This happened to me as well (no addy) when I got Froyo on the Vibrant. I unistalled the latest update now I get addresses. seems to be a prob w/the app, there are market comments about it too.
[Epic 4G General] crawrj:
Yeah I stopped over thinking it (really anal) about an hour ago and did just that. And yes it worked perfectly!
[Epic 4G General] :
hmm, i uninstalled the updates and still no luck man :(

this really blows.

oh well, i guess i can just use the compass app when I need to tell someone where I'm at, or send them coordinates
[Epic 4G General] slybarman:
Seems like all media - Pandora, Youtube, music, etc is much too quiet now when played through the device speaker. These all used to play quite loudly before.
[Epic 4G General] crawrj:
I just tried it again from my house and it shows the location. I have the newest version of maps on my phone.
[Epic 4G General] :
Hmm, thanks for all your help guys. I really appreciate. I'll see what I can do. I'm not familiar with odin at all. I guess i can deal with it.
[Epic 4G General] faceless:
yeah, i deleted ultimate stopwatch when i saw the default clock app had a stopwatch. as for gaps, maybe it's because of how they handle organizing now? it doesn't just sort alphabetically by default.

i used the update.zip and it shows my location in google maps
[Epic 4G General] crawrj:
Ok I tried another bluetooth and dolphin hd and it still does it. It only does it with flash content playing within the browser and only on bluetooth. Playing through the speaker works fine.
[Epic 4G General] incisivekeith:
I was wondering about this, too. Media playback is quieter for sure.

This is the first time I am using apps2sd, and am wondering if it is normal to not have the icons of all the apps on the SD card load for at least two minutes after a reboot. It's a little frustrating to not see the icons of the apps and just see a generic android icon just because the apps reside of the SD card. Is there a solution to this issue? I am on Stock EB13 ROM and rooted.
[Epic 4G General] swears11:
audio output doesn't work with the Samsung car mount.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
For everyone wondering, the "Wireless Tether" app is available on the Market and works 100% correctly with the Epic. Use that one to be sure you are doing it right.
[Epic 4G General] SoxIn4:
No, phone was up and running all day long
[Epic 4G General] :
That was odd, i uninstalled the updates twice and it didn't work, and i thought id try it again, pull the battery and voila, it says my address.

now i wonder if it'll work if i reinstall the update? hmmm.
[Epic 4G General] ae69ae:
Text Messages Won't Send

Something is wrong with text messages. I sent a couple dozen text messages, and I noticed they all said "Sending"--they didn't send, and no one go my text messages until right now (i was able to call).

This is how I made them send [all of them at the same time].

Rebooting didn't work.

Go to gallery and send any picture to someone. After the picture sent, all the text messages went along with it and everyone got all the text messages I had sent through the day.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Try reflashing
[Epic 4G General] bigboi3021:
I can confirm that I am having audio routing issues, I never had this issue with DK28 so I'm a little pissed as I am a heavy BT user.
[Epic 4G General] themirthfulswami:
New bug just cropped up for me. My phone wouldn't send sms messages anymore. They would stay in "sending" status, though I could still receive them. Toggling airplane mode didn't fix but a reboot did.

We'll see if it happns again.
[Epic 4G General] emeryfan0721:
The Format SD card thing fixed all my errors: camera crash, clock issues, calendar issues.
[Epic 4G General] carnivalrejectq:
is anybody NOT expiriencing the low framerate in low lighting bug on the camera/video camera?!? and if so what did you to not expirience this?
[Epic 4G General] belyakov1976:
Yup, BT still borked for me. Yesterday it wouldn't connect during calls. Also if I turn off BT, and the turn it back on, I have to repair my headset. This is using the update.zip on stock DI18. Odin'd the full TAR, will update after further testing. However, it's looking more and more like we got DK28+:mad:
[Epic 4G General] ryno502:
I flashed the update.zip file, does the exe method require DI18?
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
Doesn't matter what you have. the exe method wipes your phone and does a fresh install
[Epic 4G General] ryno502:
Ok. I am gonna format my sd card and do the exe method and see how it effects performance. It seems like people that used the exe method are having less issues.
[Epic 4G General] bondosho:
Not sure if this has been said, but you can't seem to set the UA String anymore. The option has disappeared.
[Epic 4G General] incisivekeith:
Just noted that the sound bursts (with low fidelity) at the maximum volume for media - this never happened with Eclair. Is there anyone else experiencing this?
[Epic 4G General] ae69ae:
Same thing happened to me--the reboot didn't do anything.

