Slow switching to 3G once I'm off WiFi - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

So it may take a couple of minutes for the phone to go from wifi to 3G once I turn off WiFi on the phone. I'm on FF18 modem. Anybody's got any suggestions? Maybe a modem I should try?

Well from my experience I used to have the same problem u are having now and the only solution that fix it for me was going back to el29 rooted .. flash a el26 kernel with cwm .... use calkulin format all , do it 3 times then flash the rom u want ... good luck ...

It seems like it is a random thing. Mine does it then doesnt, it happens more from 4g to 3g. It may take 5 to 7 minutes to reconnect.

The Boost FG31 modem has been really good to me so far.

Mod, please move to q&a or whatever, Think i fixed my los

Okay, do a ##3282#, enter msl, go to advanced, uncheck evrc-b. That system is not fully functional yet. So far no more LOS.

Thanks havent tried it yet but I havent had any LOS since I flashed back stock with root through CWM.
Speech codec has nothing to do with LOS
Well, its been great for me so far.

Im still on zedo v4.1, had 2 los this morning which is what prompted me to try
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
Not that it matters to you, but what you changed has nothing at all to do with LOS. NOTHING. AT ALL.
On the other hand, I peed today, and then it rained. So my peeing makes it rain.
FWIW I havent had LOS in 2 days, I'm on Zedo 4.1 beta, and I've been on Zedo the whole time, So it's not anything I did, it's just the network IMO

You're thinking of two different things. EVDO Rev B is not active yet, EVRC-B is a speech codec for voice and has nothing to do with LOS.

I turned my phone completely off today and during that time, I had not one LOS. But I still wasn't able to make or receive any phone calls though. I will keep working on it and keep you guys posted. Battery life was great though.

Turned off EVRC-B and just now, ~5 hours after flipping the switch, I experienced a LOS. A quick reboot got the service back. So ya, turning EVRC-B off doesn't solve a thing.
I heard if you go to settings and change your meid to "1337" you won't get LOS!

No signal or data

Just got a epic touch off of eBay. When I got the phone it had a few bars but never showed any data status. Now all I get is the circle with a slash through it. Any help would be appreciated

He needs to update his profile - this isn't "LOS".

i see this is your first post..welcome to the boards...
but do a search before posting. there are at LEAST 5-10 active threads about this already that you would have found by just looking in the general or q&a session!
but yes anytime it happens just reboot the phone
I don't think this is LOS. I cant get the phone activated because it will not aquire a signal. I have rebooted pulled battery and flashed the samsung stock recovery through odin.
Call CS and have them update over the air

So that will give me a signal again. I don't understand

I would try flashing the modem again.
Check esn and see if it clean. Is the phone still active on the account.

The esn is clean I checked it several times. Where can I find the modem file so I can flash. It has been 3 days still no signal. Sprint won't help because its not active do no insurance.

The modem files, if you want them, are in the development thread. There's a few. You'll probably want the newer EG31 modem that is now up.

Just loaded the modem files through odin. Still no signal at all. When I go into phone info under prl it shows default. Could this be my problem. Should I send it in to Samsung for warranty replacement even though I'm not the original purchaser

It's probably not your problem, more likely it is a symptom of your problem. Under some situations when you don't have signal, the PRL says default until you get signal.
Did you contact the seller on ebay? I sure would.
The op is a little unclear... have you flashed the stock .tar file from here?
I would do a complete flash using the .pit file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351761
I thought about contacting the seller but I don't know who is at fault. When i first received the phone it had a signal. It started the over the air activation but never activated. Started the manual programming then got the no signal status. I don't want to blame the seller cause I like to do good business. He may say it had service till u tried to activate it. I will try to flash the stock files and select re partition option too.

there are also instructions somewhere around here how to clear out all user data and start the provisioning process over again. i know i saw them recently but am not sure which thread its in.
So, you can't get into Odin Mode, flash the full stock EG30 ROM by Crawrj and start completely fresh?

Yes I can get into odin mode.

stock FD24 GPS, fyi

just incase anyone else experiences this...
after installing FD24 (stock for me) i let my phone sit for 20 mins with GPS on and searching using GPS Status and it didnt even find one sattelite. So i left GPS on and rebooted. after reboot i got a lock within 5 seconds
Yeah not going to ICS until GPS is fully polished. Put ICS on two previous E4GT's and it borked out after a week. On EL29 and locks every time. So until this issue is resolved, no ICS for me

The GPS is as polished as she's going to get with these ICS modems, fellas. Mine has never worked before these ICS builds and it works like a charm now.
Mine has worked great on the ICS builds. At least the last few
yea i figured i'd make mention of this only bcuz i have read others who had problems on ics and methods of fixing was flash back to el29 and get a lock then reflash ics. but what just a reboot with it on, worked for me.
on me it work fine but issues with speeds on 3g so I went back to gingerbread
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
My gps never worked for crap, until I updated the modem to FC18 (and beyond), now I get an a-gps lock in half a second, and a true gps lock in 2. ICS gps works great.

GPS on last few ICS builds are pretty solid, it locks within 30 - 45 seconds that's not bad

Wifi not working on certain applications

I've had a problem when on wifi certain apps won't work, YouTube, sometimes when downloading from Google play. I'm rooted and this happens on custom roms. Any advice or should I just unroot and try again. Thanks
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
Might be your rom. I haven't ever had this problem. Are you on your wifi at work? Maybe those sites are blocked by them. What rom and all that are you on

Well I can't remember the other rom but I'm on the cm10 right now. Only connected to wifi at home. Was thinking about redoing everything and see if that clears it up. Thanks for the help though never thought about certain things being blocked

Slow wifi

Any Rom I use my wifi never exceeds 200kbs yet my other tablet can get 15mbps easily. Could it be the modem or perhaps it's a wide spread issue.

Are you running a custom rom? If so then its very likely its because of the kernel and rom.
