Question about battery life.

Hello everyone,

I've scoured this and the developer thread for insight into how my phone (Samsung E4GT running on Credo) unpredictably gets really hot and drains the battery. After reading that it could be a battery problem I got a new battery from Anker (I had been using the stock battery before) and still had the problem since.

I noticed also that when the phone gets really hot it does so above the battery compartment and checking the processor speed in the Settings -> Performance -> Processor menu would show that the clock speed is 1200MHz. Changing governors to everything but powersave leaves the clock speed unchanged. Of course on powersave it turns the clock speed to 200MHz and slows the phone down considerably. Messing around with the I/O scheduler has not made any difference either way.

I usually leave the phone on the powersave governor for about half an hour to an hour, and then when I change governors after that the problem is gone. Changing away from powersave any time before the magic period will not do anything, bad or good, for the problem.

This happens to me at a frequency of about once every few days, and I've noticed that it's more likely to happen when I'm using either Bluetooth, or the GPS, or both. I realise that the GPS function burns through a lot of battery life, but the GPS only starts this overclocking thing, which then runs away on its own.

I'm running WFTN with the 5th of July build; this has happened to me all the way since I'd first started using it, and once when I was still on stock Touchwiz.

If anyone has any clue what might be going on with my phone, I'd be very grateful. I'm open to the idea of flashing back to stock and seeing how it goes before attributing the processor problem to the CPU governor.

Thank you.

Encrypting device locks it in airplane mode

Long time lurker, first time poster.

Running the latest WFTN with FL24 modem and have noticed that whenever I encrypt the device it gets "stuck in airplane mode". Trying to use the phone results in "please turn off airplane mode to make a call". This is a clean flash (well, my 3rd or 4th by now). I wouldn't know where to even begin to provide any sort of useful debugging info but I do know that all the information is blank on the About Phone page. No MSID, no phone number, nothing. If I boot to recovery wipe and restore from the backup I made directly before encrypting, everything goes back to normal. I've tried different modems and turning on airplane mode before encrypting both to no avail. Any suggestions?

So maybe I'm just a terrible searcher but I was unable to find anything about this on the forum...

How can I enable all widgets on the lockscreen?

not possible on WFTN or I know its possible on PACman.

LZ Kernel

Has anyone gotten Lightning Zap! Phase 4 kernel to work on this ROM? I have phase 2 working fine but it boot loops on phase 4. Thanks in advance for any help!

Thank you for this!

However, with the hacked version, make sure you keep an updated backup of WFTN on the ready in case you accidently wipe dalvik cache during your ROM maintenance.

No data connection

I've been happily using the March 26 build since, well... March 27. I woke up this morning with no data connection. I can place and receive calls and texts with no problem.

EDIT: Curious symptom, when I turn WIFI on, I get a data connection, with WIFI off I get no data. See these pictures for clarification: http://imgur.com/a/7Dz9M

Sprint recently rolled out 4G LTE in my area. Could it be related?

Should I update anything? If so, what?

Things I've tried:

toggling airplane mode

turning it off and on again

removing the battery for 30 secods or so

EDIT: Upgraded to the August 4 build today. Still no luck.

SECOND EDIT: FIXED! Somehow my the "enable mobile network" setting got toggled in my sleep!

Baseband: S:D710.10 S.FI27

Kernel: 3.0.64-CM-g84c11ba

Been getting a low memory warning on internal sd card

I remember there was an option to make the external sd card the primary storage location but I can't find that option anymore. It used to be under ADVANCED ------> STORAGE.

Is this option no longer available?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thedarksavant:
The latest cm 10.1 nightly has it. WFTN is basically near eol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Big Boy Laroux:
He may be talking about switching the storage for everything (not just camera storage). I don't see the setting in official cm 10.1 and honestly don't remember it being in WFTN. I think that setting was last in cm10.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thedarksavant:
You are correct. I swear I saw it under Advanced.

Flashed too many roms over the last few days I guess.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] demetrios3:
You are right that is exactly what I meant. I remember seeing it in WFTN a couple months ago (search the thread for "primary storage") but now it's gone. Did it get moved somewhere else or is it gone completely?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Big Boy Laroux:
I haven't seen it anywhere else. I looked around yesterday. So seems to have been removed completely.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] demetrios3:
That's a shame. I was looking for that feature because my internal SD was getting jammed up and manually moving the aps over is a pain in the ass
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jwhyte:
You can delete advanced settings then take a advanced settings out of a different ROM and push it to system apps. Fix permissions and reboot. Be sure to make a backup goes without saying.

CM 11.0 Bugs & Donating

I can't post in the developer thread as I am new still. But i found some bugs in the ROM. When watching a video from the browser the phone automatically locks. Also when I press the search button on the home screen, it'll bring up the search screen and then it goes back home. the keyboard comes up and everything and then it goes back to the home screen. Hope this helps make this an awesome ROM.