I sent a picture and all the messages sent at the same time.
[Epic 4G General] rmartinez2:
I didn't read through all 25 pages sorry. However, the issue I've seen (I'm on the deodexed stock using the black alien theme) when I go to send texts sometimes it stays in "sending" status until I restart the phone.
[Epic 4G General] Eazail70x7:
EB13 can't keep apps running in the background as efficiently/long as DI18 could! Sigh...

I could keep apps in the background all day without them being prematurely killed in the background. Dolphin, angry birds, games, etc. On 2.2 it's a no go :(
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
That's not a bug, FroYo has that as an intentional feature to prevent apps from running rampant and burning through your battery.
[Epic 4G General] tripleoptic:
display not sleeping properly issue?

so in 2.1 there seemed to be an issue with DRM crap from samsung media hub and android not letting the phone sleep correctly resulting in the display % to always be high.

I disabled a few services i read posts about and it extended my battery a ton.

in 2.2 I'm seeing the same issue, but... now all i can find is com.sec.android.providers.drm aka DRM content.

disabling this does not seem to resolve the high display battery usage issue.

anyone know a way of lowering that by modifying any services etc. ? thanks.
[Epic 4G General] nebrando:
1) Open your app drawer

2) Menu > Edit > Menu (again) > Sort A-Z

That will take care of your sorting issue.

That drove me nuts as well!!
[Epic 4G General] cpcormier3:
I did the exe and went through and manually added all my apps back. I really haven't experienced any of those bugs. The tws is still there but you can do airplane mode toggle, although it didn't drain my battery as much as 2.1. I haven't had any of the bugs on mine.

I haven't tried killing the DRM, is that a problem on EB13?
[Epic 4G General] lbe:
youtube and video streaming does not work when toggled 4G wimax, They worked only in 3g and wifi. Reflashed EB13 with exe file still same thing. can anyone confirm?

Never have this problem on DI18 connecting from the same living room i am at.

Edit update

Started working all of a sudden in the next morning. Possibly wase sever relate problem.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
Touchwiz crashes every time I switch from Portrait to Landscape at the home screen. I say crash, because all the icons but the bottom row disappear, including the numbering dots corresponding to the home screen. The icons eventually reappear after 10-20 seconds. This happens EVERY time. Never happened with DI18.

I did an upgrade rather than a flash. Are there any fixes for this? Another user apparently had this problem despite a wipe/install. This is slowing my phone use waaaay down every time I need to do a Google search, or God forbid, forget to close the slider before I exit an application. Any takers?
[Epic 4G General] adelmundo:
I can also confirm I am getting the same issue with the still camera and using the Sport setting. All other settings work fine, but when I choose Sports setting, the camera force closes.

can other people test and confirm this? I wonder if this is a widespread bug.
[Epic 4G General] jrjpoohscell:
I can't find tiger text now? & quite a few other apps.. is that bc it's not compatible?
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
God dammit Samsung.

Confirmed

4G + Youtube streaming via the youtube app = Not working

4G + Youtube streaming in browser = Working
[Epic 4G General] :
works for me in the app, but only after i went into the market, and downloaded the youtube app. despite the fact it was already installed, it still gave me the option to install and it works perfect in 4g.
[Epic 4G General] zombiematt:
i first used the update.zip and i had so many problem my phone was unusable. it wouldnt even ring and if i tried to assign a ringer it would lock up and id have to remove the battery. the camera didnt work, rotate didnt work apps closed etc. so i wiped my phone clean and installed the full eb13 rom

not the update.zip. since ive had no problems with it. i also installed the gingerbread launcher, its cooler than TWlauncher, i reinstalled all my apps from the market. lost all my game saves and scores but, my phone is rock solid and everything works now.

well ALMOST everything... the built in tethering in the network and settings options does not work, however i think this is due to sprint blocking it and not froyo. im assuming if you pay the $30 a month for hotspot, it would probably work. correct me if im wrong.
[Epic 4G General] Tirregius:
I tried out Modern Combat 2 and it runs flawlessly. Possibly even smoother than it was with Eclair.

