Issues

Couple of issues. Face recognition FC's, randomly my 3G will disappear and I will have to reboot. When I change modems after Calk's modified wipe my phone reboots and hangs on the first screen. I actually have to reload the ROM. Battery life is pretty poor.

What combination of ROM and modem are you guys using that work the best? I have tried many combinations but haven't found one that has decent battery and 3G appears all of the time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Harvick_29:
Just awesome!

Just wanted to say thanks Calkulin! Outstanding job! :cool: I'm running 1.4 with the FD05 modem for 2 days without doing anything else to it (completely wiped prior to flashing) and it works fantastic! Haven't noticed any problems yet. No battery drain issues at all. I unplugged it from the charger on the way to work at 7am this morning, had bluetooth on, made a couple of short (less than 5 minute) calls, sent some text message and checked my auction on ebay and as of 1020pm this evening, I'm only down to 72%!!! That's without using power saver mode or cpu governors or anything...like I said, 1.4 flashed, modem flashed and gapps flashed, and that's it!

The FD05 modem works the best for me (not many bars where I live, but that's normal...but the 3G data is much faster and more stable now). I think I found my daily ROM now. Not sure where you can improve it, but I'm sure you will somehow! :D:D:D Keep up the great work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrisnosleep:
I had this happen as well. Just hold the power button down and reboot. That's all it took for me.

Do you guys have setCPU installed and or restore from a TB backup?

4G and Wifi Tether

If you use 4G and wifi tether get ready to be frustrated of go back to an older ROM because my phone resets ever 45 minutes. Hope this gets fixed soon. How far back do I need to go to avoid the rebooting issues?? Other than the rebooting the ROM is probably the best out there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aal1:
So far the most stable of the ICS roms that i have ran. Got it on three phones including a white one, no problems. Random reboots happened on other roms but this time i kept setcpu off the phones. I think the script or maybe something else is messing up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mrwright83:
Have anybody been dealing this problem while charging, the phone will cut off but still charge then i would have to manually cut it on myself
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moises1204:
love this rom

I love this rom but the slow wimax data was killing me, no matter what modem i flashed it was still slow, so i went back to 3.0 is so much faster the wimax that is, i wonder if any of you having the same issue with this rom wimax data been so slow?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AndroiDemon:
This ROM is cool and buttery smooth, but I keep getting multiple random reboots :\ After reading the comments here, I can safely say it's entirely 4G related (this only happens when 4G is being used).

After doing some research, I found a few threads that "tweak" the 4G settings (by using ##DATA#, etc) and some people expressed that these tweaks eliminated the random reboot problem.

Well, not true for me, unfortunately. I'm still getting at least 5 random reboots per day. Some people suggested just turning 4G off. I don't consider that to be a solution. I absolutely need to use 4G for work. I'm a consultant, and I tether my laptop to it. If I have to go back to Caulkin's GB (which I was using without a problem before switching to this) I will, but I'd rather fix this problem than run away from it. Still, I gotta work, and I can't afford to have all these reboots.

Does anyone have ANY insight at all in this?? Does anyone have ANY kind of solution for this?

This ROM was a clean install. I did not use the "Wipe all" tool, but I DID wipe everything myself in recovery. I wiped data, cache, d-cache, and battery stats. Could this be the problem? I don't see why it would be, seeing as "Wipe all" is just a script that does the exact same thing, but I'm certainly no Caulkin's expert, either.

This is definitely NOT app-related. It is also not isolated to this ROM! I was running AnaKonda before Caulkins and had the exact same problem. This is clearly an ICS/4G problem only.

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] edlee:
Hey Calk,

Rocking your 1.4/barerom/FD05 Modem, and it is pretty slick, thank you.

Did you notice anything change with FD10, and do you think epic touch will be officially limited to 4.0.3?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nutt318:
No, I did restore all of my apps from a Titanium backup but setCPU is not installed. On Calkulin's E4GT v3.0 i just used the built-in battery saver stuff and it worked great.

Here are 2 screen shots from bad ass battery, phone has been off the charger for 40mins and down to 88%

Should I upgrade to FD05?

Also I've noticed when I setup my work email with Active Sync it account will just randomly remove it self, anyone have this issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stinkbud:
I thanked you for this post because FINALLY someone is having the same **** that I am dealing with.

How slow is your wimax? I pull only 100kbs but I push 1500kbs, so I know it is not my phone's antenna. I tried several ICS roms but they all have the same data issue, please let me know if you get the same thing. And no matter what, I know wimax is working fine with gingerbread.

I called sprint many times (i got my phone used so I told them it came to me rooted) and no one could help. I went to a sprint store and the tech just decided to replace it with a new one...I am picking it up today. I will be returning a phone with a stock, unrooted ICS rom. I will report if the new phone works like it should.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AndroiDemon:
My 4G service is spectacular... when the phone isn't rebooting. I wonder if this issue and mine are interrelated?

Are either of you experiencing random reboots?

