How are people fairing with the no data setup, any issues?

Pete
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Put it this way: I'm confident enough on this release and the NODATA stability that I've pushed it onto 3 noob phones - One had FH23 modem/kernel and FF18 ROM, one straight FF18, one straight FH13.

I still continue to have wi-fi acting up between ICS updates, so I flashed the full version and installed apps again. 30 minutes of reinstalling apps and data by TB to save myself days of headaches for not doing it now. Full signal strength with no issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Buildncastles:
Followed this post using mobile odin -nodata and I have no issues. Coming from FF18, I finally have my 4G speeds back! You guys are great!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scott500:
Flashed the full restore/wipe ver from a stock (rooted) FF18. Running all day like a champ. No issues.

Thank you very much for your hard work ~!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garbonzo134:
Flashed sbrissen's AOSPa5 over the no data, and I no longer have crap 4g...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Buildncastles:
As for the wi-fi acting up, I noticed something called "Connections Optimizer" popping up really quickly. I found the location: settings - "more" wireless and network settings - mobile networks - Connections Optimizer. I've never seen this before so it's possible that this is causing my wifi to turn on every now and then. I'm not entirely sure but I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed the same.

After checking it off my wifi hasn't randomly turned on yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Not turning off and on... Signal was bouncing around. Rock solid after full flash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] egomaster:
Sorry for noob question, im running rooted el29 cwm. Do I need to do anything before using Odin to flash this? Any and all help appreciated.

Also how can I get cwm on fi03 with out losing kernel?

Sent from Sprint Samsung Epic 4G Touch
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Snazarian:
I think u can just ODIN on top of that setup, but make sure you get the version that WIPES, not the NO WIPE. and btw, ull lose cwm. Its the stock bootloader :good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jziggy101:
I flashed the No_Data and everything has been working fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JDinAZ74:
I flashed the no data and have had no problems but one. When charging my phone last night I woke up to see the red charging led still on and my phone at 99 %. Not a huge problem but one I've never seen before. Also the Wifi issues people have been reporting are probably related to the wifi optimizer. I had the disclaimer pop up and if you read it, it basically says it remembers networks you've connected to and will do so automatically when in range and if not turn the wifi radio off after some time. I found it in settings > wireless and networks > more > mobile networks > connection optimizer
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Snazarian:
No, i dont think its related. I have my optimizer turned off (cuz the vzw GS3 has something similar) cuz its so damn annoying. I think its the good 'ol 'wifi sleep of death' bug. and battery was great on day 1, but day 2 really depleted too quickly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] grncherry:
I have to agree, its the wifi bug rearing it's ugly head again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Raistlin1:
When I was on this for like a day I also noticed that it would not fully charge and stay at 99% and the red LED still on (using the full wipe rooted tar v2). I gave my wife my trustee Evo when I got my white E4GT and she killed the power button. So I picked up a black E4GT and decided I wanted the black version and gave her my white one.

So for now my phone is on stock FH13 and I just finished installing caulks GB 3.0 rom on her phone and setting her all up. Wimax on there works fine and 3G speeds are ok, I left her on the EL29 modem because I tested a bunch of the new ones all the wimax speeds were slower for some reason. She doesn't need anything except good battery life and good signal, so I figured caulks GB rom is perfect for her.

I want to come back to FI03 but from the day or so I had it battery life was not so great, I may have to stick it out on FH13 until another leak drops. Other than the battery dying fast and not fully charging everything else seemed pretty good though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tenazrael:
Maybe someone can help direct me - I used the Restore option where it complete wipes the User Data - but I've come to realize that it does not get rid of any folders created under the system sd card folder.

For example, if I were to install an app, the folder for that app will still be within the folder structure, even though the app itself is no longer there. Is there anyway to completely clean up the folder structure so it shows only what the stock folder should have?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Settings|Storage|Format USB storage. Make sure you back anything up you want to save. Like pictures, music or whatever.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
This also removes the hidden folders where secured data may still reside... which is also a good idea.

(Just did this myself with FI03.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tsowen:
Used the same method and my modem is still stuck on FF18, tried to reflash again using mobile odin and still stuck with same modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
That's because Mobile Odin can't flash modems on CDMA phones. When flashing the modem you will need to do it either through Odin or CWM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tsowen:
I see, I thought using an actual .tar with the pro version it would flash the modem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tenaciousj:
Is there just a modem file I can flash? Used Odin to install the No Data tar and it left me with my previous modem.

