My ringtone issue cleared it's self up on Caulkins 1.2 ROM with FC 22. I got a phone call while my Bluetooth headphones were connected and ever since then no issues. Even after going to 1.3

My issue was not matter what ringtone I used I only got a short vibrate and odd ding. I have no idea when it started but it happened for several roms and modem upgrades. Even 1.2 had the issue for awhile.

It is like something was written in a file someplace.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RustedRoot:
Speaking of battery life, I've been using an app the last 2 days that seems to extend it dramatically by managing wifi, 3G and Bluetooth connections. It's called 3G Battery Saver + WiFi BT. http://tinyurl.com/84tbuuq I got the pro version for a buck 89 since it's pretty useless without it. Essentially you set a schedule for when you want these connections on, otherwise they shut down when phone is asleep. I've found they/it turn(s)-on instantly in the lock screen when waking. An added bonus for me is that I don't have the wifi-failing-to-initialize-when-waking issue that used to require manually turning off/on wifi. That was a PITA, but I didn't complain...

See sceenshot of battery life (even with "Sunday" use) and you'll understand why I'm asking is this too good to be true? Perhaps it is if you need a full-time data connection, but I don't at 3 in the morning, or any other time when I'm sleeping. Just remember to shut down wifi and unclick 3G box in system settings when using the app.

Calk said he'd pay for the app if you get it. Wait...damn, my favorite holiday is over...belay that.

BTW, I reread this post and it may seem like I'm hyping it for personal benefit. I may one day wish that is the case, but it's not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Trev186:
So I'm not sure why but I really want to buy this app that should work on my phone but the market says it wont...

Does anyone have any recommendations on a new build prop device ID I can try without breaking anything in this rom ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RustedRoot:
The 3G Battery Saver or another app? If former it definitely works on SPH-D710 -- you may need to install free version first (changed it to that in link.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] instantstupor:
Sorry if I'm misreading or if this won't help you because you want data even if you are roaming (though I assume not since data roaming can be rather pricey), but if you go into "Settings-->Wireless Settings (then click 'More...')-->Roaming" and then click "Sprint Only" and that should make the annoying data roaming messages disappear.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NoSpamDan:
I'll have to check this one out myself. I thought "Sprint Only" meant you couldn't roam...?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] instantstupor:
Could be. I only came to ICS from GB yesterday. It appears the settings have changed a touch from when I last poked around in there. I will change my setting from Sprint Only to turning Data Roaming off only (as data is only unlimited on sprints network anyway...and I don't think they give you a roaming allowance for data, though correct me if I'm wrong). So I'll let you know if that seems to make any changes to the message as I'm thinking you are right, just changing roaming to sprint only (as the settings are in this ROM) would kill voice roaming as well. Let me know if you think it makes a difference and I'll do the same.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RustedRoot:
It seems that annoying message appears whether you click Sprint Only, in your case, or Automatic, in mine, (with the requisite boxes in Roaming Settings and Roaming guard clicked or unclicked.) Don't know if this is universal, but it is an annoyance. Hardly a deal-breaker however.

About the zooming on 1080p recording, it does this also on Gingerbread version. I prefer the 720p anyways for the digital zooming. =)

The 1080p zooming is not something that was changed in ICS's camera app.

Not sure how you are getting this battery life. I've been off the chargwr for less than an hour, and I'm down to 88%. Screen has only been on for 9 minutes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I agree 100%. I have been using it since my first Epic and the new update only made it better
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Only 25 min screen on which is why Android OS is so high but I have been installing apps and such. Something is chewing on your battery...

I haven't flashed this yes but it appears to me that one of the reoccurring issues people seem to have is an issue with getting a GPS lock. It took me a long while to finally a nice steady lock on my stock rooted EL29 and I'm afraid to mess that up by flashing this.

Would you guys say this is a known issue with these leaked ICS builds or are these just isolated incidents with a few users of this rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Did you just set it up? Google syncs and integrates quite a bit more. Is Picasa or Dropbox possibly syncing? I didn't realize I could actually be doing quite a bit better than I have been..some unnecessary things syncing for me

I've been getting dismal 3G/4G connections since going to ICS for some reason. I want to say it happened when I went from Calk to CM9 and hasn't repaired itself even after coming back to Calk.

I've tried numerous Modems, I always update the PRLs and Profiles, and I even did that ##xxxx# code where you enter in your MSL and it resets things.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stinkbud:
I just got an epic 4g touch to replace a seriously maddening evo that was really beginning to push me towards an iPhone. I figured try out the newest android goodness first.

Now here is where I stand... I cannot install ANYTHING!!! No matter what I try to install, I get an invalid file package error. I have NOTING installed on my phone so it cannot be a memory issue. I can't find an answer for this. I have been on these forums for quite awhile for 4 phones so I know the protocol of searching first. I did. Didn't help.

