Since your back on 03-30 working right maybe you could compare your apn-conf.xml file to the new one or try replacing the new one with the one you verified is working and see if that helps ?

Could you do me a favor and post the settings you normally have to enter to get MMS working for Virgin Mobile please . Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AaronCompNetSys:
My two cents about this device is that its still fast and on a good ROM works well, only thing it lacks is radio efficiency. Most of my other devices are much more energy efficient doing the same thing on Wifi or cell. Without the radio the device is supper efficient (22+ days plus in sleep/airplane mode). Toss in a extended battery, takes care of handling the radio drain. I actually love the screen, its low DPI and large size is refreshing.

I'd daily drive it or pass it to anyone.

OK, here are settings I used in Textra to get mms working.

MMSC: htttp://mmsc.vmobl.com:8088/mms?

MMS Proxy: 205.239.233.136

MMS Proxy Port: 81

This is on Commotio-B65 build 3/30. I'm in the process of downloading the latest 4/04 build of Vanir. Going to dirty flash it and see if mms works. I'll report back with the results.

Edit: Clean flash or dirty flash same results, no mms no mater what I try. It must have something to do with the way Virgin sets up their mms. I remember from my old Optimus V days we had the same issues when porting Sprint roms.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Ok , I just flashed clean Vanir 04-04 . I'm on ting and have not edited anything . my stock mmscurl is

MMSC: htttp://mmsc.vmobl.com:8088/mms? every time I flash . I changed my mmscurl to http://mms.plspictures.com which is for ting users and mms worked right off the bat . The very first line in my apn-conf.xml file is

<apn carrier="Virgin Mobile US" mcc="200" mnc="053" apn="0" port="" mmsproxy="205.239.233.136" mmsport="81" mmsc="http://mmsc.vmobl.com:8088/mms?" type="mms"/>

Further down in the file I found these two lines

<apn carrier="Virgin Mobile US" mcc="311" mnc="490" apn="0" mmsproxy="205.239.233.136" mmsport="81" mmsc="http://mmsc.vmobl.com:8088/mms?" port="" type="mms"/><apn carrier="Virgin Mobile CdmaNai" mcc="311" mnc="490" apn="CdmaNai" mmsproxy="68.28.31.2" mmsport="80" mmsc="http://mmsc.vmobl.com:8088" type="mms"

Now have you tried creating a shortcut with either nova launcher or Apex launcher to the com.sprint menu MMSCURL ? If you need help with that let me know , its pretty easy but it will let you actually view and edit that in a matter of seconds . The settings you posted look to already be inside your apn-conf.xml file . I'd just like you to verify what is actually set to .

You probably already know this but just in case you don't , please do the following .

1 .Download Nova launcher from the play store and install it .

2. After you have installed it just long press anywhere on the home screen and the nova menu will open.

3. Touch shorcuts , then touch activities then scroll down to com.android.sprint menu , touch that , then scroll about 1/4 down the page to

MMSC

mmsc and touch that . Now you will see a new shortcut on the home screen called MMSC.

4. Touch that shortcut and see what it says . Even though I am a ting user mine shows htttp://mmsc.vmobl.com:8088/mms? by default .

Now I touch on it and edit it to http://mms.plspictures.com , I save it , reboot and my mms works perfect with no apn edited whatsoever .

I'm fortunate that mine does work and hope that yours will too ,I don't know much about any special settings for virgin mobile and as far as i know this apn-conf.xml file is for everybody . It's pretty much a kitkat file to cover almost everybody in the universe from virgin mobile in australia to canada , I do know that MMS works perfect here and i'm on an MNVO so I don't see how it could be fried on the rom .Try that and holler back and let me know . View the very first line in that file and see if it corresponds with mine .I'm also using the stock messenger , not textra , sms8 or any other app .

To give you a little reference I actually use these lines for my Ting

<apn carrier="Sprint" mcc="310" mnc="120" apn="Sprint" user="Sprint" server="*" type="default,mms" password="*" mmsc="http://mms.sprintpcs.com" mmsproxy="68.28.31.7" mmsport="80" authtype="3"/>

Even though my mmsc has to be changed I feel sure my phone is working off the values in these lines and i'm simply editing the mmsc . Also check out the mcc and mnc values as I see different ones listed in your virgin mobile lines up above . Good luck on it !
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riggerman0421:
Just checked the apn settings as you suggested. All of them appear correct. Still have the issue. I can send mms fine through the stock app, however the incoming messages do not download. Textra will download the message in the 3/30 build, but will not work on the 4/04 build. Not a big deal, the 3/30 build is running great. I don't have any issues with it aside from the mms thing, but it is easily fixed with third party apps. I'll keep trying the nightlies though, just in case one of them starts to work.

I just downloaded an app to test it called Z-device and best I can tell its working fine . I can't promise you after you go through it all that your games will play perfect . Both of these are superb rom's and all I can say is try one of them . Mine is working fine on that app .