Nevermind, was looking for it in the wrong thread, got it now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Edited my post..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JDinAZ74:
Anyone else having the charging issue? I've ran it through a few charge cycles now and it consistently stops at 99% I hate to do a full restore if it's not going to fix the issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
It SLOWLY trickles the last 1%.... Not sure why but remember GB doing it as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Foulwx:
I noticed on one of the roms I was running, it was set to 1200 mhz and the performance governor. Since the load was so high it never could get fully charged. Just a possibility.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] naripsta:
Ruh roh. I tried to do Mobile Odin to this coming from FH13 and now the phone is stuck at the Samsung Galaxy SII screen.

I'm guessing I can ODIN back to stock?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Snazarian:
Lol..well no harm in trying..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Snazarian:
Superuser

Ok, i confirmed I only have sueperuser installed, cuz i just did a clean install of the full restore/wipe version of your V2. with Rom Toolbox Pro, when i want to make ANY changes ti will ask for SU permissions.....the phone displays the "rom toolbox pro has received SU permissions' a COUPLE of times and then the phone freezes, and it reboots on its own........

Anyone else having the phone reboot when using apps that need SU permissions?????

:confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Can you dump a logcat (in ADB shell or terminal emulator: logcat -d -f /sdcard/logdump.txt) and send it to me? That would help me narrow down the cause.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Snazarian:
check PM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
Does anybody have normal working wifi on this build? I'm asking because like most people I was having wifi issues too but not the wifi sleep bug everybody was experiencing. My bug was that no matter what option I chose on the wifi advance settings my wifi would not sleep at all. Which was fine because I didn't have to deal with the not connecting after sleep issue you guys had. But today I went from the first version garwin posted to version 2 full restore and now my wifi is working like it should. If I put it to never sleep it won't sleep and if I choose to sleep it goes to sleep and reconnects when I hit power button :eek:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] No4g4Me:
some programs and also cwm recovery are stored onto the internal storage (12GB) so any deleting from there should not be done before the new flashings start, if your using an update zip or perserve data odin. also after flashing a new rom i would recommend formating internal storage then flash rom again, then re flashing cwm through odin. see if that clears up any weird behavior. I remember from previous times after flashes, permission issues, reboots, and trying to restore through cwm fails, then i finally realized i was deleting important files on the internal storage at the wrong time. The files need to be there for future support not just to root and add cwm so keep those files there before a fresh start then re-add those files to your new rom. Hope that helps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
Nothing you said has to do with what I was getting at so you lost me. I'm just asking if anybody has perfectly working wifi like I do on fi03. No sleep of death where you need to toggle wifi off n on to get it back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] No4g4Me:
okay 'i have bugs in my wifi' <------------ that's you right there. No my phone is fine, but hey this might help you <---------- that's me right there, if you knew the specific reasons of your problems then why ask for help. You ever heard of a dirty flash, why don't you Google that.

Hope that helped
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
Wow go seek some mental help. Not once did I ask for help so I don't know where you get that from.. My question was and still is was the wifi bug everybody was having on the previous ics builds fixed on this build. Do yourself a favor and don't respond anymore you're showcasing your lack of common sense.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
So, your wifi doesn't sleep correctly ?? Sorry, just trying to catch up and want make sure I understand.

Hold on.

I'll go make something to help :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] No4g4Me:
sorry for trouble shooting such a simple question but yet such a complicated problem , yes my wifi is working.

did that help?

hope that helped.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
I don't what alls happening around here lol but

Whether or not you have a hard time getting it to sleep

This will still help. So, yeah... just extract the script to your data partition and execute it. It will set set idle sleep to 6.5 seconds and dchp max retries to 5 (from 9).

Also disables some spyware from dropbox and Samsung that like to keep phone awake.

http://db.tt/haB7ZH4R

PS, I didn't set it up to choose sleep policy so that's all on you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheDudeAbides:
Flashed Preserve Data FI03 coming from FH23 and got stuck on 4G screen. Pulled battery, reboot, and I'm good to go! Thanks garwynn!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Snazarian:
I DID, until i flashed the clean/wipe version. works great now altho i havent had too much time with it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JDinAZ74:
A cache and dalvic wipe seems to have fixed the problem for me in case anyone else is having this problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] grncherry:
I would like to get rid of the ascending ringtone. I have tried several methods but always end up screwing up the phone. That is the only complaint I have. My wifi wakes and sleeps as it should. This is the first ICS rom that I've stuck with. Battery life seems to be pretty good so far also. Thanks to all the devs that made this possible. A ringtone fix would make this one a keeper.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lord dredd:
Hi

