<br />

<br />

My apologies. Something must have re-broken with some of the other merges yesterday. I'll have to look them over some more.<br />

<br />

In the meantime, here's my test build from yesterday for anyone interested. http://d-h.st/CHe<br />

- Heads up: It contains the color calibration, the cma patches for 408MB ram, possibly fixed roaming mode menu & not sure what else :p (no wimax)[/QUOTE]

Dirty installed the experimental and i do have non wifi data on sprint. When using the voice dialer to open APN settings however, I have a blank screen. Just to confirm, I did a nandriod restore to the 0125 build and confirmed it did have sprint listed. Clean upgrade back to experimental and still not there.

Fyi...
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
I wouldn't be concerned with a blank APN screen if everything is working.

For those of you who need to modify the APN for other carriers, there are plenty of other methods available.

Freeze up on cm-11-20140321-NIGHTLY-epicmtd.zip install

Well, this is a first (for me): when I try to install the cm-11-20140321-NIGHTLY-epicmtd.zip, it is locking up on me every time.

(Phone freezes up on the initial Samsung/Cyanogenmod screen, and never gets to the blue "spinning arrow" Cyanogenmod logo)

I'm able to go to recovery and re-install cm-11-20140320-NIGHTLY-epicmtd.zip with no problems, but something does not like 0321...

Have tried a few times, but no luck... was wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue with cm-11-20140321-NIGHTLY-epicmtd.zip?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Yeah, there were a bunch of sepolicy merges yesterday that are preventing boot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Luthiensdad:
Got it to boot okay using Didhiy's 3/15 kernel, just an fyi
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Good point. you could drop in a kernel from the 3/20 nightly and it should work. Otherwise wait until tomorrow's nightly, it has been fixed: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_system_core/commit/647ceac5c36327281cb0bab7b4fe5cf784fbba9d
[Epic 4G Android Development] epicboy:
Was hdr taken off from the camera app? I'm on the 03 03 nightly. I don't see the option of hdr.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
As an fyi, since installing the experimental, I have had a couple of outbound calls where I could not be heard...but others went through fine. The ones that didnt work were both bluetooth calls. They called me back so I know the headset works.

Also on bluetooth using the voice dialer, i no longer get spoken confirmations.

The above calls were placed with voice dial. Maybe a connection?

I will let you know if this continues and if I can replicate on demand.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Well I never used a bluetooth headset with this phone but I had outbound call issues. I'm still on the Jan. 25th Nightly, on Cricket.

Wait a second, is anyone else on Cricket? I see a lot of Sprint and Boost Mobile being mentioned, am I the only one on Cricket?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
So there's been a lot of updates since [MENTION=4000778]bbelos[/MENTION] put up the experimental last week. Anyone try any of the newer nightlies?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Arson Smith:
I keep up current with the nightlies (every night) via CyanDelta, and have for quite a while... works out pretty good for me, so far...
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Awefully quiet in here, everything must be working? :)

I know the outgoing call audio is still hit-or-miss, I just haven't had time to debug it yet. It doesn't appear to have anything to do with bluetooth, since i can reproduce it for regular calls. And by reproduce, I mean, repeatedly calling until audio works or doesn't work. Otherwise it appears rather random, although I don't usually have to reboot to fix it, it just works when it wants to.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
Not everything, but pretty darn stable. I haven't had call audio issues in quite a while, so either it's random enough to miss me or I just don't make enough calls to run into it anymore.

The only thing left that I would really like to see working is Bluetooth MAP. It connects OK (or appears to anyway), but it's not actually functional.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Unfortunately, I don't really have any way of testing this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vaximily:
TL:DR

Have an old Epic I just dusted off that's still running CM7. I need it for two very specific tasks and I'm wondering if you all can direct me to what's going to have the best performance / stability mix (CM10 / CM11).