And you might want to read this (both of you) and see if this helps:

After a full wipe rom works with no issues, GPS locks, sometimes I lose notifications but thats any easy fix. 4g works without issues and no random reboots..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AndroiDemon:
Are you actually USING 4G or just leaving it on? And either way, for how long??

Could you go to your nearest 4G service spot, find a coffee shop, tether your laptop, and do some surfing for a couple of hours and see if your phone reboots??

Also, the reboot process is quick. Quick enough to escape notice (less than 20 seconds) but still long enough to be annoying as hell.

Anyone else havign charger problems? I have mine plugged into a 500 mA charger at work and in the latest version it sometimes doesn't charge teh battery (actually drains it)...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] killaphatboy:
I have had the issue. Turned out my charger was dying. Bought a new charger and it charges even when playing high-end games. Try a different charger.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JSIN3L33T:
Thought this was in some way a broken system/flash issue but has turned into an annoyance. In the last 2 versions (current and one before that) rom will read your internal memory fine for pictures, movies, videos etc. but from external/sd card this is not the case. You have to literally move/copy anything you want seen by the media scanner to internal memory period. If anyone knows what this is let me know. i'm hoping a common bug xD

BTW Caulkin keep up the epic work bro :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moises1204:
I been getting like 384 some time over 400 kbs download but never pass that, now the upload speed i get 1500 kbs, but as soon as i went to 3.0 i get considerably much faster data 5000, 6000, 9000 kbs down over 3000kbs up, i am an a great wimax area.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] edlee:
stock samsung charger outputs 1000 mA max, so I don't think a 500 mA is a good idea.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
for all with slow data.. just flash the EL29 modem. I have tested them all and el29 is still the best. just because it's the latest modem FB02/FD05 does not make it better.

---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 AM ----------

The Rom has no effect on data speed 3g/4g/wifi. That is modem related, unless you changed your modem. DATA is modem specific. To tell plp your new rom is giving you better speed is misleading for others.

This is for Stinkbud. All the rom flashing in the world will not help DATA speed. Try EL29 and then do a speedtest.

ICS issues.

I have been using the 1.4 ROM since it came out. I think Calk did a great job, and the ROM is pretty smooth. I switched back to E4GT 3.0 because I was fed up with ICS issues. I did a clean install of 1.4 (no data restores)and tried all of the fixes. Honestly, after using several of the ICS ROMS as daily drivers (Goodness, E4GT2 and others), and after returning to E4GT 3.0, I have noticed that E4GT 3.0 (GB) is much smoother and it is slightly faster. It is also a more enjoyable experience.

In the ICS ROM, I had a problem with broken contacts sync with my google account. I was able to repair my contacts only by (1) exporting my phone contacts (v-card file), (2) deleting contacts in google account on my comp, (3) importing them into my google account and (4) deleting my contacts data on my phone. I was able to confirm that making a new contact, even a simple name and number, broke contacts sync with google. This occurred with both stock contacts and with GO Contacts.

I also have had problems with wi-fi sleeping and never waking up. I know that I can set it to be always on, but I don't like that setting. It eats battery.

The GPS turning on randomly issue also seems to have reappeared. I think that it can be traced to the MapServiceSamsung app. I don't know what it does, but it kept popping up. Killing the app also killed the GPS searches.

I kept getting, of course, the notification bug. I know the fixes, but, honestly, I don't care for them. Personal preference.

I also had poor battery life. (Yes, I let the ROM settle). I am guessing that the broken sync, GPS, and wi-fi issues contributed to poor battery life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
+1 TO THIS. I keep coming back also. So far Y'all can have your ICS.

I'm sticking with GB babby. I am a patient man I'll wait for Calk's tweeked official ICS. SEEYA I'M OUTA THIS THREAD.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AndroiDemon:
Well, you certainly seem to be the exception to the rule... I'd love to know what you did differently that many of us missed :\
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
if you have a copy of this rom just unzip it, extract the sounds you like and then use ESfile exp or root explorer to move them to system/media/notifications. whala. also while you are there you can delete the ones ya dont like.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zorachus:
Thank-you. I extracted the ROM to desktop, and pushed via USB to my Nexus, worked like a charm. Some great tones in this file :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stinkbud:
I got a different phone today and what a difference. I get regular 4g now. I say give it a shot, unroot a stock FD02 rom and take it to the repair store and see what happens.

Unfortunately, now I seem to be getting the reboots everyone here has been talking about.....sigh. I love this ROM though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
NP. YW.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zorachus:
Ok I am confused here, it seems this ROM is now 5 rows tall ? Default for the Galaxy S2 is 4x4 grid ? This is at 4x5 or some reason ? How the heck do I switch it back to default 4x4 ?

And one other thing I noticed, the pull down notification shade is fully transparent ? Hard to see stuff in there when you can also see the home screen behind it. Is there a mod to make it more like stock ICS where is it darker background on the shade ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JLine05:
I am on another ICS rom and I downloaded this to get the Touchwiz with the themed icon but when I use it, the wallpaper doesnt scroll. Is this normal with the TW version included in this rom? thanks.

