Strange ICS mobile signal behavior - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I'm running an FC14 rom with FC07 kernel and EL29 modem.
Here's what I'm seeing.

Notice mobile signal has a lot of black areas. Does this mean that I'm periodically losing the signal completely?
And how do I fix that?

yes, it means you are losing signal. Do you live in Atlanta by any chance?

This was talked about between myself JohnC and a few other people awhile back. The black areas (from the looks) of it are the old "white" areas that you would normally see. If you drop to an AOSP rom the signal line looks just like it once did back on GB roms. However it's now been changed in ICS. No one really knows why this was done as nothings been said about it. However the black really does not mean anything at all it could just be an image file missing or whatever but on the newer ICS leaks this is the normal look.

That's actually wrong. while running the ICS leaks I was not losing signal at any point and it would still show up. there were times it whould show up during times when I was actually ON the phone. So this does not have anything to do with LOS.

Yeah, its not a LOS. Its just the way it reports the signal on ICS. It had me worried at first but,I haven't lost signal once. I am wondering if it only reports during calls and texts. I had almost no calls on this phone yesterday. It was all trolling XDA and downloading as well as reading news stories and I have almost an all black line for signal

Yeah I've noticed this too. I thought it was a flaw. You can tell when it's happening. Check your status bar, your signal indicator goes away completely. It's annoying because I think it is losing signal when its not.

I notice something else, it seems to happen to me the most often when I'm connected to WiFi which you show you were as well. I believe this is an indicator for 3G network connection, not signal in general. 1xRTT is not represented in the stats if my hypothesis is correct
All 3, the OP, JC, and Me all were connected to WiFi constantly when it occurs

That makes sense and I did notice it also before. The one thing is even off WiFi it was still doing it but you could very well be correct with it working like that with WiFi on as I did notice the same thing.

I'm pretty sure this is it. But like I stated before, watch the signal indicator in the status bar. You'll notice it shows no one signal a lot at random times. I believe these two issue are connected.

This had gotten me curious as to what the cause is and I don't even have the black, mine looks normal. Could it be the custom rom? Maybe shed some light on it.

Do you ever get LOS, OP? I'm going to guess no.
I seriously think that some of us have a bunk modem firmware.
If I left my phone on a table and didn't touch it for 5 hours it would be dead.
This thing shreds through the battery. This is my second Epic Touch too.

Mine must've been in a good batch. lol First ET4G and it's crazy with battery life. (on stock battery was bad), but when I met LOStKernel, my phone barely sips the juice.
This is the best I've gotten with wifi and Bluetooth on the whole time. This isn't heavy usage but I did use the phone to text and make calls. All my web browsing was done one my touchpad

Just watched a 22 minute show on Netflix with wifi.
100% to 72%.
Kernel, ROM, settings don't seem to matter. (Calibrated battery four times)
That's why I think its the modem firmware.

I do/did. Haven't gotten it since I wiped, went back to stock, and rerooted to an Odexed ROM. I did this all before I charged it to 100% and calibrated. This is its first cycle on the 'new' software.
Keep in mind I specifically turned my brightness as high as it goes to drain it harder. That was for about half of the day. Now I've listened to music and I work an 8.5 hour shift today and before it would drain a lot faster even on a busy work day without using the phone much.
I'm on stock odexed ROM with stock+root kernel using tegrak overclock to undervolt -100 across the board and not overclocking or using a different governor. I also installed the NoCIQ mod and the teamvenum battery saver mod. Froze some bloat in titanium too.
Posting an update here in the tail end of my work shift.

Different Modems
Is there only one modem for this phone? I'm having the issue with the battery drain and have been on several different ROMs. Can someone please link any different modems if they know. I'd be willing to test this out.

There is the eg12 modem and the eg30 modem.
EG12 is here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284602
If I were you, I would try whatever one you aren't currently running.
My phone came with EG30 and now I'm using EG12...it's only been a little bit so I don't want to say too much but I will say, my battery doesn't seem to be (quite literally) pouring out of my phone anymore.
Wheres EG30 Modem.bin
Im on EG12 Baseband right now. Where would i be able to find the EG30 Modem.bin just by itself?

