Roaming is OK, it's off-network roaming data in excess of 300MB that is mostly driving Sprint's crap. And there IS NO WAY to tell. This off-network roaming data is not exposed to us, and it appears to be something only Sprint has access to, even though they tell their customers that they're using too much of it.

Talk about messed up... I miss my E4GT:thumbup:, but NOT Sprint! :thumbdown:

Edit: This is somewhat off-topic. There is a thread discussing Sprint roaming issues at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1560756 ;)

Most people don't know it but BetterBatteryStats is designed to be ONLY read after the phone has been on battery and NOT being used for a minimum of 2-3 hours (overnight is best). The thinking is, if the phone doesn't sleep well, that contributes to a huge loss and it affects the daily battery life also in between actual usage.

I haven't taken the time to figure out a lot of the new ICS services that show up there but you can always search the BBS homethread or post there if you can't find the info on what the service is. Everyone is very helpful there. :)

Hey Im using the kobridge Aggressive tweak and getting decent battery when my screen is off with acceptable wakelocks. However when my screen is on my battery seems to drain VERY FAST!

I keep my brightness on 20% and dont always have the best signal bit its like the phone is running too hot or something. It gets very hot very fast and Im wondering if someone causing too much cpu usage..? Any ideas how I cud check this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xpanmanx:
Thanks for this.

I want to remove kobridge's tweaks to compare battery drain against Calk's tweaks, and the stock settings.

I was thinking of flashing ko's FF02Stock.zip to remove his tweaks, then your Calk.v1.6_Tweaks_Removal.zip to be sure I'm running stock.

Then if I wanted I could either flash ko's FF02KOB_TWv3.4M.zip or your Calk.v1.6_Tweaks_Stock.zip, depending on what strikes my fancy at that moment.

Think I'm safe to proceed?

Thanks for all you do, td.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sycobob:
That's still high. For comparison, I'm at 66 hours on the battery (there's a partial charge in there. I can easily get that long without a charge though, but I've been using it pretty heavily lately):

CPU Total: 2h 49m

Stay Awake: 6h 12m

Android OS is at 29% and that's higher than it normally is. Screen on time is a little over 3h. So under ideal circumstances, your CPU and Awake should be about 1/15th of mine, which it's certainly not.

I'd try doing a full wipe and reflashing the ROM. If it still isn't better do one more flash without a wipe just to be sure. I came from CM9 a3, did a full wipe, and didn't change anything (no Kobridge tweaks or anything) and was immediately getting 3-4 days of standby or a full 24 hours of pretty heavy usage. I drain .5% - 1% per hour with ~3 bars of signal. I also reboot before I charge because I've noticed one of my apps will use 3g constantly in the background sometimes and I haven't bothered figuring out which yet.

Be careful using the Kobridge tweaks, there's an older version that makes battery life worse, plus imho it's not needed with this ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
They all are designed to overwrite each other so flash away. ;)

Silence in call MMS notification

For those of you that get a zillion text messages, this should silence the sound notification while on a call. Unfortunately, it removed vibration notification along with the sound too (while in-call) but it works otherwise. Posting the stock MMS as well. Tnx - TD

Edit: This works only with the built-in MMS app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mrsmdh:
I love this ROM. Great battery life.

I haven't had any force closes from turning on and off 4g.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
The problem still exists for the 4g reboot issue (at least for most users that keep it on always). The problem only happens when 4g is left on and connected for an extended period of time. It has been reported to happen at regular intervals. When I was testing for this, it would happen almost exactly at 1 hr intervals. I did note that unless you have an app open that always remains running (I was testing with Slacker Radio), our phone reboots so fast that you may miss the reboot unless you're looking right at the phone (or have an app running that is missing when you check the phone next like I did with Slacker).

Remove AM/PM

Attached is a mod to remove the AM/PM from the status bar.

As always, I've also attached the stock file so you can restore the setting if you like. Thanks - TD

UPDATE: Added 1x/3g fix to this mod.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Show 1X/3G instead of just 3G

Here is another mod to fix the 1x/3g display. Without this, the icon on the status bar would never display 1x, just 3g.

If you are already trying out the AM/PM mod above, I already included this mod. No need to flash this. Thanks - TD.

I like the text notification while I'm on a call but wish it wasn't so loud. Is there a way to have the sound but just not as loud? Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Yup, know exactly what you mean because I also actually use my phone as a phone (unlike OTHER people that just want to see how long they can keep their screen on before the battery dies :rolleyes: ).

I don't have a good answer for you sorry. This is the only workaround so far that I know of.

Thanks

I just wanted to thank you for this information. Ive been on this rom for about 2 weeks and just about every time i opened my camera the screen would brighten up, the phone would freeze, then it would reboot. Annoying to have to borrow the wifes icrap to take a pic. I searched the forum this afternoon and found this. I was underclocking/volting using Rom Toolbox. Returned everything to normal and now the only problem ive had with this rom has been fixed.

I am using kobridges tweak 3.5M and haven't had any problems with that. I hope I can still get 20 hrs out of my phone now.

Thanks again guys especially you Calkulin.:good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :

Hi Dan, I PM'd him the day we spoke about it. Heck I would have put the money up personally and let you and him figure out where to send it while we raised the money. But he hasn't replied back. I think if you post it at a fair price someone will snap it up in a heartbeat!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NoSpamDan:
Sorry, if I didn't have the Amazon option I would be more flexible on the price. The Amazon off-contract price for a new one is $529.99... I paid close to $200 for mine, ON-contract.

What do you consider "fair"?

Sent from somewhere in Galaxy SII...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Don't want to drive up the price for anyone here (I'm sure you would be fair about it) but I'm seeing them going for up to $300 here in the Tampabay area on Craigslist. I wouldn't wait too long. I have a feeling we're going to see a lot more as people continue to upgrade to the GS3.

It depends on the market you're looking to sell it in (ie. XDA, Craiglist, Ebay)

CWM help with this ROM.

I looked through the thread and didnt see an answer to this.

I am trying to flash a new ROM and am currently on Calk's E4GT 2 v1.6 ICS FE22 ROM. My issue is with CWM. I can boot into CWM, but my volume rockers are non-responsive. All I can do is reboot, as I cannot go up and down the menu.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scud626:
If that is the case using odin maybe your only option to re flash the rom again or a different recovery. Is the rockers working when your phone is running normally. It maybe a bad download too so I would re download any file before flashing

I'm pretty sure this phone just has a crappy radio not much we can do about it. I have to use roam control in certain areas just to get dependable service.

Edit: Everyone has different results with different modems. You'll have to experiment with it a little.

You might be using gps for your weather app. Open Maps and see if the location is correct. Also go into the app settings and put your zip code in and do not select anything that might use your location.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 11secEVO:

The search thread option is missing for now. I think it had to do with XDA being down for a while yesterday. It will probably be corrected soon.

You download it to your PC. You unzip it. You turn on Debugging in your phone's Settings. You plug your phone into your PC and you run apply-patch.

Apply-patch does the rest, connects to your phone via ADB, pulls the two APKs, decompiles them, patches them, and then uploads them back to your phone and reboots your phone.

It's really easier than it sounds.

Click on the big red KOBRIDGE TWEAK PACK V3.5, download the attachment, unzip it on your pc first (very important, this has the flashable zips within the first zip). Copy the entire folder over to your phone and flash whichever tweak you want to try.

A = Aggressive

M = Moderate

F = Fast

SF = Super Fast
