Constant Reboots - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running into an issue where I can constantly reboot/shutdown with my phone. I've tried multiple batteries, multiple ROMs, different ODIN flashes using different cables and computers, and even the fix using SetCPU/Tegrak, but I still get reboots when the phone goes into sleep. Looking at the battery chart on GB, it shows the battery shooting down immediately to 0 and shuts off.
I'm running out of ideas here.

We know. Its a gingerbread bug.

Yeah I got that. I have the same issue on Froyo, though. I've tried the stock GB leak, CM7, CK23s ROM, Syndicate 2.2, and stock EC05.

Sounds like a bad battery or loose contacts. That is the only thing that will have your voltage shoot to zero.

I've gone through 7 different batteries now and still have the issue with all of them. The terminals seem fine. So far I haven't had the phone shutdown or reboot outside of sleep. If it's plugged in or in use, there is 0 issue.

Did you run straight stock and see if it does it?

Yeah I've gone through both Froyo stock, GB stock, CM7, MIUI, CK23, Syndicate and still having the same issue.

If it does it on straight stock EC05 then your phone sounds broken. Put stock on and take it to Sprint.

Not that it would matter, but have you been switching modems with the ROMs? Also, have you tried to ODIN?
Flashing sometimes leaves behind those nasty little bugs. =)

You could try wiping battery stats in recovery. Your previous roms may have altered the stat to read 0. Flash a rom boot charge to "100" shutdown wipe stats.

Might also goto the new EI GB rom if you're going to flash.

I wonder if anybody has been lucky to have a working custom kernel with the new leak.

I have tried every custom kernel and no luck . My device keeps looping.

What are you talkin about buddy why you have to be such an ass. I didn't ask who wants to be the biggest ass.
I think I know what I'm doing full root, s-off, bake snack 1.7. With kernel #6.
I just posted a simple question, if it work for you, then good for you.
It sure has not work for me.
It only boots fine with the stock HTC kernel that comes with it. New kernel build.

I agree. Are you doing a delvik wipe before you flash the kernel? What kernel you tried? Some kernels are only for 2.1, 2.2, sense only or sell only. Do you have setcpu? Do you have it overclocked and have save on boot checked? Need more info..

Lol.. new leak to me was the new 2.2 froyo Rom that is rooted and leaked. People are not.mind readers. And the 2.2 I'm talking about is the update that hasn't come out yet. So before you get mad about a reply.. you should note if you post something vague expect those replies.
Edit: the new fresh Rom. Look at it. Some consider that as a leak since the update isn't even out yet and he has it and made a Rom.

I used king #8 without problems. Some kernels did the boot loop also for me. But notice on one after it did that a few times it full worked after. Sometime if that happens pull battery. Do recovery and do delvik again. Reboot. Sometimes it takes a fee reboot and don't know why.. let me know. I'll keep checking this for you and help.. I'm going to be up for awhile..

Just wanted to see the so called better battery life but I'm constantly on my phone and also my house I have poor signal so drains my battery for pulling a tower.. sucks. I'll start with king and let you know. Not all phones are the same. Some can and some cannot run the same kernel.
King #8 works fine for me. Just takes awhile to load up. Bootscreen takes awhile and vibrates and seems to run longer than normal. Then it loaded it without loops. Just be patient. Hope this helps.

i think by "new leak", he was referring to the new froyo frg33 or whatever leaked for the n1. if thats the case then the answer to your question is no.

That is only kernel source, not a full tar release. The closest you can get is the nandroid dump. Restore that, root, flash an EXT4 kernel.

Why don't you Odin to EC05 stock, accept the OTA, then follow the steps on rooting it which includes flashing an EXT4 kernel?
---------- Post added at 09:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 AM ----------
Here is supposed to be a clean GB. You will probably still need to flash an EXT4 compatible kernel, and may have to run RFS2EXT4 if you are set on EXT4. It also helps you set up to use Heimdall instead of Odin.

How is the ROM you are running now? If you are seeing some wierd things at 1400 Mhz, you may want to try toning it down to 1200.
I have one of the first deodexed ROMs released that I believe only has the gps fix in it if you want that. Let me know and I will put it in my dropbox and send you a link.