1. Emergency Phone Calls / Backup Phone if my modern phone explodes.

2. Ingress (again, probably just as a backup, but this is really wear the performance becomes a key factor).

So what would your recommendations be?

Thanks for all that you do! :good:
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
Is there anything I can do/provide (logs or ???) that might help?

I have Syslog installed already and BT pairing works fine with my car radio.

I get the MAP check box in settings on the phone when they are connected, but only the audio boxes when they are not connected. It just doesn't appear to actually pass messages back and forth.

:good:
[Epic 4G Android Development] Elixis:
One of the original issues with CM11 is still around, although it's nothing severe, its a bit of an annoyance. If you reboot the phone or unmount the SD card, the icons for the apps installed on the SD do not stick to any of the homescreens and must be re-organized after bootup or after the card is unmounted.

I have not had a chance to install the latest nightly to test the data bug. I am currently on 03/19 - after I installed this, I had to modify the build.prop because data did not work. Hopefully it is fine with the latest nightly. I will download it when it releases later on and report back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vaximily:
Thanks for the input! I don't think I'll mind icons moving around as there will probably only be 2 or 3 apps installed anyway (Ingress). With that said, is CM11 going to give me enough of a performance boost over CM10 on this device to make that small risk worthwhile?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Elixis:
Besides that issue and if the data issue is resolved, it is certainly worth moving to. Everyone seems quite happy with it, as I am as well. Even if the data bug is still present, the fix is extremely easy..takes 30sec if you have the build.prop editor. However, I have not seen complaints about it persisting lately, so I am assuming that it has been patched.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
Hey stranger. Understood the time thing. Running the 0326 nightly. Here is my report:

1. APN settings still empty, but 3g data works fine with clean install without having to set them manually. NBD.

2. Had troubles initially discovering BT, but paired after bouncing BT. Havent had issues since. NBD.

3. Still using nova launcher so I dont know about the SD mounted icons going away on boot. Nova keeps them all, and i like its feel, backup, and restore of the desktop and widgets.

4. MMS settings dont crash MMS anymore. Good!

My only complaint is spoken confirmations (where phone talks through bt headset saying who it is calling) are still not happening with BT voice dial.

I also bought a motorola s10 (?) stereo headset thinking it would work, but apparently this uses a special BT mode that isnt supported on the Epic. I was hoping this would be supported via software, but could never find it to pair. Havent looked into it much though...

Looking forward to 4g. Think I will hold off on the s5 cause a lot of good things are in cm11 now thanks to you and the small but dedicated group of epic diehards out there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] T3kB0i:
I can't believe the support for this device! You guys are awesome!

I love the keyboard on this thing, and if I can get KitKat on it, what a delight!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Elixis:
This thread is for CM11 - which is KK
[Epic 4G Android Development] Elixis:
bbelos - I just installed the latest nightly and data is broken again. Just a heads up. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] T3kB0i:
I know that, I'm just surprised/overwhelmed/overjoyed at the support this 3.5 year old device is having!
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Try deleting the telephony.db. I don't even know what changed recently, but I just tested it. My steps:

- My data was working. I flashed the 3/29 nightly. Broken data.

- Turned on airplane mode.

- Delete /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/database/telephony.db & telephony.db-journal

- Reboot

- Turned off airplane mode, working data
[Epic 4G Android Development] Elixis:
That worked - thanks so much!

Metro3g not working

I have this phone flashed to MetroPCS. I had clean gb running, and then I saw this thread. My first attempt to flash this phone to KitKat failed, and I was stuck at the boot screen. Eventually I was able to go to stock using Odin. Then I installed cwm, and attempted again. This time that worked. 3g has not worked, but worked in the previous rom.

I used the backup, and went back to clean gb just so I backup the apn settings. Then flashed back to the 3/31 nightly, and I learned how to get apn app to work in kitkat. I even manually updated the PRL. I now have the 4/1 nightly, and still no 3g.

