Text Messages Not Sending

Update. Text messages not sending again. I receive them but when I send them they just say "sending."

I've tried restarting. Sending a picture(since that worked last time), turning on and off wifi, 4g, airplane mode. Nothing works.

:(

For those with the TWS issues, update your profile and PRL. I had TWS issues before doing so, and after doing it they are absolutely gone. This rom does NOT have a TWS issue when your profile and PRL is up to date.

Hi All, I did the update from Samsung website.

Serious battery drain.

Checkerboard effect on some websites, seems like the load time is slower.

Video in low light does get really blurry.

Everything else works just fine.
[Epic 4G General] incisivekeith:
Yes, I agree. As SamsungJohn has been communicating with the mods, I would appreciate if a mod tweets a link to this thread to SamsungJohn. I believe the communication with SamsungJohn would be better channeled via a mod. If a mod is reading this thread, please provide your input. Thank you.

Wiped and updated from stock DI18, rooted with CWM using the Samsung updater from the website.

The audio out on the desktop dock and navigation mount STILL don't work, even though this was something that was promised! :mad:

I've done a factory reset several times and cleared all the data, and every once in awhile the phone will suddenly hang up and go into a slow-motion mode for several minutes, completely unresponsive. The screen will shut off and not power on again until whatever's hanging it up passes.
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
used update.zip

this is a bit of a whine and a bug (i think) rolled into one

the call log now shows all messages along with all calls. which sucks. there's an option in the menu that you can show incoming OR outgoign calls only, but not both. plus it doesn't save the option once you exit and reenter. it goes back to showign all messages and calls again
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
there's a link floating around somewhere that has the correct docks for froyo and the galaxy s line. that should make the line out work

Updated via zip file on Samsung website from never rooted stock Eclair

Getting a few of other issues previously posted, but didn't notice that these issues had been brought up:

- Getting about a 2 second lag when hitting the power button to come back from standby. This is not random and occurs every time. Also occurs when opening keyboard from standby mode. Keyboard lights up immediately, but screen will not come back on for about 2 seconds. In 2.1, this was instant.

- When playing audio from a website with flash, playback is fine through speaker or plugged in headphones. However, when playing via bluetooth headset, audio plays back in a constant stutter.

Networking

CDMA 1xRTT still displays as 3G in the status bar.
[Epic 4G General] badasscat:
Here's mine:

Method: Samsung's .exe, wiped the phone.

#1: I have the camcorder lag, bad. Camcorder is absolutely useless in anything but bright sunlight.

#2: TWS issue is still present, even with updated PRL.

#3: Accelerometer/magnetometer will not calibrate. Tried upside down and sideways and everything else. My phone either gets stuck thinking it's pointing one direction, or it's about 30 degrees off if it does move, and it goes into landscape mode when at about a 45 degree angle. (I've calibrated both the display and compass separately; neither will calibrate.)

Otherwise things are pretty good for me. But that first bug, especially, is a killer.
[Epic 4G General] tsumi83:
same issues

Ran EXE from samsung website on absolutely stock wiped 2.1

while there a few (1) things I do like about eb13.... im going to put it back to di18 tonight...

Camcorder in low light... sucks

delay when going to homescreen and opening or closing keyboard... killer

messages showing in log.... retarded and horrible as i get tons of each

gps lock... not so much.... i know these are bad for gps but i had no probs in di18

PAYPAL APP "isnt compatible"... wth!?

checkerboard browser and seems slower (could just be me)

when i tap the power to suspend or w/e it sometimes brings the screen back to life! ZOMBIE SAMLOED!

bluetooth keeps disconnecting and takes a while to connect to plantronics

cant dial using keypad and last name... dealbreaker, sorry!

overall, system seems LESS responsive

only good thing so far is the "upside down" landscape...

so yea, im doing a complete wipe and going back to 2.1...

ps does the new (3.0 pre 10 exp) wireless tether work on 2.1 as it does on the new eb13?

EDIT:

oof, just noticed my sig....

ahh, ill leave it for nostalgia

Are others still getting the screen flickering on all-white full brightness screens? I know I noticed it under dk28 but never on 2.1, just thought they would have fixed that by now. You know that "rolling flicker" it does like its way too much brightness for the screen to handle? Just wanna know if I need a new phone or just new software...

No other issues that I have seen.

update method: odin'd to stock DI18, then update.zip to EB13

issues:

Horrible camcorder lag in low light

Force close when choosing sport in scene mode (camera). After this the phone screen won't come on from sleep. Have to pull the battery, then everything's fine.

