So I've had this issue for a long time now where my 3g radio will reset randomly (i think). What happens is that i lose 3g and the icon will disappear from the top bar. The phone makes a small sound (sounds like when you first power up the phone and it connects to the cell tower / 3g). Then about one second later it makes the same noise and then 3g turns back on. It takes it a few seconds to regain signal and then its usually fine. I know its the 3g because the problem stop when data is turned off, and also when wifi is on.
I've tried reflashing roms, reflashing my modem via odin, and even a factory reset. I can't seem to get this issue to go away. The only thing i can think of how i may have caused this issue was when upgrading to EC05 i forgot to include the pit file one time when flashing the modem with odin.
Any input or ideas would be greatly appreciated. I'm still learning when it comes to android so if I haven't tried it yet its because I either don't know about it or don't know how.

Its been happening to my phone for easily over a month now. And a friend of mine also has an epic that runs the exact same rom. Its also very annoying when playing music and videos cause it cuts out the sound to play the tone when it losses/gains 3g.

Does your friend's epic with the same ROM also.do this?
Do you BONSAI?
Actually I used to use bonsai. This problem started when I upgraded to i want to say 3.0. When the problem first started it also had a terrible battery glitch (when i restarted the phone i lost 50% battery. but a restore fixed this but left the 3g problem). I upgraded to 4.0 and the problem still hadn't been fixed. So thinking maybe it had something to do with the rom, I switched to Syndicate Rom Frozen and thats what I'm using now. My friend still has a DK28 Bonsai on his phone because I'd rather not somehow give him this annoying issue. But as of now his phone does not have this issue, so think it has to be my phone and not sprint.
Could flashing the modem .tar in odin without selecting the .pit file do this? I feel like it might have changed something it shouldn't. From what i recall it completed successfully without the .pit.
Edit: also thanks a lot for your help so far kenny
Very happy i got a quick response and that my thread wasnt just ignored.
Have you ever Odin'd back to stock DI18? Do that and let it update OTA to EC05 and see if that fixes it. Then flash your ROM and see if your issue returns.
Do you BONSAI?
When I switched from Bonsai to SRF I odin'd back to DI18/stock and it still didnt fix the issue. However I didn't let it update OTA and just odin'd from DI18 to EC05 then installed SRF. When i get the time to do all that ill give it a try doing the OTA and get back to you.

If you got the same issue with stock DI18 then you may have a flaky 3G radio in that phone. When you OTA maybe you should let Sprint look at it. You may get a new phone.
Hello,
I've been experiencing annoying freezing up issues with my second-hand Glide. In all cases, the freeze happens with the screen off and a race condition ensues discharging the battery (even when plugged into power). Searching around, I've seen a good number of references to this problem:
androidforums.com/samsung-captivate-glide/462710-freeze-ups-anyone.html
gsmarena.com/samsung_i927_captivate_glide-reviews-4071.php
comparecellular.com/cell-phones/galaxy-s-glide
but I have not been able to find any resolution. Sometimes I feel like this: xkcd.com/979 . In essence I'm trying to determine if this is a hardware fault or something which can be fixed by software. Seeing minimal Glide development does not help since there are very limited options for ROMs. Since this device did get a nod for ICS, there's still hope in that, but until then have to suffer.
Anyone seen a resolution other than exchange? Warranty?
Unfortunately, this is quite common but there are few users that did not had any freezes since day one of their Glides.
One issue is, you have your Google calendar sync and you have "Auto Sync" active. This leads for the Calendar to Sync improperly during sleep mode resulting in a sync loop, which makes the device unresponsive thus, wont wake up upon pressing power/lock key. Solution, uncheck the "Auto Sync" function in Settings, Manually sync everything, or uncheck the "Sync Calendar on your Google account.
The other thing which is very common, is leaving wifi on while charging. This results on the same issue above but the reason is not clear. I experience this one in 1 out of 5 chances, so I turn wifi off or set the wifi sleep policy to "when screen turns off" in Settings. Happens on stock and custom ROM(s), except when Cranium Kernel is flashed.
In conclusion, I never thought that these are hardware issues ATM, for my previous Samsung devices also have these, but is eliminated by updating firmware, or flashing a custom ROM.
Thank you for the suggestions. I will verify wifi sleep policy as well as disable calendar sync to see if it helps. And now that there is some activity regarding ICS for this unit, maybe I'll get to test a new ROM to see if it helps.
thanks again
Neither unsynching google+calendars, or the WiFi+charging solutions worked for me.
Is there any hope for those of us with no immediate remedy?
Has Samsung even acknowledged that this is an issue?
When do you predict us getting an ICS update that will solve the issue?
Its a damn shame since I'm ****in loving this phone so far, yet i can't even use it when I want to sometimes.
Well yeah....I can confirm. I reflashed my device and restore my apps...did not do any mods and whatnot. Used it for a day and charged it overnight, no internet. And bam! Sleep Death. Like i said, this is common, and does not think that this is a hardware issue for a lot is experiencing it. So for now, dont left your glide charging overnight, or if you will, download a night clock, or use the stock desk clock. You will have a clock beside you and will keep your device awake all night.
Interesting, I don't have that "sleep death" issue.
Do you have any idea when we'll receive the ICS update?

