Does anybody use handcent? When sending a msg over 160 characters my texts get all messed up and the recipient just gets a msg starting with an @ then a bunch of characters. something like : "@ * / 3....." and so on.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dohturdima:
This is a known issue with CDMA/CM10. Does Handcent have a setting that would automatically split messages when the character limit is reached? I use ChompSMS and it has the option to split messages.

You guys rock!

My girl has been complaining about her phone running slow, freezing and horrible battery life so I decided to just flash this on her phone. She's currently passed out now, hopefully she doesn't mind :P

Her phone was on 2.3.6 FC09. I used odin to flash [RECOVERY] ClockworkMod 5.0.2.7 BML Officially supported by ROM Manager for Epic 4G. Rebooted into CWM and flashed the latest nightly. Flash went great and now its running CM10!

I read in this thread that this requires the FC09 modem, and since it was stock with FC09 rom, I didn't flash anything else. Currently the baseband reads: S:D700.0.5S.FC09.

Now my question is, am I missing anything or is she good to go? I ask because I'm not familiar with this device and just want to know if I overlooked anything.

--update---

I just rebooted into recovery (forgot to flash gapps) and noticed flashing the nightly has updated the recovery to CWM v6.0.1.5
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Ah the hysterical irony if you brick her phone!

---------- Post added at 06:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 AM ----------

This is a good question. I'd like to change it a bit to fit me better. Does the stock MMS autosplit by default? I see no option to change it. I don't want to ask people of they got my whole message.

Cyandelta is awesome

I'm update from 1018 to 1023 just 13 mb !! :D

Information of cyandelta is on app section ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Doesn't it screw you for support here if there's a problem? I mean I know you can just factory reset and start over, but I can see that app being death for a n00b. (not implying anything here hehe)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dropple:
I didn't factory reset, because I flashed it manually

This app is an alternative, for who have low speed connextion (like me :))
[Epic 4G Android Development] fone_fanatic:
I just noticed something.

I'm trying to download an apk off xda and it just won't complete. I've tried via browser and chrome.

It shows the download arrow in the notification bar, open up notifications and it shows the name as with the blue line animation moving along but no progress. Tap it and it opens up downloads and it's switching between "In progress" and "Unsuccessful". I've rebooted and still same thing.

Can anyone confirm download issues or is this just me?

Yeah, that would of been pretty bad :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] dohturdima:
Both touchkey and vibration control settings work well for me. I especially like option of adjusting touchkey brightness, which IMO are too bright by default and the mod works great for this. Will both of these features be implemented in official nightlys? Reason I am asking is that I run SimplyCM kernel for VoodooSound which uses official CM kernel as a template, and right now when flashed breaks these features.

Have any linux users tried usb tether? I went back to the included kernel and an epic modem to troubleshoot it because it turns off immediately, and the problem persists. I'm trying to figure out if it's just my phone or not before I do a clean reflash
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Does look like an issue. Have been meaning to test usb tether for a few days now, just kept getting sidetracked. Thanks for reporting, will look into it.

for usb mass storage issue

device manager

right click "samsung android usb modem"

Click "Update Driver".

check "Install from a list or specific location"

Click "Next"

check "Don't search. I will choose the driver to install"

check usb mass storage device

click next

click finish

then i'll be ok.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tbob18:
No problems yet. Signal is a little better, on FC09 I had between -91db and -96db at home, now it ranges between -83db and -91db. 3G data speeds went from ~1100kbps average to ~1500kbps (averaged over 10 tests each).

On crespo modem. My WiFi speeds are down drastically. In the latest kang v and crespo, I was getting 20+ meg, now I'm getting 1-2.

Any ideas? 3G is loads faster still.

It's not my router, my touchpad just clocked in a 40 meg speed test.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rprockey:
I'm running the NS4G modem on this ROM and it runs well. Hard to say it it's better, I've been on WiFi for most the holiday weekend.

I will say that with this singular pre-release, it's pretty easy to patch compatibility for the NS4G modem, but once we get to nightlies, it may not be so easy to maintain that compatibility. Someone smarter than me should say, but I anticipate that whenever the kernel updates in this ROM, the compatibility patches will have to be updated as well. Under that assumption, if you're planning to keep up with the nightlies, you may want to stick with the suggested FC09 modem.

It also seems likely that the Epic CM team may build in compatibility for the NS4G modem, but that's their move to make.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Can't be modem. Wifi doesn't control modem. Even if you have no modem, wifi can still work. They did switch the wifi driver though in the kernel and system with the 3.x kernel.