Earlier today i also had an odd issue w/ launcher pro staying running even when the phone was off (CPU @100%) but that just happened today.
[Epic 4G General] rocket321:
Method: Stock (but rooted) using update.zip from samsung website.

Issues to add to list:

LED: Notification LED is still sporadic and unreliable.

Browser: Drop shadow in browser disappears when scrolling

Camera:

Camera & Camcorder are very laggy. In the camera app if you turn the scene to night mode it works perfectly, but there are no scenes for camcorder so this will not help us with video.

Disabled GPS system wide from the pull down, then ended task on camera and re-opened. Camera is still obtaining GPS lock.

Non-issues for me:

GPS

Compass

Rotation Lag

Details: GPS speed/accuracy now matches other phones in my house. I just tested again, in my basement on a cloudy day and got a lock in less than 30 seconds. While outside yesterday I got locks even faster. Haven't needed to clear gps stats or anything. Also my sensors work fine. I've never had to recalibrate anything (ever). Rotation speed is same as on di18, very quick.

Question for those of you with compass or rotation lag issues

- have you previously flashed non-stock ROMs and used the recalibrate tools? Maybe thats why you are having problems now?

I have serious concern about this because updating your PRL actually toggles off and back on your radio which is the same thing as doing the airplane mode trick. We need more testing/confirmation it is actually fixed.

Edit - reorganized, added categories
[Epic 4G General] crawrj:
Method of update:

I was on Stock DI18 fully loaded. Did a factory reset, didn't realize a sumsung tool was going to be released, erased cache from recovery and formatted the SD card. Did the install with the Samsung Utility.

List of issues/bugs:

Sound/Volume:-

None that I can tell

Android Browser:-

- Checkerboard issue (doesn't bother me it only happens for a split second)

- Unable to open more than four links. The "Open in new window" option does not appear if there are already four windows open (I wouldn't call this a bug as I am sure that was by design)

Camera/Camcorder/Video:-

- While recording video in low light, the video lags a lot, rendering the camcorder essentially useless for capturing precious moments anywhere and everywhere (I have this same issue. It is blurry in low light)

- Selecting the "Sport" mode on the camera force closes the camera app (Don't have this problem)

Screen:-

None that I can tell

Radio:-

Have the Time Without Signal issue even after updating profile and prl.

GPS:-

No problems. Locks instantly within 1 meter.

Gsensor:-

- The direction shown by the pointer in Google Maps is wrong by 180 degrees (Had this problem and resolved with the upside down calibration)

Operating System:-

- I have several apps moved to the SD card. After a reboot, icons for the apps which reside on the SD card, do not load for a minute or so. (Experienced this problem. Looks like it is the media scan that causes the problem. I disabled it long enough to test and could not duplicate the problem.)

I have not discovered any other problems. I tried to duplicate as many issues as I could from this thread and the above is all that I could get to happen.
[Epic 4G General] Orbiting234:
Stock DI18, factory reset, update.zip update.

Absolutely abysamal 3G download speeds. I can barely hit 100kbps with EB13!
[Epic 4G General] twolostminds:
Update on my previous bug post.

Still have TWS issue after suggested fix by OP to update profile. Profile was already current but did anyway. After updating profile TWS dropped rapidly but upon reboot issue returns.

Device volume. Maximum sound is definitely lower on EB13 than previous releases DI18 & DK28.

Camcorder records poorly in low light conditions. Reproduced conditions in my kitchen of recording done on DI18 and compared to recording on EB13. Poor contrast and blurring noted in latter recording.

Camera: Just started testing camera and can confirm crash when selecting Sport Mode.

Will update further as I obtain reliable test results.
[Epic 4G General] zstuart:
I did a wipe and reload via ODIN

The only problem I have run across is the battery indicator is WAY off.

The first notch doesn't go down until after 80% so it looks like I have way more of a battery than I do. I know 2.1 had this issue too, but it seems to have worsened.

Has anyone else had this problem??
[Epic 4G General] incisivekeith:
Thank you, mods, for making this a sticky.

Everyone, please keep posting your issues, although the EB13 update has been officially retracted from Samsung and Sprint. The issues/bugs we will collectively come up with, will certainly provide the developers an easy "To-fix" list, now that they have acknowledged the issues, and are planning to rectify them (I hope, quite soon).

I do not recall being limited to a certain number of windows in the Android browser on Eclair, that's why I listed it here.
[Epic 4G General] diffdrummer:
Decreased battery life w/ update? Potential, unintuitive fix

So I upgraded from stock to stock using upgrade.zip on my SD card.

