Hmmm now I'm wondering about this. My Exchange server has been offline for 48 hours, and in that time my Exchange services on my phone averaged 64% wakelock according to BetterBatteryMeter.

Any word on a fix for 4g reboot issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Handsome_Rob:
+1 to this? Could it be the modem that's doing this? Was on "The Goodness" RT and was having the same issue
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
That is a very good question. Everyone is so hung up on the ICS modems, has anyone bothered trying the stock modems? I've been on the EL29 modem forever but I don't really use 4G that much. (The ICS modems don't make any difference for me so I quit using them)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anastrophe:
thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU.

after suffering through really horrendously bad battery life on all of the E4GT2 roms (as in, fully charged when i go to bed at midnight, reporting 30% remaining at 8am after being off all night), this finally did the trick. i'm using 'Aggressive', and now my phone when off spends virtually all its time in 'deep sleep' instead of sitting at 200mhz. over night i go from 100% down to about 86%. woot!

what a difference. THANK YOU.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MarcAntonyy:
I've been away for some time. I see the ICS for ICS is no longer supported. I looked around, but wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something - so as of now, there's no ICS theming available for this, correct?

I loathe the look of TW =p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Awesome dude, glad it helped out. I know it's no fun when it doesn't work like it should. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 11secEVO:
Is this what you downloaded? Kobridge Tweak Pack v3.4
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I downloaded the v3.3 which was the current one at the time. I think 3.4 is fine to use now too, just make sure you get the right one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] uh60donjr:
I've been looking on this forum for months, ever since v 1.4 came out. what i don't understand is why more users aren't commenting on the 4g issue. Are that many not using 4g, because its not just a reboot issue. Since 1.4, and since installing the kobridge tweaks...its not changing. Now, I saw someone say the reboot was accelerated while using the wifi-tether...but I'm here to say...after 30 minutes it turns off, regardless of the tether. What also sucks is that after the reboot, texts, internet, phone calls...nothing works, until i reboot myself. It's the worst thing in the world. I'm surprised how many markets have 4g, and if im in a place that has it, i have to make sure i turn it off until i need to use it. I could be on the phone...reboot....text....reboot....internet....reboot....downloading....reboot....game....reboot....why aren't there more people talking about this???????? are we really waiting for samsung to release their ICS rom before this gets fixed?? by that time 1.5 will be out and ICS will be obsolete. I just don't understand. By the way...my installation of these roms are exactly what they need to be. This 4g issue ....wow...and whats also surprising is that the other rom leaks that are released do not mention this 4g bug in their ongoing rom issues...I'm here to say...4g is messed up....30 minutes...really?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] edlee:
I am sorry to say this but maybe the way ics works plays differently with the hardware of ur device, ur phone sounds defective. I never had reboot on 4g issue and i live in metro nyc.

Try going back to el29 or sending ur phone through warranty service.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] uh60donjr:
well, that could be why. but to have other users have the same problem, i find it hard to believe that many epic 4g touchs' have hardware problems. and 3g does not reboot.

---------- Post added at 09:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------

Ok....well apparently because "more people don't have reboot issues than ones that do", i guess it's not an issue, and for all of us that have an issue with this, i guess we're SOL. I just don't understand. I've been rooted since i got this phone, and GB worked fine. It's been since i installed an ICS rom that 4g got all mucked up. But, I will give thanks to all rom builders. You have knowledge beyond my own, and you do one hell of a job. I just wish this one thing didn't slip through. Oh well, maybe my post will jumpstart something someone didn't know, because it really doesn't help when someone posts "my phone is fine, yours must be screwed up", when that really wasn't why i posted. Thanks for all the hard work, but i guess I won't find what im looking for...until i get a new phone i guess.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
At least you're keeping calm about the whole thing. I've seen a lot of ranting and raving posts about how this or that STILL doesn't work.

ICS is basically still an experimental build that the developers have no control over. I think more of them as 'modifiers' than developers at this stage of the game. Since the source has not yet been released, all they can do right now is to learn as much as they can by tweaking and modifying the UI. Some of the major problems related to the phone radio and kernel will have to be addressed later. Honestly, you are much more patient than I. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] uh60donjr:
Well, i wont exactly use the word patient. Since going to ics, under 4g, ive rebooted so many times ive lost count, and it is quite aggravating to be in the middle of a phone call and it just turns off because its a 4g issue. My first post about this didn't exactly exude calmness, but i realized if its not an issue it can't be forced to fix. I used to enjoy finding 4g areas...now the word "dread" comes to mind. Thank you for the post though. Put me in a better mood, and i do wish it was an issue that was fixed.

Since I brought it up a few posts ago, have YOU tried going to a stock modem yet (instead of an ics modem)? You would be the perfect candidate to try that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] uh60donjr:
I did actually see that post. For some reason it didn't click that the rom might not be the issue, and as i type this now, i feel pretty dumb not thinking the ics modem was to blame. I will definitely try that and see if my problem changes or goes away.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] uh60donjr:
Well, isn't this a light of hope. I've been up and running for nearly an hour now and I have not rebooted yet. I will be in Phoenix all day and will test this out more. See? That's what I'm talking about. Solutions. One post triggered an answer to this issue. Maybe the modems are to blame and "newer isn't really better." Thanks Tdunham for the replies. You gave me new hope.

Edit: hmmm, well, it rebooted...at one hour...but 4g came back on after reboot...so i dont have to manually reboot...grr, it has to be a setting somewhere...if only i knew what...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ih8crackerbarrel:
Please make sure to update on how the 4G reboot issue goes today. It's really annoying but I'll let you be my guinea pig. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tizonly1:
I reboot once every hour on 4G. I thought everyone did...

My solution is to just not run 4G that much. I don't ever really NEED to have 4G on for that long at any given time. I use it, then cut it, then turn it back on when I need it again. I haven't had a reboot in months doing it this way. Plus I save battery...

Yeah, it's an annoying bug, but it's not something that's that huge of a deal in practice, if you're attentive at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] badkarmah187:
Just installed this over Cakulin's 3.0 Gingerbread rom. 1st time on ICS, it's pretty stable as far as I can tell. Everything seems to work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] uh60donjr:
Well, that is true, and at times i've gotten to the point where i do turn it off if i don't use it. But I have noticed if I'm in a 4g area, 3g runs extra slow, like 1g speeds, that's why I try to keep it on, but I have learned the time limit, so if I'm downloading a big file that can be paused, i will do so so I can recycle the 4g, but alot of wasted bandwidth and downloads happen for me because of thus, mainly because this is my main source of internet instead of WiFi. I even attempted to change the 4g settings in ##3282#, to no avail. I wonder if because 4g needs more power, the scripts that save battery power could be the issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kazp3r17:
I have been on 1.6 since the release now and lately I've been experiencing problems with data loss or a decrease in the data speed once my battery percentage reaches below 40%,
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Didn't someone say it was doing it on stock rooted also though?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I would think it's related to tweaks and to build itself since it has been present thru last couple of leaks.

This phone doesn't take undervolting too good. Some phones are OK with it but most are not.

I've been reading accross the board and there are not too many complaints about reboot on 4G in other rom threads. Every dev is using his/her own set of tweaks and some of them are not working well with ICS. I've been thru 7-8 different tweaks till I found combination that works for my rom. It give only avergage speed and average battery, not too aggressive but it works.

May you guys should try to tweak battery tweaks in rom or try to use different ones and see if that will improve the situation.

Just a thought.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
That is another really good idea. I've already posted a flash for those on KO's tweaks to come back to Calk's, maybe I should also post a flashable that will strip all the tweaks out altogether to see if anyone notices any difference in 4G issues?

Calk Init.d tweak removal - for testing

Ok, here is a flashable to remove all of the init.d tweaks installed with this ROM for those users that are experiencing issues with 4G to test out. I am not going to touch the Build.prop tweaks yet, please test this one out first and let me know if it makes any difference.

Thanks man. Just downloaded and will test tomorrow. You're the bomb.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Thanks Dave. I wish I could help the testing but my 4G service is pretty spotty here. FYI, don't expect stellar battery life without the init.d tweaks. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] uh60donjr:
Is init.d tweaks such a good thing?

I've also downloaded and removed the init.d tweaks, and I think I'm going to be a little shocked. First, I'm going to be driving from Barstow, CA to Ohio, so there are a couple of 4g areas I can test, but the shocker is...I'm noticing a slower battery drain and faster response from my phone. It seems like my battery is better. I've only lost 1% battery since its taking me forever to type this on my phone...is init.d tweaks better for epic 4g....i will continue to test this too...

---------- Post added at 09:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 AM ----------

But I have to say that battery life wasn't that crucial to me though. If I noticed my phone needed a charge I charged it. I do recall the words that Android sucked at battery life anyway. I just accepted it. But the battery draw is definitely noticeable. But its what i expect. I'm using the phone. Its gonna draw power...it just seems ...slower. Sorry. This sounds like a redundant post...my phone definitely feels different. 4g test coming soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] badkarmah187:
1st 24 hours

OK, I've been using this rom for almost 24 hours. The only thing that seems to be broken is Sprint HotSpot is rebooting the phone when in use. Andriod tether doesn't seem to be crashing at all.

4G data seems to be fine, and did not reboot once. Connectivity was pretty good most of the day.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jcazes:
I'm sure it's been mentioned in this thread already, but for anyone experiencing terrible battery life with this rom, do a hard reset and start over! I was getting 12-14 hours (at most!) and after the reset I'm getting almost 2 days. Here's a SS @ 41% remaining:

Granted, this is before I've re-installed all of my apps, but it proves you can get good battery life from the ROM itself with careful control of your apps.

4G Rebooting Issues?????

