All day yesterday after I installed the ROM, and did 1 reboot it was occuring. Today after I noticed users in this thread with the issue, I did a few tests myself and found out I wasn't receiving them, nor any messages yesterday after the flash.

After a reboot however, they seem to be coming through now. (Rebooted twice now to be sure) Not sure if it will happen again though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] amot:
Ah ok.

Thanks!

Does HDMI out and WiFi tether work on Alha 6?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
We don't need the PIT file for this phone. Just use one of the pre-rooted one clicks from rwilco12 or garwynn in the regular dev section. If you want un-rooted, use full odin and load the .tar file from sextape in pda slot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] saleen237:
Well I updated to alpha 6 from 9/14 build which i believe is the same maybe a few tweaks but still the volume issue exists. I even installed the paranoid android 2.13 to test it out for fun and I wasn't surprised to find out the audio issue is there too. I love my music loud and I'm not getting it. Please sbrissen is there something we can do about this. As I previously said volume is good it just maxes out halfway on the slider and the rest of the bar is useless. I just want to enjoy my headphones and I'm not getting full potential. Otherwise great ROM!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] amot:
Ok so I just tested Alpha 6 and all my songs are showing up as DOUBLE.... Bluetooth works but the whole double songs on my phone is causing issues for it to work properly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dsanders77:
Had an issue after flash, but telephony db trick fixed it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] internetaffairs:
how do I fix the wifi authentication problem? I can't connect to wifi if WPA2 is on...if I turn it off, I can connect to my wifi just fine.

also, why can't the music app find my music? my music is stored in internal storage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] amot:
Goto Settings > Apps > Media Storage, select Clear Data, then Reboot FIXED the issue. Just in case others run into this problem. :good:

---------- Post added at 01:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 PM ----------

Goto Settings > Apps > Music > Clear Data and see if that fixes it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigzeak85:
i did that now all my songs are not showing up...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] amot:
Mine was doing that earlier but that fixed it. When I went to music, it was completely blank. All I did was... Goto Settings > Apps > Music, select Clear Data and all my songs showed up. :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] citizens:
Well, I successfully went directly from 5 to 6 without changing recoveries or wipe/reset. Only thing I had to do was reflash gapps. I can't really tell any differences though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] internetaffairs:
clearing the data in both media storage and music didn't do anything for me...

it looks like when rebooting, JB isn't scanning my phone for music. I remember GB and ICS scanning for my files everytime I rebooted my phone. Normally, it would say this in the taskbar..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] igorb81:
Did you accidentally turned it off with Autostarts app or similar? Sounds like your media storage is disabled during startup. Did you tweak anything? I have mine off after startup.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] internetaffairs:
I didn't do anything....at least not purposefully. I just flashed this new rom (love project butter!) and it never found my music...doesn't work with thrid party apps either...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pniedziela:
I am on alpha 5 and have not been able to get the GPS to lock on.

Anyone else having GPS issues? Any ideas? The GPS indicator does not even blink..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sickboy82:
The latest version has been running fantastic for me, took my phone off the charger at 6am and now at 5pm I'm at 50‰ battery after listening to music through my jawbone era via power amp app most of the work day, sound quality is fine for me, and I haven't ran into anything major. Great work dev, thank you for all that you have done here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paranoid android85:
Alpha 6 has been sippin on my battery all day. Very nice. My replacement battery finally came in so hopefully I'll see a big difference from now on
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] internetaffairs:
yea...texts are definitely not coming through...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Apk07:
What exactly is the difference between this and Phantom's build(s)?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
CM10.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Apk07:
Oh wow I have no idea how I didn't notice this was just plain AOSP without CM10, derp on my part.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dsanders77:
It's got a few pieces of CM 10.

