I don't know, somebody noticed it or not, but after the upgrade to EB13 I'm getting the network connection error very often when I'm using 3g. I haven't tested it to much on 4G and Wi-Fi but on 3g I'm getting it really often and it is really annoying.

Upgraded to EB13 trough Oden and seems there is no other ussues at least what I'm tested it for now. GPS is working better. I did not test it a lot but seems like it is better.

And finally I've fixed bluetooth and it is working now. At least I've paired the devices. I don't know yet how stable it is but after couple of months It was broken finally it is working.
[Epic 4G General] Mutiny32:
Just like my last post in this thread, this issue was present in DK28 and earlier leaked builds. The workaround you posted has fixed WiFi once, maybe twice on my phone.

This is another perfect example of gross negligence on Samsung/Sprint's part. This bug is even more glaringly obvious than the inversed magnetometer bug since ANY testing of WiFi functionality would produce the connect error. The evdence that Samsung simply doesn't care about supporting their phone's software functionality after they've gotten the customer's money is more damning by the day. Really, they are flirting with consumer protection laws here not to mention FCC regulations regarding functionality for emergency services, especially for CDMA devices that are much more difficult to triangulate for position in lieu of functional GPS.

So I was patiently waiting for the OTA, and not surprisingly, samsung/sprint screwed it up. Samsung is a ruthlessly mercenary company when it comes to their cell phones. HTC at least tries to sell that it cares about their products connecting to their customers. Coming from a Moment, and waiting and waiting for their lackluster android update- that kind of got me ready for this update, and the crushing failure it has been. Reading the list of problems- who would want to "update"? Samsung sells you the phone, hopes you like the stock abilities, and then hopes to never hear from you again until their next phone comes out (just like Toyota above). I'm sure updating old hardware (which the epic is to them) is not on their list of priorities. As a sprint customer though- where else am I going? The worst part is- each one of us knows the hardware is fully capable of doing what we need it to do.

text message bug

is there a fix for text messaging yet?

I have seen the same problem of 'stuck-on-sending' on both my ROMs after EB13 upgrade....it works initially but breaks sometime later....

reboot did not fix the problem, 'level 2 and clearing RAM' from samsung task manager did not fix it.

Any other solutions or is it a bug?
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
Issues like these are almost always solved by a clean flash. Back up your apps' data with MyBackup Root, Odin to clean EB13, and restore only the data for the apps you need (I don't recommend restoring apps as well - use AppBrain or the new Market).
[Epic 4G General] jaejaejae:
but why is the sync cymbol stuck in my notification bar
[Epic 4G General] In_da_buff:
I've got the texting issue. Last week I wiped the phone and used Odin to get to a stock DI18 v 2.1, Eclair before the OTA. The OTA didn't work out so I manually flashed to 2.2 using that broke-a** Samsung tool on Saturday night.

Text worked fine on Sunday all day. This morning, all text were "sending" until

I cleared Ram cache (1 and 2) and rebooted the phone - all texts going out for now.

I really don't want to wipe it again and reflash - not sure how that's gonna help.

PS - no back up cause I had a bunch of junk free apps I don't care about and I've saved my contact list to my PC and just link/import if needed.

I just wanted everyone to know that samsungjohn received this list, and actually responded rather quickly! :)

He wanted to express his thanks to all who contributed.

I'm going to amend this list as new things come to light. For right now, I'm going to change the wording in regards to keyboard lag so as to point out the symptom it causes, "skipping keys". I will also be changing its tag to {KERNEL} due to light shed on this issue in a thread in the general forum. As of right now it is looking increasingly more likely that it is indeed software to blame (which I speculated) and not hardware.

With each amend, I will also send the revision to samsungjohn. I feel I may have started a good rapport with him, so I will continue to build upon that.

Please, do not hesitate to continue contributing to this forum, or to PM me with your concerns.

Thanks!

EB13

Thought this thread was very useful and wanted to post even though I’m one of the lucky ones with few issues. I think its interested that my phone has some but not all issues noted.

Method of update:-

Stock di18, never rooted, to Froyo (EB13) via update.zip

Camera/Camcorder/Video:-

- Selecting the "Sport" mode on the camera force closes the camera app

- Don’t notice huge diff on low light vid

Android Browser:-

- Unable to open more than four links. Rarely use this browser hadn’t noticed issue before

GPS:-

- GPS was fine before update, still works well

No other major issues

stock phone updated via samsung updater.exe

i was wondering about a force close so started reading up i saw the camera FORCE CLOSE in sport mode so i decided to poke around Yup i get it too so i poke around more

Camera > settings > wrench > screen 2/2 > Firmware Check

It says their is an update for camera firmware i run it it installs says it needs to uninstall the old one i guess it finishes for good mesure i power cycle phone . powers up i go and it still has GPS on looking for GPS so it did not fix that then i try sport mode FORCE CLOSE STILL with update that says it come out March2,2011 so a few hours ago ( EST ) i am guessing. then i had the problem of SCREEN BLACK when trying to WAKE... so NO fix at all with camera firmware update ?
[Epic 4G General] ae69ae:
Thats not true. Don't lose all your stuff for nothing, a clean flash doesn't solve the Text Messaging Bug. Just Force Close on text messages.

