Updated to EG31 on Friday (stock everything) and it seems to have helped with 3/4G reception and speed. There are areas where my reception is crap and it still is with EG31 but at least I can now access the 'net even if at a snails pace. However, in areas where I have good reception I noticed an increase in speed as web pages load pretty quick now.

Overall, it seems to have done something positive for my phone. Hope this helps.

Oh and thanks to the community for being awesome.

eg31

eg31: so far I've seen it be much faster on wifi, however had much worse Los issues I am using naekero and lost kernel 10.8 here are screens

update 11-24 definitely more Los then even just stock eg30

went from 1 to 3 occurrences a day and from 0 on eg12

update 11-26: further research and doodling with reducing background data activity especially In poor signal areas leads me to think eg31 has no contribution to Los, more that it works better as a modem and with healthy background data usage seems like will Los, it's likely Los Increases from the modem being more reliable with data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] freecharlesmanson:
eg12: so far it seems in conjunction with lost kernel 10.8 completely eliminates Los I've used this configuration for about a month. so far it has had the call issues sometimes and much poorer data over wifi although 3g and 4g remain pretty much identical to eg31

I have also noticed in some areas I get noticeably better data, by this I mean usable data were eg31 has none

update 11-26: the call issues have proven extremely consistent based on some rumors about Los eg12 lowering Los jives but does come at a cost which is deep sleep won't wake and probably no data activity while that happens.

I have done this, curious if this is a 1 time deal, or if one should do this after every rom flash? I'm assuming its a one time deal, but jsut wanted to make sure, thanks

How can you pull a modem?

How can you pull a modem? I would prefer to have an EG30 modem, just in case something does happen, regardless of the differences (or lack of), from EG12 to EG30.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] subcypher:
Has anyone figured out how to load the modems under Linux yet? Can you flash these in CWM, maybe?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Yes, there are flashable zip
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Some people tried and couldn't do it. If I remember correctly, it's buried somewhere in the system and can't be "pulled" off a phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
Flashed EG31 modem a few days ago. Everything has been gravy up until last night (I'm assuming). I'm losing 3G everytime I turn wifi on but my device still shows that I have 3G in notification bar. I didn't notice until this morning when my friend called me and asked if I got the pics he sent me. So, I rebooted my phone and then got a ****load of messages all at once. The weird part is that the phone still works, so it's not the infamous LOS. Kind of a bummer....I thought EG31 modem would be better.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Guillo1:
I also flashed EG31 a few days ago and this morning the 3G icon was gone so I assumed I had LOS. I tried to reboot but could not get 3G and then I recieved a call and realized that phone works but my my data, internet service does not work at all. It has been like this all day now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] subcypher:
I'm getting this as well, but I haven't loaded EG31 yet. I'm still trying to figure out how to do it under Linux. I guess I might have to load up a VirtualBox install of Windows.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Have you guys with data-connectivity issues done a hands-free-activation and/or profile update since flashing?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dallas90733:
Having the same issue with WiFi not connecting, showing it has bars, but no internet...did update profile still no wifi connection, with WiFi disable, 3g/4g will connect.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] subcypher:
I did the activation and it failed on the profile or prl update part. I tried the profile and prl update from the menu she it rebooted and got an ICS error, I believe it was. I then rebooted again and the pro and profile updates worked. I haven't had an issue since, but I'm not sure if it was the updates or the fact that I updated my Zedomax kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
Had at least one LoS per day since updating to eg31 usually while traveling between towers (handoff).

I re-flashed the radio and have had better fortune (knock on wood).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
I've been LOS at least once a day too. Weird thing is when it happens, I still have signal bars. The way I have to figure it out is turn off WiFi, 3G doesn't appear, go into airplane mode, and when I turn off airplane mode is when I see the no signal icon. I might even flash stock EG and kernel again cause I never really experienced this until recently.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
You're describing ghost LoS.

That's actually what I'm getting.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1mp4c:
I have the same "ghost LoS" issue your talking about. Caulkin says in his rom that the current 31 modem fixes LoS. Lies? Or is this just for the ghost LoS?

Is this only on roms, rooted, or even on stock? Just got the phone and only saw this happen since rooting and throwing Caulkins rom on it the other day.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
After reflashing eg31 ladt night: all day I had no ghost LoS's.

starburst 1.9.8r

LoStless kernel 1.0.2

Viper LoS fixer 3.01

My phone did however freeze twice to require a battery pull.

