Crackling sound in earpiece

Hey everyone. First off, great ROM. Seems very solid. I tried searching this thread so if this has been answered forgive me.

After flashing 5.3 this morning (Wiped everything 3x) everything works great except on phone calls there is a crackling sound in the ear piece. It's there no matter the volume but only I can hear it; the other party is oblivious. Does that sound like a kernel problem possibly? I have also heard of the VooDoo app causing strange sound phenomena but that usually seems to be on screen presses.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
I hope it isn't your earpiece speaker. Have you tried it with headphones on, too?

This is my 1st time flashing a midNIGHT ROM. I wanna flash the update but do u have to flash v5.1 & v5.2 or can I just flash the new update that's out now?

Is there a TW lockscreen that I can put on this instead of the stock one?

[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
It's probably just an EVP from some random ghost LOL
[Epic 4G Android Development] budderocks:
Go to lostandtired.com and on the Android Development page there are .zip files listed on the right side. You will see one named "Stock EC05 TW lockscreen restore"
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
Hey rob idk if the 1x is working BC I can't recall ever seeing it along with me using the clock restore and v5 honeycomb theme and I don't see it so if maybe u could put up a flsdhable zip or someone to check out that would be great I love that feature
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
Yea made me mad had to go in the old one and pull it to use for 5.3
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
This rom is smooth as hell new update is great just took forever to get my Facebook to link contacts up but other than that great this should hold me over for a while or new phone since I feel development might start slowing down for epic so yeah but everyone enjoy robs last present k peoples
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
If you download "SGS Tools" from the market, there's a feature on that app to where you can upgrade the stock apps, then select upgrade TW Launcher. Make sure you use the gtg one. Its real nice.
[Epic 4G Android Development] anderson620:
I haven't tried it with headphones, but I came from ACS (with no problems) to this ROM (problem) to Simply AOSP (no problems).

I'm sure it's something I'm just overlooking, but at the moment it's enough to force me to use something else. Hopefully I can get it figured out soon. Love the ROM!
[Epic 4G Android Development] greatlakesghost:
I have read on other threads that voodoo sound can cause your issue. Might want too uninstall it and see if it fixes it. It can always be dl from market.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
I had problems with audio (mostly people not hearing me on the other end) I uninstalled the free version of Voodoo and purchased the paid version and havent heard any complaints from people I talk to now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rsage:
mbarbs - I'm having this problem on 5.3 as well (journaling ON) - did you ever figure this out? I'll also sometimes get Calendar FC's when the phone boots up.

Other than that, I'm having no problems whatsoever.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bradbutter:
so question to users who use alot of roms ..this one or urban fury ive been havin urban fury problems and want to switch
[Epic 4G Android Development] greatlakesghost:
Good info to know! I really dont use voodoo except on the rare occasion i use slacker at work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
There is only one person who can answer that...you. Each person has their own needs and things they want from aROM. You should try then and find our for yourself which over works best for you. Personally, this is my ROM of choice and has been for some time. I also love the other 2 on my signature. But, you may like another one better. It takes time to choose ROM that is best for you but, in the end, it's worth it. Good luck.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bradbutter:
thanks im jus goin to use certain ones for a day or two a piece and then make my choice but is there a way to flash a rom without doing a data reset ...or do i have to back everything up and than import it back everytime
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Unfortunately, you really need to wipe all the way and then install.

For me I don't even restore my apps, I just download them and install. Just to be sure nothing funky comes from a restore of anything.

Takes a bit more time but its more solid. Though you could end up spending a ton more time trying to troubleshoot weirdness brought on by some restored item.