I have not tried the stock app, I use GoSMS and have had no problems
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Chew DZ:
Is the volume really that difficult to fix? Or is it just low priority? Im really just not getting it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] saleen237:
Even though the volume is good as I already said it has more potential since it maxes out halfway. I love my music loud and I know my headphones were louder on the ota ICS update before I rooted and flashed my phone. So yes I agree with ya let's get this issue worked out
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wraith404:
I've seen progress and comments from the people working on it, along with GPS, battery, and LOS over the last couple builds. So I'd say it is both difficult to fix and of reasonable priority. That said, this is still an alpha, and not intended as a daily driver unless you can deal with the quirks. I'd expect a while still before those things are all stable. If volume is a priority, I'd suggest finding a bluetooth device to connect to, or reverting to stock ICS. I can mediate the current issues because I'm rarely far from a charger, have the multiboot worked out to recalibrate GPS when needed, and only connect to audio via bluetooth - both car and headphones. The fact that A6 fixed audio for Google Voice playback was a big win, that was probably the toughest for me to deal with. I'm just saying, read this thread and the CM10 thread, and you'll clearly see what they are working on. They don't need extra flak.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmonger11b:
I'm going to make the assumption that it's not a top priority since for most people the volume is fine and don't need it to blast. With that said however for me it does suck since I suffer from hearing loss (go army lol) and it's just to quiet for me. Only thing keeping me from flashing back to this. Sbrissen has done amazing work with this rom and it work and looks so much better than anything I have found for the e4gt.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sugewhite:
Do I need to flash the gapps also or could I just flash alpha 6? Thx
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thewadegeek:
Depends on what the problem is. There no defined this bu = this fix. They need to debug and track down the error, then actually figure out the fix for it, as well as living their own lives. Major cooperation's take 6+ months to release a update for a reason, this stuff isn't as easy as sbrrssen and Chris make it look.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kevin cracolici:
Yes you need to flash gapps too

First Brick------

***I think I bricked my phone??? Was running AGAT Recovery and attempted to install ALPHA6. Stayed in install mode for over 1 hour, then black screen with blue LED light***
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EVOSerb:
something similar happened to me also when i was flashing alpha 6. I restored to stock ics so i could get gps lock and than i forgot that agat recovery was included with stock ics rom but i flashed alpha 6 with agat recovery anyway and got stuck on nexus boot up logo. i pulled out battery and than held power button and volume rocker up and to my surprise cwm recovery was there instead of agat so i just wiped everything i flashed alpha 6. it works like a charm...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cw00dw0rd:
A5 to A6

Just got a chance to flash the newest. Wanted to see if doing an "upgrade" would work so far yes and I finally have my auto-orientation back after doing a calibrate after flash. Got a lock with A5 and then booted recovery figured it could only help and GPS seems to being working maybe better?? :) Awesome work will keep posted if "upgrade" ends up causing issues.

Thanks Again!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] saleen237:
I'm fully aware that the devs know what problems people are having since they are posted over and over but then again they don't get paid for this and we should be thankful for what they do for us. Felt like I needed to clear that up since I have posted of the volume cap in previous statements and overall my phone is working flawlessly and even though I would like it to be attended to I understand everybody are having bigger issues and personally I don't need to lose my hearing anytime soon lol. So thanks sbrissen for your hard work and hope to see more improvements for us all goodnight everybody
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kuchma777:
WiFi tethering work just fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lord dredd:
can anyone plz elaborate on the

major bugs in the alpha 6

TBH i need something to be used on a daily basis , i know its alpha and isnt meant for that , just want to chk if i can do away with them bugs if at all i take a plunge.

On a side note can anyone suggest me a great Stock ICS vanilla ROM, with zero touchwiz stuffed :P als preferred kernel for it.

would be highly thankful :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kuchma777:
I never had a problem with text.

In case just get Google Voice, and use widget to see if you got anything missing.;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
I'm using it and can say is a DD candidate. Only issue is battery performance (coming from full battery from stock first charge last long then it's downhill depending use) and video camera effects.

I haven't experience any other issues that has been reported about TXT, MMS, YouTube, Reboots, GPS nada.

All apps working great. (the ones I use the most of course, everyone uses a different set of apps).

No LOS nada unless you are in a low reception area. Duh! :D

So if you don't mind recharging twice a day (moderate use) or more (Heavy Use). It's a DD for sure. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tkgadgetman:
what app are you using for wifi tether?

Has anyone got the hdmi out to work? Very impressed with this rom and I am using it daily
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
I use Wifi tether for root users. Beta 2 from Google Play Store.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdawg244:
only thing i have to say

is. is there any chance of you making a cm10 build this is the best jellybean build for epic4gtouch but l really miss all the cm features i know a ridiculous question im sorry
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jasherpowers:
Absolutely the best JB build. Less options, but smoother and less buggy than AOKP and better battery life than the CM10 5.3 or nightlies. Great ROM sbrissen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] milky1112:
Fox Fi or Barnacle will work. I can post links to both if you prefer (Barnacle is a Ad Hoc tether) but Fox Fi works great as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Masterface7:
I am gonna say no. This is our sprint SGSII cm10 build Maybe you have had a bad experience with it but it is actually quite good. I like this rom better though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] igorb81:
I thought this ROM was great but I after I flashed ParanoidAndroid 2.13 last night. I am in love. It's even more polished for some reason, fantastic battery life with million options. I am really sold on it guys. No issues at all. I got GPS lock in seconds. It was great timing since something happened with my AOSP lately and I was getting all sorts of issues for no reason and I lost GPS I couldn't get a lock at all anymore. So I just wiped and flashed PA 2.13 and everything is working much smoother to my amazement. GPS locked right away and everything is super fast with so many options to please any geek like me. I did have same issue with media storage. I fixed it like I did before with my write up in my signature line. Everything working excellent from my SD card too. The best ROM I have ever flashed on this phone.

