Thanks for this additional info, as I'm only/primarily interested in getting rid of the Audio Cut-Out issue when listening via Headphones (wired) at the lowest volume setting (night/sleep time). I made the previously recommended change from 75 to 80, and while it may have helped somewhat, I'm still hearing cut-outs when set to the lowest volume level.

So, if I try to make your recommended changes above (to the headphone settings only), should I leave the previous 75>80 edit in place or return that setting to its original level of 75?

Thanks for your help.

MEID & Serial Numbers "Unknown" --- No Voice Calls

My phone now also reports MEID "Unknown" and I can no longer make phone/voice calls. My Serial Number also reports as "Unknown". The strange thing is that I still have 3G Data working, but can not make or receive phone calls (confirmed). I flashed back to my most recent Nandroid back (w/the Jan. 12th build) and everything else works fine.

I'd greatly appreciate if anyone could assist me in getting my voice call capability back.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] benutne:
Same here. I don't know what you might have done to break your ability to make calls. Have you tried sending/receiving texts? Sounds like maybe a bad flash? Do a full wipe (system too)?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drk65:
Thanks to both of you for the quick replies. I tried one more full/battery pull reboot before going to a full wipe and flash... and voice capabilities have finally (and mysteriously) returned. MEID & Serial Number still state "Unknown", but I really don't care, as long as everything is working fine. I figured something was strange when I had working 3G, but no working voice... usually, if there's an issue like this, it's the other way around. So, crisis averted, for now. Thanks again, guys!

I know this is a step backwards, but what does the MEID and Serial # under a TouchWiz ROM? I'm wondering if there is something weird with your settings there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drk65:
Sorry, but I don't really understand the wording of your question... Can you rephrase it, as I'll be happy to answer, if I can?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] benutne:
No problem:

If you make a backup and go back to stock (or a custom TouchWiz ROM) you can look up the MEID and serial # there. Those aren't wiped when you put on a new ROM and can only be edited using a TouchWiz ROM. I'm wondering what a TouchWiz ROM would show as your MEID and serial.

I mean, if it works, don't try and "fix" it. Mostly because you'd have to follow safe recovery (SUPERBRICK BUG, WATCH OUT) instructions getting back to anything else.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Just a quick reminder... Don't post your meid number online please.

I'm not an expert of modded Roms and network profiles. But I can assure you restoring to touch whiz will fix it. You should do that and go through whatever procedure we use these days to come back.

Again. Don't post your meid online.

And excuse me if I'm wrong but the super brick bug is painfully old and not something to worry about anymore.

Leaving it on will give you the best fix overall, as to cutout hopefully the values I set will compensate for it if anything, either way the lowest volume mark should be somewhat louder than original.

Anyone having the call bug on this new build?

Thanks for your work dastin!!!

No data and unknown MEID, serial number

First off big props to dastin for his continued awesome work on this phone! I got tired of using the crappy TW rom so I decided to flash this over last night. I first odined back to EL29 using el29 one click, flashed the FL24 modem and the blasphemy kernel and then flashed the March 23rd build. I'm getting an unknown MEID, unknown serial number, and my data doesn't seem to work. I had wiped data, wiped cache before and after flashing the ROM. I'm also on Ting if it makes any difference. Any suggestions would be welcomed! Thanks!

edit: forgot to include that I went back to el29 before flashing the new modem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] benutne:
Format system too. I had a few bug that went away when I did that. Then reinstall the ROM.

edit: I'm also on Ting and I have and "unknown" MEID but have no connectivity problems at all.

If he flashes back to stock, he will need to worry about the superbrick. That will flash an unsafe recovery (stock) which does have the bug. Once he gets back to a safe recovery he'll be fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drk65:
Thanks very much. I made both the 75>80 "General" mod, as well as your recommended "Wired Headphone" mod and am pleased to report that while not perfect, the audio cut-out issue is all but gone. There remains very minor clipping when volume is set to the lowest level and zero loss when clicked up one to the next level.

Clarification? --- In addition to "Wired Headphone", I also saw the same settings for "Wired Headset". I assume the difference is the phone detecting a "Headset" (Headphones w/Mic & Op Buttons), which I do have. So, just on a hunch, I adjusted those setting to the same numbers, as well. It doesn't seem to have caused any harm, but I wanted to check if my understanding was correct and if I should (or shouldn't) have made those changes.

Thanks again to all who contributed to addressing this non-critical, yet truly annoying issue!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] south956:
That is correct, that setting is for the headset with button and mic, it would raise the volume like in the headphone setting. You can play around with those setting to your liking just be aware or going to high and causing damage to ear or speaker.

