Good call-out, definitely overlooked that part of the post. My solution would only work if installing CM again allows access back into the GUI.
[Epic 4G Android Development] labumm:
I had something like this happen last week while on vacation. (Mind you I am still on one of the last CM10 nighties b/c of the lack of BLE in JB4.2.) On boot, CM would freeze on the animated circle (animation running). Usually a battery pull would fix this. But not this time.

I could still boot to CWM, so I did a Nandroid backup. Then re-flashed the nightly and gapps. But no joy. Still stuck on the animated circle after boot.

So I Odin'd back to stock, loaded CWM, and then flashed the nightly and gapps. That was a success. I was disappointed that the NEW nandroid backup was no where to be found. I saw it complete. Maybe it did not end up on the SD card? It was not a big disaster--only a couple weeks of *mostly junk* lost. I restored the latest (2 week old) nandroid. So be careful.

Good luck.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
Thanks everyone for the advice. I ended up odin'ing back to stock, flashed cwm, then loaded cm. Titanium bu saved most app data, not all, so didnt stay in the doghouse too long.

I think the cause may be related to the free version of TBU, as i never had this with my pro version. Getting wife the pro key asap. Lol.

CM 10.1.2 rocks. Even bluetooth is behaving so far. Great job to all the devs!
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
CM 10.1.2 is now giving me can't log in error for email notifications. Seems to happen every other release.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sesquipedalian:
My biggest issue with Chrome is that some websites seem to have random font sizes. Some text is large enough to read, while other text is far too small. If you zoom in on the small text, then the big text is running off the screen. Apparently it's a technology that was supposed to replace the "reflow" way that Android Browser does it. Firefox does the same thing. I think one decided it was a good idea and the other copied it. Neither offered a way to turn it off and use reflow. I know what they're trying to do is supposed to be a better method, but in practice, you get an unusable browser.

It's been like that ever since Chrome came out. I reinstall it (and Firefox) every few months hoping it might be better now, but it's always the same. I don't understand how anyone uses the browsers like that. And if you google it, there's not really a lot of people complaining about it. It really baffles me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] propjockey:
I never used chrome on my epic for that reason, but I like it on my HTC one. The text issue isn't as much of an issue with more screen real estate and processor. That said, I miss the stable, clean nightlies of the epic. Things are less stable here in HTC one land. Aosp Roms had recently/supposedly been bricking phones.

Any phantom voicemail fix for 10.1.2?

[Epic 4G Android Development] spartasr:
Yea that's what I'm using:(
[Epic 4G Android Development] danipoak:
I made a thread a while back for CM9 that had a phantom voicemail fix. It involved decompiling the phone app and changing something. I don't know how to do it but with the directions someone on here was able to. I'm on mobile so I can't search for the thread. You should be able to find it searching for threads I created and perhaps someone in here can do it again with the CM10.1 app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spartasr:
I do remember that fix, didn't it end up being implemented through the Phone < menu button > Settings > and disabling Voicemail Notifications on CM9?

For some reason this setting has been omitted in 10.1...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
nvm looks like cm has that already. Also in the device tree and its set to true

Anyone else having issues with the Browser sync failing? Under System Settings -> Accounts -> my google account, I get the little "!" mark next to "Browser" and down below i see the message "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly". It's been like that since i flashed yesterday morning. I've tried clearing data on Browser which didn't work. I've also tried removing my google account and recreating it. Browser is still failing to sync while everything else is successful. The only thing i sync on my desktop Chrome app is the bookmarks.

Any ideas?

