I have been running this rom for a couple of days now. Its fast quick and very well designed. But I have been experiences a couple of issues. 1 wifi disconnects even when im next to my wireless router. 2 I get alot of droped calls for some reason while im on the phone an app will launch and drop my call. 3 Slingplayer works but when I change channels no picture comes up only the sound. I have used other roms and never had this issues can I get some help anyone.

I have been running this since it came out wiped and flashed it multiple times over the course of messing with my phone and never had any of the above issues.
The first thing I would try is to wipe everything with calk's format all zip and reflash the ROM.
Do you have the link for zip file.

This guy just attached it in another Q&A thread, but it's also in the Calkulin's Mods and Fixes thread and the EViO 2 thread.

Last two questions, how fo I flash this zip file, and where can I throw you some change, even if it doesnt work I would like to thank you for your help and quick responses, much appreciated.

No need for donations, thanks button is enough. If you want to though, I added a link.
Flash from recovery. I usually wipe cache/dalvik/data/SD EXT (if your sd card is partitioned) and then flash the zip. If you are using Amon Ra, just flash that zip like any other ROM/Kernel, etc. You can flash it with older versions of clockwork as well, but not the current version. If you're running a newer clockwork, and it gives you an error when you try to flash it, just manually wipe cache/dalvik/data/boot/system then try flashing the ROM again.
Also, if you are using Titanium to restore your apps, make sure you don't restore any system data and when you restore your apps, restore app only and not app + data. If your backups are from a Froyo ROM, the safest thing to do is redownload them and make new back ups. I think you can change the name of your Froyo backups folder on the SD card so that you can keep them and use that to restore if you flash any new Froyo ROMs. Most people don't have issues restoring apps btw the two, but if you're having issues, better IMO to be safer. Hope that makes sense.
My phone will detect Wifi, and try to connect, but will never connect. It just finds it, goes to "connecting," then "disconnected," then "connecting," then "disconnected," etc.
What did I screw up on my phone? I've tested Wifi using Fresh, CM7, Caulkin's, and the leaked plain gingerbread.
I've flashed 2 different kernels, each has the same result. Not to mention that some of the roms have different kernels already.
I've also downgraded my radio just to see if that would help.
What could I possibly have messed up? I don't get it.
Obviously, I've spent a lot of time like this, and I am, quite honestly, literally insane at this point.
Any help is appreciated.
Later.
Could it be your router that's going bad and not your phone??
Also, try placing a stock sprint rom and go from there
I ran into this as well before with my current ROM Mikfroyo.. the trick for me was just to back up my apps and wipe/reinstall the ROM. If you backup more, be sure to NOT backup the Wifi settings as that may cause the issue to happen again (I've been down this road more than once with my phone because I'm a flashing junkie )
That's the only suggestion I can offer.. sucks but at least for me it fixed my issues with Wifi not connecting.
Good luck!
--edit--
after reading deeper into the OP I guess this might not work as it seems flashing new ROMs didn't help either..

I don't think so, because at home my wireless printer still works, and I can connect an iPad.
I'll flash a stock rom tonight.

I have been using Titanium backup to restore settings, that is a good point. Maybe tonight I'll re-install the router, remove all apps from the Apps2SD, flash a stock ROM, then manually re-install all of the apps from a market.
Sounds like a good Friday night. Blehhh.....
If your using cwm to flash wipe all 3 times each then when you restore apps do apps only not system data. Somewhere your introducing info back into the rom that's confusing it.did you back up your wimaxx keys before you flashed your radio?

No, but cwm and RA both do that for you now, right? Plus, I can still connect to 4G, so the wimax keys should be there.
But that's a question I can't find the answer to- does the radio have anything to do with connecting to WiFi?
Well cwm doesn't do a good job at cleaning dalvik cache. You've got to manualy wipe 3 times to make sure. Your not using rom manager are you? What version of clockeork you using?

I use ROM manager. What's wrong with it?
I'm using 3.0.0.5
Don't use rom managet it causes to many problems. Go into recovery and wipe system data facrory reset, then go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache 3 times each then flash your rom. Your issues will go away.