The issue you addressed is so called "sleep death." A few weeks past, ATT announced that 10 of their devices will get ICS in less than a month (including the Glide). No word from Rogers when will they update their version of the device.
Unfortunately AT&T did not state when they would push the update as well they only named the devices that will get it.
Has Samsung acknowledged the Sleep Death issue, and whether they will resolve it in the next OTA update?

I believe Samsung is already knowledgeable about the issue....unfortunately, it is not that easy to make a software update just to solve 1 problem (on the contrary to the Captivate SGH-I897 with GPS issues on Eclair, ATT immediately released a FW update within less than 2 weeks to fix it). And, even though I said the Sleep Death is quite common, not all of the users have this, so again, maybe unless a considerable large number of users (or all users) experience this, they might look into it. So I also believe that Samsung (along with ATT/Rogers) will correct the issue on the next update. When? Heaven knows.
If you are experiencing the sleep death more than twice a day, without doing anything, or if you believe non of your installed programs is at fault, and you are still in your return period, I suggest you exchange your device. You might get a unit that is unaffected. My Sleep Death only occurs when I left the phone charging for extended periods of time, like charging overnight which I always do. As I've mentioned, I keep the device awake like installing a night clock application or activating the stock desk clock app.
Well I'm going to try turning on the night clock app this night and see if that stops the sleep death.
And I bought the phone second hand off craigslist. Even if its within the 90-day period, I doubt I'll get any warranty/return ability as I am not the original customer.
interesting problem, will this should hold me back from buying it when my friends will be in the states?

I can't say.....but in my case, the issue is not really that serious in my part. As I said, when I left my device plugged in extended periods of time, then the Sleep Death might trigger....but I never experience any Sleep Deaths while the phone is unplugged and using it throughout the day (on the contrary of the OP's post). In fact, my last sleep death was 10 days previous....it's been reliable and does the job.

I got the sleep death once. It just happened but I have not had it again. I must admit it is scary but I heard you can flash another rom as that is supposed to fix it. I do have the stock rom from Rogers and have not rooted yet.

Well that is a good sign....when did you experience? how? please keep your observations. for me, I can replicate the issue by plugging/charging it....I do also have the stock Rogers ROM and I am rooted......my only tip is, don't leave your Glide charging in extended periods (more than 3-4 hours or so).
i have a therory about that, as some other user mentaioned when they useed adracat kernel (that is OC) the problem is gone. maybe samsung uses a underclocked tegra2 prossesor and that tha problem.

No the charging for extended periods does not matter. Every night I set my phone to charge at around Midnight and unplug it at around 6:30 AM. I also have Wifi on. I heard it was WIFI and charging that did it. Luckily I am not experiencing it. Gabby did you flash and install the Clock Work Mod? I am thinking about it.

this is exactly what I am experiencing....and I can replicate this issue about 8/10 times....well this should hopefully be fixable via FW update (like my SGH-I896 from 2.1 to 2.2).
Yes I have CWMR installed and is very handy....I am now going back to flash OsiMood ROM for I think I already know what triggers the Sleep Death specially in stock ROMs....
Will flashing a new ROM be an issue for me when the OTA ICS update drops?
I read that rooting your phone would be problematic when ICS comes.
If its not an issue, which ROM should I use that will get rid of the Sleep Death issue?
And suppose the ICS fixes the sleepdeath. Will I be able to unroot my phone and revert it back to stock so that I can put ICS on it?
Sorry for the long post!

Some people have stated that once you install a Rooted Rom you will no longer get pushed the updated from your service provider. They stated this from Gingerbread 2.3.5 to 2.3.6
In order to go back to stock you have to somehow back up what you have before you flash anything or find it on the web. I am not sure about this but have heard of others doing this.
Your other option is use a ROM that someone cooks with ICS when it becomes available. I have heard of many people toying with getting this set up.
Alright so not even a week ago got my Nexus coming from a Charge so don't know if maybe there's something I'm missing or overlooking, but when running stock then Liquid Smooth 1.4 I have a signal and data (even though I have poor signal strength, don't know if that might be part of the problem.) So when trying to flash any other rom/kernel combination I won't have a signal and I'll start roaming and won't connect to data. I've looked and couldn't find anyone else with the same problem. I've tried AOKP, MIUI.us, Black Ice with Franco, IMO Lean, Popcorn etc. I did a clean install and have the newest radios (even tried the leaked 404 radios) but to no avail. I'm hoping there's something I overlooked but I dunno. ANY help would be MUCH appreciated as I would definitely like to try out some of these awesome roms (not that there's anything wrong with LS) because that's the whole reason for getting rid of my Charge (lack of development) And no, none of the roms I flashed were GSM versions. Thanks in advanced to anyone who can help!
Well that's interesting... my first thought would have been that the activating screen at the beginning after every flash takes a little more "juice" or power to get a reliable signal, but if you're going back to LS and it connects fine every time, then it couldn't be that... have you tried going back to stock and seeing how your phone reacts to that?

