You said "connect usb debugging"...exactly what does that mean? I always have it checked but the connect part may be where i am going wrong. I saw device manager....samsung usb modem....driver tab...uninstall driver...checked box about files...unplugged phone....plugged back in but i get the red x??
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Don't worry, the docking will come when it's ready. We're trying to figure out if we can use the built in CM dock abilities. It could be a bit more difficult than I'm hoping, so perhaps I'll incorporate the old way until the new way works properly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JonMayer:
How can I fix the market always crashing? I can't install new apps or update on the latest nightly. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
I used the same approach I always do... I was thanking him for not misunderstanding as others have. The "blown gasket routine" is your interpretation of my more serious explanations after someone gets offended that I used sarcasm (and other forms of humor) to point them toward the answer instead of just giving it to them.

I see what has you confused, and it makes sense (because we do have extra steps in order to connect usb storage) - all he means is to connect the phone while usb debugging is turned on, so it sounds like you're doing that part correctly. No extra steps required :)

It also sounds like you completely uninstalled the drivers, which was probably the goal (flushing everything to get a clean slate). If I'm on the right page, then you now need to reinstall the drivers (the equivalent of a clean flash, if you will, as opposed to just installing the drivers over the old copies). The reinstall involves running an install program, because Windows' automatic driver location service won't find these drivers - that's why you're getting the red X.

Did you find the most recent Samsung Epic driver installer? If not, I think there is a thread for that somewhere, maybe in the sticky section (I haven't messed with Windows in almost a year, so I don't know which driver version is best anymore). Hopefully that clears up the confusion :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] slybarman:
I can read the change log and see what changed, my question is - how's it running? Anyone seeing anything better or worse?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MrEpic:
Well, while i was awaiting a reply, i did exactly that. Uninstalled drivers....restarted computer...found the drivers from link inside of qbkings "how to root epic 4g fc09 latest....connected phone to pc...and got the same problem...i even went as far as repeating the same steps from before...hmmmm.....would be me!! And i know its something simple...fml...but nonetheless....thank you for your timely reply..
[Epic 4G Android Development] nickveldrin:
Thank you, keith!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] weldsmoke:
This is what i was looking for follow these steps if your having probs.....The fact that you didnt even know what usb debugging was is kinda scary i hope you know how to use odin u might need it to restore your phone back to stock........Well hope it works for ya good luck

this here lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
I think you misunderstood him a little, and I think that's causing you to (unintentionally) come across as a bit of a jerk - he knew what usb debugging is (well enough for non-developer uses, at least - he had the option turned on already), he just got confused by the way you said "connect usb debugging." When we "connect usb storage," we have several steps in addition to just plugging in the phone in order to actually turn on the usb storage. Since you worded your instructions the same way, I think he was under the impression that he was missing some steps, because he thought he'd have to find a menu to "connect usb debugging" after he plugged the phone in - do you see where the miscommunication was?

Don't get me wrong, I know you're trying to help - I'm not attacking you, I just see another miscommunication and I'd like to fix that before one of you offends the other ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] MrEpic:
Wow ...and just like that....it works...thanks everyone once again...you never know how important something is ...till you are without lol...great job guys!!

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:39 PM ----------

Thanks for pointing this out. I understood in my head exactly what you wrote but i could not have said it better than you when it came to their response. Misunderstanding tends to happen on here a lot lol. But the way i look at it...he could have responded worse! The problem is fixed, i dont feel offended, you clarified the misunderstanding...so today has been a good day for me. Thanks for your involvement in this matter Styles420....one of my favorite 3 digit numbers btw!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] weldsmoke:
Sorry bro didn't mean anything by that (my bad) I'm glad it worked for ya enjoy
[Epic 4G Android Development] MrEpic:
I appreciate your apology and it is accepted. Another great reason to love this community. There is nothing like grown people handling situations like...well...grown people! Cheers!! See yall next problem lol

What DOESNT work on this? I know its been answered but i haventt been keeping myself up to date...sorry and thank you
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
I'm glad everything worked out :)

This is why I keep trying despite the adversity I have encountered (and caused by my own mistakes at times - I'm not free from guilt, lol). Weldsmoke, thanks for the help (you provided the bulk of the information, I was just a bit of a translator, lol), and thanks for understanding :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] TracerBullitt:
Um... Just about everything's working fine for me. Battery drain is still a mystery for me, but it really just seems to be me. While the headset mic works, my GF was complaining about audio quality to the point I had to talk without it. Camera works and has been improved but is missing the mute feature. I was told there was a way to mute it but it didn't work for me.