I have that one too. Noobl has a point with the gps being fine. With the fix everyone is doing to get 9 sat locks is over kill and does drain battery if you leave it on all the time. with out the gps fix I get better battery life and locks as fast and as accurate. And that's from my own personal observation.
But I'm running acs v5 with sumarai colonel at 1.49 ghz. Runs almost perfect boot will reboot at least one time daily at those speeds. If I leave out at 1ghz, the reboots does NOT go away. Still get it. But 1 reboot ain't bad. I think its red headed step child gingerbread running out of ram.

I'm running stock deodex with samurai kernel at 1.44. was doing 1.49 but noticed irregularities. Nothing that caused issues but it liked 1.44 better. You may want to try this setup.
Your phone will kill itself above 1.2... you will get to the point that you will get reboots even on stock at 1.0 ghz from abusing the processor previously. This is why I never overclock at all. I never have issues on any rom with reboots.

I am glad im not the only one. I have tried ACS v5, and Legendary Rom with both the nuberal and samurai kernels and still get random reboots. I have tried running it overclocked at 1.1 ghz, 1.2ghz, 1.3ghz, 1.4ghz, same results. All overclocked speeds last the same amount of time before I get a random reboot.
All the custom roms are very, very similar in terms of bugs and random reboots.
I am trying starskyRom at the moment, and so far, its flawless...well...flawless when the phone is on. The only bug I can report is my battery screen does not show up when I try to charge the phone when the power is off. Nothing very big, but still annoying knowing there is always something. In the end im willing to take it in the nuts a few times to get a good final product in the end. Lots of good developers around here, and they do great work.
Stock ei22 would be a very, VERY stable rom if they would just fix the damn GPS, Keyboard Lag, and Screen Rotation lag.
Given time all these roms will become perfect, but until then, we are just BETA testers.

Not RAM. It was proven on the leaks that it was voltage and speed causing the reboots. We fixed it with Tegrak and SetCPU combo. RAM does not leak out. Lots of apps suck it dry and the stock task manager sucks and does not see a LOT of apps that are stealing RAM. Have not seen anyone mention a reboot on Legendary. As for the GPS with the fix I never lose lock, without the fix I lose lock every 15 minutes on a trip and would occasionally require a reboot to get it back...not the best situation when driving. Give me 9 out of 9 locks any day and a car charger and I am good to go.

Yup, typical response. Every device behaves different with these mods. I find stock ie22 to be the best stable room. Once you go deodex, you remove stability for some reason. That's from my observation of being a addicted flashing crack hor.

Granting applications Root access does absolutely nothing to effect your reception or your battery. Notice the Big period

You gotta get a ROM. You will find that they are improved with more battery life than stock. And Jangst is absolutely right. Rooting.will have no affect on your battery life other than your display being up so bright.or running applications in background.

I also tried different kernels and am now back with the stock one. I got worse battery with non stock kernels. People will say otherwise, but I use my phone the same daily, and I can easily tell.

Which root method did you use?
You may have inadvertently screwed up the battery stats while rooting!
So you may need to recalibrate the battery.
I resisted rooting for the 1st two weeks and I can say I definitely get better battery like with Juggernaut and Bullet.
So give this a try.
Here ya go
Try charging to 100% then
Shut off, Pull battery for about 1 minute, replace, and charge to 100% and with the charger still plugged in
Boot to recovery
Wipe cache partition, then in advance wipe Dalvik and wipe Battery Status
Reboot after 5 to 10 min, unplug the charger and reboot
Or before Flashing a ROM or Kernel
My personal theory is that flashing on something other than 100% full battery screws up the calibration! So,,
Charge to 100% before Flashing
Then only wipe Wipe cache partition, then in advance wipe Dalvik and DO NOT wipe Battery Status
Works for me
If you don't have recovery!
Try charging to 100% then
Shut off, Pull battery for about 1 minute, replace, and charge to 100% and with the charger still plugged in
Reboot and try the following posted by explodingboy70
Calibrate your battery!
- There seems to be a safety feature in Gingerbread or Samsung's version of Gingerbread that causes the battery to start draining when it reaches 100%. That said to calibrate your battery properly you must do it as soon as the battery full pop up appears.

You should give the custom kernels at least a week to set in. I didn't get amazing battery until like 5-6 days after I flashed bullet kernel. I'm on stock rom as well....

