EL26 is awesome.

I never get service at my girlfriends house. Now I atleast get a bar or two. Usually it jumps between roaming or no service.

I agree. Now with EL26 I get great signal in Walmart. Usually when I head to the back of the store I have no bars. But with EL26 my 3G is rockin

I was in love with EG31 for a while, but, EL16 ended up being better in the long run... EL26 didn't impress me so I didn't keep it for more than a couple hours... But given all of the positive responses I'm flashed it and I'm going to "let it settle" for a few days.
... I'm skeptical that "letting it settle" has any effect, but, it seemed to for EL16. Anyone that has any technical explanation (for or against) would be awesome.

I may be crazy... it could all be in my head or just some luck with the GPS process, but since I put on the EL26 stock rom, kernal, and modem (then rooted) it seems like GPS is much better. Satelites synced in few seconds when outside.
Anyone else? I have not applied any of the GPS fix to the stock EL26 yet, may not need too. Have not done any type of testing other than just using navigation and noticing the faster GPS connection (from GPS being completely off too btw).

Is that a screen from a App John? If so, which app? I also wanted to ask what app you use when you post screen caps of your battery usage, the graph one?

The gps app is gps status found in the market.
As far as el26 modem for me it was worse. I used it for 2 days and my speeds were half of what el13 was. I was having worse service and some ghost Los where it just wouldn't connect. Still liking calkulins 2.7 but had to revert my modem back to el13.

I wish Sprint would release an OTA update for this already.
Sprint? Hello? You listening here?

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.

If you are running a beta rom, wouldnt it make sense to go to PhantomHacker's forum to try to figure it out?

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?

I've had that issue on every release and not a single app has helped yet. usually takes about five minutes for mine and then jumps around like a jumping bean.

I have been having GPS issues as well.
Read through the threads, tried all the fixes I could find.. nothing seems to work..
Running Calkulin's E4GT v3.0 ROM with FD16 modem
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.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

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 have tried most of the modems, and was thinking of just going back to EL29 as that is what is listed with the ROM, andstarting from fully stock again
this may sound noobish... but I have been working with ROMs so much I haven't kept up with stock build details since I got the phone... so..
This still the current stock'ish build for the ET4G?

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.

Modem Issues Since ICS Update

Hey guys,
I was wondering if I can use the EL29 modem with ICS. I have had many issues with ICS and my phone, with the stock ROM and three other custom ROMs. I even had trouble with FH13 and FF18. I had many problems with my GPS not working and I had problems not receiving calls or being able to make calls.
I had to go back to GB in order to get my phone working. Which I like GB but I had to update to ICS to stop getting the annoying update notification.
Anyways, anyone else have this trouble. After talking to Sprint's super nerd tech support, I am 100% positive that my phone just hates anything but EL29.

You can use any modem you like on any build, whatever gets you the best results.

Thats good to know that I am not the only one. I would run GB still if it wasn't for the OTA update constantly spamming me to upgrade. No matter what I did it was either trying to download all the time killing my battery or it was telling me to install every ten minutes.

3g/cdma no service

Hey guys,
Not sure what to do about this. Unless someone has a better answer, I'm betting that the radio on my phone is dead.
Today, when I left work, I noticed that I was getting a phone signal, but my evdo data wasn't working. Turns out that wimax worked though. But then I ended up someplace where the wimax signal wasn't consistent, so I tried switching back to 3g, but no dice.
So, then I tried booting into the fc09 flashable boot utility to see if I could update profile, etc., but when I did, there was no mobile network at all, and since then I can't get the radio to recognize a signal at all. I have 4 working Sprint phones around the house, but my epic is the only one not working.
So, since I was there anyway, I tried accessing the hash/dialer codes for ##data# and see if I could reset the radio. But, the msl that I had written down for this phone didn't work. When I tried running connectbot to look it up in fc09, it crashed. When I rebooted into cm9, and looked it up there, there was no entry for ril.msl
I guess I could get the msl from sprint and try again. But I thought I would check here for a suggestion from the best community on the planet first. =)

This may sound like it has nothing to do with the modem, but when was the last time you wiped formatted data/ factory reset? I had your issue a while ago, and for some reason formatting data fixed it for me.

Your baseband version is unknown so the only way to fix it is to get the ns4g modem to stick or switch back to the fc09 modem, i use the fc09 modem and it is a lot more stable than the ns4g one, I would reccomend that one. To flash back to it all you need to do is flash a kernel for fc09 and flash the modem in odin and you should be done

I've been using the ns4g modem since October with no problems. I'll try reflashing again.

Well, how about this. I haven't reflashed the modem or anything yet, and now my cdma radio is working again. Hmmmm. I'll have to outside a little later and see if the evdo will work as well.
What can I say, this is bazaar. I guess I'm still leaning towards some sort of intermittent hardware problem.