I got 4 hours of screen time on it last night. All my data carried over from AOSP without any issues. I didn't miss a beat. :) Sorry for hijacking this thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MajorTankz:
Are people getting any force closes or reboots besides the already known bugs?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shaneski:
Not I. I only have an issue sending MMS and my battery is draining quickly. But an otherwise awesome ROM! I'm loving it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] milky1112:
Can't help with MMS, but can make a few changes to help battery. Turn autosync off or allow to sync with longer durations between, screen brightness down low (auto bright off) use Juice defender or similar to manage data (mine's only on with screen on), Little things like that will increase battery life by a little.. oh, and sign out of Gtalk (If not using) it's an auto sign in program. So will eat battery up. I keep 4g off (not in a servicable area anyway) And as for MMS.. i think only Native is not working, 3rd party such as GoSms works i do believe.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shaneski:
Thank you! I'm already using Juice Defender as well, it does help. I turned off my Auto Brightness too and turned it to the lowest setting. Right now I'm sitting at 36% battery with 1hr 5min screen on. I turned off my mobile data completely. 4G isn't available in my area either (barely mobile data either, in Phoenix). GSAM is saying App Usage is 63.6% of my power, and my screen is 27%. I think I need to try to turn off auto-sync since my apps are killin' me. But my battery life is improving the more tweaks I make. I was using EL26 with < 4hrs battery with only a few minutes screen time, I flashed FI03 last night and I am already getting much better results on my battery life.

As for my MMS, I use Handcent. I read in this thread a few pages back to delete telephony.db and another one (forgot it off of the top of my head) and that didn't work. But in the scheme of things, that's minor. I can always e-mail anything if I have to. But thank you again for the tips! If there are anymore let me know, lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wraith404:
Does anyone else on ALPHA6 keep switching to silent mode? It's been happening to me constantly since flashing. I'll turn the ringer back on, look down a couple hours later, and silent is back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] milky1112:
Yeah app sync is a good killer. Because it's constantly trying to update.. I usually set my email to 4-6 hours or more between, don't sync FB and what not.. (i don't even use it) those things do make a world of difference. I'm not on this rom currently so can't say how my life is yet (may run it later this weekend) i'm running the Super Galaxy V1.8, Agat Kernel, with placebo 2.0 set to Shift 3. Currently at 55% with 9 hours on battery, 1 hour 12 min screen on. And still cooking along. So that's how my life's going on here...

It's strange. I too flashed PA but I still can't get GPS to work. It's been that way since I had AOKP 4.0.4

It just searches forever.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wraith404:
46 minutes screen on, led notification disabled, and using cpu sleep, nothing else.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JamesPakele:
It was doing that to me too, for another ROM... I went into settings > location services > GPS Source and set it to "Use Internal GPS"... don't know if that will help, but it's worth a shot...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robertm2011:
If you drill down on app usage, you may find that Media is the big user. Keep going, tap the Manage button and it will probably go to Downloads. Force stop it (won't hurt anything), wait a few, and you will see your battery usage smooth out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gatesmarch123:
Can ANYONE explain these wimax speeds?! It only happens on ICS or JB custom ROMs. When I'm on gingerbread ROMs like calks 3.0, I have speeds of 10mb downstream. This is definitely ROM specific...possibly kernel?

What's really odd is how consistent the speeds are. It looks like the modem/ROM is preset to not exceed 700kb down and 1.5mb up. And why the hell is my upstream faster than downstream. I've been trying to solve this issue for weeks.

I've tried several modems, prl update, one click odin back to stock, reformatted internal storage. Nothing fixes it! Its frikkin annoying as hell...and driving me batty!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RyanBurnsRed:
Yep, I've tried that. I really don't know what's wrong. I guess I can live without it I guess.

And on this rom (AOSP), the battery life was good for about a day. After that it would drain really quickly. Just using the facebook app for 5 minutes would drop the battery down from 99% to 67%
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Same thing here man. I heard that this should be fixed soon with a recent leak that dropped but can not remember if the source was credible or not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shaneski:
Only 0.9%. Android system is 14% and followed by kernel at 8%. Hmm..

