Random isn't in a 4G area and thus he couldn't test it, as a tester I live in a limited 4G area and while I was successful using 4G I didn't keep it on all the time due to the limited access; though it always worked when I turned it on.

Are you using Bluetooth at the same time? I seem to recall there was something about that some posts back. That being said; if 4G is available to you you may want to consider TPR; I am sure Random will not mind this suggestion given the issues 4G has been; there is a small % that TH will just not work on for some reason. Also he has moved on to the S3. I doubt there will be an update and if there is, given he isn't in a 4G area. This still can not be addressed.

Its too bad; this ROM is truly excellent. I wish it would have worked for you, I personally have it installed on 4 Epics (2 of mine and 2 friends) and they love it!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
I still think it may be Sprint.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brandnu:
...I don't use bluetooth at all....I don't click the wifi toggle if I'm on 4g due to that glitch..since I. Odin'd an flashed I haven't touched wifi I even turned off that sprint optimizer crap so it won't auto swap connections on me an fubar everything...my 4g works in my area and it works with all my browsers and even looking up app in the market just when I try to download or update a app is when 4g hangs ten lol...I am going to try to use this nand dump I have and see what happens...

Lmao I'm kinda with you on that kenny just because my 4g works...just not in the play store app nor on the play store website on a browser...lol I can navigate to/around in the play store on dolphin but when I try to download anything again it hangs...I'm actually on 4g as I send this reply
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Sprint is having problems with their market allowing people to download with 4g... happening with multiple phones, in multiple states from what the sprint rep said last week (not an idiot, actually my friend)

[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Yeah that is pretty funky that it is just market that exhibits that behavior.

I would think that if it were sprint; then 4G wouldn't work at all, not just give you issues when downloading from the play store.

I'm still waiting on LTE here; my house is covered by orange (sprints LTE maps color for areas with lte) still nothing. Sorry slid off topic there.

EDIT: I was typing while flashnoles was - I didn't know each carrier had their own play store.

I assumed that it was just a google service and the carrier had no say in connecting to it; as its just data. Seems I was incorrect in that assumption.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Haha no you're correct... they all use the same market... for some reason sprints services are having trouble connecting (only 4g... may be due to lte deployment, idk) for some reason wimax isn't being reliable when connecting to the play store for whatever reason... since its only with sprints wimax (reported working fine by a friend with an lte phone and lte service) its safe to assume its a sprint/wimax issue...

[Epic 4G Android Development] brandnu:
yea i know, actually its google thats having problems with most of the carriers i just read the notes on there support site...here is the link if any one want to read the B.S for themselves, relieved that i know now but this still sucks ...http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/static.py?hl=en&page=known_issues.cs&ki_topic=1319135

[#6789539] "Waiting on network" error over 4G

We're aware that some users (in particular Sprint users) are receiving a "Waiting on network" error when downloading from Google Play over the 4G network.

This issue is a problem with the configuration of your carrier network, but we're currently working with carriers to get it resolved, so thanks in advance for your patience.

In the meantime, as a temporary workaround, please:

Use 3G instead of 4G to download from Google Play or

Use WiFi instead of a network connection

Issue first reported on: July 9, 2012
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Great to see that it isn't the ROM!
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
Of course it isn't the ROM lol. This ROM is like perfecttt.

Wonder what the King may be thinking of doing next lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brandnu:
recently i flashed the peoples rom just to give it a test run and then tried to flash back TH5.1...wiped data,cache, and delvik data before flashing...i didnt do a nand dump because i didnt have all my apps on it and i was just messing around with different roms anyway during flashing TH 5.1 i have been experiencing an error in CWM v5.0.2.7 (status 0) and i have been experiencing this with randoms zips...i see on his site he has CWM 5.2.0.7 im not sure if that was a typo or a updated CWM is required now...i did some research and havent found a clear answer unless your on some ICS roms, i read needed a different version of CWM...so i odin'd back to FC09 then rooted, reflashed TH5.1 and still get same abort error even with the theme zips and all zips were newly downloaded, i even formatted my PNY 32gig mSD...i also reflashed the peoples roms with out any problems as a test so why am i getting this error???
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
on TPR are you using the BML version by any chance?

If so, you need to convert to MTD before flashing TH 5.1.