[Q] Any solution to the ICS random WIFI disconnect?

I've read quite a few posts mentioning this but haven't seen any solutions. I'm running Phantom Blazer's ICS ROM with AGAT's newest kernel. Are all ICS ROMs facing this problem or this is specific to Phantom's ROM? If there isn't a solution to this I'll need to go back to GB, I've missed some important emails from work due to this problem.
how did you flash to blazers rom? Did you do a full wipe or no data, I've been seeing a lot of posts about ics bugs where the poster tried to do a nodata flash, this is known to cause lots of wide ranging issues... personally I'm currently on mijjazs goodness but run aokp and cm9 regularly as well, I've not had any issues with wifi disconnecting, and believe me I would notice, I use wifi for most everything as sprint data is mostly unuseable in my area
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Well, one possible solution for now may be to try another wireless router if you have one. I don't know the root cause of this problem, but I do know I had horrible disconnect issues at my girlfriends house after updating (to stock rooted FF18), but no issues at mine. She has a Netgear router, I have an Airport Extreme. they both relatively new. I brought my previous Airport Extreme to her house and set it up. Now I no longer have disconnects at her place either. This doesn't fix whatever is wrong with the phone, but it works...
I have tried all the roms every 1 of them! with a fresh install and wipe everything and wifi disconnects on every 1 of them
I.also did a fresh install using caulkalin's format all zip. My router is an older linksys. Never had any Wi-Fi issues with it on my galaxy s1(fascinate). Anyone know of any developers here have taken a look at what might be causing this?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
it definitely has something to do with the rom, when I am on e l 29 my phone never disconnects, when I flash any I c s rom, I get random disconnects.
Its ff18 TW....I used aokp and now cm9 but didn't have this issue. I did flash quite a few roms besides these and it always happened on tw based roms only.

Yeah happens to me too. But only when I have a weak wifi signal. Doesn't happen at home. Maybe due to the crappy routers in free wifi.

You can also try cm9...chris41g built a kernel for it where you can now control the governor and processor. Battery life has been awesome, plus no wifi issues. Too bad the kernel doesn't work on aokp yet.

I've read quite a few posts mentioning this but haven't seen any solutions. I'm running Phantom Blazer's ICS ROM with AGAT's newest kernel. Are all ICS ROMs facing this problem or this is specific to Phantom's ROM? If there isn't a solution to this I'll need to go back to GB, I've missed some important emails from work due to this problem.

Nobody really answered your question as to whether this was a 'known' ics issue. And I'm not going to suggest that you 'buy a new router just in case'. What I will tell you is that I have the same problem, but unfortunatley I'm on the same ROM as you, so I can't rule that out. But there's definitely an issue and it is definitely associated with ICS; would be interested in what non-Blazer folks are seeing.
I've been on AOKP for a full day now. Still no problems with Wi-Fi and I may have spoken too soon about the battery. I'm at 12 hours at 56% with 3 hours screen time which is a lot better than I got on my s1. I love all the options on this rom too. Loving having my 4 way lock screen back.

In case you're still seeing this problem - I switched to Blend ICS FF18 / Goodness 16.6 and the wi-fi problem would seem to have disappeared. I suspect the issue is/was somewhere in the Blazer ROM. I'd ask if the dev was working on it, but probably get flamed; that ROM hasn't been updated in a while anyway, so you might want to try Blend anyway.
I am having the same issues. My Wifi goes up and down every 5 seconds which kills my battery. Mine started on stock phone on GB 2 weeks ago on EL29 (phone was not modified or rooted). I was hoping rooting and flashing to CM9 would fix it. It has not, I have tried multiple modems as well. Any suggestions?
I have a 4 month old NetGear router. All other Wifi devices in the house are working fine.
Its probably just kernel related or router issue, been running blu kuban ics which is touchwiz based and never had a wifi issue. The kernel is sourced build by rujeluss22 with it's own modified recovery based on agat's recovery. Try it out, you guys might like it.

This is not a router issue, unless it effects every router I've connected to since changing to ICS. (dozens)

Anybody found a possible solution yet? I've never had this issue on sprint's stock GB. Currently running Blazer AGAT 0.4.0
Haven't had any problems with this setup. overall ff18 sucks for many of us.

