How to tune-up Calkulin's E4GT 2 ICS rom - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I am not "allowed" to post this information on Calkulin's E4GT 2 page, because I have not been here long enough. I am however a daily driver of Calkulin's E4GT 2 rom and have made some helpful observations. I will try to post one per day on this page. Hopefully after about 10days of posting, the powers that be will give me access to Calkulin's page where this actually should be posted.
Jtags helpful tune-up tips for Calkulin's E4GT 2 ICS ROM Day 1
Is the Crackle free movie app not working for you? Install Calkulin's Stock Android Hosts from zip in CWM and it should fix it.
Getting that annoying silent notification bug? Restart your phone everyday... it won't stop it but it will decrease the number of dropped notifications. Don't believe me... well try it yourself. Text yourself from someone else's phone when you are getting the silent notification bug. Then restart you phone and see if it fixes the bug. It works for me. Tell me if if works for you. If it works for everyone, I may write a script to restart the appropriate services after use which may fix the problem all together.
Well that is all for today. I hope this helps.

I thought the notification bug was based off of hitting home or back after a phone call before the phone app quits itself, and not a random occurrence?

Although there is a relationship between the dialer and notifications stopping it does also occur randomly.

Notification Bug
The notification bug in my experience is triggered by hitting the back button before a call has fully ended, silencing an incoming call, silencing any notification, or exiting the SMS messenger by using the taskmon.
Restarting the phone is one way of fixing the problem. There are a group of services that you can restart, but it is easier to restart the phone. I am working on a script to restart the services after use, but I am running into another bug. When I have the script running the notifications enter an infinite. The only way I have been able to stop it is to remove the battery and uninstall. I am still working on it, but obviously not ready for prime-time.
Unfortunately, samsung may have beat me to the punch. I have a source that tells me that FD10 no longer has the bug. Hopefully it will leak... I mean be released officially soon.

Notification Bug
Recently my wife's E4GT has been getting the notification bug... it even goes one step further and affects the alarm clock. Her phone is stock el29, never been rooted. Weird.

I just do the following. Make a phone call, hang up RIGHT AWAY (1 second after calling), wait for the screen to go away (the screen that says "message" and "call" at the bottom). Once that screen goes away, the notification bug is gone and you can press whetever keys you like.

Any fix on the random reboots?

[Q] EI22 Constant Beeping?

I'm on EI22, stock ROM with mkasic's keyfix kernel.
This morning I woke up and headed to the room where my phone is...to hear constant repeating beeping. It was like 6 very fast beeps, nothing for a second, then 6 more beeps. Over and over again. I had my volume on the lowest notch, so luckily it didn't wake up the whole house! I believe it has most likely been beeping for hours.
I found a thread with a similar report on the i9000 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052796 and another thread on the captivate. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this since the GB update, or even before that. We've got 2 epics in the house and I've never run across it before so I'm thinking it was introduced to our phone in EI22.
As soon as I powered on the screen and pulled down the notification bar it stopped.
I have been able to replicate it by leaving unread e-mails in my notification bar, powering off and back on. Basically as soon as it boots and the media scanner starts running the beeping starts. It will continue forever until I unlock the screen and pull down notifications.
Figured it out - had no notification sound set, so apparently it defaults to constant repetitive beeping...lol
Once I set a notification sound all was well.

It's called LOS. There are hundreds of posts about this. Some phones have it some don't. Depends on the phone, the rom, and a number of other things that Devs are trying to figure out. I'm running strongsteve's odexed rom and haven't had any Los. Previously I was getting it quite frequently.

[Q] Notification tones stop daily

I read a little in a post with something similar, but daily I find my notification sounds (txt, gtalk, etc.) all just stop, said something about leaks, but it was late and I may have been dreaming :-?
So, I have tried numerous ROM's, currently running Venum Ice RC3.1.1, but had the same issue with other ICS rom's. I will look down and see a bunch of missed txt's, etc. Reboot the phone, all tone's come right back.
Is this a known issue (I am sure it is), but better question, is there a workaround for this?
Tnx
its a bug in the ics leaks.
known issue, no fix yet
I seem to remember problem arises after call if hit home or back lose notification. Need to let call screen revert to dialer then can hit home and not lose notifications. If you lose just make a call and do the above and will have notications again.

+1 this is currently the only known work around.
Iphone Notification, WP7 Notification apps from Play store used to fix this also. Not sure if either one still works or not though.

[Q] Annoying BUGS

Sprint Version, OTA update on launch day.
Bug 1: Continually goes into "Car Mode". I'm not sure if it is somehow related to the holster I'm using or what, but I pull my phone out at least 20-30 times a day and it's in car mode. It becomes super annoying when you answer a call and it immediately goes to speaker phone. I tried "force stopping" this app, but that didn't work. Next step is to freeze it, but come on...I shouldn't have to do that. Weirdest bug I've ever seen. Anyone have insight about some auto-Car mode or pushing certain buttons turns it on automatically??? Weird.
Bug 2: When typing in the texting app (only place I've observed it). I'll get a few words in, then randomly, the cursor goes back to the beginning. It's been happening pretty consistently and I even noticed it on the demo model at the Sprint store (thought I had hit an arrow or something). This happens ~3-5 times per day and annoys the hell out of me.
Other than these, this phone is a BEAST. Super fast and beautiful screen. I'm missing CM10 and will definitely root/flash when the bootloader is cracked.
Anyone else notice bugs similar to these?

