Anybody else having an issue with the alarm clock?

Any time I try to set up, view, edit alarms, the phone locks up and status getting hot. Need to pull the battery and reboot to get out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
What are you on? The tar, oc...?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] optimummind:
I experienced no alarm clock issues. I had flashed the original sextape tar file using mobile Odin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Imaginos:
Nope. Set an alarm last night and it worked just fine this morning - here I am at work on time thanks to it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Warboy:
Clock FCs sometimes for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] romgnascher:
Ok, I'll ask in the one-click thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Do you have a custom dpi set? That will cause problems with some apps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beremat:
Custom DPI here. No issues with the clock on FL16.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] romgnascher:
No. I have no mods. But I have done two consecutive no-data one clicks, so maybe that's the issue
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gerstoscar:
So far everything works fine... Alarms work... But bluetooth. It didn't work either with my wife's plantronics m55 or my LG HBM-235... Still waiting for that fix.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] opiuman:
Is anyone having trouble making a nandroid after upgrading to this and then using agat's FL16 kernel? I always get "error while backing up boot image!". Formatted my sd card, tried the internal and still same result. Did FL16 through regular ODIN one click from PC and the recovery through mobile ODIN.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
I've never been able to successfully make a nandroid on any kernel:confused:

I noticed that the Clock app stops working when I access it via the Beautiful Widgets widget, but appears to work correctly if I access the Clock app directly. I tried it with Beautiful Widgets v4.12 and v5.0.6. I don't recall if this happened on FK23.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _dan:
I just received a bluetooth headset for Christmas and it works. It wasn't finding it at first. I toggled bluetooth and then worked perfectly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] djjosh:
I ran it for a few days but the battery life needs to be checked is worse than fk23, I hope my two batteries didn't get damaged .so I went back to blue Kuban
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _dan:
My battery life is pretty decent with FL16. I think the majority of the battery consumption problems are from old dying batteries.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] colonel.shepard:
Battery seems the same running two phones
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] optimummind:
Accessing the clock from HD widget works well. I switched to HD Widgets b/c I didn't like Beautiful Widgets that much.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sextape:
Loving it/hating it????

Should Sam OTA this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
I like it for the most part, a few things they removed that I'd like to see back, but overall its OTA material :thumbup:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SASQUATCH:
Yes can you ota this already
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] optimummind:
Loved it~! Except for the removal of the USB mass storage option. I wish Sammy would add that back, release ota, then release source~!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
I want to like this rom. OTA material? Nooooo. It doesn't like some Bluetooth headsets, it's a crapshoot for good/bad battery life, fc'ing apps and general GUI lagginess is annoying. Many probably disagree with me but that's just my opinion.

I've tried straight Odin no root flash, Odin no root with root injected and one click wipe rooted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] colonel.shepard:
My gfs liking it its pretty much like fk23 but smoother I'm running fk23 she's on fl16
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] byrdcfmma:
Love it pretty much. There are a few things on my wishlist, but as soon as we have source our customization options should improve. Thanks for all the hard work to get us this far!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Loving it with all my heart. Lol :beer::D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] driftinganomaly:
I am loving it, but I doubt there will be an OTA until the exploit is patched and tested. The current workarounds can break the camera. Mass storage needs to be added back to USB settings as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Don't know if we're going to see Mass Storage back, they removed it during ICS OTAs as well.

Suspect they'll push out an OTA with the exploit known and then patch it early next year.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fredrick1213:
First charge cycle after calibrating battery ( ) and my fifth or so charge cycle ( ) For some reason the rise in battery level when discharging popped back up :mad: So frustrating!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
It'll settle. Give it a few cycles.

Congrats! Mine started doing that when my battery went bad. Take your battery out and see if it spins. If it does easily, it's bulging and needs to be replaced.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockypr:
Were did the mass storage option go?

