Nothing works/GPS/4G - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I had issues with my phone not using 4G(speeds were under 30kb). Only way to test out new rom is to drive to an area that has 4g about 2 hours away. I go there about once a month, but to test it out is a pain. To top it off my GPS rarely works. Tried ALL ICS modems.
I gave up and updated through sprint and long story short am now on FI27 rooted. FI27 stock without root caused nothing but problems. Gps wouldnt work, 4g wouldnt work, wifi wouldnt work, gave up and rooted it and flashed agats kernel.
Now my google maps shows my location but does not lock. Gps status app does not pick up ANY satellites either. 4g is unknown as I wont be in 4g area until Thursday.
I'm so lost with this phone, it's problem after problem. It's my 4th android phone and only one to cause so many problems. It's making me flip out.
Any help, of course, appreciated.
Just flashed original FI27 kernel and still no go.

Sounds like you need to exchange it with sprint. Its probably hardware defects.

Have you tried using FK09? I've experienced higher 4G and 3G speeds, and I've had faster GPS detection times.

I sort of had the same issue. My gps one day decided not to lock any longer (after working great for awhile even indoors) , i was so frustrated i decided to open the phone up and have a look at the antenna. To my surprise the antenna is on the back cover of the phone. Here are the 3 things i did to make it work.
1.Odin back to el26, flashed FI27 modem drove around a bit to make sure i got a good lock, accuracy at 8 meters or less. Then i nandroid back to Paranoid rom.
2.Cleaned the connectors to the antenna with alcohol.
3.Unplugged the connector, don't know what that connector is for =] - i just wanted a way to reset the hardware.
As you can see there is no antenna to be found, there is a ribbon connector on the bottom right of the image (out of the shot - first picture) i disconnected that thinking that might reset the hardware.

Here is the antenna on the back of the phone when you unscrew it.
I was so fed up, that I just did all the 3 steps without checking the gps checking in between, in the end it worked. I would recommend odin back to el26 first getting a good lock and go from there.

Thanks for the replies. I odined using FI27 stock rom rooted clean install wiping everything. The gps works but I have to use all settings under "Location". Also, it only worked outside of my home and had to drive around for a few seconds to lock in some satellites.
Agats kernel wouldnt do it at all. Stock kernel works(not inside house though), but the location settings sound normal?
I'm tempted to go back to el26, but not sure. Im hoping it is just the new area I moved to (Poconos PA) because as soon as i drive a few seconds I get a lock. Right now back in home I dont even have 1 satellite being picked up.
Going to back to NY Wed/Thursday, how would I know if my 4g is borked or whatever before going out there since I wont have a computer to mess around with it?
Thinking of going to el26 and maybe just leaving it at that.
Not too good on opening phones. Scratched my xperia x10 to crap lol. Could of sold that for 80 bucks at a store but it has constant boot loops. tried a reflow hack on the board but failed

I don't have GPS aiding turned on in location, actually there isn't a setting for that in paranoid rom - but i do remember on ICS i wouldn't turn that on. How accurate is the lock using GPS Test or GPS status?

Its 4:55 am and im at dunkin donuts. Its at 4m accuracy with maps. Gps status reported 4 errors and 8 out of 12 satellites fixed. When i put phone out of window it goes to 9/11 and errors at 2. Inside car the numbers get worse but lock is there. Im hoping its just a ug.
I think ill bring my laptop this week when i go to ny and start flashing all roms and modems lol.
Do the gps numbers seem okay? If thats good then next thing would be to fix 4g. Gotta test gps without network and see if it locks.
Wish me luck lol
Edit, it all works now. Think I'm going to stay with rooted FI27 stock rom. Too many risks trying different roms out.
Thanks everyone.

How to know why my phone reboots ?

Hello,
My Defy is rebooting randomly, and I'm looking for a way to know why it reboots.
I'd like to have something monitoring the reboot events, in order to tell me why it reboots exactly, which service or application is causing the reboot.
Is it possible ?
thanks.
mine reboots randomly too, but even worse is that sometimes I get "only emergency calls" and keeps that way until I turn fly mode on&off. It's very annoying because i need to keep an eye on it.
I hadn't flashed mine, maybe these issues get solve if i use another ROM?
No rom solves it. Its to do with signnal strength and 3G. You will find two more threads in same section. But no one wants to help.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
Try another SIM card? I read that some SIM Defy give problems and restarts ...
i've only tried a SIM but it's new.
It seems to be a software problem, because it happens randomly and recovers signal every time i switch flight mode on and off...
It has to do with signal strength and 3G. I would suggest that is there is one particular area it does it in, note that area and contact TMobile. They have solved my issues every time I have called into them about it. I suspect part of the issue has to do with the tower.

