Here is another possible bug:

I received a text from a friend...I am assuming this was a group chat from iPhone, which converts to MMS on our phone, but the text talked about hanging out at 8:30pm. I received this at 9:45pm, then 3 hours later got all the replies to it from others included in the text. Could there be something that is perhaps lagging us from receiving MMS immediately? I had someone send me an MMS and it came through okay, with a lag of about 5 minutes, but this did not happen on CM10.1 & I have only had CM 11 for 2 days - this was the first MMS experience so far. Just throwing it out there for everyones' sake
[Epic 4G Android Development] kstephens98:
Sounds like a carrier issue. I've not experienced this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
In my experience, this is a carrier issue. I used to live in an area that doesn't get a signal from either Sprint nor Verizon, so I had to have my phone in a specific corner of my desk to receive texts. I'd get responses hours late.
[Epic 4G Android Development] epicboy:
When my phone soft reboots (restarts to boot animation automatically) I get force closes of com.process.media whenever I access something that involves the sd card.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
More importantly, is why are you getting soft reboots. Can you provide a logcat after it happens?
[Epic 4G Android Development] epicboy:
Idk what a logcat is. But I believe its because I run too many apps and the ram is used up. I've always had this problem since my Samsung Intercept.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mpannen:
I noticed with CM11 that when I set up google voice, it fails to detect my carrier voicemail settings (Sprint). No big deal, I have that set up already with Sprint. However, I am not able to send MMS messages. I opened the APN settings and noticed that it did have all of the Sprint APN's listed. However, if I enter *#*#DATA#*#* in the dialer and view my MMSC URL, it lists a Virgin Mobile URL (should be Sprint?)

Alternately, I installed a 3rd party messaging program, 8sms, and that appears to be working just fine without any tweaks. It had my Sprint info detected and ready to use.

Is anyone else having problems?

Thanks!

[Epic 4G Android Development] dsmryder:
A logcat is a file that the (I think)kernel writes as it's doing it's job. It is usefull to see what was running and what may have failed to start something. If you look on the market you can find logcat readers that can make a text file to send in.

Although your symptoms sound like an issue with SDCard as the com.process.media will force close upon reboot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
Yes for the MMS problem, but I'm on Boost and I solved it the same way (8sms).

I viewed the MMSC and it's Virgin (like yours), but when I tried going into edit mode I get a modem exception error after entering my MSL.

I'm actually amazed the dialer code worked at all, I thought they weren't supported in CM ROMs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Anybody want? :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] dsmryder:
I do, I DO!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sesquipedalian:
Virgin Mobile is owned by Sprint. It seems as if they're using the same MMSC.

Both mmsc.vmobl.com and mms.sprintpcs.com resolve to the same IP address. So at least at this point in time, it shouldn't matter whether you have sprint or vmobl domains. Same story for mms.plspictures.com, which is the MMSC for Sprint MVNO's. I'm using a Sprint MVNO called RingPlus and in theory should have the plspictures.com MMSC, but I have the vmobl one, too.

I've also had better luck using Hangouts for MMS than I've had using Messaging, for what it's worth.

I am having some quirks using Link2SD. It seems like for symlink'd apk's, package manager is making two duplicate dex files. One with the path of the symlink, and one with the path where the apk actually resides.

In my case, with the symlink in /data/app pointing to /data/sdext2, I get data@app@name.apk@classes.dex and another with the name data@sdext2@name.apk@classes.dex. However the data@app...dex is superfluous. When running apps, the data@sdext2...dex is used. In fact, if you delete the data@sdext2...dex, it will be recreated when an app is launched.

It causes a few problems. One is that the limited internal storage is being filled up with superfluous dex files, causing long reboots and low storage space errors. You can delete the dex files and free the space on each boot, but some things are still quirky for a while, as if they get stuck in some kind of low-space panic mode. The other is that if you clear the dalvik cache, when you reboot, only the data@app...dex files are created. So launching apps causes a long delay while the data@sdext2...dex files are created.

I would think it shouldn't be "symlink aware", in that it should be treating the apk files as if they really all in /data/app and leaving all symlink magic to the filesystem. I don't know if it's generally a KitKat issue or a CM11 issue. I doubt it's a epicmtd issue.

This would be the most amazing thing ever. Getting the color profile support in Voodoo has been 99% of the reason I've ever used a custom kernel on my Epic. You have no idea how happy this would make me! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] didhiy:
yeah, cm-11 will be best rom in epic4g history for me :D :thumbup:
[Epic 4G Android Development] mpannen:
I tried *#*#8778#*#*

switched USB to MODEM, and I was able to connect to QPST and read from phone. Wasn't brave enough to try a write. That code would work I imagine if you wanted to update PRL amongst other things.

Is using ART vs Dalvik stable in this build?
[Epic 4G Android Development] epicboy:
I've been trying out new browsers. One browser UC browser don't seem to open new pages or go to any new page for some reason. Is this the rom? Or the app??

