Incompatible UID's on cache data? Or an easter egg? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone ever have pop up a little box that says something like "You have incompatible UID's in your cache data and you need to format." Underneath was a little button that said "I'm feeling lucky."
In case your wondering I was in the middle of a scewed up beta testing scenario. Being the somewhat cautious soul I instead pulled the battery and odin'd.

I got this when I flashed the eb13 modem using Odin and not putting the pit in there but a simple restore nandroid back up fixed it..

[Q] Something keeps trying to turn 4G off

Something keeps trying to turn my 4G off when I'm not even using the 4G. I noticed it when I saw my switchpro 4G toggle was going crazy. 4G isn't even on, but it keeps turning off, if that makes any sense. I can go into the networks settings and watch it happen over and over every couple of seconds. It goes from "Turn on 4G" to "Turning off..." constantly.
Has this happened to anyone else?
I'm running the Fresh 3.3.0.1 with king's cfs 10 kernel.
How crazy! The same thing is happening to me. Running mims 2point2

I spent the last 2 hours wiping, flashing and restoring only to have it happen again. There was no problem when I loaded up a clean ROM, but somewhere between restoring with Titanium and running calkulin's sense removal script the problem came back.
I deleted SwitchPro and the problem is still there so I know it's not that.
Bump.
ANYBODY???
1) quit using that crap ass titanium. Unless you dont mine your phone continuing to be jacked
2) quit using caulks script and just remove stuff yourself. Carefully... only remove basics like nfl nascar peep facebook twitter tweet and ithers dont go crazy deleting a bunch of **** just because.
There are certains programs that are linked to otgers and atripping things out incorrectly can make other things break and do all kinds of freaky wierd ****.

Titanium is pretty awesome and I have NEVER had an issue with it.
Calkulins script automatically deletes the exact same files I would delete manually, and really isn't crazy with the deleting like omegasun's is. No problem with that either.
Anyways, figured it out. System Info Widget was causing the problem. Deleted it, problem disappeared.
I think the sprint updates and/or auto update reminders can shut down 4G. Is there a easy way to drop the auto update reminder?

Yeah, by updating your phone Don't do it if you're rooted though, instead flash a ROM based off the latest OTA.
I have the same problem I used titanium backup to restore and running myn warm 2.2 4G is cycling on and off about every 6 sec.. Where is this system info widget?

help please! epic 4g not working right..

Hi, everyone please dont flame me if this answer is somewhere else but i tried searching and using keywords to find an answer but no dice! feel free to move this to the where ever it needs to be!
ok ive been having tons of fun with my epic and this site has been a god send ever since i found it! great community guys! but now to the prob...
i never had a problem with rooting my epic and adding roms, themes, dk28, etc. but last night i decided to flash a hulu zip but i was careless and realized it wasnt "edify" and flashed it, yea i know epic fail :/...ever since then my epic hasnt been the same. i tried going back to dk27 and from playing with it for 10mins it seemed stable and fine. so i decided to odin to dk28 and it seemed alright but maybe its because im used to the faster roms ive been using for the past months. now the real problem is when im running on dk28 and try to flash midnight rom or bonsai (the only 2 i tested so far) it never works..after i run cwm3 and flash midnight i try to reboot and i get stuck at the samsung screen. so i pull the battery out and try again...now when it boots up, it does the reg sprint start up but the word "android" is flashing in the middle of the screen at the same time!? and doesnt perforom right if i touch any of the dock buttons it just restarts. so as of right now im just running a stock epic and it works fine but i really wanna root my epic again and have fun!
Well....
That flashing android sign may have just been some sort of file corruption...possibly in the odin flash, possibly from pulling the battery.
You said you went back to dk27 first...did you mean dG 27? Just for clarification.
I would try odining to di18 and THEN going to dk28 and then to a ROM (if you haven't already tried that going from di18)
And retrying until successful isn't such a bad idea...did you purchase a better USB cable, or are you using the stock one? the stock one has been known to cause problems when flashing
Sent from my baked and emotionless SPH-D700
hey, thnx for the reply. yea i mean dg27 sorry. hmm yea ive been having a lot of problems with this cable, my cpu recognizes it about 50% of the time i always have to keep trying diff ports...ill try to find another cable around the house. will any mini usb cable do? oh yea and u said the "flashing android" could be from odin, so could it be the pit or the tar file?
btw is di18 still floating around on the forums? ill try to look..thanks again bro
Flash it again when your getting that android symbol in the middle of sprints boot screen. Right over it. Works for me and I get that problem every once in a while
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
thnx coke32 ill keep trying to flash it..keeping my fingers crossed
I would use Odin and the DI18 release then use the update.zip for DK28. Then use the Clockworkmod 3.0 root. Then use one of those Roms you like so much. I use midNIGHT and love it. There are some great walk throughs in the Development Section.
If you run into problems just start over. Only takes about 20 minutes. The cable is a biggie though. Any USB mini works...as long as it "works". I never use the stock cable unless I'm charging only.