You should go into rom manager and flash other recovery re. That's amon re its more stable than cwm.

Sounds more like your wireless router is the issue. Just because your other devices connect, doesn't rule out your router. Try to connect to a different wireless router and see if that works.
i am also having this same issue, and i cant find an answer to it.. but i will try giving it a shot with amon ra recovery and manually clearing dalvik cache n data.
Hey Sprockethead try using this recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339654, it's known to work for a LOT of people here... Like the others have mentioned I think it might have to do something with not wiping properly... You can still flash your CWM recoveries with this one.
I created a backup using CWM 3.1.0.1 (from rooted EC05). I then flashed one of the new roms, and today wanted to go back, so i booted into 3.1.0.1 and did the restore (from cw). Now the phone boots up to the Samsung screen and sits there. What am I doing wrong? Sorry if this has already been asked, I did a search but couldn't find this particular issue. Thanks for any and all help.
both backups were made using 3.1.0.1? and were both made in 3finger recovery? and when you restored you were in 3 finger recovery, not reboot recovery?

I only did 1 backup, not sure what you mean by 3 finger recovery? I booted in CWM (purple) and did the back-up. I then put on the "Bamboozle" rom (and yes, I wiped everything 3x like qb shows in the vid) then installed the rom. I ran it for the past week (loved the rom, but it was eating my battery really bad) so wanted to try a different rom. I thought the easiest way to start was to restore the backup I made, so I booted back into cwm and selected Backup/Restore, Restore, Yes and it ran and said it restored fine. I reboot, but all I get to now is the Samsung screen, no further.

Let me just say, I think I f'ked my phone up. So I gave up trying to restore, just odin'd back to stock (ec 05). Which I then re-rooted and re-installed CWM 3.1.0.1 (I have titanium backups as well). However, now the phone runs really, really slow and when I try to restore apps from titanium it just sits there (in batch mode). Sorry, for being a noob; hey, if nothing else, maybe I'm making someone smile at my dumb a$$. But now, if I can be even more stupid, is there a way to just "reset" the phone, by that I mean put it back to a "true stock" form so I can start over? And then, can I just delete these backups, and roms from the sd card (just hookup to laptop and delete from the sd-card)? I think maybe it'd be easier to just start from scratch again...thanks for the help, I try to keep up with the forums, but so many posts....
What he means by 3 finger is the ONLY way to get into recovery for proper operation. With power off press and hold camera, volume down, and power. Holding all 3 until you see the recovery menu. If you use any other method such as ROM Manager or Quick Boot you will more than likely screw up your phone. Neither application is recommended for recovery operations.

I believe clockwork does not backup the kernel. You may need to install a kernel.
Just a thought...

If you backed up on ec05 and installed a gingerbread rom you need to odin back to ec05 and then do the restore. It won't work if you are on different os versions. At least it never has for me.

Wait, did you wipe data/system,cache, and Dalvik Cache then restore your nandroid? I have a SRF 1.2, an Urban Regeneration, and a CM7 nandroid. As long as I wipe everything then restore I have no problems. I have bounced between all three today with no issues

Yeah, the issue was I was running bamboozle (GB leaked rom), so once I odin'd back to EC05, I was able to run the restore without problem. I am now running SRF 1.2 (awesome rom btw) and I was able to restore when trying to install that rom (and the genocide kernel). Thanks for all the helpful answers.

I would have thought the same thing. However, I simply restored my SFR 1.2 nandroid right over the gingerbread rom. With a few glitches smoothed out I am running fine again with no Odin involved.

Yeah, I have gotten the dreaded Google Services Framework FC's a couple of times but for the most part I can wipe everything and restore a Froyo setup even when on a Gingerbread ROM. The purp recovery is good like that.

When restoring across different OS versions it is handy to do a Restore>Advanced Restore Data from the Nand backup. There may be the occasional FC if the data format has changed but that usually can be fixed by clearing data of the offending app, especially for Google sevice framework.

