Modem Issues Since ICS Update - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hey guys,
I was wondering if I can use the EL29 modem with ICS. I have had many issues with ICS and my phone, with the stock ROM and three other custom ROMs. I even had trouble with FH13 and FF18. I had many problems with my GPS not working and I had problems not receiving calls or being able to make calls.
I had to go back to GB in order to get my phone working. Which I like GB but I had to update to ICS to stop getting the annoying update notification.
Anyways, anyone else have this trouble. After talking to Sprint's super nerd tech support, I am 100% positive that my phone just hates anything but EL29.

You can use any modem you like on any build, whatever gets you the best results.

Thats good to know that I am not the only one. I would run GB still if it wasn't for the OTA update constantly spamming me to upgrade. No matter what I did it was either trying to download all the time killing my battery or it was telling me to install every ten minutes.

Love Hate relationship. Return it?

I absolutely LOVE everything about this phone EXCEPT the LOS issues!!
I've only had it for 5 days now and experienced 3 LOS!
Since I'm still within 14 days, should I return it? thinking of getting the Photon instead.
From personal experience I'd say hang on to it and try flashing some of the newer releases to see if it doesn't improve the LOS issue.

I know you are asking because apparently you need the help of others to make up your mind... (sorry I am a smartass) But quick question what rom are you on cuz buddy LOS is a thing of the past up in herrrre... And that PHoton are you serious would you trade in your S clase Benz for a C Class Benz....
Root that sucka and flashing one of the stock EL29 roms or do the upgrage on your phone for the complete stock version... Oh yea and if you gonna ask where the roms are then maybe you should return your phone...LOL (smartass again)
exactly, flash something different (I'd recommend calks) and that issue goes away :O

Doesn't even need to flash roms, root, and all that. Just OTA to EL29 and it should get rid of the issue.
Hey playya like the benz analogy, I was thinkin the same thing about the photon swap.
Yea update your phone dawg LoS was fixed officially in december
If you have Los on EK02+ get a replacement

What's the latest stock version?
I'm on EL29 version 2.3.6 running fully stock since there was no reason to go custom until now.
and thanks for all the help so far. looks like I'll either update to latest stock version or go custom.

I think almost everyone on this forum experienced frequent LOS until Sprint issued a firmware update that fixed it. I haven't experienced LOS since and it would happen to me several times a day. Update your firmware and you should see this go away. (my recommendation is to go with Calk's non-ICS firmware since it's probably the most stable at the moment)

Sounds like you need to get your phone replaced. The loss of service was fixed with ek02. el29 was the update after ek02 and it's the most recent update. You shouldn't be having any problems.
And you're flat out insane if you step down to a photon.

I'd definitely suggest Call's E4GT rom its one of the better ones out there, i havent had any issues with LoS but i did just get my phone in december. But for sure keep this phone !
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Yea, I would try flashing Calk's EL29. It should solve the LOS issues while improving the phone in mutliple other areas as well.
If that doesn't work, just take ot back to Sprint and replace it with another one. I would highly recommend staying with this phone though, not the Photon.

I was initially going to flash to Calks ROM anyway but this phone was pretty awesome out of the box until the LOS issue.
I think it's safe to say Im keeping this phone since there seems to be a fix for LOS

Exactly my thought... OP, as you are on EL29 you should not be experiencing LOS. Are you sure what you are experiencing is actually LOS, and not just poor Sprint service?
I'm not an expert flasher but the devs here have made it so simple I've been able to play around with several of the ICS releases but I always return to sfhub's stock-rooted EL29 and get amazing performance out of it.

I believe so. It says something to the effect of no service and roaming charges will be applied. So i'm assuming thats LOS.

If your phone is up to date I wouldn't flash anything on it. Just take it to a store and get it replaced. The LOS issue has been fixed. Unless your counting the ghost LOS problem. I had that one until I switched to EL29.

GPS not locking until reboot - post custom rom

So I recently installed Calkulin's custom rom v2.9.2 and now my GPS doesn't lock unless I reboot the phone.
Any fix for this? thanks.
Try GPS status app

just tried this, doesn't work on my phone.
Only thing that works is a reboot which is a hassle everytime i need a GPS lock.
anyone else w/ any suggestions? I'd hate to go back to stock ROM.
Doesn't the GPS continue to work for a few days, before requiring a reboot?
Thats the case with my phone, try different versions of the rooted rom, or radios.

THanks. upon reading a bit of that thread, I found out that through using "GPS Status" I can refresh the "A-GPS" which I didn't know previously.
This seems to work so far.
I'm running the same rom and have no problems with any of my radios, I did also install the EL29 modem when I installed the rom. You may need to try different modems, they work differently on different phones even though you're running the same roms. Also, don't forget to update profile in /settings/about phone/updates

I was originally on EL29 Stock so I'm assuming when I flashed Calks 2.9.2 the modem's the same.
Is there a link where all the modem's can be found? and can I flash any modem?

I'm getting instant GPS locks w/o resetting, rebooting, opening an app etc etc.
On top of that, my 3G/4G speeds have increased!

I tried the fc05 got 13 then 4G started to sleep in the middle of things. The trick is to find "the one" that's stable and everything works. I'm gonna try the others and see how they work. But I know that this one works for my phone.

Update if anyone's interested: FB21 modem w/ EL29 Kernel was good but still had GPS locking issues. I was getting roughly 85% locks (which isn't bad since I test often). FAST download speeds though.
So this got me thinking: When my phone was stock, GPS worked brilliantly. It wasn't until I installed a custom rom that it started to have problems. The difference was the kernel and modems.
So now I flashed back to EK02 modem and kernel (still running Calks 2.9.2) and my GPS has been locking 100% of the time. PLUS my phone is silky smoooooth!
Crossing my fingers that this will last....

