I see some roms have "requirements" as that frozo rom has requirements for SPL, radio and ext4 partion. I'm pretty sure all this is out dated on this unit and I don't think I'm on ext4 partion I don't remember converting any data when I flashed cm 4.2
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samsuck:
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 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samsuck:
anyone? it'd be gladly appreciated
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samsuck:
maybe its bad DNS? Is there anyway to change that for the 3g on the Epic?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyward01:
Having the same problem, hope all fix is on the way.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samsuck:
where are you located in in case it's a network issue?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blankrubber:
same problem.

I'm having the same issue. In Knoxville, TN right now and I get 5-6 bars on 3g. Full signal in the house on a wireless G network. It happens on both.

I'm on EB13 with Supernova rom and Genocide oc/uv kernel. So there's some customization there. I can't remember, but I did flash a bunch of eb13 roms/kernels and beieve I got the same effect for all of them.

The only thing I've found is this "data lag" on occurs when the CPU is at max in set cpu. I cannot for the life of me figure out what is causing the cpu to run at BOTH the highest frequency (1Mhz or 1.2Mhz, whichever I hav set) AND 100% cpu load as depicted in various apps. I've killed everything and it still stays at full cpu load, and that's when the browser, emails, messenger, anything that sends/receives data goes wonky.

I may have found a brief workaround. When sending a message, the message send icon may hang for 30 seconds to 1 minute for me when this happens. If I hit home and go back into the messenger app a few times, it seems to speed up the process. I'm not sure but perhaps it's forcing the cpu to focus on sending that message for just long enough to send it.

Update: Odined back to DK28 Modem and flashed ViperROM Trinity (DK28) to see if that fixes the data transfer issues.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samsuck:
I just have stock eb13. This is really frustrating. I'm not familiar with odin or anything like that and explaining this issue to sprint is hopeless
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samsuck:
Update: there is no delay with wifi. Only 3g and 4g. Does that rule out the modem?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PokeAsheep:
In Denver, Co... I am also having the same issue... my ping rate at times is over 300, and anytime I use 3g it takes a good 10-15 seconds to even start data transfer. Didn't have this issue before eb13, ad didn't have I w/ eb13 from samsung website (though I had othr issues) didn't start until after sprint "fixed" my phone....
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samsuck:
I'm a little confused towards the end? You updated via samsungs website? I did too.

What did Sprint do to "Fix" your phone?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyperkub:
May be a dumb question, but have you all tried updating the PRL in settings since updating?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blankrubber:
An update on my situation:

I'm running same as before, but since ViperROM is compatible with both the DK28 and EB13 modems, I left everything identical other than the DK28 modem. I no longer have any data lag whatsoever, and my CPU is running fine. No more max frequency clock and max cpu load.

I'd be curious to know if updating the PRL fixed this issue as well.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samsuck:
Hey before you fixed your issue was it happening on wifi?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samsuck:
Yup, i updates my prl and profile. I even did a hard reset theough the 3 finger boot and ##rtn#

I have no lag whatsoever in data transfer using wifi. Can someone please inform me if wifi and 3g use same modem? Sorry im new to alot of this stuff
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endurance1:
Oh my god, i am so happy someone brought up this issue. let me tell you my story:

i had my epic for 28 days. Ive been noticing the data "hangs" all the time. things like kik messenger time out, market says loading forever and times out, all kinds of issues, 20% of the time, the other 80% the data is snappy and works fine.... Well on the 28th day, i was pissed. i unrooted my phone, reflashed it with stock eb13, brought it to the sprint store and told them i want a new phone because this one is defective, i told them i had it on 2.1 and now on 2.2 i got a brand new epic 2 days ago, and im noticing the same thing, it doesnt seem as bad but what the F*** is going on with the data? I never updated this one to the eb13 because i dont like being rom-less. and wanted to wait for the new bonsai rom eb13 build. I am currently running bonsai 2.0.1 with the OC kernal and gingerbread theme on dk28, only other thing i got on is no battery complete sounds. i even deleted things like screebl and juice defender thinking maybe it was that. i dont know what the problem is...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samsuck:
Okay this is weird. I just noticed that there is no lag in data transfer when using the xda app and when zooming into a map on Google naps you've never opened before. Its like certain things have priority?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A_Flying_Fox:
I've noticed that ever snce going o dk28 for the first time.

I'm used to it so it doesn't annoy me as much any more, but it sucks tapping something and seeing the reaction 10 seconds later.......

I blame it on the sprint ping.

This also happens on wifi sometimes, but I blame that on the router and internet over here...can't wait till I'm home in nyc so I can really test out eb13 in 3g and 4g
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blankrubber:
It was happening on wifi, yes, or it wouln't have been THAT big of an issue for me, hahah. And it only happened when cpu load was at 100%. If anyone wants to see if this does parallel the "data hangs," I believe there's a free app on the market called process manager that will show you cpu load. Try it out and let us know. If this is the case, it really would be an issue of system process priority like mentioned by Samsuck.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samsuck:
Can you provide exact name of the app? Is it Process Manager lite? Let me try and I'll let you know what happens.

Edit: okay, i don't think that app was it.

I have watchdog. lol it says 20 percent CPU usage
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blankrubber:
Process Monitor Widget is the app name. The bars at the top of the idget show your relevent information. And whenever you start seeing thse crfazy data hangs, check to see if cpu frequency is at its highest and cpu load is 100%. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Interesting, it jumps from around 15 to 45 percent on Dolphin during the data hangs.