Dungeon Defenders seems to have similar performance - I thought that it might have been a bit slower in the rendering department, but it may well be the same. I have no concrete evidence that it is slower. I might well be more critical due to the fact that I'm paying particular attention to the performance since the new OS.

NFS Shift also runs flawlessly. Seems locked @ max FPS regardless of on-screen activity.

Still, the most impressive feature of the phone since Froyo is the media decoding. I am completely blown away at the quality this phone is capable of. Avatar @ 1500kps H.264 video + 448kbps raw/untouched AC3 5.1 audio using high-end headphones sounds like a $20,000 surround system. The video quality in a dark room with the saturation and black level this thing is capable of is stunning. The phone seems to really like the MKV format.

Go get a copy of Handbrake and start moving over some of you favorite DVDs to your Epic. I never thought I'd enjoy watching a movie on my phone, let alone prefer it!
[Epic 4G General] Tirregius:
mattallica76,

I'm sorry to hear that games aren't performing well for you. What's your Smartbench 2010 score with EB13? Mine seems a bit lower in the graphics department, but I think this benchmark is not a very complete test of GPU performance as it really only tests a small subset of the GPU features. I'm taking it with a grain of salt, to say the least.

I'm a interested in root access and possibly replacing the stock kernel, however my phone is a mission-critical piece of hardware in my daily life and I'm hesitant to tamper with low-level functioning of the phone if there's even the odd chance that it might cause basic functioning of the phone to fail or become compromised.

I'm sure this issue is and has been addressed at length, but in the context of this new EB13 update, maybe I can stretch the topic a bit and ask if anyone can shed some light of that subject to convince me one way or the other.

P.S. - I've decided that the stock browser is essentially broken for me. The graphical corruption during pinch-to-zoom function (which I use all the time) is unbearable. With any moderately complex page using pinch-to-zoom causes the entire screen to turn checkerboard and garbled bits of the page to jump around wildly - not really even giving the impression of "enlarging" or "shrinking." I can't imagine that this is typical all EB13 installations. Again, I used the Samsung update tool and left my SD card untouched. I understand that the phone was basically factory reset after the reflash. The only wildcard in the equation is the SD card.

Should I try to reflash? Any suggestions? Are you guys on EB13 experiencing the same issues with the stock browser? Dolphin works fine.

Thanks in advance!
[Epic 4G General] Tirregius:
Oh, one more thing -

Highlighting a clickable item in the browser with the arrow keys and then using "enter" key to click it no longer works. What do you do to "select" a highlighted item you navigate to with the arrow keys?

(before posting this, I attempted to find something on this issue and it turns out that the issue is widespread - all EVO Shift phones cannot select a highlighted item with "enter.")
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
4G youtube app working!!

I did the update.zip from samsung for my update. Works perfect, very fast.

Did nothing else but the EB13 update.
[Epic 4G General] Mist3rJ3r3my:
My "Sprint" string has disappeared from the pull down menu that's right above the notifications, since updating to eb13.

I guess this isn't a big deal but I'd like to see it there since there is just an unused grey space there now.
[Epic 4G General] Jedi2155:
Is it just me or did anyone else lose the ability to adjust brightness by swiping the notification bar?

I loved that feature and used it regularly depending on what I was doing to conserve battery or go outside....I want it back badly :(.
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
It hasn't been on the epic. It's on other 2.2 devices though. Samsung probably screwed it up though.
[Epic 4G General] nicholishen:
Can you please ADD the electronic white noise/buzz coming through the audio channel?

This is like nails on a chalkboard for my audiophile ears! Reminds me of my hero with oc kernels.

For those with not so sensitive ears, you can hear it through your headphones after pausing Pandora, etc. It persists for a couple seconds then stops. It starts again immediately once the media server comes on with audio.

