do those batteries stick out the back?

And other than twitter I have no 3rd party apps syncing, it's all google. I might try the FK23 modem and see what happens. I ran the FK23 modem and on the FL16 build and it didn't help the battery that much but the whole FK23 package was the best I ever seen on battery life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteZero:
Wow, my phone decided to reboot itself this morning. After booting back up, it seemed to lose all of it's app data. Most apps won't even launch and the ones that do don't have any existing app data. Luckily I have a Titanium Backup from yesterday.

Anyone ever seen this happen? I think I had it happen once or twice back in GB.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Never seen it. Maybe try clearing cache in recovery before using TB? Just a suggestion. No experience to back it up.

Bugging up my phone, so you don't have to!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteZero:
Yeah, no dice :(

I'm just going through and restoring everything. Balls.

Luckily I didn't lose any of my txts, call logs, or pictures. Just app data it seems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] metayoshi:
Finally decided to take the plunge to GA10. I went from FL16 to Pacman 19.2 (with the FL24 modem) for a while, then to this. Looks like this is the modem to beat. I have never had a consistent >2 Mbps down speed on a mobile network before, but it looks like this modem does just that. Hopefully, I can get a better signal at work. It's probably just wishful thinking, but I'm definitely a happy camper with this so far. :thumbup:

Can anyone else confirm the inability of moving apps to the sd card? Or is it just me?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjasinski12000:
kinda the same problem

\

I have a similar problem. I have tried 2 different JB roms (Black bean, and MIJJz Goodness). Everything seems to work fine for a day or two then without warning I will turn on the screen only to find that all of my purchased apps have been uninstalled and it won't let me re-install then from the market. I have tried everything that I could think of including;

removing/re-adding google account

turning signature verification on/off

factory data reset

wiping cache/dalvik cache

clearing market data

I also seem to have a weird issue where my screen will not turn on. I have to hold down the power button until the phone reboots. When it finally comes back up, the battery has been almost completely drained. Checking the battery usage shows a slow slope down where the drain was normal, then an abrupt cliff where there was no stats, and then it shows the current percentage. This has happened on 3 different ROMs (the 2 listed above as well as a rooted FI27 stock ROM).

Anybody have any suggestions/insight?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Apps missing and app2sd issues are common on non stock kernel like repack. FYI.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Thats a bug thats been present forever with the battery, and your phone uses more juice to reboot anyhow. Its most commonly seen when you reboot with less than 50% battery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:

Yes, this is a known issue. And in regards to it happening his FI27 ICS, this battery drop issue has been present since ICS too.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
As far as the E4GT builds go...

The first letter indicates the year.

The second letter indicates the month.

The numbers indicate the date of the build.

In example, EL29 = 2011 December 29th.

FI27 = 2012 September 27th.

FL16 = 2012 December 16th.

GA10 = 2013 January 10th.

Etc etc etc...

Just downloaded GA10 and flashed first issue it hangs on Setup Wizard after entering google log in info [A restart fix that]. 2nd issue Language and Input setting FCs every time I try to access it. [no fix yet will try a Factory Reset].

Update: No FC on Language and Input after FReset then again after disabling some bloat [the culprit is Google Search when disabled, enabled it again and now is fixed] Damn I hate Google Search why? because it always pop up when low signal, and i find it worthless because I made searches on browser and by the way it never understands me not even on Spanish.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MrLint:
OK Thanks, I had guess it was something like that but as g is only 7, I donno how you get 13, but arbitrary start points don't really bother me:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TurboFool:
The low signal issue isn't a Google Search problem, it's a hardware problem. Your phone is auto-hitting the Search key when you're in low signal (it mostly hits my menu key, but sometimes Search). If you're on the home screen when it happens, it opens Google Search. If you were in an app, it would open that app's search function.

I personally find Google Now extremely useful for searching a lot of different types of things faster than I can do for the browser, so I don't see a reason to disable it. I'd recommend playing with it, but merely disabling its feature to listen for your voice, and see. It's the best feature of Jelly Bean.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Thanks, I'm aware of that issue.