Other than that, again, everything is smoother, I could swear images are even crisper, and this phone's even more Epic...

Chicka-chicka-yeaaauhh...
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Seems to work fine for me. I had major battery issues with CM9. Nothing I did helped. Not so with 10. Everything else seems just ducky as well. Great job guys!
[Epic 4G Android Development] DurhamHusker:
I haven't run any CM10 builds yet ... but in other roms its been as simple as identifying the offending OGG sound file and removing (or renaming) it. Stock ROMs have these files in /system/media/audio/ui/ (I think).
[Epic 4G Android Development] sloheim:
So first off, let me just say, I think this ROM is fantastic... I've been running nightlies for a couple weeks now, and its as stable as can be. I've never gotten a random reboot, and my battery life is as good as ever. No complaints whatsoever.

My ONLY minor complaint... I have no idea what changes are being made in the nightly builds.

Dont get me wrong.. I know where the changelog is, and I can read what it says... but it don't mean nuthin' to me. Its all technical android mumbo jumbo. And I'm a developer. :) I'm sure the changelog means a lot to android developers, but not to the average user.

So I'd imagine that, once every few nightlies or maybe once a week, or whatever, a somewhat more major feature is implemented. Unfortunately, I have no idea what they are or when they happen,

Is there any way that the 1st post of this thread can be updated whenever major new features are implemented? I'll continue installing the nightlies, but would like to make sure I take advantage of new functionality.

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 1midniterider:
Quite possible, still tweaking settings... Which modem are you using? I have the FC09 installed...
[Epic 4G Android Development] TracerBullitt:
...That'll do. Thanx! :P

Also, to kinda piggyback off Sloheim's comment, does anyone know if the second 0918 nightly is important enough to download and flash? It seems to be just a few changes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] maltydog:
I have been running these CM10 Nightlies since they started. I am running the included kernel and the FC09 Modem.

I am having a lot of random reboots, multiple times a day, usually when I am not actually doing anything on the phone.

I also note that the screen has a tendency to just go on for no reason at all when the phone is lying on the table and I

am not doing anything with it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dohturdima:
Sounds like a bad flash. I would re-download the nightly, wipe data/cache and dalvik and try flashing again. I occasionally get random reboots (generally, when trying to run wifi hotspot and a call comes in) but they are few and far in between.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
You're probably right - although Bbelos has not announced a fix to that reboot potential in the kernel yet (which is probably the cause of your reboots), his issues seem to go above and beyond that potential. A borked install could be making that problem worse, or just introducing an entirely new problem...

But this reminded me of that kernel problem, so I thought a reminder that it still exists might benefit those of us who, like myself, have been lucky enough to not catch any reboots yet (if they've happened on my phone, I haven't looked at my phone at the right time to see them - stealth reboots, lol)
[Epic 4G Android Development] davidh59:
0918 Running very nicely, seems to have fixed my mms problem. Thanks again!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] h8it:
Can anyone send video in text?

Can you send and receive video in text message? Just wondering if everyone is having this problem or is it hit or miss?

On a side note do you always wipe data/cache and dalvik before flashing the new nightly? Or what should you wipe? Just trying to make sure my phone stays as stable as possible with each flash.

I odin back to stock the other day and came back to cm10 with wiping everything and formating sd card just for good measure. Running FC09 stock everything and have had one reboot and I guess a semi reboot. Opened phone to do something and the CM logo flashed up and started spinning after about 5 seconds the phone came back up.

Anyways enjoying the new look and it's like playing with a new phone.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
Personally I always wipe cache and dalvic just to be sure. I seldom wipe data unless I'm getting problems others are not.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
I never wipe anything. Never have a problem. Well, when I went from CM9 to 10 I had to. But DUH, of course I did.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
It's recommended that you wipe data and everything when flashing a different ROM. I personally never wipe anything when just updating to a new nightly, but of course, YMMV.

