Good I'm not the only one, it must be the server end, ill wait til tonoorow to try again, very annoying cause it wont even notify me when I get a voicemail, it better work tomorrow or I'm going to be pissed...

I tried deleting the data on the app, updating my pro and profile and even uninstalled it and reinstalled it and still nothing besides that everything is running, and I plan to keep it that way.. with my adhoc wireless tether.. so as soon as this vm crap gets fixed ill be happy and just wanting the official source and a new upgrade for this rom and a new emotionless beast upgrade :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
lol, I hear ya. yeah, I'm not getting voicemails either.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
This is what I'm getting every time when I try to clear data and reactivate it:
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
yeah, same here.

on another subject, does Handcent send pics for you? I like the app a lot, but it never sends pics for me, it just hangs on sending, and they never get there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Yep sure does.. send and receive fine..
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
you're lucky, lol. I would use that app if I sent my pics.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
-1 on wizard.
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
very interesing..... do you always enter text along with the pic? I just got it to send a pic by entering a couple letters of text!
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
So yogi, want to join me and factory resetting and reactivating? U think that will help, of course nandroid backup..

Question about that it was said above a few pages back that when restoring in ce it will enable journaling now what I'd I o ly advanced restore it and o ly do data? Will that still enable data?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Hmm ya I usually add something in the text
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
I'm not sure if I'm up for a reset at this moment... do you mean as a possible fix for our voicemail issue? are we the only ones having this issue?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
well some guy said he was on viper rom and he said his voicemails are downloading..

ill try it right now after my nandroid back up is done.

ill just get my msl code and do that dialer code that i did for my gps fix and reactivate and restore and see if that does anything if not ill restore my nandroid backup.

holy hell i went past 1000 post, jeez!!! lol

still backing up, im hoping this will work...
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
ok cool. i actually flashed Bonsai twice today(had to redo it), and i think the voicemail thing was there both times.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
time to test this sh*t out finally got backed up!!!! b4 i do this im going to try this one more time...

FYI guys, Sprint's Visual Voicemail servers are down. That why you guys are having issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
ok sounds good, thx. btw, have you tried odexing this rom yet? I saw that you and i were two people messing around with that tool quite a bit. I might do a backup, then try it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
update: that didnt work, it must be server related maybe it will work tomoorow.
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
ahhh! ok thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
i might do that now since im backed up and put the custom branding, on mysterys theme.

so when i restore my bckup will it turn journaling on? anyone anyone?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
i should of just assumed that....
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
so do u know if i restore my cw backup will it turn journaling on? thanks?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
I don't know for sure as I have not had the need to Nandroid restore since I started running Bonsai 2.0.0 , but some suspect that it might. It's not an issue though as you can just re-flash bonsai again if it does. Your data will remain intact, but you will have to reflash the theme again. To get around this, I put together my own modded and themed version of bonsai 2.0.1. It has the Bubble stock mms already installed and removes a few more apk's I don't use. I leave it on my sd card in case i need to flash it in an emergency. Saves me a lot of time since it does everything in one flash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
ok so how do i check if journaling is on after this restore?

Update: it kept my theme when i restored my backup, thats cool, now i just need to see if journaling is on.. how do i do that..

does this have jornaling enabled?
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
accoriding to this by Musclehead, yes, your journaling is enabled again. you just need to reflash the rom to turn it back off.

well back to my state i was with no journaling i fugured it out, lol

That server crap happens rom.me alot in my area. I.lose 3g alot.of the time due to a tower being down. Bad service around here. But Verizon isn't around here, T-Mobile I don't think even has 3g here yet and at&t is well at&t. I'm pretty much stuck.

That's the first time that has happened and everything else works for me including mms, 3g and phone wifi and everything, kinda mad that it had to be the vm

[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Actually it happens all the time but most of the time you don't even realize it. The only reason your getting the error message is because you flashed durring the outage and now your vm is not registered. I'm not getting any vm sent to my phone right now because of it, but i'm not seeing the error message because my vm was provisioned before it happened. Once the servers go back up, your vm will provision, and we will all get our messages again. By the way, you can still get your messages by dialing into the vm system.

This is the first ROM I have tried on my Epic. I actually installed Bonsai to test because I couldn't get another ROM to work correctly. Wow! Bonsai is awesome! My GPS actually shows me in my house in the room I am in. That is the first time my GPS has ever worked inside. Everything so far is perfect. Granted, I have only used it for a few hours, but I have run it through a LOT of testing. Thanks for the time and effort on this rom!

Overall, excellent rom. Much respect

[Epic 4G Android Development] Sean Hicks:
fantastic

I am unsure that the rom ever had anything to do with this issue..