Kenny - I did try that as well. I tried everything, I did the "Restore" option like 4 separate times, I wiped data, cache, dalvik cache 3 x, even did the Advanced option and went down the list. None of that helped. Now it may be that I just didn't wait long enough, but I figured 4-6 minutes of the "Samsung" screen meant it had stopped responding (I see that all that time in MS apps). I finally odin'd back to stock ec05, re-rooted (and updated back to cwm 3.1.0.1), then I ran the restore (not advanced), and it worked like a charm. Thanks for all the suggestions on this.

Sometimes our phones can be so finicky. Glad you got it working. Usually when Dalvik is rebuilding it takes awhile at the S screen, so you are correct that 4-6 minutes at Samsung is a cry for help from your phone.

Not true. I always go from froyo to gingerbread with backups. What he Did wrong was not wipe when he tried to restore his back up that's why he got stuck on the Sammy screen. Also if he tried to restore a rfs froyo rom it could've gotten stuck there also since bammbozle was ext4.

You can restore from EXT4 to RFS with advanced restore data nand. He said he tried all of this and still got stuck. But I think you are correct and the first restore attempt borked everything. From there a reflash then advanced restore data should have worked.

So if I understand what you guys said, I should have wiped first (before the initial restore), which I didn't do. When the first restore didn't work, then I did the wipe x3, but it sounds like by that point it was already too late. So should you always wipe before restoring? I only ask, because once I got everything back to a good place I flashed the sfr 1.2. The first attempt caused the phone to boot up with that annoying "Android" screen, so I just booted into CWM and restored. That time I just restored (no wipes, no advanced) and it restored fine. I then re-flashed and all was good. So it seems like you don't always have to wipe x3 before restoring? Thanks btw, all good info for future ref.
This is for anyone who's bricked their phone (stuck on boot loop):
I know some of you are testing our new ROMs out right now and some testers are bricking their phones, if this happens, just flash a kernel with CWM, then you need to unzip the zip file then copy the folder into clockworkmod/backup folder in your internal storage then restore in ClockworkMod Recovery and you should be at least back on Zedomax V2 kernel + stock ROM.
THIS IS NOT A ROM zip file, just a CWM backup you can restore. (don't try to install from sdcard, it won't work!!!)
Download zip file here:
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/Epic4GTouch/development/ZedomaxBackup.zip
After restoring to this stock ROM plus rooted kernel, you can do this to get it completely stock:

Please hurry. bootloops suck That's what I get for not doing a nandroid.
If it's anything like cwm on the evo, you want to avoid restoring someone elses nandroid since it will overwrite your wimax keys...unless the wimax file is excluded.
Samsung stores their wimax keys differently.
Thanks for doing this bro
are the wimax keys included in this or not? id like to keep my 4g

Ok so I need help unbricking....Here is what I did...
Ran odin to root, no problem.
Flashed zedomax kernel, no problem..
Played with apps and settings, quadrant crashed so I went into clockwork and master resert, clear cache, and davlik, to start all over.
now my phone won't boot past bootup logo. I downloaded this recovery backup and no luck. any suggestions?
I am attempting this recovery process now. The following are the results:
ClolkworkMod Recovery v4.0.1.5
Checking MD5 sums...
Erasing boot before restore...
Restoring boot image...
Restoring system...
Restoring data...
.android_secure.img not found. Skipping restore of /sdcard/.android_secure.
Restoring cache...
Restore complete!
Then, I reboot but I am still stuck in the bootloop. Any thoughts?
While the restore works, I'm having the data connectivity issue that I wasn't before. Google talk verification failed. I'm gonna pull bubbys kernel and flash it over. I'm still wondering if clockwork isn't wiping properly and that's the reason people are having bootloops.

I'm having the same verification problem with Google Talk. I was having connectivity issues initially but after performing a ##72786# reprovision it seems to be working (at least for now, will update if that proves wrong).
Initially I was able to connect to the web and browse the market but downloading any apps would loop infinitely. The reprovision fixed that as well.
Hopefully we'll see a flashable ROM soon that works as intended but for now this is certainly a good standby. Thank you!
EDIT: Reprovisioning was a panacea. It looked good but I can't maintain a 3G/4G connection for more than a few minutes. Apps will install only after queuing them in the Market then restarting. WiFi connects but I can't download anything over that either. Considering hard-bricking and playing dumb with Sprint so I can exchange it then giving up on the custom stuff until development has progressed.
I was actually thinking of the doing the same thing...if you do hard brick it and take it back, lemme know how it went for you pls,

hi everyone. ok here's my problem, yesterday i installed acs ics 5.5 rom, then i nandroid restored the ei22 deodexed stock just to test the nandroid restore, just to see if it worked for me. i then again flashed back to the ics 5.5 rom, and this morning i nandroid back to ei22 again, because i wasn't happy of the non - 4g function.
anyways, later on today i decided to go into "my files" and delete 3 of the 4 nandroid backups that i had. because i believe the 3 that i deleted were bad. well after i did that, i started getting apps force closes, and now i can't open gtalk or my text message app.
if i do a factory reset, should that fix the problem? before i turn to odin and perform the whole process all over again?
NOTE - everytime i did the restores and flashes, i did do a pre-rom wipe with acs recovery.

Someeone just posted a similiar issue they associated with the8ir sd card.
They said after nand bkp they had fc's and no apps on sd showed. Wiping cache and dalvik would be pre factory default wipe imho.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yes, a Factory data reset will clear the FCs. But you will lose 3rd party apps and anything you have set up will have to be set up again. If you have a nandroid you can trust you can do an advanced restore data to get those things back.

Awesome good work. Just out of curriosity...did you try the reccomendations here? What were the results?
Glad u got it up and thanks for the update.
sent from a phone using an app
yes i did. i did a factory reset and wiped the cache partition and dalvik cache, and still nothing. somehow after i deleted the 3 nandroid backups, things got messed up. i kept getting errors of framework and gapps process issues. i don't know what could have caused it, but it wasn't pretty. at least i was able to get it fixed with odin.
question regarding this type of issue though, if i would have checked marked re-partion along with the reboot, what would happen? cuz i was really tempted to do so, but i didn't, given the fact that i didn't know exactly what would happen.
If you check repartition you need to include the PIT file which is the map of the partition for our phone. That will put your phones partition back to what it was when new.
ok, and where can i find the pit file? sorry again for the dumb question, but this is the part that is very new to me.

No problem, we are here to help. The PIT file should be packaged with Odin so when you unpacked it into a directory it should be there. Victoryxxxxx.PIT
ohh yea, i have that file. so that's what that file is for. ever since i got odin and started using it, i've bee wondering what that file was for. ok, so, in what type of circumstances can i use that file? like what happened to my phone yesterday? or what?
just so i have an idea of when i should use it.
When in doubt you can always use the PIT and repartition. F.reset resets all the clocks in the phone so there is no need to fear if you accidentally leave that checked.
I'm having the same issues here. Once I flash a rom, after a week or two I get this FCs but I notice this usually happens when I swap batteries or restart my phone. Once I flash a new rom or same rom everything works just fine until I have to swap or restart my phone.
What's causing this? Mine friend epic is having the same issue and he is getting tired of the phone to the point of putting it for sale. Is there a way to fix this?

I'm having the same issues here. Once I flash a rom, after a week or two I get this FCs but I notice this usually happens when I swap batteries or restart my phone. Once I flash a new rom or same rom everything works just fine until I have to swap or restart my phone.
What's causing this? Mine friend epic is having the same issue and he is getting tired of the phone to the point of putting it for sale. Is there a way to fix this?

You are not shutting down correctly causing bad data writes to your phone. Turn power off, after the vibration make sure keyboard lights are off before you pull battery. Also make sure you have journaling enabled.

I have used marcusant and sleeper rom at the moment, and they usually shut downs completely with the screen, but yes I make sure the light on the kb are shut. I don't know much about journaling, I guess I have to read about it.

Then it is strange that swapping batteries would cause any kind of data corruption. I believe those ROMs have journaling on by default. FCs are usually easy to fix. Most times it is a Google Services Framework error. This can be fixed using Titanium Backup and scrolling to Google Framework Services, select it and choose wipe data. Do that for any other app that FCs as well.