I just installed Rogue Outlaw kernel which is a lot snappier than LoStless so we'll see what happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1mp4c:
I'm using Rogue 1.1.3 as well, and I like it :D

I updated the modem again, so I'll see if it fixes it after a day or so. If not, I have the ViperMod for LoS on the phone ready to install :cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] flyers2114:
Good stuff as always Tim!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] huskerpat:
I don't want to jinx myself, but I've been running EG31 since the weekend and I've only had one LoS. I had it really bad previously and was missing a bunch of phone calls.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wwl2008:
me too.Weird thing is when it happens, I still have signal bars
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
Had ghost LoS's with Rogue Outlaw today.

Now on Rogue Renegade 1.1

Will see if this works better.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sportsplayer5959:
EG31 works perfectly on rogue stock. Data and wifi speeds are better. People need to realize that if you want to completely get rid of los you can not have an overclockable kernel. you need to go stock. I have been using rogue stock since day one of its release and havent got a single los. All other overclockable kernels such as rogue outlaw and lostkernel will give you los
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
I've gotta agree with you 100% on this. There is only 1 kernel I have never gotten LOS on. mkasick's built-to-be-as-stock-as-possible kernel. Shipped/pulled-stock I have gotten very very few. The least, by far, out of any kernel aside from mkasick's. But any other custom kernel? Lots of LOS. I didn't get many on LoSTKernel, but Zedomax, for instance? LOS like crazy....keep in mind I haven't tried any of these other kernels in a long time (besides LoST), and I know that chris41g was putting in mkasick's changes into his experimental kernel, which I ran for a week and had very very few LOS.

But, yeah, stick-to-stock kernel for the least LOS possible. I just flashed the EG31 modem and I also have to agree with you. 3G and Wifi are noticeably faster for me and my WiFi connects almost instantly now. I'll report back on any additional LOS occurance (with mkasick's "stock" kernel).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Once Sammy fixes it and it's released, this phone is going to be scary on aftermarket kernels
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
Great. I'll give that a try. I was getting even more LOS with EG31 and was thinking it was that rather than the kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Stock is overclockable using Tegrak.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
yup 1452 i believe. Personally i run at 800 and haven't missed a beat. Its nice to know once/if samsung fixes LOS that my phone should be able to handle all the way up to 1704 almost a 50% overclock!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Only way to be sure is to run stock kernel, then flash the new modem and keep the stock kernel. See how that fares...THEN try new kernels. By doing things one-thing-at-a-time starting from a "known good" baseline you can narrow down where you problems are coming from almost automatically and usually instantly. The more variables you throw in the farther away from knowing WTF is going on with any one variable by itself and if those variables interact with each other any practical measure you take is worthless.

Eitherhow, I'm a few hours in on mkasick's as-stock-as-possible kernel (the only kernel I've never ever had a single LOS with ever) and no LOS, higher data speeds and I'm not sure of battery life impact yet. I should probably calibrate my battery again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1mp4c:
Ran for about 2 days without an LoS. Just got one tonight and had to reboot, and got stuck on Rom boot up, had to reboot by holding the pwr button. Could be Caulkins Rom, not the kernel or modem though, unsure.

It is much better than before, but not perfect. So ghost LoS is gone, but still have regular LoS... gunna try the stock kernel and see how that goes. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
I've been running LoStKernel (overclockable) for a long time now and I didnt experience any LOS until I flashed the EG31 modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sportsplayer5959:
Yeah i guess some people are lucky and are able to run some non-stock kernels with no issues. However, i dont care too much about overclocking and have had absolutely no LoS on stock kernel so i am sticking with it. Plus sfhub mentioned a while back that you can overclock stock with tegrak so thats cool

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wwl2008:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
Sorry, misread the post. I don't believe I have seen any source for the shipped EG30 rom. Where are you finding it 12many?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
I'm the same way. Overclockable is nice but now that I think about at it, I never really need it. Went with EG31 with Rogue stock and it's been running great. No LoS or ghost LoS last night. It was the first time with a custom kernel that LoS didn't happen over night. Also battery life while idle with screen off is great. I lost only 25% over 9.8 hours on the battery. That's a lose of 2.55% per hour. I'll be sure to update with anything else good or bad.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
My bad guys. I thought that rev 5 tar was EG30. I haven't been hanging out in the development section much lately. Didn't mean to get anyone's hopes up.

BTW..Anyone experiencing Android OS drainage as well after flashing EG31? I didn't have this before flashing EG31 modem either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zorachus:
Running Calk's 1.5a ROM, can I just flash the EG31 modem in recovery ? And hope for the best ?