Anyhow, good luck and happy flashing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chuhsi:
the voodoo thing screwed up my voice on phone calls. uninstall fixed my issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bradbutter:
yeah thats what i do i just keep the .apks on my sd card and install them just flashed this though it seems pretty good ..was using urban fury but it would work perfectly for like 2 days then every single thing would FC on boot over and over ..id have to wipe 3x and reflash every 2 days idk what was doing it lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
You need to wipe the calendar data. This is using the Fascinate calendar because it's better. You may need to wipe the calendar data and let google re-sync. That should fix it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheBurgh:
Just flashed and this rom is running super smooth. Thanks for your efforts
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
Quick question.... Can I flash this over Viper? I'm running Synergy with Genicide 0.5 and I have flashed the EB13 to EC05 modem update that you had provided some time ago.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
I agree... I've been through a few ROMS too. You just have to do your back up, flash what you want to try and see how you like em.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
I just remembered my second question. Do I have to be on a fresh battery when I flash? Some you do and some you dont I've heard.

As in 100% charged? Shouldn't have to be.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Correct. You need enough to flash and flashing is very taxing on the battery. There where some kernels I think that had issues but that was an exception and not the rule.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Oh wow, that would be a major pain.

I've been running midNight ROMs since January (started with 2.4). They have always been solid, I read and read after I got my Epic for x-mas. midNight just seemed to have the least issues and great support.

I haven't run any other ROM on my Epic and I have never felt the need or want to. Super satisfied 100% of the time.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
just to get this straight

the new 5.3 awareness edition already has the extras included?? or do i need to flash the "extras"
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
It's a full rom but you can still flash some of the extras if you would like...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
thanks...the 1st post is becoming really bloated..

I havent flashed rom in a while since my phone seems not to like journaling off, but im glad we are getting some roms with J\ON

thanks..
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
Right on. I will 100% charge and flash. :) Thanks again for all you have done.

No ringtone on incoming call

So, I flashed 5.3 today, everything seemed to be working just fine; expected email FC - easy enough to set it up after clearing data.

I then got a phone call, which I didn't hear.

I was alerted to it because of the sound the phone made when I got the voicemail. I checked for rigntones; there were some but not the all the ones I had before. Nothing was selected. Ok that makes sense, no ringtone selected = no sound on incoming call.

Flashed my zip of all the ring tones from midNight extras, rebooted. Selected a ringtone. Called my phone and nothing, no sound even when selecting a ringtone.

Anyone have an idea as to what that my be??

Thanks

*** EDIT - decided to reboot the phone from something other than recovery (as I had gone into recovery to flash the ROM, CMW 3.0.2.5, my theme and the rigntones). When it restarted, gmail FC'd. Cleared that data and let it re-sync, after that ringtones are working. Strange but true :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shiggity:
Hey so sorry if this has been discussed already, but I love Midnight ROM. It's so fast and responsive, but so far I've found one issue with it for my uses:

Streaming audio (radio stations) don't/doesn't work. I've tried my paid subscriber stream, as well as its free public stream, as well as other random free stations and nothing seems to work. Apps I've tried: StreamFurious Pro, Winamp for Android. Do I need to flash an extra or something? Some codecs? If anyone has any insight please let me know. I have the EC05 rEVOlution AOSP theme installed at the moment... Would that cause my issue?

I don't want to flash away from MR. I had ACS' Syndicate Frozen before this, and it was a nightmare on my phone for some reason. It would always either end up getting freeze ups for no good reason, or stupid FCs all over the place, making it unusable.

Thanks,

Shiggity
[Epic 4G Android Development] greatlakesghost:
Slacker is working just fine on mine. Dont know if thats a fair comparison to your apps you are trying to use. Maybe try another theme to compare it too. Im using black bionix.

I am confused?

this is version 5.3 and this topic was started on 21 Feb 2011

but the topic about version 5.2 was started on 24 March 2011

how could 5.3 come out before 5.2?

what is the one I want to use?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Now I'm confused? :)

Sent him a new epic

i send him a epic 4g to use for testing and development do he can contunue development of the rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] zadok5150:
im sorry to ask in case its been asked several times but i dont have any more time or patience to search more than 20 or 30 pages lol. its noted that the clock was put back in the notification bar and that was a deal breaker for me with bonsai why i left it soon as i flashed and unfortunatly i have no clock in the notification bar. is this common for this rom or am i anomoly?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Lo N Slo:
hey I just rooted and tried to flash this rom a minute ago. I did the wipe x3 process for data and dalvik, but when I try to flash the actual zip of hte rom, I get stuck at the boot screen. I waited over 10 minutes 2 times and it did not leave the boot screen.