Have read other threads on this saying same. In the US, T-Mo seems pretty good at responding to these calls.
I'm in France, so T-Mobile should provide me with no help.
However, I will give a try with a new SIM card.
The problem is when you walk into elevator or some cabin. No signal initiates reboot then and tmob cant help in such cases. Is there a developer who can help me with fine tuning one already existing app?. Its called Shutupbattery saver. It switches Off data when signal is low but it needs more modification to make it work. I am ready to pay if someone can help. This tool will also be useful to everyone to save a lot of battery in low signal areas.

Are you running wifi at the same time? I've noticed this exaggerates the problem even more. The other thing I noticed is if you phone is overclocked, put it back to stock and see if it still happens. That was one of the observations I made with both of mine.
With or without WiFi makes no difference. The phone is using official "Orange FR" 2.51.1 ROM, no root, no overclock (even no app), and it may work perfectly for several days and then start to reboot.
It rebooted during the week end. On monday I managed to stop it after several factory reset and wipe of cache. It worked on monday afternoon and tuesday ; and on wednesday morning, during the breakfast the phone restarted one time. Afterward, in the morning several reboots occured, I tried to factory reset the phone two times. The first one with no success (using the bootloader's recovery), the second one by using the "confidentiality" menu of the phone, and it stopped the reboots.
The phone have been working since 10 am and the last reset, and no reboot occured. I installed no app after this reset, I only replaced the SIM by a new one this evening.
I will try the phone like this tomorrow, and on friday I will start to reinstall my applications, and test each one prior to install the next one.

All those observations I made was with stock rom and with no/less apps. I will wait for the Scratman to come back and report his findings. Hope the sim thing works. I am damn fed up of walking into no signal zone again.
If you know the phone is going to reboot, before it does hit *#*#4636#*#* on the dial pad and let us know what the phone is connected to, signal strength, etc. I know I could alwasy tell when mine was going to do it as the phone got real sluggish and it acted almost like a kernel panic. It was a very obvious behavior.
Signal strength with 3G below 102dbm is when it reboots.

OK i came across this wonderful app called Tasker. I tried doing some stuff but this app is realllllllly complex. Can any bright mind download the app here and make a sequence which says "low signal then switch off APN".
I made some but i am pretty sure I am wrong. Here is the code for the direct download. It is a trial and will expire in 9days.

I have the same problem with random reboots.
I sent it in to Motorola and got it back now with only the speaker exchanged (!?!).
Of course now I still have the problem. Upgraded then to Finland 2.2. with Pays Mod, but reboots still sometimes (once or twice a day).
Tried ShutupBatterySaver to turn of data connection when the signal is too low --> still reboots.
I think I can remember that once somebody in this forum posted a link from the Motorola support with a bugfix, but I can't find it anymore. Anyone here knows more?
Has anyone else tried replacing their SIM with a uicc SIM? Others on the non-us Moto forum are reporting SIM replacement as a cure -- but I recommend you get the latest uicc version.

[Q] GPS issue?

Hey Guys. Has anyone had the GPS problem on stock setup or after root and flash? I have to reboot every time in order for it to pick up the satellites. i have been using a gps check program from the market to check the status. It will only see 1 sat when the phone has been running for awhile, it won't connect at all outside with clear skys. I read some people having the issue on the sprint site but, not much about it here. Anyone?!?
Did you try Sprint Navigation? That normally gets a gps log on right away. Google isn't working proper on any phone i used. Gladfully we on sprint have free Sprint navigation from telenav whatever beats Google nav anyway. Try it you probably get a log on to gps right away.