Can someone tell me what I need to do?
[Epic 4G Android Development] InfDaMarvel:
I recommend trying what was said right above you or another nightly or possibly more stable snapshot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Maverick923:
Thanks for the reply, but I tried what was in the above post. I guess I should have added that. Perhaps a new nightly would work, but there are a few. Does anyone have any idea on the best one to try?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
If its still up, the 0326 nightly has data working out of the box on sprint, BUT, the apn settings dont show up for me like they did with older nightlies. About a month ago, I posted a link to the Jan25 nightly which was solid from that perspective. The link should still be good.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Maverick923:
Thanks for the tip! I will give it a go, and report back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Maverick923:
I tried the 1/25 nightly and still no go. I had a look at the APN's, and this one has APN's. The latest nightly did not as I recall. I attempted to create a new APN for Metro and it would not save. After fooling around, I discovered that if you touch the MNC on any of the APN's, they erase. It was really annoying to have to continue to enter the APN. In either case, my data still does not work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Elixis:
Try doing it the above procedure that bbelos mentioned again and making sure that you delete both files mentioned, and all the steps follow in said order. My data refused to work for a long time until I did that. If that does not work, download the build.prop editor from the market and go to page 59 and use the method listed in there by changing the numeric value mentioned. You should get data through one of those methods.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Maverick923:
I went and edited the build.prop to "ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=310027" and "ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=MetroPCS", and I deleted both of those files. Still no 3g. I flashed back to Clean GB, and 3g works. I checked the apn, and there was nothing special added. Which would make sense because I don't remember messing with that. What else can it be?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Elixis:
I don't think that you should have changed operator.alpha. Hm. I am unsure at this point. Hopefully bbelos will cruise by this thread again and have some kind of idea or perhaps someone else will know the answer. I tried!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Maverick923:
Well thanks for your help anyway. It's too bad that I can't see what's going on so I may have an idea of maybe how to correct it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
I sent you a pm with a potential solution, but I'm assuming it either didn't work for you or you didn't want to bother trying it since you don't know me. :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] Maverick923:
I am sorry, but I did not notice I had a pm. I did try it, and the results were the same. Thanks for trying. Do you have MetroPCS?
[Epic 4G Android Development] selivanow:
Not Roaming?

Hey Guys and Gals-

Finally moved off of the 1/25 build and onto the 4/3 build. I have DATA! Woot! It even seems (very subjective) to work a bit better.

One thing that has not been working for me since the move to CM11 is roaming. If I go into Mobile Networks->System Select and change it to "Auto: Domestic Roaming" nothing happens. If I go back I see that it has reverted to "Home Only" again. I know that roaming isn't working because I travel into a few areas that do not have Sprint service and are covered by Verizon and I receive a constant "Searching for Service" error.

This has been consistent for me on all of the ROMS I have tried,

Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] didhiy:
afaik there's a patch from mkasick submitted to gerrit related to roaming, not merged till now
[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
OH YOUR METRO. my bad! it was sprint specific so sorry for not reading completely :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] Maverick923:
It's ok, thanks for trying anyway. I did try the new 4/04 rom, and 3g still does not work even after performing the previous methods. The only exception is the APN because APNS wont save.

Is anyone else using MetroPCS with this rom and receiving data?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
I'll make a push to try and get that merged.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Maverick923:
So does anyone have any idea what I can get from my clean gb backup that would make data work on CM11?
[Epic 4G Android Development] XXCoder:
Just wondering why 4g seem to crash and camera crashes too?

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Snoshrk:
So from reading the IP (novel idea I know :victory: ) I noticed that the wired microphone is "broken"

Does anyone know when the last nightly or even stable release where this worked?

Will I have to go back to CM10? when I need to use it?

