[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TonyTurboII:
Yeah, go back to a stock ROM.

hotspot

Has anyone had issues with the hotspot in this ROM dropping connection i'm trying to use my e4gt to give my tablet a data connection while mounted in my truck but the hotspot drops the connection far too often my question is if I was to Odin back to stock and take ota update would it solve this issue (other than having to pay for the hotspot) or is it just an issue with sprints network? 3g usually works well with my phone but it's when I tether it to my tablet is when I run into issues....does anyone have a fix for this I never had this issue with my evo but from what I understand this phone uses unsatisfied rather than ad hoc ...I just need this to work any help is greatly appreciated
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asbjörn:
Nope...definitely don't use the touch recovery to flash anything ICS related. U might brick ur phone!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrisnosleep:
I just watched a 2 hour movie on my wifi tablet using the hotspot on Netflix. And my phone was only getting 1-2 bars. Didn't drop once. I would say check your tablet for issues.

Sfhub has it in his signature. It works great.

Instagram

Is there a reason Instagram doesn't work with this ROM? Keeps force closing. Prior ROMS had it working.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrisnosleep:
I think what everyone is asking for is a CWM flashable FD10 modem. NOT one that has to be flashed with Odin. I am away from my desktop for the weekend so i need something mobile.

Edit: Sorry, sfhub does have the CWM modem. Follow the link in his signature. Its there...

How do i take a screen shot i usually hold the power button and it would give me the option but its no longer there
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rashnet:
Down volume and power, hold both for a few seconds. At least that is what works for me.

Can we put themes on this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wherestheanykey:
I am new to ice cream sandwich and have a question. I have a google voice number that is not my sprint number. In gingerbread i would install the voice app and run the setup. During this it would ask me if i wanted to use voice for all calls, or international calls, or ask every time. And I could put a settings widget on my home screen, that would let me change this selection by tapping one button. And my native text app and voice text app were completely separate. But since loading this ROM, I see voice is already installed as a system app, and that during setup it doesn't ask what calls I want to use it for anymore, and just sets it to use for all calls. And now my native text app shows my texts coming from the voice number instead of my actual number. And I can't seem to do anything to change this, even if I go into the settings of google voice and log out. Now all of my calls going out or coming in are using my voice number, and all of my texts are showing as my voice number. Is there no longer any way to use my two numbers seperatly? Can't I turn google voice off if I don't want to use it? Can't I use my sprint number for my native texts and only user my voice number when texting from that app?

Wifi Direct (Widi????)

Just noticed at the bottom of the standard android "share" menu there is an option for Wifi Direct. Is this the thing where you can stream to a tv that has the Widi (i think thats what it's called) capabilities? Also, does it work? Will it work with a computer?

thanks for the feed back it worked :)

Is anyone getting terrible battery life? Should I try a different kernel? I'm attaching a screenshot of my battery usage. Is kernel usage supposed to be very high?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dalton1091:
I don't think the issue is with the tablet because on a wifi network it dies the lose connection tion also the tablet is the samsung galaxy tab 10.1 wifi bone stock untooted.... Any other ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TonyTurboII:
As it has been said multiple times in almost every ICS thread, this is a ICS issue and you can still use Instagram if you change the camera mode from Advanced to Basic in the settings.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrisnosleep:
Could your phone be getting a bad signal? I was returning home from a 6 hour trip today and as I got close to my home town, my signal went to crap. On my phone I got a message saying my plan may not include the hotspot feature, or something to that effect, and then it shut the hotspot down. But it was on for at least 5 hours from Texas to Kansas without any problems. Are you getting any messages like this on your phone? Have you ever had your tablet connected to the hotspot?

Have you heard of "Wifi Tether"? http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

They just released a new beta a few days ago. However, I have not tried it on ICS yet, so who knows if it works. And plus, when I was using it on the GB EL29 ROM, I had to root my 10.1 Galaxy Tablet and change some settings in order for it to connect in Ad-Hoc mode. Wifi Tether is supposed to have Infrastructure mode capabilities, but I could never get it to work with the old versions. After reading comment number 177 here(http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=11) it looks like they may have finally fixed the infrastructure issue.