Since the most recent update, my google nav (which i use daily) has not lost gps signal once!

I was able to go on a road trip, without a single error from nav, finally!

In fact, I use my phone almost constantly all day, and since this update I have not had a single fc, or problem, at all.

This rom has been refined to what seems to be perfection, and it makes me happy daily. Thanks!

[Epic 4G Android Development] quickstang:
I think the word you were looking for was "sucks"

I got about 32hrs on mine unplugged. I even have my email being checked every 7min. I have also been testing that to see if I can get minor improvements. I usually play around with it for a day or so and then up the check time to another minute.

I also have Pulse news reader checking every 6hrs. I would suggest running it a few days the way it is and tweak from there.

I can personally say the battery life does NOT suck on mine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Agreed. Battery life on mine is fantastic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Restola:
Every once in a while when the phone is just sitting on my desk I'll hear it reboot itself.

Is there any log or other way to diagnose why that happens?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Have you flashed anything extra onto the rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] quickstang:
Remember too, that battery life is dependent on EACH user and what they have installed, the backlight, the amount of phone calls, SMS, MMS, programs checking for data, video, internet use, 3g, 4g, wifi, gps, etc etc.

For instance my phone has been unplugged for 3hrs and I have 91% left. I have made no calls, no SMS, and nothing but maybe checked the market for new apps.

My batter status shows...

Light usage: 32hrs and 46min left

Normal usage: 14hrs and 34min left

Heavy usage: 7hrs and 17min left

Constant usage: 3hrs and 38min left

So yes, battery life will suck if you are CONSTANTLY using your phone. That is the nature of the beast and the stock battery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
That would be unlikely as they have taken out most of the garbage already. Since every persons garbage is another ones steak it behooves us to not include anything that can be installed easily from the market or elsewhere. That concept is what makes Bonsai different from other roms.

[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
I hope not, I mean y would it need to be in the rom.. the reason I like this rom is because its clean of access bloatware/theming and everything works like I want it too.. I hate roms with a bunch of stupid apps that I will never use ie: all this apps that are added in epic experience for 2.1, this rom is fantastic..

Btw top nurse I like the way you put garbage and steak, metaphor lol

[Epic 4G Android Development] caspertodd:
One thing I did notice with this ROM is that my screen unlocks after a missed call. Is there any way to have the screen re-lock like it does with the stock ROM? The problem this causes for me is if someone calls me when my phone is in my pocket, it unlocks my phone and I start pocket dialing. I do not want to have to use a passcode or pattern lock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
I can confirm this on my epic too, but I'm pretty sure this bug is present in all the dk28 based roms I've tried.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
not something notcible.. ive seen, what exactly happens?
[Epic 4G Android Development] caspertodd:
If you do not have a pattern lock set (just using default lockscreen), and you receive a missed call, the screen unlocks and stays on until the default screen timeout is reached (2 minutes for me). This is causing the screen to unlock in my pocket if I miss a call and causing me to pocket dial people. I would also think that this would drain the battery faster since the screen isn't locking like it should and not timing out quickly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dwallersv:
I'm trying this ROM, and really like it so far. I am having one problem I had when I tried ViperROM, though: The process "Security Storage" is just banging like a whore trying to win status as bottom ***** -- damn thing is sucking about 30% CPU continuously.

Any ideas?

This is my second shot at Froyo. I restored most of my apps backed up from my Eclair SyndicateROM environment, and I'm quite suspicious it's something there. However, with some 70 apps restored, I'd like to avoid having to wipe and start over, restoring 1x1 to find the culprit.

Any help pointing me in the right direction to figure out the bastage causing this would be enormously appreciated... I really like this ROM!
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
oh guess i dont notice cause my screen timeout is fast,
[Epic 4G Android Development] caspertodd:
I would set mine faster but can't stand it locking while I am reading an email or website. Maybe I read too slow ;) Overall though, this ROM is awesome!!!

Issues with radio after installing

I was running stock and followed the steps to install CWM3 and then load the zip. When the ROM boots up, I do not have cell signal (stuck in airplane mode). I cleared all data and cache a few times and reinstalled the ROM, but nothing seems to help. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
did you update your modem to dk28? that is a critical step to flashing these dk28 roms.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jamiebass:

I brought up the DK28 modem problem to Randy.

I know that the leaked DK28 zip installs the DK28 modem.

And I know Noobnl has put out a zip that will install the DK28 modem (basically ripped from the DK28 leak).

Randy said they will be looking into it.

I think there is something about needing to be on the DI18 modem before flashing the DK28 modem through a zip.