The option was in setting more options usb storage
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fredrick1213:
Ya that's the first thing I did. It's not bulging and it doesn't spin but I think I might buy an extra battery just in case
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] driftinganomaly:
It is gone. Just get one of the usb switcher apps from the Play Store. It is just a minor inconvenience.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockypr:
This one? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.zatta.USB_switch

That is the one that I am using and it works fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caaznkid:
Sometimes...even randomly but usually after using facebook or maps my GPS gets stuck searching and makes my phone really hot. Even turning off GPS in settings doesn't fix it or clearing memory. Only a reboot fixes it. If anyone's got any tips let me know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
Straight up stock. No tweaks. Loving fl16. Ota status here if we had usb mass storage. I am using a workaround. But the majority of sprint users with this phone wont be rooted and will complain like no other that there is no mass storage. If they even know the difference

sent from MY BAD A$$ ET4G
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mayo1024:
I've noticed this on mine too. What I've done is open notifications and do a long press on the notification for the searching gps which results in a pop up that says App Info. Tap that and it will take you into the application management of System UI. At least that's what it says on mine. I do a force stop and it clears it up till next time.

Not sure why or what is really causing it. If you wait for the calculations to finish in the app management screen they are all zeros for me.

Very strange.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sideman7:
So far, I have stopped having GPS issues since installing the restore version instead of the no data option... Battery seems substantially better now as well. One bug I still have, is that the "settings shortcut" widget will not stay on the launch screen past a reboot. I have one set up for the battery, and one for data usage, and they constantly disappear on FL16...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tmeader:
I've had this occur once, even after a full restore Tuesday night. It was definitely happening more often prior to using the full restore version though, no doubt. Thanks for the tip on how to fix it without a full reboot though, much easier.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Same here with the GPS. Worst part is I've had rock solid super accurate until FL16. I've tried gps.conf settings. no less than 6 different gps 'fix' apps. different modems, turning off location services, different FL16 ROMs etc. and still nothing. For me this is a real pisser. I use my phone (or should I say used to now) for GPS a whole lot.

Hopefully they'll break out another build as the OTA without these issues.

Thanks sextape for the contributions. Looking forward to the next.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] colonel.shepard:
It wasn't in ICS ota
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] winfan:
I don't believe mass storage is an issue to normal users. As long as they can connect to their windows PC, and transfer files, they are fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] colonel.shepard:
Pretty much yea buy since it wasn't in fi27 I won't be surprised if its not in jb ota
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] winfan:
Absolutely agree.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Yeah but you can't. At least I can't figure out how. Every folder is empty.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SASQUATCH:
Dl usb switcher from playstore to connect as usb mass storage
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sideman7:
I had this happen to me again last night. Unfortunately, this didn't solve the problem, it just got rid of the GPS icon in the menu. CPU was still cranking away, and the battery started to nosedive. Looks like a reboot is still the only fix...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
So my issue with my cord failing was what I thought people meant by having no mass storage. Now I know that was wrong so what are you guys talking about by mass storage anyway?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jlear3:
Just a way to transfer files to pc. One of many, mass storage sets up like a flash drive if I remember right
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
so I'm on jellyverse (based on fl16) and just posted this in that thread but figures it could be helpful here.. please excuse me if it has been posed before...

so my Bluetooth headset paired fine. and calls worked fine. and played music fine, BUT the on headset music controls did nothing.

SO I pushed Apollo.apk from cm and voila, headset music controls now work again.

guess the touchwiz music app didn't like my lg sport headset.

hope this helps someone.. and please excuse if this has been posted already..

:thumbup:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] uNiXpSyChO:
I have this happen with my Jabra headset sometimes. I would just disable "Media audio" and reenable, then headset controls starts working.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fredrick1213:
Does anyone know if changing DPI using Pimp My Rom will cause market compatibility issues?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
So, I should have done this in my testing for FL16 as well as a few days ago when the subject was being discussed.. My apologies.

The first two are screen shots of FK23 that shows, under settings>more, that you can change USB storage mode.

FL04 is identical to FK23.

The third picture is FL16 and the option is now gone. That's the complaint.

