Problems

First off, I love this ROM. Been using it for awhile now and I love the work. I just have a few issues with 4.0.2c. I do apologize if these issues have been brought up before, but I stopped reading through the threads after it all became a huge flame fest.

Anyway, here's a list of issues/questions I have (scroll down for problems in a nutshell):

- I first flashed 4.0.2c last night and got GREAT battery life. Like, I played Angry Birds for an hour straight and had 90% remaining. I was like "Wow! This is great!" But then I plugged my phone in and went to bed. I unplugged it at 100% the next morning and it went down to 96% (something that it didn't do the night before.) I shrugged it off since this happens to me every time I unplug it. But, after thirty minutes of just texting, I was down to about 85%. I turned my phone off and flashed the Devlik2SD or whatever it's called, but it just made it worse. My question to you is is there anything that I can do to get better battery life?

- Any application I install from the Market force closes as soon as it is launched. ANY APPLICATION. The only way to fix it is to uninstall it via the Market and install it again. This seems to work, but it's kind of annoying to do that every single time I want to download an application. It also happened on the Sims 3 application that's in the ViperSTORE (though I haven't uninstalled it and tried to flash it again.)

Sorry for the great wall of text, but I'd really like some help with this. In a nutshell though:

- Battery life was good, charged to full and then sucks.

- Downloaded apps from Market f/c until uninstalled then reinstalled.

Thank you very much for your work ViperTEAM and I can't wait for another great ROM!

Hey hass, may want to open a ticket here. They are pretty fast at addressing the issues:

http://teamviper.devphone.org/support/

As far as the battery life, could be that your battery isn't calibrated and the readings you saw were not accurate.

Please see: Wiki: How to Calibrate Battery

As for the FC, definitely open a ticket. I will say thought that A2SD scripts are not supported in 4.0.2c. And I don't think you need to flash the Dalvik file. Those were for older versions of Viper.
[Epic 4G Android Development] husher:
I'm to new to answer that without just guessing.

Logically however I just figured I'll have to go to ext4 at some point since a lot of Dev's are making that shift.

I did the full process over again

Odin stock dk28

(**** around with the ****ty usb drivers for about 3 hours >:|)

oneclickrootCWM3 3.0.0.5 (i think)

loaded up viper

did a test download, was there after i downloaded it and was there after i rebooted.
[Epic 4G Android Development] husher:
Yup I just did this. Only I just searched in the market for wireless tether instead of going to megaupload :0

Has anybody been knicked by Sprint for doing this?

It's always warned but I've never seen anybody say "Yeah I got caught"
[Epic 4G Android Development] Hasseo:
Thanks for the quick response! Once I get back on my computer I shall look into submitting a ticket and calibrating my battery.

Thanks,

Hasseo

[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
if you install the wireless tether that is provided with the rom (already on your sdcard) then sprint will not bug you about it unless you use way more data than you should (aka downloading movies, torrents, etc)

with out knowing which one you are using i can't answer for it but you should be fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] frictitious:
See I don't have this folder I looked for it. Used astro and the viper addons folder is not there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] husher:
Well I just assumed it's the APK of wireless tether from the android market just not downloading it from the android market. But I hear you, I was more thinking lite surfing and skype vid if that can be done
[Epic 4G Android Development] husher:
You have to get it from the Viper store. You get that from the App Market.

However I think it's just the .APK of Wireless tether. So instead of downloading a APK installer and having to go to megaupload I just went to the market and got wireless tether. (it will be the one that has the wifi icon)
[Epic 4G Android Development] frictitious:
i have been watching netflix and hulu and whatnot through my phone for over a year and a half. I mean i got obsessed with lost and watched the entire series front to back when I was injured in a couple months so i mean hours on end streaming. Still have my account and not a word said to me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Hasseo:
Ok, I submitted a ticket and checked out how to recalibrate the battery. When you wipe the battery stats in Clockwork, are there supposed to be any... I guess words underneath the options? I dunno how to explain it, but, like, when you install a zip file, there are the "restoring system" and all that stuff underneath the green text in white... sorry, bad at explaining xD.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hardway43:
That was fast.thanks for the quick response. I'm login this rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] konaman:
Hey I've been searching around on here and didn't find my answer so here goes...

My GPS was way off and I decided to odin back to DI18 then DK28 and it's fixed. I rerooted and NOW I can't flash the CWM3 it keeps saying that my phone isn't connected! Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks

**EDIT**

I got stupid cause I'm tired but I figured it out! I'm all better now.

[Epic 4G Android Development] dallas90733:
Hey BT,

I see a issue, maybe you can help or not no biggie, the problem is when I get a text messg and when I reply to it the time is off and it puts, the message out of order, I flash back to 18 then 28 then 4.0.2c rfs, only..any idea?. thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] husher:
It's the USB bug.

There isn't anything you can do but keep plugging that usb into other ports. I went threw 3 boot up cycles, 10 uninstall and re-installs of the usb drivers, even tried my Netbook 5 times. I seems to just work when it feels like working. Error 43 is my new number for the beast!

Also I don't think you had to go as far back as to DL18 you could have just went to DK28. But yeah just keep plugging at it and it will start working. It's what slowed down my root from what should have been 20-25 mins max to 2-3 hours.
[Epic 4G Android Development] husher:
I know what you are saying, When you wipe other things in CWM3 it will give you a text prompt that the task was complete, but doesn't show up when you clear the battery. Same thing happen for me I'm just running on faith that it worked and did it 3 times like with any wipe.
[Epic 4G Android Development] husher:
Bluetooth

Does anybody have an idea on how to fix this? It seem to have started when I did viper it was running fine on DK28 stock

It's a bluetooth issue. Idk if there is an app out there that would work a bit better when it comes to connecting to your pc if there is I would like to know.

flashed this rom and its awesome..ive been flashing roms since yesterday ......this is new to me so i wanted to toy around with it... my only question is if there is an add on for the screen lock...i noticed that apoco402c didnt have a lock and with kids its just convenient....i would check the store myself but my hubby got hold of my phone and he is now playing with it...dont know when ill get it back lol

thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayabusa1300cc:
I am 15 mins away from reaching 3 days having not resarted.

By far the longest I have been running,and is butter smooth! Previous ROMs, I had daily lockups even 3 a day. While choosing to restart every night to 'help' my chances.

Great job, don't give up ViperTeam.

[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Yes there is a screen lock zip in the viper store and it works perfectly with this ROM (Apocalypse). Pretty cool too. :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] husher:
what about the lock screens thats are up in Themes and Apps? Can those work as well?
[Epic 4G Android Development] littlepr:
Some might but others will not. If you decide to use them, make sure to create a backup first just in case it doesn't work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mohwak:
Was Curious

I had a couple of zips that would not install because I was running ext4 system or because I am running CW3. Can I reboot to recovery and install the zip from there? Would it do anything? I have done this with the hulu patch and it seems to work fine.

I love the ROM guys great work, I just bought my Epic yesterday and have Apoc running. I don't want to beat a dead horse but does the Tethering not work on DK28? I get the Error 67 message about Sprint user/pass. This is the only issue i have on my phone that i have noticed, everything else is flaweless. I tried the Mobile AP and both sprint apps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] swp22:
teather works fine.... did you donwload the one thats was placed in your sd card from the apoc install???? what im not following is how you have apoc running and running teathering on dk28?????? never mind i see what your saying i had a brain fart..... The tethering should be working fine only issues ive heard of is the data transfer was low but that could be adjusted in the settings and by downloading the data zip to flash
[Epic 4G Android Development] rstrik:
I missed that somewhere, one thanks clicky for you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] S1NFUL CE1:
i flashed apocalypse and restored all my apps via titanium backup. after setting everything up the way i wanted it. i used quick boot and all my apps were gone. i reflashed apocalypse and i set everything up once again. i did a manual reboot and once again, all my apps were gone. i reflashed trinity 3.0.3, but i would like to use apocalypse. any ideas as to what's going on?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Topgamer:
Well found my fix... If I use barnicle to tether it works good? I used to use the app the rom comes with. Another ? can anything else b developed to get even higher internet speeds? I no its mostly based on carrier. Just askn, sexy rom. Props to devs! Thx!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Topgamer:
I had this happen just reflash with ext4
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
Thanks so much..now another question....how do I install something I downloaded from the viperstore....it downloads a zip file but I can't save it to my sd to flash it...am I doing something wrong...also I downloaded the sims and I'm lost on how to install that one..lol sorry for the noob questions!
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
did you look in the downloads folder of your sd card? or if you are using a browser other than the stock one, check the folder for that browser, and sub-folder 'downloads' for that browser. sorry if you did this already... but you should hopefully find them there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gsrboy171:
this rom is smooth and fast. i like it. i was scared of using it but when i install the lagfix, i didnt read that i will have to install a new rom. i was on the stock (buggy) DK28. one day i was gonna try the viper rom and lucky enuff to download it into my computer. now iam using it and not having one flaw.

here is the thing. i didnt install the modem and pit. what iam missing out?
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
I see them in the astro folder..but in clockwork I can't find them.....looked around but to no avail..I'm assuming they need to be flashed to install however the sims is something different..not sure how to install that....I suppose I have more toying around with this before I get the hang of it
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
ViperROM, doesn't install those files. I think you are confused.

Those are things you do in preparation to flash Viper, or pretty much any custom ROM for that matter.

That said, you shouldn't be able to flash Viper w/o the updated modem file.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
Whooo hooo ok found the zip files in cloc,kwork after some more searching...it was late lastnight and no sleep to boot ..toddler didt sleep well anyhooo...wouls still like to know about the sims download..it comes as a hotmail..now is that an error or is there a way to instal that too
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
this may or not be ROM-related, but has anyone ever had their 3G disappear? lol, all of a sudden I have no 3G network, even after toggling airplane mode, and rebooting. 4G does work when I'm in a coverage area.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
No offense (seriously), but if you think an "html" is a hotmail, then we may need to take a few steps backwards.

My suggestion is hold off on flashing things from the store for now. It appears your downloads didn't process correctly.

Insanity posted links to CWM3 compatible .zip files a while back, search the thread and you can try to flash those if you want.
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
ah ok... I'm not sure about the Sims, but i do know some folks were messing with that a while back. try a search in this thread, or perhaps check the wiki and see if anyone has posted there. or hopefully those folks from before will see your question, lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] S1NFUL CE1:
i flashed trinity without the modek pit files and straight from my epic. i used rom manager and it installed just fine.

my only issue with installing apocalypse is i need to convert to ext4. but for some reason i can't do it on my mac, i need a windows computer to get it converted.
[Epic 4G Android Development] husher:
I guess I'll need to open a ticket on my bluetooth issue.

I know everybody doesn't do the bluetooth sync thing, but it's a nice alt from the tweaking USB.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Hasseo:
Just use BootCamp. Parallels or VMWare won't work. I use BootCamp for Odin and everything works just fine!

[Epic 4G Android Development] gsrboy171:
I don't think I did either, now i am

Remembering I only flashed to stock dk28 for a week then tried the ext4 and it erased the rom. Then I just load up the viper rom from my sd card. And now ism using it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
OK this should be my last question for the day lol got the sims download at least fixed...it was the file sharing site..gotta try em all some are buggy or have limits..anyway..I noticed that it is really slow switching from regular to lansdscpe mode...or verticle to horizontal....when I turn my phone sidways it takesa good min to adjust...is there a fix for that? I noticed a lagfix in the viperstore however when tying to dl it say my phone dosnt support it
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
lagfix is already baked into the ROM, as for SIMs, I have not clue what's up with it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
thanks for putting up with me!:)...i noticed that its just something that is going on upon some investigation into this forum..i can put up with the 3-4sec lag from landscape to normal because this rom is AWESOME
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Wait...so the lag happens anytime you switch? OR just when you're playing Sims and try to switch?

If it happens anytime, please submit a ticket here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
the lag happens everytime i switch from landscape from normal and its like a good 4-5 sec lag..LOL Ill submit a ticket now:) ..as far as sims i havnt even been able to install it...clockwork aborts it and says something about only being able to install in 1.5...
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Yeah, I don't think SIMs has really been working at all. Low on the totem pole =]
[Epic 4G Android Development] jweavis:
Not sure what my issue was, but today I blew through a full battery in 9.5 hours. Display was responsible for using 79% of my battery according to the Epic. I know it's seemed worse since I upgraded to 4.0.2c from 4.0.1, but this seemed off. I was not running a Live Wallpaper.

I've since disabled the auto dimming and set the display to 50%. I haven't had a good chance to charge and test it.

Second issue, has happened with stock and Viper ROM. When making the connections on the complex lock screen, it will sometimes lose my place and start over. This can cause me to input an incorrect password many times, but seems to go away on it's own after a few seconds. Wondering if it's a hardware problem.

I am on frankenstein and viper store doesn't have the edify version.

Yeah, I've used Hotfile to download the Sims. Unfortunently, it force closes on me everytime I try to launch it so it's probably nothing to spend time troubleshooting.

[Epic 4G Android Development] :
That's right you said edify sorry homey I don't have that one
[Epic 4G Android Development] raylusk:
It sounds like what you did is used the leaked update.zip file to instal the dk28 leaked rom which would have also upgrade the modem. Then later you flashed viper rom through clockwork. Since you had already flashed the modem, you didn't need to do it again.

I think I also read you were having issues with slow screen rotation. Do this and it should fix it.

If you don't already have terminal emulator installed download it from the android market. Open terminal emulator.

1. Type su

2. Super user will ask you to grant root permissions to terminal emulator. Do so.

3. Type sensorcalibutil_yamaha into terminal emulator.

4. Follow the on screen process.

5. Reboot the phone.

Let us know if this fixed the issue. It did for me but it took a couple of tries although I wasn't rebooting the phone afterwards. So my last try right after I did the above I rebooted the phone and it fixed the issue.

EDIT: I just saw it was another user asking about screen rotation issues. I hope they see this post. Sorry.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Strange Brew:
Sorry if someone already answered this but I don't want to lose this question as I read on the next few pages.

For 4.0.2c RFS to work, you must first install 4.0.1 heaven or hell and then install 4.0.2c RFS over it. DO NOT WIPE!! Do not wipe anything before installing 4.0.2c RFS. It must be installed ON TOP OF 4.0.1 heaven or hell to fix the losing your apps after reboot problem.

Sooo just 2day I noticed my gps doesn't seem 2 work.... with all the new clockwork stuff I can't for the life of me remember if I got a lock b4 I installed "4.0.2C" so is it odin back 2 stock for me.... I walked up and down my block and never got a signal on the gps test. And yes previously i did get gps reception outside my house and well testing I even walked partway up and down the block and gave up as 5+ min shoulda been long enough to get a lock.... and for the record IDK why everyone is so upset about CWR 3 cuz if u go to advanced and reboot recovery your in 2.5xx and can flash zips in old format... just my 2 on the whole CWR thing as everyone should stilll be able to flash zips from the viper store, Also thanks again 2 everyone who helped put this rom together ya'll keep up the good work!

*Edit* I'm just gonna odin back 2 stock and redo.... I guess let this be a reminder 2everyone 2 make sure you get a gps lock B4 u install the rom...