The version i'm using is 10.1-20130723-NIGHTLY-epicmtd

Edit: also i tried the Sync Tester in the built-in dev tools kit and it immediately reports: "Sync failed: SyncResult: stats[numParseExceptions: 1]"
[Epic 4G Android Development] UPdownLoAD:
I've had the same problem since Feb 9th. Even tried a clean install, same problem. I think it may be (Google) account related more so than a ROM problem, but who knows. That's really one of the only "bugs" I have had and have not worried about it much since Chrome syncs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffreyjicha:
I don't have any sync problems. You might be right about it being account related
[Epic 4G Android Development] jnow2:
I've had the sync issues on two different phones, 1 has CM and the other has a touch wiz ROM.....gotta be Google!

For the most part Chrome for Android in general feels very beta to me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Okay right now I am leaning toward this having something to do with Yahoo. It hasn't kicked me out of Gmail yet. If I look back over the times it has happened, it has only been my yahoo accounts.

I had Firefox Beta, but I had to delete it cause it leaves a heavy footprint. Otherwise its perfect. Right now I just use the stock browser. :( I mean its not bad, its just not...Firefox.
[Epic 4G Android Development] propjockey:
Man, this thread got really sleepy :(

I miss the stable CM builds and the community here. This thread is still more interesting than the HTC one CM thread. I have a feeling I'm going to be playing with 10.2 on my epic before I will on my new phone. :thumbup:
[Epic 4G Android Development] danipoak:
I am hoping this is true. Still avoiding my upgrade.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
You're probably right. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] propjockey:
See, this is what I mean. I've been on the Sprint HTC one for about a month. Things in CM land over there are budding, but not where we were here. And Brian, you just proved my point. Great work! I'm looking forward to focal and the trebuchet improvements. Sense 5 is getting boring. Might have to dig out the epic and play!
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Forgive the noobishness of this question: Everyone said the BT issues were the fault of Google and it had something to do with the architecture of 4.2. Does that mean the issues have been resolved in 4.3?
[Epic 4G Android Development] propjockey:
I heard it's fixed, but I have no experience or proof. I can't imagine they are going to leave that issue without a fix. But looks like we'll find out soon...
[Epic 4G Android Development] labumm:
One thing left out of the "new" BT stack in JB4.2 was BLE--the part of BT that is used by heart rate monitors and other sensors. That is supposed to be implemented in JB4.3. Don't know the other issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
What does the EroticBox kernel do? I'm on the latest official stable ROM from CM, but my battery life is poor again. Was wondering if a different kernel would help (I'm just using the stock kernel) or if I should flash the experimental like you did, or both.
[Epic 4G Android Development] danipoak:
Eroticbox is just the name of the computer. We probably don't want to know what's on it ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
:eek: ok. lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] chrishighs:
I always liked that the build server was named eroticbox.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] danipoak:
Very excited to see 4.3 already on the epic though. I have it on my N7 and it is a nice upgrade IMHO. Things seem to be running smoother. Bluetooth was never an issue for me on 4.2 but hopefully it fixes it for the rest of you and doesn't break it on mine :P
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
I fixed bluetooth on mine by first connecting to a bluetooth headset, then connecting to the problem bluetooth device. For some reason, this worked.

I posted about this in the Slim thread, but nobody cares :(

I've been avoiding my upgrade as well. The old girl is still chugging along. I'm afraid when I go, I'm going to Verizon though. Sprint's network is just too slow in my town. It's only because of epic and CM I've stayed around this long!
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Too slow, and I've NEVER connected to 4g. Plus, I live in a very developed area, and I have several dead spots that I know only exist because Sprint is too cheap to by space on the towers in those areas. I have been with them for 10 year (since it was Nextel) but I'm done in March when my contract is up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bypod:
Exactly. I remember about 3 years ago they talked about wimax coming soon here. A not funny joke, especially when they started charging the extra $10 for 4G devices. I think they've since changed that to just 'smart' devices. I did connect to 4G once while traveling though. I liked it. Verizon installed LTE here a year ago. So that's the deal. Wish I could take this epic with me. I'll probably start a Ting plan for the kids or something and pass on the CM love. Because I love you CM. I really do.

