I got that a few times this weekend and I thought I was brushing against the menu button with my finger. I rebooted the phone and the problem seems to have abated. YMMV. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LaoArchAngel:
Actually, it's a combination of both a software and hardware problem. I don't know at what point it started on my phone (I bought at release), but the menu would keep popping.

There is a pattern. This will generally only happen when you're on 3G data and you have about 2 or fewer bars of data service (depending on your icon). It does not occur when using 4G or wifi, if memory serves correctly.

If this is happening to you, then after a certain kernel or modem (source is currently unknown) your phone will continue to pop the menu during low service, regardless of your rom. If you flash back to stock, you'll be fine for a day or so, or less, but the issue will resurface.

The only known way of really getting rid of the problem is going to sprint and replacing it as a defective phone. I replaced mine and the bug disappeared. Same rom, same sd card, everything.

Unless the issue you're having is new and completely unrelated. In that case, sorry for wasting your time :P.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mavenmaven:


Same here. Beta 1 is my daily driver and Im very "sastified." Great battery life has been an added bonus.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darklavalizard:
Hmm, now that you mention it I too notice it when I'm in a lower service area, and I never have the problem when I'm connected to wifi. However, on Gingerbread I never ever had this problem, and I have gone back to it a couple times from ICS. I seem to only have it with CM9, no other ROMs. I wonder if it has something to do with which overall firmware version is on your phone? As in if you flash a .tar file of say EL29, then from there flash ICS ROMs and whatnot, maybe that would trigger or not trigger it compared to flashing a .tar of FF18. When you flash a .zip you are changing the ROM and kernel, but when you flash a .tar aren't you actually changing some firmware on the phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LaoArchAngel:
As to that, I cannot say. However, I'm fairly certain it happened to me even after I reverted to stock w/ root. The only other thing that I can think of is that I used a usb jig to reset my counter and remove the yellow triangle. Apart from that, I can't think that there's anything I've done differently compared to anyone else.

Anyway, there are a few topics around dedicated to this issues, and I do believe it spans different rims and firmwares. I'll have to re-investigate to be sure, though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
Hi, I'm thinking about coming back to this tonight. Just to confirm, do we consider Beta 1 to still be the most stable or is there a nightly that is even more stable? I'm looking for complete functionality.

Thanks gang!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Toleraen:
It's gotta be somewhere in hardware for sure. This didn't start popping up for me until I got a warranty replacement phone, flashed EL29, and nandroided my backup from my old phone over to the new one (I think I was on a calk ICS build at the time). Never had it on my old phone, even with the same software.

That said, agreed that it only occurs when in low cell signal area. I haven't noticed it when I've been connected to wifi while in low signal...wondering if it's something to do with poor handoff between wifi and cell data connections ("Cell doesn't work, lets try wifi...wifi doesn't work, lets try cell")

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jefbal99:
I don't use an sdcard, just the internal storage. Everything was on /SDcard, but the kernel wasn't mounting that properly as external_sd. Some apps would read /sdcard, but most didn't.

hey thanks for the heads-up - will do. too bad the native mobile hotspot works only under 3g and not when 4g is on.

beta 1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thedarksavant:
... especially your battery. :)

Edit: I know, don't feed the trolls. Anyway, I'm following the CM10 and AOSP JB threads pretty closely and when I don't have to disable pretty much everything that makes the phone worth having to get 10 hours off of a charge, I'll consider it. Oh, and when wifi doesn't drop. And the camcorder works. And Youtube isn't saturated. Those devs are working hard, but it's still not a DD.

Edit2: Off Topic, I wish the moderators would move the CM10 thread to Original Development. Please either recombine the threads or finish the split.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
the older builds are definetly DD worthy. ParanoidAndroid 2.16, CM10 a5.3, nightly 10/7, and a couple other nightlies, as well as AOKP build 4 all lack the youtube/camcorder/wifi bugs.

