LOS issue - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I just got los twice within 20 minutes and I usually get it around 5 times a day which is a bit excessive. My setup is starburst 1.9.5 ciano theme and im running at 800mhz max 500 min. Im actullay starting to t think have the phone run at 800mhz causes LOS more offten

I am on Calkulin's V1.1 as of two days ago with absolutely no LOS yet to speak of... would consider check out the thread.

My phone started doing this lately and I restored/unrooted my phone and it doesnt get hot anymore. I've had my phone for 3 weeks and I rooted it on day 1 using zedomax's overclocked rom. Had no L.O.S issues at all but all of a sudden it started getting hot. Im gonna root again when he releases the next update....I miss my rooted phone already :'(
I use midnights rom without the Zedomaz OC kernal and use Z's stock kernal because I was having problems with receiving calls and texts.

Phone seems cool, BUT when I got my phone stock, it only ran hot with WIFI on and charging.
My phone also gets hot when I use it. What are your guys settings? Like brightness setting, or if it's OC& UV. The
I have my brightness lowered to the lowest setting and then changed he file again to lower it even more thanks to other devs and users.

Do anyone have a sugestion for the over heating
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I suggest flashing StarBurst 1.6. I had overheating problems on stock doing basic things too (web, call, light gaming.) Ever since being rooted for about a week, no overheating since. Highest now is floating around 43 degrees celsius, and idle is 24-30.
I think the overheating has to do with the Android OS bug from what I've been experiencing on my phone. SB1.6 got rid of some background process that may help to lower AOS and overall heat output. Good luck.

My phone gets hot in a similar fashion and I am stock.
I think you may be correct. I experience the AOS bug as well.
Do you have a link to the starburst rom

Root

Is it even worth rooting right now with Los and all?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
I'd say it depends on how much you value the things root can bring. I'm personally holding off for now, as the stock kernel runs pretty well and I haven't had a single LOS issue. I'd be kicking myself if I rooted my phone and started having LOS, so I'll hold off until LOS is squashed entirely (if that's even possible) or there's a more compelling reason to root.
Root can be had with stock kernel so if you aren't getting Los now no reason to fear it

Considering that rooting doesn't cause LOS and with this kernel it can actually [almost completely] eliminate LOS.....yes?
Well if Samsung/ Sprint fix the Los, I guarantee almost all roms will incorporate it. And the is chris's kernal that gets rid of the Los a lot. Also the roms make it fast, so why not root?
I waited about a week before I rooted mine then rooted and flashed Chris's kernel right away and I'm golden. I couldn't stand not being able to freeze/remove bloatware or flash other roms. Me likes to tinker.
All depend what u want out of it. Maybe u dont even have to rooted lol. My signal is good no problem with los.

I'm rooted and running LoSKernel. It's very stable for me, and I haven't had LoS aside from a brief moment running old starburst and an old kernel. It seems this problem is being dealt with quite well
I had no LOS completely stock, when I went to starburst 1.5 with zedomax (v3 and 4) I got LOS. So I dumped zedomax, and I went with the latest LoSt kernel with starburst 1.6... well 1.7 now, and I haven't had a single LoS since in 4 days. and I'm getting 4500 quadrant scores @ 1.6 using setcpu. Not to mention I get up at 10 am, go to work til 3, and with moderate use my phone is still above 75% when I get home. Pretty happy right now, it would take something pretty spectacular to get me to move away from this combo.
I'm also on 1.7 With lostkernal no Los. Stock I didn't get it until I was roaming
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
You are confused. Root is simply using an exploit allow you to modify protected files. Changing kernels is what can increase/decrease LoS. Root can be had with the stock kernel.

Like all the posts said there isn't any reason to be worried about LOS. Use lost kernal which improves performance with starburt 1.7 which also speeds the phone up ansd some how makes it smoother scroling ( wasn't sure that was possible but it is ) and will wont ever look back. Believe me you wont and I also suggest going into the themes section and checking out HoneyGlow v2. Its simply amaxing but there are others that are compatible also. The one I can hardly wait to have a compatible version is Overstews OBSIDIANRED theme. Its too notch. Evec if you don't like red ( as I once didn't ) with this screen you will love it I imagine

What battery temp is normal and abnormal?

I have tried countless roms, and kernels over the past 6 months. It has become my new addiction since I stopped smoking! Haha. I'm running samurai 1.4 and my battery is hitting 100 degress F. Mind you, this is on the charger. Anyone know what's good and when to be concerned?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
If you use your phone and have it overclocked while its charging its gonna get hot. (I assume ur overclocked since u have that kernel)
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Yeah, its overclocked but nothing crazy. Usually keep it at 1100 since I use it so much. I suppose this was a pointless post. If its gonna get hot,then its gonna get hot. Thanks for the reply.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
System panel is a great app to check out...you can monitor CPU as well as battery temperature. If your pushing your CPU, its gonna get hot, like previously stated...but maybe if you monitor some things you may be able to cut down on app usuage to help the CPU out...good luck

[Q] 10 Lock Mod Leak Problems, Kernel Perhaps???

