I've been flashing nightlies up until 11/07 putting up with the odd reboots, stutters and excessive battery drain, all worth it for the better experience CM10/jb has to offer. Today I flashed the stable build, not expecting much different, especially given the recent discussion about bad WiFi, etc. Well, I'm happy to report that not only is the performance noticeably snappier, but the battery usage is much much better. I know, YMMV, but for but for the first time for me, the battery status is showing a reasonable outlay: screen 38%; Voice Calls 30% Android OS 10%, Exchange services 5%, etc. And the phone is cool and the battery is clearly lasting quite a bit longer.

So thanks, bbelos, for all the hard work. It seems to be paying off, and it's much appreciated!
[Epic 4G Android Development] TracerBullitt:
So, I've been reading about the unfortunate recent issues and, with my laptop stolen (a completely different, unfortunate issue), this here Epic is now the main way i communicate. I'm kinda afraid to tinker with it too much, but ...i still wanna try a newer build (on 10/28 still), battery drains a bit and heats up. What are people's recommendations; the Stable or 11/14...
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
What, no mention of the status of the wired headset and mic?
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
I laughed and cringed at the same time when I read this... the md5sum will always reveal a bad download. When the sums match, that means that your downloaded copy is exactly identical to the copy on the server, bit for bit.
[Epic 4G Android Development] czechpunk:
Definitely stable, at least for now. I'm not sure what kept causing half of my screen to go blank, but if you experience that, let it go through all the boot up stuff, then, pull the battery, put it back in, boot into recovery and, without first wiping cache and dalvik, reflash the stable build, then wipe caches and then fix permissions.

These were the last ditch efforts I pulled last night after my phone kept rebooting. YMMV, but now my phone is working properly, so, yeah...

3G/1x status indicator?

Is there a 3G/1x status indicator on CM 10.0.0? This is my first experience w/ CM so I'm not sure if this feature broken/planned or that I simply cannot find how to turn it on... I'm migrating from Clean GB.

On a related issue, I am confused by this setting, which might be related. Which do I want for Sprint and the Epic 4G?

Settings>System>Notification Drawer>Widget Buttons>Network Modes

2G/3G+2G

2G/3G Only

2G/3G Only/3G+2G
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
Yes there is, or at least I'm pretty sure I've seen it. Where I live I get pretty good 3G coverage.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bypod:
It may not be helpful, but I wanted to share a minor incident I had last night, prefacing that I was someone who experienced trouble with wi-fi not engaging on 11/8 and 11/9. Since bbelos recent unofficial, I hadn't any trouble. Nor did I have any trouble when I switched to the stable release... at least I thought.

Last night late, my battery died. After plugging in, booting, and waiting a good 15 minutes. I tried to enable wi-fi... and couldn't. I rebooted once more, and tried again with no luck. I left it alone then, and in the morning reached for it again, and was able to turn wi-fi on. I've toggled it of and on a few more times today without a problem.

p.s. My sister got the evo 4g around the same time I got the epic. We were always having a "my phone is better than yours" rivalry. She upgraded to the Evo 4g LTE.. which is sweet.. but my phone still holds its own. I can't justify upgrading (even though the note II is tempting), because I love how well my epic works. I've since been playing with her old evo and making into a little gaming device for her daughter. I was shocked that Sprint's 'flaghship' evo 4g hasn't seen any major CM developments. They abandoned development after CM7 I guess. Sad!

What I'm really trying to say is just another big THANKS to bbelos and everyone for keeping this great phone relevant and useful.
[Epic 4G Android Development] czechpunk:
^^^THIS!!! +100

I can say that I'm having the same issue; flashed stable build and WiFi worked initially, but then it randomly rebooted and now WiFi won't turn on...
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
The wifi in the stable build could still give some people problems. Have you tried the 11/14 nightly?
[Epic 4G Android Development] czechpunk:
I did but got that weird half-screen thing; I'll try it again and let you know how it works out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Yeah, from what I notice from the reports, the half screen thing goes away for most people after you reboot the first time. But this seems to be another weird bug that recently popped up that I can't personally reproduce :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] czechpunk:
I think Apro mentioned he had the half blank screen thing too; my only issue with 11/14 so far (in the last 30 minutes) I've had 3 reboots...