Any ideas/suggestions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] TrentB:
There is a flashable restore clock zip that can be found on the sidebar of the android development page of Rob's website lostandtired.com
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unknown Zone:
lol...left, medic started this thread long time ago 21feb when I believe eb13 with version 4. something so instead of starting new threads every time he comes out with a rom medic just edits if you look the last edit was 9may when 5.3 came out which have links to his personal page where you can d/l the roms..etc.

so the answer to your question is 5.2 pretty much started on 24march then 5.3 came out on 10may and was edited to the 21feb post#1 thread and retitled.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Lo N Slo:
Also, on first boot, how long should the phone be at the boot screen (the screen that says www.Samsungmobile.com)
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
should wipe data, partition cache and dalvik 3x each.

What version of clockworkmod are you running? should be 3.0.0.6 or 3.0.2.5

lastly; could be a bad download, try to download the file again and if you downloaded str8 to your phone, try downloading to your computer and then copy it to your phone.

good luck
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Thanks again for the development phone. A few things I cannot test with this device.. I can flash the ROMs but the audio is dead so I can't test sound. This phone is not activated (since there is no sound) so I can't really test the radio either. However, those things have never been an issue before. So you'll have to let me know if there is any audio or radio anomalies.

Thanks again :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ragnsep:
Hey I was wondering where I could find a compatible CIFS module and any information on how to install it on this rom.

I would appreciate any help or insight provided, thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ragnsep:
What ROM were you using beforehand? What radio?

If you had a DK28 radio and flashed a EC05 ROM on top of it, then you are going to have problems if I am not mistaken.

midNIGHT ROM v5.3 (BYOR-Awareness Edition) EXT4 Journaling OFF/ON EC05
[Epic 4G Android Development] RustyPwns:
I'm having a bunch of issues with 5.3

First the setup wizard FC's... then after I manage to get it working again I use the phone for about 30 mins then I get FC's everywhere. Sometimes the phone turns black and I try to put it to sleep and wake it up and it stays black and I would have to remove the battery. Home button doesn't work sometimes as well and then leads to the black screen. Also when I try restarting it stays on bootup. Rolling back to 5.2
[Epic 4G Android Development] schlag:
i'm having similiar issues, on my 2nd try with 3x wipe of data/cache/dalvik and getting FCs on initial setup, and dialer so far. coming from EC05 odin, and currently odin'ing back to di18 and will try again.

This is Midnight 5.3 BYOR
[Epic 4G Android Development] schlag:
I got this from Megaupload. perhaps a corrupted image.
[Epic 4G Android Development] maltydog:
I did the upgrade to 5.3, wiping data, cache and dalvik cache, running the 5.3 update, definitely had a new startup screen, restored apps using titanium backup. Seems to be working fine. But I see that when I look in about phone, it says build number midnight rom 5.2. I wonder what that means?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I just double checked and you must not have flashed the correct .zip OR for some reason it didn't take. I checked the build.props and the build number WILL reflect v5.3 if it's flashed. My suggestion is to verify the .zip you flashed. If your going the v5.3 byor edition then that zip is about 370mb.

Let me know if you still have problems.
[Epic 4G Android Development] maltydog:
After installing the 5.3 update, I installed 5.2 extras, could that be the reason? As I said, I definitely saw a different startup screen when I ran the update flash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] maltydog:
Well, I decided to live dangerously, and just flashed the Rom again without wiping data or caches....so far it looks fine, and it does say 5.3 in "about phone"....will see if it is buggy or not.

