I have to charge my battery again to make it work right but it happens almost every day
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Calibrated and no help!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Try booting into CWM and clear battery stats, restart your phone, run your phone until the battery is so low it shuts off. Then plug the phone in, turn it on, put it in airplane mode and let it charge to 100%.

At thus point use it as normal but let the battery die one or two more times before charging it again. This should give your phone a nice solid calibration.

Good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] emod0705:
Just to add on to that one idea would be pull the batt. Five minutes should do it...when u restart what it reads will be "true". Some Roms have battery saving scripts and when you switch they take a min to go away while dalvik resets...leading to a rude awakening...lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mu5ic92:
Gonna give my input. I was having a similiar problem. Battery draining like crazy. Dropping from 99 to 80 in like 30 mins of use. Finally got fed up and decided to go to a sprint repair and service center. Turns out the battery was shot to hell. Bloated. So they gave me a OG epic battery for the mean time and ordered me a new oem one. Free of charge with TEP Picking it up tuesday. Been using this OG epic battery and altough it does have less capacity it defiantly is draining more slowely. So try it out have them inspect yours.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigbry87:
I agree with "rwilco12"

Try booting into CWM and clear battery stats, restart your phone, run your phone until the battery is so low it shuts off. Then plug the phone in, turn it on, put it in airplane mode and let it charge to 100%.

This worked for me...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
I'll try these suggestions. Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tungsten c:
Guys

I have been having the same problem and try lots of things but what I did not try and just found out is that my phone has a 1500mHa instead off a 1800mHa Sprint store made a mistake and placed the wrong battery inside my phone.

Maybe some of the problems you guys are having is due to that fact.

Besides opening the phone there are several app that will actually tell you which battery you have I.E. Battery Monitor
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rbtrucking:
I just downloaded that battery monitor and it said I have a 1500MAH battery too so I called sprint went down and got a new battery and when I opened my phone to put the new one in it turns out the one I have is a 1800 so I would not put much stock into what that Battery Monitor app says but hell I just got a free spare battery so it was still a win!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tkemack:
That app is set to 1500 by default. However, I do remember seeing a thread here and on AC about several of our phones that were shipped with the 1500 battery by mistake
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
I have 1800 and the method with the airplane mode worked
[Desire General] yusuo:
So i installed 7.2.0RC1 on my desire and it worked perfectly for 2 days but i've noticed this morning that when im getting calls or messages the phone isn't making a noise and notifying me of this.

I checked that I wasnt accidently on silent and I wasnt, so checked volumes, all ok, and then I decided to look at the ringtones and select a different one and where each one is supposed to give you a little preview of the tone im getting nothing.

Im really at a loss, has anyone else had this problem or knows how to solve it, its handy being made aware when someones trying to contact me
[Desire General] stankyou:
I had this on the nightly prior to the RC1. Reboot and the ringtones should be back but you have to re-assign them I think.. and yeah it will probably happen again.
[Desire General] yusuo:
Tried rebooting and still nothing off previews or anything, its just kinda weird for a RC for this to happen, might have to go back down to 7.1.0 until the bugs are ironed out, thank god for nandroid.

Still might have a solution pop up here before i get round to doing that
[Desire General] stankyou:
Did you modify the rom? Change or remove ringtone files you don't need?
[Desire General] gxmonitor:
Even I had same problem various times. Rebooting solves the issue everytime.
[Desire General] yusuo:
I didn't modify the rom at all and rebooting doesnt solve it, come to think about it, its happening since i used a pair of headphones for the first time
[Desire General] jankoboys6:
Do you use any Bluetooth headset? Usually when I use mine it happens what you have described and the only quick fix was to make a reboot. I didn't tested it yet on CM7.2 RC1 but the issue was present in CM7.1 Stable.
[Desire General] Sergill007:
I use Rings Extended, it`s perfect
[Desire General] jankoboys6:
Today I tested the CM7.2 RC1 ROM with my Bluetooth headset and so far it is working with no problems (no sound issues like you mentioned). Now I just have to see if it would also stay this way in the few days.

I also found that some users had the problem described in the first post when they were using usual cord headphones but so far I hadn't experienced any problems with them although I'm suing them almost every day since the CM7.2 RC1 ROM release day.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blessonje:
I flashed SGS RC 4.2 from my XXJVU stock rom. Now i want to try Dark Knight 3. I had backedup of my XXJVU stock before upgrading to ICS. What is the best way to change to another ROM

Can I

1. wipe the data and cache and from recovery and directly flash te new rom or

2. Restore the orginal XXJVU from backup and then flash the new ICS rim-Dark Knight.

Please guide me
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3signr:
From my understanding if you are running an ICS rom you can upgrade without wipe if it's an update to the same family ROM. Otherwise, i would recommend performing a wipe first since you'll have remnants of the previous Rom installed still and have no way of knowing if any elements are interfering with your new install.