Is there a fix for constant vibration? I'm running v1.4 I flashed the the modified version of calkulin's erase everything and then flashed the tom that's what I usually do if I am just updating the rom. But now if I'm in my browser or messaging my phone will vibrate like 6-7 times it acts like the menu button has been hit 6-7 times without me touching it...hope that makes sense did I flash it incorrectly? Or is there some kind fix for this very annoying.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moises1204:
did you ever try your wimax on a different rom? like 3.0, because my problem only hapens to be with this particular 1.4 rom, once i flash other roms the 4g data works like a champ.

Getting loads of hot reboots while on 4G. v1.3a with the FD02 modem. I noticed that a lot of people in the 'goodness' thread are complaining about hot reboots on 4G as well. Just wanted to give a heads-up that this is an issue with this configuration. I'll try the FD05 modem and see if it's any better.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MRMonaco:
I haven't had any issues with 4G on v1.4 of the ROM on both the FD02 & FD05 modems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crazyninjah1992:
Do you know why it's forceclosing? Obviously you don't I mean is their a way I can stop it? I was thinking of doing and factory reset instead of just erasing the cache and such. Might that help? And when it does happen my menu will come up example if I'm in the browser the setting will pop up then pop down then pop up ect. Without me touching the phone. Ty for the response
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
I think a fresh start will help. Also in recovery try to fix permissions after you have let the rom setin for at least 15 min then reboot letit boot fully then power down to recovery and fix permissions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zx3junglist:
And I am, as well as others. Mijjah74 just confirmed it as a known problem (for some apparently) with his latest build about half an hour ago. So I guess maybe it doesn't affect everyone.

EL29

Can I flash back to one of Calk's gingerbread ROM's by just wiping and flashing if I'm coming from Calk's ICS? Should I do a full format all?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nivron:
I'd strongly advise against that. The recommended method is to ODIN a stock EL26 kernel with CWM and reboot into recovery to flash anything.

People have bricked their phones flashing from ICS ROMs in the past.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
You can't use GB "Data" with ICS builds and it's thrue other way around as well.

You can't use ICS "Data" with GB.

Every time you wanna go from build to build you SHOULD do a full wipe.

Please take this guy's advice! I bricked my last phone that way smh
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evolart:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] todivefor:
Same here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] puff601:
I was doing the same! maybe its fine to flash back and forth as long as you GB recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AndroiDemon:
If anything, the 4G issue is getting worse.

I'll say this: While it's connected, the 4G is great! The problem is, the phone keeps rebooting, about 4-8 times a day, while 4G is on.

Also, there are times when the 3G service just decides to come back on, and I see 3G & 4G icons in my notification area (which tells me 4G is still on, but it can't connect). So I toggle it off and back on, and 4G connects again no problem. That happens about 5-8 times a day as well, completely at random.

Honestly, I'm spending more time waiting for my phone to reboot, or reconnect 4G than I am anything else, and it's starting to really piss me off.

Does ANYONE have ANY kind of solution to this problem?!?!?!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evolart:
Waiting to hear on a fix as well...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] puff601:
My notifications work fine, vibration and sound now... I went into system settings > sound and changed my "default notification" tone, checked "vibrate and ring". I also played around with the "vibration intensity" and its worked fine after playing around in the settings a little. Haven't had any reboots either... GPS works... I flashed straight from calk's GB with no data wipe or anything. Im on 4g now, haven't had any problems so far, but i haven't been connected long... Ill post back results on 4g but as of now, its working fine as well
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AndroiDemon:
I'm trying to find a common denominator here...

For those of you claiming that you aren't getting the random reboots: Did you flash "Bare Rom" at any point??

And for those of you like me that ARE getting the random reboots: Same question.

If I find that people who flashed Bare Rom are NOT getting the reboots, (I haven't flashed that) yet people who did not use it ARE getting the reboots, we'll be one step closer to solving this problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrisnosleep:
I did the "Format All" as well as wiping cache and dalvik first. Then flashed Calkulins ROM. Booted the phone up. Shut it down. Then installed the "Bare ROM Converter". Booted back up. Shut down. Used CWM to load several different modems(ended up on FC15 with PRL 12119). Then used "My Backup Root" to install my selection of always used apps with ADW Launcher being one of the most important. And for me, this ROM has been running great! The only minor issue I have seen is having to tap for a split second longer than I did on the GB OEM ROM, but thats no biggie for me. No FC's, no LOS, no loss of notification or anything other than what I've mentioned. And a big THANK YOU to Calkulin for this!

And if you are having problems with your GPS, try launching the "GPS Status" program (found in the market) first. Then whatever GPS program you're trying to get working. Works every time for me!

But are you using 4G actively, and for long periods of time? This seems to only affect phones that are staying in 4G (and using it, not just leaving it on)

Also, has anyone else experience a TOTAL lack of vibration in Handcent?
