Sensor not working

I am having a problem with the proximity sensor that shuts the screen off when its close to your face.

It's not working for me since I flashed this rom, and yes I wiped 3x and didn't have any roms installed before this one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
We have not been able to reproduce this issue, but our testers will try to do so.
[Epic 4G Android Development] keithlamar:
Ok I am going to wipe again and install the fully loaded version and see what happens.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
If that doesn't solve your problem, try a full Odin and SD card format.
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
Forgot to mention why I asked that superuser.apk be installed in /system or /sbin and not /data. When you have superuser installed in more than one place, it causes performance degradation and battery drain because you have runaway processes pretty much every other time you boot the phone. I left my phone on overnight and it drained about 55% in 8 hours because the the phone was running 100% of the time (not sleeping). I suspect that this is the cause, as it caused similar problems when I discovered superuser.apk was installed in multiple locations when using a different rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Actually, it is in /sbin. Seems I've just left a duplicate in /data/app - sorry! Feel free to delete it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
I thought that might be the case, as I was wondering how else it would have gotten in /sbin also. I deleted the apk in /data/app. Hopefully that will solve my phone-not-sleeping issues. Other than that, this rom is the shizzle. The Emotionless Beast theme, with the updated transition animations, is RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME :).
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
There's actually no reason that should be causing sleep issues - we haven't seen any at all in testing.

Glad you like the animations! Pending user feedback, we may integrate them into a later ROM release.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
What is this talk of superuser.apk being installed in two locations? How can I check and see if I have the same issues as well.

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
You do, though it shouldn't be causing any issues. Just delete Superuser.apk from /data/app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
Any ideas what may be causing the lack of sleep issues? In general, are any apps/system processes/etc. known to cause this type of problem? I can confirm that I was not having the sleep issues prior to this rom, although it may have something to do with the theme, as I cannot confirm whether the issue existed prior to flashing the theme.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
I can not seem to find that folder in /data/app.

I was at home, went into data/app and nothing was there. Not sure what the issue is.
[Epic 4G Android Development] atkailash:
In Tasker I set the condition for "on phone boot", then I have it turn airplane on, wait 5 seconds, then turn it off. No exit condition.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
Ok my battery is half drained and has only been off the charger for 4hrs and 40mins and is almost half gone. very very light usage today. Is there maybe a program running that should not be running?

Anyone know what may be going wrong?

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
What program were you using to explore the folders? Try using root explorer and searching for superuser.apk.
[Epic 4G Android Development] B5Z:
Are you running a theme? I ask because whenever I load a theme my battery runs down extremely fast. I tried the Syndicate theme (loved it) but couldn't stand losing battery life so fast. Yes, I did calibrate the battery but that didn't help. Since removing the theme, my battery life is much better!

Make sure to kill any DRM's that may be running also!
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
This may be due to the accurate battery mod. We may remove that in the next SyndicateTheme release.
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
Is it possible that the polling of the battery would also cause the phone to stay awake?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
Astro file finder
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
No never flashed a theme at all. Just added a picture as the desktop background.

What DRM would I need to kill and would that be under running applications or what?

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
I can confirm that having Superuser installed in both system and data will cause Android System to partial wakelock. Not sure why, but it does, and not just on this ROM, but on others also. Deleting it from data/app and rebooting seems to fix it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] littlepr:
So sweeeeeeeet it makes me wanna cry!

Guys,

Here are a few screen shots of my Epic Beast running Syndicate Full and Emotionless Beast (Emoitonless_Beast_Theme_V31a).

Seidio has an Innocell 1600mAh Slim Extended Life Battery

For those needing some extra juice to run these bad ass romsSeidio has a 1600 mAh battery

[Epic 4G Android Development] B5Z:
I use AutoStart Killer (found in the Maket) and I disable any files that I find that have DRM in the name - should only be a couple files. Or go into menu/settings/applications/running services/.....choose the drm file to stop this from running.

Have you calibrated your battery...if not, give that a try as well.

After flashing any custom Kernal, charge to 100%.

then.....

1.) Boot into ClockWorkMod Recovery

2.) Scroll Down To: Advanced (enter)

3.) Scroll Down To: Wipe Battery Stats (enter)

4.) Done! Scroll Down To: ***Go Back*** (enter)

5.) reboot system now (enter)

Then fully drain the battery 100% -> 0% (do not let the phone turn off) - Charge it back up to 100%

Done! .....You should now be calibrated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
That is done as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tnynyn:
Thanks for the great rom. Was on phoenix and magic asop before. I finally finished fully calibrating the battery. Before that I got ~7 hours of mild usage trying to drain battery for the second time. SetCPU at 1200/200, mainly played games for a few hours and texted. As for next release, any chance we can get the battery %? I like the current battery icon (not the round one), but would like to see the %. I tried the battery % mod on the previous rom and it screwed up the notification bar :/ so dont really wanna try that again.

