[Epic 4G Android Development] v8bait:
The WiFi chip in this phone is absolutely garbage. On my laptop I get -60dBm however on my phone I can only get -80dBm. This was with two Epic's (first one took a bath) both stock and with multiple ROM's/modems. DLNA streaming... don't even bother unless the access point in in the same room. I can turn up the transmit power on my router as much as you want but it doesn't help, the chip in the phone is just cheap. Ended up hard wiring 3 routers to transmit the same SSID at various places in the house to get good coverage for my phone (gotta love DD-WRT software).

If you do not apply the GPS fix you will only lock on to 3 sats I think with this ROM, even though I believe it's supposed to lock on to 7+ since the "fix" is said to be included. As others have said, applying the gps fix over the ROM seems to help. I would lose my gps lock durring an active nav session and the phone would not acknowledge when I re-locked with GPS, disrupting my nav. The flashable fix took care of this for me, it's the only minor bug I've seen with the ROM and even without the fix the GPS works much better than on factory firmware. Maybe Toad kept the number of sat locks down to conserve battery, as 3 worked very well 95% of the time. Just my $0.02
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
With regards to the GPS sat locking, Toad wasn't the one who dumbed it down to a max of 3, I believe that was Samsung from the get-go. And yes, I also think it was to reduce battery consumption. The 'fix' is actually files from the Fascinate, and that seems to work quite well for me and a lot of others too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XXCoder:
Indeed.

Oh and there is a bug related with turn lock off feature in status bar. If you turn it off, you can't turn it back on till you reboot phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dmanp84:
I'm not getting that bug, all business is usual (usual as no bugs goes) for me
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
Funny, my experience was different. I found that the lockscreen toggle would sometimes not work UNTIL I rebooted. But once it worked, it was persistent.
[Epic 4G Android Development] monke30butt:
OOOOppppss....

Clicked the thanks button by mistake.

I do not have this issue, I just tested that function & it works normally. No reboot needed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XXCoder:
Now this is just weird. I tested it and it works perfectly. I suspect it is just one time glitch thing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
I have same issue
[Epic 4G Android Development] Djinn23:
I hbave no issues with wifi. I can get full stregenth in other rooms and through walls and my one cheap asus tomato flashed router can cover the inside of my home. I added a second to get my porches fully. Covered . I think you also have to consider that when holding the device you have your hands covering the atte3na. I mostly get coverage through letting my dog out too.I do on the other hand see 3g go from near full to no bars and have for a whil. Always thought that was weird.

Gps:

I thou7ght (but would have to reread) that the3 gps fix was not baked in yet because he did not want to update just for that. I have seen the lock, lost gps and not relock behavior before and felt that I isolated it not to gps but to 4g going to sleep. Are you7 connected on 4g when this happens. If I use 3g with gps this has never happened to me.

Hope it helps.

I put the new FB15 modem on my phone 4 days ago. I went to check the battery usage and it said 4 days 3 hours on battery.

I have a crazy graph where it goes down to 15 % but then up to 100 when i charged it.

I tried plugging in the charger and turning the phone on and off but it does reset my usage number.

Do you know about wiping battery stats & calibrating the battery?

Sent from the Drivers Seat of my Suby txting and Driving doing 100MPH+ in a school zone! Ha.
[Epic 4G Android Development] badbeats:
Heard about it, but do not know how to do it.

I guess its in clockworkmod? I will give it a try
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
Ok hear is how I do it.

1) charge phone powerd ON to 100% untill blue LED comes on. Leave it charge another 5~10 minutes

2) then unplug the phone & immediately power down. Now with the phone still OFF plug it back in & charge it untill the LED turns blue again & the green battery says 100%

3) boot to cwm advanced/wipe battery stats.

4) Power up your phone & use it untill its <10% could be 5% (do NOT CHARGE UNTILL YOUR LOW or u will have to start the whole thing over)

5) when you have run down the battery & your going to recharge it. You have to recharge it all the way up untill you get the blue LED. If you unplug your phone for any reason during this first recharge you will have defeted the whole point of this & you will have to start over.