DO NOT REFLASH, its a Samsung Task Manager bug.
[Epic 4G General] ae69ae:
--Facebook Sync wont show the Picture of who ever I'm texting. The picture only shows on the phone book.

--Sometimes the phone wont let me click on WIFI, everything else turns on and off.

--Text Messaging still a big concern, and more people are experiencing this as-well, I'm pretty sure 10 people with issues here is thousands of people with issues [who don't come to xda website.]
[Epic 4G General] Mutiny32:
I want to mention that Push Notifications are sketchy at best. Come on.
[Epic 4G General] lifeofbean:
Mine's gotten to where I can't turn wifi on at all without rebooting it, if I ever turn it off.

Also, new bugs I've discovered:

Settings application crashes if I try to open Sounds (ringer/notifications). Sometimes I might be able to get in, but it'll crash and force close after, at most, 10 seconds.

On vibrate, the phone does not vibrate. If I set it to audible, it vibrates only. It was set to always vibrate, but I can no longer get into the Sounds settings (force closes).

Asurion/Sprint Total Equipment Protection app now says I have an unsupported phone. sprint.com/protection says the Epic is supported.

I'm going to back up my apps and attempt to re-flash. I could live with the TEP not working (since I already have Prey on it), but not having an audible notification of any kind is unacceptable. Third party ringtone managers also force close if I try to apply a ringer.
[Epic 4G General] Masterface7:
Downloaded update.zip from samsung and flashed using stock recovery on top of stock éclair.

yeah.. push notifications for facebook just don't work. i always thought that when froyo came out i'd get notifications for the market when and update was out but that doesn't happen either. kind of useless to find out i have programs that can be updated after i'm already in the market updating them

--Back Button Issue

When the phone is asleep and you get a text message, after you scrow towards the text message [to view the text as soon as you unlock the phone.]

After you finish viewing your text and you tap the Back Button, instead of viewing your home screen.

A random application pops up. This has happened MULTIPLE times and I thought I had forgotten to close them but I paid closed attention to it this time, and I did not open that app. My phone is opening random apps! LOL

Anyone else?

Method: I odin'd to eb13

The biggest issue I'm having is the 180 degree compass issue. I tried the callibration with the phone facing down, and although it seemed to work, my phone started acting crazy and goin on landscape mode on the homescreen and browser at times. It happens whenever the phone wants to do it, and trying to get it back to normal is B. I've searched around for the fix but there's a lot of stuff to search through and couldn't find anything besides the method I used. Anyone else have any info that would help? Thanks
[Epic 4G General] rjccviii:
I keep having a problem where my contacts app won't open. I hit the icon, it blanks the screen, vibrates, pauses, vibrates twice, then goes back to the home screen. no error message, no nothing.

all the data's still in there, and I can get it to open usually by switching contacts sync off/on on google, twitter, facebook and last.fm (it's never consistent which one, or which way it's set that gets contacts working again)

and then it will work for a while, and just randomly stop working. never happened on 2.1, only since 2.2, even after a wipe.
[Epic 4G General] redsox19asb:
"fix" or new functionality in red.
[Epic 4G General] yonglee09:
yea, that happened to mine too. It doesnt happen all the time, but it happened about 3 - 4 times now. I didnt get OTA, rather i got straight from Samsung webiste. its currently rooted.
[Epic 4G General] DurhamHusker:
I'm not entirely sure if this is a bug or intended functionality by separate entities, but it is annoying to me none-the-less. And I suppose this discrepancy may also be present in previous versions of the Epic 4G code base and I just didn't notice it before the EB13 update.

Method of Update:

Samsung exe downloaded from Samsung website.

Accounts and Sync:

Facebook contact sync with respect to profile photos appears to result in different functionality depending on the method used to add the account to the phone.

- If a Facebook account is added to the phone via the Facebook app, then contact information including photos appears to sync correctly to the phone's contact list.

- If a Facebook account is added to the phone via the Android menu "Settings / Accounts and Sync / Add account," then contact information appears to sync correctly but with the notable exclusion of profile photos. However, if profile photos are subsequently read by the Facebook app through normal use, then the profile photos that have been read seem to then be loaded to the phone's contact list.

[Epic 4G General] twolostminds:
Umm...I'm thinking no one really tested this rom before releasing it. I'm starting to think some R&D manager at Sammy thought up the bright idea to let XDA users not only beta their software but fix it as well in an effort to lower costs and increase the bottom line. <<-- just my opinion

Who has all these issues, ive been running eb13 for couple weeks with genocide kernal. i have none of these issues with cameras and bluetooth and signal and anything.... phone works fine... even my gps has worked great for a few months going back... at least as well as any other phones gps works... maybe some people should stop tinkering with their phones if all they do is break it, than come on here to complain about there crappy ass phones... mine works fine and i dont really have any complaints... thats just my opinion, samsungs a good company and the sgs is a good phone, why else do u think google would have branded them with a nexus...