Thanks

Sno
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
[MENTION=1155638]toadlife[/MENTION] did a great job with cleangb. Everything just worked. :) When on cm11, have you tried using the voice dialer saying "open apn" then manually entering the metroPCS information? It wont look like it saved, but it takes and will survive a reboot. Ymmv

---------- Post added at 09:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 AM ----------

4g is disabled for now. Camera opens fine for me. When are you seeing it crash?
[Epic 4G Android Development] XXCoder:
When I run anything that uses camera. Even ZVRS.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
Sorry, but I do not use that, nor am I finding any camera crashes. I used MMS to take a picture, and it worked fine. If you go directly into the Camera app, does it still crash? If so, you may want to try wiping data and cache for the camera app, and work up from there (wipe davvik, cache, data) up to a clean install. If not, maybe the dev of ZVRS might help out? Sorry...
[Epic 4G Android Development] XXCoder:
Read my post bit more carefully, I said all apps that use camera, but I specifically wiped app cache and data and it worked. Thanks! I then tested ZVRS app and it worked. I guess it depends on camera.

Anyway problem solved! Thanks again. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
Umm...you're welcome. Your first post said that 4g and camera crashed. Yes, i read the part in your next post of the apps that USED the camera, which is why i tested mms - which used the camera. Anyway, all is good. Take care.

Can't see APNs screen

I just updated to 04/06 nightly from the 03/24. I tried to go into APN via the Voice Dialer. All that I get is the settings wheel icon, APNs, & the add icon & settings bar at the top, and nothing else. Anyone else getting this, or know how to fix it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
Its been this way for a couple of months now. Hope they correct but at least data is working. Maybe its just a visibility issue. Dont know...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Maverick923:
Thanks for the reply BillyBob. I tried the new build for 4/8, and I also did a wipe. I made the new APN which then did not appear, and did a reboot. Still no data. Any other ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
Sorry man. Maybe someone else can chime in...
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
Its been fun everyone, but I just ordered the S5. I truly appreciate the hard work by all the devs and devoted community that is keeping this phone alive and well through 5 generations. You guys are amazing.

PM an offer if anyone is interested in my epic, car dock (by samsung for the epic), external charger, and extended battery. All are like new and clean esn.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
I still use my Epic as a GPS with Copilot Live and appreciate all the work still going into this device! Thanks bbelos!
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
I take it that copilot doesnt need a data connection, and you are running from a map file? I just might do that too. Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
Correct! It's not the prettiest or easy to use but gets the job done for me at minimal cost.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
One thing I'm curious about is does it still have turn by turn navigation without data, or does it simply give you accss to a map without data?
[Epic 4G Android Development] spartasr:
Any more news on this?

I would love to give it a spin as I haven't updated my version of CM11 since the early January builds:p
[Epic 4G Android Development] Maverick923:
Does CM11 come with a new modem for the epic? or does it use the same one that was in GB?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
No modem included. Uses the one you already have.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Elixis:
I am on the 04/12 nightly, whenever I go to pull down the dropdown menu at the top, most of the time, my phone freezes for about 10 seconds, then reboots itself. Not only does it reboot, but it is stuck on the CM logo screen spinning around. I have to pull the battery out and by that time, my battery has almost completely drained. Anyone else having this issue?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
I'm on 4/13 and not having that problem, although I have had some other random behavior including at least one unexplained reboot.

And there is something wrong with the APNs, it refuses to create new ones or display existing ones. Dirty flashing keeps my APN settings, but I'm pretty sure I'll be locked out if I try to do a clean setup.

Sadly CM11 seems to be getting less stable for me, I'll see where it goes for a while longer but may need to drop back to ICS or GB since I need my phone to be reliable.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Maverick923:
Thanks Billybob. I was asking because I read that if you change your modem, you need to provision you phone again. I really did not want to do that, but I do recall checking those settings, and they were all present. I am still working on trying to get data to work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Arson Smith:
Yes, I can confirm that this has also started happening to me over the last few nightlys (at least)...