Samsung Radios are AWFUL!

So I went to a Sprint store today and did some speed tests next to a Photon. I could not believe how much better speeds the Photon got compared to my ET4G! What the heck?!
Photon
4G is NOT on! Double checked that. Pretty sure if it was the 3G icon wouldn't be there...

Looks like you're in 3g and the photon is on 4G.
I get similar 3g speeds to your epic test but higher 4G than that photon.

Thought we knew this
Samsungs radios are the worst ...
Yeah umm the Photon is on 4g considering the 4G icon is turned on and looks to be actually working. Might want to go back and turn on your 4g and then do a speed test? But yeah it's a known factor that the Samsung Radios suck for CDMA......
Well it wasn't in 4G, this area doesn't have it and I checked the 4G notification it said disconnected...
@Saint, yea I heard a little about samsungs bad radios but never thought anything of it. Well I decided to check it out. Wow the difference is crazy! Makes me want a Photon for the better signal alone!

I will admit the Photons radio is FAR superior but this phone IMO beats it in every other aspect ... except battery life also ... Photon has WAY better battery
It's not that the radio is awful per-se. The antenna design is about average while the Photon is above average.
With a decent signal (and assuming the tower is one of the upgraded ones) I get 2Mbps downloads, so the radio is "capable" of much higher speeds but if the antenna is not able to pull in a stronger signal, that can affect your speeds.
Hmm ok. Interesting comments. Well this is a little upsetting lol. I LOVE this phone, I just wish my signal speeds were better! Sfhub?! 2mps down?? That's insane on Sprint from my experience!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
Yeah, unfortunately in the area I'm mostly at, the backhaul is not upgraded yet. My ping times are still very good (for wireless) at 77ms, but I'm at 250-400kbps on weekdays and a more usable 400-750 on weekends. The areas I travel to are the ones that got upgraded.
In general when testing e4gt against a LG Optimus S, if the signal is 0-2 bars on the e4gt, the Optimus will have faster speeds. If I move to a location where the e4gt displays 3-4 bars, then the speed is about the same. The Optimus usually has about 5dbm better signal than e4gt.
It isn't a horrible situation antenna design, but there is room for improvement.
on sprint 3g in midland texas im pulling 1500-2100kbs down... hardly ever turn 4g on cause its only giving me 3500kbs down
I've never had an issue with Sprint 3G.
I'm in West Virginia where I wouldn't expect to get great network coverage, and I get between 1500-1800 DL and 500-700 UL speeds whenever I check.

Yes motorola does have good radios. But it is a motorola nuff said. Samsung all the way babby.
Im in Dallas, TX and on Stock ROM.
The only issues i have are over crowding or over laoding of the system.
When not a lot of people are on it i get great speeds.
But i hear they are working to fix that..

Good luck. I went through three different phones before someone actually confirmed it was a problem and it should be fixed with ek02, but it isn't.
I am on EL26 and I had a LOS the other day. I know because I have Tasker set to reboot my phone when it happens.
Yea, this whole thing is ridiculous. I am rooted, running LoStKernal v 2.6.35.7, and have the EL13 modem software. I would try the EL26, but am still on G/B version EG30. Also running Tasker, so I know it happens as well, usually every other day in an area with a very strong signal. The only reason I am not overly pissed about the whole situation is due to Tasker rebooting it for me. Most times I don't even know it happens till I go to return a text to someone and see it there. Phone sits on toolbox, not in pocket.

I have had this phone for almost 3 months now. I am on ek02 modem. had my first los 2 days ago, phone was in locker at the gym, 0 bars on 3g, I believe the phone was on 4 g that day and has a good signal on 4 g. well I didn't pay attention to the phone put it on my side and when I got in my car I saw the red l o s circle. now I was driving in the area with good signal, I tried several things to get the phone service to come back. only a reboot fixed it, pure l o s ! no when I leave it in the locker on 3g, I get no l o s. I think my problem is the 4 g sleeps too much. once in 3 months is in bad I can live with that. I love this phone !