Pause> unpause. You'll see what I mean...
[Epic 4G General] nicholishen:
Try hold for a sec like a screen selection, then slide finger. I actually like it better. It prevents accidental brightness changes.
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
I noticed the activities and media tab under each contact still doesn't work in froyo.
[Epic 4G General] zetterwing:
I've noticed that the gallery triggers a sensor to run wild and keep the phone from sleeping.
[Epic 4G General] incisivekeith:
The upside-down method did fix my rotation lag issue, but I had to calibrate my compass using GPS Status. Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] rocket321:
Notification LED - just as crappy as DI18 (blinks 4 times, then after a while once more, then off until you hit power button and it starts over.)
[Epic 4G General] zeroox:
Roaming - not sure if this would fall into a bug. My cell reception in my office has never been great. I was always able to send and recieve text and emails. usualy would have 1 bar. I updated last night and now I am roaming with 0 bars and unable to send text just says sending.

I do not know if this is a bug if its not please feel free to yell at me and send me on my way.

If there is more information I can provide let me know.

thank you

Had a problem with perpetual syncing...

Removed and re-added all of my accounts, FB, Gmail, Ymail, Exchange (stock app and Touchdown). Syncs were all done (all data & contacts loaded) still would not stop.

Cleared cache & dav x3-> reboot-> manually turned off all syncs-> reboot clear all again x3-> reboot turned on syncs again and finally stopped syncing (unless it needed to)
[Epic 4G General] Drezzy:
I'm having an issue when I go into the stock camera and it will force close every time I put the camera in Sports mode. Anybody having this issue also? :(
[Epic 4G General] incisivekeith:
This has been reported by several of us. I just tested it and have the same issue.
[Epic 4G General] fuji6:
I think it's sd card/files related. Same thing was happening to me. Try your music player too. It'll probably do the same.

Unmounted my sd card and it went away. Formatted my card and it's gone. I had to copy my data back to my card, but left off anything that I thought could have been part of that problem.

Still a bug though since the update caused it.
[Epic 4G General] adelmundo:
Yup same here. Other than that, I think everything has been working fine for me on Froyo so far (of all the things I have tried and tested so far).

FWIW I did the update.zip from the SD card method using the stock recovery and just had to reroot. All apps and data were intact and did not have to recover.
[Epic 4G General] adelmundo:
Music player works fine. I will try moving the data off my card and formatting it and see if that works.
[Epic 4G General] csundara:
I tried a brand new SD card, formatted it, and still have the issue with the camera force closing with sport mode and requiring a soft reset. I'm glad it worked for you.
[Epic 4G General] :
Hi, I'm having this odd issue. I've heard of everyone complain about slow data 3g speeds and mine seem to be normal, im getting around 1 mbps, however there is a delay in getting data transferred every since I switched in EB13. For example, when I go use the browser, I have my homepage set as Google and it'll take around 10 seconds for it to start transferring the data and then display Google. It also does this on apps, i'll have to wait for the transfer to start. I've tried reset via stock recovery, updating profile and prl, going in ##3283 and changing some things.

Any ideas? Is the modem just that bad?
[Epic 4G General] abduljaffar:
works fine on all builds. You probably have auto light on the ON position. That kills it.
[Epic 4G General] abduljaffar:
everyones got that bug.

Protected Apps are now showing up in the Market. Google must have added the EB13 fingerprint. You can get NY Times, etc.

Ill add my feedback. Eb13 rocks! :>

From My Samsung Epic Using TapaTalk.
[Epic 4G General] Mushmaster:
Omg?
[Epic 4G General] skyward01:
The only issue I've had so far is the slow 3g speeds. The fix from the op works, but I have to do it a couple times a day. Very annoying! Is this a modem issue?
[Epic 4G General] adelmundo:
Camera lag and FC in sports mode has been fixed thanks to mkasick

Link is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=970452

I have tried it using Odin and it works fine. All data and settings intact. Camera lag and FCs are gone.
[Epic 4G General] arashed31:
Updated with all the bugs I can think of. Other problems in this thread I've noticed are from Samsung apps or stock apps modified by Samsung that can't handle the old 2.1 data structure.

