Problem with "Touch Sounds" after using headset

As a noob to this forum I'm not sure if maybe this problem should have its own thread...

So I'm running CM9 beta 2 (haven't had a moment to upgrade to beta 3 yet). Everything was working perfect until I decided to plug in the earbuds that came with the Samsung Epic.

Ever since plugging in the earbuds I no longer have any touch sounds, but if I plug the earbuds back in there ARE touch sounds in the earbuds, just not without them.

Tried:

Rebooting

Turning on/off the touch sounds in the sound settings menu

Turning off touch sounds, then rebooting, then turning back on

Plugging the earbuds in and out.

Any ideas how to get the sounds back? Anyone else get this issue?

Thanks

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Empyr3:
I'm having this same issue, I didn't do a completely clean install because it says on the cm9 install page that wipes are not necessary unless doing a major upgrade.

Clearing cache/data on contacts and running fix permissions didn't solve my problem.

So do I try redownloading/reflashing?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvtjoker42:
Any time you run into big functionality issues like this, it is best to do a full clean install and see if you can replicate the issue. If you do a clean install, and still have the same call issue, then there's some deeper issue than just the rom. Have you gone back to stock or a TW rom (cleangb etc) to see if the call issue still persists?

I have a few issues. First, in Google Chrome Beta, my virtual keyboard never pops up. Only on the omnibar. I have to use the physical keyboard on pages, like as I am typing this. Second, in the Google Play Store, often when I download an app, that may be under 3 MB, I get either the error that says "Insufficent storage available" which is not true, I have over 100 MB available according to the Manage Apps settings, or the "Package file is invalid" which doesn't make sense to me. Lastly, I want to be able to go to a shortcut and then enter my PIN. Will that be happening? Oh yeah and every once in a while instead of my signal indicator saying 3G or 1X, it says R. What is R? I couldn't find that online

EDIT: PS I am on EL30. I want to update my Epic, but they changed the EL30 boot from SD Card to FCO9. So if I tried it, it would just say "You are up to date" because of that right? If so, how can I install the most recent OFFICIAL Sprint update?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
R = roaming... and that's a problem with google chrome... download another browser and all is well....

you could give that one ago (it looks like it was updated last night; though not uploaded yet, as well), pretty much Nylan and IAP are the only "3rd party" kernels that I am aware of for CM9 at the moment.

well i think i figured out what the problem is, if you are downloading or playing a game. While your phone is actually sending/receiving data it will not allow it to receive text msgs or thats what it looks like to me. Kind of a huge bummer on my part

Earlier I had reported that the mic was not working on my phone. That I could not send/receive calls. I took my phone to sprint and got a new one, becauseeven with the stock rom it would not work. I am going to try flashing this rom again and see if it happens again. Hopefully not because I like this rom.

Thank you that's working so far I guess I'll just stay away from that theme
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StoneRyno:
When flashing (installing?) a theme or mod, our similar things th potential replace apps it is best to verify they are not only cm9 compatible but that they include the newest version of the app in the event something changed with the app. The messaging app is a common one that gets replaced causing problems. I assume this would be less of a problem or no problem at all with themes that use the cm9 theme feature. i personally like the stock look 100% unlike previous Android versions.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] di14:
ohh, no the app updates were fine, I mean I need to update from EL30 to FC09! But how can I do that when the boot from SD Card is FC09?

EDIT: And not just the modem, I want the firmware as well!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Since this the CM9 thread I am guessing you are talking about updating your modem. Simply Odin the FC09 Modem.bin and you are done.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] di14:
sorry, just updated my last post, can I update the firmware as well? Or is that included with modem? Or does the firmware not affect me being on CM9?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelano:
If you are running CM9 and want to run FC09; you need to flash another rom. There are a few The Peoples ROM and Thunderhawk V to name a couple.

FC09 is gingerbread (android 2.3.6) and CM9 is ice cream sandwich (androind 4.0.4),
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] di14:
I knew that, I was just wondering if the firmware mattered or not. Guess I'll just be flashing the modem, sticking to ICS, thanks!

No 3g data

Hey guys, I love the ROM it is the best thing to hit my epic 4g! it is so fast and has a ton of features, could not ask for more! well i could but i wont be greedy.

Anyway, I was having issues with the 4.0.3 sending crazy text messages, anytime i sent a text that was more then 2 lines long it would send the person a text with a ton of random letters and symbols, I tried Handcent instead of the stock messaging app and still did the same thing. I used titanium backup to backup and restore my apps, im not sure if that did anything but ultimately I had to start over.

Now that I have the rom reinstalled my 3g does not work!! cant get calls or anything. But my 4g works and wifi works. I didnt understand, so I found the zip file for the modem FC09 and tried flashing that but it failed.

I dont understand why this does not work now, I am following the guide to a T and I followed the link over to get the latest cwm5 and tried getting the rom for both mirrors. Ive done the process below several times and with the rom from each mirror.