Voodoo Sound? :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] TracerBullitt:
On top of the headphones during phone calls (which I know is a known known), had jb camera ever been able to mute the shutter sound and/or offer other settings than what are given now?

I could use another camera apk, but I'd rather not. I try to limit add-ons and jbcamera+ caused some issues with my gallery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Yes, the goal is to merge the patches into the official nightly builds, but I just wanted to get some extra testing from you guys first to make sure they don't break anything. :) I still have a few things to iron out before they are merged though so it won't be right away.

MMS worked for me on 10/22. I didn't work for me on 10/18, but i dirty flashed 10/22 last night and mms works (over wifi at least). The grey box did appear asking me to download though.

[Epic 4G Android Development] lost_:
Vibe strength and Touchkey brightness settings work great. Would love to set it somewhere between 25 & 50% to hit that sweet spot, but that's just nitpicking.

On an unrelated feature, is there a setting to unlock the screen automatically when keyboard slides open, just like in TW?
[Epic 4G Android Development] I Brick Phones:
+1 seem like the fix for this is working... now if only we could fix the extra battery drain that happens when leaving 4G on all the time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DurhamHusker:
Hotspot and 4G works with screen off. I did get a reboot after about 15 to 20 minutes, though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Well, i only did limited testing of the values, but you have the ability to try different numbers to see how it looks. Feel free to experiment and give me some suggestions.

from a terminal (app or adb shell), you can control the value by changing /sys/devices/virtual/sec/t_key/touchleds_voltage

as root:

# cd /sys/devices/virtual/sec/t_key

# echo XXXX > touchleds_voltage

Currently you can input values (XXXX) between 2200000 and 3000000.

Current settings:

100% = 3000000

75% = 2800000

50% = 2600000

25% = 2500000

Off = 2400000

I already plan to lower the Off value, since you can still see the lights under very low light conditions. Also, there is not much drop from 100 to 75%, so I might lower the 75% value. It would also be easy for me to add more division if needed (80, 60, 40, 20, off).

This has not been ported over from CM9 yet. I'll add it to my TODO list.

or something hardware burned on my phone? i have tried 2 usb cable already that use to work with

[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
did you try removing it and putting it back on after a restart? I mean it could be a hardware thing in either device, but I'm more inclined to think a nightly (or even a windows update) screwed the pooch. Flash an older nightly you know worked? What would be even BETTER would be if you had something running Linux to try it on.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dharkness:
i did remove and restart, windows update is not on i have a bootleg version ^_^ . i flashed the latest and it did not work, odin cant even detect it =( ill try an older nightly. I dont have a *nix box handy. i might have to put one on a usb and go from there.

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------

i flashed an older one , it did not work =(
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Great idea! Boot your windows machine into a live session and see if you can recognize it that way! If you can, hardware issues eliminated.

How did you get the older one onto the phone? Have you removed the micro sd and seen if the computer would even recognize the sd?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dharkness:
i have a folder of different roms in the micro sd. i would try a different rom , but odin does not recognize it. not sure if a *nix will work either. brb

[Epic 4G Android Development] racosta201045:
I've been using the usb drive to transfer files music etc and I noticed on two different occasions when the upload speeds change depending on the nightly rom. I'm not saying it's a problem just a observation. I seen it on the 10-17 / 10-18 flash and the 10-22/10-23 also. Now I get about 5 to 7 mg a sec before they were around 865 kb and 1mg. Again just something to think on
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
I have never broken 2 mb/s with any build. If I pop the micro sd out and run it like that I can get almost 10. All of the CM's have had the same problem. CM7 was the worst sometimes I would get like 400 kb/s. What puzzles me is my laptop transfers consistently faster by almost half a meg than my desktop does despite desktop specing out 2x higher.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rundmcarlson:
I wouldn't bother with booting up linux. My brother has a stock epic and this just happened to him. I run ubuntu on my desktop (brand new) and his isnt recognized while mine is. We think its because he charges in a car dock a lot and the charger hangs down and pulls on the port. It was definitely a hardware problem for him. Airdroid is where we went though, and it seems to work great. Android sync wifi is a good one I used in the past too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
I guess it's not an OEM dock? Mine exerts no pressure on my port. Poster didn't make me aware of anything amiss in his environment like that. Mine did become unrecognizable for no apparent reason like 2 weeks ago. I suggested Linux just to remove the Windows variable.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pablomentabo:
Ok, just went to 20121022 Nightly and same issue. Only this time it wasn't OTA through the update. I downloaded the Nightly and updated through CM. Is the only thing left to get my audio working in the dock a full wipe when I update next time? It just seems strange that this all started with the nightly that added the option for dock audio
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Is that to say you did not copy the zip to your micro sd and flash it that way? As far as the audio bypass goes, there's and app for it, but you really shouldn't need it.If you are flashing the right way, it should work by default. I had it working on CM9 before I got my BT receiver. However since this is CM10, let's look around. How many other people have posted a similar problem to yours? None that I have seen, and I follow this thread closely. Therefore, we need not look past A) your hardware B) your flashing procedure. One of those two things is not right. I'm not attacking you, I don't know you, but almost without exception, this is human error. I could be wrong. You could BE that one person in 200 that has a legitimate hardware issue. What you are describing is flashing in a way I am not familiar/ comfortable with. I get that you're not updating through OTA, but even the CM updater option leaves open a potential failure. Humor me and do it the old fashioned way, and let's see where we end up. One more silly question: You have gone to menu/ system settings/advanced tabbed over to dock and clicked enable passive usb audio, right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikeyscislo:
Can I just flash from AOKP MS6 with teamwin recovery 2.2.1? I'm slightly confused if it's verified safe. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pablomentabo:
I didn't take offense and sorry if I didn't explain it too well. I did flash it by copying the zip to the micro sd card and flashed from it. I didn't wipe anything and the only thing prior to flashing it with the zip that I did in clockwork was to backup my ROM. I doubt it's hardware as what I did notice this past week was that I received a call that I had on speaker while it was docked in the car and I happened to have maps running while I was driving and that was the only time maps did speak through the phone speaker ( albeit over the person that I was talking on the phone with ;) )

