im using the double take. I tried the hammertime and mergeme and im on ff18 modem. But still getting storage problem. and 3g keeps disconnecting by itself.

Also i decided to go with Calkulin's rom. How do i flash it from cm9
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Big Boy Laroux:
Hammertime has been basically flawless for me (running FG31 modem)

Was on 4G all day yesterday. No reboots, 4G disconnected and reconnected without issue when I moved to areas without 4G coverage (never found 4G in the "unknown" state).

No LOS, battery ran about 10 hours (100% down to 15%) with close to 2 hours of screen on time. No issues with deep sleep.

GPS locks in a matter of seconds.

I actually prefer this storage (where internal is labeled "sdcard" from the start), but I understand why people are saying it is reversed.

Only issue that is bothering me - mDNIe settings in the Advanced menu do not hold. I want my Movie mode to stick!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
What is the storage problem you speak of?

For Chris's newest builds, android automatically uses external storage for app data. In the older builds it used internal storage for app data. If this is the "problem" you are referring to, it is by design. You can go into storage settings and change back to using internal storage for app data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
All builds using the sdcard/sdcard1 nameing scheme. All you have to do is uncheck the use internal for app data option and reboot and everything will be the way it should be. Internal will be named sdcard and external will be named sdcard1. Honestly there is no reason to use that storage option on the new builds. Cause even if you don't have a sdcard it still labels internal as sdcard
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] davidstjohn1:
For the people with the 3g loss of service I had the loss of service I was on the el29 baseband modem. What I did to fix it was I flashed the f f 18 baseband modem. It worked for me. For anybody else it might b f f 11 or another modem. You have to try all of them. Eventually you'll find 1 that works

Storage Issue - hammertime - no microSD

I'm having storage issues on hammertime as well. Don't have a microSD card.

When using MergeMe

On first boot, Gallery FC.

After setting storage options to use internal and rebooting, gallery and camera work fine.

After installing hammertime

On first boot, Gallery loads, but does not show any pictures that had already been taken and located on the internal storage

After setting camera to use internal storage, I can take pictures, but after the shot is taken, no thumbnail is displayed in the lower right corner.

These new pictures aren't visible in Gallery either, but are being saved to internal storage (could see them in ES File Explorer.

After setting storage options to use internal and rebooting, Gallery FCs (No external storage available).

New pictures taken with the camera display thumbnails in the bottom right corner, but tapping the thumbnail and selecting Gallery will FC.

Could some of you who are not having issues try removing your SD card and see if you have similar problems?

Wiped data, cache, and Dalvik cache between all flashes.

I am also experiencing these issues. but when i use ES File Explorer I no longer see EMMC Folder. My storages folders are Labeled SDCARD and SDCARD1. Switching the storage settings and rebooted doesnt change.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
They won't change. The only difference will be which one is labeled which. On the new setup the option to use internal memory for apps no longer has a purpose. By default internal is labeled sdcard and external is sdcard1. If you check that option all it does is swap the labels to where internal is sdcard1 and external is sdcard. So you want that option unchecked if you want it to behave more like stock Samsung where app data is stored on internal sdcard and external sdcard is more storage

My only issue lately with builds is that when apps by default install to "sdcard", get corrupted by reboot. Any fix to this? Only way is to move the app to move but before applications that would be installed to phone wouldn't have this issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elzero26:
I appreciate you Clarifying that for me. Other than That im using Hammertime with fg31 modem and no issues. Everything is awesome:highfive:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheInvsbleMan:
I had issues with pictures showing up in gallery as well on hammer time and it re labeled my storage sdcard and sdcard1. I could see all pictures in Astro file explorer but not in gallery.

I have now flashed the CM9 8-11 nightly and checked the use internal storage box and now all of my pictures show up in gallery actually somehow a lot of them were duplicated. But my apps install to my sdcard by default and every time I reboot these apps disappear same as the guy above. Is there any way to fix this or at least tell new apps not to install to sdcard?