Google Now is awesome I know, but for me it have no use, hey but thats for me. :beer::D Cheers!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:

Anyone see that incognito mode is gone in browser? I don't know if it is the tower near my house or the network or the phone but I have to hit refresh a lot on web pages and it just sits there sometimes. Also holding down on a link does not bring up open in new Window choice. Weird, now it's working. Don't care for this new browser.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jlear3:
So you're getting a year old problem on a year old rom?

I understand. After awhile, you might get tired of tinkering around with the computer and just want an operating system or program that works well and isn't sluggish and doesn't hog resources. That is why I like matured OS's. Still being supported somewhat and has many bugs worked out. As windows progresses, it requires more hard drive, CPU, gpu and memory space. There are a few people that like lean, fast and somewhat reliable over the newest thing out there. Yeah this old make and model car may be a p.o.s. but if you take care of it, it'll run 500k miles for ya.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
That sucks. I didn't test it with the headset that previously half worked but I suspect nothing has been fixed in that area. Headset in question, Jabra Talk. I just picked up a sony bluetooth dongle with headphones and fm radio from sprint.https://shop2.sprint.com/NASApp/onlinestore/en/Action/OSBrowseAccessoriesDetail?categoryRefName=Headsets+%26+Speakers&PHONE_ID=DUMSPHP4WIFI&selectedAccessoryID=HSX0600Q_C&topPageNumber=0&subPageNumber=1" I use it to feed the car stereo from the phone wirelessly. It was the only thing they had in stock since the htc music dongle was sold out everywhere. Works fantastic. Only problem is you can't charge and use at the same time so when the battery finally gives up the ghost, the dongle will be useless. Couldn't find the blackberry music bridge anywhere locally. Sorry, I digress as usual. I didn't get much of chance to test other bluetooth headphones or headsets besides my sony regular stereo bluetooth headphones. dr-bt101 or 100, I forgot. Sorry about link. It wasn't showing properly in firefox.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
What was the point of your comment and rudeness? It's a new build and usually everything gets tested when one comes out. I found his screenshot helpful. I get great wimax and would like to know if i get better speeds on 4g too. Not being rude it's just i didn't see anywhere in this thread where 3g is all you can discuss.

Can someone test if the buttons to Bluetooth are working with this build. Last JB builds I connected fine but my buttons for skipping and going back on songs didn't work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
Maybe he was one of the unlucky one's that didn't get wimax?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
I don't get 3G or 4G... My E4GT isn't even activated.

And if my post was perceived as being rude, that's not how I intended it to be. It was more of a sarcastic way of saying that the 4G post was out of place. If it was 3G and 4G posts that would be a good way for others to start showing their 4G speeds.

3G just shows how far Network Vision has come since it first started rolling out and is a better way to show whether or not the network is getting better. Wimax, well it's a glorified Wi-Fi antenna that doesn't really say anything about Network Vision.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
Then I apologize because i didn't realize this was a network vision thread. Maybe the title of it should be changed to network vision. Not GA30 so on (sarcasm).. You guys can be something else at times. However you put it dude didn't do no harm with his post. My mom taught me if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. I agree.. So am I out of place for asking about bluetooth since its not related to Network Vision?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Yes this is a secret network vision thread. No bluetooth talk. Go away. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Not bad for 3 hours screen time. And the 3G speeds look a lot better than they did this time last year... I kinda wish I could test 3G in my area but I imagine it's better than barely getting 0.5mbps down and 0.3mbps up like I used to get.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Every day 3G is getting better and better, thanks to NV I believe. LTE is available in some areas around but not officially announced by Sprint in PR yet. :sly:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JCred:
I've never had a stronger, faster and lower-latency, 3G connection prior to flashing GA10. I ran these from a particularly weak spot in my house.

The first and last are 4G, from the same spot, which was previously a Wimax dead-zone for me. I look forward to seeing how it performs in better signal areas (and if GPS has improved).

Setup: Rooted GA10 ROM/kernel/modem one-click, restore. No additional rom/data tweaks.

