for anyone who thinks that "insider information" is always gonna be right, I have a friend whos cousin works for a guy whos brother works at Belmont race track and says sure thing bet horse #5 in the 3rd race to win.. (if you win great if you lose not my fault and not my info)

Thx to all those who provide the best info available..and to the devs' who have been working to make this work

that being said, where is the OC ff11 !!! j/k (not really) ;)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Censura_Umbra:
Well, I am not sure how to take your comment on a specific individual basis, I will respond to the general principles you outlined. At this stage of development, there just isn't much info, and Source will come when it comes. While I did not cite anything, I was speaking from experience (from working with Sprint) about what Sprint higher ups consider when releasing software. Also, since I did not cite any sources, it should be inferred that I was voicing an opinion. (as well as some frustration)

On a more general note; this thread is basically dead, with a few buggy leaks here and there (no disrespect! Thank you all for your hard work) and a lack of reliable information we are all left to speculate. Without the speculation, this thread would be dead except for the occasional "is source out yet?", "why is scrolling not fixed?", and band promotion. Speculation allows us to pool our collective experience together and try to make an educated guess, similar to the bets on release time. While speculation doesn't always further out interests (though it often does as we are interested in discussing many aspects of the mobile world) it rarely interferes with those interests.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RustedRoot:
Duly noted as to your opinions. I keep going back to the first part of your name and its meaning. ??

I think we're all frustrated, if not punchy -- previously voiced. I'll have to disagree with you, respectfully, on speculation. Individually, or collectively, it amounts to little more than guessing and, as I said, we've had too much of that.

In effect, we're 9 1/2 months pregnant and more than ready for this "baby" to drop. You say the thread is dead, I say it's ready to give birth. FWIW, I check more than few times a day to see if the the source has been released, so count me among the eager.

This is nuts: my phone has been unplugged for 25 hours and there's still 44% left!

Moderate use, including some wireless data. I have a custom profile for Juice Defender (mostly so that wifi has a better chance to get connected first).

After 24 hours it was at 53%. I turned the phone back on from its overnight rest and it immediately synced email, which set the notification light off. In just a few minutes the percentage dropped to 47%. I went into settings and turned the notification light off and the drain slowed dramatically over the half hour.

This is on FF09 which I installed when the one-click was posted.

losing wifi on ff11

I just installed sfhub's one-click for FF11 and I'm experiencing a problem that I've had over several of the past builds, but it wasn't on FF02. My wifi connection drops and then immediately reconnects regularly. I flashed the complete wipe -- not the one that preserves data.

Has anyone else seen this problem on FF11? Is it a problem with the build or could it be something else?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] linuxtad:
More drama here than a miday soap.

In my opinion inside info is just info. If that info doesn't turn out to be fact... Oh well.

I'm partly looking forward to ics... And partly worried. Good changes are good, just worried about the bad ones. Google imo has been making some poor decisions with some of their products so I have not updated them. Couple that with enjoying GB, and you can be sure I am going to make a full backup when ICS reaches OTA.

I appreciate the info, frown at the "snr" in this thread, but I'm still glad it is here. Thank you all!

I also just assumed that Sprint/Samsung intentionally made it easy to get their test builds. Didn't actually think it was an internal leak.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
That is insane! Mine was dead in less than 8 hours after flashing. Mind posting a screenshot of your battery usage so I can drool over your success?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
+1

If you go back a few pages, I was getting superb battery results as well. Not quite as good as yours but that was my firs run after flashing ff09 and there was some heavy wifi and pandorra usage.

Okay, just for you I'll share the pink ones :)

It was said not too long ago that people were going to be real let down when ICS drops because we've all built it up in our minds as this amazing, awesome, super thing (I'm liberally paraphrasing) and perhaps, if you are someone who has never tried any of the ICS leaks/builds, that might prove true, but the majority of us who have flashed at least some (most of us, all) the leaks then I think we have a pretty good idea of what to expect.

I'm one of those who keeps her expectations low and really enjoys it when they are exceeded. It's part of what makes up my cheerful disposition. lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Censura_Umbra:
sweeeeeet! lol

I just can't wait to see what cm9 does with source! Although I don't see how it could get much better.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weboide:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
I have the same wifi dropping issue on FF09.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chiefplt:
Yeah, I skipped FF09. Too bad the issue is back.

Any chance it has to do with config files at all? I think it only happens for me on secure wifi networks.

That makes me wonder though, will they call it Popcorn when they hit the P's for OS build names? Or maybe Pie.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
I am on FF09 and use wifi all day. Not seeing any drops. Is something triggering it or you see it with particular app/browser?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weboide:
It's due to very short dhcp leases on some corporate wifi networks.

I'm getting disappointed by those leaks...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
I don't see how that's a particular build's fault?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
To those suffering WiFi issues, have you changed any of your default settings at any point? I keep my settings as they come and I've not experienced any WiFi issues. Again though I think it's hardware and software related.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weboide:
Gingerbread handled short dhcp leases pretty good, no drops.

Early ICS leaks did not handle them properly and would drop wifi every 2-3 minutes. Looking at the logcat and searching online brought some bug reports related to that.

They had fixed it at around FE22, but it's back now since the FF releases I think.