Wasting your time with EK02 and you will definitely get hit with LoS, change the modem to the recent EL13, EL26 and/or EL29 and you will be worry free.
Haven't had LOS since EG30.
It burns when I tapatalk...
I got Los on sensation 2.0 i think that's what its at atm. Last night and all morning kinda sucks.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
Ok I'm finally gonna ask. Is the LOS just the signal bars all shaded dark grey or actually a "X" or the do not enter sign? I have never had the LOS which I take it as the "X". I never read a thread about it cuz I never had it, but my colored in 5 bars sometimes is completely greyed out but the signal icon is always there.

Its a circle with a slash through it. Although there is a thing called "ghost" LoS where it still shows you have signal, but text and calls don't go through.

I'm on el26, and had los today, while using the navigation. also, the gps on google map was really off, and i decided to switch to el29. el29 seems to be little bit slower on 3g network down load speed, and much slower on upload speed, compared to el26, but i think it's worth it for the stability of gps signal.
Out of curiosity, are those of you still getting LOS using matching ROM and modem? I find that I have odd signal problems when I mix them. The last LOS I had was on stock EG30 with EG30 modem.
I always keep the modem marching the ROM, and I haven't had one since. I go in and out of roaming all day due to the size of the building I work in, so it had plenty of opportunity to go LOS.

I will admit that mine was mixed, only because I was using LoStKernal which was based on the EG30. I did take the time last night (while my better half was out getting us some daiquries) to flash mine to EL13 across the board. Will try this and see how it goes.
What was wierd about the whole thing, is that I expect to have LOS at home, signal sometimes roams there. But at work in the middle of Baton Rouge with perfect signals showing on phone, that's irratating.
im on Unnamed 2.0.1 and el29 we shall see how it goes
Wow i feel bad yall are experiencing los. I haven't experienced an los since November. I wonder if locations have anything to do with it. I stay out in michigan and other ppl I know with my phone non rooted however have never had the issue at all.

How's the FD26 modem performing for you?

I just downloaded it and wondering what other user experiences are out there.
I am running my tests today.. I will post my results here..

EDIT
Now quickpic and imgur for android aren't cooperating and had to do it slightly different.
So far, speed is slightly better. I didn't pay any attention to signal strength levels. Will have to run for a day or two so I can see how it behaves in different areas near me. I'm running calkulin 2.8.1 and the kernel that came with it. Also have no frills CPU set at 1200 200 ondemand cfq.

That's actually pretty bad for 4G. That download speed is what would be expected of a 'good' 3G connection, in the areas where Sprint has upgraded backhaul.

EDIT: thanks, sfhub. I understand those concepts well enough, I enter just actually never bothered to check what "good" 4G speed should actually be.
Maybe I should look into that, lol.

Things are relative. A modem is not going to make a bad area all of a sudden better. The problem with most Sprint areas which have speed issues is the backhaul is overloaded. So as an analogy, a new wifi driver is not going to suddenly make your DSL WAN connection turn into a FIOS connection. If it doesn't make your connection worse or things are slightly better, than that should be a sign of good things for most people. You want the radio to allow you the full potential that is available *in your area*. The radio isn't going fix endemic problems in your area, you just want it to not make things worse.

That screenshot shows 1.5 mbps...
KB/s not kbps. big difference.
Damn, that was a good run while stopped at a light.

kB/s.
kilobytes not bits.
I just tested FD26 modem after flashing the FD26 kernel in my rom update.. well.. this modem is BY FAR the fastest and most stable yet.. (on my device) in a test spot where I was consistently getting .58 or so MB/s, I am getting .92 or so MB/s. This is a significant increase.

How come i can't update my profile or PRL? Keeps saying error....
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
What I do is reboot to recovery, clear cache and dalvik, flash modem, reboot, update profile then prl then reboot. Sometimes you need to try again on profile/prl. If it doesn't take by the third time then something isn't right. I don't know how to fix that either.
I have been getting pretty good speeds on FD26, however, I started getting frequent LOS today. Was at a music festival earlier, and thought it may be an issue with overloaded towers, but it just LOS'd again at home. I haven't had an LOS issue since pre EL29. Flashed to FB24 a few days ago, then FB26 (nodata) yesterday. Considering doing a full wipe and reflash to see if it cures the issue.