I also concur with jbbosu, my wimax speeds are dismal. I can't really tell you how slow they are as I am unable to install a speed test, but trust me, I want to throw my new phone through a window.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Did you install this ROM or are you still at stock. Your post isn't clear on that. I assume you are because you are posting in this thread.

I also assume you are having issues with the market. Try going to settings/applications/ and clear the cache/date for the play store/market.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rashnet:
I have been getting that notification also and found this

"there's a file in /System/etc in ICS called spn-conf.xml. This file is used from what I can see to tell the phone when it's roaming or not (amongst other things)

there's a line in the non stock roms with :

<spnOverride numeric="23210" fake_home_on="23201"/> <!-- H3G Network -->"

on another site but am not sure if that is what is causing the issue, maybe someone else can comment on this? My issue isn't just the notification but if I lose sprint 3g and data roam it shuts down the data connection until i reboot or switch airplane mode on and off. I work in a place that has no sprint service. Wifi works but like I said if I come back to a sprint service area the data connection doesn't come back.

I cant post the other site because of the spam filter but is you google ics data roaming notification connectivity it is one of the first ones that pop up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stinkbud:
Sorry about vaguery, I am going nuts here.

Yes, it is this rom, 1.3a. I got the phone with stock GB, then I rooted it and upgraded to this ICS ROM. I used TB to attempt a transfer of many apps, and after a long time I got them all moved. That was yesterday. Today, I tried to download some apps and ended up with "package file invalid" errors, which I know is usually when the phone is too filled. I erased with the format all zip and reinstalled 1.3a. Now everything I attempt to download gives me "package file invalid" mesage. This is a fresh phone and a fresh ROM. I even have a 64gb SDXC card in there. I am at a complete loss here.

I can't even install a simple terminal emulator app. This is really insane
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RustedRoot:
In a perfect world you're correct. But sometimes we don't have a charger with us, or worse, we forget to plug it in. If you forget, and wake up to a dead phone, you'll not be happy camper. That should explain why we talk about battery drainage and the search for the Holy Grail -- if you will. Is someone talking about overcharging, caused I missed that?

My SMS/MMS is working fine, sorry.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] instantstupor:
Interesting, I'll take a look at that a bit later. When I changed my setting from "Sprint Only" to the specific option to only not roam on data, I do get the "data roaming" message in my notification bar. Before, when on GB, I would get a full screen pop up message that drove me batty. If this is all it is, then this is no problem for me whatsoever (won't keep me from looking for a way to get rid of it though lol).

I am currently in a zero service area (at my old house connected to wifi, I just moved and get FANTASTIC service there, but here it's still a black hole). I'll update and let you know if I run into any data reconnection issues just as corroboration (my Droid X used to do this on a custom ROM before as well). Thank god ICS seems to have solved my phantom menu button press issue. That was driving me batty.

In any event, hopefully we can iron this wrinkle out. The only wrinkle I have is not being able to install to the SD card, but as I am to uunderstand it, that is a kernle issue so I'll be looking into that later unless someone can save me the trouble and point me towards a viable solution (I'd be greatly appreciative).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Did you try the steps I suggested?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stinkbud:
Just attempted a manual cache/dalvik wipe. Still getting "package is invalid" from market downloads.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Trev186:
Couple things

1 it could be a bad flash...

2. Unmount ur sd card in settings and see if it will install apps. The current ics rom makes u do this to install anything that goes direct to sd....I think cause the galaxy nexus has no sd card slot

3. Do u have any apps or settings that install stuff direct to SD ? if so that is prolly compounding the above problem. Ur going to want to install everything to the internal memory or the rom memory.

4. Did u do a full titanium backup restore? If so did u restore all ur same system settings from ur evo ? If u did u may have jacked stuff up with incompatible system settings..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
That's not what I suggested but.. I guess I wasn't clear.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Because seeing how much your battery drains when the screen is off and the phone is asleep is an excellent way to test and compare the battery life on different builds. It is comparing how much battery the OS itself uses while phone is idling. I leave wifi on and sync only gmail every time I run the test so it's always the same. Using the phone during the day there are so many variables that can never be recreated for reliable comparisons.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RustedRoot:
This may be different than the issue for "can't install on USB..." which was cured by unmounting SD card first. Worth a try here. You are using the right account in Google Play (assuming that is where you're trying to download from?) Have you tried installing app from Play store on a PC (which pushes to phone?) Doesn't sound like a TB issue. Are these app updates or new ones? When you speak of "transfer" do you mean transfer to SD card or reinstalling? Have another idea if necessary.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stinkbud:
no, I did what you suggested, it didn't work. That was me hoping that somehow I left my Dalvik and cache filled with some sort of bloat. Not sure how as this is a new phone.