I just fixed permissions to see if that corrects it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Sent you a pm.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robrob:
I'm running 11/14 stock and everything is working with no issues for over 26 hours. WiFi has been used heavily with no reboots. GPS gets a quick lock, like I said, no issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bypod:
I have to update this now and feel silly. My wifi icon was displaying, and was active in the drawer, but I was not connected. Nor would tether activate. So, I got tricked! I'm installed 11/15 now. :silly:
[Epic 4G Android Development] TracerBullitt:
Yea, figured I'd just bring it up every OTHER post... :P
[Epic 4G Android Development] teco2010:
Guys, I want to go back cm9 as I'm having a number of issues with this official version 10. Do I need to odin back or can I restore from cwm?

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
You can safely restore a cm9 backup as long as the backup has less than 600MB in the data partition.
[Epic 4G Android Development] phirewire110:
So I wiped everything and installed stable build fresh.

Everything works fine.

Only had one random reboot but it wasn't a biggie.

Battery life seems alright.

I had to take a video of something and noticed it's still slow when ending the video.

Camera app locks up.

Anyone else have this issue?

Again, thank you devs for your dedication.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dante of the Inferno:
CM 10 stable seems to rewrite the phone's ability to connect to a computer to properly access the USB (shows the modem driver and USB driver as unusable). Bad download file? The micro SD card works fine if you pop it into an adapter and insert in directly into the computer. Should I consider trying a different card? Does the Epic support SDHC?

Android 4.2 migration fixes on 1116

What it does mean?;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shinydude100:
It means they've updated the CM Recovery with fixes in preparations to migrate to the new 4.2 Jellybean, I thought it was self-explanatory but then I remind myself that not everyone codes/is used to seeing commits from a source-code branch.
[Epic 4G Android Development] labumm:
CM10.0.0

I'm not getting a 3G icon in the status bar. Anyone else having this issue?

Also the. Lock/unlock does not seem to work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] czechpunk:
Nope, you might have a bad flash; flash the 11/14 nightly along with gapps and remember to wipe cache/dalvik.

Once it boots up fully, reboot to recovery and fix permissions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] fxacur:
I had the same problem with the Stable Build ....

My problem with this was solved after I disabled the Android debbuging option and rebooted the phone, you could try that...
[Epic 4G Android Development] pablomentabo:
No reboots for me since the 11/14 nightly.

Battery life is better then I've seen before.

Camera app only locks up for me if I select the funny face effect.

Normal video doesn't record. If I press record (on screen or hardware button) it just beeps twice & no video is recorded.

Regular camera & panoramas are working as expected.
[Epic 4G Android Development] labumm:
OK I figured out the problem. I had selected the 'text' signal strength status indicator. The 3G icon shares real estate with the phone signal strength icon, there is no real estate for the 3G in the text version.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DurhamHusker:
On 11/14 and looking pretty good. Had one reboot within the first hour, but since then have been running straight for more than 24 hours. Only other problem I'm currently seeing is that video playback stutters from time to time. This happens for me during playback of video recorded by the phone's camera as well as playback of videos streamed using the official Youtube app. Anyone else see this?

Other than than, I'm having fun with these latest CM10 builds. Wifi works. Tethering works. 4G works (albeit, throughput seems a bit slow). Camera works (still & video). GPS works. Haven't tried bluetooth yet.

For all those who have put their time into this project, I offer you my sincere thanks.

Overall Exynos3 (Hummingbird) optimization more likely than not. So may not be something we benefit from as it's merged into overall source. However I've not looked at the commit just checked really quick.

I am having a variation of the same USB connection problem. On my work computer which I rooted the phone from the USB has no problem recognizing for mass storage. At home, on a different computer, it does not recognize the mass storage option, it only charges the phone. Its almost as if the phone is synced to only work on the computer it was rooted from or the zip file came from? I dont know... I installed the samsung drivers on both computers but only the one I did the work on the phone from is reading the memory card. No other computer reads the SD card from the phone. This is on CM 10.0.0 stable.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MrWBucket:
Have you tried turning off Android debugging? My home PC doesn't seem to care if it's selected or not, by my work PC won't read the SD card if it's selected.