I have read a few posts...some having memory leak problems..others are not..one solution i saw was kernel related. I really love the shake and bake theme but moved to mim black out theme e122 because of random reboots. I was also running the samurai kernel. Those of you who are not having reboot memory leak problems..are you guys running the shadow kernel or maybe the latest updated samurai!??? Thanks in advance...

I would LOVE too see this get figured out. I had some reboots on the mod myself, but none the last couple days I ran it. I didn't have any in the 2 days while testing the version of my theme without it. In that time my battery never got low, and I did a few flashes fixing things so it was hard to measure.
Running 2 phones side by side for several days with shadow 1.0.1 and the same EI22 rom, one with 10 lock mod, the other without. I pulled several random reboots on the lockmod phone. I switched the other phone to no lockmod and it has been reboot free for 3-4 days now. The original phone without lockmod is 6+ days reboot and lag free. Ram has not dropped below 75 free, usually hangs around 110-115 free, and recovers to 130 free at times. Running no task killers and not manually clearing ram.

I'd say it's confirmed that the lockmod is causing the reboots somewhere. I haven't had a single reboot on stock OC/UV while running no lockmod, but I had multiple a day while running the lockmod.
Myth Confirmed!
The lockmod "may" be a factor in the equation but I gaurantee you it's not the only one. I run ICS 2.1 Lockmod and have been using the Shadow Kernel since it's release and have had no reboots and my ram is almost "always" between 100 and 150 free. Before even flashing a lockmod theme I had reboots on Samurai Kernel and low free ram. If it works fine for me without those issues then there is another variable in the equation that I'm not using that everyone else having issues is. That's common sense if you've studied anything in technology, mathematics, or science.

Cool..ill take this into consideration and run my own tests which will not be as extensive as you guys but info is info none the less lol. Thanks...and happy flashing!!

Agreed. Of course there are other variables that will cause reboots. I was just posting results from one recent test on a specific setup. Different roms, mods, kernels, usage, etc, can cause their own issues.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I think it's something in particular in conjunction with the lockmod causing massive ram leaks. Not "just" the lockmod itself. If it was "only" the lockmod not a single person using it would "not" suffer ram leaks and "not" get reboots. Though "many" do I do not, and know of quite a few others using themes with lockmods who also do not.

The only thing I've changed is going from lockmod theme to no lockmod theme. I'll see how it does over the next few days.

I have recently reduced my ram leakage to null by various ram tweaks, shadow kernel, and a removal of the 10-lock mod . That said, if you push your phone hard enough, it is still possible to re-enact the reboots just the same.
Basically, your phone can, and sometimes does hemorrhage ram. But when configured properly, it can recoup that ram harmlessly without your noticing. However, the 10-lock mod is a fairly integrated mod. Even the 8-lock mod is similarly integrated. With that in mind, the mod merely "enhances" the leakage to a point where it can no longer successfully be recouped over time. Once ram dips below a particular threshold, the phone is forced to soft-reboot itself in an effort to prevent a crash.
The glitch is most certainly in the kernel. Some suspect that it is in the wifi driver. Research is under way.
Simply put, it's like this:
Your phone is a boat and the kernel is a small hole in the floor.
Normally, a midget is there to help you bail out the boat so it doesn't sink.
When you add in the 10-lock mod, you drop a fat guy on top of your midget.
Now your boat sinks too fast to bail it out.

Actually I did read what you said. I was just making a comment that I was going to see how it goes for me over the next few days with the one change in my set up.
I just had a soft reboot, so time to change something else.

My personal experience. I run CleanGB ROM which has the RFS file system, not Ext4. I've tried all the themes with lockmod and without on the ROM with NO issues. One day I decided to go to EXT4 and bam: reboots and heavy memory loss. Converted back to RFS and magically, all issues went away. I have tried Shadow, and all Samurai kernels with no issues. I don't know enough about this stuff to guess why the lockmod doesn't play nice on EXT4, but that is my experience.

Overheating on Blazer 4.1?

I just flashed this ROM last night and I love it but it seems to heat up rather quickly. Last night after I finished setting it up it was between 105° and 111° for about 30 minutes. Now, after leaving it alone for a few hours it's at 95° when it would usually be at 80° or 79° with Calk's 3.0. P.S. It's REALLY cold in my room. Anybody else experience this?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
I've never experienced that, and I was on blazer 4.1 for a long time. Have you tried a fresh install?

I flashed it last night. For some reason it seems to be going down as I'm using it. Weird. An off-topic question, are there any tweaks for this ROM like the aggressive, moderate, and performance tweaks for Calk's 3.0?
