[Q] Epic 4G Back Button Problem - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so i am aware that Samsung Epic 4G has back button problem but mine seems overall weird the only time it does not respond is when i go into my contacts. Everytime i try to use the back button for anything else it works fine. So i had two different roms to make sure it was not a bug and so seems to me as it is not. I ran the Nebula ROM now i am running the Midnight Rom and so still have the same problem. So i am just thinking if i should go to the sprint store and have them look at it? Any ideas? or Help would be appreciated!

Same boat
Mine does it also, it doesn't do it all the time but it is annoying.

I'm pretty sure this is a ROM specific problem. I had it too when I ran Nebula ROM. I'm now on Bonsai 1.1.4 and it works fine in contacts. You should search the development forum.

I thought this was a problem with Launcherpro??

I'm using LP on Bonsai and I don't have the problem.

Well as soon as I get home I try bonsai rom and see if it fixes the problem

yes bonsai rom does not have the problem so thank you guys for all the help

Isn't midnight based off of neubula?

Latest Leaked Update Issues

Since the thread got closed for who knows what, let's build a list of known issues, fixes and whatever else...
For one, my brightness didn't work, so I flashed Kernel #15 which fixed that issue. Now my camera only shows a white screen.
BTW, I looked for a similar thread, but didn't find one. I tend to miss things sometimes though.

I'm pretty sure the thread got closed, because wdfowty requested it be closed. Based on a comment he made in the thread, I presume he requested the thread be closed because of the ridiculous, juvenile, and inappropriate tags that people were leaving. So as usual, the thread was closed due to people acting like 3 year old kids.
Anyways, on your topic, I have fortunately not encountered any of the bugs that other people have mentioned in the thread. Everything I've been able to test so far is working perfectly. The only thing that I wish, is that HTC released the leak with Sense 2.1. I want a 2.1 sense rom with working 4g!!!
Right, people have been acting so ridiculously here lately.
Back on topic, camera with kernel 15 seems to be my only issue. Anybody got a link to just the kernel on the new leak? I would rather have my camera rather than brightness adjustable. Unfortunately.

When I turn on the camera/camcorder to take a pic/record, the screen appears all white. However, if you take a picture, it comes out but looks a little fuzzy. If I try to record a video in mpeg4, it will record but force close when it tries to save it. If I try to record a video using H.264, it force closes immediately. I tried clearing the data of the camera app and that did not help.
Weird.
I'm downloading Virus's version which has the camera fixed, but it may be just for pics. I think video still may be borked, but I cannot confirm that yet.
Edit: Forgot to add that I am running Netarchy's 4.3.4 kernel with the leaked 2.3 update.
Yea, the issue I had was brightness lock, fixed with kernel 15, which left me with the white screen camera.

i got my to work with everyting, but with the stock kernel.
I have a hardware 002 which I don't think is an Epson screen. I can not change the brightness on the leaked ROM. When I try to flash HTC Kernel 15 the phone won't boot it gets past the HTC EVO white screen but then hangs up right before the Boot Animation. You can tell the screen is on but nothing ever happens...

I can adjust the screen brightness with Netarchy's kernel, too. Forgot to mention that.

Do you mean the stock kernel that came with the leaked update, or the previousw stock kernel #15 like Rydah is using? I may just re-flash it with the stock kernel for now.
Or, just nandroid back to Myn's rom until all the wrinkles get ironed out. I don't see so much of an improvement so as to keep a buggy rom when it was working perfectly before.

Everything works fine on my 0004 EVO. Love the Fast boot feature. Plus the pocket ring. Hopefully they update Sense before final release, but I doubt it.

[Q] loStKernel App drawer problem

Ok so i am a noob to android and cant post in the loStkernel thread. but i am seeing an issue with it. after flashing it using CWM i can no longer change pages using the dots on the bottom, only through flipping one by one. i use that feature a lot. i had dome some other things since flashing it so i restored back to a few days ago and bam it was working again with a differnt kernel. so i flashed loStkernel stable again and it stopped working again. so it must be that. anyone else have this issue? dont know what else it could be.
thanks
noone else has this problem? i dont know what else it could be. as i said i flashed back to a stable state and everything works fine. as soon as i load the LoStKernel it messes up. so it would have to be that. five more posts and i can get this in the right thread. thanks

What do you mean by stable state? What are you flashing? I'm running the current stable loStKernel and I can click the App drawer pages just fine in Go Launcher EX. I assume you're running the stock TouchWiz launcher?
I am using lostkernel in the Starburst ROM, and I don't have this problem.
I don't use the Touchwiz launcher either but switched to it for a test.
I'm on the Latest LOS stable kernel. With TouchWiz Launcher. On Home screen dots work fine but in App drawer they do not work.
I normally use launch Pro and it doesn't have the Dots and it is just and endless scroll of apps but wanted to test it and you are correct.

Are you referring to experimental version with overclock?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
no i am talking about the stable version and yes i am using stock touchwiz at the moment. good to hear that at least someone else has this problem. so it appears to be a problem between touchwiz and the LoStKernel. i am on a stock pulled kernel right now after getting rid of the yellow triangle and have no los. i ran the eg30 plus for a little while but got los once a day at least. so lostkernel was working great except for this app drawer issue. so i guess if i use a different rom with a different launcher with lost kernel i will be fine. to bad there is this one problem. thanks everyone for the responses.

by stable state i mean with a stock kernel with cwm and no rom with everything working correctly.
can someone maybe post this in the lostkernel thread? i am still a few away from that.
thanks
just wanted to know if anyone with the new stable version can test this and see if it is still a problem.
thanks

[Q] Andy-83.apk

why is this happening if i ran it just fine on evo and epic 4g...?
i'm running Calkulin's E4GT v2.8.1 EL29 with desperado 1.704ghz kernel.
Any substitute? Another maybe better calculator app? Please and thanks!

I am limited in my knowledge with apps, but I do know that if the app is not programmed to work with your hardware (if its not universal) then the app developer just needs to update to work on the newer hardware, email the dev and wait that is all you can do

[Q] [ ROM ] Calkulin's E4GT v2.9 Stock browser turns off phone screen.??

Hi All,
Just flashed Calk's 2.9 rom and noticed that when i go to the stock browser on the five icons on home, it turns off my screen, Only way to gain functionality of the phone again is to hold power button and reboot. Not sure if its due to flashing a new modem FB21. Anyone else experience this?

Just switched back to his default GO Launcher, and it works fine for me. Also works fine from Launcher Pro.
Does you screen cut out when you select the default browser grin the app drawer, too?
The answer may be to try flashing again...

[Q] screen blackout while using my galaxy nexus maguro

Hi Devs
I'm from Mumbai India and i'm using galaxy nexus gsm.
It is an awesome phone but lately i'm having problem
My phone screen flashs and blackouts out of nowhere While operating my nexus and than i have to reboot it.
This has been happening from the time when i tried few custom roms (xylon, miui, overdrive, pa, minco v6 and madoco) back to back couple of weeks back. I don't know what is the cause of it and why is it happening.
So guys i need little help here.. Plzz help me fix it.
Right now I'm using baked 7 rom and gapp 4.2.1 12/12/2012.
Thank you in advance
I believe this is referred to as a Screen of death, or sod. Search the forum, and you may find some answers. Ive heard this is common on 4.2.1, but have yet to deal with it myself. Actually, though, ive had some close calls where the power button will not wake the phone, and i believe ive also seen where the actual issue is waking the phone from sleep..
Actually, I've just noticed that you're using the old gapps as well. The baked downloads page has the new gapps, and perhaps that may help you.
THANK YOU

Have you tweaked the kernel options, messed with thecpu clock? Maybe try bringing all of that back to stock.
