[Epic 4G Android Development] D-Buckner:
Toad,

Running your Kernel and Clean GB I had WiFi reboots every 3 to 4 minutes. WiFi would drop and go to the router for DHCP to hand out the IP again. I figured I would give you a chance to work on it and run rooted stock for a few days before trying Clean GB again as I like it! ;) This same issue was even worse for me with ACS ICS v4.

Running rooted stock is a different story all together! I don't get the random WiFi drops, instead I get Android reboots with the freezing that's mentioned. Things run great for awhile before I get stuck in a loop of reboots. I noticed this last time that touchwiz lost all the bar icons besides the applications drawer icon. the bar also doubled in size along with the icon. Very strange!

Anyway, I was able to drop the default home between reboots this last time. The next reboot I launched ADW instead of TW. ADW instantly crashed and offered to email a bug report, So I did. In the stack trace I see that android Package manager has died as a cause of the exception. I am not a java programmer so am at a loss here to what's really happening.

Anyway, I hope this long story may be of some help in tracking this issue down. It looks like quite a few people are having it, and I myself don't want to go back to Froyo ;)

Cheers,

Dave