Basically, if you're having problems the best choice is to use Titanium to back up only your USER APPS, format back to stock, update to 2.2, and then restore them after.
[Epic 4G General] Greenarcher707:
My market keeps force closing. Im on stock EB13 from Odin. Any suggestions?
[Epic 4G General] niv3d:
I know the slow or not working 3G issues have been brought up but what fixes other than the OP are available? My 3G speeds get soo bad I can't even browse the web on my phone... can this only be fixed once sprint releases the final "final" froyo?
[Epic 4G General] arashed31:
Move any apps on your SD card to the phone and then try this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11549796&postcount=146

And after deleting those files go into recovery mode and clear your Cache partition.
[Epic 4G General] gremlyn1:
As for the status bar brightness swiping action, I found that it is only INITIALLY les sensitive. Give it a try by changing your brightness level and then leave your finger in place and go back to how you had it before, you'll find the sensitivity is back after the first swipe. Well, at least I do.
[Epic 4G General] nicholishen:
2.2 actually utilizes the touch hold function on the notification bar. This prevents you from accedentally changing the brightness when dragging down the notification bar. For example if you pull the notif bar down in direct sunlight and mistakenly make it dark, you're screwed. Touch hold the notification bar and notice how the bar pops out then dissapears when it changes to brightness mode.
[Epic 4G General] Jedi2155:
Has anyone been able to fix the horrible compass issue besides attempting to calibrate the device upside down? That fix never worked for me and just made the portrait/landscape mode swapping really slow (swapping works great otherwise).

My compass being useless has caused more than a few embarrassing group moments such as going walking the wrong direction down a dark Hollywood street....next time don't trust your phone...or double check everything. Almost got killed by gang bangers haha.

Another issue I wonder if anyone else has is the device occasionally takes a long time to load the apps after switching to the home screen/app drawer (loading icon when showing apps). It was never this bad in DI18 and it feels like RFS is probably at fault. I'm afraid to switch EXT4 as I last read that Bluetooth was broken in the last kernel if anyone can confirm otherwise let me know!
[Epic 4G General] Kawinma:
Thanks, but the NYT app seems way better, at least visually. I'll try it out though!

sitting on my couch, about 12 to 15 feet from the nearest window, on the main floor of a 2 story house, i get a lock on 7/10 satellites within about 6 seconds.

After i installed the update.zip, i did a ##RTN#.. this fixed my GPS on DK28 so i figured i'd try it w/ EB13 and POW.. worky :)

hope this helps

My phone has been syncing forever and I don't know what it is syncing to. My Calendar didn't load up my dates properly and is failing to sync with Google to get them. And the market website is not displaying my device as SPH D700 either.
[Epic 4G General] iil:
Count me as another with Calendar issues. I use smooth calendar and nothing populated.

I tried to root but that was a no go (phone not connected), although it worked two weeks ago.

Ended up resetting the device, did not fix anything so I'm now downloading samsungs little flash toy tool thing.
[Epic 4G General] Forcystos:
Could someone test if audio routing issues are still present before I waste my time? Audio routing issues are basically things like having to toggle speaker in a call to get sound, or having all sounds play through the earpiece instead of the speaker after you've been in a call using bluetooth.
[Epic 4G General] Orbiting234:
I can't get GPS to work with the browser. My GPS works fine in Maps and other apps, but for instance on the Google homepage, location is always unknown even though the GPS radio is turned on and "enable location" is checked in the browser settings. The GPS radio never pops up on the notification bar no matter how many times I try to get the location to update on that page or other location based functions in the browser. Under both DI18 and DK28 this feature worked flawlessly. Anyone else having this problem?
[Epic 4G General] Orbiting234:
Only thing I've tried so far is voice commands via bluetooth and I can say that it is indeed finally working with EB13!
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
You may want to consider that a blessing in disguise - the worst issue I saw on this phone was that GPS would cause lockups on the google.com homepage and nothing I did or changes to settings would fix it. But, I assume you looked at the master GPS settings right? Toggling them might do something.
[Epic 4G General] lbe:
