Phone doesn't ring after going into sleep mode. - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I have Android 4.0.4 FF02 from this thread.
For the first couple of days the phone has worked great. Now day I am noticing that when the phone does into 'sleep-mode' it does not ring when someone calls me. If I use my house phone to make a test call it will just ring on my home handset but the E4GT will not ring. But if I press the power button it will 'awake' the phone and start ringing..
Any help is MUCH appreciated.

Use the No Data version and see if that helps.

I loaded that version and than my wifi tether app stop working.
Would it make more sense just to return to Gingerbread??

Which tethering app are you using? Did you try ClockworkMod Tether?

I tried that version he posted above. When I loaded that version I loaded WIFI Tether for root users. I went through and set up the settings as I normally do (when it works). And this time it just didn't work...
So since then I returned to 4.0.4 FF02 so I can use hotspot but the phone still doesn't ring from time to time when people call. I just dunno what to do at this point..

[Q] Wi-Fi Goes to sleep. Policy: Never. Any way to fix it?

*Edit* Wi-Fi sleep policy is set to never.
It seems like the Wi-Fi goes to "sleep" on the DHD. I installed VLC Remote a little while ago, and after 1-2 minutes the controller will not work. I had to quit the app and reconnect for it to work.
I did a test by pinging the DHD from my computer while the VLC Remote was active, turned off the screen several times. It worked perfect!
I then stopped the pinging and after 1-2 minutes the VLC Remote stopped responding. I pressed the pause button several times, nothing happened.
Then I started the ping back up (the VLC Remote was still open) and after a 2-3 "Request canceled" (no ping reply back from the phone) it got a response from the ping and the VLC Remote worked again.
Is there any way to make the Wi-Fi not go to "sleep"? It's annoying me to stop/start the remote every time I want to pause the movie.
I tried turning Best Wi-Fi performance on, but that didn't help
Thanks!
select the wifi settings, then press the menu button and select advanced, change the wifi sleep policy to never and your laughing

Thanks for the reply fkofilee. It's already set to "never". Updated the original post and title with it.
I restarted the phone and did some more testing.
As long as the screen is on there are no problems (VLC Remote responds), but when I hit the on/off button on the top of the phone to turn the screen off and turn the screen back on after a couple of minutes, VLC Remote will not respond. I have to ping the phone for VLC Remote to respond again.
Any suggestions?
same here, have to disconnect/connect to wifi to get it going again. Really frustrating when my exchangesync fails. Work as a IT-administrator and have to get serverfails reported as soon as possible.

I also have this issue its so annoying. I could be connected to wifi and have bars and then go to download something from the market it will pause and when I go into network setting its says wifi is authenticating but it doesnt change so I have to turn off and back on to get it working again. I had a Iphone 3gs and never had wifi issues like this.

I don't think we have the same problem. Downloading seems fine. When I ping it (while running VLC Remote), it works fine. I can shut the screen off, turn it back on 10 min later and it works fine. It seems like it goes into a type of "sleep mode" when there is no active traffic to/from the phone.
I sent an e-mail to HTC about this problem. I'll keep you guys updated.
Dont know if you do or are into mods but if you root your phone and flash clockwork mod you could try and push a new wifi module using root explorer...or even flash a custom rom...Pretty sure this would fix it..
Depends how much you know about this stuff though..
I can help you through it if you want to...some people dont want to though and I cant blame them...

Thanks rixsta! I'm gonna do a custom ROM, but I'm gonna wait until Gingerbread is released and custom ROMs have been made for that.
Are you up for testing if this is a problem on your ROM? If so, is this fixed with a new wifi module?
*Edit* With LeeDroid 1.2 and Buzz 1,22Ghz v1.0.2 it fixed the problem! I also sent a mail to HTC and they have forwarded it to the programmers.

I'm using leedroid's Rom so can't test and I've just got it working great..but...why don't you just root with visionary and pay £2.50 for root explorer and move a new WiFi module...that's all you need..
Up to you really..you could use Apache oc kernel...you will need to s off with this method and buy setcpu from the market...if your going to be doing custom roms in the future then you will need to do this anyways...if you need help let me know...I can tell you where to get the WiFi file from...

I have the same problem too, but it only happens with the mail application and the market, while the browser and XDA app works without having to reconnect the wireless connection.

My friend has the same problem and I don't want to install a custom ROM on her phone.
Any news regarding this issue?

Installed Synd.ROM Frozen(malanga) WiFi Tether is not working and crashes that phone?

Installed Syndicate ROM Frozen (Malanga) Full version, and when i turn on the WiFi tether(3.0 pre11) that comes with the ROM, it turns on automatically the Sprint Hotspot, then the phone crashes turns off and thenb back on, by itself
I get both App. running at the same, what do i have to do, to run the wifi tether only????????
thanks
In wifi tether go to settings and the first option is device profile. Make sure you have the right one selected. And yes, wifi tether does turn on the sprint hot spot app. That's how it works in infrastructure mode.