Now you can charge you phone any way you like. It sounds a lot harder than it really is. Your just going from 100% down to Low 5% or some thing, then back to 100%

I've heard from multiple sources that battery calibration is a myth as lithium ion batteries cannot be calibrated
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
Your right. Its NOT really the battery your calibrating. Its how android uses the power & its learns what the battery has in it.

Sent from the Drivers Seat of my Suby txting and Driving doing 100MPH+ in a school zone! Ha.
[Epic 4G Android Development] badbeats:
Yeah draining the battery quickly has never been a problem :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] eigerzoom:
if that were true (stats teaching android), then wouldn't resetting your stats at 50% battery in turn show as 100% since it would have no frame of reference until it was emptied and recharged?

no it does not!

people tell you to empty and recharge fully to help the stats 'reset' but if you notice as soon as you clear battery stats...the fact is...it knows just how friggin much battery you have left

oh wow...its just a hoax...

while i'm not saying battery stats dont have a purpose...i think the actual purpose isn't well known or something...perhaps they improve the accuracy of the reported battery level
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
Ummm ya! That's the point of it ;-)

Look a user did not understand why he was getting BS battery read out. I told him how to fix it. Said done over. We do not need to fill up a ROMs thread with bs talking about how cwm has a setting to wip battery stats. It is there for a reason. If you don't think wiping them at full charge does any thing then fine DON'T DO IT, you don't have to at some point the phone will figuer it out, (maybe) its just going to take longer & mite never stop giveing you an Inaccurate readout

Idk how many roms you have flached but I have been flashing them on my epic from about the first month I got it 10-2010 & trust me you always want to do this after a new rom install. To me its nothing more than a little PMCS, like rechecking lug nuts after a 100 miles

[Epic 4G Android Development] SamsungSucks:
Does the program "OTA RootKeeper" work with this ROM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
No. OTAs will not install on a custom ROM so therefore it doesn't matter. So it will never install therefore never break root.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SamsungSucks:
One of the feature of this tool is to fool applications into thinking the system is not rooted. Would that part work?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Restola:
Toad, with FC09 being pushed out, any idea if CleanGB will see an update?

http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/405733#405733

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
No. Sprint OTA looks for a lot of stock files and checksums. Missing one app, themeing, the kernel required to keep CWM all will prevent OTA. Now if you are looking to fool your employer and their apps you would have to try. But it will not work to get the OTA.
[Epic 4G Android Development] buckhunter:
Maybe this will help. http://www.landofdroid.com/2012/to-wipe-battery-stats-or-not-to-in-androidthat-is-the-question/
[Epic 4G Android Development] willow_ve:
i second the question... although i haven't seen toad around here in a long long time.

no rush, really, as the current ROM seems to be close to flawless as a daily driver.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theMallacht:
Is anyone having a problem with 3g failing? 3g has failed on me many times with this rom, normally a restart fixes this, but today it closed out and for some reason won't load back up at all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
I've seen 3g issues lately but I think that's on sprints end and or modem not neccessarily this rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
I noticed that after I switched to the FB15 modem, I had issues with wi-fi and 4G. I just ran the EL30-wimax-fix.zip, and that seems to have solved my 4G issues. But Badboy is right that this could be more of a modem/carrier issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] andsamp:
It's sprint. They've been screwing the pooch lately.
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic_image:
can you provided a link to the EL30 wimax fix?
[Epic 4G Android Development] anavias:
I am noticing that sometimes my speakerphone mic will just stop working. This is most noticeable when I try to use Google Voice Search. Rebooting fixes the problem for a while, before it eventually comes back. I see this on two different phones with the latest CleanGB.

Anyone else seeing this, or have any thoughts on what is causing it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
How do you know its the mic? I'm assuming your talking about the hardware microphone right?

[Epic 4G Android Development] uscpsycho:
I just installed this ROM and right off the bat I had my GPS lock up so I installed the fix. Within the next 15 minutes I had the GPS lock up again. This status bar showed a GPS fix but the map was frozen and I had the searching for GPS message at the bottom of the screen.

At least it didn't lock my phone up and require a battery pull as was the case with stock ROM.

My installation is still pretty fresh with very few apps installed.

Any suggestions?

Does anyone have enough time with both CleanGB and CM9 to make a comparison? Is CM9 as good and stable as CleanGB?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Try clearing data in Maps. CM9 as well as AOKP are awesome but not for everyone. It is AOSP meaning touchwiz features are not available.
[Epic 4G Android Development] themow:
I can successfully make the bottom row of icons disappear by swiping up from the bottom of the phone while on the home screen. Happens every time and only way to get them back is a reboot. Anyone else?
[Epic 4G Android Development] buckhunter:
If your talking about the icons on the adw dock that is a setting in adw just disable it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
This drove my wife insane for a while. Exactly what buckhunter said. It's a 'gesture' in ADW which you need to go into the settings and change it to something else.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
My swipe up gesture is show/hide status bar

My swipe down is show notifications

If I swipe up on the dockbar it will disappear

I long press on empty space to bring up widgets menu the do launcher actions then select open close dockbar then when on home screen press it and dockbar will re appear. I have dealt with this for a really long time and I have seen no way of disabling it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] badbeats:
I have been getting a ton of dropped calls lately. I called Sprint and they said they are working on the lines so that could be the problem. One of my friends said he has not noticed many problems.

I am on FB15, but I was thinking if I flashed a different modem it might help? Just wondering if anyone is using this rom, in my area, and had a modem that was working well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I'm out near the Schaumburg/Elgin/Hoffman Estates area and haven't had any problems dropping calls. Two things though: I'm not on the same modem you are (I think I'm rolling with EL30) and Sprint is rolling out Network Vision in our area. They started in the West burbs last fall and are moving in towards the city. Should have it wrapped by Oct/Nov time frame. I haven't noticed dropped calls, but I have noticed some crazy speed variations and it jumping to 1x a lot more often in the past 4-6 weeks.

Oh, and I'm not using CleanGB, but wifey is and she hasn't mentioned anything. And since I rooted and ROM'd her phone, if there were any issues, she'd let me know :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
Hi, I have been using this rom for awhile and I love it - extremely stable - first rom I have not had to restore from backup ever! Hoping I'm jinxing myself I should probably make a current backup :D

Anyway, I have some basic questions, I am going to be on a cruise ship next week and I want to make sure my cell phone and data are off but wifi is on.

What is the best way to achieve this?

Airplane mode shuts off everything right?

What specifically does the data toggle shut off - is that just 4g, 3g data?

Do I need to make sure the auto-sync is off or should I leave that on?

I know some people have reported wifi issues in this thread. I don't use wifi often, are there any fixes or checks I should do before I go to make sure wifi is working well?

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TechnoGeezer:
My advice, fwit, if it's stable now & you like your setup, MAKE A BACKUP NOW! It' so much easier to go back to & allows you to explore other ROMS. I'm o CM9B1 now but loved CleanGB & still carry my last Nandroid.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Some ROMs have the option to put the phone in airplane mode and then turn wifi on. This is what you'll have to do. Turning data off will still leave your cell signal searching and could potentially latch on to international towers.

Put your phone into airplane mode, then go into settings -> wireless & networks and see if you can flip wifi on. If you can, then that's exactly what you need to do. You'll still then be able to use data, but no cell service which it sounds like is what you're trying to accomplish. Syncing requires data and will keep your gmail, etc synced up to however often you have them set to sync. Gmail specifically is push, so it doesn't actually sync at a set interval, but other email apps do have a set timeframe.

So I flashed EL30 in Odin, then did a full wipe/install of MTD version in recovery. Stuck on Samsung screen and I can't get into recovery.

Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
When u odined el30 modem, I assume you came fully operational before booting into cwm and flashing cleangb mtd, right?