I use App Backup and Restore for my apps and SMS Backup and Restore for messages. Doing this means wiping isn't half as laborious as without at least these items backed up.

Maybe it's a bit overkill but i always backup what i need. Wipe, Install, Reboot. Let the phone do what it needs to. Reboot into recovery and factory / wipe / clear cache and fix permissions. I rarely get any problems this way.

Maybe this is helpful to you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blessonje:
Thanks for sharing.

As per you above comments i can directly flash the ICS dark Knight rom from the current SGS RC4.2 rom by just flashing from the recovery mode?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishangoyal:
ya you can.. but its always better to do a backup of your apps/ data and do a factory reset and then install a new rom through recovery.. a fresh install would prevent any problems... also in every rom's op the install instructions are given.. better to follow those as you'll be able to get better help in case of any problems..:)

Not quite science.

On the left: Epic 4G Touch on Sprint 3G in Scottsdale, AZ. Google Music streaming a 6 ½ minute song On the right: Galaxy SII Skyrocket on AT&T LTE in Scottsdale, AZ. Google Music streaming a 48 minute party mix.

Note the length of the medium blue buffering bar on the song. The phone on the left buffered numerous times, the phone on the right did not and loaded the 48 minute track faster than the Sprint phone did the 6 ½ minute track.

After this we both played a Katy Perry video (tits) on the Youtube app in HQ, started at the same time. The phone one the right played through with no interruptions, while the phone on the left buffered many times. By the time the phone on the right was done, the phone on the left was not even halfway. Take a look at the signal bars, the phone on the left was getting 'better' reception.

Anyone know wh Sprint 3G data so slow? I was told that towers had been upgraded and fixed in my area.

I was sold this phone and my last one on the promise of 4G being in the Phoenix area in the near future. My guess is that with the trouble that Clear is having, and the switch to LTE that Sprint is making, that I will never get 4G that works on my phone.

If you know something I don't, please let me know!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
When comparing 3g to LTE, of course it's going to seem slow.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
Lte should outperform 3g any day of the week. 3g is bogged down at sprint. Supposedly there will be less traffic on 3g and better capability on the towers part when lte hits for sprint as you will have people moving to 4g to browse. Don't count on that for a while. Look into a perl change. Koreyhas a thread on how to.

Sent from my BAD A$$ EPIC TOUCH 4G
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GailARC:
^ This You're basically comparing a "4g" tech to a 3g signal. Not even considering sprints issues the LTE should be faster. Basic search for you

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4G
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
did you do any research before posting this?

this is like saying look at my 56k vs cable why is cable faster?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
Yes but they are galaxy s2 phones, all the same huh.... What's 3g and lte hey they rhyme...

:D:D:D:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
Atts 3g is like sprints wimax speeds anyway except more reliable.

Att lte is pricey and limited availability tho
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdszoke:
Sprint EVDO 3g vs. AT&T HSPA(+) 3g would be a fairer comparison. Still not fair imo but still same generation technology. It's like trying to compare vhs(2g) vs dvd (3g). Different generation technology. Plus don't hold your breathe for Wimax. You might not make it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] samsmalls:
The signal bars has nothing to do with 4g LTE or 3G speeds...

Seriously you knew lte was 10 times faster than (sprints) 3G & any other right? You didn't need these nice gentleman to tell you that. Riiiight bad sprint joke, now hop in 85' DeLorean & "do not post"!

:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
I think it's fair to compare the carrier's abilities in each location. Getting the best of the carrier from each side. It's obviously a better choice to go with AT&T in OP's location, and I wouldn't blame him if he left.

For me, Sprint's speeds are outstanding and I'm not in a hurry to transfer to another carrier anytime soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
cdma has a max theoretical speed of like 3.something Mbps, of course it's going to be slower.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hussmanne:
What Overstew said. Yes, I do know it's not an equal comparison. What I was pointing out is how I've been conditioned to think that not being able to stream music without buffering, or watch a YouTube video without it stopping multiple times is normal. I didn't realize just how slow it was until I compared the two. My speeds are below usable for any premium data type activities.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
There have only been 6 cities so far they have been partially upgraded...and Scottsdale isn't one of them. Go check out S4GRU.com for more info
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
Korey haim or Feldman you did read his post that said att lte not sprint
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stretchwookie:
Take the phones to 64st and Greenway and use the sprint 4g. You'll get equal results. I've used it at 7th street and bell and its great. You can't compare a Ferrari and a gremlin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lilotimz:
Comparing Sprint EVDO-A (3g) with a theo max of 3mbps to a ATT LTE (4g) with a usual speeds of 10-40 mbps.....

How much more rigged can this be?

Apple and oranges...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hussmanne:
I don't think I'm anywhere close to the theoretical maximum. I remember 3G with my HTC Touch Pro to be faster than it is today. Seems to only get worse over time.

