[Q] Battery is doing something WEIRD!

Well, i think something is majorly wrong with my epic..
i normally turn it off to charge while i sleep, cause it gets really hot if i charge it while its on.
but now when its off and plugged in, it only shows the empty battery icon thing with the loading wheel and the touch buttons on the bottom light up, and the red light does not show, and i seem to actually be losing battery like this. (stays like that as long as i have the cable plugged in too) :O
i was on Frozen 1.2 when this started
ive flashed back to stock ECO5 and this did not fix the problem
and i am now on ACS Bamboozle EF02.
ive used 3 different cables btw
Does anybody know how to fix this problem??

Nothing wrong with your stufff.... its an ef02 problem.

Edited....if it truly started on SRF 1.2 then you need to take your phone to the Sprint store. If it actually started on a Gingerbread ROM, then its a known issue with the leaks

[Q] Notification lights

My notification led does not come on when charging. Also it doesn't come on when i receives txts or emails. I know the light works because i went into the test menu and they worked there.
PS. I also cant charge while the phone is off. When a cable is plugged in the phone automatically boots up instead of showing the battery charging screen.
Can somebody help me out?

Are you on a custom ROM? If so try to Odin back to EC05 and see if that makes them work again. It may have been a bad flash.

[Q] E4GT won't turn on

I tried loading the new senzation rom. it installed successfully then when i went to restart my phone it just stayed on the samsung galaxy s2 splash screen. now it won't turn on. so i figured it was out of battery. i plugged it in for a 2 hours already and still wont turn on. i notice that the power led light is blinking a dim blue. anybody got any ideas on how to fix this?

Sounds like a bad flash. Go into Download mode (volume down+ power button while phone is turned off) and Odin back to stock... I its just a soft brick so you should be fine...

So with battery in, when you try to power on, you do get the blue light but really dim and nothing after that?

[Q] Green screen when camera is being used.

Everything works properly on my phone, except the camera. Sometimes when I try to take a picture of something, the part of the display showing what the camera is looking at turns green. Check out the screenshot to see what it looks like.
I don't think this is a CM9 related issue. I have dropped my phone quite a few times. Sprint won't even touch my phone because it's rooted and I flashed CM9. I searched around on the forums and found that this may be an issue with the "push on the camera connecter being loose" but I'm not sure and don't plan to open up my phone unless I know exactly what to do. Could this be hardware failure or something else?

Its most likely voodoo color related from what was told to me.

+ 1. If voodoo color settings are outta wack it'll cause green screens. If that doesn't fix the issue Odin back to stock update to stock EL30 and then take it to sprint.
Also sprint can deny working on the phone if their is physical damage done from dropping it. Example: scratches and dents on the sides of the phone.

LED issue. After Root...

When I got my GS3 it had an issue where the LED wouldnt blink, just stayed lit. TMobile sent an update not long after that fixed it. Worked fine for the last 2 months. Rooted last night and the LED issue is back. Lights up but doesnt blink. stays solid. Root+CWM+SU and busy box. Nothing else.
Help? I searched and read some others but they weren't quite issues like mine so I apologize if this has been addressed already.

What version OS are you on? Meaning LH2, LEM,..
Also when you say it just stays on, is that after you receive a message or when plugged in. Is the screen on while it is lit up? Have you double checked the LED settings after you rooted? Maybe they got un/ticked somehow.

The LED lights up and stays lit, does not blink. Other than that its normal. Happens for any notification that would have made it blink previously. Settings are per app and havent changed (Go SMS, facebook, facebook messenger, etc) Screen doesnt come on improperly or anything like that. The LED is constant when it should blink.

Only time I've seen that on my phone it was caused by the Liteflow app. Not sure if it was ever addressed but did you have an led control app installed at any point?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

I believe I did, for a short time, months ago. But it was long ago removed.

It may have screwed with some settings that you didn't notice, but when you updated they carried over but caused some sort of conflict....hard to say for sure. I would create a nandroid backup, backup your int sdcard, and do a factory reset. (If you don't have stock recovery it won't wipe internal sd, but if you still have issues go in recovery and format data.)
Then restore the data portion only of your nandroid. If it comes back you will have to either deal with it or start from scratch.

Or check to see if app was fixed and reinstall it. Configure it, then uninstall. It could help....maybe.

Actually you're better off just installing one of the newer modems. They fix that problem. UVLI6 or 7 and you're peachy keen. After the nandroid backup of course

Really? I find that surprising since the modem is independant from the rest of the system. But hey, if it works for that, great!
OP, if you try this let us know if it fixed yours please.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Man its been a long time since I played in recovery I think Ill look for that new modem...

Doc has a thread in the Dev section that has all the modems and a maps in post#2 that will tell you where people are getting best data and with what modem.
Although I doubt a modem swap will fix it, I am interested to see. Maybe check in the GoSMS app and see if there are any settings for notification options that are over-riding stock settings.
Edit: Here is Doc's thread.

You can use any1 one of them as long as it is aTMO modem. When I was on FrostyJB I used H2 modem which is ICS with no problems.

I'm on a version of LH2 and am using LI7 modem.

The led lights are being changed as the code is being updated.
Wish I knew more.
But, seems to be the case

Yup. Originally it was coded differently than was expected, as normally done in the past. I know it was being worked on on the liteflow app and heard Sammy was going to do something about it too, but I never kept up with it.

New modem did not fix me issue

So wait.. whos issue is this sammy or the devs ?
Strictly hardware...is the phone capable of true RGB variances in light ? All I see is Blue/Green/Red any other color is some weird mix where Blue is still too prominent.
Are there any custom ROMs where the LEDs function as normal and 3rd party apps can control as expected ?

Its a Samsung issue. If I remember right it was only on the US variants (or maybe just ours?).
Its just the way it was coded. I guess they never got it fixed either on the light flow side or Samsung side? I stopped keeping up with the progress a while back.