I a yet to jump on to FI03 :P

how is it ? battery backup ? signal strength and overall .

is it true that pinch to zoom is gone :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Very solid build. And zoom issue was related to first root attempt, it is good now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] grncherry:
After nearly 48hours, build is doing very well. Overnight with full charge I only go down to 97%. Wifi is set to never when asleep. According to BetterBatteryStats my phone is in deep sleep the whole time. I have no mods or tweaks active and I did the no data over EL29 Blazer's4.1. My gps instantaneously locks on with 9 to 14 sats. The hands-free voice dialing is working without a hitch now too, so I have no complaints except the with the ascending ringtone that totally annoys me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
Ok so by doing this my 4g speeds went back to complete crap and i had to do the whole Odin OC process to restore them. I'm assuming it has to do with losing the fi03 kernel? Guess no hotspot hack for me in the meanwhile..

Edit: Is there a way i can flash the hotspot hack without cwm? I think i remember doing it through Odin on my og epic but I'm not sure if I'm remembering corectly..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
If you want a custom recovery on a fi03 kernel, you can get Agats recovery with stock kernel repack from the kernel repository.

There is a one click (which will trigger the triangle so you'll have to use TA) and also a tar for Odin/Mobile Odin..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
So the one click triggers the triangle from what I'm understanding, but how about the tar? Will it give me the triangle too?? Sorry for the noob question but i dont really flash much. Just use the OC and call it a day. I Honestly haven't had a custom recovery since EL29 was released and I've been on ics since the first leaks so that's been a long while lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
One min and ill test the fi03 tar in odin. I know Fh23 will so I'm betting the answer is yes. That's why people suggest mobile odin. It won't. Update coming in a few minutes.

I was reading this thread and I'm coming to the conclusion mobile odin won't trigger the triangle from one of agats posts about why use desktop odin since it triggers the triangle. Now to find the apk for mobile odin time to search :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
You're welcome Ray.

Here's Chainfire's Mobile Odin XDA version. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1347899

And yes, pc odin and tar = triangle.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
Thanks I already had found it and downloaded lol. Was looking for the extra flashkernel it requires. Appreciate the help!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Extra flash kernel is a few posts down from the XDA version
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Eddy315west:
how do i get agat recovery on here after upgrading or any recovery to backup just in case ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Use this first, then download one of Agat's repacks and flash by Odin. Finally use Triangle Away to remove the yellow triangle and reset the binary counter.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brothertax:
I just wanted to add that this is the first official ROM since ICS was released for the Epic Touch that is as stable as I need it to be. Everyone should be on this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] grncherry:
Still has a major problem which is the wifi bug rearing it's ugly head still. It doesn't wake up after an extended period of standby and has to be restarted manually. It happens whether the Sprint connection optimizer is checked or not. I have had enough of ICS its back to Blazer 4.1, perfect without a doubt for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick4mitch:
This is true.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Eddy315west:
Where do i get the agat repacks and what odin do i use ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:

Mobile odin wont trigger the triangle. If you use pc odin, like Garwynn said, just use triangle away after.

Thanks MoHoGalore For Your Help. Now I Just Download and put on sd card or do i need to extract then flash with mobile odin ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
That's what I was asking a few posts back but the question flew past everybody's head bcuz they didn't seem to understand what I was talking about.. My reason for asking was because my wifi is working perfectly fine now after using the full restore version. Wakes up fine :cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] grncherry:
Maybe I'll give it one more go. I am skeptical, but we shall see. Thanks for the suggestion.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bmwguy:
Just download it (no need to extract), put on sd card and flash it using mobile odin. Choose flash kernal. It will flash and then reboot. You now have both AGAT recovery and the kernal from FI03 installed. Turn the phone off and you can verify by holiding volume u and power buttn and it should boot in to AGAT recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Raistlin1:
I had a los happen yesterday. I was either on wifi or wimax for the evening, then had to go somewhere and happened to notice the no service icon. Turned on 4g and that worked but the other radio was still off, yes 3g setting was on, so I toggled airplane mode and 3g came back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
I still get some twitchy behavior and reboots but I can't yet tell if it's the stock ROM or the root attempt.