If you feel like you have to go back to GB, I would recommend getting a rooted version, then just use Wifi Tether from it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dalton1091:
yeah i had actually tried wifi tether before but couldnt get it to work on my et4g it was fine on my evo though but i got the new beta and it seems much more stable and actually faster than the hotspot app which i dont understand but im not arguing with it lol anyways thanks for the help i was stumped with that one usually i leave everyone alone here but i needed help with this one but i appreciate it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AVAH0LIC:
Mine is awful too. Like worse than ever, even tried starting and flashing fresh. Still getting 5-10% drain in just a few minutes of browsing online or even texting. Thought i was seeing things when i went from 79% to 66% after just checking the bball scores with sports tap lol

I mean dont get me wrong the features are cool and Im definitely staying with this. Just have been tempted to return to Calks GB.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weboide:
Battery has been bad in FD02 and FD05 for me as well, but I flashed FD10 saturday, and battery life has much improved!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Siflan:
Thanks! I guess I didn't do a deep enough inquiry.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Instagram advanced camera works with my FD02, FD05 and FD10 roms.

I guess it's not ICS build. May be something in tweaks and scripts of this rom breaks it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wherestheanykey:
Can we flash directly to another ICS ROM via CWM from this one, or is it still recommended going back to stock rooted EL29 first?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] douglaslem88:
Thanks, I tried to ODIN to a stock EL26 with CWM but I got a bad MD5 error. Any idea what I did wrong?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zachspda:
Does anyone have issues with calls going straight to vm. I did not have.this issue with 2.9.2 and earlier. When this happens I don't get calls txts or emails until I make a call. Any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Admiral2145:
Might have los... What modem you on?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bielinsk:
I don't think there is LOS anymore. I think LOS always had something to do with 4g, and I think now in the new builds, instead of LOS, we get a random reboot.

While it still sucks, it is better than LOS. LOS is a dead phone without knowing its dead.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iahk:
Oh wow, this is very very odd. That was the exact problem I had with my evo. I never found out what caused it. I believe it started happening to me around April 2011 or so. I attributed it to a radio update, but I was never able to prove it as I never got around to rolling back to an older radio. The symptons were exactly as you described though. It was like the phone radio goes into some sleep and doesn't wake up until YOU do something to wake it up (make outgoing call or text). Data works perfectly fine though. But incoming calls and sms/mms notifications don't come in since the phone radio just acts dead. Also, if I can recall, it generally happened when I did something to turn off the phone radio, such as turning on airplane mode. When I turned off airplane mode, this issue would occur.

Never happened on this SGS2 though. Good luck. I hope you figure it out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] athex:
Does anyone have issues with the "Update security settings for <this account>" when using exchange email through their work? I keep having this issue and cannot seem to remove it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] android addicts:
Looks like this method work fine. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I've had this issue about 3 times this month. Happened on 2 different roms. Changing modems didn't help and calls went straight to VM. Making a call didn't help either. Sprint problem? I even called Sprint at one point to reset my account settings but it eventually worked its way out and I don't know why.

Edit: Last time, I fought with this at work for about 2 hours with no results. After I drove home and hit another tower, it started working again and I haven't had any problems since. Still think it's a sprint problem. Next time, I'm going to force roaming to see if that's what it is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AndroiDemon:
Any word on this??

---------- Post added at 01:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

This is SERIOUSLY the best answer anyone has???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jb8301:
Does anyone else get the notification in their ear, even when on a call for texts, etc? Like you actually hear it over the phone call?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bryank930:
Yes. I can't find an option to disable it either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jb8301:
So I put the FD10 modem on this ROM and it seems to have HORRIBLE battery life with it, has anyone else tried this or suggest just using FD02. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ----------

My coworker also said that the Touchwiz Launcher could be part of the battery drain on this, does that make sense to anyone? If so, should I use the stock one or Nova or something...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] waxrock:
I had FD10 on v1.3 and I also had abysmal battery life. I don't think it's touchwiz since I was using Go Launcher.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gti151:
I wish I DID get some sort of notification while on calls. It's driven me nuts as long as i've had this phone not to be able to have a clue someone's texted or emailed while i'm on a call unless I pull it away from my ear and look.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bklynfire:
Newbie Question

is this rom newer and better than E4GT 3.0 rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] socalborn:
This is ICS so yes it is much newer. 3.0 is Gingerbread. Not to be rude but if you just read a little, it's right in the title.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iahk:
Yes, this is newer, but if it's better would depend on you.