What's my best candidate for a high-end CM ready device on Verizon, people?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
I was actually toying with Tmobile, who already HAS wimax in my area. For what I pay for my Sprint garbage, I can get a family plan with 3 phones. But, I'm still researching.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bypod:
Verizon is pricey, but I get a modest communication allowance from work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] labumm:
My sprint cell service is total crap in my neighborhood...downtown Norman. OK. Service used to be decent, but I guess they pulled some roaming towers from the PRL some years ago. That said, we do have Wimax in the same area. So if I get a new phone (sprint), I'll just have crappy cell service--and we do not have LTE.

There is a lot to like about this phone. I am VERY THANKFUL the devs are keeping us feasting on the latest android OS improvements!
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
I'm sure to get smashed for this (deservedly so): What's LTE?
[Epic 4G Android Development] danipoak:
T-Mobile never had wimax. Sprint only technology. Their "4g" is HSPA+ and they are building LTE infrastructure So to answer you other question LTE is another 4g technology, faster than wimax. Sprint has some LTE now. I'm hoping to stick with sprint as I consider Verizon a more evil company. Now that sprint shut down nextel on the 800mhz spectrum they have a lot of free space to build up their network. 800mhz has good building penetration.
[Epic 4G Android Development] labumm:
In short. We are 4g, but 4g Wimax--the 4g that did not make it. Alass our phone is not compatible with the 4g LTE that is being built out. Not that LTE is ready for prime time in mine...
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
And what about AT&T? Same as T-Mobile?

---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 PM ----------

I'm on Cricket, which seems to have a version of 4G or wimax. I'm guessing since they mostly use Sprint towers that they don't have true LTE either, but rather wimax? They're just now starting to push 4G, but its in select markets, mostly Texas.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Cricket probably uses wimax... Sprint has lte now (along with wimax, wimax will be done in a few years though), just not in all areas yet but it's rolling out at steady pace
[Epic 4G Android Development] labumm:
So you are saying wimax is not dead--NOT gone the way of the dinosaurs? That was my understanding--gone w/ the dinos.... If not I'd like to9 be the first to rejoice!
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Its not dead but it appears to be on life support. Google searches says Sprint will keep it around till 2015, but at the moment they're turning toward LTE.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
AT&T = HSPA+, LTE

T-Mo = HSPA+ ("4G"), LTE

Sprint = WiMAX, LTE

Verizon = ??? (don't know much about that damn company), LTE

This is what I can tell from a Chinese user's perspective and may not be close to reality...
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
lol alright thanks. I've been thinking of switching to AT&T for a while (horrible horrible past experiences with T-Mobile), so just wondering.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
That was supposed to say done... :o:o:o. It will be fine in a few years..
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Cricket has lte with select phones the s4 and s3 do. Cricket is trying to step up but their plans suck as far as internet goes I will admit it was fast until they throttle you then its unbearable.

Uploading cm-10.2 test. Why test you ask? Mostly because I changed the way it chargers completely and I have some cool images

[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
My build doesn't boot either...

Delete bootanimation ==> Still hangs

Logcat ==> impossible due to 1) the adb verification since 4.2.x (which makes debugging a ROM virtually impossible - FXXK YOU GOOGLE) & 2) USB Debugging is usually off by default in CM (don't blame them, this is for security)

Does anyone know if the new TRIM feature of 4.3 work on older phones like the epic? Is it just a software thing, not related to hardware necessarily since all phones have solid state memory/storage? :cyclops:
[Epic 4G Android Development] didhiy:
As far as I know, no. The kernel does not have it enabled. I'm not sure if the chip supports it or not. But if it does, I'd be hesitant to enable it since SECURE ERASE is what permanently bricked some later Samsung phones.

Additionally, our sdcard storage is on FAT32, not ext4 (emulated sdcard), which does not support TRIM.

EDIT: I was wrong. It appears that MMC_CAP_ERASE is already enabled in the kernel, but I'm not sure if the chip supports it or not. However, it won't be too useful since our largest partition is FAT32.