EDIT* Also wanted to note I've been on the standard rom since 1.0.1 was released. Have no problems at all so far other than the charging icon on low power mode. Headphone jack works like it should. What I did before flashing was wipe 3x, reformat sdcard, flash rom 2x (calendar wouldnt stop syncing the first time).
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
SyndicateTheme includes a battery percentage mod. As of right now, these mods break ROMs (when included) and Nandroid backups, so they can't be built directly into the ROM - and if it worked, we may choose not to anyway as for some it has negative effects on battery life.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 1999TL:
Really? Why thank you...

Thanks! I'll look into that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] B5Z:
IDK - maybe you got a bad flash. Try re-dlownloading the zip file & re-flash.

Good Luck!
[Epic 4G Android Development] surveysays:
i calibrated last night and my phone shut off. is that an issue to where i would need to re-calibrate, or its okay
[Epic 4G Android Development] drakkahn:
4G issues

Absolutely love the ROM! But I seem to not be able to use 4G at all.

It shows that it is turning on, then goes to unknown.

Has anyone else been having 4G issues with this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
Ok I let the phone turn off before I started to charge again. I guess I need to do the battery calibration since I let it shut off instead of charging when the battery was blinking.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
I haven't found it to be an issue.

At least one ACS member has 4G, and it's worked fine. Sprint was having major 3G/4G data and text issues Sunday night through yesterday, and they may still be ironing everything out in some areas.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
I am in the same boat as you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Seanc13:
How do I find and delete the superuser in /data/app?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rturkmani:
I'm having a problem with a couple things. The voice search doesn't work and the market doesn't work. It seems as though anything that requires the data network does not work. I reinstalled the rom fresh and I'm still having the same problems. Also, I can't even sign into my Google account at the beginning because it says that it could not establish a reliable data connection. Any suggestions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
I think there is an issue with sprint and data. I have been running this for 3-4 days an no issues until today.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
10 characters
[Epic 4G Android Development] octones:
Yeah major connection issues at times are not related to this rom/kernal. Sprint and Google are having issues. Sucks since I have no wifi at work. Browsing here on tapatalk works fine but tweetdeck and the market and Google talk are so hit and miss.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
could lookout be affecting my battery drainage?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
If you're talking about this...

Definitely! It's:

- an always run service

- hooked into file system operations

- dependent on wireless network location data or GPS

All of which are major battery drains.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
Ok will remove this as well. Is there any reason to have any type of security on our phone or just be smart when downloading stuff?

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Masterface7:
I am not sure what magic opera uses for there browser but the bad news is i am testing it with other roms, still on the xtreme kernel, and they are working with the pinch to zoom.

I plan on trying out stock plus more customs after work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bdf:
Really like this ROM, cant get the battery % mod to work without a zillion FCs, but no biggie.

Odd, but the Syndicate boot animation disapeared. the shut down is there and the boot sound are there, just no video.

Any ideas?

BD
[Epic 4G Android Development] Seanc13:
Anyone? I've been searching though folders and files for a long time
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Did you replace the kernel or delete /system/media/bootanimation.zip?

In ADB:

rm /data/app/Superuser.apk
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
I have to say that I had lookout installed when using other rom/kernel configurations and didn't notice too bad a hit on battery life, enough to say that I don't think it is responsible for major drain.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
By its nature it will have at least some impact on battery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
Just got off the phone with Sprint tech support they have outages all over the country. No time frame for fixes Oh if you own one of the NEWER airave units they are DEFECTIVE and on RECALL
[Epic 4G Android Development] octones:
My connection issues are strictly limited to facebook, twitter, and to google services like talk and market. I can get to any other website like google.com, espn, and a few others with no issue. Can't get to the twitter or facebook websites or through any app.

Anyone else having same sort of issue? To me this seems rom related at this point and not a Sprint issue unless other people are having the exact same issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
This is definitely not a ROM issue. rjmjr69's reported his data is spotty but working - just like that. Talk and Market are still having issues from Google's end, see the thread in General. Where Sprint data is working correctly, there are no issues that aren't Google-related.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
hhhmmmmmm I wonder where all that data passes thru???? Might be tmobiles data huh

Its funny that I am logged into Twitter Getting GMAILS and Sending messages thru Facebook. But its also SPOTTY thats why I called dear old tech support

We have no reason to lie to our users if it were the roms fault we would be all over it.... Sorry if I come across rude but to make BASELESS claims is rude in itself
[Epic 4G Android Development] drakkahn:
It's not ROM related, I confirmed it by flashing the stock rom from my backup and had the same results. No 4G at all.

I'm not having any problems with any sites that I tried, including talk as long as i'm on 3G
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
:D Be nice.
[Epic 4G Android Development] octones:
Cleared data/cache from a lot of the stock services and it has cleared up my connection for now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Good possibility that bad/corrupted data (including cached DNS entries) was downloaded - hence why that would work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
HEHE sorry your right. But seriously do a bit of ASKING and CHECKING before making baseless claims someone broke your phone..... Ive been a tech most my life and I can contest to the fact that 98% of problems are USER ERROR
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
And provider issues. ;)

Folks, excuse our man RJM here if he comes off as cross... Sprint has left him quite frustrated today!
[Epic 4G Android Development] octones:
True. Just new to android so had to find how to do it all. Now to update and play Angry Birds.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
/system/media shouldn't be empty and in fact isn't (shutdown animation works). Connect to adb, or use Root Explorer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Did you replace the kernel?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bdf:
I dont think so, in Set CPU, I still have it at 1600 mhz.

Is that right?

Kernal is 2.6.29
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
I was asking if you've flashed a new kernel - but given you're still at 1600mhz I doubt you have. ;) What other items have you installed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bdf:
I guess the answer is no, not intentionally...

Just tried to install the battery %, it failed with FCs, and the full charge notification removal.

Otherwise I thinks its stock. I used to have it, then tried to flash another ROM, it would not boot, so I wiped and went back to Syndicate.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Sounds like something got gummed up in the process. Wipe three times, then re-flash your edition of choice. If you're still having issues, Odin, format your SD card, wipe three times, then flash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spitefulrain:
What is the point in wiping 3 times? What do the 2 extra wipes accomplish that the first doesn't?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Clockwork is known to be buggy - usually a single wipe takes care of it, but there's no guarantee. It's merely a 'best practice' to ensure all data is gone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bdf:
It is not that big of a deal, if I could have just replaced the .zip, thats cool, but not a huge deal.

Thanks for the help!

Ill prolly donate, but not if you buy Waffel House with it!
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
If the zip is present, which you said it was, it should function properly.

I try to put donations to good use. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] dwallersv:
Okay, took the plunge and flashed this ROM (my first ROM -- I've been using MixUp on the stock ROM).

Looks really good so far. Two minor problems, one maybe more significant:

After restoring my DATA, I had to still re-do all my 3rd party widgets, basically trashing the "problem loading widget" placeholders, and reconstructing those home screens. No big deal, but I am curious what technically was going on so that this was broken.

Reboot Widget doesn't work anymore. I press it, it asks for superuser, I grant it, then... nothing. As expected, only asks for SU the first time. However, it no longer reboots the phone. It doesn't do anything. Not a big deal since someone figured out the phone could be rebooted with vol-up+pwr+cam. Still, that widget is nice and convenient.

Possible significant issue: I'm getting FC on "android.process.acore". No idea what this is, but anything with "core" in its name crashing gets me nervous. Any ideas, anyone?

Now for the good news. Ran quadrant with CPU pegged at various speeds (set both min and max the same). Here are my results:

1600MHz: 1200 (yeah, baby!)

1200MHz: 997 (what? Mixup was around 1100... what's up with that, Devin?)

1000MHz: 900

Real stable, I like it. Oh, one more thing: I flashed the "standard" version. Thought that tossed a lot of bloatware, right? Where do I go to see this extra space?

Finally, a triviality, but as one who loves good eye-candy, I just adore the Syndicate start-up animation. Much cooler than the stock Sammy and Sprint stuff.

Thanks ACS!! If this runs nice and stable for a few days, my donation is on the way. I believe in paying for value.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dwallersv:
More feedback... The Mobile AP mod doesn't work with this ROM/kernel. Major bummer. It FC's. Since Wireless Tether comes working with the ROM, this is more annoyance than showstopper, but the ability to run an AP from the phone in Infrastructure Mode is really nice.

So, devs, if you could look at this at some point and see if it's not too tough to support it, that would be boffo!
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
Mobile AP does not work on deodexed roms. The only way to have Mobile AP is to have a stock, odexed rom. I believe you can use a custom kernel and retain the Mobile AP functionality.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
This is a known issue with any de-odexed ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dwallersv:
Well, crap! :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ragnarokx:
There's your next challenge guys - get MobileAP working with Syndicate :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] HeisRisen:
Here's a dumb question, how do I "stop" a song in the music player. As of right now I am just killing the process, because pause is the only option I see. If there is no ability to close the program or stop a song and have the process end, then I am removing it off my phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Carla:
DL'ing now and flashing tonight! Very excited to try this and will report my findings! Thanks so much for your hard work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] surveysays:
was wondering if im the only one who is constantly getting FC's from NoLED and Juice Plotter.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Pause in full-screen mode and press 'back' until you reach the home screen.
[Epic 4G Android Development] HeisRisen:
That leaves a "pause" icon || on my status bar, which means the process is still running without need and draining down battery life.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
It doesn't for me - that's "the trick" to exit. If you pause from the pulldown it'll stick there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
From my earlier statement about DATA issues

http://www.androidcentral.com/sprint-says-data-problems-subsiding

"Starting Monday afternoon, some Sprint smartphone users did experience problems accessing the Internet and using some 3G data services due to reprovisioning and firewall issues. This impairment has been resolved as of this afternoon and all impacted customers should be should be experiencing service as usual."
[Epic 4G Android Development] Liquicism:
I'm having trouble finding solid info on if 4g works in this rom. I heard that 2.2 didn't have support for the 4g radios, is this still true? I notice the icon is absent in the screenshots.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
4g works just fine

Aww that sucks well I guess ill just do it myself hope you have plans to make it in the future tho cuz there is only one aosp rom out there for the epic!

[Epic 4G Android Development] Dulanic:
I scanned to make sure noone responded and I didn't see anything... is it known the 4 keys on the bottom no longer are tied to the keyboard backlight timeout setting? This used to be the one way we could keep those tied to the screen backlight and it is no longer working. Guessing that my be kernel vs rom tho.

Seems to only happen while on battery power tho not during charging.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thegameksk:
What kind of battery life is everyone getting and how much are you using your phones to get this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
A theme does not an AOSP ROM make. ;)

I'm not sure what you mean, could you clarify some?
[Epic 4G Android Development] wjsmaggle:
I thought I would let everyone know I was getting horrible battery drain on standby (10% an hour) but I tried two things and now it's fixed. I removed the acs theme despite the fact that I loved it and I removed the extra Superuser.apk. Battery drain is back to 1% an hour on standby.

Also, I think I may have found a bug. In swype when I double tap on a word to correct it, once I choose the corrections it leaves the original wrong word and adds the corrected word to the end of the sentence. It doesn't happen all the time but it has happened to me a few times now. It's not even really an annoyance if it can't be fixed I just thought I'd point it out!

Sent from the fastest phone in the galaxy
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
The next release of SyndicateTheme will not have the battery mod, which should take care of any possible extra battery drain.

As for Swype, that's not an issue we've been able to reproduce, but we'll be on the lookout for it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dulanic:
Sure. The 4 buttons on the bottom of the screen, by default they are backlit for I believe 5-10 seconds. If you go into settings/sound&display/keyboard timeout you can change the amount of time before the backlight for those buttons (and keyboard) time out. For example I prefer to keep them on when my screen is on so I chose same as screen timeout.

Earlier, the 4 buttons were going dark after 5-10 seconds while my screen was still on. Once i plugged in, they were timing out then screen was so I assumed (incorrectly) that was the reason it was working one way but not the other. I just tested again and the keyboard (4 keys) backlight is now matching the screen timeout. So I will consider this a fluke for now lol.... but I will keep an eye and see if it happens again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Okay, keep us updated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sauron0101:
I did wipe the battery information and the RAM and pretty much everything before flashing. It would appear that the phone sometimes does give the information, sometimes doesn't - especially when using an outlet charger. I'm not sure why right now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
If it works on the wall, I'd say it's your computer not supplying enough amperage to the device.
[Epic 4G Android Development] digiblur:
Will we at least have a 10% one? I hate having a widget for battery and going by the stupid little blue stock battery icon that seems to be almost full even though a widget says like 40% or so.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cbpagent72:
I love this ROM; however, I would like to suggest a few improvements. Adding the stock android calender app instead of the Samsung one. Fixing the voice feature on the swype keyboard, mine has never workd with this ROM, and fixing the bug that always makes app's force close.
[Epic 4G Android Development] littlepr:
Nice score!
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
We'll take it under consideration, thanks.

We'll consider the stock calendar (themed). As for force closes - have you wiped? If not, do so and reflash. If that doesn't work, Odin, format your SD card, redownload, and flash. Any major issues like that are either Clockwork failing on you or SD card/download corruption.
[Epic 4G Android Development] atkailash:
Now that sprint fixed their data issues, 4g is fine (using it right now in fact)