Certainly after odin'g and re-rooting you will need to convert to mtd. That would explain the inability of cmw to read the zips.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brandnu:
forgot to cover that in my last post...but i did convert to MTD first, followed the steps to the T. Im on TPR MTD version.

phone force closes

i LOVE THIS ROM -- my only challenge I'm experiencing is that the phone will force close when I try to call certain contacts, otherwise it is fine.

has anyone else experienced this? i've flashed, re-flashed, re-downloaded and re-flashed... and it keeps happening. wondering if maybe i can just flash a phone.apk or something?

any insights would be helpful -- RandomKing I've admired your work for a long time. I'm very reluctant to go back to ThunderHawk 3.3 because this one is similar, but i like the colors and some of the other fine details more... any suggestions??
[Epic 4G Android Development] brandnu:
sorry i couldn't be more helpful but i have also experienced the phone app force closing when attempting to make a call as well as searching call logs...maybe and download a fresh copy and reflash, that app in particular didnt install properly...just wanted to support your post.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
Try wiping data for phone.apk in titanium backup or a similar app maybe will help?
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
never rule that out of course, but I couldn't use this rom any more and had to switch to peoples rom because the sprint optimizer just wouldn't work for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cache83:
AH-HA!!

i think i found the challenge (for my phone, at least) and just wanted to report to you guys...

i noticed that when i "superdefrost"ed my phone would work fine...

i checked each of the three commands in the terminal and what I was able to isolate was "pm disable com.sec.android.app.sns" is what replicated that same force closing / freezing of my phone ... so i went into settings -> accounts and removed my facebook accounts.. went back and did "superfreeze" in the terminal and voila, my phone was working fine even when com.sec.android.app.sns was disabled

out of curiosity, i went back to settings -> accounts and added my facebook account, have left auto-sync on... and the phone is now working fine, so problem solved

what (i think) i learned:

next time i flash ThunderHawk 5.1.. do "superfreeze" in the terminal first BEFORE adding my facebook account in settings -> account. (i assume that the same thing would go with adding twitter/myspace accounts IF they also rely on SNS

brandnu i hope this gives you some good clues. if anyone can verify any of what i wrote here I'd much appreciate it... i just started isolating things and this seems to have worked for me but i don't want to drawing false/inaccurate conclusions.. THANKS!

RandomKing -- if any of this made sense and you're able to verify this is an issue (i've not had an issue with adding an FB account before superfreezing and then that causing my phone to freeze on calling fb-synced contacts before on ThunderHawk 3.3) in ThunderHawk 5.1, this could be a useful thing for you to note to others in your release notes or to keep on your list of fixes if you're still working on this..

other than that, besides my bluetooth connection being a bit buggy in re-connecting after disconnecting (i htink i saw other posts about that)... i love this ROM. thank you RandomKing for the amazing work1

ec05 modem compatible?

hey, by the way, do you think if i flashed the EC05 modem.. would that fix my bluetooth/wifi/4g bugs that i think others had reported about before?
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
I tried different modems without a success to the issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brandnu:
I needed a a quick fix and haven't had the time so I have been on TPR since my last post...hopefully a new download of TH 5.1 will flash without being aborted, I still have no idea why I can't install this rom but I can install TPR...but when I get TH5.1 up and running again ill post my findings

Wifi tether, bluetooth

my wifi tether and bluetooth doesnt connect. is there a way to fix this issue?
[Epic 4G Android Development] yaji63:
My phone goes into "Media Scanning...SD card" on first time booting and stops somewhere after 75% and remains there forever even after multiple rebooting. I did a clean install. I tried thrice but result is same. Because of this problem the camera does not start and gives the message "Media scanner running" and returns to home screen.

Any solution for this problem ?:confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
I'd try to format the SD card on your computer.

Copy the contents to your PC, format the sd card as FAT32, then copy the contents back to the sd card. Reboot.

Also you can add a .nomedia (yes the dot included) text file in folders where you don't want the media scanner to scan. If you have a ton of folders and files on your sd card, this can speed up that scanning process.

---------- Post added at 07:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 AM ----------

Can you explain the process you did to install TH 5.1, please?

Any restore of data?

What app are you using to tether?

I've used 3.1 beta 14 from here with success.

