A community is a sum of the people that make it up which you have always been helpful member of. Carry that with you and people who really remember their Android roots will follow your lead (no pun intended).;)

It's been a pleasure Slaya.:good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trmitche2:
For the longest time I was on stock rooted EK02. I recently took the plunge and wiped all and installed CM10, which I love. The only problem I've had is that *all* sound suddenly decides to just go away whenever it wants to (ring/notif tones, touch clicks, app sounds, everything except in-call audio). It might last 5 minutes, or it might last an hour, but it always comes back on its own, and a reboot does not fix it. I can't seem to trigger the problem with a certain app or a certain action, but for example, I will be sitting here playing Angry Birds Star Wars, and the sound will just drop out completely. A few levels later, it comes back on its own. I put the phone down, go do something else, and the entire phone has muted itself again. Frustrating...

I'm on CM10 beta2 nightly 20121108

Kernel version says 3.0.15-CM-g8e7ed92, which seems appropriate since it references CM and this is the first CM I've ever had on the phone. Should I try other kernels though? AFAIK, no one else has mentioned this particular audio problem in the CM10 discussion thread. At least I don't think this is related to the "low volume in some apps" issue.

HOWEVER, something interesting, the baseband/radio version says EK02. I guess I should update that to get better comm, but it couldn't be causing an intermittent muting issue, right? I guess I assumed incorrectly that a ROM installed after a wipe would have to include its own modem. Argh.

This is frustrating, as I said. Thanks for any help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trmitche2:
Wow. 5 days and no replies. Can't someone at least tell me what you think? I've never understood why I can ask a legitimate, polite, and descriptive question after searching the forums as much as possible, and it gets ignored, while someone else can post something completely redundant that barely forms a coherent sentence, yet it sparks a 10 page discussion... frustrating.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Alkah0liK:
I am not exceedingly familiar with cm10 but I would bet it is not the modem causing that issue. I would be inclined to think you have intentionally and / or accidentally changed the "quiet hours" or setup some form of silent profile. Otherwise it was perhaps a bad flash, you did not wipe CLEANLY (IE. calkulins format all or odin a full wipe/restore rim first) or maybe not install with what many revs believe to be a CWM safe kernel???

---------- Post added at 11:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 PM ----------

also do you have anything (pc or stereo) connected to Bluetooth with the phone nearby?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Nobody knows the answer to your questions. This is not a common problem and as mentioned above the modem has nothing to do with it. My only suggestion would be to flash a stock release one click, not a leak, and go from there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Alkah0liK:
Agree with above and mainly because I borked my build... it was perfect and then I tried a gps fix flash. Can confirm now that wipe in CWM and calks format all does not do crap for aosp, jb, or the like. So long story short, yeah you gotta one click or my guess is best served to clean slate with a stock ROM and in consequently factory wipe and just stay there.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trmitche2:
Wow thanks for the replies guys! I was really getting discouraged there for a bit.

I don't think it's a quiet hours setting, because all sound is cutting in and out *every 5-10 minutes*,

I will use Calk's wipe and start from scratch as suggested.

Although unrelated, surely EK02 is not a recommended modem for CM10, right? I guess I made a naive assumption that a full wipe followed by CM10 install would replace my old modem. I'm just curious what kind of problems might be caused by using such an old modem, even though I know sound is not one of them.

Can anyone recommend a modem for this ROM from personal experience? I understand from the main beta2 thread that the FK modems break 3G...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Just flash a one click, it will wipe everything and install a new modem. I'm using fi27 modem with codename rom, works fine. My current install method is run one click update prl and profile and get gps lock then do the install process of the rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Alkah0liK:
Yes. Do this. Then. Format all is still a good idea if you choose to revert to a GB ROM like el29 and progress.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trmitche2:
UPDATE: I fixed this.... accidentally. What fixed it is hard for me to believe or accept, but Iv'e confirmed it by being able to reproduce it. The problem was being caused by the FRIKKIN' FACEBOOK APP. :/ I uninstalled the FB app for a totally unrelated reason: battery drain pointed out in another post. I realized the next day that the sound had not cut out once since then, I re-installed FB, and the problem returned quite predictably: all sounds started cutting in and out every few minutes. Uninstalled FB again, and sound has been fine ever since. My best guess is that the sound was cutting out/in each time a background sync of FB occurred. So now my sound is perfect and my battery life is much better to boot. I never used that damn app anyway.