Download GPS Test from the android market. Then go into setting and clear the agps and it should lock in within seconds. That's what I did. I only had to do it once and my gps has been fine after that. It locks in within 10 seconds.
I had the same exact issue
To be specific I had my phone bearly 2 weeks, One day while just sitting on the counter with the screen off in what should have been idle state my phone was so hot I could bearly pick the thing up the digitizer or non of the buttons on the screen would function and it was super slow.
I had to pull the battery out to reset the phone the battery history showed it drained a near 90% + charge in under 2hrs.. to say the least I had a couple LOS after reboot everything was FOTB.
Since then my GPS worked for crap it was inermident it seemed the cooler the phone the better it did work but after a certain warm temp it would fail and anywhere around warm or less it would work intermidently at best..
Long story short after talking to someone for several houres he decided it haves a hardware issue after going to a sprint store and pulling teeth they finaly order me a replacement..
After investigating here is what I personaly found out.. The GPS is intergrated into the cpu, i dont know if it is on the T-mobile version with the snapdragon DC CPU, but what I think actually happined is my CPU overheated to the point of desoldering or lifting the chip or causing the internal GPS portion of the CPU to fail or degrade. I am asuming maybe a LOS crashed my phone to the point of causing this failure as of now I have a new phone and it did resolve the issue.
I had the most difficulty with trying to prove to the store that the GPS was bad because the store employees would try and argue that A-Tower triangulation acurate to 3000meters is good enough then after training sprint employees and technicians the difference between A-Tower & GPS I was finally able to get a replacement phone.
I've had this issue happen to me twice on the stock ROM. Google navigation could not get gps lock for several minutes in clear view of the sky. I rebooted the phone, and navigation then got an almost instant lock after going back in. I don't have another gps monitoring app, so I don't know if my phone was having an issue, or nav. I periodically had similar issues on my Droid 1, so it may not be unique to this phone.
Well like discussed in a other tread sprint navigation has no issues to log on to gps. Google nav has issues. It is almost with all Android phones that Google nav has issues to log on to gps. Sprint nav logs on basically instantly.

Google maps locked up on 10 of 11 sats in less than 5 seconds the first time I tried it this morning. I've seen better accuracy (mine varied between 12-18 ft) SN ratio was great all 10 were over 20). I've had my phone since Saturday and GPS test found and used 5 sats in my basement (first time I've ever seen that) turned on my wife's epic and got the same thing.
This is what I get but I don't know if it's good. I can never get shopkick points. I love show kick.

I've been having this issue more and more lately.
Its the same thing every time, after the phone has been up and running for days on end, the GPS will not work at all.
Reboot and its 100% fine and super fast lock & accuracy.
But its now to the point that I just reboot my phone daily just to avoid running into this.
Doesnt help that I dont even have 3g in phoenix, curious if its part of the problem.
I had a lot of problems. Bottom line is that I think some phones may have borked gps chips. After going to thru tech support online, on the phone , and finally taking the phone in, they replaced it and the new ones works great.
Hey guys, just wanted to share my findings with the GPS problem a lot of people seem to have, including me. I was having issue's connecting my GPS all the time, it would not locate the satellites unless I hard reset the phone until I found this software in the market.
It's called. GPS FIX - just search, GPS FIX - simple enough...right?
I tried using the other GPS program everyone talked about, and clearing the whatever but it never really seemed to work. This program however works FLAWLESS! You start your GPS, launch this program, it finds everything, then you launch your Nav software or whatever and it pops up instantly.
Hope this helps...
*side note - my friend has a HD2 and his has the same issue, and also another phone he uses as well. So the GPS issue seems to be something a lot of phones experience, makes me feel better it's not just isolated to this device.
I'm currently running the Starburst rom and using GPS on the road heading to South Carolina. The gps and navigation has been working perfect and accurately

It was worse on the galaxy s, the culprit was the spring arm that makes contract with the GPS antenna on the back case. The arm would lose tension and it would then loose contract. I had my first issue with GPS this morning, wouldn't lock. Haven't tried it since my drive to work

Just enter ##gpsclrx# into your dialer then enter your msl code. Let it do its thing then reboot your phone. You should have much better GPS locks afterwards

Sorry for the late response. It clears the GPS data on the phone, and forces it to resync. This has in the past on several devices resolved GPS locking issues.

[Q] Gps gone south

On caulkins rom. Everything was fine, then in the last few days, Gps takes 30 seconds or more to lock. Sometimes not lock at all.
My phone did have a couple of minor drops, but nothing bad.
Any ideas?
Typical for a Samsung phone, you can download GPS status from the market and reset your GPS, sometimes that helps.
im running a stock one that i just got rom saturday and I have been seeing intermittent issues too... sometimes no lock on my 60 mile drive to work!!!!!
im gonna try gps status....
I just came back from a 9 hour road trip, clear skies, my phone would frequently loose the signal altogether or be off by a few hundred feet. Next time I'll just use my Garmin, or an HTC phone.