So this ROM still has rebooting issues?? The Goodness has had the issue resolved for months. This ROM would hands down be the best if there still wasn't a 4G rebooting issue. Oh well, guess I'll stick with the Goodness even though I can't stand everything being the color blue...it makes the software look oldish.

Ok, so I'm in the 4g area of Albuquerque, NM, and as i type this message, i have exceeded the 1 hour up time on my phone, and have not experienced a reboot. I've been connected to 4g the whole time. So, with my phone having better response, better battery life, and for now the longest run time without a reboot under 4g, i don't see myself using init.d tweaks again for my epic. Its running the best its ever. Now, I will definitely update if any of this changes, but for now removing init.d tweaks seemed to have been the problem. I'm real glad I spoke up, and brought new light to this issue. For me it seems to be fixed. I haven't used the hotspot yet (wifi-tether), but i hope the problem doesn't come back with that. Thank you for posting the download to remove the tweak. So far...so good. Up time 1:15...no reboot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Very cool. Let's see how it goes for you. I really wish I could help but I don't get 4g at home and not in one spot long enough to test it out when I do get it.

Lmao Don. I just spotted your sig... no init.d tweaks huh? :D

I'm still using EL29 modem too btw.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] uh60donjr:
Awwwwww....every time i post...something changes....experienced a reboot at 1:20...well my phone still has great batt life and good response as far as speed, so I stick behind that as far as not running tweaks....but removing init.d does not fix reboot, just delayed it a little longer. Oh well, i guess the "build" is next??

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Yeah, I'm not convinced that build.prop will do the trick and I'm not about to start ripping sections out of the stock FE22 rom and replacing em here to satisfy the 4g problem. Plus I think this is a minority thing. I'm not making light of it because I know some people depend on and enjoy their 4G but I think a majority of users probably just turn it on (if it's available) when they need it and then turn it off when they don't to save battery. Well, they should be doing it that way anyway. :rolleyes:

I think it was Dave that just said, I like my phone, I use it, the battery gets low, so I charge it.

And that's all he had to say about that. :D

Build.Prop info

I know that the init.d file contains info regarding CPU speeds and governors and such, but what does the build.prop contain?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
The build.prop does several things. It sets up the system info for your phone so the 'build' information that gets displayed is correct. But more importantly, it sets important variables like cache size settings, a bunch of speed and delay settings for things like the phone ringer and camera/media speed, default sounds, other service settings that get loaded at boot time.

I hope others might have tried this and wonder if they have this same result....to know that its not a fluke...now your post TD said the build.prop contains all those settings. If the build.prop is removed...what settings then take over? No reboot. Wow...longest up time yet...lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Well good for you, let's keep testing it.

LOL, I'm using KO's aggressive tweaks v3.3 (init.d & custom build.prop) and managed to get almost exactly 1 hour on 4g listening to slacker radio and you could have set a stop watch because sure enough, mine rebooted at the 1 hr mark. Unfortunately, like I said, I'm 4G challenged here so I'll try testing it again with the full tweak (stock FE22 build.prop/all init.d scripts removed) removal another time.

Edit: I'm gonna wipe cache & davlik too at the same time just like you did, can't hurt especially with the change in build.prop does alter a bunch of davlik settings. If I had the time, I might update/add that to the full tweak removal but it won't be til later today.

4g update...a reboot occured

While using my epic, after my last post, i went to download a widget to keep tabs on my uptime from the home screen, and as usual, it rebooted...at the 4 hour mark. Problem...after the reboot the uptime never reset and is now at 4:20, giving me a very false sense of hope. I will keep watching this. I just dont understand why the uptime wouldn't start back at zero after restart.

Well, im probably gonna accept this bug. I did notice a wimax setting in the build.prop file, but im not even gonna try to work with that. 4g does work, and well, just have to learn about the time limit, and not be doing anything at what seems like the hour marks so the phone can do its thing...OR turn it off until i need it. I will keep watching these forums like I've been doing for years, and will watch for updates. I probably will reinstall the build tweak, but leave the init.d stock. I like how it ran. Thanks TD for running this test with me. Just wish a better result formed. As I've done recently, i will post if i notice different behavior.

Reboots 1.6 w/ 4g?

Hey, just saying that this bug doesn't affect me, and i know other people with calks 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 who don't have the 4g reboot issue either. Thanks for everything calk!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I think maybe it only affects certain phones just like the GPS issue. I'm not on 4G enough to tell but from what I understand, the phone will reboot itself about every hour like clockwork but you have to have 4G on the entire time to notice it. Plus if I'm not staring at the phone when it happens, how do I know if it's rebooting or not? In other words, most people put their phones down go do stuff... how do they know for sure it hasn't rebooted itself cuz ICS boots up pretty quick. We may never know what's causing it but let's just hope the final release, if it ever gets here :mad:, will be working 100%.

BTW, anyone know where we can send hatemail to Sprint's development division?

I say we bombard them with mail, tell them we are never going to troubleshoot for their lazy ass dev team if they don't get their sh*t together! :D