(download the apk, copy it to your sd card. Open es file explorer and tap the apk to install it)
[Epic 4G Android Development] yaji63:
Well I' am on cleangb as of now and there are no issues with my Sd card on it. I have tried various other Rom's (ICS as well as GB based) and none have given this issue, so i guess its got nothing to do with the SD card...
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
Does anyone have problems playing videos on this ROM or is it just me? Whenever I play a video (from gallery, the video app, a file manager, or stream it off the internet) it plays the first video normally but then after that it either FC's on every other video or it plays it with no video, just the audio. This happens also with other video players not just stock (mobo player to be specific).
[Epic 4G Android Development] mjbelknap:
unrecognized device

So after giving the install another go and locking up the phone yet again, I can't get the phone to connect to the computer because it's not being recognized. I've gone through and re-installed the drivers and still no luck. Running Windows XP and not quite sure where to go from here. All I can get into is the Downloading screen and a frozen Samsung splash screen. I've tried installing TH5.1 many times but this is the first time it's left me dead in the water...

Any thoughts?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Be sure you're suing the correct cable for your Epic.

Remove your SD Card and try to boot the phone.

Lastly, if you can get into download mode and odin sees your phone, go here and follow the instructions to get your phone back to stock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mjbelknap:
Tried booting sans SD card and still getting stuck at the samsung screen. Unfortunately odin is not seeing the phone because it's coming up as an unrecognized USB device
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Can you get into CWM Recovery? If so, do you have a backup available to restore?

if not:

Try uinstalling the the epic drivers and reboot the PC

Then reinstall the drivers

Then plug the phone in to a different usb port than you have been using

leave it plugged in until is says it sees it; if it doesn't either your cable is tweaked or the usb port on the phone is.

you may be able to look at the port on the phone to see if something is wrong with it (something is bent or there is an obstruction)

Good luck
[Epic 4G Android Development] mjbelknap:
Fortunately I did make a backup, unfortunately I can't get into recovery. I'll try uninstalling the drivers and see how that goes...
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
After uninstalling don't reinstall manually... just plug the epic in and let windows try to find them... I never could get the drivers from the samsung website to work... uninstalled all those and just let windows do it and haven't had a problem since....
[Epic 4G Android Development] mcluvin1065:
Why not try pdanet?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mjbelknap:
success! I used the samsung driver installer after a uninstall/reboot and it worked. just wish I could this ROM to work on my phone...
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Pdanet is how I got the wifes evo working.. lol... didn't try it for my phone cuz windows found em before I had to....
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Awesome glad your phone is working again :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
Traitor! lol

Miss anything about the Epic?

I'm still having issues with the dialer or contacts randomly crashing. There's not even a force close message, it just exits. Usually it takes a few clicks to get it to stay open. It seems to happen completely at random.

I also had an incident a few weeks ago where all of my text messages completely vanished out of nowhere. They were just gone, middle of the day without a reboot. I couldn't find a way to bring them back. Freak issues I suppose. I've never had that happen before.

Other than that, I still love this rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
LOL!!

Yeah I am still adjusting to no keyboard but that is really outweighed by how great the S3 is!!

Wow that is really freaky; my wife is still running 5.1 and it is going strong. It is still on my Epic; I use it as a mini wifi device.
[Epic 4G Android Development] yaji63:
I put the .nomedia file in the root (any other place the phone would still get stuck at "media scanner running") but now the problem is that none of the music files get into the music player list nor the photos come to the gallery. Is there a manual method of making Gallery and Music app recognize the photos / videos AND mp3 files respectively ? I do want to try this ROM but this one issue is freaking me out :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
If you put the file in the root; then the OS isn't going to scan anything and thus you will not have anything available.

You want to put that in folders that don't have media :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] qstarin:
I've been running 5.1 FC09 for a while. About a week ago my phone started constantly hunting for 4G and my battery dies within a couple hours (used to go at least a full day). Nothing I try seems to stop it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
I'd go through these steps..

hmmm; any new apps?

your 4g is toggled off? (stupid question, i know but sometimes)

might try to update your profile and prl

try to fix permissions in cwm

if those dont work; make a backup and then do a wipe of dalvik and cache

lastly; factory data reset, partion and dalvik cache
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
My 3g has completely disappeared! It is not showing on the top bar and I have no internet connection. My 4g is still working as expected. Where I am right now, 3g should definitely be available and other people with Sprint phones in my building are connected on 3g just fine. Restarting has not corrected the issue. Has anyone ever experienced this? It was working this morning and stopped out of nowhere.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
have you tried to update your profile?

How can I tell if I installed the BML or MTD version?