So here are my steps, tell me if im doing something wrong.

I use odin and flash the stock rom back to 2.1 eclair.

I use oneclickroot 3.1.0.1 to root the phone.

I then put the ICS rom and the cwm5 zips on the sd card.

I boot into CWM3 that the oneclickroot installed and flash cwm5.

i reboot the phone and use rom manager to check if it updated.

I then reboot into cwm5 and flash cm9 ics 4.0.4

when the phone boots up everything works but the 3g and cell service unless i kick on 4g or wifi.

I did notice that when i did the install the first time it went fast and smooth, now that I am doing it over again I notice it is stopping at a point in the install for about a 20 sec, where it says "checking bml_mtd" something to that extent. IDK if that helps anyone with some info on this but any feed back would be appreciated, Im back to my ramdom rom thunderhawk for now but its nothing compared to cm9!!

I hope this is the right spot to post, if not sorry, and please let me know where to get some help on this.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelano:
FC09 modem zip: when you're on a MTD ROM you have to mount system before flashing the modem zips for them to work.

Please try to update your profile and PRL in random, then backup and flash CM9.

Make sure you're using the correct gapps file as well.

lastly; atfer flashing cm9. please don't login to google or intall/restore anything.

attempt to make and receive a call. if your can, i'd make a new backup so you hve a good starting point with cm9.

then restore one app at a time; perhaps that will identify something for you.

on the texts - Go into Settings of the Messenger app and turn on Split at 160

hope this helps, good luck

Don't use the modem updater zips. Odin the modem directly in. People have had issues with the EL30toFC09 update zip. And if on CM9 you need to use the Kexec BML CWM 5 temp boot to flash those modem zips.

Got it.

Got it!! Thanks for your help guys! I tried some of the suggestions and I decided to load the thunderhawk rom again that was mentioned. In looking for it again I noticed in the install instructions for thunderhawk there was a bml to mtd zip. in reading everyones reply and thinking about how cm9 was stopping at the bml_mtd stage, I used logic and tried it. So i repeated my process I said in my first Post, flashed stock rom, rooted then installed CWM5 and installed CM9, BUT this time after i installed cwm5 i installed the bml to mtd zip and then installed cm9 and BAM! there was my modem and 3g when the phone booted up. works great and i think is the best rom yet for epic 4g.

(just a side note, when you flash the bml to mtd zip it starts a boot loop, it is supposed to do this according to the guy who created it, your to pull the battery then boot the phone by holding the power, vol down and camera button to boot into cwm again and then flash ICS.) incase someone has this same issue.

BUT Now i have another issue, its nothing major its just annoying as hell. When i open text messages and pop up the keyboard to type, the keyboard doesnt have a enter key, on the bottom right there usually a little arrow pointing to the left where you can space down, in this rom and only when typing in text messages its a smiley face! it looks like this :-) how can i change that to a enter/return key? ive tried different messaging apps and different keyboards so its something with the rom. its probably something simple but im some what of a n00B so i figure just ask.

Thanks again!

If you used the CWM flashble zip to update to the FC09 modem, you may want to odin the modem. I've heard some people have had issues using the flash method.

I've been having voicemail problems for a couple of months now. When I first switched to CM9 I just went the traditional route and called my voicemail. I decided to give the google vm a shot but since I have my gv number forwarding to two phones I didn't like it. I switched the option in the phone app back to carrier and installed the sprint app according to the link below

http://epiccm.blogspot.com/2012/03/customization-guide.html?m=1

When I open the app I never get that it is provisioning. I've tried removing and reflashing the app 3 or 4 times now and I still don't get it. I completely removed this phone from google voice to try and stop the voicemail from forwarding but even with that callers still get sent to my gv account for voicemail. Any ideas?

Edit: to make this whole situation weirder ever since I made these changes whenever someone calls my sprint number, not my gv number, my wifes phone rings as well. I have never done the sprint integration with gv by the way.

CM9 and Groupme

Hey, has anyone had trouble with CM9 and the app GroupMe? I've had trouble with receiving notifications of new messages from it ever since I switched to CM9. This happens/happened with CM9 beta 0 which I installed when it was released and still occurs with beta 4 which I just installed. It worked fine with stock gingerbread as well as with Sleeper Rom.

The new messages notifications would never come. I would then manually go into the GroupMe app and then all the messages would come up with their correct timestamps.

i think it is i am not getting confirmation text from my kindle fire running cm9
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grr18:
Well it seems like there is a "push mode" under settings that seems to solve the problem for now; but apparently its drawback is supposed increased battery drain. Don't know the real life battery life differences, but there is a disclaimer under this option that says uncheck (ie don't use) for better battery life.

Also, I've noticed that when the GroupMe app isn't under running processes (stopped), then I would not get the notifications. But, when it is active, I would get the notifications. Maybe ICS is killing the process intermittently. I don't know, just a guess.

Still awaiting response from the developer. /annoyed