Downloded Bonsai v4.0.0, why cant i use the 4g with wifi tether, phone crashes??

It's a known issue with wifi tether pre10 and pre11. Try clearing the app data and see if that helps.
You can also spend some time here.

The guys that make the. Wifi software do very well. However, they have no control over any other mods you have done. So just keep trying to make it work. Alternatively, you can pay Sprint $30 a month and have it work fine all the time.

Barnacle Wifi Tether not working on GB?

I was rooted and running Barnacle just fine in Froyo, then upgraded to GB. Now it does not seem to be working. Im rooted in GB still (just be a different program) and it shows Barnacle has root access.
It goes and says NAT is unavail, restarting NAT.. and nothing after that.
Heres a screen shot of what its saying:
Guess this is a common error with GB
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...e-any-roms-dont-have-wifi-tether-blocked.html
Seems like GB has a built in wifi/hot spot thats taking over control of the avail network.
So far i havnt come across a fix
Also tried Open Garden to no avail
----------------------------------
EDIT: Update in post #7
Anyone find anything for a work around?
Im thinking about going back to Froyo
Anyone get wifi tether working?

Can you link me to what you used?
And are you on the stock ROM, just rooted?
GOT IT WORKING!
I followed these instructions after installing the wifi-tether beta 6
coopmatt80 said:
OK, got it to work.
I used the latest android-wifi-tether (beta 6). In the settings go to "Device Profile" and change it to Motorola Droid X, then connect. After you connect toggle the Pro into airplane mode and toggle it off again. You should be able to surf and will not get the "Verizon" pay wall. I know its one added step, but it's a whole lot easier and cheaper then paying $20+ more a month...

a bit late, but anyway in my droid pro stock rom there is a stock application named 3G Mobile Hotspot. it is exactly for tethering.

Yes you are correct. But with Verizon you have to pay an additional, I believe, $20 a month for the built in feature.
If you're rooted there are apps put there where you can do it for free at your own risk.
I did find a solution to the problem a week or two ago. But last Friday I upgraded to the Razr. And will have to find a work around for that phone haha.

[Q] GS3 TMO: CM10 JB ROM + wifi calling?

Hey guys, i have a few questions
i have a tmobile gs3 and am passionately waiting for the JB OTA update. Untill then however, i would love to use CM10 JB ROM. THe only problem is that it doesnt have the tmobile wifi "built-in" app for that. So does anyone know a way for that to happen? (PM me if you know a way).
Also, currently im am using ICS and it seems like i need at least one bar of cellular coverage for wifi to work. If i am not registering a cellular network, my wifi will not work. I noticed this pretty recently and was wondering if it is like that normally. Are there apps or fixes that can allow you to use wifi if you are not registering cellular network at all (kinda like an airplane mode)?
Thanks alot
I will donate to developers if they can help me out
Don't want to be one of those people, but there are a lot of threads on it. But, pretty much, unless it has changed recently, there isn't a wifi-calling for any CM stuff yet and not sure if there will be. Some people were working on a project. There are other roms out there that do have working wifi calling though, might want to take a look at those.
Also, you don't need cell signal for the wifi calling to work.

What do u mean a WiFi built in app? Also have u tried any new radios for cell coverage? And WiFi does not need any cellular service at all

thanks for quick reply guys.
i have had cm10 jb on my gs3 and then i decided that i needed tmobile wifi calling. so once i downloaded stock ics from samsung and installed it, my wifi calling only works when i am registering the cellular network. If i dont have any bars (and wifi is connected) it won't call at all. wjat could be the fix for this?

Well if u flashed the stock ROM with Odin like u said let it boot up then go into stock recovery or if u have a custom recovery wipe data and caches. To get in it is the same way either way. Vol up, home, and power at same time
I just moved to CM10 a few minutes ago and personally, I don't know how I would ever go back to anything less than this. Why worry about WiFi calling when there are plenty of VoIP alternatives that use Google Voice?

can i somehow set it up so that when my tmobile number is unavailable, it redirects it to google voice? But only when my number is unavailable (as in i wouldn't want to set the redirect every time i am planning to go off service). The thing is that i go to school and i see patients all day long, and in some places i have reception and in some i dont. its very irregular and unpredictable. so if i could set it up in the way that "if unavailable, redirect to google voice" type of thing, i would be a happy camper.
Oh and also, even my google voice does not work if i am not registering a cellular network just a bit. (help with this too?)
thanks guys

im not sure what i did, but i know that i did not specifically erase any data. it just seems that wifi calling is an integral part of the firmware that any "random" data on the phone should no phase it. hmm...
Can someone confirm that CM10 JB has a option in the Phone App menu to forward a call when unreachable? I donw want to go thru the hassle of installing it if it doesnt have that option.
thanks alot guys

I'll look into this further and see what I can uncover for you. I use GrooveIP for my VoIP needs and it was a godsend when I was on the $30 plan with T-Mobile. Hopefully I can find something that will suit your needs in the process.

There should be a setting for phone forwarding just like any other OS/phone. Just change it to your GV number and should be GTG.