I need to flash back to stock and of coarse I can't remember what version (MTD or BML) that I installed. Is there anyway to go from MTD to stock without odin?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
No. Only odin can put you back on BML. There is a prerooted MTD stock ROM though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
A reflash brought it back. What a strange bug.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
To anyone looking to download this rom, or any other files I maintain, you may have noticed most of my links have died. Apparently, 2 weeks ago Goo.IM was kind enough to lose just about every file the server was carrying. I am re-uploading, and will be restoring links. However, some of the oldest versions of certain files/roms may be lost forever, with only the newest now being available. Maintaining online files is getting harder (between server crashes, 90-day file expirations, etc.).

I know I have been absent from XDA in its entirety for some time now. I still have my Epic 4G, and will update it if I find anything truly worth adding to it. Otherwise, I have created a rom and am readying it for release on the Sprint Galaxy S3 forum.

[Epic 4G Android Development] djjroc007:
That is awesome news! Just put ThunderHawk on the wife's epic yesterday. Running great as always. Very good on the battery so far, which was her main concern of course. Can't wait to get it on my s3. They are in for a real treat over there! Thanks Random

Is this still an issue since bbelos released his LED fixes? wondering if those kernel fixes need to installed with this ROM or if they've already been included. anyone confirm the LED issues still exist?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
You will probably need to update the kernel yourself for LED to work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ndno:
I love this ROM after a few days of using. However, I can't get my phone to go into "deep sleep" so it's draining my battery. It looks like my wifi is always on. I set the "Wi-Fi sleep policy" to "Never when plugged in" and it still won't go to sleep when the screen is off. Is there anything I'm missing or need to do? With this issue, my phone only lasts about 6-8 hours before I have to charge again and that's with minimal usage.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
CpuSpy tells you if it deep sleeps or not. As long as wifi is on the battery stats will show it on. Deep sleep also will not occur while charging.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
And just to go a little further, download better battery stats (can be found for free on xda for xda members, couple bucks on the market if you'd like to support the dev!) Download, install and let it run for a few hours, then open it up and look through the app... if a rogue app is keeping the phone awake, it'll be pretty obvious with the BBS app to tell which app it is... if you can't figure it out, post a screenshot of the wakelock option on BBS and whoever on this thread sees it first will help you out...

I also had this problem once and it was because of my uv settings so if you have any profiles or uv in voltage control or whatever app you use try to return it to default settings and see what happens.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ndno:
Thanks, it looks like my phone is going into deep sleep fine (according to CPU Spy). However, my wifi is not turning off. When my screen turns off, I let it sit for another 5 minutes and then I tried to ping the phone (wifi IP address obtained from my router) and it still replied! If it was truly off, it shouldn't be replying. I disabled wifi today and I noticed my battery improved (even though it was on 3G all the times). I think because wifi is not completely shut off, my battery is draining battery faster. I was using SetCpu but I disabled it and wifi still won't shut off when the screen is off. I may have to try Juice Defender to see if it can shut off wifi.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Did you disable the Sprint Optimizer?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BloatedDuck404:
How can you tell which is BML or which is MTD
[Epic 4G Android Development] frostedunit:
The installer is non wiping and will preserve the current file system. Meaning if you are on BML, you will stay on BML. It will not convert to MTD. If you are on MTD, you will stay on MTD.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ndno:
Yes, I did. I even disabled 4G (since I don't get it in my area). This is driving me nuts. Wifi staying on all the times shortens the battery life; currently I just disable it until I need to watch videos.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Did you try setting it off when screen is off?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ndno:
I believe so; the "Wi-Fi sleep policy" under Advanced has the following options:

After 15 minutes

Never when plugged in

Never

I picked "Never when plugged in", which I believe is the same as when the phone sleeps and it's not plugged into a charger.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Download Spare Parts + from Play. The Wifi sleep policy there should have the "when screen is off" option. Also note as long as the actual wifi option is on in settings you will get a solid line in battery stats but it will not show up in the percentages unless you are actually using wifi.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ndno:
Thanks. I downloaded Spare Parts+ and installed it. Through it, I was able to set the first option "When screen turns off". However, when I go to the System Wi-fi settings Advanced section, this maps to "After 15 minutes". I'm guessing this means that when the screen turns off, it will go into sleep mode 15 minutes later if the screen is still off, is that correct? I guess that's better than nothing. Btw, I'm using RandomROM and the Wi-Fi sleep policy doesn't have "When screen turns off", it has the "After 15 minutes" in its place.

So with that said, the wifi does go to sleep but not until 15 minutes after the screen turns off. Anyway to make this faster, like 3-5 minutes?