It was also working for the initial set up and stopped yesterday for some reason. Oh well. i know where I am going for now.
Clearing the GPS cache with GPS status always works for me. But I really rarely have to do it, and have had GPS on for 8 hours before without issue. Seems like what someone said before is true: not all Samsung's are created equal.

Im inclined to believe this, the other sgs2 in the family didn't loose the GPS signal like mine did during the trip.
I'm still stock and I recently went on a 12 hour drive with a lock the entire way even through the occasional storm... Nothing major.

Now after Clearing it, do you lead GPS Status to Download the AGPS Data after? or After Clearing the GPS Cache, do you close GPS Status, then use Google Map?
I'd like to know
Thank you!
Strange, I've been using this phone for over a month now, and have never had a GPS issue. I use GPS quite often with google maps, google nav, or Waze, and the lock is almost instant. Hasn't ever lost GPS lock either. I'm on a stock rooted EL29 ROM, with EL29 modem and Rogue 1.4.0 Kernel/Recovery. Will not be going anywhere near the touch recovery mess. I'm in NYC, so often the tall buildings will interfere with the signal at ground level, but it's no more than a block off in those areas. But that's a common problem with GPS, and my old Evo had the same issues.

just got of the phone with sprint after 2 hours of troubleshooting. they made be restart me phone a million times din't work, they made me reactivate the phone didn't work, finally got transfered to someone with a bit of knowledge and its been working so far.
what they did with me on the was:
1. go to settings
2. system updates
3. update profile
4. restart
it hasn't gone to **** yet hope this works for the long run not for now.
Strange thing for me is that my first phone's gps was broken. They gave me the refurb I have now and it was just great. Locked in a few seconds and stayed locked.
Now for the last couple of weeks, it has just been terrible. doesn't lock for minutes at a time. GPS Test app shows pretty bad reception.
The problem is that it only seems to work, when I finally start driving towards the sprint store, to put in for a replacement.
I also went back to complete stock. el29

Interesting - what would be contained in a profile update that would be useful here though? Does a profile update simply reset your GPS in the same way that GP Test does?
i was on the phone yesterday with sprint for 2 hours and today went back to the same ****. called them again after 45 mins they decided to write an e ticket for the phone and went and got a new one. they are saying it's a bug in the white e4gt. don't now if it's happening to any one with black phones.

[Q] SLOW Wifi speed - Something wrong! [proven] Please help

Hi guys,
I have a 50 mbps internet connection at home and work. However, when i run a speed test in both locations, I'm only getting 1-2 mbps download speeds. When I perform the same test on my other android devices, I get the following:
Nexus 7 - 35+ mbps
Evo 3D - 16+ mbps
How do I go about fixing this? Is it my modem/radios? I'm thinking this might be the case as I updated my modem to MA7 and could have done it wrong, for all I know?
Here are my details:
Android Version: 4.1.2
Baseband: L900VPAMA7
Kernel: 3.0.31-265523 [email protected] #1
Build Number: MacksROM AllStar! MA7
Hardware: L900.09
Can someone please help?
Here's a few suggestions to help you narrow it down.
See if it's signal strength by moving closer to the router.
If you're using the speedtest app, test with 5 different locations to make sure it's not an issue on their side.
I've already confirmed it's not my home or work router. All other devices perform fine on it.
I've also confirmed that it's not the custom ROM i'm using. Other people with the same ROM have no speed problems.
It's also not the Speed test app. I've change to about 10 different servers and they all come back with the same results.
Not only that, but my other android devices perform fine on those same servers. It has to be my wifi antenna. But how do I fix this?
Have you verified the md5 of the rom zip?

I'm in the same boat. It seams likes since I upgraded to ma7 I've had a very weak wifi signal. I have to shut off wifi and use 4g. Ive upgraded to mc2, changed roms nothing has helped. The wife has full bars (stock) right now and I have none. I dont know what else to try. I'm glad someone else is having the same issues.
I had the same problem. My wifi on my Note 2 was and is so slow compared to my S3 and S4 I get 25 down on my S3 and 45+ on the S4 but on the Note 2 its about 10 and less its has to be something with the device it's self I got a replacement and still had the problem son may be the wifi radios just suck

Flash a stock rom and see if your speed are the same. And I mean stock samsung not a custom touchwiz rom.
The radios shouldn't matter.... But after you try a stock samsung rom, try upgrading your radio to mc2.