On a side note, i'm planning on getting another one of these phones brand new. Once I get the new phone i'll donate my old one to you if you want. I'd like to support as much as possible. I should mention that the camera doesn't work and the mic doesn't work but it doesn't have a bad ESN. it's a Boost Mobile phone also :laugh: Hope this Helps

VILLUMINATI CM11 Evo 3d 4g First Steps

What's up! I need a starting point so I don't brick my phone. I've never flashed a phone before. I'm trying to flash KitKat on my Evo 3D

I must be on TWRP Q. Does this mean I need to download TWRP 2.6.3.0 and keep it on my SDCard. I'm confused on this.

Wipe everything except sdcard Q. How do I do this?

Flash ROM Q. Do I use TWRP to do this?

Flash GAPPS Q. Same process as the ROM?

I've heard stuff about hboot and that if I'm running ICS I need to downgrade.

Do I need to root my phone?

Thanks for the help. I've seen instructions scattered across the web, but I'm not sure if it's applicable to my device and rom I want to flash, so forgive me that I'm asking noobie questions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 31ken31:
This is the epic 4g touch thread might want to try the correct section of xda. wrong rom will brick your phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Also, to answer one of your questions and give you a starting point that you wanted... Yes you have to be rooted to flash ROMs, you need to do this before you even worry about flashing anything. Good luck and try looking in the EVO 3D forum;)

camera fix..?

i really need help with this.

my camera keeps coming up with 'cant connect to camera'. ive reflashed, wiped cache, dalvik, etc. ive also went back to stock, and copied the camera files from /system/cameradata and pasted them in the cm 10.1 /system/cameradata. ive seen fixes for the s3, but not for d710. any help or guidance in the right direction..??:confused::confused::confused:

Thanks so much for this FAQ thread, this is so much better and less frightening for us noobs. I have already had 2 of my questions answered concerning governors. I love this ROM and want to know what I am doing going forward. At the rate that this device is selling since the price dropped and more carriers making it available there will be more noobs here soon.

I installed FI03 earlier and I just at my phone phone, wifi grayed out again.

I'll go the static IP Route..

I'm not the only person having this problem, I've seen others post about it in this thread. Apparently Nexus owners having the same problem http://www.androidauthority.com/nex...e-40065-not-publicly-addressed-google-154998/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MichaelPDay:
I've had this same issue for quite some time, it comes and goes between builds and roms, for what reason I don't know. I do believe I have found a fix however! I'm not sure which change actually solved the issue, but today I changed the channel of my wireless network to a more open one (using WiFi analyzer), and disabled QoS in the settings (I believe this was the problem). I made the changes because I was having a speed issue, but it seems to have fixed my connectivity issues with my phone as well. Give it a whirl and let me know!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
doh!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] demetrios3:
Thanks for the heads up, I just installed wifi analyzer and it looks promising! :) Though I don't see QoS in the settings,
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
Did the static ip help? That helped a large amount of people in the CM threads which is why I asked.

Also, did you update your router firmware?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] demetrios3:
The firmware has been updated, no help.

I didn't try the static ip yet because I'm not sure how to go about it. :confused:

However I did install WiFi Analyzer, as per MichaelPDay recommendation, and so far it works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MichaelPDay:
My QoS setting was in the router settings under the same page the channel setting was under. It was just a simple check box but this could vary between different manufacturers.

Sorry in advance for the noob issue here, but I need some help.

I was previously on CM 9 alpha 6 I believe. I do have CWM and my recovery showed 5.0.2.7. I cant recall exactly but believe the base band showed EL29 and kernel was FF18

I did a nandroid back, formatted cache, system, and data, full factory reset.

Next I attempted to install the ROM 2/24 version but I received an error stating 4 arg instead of 5, Status 7. Tried this twice with same error.

Was unfortunately not sure what to do next, so I rebooted. I am guessing I should have reflashed another ROM as now the phone will not start up - it is stuck on the Samsung screen with yellow triangle.

What do I need to get back where I was and where did I go wrong here. Will I need to use ODIN to download a ROM back onto the phone?

Thanks in advance for you patient response!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
odin and it was prob bad download
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rgrountree:
Thanks for your help. I was able to ODIN and get back into recovery and restore.

I did download a different version 2/22 and got the same error message ....format () expects 4 args, got 5 E:error in sdcard ...Status 7

Baseband: EL29

Kernel: CM modified FF18

did you check the md5? unless you do that, you can't rule out a bad download. always chk the md5. report back if md5 matches.

Paste your about phone screen shot from model number down.

