches 5% again, fully charge it without interuptions again and the the cycle is complete and your battery now knows its new limits. DO NOT let it die by itself cause then you will have to repeat the whole process. Everytime a battery dies it panics and creates that extra cushion again that hides up to its 30% capacity sometimes.

Let me know how it goes!

Good luck

Is anyone else having a problem with Titanium Backup being broken after updating to 5.5? I first tried just updating from v5.1-5.5 with rom manager but had the same problem. Then I did a wipe (and standard cache/dalvik), manually installed 5.5, and titanium still wont load any backups even though it detects my backup folder and shows i have 100ish backups. Says 0 number of app elements loaded.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
what did I do wrong?

did a nandroid backup of 5.1, and tried to update via rom manager, the 5.5 rom downloaded fine, I chose wipe dalvik only and hit enter. I am now stuck on a screen with a white triangle with a red exclamation mark.

EDIT: weird. I pulled the battery, replaced it, and turned on the phone and it went right into the install.

Then, after deleting all the usual crap via Root Explorer, I booted to recovery via ACS updater, tried to nandroid and got a freeze again. pulled the battery, turned on the phone and it brought it back to recovery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Looneyrat:
Donate your new paperweight to cmteam¡ we need 4g working.
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
I would download the rom from the acs page and then boot to cwm/acs recovery and do it that way. Good news is it is basically impossible to brick an Epic. If you can't get off that white screen then odin, root and restore your nandroid, then try again.

Also agree that the 4g button NEEDS to be there, not having it means basically anyone in a big city will not want this rom. I know whenever I drive up to NYC or down to Philly I sure as hell use 4g lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xalky:
I did a an update thru Rom Manager. I checked all 3 options and did a backup of my complete old 5.0 Rom. I also did a titanium backup prior to upgrading.

I didn't wanna take any chances so I backed everything up any way I could, because I really liked my setup on 5.0. But it looks like I'm gonna be able to delete those backups eventually as this version 5.5 is really nice.

For those of you concerned about the 4g toggle, it seems to toggle itself between 4g and 3g when 4g is available. Wifi is also working perfectly.

I was crossing my fingers doing this thru ROM Manager, because I'd never used it before, but it was painless and eloquent. ;)

My advice: If your gonna do this thru ROM Manager, do a titanium backup, check all 3 options in Rom Manager for a nice clean install.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
Are you leaving 4G on all the time? That'll cost you some battery.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Xalky:
I'll tell ya, Battery life is becoming less and less of a concern for me, I use Juice defender which does all the battery saving toggles. Eww, Come to think of it , that might be whats toggling between 3g and 4g. Not sure. Either way, my battery life is really good lately. ;)

5.1 went off without a hitch, seems to be working fine, not sure I want to go to the new one reading the things I'm seeing now.

BTW, its very possible to brick an epic, I did it and so did a number of others, just play with the kernel settings and undervolt screen or ram or whatever was done and it will brick and never turn on again.

only been using 5.5 for about an hour but so far so good. the only thing was i switched to Launcher Pro instead of ADW because i like the look more. 4g toggle would be nice, not sure why that of all things would be changed, but really its a minor thing in the end.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Master K:
Thanks!

Marcusant, thank you so much. I love 5.5 and it is very stable. Batt life has been quite good so far too.

I don't love all the theme elements but they are so easy to change. I keep a folder on my machine with images I prefer for the framework-res.apk. I also swapped out the SystemUI.apk from 5.1 (and removed quickpanel.apk) to get back the 4g icon. quickpanel is cool but the 4g is the only one I use so I prefer that for now. Hopefully quickpanel will support 4g at some point.

No rom can be perfect for all people. So to those that complain try and learn a little first. If something you don't like is simple to change then do it yourself. If you don't like something major try another rom or ask nicely. Marcusant has done tremendous work on this rom!

[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
If your just trying to back up your applications there is an app called adao file manager. If you can't get it from the market you can from 4shared, or just google adao file manager .apk download and you will find it. Then you can back up ur apps without being rooted. It doesn't back up the data within the app but that will reduce on the chances of corrupted data anyways. Hope this helps