Edit: It happens during sleep, somehow the lease is not renewed, and the router or phone drops the connection. I'll check FF11 some more to see if it really still happens, I haven't fully tested yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrick_1:
I downloaded two movies through icestream over wifi, both around 800mb with both taking approx 30 min or so to download, without losing a connection. Also only dropped around 20% battery during each. So far I'm impressed with FF11 for batt/stability but I do know not all leaks play nice with others.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
I use wifi keep alive from the market and it seems to do what it says. Not sure of that helps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weboide:
So far I only had one drop, and it hasn't dropped since then even after leaving it on sleep for 10-20min (which usually would have 100% chance to drop on those buggy leaks).

I'll keep looking.

I flashed ff11 charge phone to 100% while turned off then turn on and it is dwn to 99% still pluggged in takes about 5min to get back to 100% same thing it i do it the other way and charge to 100% on and then turn off..and anytime its at 100% it drops to 99% as soon as unplugged and takes 5min or more to get back to 100% i have tried with 3 diff batteries same thing :confused:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chiefplt:
I don't think my issues are related to short DHCP leases. It happens on my home router regularly. I'll check the lease timing when I get home. It also doesn't just happen during sleep. I'll be browsing the web, watch the wifi icon disappear, see the phone shift into 3g for a few seconds and then reconnect on wifi.

It wasn't happening on earlier builds, then started around FE22 or so, then got fixed by FF02 and now is back for me on FF11.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] galexandr:
Not being able to send mail or something similar? Truthfully i am a wuss when it comes to flashing. This being my only phone and all... I can't afford to make a mistake, and any set back in performance of the phone or Rom is set back in my performance at work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
If your phone is required for work DO NOT flash anything leave it stock.

A friend of mine got suspended 2 weeks from work for not answering an important call and some txts from boss because of a ROM problem. Not going to mention ROM name.

Edit: You shouldn't have any problems with this leak unless your co its using SP1 for exchange. That's what I heard (I don't use exchange)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
Well all I can share is my personal experience and o haven't had a single exchange issue. And I went from 3000 quads with gingerbread to 3700 after just flashing ics so they definitely doing performance enhancements
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] datajosh:
The only Exchange bug I've heard about recently is not being able to set an out of office message from your phone - which I didn't realize people did a lot because everyone I know (myself included) will set that up from their office before they leave :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jeffreycat:
Is OTG/USB Host Mode working yet? This is the ONLY feature that I am missing.... if I could somehow get it working, then I wouldn't have anymore complaints about this phone :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Lol You mad bro? Yeah it is true but stock it's less probable, and if your job depends on performance/reliability of your phone its better to leave it as is. It just an advice, is up to him to take it or leave it. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] criptix:
not sure bout you guys but since i flashed the full ff11 ive been getting no service alot, ive put the phone in airplane mode and then out then reboot and service comes back up. Maybe the ff11 modem is borked?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] linuxtad:
I am curious if ICS has addressed the GB bug that seems to occur at powering on the phone. The media scanner starting up and your phone rebooting and often times repeating this multiple times.

Read a lot on this one and have tried many of the fixes. And while some fixes/combinations of fixes decrease the frequency of this occuring - it still happens.

I would love to hear about your experiences with ICS leaks and this bug, thank you!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
I've never had a reboot from media scanning on gb or ics.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] adam.kelly2:
I just flashed this leak, the one in Android Development from sfhub.

So far, so good. I think Samsung is headed in the right direction compared to what they were offering in the past on this phone and the OG Epic.

I like that I can uninstall most of the bloat or at the very least disable it without having to have Titanium Backup (or something similar) installed.

The FF11 modem seems to be more consistent when it comes to signal and my battery life, overall, is pretty decent. I get about 16-19 hours between charges depending on how much I use my phone which is more than adequate.

Thanks guys, keep up the good work with these leaks!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ArgyleDX:
I haven't seen this on ICS. For what it's worth when it happened on Gingerbread it happened more often when I rebooted the phone and I either tried to use it while it was scanning the SD card, or I had a Bluetooth headset connected	(often disabling Bluetooth seemed to stop the boot loops)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] heroisnotdead:

Try FF02, FF09 or FF11 Modems they have good reviews for GPS Lock

does anyone know if I have to flash a completely new kernel when I am flashing a modem? I am running aokp b37 and I would like to just flash a modem in the phone slot of ODIN without using the PDA check option to reflash the kernel etc ..basically, I just wanna put my phone in odin mode, and flash the mode.bin of FF11

Just grab the ZIP Update version of the Modem you want from the Modem section of the Kernel Repo and flash it via your recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] swear0730:
I just saw that Calkulin posted in a One-X forum regarding his purchase of the phone. I'm figuring he got fed up with Sprint reception and went to AT&T. I was hoping for a refresh to the F11 ROM from him. I'm currently on his 1.6.

I may not be with Sprint much longer though. I'm sick of Sprint reception too. In my area US Cellular is the best and once they launch the SIII(and I start hearing actual positive reviews) I'm probably going to jump ship. That is unless Sprint magically launches Network Vision here in the next month.

Maybe I'll try Blue Kuban.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
I hate to hear that but he had given us a head's up that he was likely going to be switching carriers due to Sprint's continued bad service in his area.

His absence will be a true loss.

Missed the Blu Kuban comment on the first read through. I've been running it since Rujelus released it and I've yet to find a reason to try anything else. I don't think you'd be disappointed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmejiaa:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rokair:
A very sad loss to the E4GT community for sure. I do hope that someone is at least able to get a FF11 Kernel (or what ever ends up being the last one) published with a Rogue Recovery and the other tweaks Calk did to make applications on the SD Card work better than other repacks.