All is working well. The only bothersome things I noticed bad were:

o contacts wouldn't load: (fixed by erasing the contact cache)

o Wifi speedtests slowed way down &

o battery life deteriorated (I know.. most are seeing the exact opposite).

Being lazy and not wanting to wipe out my entire phone & sd card. I simply:

o Powered down

o Removed SD Card

o Powered up

o Powered down

o Re-inserted my existing SD card (as is/was)

o Powered up again

Now, inexplicably, I get great battery life and my wifi speeds are flying again.

There is no reason, as far as I can tell, that this should work. But it seems to have done the trick for me. So I figured I'd share in case anybody else has had my Epic Weirdness.
[Epic 4G General] fsc137:
Lost the display entirely

Method of upgrade: I had Bonsai4All 2.0.1 and CWM 3.0.0.5 with ext4

and many apps on the SD card.

I followed these instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=897612

to upgrade to EB13. (flashed to EB13 multi-filesystem with CWM)

Everything went smoothly with the upgrade and things worked OK for a while.

There were no noticible improvements, really.

I saw the camera/sport bug and the google pointer bug, but these had been

present under DK28.

However, after a few minutes of operation, the screen went blank (perhaps as a result of a normal idle timeout) and I could not get it to come back on!!!! The phone was still on and doing things, and would emit a beep and vibrate in response to some screen touches, but I was operating blind. I couldn't even get it to turn off, because I couldn't see the "confirm" button.

So, I pulled the battery, rebooted to CWM, and re-installed Bonsai4All using CWM and restored "system data" from Titanium backup. Now everything seems to be back to working as well as before the EB13 "upgrade". (That is to say, most things working fine, had to do the upside-down calibration thing once.)

No more experiments for me, until there's something better than Bonsai4All 2.0.1

Additional information: Even after restoring Bonsai4All with CWM, I continued to have the display black-out problem until I also restored "system data" with Titanium backup. So, likely this is some problem related to system data.
[Epic 4G General] badasscat:
I'm sure this intentional, and a lot of phones do it. That way it looks like you're getting better battery life than you are. They're counting on the fact that if you got, say, 20 hours of battery life with normal usage, you're going to plug in when the meter's still about halfway up anyway (even if you only have 20% of battery life left).

A battery meter is not rocket science to make, so there's no way this is a bug when it's clearly something that helps Sprint and Samsung look better.

There is no need to have concern. You update your PRL and profile ONCE, and then no matter how many times you restart your phone you will have a low TWS.

Oh stop. DI18 was a near flawless rom and didn't have any of these problems. We will get Froyo running well on our phones eventually, and this is literally the best thing that could have happened now that basic users are calling Sprint and complaining about the update breaking things. This will get Sprint finally paying attention.

We are all in the same situation, so let's focus on encouraging others to bring out issues and bugs with proper information that will be helpful (and much appreciated, I am sure) to the people in charge of fixing the bugs.

As I understand, we use our phones for different purposes, as they have a range of functionality, so our frustration is of different type and intensity, and subjective, but I would propose focusing only on what we can do to push hard to get the bugs rectified as soon as possible.
[Epic 4G General] rapatelrocky:
Method:

Update.zip (91MB version) via SD card. No clean-wipe - so should be like a normal OTA upgrade.

Issues:

Browser - Lost default home page setting (blank) for Browser (no big deal of course) - all bookmarks still there. Checkerboard issue definitely happens for me.

Compass - pointed incorrectly in DI18, re-calibration fixed that. Resulted in constant landscape mode even though I had phone in portait mode - fixed via upside down level calibration (thanks to all the folks on these boards for amazing information/solutions!)

Battery - have ebay 3500mah battery, phone thought it was down to 10% so I thought it was rapid battery drain - removed battery and re-inserted and it saw it at 60%. After, at times when re-charging via usb, blinks red instead of charging turning on/off and re-plugging usb cable fixed that. Startup Auditor no longer works (as posted here before I updated), so have to manually stop DRM and other services I do not need running (any suggestions on a program to keep them from running?)

Bottom pane - somehow I managed to leave only the "Applications" icon in the bottom bar - I saw a posting about how to add icons there, but was unable to find it - how do I add phone/contacts/messages back to it?

