Has anyone else seen SOD issues when using 4G on the 7/20 build?

Also, has anyone else experienced pixelation during transition animations w/ the stock launcher? It doesn't happen all the time, but I mainly see it when going to/from the app drawer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Toonlinkmaster25:
I've experienced that with all the device options so I just make sure I'm just ignoring that section for now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] times_infinity:
I haven't added the MDNIE stuff to the kernel yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JBNAquatics:
The pixelation you're experiencing is referred to as screen tearing. Search up this thread and the solution is to go into build prop settings and remove a line called hw vsync or something. I'm on mobile so I can't find you exact details. Just search this thread.

When i ever i flash rbis rom i can't use 3g. The 3g indicator remains grey. This isn't just for this room though it's food other roms too. The only time my days works is when I'm stock or a rom that's based off of stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MRMonaco:
Thanks. That makes sense. Didn't even think of relating it to screen tearing.

Torch Mode

Firstly, this is a wonderful ROM. I'm having minimal issues.

However, when the phone is OFF and I use the Power button to enable Fast Torch mode, if I hold the button down more than a few seconds the phone will spontaneously reboot. Is this a bug or feature?

Also, when on a phone call, if the screen times out the volume controls do not work to "wake up" the screen. I'd like this because I use the Power button to hang-up, and once the screen goes blank there is no way to look at an email or whatever while talking on the phone without hitting the power button and hanging up. Perhaps it could be a double-press of the power to turn on the screen or hang-up?

Thank you

I'm getting a delay with my text messages. I literally have to call someone to get them to come in. They show up like 10-20 minutes late. Any ideas what could fix this?

Maybe I won't get ignored for a 5th time.

i do not see others reporting this bug. i think u did not do something right / even if ur not sure a total wipe and re-flash are in order.

I concur, why do people feel like everyone owes them an answer to their questions... people get so rude and upset about nothing

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btaylor545:
Are you getting the texts through Google voice if so you might need to mess with the mobile network options. The mine was doing that and when the screen was off the phone would go into roaming mode switch the phone into home only or change the settings to allow data roaming the problem went away for me after that. That's my best guess

Thx for all ur work. Love the rom! Any chance of getting a zip or tar of the 2.2.1 kernel. If I missed in thread I'm sorry. I've looked all over the threads and I find the 2.1.8 but not the current. Thx in advance

New to this Device

Hello all - so I am not new to XDA, nor to Roms and Kernels etc, been running AOKP stuff for long time, had the NS4G until recently, had to switch over to replacement phone, so effective hopefully tomorrow i will be learning to experience a Sprint Galaxy Sll Epic Touch 4g. Before I read for hours i wantd to make sure I am in the correct forum, I am so used to the NS4G being only made by sprint that I always knew where I needed to be lol No will have pleanty of questions regarding the new device.

Guess i better remember to edit my signature too lol

Welcome... :D you'll like the phone trust me. I can't leave mine sitting for more than 30 mins. Development here is starting to boom now that we just acquired source! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mad82109:
I did a wipe and reflash oh well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kevin cracolici:
I have been reading a few pages or so from the beginning of the thread and compared to the NS4G needless to say i am a little concerned, sure sounds a lot different, I always ran clockwork mod touch recovery and I am hearing stories initially about it not being safe with this and having to run TWRP? and is there a preference on kernels? I usually always ran Math Kids stuff, loved it but.... whole different world for me now i guess, feel like a newbie again lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ih8crackerbarrel:
I just jumped over to this rom from Calk's ICS rom and so far I'm loving it. If anyone has any tips on fixing the two issues I'm seeing I would greatly appreciate it.

Issue 1: my phone restarts pretty frequently on 4G and often the battery percentage will drop like 40%. I think other people are having this issue so I assume there isn't really a fix at this point but if there is please send it my way.

Issue 2: I've been dropping calls like crazy. A restart of the phone seems to help but the calls still drop pretty frequently. I wasn't able to find an option to update the prl or profile like I was able to on my last rom. Are there any other steps to avoid dropping calls that I can take?

Any help would be awesome. Thanks for all the hard work developers!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] G.Newton:
I just recently joined the E4gt forum as well. Flashing on Evo 3D was so much easier, just boot to recovery and flash away. On this phone, I always ODIN a verified safe kernel with a repacked recovery before I do any wipes/flashes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fabolousrmx:
After a battery cycle or two on the 7/20 rom/kernel it seems like the display is using a considerably greater percentage of the Battery. Than in prior builds

The only difference in my settings since the last build is a 50mv CPU under volt across the board as well as a change to the smartassV2 governor.

It seems like i'm getting much less on-screen usage per charge this time around. Any suggestions?

