Thanks Randy, i will see if i can fix it with how you mentioned.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
Bonsai install won't touch anything on the /sdcard/
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
:)

For the command: dmesg > dmesg.out, that just redirects the output from dmesg to a file in your current directory named, dmesg.out.

Do an ls -l to see the contents of the local directory.

You'll probably need to find some place to move that where Gmail can get to it so you can email it.

catlog has an option to mail the log file to any address. I believe these two files will have different contents so it would be nice to see both of them.

Sounds like things are working great except the WiFi. One of the things I notice here at work is that my phone is constantly "roaming" different access points from one Mac address to the next (all have the same SSID). That eats more battery than when I'm home on my own router and am not constantly switching to different access points.

Another likely possibility may be in that the signal strength from your router to the phone or phone to router might be causing your phone to bump up it's output levels. Can you see if you have a lot of failed or retried packets on your router for your phone's Mac address?

Also, yet another option is to try a different channel on your router. When I used to live in an apartment building, it seemed like everyone had their routers on Channel 11 or Channel 6. Switching mine to a more clear channel improved my link between router and devices.

I love this Rom, phone is smooth as silk now! I do have one little problem maybe someone can help me with. My GPS will not lock since I upgraded to Bonsai :-(. In google maps it just keeps blinking and always says searching for gps. I tried to use GPS status app from the market to clear the cache and download the gps data and no dice... I read that this version of Bonsai had a Gps fix, did I install the rom wrong?
[Epic 4G Android Development] gmorf33:
You need to follow the steps posted for GPS fix. Search for GPS fix (by plapczyn). I have the same issue, i've just been too lazy to fix my GPS (requires reflashing a couple times).
[Epic 4G Android Development] thumper338:
I am having this same problem.

In Wireless settings I can usually get it to turn on about the third attempt.

Sometimes it seems that airplane mode on/off works too...

I can turn wifi off using the status bar dodad, but haven't been able to turn it on using the dodad. It seems to have started when I left the house with the wifi on. Current uptime is 92:04:15. I have not reset the phone yet to see if it behaves better.

Is there a way to get the Samsung Feeds & Updates widget that comes with the stock rom onto the phone after flashing? Is the .apk floating around somewhere?

I have a feeling I'd miss it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rlobianco:
I'm having the same problem, Cant seem to isolate whats causing it though. sounds like bug though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
The only problem I have with wifi is when I use it for a while it will disconnect itself and I just have to toggle it off/on and then it's fine for a while
[Epic 4G Android Development] nemt:
What does the kernel patch actually do?
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
I have actually never had good luck with the Epic WIFI. It sucks. If I have a large file to download, it constantly stalls. With or without a ROM it has sucked for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
Actually I have GPS fix.

I have noticed after doing multiple rom installs on occasion the modem needs to simply be reset. Here's how to do it.

install app: GPS Status

Open App

Hit menu button

select tools

select : manage a-gps state

click reset

redo step 4 and 5

click download

This should reset your GPS. You may need to let your maps stay open for a few minutes while everything recalibrates.

If this does not work then reflash the DK28 modem only though Odin. You do not need to completly redo your Epic to get GPS working again. If you need further help let me know.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
theres work that pays money? I thought you could only get paid in gum :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
Look in the Thread about apps with eddify scripts its there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
The Patch removes the multiple versions CWM. This elliminates alot of issues that were happening on install of the rom , with themes etc...
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
It makes it so you only use one clockwork. If you have cwm3 installed you can get to the old version ut if you use the kernel patch it fixes the redirector.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nemt:
Good to know, thanks guys.

EDIT: I know this is covered in a million other place, but what's the key combo to boot into recovery? Camera + Volume up + power?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jerbeck24:
Love almost everything about this ROM/theme, one thing I miss from the 1.1.3 themed version is the themed launcher pro widgets...any chance of including that again at some point?
[Epic 4G Android Development] formula84:
volume down + camera + power , while device is shut off. you can do volume down and up + camera + power from within the os to go right into recovery.

