ICS and sleep of death - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hi all, I thought I'd share my experience. Without going into too much background, I had been running an FB21 stock ROM since it was leaked, and only had a few minor issues that didn't keep me from using it as a daily driver. Wanting to flash CM9 Alpha, but not having time to do it made me wait until Alpha 5.
I flashed Alpha 5 and started getting sleep of death issues (phone wouldn't wake and would get very warm). I thought it was CM9, so I switched to AOKP to experience the same thing. Switched over to Paranoid Android and still had the issue. On over to Caulk's 1.6 (loved his GB ROMs) and still Sleep of Death.
Feeling that it may be a non-stock issue, I flashed the stock leak of FF11. No joy. Then, I felt it may be 4.0.4, since that version caused the sleep of death on my Transformer TF101 (which reverted back to 4.0.3 to fix). I tried both Caulk's 1.5, and a stock FD26. Still had sleep of death.
I then thought it may be the modem because the SOD seemed to present itself when signal was low (common in my area). I ran CM9, Alpha 5 with the EL29 modem. Again, no luck.
Finally, I tried running Alpha 5 with the Rogue 1.2.1 rev2 kernel (based off FB21). The phone was immediately quicker in its response, screen comes on almost instantly, and I've yet to experience a sleep of death. I've even gone on a road trip to some no-service areas, which caused SOD without fail. My phone wakes with no hesitation.
I'm not sure if a later kernel will work for those experiencing SOD, but I found something that works for me and well enough to be a daily driver.

Maybe you should try using odin to go back to el29 stock everything you were switching to are leaked builds go back to what you know works first then go from there.

Did that, just left it out of the OP since I didn't want to get too detailed beyond what wasn't working.
One more recent tidbit. Phone is working great now, but the EL29 modem had always caused me a phantom LoS (bars showed, but wouldn't send out calls/texts). Still gave me that issue with the CM9 ROM and FB21 kernel. Flashed the FF11 modem and it seems to be working great.

It might be your hardware.

Anyone else having complete "fail" on latest CM7?

Way back in the 30's I was getting fantastic results with CM7 and tiamets kernel. I recently wanted to go back to it until the Sense 2.1 guys ironed out a few more bugs for me to comfortably daily drive them. I installed n63....had issues 7.0.3.1.... had issues.... n65.... had issues.
By issues I mean random restarts, force closes, 3g won't stick, overall signal for 1x was horrible, no amount of gps fixing would keep my gps locked in or lock better than 20 meters and mms won't work.
I tried stock kernel, tiamets, SZ ect.... clean install, clean wipe, reinstall apps from market vs restore from TB. Tried the mms fix, gps status app, msl reset trick, you name it I have tried it. My phone does not like CM7 right now at all. It's like feeding a baby strained carrots.
I was just curious if anyone else is having similar "no amount of tweaking will fix it" issues. I had to go back to Konis just for some sanity after 3days of this. I know all these Roms that are not based on actual Evo source are experimental but can a guy get some CM love?! lol
I am having pretty much the same issues on my evo. Tried just about the same tweaks to try to rectify them. Right now I'm going to under clock and see if it helps. I noticed a lot more things residing in memory after a restart than usual, including fota kill which is a cm product. All I think I can do now is fire up catlog and see if anything is obvious. I'm no genius so likely I'll just send it in and hope for the best. I was almost sure my hardware was failing, but now not so much.
Haven't had any issues gonna try the latest stable build of cm7 I always use amon 2.3 for a full wipe a lot of the time that fixes issues for people .

Well, n66 after a day on tiamets 4.0.1 kernel seems stable. Let me know how the undervolting goes. I tried vipers v2 and it started freezing after about 20 minutes. The -50 script did the same thing. -25 actually worked out pretty well right up until this morning. My alarm went off and I hit snooze and it threw it into constant reboot.
I'm going to run just n66 with 4.0.1 all day no script and see what I get. I dunno what has changed for my phone but it seems to have leveled out. *knocks on wood*

Are you u using amon 2.3
Cm7 is running great for me. Used nightly 65 for a week with no problems. Flashed 7.0.3.1 2 days ago and it is running like a champ with sz 2.1.0 cfs. Did GPS fix back on nightly 30 something and it has been fine ever since. Maybe you just made your phone mad and its retaliating lol. I do have the receive mms problem though . Tried multiple fixes for it with no luck.
Update* just received an mms with 7.0.3.1 and it worked

Well 66 plays nicely, but I think the mms bug where you can't receive, but using 3.3.7/4.0.1 with bsm v2 and it plays nicely.

