So you not on EL13? But yeah EG30 was goodfor me too.

EL13 doesn't have a modem, just a ROM/Kernel. You'll be on the modem that was in tact prior to flashing EL13. Try a different browser app or return to EK02.

Early to tell but the biggest thing I notice is wifi signal strength for me is much better. I would get 1 bar of wifi on my bed on all prior versions and right now I have 3 bars. Other than that I haven't done any major testing. If I leave my phone on all night when I get up in the morning I have to turn my wifi off to get data back. I can then enable wifi and be good. That happened often before EK02 and now it only does it every morning. So tomorrow morning I will know if it is fixed. Other than that I haven't noticed anything else but haven't done any testing either.

Yeah it is showing more bars but half the time here on XDA it hangs and I have stop and refresh to wake it up. Also on speedtest it hung 2 outa 3 times for me. But more bars showing. No Idea? Speed is the same though, when it does not hang.

No lockups for me so far. I have been on xda most of the day and just ran 4 speedtest's and no problems.

Damn, I have found myself leaving Wifi on 24/7 and when I leave, 4g connects instantly. When I walk back in my place, Wifi picks right back up. Considering I am pulling Wifi from my downstairs tenant, maybe I would be a good person to test if the range/signal strength is better on the leak..decisions decisions

My wifi hasnt changed but my signal has went from 2 bars up to 4 using el13....

Ok all I guess the third time is the charm. wifi is much better and no more browser lag. The only thing I did differently was my oldschool 3 cash wipes and 3 dalvic cash wipes. No more auto wipes for me.
I think ya really gotta clean some cobwebs out to get a good flash.
Thanks for the replies most gratis. Every little bit helps.

EL13 modem is rockin so far. Wifi signal strength has improved, download speeds up by 4-5Mb/s, upload speeds up by 2Mb/s. 3G signal fluctuates a bit but I think it's just doing a better job of seeking best connection as it went up by .7Mb/s on download speeds.

LOS on EL13

Anyone else?

I got it today as well.. after I flashed it, had los twice while underground..

Never once.
Are you using the EL13 baseband?
Also, What kernel?

Yup, using Calkulin's stock with chris4g's repack and EL13 modem. Maybe it was just a fluke, I was at my parents house which is in a decent service area, pulled out my phone to see the circle with the cross through it. Had to reboot to get service back. Eh, I'll just keep an eye on it.

I haven't had LOS since. I'm on EL26 now, and signal is stronger now.

Still LOSing here... I've tried EG30, 31, Ek02, EL13, and EL26. I get LOS on every one as soon as I go to work. The signal there is very week and the phone has to work hard to maintain a signal all day.

Sounds like it is a network dead spot and not related to the phone.

There is another topic we were discussing this issue. Basically the problem isn't fixed but they are attempting to tweak it so instances of LOS are getting smaller and smaller. Sounds like becuase of the location you are having a higher probability of tower disconnect or switching to roam which increases the likelyhood of you experiencing a LOS.
Yes, EL13 still suffers from LOS (aka it is not really fixed). Personally I haven't had one in EL26 (had a couple in EL13) but if you are experiencing it in EL26 then it isn't fixed there either.

Gps issues

I'm currently running blazer 4.1 with fc07 modem and gunslinger kernel. No matter what Rom I use, gb or ics, as well as testing with different modems, my gps will lock the first couple times but after coming out of a long sleep it won't lock at all. I've tried gps status with no luck, as well as tried the el29 gps fix when I was running that modem. The only thing that seems to work is booting into recovery and clearing cache and dalvik. This will get my gps to lock until my phone goes into another long sleep, then back to nothing. Does anyone know of any other fixes I could try?
Sent from my Blazing fast Epic 4G Touch

Have you cleared AGPS? Also try using a different kernel.

I've tried every combination of everything. I just reboot and that never fails to work. A little annoying, but, no big deal.

I figured it was just a bug in the ICS leaks. Mine also does the same.

Yes, I've reset agps and downloaded through gps status but nothing helps. I'll try a different kernel next, but even when I was on the ics roms and using the stock kernels it would do the same thing.
Sent from my Blazing fast Epic 4G Touch

I had gps lock issues too, but after trying most modems I found one that doesn't seem to have any problems. Make sure you update your profile and prl after flashing modems /kernels
Caulkins E4GT gb 2.9.2, fb27 modem, rogue gunslinger kernel on one EPIC beast of a phone

Sounds like u might just have a hardware problem and need a new phone. My first phones GPS was awful and wouldn't lock and my replacement is perfect. Trust me Samsung phones are all different. My epic touch is different than yours and so on. Take it to sprint and get another one.