Something freaks out when I do the swipe down to see notifications, etc - pretty much like you describe.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Elixis:
It seems like the latest nightly fixed the error. I am no longer having issues. Glad they caught that. Try it for yourself
[Epic 4G Android Development] Elixis:
Nevermind - it is not fixed. It was going well for a while!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Arson Smith:
Yeah, I guess I have started noticing a few more things lately (not that I'm complaining - just offering up observations in case they help...?)

1) To reiterate, here is a perfect example of what just happened to me. Reading posts on facebook app, all is well, then close facebook app and see that there are new emails in the notifications bar. I don't know if it is because I am just swiping too quickly after closing facebook app, but the swipe down notifications never comes down, and then it is stuck, and then sometimes the whole phone flips out and reboots. Sometimes this also "eats" whatever custom image I had for wallpaper and replaces with some "stock" image.

2) I think it is somehow constantly forgetting that I have "Agreed" to give permission for "Location" usage. I'll explain: If I try to use Google maps/navigation then sometimes it is not showing my progress (the app still thinks I am at the starting point?) - but if I exit out and go to settings and turn Location 'off' and then back 'on', and only after it prompts me to 'Agree', then everything starts to work again. But then by the next day (or even later in the same day?) it acts as if I never "Agreed" to share my location, I guess. I think it just forgets this setting?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Elixis:
Same symptoms here. I just got a random reboot while placing a call. That's new :\
[Epic 4G Android Development] Arson Smith:
And one more new observation from this morning:

3) I use my phone as my alarm clock. Last night, before I went to bed, I bumped up to cm-11-20140417-NIGHTLY-epicmtd.zip. I tested out several functions (email/browser/facebook) to make sure it seemed to be working OK (i.e. it wasn't hung or stuck when I went to sleep). But when the alarm went off this morning, I was unable to turn off the alarm (or get any kind of screen display in the process) by swiping the "unlock" or pressing any of the buttons, and so I had to do a battery pull.

^ (This has never happened before, but we'll see if it was just a one-off fluke, and I'll report back if it does/doesn't happen again...)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Snoshrk:
try this again (post didn't take)

My observation on 4-17 nightly....

dirty flashed vai Cyandelta w/ didhiy's 4-1 kernel

Nova launcher did not survive the flash....reinstall via playstore...failed with error ( error code was in the "missing" post and I don't remember what it was)

Titanium Backup also didn't make it...reinstall via apk... failed to complete install

nandroid back to 4-15 nightly

Sno
[Epic 4G Android Development] epicboy:
Try to delete the nova launcher folder in /data/app-lib/
[Epic 4G Android Development] Arson Smith:
Bumped up to cm-11-20140418-NIGHTLY-epicmtd.zip before going to bed.

No issues with the phone / alarm this morning. So maybe that was just a fluke yesterday (or maybe just a fluke with my phone, I mean?)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Arson Smith:
This is acting a little different now (a little better), but again, if it helps any, I'll try to describe exactly what I'm seeing as of today:

It tends to happen to me now when the phone has gone to the "lock screen" and the display has powered off - let's say I hit the side button to turn on the display and I see I have a notification for a new email... so I swipe right to unlock the phone, and then try swiping down for the notifications area, but it doesn't swipe down... feels like it's "stuck" for a good 5-10 seconds. Then everything blinks and goes black a few times (I'll see the wallpaper with no icons... then the icons with no wallpaper - black background... then the wallpaper with no icons again briefly...) then it's all back to normal, and then I can swipe down to the notifications - and at least it didn't reboot this time, or seem to mess anything else up - just had to be patient, but something funny does appear to be happening...?

[EDIT: forgot to mention that the problem is intermittent, and not happening every time...]
[Epic 4G Android Development] Elixis:
I gave up and reverted back to the 04/04 nightly. I will be looking for a new phone soon. I do thank bbelos and everyone else for their continued hard work on this phone though. Sometimes ya gotta know when to throw in the towel...Epic was a great run!