SD Card/programs - no issues moving many apps to SD card, have not tried uninstalling and re-installing as some have suggested to enable moving them to SD card.
[Epic 4G General] PythonFanTN:
This may or may not be something most people care about, but at least for me going into Settings--->Applications--->Development and checking 'Stay awake' so the screen never goes into sleep mode when plugged in/charging doesn't stay persistently checked between power cycles/phone reboot on EB13. My preference is to have the screen always on when plugged in and this is a bit annoying.

Edit: This is after a complete Odin wipe straight to EB13 with the new EB13 tar. I should add that initially I pulled the update.zip and updated from stock 2.1 but decided to try this to clear up some issues I'd seen others claim don't happen when you use the Odin method, and in my experience for the most part that would be a correct assessment. I'll throw in though one bug I haven't seen mentioned that I encountered when going from stock DI18 to EB13 via update.zip that is no longer occurring post-Odin flashing: the snooze function on any alarm you create on the new clock/alarm/etc. stock app would not repeat properly if you had it set to repeat X number of times. After reflashing EB13 fresh via Odin, the snooze works properly.

Update and Bluetooth

Knowing how these updates go I odin'd back to 2.1 and updated from there. Oddly enough I only have one issue and Its all bluetooth related. I only use AD2P supported devices because I like media streaming while I move around!. Frankly its horrible.. It will not stay connected, locks up the device during an incoming call, and will not reconnect when disconnected or reboot.

Tested devices:

Motorola Infiniti

Plantronics pro 2(the best of the 2)

Anyone else tested this?

EDIT: There is a feature on my bluetooth (infiniti)that allows the reading of your address book to announce names when calling. When this feature is enabled, then phone locks up during an incoming call. If this feature is "declined" when prompted all is good!!
[Epic 4G General] Joeway124:
I noticed the camera force closing on me due to sports mode has some correlation to my screen going blank after waking up from sleep and never coming back on.

If this happens to you, hit your camera button and touch the screen, you should be able to get back into your homescreen. If your phone is locked, you have to unlock it inorder to make this work.
[Epic 4G General] BigBrotherMotown:
Update.zip method

1) Screen Scrolling jitters/lag/freezing

4) New Sprint "diagnostic" screen keeps showing "High Battery Drain"

Constantly freezes during scrolling

Shows 4G "on" when its not on

Constantly freezing

5) Screen keeps RESETTING brightness to 66% even though auto brightness is

turned OFF and set to minimal brightness

[Epic 4G General] snowman972:
Updated from stock 2.1 to 2.2 EB13. Used update file direct from Samsung website. Manual install.

Problems before wiping phone after applying 2.2 EB13 (using launcher pro):

- Severe battery drain (losing 7% to 11% of battery in approximately every 30 minutes, WITH SCREEN TURNED OFF)

- Laggy OS performance

- Low RAM

After wiping:

- Solved battery drain problem (disabled TouchWiz, using Vanilla launcher)

- OS performance very snappy

- Available RAM now consistent (around 100MB after killing unwanted apps)

Persisting problems:

- Camera force closes after selecting "sport mode"

- Vanilla launcher has crashed once, has never happened before

- Random vibrations followed by crashing, severe OS lagging, and force closes

- ABSOLUTELY HORRID 3G CONNECTION, feels more like 2G (Have not tested 4G)

- At this very moment of writing this, my screen will not turn on after pressing the power button. Can feel haptic feedback after running finger on screen. Solved by taking battery out and starting phone up again.

- Android Market would not download and install select apps on the first attempt.

- Delayed switching between portrait mode and landscape mode and vise versa.

- Apps would open in wrong orientation. 1 to 2 second delay to switch to correct orientation.

- GPS not pointing in right direction. Unreliable.

- Checkerboard and image tearing in browser. Slower performance compared to 2.1 stock browser.

- 3g Connection has been lost once in a area where there has always been 3G (Home).

- Problems have been getting worse, it seems

I don't know about you all but I will never buy another Samsung Android phone again. Period. Will be switching back to 2.1 using Odin3. Come on EVO2......

I've been encountering really crappy 3g data speeds, and low light video quality.
[Epic 4G General] ms79723:
3G was going straight up weak for me. I updated the profile and it still sucked...i went back to d18 and updated from there (again) and they still sucked...then I just unticked this rev. tunneling option and updated my profile after that and everything is back to normal. Unticking that really shouldnt have done anything and updating my profile just resets those settings so idk why it fixed my 3g problems.

And by 3G problems I mean it was straight up slow and when it was on it wouldnt download, just upload. It would constantly turn on and off for no reason. When 3G was enabled, I couldnt receive any texts >.< all of that is fixed now though.