Never had a problem with a lock on any GB Roms with any kernel or Modem...Ever since I flashed ICS Roms tho...is when it started...None of the (GPS) programs to improve locking would work...The last two leaks for ICS which would be FC06 and FCO7 I've been gettin locks...So its not a hardware problem...One sure way to get it to work is to restore a GB Rom with EL29 get a lock leave GPS Open boot into Recovery and restore a Nandroid Backup for the ICS Rom you were on...Open GPS and you will lock... this worked every time...But now since the last two leaks of the two previous ones I mentioned I haven't had a problem...So its either the Modem or the Kernel...I expect the Modem...The problem is on here a lot of people haven't had locking issues with GPS whether they are on ICS or GB...(Go Figure...)

If your not on ICS its hardware.... I had the same issue till I traded the phone in......new phone GPS works perfect on all GB Roms

If anyone needs any help with the epic touch hit me up on Gtalk @musclehead84

My GPS worked at one time, but not at all since ICS, and MAYBE the last two revisions of GB. Tried every trick in the book, even goong back to old modems. Hoping this is addressed on software soon, or I may turn the phone in. Not a dealbreaker, but a huge PITA, I do use it somewhat often. Then there's the principle of a defective product.

I also thought it is not a big deal until I took the bike at 11:30 pm for a ride and (I know this sounds dumb) but I got lost and when I tried to reboot, the battery decreased suddenly from 50 something to only 7%. I had to work my ass as quickly as possible to reach some place I know before it dies completely on me, hahaha...

I have GPS issues on my stock EL29. It was working previously but then I installed the ICS leaks and my GPS stopped working. Went back to complete stock and its still not working. Bummer.

After doing a full wipe and install of the stock rooted el29 tar, I finally got gps to lock successfully multiple times. I left gps locked and flashed blazer 4.1 and all is still good. Do you think its safe to do an advanced restore of data in recovery or should I just restore everything manually?

Reflashed both ROM and Modem, wiping cache several times
Tried Fast Fixer, GPS FIX, GPS Status and Toolbox.. nada...
Anything else? After all I tried, it only gets 2/2 sats after 5+ min

Is anyone by chance using an extended battery? I was for awhile and my gps was horrible. I never seemed to get a lock. I was to the point of being so frustrated that I was going to Sprint to claim a hardware issue. Put the original battery back in and gps locks every time now within seconds. Not sure if the extended battery was truly the cause but idk what else could explain it.

I'm running the stock battery...
I even tried w/o the rubber case... just in case... sigh...

Why not just flash a new modem? I've tried a few different modems and FC24 is the best I've found.

I'm not sure if someone has mentioned it already cause i'm to lazy to check: but Samsung has a temporary fix; type this into the dialer ##gpsclrx## and it should fix it for a couple hours.
If it doesn't work google it because I don't know if phone settings might block it from doing its job.

[DISCUSSION] FG20 Build

This is a thread to discuss the FG20 build for the Boost Mobile version for our phone.
As to my knowledge there are no issues running it on our Epic 4G Touch without of course a simple APN fix to get MMS.
What we've noticed is that its a more polished version of FF18 and what we should have essentially gotten for our phone.
I would like to know your experiences on FG20 and how it's running for you.
And note any bugs you notice please!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Everything seems fine, some (but fewer than FF18) apps FC on me. The multitask bug is still there, I haven't tested if the exchange bug is still there. Battery life seems a bit sketchy, but better than FF18's. This is near 92-95% percent of what our ICS update should have been in the first place.

I not sure to try the full ROM because I only flash the modem and can't even make a good call 95% of calls drop on me and the people I tell to call me they all went directly to my Voice mail.
Maybe I should try full ROM but dunno.
Edit: I just notice a few hours ago service get a Lil better, I will try again maybe was Sprint Service problems.

I've been on the fg20 modem for a few days now and not had any problem, I've have no 4g in my area and spotty 3g... my 3g speeds have been more or less the same as they were on ff11, but the consistancy and stability of the connection has improved and this has helped my battery life, not that I had an issue with my battery life... voice calls have been good and I've not noticed any change from what I experanced on ff11, which prior to this was the modem I got best results with

Hello, I tried the FG20 rom and noticed that there was no Roaming option in the settings, so I did a quick search for Boost mobile roaming and found that BST doesn't allow roaming. So for now, it's back to the somewhat unreliable (WiFi) FF18

I'm not sure what you're questioning, but I'll try to be more specific. After trying the FG20 ROM/Modem and realizing that it had no roaming option, I first reverted to a backup of FF18 ROM, keeping the FG20 Modem. But FF18 has an annoying WiFi issue where it often disconnects while in sleep mode. So I then restored old reliable a.k.a Blazer 4.1 ROM which doesn't have any issues whatsoever, or at least any that bothered me. The modem itself, whether EL29, FF18 or FG20, all performed about the same regardless of ROM type, so as of yet, there is no reason to go back to an earlier version than FG20.
Bottom line, when I mentioned WiFi issues, they had nothing to do with modems..... I think.

I am still trying to figure out what makes these builds so different.

Seems like more trouble than its worth. I think a lot if people thought fg20 would be our silver bullet. I have a feeling we'll see an update for our ics before too long
