Modem: the driver that allows the digital software on our phone to use the analog radio

preferred roaming list PRL: A list of towers your phone is authorized to connect to

(data) profile: probably user authentication for data connecctivity on those towers, haven't figured out exactly what this is yet.

PRL and profile only truly get updated when a new one is available. pretty sure the latest one is 40450. the profile should be updated every time the PRL is actually updated by sprint.

updating these to the latest is helpful, for the most part. Sometimes The new modem isn't very good, which is to be expected when you consider we're getting those updates leaked from Samsung... they're essentially betas.

Sometimes the PRL/Profile update isn't exactly the best either depending on the service in your particular area. There's a thread somewhere in this forum with a list of other profiles you can try out and see if you get better service, i.e. better connection in low-signal areas, higher data speeds, etc.

The Radio Interface Layer affects anything that has to do with the system using the radio, so yes. 4g.

titanium not working

Is anyone able to get Titanium Backup to work? I get an error saying "the current backup location cannot be accessed." It's weird because if I try to change the backup location, it'll detect all of the apps/data I've backed up, but it still won't work properly.

I have never received this error until flashing this ROM

EDIT: Nevermind, I uninstalled then reinstalled the app, and now it seems to work. Strange..

When I go to Root Explorer and tap sdcard folder (my understanding is that this is now supposed to be internal storage yes?!) and it says its not SDcard is not mounted which I don't understand because Appbak found the backup file which is stored on internal.

For those of you that are still having battery drainage problems, I've talked about an app named Juice Defender before. I'm not the creator or a spokesman for the app (even though it may seem like it lol), but this app works wonders for your battery problems. Below are screenies of my usage from the time I took my phone off charge before leaving for work, until now. It comes in a paid and free version. The paid version gives you deeper control, but the free version works just as good. Maybe this will solve some of you guys battery issues.

Remote Wipe by USSD

Looks like according to this article, it's not JUST a TW problem:

http://lifehacker.com/5946919/check-if-your-android-device-is-vulnerable-to-the-remote-wipe-hack

I tried it on my CM Beta 1 and it popped up the MEID dialog, but it was blank. Does this mean we are vulnerable?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] glmooreky:
Look like i just inadvertently found the answer to some apps no recognizing the licensing on my device because it can't see the MEID. You think if I:

1. Temp boot to EL29.

2. Use Terminal Emulator to get my MEID.

3. Flash back over to Beta1 and enter the MEID

That will possibly solve that problem. I'm grasping at straws here though lol.

I see nivron and a nivron test kernel, what's the skinny?

Edit in: I flashed the Nivron Rom and I'm working. The baseband is good, connectivity is there. Still can't access my EMMC storage. The SDcard mount tells me no card inserted and the External_sd folder is empty. I have tried both storage configurations listed in the Advanced options screen. 4G still is FCing.

Flashed the Nivron test kernel and there are demons there. Back to the unknown baseband, lots of Android Media FCs.

Returning to my Nandroid of just Nivron
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DCHFoundations:
I just loaded the Nivron overtop of the WhoCares version (which I see is no longer available).

So far, things seem to be all in working order where I was getting random reboots with WhoCares while running Power Amp. While I haven't had enough time with Nivron, things are running pretty smooth with no tweaks or Placebo in place. I don't have Sprint service so I can't test phone/4G but the system itself is smooth with no FC's or reboots yet.

This is using the 41g-ATB kernel and FF18 modem, Pegasusq governor and max CPU set to 1000.

Gorgeous battery life from what I've seen, but then again I haven't fully put it through the paces and don't use the cell radio.

Currently on cm10 and thinking of coming back to cm9, but an older build due to the 4g speed issues.

Is there a 4g fix in any of the nightlies? If not, any of the devs know if one is coming?

Been running the Beta1 since it was released without too much issue. Today I got a few force closes from facebook, then gapps, then nothing would work. Rebooted phone and it was stuck on the Cyanogenmod boot screen which I believe means its stuck in a boot loop.

I tried clearing cache and dalvik, reflashed mod and gapps but still stuck. I have to wait till I get home from work to ODIN but does anyone concur that's the next step?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
I agree about using Odin. That is extremely weird.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Wait so your wifi issues started only after flashing the FI25 modem? That's weird, as I thought the modem file had nothing to do with wifi and only controls the cellular radios.

Yeah 4G speeds are still an issue even with FI03. There's only one person who continually states FI03 modem fixes the issue... on every thread regarding poor 4g. It is a KERNEL issue NOT a modem issue.

This is why all tw/stock ics roms running stock kernel have 4g at 10/15 mb/s and custom ics roms do not atm.

I can flash back to prior modems and demonstrate slow speeds then I can reflash FI03 and and see great speeds without changing the kernel/rom.

don't get me wrong, its mot as good as stock but I get 8-10mb down..,

As for the poster above me...I checked your link and I apologize I only found you and revamper saying the modem "fixed" it. Most everyone else followed your "fix" and it failed. Then have the nerve to tell them it's the 4g in their area!?

So out of the thousands of people having the throttling/capping issue coded in the KERNEL, your minor team of a handful at best is telling everyone that flashing a newer modem is the solution and when it still doesn't fix it...it must be their 4g coverage? SERIOUSLY?

Fourth, I didn't say anything about someone's 4g coverage. So stop putting words in my mouth.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Alright this is killing me.

Something in my installed apps or in my settings is making it so none of my apps are syncing and providing notifications except phone, sms and play store (update notifications). I thought it was a CM9 problem exclusively because it started on this ROM, but I tried out re-calked last night and it was still present (I deliberately did a blind "restore all" in TB, full wipe before all ROM installations). I've checked all the obvious culprits like individual app settings for sync as well as ROM settings and sync and notifications are enabled everywhere. I am not running any task killer apps or battery saver programs, with the exception of Go Task Manager and Better Battery Stats, neither of which I believe do anything but monitor behavior.

I've posted about this before but no one has been able to help. Please, please, please, if you have any idea what might be causing this, let me know...I really don't want to have to set up all my apps and settings from scratch, especially if I end up redoing whatever it is that is causing the problem. I've reinstalled beta 1 and several other nightlies from scratch (full wipe, cache, dalvik) several times and tried selectively restoring apps as well as installing select apps from market and I still end up with this problem.

So....halp?