Also I would like to note this is really the first ever issues I've had with CM9 I've been flashing the nightlies every day for a few months now and I have never had issues. I'm not sure what has changed in these most recent builds but it seems its causing more users issues than its worth. I'm going to hang tight where I am at for a little while until things become stable again.

I'm using last night's shabby build. I have ff18 on my phone. I cannot get a GPS lock. I was before. Over the last few days I was meeting around with other TW based roms as well as cm10 alpha 2.3. Any fixes for the GPS lock? If I have to flash to stock, which one is the best?

I'm still having the same storage problems on slowgo that occurred on hammertime (apps unable to access files on internal storage, regardless of storage settings, see post #8011).

---------- Post added at 12:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------

Settings was FCing on me after upgrading to one of the earlier nightlies. IIRC wiping data/cache resolved the issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Sounds like you need a full wipe and reflash. Before that i would delete the android secure folder on external sdcard.

After boot leave use internal storage unchecked.

Your new setup should be labled internal(sdcard) and external(sdcard1).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MacWhisperer:
I've been doing full wipes before flashing, and do not have an SD card installed.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aleph23:
I'm liking slow go so far, but it does still have the issue of no gallery items for external sd.

EDIT: Clearing gallery data worked like a charm. Thanks jsergio123!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] picklerick:
so far slow go is working great for me. no issues at all with either the external or internal sd card. gallery works fine and media.process isnt fc's

thanks

*UPDATE*

I just noticed after about 3 hours of uptime i am getting a notification about unmounting my storage card before removing it and now i cant view the files on the card or mount it. rebooting doesn't fix it but yet recovery sees the sdcard and files fine
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MacWhisperer:
I was able to borrow a friend's SD card.

With the SD card mounted, Gallery and Camera work as they should, but as soon as I unmount the SD card, it's back to failed screenshots and Gallery FCs or just unable to load images (depending on whether the internal storage checkbox is selected or not).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] picklerick:
try going to manage apps and clearing data for the gallery app, that fixed some issues i had with incorrect thumb nails

I tried hammertime again and can confirm the storage issues when I take out my external sd. Can you pull your card out and report back?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
I pulled my sdcard and yes gallery acts strangely showing zero images from internal but quickpick worked fine.

Edit: only thing i can think of is to have gallery work properly you need an external sdcard. Its weird but quickpic works fine. All i can say is for those having issues to download quickpick and leave use internal storage unchecked in settings/storage. Also go into camera/settings and switch store pics to internal if its already not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
Confirmed, no sdcard and gallery seems to get confused.. but I do have a card, so seems it is a mute point for my setup

I can also confirm that apps installed to internal SD disappear after reboot. This is on hammertime 8/11. No idea if it is related to the new storage naming or if something else is going on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
Anyone who is having storage problems. Backup pictures or whatever to your pc and format sd internal and external. From the phone. Then reboot. Take a new picture. Copy an application. Once you see where that all goes. Copy your stuff back to those locations, don't use your old folder structure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DaKlown:
Doing all that works just fine until you try to operate the phone without an SD card mounted. The gallery force closes and you cannot even get into storage from settings. Insert your SD card and all will go back to normal. Just tried this after formatting the internal and external SD and a full wipe before flashing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
+1 Im not having problems but i tried for ****s and giggles . The fix for people with no sdcard is to use quickpic, which i use primarily any way. Just set camera/settings to store pics on internal and everything will operate normally using quickpic.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stealth5325:
Gentlemen,

I am attempting to update form my Blazer Gingerbread rom to Alpha6, and I'm running into an issue in CWM. Every time I try to flash, I get:

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") -- "epic4gtouch" || getprop(ro.build.product") == "epic4gtouch"||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "SPH-D710" || getprop("ro.build.product") == SPH-D710

Clearly the name of the product in my old rom and the new rom don't match. How do I get around this?

Appreciated; thanks in advance.

Edit: I fixed it by installing the CWM for CM9 EG4T on the 'tools' part of the status page, if anyone else has this issue. Note that in that CWM, my 'home' button was the 'enter' button, and power was 'back', unlike normal.