Unrelated, but for what it's worth, I never installed a new modem as discussed above. Still running EK02 with CM10 nightly from 11/28. Have no problems to speak of. I didn't leave it on purpose, (noob mistake, thought CM10 installation would replace it), but I don't see any reason to change it as long as everything seems perfect, unless anyone can tell me what types of problems it could cause. Any further thoughts welcomed, but thanks again to you guys who already gave me advice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
None, modems are interchangeable between builds with the exception of the fk-- and newer modems, they only work with Touchwiz based JB roms. If your modem is performing well speed and call quality wise then there's no need to change. However you could always test other modems to see if you get any improvement in your location. If you choose to change modems you should be on a touchwiz rom so you can update prl and profile after the modem flash. Modems are a YMMV item each one interacts with different devices and locations differently so to find the best modem for you you just need to flash and test them out if you so choose

Still wish I knew how FB could make my sound cut in and out every few minutes, but if no one else has seen that issue, it must've been a quirk, so I imagine I'll never know. Moving on....

[Nexus 4 General] NorySS:
The USB cable was hanging over my desk. Those that have a nexus 4 know very well these things glide easily on flat surfaces.

The weight of the USB cable pulled the phone for a 3 foot fall to my wood floor. Both glasses shattered. Touch does not work. Back on my trusty galaxy nexus until further notice.

FYI bumpers are still on back over ever since I ordered my phone. 1st day order. I received the n4 last week.

It's already been shipped back to LG.

[Nexus 4 General] Matt1408:
Mine almost fell the same way as well. Luckily, I managed to catch the device before it actually fell anywhere.

I see a lot of people talking about getting a case but that's not going to stop your screen from cracking guys. Cases in many senses are absolutely useless. The shock from the fall can still break the back even if you do have a case.

I will remain caseless for now, I can't put a cheap piece of plastic over something this beautiful.

Can you please update OP with your location, how long it took to repair and how much it cost in total when you get your phone back? Don't have too it might just be good for reference in future.

Thanks!

[Nexus 4 General] phikapjames:
I completely disagree with this statement in regards to the Nexus 4. Look at your side, it's partially covered with steel, but the actual corner (or in this case, a curve, is completely exposed and not protected by the frame. It's minor, but does allow a lot more angles on the side to be hit and hit in the weakest areas. That's how mine actually broke falling from the car dock in the phone. Landed on an angle (almost face down) on lower dash.

I can verify that it was $140 for mine to LG also in the US (Fort Worth, Texas plant). Still waiting for it to come back in though. I'm on day 13 today and it's still in the repairing status.

[Nexus 4 General] phermey:
i gotta tell ya. i look at that and wonder how it is that the start of the fractures arent on the edge. then i look at it even more and wonder why the front and the back dont match. in other words... according to the back.... right side middle. it would be on the front... left side middle. but on the front.... it looks as if a chunk was popped out and the 'spray' isnt where it should be

maybe its me... but i call bs on this one.

[Nexus 4 General] lwfb:
Sucks bro, that's not pretty... I don't think the phone is as fragile as everyone is making it out to be though.

Mine slid off the couch just a few days ago onto a wood floor (Brazilian cherry, not a soft wood) while I was looking for a remote and I don't have a scratch, dent, ding, or crack from that incident.

That's about a two and a half foot drop with no damage whatsoever.

That's not the first accidental drop either... My 16 month old has gotten a hold of it a few times when it's unattended on the couch or on the night stand and has dropped it.

My phone is naked by the way. I keep it in a leather pouch when I'm out though.

Just my feedback...
[Nexus 4 General] FatalityBoyZahy:
Too soon?
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
Dropped mine to also but no damage. Are you sure someone did not trip over the charging cable or something? Both sides broken? Looks a bit odd to me.

I also am tired of hearing people complain that the phone is slippery. It is glass and every one has said this over and over.

I feel bad your phone is broken but at l you admit it dropped which is more than many.

Yeah, all glass should be unbreakable in this day and age. They should have used a shatter-proof sctatch-proof touch screen.

I would recommend xtreme guard full body protection. I have it on, phone almost sticks to glass, worktops, etc. No problems at all with screen sensitivity or proximity sensor (no cuts for this). Its great!
[Nexus 4 General] drpepe:
:laugh: indeed

I think if a phone (or almost any other electronic device) is dropped from a height onto a hard floor, there has to be an expectation that it will be damaged.

Unless you can afford to spend £250-400 every time the inevitable happens, then get a case!
[Nexus 4 General] biffsmash:
Hate to say it but that does not look consistent with the explanation. If its true then ouch indeed but I've dropped mine twice onto wooden floor and no damage at all..
[Nexus 4 General] nbeebe24:
My condolences to you OP. I highly recommended protecting your phone with a case at least. I dropped my phone after getting out of my car and it's completely fine thanks to my tpu case. Its not worth it to risk it just to feel the naked phone
[Nexus 4 General] mELIANTE:
All that from a 3ft fall onto wood floor? That's tough luck... Are you sure that's what happened?
[Nexus 4 General] Kazliux:
Guys, to prevent N4 sliding from the tables you need to stick some thing on the back. There are a lot of crystal-clear girly earrings, who can stick on the back of the N4. They are small and you won't notice it, but they will do the trick by lifting the N4 a little and it won't slip away.
[Nexus 4 General] NorySS:
Believe you me, I have had an android phones since 2009. This is my first 'broken' phone. Heck my first broken screen.