Look closely at the name of the rom and you'll notice there's 2 versions.

Calkulin's E4GT v3.0 = Based on gingerbread

Calkulin's E4GT 2 v1.4 = Based on ICS
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TonyTurboII:
Yes. If you need uncompromising reliability, go back to a stock released rom.

You're the one getting "pissed" that there isn't a team of people working on the problem directly for you - multiple ICS ROMs have this issue, so go back to GB if this is unacceptable.

---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------

Yes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rashnet:
As I've said before I only lose my notification sounds when I hit back or home right after ending a phone call. Today I noticed if I do that and lose the notification sounds all I have to do to get them back is make a phone call and not hit back or home after ending it and the sounds are back.

I also was wondering about 4.0.4 ICS I see some other developers are releasing 4.0.4 ROMs how did they get 4.0.4 and is there any major difference between that and 4.0.3?

Btw been running this since the day it was released and have to say I like it aside from the battery life. The notification sounds thing doesn't bother me much. I have noticed that some games with ads force close a lot on.one type of ad not sure why. But thanks Calk for the hard work and support.

E
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TonyTurboII:
The 4.0.4 builds are usually open source vanilla android builds. This one is based off a Samsung leak.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmeridith:
I love the rom but I had to go back to GB. I kept getting random reboots even after wiping everything multiple times. I even went back to stock rooted and reloaded it with same results.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] r80ies:
Same here. I was having super bad battery drain. Yesterday was the final straw. I was at my kids doc appointment and the phone burned 70% battery in nearly 4 hours. Once I rebooted the phone started to use deepsleep and 35% lasted me 4 more hours. I really miss ics but I missed good battery life even more. Furthermore, instagram advance camera works on Caulks GB 3.0 and no more random rebooted on 4g. Notifications are back as is battery savings. One other little quirk for me was fix and that was playing music in Spotify would randomly pause. Going back to GB rom helped me figure out the app causing that crash.

Thanks caulk for all your hard work on both your Roms.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ky0nkyon:
To go back to gingerbread, do we have to Odin stock or can we flash from the given cwm? I know i read the answer somewhere but forgot and cannot search with the app. The battery drain is too intense. Thanks in advance.

Also anyone have experience with the aokp rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bklynfire:
best if u go back to odin

Does anyone know how to remove the google search widget from every screen?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] edlee:
I was using this Rom with decent battery on one of the earlier modems, i think fd02 or fd05, but ever since I have been using FD10/FD16 the battery drains the first ten percent in 15 minutes.

I am not sure if its related to the kernel or the modem.

But i am praying that sammy merges 4.0.4 into the next leaks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jb8301:
Is anyone losing their data connection at all, like to where you need to restart the phone to get it back...been noticing this a couple times this week....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerdog:
Here let me fix the above for you....

Also read the XDA Mantra
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrisnosleep:
Whoa there. You do understand this is a development ROM, in other words TRIAL software? If it doesn't work for you, don't use it. It's worked flawlessly for me and many others. Go back and reread the installation procedure and try again, or just go back to GB.

Everyone in here, except you, appreciates the dev's hard work and posts like yours do nothing but drive the dev's away.

Calkulin, the ROM is great, keep up the good work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AndroiDemon:
I apologize. His condescending attitude is VERY frustrating.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Subiegsr:
Yeah I'm getting horrible battery life with the FD10 modem, I'm going to try the FD16 and if its still bad I'm going back to FD02. I'm pretty sure it's directly related to the modem, i was rocking FD02 for a week and the battery life was pretty decent.