Whenever we get the next version I may try going pure stock on that and see if the problems persist.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thunderx2000:
has anyone noticed that this ROM is a massive battery hog? I mean I full charged my phone, turned off auto-sync, turned down brightness to 30% and had it turn off after 15 seconds. turned off auto sync on other apps also. Left wifi on, because it has never been a problem for me. You may say that its wifi that is draining the battery and I may call you a liar, why because of every ROM I have had, wifi has never been the cause of battery drainage. Any other ROM I have installed, with wifi left on, I have seen battery life dropped to 60% after 16 hours. With FI03 the battery dropped to 60% in 4 hours. And I have always used the Battery Calibration after every ROM flash I have done.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eozdalga:
This is definitely much better than FH18. I also see much better 4G. I updated to this (using no data reset) about 5 days ago. Have a few issues (that I never had before) and I'm hoping not have to start over with clear data...

1) I keep getting text messages (couple a day) with all sorts of numbers letters from 8738

2) SU does not work. I tired clearing data in the SU app. Titanium will not work because of this.

3) 2-3 restarts a day, usually when using an app that's connected to data (I tried turning off connections optimizer

Any thoughts appreciated!!!!

I also agree, batter life not that great after 5 days. Although, I haven't had any good battery since leaving GB. I'm using a Seidio 3500mah and still can't make it 3/4th's through the day.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
1) Are you using Google Voice?

2) Did you do the NODATA over a different build? If so, try the full restore and see what happens.

3) This is my main thing as well. Whenever the data connection hangs it seems not to like it too well.

I'm trying to catch it in the act and see if I can get more and hopefully find someone who can report it.

As for battery I'm getting 15-18 hrs on moderate use, at least 8 on heavier use.

Might want to check what all is running - I try not to keep much running or requiring a data sync.

Have you tried CM10? Try it and you will never regret it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wiggerbrand:
Does the Restore/Reset one-click do anything to the SD card data?

I am using an external sd card...and assume the internal sd card will be wiped, but not the external.

Thinking of going with the restore option to start over fresh...but want to make sure it will not overwrite my titanium backups, nandriod backups, or even any other files I have on the SD card.

Edit---just noticed TB is pointed to /mnt/sdcard/...so I should probably change this to the external sd card...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eozdalga:
No GV, and no I did no data over FH18. I was trying to avoid full restore but might just do that. Today only lasts few hours on the big battery. I think I will have to do full restore.

One-Clicks do not mess with either of your internal or sd memory. You manually have to delete those yourself. It deletes your user data not storage.

Did anyone notice this: battery monitor built in.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wayno-san:
Keeps failing

I tried to install the no-data-loss (NODATA) version of this a couple of times now and the same thing happens. The flash is successful but it gets stuck at the "4G" screen when booting. After about 20 minutes I pull the battery and it boots up, upgrades all the applications, and ends up in the home screen. After a few minutes it freezes up and the "Sprint" screen comes on for a second and then back to "android is upgrading" screen. It keeps repeating the events in the last sentence indefinitely.

Anything else I can try? If not, is there an an "over the air" upgrade file that I could try? I REALLY REALLY don't want to have to reinstall everything on the phone if I can avoid it.

Thanks

Has anyone had issues with their WiFi randomly turning on? I was on stock ota fh13 then flashed the no data oc, its not often that it happens but its just strange
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] naripsta:
I believe it's the Sprint Connection Optimizer or something like that. It connects when there's an available WiFi connection around. There's a way to disable it, I forgot how though.

That still doesn't solve the problem, 3g or 4G is still turned on whether you want it or not when coming from standby . I want the choice of either wifi or no connection at all.

Airplane mode works really nice for just that. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Alex1x:
Need your guide please. I'm planning to sell my S2 so I am wondering (a) Is this the Rom to flash and restore everything to stock? (b) Can I boot to CWM and flash Rom/Modem to return everything to stock losing recovery after boot?

Note, if CWM flash is no go, can I use mobile odin here?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] grncherry:
Maybe you don't understand. When the phone is in my pocket or wherever and it's in standby mode, there should be no connection(wifi or data), when I remove it from my pocket, and turn on the screen or use the hands-free voice dial, I want the wifi connection to become active, not 3g or 4g.It works perfectly fine with the GB OS. With ICS maybe wifi will turn on then again it may not It is a major ICS flaw. It is flaky at best. ICS is not a daily driver if you want dependable wifi or reliable hands-free voice dialing period. No rom, and believe me I have tried many, are without these problems. If you know of one I would be more than happy to try it.

---------- Post added at 06:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 PM ----------

In my opinion, PH's Blazer 4.1 set the bar for this phone. There hasn't been a rom that comes close to it.

Thank you for this

Just turn off mobile data then