The only definite bugs (as in not caused by user settings) are the GPS error present in all aosp 4.0+, and a low headphone audio bug present on all AOSP 4.1+ (i believe there is a possible fix, but it broke some other things. not sure where it is at any rate)

I use PA 2.16 as my DD, and have no issues. Battery is not as good as on ICS, but that is due to the kernel (which is being worked on). I'm willing to bring an extra charger with me to have the new features in jellybean. Even my fiance (who has no clue about rooting and wants her phone to just work) is happy on the 10/7 nightly of CM10.

Flash before you judge IMO.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
Updated JB builds are very solid..

SlickRick & kBizzle have posted updates that are dd worthy

To be fair, I have not retried CM10 in 4 weeks but it was horrible back then. I loved the hybrid rom though.

---------- Post added at 09:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ----------

I get great battery with cm9. Its on par with GB.... CM10 used 3x the battery as CM9 when i tried it for a few weeks. i had to flash back to CM9. I'll give it another shot but we'll see... I need it to be at least close to CM9 or its a no go for me. JB just doesn't bring enough butter for me to sacrifice battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SASQUATCH:
Hybrid ROM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
For sure, I'm not saying that its as good as possible, JB builds are still being developed just as ICS was when we were using leaked builds with an altered kernel, so you're right, the ICS builds now are very solid compared to GB, they are both very good on battery.

But I have managed to regulate my battery usage well enough to use JB as a DD without sacrificing any functionality.. of course I need to keep my power cord with me at all times jic, but all good..

There are only 2 things I really do miss on JB-AoSP based is a working compass, and the video out to TV function.. but other than that, everything else is working now

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dudebowski:
hopefully bad battery life on CM10 claims should begin to die off. I just pulled a 28 hour span on 'project silk', beginning to rival what we were seeing on the CM9 beta builds.

notification LED /GPS/ 4g off

,gTalk signed out,

wifi off at screen off

, auto backlight

, fine-tuned minimalist google sync config.

I also turn off all of Gmaps startup services off, seems to be a rampant offender of involuntary background process use, particularly network.

This app has solid instructions and method to get your batterystats.bin properly rewritten:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDMsImNvbS5uZW1hLmJhdHRlcnljYWxpYnJhdGlvbiJd

.... to speed up the battery burnout process for calibration, turn on torch, stream internet video/radio at high volume, backlight 100%, and run Quadrant benchmark over and over, and/or run setCPU's stress test. I burned through a full battery in less than an hour. Obviously this is putting massive strain on your device, so YMMV, {{insert disclaimer}}

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IamFlynn:
YES.... EL26 is the safest NON-brick kernel to use. Although EL29 does work too you would have to use the directboot kernel if you wanted to.

Either way your gonna have to flash el29 direct boot kernel or el26..

So what's this about GPS fix?

Force fed a failcake via Swype
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thedarksavant:
Some folks have borked GPS when flashing CM9. Usually temp booting a stock rom, getting a gps lock, then flashing CM9 fixes it.

If your GPS locks, you don't have to worry about it.

Beta 1 is a full from. Includes everything but gapps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
The file posted by elzero is a kernel only, which contains cwm 5.

you will flash cm9 and do all necessary wipes from this recovery. This recovery is also kexec enabled, which allows use of the el29 tempboot (used for gps fix, profile/prl update, dialer codes, etc)

**NOTE that your phone will not boot system with the directboot kernel. It will ONLY boot to recovery. You must flash a rom and gapps in order to reboot properly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moparfreak426:

Flashing a recovery does not change any network settings on your phone.

Wiping data shouldn't do anything to affect your radio. The cwm5 directboot kernel allows you to safely wipe and flash without the risk of the emmc brick bug caused by the initial ICS kernel.

I'm getting almost 20 hours battery life with moderate/heavy use, haven't seen that since GB and certainly didn't see that on the official sprint ICS update.