Those are ROM bugs. I think they will be fixed after JB 4.1.1 update in December

For the curser thing. Try Swiftkey. You'll absolutely love it, plus it fixes the keyboard curser issue
Thanks for the replies...
Bug 1: This is due to the magnet in the flap of my holster. I'm not a holster guy at all, but at work it's a must since I wear scrubs all day. I can reproduce the Car Mode by placing the phone close to the flap magnet. Makes me think they're going to have Car Mount accessories that will have a magnet and automatically turn Car Mode on when mounted. Also makes me think I need a different holster because my phone thinks it's in the care and I can't shut the damn Car Mode off (yet). Sigh.
Bug 2: It's not the keyboard. I know and like swiftkey, but like the stock android keyboard even more. I installed the AOSP 4.2 Keyboard 10 minutes after getting the phone. The bug lies in the Messaging app. I'm now running GO SMS without any issues....buuuuuttttt....I shouldn't need to do that to sidestep an annoyance in such a critical and basic app. Who the hell is testing these things and lets them out the door with even the slightest flaw in either the phone or SMS apps???
I'm missing my AOSP more and more. I love the phone and the hardware is quite impressive, but if this device doesn't get cracked and CM10 or 10.1 soon, I'll be swapping it out.
the only bug I've seen on this phone so far is that sometimes spell check does not work in the messaging app and then sometimes it does. (Spell check as in when it underlines an incorrectly spelled word in red)
I have noticed the bug #2 as well within the messaging app. Pretty annoying.

Ditto on the keyboard bug. Doesn't happen often enough to me to make me wanna change phones though...
I'm with you guys on the keyboard bug...as crazy as it sounds, I'm playing with the idea that this has to do with tilting gestures...I'm having a little success repeating the bug this way. I'll repost if I confirm this.

Dont have the keyboarding issue.
But i do occasionally have the Car Mode. bug I need this 4.1.1 update asap
Any fixes for Bug 2? My boyfriend & I got the same phone at the same time, and mine does this, his doesn't. I also think it has something to do with the tilt sensor. I'd appreciate any input if someone knows the cause. Thanks!
For 2, I use another messaging app and swift key flow and it doesn't do it anymore. Go SMS or the jelly bean app

I can confirm bug 2 when using SwiftKey 3 on the stock messaging app and especially when typing comments in websites.
the texting bugg has completely gotten annoying for me.. Cant type a full message without the arrow going back to the first word.

Use a different keyboard.
I use Swype but Swiftkey should work too. It is not the messaging app or the Rom.

The software definitely has bugs. But the only only one I can do without is this damn SMS bug.

I too believe it's the keyboard and the placement of it's keys. Using 4.2 keyboard and no problems. Just a taste of some AOSP to come. Hopefully (crossing fingers)
Has there been any official word when we are supposed to receive the update? I know it rolled out in Korea last month.

Anyone ever notice that the responsiveness of the touchscreen sometimes goes away? It will get sluggish and just plain unresponsive?
Happened to me this morning as I was scrolling through FB. Restarted the phone and it was fine.

Will try the Swiftkey because the swipe is not accurate in the stock ROM either, LG QC must be asleep because i noticed these the first day!!
Love the hardware too much but if the update does not come in 14 Days I will downgrade to the GIII.

Updating profile causes emergency call...?

I went to update my PRL and profile this morning after restoring a nandroid after messing up some settings in the phone yesterday, and when I went to update my profile, it updated then gave an emergency call screen?
I know some folks in the FK09 thread have had this issue, but I haven't flashed anything FK09 or FJ10 related on my phone. Anyone know how to fix this?
Didn't you hear, that is the new DHS anti hack software that alerts them of a hack attempt. Its part of the new cyber security bill currently being run thru congress.
And oh Im just messing with ya.

I am currently running EL26 Android 2.3.6 after running FK09 for a bit. I see the same thing. I feel like there is a part of the device that we cannot access. There is no reason that this message should be showing up on android 2.3.6 EL26.
really weird !
It's not a problem its just Sprint making changes on how there network works. Guess you guys missed the Network Vision upgrade they're doing. Things are bound to change. You can OC back to EK30 and It'll still happen. My Evo3D does the same now too.

Ya i saw this a couple days ago! The second Profile update ends it pops up and shuts phone down. Check out the blu kuban thread in general I have a screen shot. It pisses me off! I quickly found a work around from rebooting. I put the samsung task manager on home page. So when this pops up, hit home. Then clear memory, and phone wont reboot. Works like a champ.
Same thing happened on my phone. A emergency countdown appeared on screen. When I clicked the back button, it started to dial 911. Any idea how I can update my profile without dialing 911?

The countdown is until reboot. If you need to make an emergency call, hit the button... Otherwise just reboot and it will be fine.