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
So z device test is a cool app. But it's gyroscope test is somewhat confusing. I used gyro rotate. I could take screenshots but they won't make sense you know? If I tilt my device to the right the cube rotates back. And if I tilt it back the cube rotates. That's not right.

Sorry I'm not replying yet... This is a very old bug and needs really deep digging. Give me a minute while I see if I can figure it out :P

sent from tumblr
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kjricker:
No problem. Take whatever time you need.

I just tested using Android Sensor Box (nice little app). It appears the accelerometer is working fine. The gyroscope seems to be a bit quirky. Even with my phone laying flat untouched it, the sample cube is rotating to the phone's left no matter which way the phone is oriented. The orientation sensor looks to be what might be screwed up. I can't get a level bubble in the center of the scale. It only pops from left to right. Based on the Play store sample screens it should be able to be centered.

Okay, here is something interesting. If I hold the phone up so the back is pointing toward the sky, I can center the level bubbles. If the phone is laying flat with the back toward the floor, I can not center the bubbles.

Using the Gyroscope rotate app, tilt right makes it move down, tilt left makes it move up, tilt down makes it move left, and tilt up makes it move right. Really bizarre.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Have you had this phone long? I don't think anyone has cared about gyroscope since photosphere first leaked. 2 or so years ago.

The link to fix it is dead. And a nitro tweak pack was moved thrice but doesn't seem to include the fix anymore. I think either the last 4.2 aokp build has it working if you really want, if not whatever the last slim ROM was. Out of curiosity, why do you need the gyroscope to work?

sent from tumblr
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kjricker:
Any of the games my son and I play that use tilt controls do not work properly. I'll have to back to JB if there is no fix in sight.

I also use the photosphere in the camera, but now selecting that just crashes the camera app. It is something I use in my work, so I need that.

Currently running Commotio 0408 nightly. Loving Vanir/Coomtio, ROM always ultra smooth. Just an observation, possible small issues: 1. settings/security has been force closing as far back as I can remember, wont let device install apk from unknown sources unless the box for unknown sources is checked, which cant be done unless setting/security works. My work around for this is to install the apk to /system/apps then reboot, then use TiBackup to convert to user app, reboot, then app will install to /data/app and work. 2. In /etc/boot.d script labelled 00vanirnce (which I believe used to be zzafterboot in /etc/initd previously) does not run unless the perms are changed to 0755. This script runs /xbin/vanirnice at boot to renice system.ui, keyboard and launcher at boot, which adds to the overall smoothness of this fantastic ROM. 3. Terminal Emulator force closes, due to its lib file does not install to /system/lib. This is an issue that goes all the way back to ICS on certain ROMS. It's an easy fix, just copy and paste the correct lib file from the apk to /system/lib. I believe this is possibly an apk related issue. Overall Vanir/Commotio are great ROMs, I couldnt run any other! Thak you to the Devs, Monsta Driva and of course Linuxguy who allways contributes with help and tips!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Your saying if you go to settings and touch security to enter its settings your getting a force close ? Mine never does that as far back as i can remember . I change pin code all the time , turn on allow unknown sources without any fc at all . I do seem to recall that happening once or twice way back on some of the first builds . On any Commotio or Vanir build in a couple of months this never happens to me .Just letting you know .

issue 2 will check into this one .

issue 3 - Terminal emulator works fine here on dalvik or art .

You definitely have something going on there . On 3 of these epics running vanir and commotio testing builds all the time 1 and 3 are definitely not happening for me and I'm flashing clean and dirty in every which a way , so you may need to dig deeper into your device itself . Like I'm wondering if you have some junk residual cache or data hung up in it somewhere with permissions that can't be overwirrten or something . Have you tried Jellybean X2 wipe that wipes the preload too ? Soulds like you've had a bug for quite a long time in it somewhere . I'll see what i can find out about issue 2 . Thanks

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
[MENTION=4978274]kvevand63[/MENTION] I concur with monstadriva. Though on my current build I have force closing a bunch of apps about 30 second after boot. And I can't turn off the screen. It's harmless though. I think were on the same build... Let me check. Yes ^ ^ 04/08. Try to wipe everything. And :/ format system.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kevin cracolici:
I get the same thing with several apps force closing at first if reboot but let it run its course and it's fine after that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
I was on a little older build with ART enabled and running perfect . I dirty flashed 04-08 over it , didn't wipe anything and it booted perfect no fc's . Later on the only fc i get is if i move an app to the sdcard with ART enabled then run it that app fc's on me . I move several apps over and only 1 out of 9 did not fc . I rebooted and retried and they still fc . I powered down the phone , powered back up and they all run fine . I tried this twice to the same results . Reboot vs Powerdown . . I was also getting the same results on the older build that had been clean flashed . Wierd huh ....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
So for the first issue he is having it would be easier to move them into /data/app ( saves you steps) and set permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot. That's what I do when an app thinks I care if it wants to be installed or not. Although it's weird this is happening, especially since I think this ROM comes with that setting prechecked. I've heard of the second issue... The third issue, and sorry to be blunt, is not important.