[Q] Most stable ROM with no FC's (

Hi guys,
I'm new to the Samsung Epic 4g and looking for the most stable ROM that's available. Here's why:
This phone does not belong to me. I dated this girl for a few months and before I broke up with her, I told her she should let me root her phone. She did (we put on the ACS Frozen ROM) and she loved it, until a few weeks later it started giving her "Google Services Frameworks" Force closing errors.
Problem was, we had broken up. Because she doesn't know anyone else that knows how to root phones and put on ROMs, she has very awkwardly called me up every few weeks and asked me to fix her phone—because her phone is my responsibility now!
What I'm looking for is the ROM that won't have any FC's and that I won't have to touch for at least another six months. Her stock ROM was no good either (which is why she wanted me to root the phone), fwiw.
I have a Mac and tried the Heimdall method but that didn't seem to work. Basically, I want to be done messing with her phone so I don't have to hang see her again! It was a bad breakup.
Any advice greatly appreciated! I need to flash by tonight.
Re flash and turn journaling on. Should keep her away for a while
Posted from my pedo van.
Honestly if you broke up and don't want to deal with it just go to stock. Otherwise you are on the hook forever. When gb goes ota guess who she calls. Just put it back to stock.

This^^^^^^^^ and go to settings>applications>manage applications>all and scroll to Google Services Framework, click it and hit clear data. Show this to her and tell her any app that FCs can be fixed this way and walk away. Unless you want to also teach her how to do a nand backup and restore to really be able to walk away.

Thanks guys. I actually ended up bricking the phone with Heimdall-the USB port on my IMac couldn't recognize the phone and all hell broke loose after that-so she and I are splitting the cost of a Nexus S.
At least I have her off my back now. Thanks again for the advice.

EH17 Messaging and Calling problem

Ever since I went from EH06 to EH17, I can only make calls, and send/receive texts when I am roaming. When I get into a sprint service zone, I lose my ability to text, and when I try to make calls, I get an automated message telling me that my authentication code can not be verified. I received the
same message when I checked the efs clear button on Odin a while back, but I fixed it by clicking th activate button on my phone when I had service. This time around whenever I flash any version of the EH17 build, I get this problem, and I don't get the popup telling me to reactivate like I did before when I fixed it. I've used Odin to flash back to EH06, but I still can only use my phone when I am roaming.
I'm back on EH17 rooted/deodexed hurricane rom.
Does anyone have any information as to how I can fix my phone?
Sent from my SPH-D700
Did you try updating Profile and then PRL?
Yes, but I still have the same problem
How about a Factory data reset?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Does Odin count as a factory reset? If so, I've done that too, and still can't make calls or text when I'm not roaming.

I guess it would if you tried it before restoring any data. Just Odin the EH17 in and then update Profile and PRL and then try it. Don't restore anything.
Alright, so I used odin to go back to EH17 again, and updated profile, and prl, but it still doesn't let me text or make calls.

And this only happens on the EH17 leak? You said you tried the EFS clear and it doesn't put you through the activation like on the other leaks. What if you called Sprint and they put you through reactivation?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
It started happening when I installed the EH17 leak, even if I flash to an older build like EC05, I still get the same problem, I might have to call to reactivate.
Thanks for all the help

Did this happen after you tried the EFS clear or was that an attempt to fix it? Best bet is to let them go through the reactivation. Let us know how it works out.
Sorry it took so long to reply, but using the EFS clear was only an attempt to get my phone reactivated, but that didn't work. I have a feeling I'll have the same results if I call Sprint to reactivate, so my next plan is to flash back to EC05 or anything before EH17, and clear EFS and see if that helps.
Did you try Odining in the EC05 modem?
Yes, I used odin to flash back to EC05, with the EC05, cleared my EFS, and still, on EC05, I am unable to text, or make calls. I thought it was EH17, but something must be wrong with my phone, so I don't have any idea as to what to do now.

Did it go through the hands free activation after the EFS clear? I would Odin to stock, if it still don't work call Sprint and have them reactivate the phone with you.
Yeah, it went through the hands free activation, but when I'd try to send a message or make a call, I get the same problem, and I live in a town where I'm always roaming, so I can't check if something works everyday, I have to wait until I go out of town.

Well I checked, and they matched. Could flashing EH17 cause this to happen, or did Sprint somehow shut off service on my phone?

It shouldn't. And if the activation went fine then you should have service. Flash to EC05 stock and call them.

WiMAX No longer working

OK folks, don't understand what's going on here. All I have done so far is
Rooted with Zedomax v3
flashed stock kernel back on the phone
WiMAX definitely worked when I got the phone, but now I get stuck at "Obtaining IP Address"
Any ideas? Here is a link to my pastebin of WiMAX interface starting up...
http://pastebin.com/RkDYYSAM
The only way to tell what happened is to try a different kernel or rom and see if it works. If all fails go back to stock, if it fails then then you must have lost your wimax keys... and that would suck!

hmm, thought I read that Samsung doesn't have wimax keys in the same way that HTC does. They are embedded in the device and can't be lost. Plus, I make it pass authenticating to the tower, just seems to have problem establishing IP
Odin the eg30 stock rom/kernel that crawlj posted. It should fix it. This is what has been fmdone to fix the wifi and 4g problems.
Sent From My Evo Killer!!!
It looks more like a network problem to me (albeit a convenient one). Since the problem is obtaining an IP, then your wimax radio is having no problems actually getting the signal (otherwise it would hang on connecting) and problems identifying the connection. What I would do, if it were me, would be to flash crawrj's stock tar (the whole stock rom in tar form), factory reset and try again.
If it still hangs after that, then it's the tower and give it a day or two to get it's own panties out of whatever twist they're in.
Sometimes this kinda stuff happens to me too, but it always starts up again eventually