However, its absolutely flawless with WIFI.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blankrubber:
I actually only tried GO SMS, the default messenger, and default browser for mine. Give it a day or two of normal usage and see if it ever goes into that 100% state. If not, then my hypothesis on the issue may not be it and we can move on to figure out something else =P.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Yeah, I keep playing with it. Watchdog gives me alerts saying Dolphin is consuming alot of CPU but it's only about 20% by itself.

If it works on WIFI does that rule out the modem?

I appreciate the help btw.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Okay so now I tested a site with wifi and it loaded fine, with 3g I get the page cannot be dispalyed error.

I think it's the DNS. Could I assign 8.8.8.8 google dns? Also, what is Home agent IP? I found that settings through ##3282#. Changing anything in there make a difference?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blankrubber:
Well, the home agent provides your gateway to the Internet from the wireless network. They're setup in countries all over the country, and apparently you're not always connected to the one that provides you the quickest or best connection. As far as all the numbers, IPs, and DNS crap, I don't know enough about to comment.

Good luck with all this, and I'd like to know more about it, too. Hopefully the next round of rom releases on EB13 and the like will be able to fix this issue. Until then, I'm sticking with DK28. FYI, Samsung did stop the automatic updates on its release because of issues with this data upload/download thing, but they still have it available on their site. The source was linked on another thread I can't find atm.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Yeah I see. The issue kinda makes me want to get rid of my Epic entirely. Too bad I run linux and have absolutely no familiarity with odin or I'd try to wipe. My theory is that the DNS server I'm on is malfunctioning. That and a combination of latency issues. It's also unfortunate that I can't run a tracerouter in the terminal emulator. I'd like to see what's going on in the background while I'm trying to go to the websites.

Something else that I just noticed is once i get to the website that I want even if its takes a while. If i start clicking links that resolve to the same domain for example. I go to blahblah.com and it takes a while for the data to transfer, well once i get the page up, and say i click on a link on the page that takes me to blahblah.com/example.php it loads up like it did in DL18. The transfer starts immediately. If i click on a link that goes outside of the initial domain, the transfer delay starts all over again.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endurance1:
thats the same thing that happens with me. Im in green bay WI.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I can't seem to figure out if it's network related and phone related, or both :(
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endurance1:
im willing to bet its 100% phone related.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Its fixed :) apparently it must've been the sprint later network.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I honestly thought it was eb13. That was strange. It just started working fine after 5:00 pm cst.

There's another thing I've noticed that I don't really mind lol but thought it'd be interesting to share. when you pull down your notification bar does it say sprint? Mine won't and it only did once or twice without updating the profile and prl
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endurance1:
mine never got fixed, i just recently updated to eb13 for the second time, im still having all my data hang. example: when i open market it has the white screen and says loading for like 10 seconds before the data even starts flowing, sometimes it even times out.

Having the same problem

Completely new to all this, but I'm having the same problem.

I have already installed a custom ROM successfully, but it started boot looping due to me having old firmware.

I updated the firmware with PC companion to latest version, rerooted, and tried again, but now I am unable to boot into Xrecovery. I have tried a few different versions of busybox and xrecovery, but nothing worked.

I just did a factory reset, and formatted the SD card, and now I am unable to paste files into sytem/bin using root explorer.

Just use busybox from the original xrecovery package, do not I repeat do not install

busybox from the market.

I coudnt get in xRev with market busybox but with org busybox it loaded perfectly.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] leadguy68:
Since im not a dev, i dont have the chops to figure this out.... but I would definately donate to a dev that can figure this out.

Is hdmi mirroring possible?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ranova:
in build.prop theres this:

changing the first line to true WORKS only at boot, it correctly mirrors what you see on your phone. but once the phone is done booting, it kicks the TV to a black screen and the phone asks you if you want to open up the entertainment app or do nothing.

So mirroring is there, its just blocked by something on boot.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] krkeegan:
Have you tried disabling webtop? It sounds like the app takes over control of the HDMI port once started.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ranova:
how do you do that?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] eatkabab:
omg yes how do you do that. please, thank you thank you thank you. they're such assholes for blocking this very basic task and wanting you to buy the stupid dock
[Atrix 4G Android Development] krkeegan:
Sorry, I just ordered my phone, so I don't have one to tinker with yet. But maybe you can use titanium backup to freeze the app. If it doesn't show up as an app, maybe you can use autostarts to try and stop it. Finally, the last idea I have is to poke around in the init scripts to find the offending app. All of this is just speculation, but since you can see mirroring at bootup I think it is pretty clear that the webtop app is causing the issue.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bendoe91z28:
I can confirm this. It boots to the homescreens. I got to unlock and touch a widget. Then it disappeared, the box came up asking if I wanted to connect to the entertainment center.

I back through my apps with titanium backup and froze anything regarding hdmi. The entertainment box went away, but it still takes away hdmi mirroring.

I didn't have any results with autostarts either, but I don't really know what to look for.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] clubtech:
Tried to freeze up some services with Titanium backup - no luck so far.

There is something happening during the boot process which disables the mirroring.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Tried this also. Same results.

I went into Titanium Backup and deleted the Entertainment Center application as well as a couple of other ones I thought might be the reason. But, it still switched off to a black screen after a few seconds.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Beach_Head:
Any updates on this?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] krkeegan:
I still don't have a phone yet, but I had another realization.

When you plug in the HDMI cord, the phone pops up with options regarding what to display. i.e. the webtop or the entertainment center. Ergo, something lower in the OS than the webtop is blocking the HDMI port.

However, my thought is, rather than block this, we need to figure out how to make another entry in this list. So the options read, webtop, entertainment, and mirroring.

Unfortunately this may require waiting for Moto to release the code. It will also require someone with coding skill. I for one have never worked with Android and have very poor experience with even Java.