Well, I just went back to Koni's..............again. I was running 66 all morning with 4.0.1 and no script and while everything was working ok the battery was draining somewhat fast. It wasn't a wake issue and I even tested an hour or so on PRI177 with the same results. The battery was tolerable because Mondays are really busy for me so I know on a normal day I wouldn't complain but my data connection still drops to 1x a lot and I think the drain might have something to do with the connection searching constantly.
If I can get that Viper script moving along and figure out the data and signal drop I think I am getting somewhere.
@reaper, yes I am using Amon Ra latest and greatest.
Off topic, I love the Nand backup option. My Vibrant only uses Clockwork and even then it was not fully functional. Some of the basic options would brick the phone.
The latest cm7 stable works great.

flashing back to sense after "GPS FIX"
I have a few issues with CM7 and I keep switching back to Sense roms because they have been stable. If I do the GPS fix and stay on CM7 will my GPS still work when and if I go back to a Sense ROM?

[Q] FB17 or FB21

which one is better? FB17 or FB21? i haven't had time to test fb21. if anyone has tested both. give me some info lol. thanks
I really don't see a large difference between them, however, when I installed the stock fb21 I got a couple launcher fc's that I didn't get on Fb17, but running TNZ's Blend ICS I haven't had any FC's at all and is running pretty smooth for a test build
They're basically the same. Pick your poison.
Is scrolling wallpaper back in ics ?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
From what i hear the FB21 is alot worse than the FB17, but personally i am just sticking out with FB17 until the official release is out (for now).
I don't notice a difference between the two builds. Definitely stable enough for a daily driver in my opinion.
One issue I'd consider major is GPS though. After locking GPS and turning it off, it still says GPS locked in the drop down menu and murders the battery. A reboot shuts it up.
Definitely something to keep in mind.
I tested them both. I had more issues with 17 than I did with 21. Quarky things like BT bugs where i could connect to some devices and not others. Also, I could not get a lock on GPS with 17 and I could with 21. Both of these issues are hit or miss. It appears some users had the issues, and others reported that they did not experience it, or experienced it exactly opposite (21 to 17) of what I experienced. It could be a matter of the order in which you flash the modem and ROM or other factors during install.
Other than that, the only other noticeable difference between the two was that in FB21, a double tap on the home button launched VLINGO.
In either case, I am going to Calks 2.9.1 until we get a stable ICS ROM with recovery. Now that FB24 is posted, I expect that it may take some time. I have to take a break though...I think I sprained my flashing thumb.
thanks all. im just sticking with FB17 for now then
I Think they both are bad the 3g is so slow I have like .20 MBPS down and .13 up

gps help

im not sure whats going on with my phones GPS, i can never get it working. i've flashed to/from AOKP, CM9, Stock ICS Leaks, and back to EL29. Even back at EL29 I get a lock initially the first time I run GPS Test, the next day however it never locks. Ive tried to update AGPS within GPS Test and also ##GPSCLRX# to no avail. I've also flashed stock using the EFS Clear option on Odin as suggested in another thread. I still can never get a lock. I know its a problem with my phone, because I've ran GPS on my dad's E4GT side by side with mine, he get 8 satellites and locks instantly.
Any suggestions?
On my last replacement epic touch, GPS was great on gingerbread. Then I put ICS and GPS worked for a day. Then I put back EL29 and GPS only locked after 10 minutes. 40 meter range max. ICS killed my GPS and I got it replaced again. This time my phone works well with ICS

It's known that EL29 GPS dies after the phone sleeps for a while. There is a fix though:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466561
It won't make your GPS perform better, it will only prevent it from not functioning after sleeping. I would suggest trying all modems. FE10 has been spectacular for me, but it may not be that great for you. I would stick to gingerbread and keep trying different modems until you find one that works well. Don't be afraid to try older modems such as EG30.

Do JB roms heat up the phone?

I tried several JB roms - CM10, a couple of leaks. The all heated up the phone (where the cpu is - at the bottom back of the phone) when simply swiping from screen to screen on the desktop. ICS roms don't do that.
Is that normal or is it a bug? Is it because Project Butter uses more cpu to make things smoother?
I haven't experienced any heat issues with CM10 or any variants of it.
However I have experienced a heat issue with the JB TW leaks yes...but they are just that...leaks.
On a further note, I don't recall having a heat issue with the T-Mobile leak, but that was a month or so ago since I have tried it.

On the LIH leak that I am using I've noticed that for about 10 minutes after installing the rom the phone ran real hot, seems like there was alot of housekeeping the phone does on initial boot up. It did calm down after that.

No, my issues were with swiping home screens for a few minutes.
Another huge issue, which prompted me to restore an lg8 rom, was using the phone at work with remote control and 12121 prl.
I have poor cellular signal at work, so I would normally run 00001 prl to connect to verizon towers or use 12121 prl and use roam control "roam only" to connect to us cellular towers.
The LIH leak had strange behavior with the latter - it would constantly access internet and heat up the phone. It would also drain the battery really quickly.
It would only do that with the combination LIH + 12121 + roam only.
Of course, no ICS rom would do that.
Have you seen anything similar?

I only tried cm10 a month or so ago. Perhaps the newest nightlies don't do that.
What also bothered me in CM10 is how it felt hardware unaccelerated in the browser when scrolling and zooming. It was kind of smooth, but not as smooth as the samsung software.
Which version of CM10 would you recommend for bug-free operation as a daily driver? It's important that voice dialing with a bluetooth car kit is working, which was also very buggy with that older cm10 version.

[Q] Wifi Dropping on AOSP/CM ROMs

I've done loads of searching here, heard about the *#0011# and switching Power Saving mode off, which doesn't apply to AOSP/CM based ROMs, and tons of beating my head against the wall for the past few weeks. I have "keep WiFi awake when screen off" set to "Always." I tried setting my frequency to both 2.4ghz and 5ghz only with no luck. I have tried the stock CM kernel, ktoonsez's Kernel, Lean Kernel with none of them changing anything. I have tried an array of ROMs, including CM10 stable, CM10 nightlies, Task's AOKP, Slim, LiquidSmooth, ... the list goes on.
Long story short: my WiFi will occasionally drop connection to the network and not come back up until I turn off and turn on the WiFi again. If it drops and I go into the list of signals I get, it seems to pick up the network and have decent strength, but it will not reconnect and just says "Saved" underneath the record. How long it takes before it drops ranges anywhere from a few hours to a few seconds. It does seem to happen more often than not with low signals to the router, but I've been in the same room as a router with full bars and it will still happen. I've tried different routers, different router configurations, and different networks entirely, same deal. It does not affect my cell data, just my WiFi.
I am currently trying a stock ROM to see if it happens on stock, and so far it has not occurred. I have done full wipes of all data and clean installing a new ROM, I have tried installing stock and then dirty installing to a new ROM. Nothing seems to solve the problem. I ran a logcat when the problem occurred (lost the log, sorry) and the entry from wpa_supplicant was "AP scan failed". I am at my wits end here. Has anyone had the same problem and found a solution? None of the solutions I've found so far have seemed to work.
Edit:
Stock ROM seemed to have stable WiFi.
Completely formatted phone back to virgin stock, rerooted, installed CWM instead of TWRP (really don't think this would have a difference), factory reset, wiped data, wiped system AGAIN, wiped cache, wiped davlik, installed Task650's AOKP. WiFi seems stable again. Maybe his kernel? Maybe something during wipe? Maybe CWM vs TWRP (unlikely)? I'm unsure if the problem is even solved, honestly, but so far it seems stable. Will keep this updated. I'm going to start installing apps (not from Titanium backup this time) one at a time...

I've had the same issue with all AOSP based roms. There seems to be an issue with cm 10 which is the base for all AOSP and aokp roms. The touch wiz roms I've tried have no issues and you can go into settings and disable wifi sleep with them.

That's a shame, but I suppose at least I'm not an isolated case. I didn't figure I was considering I could find other people posting about it, but all the posts seem old and never got much attention. So far task650's AOKP seems fairly stable. I haven't had it drop out on me at home yet, though the WiFi does seem to have difficulty coming up after a boot. I suppose worst case scenario I could switch to a TW ROM, but I really like the AOSP experience better :\ (minus TW's camera)

In addition to having wifi issues I found all the AOSP/AOKP based roms to have screen wake issues. The camera on non touch wiz based roms is also considerably slower. For now I'm sticking with the stock virgin rom - rooted with toggle mod installed. Wifi on the AOSP/AOKP based roms seems to disable when I go to bed. Then I have disable and enable for it to reconnect. I've tried 10+ roms still haven't found that was stable with the features I want. The only I didn't try was flashing a new kernel. Maybe that will solve both the wifi and screen wake issues. I would rather the rom be stable than have tons of features and being buggy.

If you are interested in running an AOSP/AOKP ROM still, give Task650's AOKP a try. After a fresh wipe, to virgin stock, to rooted stock, wipe, and then to his ROM, it seems stable. I haven't had a WiFi drop for about 24 hrs, and it seems stable. I did have some WiFi problems on the first boot or two (WiFi wouldn't be on at boot and a tad stubborn to come on, stable after it came on), but that seems to have solved itself now... I say seem though, because like I said in my OP it can sometimes take hours to drop WiFi. He does use a kernel that isn't the CM10 kernel, so maybe that has something to do with it?
I'm loading my apps back on in waves to try and see if maybe it's an app. So far it's still stable.. I'm about to start downloading all my Spotify playlists which it typically would **** out on, so we'll see. If it starts again I'll be going back to stock.

I did give that rom a try. I had the same wifi issue when I went to bed. It also happens after the phone is rebooted. In addition I was getting the screen wake issue. Task's rom is still based on cm 10 so will have the same bugs. Maybe changing the kernel to task's own kernel or the other AOSP kernel. I'll give a try one of these days. Let me know how that works out for you.
Do you guys having this problem have "Avoid poor connections" checked in the Wifi advanced settings? I don't remember if CM10 has this, but AOKP does. I expected that this setting would cause the phone to switch to a better AP if the signal was low but it seems like it just stops Wifi data completely. After disabling this setting I haven't had any issues.
I've been running CM10 nightlies with the CM10 kernel since late November and haven't had any issues with WiFi. I am on my 2nd GS3, first one returned due to phone speaker (not the speakerphone on the back) and on that one my WiFi was sketchy. Not sure if it was a hardware problem, or CM10 merged a fix close to when I swapped out devices. Either way, I use the latest twrp recovery flashed from GooManager and Formula84 10/12 Gapps. I update daily with the CM Updater, and haven't had any issues other than what is already reported to be a bug on CM (which in all reality is, nothing, since I NEVER use Bluetooth)

Avoid poor connections is always unchecked for me. I also make sure wifi is set to never sleep.

I'm using the linksys e4200v2 router. Never had any issues with any of my devices except after I flash AOSP/AOKP based roms. I have 8 devices connected wirelessly with no issues.
My router at home is a Netgear. Not sure about work. The weird part for me is that I didn't use to have these problems with AOSP ROMs, not that I remember anyways. It seems like a recent development in the past few weeks.
Still having decent luck with task650's ROM. It did happen to me once last night at home but it's been stable as a rock otherwise. If it starts happening more I'm gonna flash stock. If it continues to happen from there I'll consider it a hardware defect and go ***** to AT&T.

I just tried two roms (liquid smooth and tasks aokp). Had wifi issues with both of them after reboot. I decided to try two custom kernels (underwear and ktoonsez). Still experienced wifi saying not in range. The issue seems to be with the latest cm base which is used in all AOSP and AOKP roms. I hope this issue is fixed with the new cm 10.1 base. I guess I'll be stuck using only touch wiz roms now.
Found a great app that solves the wifi issue. It's called smart wifi toggler. Wifi reconnects after reboot now and remains connected when I go to sleep.

It sounds like something is going wrong when you flashed the ROM. Task's AOKP isn't CM based (he cherry-picks from it, but builds from source), and I've never had a Wi-Fi issue with it.

Found a great app that solves the wifi issue. It's called smart wifi toggler. Wifi reconnects after reboot now and remains connected when I go to sleep.

Thanks for the heads up! I still have been having good luck with task650's ROM, but I will try this out on other ROMs!

I've been having good luck as well with tasks, but I don't know what could be going wrong when flashing a CM based ROM that is so consistent, unless it's either a hardware issue or something in their code base.

No prob. I'm finally able to enjoy tasks aokp now that I got the wifi issue solved with using smart wifi toggler. It's a great rom, with tons of features and customizations.