Battery tip# 473

If you are using pandora or similar streaming service, download autostart app. Go thru and turn off these apps from starting for any event. This seems to reduce AudioOut_3 wakelocks.

Enjoy.

Like everyone has been saying, I've finally got GPS to work. I downloaded a GB ROM, got a lock, then flashed to Jellybean.I wish I did that sooner.

Only problem I have with this ROM now is the battery life
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shaneski:
Definitely go back and read the pages. That is if you haven't already. I've gotten an extra 6hrs out of my battery using all the tips on here. They're all really helpful. May require tons of googling to understand like myself, but worth it. Lol

As was stated i posted a few things to help as did others. I am also running placebo as well and i see 16 hours or so. 1 hr 45 screen on and had 39% battery remaining. Android os was biggest issue. And i had a wakelock at 2 hours. So battery life is possible on this rom for sure. Moat are simple things. Display brightness, data sync, stuff like that. Nothing crazy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gazzuk:
Getting decent battery life here. The ROM needs to settle a little
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shaneski:
I wish I did! I'm new to all this though, which is why the best advice I have, is to follow the advice that I did., lol

Meanwhile, I think it's my battery that is suffering. With 13m of screen on time (on the lowest setting) with nothing syncing, I was at 33% battery after 9hrs. We will see if that works. Hopefully it does.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Archytee:

Ran into a problem trying to turn on USB storage, the phone reboots itself. This problem is repeatable for me and persists thru rebooting. I'm going to wipe and start over.

Attached is a log I pulled right before I tried to turn on storage and rebooted.

Clean install of Alpha6 since 9/19, 7/26 gapps, no mods.

It's specifically for CM9, but it has good info on saving battery: http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/p/customization-guide.html

The only thing I would add is the chrome tilt to scroll bug. Maybe it's been fixed, but if you are running chrome, go into Settings->Developer Tools and turn off tilt to scroll. It seems to wake your phone every time it's tilted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
The 1.5Mbps upstream won't go any further because of a cap placed by clear wire. There has been times were ive rarely gone over the capped up to around 2.1Mbps but most cases you shouldnt see anythimg past 1.5Mbps or around there. :P

Sent from my anti team themers phone!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Archytee:
Yah, I'm satisfied with the upstream, but downloading is really frustrating. I've registered as high as 15 mbps down in the city, and consistently at around 8+ in NYC area. Since my replacement phone arrived, I max out at almost exact .55 mbps, which is wholly unacceptable. I then got another replacement, which has the exact same problems. I haven't even bothered calling Sprint again because they never do anything aside from wasting upwards of an hour of my time. I have seen other disgruntled people on this thread and others complaining about this issue -- so I know I'm not alone -- but have yet to find an actual solution. If anyone can help, it would be extremely appreciated. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abadasstanker69:
I was having that issue too. I live in Houston. I went back to calk GB and its gone. I'm even using the newest modem... weird how that works. I was under the impression that it was the modems causing this issue which is why I went back to GB. I wanted to test it. On GB I'm running almost double the speed of any ics or jb build I've tried. I have an air rave at my house so the signal wasn't varied at all. I would think thats as close to a controlled experiment I can do. Anyway, that's my 2 cents

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Spacemany3k:
Just a note to others, I searched this thread and saw some tips on how to fix GPS. I'll share my experience on how to NOT fix it.

Don't flash a custom recovery over this ROM. Agat, which is the 'safe' recovery used for GB and ICS, doesn't like JB at all. I flashed it, and got only a blue led light when I pressed the power button. Removing the battery and pressing the volume up and power button will boot ONLY Agat, JB won't run at all.

My method to fix the GPS was going back to Caulkin's GB ROM and reflashing a EL26 custom kernel on top of that, then getting a lock and reflashing JB. However, a prop build error resulted when trying to do that. What I then did was flash Agat on top of the GB rom and see if that worked, still no.

The ultimate fix I found was going to GB --> Fixing GPS -->Flashing Agat --> Restoring to my ICS Nandroid (The one I did before updating to JB) --> Ensuring GPS still locked --> Flashing JB.

This fixed my GPS issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
Lol this is too much if I would to need to fix my GPS I would only go back to a GB ROM get a lock mobile Odin el26 and flash which ever JB ROM I'm going to flash. This way works for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Yeah, you DO NOT want to try to run a JB ROM with ANY ICS kernel. Agats or otherwise. They are not compatible.