Can't u just take it in to sprint as a defective hardware and get a new one for free that works so u can activate or do u not even have sprint ne more.

So I goto system/app and it said 10.1 so Im wondering if we are going to update like in next new rom or do I need to update it and push it to the system or is this a certain version even tho its outdated. Just curious as to liking to be up to date with everything. Well thanks in advance

[Epic 4G Android Development] SwimDrewid:
Yep -- contacts, apps (market) and gmail -- get this fc: Calendar Storage (com.android.providers.calendar) on start (sometimes unlock) and if I hit a calendar app.

I did a complete wipe and did the 5.3 BYOR, no journal and then flashed b-reezy's rEVOlution 1.1

Tried a different theme, but same calendar deal.

Will unzip 5.2 and grab the calendar shiz from there when i have some time.

Thx
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Could also go into settings -> applications -> manage -> all find calendar and clear the data; I know in 5.3 it is using the fascinate calendar. Perhaps the theme is swapping it out and then the data isn't in the expected format for the calendar installed by the theme.

So after the theme, clear the data for the calendar.

OK then, I want 5.3 I guess

I am running EB13 EXT4 CWM 3.0.0.6 MidnightROM 4.2 and rooted of course

so let me get this correct - mainly do I odin EC05 before or after the flash of the ROM?

First what I need to do is odin to EC05 - first what options do I pick in odin, leave it alone - Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked and I pick the "victory_8G_100528.pit" for the PIT and "EC05-modem.tar" for the PDA - everything else left alone? - and how do I know if its "pre-rooted" or not, its the one I downloaded from the lostandtired site?

Second I flash the MidnightROM 5.3 EXT4 Journaling ON - I am coming from 4.2 so do I just do the standard upgrade then the estras folder? - i dont need anything I have on my phone now and can start over with no problem, is that my best method?

the main reason I want to update to 5.3 is that while 4.2 says that the battery popup message was removed, and that is the case the sound still happens which is stupid as hell - who cares if there is a message, its the sound thats the problem - does this version have that removed? - or can I just remove that sound file and have it do nothing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
You shouldn't have to odin anything. Just wipe everything x3 and flash your choice of v5.3 versions. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] lil darlin:
Excellent rom, install went fine, everything seems well except no more visual voice mail,(or any voicemail notification) have used most of Midnights roms and never lost voice mail before ? any ideas......do i need to call sprint and have password reset? thanks

Coming from DK28

I'm coming from DK 28. Anything I should know before I flash? Flashing from the Zip will be ok?

Once I'm on 5.3 will it be ok to restore my apps with titanium?

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
It is advised to not restore apps. What I do, is perform a backup in titanium, flag the rom, use titanium's last pof my apps to find in market. I so restore some things (data for handcent, k-9 email, angry birds, and Launcher Pro) bit the rest is all from scratch. For the most part, restoring can drag problems across roms.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pdappcgeek:
Great.. the answer is much appreciated. A couple of clarifications if I could?:

What is titanium's "last pof".. point of...full backup?

so no need to go to stock or eb13 first, right? Even thoug I'm on EXT4?

For future reference.. when is it ok to backup apps with titanium? When I'm staying within a certain build (e.g. ec05)?.. even when I'm going from different room makers?
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
Sorry, "list of". Damn swype!

You can always backup apps with titanium. But, restoring is where you run into problems. You're better off just reinstalling them from market, always. There are some that won't matter, too much...like games.
[Epic 4G Android Development] maltydog:
This version seems pretty buggy. My camera doesn't work; I had to reinstall the gallery and my pictures still don't appear there; I was pretty happy with 5.2, I think I may move back to it.

Did you install as an upgrade or did you wipe 3x and flash?

I first installed as an upgrade and had problems. I ran into errors stating that I was running out of internal storage space. Wiping 3x and flashing clean solved it. It does entail reinstalling your apps but, it's worth it. Since then, I've not had any problems. This rom is solid.