---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 PM ----------

OK I ran the script from the second problem and it reniced a pair of apps. I run it again and it doesn't renice anything. It may be something that isn't necessary anymore.

Wanna thank you guys for answering my original post (#538) with the issues I encountered. I can always count on you. Linuxguy, your were definately correct with the easier way to app install to /data/apps. Regarding the third issue, you are correct, its not that important. Monsta, I will post a log if it happens on the next update. Kevin C, thanks for your input also. You are all great, always read your posts, whether its on this thread or other 4.4 threads. (Sorry for the late reply, just got home from work).

Edit: Thanks for the tip regarding JB Formatt All. Had it buried on my sd card, forgot all about it. Will use on my next flash!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
I'm still concerned about why your getting a force close on your settings menu . My post wasn't about saying mine is fine , sorry yours isn't . It seemed you thought that was a common issue and I just wanted to let you know it wasn't so you could look harder into your phone . Are you overclocking or have you tried Commotio or any other rom etc just to see if you can shake the issue ? I've heard but cannot verify that stuff can get hung over from preload . For you to have this for such a long time going back makes me think you have something thats being retained from way back and isn't getting wiped . Maybe try extracting some new settings apk and other settings related stuff from another rom then delete yours and replace them ? Or else try doing an x2 wipe as it is suppose to wipe preload .

Ahhh , I't kept nagging at me and I found it . We did have this issue back in early Feburary . Gil reported it on page 18 . Go to page 18 . It was anytime you touched security settings it would force close . That's been fixed and gone a long time . Mine was also doing it but it was corrected just a few days later but yet you've been living with it . Dig into it bro , something has been sticking with you all this time . Curious , what gapps are you running ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
It looks like the post I made wasn't made! Argh... Well it was a lot of jargon anyways...

Here is the noneducational part of it...

Factory reset

rm -rf system

Format system

Restore back to stock using kies (the official tool)

And start over. There's a thread to come back somewhere...

Why rm -rf? Since there's a possibility that there is something left behind from previous ROMs I can tell you that this is a much better choice than format. Format anyways ^ ^

Why restore? Because I have a feeling your storages are corrupted. Either the partitioning is off, bad memory sectors, or corrupted memory. Restoring to stock will fix partitioning and ext4 should be taking care of the bad memory sectors and corrupted areas of the disk. The bad news is that if there's too many bad sectors or too much corruption I don't know how ext4 will let you know... and I'm specially unfamiliar with how ext4 handles flash storage ^~^

How long have you had this phone? And how long since you first flashed?

This is the longest we've gone without a build :0 I'm gonna flash 07 and let you guys know if it fc like this one. If not why not call it a beta monstadriva? Or a release candidate. So that new people know what to flash. Most don't want to be on the bleeding edge. And having milestones they can rely in will help. They won't actually be officially milestones but I think it'll help. what do you think?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kvevand63:
The issue has been consistent with both Commotio and Vanir. I run Vanir the majority of the time and I do flash 90 percent of the nightlies (all clean flashed). Funny thing is the settings/security issue never has occurred on other 4.4 ROMs such as Mokee and Villuminati. For Gapps currently I am using the latest Slim minimal, which I have never had a problem with, also o/c and scale 1400/700 (no u/v) with usually Ondemand or Pegasusq governors. I have had this device since September 2012 and rooted it a couple days after I got it. Sorry I brought this issue up, but it does perplex me. Waiting for the next nightly update, if it does still occur, I will do my best to systematically find out what the cause is and post my findings. Possibly, its my device, I will utilize all of your suggestions to diagnose, including trying different Gapps packages.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kvevand63:
I think I found the problem. I swapped the settings.apk from Mokee (which does not force close on settings/security) and it worked. Swapped back the Commotio settings.apk and security force closed as usual. Ran a logcat, this I believe is the error: java.lang.class.not found:didnt find class"com.android.internal.telephony.util.BlacklistUtils" [zip file "/system/framework/org.cyanogenmod.hardware.jar" /system/privapp/.

Yes. Don't worry ^ ^ I think that jinxes it :o. I used to have problems with art but I have been good for dozens of build from this ROM. Make sure you're over 25% depending how many apps you have. There's a website for checking which apps don't work with art but most should work now. It's a dynamic list but I can tell you xposed modules do no work. And may not ever work.

Sounds like both Kevin and kvevand are both using slim gapps . Maybe thats a common denominator as a possible problem . I would give DHO's gapps a try but not on top of slim . They're smooth as butta for me and the guy that makes them programs on these roms so you know he's working on making them jive good together . In your shoes I'd clean it good and start fresh . Unless your phone is defective I don't know . oh and with his gapps there are no storage issues at all that I've seen . Plenty of room to install a whole lotta other stuff .