As far as suggestions, I have tried everything everyone here has suggested. this is my 3rd android (if you include the one I had running on my touch diamond) so I am familiar with these workarounds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RustedRoot:
3 heads working on this for you. How lucky...or confusing

Start fresh again: re-download ROM. Go from there.

Try moving apk from your PC to system/app. Make sure permission is correct.

Hung on the Samsung Galaxy SII splash screen after flashing the 1.3a rom

Please have mercy on me...I'm newish to E4GT but not to android/flashing etc. Given plenty of help to noobs on the beloved OG Xoom whenever possible.

Rooted the E4GT using sfhubs odin el29 stock rom and rogue CWM. Everything was working beautifully. Today, flashed Calkulin's format-all zip, then the fc24 modem and then the 1.3a rom. Now stuck on the splash screen...too long. I vaguely remember seeing a post on this somewhere in this thread, but for the life of me, can't find it, so sorry if this has been asked, but what is my best course of action at this point? I have a nandroid of my last GB EL29 setup but I understand that I shouldn't restore a GB nandroid from ICS (such as it is) Do I need to odin-restore or is there something else I can do from my phone? I can get back to CWM recovery. Just don't know what else to try.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stinkbud:
The first time you flash a rom, the flash screen takes awhile I think it has something to do with the cache being processed. Hang in there and suddenly you will be there (hopefully, thats what I am telling myself right now)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperSwagSauce:
If it takes longer than 5-7mins do a battery pull and you should be good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SEANDROID:
In my honest opinion, your first problem was flashing a ROM that's not exactly stable in the first place. Also, you mentioned you used TB to restore...if you restored ANY data, it's going to cause problems... I would recommend a full wipe and re flash, and test your play store before restoring anything with TB.

Maybe a couple Xanax too ;)

Good luck!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
I agree. Battery life is a big issue. Rich asked why we talk about battery drain during sleep and I answered. I never worry about overcharging. The phone won't let the battery overcharge.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RustedRoot:
Xanax + Tequilla:D

Agree with above. I might add that when you go to Play store after flashing new ROM download (and then updating Profile and PRL, rebooting) try installing any apk before installing TB. I'm one of the lucky one's who has reinstalled apps WITH data through TB without a problem, but...given your frustration I would not push the envelope. You always have option of odining sfhub's FC24, then Steady's newest kernel (odin that too.) Have faith, it'll get done, particularly if you take your "medicine."
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] instantstupor:
OK, this is an APB for anyone willing to help. I know this isn't ROM specific so you may disregard if in wrong place, but I'm at my wits end. I go into low service area, my menu button gets frantically pressed by a ghost with ADD. I have searched the web, the forums, I feel I've done my due diligence, but cannot find any answers. I hear it may be a hardware defect, but others claim they've had 3 straight replacement phones with the same issue. I've had stock GB 2.3.6, Calkulins GB ROM and this newest ICS ROM. All problematic. Afraid I may have duke it out with the companies (got my phone through amazon, service through sprint, its a Samsung phone...feeling like its a perfect storm of point the finger). So before I go that route & have to flash phone back to stock in order to deal with companies beurocratic crap, anyone have any last ditch idea for me to try? Again, sorry if its in the wrong section, but I'm desperate and this is my current ROM. Hell, if I could get a script that disabled all capacitive buttons and used button savior when in those low service areas, that would work. Anyone? I'd be your best friend forever and ever...and ever.

Thanks! Is there a set amount of time for the battery to be pulled? Left it out for about 2 minutes. I'm now going on 15 minutes hung on the splash screen after pulling the battery.

Pulled it again and leaving it out longer, just in case it matters.

OK, luckily, I had downloaded the rom twice, so I navigated to downloads and re-flashed...must be that my first rom download was bad. All is well. Thanks for your help.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] instantstupor:
Just as a matter of curiosity, when you say install apps, do you mean from market? Because I realized that with this ROM there is something hinkey with the kernel that doesn't allow you to install anything to the SD card. I first noticed the problem attempting to install games from the amazon appstore. Most regular apps would install but games wouldn't. Took out SD card to force install to interior memory and I was no longer getting either 'cannot install to USB or SD' nor the packaging error you mentioned. I can't get speed test to install either way. Apparently if it requires SD storage, you are SOL. Anyways, try just using internal memory and see if that does the trick. Everything was working fine on calks GB ROM, but that rather annoying flaw popped up as soon as I installed ICS last night.

I never said i do this everyday. I said i test this way to see how much battery the Rom (OS) itself uses with everything else except Wi-Fi turned off. I have never woke up to a dead phone because I'm a little smarter than that. I charge fully before I go to bed. If you know of a better way to test the battery usage of a Rom I'm listening. Many of us post these results because they are relevant.

I was aware of those, just wasn't sure if it contained anymore 'no security' unlock screens though.

Also, any idea on the contacts missing from the phone dialer? I find that to be the biggest flaw coming from 3.0.