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] benutne:
Look under "Mounts and Storage". You'll find "Format System" there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jabbajac:
hmm so I did a format system, wipe cache, and then reinstall ROM. Except now a lot of my apps are FCing and I still don't have data. Is there anything else I can try? I'd love to get data working so I can officially use this as my DD instead of craptastic TW.

One thing that occurred to me is that I had flashed a JB modem previously and flashed back to FL24. Do I need to update PRL? What's the easiest way to do that without fully reverting back to TW?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] benutne:
I came off a TW ROM (Project X) and didn't do anything other than wipe everything and install this. It sounds like SOMETHING isn't getting wiped. Wipe everything except your SD cards. Format /system, /cache, /data, /preload (if it will let you, mine errors out) and /boot. Then install the ROM and GApps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jabbajac:
Damn, still not working. I booted into recovery, did a format /system, format /cache, format /data, format /boot, then reinstalled ROm and GApps and still no dice. Like you formatting preload resulted in an error. Anything else I can try? I'm pretty desperate to get data back....just probably not desperate enough to go back to GB27.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rangerelf:
You're better off starting from zero, you should Odin back to one of the stock images and proceed from there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jabbajac:
So something like the following?

1. EL29 One click

2. reboot holding vol up and power

3. install blashphemy kernel

4. install ROM

5. install GApps

6. ????

7. Profit?

Did you try it? Good luck ^ ^

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jabbajac:
I will try that as soon as I get home. I did decide to try something else though. So I turned off wifi, my icon for cell signal turns brownish red? Then I tried to load the ting app and it's telling me request timed out. Pretty much what you'd expect if you don't have data. Then I went into terminal and I tried to ping google...funny enough that went through. I tried to ping a few other sites as well and they all went through successfully...or at least terminal is telling me that. Then I tried to do a traceroute and it's telling me socket: Operation not permitted. I'm guessing I'm not allowed to do a traceroute from the phone? But all in all, it appears that I can ping but my data connection isn't really working? I'm a bit confused.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
You ping with Wi-Fi? Not data? Try to ping ting (probably pig.com but might be elsewhere) maybe it's something up on their end

What's the output of ping?

Orange (I would say) indicates incomplete connection.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jabbajac:
I pinged on data with wifi turned off. oh wait....upon closer examination I appear to be pinging 127.0.0.1 from 127.0.0.1.....that's weird. It says

PING www.ting.com (127.0.0.1_ 56(84) bytes of data. And then the rest of it is the regular ping stats. Well I guess there goes that. I guess best I could do is just wait till I get home and try again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jabbajac:
No luck, still no data. I really really love this ROM. My process thus far has been:

1. EL29 One click

2. Flash FF18 AOSP TWRP Repack Rev2

3. Flash Blasphemy kernel

4. Flash Villuminati latest

5. Flash Gapps. (Slim Kat)

Still no data. I'll try and grab a logcat and hopefully that'll be helpful for someone to help me figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Also, Thanks to everyone who helped!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] benutne:
Skip the kernel. It is pretty broken. My phone process kept crashing on mine. Don't forget you need an ICS modem for any CM stuff to work. JB modems don't work. TouchWiz ROMs don't have that limitation.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jabbajac:
I forgot that I flashed the FL24 modem. What should I flash to skip the kernel. What should I flash right after EL29?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] benutne:
The ROM has a kernel included. Just make sure everything works in your TouchWiz ROM, then flash whatever ICS modem you want to use. After that, flash the Rom itself, then gapps. Done.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jabbajac:
I'll give that a shot. I only flash the blasphemy ROM because people have said that they got an error 7...but that was pretty early on in the thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dirtyhewr:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jabbajac:
Okay I'm kinda confused. After flashing EL29 I boot into recovery and I can't install the latest villuminati or blasphemy from there. What should I do to get this install working? I keep getting the android with the triangle exclamation point
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttakacs:
Don't want to add to your confusion, but ....

Don't flash with TWRP. That's a given. You can get TWRP to work, but don't use it coming from a TW Rom.

Are you able to get back to your TW Rom and get everything working properly? Start from there. Boot into recovery and make a nandroid backup with CWM. Flash the ICS modem FL24, boot into your TW Rom and update your profile and PRL. If everything is still working, boot into recovery.

Wipe caches, data. Flash the blasphemy kernel. Reboot into recovery. Flash villuminati and the Gapps and you should be good to go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dirtyhewr:
Hmmm yea i missed the part about coming from TW... my bad..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jabbajac:
The TW ROM I'm flashing is the EL29 One Click Rooted Restore. It doesn't come with CWM. Trying to flash villuminati results in an error about signatures not matching. I feel like I'm missing a step in between.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drk65:
When I first went through this process in early February, I had some initial difficulties and found the instruction set at the bottom of Page 77 of this forum thread to be most helpful. Here's the text from that post, as well as a link to the page (which has live links to all the applicable files). The only thing I did differently was to utilize the January 12th Build of CM11/4.4.2 and install the latest version of the "Micro GAPPS" (as it was the only version that would not give "out of memory" warning). I actually successfully upgraded 2 x E4GT phones from "Stock-Rooted GB27" to this ROM (which I love... as my phone runs smoother and longer now than it ever has before)! --- I hope this info helps you get upgraded, as well.