The phone happened yesterday morning @ home. I connect the nexus 4 to my PC's usb to load up some files. My PC is a full tower case and the usb ports are in the front with a 4 ft usb cable. Basically its the same cable/setup I have always used with my Nexus.

MY oversight was the fact that this phone has no edge per say. Hence why I said this phone glides. Well, on a smooth desk, and smooth glass. The weight of the usb cable just pulled the phone straight off the desk and to its death. I heard it fall and heard a sound I had never heard before. :eek: Obviously I am used to al my older phones, HTC/Samsung that all have a plastic/textured back. Never had them glide off anything.

I will say this. The glass kept breaking more and more after the fact. I transported the phone to work, to call google and LG. And the phone was being handled and messed with trying to figure out how to turn it off, etc etc. By 1 PM, when I shipped it out the glass kept breaking into smaller parts until eventually little pieces starting coming off. So I would say from the time of first impact, till the time I took the picture, the samage got worst.

The phone is fragile TBH. I wanted the factory bumper, because of it looks great. But its OOS. and Seidio hasnt made a case yet for it. I've always had cases for my phone. Heck I have 3 cases for my Gnex.

Surely this is fake Gorilla glass? I've dropped my GS2 loads of times and the glass is perfectly fine.

This has to be poorly designed, like does the glass take all the strain or something? Maybe this is how they plan to make money, repairing glass lol.

Its the same as the iPhone 4(s) right? If so, its not that delicate, I know a lot of careless people who are carrying an iPhone 4 since release day. I can live with it.

Maybe I'm lucky as well. My one year old took mine off a coffee table and dropped it about two feet as well onto a wooden floor. I closed my eyes and went to it and not a scratch! Can't wait for my bumper though. LOL. I guess luck of the draw with glass! Unlucky
[Nexus 4 General] tweaked:
You can clearly see the pressure point from the back where it was hit.

You ppl and the It just dropped are all full of crap. Both Sides? ......You landed on it, least that what it looks like.

Use visa, Mastercard, Amex when making purchases over 100.....Free insurance for things like this....Then you wont feel the need to lie to yourself about how you broke it.
[Nexus 4 General] OverTheBelow:
Fell off my bike today and hit my head pretty hard (i <3 black ice). I was more concerned with the back of my Nexus 4, though :crying: :

Luckily the front is completely unscathed and the camera seems fine. It was in a leather sleeve in my pocket too.. I must've fallen pretty hard. Now I have to get a full back case for it and cancel my bumper order (which I might add, I ordered on the 20th Nov and still hasn't even been processed yet!).
[Nexus 4 General] mELIANTE:
So, one falls from a table to a wood floor and breaks both sides. Another is involved in a bike fall and breaks only the back glass. That's very lucky for one or very unlucky for other.
[Nexus 4 General] droidmakespwn:
Op looks more consistent of a pressure crack. How heavy is your USB cable?
[Nexus 4 General] NorySS:
Lol.... I would be lying to all the people on the internet.

Like I said the glass continued to crack into worst shape after the fact.

Obviously I am sharing this because I am not the first nor last person to have a broken screen on small drops. Not to mention the documented cases of the screen cracking on both the optimus and the nexus 4.

At the end of the day the phone fell. Ifixit's assessment was spot on regarding the lack of impact zones.

If you say so. i can see where the back was "Samwiched smashed", which caused the breaks on both sides. /Shrug; You can say what ya like. I don't believe you that it just fell. But that doesn't mean anything really, im just a forum retard. My opinion is just that, an opinion. Its broke either way and it still sux, and isn't cool. :(
[Nexus 4 General] eLv./.G1:
I was terrified about dropping mine but last week I dropped mine onto wooden floor from waist height next to my boots, whilst picking it up I could hear the grit on the floor but the phone still looks pretty mint just two small scratches on the edge odd the screen. I feel your pain but just wanted to show people a drop doesn't always end in a cracked screen.
[Nexus 4 General] CMNein:
It definitely doesn't take much force to make the phone move depending on the surface it's on. At a minimum it's a good idea to have a Gecko Grip type tab on the back of the phone.
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
Dudes, just keep your box... Let the phone sit in the box in the cut out charging. It will keep out safe and will hold it in place..

It looks like some it stepped on this or something. I really find it hard top believe it feel of a desk and broke both screens unless someone tripped on the wire and pulled it down with force. Just my opinion but i do not believe most of the breakage stories such as breaking in in hand with no pressure, while charging, or while just sitting on a desk supposedly breaking under its own weight.