[Epic 4G General] mouseglider:
I did the same update as you and see the same problem - I tried a few different Logsupdate.apks and a Logsupdate.zip.

I did the oneclickroot with cwm v2.55 so I could fix the slow rotation in the screen using su in a Terminal Emulator - so that is fixed for me

I also applied the camera/recorder fix and that is also fixed now.

Battery life seems the same if not better.

Even though test apps like Linpack show my upgraded epic is a little faster, it actually doesn't seem faster across the board, in some areas it is faster and some areas it is the same, and some areas actually seem a tad slower.

It also seemed to slow the Gallery up so bad that I had to install another gallery type app called QickPic

Wish they could fix the call log

Bottom line, a passable upgraded with a few nice added features that outweigh the cons - BUT not by Much!! If I wouldn't have know all of this I would definetly waited for a better upgrade.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dh2311:
Hi,

I have a samsung Galaxy S, and it was horribly branded, so i tried wiping the software, 1st time I tried it, I got no signal at all (don't know why?!), forgot what software it was because its been deleted.

Since then, in an attempt to fix it I flashed I9000XWJS3 with Odin.

Now it shows I have signal but "Emergency Calls Only" is shown where the network operator should be. Why is this?

This is a used phone that i bought from ebay, can't remember wether I got signal on the branded OS. Could it be a faulty sim tray or a fault with the phone? Or it is software?

Any ideas on how to fix? Please Note: I am a UK resident, My network is o2.

any other details needed let me know.

ALSO: If I go into network settings and select o2 as the network, it tries to connect but just ends up saying "Unable to connect. Try later"
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icejagans:

If someone hacks something together using the FM transmitter for example. And Nexus S can read the NFC data from the Nexus One?

Hi all,

I've got an android device without any phone chip or any phone module.

Since this is a weird project I don't know where to post it and I've posted here... I'm sorry if I've chosen the wrong section.

Anyway, my idea is:

USB Internet keys (dongles) should contain a phone module (GSM/UMTS/HSDPA) that is used for estabilishing data connections....

Normally at least 99.9% of the people are using their phones as WiFi HotSpot or as an USB Tethering device without using an USB internet key for connecting to the internet with a SIMCard.

I'm searching infos on doing this weird thing: USB internet key as a phone module :)

The only thing is that I can't find any info on that and I don't know if USB GSM/UMTS/HSDPA modems are able to work as phones. I mean, they can be connected to a mobile operator without an active connection, so maybe they can be used as phones.

In less words...

Project: USB internet key as a phone for an android device that hasn't got a phone module :)

Is it possible hardwarewise?

If it is, I'll start the development.

Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] netstat_EVO:
Long Version:

I can only speak for the carriers I have dealt with myself (Sprint, AT&T, Verizon)

But, this is a topic that angered me a while back.

With my Sprint Wireless cards, I used to be able to set laptops up to send and receive faxes with them, and did on a regular basis for about 5 of my end users.

About two years ago, I tried to switch to AT&T thinking everything would be the same. I spent hours and hours trying to figure out why it wouldn't work with the new carrier before I finally threw in the towel and called AT&T tech support. Within seconds I had my answer "we don't support switched calls on data cards". This meaning that no actual calls in or out from the card were possible.

Fast forward a couple weeks, I switched a few users back over to Sprint because they really liked being able to send and receive faxes from anywhere. Low and behold, Sprint has followed suit and disabled the feature also. So I call Verizon to see what their capabilities are, same thing.

So it seems to be the industry standard now (at least in the US) to not allow this type of service anymore. I have no idea why, it honestly seems stupid to me to disable what I consider to be 50% of the functionality of the device/service... But it is what it is.

Short Version:

3G data connection: probably(depending on driver support)

cellular/dial connection: probably not

Just wondering as our phones have a FM receiver.

Wondering if there is a app that receives the signal and converts DAB into audio.

Should be possible i would image as a radio signal is analogue anyway..

Don't want to use streaming radio apps.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] loekis:
As far as i know, DAB means Digital Audio Broadcast - if your device has a digital receiver built in, that would be possible. My HD2 has only an analogue radio receiver. I do not see a way that your request could be fulfilled...
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] ej2095:
memory serves me correct there is no such thing as a digital broadcast....

All radio waves are analouge?

So if the decoder could be emulated in software?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] shamez23:
The analogue FM receiver in your phone can only receive frequencies from 87.5 to 108MHz and cannot even receive the frequencies used in DAB (174-240MHz).

If it was that easy, don't you think someone else would have already done what you suggest?

After all it would be one more advertisable feat of your Handset they would use to make you pay more money for it if they could.