Oh, right. FAT32... bummer. Having not played with newer phones, do they also only support extra SD storage as FAT32? Obviously, most have much more internal storage 16GB or 32GB. But with perhaps a GSIV, can you use an SD card formatted to a different standard that does support TRIM?

New thread for CM10.2 is now up. No guarantees that it will sovle all the world's problems, but feel free to test it out. :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Two new problems?

Okay, still on the official release of 10.1.2.

1) GPS/Compass. I mentioned this on another board, but I think it belongs here. This may not be related to the ROM itself, but still: GPS worked perfectly (I only use Google Maps/Google Navigation), then one day Google Maps updated with an entirely new interface. Now it takes a while for the indicator to lock on and face the right direction. It'll still move with me (I'm usually in car) but it'll spin a while then eventually face the direction I'm going (9 times out of time). The GPS works fine, doesn't take forever or anything to get a location, but that indictator problem is new. Again, it could be related to the update instead of the ROM, don't know, but figured I'd mention it.

2) Plants vs Zombies. This could be related to the limitations of the Epic 4G, but again figured I'd mention it here just in case. I finally updated it (it went from 3mb to freakin' 92mb!), so I guess I now have the full game, since it includes the Zen Garden and other things I've only seen in the full, PC/Xbox 360 version. Ok. That's great and all, problem is when I start playing, the game will suddenly shut itself off and put me back on the home screen (thankfully it doesn't reboot the phone). Any idea how to fix that, or am I screwed until I get a more powerful device? I'm wondering if I should get an overclocking program.

Thanks in advance
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
1) grab a Google Maps 6.x APK elsewhere and test out. Should be a software specific problem.

2) From my experience, this is usually not related to weak hardware (or not because PvZ is so large and eats RAM), but instead could be CM10.1's compatibility problem. Try moving aside memory space from Settings-Apps-Running (task managers usually don't kill services completely) until you have >=180MB left, then try starting the program again. P.S. Under my ideal usage, there could be 220MB RAM left.

Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ CM10.2
[Epic 4G Android Development] UPdownLoAD:
1) Here's Google Maps v6.14.4 from my Epic. Try that. Or before you do, bootup to the FC09 sdcard rom and use the GPS diag program.

2) Force stop the game, clear cache & data, reboot, play game hopefully :)

Good luck. I'm probably migrating away from the Epic if I can get a working Kyocera Torque (current one is getting replaced today). My Epic's hinge is going again and there is now a large chuck of plastic missing from the frame of the screen. I don't have the patience to do another repair on it (already replace the flex cable and hinge once).

But DAMN do I miss the keyboard and the AMOLED screen. The louder than life speakers on the phone make up for it and going 1.5-2 days of SOLID usage is killer. Oh, and I can throw my phone at people I get pissed off at now!! :good::eek:
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Its Gotten Worse...

...the Plants vs Zombies thing. Now when I click on the icon to open the game, it'll show the loading grass carpet rolling out, but once the grass carpet gets halfway it'll close itself and go back to my home screen. WTF.

Alright. I'm guessing delete via Titanium Backup, and put the apk in system/app via Root Explorer?

Say what now? :eek:

Didn't work. I'm wondering if I should go into CWMR and clear something there.

I'm ready to leave Epic 4G myself, but for now its all I got. Trying to ride it till the wheels fall off as the kids these days say.

Google will still try to update, though, won't it? I know I don't have to accept, but isn't that what will happen, always an update notification?

Oddly, it downloaded 92MB, but when I look in settings/apps, its only 11mb. And looking at the internal storage in settings/apps, I have 132MB free. Going to settings/apps/running...yeah 78MB free. Huh.

I stopped some services, but not many are running that aren't android specific. Now I'm down to 152MB free. And then some of it cut itself back on while I was typing this. :eek:
