Hate to hear that. I've done some testing and made sure mine was in deep sleep with no wake locks. So far battery seems to be decent. I'm getting close to what I got on GB. Part of my battery loss though is the battery itself. I know its bad but haven't been able to get a new one yet. I tested with my wifes and did get very close to 6 hours of screen time with a total of about 12 hours off charge. This was completely stock. You may wanna double check you're apps. There may be one or two that you need to clear data on.

I am now using agats 4.4 kernel with nothing else changed and my phone is going into deep sleep much better. I also noticed that Chrome was using a lot of resources on the FH13 kernel but now on agats it is not. Also, my kernel battery percentage use dropped by around 5%, but this changes often depending on what I am doing.

Will use that kernel with this rom and modem for a bit and see how it goes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
I gave it a try this morning to FH13 full charge then turn it on 99% battery (normal) then watched a movie 90 min and some channel surfing 25 min then went to my phone try to unlock it but it was fully dead without any single use, fully drained in about 1.55 hrs unbelievable. Well Charged it again, first SOD after I try to unlock it after 5 min locked had to pull battery. After a while I made a call to my wife when I was about to hang up the call the screen do not turned on had to pull battery again to hang up.

This is the worst build Samsung/Sprint has ever build in the history of humankind. :banghead::banghead:

Back to my setup: FF18 stock FH13 Kernel and EL29 modem no root

The problem is not in the Kernel (I think) because I'm using it on FF18 and not a single problem. :confused:

Bump! (OTA Announced)

FH13 has been announced on Sprint Community - waiting to confirm if the leak matches.

Expect it will with perhaps a slight variation.

Yeah, I'm wondering what the MR4 is about..

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Minor Revision 4 is the most likely guess. This means one of two possibilites:

Possibility A

FF18 was Rev. 2, FG20 (which RDF was removed) was Rev. 3, FH13 is Rev. 4

(Which FF18

does

show as Rev. 2 in the file name)

Possibility B

FH13 had 4 variants built by Samsung (minor changes between them) and Rev. 4 is the one they're pushing.

FH13 leak was renamed before sent to the masses so I can't tell what the revision was on it.

My guess is that any changes are going to be very minor and unnoticeable.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Raistlin1:
Man I hope the one that gets released is different from the leak.... I did not like FH13 at all.

Well, one thing that WASN'T fixed was the roaming notification bug. Really, Sprint? Really?

Oh well. Does seem more stable though. Haven't had a reboot due to lock-up since loading it up last Thursday night. I was having them pretty much every 2 days with FF18.

im still having a major bug issue with the battery??? i had it rooted and all and use the calibration app... can i wipe battery stats on recovery on stock and or any suggestions...ram is still high running around 300's when nothing is running???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mmark27:
HA HA HA HA. I'm in exact same boat! I gave her the SGS2 and my driver is the SGS3. Just loaded up FH13 trying to be nice to save her some battery....She's pissed as hell. ha ha. oh man......the things we do......

Also, I was noticing that sfhub's autoroot tools were unable to remove SuperUser app from her phone. This is odd because I have done this successfully in the past. Anyways, I have been instructed (in an ever so nice tone) to put her phone back to stock on FF18 and wait for Sprint to push the FH13. I have always planned to get her back to stock once any updates came along. So I'll be going through that tonight, then rebuilding her phone with TitaniumBackup.

Anyone recommend a free MMS/SMS backup tool? I know there are many that do SMS, but few that do MMS that are free.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tpapa:
Her presumption is that the OTA FH13 won't suffer from the sleep of death problem that you introduced with the leaked/rooted FH13....Let's hope....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mmark27:
Well, at least I won't be on the hook for it anymore. Then it'll be Sprint's problem. :)

not worst battery life ever i got a sleep issue??? i put it top sleep and it wont wake up until i power down then power on? any suggestions...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
I'm having an issue where I'll be running an app, and the screen goes black except for the notification bar and sometimes capacitive buttons. Holding down home doesn't do anything. I can hit the power button and wait a few seconds and hit it again but this time, the brightness is very low on the bar. Nothing is fc'ing or no error boxes are coming up. The only way to get out of this state is to pull the battery or hold down the power button so it reboots. The two apps, that my bad memory can recall, are tapatalk and xda free.

I don't remember if it acted this way with agat's fh13 ROM. I think it might have but I'm not sure about that. Has anyone experienced this? I don't remember if ff18 did it but I didn't care for that release very much.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Sounds like a bad fc and the launcher is taking its sweet time closing it. I've had that. I use a cache cleaner and it stops for a while.

After another flash, I don't see it. Happens time to time.

Hard to catch if you can't get a logcat when it happens.

That's because Mobile Odin can't flash modems on a CDMA phone. You need to use regular Odin, a one-click or CWM.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reckless_t:
So I decided to update today and all was well... Flashed FH13 Rooted Nodata OC, then flashed Agat's kernel/recovery. Changed font to one it did not like (Accidental Presidency) and it caused phone to freeze and boot loop. Unfortunately I had not done backup yet so had to revert to FF18 backup and start over. Not really a big deal but now it seems like /system is not allowing root access correctly. I did grab Root Check and it says I'm rooted. But I'm unable to copy an apk into /system/app, adaway is giving error there's not enough space to build hosts file (Storage shows 888 MB free for Device Memory), and adb remount is not working "remount failed: operation not permitted". Tried manually removing User's write permission from /system with ES File Explorer, then checked option to mount system as writable, but the properties did not reflect write permission. Also noticed the 000Root folder on sdcard is empty, should it be? Thoughts before I try the full restore with root?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
I'm taking a slightly, and I mean slightly, educated guess but it sounds like you lost partial root. Did you try viewing /data to confirm that you can see the contents?

000root should be packed with various files. You should see multiple install.*.sh files..

Never had the issue but I did see a post recently about partial loss of root.. nothing to work around it though.

I know it isn't any help but just some info.

:edit: Would trying to fix permissions in recovery help at all?

I don't know if you're on stock or a custom recovery but may trying to Odin a custom kernel w recovery and fix permissions? I'm guessing but maybe worth a try.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using Xparent SkyBlue Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reckless_t:
I am able to view /data. Also odd, I could make changes to build.prop and they stuck... Almost seems like edit permission is granted but not full write permission.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cferd:
This is off the top of my head but if you can edit then you have write permission, they're one and the same.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reckless_t:
Based on my understanding of permissions I would agree, but the symptoms seem to indicate otherwise. I know Windows has a "modify" permission set that can be applied w/o full "write" permissions, which is what this seems like, but I wasn't aware of such a thing with Linux. Just throwing ideas out there... Now when trying to manually remove write permission with ES File Explore I get "change permissions failed".

Could the user association be corrupt?

Tried chmod 755 /system through adb shell and get "Read-only file system". MoHo, I do have Agat's recovery installed and already tried Fix permissions with no resolve.

More for the pile... had Superuesr already on, installed SuperSU and seemed fine. Now I just noticed Superuser is gone, looks uninstalled.

UPDATE: So I went ahead and did factory reset from recovery and cleared Dalvik, then restored to my FF18 backup, ODIN'd FH13 Rooted no data, ODIN'd Agat's kernel/recovery and it now looks like we're back in business. Only thing of those that I hadn't tried already was the factory reset. Guess something got bugged in data that was causing havoc.

UPDATE: So I may have spoke to soon, it started wigging out again... Redid same as above, but this time no TriangleAway and still getting "Operation not permitted" when trying adb remount.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reckless_t:
Something else that's odd, after reflashing the odin rooted fh13 no data, I grabbed Root Checker and it said I wasn't rooted. Ran it a second time and then it said I was, weird. Still can't adb remount... Not sure if it matters but before update su was in system/xbin, now it's in both /system/xbin and /system/bin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
So good news? I believe the source of the issue with the Unrooted OC's is the fact the I did use the EG30 Bootloader and it for whatever reason is causing some inconsistencies in the Odin process. I'm trying to sort that part out...

The reason the Rooted version by Garwynn are not having the issues is because he used the Bootloader files from the leak itself. I'm currently testing the FH13 Bootloader to see whether it does or does not allow for the USB Jig to reset your Odin Count and remove the Yellow Triangle.

I've already provided links to the FB21 and FF18 Bootloader OC's I created but will provide one shortly for the FH13 and EG30 as well. If anyone already has the rooted version downloaded and on their phones and is willing to test the yellow triangle removal for me I'd greatly appreciate it. If you are willing flash this OC Kernel (Agat's latest 0.5.3). It will trigger the yellow triangle. After flashing shut down your phone completely, insert your USB Jig. Does it take you to Factory Mode or Download Mode? If it is Download Mode did it reset your Odin Count to zero? After rebooting is the Yellow Triangle gone?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
So after running multiple tests it appears that the issue is in fact with the Bootloader from the EG30 build not working correctly with FH13. I'm still not 100% certain why but I do have some good news! The FH13 Bootloader (leak and official) appears to allow the USB Jig to reset your Odin Count and Yellow Triangle! There is no need at this point to package the one-clicks with the EG30 Bootloader rather than the FH13. I'll be uploading new versions shortly. In the meantime, I've obtained permission from Garwynn to link to his rooted versions. For those wanted unrooted versions I will have those up this week.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reckless_t:
Anyone else having problems with root on Garwynn's versions? I went ahead and did the full restore with root and still get "operation not permitted" when trying adb remount... Did not have this problem on the rooted FF18 build.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Somebody correct me if I am wrong but that is a kernel thing I believe. The kernel has to support adb remount. Does root work for apps that require root. If so root is working fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reckless_t:
It does, but there are some functions that don't seem to be working right... more details on those a few posts back. But basically most of the problems are tied around making changes within /system. Willing to try whatever to determine the issue, so any help will be appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
The other issues sound like a bad Rom flash or a root issue. Have you tried downloading and flashing the room again? If not I would do that first.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reckless_t:
Multiple times, tried both the rooted nodata and full restore... same issue on both.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Do me a favor and flash my stock Rom and try it before changing kernels. If it works try it again with the custom kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reckless_t:
Which ROM, link? Is it rooted, don't I need root to mount /system as writable? The combo I'm trying is the stock rooted rom with agat's repacked stock kernel. I did try just the rooted rom with the stock kernel before installing agat's FH13 repack and still had the issues. Which is what was leading me to think it was an issue with root. But I'll admit I'm not thoroughly familiar with all the inner workings of everything... I know enough to flash ROMs and make a few tweaks I'm comfortable with, but don't get too crazy.

Another question, trying to learn ...Looking at Superuser under info-su binary it shows the following, which from what it appears I would guess are permissions. I would think r=read, w=write, and x=execute, but not sure what the "s" or "sr" is. Anyone know about this?

Odexed no data wipe from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30484311. Already rooted with busybox. It has the stock kernel also. Install that and try the other issues besides remount. If it doesn't work you have issues possibly in data or something, doubt it. If it works install agats kernel and try again. If it works you know there was a problem in the Rom/root. If not you know it was the kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rsngfrce:
Yeah. I'm really no expert at this though! Used the rooted no data version, think I was rooted, flashed Agat's source kernel and was no longer rooted apparently. Still had Superuser which said I was rooted but it could not update the binary and Root Check said it wasn't rooted (as well as all the root apps). Tried it twice with the same results and ended up going back to ff18. I understand that flashing a kernel won't remove root, so I don't understand what was going wrong... probably my inexperience though.

Hi, thanks for all this. I used your root for the previous version and it worked very well. When I got the update to FH13, I immediately found this post and performed the no data wiped method.

Clearing the data doesn't always work...and I have to constantly reboot.