This is from a stock rom, Wifi N to a server in GA from Tampa, using MC2.

Just noticed that my wifi has now just start to go slower as in the actual signal to the router is even low. And I didn't have this problem a few weeks ago so I'm not sure what's going on. Been completely stock too. The only thing that might be the issue is the kernel. As before I was stock but was running saber kernel

I've tried multiple kernels and had the same issue with all of them. Stock. Perseaus, now I'm on Ziggy.
Also I'm having an issue with people can't hear me when they call me. But when I call them back everything is fine. Tried turning off noise reduction and it didn't help.
I just about to reflash back to stock and return it to Sprint.
Would the wifi scan interval have something to do with it? Not sure myself but just a suggestion.

My issue is that the Damn WiFi goes crazy anywhere from 1 bar to 2 bars and takes for ever to load a YouTube video that is even in HD. I have a 24Mbps connection and typically on any other device I get 15 to 18Mbps. However on here it says that but Sure isnt acting like that.

Ok I did a factory reset and flashed with mc2_stock with reset. Well surprise its still the same. I compared mine with my wife's stock note 2 and everything is the same. With the phones side by side she had full wi fi and I had a small green dot.
Any ideas before I return the back to sprint?
Sounds like a broken WiFi antenna. I had the same issue with my OG Evo, and an Android TV Stick. The little tape strip that had the thin antenna in it had been torn and caused signal issues. I took the phone to Sprint hand got a new back panel with new antennas all around. Fixed the issue.

Network Status Issue, Please Help!

I'm running the Lab Rats v2.3 rom with Persues alpha36 kernel and MA7 Baseband Modem. A few days ago I started having a strange issue with having full wifi or mobile data 4g signal, but nothing was connecting to the network. Restarting the phone would get connection for a couple of minutes until everything loads and then would end, even though still showing full signal. In Settings-About-Phone Status under Network it showed Unknown instead of Sprint, all other info was correct. I tried updating PLR and Profile, but it didn't work. I then did ##SCRTN# (##72786#), still didn't fix connection problems and Network still read Unknown instead of Sprint.
Had to full wipe and reflash the rom, then connectivity started working but still Network Unknown. Again did tried ##SCRTN# but nothing.
Even though I get wifi and mobile data, problem is when I try to purchase apps through Google Play Market via Bill my Sprint Account, it says cannot verify network or something along those lines.
Again this started a few days ago, and all was good prior. The dev who posted Lab Rats told me that the rom has nothing to do with network connectivity, so I was hoping someone here can help me out with any suggestions or a fix.
Thanks

Yea it is a prob with the rom. I flashed a different rom and the Network read Sprint again, then I flashed back to the updated version of Lab Rats and same problem. He told me network issue isnt the roms fault, and to try to flash a different modem, but thats not it either since I tried and it didnt work. I think maybe something, a system apk or something was left out thats why it doesnt read the network... I know he removed VPNDialogs.apk which is why vpn apps like Tunnel Bear or OpenVPN don't work, but I let him know and he will probably include it in his updater for those who need it to download and install. So I will compare other roms with Lab Rats for some sort of system apk that sounds like it has to do with network and install it and see what happens.

synergy rom and perseus kernel
I have a similar issue. I am running the synergy rom and using the perseus kernel. I can get data just fine, but I cn not make or receive voice calls. The calls will go through but no sound will be played. The sound works fine in all other conditions. Doing a factory reset fixes this, but only temporarily.

Im having the same issue as you, i am running whomp rom with the latest perseus kernel, it just began yesterday and i ahve tried everything from restoring to a back up, to ##786#. I am lost... no calls can be heard but the call does go through.
As you can see, the rom isnt necessarily the issue as two other roms report the same things.
Usually prl updates or system updates will fix any network connectivity issue.
The unknown network has nothing to do with anything. Its cosmetic and hasn't effected anything other than to remove Sprint from the dropdown bar.
Its quite possible the reason you guys were told thats not the issue is because its not. We, as all the other people here try to make everything as smooth an workable as possible.

check out our rom website, http://updater.team-nocturnal.com/labrats/
I have the same report of unknown and haven't had any data issues at all and I've been running labrats for several months.. No matter how many roms I flash, I end up back to labrats because it truly does just work and if something does happen to be broke, the devs are on top of it..

What PRL are you guys on? We had TERRIBLE issues that I thought at one point may be the phone but turned out to be a network issue. PRL 2000 has fixed most of that for me.