Side note: If you get a soft reboot that just goes back to the boot animation, that's typically some sort of android crash as opposed to a kernel crash, which will do a full reboot. You can get a logcat after the soft reboot to maybe see what the problem was. If you note the time of the crash and run "logcat -v time" to print the log with timestamps, it's easier to get closer to the appropriate section of the log.
[Epic 4G Android Development] savior02:
I'm having a problem with Apollo music player. The sound keeps getting distorted when the screen is off. Any fixes??
[Epic 4G Android Development] techfuman:
I know it's immature and juvenile, but all of this talk about wiping and not wiping ... it is absolutely killing me not to make some random toilet humor comments.

Sorry, back to on topic posts now .... :cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Is this still an issue? I just picked up a kinivo BTH220 headset and all the buttons (volume, forward, back) were working in Apollo without any extra setup. What app / circumstance was it not working? Which bluetooth headset do you have? I suppose I could flash back to an earlier build to see if it's broken there, but I'd rather here from you guys whether it's all working now or not.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TracerBullitt:
I've also noticed the same issue. A little distortion when initially turning the screen off (to put back in pocket) and during the music playing...

I didn't try the 0918 1/2 that looked to have some sort of Apollo update, though...

EDIT: Looks like there might be a fix for this in our near future?

"apollo: Gapless playback

* Support for gapless playback was added to the stock AOSP player in

4.1. This is a port of that code to Apollo.

* Fixes the cringing in terror when Stacie listens to Shpongle :)"

----------------

Also, has anyone else had call quality issues with their headset mic?

---------- Post added at 01:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 AM ----------

Wow, just has a hard reboot. Came back with a 12% drop in battery.

I was tinkering a bit, at the time. I'd copied and pasted the battery improvements into the build.prop file, rebooted, then used the memory and data booster apps. Plugged my phone into my computer and noted that neither the computer made a sound, nor did my phone light up, then had that ...black screen of death thing where the screen wouldn't turn on.

...Just wanted to log this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
It is probably the result of the mods you made, not the unmodded version that is supported in this thread. If you go back to stock and the problem happens again, definitely keep us informed and we (the official team and the experienced users) will be happy to help :)

But if you stick with the modifications, then please go to their threads for support, as you are encountering an issue with a version of the rom that is not supported here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TracerBullitt:
Cool, thanks for the response.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shinydude100:
This is the third crapout on the FC19 Modem I've had under CM10.. not impressed. Now headed to CM9. If the problem persists, it must be a bad odin, despite the fact I'm extra careful when odin'ing.

Edit: I'd like to add, this began to happen on Preview Build, then it happened on Nightly 09/14, and yet again, persistently there on 09/18.

It wasn't ever an issue on any of the unofficial CM10 Builds, so I'd like to say this is a 3.xx kernel related issue, if at all, something in the kernel could be borking the modem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
Not necessarily, I would go with the fc09,el30 or other modem. I have had a lot of issues with that modem, even dating back to GB. That modem would also die out on me and cause lots of reboots. I would switch to another modem and it would stop and all was well. Not sure what caused it but something was definitely screwy with it.

What's a good video gallery/ player for this rom???

[Epic 4G Android Development] sloheim:
Is there one modem that is most recommended right now?

I'm still running EI22, and am happy with battery life, but not so thrilled with signal strength... so I'd like to upgrade to a newer or stronger modem.

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Which build are you running when this happens?

I must be having a brain fart, I cannot find where to activate tether.