So you think it's the modem? Is the modem even responsible for WiFi? I though it was responsible for cell connection only

Nothing but hell since ICS

I have had nothing but hell out of this phone since ICS. Has anyone had a lot of problems with ICS or is it just me? Nothing works consistently anymore. I believe this phone has become unreliable.
Wow hell.. huh?
Did you consider rooting and try custom ROMs to get to heaven?

I did. :/
The several i tried lasted a week at the latest. But most did the same thing as stock ics. Calls never recieved, voicemails never received. Once i couldn't dial out and it took three flashes to fix it. I got a new one from sprint but i really just don't know if i want to go through anymore drama.

Try OC EL29, you'll get no bugs, and a better battery life than on ICS.
Still had trouble with ics and el 29. I tried just running GB but that message never goes away. Its always trying to download and killing my battery and connection. I never had this niche trouble with my evo 4g
There's an unrooted trick that is said to kill the update notification.

The devs did a great job with the ROMs but its not the same like gingerbread since Samsung and sprint screwed our ICS, every custom ROM I tryed still has that nasty super fast scroll, it has that glitchy freezing up a bit also when scrolling. OP if you want ICS you will need to get on an aosp ROM or cm9 and aokp that's the closest and smoothness of ICS you will get or you could just roll back to gingerbread.
Another thing is there's a lot of folks that would claim how smooth these ICS custom ROMs are but in reality it isn't its either you guys are blind or your just to into and to used to ICS that it blended in you guys soul.every time I roll back to gingerbread I see a huge difference in smoothness and butter heck even these jellybean aosp and cm10 ROMs are way smoother then the ICS that Samsung and sprint gave us.

Maybe I'll try a jellybean ROM. With the short gap between ICS and JB, i wonder if ICS is the Vista of Android.

One piece of advice: Go get sfhub's stock ek02 or eg30 auto package. Start from the beginning and go back and flash an ICS ROM. That usually fixes any bugs. :good:
I don't know about the other ICS ROMs but I have tried CM9 and Blu Kuban and they come as close to perfection as we could've gotten without source kernel. Haven't fully tried ICS since just because I prefer the better battery life of GB though.
I'm on cm10 and the battery is much better than anything I got in ICS, and I've tried half the ROMs out there. Blue kuban, codename, cm9, aokp, etc. The cm10 ROM is freaking amazing. Honestly, try it. You won't regret it

I might try cm10, but I've tried CM on this phone and the evo4g I had and they were both horrible experiences.
I'm getting pretty decent battery on pics and not to many bugs lol.don't use 4g.task manager doesn't kill me. So its working beautifully for me

Also I hope you are not restoring apps and data when downgrading etc. Start clean 100%.

Look, if you are doing everything right as you say, and are having problems that are making your phone "hell," the problem is likely your device itself. I have personally never had issues with any ICS builds, from the leaks, to the OTAs, to CM9. And the latest FH23 leak gives me excellent battery life. Unfortunately, since you didn't give any more information to go on than the fact that you phone has been hell, I have no further advice to give you then to get your phone replaced. Again, I have had no issues with ICS. Running much smoother than GB.

I have never had any battery life issues. All my problems revolve around the phone part of my smart phone. I didn't start a thread to cry as as one jerk off suggested, I am having huge problems around ICS that is making my phone worthless. Even this replacement phone that i just activated is getting **** phone reception compared to my old one with GB. If they both have ICS installed they both get crap signal. I wonder.if its related to Sprint.

First thing, have you updated profile and PRL? If so, have you tried using the ODIN one-click to go back to EL29 ROM, kernel, and modem? Let's start there. If you are having no issues using EL29 as I suggested, we can further explore this being an ICS-related issue. Otherwise, it could very well be Sprint. If that works fine, use ODIN to install the latest FH23 leaked ROM, kernel, and modem. Forget flashing through recovery for now, and only use the one-clicks that erase user data. Also, do you have these issues everywhere you go, or is this localized to a particular area? To put it simply, for 2 phones to be having an identical problem (given a device that is not really known for having problems) is very strange, which leads me to blame Sprint in your particular area. But if you say that you did not have these issues on GB, let's explore that further. ODIN EL29 and report back.
