Rerelease of ICS on Epic 4g touch? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Ok Im a newbie to the rooted epic 4g touch, now I one clicked my epic 4g touch with sfhubs ff18 one click. Now I heard that they are rereleasing the update to fix ALOT of issues. My question is will I get the notification for the update on my rooted phone and will it put my phone back to unrooted if I do? Also if it doesnt send me the notification will someone be posting another one click no data odin link for the new update so I can get the fix? Sorry but not sure how updates work on rooted phones.

There is no new update release. They are resuming the previous release, with the only change being the updater script now automatically wipes data from the Swype keyboard to fix that particular bug.

So then they arent fixing the battery issue?

The battery issue has been resolved for several people I know that have removed all of their user installed apps and reinstalled one by one till they find the app that isn't ICS ready.

It might sound weird how i resolved the battery issue. I went to settings and unmounted sd card. Then restarted phone. Then inserted card, mounted, and let it go through its motions, when it stabilized... I restarted it again.
All is well. Run cpuspy to check making sure its going into deep sleep properly, remove apps or set them to manual update. Im not a big Facebook guy, i have an account, but the recent update forced 1 hour check ins, preventing deep sleep. Be vigilant in checking apps anytime they update.
This ff18 (two weeks or so im on it) is fabulous and smooth for me. No rooting, i did the YouTube guy update real easy

I followed what you said and everything is flawless. May just be me but the task manager bug isn't there anymore.

Random Reboot Issue

Was wondering if anyone had the same problem as me/a solution..
My T-Mobile S2 randomly reboots itself once a day at least when left idle. Not rooted. Bone stock rom, about 33 user apps installed that never gave me problems on my other phones (Nexus One, HD2)
I read something about SD cards causing the issue, so I formatted mine from the phone and threw it back in, still happening.
I can give a list of my apps if it would help, other than that I did notice one other thing.. I use the google news & weather widget that came with the phone, and I set it not to auto refresh. After it reboots, and I don't have background data on, the widget doesn't load (this is how I know it's actually rebooting if I wake up to it) so maybe it's related to that somehow?
Any input is appreciated.
I have the same issue after I rooted my phone and I install the Juggernaut 2.5

No one on stock, huh. Guess I should've known better being on xda and all. Haha.

Only one update, open or uninstall , wtf?

This happens a lot , but if I hold update back hold update back a couple of times it will finally show update.

what are you talking about?
ota updates?
He's talking about the market apps updating. Although I would have had no idea if I didn't have the problem myself.
Clear market cache.
And speak coherently next time
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
Oh I guess you had to be there.
App updates in the regular market, if there is only one update and you click on it the next screen says open or uninstall , instead of update .
And if I go back and forth a few times it will let me update . I was just letting y'all know that's another way to make it work .

When that happens to me I just give up and wait until there's more than on, then Update all. But it's annoying. Glad I'm not the only one experiencing it.

Happens on multiple as well its usually only one of them not showing update. Had 4 showing today but titanium backup was like that.
I believe this is an issue with the new market. I've had this issue occur on multiple phones. It should be resolved soon I'd imagine...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
That happens to me when on Wifi. Once I switch it off and fall back to 3G, I can update it.
It has to be Market side... I get the same thing happening on my ET4G, GT10.1 and my wife's HTC EVO Shift and Galaxy Tab.
Clear cashe and it fixes it... For a bit.

4g will not work with app store

Is anyone having this issue too? If my 4g is on, i can surf the Web, but now it won't update apps or download them. It stuck on waiting for network, but when i switch to 3g, download starts right away...4g not working for downloading or updating apps.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
It's been posted before in other portions of the thread. Nothing I can do besides the temp fix. Go to setting-manage apps- the find the play market and clear the cache then uninstall the update. You will have to do that every time you re enter the market under 4g
let me guess you are on a GB build possibly with a ICS modem? if so then you need to choose either one or the other. i was having the same problem recently and thats how i fixed it.

Yes your correct there is no real fix until they update the market again. or if you flash a ROM with a new Ics market then it should work fine.

Phone woke me to update, is this official jelly?

So, today at 2am my phone went all crazy with a status for a new software update. But unlike the leak 200mb+ this one is only comes at 94mb. Is this the official jelly from Samsung and tmobile? Here's a screen shot of the package being downloaded.
Update: false alarm, still reads 4.0.4.

Yes there is a very easy fix! Delete or rename these:
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
Now reinstall your preferred recovery and reboot.

Try going to settings-motion - and turn OFF smart alert.. That's the setting that makes your device vibrate when missed calls /messages are received to notify you when picking up the device..

Are you interested in trouble shooting or are you to the point that you're set to jump back to ICS?
If you are interested in trying to figure out your issues; we'd need to know which FK23 you used to start. You said you were stock/unrooted so I'd assume you used the .tar file with Odin, but I don't want to assume.
Like third son, I use Fk23 as my dd and have, so far, had a great experience to my delight. I used the intial .tar with pc Odin.
I would start from scratch. Sounds like you got a flacky install.
I guess I can try again... I followed the youtube video from qbking77 so whatever the video used is what I used lol
I mean I like this update but to buggy for me
So ill give it one more try. Any other way to try it would be great

+1 to this.
OP - Try this link. (I'm am not saying it's better than _dan's, Mattix's, garwynns / nor am I saying unrooted is better than rooted. I'm saying this is the build that's my DD and has been great for me.)
Be advised to backup everything important from your phone prior. Read everything and take your time. I know you were busy but don't rush.
If you have any questions, I'm sure there are a ton of people willing to answer.

No, you don't have to reflash ICS. When you get home and if you have questions before hand, just ask.
Everything you mentioned works fine for me. Except apps disappearing from homepage, I got that too. Unless you move them to the internal sd it will keep happening. Hopefully that's fixed with FL04.. I have way too much apps and need as much on external as possible.

If you have the modem flashed already, don't worry about that one. Look on "about phone" to find out. The rooted one click will give you both kernel and rom. Are you familiar with how to do that? Not being a wise guy....just asking....
Here is the thread from xda. I think team sextape doesn't want us to link to their site (maybe I'm wrong)