Imo, the more appropriate concern is the file folder listing structure. The fact that, within the phone via root explorer, es file explorer, etc, the contents aren't shown, missing or double listed. Hopefully, this will be resolved before ota or update via Kies..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
DPI changes, from any method, will cause issues. Yes. Various, but yes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] colonel.shepard:
Ota?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
:confused: fl16? Even though it runs pretty smooth I don't think this will be a final build, as MoHo said the file structure is an issue and the data wipe on install would cause riots if the average user lost all their internal data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] winfan:
The data wipe part I think is fixed in the ota file. Its 1 line which garwynn has taken out when creating his oc files. This shouldn't be an issue for the update.zip.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
Any info on this thing you're talking about?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
Just a heads up I am on the s3 now and the file structure is the same as fl16 so I am guessing this is Sammy's new standard going forward. So I don't think that will prevent this from being a possible ota candidate.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
It's going to be interesting to see how the update is actually applied..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
This phone is pretty old. I'm kinda surprised we're even getting this update honestly. We'll see if we do actually get it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
File structure is a Jelly Bean (4.1.2-4.2.1) Google thing.

BTW after a flawless time with this build, a few days ago started to experience LOCKUPS, FREEZES, reboots on calls and many apps force closing. I think it needs some kernel tweaks before ota IMHO.

STATUS:

Stock not rooted used Original tar.

Apps installed. Falcon Pro, Facebook, Dropbox, Es File explorer, chrome, Beach buggy Blitz, Flip Board, instagram, Netflix, speedtest, SwiftKey3, Tapatalk and WhatsApp. Same as always nothing different. :banghead:

But Love it anyways. :beer::D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] colonel.shepard:
How long did it take to start locking up???

Remember ff18? that was OTA despite horribleness
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
from release day to two days ago.

Release date 21/12/12

(6-7 days before started acting up)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] uNiXpSyChO:
I've had this too. I was begining to think it was just me.

I've done 4 complete clean installs (OC-Rooted-Restore version) and a couple of factory resets, with and without TiBu restore of apps. Randomly the phone would just hang, then soft reboot or would require the battery pull of shame. :crying:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
That's weird you guys are having those issues. I'm on the stock tar since release and injected super su myself. Also overclocked with tegrak to 1.352ghz at all times and never once had a reboot. Like I said weird. Wonder if OC has anything to do with it. Nothing against garwynn. I love his work. It's just tars seem smoother for some reason.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
No OC here only pure stock original tar file also I stay away from root and tweaks it bring more troubleshooting than stock also in my case only thing that could make me want to root is tethering and on JB Stock no need to root for that.

Edit:

BTW after posting this Tapatalk FCs on me while taping back. Weird I just cleared cache on recovery and data un most apps via built in app manager just in case and is not helping.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AllenR85:
So I've tried both FK23 and FL16 and on both installs, my 4G doesn't seem to work. I can enable it and it seems to connect to the 4G signal, but data won't work. Tried a PRL and Profile update with it and had no success. Searched the few threads and no one seems to be having this issue. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Are you on Sprint?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] colonel.shepard:
Is the modem matching too
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Here is the most recent FC

Happens with almost all apps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
That's really odd. I've been on the same flash since testing and haven't had one FC that wasn't an app that needed to be updated. Very curious.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] colonel.shepard:
Did you add or remove anything

It happened to me when I removed Firefox beta
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] byrdcfmma:
I too have been experiencing the occasional fc and lock up. One every few day, so no big real. Also, my battery doesn't last as long as FK23. Been on rooted oc no data since it has been available. I might try the deodexed to see how that runs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
And again today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AllenR85:
Yep.

Yep, it shows FL16.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
I find that no data flashes can be problematic at times. Try flashing a full restore and see if that doesn't clear up any problems you're having.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Anyone have a logcat? Those help figure out what's going on...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
Fl27(rdf) dropped you guys think we will get it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] byrdcfmma:
Sorry Garwynn, I do not have a logcat for my issues. They really were not that much of a problem. When I flash no data anything, I expect a few issues. I'm sure it was something left over from the last flash.

Sometimes my phone gets dirtier than a Bangkok whore, :o

---------- Post added at 03:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------

I did a factory reset and wiped everything before I loaded FL16 Deodexed this morning. Everthing seems to be working better including battery life.:good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abodamer:
Back on Calk's 2.8.1. No more freezes, suddenly dead battery or reboots. Was on oc full restore.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
That's was I said it was just a Lowe case l
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Damn it they keep coming.

