The Galaxy s 2 Epic 4g touch sprint OTA update to Gingerbread EK02 tweaked the battery and kernel like no other. wow.. I advise people revert to stock via odin and just get the OTA.. it updates when it reboots and then says there's an error with the yellow triangle but simply reboot your phone again.

Facepalm...
You used the wrong tar, when you updated, the update failed (hence the yellow explanation point). No worries, head over to the dev section and Odin the modem only in phone. Odin the EG30 modem then flash the ek02 modem in RECOVERY. Or since eg31 is working for you, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I bought a spare battery from Amazon for like $15. Fits in my wallet. On a related note, it may be a placebo, but rebooting after unplugging seems to prevent the Android OS bug.

I've noticed worse battery life too. LOS was not much of an issue for me and with vipers Los checker I never noticed a LOS. Im going to play with ek02 for the rest of the next week but if I don't get any better results I plan on rolling back to E30.

I thought it was bad at first but yesterday I got 12 hours and today so far its at 11 hours and 30 min's and is still at 57%. Its only gonna get better cause the OS is still the highest thing draining my battery so its still pulling the stats. I think its good battery life.
Same as flashing any ROM. It takes a couple of days for the battery to settle into the ROM. The first couple of charge cycles are probably gonna be garbage. After a few days you should be fine. Don't worry about all the whiners.
I think people been exaggerating the battery drain.. It hasn't been bad.. Just gotta give stuff time to settle in and stop tweaking stuff and always changing up something... I been having great battery with heavy usage

Personally, I have not had any issues. In fact, my battery life has significantly improved. I am still trying to pin down if it is app or ROM related.

MR 4 means Maintenance Release 4.
It's their 4th maintenance release for the phone.
I think it went EL26 -> EL29 -> FF18 -> FH13. were all OTAs
Was expecting this since they added FH13 to the open source page this morning as mentioned over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30559316&postcount=202

As long as the "core" apps are in place and all you did was root, according to the sfhubs threads with one clicks, you'll get the ota.
That being said - being rooted alone, people have failed at getting ota pushes.
If you really want ota, best bet is to go back stock and unless anyone can say different, that means going back to ek02..

Had my E4GT for a while now, came with FF18 2.3.6, then did the OTA 4.0.4 FL27, then went through FL24. Then I got sick of waiting for JB, so I threw GA10 4.1.2.
I messed up, because I Rooted, installed AGAT, then flashed the ROM on the phone. However, when I flashed either the ROOT or Recovery, the modem or something got messed up.
The phone will freeze, and reset if 4G or 3G radio is on. So my question is, what did I do wrong? And how can I fix it.

That will take you to the stock ROM repository where you can find every ROM official and leaked if I'm not mistaken.... You'll probably want EL29 so just find it there and download the version you want to use i.e one click, zip etc..

Absolutely. Just when it starts up, it works fine for about 10-15 seconds then freezes. GA10 didn't do this. This freezing only happened when I had the root and AGAt on it (I messed up one of these, and I assume it's modem issues?)
IF so, if I flash the EL29 package with the modem, it should fix my problem?
Also, it doesn't really matter...but will it make the yellow triangle and ODIN flash count go away?

Then I tried AOSP 4.1.1 Alpha 6 (Fantastic, but horrid battery life)
GA10 (Best I've tried, but horrid battery life)
2.3.6 OTA is my favorite so far.