[Epic 4G Android Development] nathan951:
How do I go about overclocking this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] epicboy:
You have to get Didhiy's kernel for cm11. Goo.im/devs/didhiy then go to sphd700 cm11 and get the latest kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nathan951:
In your opinion is it a better kernel then the stock one?
[Epic 4G Android Development] epicboy:
Its not a huge difference but yes, it is better.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Elixis:
Why are these 2 changelogs different?

http://www.cmxlog.com/11/epicmtd/

http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#/epicmtd/next
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Well, you'd have to contact the creators with that question. Neither page is officially maintained by cm itself, afaik. But at a glance, it looks like the cmxlog is more accurate, especially as it relates to epicmtd. Bbqdroid never properly linked to our current kernel repo.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
Interesting that bbq log doesnt match reality. I always assumed that it was a direct export of the actual changelog. Do you have a recommendation specific to epicmtd so we can know for sure what is in each nightly?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffreyjicha:
In CMUpdater, you can tap on the nightly to view the change log and then just scroll down to the subsection labeled /samsung/epicmtd to see changes specifically for the epic
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
Found a bug...

I'm not getting voicemail notifications unless I reboot my phone.

I installed the 1/13 nightly this morning and when the phone finished rebooting I got a VM notification from one left on Saturday afternoon.

Just tested again by leaving myself a VM, waited 10 minutes without receiving a notification so I rebooted. Sure enough, VM notification appeared after reboot.

I have verified that notifications are turned on in the Dialer settings, and even cleared Dialer cache.

It's obviously partially working since I get a notification after reboot, but something appears broken during normal operation.

FWIW - The notification doesn't go away after I delete the VM either, I have to manually swipe it away.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaKillaWilla:
I had the same problem with Supernexus. I never did figure out a fix for it. Hopefully somebody else can.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Snoshrk:
Latest NIghtly 1-13-14 GPS?

Is anyone else having issues with GPS not working on the latest nightly?

Thanks

Sno

UPDATE: Nevermind...the 1-14 nightly seems to have fixed my issues :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Testers wanted.

Here's a build with a potential fix for mms. Please test sending and receiving mms (picture texts, etc).

For your trouble there is also the initial display calibration options (Settings -> More).

Thanks :)

EDIT: cm-11-20140114-UNOFFICIAL-epicmtd.zip
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
Downloading now for testing, but can you explain what the fix is?

If it just changes the default MMSC from Virgin to Sprint it may not help me since I'm on Boost.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XXCoder:
I notice that my phone bluetooth will restart each time I attempt to pair it with my ODBII bluetooth module. I'm not sure what is going on. Let me know if you needs logs and such, and also tell me how to get what you need.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
It's actually a revert of this patch (http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/55832/). No changing of APNs was done.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
No love here on Boost, a picture message just stalls out "SENDING"...

FWIW - 8SMS works just fine, but it has a lot more configuration options that might be FUBAR in the default phone settings.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
It's actually working for me now, but i'm still on sprint, fwiw
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Another MMS test build.

cm-11-20140115-UNOFFICIAL-epicmtd.zip

This one also seemed to work for me, but it uses a simpler patch (there's a reason the other one was reverted). Please test and let me know if mms is working and/or if anything else breaks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
Downloading now.

EDIT: Same results. Sticks on "SENDING".

I even tried disabling WiFi to make sure that wasn't a problem, but same results.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Well, I have no way of testing for boost, but you can provide a logcat (both normal and radio) and I could take a look. You should email them to bbelos@cyanogenmod.org if you do because there could be personal info.

I'd like to hear from someone on sprint as well.

brian - both builds work for me on Sprint. I loaded up 114 yesterday, and some older MMS messages got sent immediately (requiring me to do some explaining to people).

115 also works send/receive as well. I have had 3 random shutdowns on 115 though. Not sure why yet. I'll change the battery out to make sure its not that.

[Epic 4G Android Development] nathan951:
Bluetooth is spotty at best. When streaming media it turns off/on quite often and some times, but not often it will lock my device. I really which this could be addressed as its the biggest issue with this rom.

Don't want to sound ungrateful, this is a great rom!

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] XXCoder:
Yeah it's great rom, battery lasts quite a while! Pretty good feat on phone with crappy battery. I just hope this issue gets resolved eventually.

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nathan951:
So I was trying to use an old phone as a VoIP SIP phone for one if my employee's. I was using the stock "phone" app. which works great, but after a 2-4 hours of not using the connection it looses connection/registration. I was talking to my viop provider, they said to change the refresh time connection setting. They said on their end it looked like it was set to 36000 seconds. I know its not them because my other sodtphones and pap2 device works great.

I was wondering if anyone knew what file this setting would be hiding in?

Anyone looking into using your old phone with a cheap VoIP service with unlimited sip devices connected to one account for under $5 check out VoIP.ms
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
Probably not the answer you're looking for, but I've had much better luck with CSipSimple than just about any other VOIP app on several android phones.

And you're right, Voip.ms rocks.

I'll work on pulling a logcat (dl'ed CatLog) today. The phone went stupid last night when I re-installed 0115 and I ended up spending almost an hour screwing around with backups trying to get back running.