[Epic 4G Android Development] davidh59:
Mine have always worked, so I would guess you have a bad flash or download. Check the Md5 of the rom and reflash, For good measure I would reflash gapps and clear caches.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bypod:
Just wanted to chime in with an issue I saw today with Txt messaging. I'm on 11/15 nightly, which has been really stellar. I used my phone heavily all morning, lots of texting and etc. This evening I was watching a bad Arnold Schwartzen whatever movie and surfing on my laptop.. and although google voice was showing new incoming messages on my laptop, my phone was not. I use the stock text message app and GV integration on my phone. I rebooted, and all the texts I'd been getting all came at once and I haven't seen it again since.

Anyone else seen that happen?
[Epic 4G Android Development] seoulseek80:
I'm thinking of flashing stable but how has 11/17 been? Also which gapps are you guys using? The 7/26 or 10/11? Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] cathpah:
10/11 works well for me.

I haven't used 11/17 yet, but 11/14 is working pretty darn nicely.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Kkthnxbye:
11/17 is stable and im using the latest gapps, not random reboots or anything so far for 9+ hours.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Sounds like a network glitch to me. Everyone has odd lil things like that happen to them occasionally. Before you didn't have Google Voice to let you know there was a problem. Just my opinion though. (DIE SPRINT)
[Epic 4G Android Development] DJSmoove:
Yeah I had problems with my google voice delayed text messages and missed calls recently.

It's been reported to google about google voice new problems. The update of google voice that came out a few days ago that fixed the 4.2 jellybean bug has messed up google integration with sprint. I got a response back saying to revert back google voice version 0.4.2.54 til they come out with an updated fix.

Running 11/18 nightly. All seems well. Wi-Fi and 4G working fine. No video hickups.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chrishighs:
I am on nightly 11/14. I made the mistake of trying the CM updater to update to 11/18. It shows in the pull down bar that it is trying to download the image, and is constantly using 3g or wifi if on, but the image is not actually downloading. I cannot get it to stop trying to download the update image no matter what I do. I tried reflashing the 11/14 image from recovery without wiping as I am trying to avoid a full wipe and restore if I can. Any ideas or should I just start from scratch?

Thanks and sorry to clog the dev thread, but it is a bug as auto update is not working for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TaviRawr:
What was new on the 11/17, 11/18 nightly builds? People said there was a lot on the changelog so is there anything really different?

Is Wifi working properly on CM10? Wifi worked for a while, I was reinstalling apps, rebooted phone and now Wifi can't be turned on?!

---------- Post added at 10:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 PM ----------

Wifi is buggy like hell on the so-called stable release of CM10 released on 11/14. I have to reboot a few times, before my Wifi works. Then after a while, it just randomly stops working, and the cycle repeats itself. Is there any fix for this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shinydude100:
I've had no wifi issues, clean install
[Epic 4G Android Development] propjockey:
Ditto
[Epic 4G Android Development] hot304tee:
I'm going to have to agree with Shinydude100 I haven't had any problems with wifi at all. I did experience airplane mode just as most did but I haven't had any radio problems. Props to the CM Team and let the fune keep rolling.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
I don't want to be that dude but, observing your posts your initial flash over to CM10 took quite a bit longer than it normally should. So that's a factor, I'm sure, could be a bad flash but since I don't know the whole story I can discount the issues as they are real. The delay in devices(hardware booting up) is very much real and is being looked into, as a holiday is coming up things may not move as quickly as some would like but progress forward is at this point a goal.

I tried cm10 stable yesterday and had no wifi would not turn on at all said it was connecting but never did. Using 11/18 works great no issue after a day
[Epic 4G Android Development] bypod:
My boss offered to get me a GSII for Christmas. I turned him down. Was I wrong? I love my CM10 Epic. Love it. Unless maybe I can talk him into the Note II instead... hmmm.