Not sure I like the second method especially with the no journal mod cause it doesn't properly shutdown/reboot so it may cause data corruption so I always on option # 1
[Epic 4G Android Development] nemt:
The no journaling mod is optional, right? The EXT4 formatting done by the CWM3 + root zip file is sufficient?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Apollo83:
I too noticed that also when using the speed test app from the market place, but I found when I actually went to speakeasy.net for the speed test using the stock brower(with flash support) I was getting 7mpbs down and 1.5mpbs up. I have a feeling that the speed test app is broken due to the fact that it needs gps to locate the closest server..... developers have u seen any issue of 4g being capped?
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
You are right the no journal mod is optional

[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
4G isn't capped. Got about 6 Mbps in Orlando, three hours later in Houston I was getting 9.5 Mbps, and when I got into Los Angeles 6 hours later I was getting about 7 Mbps.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Apollo83:
was that with the speed test app or is that from the browser? If it was from the app, does your gps function properly? When I try and use the app it gives me a closest server of london lol.. I'm in nyc ha ha...
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
Speed test works right for.me. it gives me the Frederick MD server everytime. That's good speed on 4g. I use it on Baltimore and I don't get that nearly that fast.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Apollo83:
Yeah.. I get decent speeds in nyc.. I think my issue with the app will be fixed once I fix the gps...

Side note: is that bar lucas mccans still over there? I loved living in frederick...
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
it freaked out on me again today and rebooted, battery life was way bad too. I ended up reflashing the rom so we will see how it is tomorrow. the battery life was awesome while it lasted.
[Epic 4G Android Development] us3rX:
Not sure what widgets you use, I notice when I take off bat/time widgets such as Minimal Text batter life extended alot. I too was about to blame the rom. Not saying its MT's fault but just saying. =p

Is anyone experiencing any issues using bluetooth... my phone will pair with my earpiece and my gps but will not connect, if there is a fix for this somewhere please direct me to it, I tried to search here this morning, but for some reason my XDA toolbar is all mis-aligned at the top... maybe just this computer i am working on here are work...

thanks

[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
i don't think I use any, the battery life was awesome until it flipped out and started rebooting. for 2 days i had rediculous battery life so figured I would reflash and see if I can get that again.

4G sleeping?

Is any one having a problem with 4G sleeping after just a few seconds of inactivity, then needing to toggle it off/on to get it going again?

I know there's a setting for WiFi sleep policy, but I'm not aware of anything for 4G.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mjacobsen:
I have been having BT issues. It's rather sporadic though, so it's hard to pin down. Unfortunately the best way to describe it is"flakey". Which, as a programmer, I know is a lousy state. However, I will monitor behavior in an effort to clarify things better.

Yesterday my BT connected, but the audio insisted on going through the speaker rather than the BT headset. A reboot fixed it.

One consistent issue is have is that when I connect a BT headset, PowerAMP (audio player) will not respond to any functions. The play/pause/stop buttons change state (although I have to long press), but they do not do anything. The track just sits there. If I use the next/previous buttons, nothing happens, unless I open a dialog box or go out to home and back. But, even then the track does not play. It works fine with wired headset.
[Epic 4G Android Development] illizit:
Is it just me or does the SMS app move any read text mesages to the bottom of the list? That is really annoying. I have over 200 open threads and scrolling down is not fun. Is there any way to revert back the the 2.1 SMS app?

Thanks!

The 2.2 messaging app has been my main problem with DK28 from day 1.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
Would love to look into some of these things, but we will need some debug info to go on.

This goes for any problem reports:

1. Please provide a copy of the log data using an app like catlog.

2. An approximate time when the event occured.

3. Output from dmesg command if you can provide it.

4. Send this info to support (at) bonsaigeek.com

tks
[Epic 4G Android Development] illizit:
I feel Samsung has dropped the ball on this one. First with the bubble style messaging, now the moving to the bottom of the list? Hopefully this was just in their DK28 build.
[Epic 4G Android Development] juanaraya92679:
What was your GPS issue? I can't find a fix for mine... but for some reason i'm having less issues with the newest Bonsai update. I get random GPS signal drops when using Google Nav and sometimes Sprint Nav. It worked 1 day perfectly when I first installed bonsai but so far 2nd day on the new rom it dropped once on my way to work.

This new Bonsai4all Rom is amazing. THe boot animation is awesome also.
[Epic 4G Android Development] komplexicpnoi:
im having terrible battery life on my rom install... do i need to reflash again or something? experienced this in the morning. around 6 fully charged.. slept woke up about 6 hours later batteries down to 50%. thats a lot of battery usage for standby
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
Not sure that reflashing is the answer. How about sending some log data to support (at) bonsaigeek.com?

FWIW, I am 29 hours off of the charger, still have 44% battery left. WIFI and GPS have been on that entire time and I have been doing a bit of benchmarking, etc.

The other thing you can do is to go back to a stock Bonsai ROM (don't add all of your apps) and see how it does for a day or two. I suspect that the problem is a misbehaving app...
[Epic 4G Android Development] MasterQu:
How long has it been since you flashed?

Did you have a full battery when you flashed?