If proper forum etiquette and precise descriptions (that avoid causing further confusion), and other matters that set the Epic forum apart from the GS3 and Nexus forums are nothing, then you got me ;)

Then just say that, without the false statement that it is a bug. Not everyone here has learned as much as you have - some noob might read your reply and think that it actually is a bug. I'm just keeping facts straight, for my above stated reason. Don't get defensive over a technicality, just roll with it and be thankful for the relative clarity in this forum compared to others :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] slybarman:
Please look up the definition of "ass munch". ;)

Xboxj, Tried to patch this build... (experimenting) didn't work. Froze at CyangenMod/Samsung screen. Figured someone should see if it worked.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyCap:
same thing happening to me....figured it might be kernel related so I booted back in to recovery and flashed nyan then I had a blue progress bar but still not booting mtd and fc09

You might try disabling certain features of "now", I found it kept Maps running way too often.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Some noob is probably not going to know your technical definition of a bug. Some noob will say, it doesn't work - therefore its a bug. Just saying. To me being a noob, something not working sounds a lot like a bug. Maybe a low priority bug but something not working is a bug to me, having never read xda's complete dictionary on etiquette and precise terminology.
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
So how does one go about getting apps to install automatically? Doing it one at a time is such a pain.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
How about we not go back and forth over the definition of a bug, hmm?

And people wonder why there is so much useless crap within development threads.

When in the market go into specific apps you want to auto update and it should have a checkable option. Last time I saw, correct me if I'm wrong however.:)
[Epic 4G Android Development] runngwlf:
When you complete the setup process, and log into Google, there is an option to "keep this phone backed up with Google". On that page there is an option to restore as well as part of your setup. That is what I have used in the past. The problem I had was that it tried to re install items I had on my tablet too, which didn't work so well. Personally, I use titanium to restore everything without data, then if I have a problem with a particular app, I uninstall that one and re install it from the market.

That being said when I try this out I will be going from CM9 to CM10, an some apps are better re-downloaded from the market anyway as it will show you any compatibility issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stevie13.xo:
@bbelos you could add to the op a workaround for the deep sleep charging bug.. in settings/developer options check stay awake and then manually turn off the screen and it won't go to sleep
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
Does any one know if the USB DAIG Mode script is built into cm10 or is going to be?

I really hope it is. I hate ODINing stock just to flash a prl or change GPS low leave firmware settings.

Rocking cm9
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Huh. That's a clever find. Explains why mine was behaving "normally" lately, I was using the stay awake option to test some other things. So for those concerned with the device sleeping on the charger, there you go :) Until there's a proper fix anyway.

The new BSOD (not blue :p)

What do you mean about BSOD? Not respond if turn on the epic?
[Epic 4G Android Development] android_mp99:
I don't know if it was due to the flash because after I posted that it has been working fine since flashing the next nightly. It was with the google music app and multiple reboots/pairings wouldn't fix it. Didn't try a re-flash of the same nightly because the next one came out so went with the newest one and that fixed it.

bbelos, thank you for all of your time helping us and working on the 3.0 kernel. It feels like a new toy all over again. I can't think of anything that I use that doesn't work right now. Only issue is random reboots which are pretty rare and not a big issue for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] t1nk:
Lol,Yeah the screen wouldn't turn on,I had to pull the battery first time this happen to me. After rebooting the only thing that would happen when pressing the power button was CRT off animation the screen stayed black.
[Epic 4G Android Development] I Brick Phones:
Most comments i've seen are leaning towards FC09 as the most current one that is pretty reliable. I tried FC19 but had issues so went back to FC09 and no problems so far... as always, YMMV
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
My current build is equivalent to a 0916 build, although that nightly wasn't built. I will flash the latest and see if I can get it to happen. There's always a possibilty of an upstream merge that messes things up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] slybarman:
I flashed 0919 a couple of hours ago. No BSOD . . . so far.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skyjedi:
Can we flash via Rom Manager or is that still broken due to MTD CWM not being supported yet?
[Epic 4G Android Development] greezestain:
I'm starting to notice some patterns with the random reboots. During the week, I have my phone plugged in all day while I'm at work. During the weekend, I only plug in my phone when it needs charging.

1) I have not had a single random reboot while my phone is plugged in. While on battery, I get several reboots a day.

2) I have not had a single random reboot while actively using my phone. Every reboot I've gotten has happened while my phone has just been sitting there with the screen off. Reboots *have* happened while streaming audio, but not while I'm touching/interacting with the phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] savior02:
Just flashed 9/19 no black screen for me too. Music is fixed and seems snappier.