On another note, sometimes my phone's notification sounds won't go off when I receive a text. Anyone else have this issue? It seems to only happen on ICS roms for some reason, usually a reboot fixes it temporary.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Snager:
Bad Battery Life issue resolved for me

I been having poor battery issues on almost every version of ICS. I didn't really look into it too much. And about a week ago i saw a post about an app called "Badass Battery Monitor". I've installed it and checked on what was using up most of my battery. For me Facebook was the culprit! It was using up almost 80% of my battery. I have since then unintalled Facebook and installed Friendcaster and never looked back. My phone will last me a good ~14 hours on casual usage. So anyone having issues with their battery, install the app and see whats eating up your battery. It might just be simple as an app going crazy.

Facebook app has a bug where the GPS turns on to get a lock and even when exiting the app it will continue to search for a GPS lock. And there is no option to turn off GPS access from the app. Also it FCed a lot. For a comapny with so much money and resource I would think they make a better app then what they have now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carlangas20:
OK I think i found a bug, sometimes when I free memory on task manager my current wallpaper "resets" and goes back to the default yellow/blue wallpaper.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] docprego:
It's an option in the Nova Launcher settings.

Nova Settings->Desktop->Persistent Search Bar->Never
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TonyTurboII:
It blows me away how many people just do not understand this. Its unreleased for a reason.

That and the fact that a simple search will 9 times out of ten point out known issues not in the OP.

I went back to FD05, battery life much improved!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neudof:
Here is what i did to get my gps to lock. I came from the rooted fb27 rom and was not getting a lock there

1 - turned on GPS

2 - tried google maps - no lock

3 - tried gps status - no lock

4 - ##gpsclrx# and entered msl

5 - cleared data in gps status and google maps

6 - fixed permissions in rom manager

7 - rebooted to stock recovery and cleared cache

Now i am able to get a lock in everything :D

Sent from my ICS'ed out SPH-D710
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
yea man no worries.

I have experienced the GPS lock stuck issue. only once or twice. simple reboots fixes it.

I also get FC on imei keyboard.

and sometimes in gallery(messing with wallpapers).

doing a full charge now and gonna wipe battstats and see if that improves my battery stability(thanks john, kind of forgot about calibrating,)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] svtisland:
Problem on mine is ##gpsclrx# doesn't work. It just have the popup window and nothing happens. Only way to resolve the gps hang issue is to reboot the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdcrds:
Ok maybe someone can help.

I decided to take the chance and flash this.I did a backup so after the install nothing was working the way i wanted so i wanted to go back to what i had.Well i used the arrow up power button to get into recovery and i got the blue recovery.

So i went to clockwork and seen my backup but when i clicked on it nothing happened.Anyway what can i do to get out of this and back to the old the easy way.

Right now i am on the new beta 2 with fb27 modem as i am reading in about phone.

How can i get back to what i had? As i stated when i reboot i go into old blue recovery and as said i can see my latest backup but nothing happens when i select it :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tiffany84:
Well the way I did it in the past, which is a little more work than some may like but I like playing it safe. I used the one click method to restore the stock EL29. Then I used mobile odin, or you can use Odin from the pc to flash the EL29 re-pack with CWM. Once you have CWM then you can boot into recovery and restore your backup like you usually do. Like I said, I know it's a longer way then some would do but I like taking the way with the less risks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
goto temp recovery via rom manager. there are instructions like every couple pages back. maybe it will restore from there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdcrds:
Where do i get the 1 click method to get to el29? thanks.

Had this running for 24 hours, saw gps come on with nothing running. I used the reboot option from the power menu after waiting 20 minutes for it to go away. Upon reboot, the phone locked up after being on my home screen for about 5 seconds. I waited 5, pulled the battery and started it up again...same result. Also tried going to stock recovery and wiping cache...same result. After a few more reboots and laugh methods I realized I was stuck w no option but back to GB. No issues before that at all and great battery life...avoid the reboot option!

do you generally have to wait a few days like you do when you flash new roms to notice a difference? Or with a modem can you generally notice right away?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Then you should use Nova or Apex. Stock ICS launcher has a persistent search bar because the Galaxy Nexus which was the reference device for 4.0 does not have a search key. Though that excuse bothers me since its techinically 4.0 thats lacking the search key I mean they are soft keys....