Did you run your battery down after flash and then let it fully recharge? If so did you notice if your battery charged up quicker than normal too?

Reflashing typically won't help battery issues. I have noticed that battery meters have a tendency to get out of whack during flashing (regardless of rom). If its not a calibration issue then like Randy_T said its probably an errant app.

yea im recalibrating the battery now, but ive taken randy steps to see if it is an app causing the drain.. went full stock no apps installed. i dont think ive been flashing with a fully charged battery. and thanks randy for the tip..

i'm having this same issue now, i flashed back to stock and restored one or two apps that I needed to have from titanium, battery life is still crappy. not horrible, but nothing like yours, I was getting close to that for 2 days and now can't get back to it. it rebooted and said system not responding right after I flashed it, that was before I installed anything.

Not sure if everyone else has this issue, but I have issue with phone dialer. Either when I call out or receiving call,

1. few times, I could not hear the other side even though they can hear me

2. as soon as i select speaker, i could not hear the other side even though they can hear me.

3. with BT, I hear the other side almost all the time.

i've been observing this for the last 3 days since I reflash (below). Any suggestion?

I have odin, reflash, clean, no restore data nor app.. just let google redownloaded.

This happens on all the dk28 ROM's right now. It happens after using Bluetooth, and then disconnecting Bluetooth.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mjacobsen:
Will do!

I just wrote a quick bash script to do just that. :)

Thank you, Randy_T!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mjacobsen:
29 hours?!? Seriously?

I thought for sure it was some prankster, until I saw it was you, Randy_T.

Honestly, I'd be ecstatic to have 44% after 9 hours; let alone the bonus 20!

But, I have had a steady 10% per hour drain since day 1. (meaning the day I walked out of Sprint!)

But, since it is you, I will give the barebones test a try.

Please, stand-by.........
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mjacobsen:
Hmmm.....

Now I have a quandary: Should I gather debug data for the BT issue and help the devs, or try to give my phone a longer life?

Tough choice!
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
i had similar for 2 days with all my apps, now I am back to the roughly 10% drain per hour, I have flashed it like 3 times now. same thing every time, it starts up, then ends up system not responding, i reboot , flash the theme, all seems well, but still the battery life is nowhere what it was for the 2 days when it was awesome.

i also see errors in the catlog for the internet, i'd guess that is why the pages load halfway and then stop and take a long time to load the rest.

You have to update the modem to dk28 (you can find the update in the dev area) and then flash the ROM. I'm mobile right now so its hardto post links, but you'll need to search for the dk28 modem file, then make sure to follow OP directions to the last T, and that should get you up and running.

From the day I purchased my phone, when it was running Eclaire (2.1), the phone was like a pocket warmer.

If you did not see a huge difference when you flashed even the stock DK28, let alone a ROM like Bonsai that is even better on power, then I would start suspecting that something is wrong with your phone.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
I guess my first question is "what kernels and why?"

If there is feature or function in another kernel that you are looking for, we would like to hear what that is.

In theory, you could, but we have done a fair bit of work to fix initialization problems in the current scripts that are part of the kernel image. No guarantees that other kernels would hook into the things we have done outside of the kernel image...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
IF the problems are random, a copy of the log will do little to help us find an event that is causing the problem. I recommend that you reflash. You might also want to slowly restore apps a few at a time to see if you can pinpoint what app might be causing this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
Stock battery. :)

Don't get me wrong. I am not talking on the phone that entire time, or watching videos or playing any games. That is standby on my home wifi, a few calls, some benchmarking (probably the hardest thing on it) and occasional weather updates using the gps.

But when running 2.1, the phone lasted about 6 hours doing those same things... (minus the benchmarking :) )
[Epic 4G Android Development] cballin22:
i was looking at the gpl mixup kernal or the xtreame kernal some of the features with them just seemed like overall as a whole might further improve on battery some of the other features with those kernals sound like they may also improve on the rom idk im just reading what the kernals say they include if im wrong you would know more then me it was just a thought
[Epic 4G Android Development] cballin22:
and i will try reflashing it all from scratch and see if it continues later on after i get off of work
[Epic 4G Android Development] Randy_T:
Ah, well, those kernels probably won't work on this ROM. They are compiled from the Android 2.1 source that was released by Samsung last September.

The Bonsai ROM is currently build from the leaked Android 2.2 build for the Epic. It has things like JIT compiler, and other functions not present in the 2.1 build.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cballin22:
your right i didnt even think about that at all well i will reflash my rom from scratch dk28 later today and see how things go i think it may be set cpu causing the freezing ill try cpu tuner with profiles and see how that goes and report back