EDIT: also according to CPU spy since the flash my phone no longer uses the Deep Sleep Cpu State. hrmmmm
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] G.Newton:
What do you mean Gapps didn't install? Did something happen in recovery while flashing? If you setup a Google account on your clean install, then GApps was successfully flashed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crimsonred36:
I'm not sure why, but I feel like my battery is sucking balls.

And that's 19 hours of doing nothing, I was asleep for about 11 hours of those and at work for 6 (both places have wifi).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
It's not clear what apps are in the"gapp " zip ,after flashing and first start up I could not find the Gmail app to sign in to my gmail account, so I had to download it from the play store. Maybe someone forgot to include it in the zip? So can I say that the gapp zip didn't flash? No google+, no Google voice, no google oogle ? Not sure what's missing.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crimsonred36:
It honestly feels like when I use my phone to do something, say get on facebook/instagram, for about 5 minutes, it drops atleast 5-6% every time. And this is by no means a criticism of this rom/kernel. I had this on the Venum ICS rom as well. I think the last time I had crazy battery life was EL29 Calk's rom. And that was a LONG time ago.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] G.Newton:
Those apps are not included on purpose in the GApps.zip

1. Because they can be downloaded from the market (i.e. Gmail, Maps, Youtube, etc).

2. As long as you can setup your Google account, you have flashed GApps correctly.

In short, there's nothing wrong with your Gapps, and you've seem to flash them correctly. You can however, customize your own GApps.zip file and include the .apk's and installation scripts for those apps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
you could just double-click on the zip and see what apps are in there...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Gapps is mainly the market and Google frameworks. If the app is available in the market then it won't be included in Gapps packages.

Inaccurate battery percentage?

Every time I reboot my phone the percentage drops like, 20% or more. Once I rebooted my phone when it had like 70% and it dropped to like 7% and then the battery percentage started going up....for some reason it seems that my battery percentage isn't being reported correctly. Quite strange. What do you guys recommend?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
That's a known Samsung issue. I used to believe it was due to an uncalibrated battery but I'm not so sure anymore. That one thing I can say is that when it dies those huge drops like that most of the time you will still get a lot out of the battery. Normally much much more then you would if the battery really was at 7%. Try deep cycling the battery and wiping battery stats. It may help.

As far as I understand this kernel still has the "Fuel_Alerted" wakelock that may cause the rom not to enter deep sleep. Has it been patched at all for the E4GT?

And could someone make a 25 or 50mv undervolt script for the GPU? I'm sure there are many others like me that don't feel comfortable doing it ourselves.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neudof:
Loving the 7/20 update TI!

The only real issue I have that bothers me is that 4G will not re-connect if it drops, and it seems like 3G does not want to pick up. Cycling Airplane mode fixes 3G and Cycling 4G fixes 4G so not a deal breaker, just irritating.

Thanks again for all the Awesome work!

I had similar issues with other ICS builds before I setled on Caulk's E4GT v. 3.0 with the ICS touch and TW 4, been running this on my phone for about 4 months now with great battery life and no hickups whatsoever. Wifey's phone got the ota with ff 18 and after a week or so of lousy battery life and other odd stuff she wanted more ICS look so I took QbKings lead and flashed it on her phone, well it looks cool and ICS like but the battery issue blows chunks. Gonna let it stew the rest of the week and see if it improves, I realize that you need to give it a week or so for the Rom to settle in and hope that it improves. If not I'll be flashing Calk'a E4GT on her phone also. I have gotten 28+ hours inbetween charges on my phone running Calk's Rom with moderate daily use, it be nice to see ICS do the same. With the rush for dev's to put out roms, quality is falling thru the cracks to quantity.

Removing it helped.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hrffd:
This build us amazing. I'm getting awesome battery with moderate on screen usage.

Use Power Saver to turn off data when you aren't using the phone and screen is off, with 20 second delay in case I'm just replying to a text. I can easily toggle it back on by sliding the navigation bar down for half a second.

Use Hold Back To Kill option under general, to get rid of any apps you don't need out of your memory pool. It's became a habit to me to just hold back when exiting most apps. Without them in the background, battery is a lot better.

Undervolt. I have all of my undervolts to 75 and under, I never get freezes now. I can probably raise the higher clock speeds to lower volts also, I may experiment some more. It's always trial and error.

Use the SmartassV2 governor. It's designed to be like On Demand and conservative, but the way it changes speeds of the processor is a lot better for battery.

USE AOKP SETTINGS.This is why AOKP is so great! We have all of the settings built in unlike any other ROM! Don't use 3rd party apps such as SetCPU or task killers (which believe it or not, tend to waste even more battery). What a waste of battery, when we have it built in. I like my Max CPU to be 1200 because I take advantage of my phones speed, but some people will go down to 1000. Minimum at 200.

charge to 100. Take your battery out for 5 minutes, unplug phone. Put it back in, let it boot. Battery should be more stable.