No. Use Odin to flash modem.bin

I just flashed this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1367971

How do I know which modem I currently have, and which zip I should flash?
[Droid 2 General] Eioquent:
For about a month now I've been very interested in rooting my R2D2 Droid 2. I think I know how I'm going to do it, by using this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=764950 however, I am unsure if it would work considering that I'm using Gingerbread 2.3.3. Another question I have is when I flash a custom ROM to my phone, will it replace the R2D2 animation on the startup of the phone that I've come to know, love, and hate? Also, any advice as to I should add to my phone after rooting would also be greatly appreciated, especially apps, Custom ROMS, and anything you guys can think of.

Thank you so much!
[Droid 2 General] kwyrt:
Rooting is pretty simple. If you are on the OTA GB update then you will want to use the Droid 3 One Click root. The instructions I used are here:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/3216-roo...-click-added-for-windows-linux-osx/#post75934

As for ROMs I would definitely try a few out. I am currently running Rev's CM7 build. I uses the GB kernel unlike the official CM7 nighties. Once you are rooted download ROM Toolbox and you will find it in there. I would also highly recommend Boot Manager. This app lets you install different ROMs to your SD card. Great for trying out new ROMs without messing up your current installation. I am running CM7 on my phone with Apex and MIUI ICS in two slots on Boot Manager.

Just be careful, there are some ROMS that run on the Froyo kernel and others that run on the GB kernel. If you flash the wrong one you may end of having to SBF back to stock, reroot, etc. Not hard but it is a pain.

Good luck!
[Droid 2 General] Eioquent:
Hey thanks! I really appreciate your reply. I'll be sure to try all of this stuff later tonight. I'll just post here if I have any problems. (hopefully not)

Which is the best bluetooth headset which works with Galaxy Note? I want one can let me listen to music, talk in the phone and it has buttons to control volume & songs changing. Please kindly suggest some, thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ArcticCat:
I have the SE MW600, I didn't get my Note yet but I have read in this forum it works well with the note.

A very nice BT headset with Called ID Display as a bonus
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] the red krawler:
I'm using a Blueant T1 (http://www.myblueant.com/products/headsets/t1/) and it works fine with the Note.

I make no claims to how good it is compared to other BT headsets as its the only one I've owned, but it certainly works more than good enough for what I need.

EDIT: Wait, you need song changing too? Cancel the T1... it has volume up/down, and a voice command button (which doubles as accept/end call) but no media buttons.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] wingod513:
yes, I need to one change songs with it as well. I want the Bluetooth headset as two side in-ear, I listen to mp3 alot, but the original headset has a cable and it always blocking me, that's why I want a bluetooth one.

so, Sony Ericsson is working for Samsung? How's the sound? I am picky in sound. :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ArcticCat:
Oh well, for me, the sound is pretty good. But I am far from being picky
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] samaneng2002:
I have SE MW600, its voice quality is not that good (far end usually complains from low voice). in addition I'm facing trouble with it with me nexus one (It hangs up if I receive a missed call without till I restart it again). I think it's not good with Android as I tested it on non-Android device it worked good
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Darfus:
I use the Nokia BH905, which is quite pricy, but the sound quality is excellent and works fine with the Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] 00roberto00:
also the ff and rew buttons work?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Darfus:
Yea, they do work with the standard music player, never tested it with Spotify, although they ain't seperate buttons (long press next = ff, long press last = rewind.)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ArcticCat:
Just got the note today and, for me, if works great with the mw600.

Voice quality is great by my standards and track info shows but not caller name.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] xamaba:
I have ordered the JayBird Freedom headset. I mainly want to use it for music and audio books. Once I have received it I will provide some feedback on how well it works with the Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ericshmerick:
I use this:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052XQFKE/

It's convertible meaning you can use it in your ear as a typical BT headset, attach the provided stereo headphones for music (includes a mic) or there is also an adapter that allows you to plug in any headphones you want. I drop the BT unit in my shirt pocket while listening to my Bose QC15's. Powers them quite well (9-hour battery life).

Highly recommened, especially since I got them for $10 after rebate.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ultra99:
Great! But that offer is over now.

Does it have controls for music, do I have to use the phone to change tracks?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ericshmerick:
Developed for android and controls the music player great.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ultra99:
But does it have physical buttons to control music? Meaning I can leave my phone in my backpack and control calls and music from the head set?

I can't find info talking about this...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Daanmannetje:
No music player controls: http://reviews.cnet.com/headsets/samsung-stream-liner-gray/4505-13831_7-34834970.html

I'm a big fan of the Sony Ericsson MW600, but I don't like the slides-volume-thing...

I hope WP7.8/WP8 will soon get an update so all mics/music controls work as they should (or as they do on an iPhone, which has set a standard for lots of accessoires).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] gfacin:
Jaybird BT Freedom 3 has excellent sound quality and reasonable battery life (about 5 hours of music). They're also sweatproof, which is nice for running. Check it out.

Cheers