For my last flash though to explain my exact procedure:

1 - On PC downloaded cm-10-20121023-NIGHTLY-epicmtd

2 - Used Total Commander to copy download to SD Card

3 - Backed up apps/etc through Titanium

4 - Rebooted into Clockwork

5 - Backed up current CM10 Nightly (I believe it was from 10/18)

6 - Chose install zip from SD Card / Choose zip from SD Card / chose 10/23/12 nightly and let it run through the paces

After this I verified I didn't need to re-freeze any useless apps (none that had to do with gps or maps are frozen of course) and that my AntiTheft from Avast is still configured. Drove home from Cousins Subs while phone was docked and told it to guide me home. When it picked up location and started to give directions there was no voice coming out of the speaker. When I stopped the car I went into settings and checked "enable passive usb audio." Went back into maps, told it to route me to Walmart and when it picked up my location it again did not come out of the speaker of the phone as I'm used to it doing prior to this option being added.

Only way I see I can get it to come out of the speaker in the past week is what I described above or to keep it in the dock but not plugged into it. If I need to wipe it I will probably this weekend as I have no issue starting fresh if needed but wanted to rule out anything else I can do. By the way, AuGmENTor, you have been a great help in responding to me and having me try things so I never took offense like I said
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Ug that sucks. Sorry man, but I have no idea what the problem could be! Hope someone with a better brain happens by! Near as I can tell, you're doing it right.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pablomentabo:
Thanks for trying to help out on it. Been racking my brain anytime I decide to get down to figuring it out and may just wipe and start with whatever nightly is out at the time I decide to dedicate time to do all that. Hopefully someone does correct something I did or one of the Devs happen to notice something wrong and correct it but I'm not holding out for the later option. No offense to the Devs but since I'm the only one whining about it I doubt it'll get too much attention.

One more thing I found (which I really don't care if it's fixed or not) is that in the camera app if I choose a Silly Face effect when recording a video then the camera app locks up and it never records any video - stops at 0 seconds frozen (though it does create a video file that doesn't playback anything). All other aspects of the camera seem to work except for this. They were working in CM9 but haven't seen them work for some time in CM10

Maybe this is too obvious, but you didn't mention wiping cache and dalvik after flashing.....that's a necessity.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rundmcarlson:
Second this. If you ever have problems with a flash over like that, you should wipe and reflash. Check your download too, if you have an unreliable internet connection you could just have a corrupt zip. I have had it happen a time or two. The file looked fine, and flashed fine, but when I tried to use it, stuff was broken. Downloading a new copy and reflashing it has done the trick each time.

Nah its not the dock, he has a dock that doesn't include the charger, just leaves the top of his phone open to accept the standard charger. The charging cable is the same one the phone comes with but the weight of the wire while his phone is lying landscape is pulling on the port constantly and over time probably broke it. I only assume this because any type of cyclic loading causes fatigue and that is technically cyclic loading.

if it worked before on his windows machine and doesn't work now, it is likely not a windows issue since he has updates disabled. Since I had seen this as a hardware problem only a few months ago, I was just trying to save him the time of writing a boot disk and loading up linux just to test it.