I know that before I flashed LS there were no signal/roaming issues. That's actually a thought I had today at work and was going to use my nandroid from before LS when I was still stock. Also I am going to try flashing from stock. Didn't think it would be an issue coming from LS as long as I wiped everything but we'll see. Got my fingers crossed and if anyone else can think of something it might be please feel free to let me know. It's frustrating to want to try out some new rom goodness and can't get service/roaming... Thank god for nandroids
I dont know if this is a problem with my phone or the ROM. This seems to happen intermittently and I dont know what to do about it. It drives me crazy especially when I am trying to text or do anything. Sometimes and it seems more frequent lately, when I unlock my phone and go to text or send an email and I am in the middle of typing.... all of a sudden, the search menu pops up repeatedly. Once this happens I stop touching the screen completely and it just keeps popping up and down continuously like I am pressing the search button at the bottom of my screen. It will do this for several minutes, sometimes longer. Then it goes away and I dont see it again for days. But it keeps happening.
Has anyone else experienced this kind of problem?
Things I have tried with no success... 1. check for debris stuck on the screen near the search button. 2. dirty screen. 3 replaced screen protector. 4. removed screen protector. 5. removed phone protector (otterbox) completely, no screen protector either, just phone.
None of these have stopped this menu popping problem. Please help? Should I just take this phone back and try and get a replacement? I am sure that if I do that, the tech wont be able to duplicate the problem. UUGHH!!
UPDATE: Found this thread about the same thing and, yes, it looks like low signal and ICS combo on 3G could be the culprit.

First off, it sounds like you have a messy situation with your phone pooping often. Kidding aside, I am having the same issue. I really thought it was faulty touch sensors. I am currently using AKOP build 7/20 and the issue seems to sporadically pop up. I am glad I am not the only one

Sprint is literally MADE of these phones.
They have so many that they're pushing them to Boost mobile.
Politely demand a replacement, insist that the issue is covered.
You will have no problem getting what you need.

Thank you for the advice. I will try it. Not sure if I should put my OS back to stock before taking in or not. I am currently running SuperGalaxy v1.3(FF18) ICS 4.04. Suggestions?

I called the Sprint store where I bought the phone and asked them about it and they said they were having a lot of similar issues since the latest OTA update. However, I told them mine has been doing it months before the OTA update, which is true. She suggested I bring it in nad have the tech look at it. So I will probably do that but should I put the OS back to stock first?

If you're running a safe recovery such as agat's, etc, then I believe a simple factory reset would suffice.
I'm somewhat new to the android os, so my statement above may need verified.
But I'm no greenhorn when it comes to getting these phones replaced: this is my fourth one!
The safest bet (and what I would do) is to ODIN back to ff18 stock. Or el29 even. Whatever.
Good luck! That button issue would be unbearable for me!

its not random..its when your in a low signal area.
I too thought it was faulty hardware buttons, but there was a thread here somewhere that mentioned it happens when in low signal area that caused the "menu" button to be pushed. this has been happening on my phone and others before ICS OTA.
not sure why its been happening, nor do i know of a fix

I am certainly in a low signal area. In fact, my signal is almost non-existant. What I dont understand is why roaming doesnt kick in and use whatever signal is available. I know that AT&T has signal boosters in my building and the signal is very strong. Maybe the signal issue is causing the problem but I have not seen that thread. I will do some searching and if I find it I will post here.
Same problem with my phone. Just got back from vacation, 10hr drive both ways using the phone for navigation there and back home, so the phone was in my line of sight the whole time. It always did it in low signal or slow data areas, or when data roaming kicked in. I have poor reception at the house and it starts as soon as I turn off the wifi.
Local sprint store is ordering me new phone. I'm running stock EL29..