Yes, apples and oranges. Note the first line, "not quite science".
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hussmanne:
Are any of you in other cities able to stream a track from Google Music without it stopping to buffer multiple times? Watch a YouTube video without it stopping to buffer multiple times? :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
I rarely end up on 3G so the answer would be I have no issues. 3G varies from .5 to 2 Mbps around here and as often as I am flashing firmware and modems it definitely varies. Add on various locations of people with old cell phones without wimax things can get a bit slow.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
You do realize when touch pro came out there were very few smart phones. And the number is over 100 million now ...sprints 3g was not being raped by millions of smart phones like now.... Most people use more data than minutes etc ... But you also realize sprint wasn't the only one to fall behind on network upgrades but it will get better network vision is coming and lte
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stretchwookie:
I went to a conference back in September and they said that Phoenix's network vision, which included lte, would be completed q1 2013
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] peryp9:
The SPRINT phone was downloading an UPDATE !!! Look carefully at the picture... So the Sprint phone starts with a handicap from the start.

The above statement is just the cherry on top of the cake :) You can't compare 3G with 4G, and then ask WHY ???!!! It's like comparing Dial-up service with DSL high-speed internet.

When you compare apples to oranges, you're comparing a bad, rotten apple to a fresh and juicy orange !!! You might be asking why choose the rotten apple instead of the juicy orange ? I got the answer for you: BECAUSE YOU GET LOTS AND LOTS OF BAD APPLES INSTEAD OF ONLY ONE FRESH ORANGE...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
eeeeeewwwwwww I hate apples ...:thumbdown::thumbdown:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hussmanne:
Voicemail and alarm icons. No update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
I'm in Milwaukee, no WiMax (except at the airport). Most places I go lately I'm able to stream Pandora and watch YouTube videos. It buffers, but only at the beginning.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
I get 2.2 mbps down here in gville
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hussmanne:
Have other networks suffered the same drop in speed? Strange that over a few years the quality of service would drop and it is deemed to be completely acceptable and expected. Hesse has us trained! There is nothing premium about my data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] peryp9:
Not on the left side, but on the right. The first icon that looks like a circle made of 2 arrows ... anyway, that's not the point. Even without the update, it would not stand a chance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hussmanne:
Vibrate, signal, battery clock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
Yes at one time att was very bad....every one blamed iPhone and mostly they were correct but it's all smart phones .... Verizon has been the only one to really stay ahead of their users but at what cost $$$$
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] euphoria:
I am so sick of all these threads *****ing about Sprint service... Obviously a cheaper service is going be slightly worse. But in my experience Sprint has been the best provider in terms of cost/benefits ratio...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hussmanne:
Mine does it multiple times. Especially bad when I switch tracks, it starts all over again!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hussmanne:
Wah wah wah
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deedscreen:
No offense, but I agree.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdszoke:
Now just because your getting good service doesn't mean others are. Every service has weak area's including Verizon. I do agree there are a lot of Sprint sucks posts though. But, saying you have good service is really a bad argument. Move to a different area with bad service and lets see how happy you are. But, if you get weak signal in your area, then maybe you choice the wrong service. Sprint is a great value with the whole unlimited but if you get less than .5mbp/s than unlimited might not be the right choice for your area. Especially if you don't have wifi access most of the time.

But, on the other end Sprint is spending billions to improve the situation. If your willing to wait for good service in your area it might pay off in the long run. With Network Vision, LTE and unlimited data we might all be the winners in the long run.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] euphoria:
I'm sorry if my post seemed a bit aggressive. And by no means were my good speeds supposed be an "argument". I was just trying to state how many of these threads there are, and that maybe there should be a consolidated thread for all the Sprint "bashing".
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hussmanne:
Thank you for these posts!

Thank you for all these posts.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stretchwookie:
That's the sync icon, not update

Sprint bashing needs to be saved for sprint forums. This site is supposed to be xda-developers, no? Lets develop something other than negative opinions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hussmanne:
No worries, I can see how all the threads *****ing could get annoying. I wasn't *****ing though, I really wanted to know if everyone was experiencing the same type of issues as me, or if they knew anything that I didn't. Read the first post again, especially the last sentence.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GailARC:
My phone happens to be my main music player (google music) and podcast streamer (Stitcher) when I am driving and at work. Convenient since my car has bluetooth and I can control my phone (stop, play, forward). When I first got my touch it was slower than my Original evo, I believe the radio had bad drivers or something. Cause after the major update it became faster. Strange though but only near my work, there are a couple days in the week when the 3d signal dissapears.

MTK6573 2.3.6 root?

Hello, I have a HDC X19i based on MTK6573. I received it yesterday. Fantastic phone, but I consider that the apps memory is too low. Anyway, I've tried to root the device and it's no possible (for me at least), I tried everithing and I get the same messages with superoneclick. It has 2.3.6. It stops in the 7th step. And any other program will fail. I tried everithing.

It can't remount the system, and I tried using adb commands to remount..."operation not permitted". My adb installation is with the path and I'm sure it works fine. The drivers for the android adb phone are ok.

I'm stuck

Hope some solution.