---------- Post added at 07:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 AM ----------

In 1 hour it's drained 35% of my battery and is responsible for 78% of the cpu usage. To top it off, I turned off the gps and it continues to search for satalites. I expect a restart would reset it, but I don't like problems that show up unannounced and drain my bat when I'm not looking.

And there may be a bug with apps disappearing from folders on the home screen, I think it happens either on restart or installing/updating (anything) with Google play.

I have been running AdAway since I rooted back with FI27. I had a similar problem. I cleared the app data for the app and rebooted and it worked for me. But that was when I first installed it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reddragon72:
I know the light is off while screen on, but your right I have no charging light when screen off. It flashes for half a second and that's it. Oh well no real deal breaker as I usually turn it off to save battery.

Battery drain is worse than FK24 though. That release lasted me 28 hours once with full sync and screen of 3 hours. So far this morning am at 85% with 1h49m off charger and screen of 17m. Kinda suck'n
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] winfan:
Yes im getting the same issue on the light. Tried the clear preference also bjt same issue. Not a big deal as im still getting the light when I have notifications.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Ok I tried it and when the phone is plugged in and I hit the power button the light does come on. However, I did the rooted no data one click.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
That's how it works on the GN2. LED indicator goes off when screen is on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] winfan:
Now its working in that fashion. When screen is off it lights up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] optimummind:
I can also confirm that battery life is worse than FK23 and FL16. With my normal usage habits, I should be at 85% right now but I'm at 74%. With Calkulin, I would've been at 90%. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reddragon72:
I think I'm going to go back to FK23. The battery life was amazing and as far as I can tell the system still hiccups every so often and I am not seeing anything different. Nothing seems to work better than before so I think I'll give this rev one more day and then roll it back to FK23 and enjoy long lasting battery life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
When are people going to stop comparing battery life to calkulin's EL29? If people can run the old gingerbread as a daily driver, kudos to them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jlear3:
Idc about these roms I just like watching the threads and seeing how the bugs are. Once they release it and source drops the bugs in the release won't matter lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Exactly, they're leaks for a reason.

Battery life/drain is going to be higher simply because the phone DOES MORE, requiring more resources, and therefore, you guessed it... more battery:banghead:

Edit- Let me rephrase that, battery life/drain will be different.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JCred:
Which method did you use to flash and what ROM were you coming from? Back in my EVO 4G days, the 1st rule for (Sense/Source-based) ROMs was "wipe everything, everytime" and it always proved valuable. Touchwiz is an entirely different beast and rather than learn the new lingo and work around the lack of a permanent custom recovery, I just use the no-data one-clicks. This time, I opted for the one-click RESTORE and it was worth it- cleaned out all the leftover ICS system files that remained after flashing FL04 with no wipe. Battery life is better, gallery isn't having to fetch from internal/external simultaneously, etc... Also, RAM consumption is down 100MB+ at idle and under load. Aside from weak GPS, Ive never had any hardware issues, but I have noticed significantly faster/more fluid software response to my hardware commands.

Shorter version: If you didn't do a full wipe, do one and reflash (preferably via PC Odin). :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JCred:
Agreed, I'm perfectly happy with these:

While playing music and consuming the **** out of data the whole time. Im on pace for 6+ hours of screen time. In reality, I'll get at least 4.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] winfan:
I did the stock tar through Mobile Odin. Seemed to work best.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JCred:
Again, my experience with using Mobile Odin is nil (God, I miss Amon_RA for the EVO), but I've seen numerous people advise against flashing the modem in it. Whether this applies only to standalone modem, vs FullROM.tar, I have no idea.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffix31:
its not that you cant flash a modem its just that it wont actually work. afaik it wont mess anything up. Mobile odin is the best. a must when working with these phones imo. dont know where i would be without it. always works perfect. i do have the pro version. :good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JCred:
Yeah, I've read and heard nothing but good things about Mobile Odin, itself, but the lack of desire to learn the nuances of recovery-based modding for Samsung vs HTC just leaves me with no use for it. I've done no additional modding to this device beyond one-clicking the rooted OTAs and leaks. Hell, I don't even know which bloatware is safe to remove without causing repercussions elsewhere. LOL.