So if you are running stock EL29 then that would rule out ICS as part of the problem. We are left with low signal on 3G. I have been watching closely over the past day and it only happens on my phone when low/no signal and no wifi. If I am connected to wifi then it doesnt do it. I am sure if I put my phone in airplane mode it wouldnt do it either. I will test that today.
New phone (like new replacement), no more problems.

its real nice to finally have some ICS goodness on my phone, but i have found some issues.
my Motorola Roadster 2 bluetooth speakerphone does not work well with this version of ICS. will not let me use the call/text button.
i am finding some apps not working correctly, i.e. Pushover - the notifications do not make a sound. Not sure if that is an app issue, or an ICS issue.
*edit* ok so it seems that i am not getting any notification sounds. sms, voicemail, etc...
also the volume in general does not seem as loud as the 2.3.6 firmware was.
anyone else find any issues?
*UPDATE* after wiping within cwmr most of my issues were no longer present. the only problem i had still was that notification sounds didnt work after a couple hours. i dont know the cause, but i used audio manager widget and set the profile to loud, and restarted phone. havent had them go out since.
I have all these issues except tue bluetooth thing

i am going to reflash my phone to see if it may be an issue with not clearing out the phones memory and storage first...
My wifi didn't work for a while. It would see my access point but wouldn't connect. Reset the router and everything went back to normal. GPS works, Stereo BT/OBEX works, 4G works, camera works. Those were my big items, as I'm sure they are most people's.
My only issues are that I can't switch to 2g (At&t rom....) and how friggin Touch-wizzy everything is. I was expecting them to embrace the whole holo thing a lot more, but all the buttons feel like they belong in GB, same with the notification menu and the settings icons.
EDIT: I am on rogers, in case any rogers people see this so they know that everything works on our network
i wiped via cwmr and reflashed the ics rom. notifications work again. have not rooted yet, wondering if that may have been an issue with it...
Changing the lcd DPI causes the rom to corrupt i guess, since when i do it, after the reboot, i get to the samsung "logo" and then black screen, and it feels like the device has shut down. The only app that would say "success" when i change the value is Lcd Density Modder.
- i had the notification sound bug, but then i changed the notification sounds to my likings, and then i used Audio Manager widget to set the volume loud, no problems ever since.
ok rooted and all is fine. maybe i just had a bad flash. my bluetooth speakerphone still doesnt work, but that is an issue that i will have to research
For me, i had the only issue with ICS (excluding the known thing with the keyboard not flashing) - timezones from 2011 year with wrong summer times.
Luckyly fixed it with timezone fixer from google play.
Tethering doesn't work, seems to be broken and results in a blackscreen.. Both Usb and Wifi Hotspot give this issue.. Anyone else getting this
One weird thing my phone does is when it's been asleep for a while, the lockscreen clock will fall behind and when I wake it up, it'll catch up a couple dozen minutes at a time.

I've rogers version but unlocked and working with a local carrier. Wifi is not a problem at all, i'm getting the same speed and used wifi continuously for over 2 hrs to download all my apps back after the update.
When typing with the keyboard, pressing the alt. Key once makes it select all the special characters. I liked the older one where if you press it once, it operates just once when selecting the special character, and pressing it twice makes it select more than one. Not that big of an issue but to some people it may be.
Also, the brightness thing. When I turn off the screen, and turn it on again, it flashes from the highest brightness to the current.

On AT&T here, and having wifi issues as well... Once the phone drops wifi at idle, it doesn't want to pick it back up unless I turn wifi off and back on again. Setting the wifi to never sleep has been my only workaround.
Also having some issues with the button backlights. If I don't touch the phone long enough for the button backlight to turn off, touching the buttons won't turn the light back on. Touching the screen turns the backlight on again, but it's slightly annoying.
I haven't noticed any wifi issues and I use my Glide exclusively as a wifi device. I'm copying my backup of Inception v2 back right now though because the battery drain on the ICS ROM is definitely an issue. Losing like 10% an hour with my phone just sitting there with the screen off.

Have you ever took note of your battery life with a custom ROM or kernel? When I picked up my Glide it had a stock ROM but I only had it for an hour before I put a custom on it. I didn't mess with the stock one at all so I can't compare to stock 2.3.5/6. But with Inception v2/ardatdat, it was definitely better.
I was going to restore my backup but copying it back to my phone made me realize how painful it is to copy backups with CWMR 6 compared to 5. That new blobs folder makes so many files that it took 3 hours to copy 3 of my backups over USB. Ouch.
But since last night, the battery life seems to be behaving better. Its been sitting here and not just dying. I'm wondering if it could be the battery stats file. Maybe I'll try wiping it. I'm sure once we get a lower voltage kernel and I can underclock with profiles for the screen-off and stuff, it'll be fine again.
Unrelated but has anyone taken a screenshot with the ROM yet? ICS is supposed to have it built in, power button + volume down at the same time for a few seconds from what I read, but didn't seem to work.
Edit: Its home + power button at the same time.

when you flashed ICS did you wipe everything then run the ics installer? my first install sound and such didnt work, so i wiped the phone in cwmr and reflashed ics and it is better that it was on 2.3.6