Thanks!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Is that in slowgo or storage wars?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MacWhisperer:
It's not a problem with existing folder structures. The storage issue occurs on freshly wiped/reflashed installations of hammertime and slowgo, when taking new pictures from the camera app.

After installing hammertime

On first boot, Gallery loads, but does not show any pictures that had already been taken and located on the internal storage

After setting camera to use internal storage, I can take pictures, but after the shot is taken, no thumbnail is displayed in the lower right corner.

These new pictures aren't visible in Gallery either, but are being saved to internal storage (could see them in ES File Explorer.

After setting storage options to use internal and rebooting, Gallery FCs (No external storage available).

New pictures taken with the camera display thumbnails in the bottom right corner, but tapping the thumbnail and selecting Gallery will FC.

These problems appear to only be occurring on phones without SD cards (other users have confirmed this), and I was not having these problems on the MergeMe build, only hammertime and slowgo.

What's going on with the SD card?

Ok, so I'm a little confused as to what is going on with the SD card. I'd really appreciate it if someone explained it to me. I am also having problems with my Android failing to recognize much of the empty space I have on my card. Here is what I've gathered so far:

Emmc is now the internal storage.

SD Card is now the SD card.

http://i.imgur.com/o9FTx.png For some reason, my internal storage isn't recognizing much of the free space I have available on it. SD card is not giving me all of its free space. Notice how Apps, Pictures, Audio, and Downloads only add up to about 4.1GB, yet it says I only have 16.1mb free. There should be over 5gb free on the internal storage. This is also reflected in the fact that I haven't been able to update larger apps (ones larger than 16mb), and I receive an "insufficient space" error. What is happening here?

I'd really appreciate help with that space issue. I need more space!

Also, I am curious...how is the SD Card and Emmc eventually going to be represented? Which one is supposed to be which? Why does CM9 keep switching them back and forth? Are they eventually going to be merged? I thought that was supposed to be the way it is in ICS?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
That picture doesn't show your sdcard at all only internal and it looks accurate. Scroll below it for your sdcard..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thenimboo:
What do you mean don't use your old folder structure? I have my files organized into a folder with my name on it on the SD card. Within that folder, I have 4 folders, labeled "Backups," "Downloaded," "Flashing," and "Media." Can I put this folder back on the SD card, or do I need to change the structure? Everything is organized within this folder, there are other folders within these too (For example, the "Media" folder has "Videos," "Pictures," and "Music").

BTW, I"m using CM9 Alpha 6 that I downloaded as soon as it came out, I got it around July 20th I believe. Is there a later, more updated version that I need to be downloading? If so, where am I supposed to find it? I've been checking the CM9 E4GT blog and XDA every day, but haven't seen anything about a new version of CM9 past the Alpha 6.

Also, please answer my questions from my previous post right above this one, if you can. I'd greatly appreciate it.

---------- Post added at 06:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------

My bad man, I know that it only shows internal. I shouldn't have put the part where I said "but it is a 16gb sd card." I meant that even though I'm supposed to have 11.5gb of internal, I wasn't able to access all of it for some reason. It isn't accurate. It claims that I have only 16mb available, while I should have over 5gb available. If I add the items up, I have only about 4.1gb being used.

It represents my SD Card accurately. http://i.imgur.com/QV2zB.png I don't really have an issue with that, aside from a bit of confusion between "emmc" and "sd card."

There haven't been any alpha or beta builds since alpha 6.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Big Boy Laroux:
FYI for everyone. "Storage Wars" build now labels internal SD as "sdcard1" and external SD as "sdcard". So the "use internal storage" option does what it is described to do - selecting it changes internal SD labeling to "sdcard" and it becomes the designated spot for apps.

As I stated before, I'm fine with either labeling - this is just an FYI for those that care.

No issues with gallery or location of photos for me.

Reboot does still result in disappearing apps that are installed to SD, however.

Thanks again for all your work, Chris (and creative naming)!