Remember, these are just my tips. I get 20-30 hours moderate on screen time usage usually.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fabolousrmx:
What's the most effective way to test your undervolting settings? I had my CPU undervaulted by 50mvs for a couple days and it worked well, but I went down to 75 and I would get freezing. Also do you have a basic gpu undervolt script to share?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hrffd:
Experiment. Try higher clocking speeds on lower voltages, and lower on higher. I've come to see higher speeds need higher voltages, but it can sometimes work vise versa.

No I do not have a GPU script, but I can probably find one.

GPS not working.

Just flashed AOKP yesterday from Stock and the only issue I'm having is my GPS isn't working. I don't know how to fix it or why it isn't working but I meed my GPS. I was trying to find directions somewhere earlier and it keep saying searching for GPS' signal

Is this a known issue or it just my phone.

Also, sometimes... mainly when I'm using the Play Store my screen will start to flicker, this isn't major bit I need my GPS.

Any solutions would be greatly appreciate. Otherwise I'll have to wipe and reflash. -___-

Believe OP told you this is a problem that is seen on all devices running AOKP and is not a problem specific to this phone or build, and as such, would need to be taken up w/ the AOKP team itself.

Ditto on mine for the 4G.

I have to occasionally cycle airplane mode for 3G as well (for the past few builds). It will appear that I have 3G data access when looking at the icon, but trying to get to the internet, it fails. During those times, I've noticed that I'm often not getting an IP address, in apps such as SetDNS, and the airplane mode cycling often fixes it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
A previous version had a patch released to fix this. Which is why I asked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EggosEvo:
My screen keeps having a checkerboard like pattern in some apps when I scroll.

Any suggestions?

Search this thread for "screen tearing." There's just a line in build.prop you need to switch to "false" to re-enable VSync which resolves this issue.

---------- Post added at 10:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

My main remaining problem with this otherwise AWESOME ROM is the vibration. I'm missing calls and other notifications due to how weak it is. Can't feel it on my hip. The Haptic settings don't resolve it, presumably because Haptic is feedback for pressing onscreen buttons and unrelated to vibration from calls, but also possibly because that setting doesn't stick for long.

has ANYONE come up with any reliable fix for this? It's almost enough to get me to go back to Build 40.

I just set it to false and rebooted. Instantly the screen tearing was gone and all transitions/animations were smooth once again. So to the guy still having trouble, the method described by Times does work.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ryan2202:
Just another FYI in case anyone else is having the issue. I flashed the latest 7/20 build and the problem still happens intermittently. This time however, it happened as I was browsing (using 3G data on Dolphin HD browser), and a call came in. After I disconnected the call, 3G never came back. The icon and bars were there but they were just light grey and not blue. I toggled data on/off and it came back.

And I still cant get GPS to lock which is more disappointing because I do a lot of running and biking (logging my trips) but right now its not a deal breaker.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] modifidious:
GPS lock is a known issue w/ many ICS ROMs. Resolution = pain in the ass: Make nandroid backup.Make sure ROM zip and gapps are on phone or sd. Flash/Odin back to EL29 based GB ROM, Turn GPS on then open Google Maps and set some b.s. navigation route then wait for GPS to lock. Leave navigation screen on and reboot into recovery. Wipe data/factory reset then flash ROM zip then gapps then reboot system. I haven't had a problem restoring just the "data" portion of my nandroid backups as long I was restoring them to the same build ROM that I made the original from.

I wanted to find the deep sleep problem but haven't been able to. I did a full wipe of everything using Calk's format all, install the latest AOKP (on FF18 modem) and only installed CPU spy. It still would not go into deep sleep. I mess with various settings while checking CPU spy at all times (toggle wifi, toggle 3g/4g, disable notification pulse light, undervolting, governor, etc) and there still hasn't been a change. I then installed Chris's AOSP kernel and that did not help with the deep sleep at all. I also tried TI's zip file for the sensor test (on default kernel, not Chris's) and that didn't help either. I am stumped :'(

Lol I was actually being serious I was having the same issue with deep sleep everything I did the phone wasn't going to deep sleep until I pulled the battery while it was on. Kept it off for a Lil more than a minute put it back on and powered on, turned off the screen all of the sudden It was going to a deep sleep. This for me is one of the weirdest fixes but it worked. Idk if it's going to work for others tho.

It's funny cause I accidentally pulled the battery while it was powering on and it did go into deep sleep. On restart, it wouldn't. I didn't think that would help but you confirmed it. Will check it again to see if it'll go into deep sleep.
