I remember seeing something in early nightlies about them randomizing MACs but I thought that was addressed. I do not see randomizing of my MAC address. It is consistent. I just checked my router logs. Same MAC, same DHCP address (it would be different if the MAC changed).

---------- Post added at 10:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------

BTW, MAC filtering does nothing for security. It just makes it harder for you to manage. It is so simple to spoof a MAC and it is so simple to capture a MAC of a computer connecting to an AP.... I digress. :)

You way want to make sure you PRL (so you connect to most recent towers) and your profile is updated as well after flashing the modem. You can do that with the tempboot here (EL29 tempboot version works if you follow the directions):

Go to Google 2 factor on the computer and generate/print your list of backup codes. Infinitely valuable when messing with ROMs and keeping 2 factor Auth with Google. Don't forget that each code can be used only once and every list you generate invalidates the previous list of codes.

I'm in a somewhat similar situation. My phone will just shut off in a few scenarios, but usually involving heavy usage (streaming video, screen on for more than 5-10 minutes, stuff like that). Then it just turns off; when I turn it back on it will think the battery is at 0-5%.

I noticed today that my battery is kind of warped so I've ordered a new one. I am hoping its a defective battery, as opposed to the ROM just killing my phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gg_99:
That's an interesting thought. My reluctance in using those codes, though, is burning through them and the need to generate new ones with some regularity (I keep my backup codes safely stashed in a couple of locations so would need to manage that). Again, it's not impossible, just a pain. But, I did know two factor auth could occasionally be a nuisance. That said, I do highly recommend it for anyone considering it. Had a family member's email account hacked and cleaning up that mess was a painful experience.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dansidebottom:
Yeah, the whole Mat Honan thing made me turn it on. Had Google and BofA lock my accounts before die to someone trying to get in and ever since I've upped my game as much as I know how. Until I read his story on wired I didn't even know 2 factor existed for Google.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aleph23:
I'm not sure how it would effect your authentication but I can tell you that one you install the temp boot Rom, the installation sticks.

As in, you only have to set up accounts once. All apps and all accounts you install on temp boot are there the next time you boot into it, so it may be a non issue once you get it configured the first time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] glmooreky:
Installed as directed but error still remains. Screenshot posted. It's as if the app can't find the login info that was previously saved in the other ROMs, or just simply can'y find the phone's info. IDK. But my wife is mad at me for upgrading the old 08/01 source ROM to Beta1 lol.

Hmm, I've only had beta 1 on my phone for a day so far, didn't correct the data connection bug, or LOS, whatever it is.

I can't do without data even when connectivity is sporadic, but if you can turn ap mode on when in low signal areas. Use long press back button to kill Facebook when exiting so it shuts down instead of just going to the background. Lots of things you can do if you are willing to spend the time doing them.

Next time reboot your phone as soon as you see deleted wake locks. It kept you phone awake for no reason.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dansidebottom:
Yeah, I've been using since my HTC hero, which wasn't really fast enough for swype... I still can't do swype all that well, doesn't seem to be within the capabilities of my brain to get good at that method. Only problem I have with Swiftkey is that every time I do a clean install it gets reset... On my hero I barely had to try any more but now I'm proofreading on my work email so I don't make a fool of myself :) i guess once they get to rc status the changes wont be so major as to require a full wipe so often.

Crap, there goes the second issue i have with SwiftKey... Every now and again it stops making suggestions and doesn't auto correct... Just happened and I closed the keyboard by swiping down and opening it back up... Finished this post with suggestions working again. Probably a minor bug with Swiftkey, wouldn't think that it's rom related.

Full disclosure, I'm on cm10 right now, following both threads but only recently switched over to jb.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
deleted wakelocks are nothing to be concerned about. all it means is that there were some wake locks but since you toggled off that device, it doesn't know what they are... for example you could have some wifi wakelocks but if you turned off wifi then checked the stats some types can show "deleted". no need to reboot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jimbobtexas:
Here's an issue that's been bugging me forever on this phone/ROM: I turn on WiFi when I get home, keep it there. I use RunKeeper to track my running activities on the phone, and it uses GPS. If I switch off WiFi, then turn on GPS, it will not lock. Period. No satellites. I have to reboot the phone, then I get an almost-instant lock on GPS. However, if I don't run that morning, and put the phone in my car dock, GPS still locks after switching off WiFi. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? I've speculated several times that the GPS in these phones is somehow sensitive to power levels, but that idea hasn't gotten traction.

Anyone else? I'd be happy if anyone else could confirm just that primary issue...

I have been on this ROM for a week now and it has been a great experience. GPS lock, deep sleep, 3G and WiFi all work great.

Started with the El26 kernel full wipe and worked my way up to beta 1 with a brief stop at alpha 6 just to make sure everything was copacetic. Really a nice job on this program Chris41G!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] langdoy:
I'm on jellybean CM10 also. Haven't looked back since jumping over. Honestly, both have their set of issues and random reboots and freezes so one is not better than the other. Figured I'd stick with the most updated and continue with CM10. In fact, I actually get better battery life with CM10 than I did with CM9 and nightlies. So I'm pretty much staying on CM10 solely for the better battery and since I was getting random reboots on CM9 (but probably because I didn't do a clean install).

I also started to use SwiftKey since swype really doesn't seem to be much faster. Each keyboard takes practice. I haven't had any issues with it on CM10.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Yeah it keeps your phone from going into deep sleep for 3-4 hours and one shouldn't worry about it? Please.. reboot gets rid if them and the phone can deep sleep.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GiantJay:
I usually use my Nexus 7 to type and view the forums that's why I mentioned the jelly bean keyboard. My phone is on cm9 beta 1 and had SwiftKey before I downloaded it to my Nexus, and it seems to work great on both. I like Swype but not on a tablet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] langdoy:
Yep, moderate use on both..CM9 would give me about 5-6 hours charging my phone at work, in the car, watching TV, and before I sleep. I'm easily getting around 10 on CM10 and I now only charge 1 additional time during the day.

calisro...not sure when you tried, but I only recently tried with alpha 5.3. I didn't try any of the versions prior. Granted there are some weird bugs, but I'm living with it. Like Apollo BT doesn't work with my Mazda3 and the volume with headphones stays the same from 40-100% settings.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zx3junglist:
It's not without its quirks, but good enough to be a daily driver. I still get LOS once every great while, and the volume thing isn't the most fun. But, I'm loving the new google voice search, the notifications, and the sms popup. I want to switch to something more stable but can't bring myself to do it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Silentknyght:
I moved to the Beta build (not a nightly; the one listed/linked on Page 1 of this thread). I came from Chris41g's "UsualSuspects" pre-beta nightly. The phone is regrettably less reliable for me, now, with few apparent benefits. Mostly, I suffer from regular LOS and incoming calls often won't cause my phone to ring until the 3rd or 4th ring... which means I miss a LOT of calls now.

I did wipe data/cache/dalvik prior to installing the beta build. GPS, data, and wifi work, but the LOS & missed call stuff is awfully annoying to deal with.

Is there a nightly beta build which has fixed these issues?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
phone not ringing till 3-4 ring is a slot cycle index issue.. not the rom or modem. its enforced at the towers but you can adjust it and it will help on some towers.