Oops, my bad. I'm used to seeing speeds in bit-terms.
I like it. Smooth overall, i have no major complaints. I have noticed areas where i normally have minimal service, i now have none, and my 3g speeds are terrible. However sprint is also doing some major overhauling, so im going to blame sprint. Ive compared my phone to my wifes stock el29, and i think each user will have a different feel towards things. I love the lockscreens and smoother transitions fd26 has, but i think in my area staying stock is in my best benefit as far as service goes....Looks like if i want my service back i might have to go back to el29. SFHUB, do you think its possible that maybe all the sprint network changes could be the reason for my bad 3g data speeds and poor connections? My wifes phone see's 3g and shows it, maybe 1 or 2 bars, and i show none....however she cant browse online or do anything...just make a phone call....i can do that to....what do u think? I formatted all and did a fresh flash from el29 to fd26 btw....(also im in niles,IL and chicago,IL)
If your wife's e4gt gets signal, then it is probably the modem/kernel in FD26 causing you issues. Also check to see if they are on the same PRL and try update profile.
If that doesn't help, try ##72786# reset from the dialer, you'll need your MSL which you can get using "getprop ril.MSL" in adb shell.

OxygenOS 3.2.4 still has random reboots

Change log says they fixed it, however mine never had random reboots prior to this latest release.
Since this release, if I am using Google Maps, it goes maybe an hour before the phone just reboots itself. Happened 3 times in 4 hours on a ride on Sunday, which is a pain in the ass when you are on a motorcycle up in the Mtns on unfamiliar roads, and so you have to pull over and stop, fish it out of your jacket pocket, take off your gloves so you can use your fingerprint to unlock it, open up Google Maps and restart the navigation...
Anyone else seeing this? Never had it happen until this latest release. I tried wiping the cache... Phone is completely bone stock, never rooted or unlocked, etc...
Rebooting during google maps happened before 3.2.4.
I experienced it, too, but not since installing Cyanogenmod 13. Not sure if I'm just lucky or if the problem is fixed on it.

How is CM13? What features and functions did you have to give up? Anything buggy or not working with it?
To be honest, I have not played with ROMs in like 2 years or so... The stock ones got good enough that I didn't see the need and I don't really need root for anything. But if they truly work better than stock, then I will give it a shot.
I don't need a gazillion options and tweaks. I want simplicity, elegance, stability, speed and battery life... A little off topic I guess, but it's my thread so that's ok if it addresses my problem in my original post, right?

I haven't used CM in years, but I'm loving it. Lots of little features that make the overall experience great.
The camera quality is pretty good, but I think there's still room for improvement.
I don't think I've given up any features, but I gained several. Automatic do not disturb is included, too.
There are other flavors of CM custom roms, but I like what the official version brings.
It's also been quite stable overall. Same or better than oos from what I can tell.

Hmmm... I will look into it, maybe it is time for me to play with ROMs again...
Is there an Android N based ROM yet?
you're not alone. lot of reports of the random restarts. OP doesn't care.

Yeah, seems like a common problem. I think that it has only happened when using Google Maps and listening to music on my wired headphones. Although this morning I plugged my phone in to my PC to copy off a few pics, and about 3 minutes later I want to do something on the phone and it had turned itself off.
I don't have them. never had with this device.
I didn't have them until this latest update.

Same here never had a random reboot
Guys, please don't take offense to what I am about to say... I don't really care about people that don't have the issue. A common problem means that it simply is common, it doesn't mean that everyone or even most people will have it.
Just replying that you don't have the issue, serves absolutely no purpose. Lol
Just had three random reboots. Had reboot before while on maps. This time it was on latest update and doing texting

How much worse is the camera? Is baked in AppOps built in still? I miss that feature.
Random reboots stopped with 3.2.4 for me

Personally, the camera quality feels like flagship level from 2014. It's acceptable but noticeably worse than stock

I'm also having the issue when using Waze or Google Maps navigation, and only when using navigation which may point to this being an issue with the Phone and GPS. I upgraded my phone to 3.2.4 but my phone is still restarting.