---------- Post added at 11:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 AM ----------

1. download the rom and gapps to your sdcard

2. make a nandroid.

3. ODIN in the PDA slot this:

http://shabbypenguin.com/k0/ecm/E4GT-EL29-directbootCWM-v3.tar.md5

4. once in that recovery, flash the rom and gapps from step 1.

5. your now running CM.

6. dont install other recoveries or kernels and do not use the rom manager app. It is NOT compatible with our phone.

7. you really should update your modem to something newer. I recommend FL24. It is flashable in CWM if you download the zip file format. Its in the android development section.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rgrountree:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rgrountree:
Thanks a bunch, I assume I should also format cache, system, data, and complete a factory reset before flashing the ROM and GAPPS?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
exactly. you may want to backup user apps with titanium and restore them after. don't restore system apps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rgrountree:
Looking good, appears to have worked so far on the ROM and APPs. I will flash the updated modem as well.

Thanks so much for your help!

I have a suggestion for the OP - works all the time for me, and looks like it has worked for others.

If having issues with GPS locking:

1) Turn on GPS

2) Open Maps

3) Phone will start to search for GPS lock

4) Go into location access settings

5) Turn off ”Access to my location"

6) Turn on "Access to my location"

7) Hit "Agree" on the Location Consent popup

8) make sure both GPS and WiFi location are checked

9) Go back to maps

I usually get a lock within seconds

So, this is my daily driver. I have very few problems out of it. Sometimes my Bluetooth device picker won't show a paired device when I try to send something with root explorer. And my Facebook notifications won't sync to the phone. But anyways, my question is this:

Since there is no flash player support, is this why I cannot watch YouTube videos? If so, is there a way to fix it?

Also, when I try to enlarge my poweramp widget to fill the screen it won't allow it to get bigger. Why is this?

For Facebook - did you restore it using titanium or something similar? If so, sign out of the app then sign back in. That gets notifications back for me.

For YouTube - what are you trying to use to watch videos? I'm able to watch videos just fine in browser, chrome and the youtube app.

Few Questions

I installed the ROM and I really loved it.. Thanks for Opening up FAQ so that myself (or dumb people like me) won't disturb the developer thread.

1) I got my phone to FI27 Root status

2) Flashed EL29 Direct Boot Kernal and clean installed 2/24 ROM

Below are the issues that are persisting for me

What works:

1) 3G/4G/GPS/Regular Calls/ Music streaming thru bluetooth and all other fun stuff/Battery life is great/Phone UI is super speedy..

What doesn't work:

1) When I turn on Speaker phone during the call other party can hear me only if I speak into the phone real close. If the phone is little bit distance they can't hear me.

2) Same with bluetooth calls. Other party can't hear me at all.

3) Listening to music thru headset is little cranky for the songs loaded onto Phones SD card. It's not that bad.While listening to online music or watching youtube music video/pandora songs the music is too much cranky.

4) 4G cuts off when hotspot is turned on. No big deal. I saw the forms that CM10.1 doesn't support it yet. But would love to see this feature.

5) Square Register app doesn't read my credit cards any more... Not sure if its anyway realated to CM10.1. I had same issues with GA10 rooted stock build. Would be glad to know if there is a workaround.

Anyone got answers.. Please .. Please help.. Thanks a million ton in advance for all the hard work you folks do..

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thedarksavant:
1. Known issue. You can search the dev thread for more discussion.

2. I have not heard about this, but search of the dev thread might turn up something. I know streaming bluetooth audio is choppy.

3. I think this has also been mentioned in the dev thread, but I do not recall a fix or solution.

4. 4G hotspot is disabled in CM. Use a third party app.

5. I don't know anything about this one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mastershivakumar:
2. Surprisingly I got no problems in streaming music thru bluetooth audio in my car. I am using Flex Smart 2( which I got from Amazon).

Dev thread is too big... I did do a search thru Dev, but didn't have much luck in finding out a solution.. Thanks for the reply.. Appreciate your time brother..

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rgrountree:
Thanks again for your help. I have been working to get the FL24 modem update per your recommendation.

I went to the modem repository by Rwilco and attempted to follow his instructions. I am very confused however about recovery.

After updating to Wild for the Night, when I reboot into recovery I get CWM 6.0.2.8. Can I use this recovery to flash the FL24 modem?

I tried using rwilco instructions with Mobile Odin and attempted to flash EL26 but the phone will not go into recovery - only yellow triangle. I then had to go back to EL29 (CWM 5.0.2.7) direct boot in ODIN and reload the ROM and GAPPS.

Anything under TBD are my changes that are merged into them. The rest is all upstream CM changes. Nightlies are nightly builds that sync the latest changes from CM (and me if I've committed them) and compile them into the uploaded builds you see. They are completely automated.