I have been having GPS issues as well.
Read through the threads, tried all the fixes I could find.. nothing seems to work..
Running Calkulin's E4GT v3.0 ROM with FD16 modem
Reflashed both ROM and Modem, wiping cache several times
Tried Fast Fixer, GPS FIX, GPS Status and Toolbox.. nada...
Anything else? After all I tried, it only gets 2/2 sats after 5+ min
Is anyone by chance using an extended battery? I was for awhile and my gps was horrible. I never seemed to get a lock. I was to the point of being so frustrated that I was going to Sprint to claim a hardware issue. Put the original battery back in and gps locks every time now within seconds. Not sure if the extended battery was truly the cause but idk what else could explain it.

I'm running the stock battery...
I even tried w/o the rubber case... just in case... sigh...
Why not just flash a new modem? I've tried a few different modems and FC24 is the best I've found.

this may sound noobish... but I have been working with ROMs so much I haven't kept up with stock build details since I got the phone... so..
This still the current stock'ish build for the ET4G?

I'm not sure if someone has mentioned it already cause i'm to lazy to check: but Samsung has a temporary fix; type this into the dialer ##gpsclrx## and it should fix it for a couple hours.
If it doesn't work google it because I don't know if phone settings might block it from doing its job.

It works fine though the new modem, k3, doesnt seem to work as well as h9.
It's worked pretty well for me on AT&T, stock as a vanilla. Must be because I got a message from AT&T yesterday that I reached 65% of my data over the weekend, hehe,
I would love to try and update my phone again but I'm afraid of it killing my data connection once more and me having to go back to ics.

Huh sounds a bit like my phone. Does your data randomly wink out then takes a while to come back? With Juicedefender, occasionally data will not ever return without a reboot.

Yes it was just like that when I updated to Jelly Bean. Once I reverted back to ICS all was good again. I really want Jelly Bean but am worried that if I update again the same thing will happen.

Well in 4.1.2 (NexusMod Reloaded) with K3 modem, the data droppage rate was absolutely terrible. However with the h9 modem, it was more bearable. 3g would wink out for a couple seconds and reconnect immediately although juicedefender still wasnt working too well. I say, create a nandroid backup and flash a 4.1 rom of your choice. Run with it for a couple days and if youre still having issues, go back to your backup. As long as you don't upgrade your modem, shouldnt be too bad.

Try the update again and see what happens. Did you do a factory reset the last time you did the update? If not I would give that a try if the problem happens again after the update. Reading through various forums, it seems that a factory reset after the update has fixed some of the issues people are having.

Odd...I've actually had exactly the opposite experience with the new modem. My cellular connection seems to be a bit stronger and my wifi range has increased significantly. Whereas with the H9 build, I could only go a couple of rooms over from the router in my house and still maintain a wifi connection. Now I can go anywhere inside the house and still have a connection.

I have used Bacon Rom , Loser Rom and stock rom with zero problems with data

My issue that I experienced ever since I flashed the ATT official JB update was that I could send texts and use data and everything, but my contacts would go missing, I couldn't receive text messages and since my contacts would go missing the people in my messaging app would show their number and not their name. I would restart my phone and it would work for a little bit and then would go back out again.
I also switched from the LoserRom which is when I first started experiencing this. I don't think it's ROM related as far as what the developer is doing because I'm experiencing the same thing on ktoonsez AOKP rom.
I also thought it was modem related so I flashed my the LH1 to the CDLK3 Modem and was still experiencing issues. So I went to the CLI5 modem and it was still not receiving texts.
I started to think its my sim card. I turned my phone off took the sim card out and put it back in and powered my phone on. It seems to be working now.
Sorry for this kind of lengthy and out of order.
Please if you have any idea or have experienced this issue as well, please let me know.
Tried that and it still didn't work. Seems like more people are having data problems also.

i dont think the ics dialer idea would work...you can keep trying different modems and see what happens or tell sprint that they suck and demand an airave..they will probaly charge you for it..
As for which phone to get...there is no way for me to answer that man...But i'll tell you this. When i get my next phone it will be the water/dust resistent S4..But i dont see a new phone helping the signal..
You could change you're prl to a roaming one..there are guides here and there online..But this only works for sprint not boost..If you're on sprint..a custom prl would be my move..

i dont think the ics dialer idea would work...you can keep trying different modems and see what happens or tell sprint that they suck and demand an airave..they will probaly charge you for it..
As for which phone to get...there is no way for me to answer that man...But i'll tell you this. When i get my next phone it will be the water/dust resistent S4..But i dont see a new phone helping the signal..

Signal isn't the problem. I have 2 sprint towers in my area closest one is 1/4-1/2 mile down the road from my house.

well..then before you go flashing a custom prl and having sprint freak if you use to much roaming data..lol
I would odin a one-click back to stock rooted ics...you might have something left over from rom flashes messing with you're signal. Make sure you back everything up on you're pc...because you need to use the wipe data one-click..i think its called ''no data''. I'll look to make sure.
edit..nope. Its full restore...not nodata..im a dummy..

Ya know I'm not trying to annoy you dude. But screw it I'll just use a different app for SMS for now. I'm just gonna save up for a new phone. And get a job at the sprint store right by my highschool lol. Employees get new phones for free.

lol..im not annoyed...hope you get it worked out...
Sorry..i seen you have signal now..ive been jumping around and helping others in about 3 different forums. If you're problem is just sms or mms. I would wipe the cache for the sms app in app manager. Then boot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache.Reboot. If it is still wonky..try checking you're apn settings..if they are wrong.change them and reboot.
Should I just look online to see if they're wrong.