I re flashed original tar and set up again and after 24hrs they came back most apps FCing. At least no reboot or black screen on incoming calls yet. Looking forward for FL27 to see if this FCing issue is fixed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Are you restoring data from TB?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] colonel.shepard:
Factory reset is my recommendation
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
No because I'm full stock I dont root. I restore apps from Play Store or apk backups from Es File Explorer. I re-flashed original tar also did a factory reset a few minutes ago and still having occasional FCs in some apps. Anyways I'll wait for FL27 to get leaked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Too quiet here, hmm maybe everyone is stalking SXTP forums waiting for FL27. :beer::D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
Does going into settings/applications/installed and clear out cache and data of fc'ing app help? Does uninstall then reinstall help? I'm back on 2.8.1 too but thought I'd ask.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Answer to both question is: it helps for like a day or two then downhill again.

I tried:

1. Reflashing original tar posted by Sextape twice. did not help.

2. Factory Reset via Recovery and via settings twice. did not help.

3. Clear data and cache of apps one by one. did not help.

4. Uninstall and reinstall of apps. did not help.

I'm not rooted not tweaked, nothing tampered, full pure stock with no bloat or app disabled. Nothing nada kaput just pure, extra super duper clean flash via Odin PC.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I wonder if it is the really lengthy media scanning that may be causing corruptions. I know that if I try to access certain apps that need access to storage, it will tell me that media scanner is in use. I reboot often testing things so I hold my breath every time I reboot because I know I'm not always waiting until the phone is completly booted. I'm assuming these issues are with FL16 because I do not recall them on FK23. Maybe we'll get different results with FL27 if it comes along.

Edit: Also, a big complaint about apps is that they disappear. I know this is related to media scanning issues. Some apps actually store data to external SD by default even if the app itself isn't located there, it might be caching something there. XDA mobile is a good example. So I always recommend that if it is just certain apps, try dismounting external SD before installing them and see if the issue resolves itself. Just a thought.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] byrdcfmma:
Have you tried the rooted and/or deodexed versions? If pure stock is doing that, and most people are using the rooted versions and reporting less issues, you should see if that helps. Or at least get a log of it and send it to garwynn or sextape.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] colonel.shepard:
Where can I find the deodexed fl16 tar
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] byrdcfmma:
No one has made one yet, but kobrige has a flashable zip here xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2059714

I have been using it for two days and it seem to be better than the oc I was using.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SprintGalSII:
I installed using the "One Clicks" (BTW: I hope this is not answered somewhere, however I did search, but I assume you must install all 3, i.e., the ROM Kernel and Modem. This is not clear to me)

I have found 1 or 2 issues (the 2 are related) so far with FL16 and one removed feature that I would like to see added back, and am curiuos as to why it was removed.

The issues

When using the Task/ToDo synch with live.com,

You can add tasks on the phone via the Calendar Application, under the Task option (on the phone you must specify that you are adding them to your live.com account) or live.com, either on the phone using a browser or on any PC via live.com.

You can modify tasls on live.com, on the phone via a brewser, or any other "PC"

You can delete tasks " ditto ditto ditto

You can complete tasks " ditto ditto ditto AND on the the phone via the Stock Calendar Application.

1. Since FL04, You cannot specify a reminder time for tasks using the Stock Calendar App. It used to be part of the date popup. Now it is separate and setting it does nothing on live.com. It is always whenever you added the task . In other words, there is no way to pause/snooze a task that has a reminder.

2. More significant. If you modify a taks on the phone, using the Stock Calendar app, other than to complete it, from that point forward synch no longer works. It doesnn't matter what you try, I tried everything, tasks will no longer synch, tasks will not longer be added, etc., etc.. Youtr only option is to delete your Exchange Active Sync account and add it back.

3. Since FL04, they removed the option to attach the phone in MSC mode. MSC mode is far superior for many operations. Why would they do this? It used to be on the list accessed via Settings/more Settings. it is gone.

Otherwise, FL16 is very very good!!!! By far the best for this phone yet, and since the Galaxy S III (S3) is still on 4.1.1 I would say the SII (S2) with FL16 is better than the S3, and since the Swype version also retained the "Voice Input" option on the Swupe Keyboard, it has one other difference that some would consider an advantage.

Nice works And KUDOS to all that put this out there for us to try and to enjoy.

Sprint!!! It is good, and blows the doors off everything previous, so release it ALREADY!!!