I'm going to go ahead and test that out a bit, I haven't used Odin in a while and this gives me a reason to load it up. ;]

I'll post my results, and forward the info to Randy when I'm done.

[Epic 4G Android Development] bdillon:
I'm getting the same thing you are. I lose about 1 percent every 3 or 4 minutes sitting idle. I don't have much installed, no widgets that check for updates, and Facebook set for updates every three hours. I'm not a dev, but I know my way around this phone. This is the first Bonsai I've had battery troubles with. My phone will go through the whole battery in about 3 to 4 hours, just sitting in my pocket at 0 usage.

Spare Parts shows a lot of sensor usage, says Gallery is responsible for it. I think this has a new Gallery baked in, no?

Anyhow, it says Gallery has been running for 5 minutes and 19 seconds, and I only briefly kicked it on about that long ago. Total usage all time is 8d 3h 47m 34s.
[Epic 4G Android Development] montiz333:
I thought I was the only one, good to kno im not alone, Its really starting to annoy me ill be at work and it feels like a fireball in my pocket while idle, and even random reboots I was thinking of switching roms but I don't kno of another with everything working
[Epic 4G Android Development] bdillon:
I backed up and uninstalled Gallery 3d using Titanium Pro.

Might be too early to tell, but it's been about 15 minutes with some very light usage and it's not dropping charge.

Granted, I have no gallery now, but I'll figure that out later. Maybe it will worked better installed from the market?

Update: Almost half an hour has passed and it's still holding at 32 percent. It used the other 68 percent in a little less than three hours of 0 usage.

I'll report back later tonight or tomorrow. It's really too early to tell. If this 32 percent lasts me the rest of the night, then all is good.

[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
hey great work, and do let us know. I was getting a severe battery drain on this rom as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bdillon:
To give credit where credit is due, it as robl45 who mentioned sensor usage.

I just kind of dug a little deeper into what he mentioned.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bryanfritz1:
I am curious as well, my battery life seems heavily dependant on "something I do" because I have been watching with watchdog and its only alerted me once for "gallery" and I blew it off as a glitch, maybe not. But today was the first day since flashing 4 days ago that I made it threw the day. I know that dk28 can do better than this because I was getting 11-12hrs with medium to heavy and now I'm getting 8 if I'm lucky. I always flash on a full battery, and yesterday I even did a full charge off, turn on charge to full, turn off charge to full, and still bad results. I love the rom, its fast, I didn't have to do ANY backup, but I need my batery life back. Sorry this kinda seems rantish. Oh on a side note, I haven't had to turn on wifi since I flashed so that is defineatly a huge plus. Any thx guys hope my info helps.

Ive had a major issue that has happened twice now over the last three days.

The phone will not come out of sleep.

opening the keyboard just lights up the keyboard.

plugging it in doesnt even light up the red led.

pressing holding power butting does nothing

anyone have any ideas??

I had to pull the battery, whatever it was doing was draining the battery like crazy. It was only off the charger for 1.5 hours and when i restarted the phone it was @ 68% battery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bdillon:
I was getting worse than 8 hours. It would die within a few with literally no usage from me. I turned on wifi, turned the screen all the way down, killed all apps and widgets and just let it sit. I always flash on a full battery, even go through the calibration process that some people mention just to make sure it didn't erroneously stop charging at 80 percent (which my phone has done before)

I can say that since I used Titanium to backup then uninstall Gallery a little over an hour ago, it's only dropped 1 percent even with some texting usage. Again, maybe too early to tell because it's only been a little over an hour. At this point I wouldn't tell everyone having this problem to axe the gallery as a sure fix, but it sure seems promising.

Tomorrow, I'm going to try and download the Gallery from the Market to see if it works without drain. Maybe it's the app itself, maybe it's the way it was baked into the ROM, or maybe it's the way it was copied during flash.....I'm not a dev, so I have no clue about that.

I bricked my new Epic 4g!!!

Help!

I just purchased my new Sprint Epic 4G...

I rooted my phone following the instructions here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=770388

This gave me ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0 which I used that menu to create a backup. I then followed the flash instructions to open .zip for this ROM and then was stuck at the SAMSUNG bottup screen. I realize it was because I should have used CWM3.. well I did the backup but I keep getting this message:

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

Checking MD5 sums...

Restoring system...

Restoring data...

.android_secure.img not found. Skipping restore of /sdcard/.android_secure.

Restoring cache...

lost+found

Then it freezes. I don't know what to do I think maybe I could go back to stock but I have no idea how I could access my directory to move over the stock ROM while in recovery mode. Or syncronizing the device and updating CWM3 and then doing this ROM zip would work. Each time now I boot my Epic it goes into the ClockworkMod Recovery screen.