Stupid question (maybe), but will CatLog do the job for both logs or is there a better way? It's been a long time since I pulled one (XDAndroid/OMGB on HTC TP2 days), so I'm a bit out of practice. :laugh:
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
I've not used CatLog, so I can't say. I like to use SysLog, created by our good buddy Tortel. You can grab the logs and then immediately share them from the app. Try to get the logs as early as you can after booting up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
OK, I grabbed Syslog instead. Set Messaging as the SMS app instead of 8SMS and rebooted the phone so logs would be as short as possible.

Went to Messaging, sent a pic message to my email account and it freaking worked this time.

So I removed 8SMS completely (just in case there were any settings shared between them), rebooted and successfully sent another pic message to my email account.

Final test, I sent an email with pic attached to my phone and it worked.

Not sure what the problem was the first time I loaded 0115, but it's definitely working now.

Thanks!!! :good::good::good:

Totally OT - I jumped the gun earlier when I said KK had added messaging to my car radio. The radio and phone both "think" they are communicating, but nothing actually happens.

For example, I can (in theory) now compose and send SMS from the radio. When I click send it appears to send the message (no errors on radio or phone) but nothing actually happens. It also looks like its downloading messages from the phone when it initially connects, but no messages appear on the radio.

I get a banner in the notification area about "Message Access Profile" being active, so the phone thinks the connection is set up too.

I know BT isn't ready for prime time, but is there anything (logs from the phone) that might help get this working?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
bbelos - I've started noticing some data/wifi weirdness with 0115.

Phone (icons) say I'm connected to WiFi at work (after WiFi home, 3G car) but I'm not getting data (no emails, browser just sits there, etc).

If I toggle WiFi off and on again it starts working.

Not sure if this is ROM or your MMS fix, but I'll keep an eye on it after I go out for lunch.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
So, wifi works when you first turn it on. When you leave wifi range, 3g data works? But then when you re-enter wifi range, data stops working until you toggle wifi? Is that reproducible or does it only happen sometimes?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
Looks like the answer is "sometimes".

WiFi was working when I went out to lunch, phone switched to 3G while out and now in the office it's back on WiFi and emails are coming through.

This morning I had the same WiFi->3G->WiFi (home, road, office) and at some point after getting in I noticed I wasn't getting emails coming through. Checked and browser was also not working. Toggled WiFi off for about 10 seconds, then back on and everything started working again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dfrhodes:
Yeah, sometimes you have to toggle 3g/data. Not just after wifi but also if you slip down to 1x
[Epic 4G Android Development] epicboy:
I think that the default Launcher3 should have the swipe left to right to open google now. Just like the google experience launcher. I really like the 5 x 5 app drawer rather than the 4 x 5 google experience launcher.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
You know CM isn't allowed to integrate GAPPS as a part of their package/source, so integrating Google Now (a part of Google Search, in GAPPS) is not a viable route. Plus, not integrating that makes Launcher3 so lightweight.

How does CM11 nightly look? Is it stable enough with same or better battery life to jump over from 10.1 12/8/2013 nightly? Tried it a few weeks ago but got phone process, etc. errors.
[Epic 4G Android Development] epicboy:
I like cm11 nightlies better than 10.1 nightlies. You should probably backup everything then wipe everything. It uses different sizes for the partitions. If it still has errors try to fix permissions.

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 PM ----------

I was thinking more like a setting to allow it. Knd of like the "verify apps" setting. Where you can toggle it on or off once you have google search installed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Elixis:
This has been happening since CM 10.1 - I get the same thing on this ROM too. Facebook app will say no connection as well. Same problem with emails not coming in, then a flood comes in when you toggle wifi off/on...
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
bbelos - I see this patch is still "review in progress", any idea when/if will it be incorporated into the nightly builds?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dante of the Inferno:
I myself never had this issue on 10.1, but I have been getting it daily, if not more so, on CM 11. I rarely have wi-fi turned on, and toggling Airplane Mode also seems to do the trick. This issue may be related to Data vs Voice, since the Epic has to switch between the two during calls. That said, I'm not sure if unanswered incoming calls can trigger this as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] epicboy:
Would I be able to port carbon rom from the galaxy s2 over the latest nightly?

Here's another build with the mms test patch (and the display calibration settings). cm-11-20140121-UNOFFICIAL-epicmtd.zip I'd like one last round of tests on it. As long as it fixes MMS, and doesn't break anything else, then I'd like to get it merged. Those of you commenting on the 3g/wifi data dropping, that happens even in builds without the mms patch right? Just want to make sure it's not the cause.

I haven't noticed the wifi/3g issue lately, but this past weekend I was on extended periods of one or the other instead of bouncing in and out.

Perhaps my memory is shot and I am remembering something wrong then! You're lucky that you got your phone and got to update to Froyo right there & then. Every phone that originally shipped with DG27 was unable to use the updater to get to DI18. You either had to return the phone or use Odin to get past that bump! Further, We did not get Froyo until the following March and until then, everyone here was going insane about how we are way behind and we need Froyo.