Other than the random text message hiccup the other night (which probably was a GV issues), 11/15 has been the most stable for me. GPS connects so fast, no wifi or airplane mode issues and the battery has been really good. I usually install most nightlies, but I'm having a hard time switching now that it feels so good.
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
no you were not wrong.. if it was GSIII then my reply would be in all caps :P
[Epic 4G Android Development] rundmcarlson:
The epic is the original galaxy s for sprint, so the gs2 would have been an upgrade of sorts. It wouldn't be a noticeable change unless you had cm10 on the gs2 as well. Even then the hardware specs aren't much different. The biggest difference is in the ram, which would let you do more at a time without slowing the device down, but you can get the gs2 for free anywhere now with a 2 year upgrade. Like the previous poster I would have said turning it down would be a mistake if it were the gs3, but not the gs2. The note 2 however, is like going from a windows 98 pc to a current day macbook pro, so I would definitely recommend that if you can pull it off. If you do pull that off, tell me your secret so I can get one for myself lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Death259:
Agreed. Also, for those that want a GSIII, Sam's Club will be selling it for $0.96 (Link to black friday ads for GSIII) :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] bypod:
Geez... GSIII for that much? Now I'm tempted. If you see any amazeballs deals on the note II... share those.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Death259:
I doubt you will find the note II for any super crazy low price. It's too new for that. With some quick searching I didn't turn anything up.

My 3G is gone

So I kept my phone on WiFi for a while and took it off, only to not have 3G network anymore. I toggled airplane mode once in awhile, and 3G would come up, but only for a brief moment, before getting shut off and I get no internet service anymore. 4G works perfectly fine, and I know mobile data is on. Is anyone else experiencing this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] savior02:
Yep I had a similar issue today where I been using WiFi all day and then turned it off to use 3g cause I was outta range and I was getting constant low speeds with 1x fluctuating. I turned on airplane for a minute or two then back off then started getting 3g speeds. Running 11/17 build.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tbob18:
Just updated to the latest version. Loving the new capacitive key brightness settings - no more light! :good:
[Epic 4G Android Development] DurhamHusker:
Only once but not associated to wifi. I switched off 4G, rebooted (before 3G connected I'm pretty sure), then the 1x icon came up. After a few minutes I turned 4G back on, waited for a connection, turned 4G back off, and 3G icon came up then. Haven't had a problem since. It was odd, though.

---------- Post added at 10:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------

CM10 seems to be slow on the bandwidth side of things in general using 4G. I haven't found it to be associated with any app. I can get 10 to 12 Mbps down using FC09 TW ROMs, 6 to 8 Mbps down using CM9, but CM10 will only haul in 3 to 4 Mbps. Tethering on CM10 is pretty slow, I agree. But I haven't tried anything other than the stock function. I was just assuming that the experience was due to the reduced bandwidth nature of CM10, overall since CM10's 4G is so much slower than TW or even CM9.
[Epic 4G Android Development] teco2010:
On CM10, how do I get to that phone program mode that on stock we use ##number#.

I cannot make or receive calls thanks to a Sprint Rep.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DurhamHusker:
One more thing I'm seeing. And I've seen this across multiple versions of CM10 AND CM9. I sync multiple calendars from my Google account to this phone. I have popup reminders set for many of the calendar items in those various calendars. Once in a while, the calendar will fail to kick off a notification for a calendar event.

I have experienced this now with all the latest versions of CM9 and CM10. Has anyone else experienced failed calendar notifications?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JonMayer:
That happened to me as well. I pulled the battery and rebooted to recovery and reflashed, everything was fine. What I discovered is that it updated my recovery to the latest clockwork. I'm thinking that's where it got stuck for some reason when it rebooted to partition.

lock screen behavior

CM 10.0.0 stable

I'm finding that if I unlock the phone with the widget buttons, the phone will relock if I open an app from the pull down noticifation menu (email, cpu tuner, weather bug, etc). I hear the lock/unlock sound as the app opens and again on closing the app. However the phone is left in the locked state, while the widget still shows unlocked. Toggling the widget to lock and back to unlock unlocks the phone. If I open apps from the home screens, the phone remains unlocked.

Any one else seeing this behavior?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bypod:
I think you have to use the FC09 multiboot to get your phone programmed, update PRL, and whatever. From recovery, you temporarily boot into a stock fc09 environment where you can do all that.

[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
You mean a Sprint rep who didn't know you were on a non-standard rom? And he didn't know because you didn't want to tell him? Not that it would matter if you did - Sprint only supports the stock rom, so he wouldn't be trained in an unsupported custom rom anyway...

Blame where blame is due, my friend - you accepted the responsibility for your own tech support when you installed a rom that Sprint customer support doesn't... well, support ;)