If so, what were you running and exactly what did you do? Asking cause I'm trying to figure out why you mentioned it cause modem isn't relevant to install.

EDIT/ did you just do the modem or the whole package? You will prob have to odin el30 again with the repartition option getting it to bml if you actually went down the mtd path.

[Epic 4G Android Development] 1greek4u:
Went ahead and ODINed the full EL30 stock tar. This blows, haha. Can someone guide me through the steps I need to take to get rooted on STOCK EL30 and eventually flash this ROM? Been searching and reading but I'm finding different directions on what I should do. Sorry it's been a long time since I've flashed anything on this phone...

---------- Post added at 06:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 PM ----------

And yes, I had tried to flash the whole MTD package
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
Ok. Go into the general section and look at the sticky threads. Find one by qbking77. In that thread, find the video about returning to stock. You may need to reinstall clockwork recovery if you didn't do b4. If you do, make sure you use the updated process for el30. Once you are there, simply install the cleangb zip from your sd.

1/ relaxing deep breaths

2/ use the qbking77 videos and don't rush anything. The answer is in there.

3/ post your questions here. Tell us what you are trying to do, what you did, and what you are seeing on the screen.

Edit/ if you are mtd and using odin to revert to stock bml, have repartition checked

Odin in CWM 5.0.2.7 without reboot checked. Put battery in and out and 3 finger right into CWM. Flash CleanGB....profit.
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
So....

If you use Rodderik's EL30 tar (in Odin) to go back to stock, you can just Odin CWM 5.0.2.7 to root and then flash CleanGB? You don't need that extra zip to flash (from BBelos) to prevent the system from reverting to stock recovery?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
I like when my phone works. This is why I keep coming back here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 1greek4u:
Yeah I ended up flashing full stock EL30, then flashed CWM/modified kernel/su.zip to keep root. Just flashed CleanGB after that and I was ready to go. Did this hours ago; guess I was too impatient to wait to be spoon fed :P

-1greek
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Exactly except you are not rooting with Odining the recovery, you are just installing the recovery that allows you to flash CleanGB which is rooted and also installs the MTD CWM5 which sticks. The whole key is to not let it boot into the OS after Odining the CWM5. That would kill CWM5.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
+ 1

Epic powered by CleanGB/MTD 1.1.2
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
Got it! So if QBKing were here, he'd tell us to Odin the recovery, 3-finger salute into CWM ("until the bottom back-lit keys light up") and flash the CleanGB zip WITHOUT first booting into stock OS prior to flashing CleanGB?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Him or his youtube Epic 4G answer man (guess who). This is exactly how I did it last time I blew up my recovery so can confirm this method works.
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
I'm going to try it. I was on Mortify, but started having data reception issues so went straight to Sleeper EL30 and am now receiving texts about a day after they're sent, so thought i'd use Rodderik's tar to Odin back and start fresh with cleanGB, which has worked better for me than any other Gingerbread Rom (exepting possibly Starsky's Viper.

[Epic 4G Android Development] TechnoGeezer:
You should be able to set international roaming to "Off" in settings. I'm on CM9 now so I can't check it but on stock & CM9 that option is available. I do it when out of the country & only switch on when necessary.
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
Are you using Google Voice to manage your voicemail?

[Epic 4G Android Development] Milkman00:
So this ROM is great (as we all know), but was wondering if anyone has heard from or seen Toad???

I have had assorted problems (which I assume are ROM related). One of which is the GPS signal being lost with Google Navigation after a short time, and the only way to bring it back is to exit the app and go back into it.

Another one is that I would love to see a CleanGB update that included the new radio which supports the automatic WIFI power down.

Also, sometimes my keyboard will lock into a mode where the keys turn into shortcut keys all the time. Pressing the Fn key or the magnifying glass doesn't undo it. Can only reboot to fix.

COME BACK TOAD!!!! :) lol... Just odd how he dropped of without a goodbye, screw you guys, nothing!!! :( I sincerely hope he is ok.