COPY

I was having problems, then just went back to stock. I listed the method that worked for me, if anyone cares to try. You could probably skip step 1, though I went back to stock just for the hell of it. I'm on 4.4.1 now, and all is working great.

Flashed phone back to stock using SimpleDownloaderTool for SPH-D710 (Click "Download" tab, file named: Device(Install),Others (Software) (ver.OS Update GB27 (Jelly_Bean))

Let boot, then re-booted into download mode

Flashed One-Click EL26_Stock_CWM5.exe

Booted into recovery

Flashed tdunham's Jellybean Format All X2

Flashed CyanogenMod 10.2 Latest Nightly

Let boot, then booted into recovery

Flashed tdunham's Jellybean Format All X2

Flashed Modem FL24.zip

Flashed CyanogenMod 11 - Android 4.4.1

Flashed GAPPS Google Stock Package 4.3-20131102

Rebooted, all went well.

Anyone else getting the old "my data dropped even though it says full signal?"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttakacs:
The key step is to flash the EL26 stock CWM recovery -- that's considered a "safe recovery" in order to flash Android 4.3 and below. Dastin's instructions for flashing CyanogenMod 11, however, require CWM recovery 6.0.4.0 -- that version is included in his CM 10.2 (Hood Pope). The blasphemy kernel is not broken and will work to flash CM11: I just did it last week when I screwed up my recovery by flashing philz recovery by mistake and had to revert to stock myself.

Thank you and everyone who are contributing to this. Seems to work great so far!!! I follow the post on page 77 all links are still good, I went with micro gapps.

I let the phone reboot and it went into CMW 6.x on its own and then flashed rom again and it worked perfect. Thank you!!!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dirtyhewr:
It's really weird, and extends across all 4.4 roms for this device (for me at least)...

What I have noticed lately is that it really only drops data (Even tho signal icon states full signal) after it switched from 3g to 1x and back... Sometimes after switching from Wi-Fi to 3g, also...

I've noticed it on a clean flash with no tweaks... With tweaks... Different modems... It's really strange... Sometimes it will go all day without a problem, and others it's losing signal every ten minutes (usually if I'm in an area where it switches back and forth between 3g and 1x...

Just putting this out there... Was curious to see if anyone else was having this problem... Other than that, this rom is SICK!

I've noticed the same after using for a good few days. Usually my wifi to 3g handoff is pretty good. Going in and out of tunnels the service restores correctly but I was out yesterday and all of a sudden it seemed my data just refused to work. I ended up having to reboot my phone and everything restored to correct working order. It's kinda weird. It seems sporadic, and ranks for me as a minor inconvenience so I'll keep using this as my DD until the next release. I mean this is infinitely better than the stock TW roms and the battery life is absolutely amazing compared to when I was on the stock TW GB27.

So I'm having some interesting audio issues. I generally stream music from either spotify, 8tracks, or pandora.

Getting private messages about this so I will list my setup:

I use the PegesusQ governor with ROW as my I/O. Seems pretty snappy when I need it, and seems pretty smooth.

I currently have all settings in H~Tweaker ticked on except "Enhanced Performance." You are correct, I have deep sleep set to 5, and have fair disabled. TBH I have not found much information on how this directly affects battery life, but my over night battery drain is now less than 5-10% on an almost two year old battery. I fall asleep to my phone most nights, and it really seems to help when an app, say reddit is fun, is open when I fall asleep. I do not use the CPU tweaks through the app, I use the built in CM11 performance settings.

For greenify I have all user apps except Facebook, Twitter and Snap Chat greenified. For system apps I have any apps that is not necessary to my daily use like Trebuchet, Print Spooler, face unlock greenified. I have a lot disabled, kinda alot to list. All I did was greenify one, if it had a negative result on my usage I ungreenified it... pretty simple.

I use Google Experience Launcher with only 1 screen, and no widgets. I also use a 80% black wallpaper, and I use BlackedOut CM11/10 Theme X by Blackout1911 to have 90% of the phone inverted with a black backgrounds and white font. I have my phone set to max dim almost always, and I also use Screen Filter by haxor industry at night/dark conditions from time to time.

May not be the best for everyone, but it works for me. I can get about 2 days of use if I dont use my phone, but I average around more than 5 hours of screen on time with a stock battery.
