I'm not talking about the image of the signal, I'm talking about the actual signal. My Vibrant seems to be getting horrible reception in places that I normally get great reception. Is there a new radio or a setting somewhere that I can change? I'm getting almost no signal with 3g on, but decent signal with it off.
Thanks in advance.

Flash the JI6 radio, i get flawless reception inside buildings etc.
Is there a simple way to do this? Without ODIN?
Someone needs to explain the difference between 3g and edge.
I know that shouldn't make a difference, I'm just saying.

Yes it will. T-Mobile's edge network is stronger than their 3g network. They basically have two different networks.. unlike ATT.
Is the new J16 radio been packaged to a zip alone?
I would also like to see the JI6 modem packaged in a standalone update zip file. I'd love the update without installing a new buggy rom and I don't trust Odin, already bricked me once.
Bionix 1.5 comes with the JI6 modem and it is not buggy at all. It is very close to stock with minor tweaks for performance. I suggest you use that. I've been using it without flaw.

If people flash that rom or any other rom for that matter won't they still need to odin back to stock to receive updates and 2.2 when it arrives? I myself prefer not to mess with odin either after reading some of the issues on here. Its one of the reasons why I have not flashed any roms and probably won't.

1. Ppl who have rooted will Most likely have a 2.2 update with dev sprinkles the first few hours after they get the source which someone will dump after getting the OTA or maybe sammy will be nice enough to make it available upon the OTA release.
2. ODIN does more good then harm. It is the only thing that can bring you back from a brick. As long as you read enough & understand what you are doing before being flash happy then you will see how great the development is & you will enjoy its benefits.

+1 for the JI6 modem!
And yeah it's sort of a given that you will likely have to flash back to JFD to be recognized for an OTA...
Just keep in mind HOW OTA's work. They're generally pushed out in batches of phones rather than all at once. All at once would just be unmanageable. On balance those of us who do routinely use Odin will be able to get the version pushed via OTA quicker than most...primarily because we're an impatient lot.
Even as simple as it is on the Galaxy S phones to do (given you do your homework of course) experimenting with firmwares isn't for everybody...

Tell that to my hardware disabled Vibrant that had to get exchanged out because it couldn't be unbricked. Not taking that risk again on a hardware locked Vibrant.
As for Bionix 1.5, I'm using 1.4 but if I understand correctly the BT issue won't be corrected until 1.6.
For some reason with the J16...I'm getting more bars in NYC Subway systems.. I can talk even longer before it cuts off...I know ppl are jealous lol
If you have any issue with froyo what so ever I would HIGHLY RECOMEND you use the guide to upgrade to eb13 in the dev section and odin eb13. This was my first time using odin. Which I had to go from dk28 ext4 to eclair and then to eb13. It was very easy and it runs sooooo awesome. No lag or any issue what so ever.
Epic 4g
Also it seems like most of the issues that some of you are having is because there is a few different methods to upgrade to froyo. Those methods may not wipe cache and data like it should, odin wipes everything. The odin method is the cleanest and the safest method. And you are gauranteed a bad ass phone afterwards.
Epic 4g
I am no expert in these matters, but I believe that using the ODIN process to go to DI18 then to EB13 is a waste. I think the .exe file on the Samsung website completely obliterates all of your phone data (not SD card data), and loads the new OS. I went from DK28 to EB13. I lost root and ALL of my in phone data. That is part of a complete device wipe.
My phone is running really well so far.
You are suppose to back up data or use titanium back up. Re root using the old 2.5

Sorry I wasn't clear. I KNEW it would be a full wipe, and had my stuff backed up. I was just trying to explain why I think ODIN to DI18 is useless compared to .exe on Samsung site.
For the record I am already rerooted and have selective things restored.
I'm currently running MeatROM v106.1 with eb13 overclocked kernel with ext4 by rodderick and the eb13 modem. My phone is so wicked fast and surprisingly smooth. Idk if I want to change my ROM when new ones come out for fear that it will dissappoint. I was sitting in my living room and tried google maps after replacing my modem. It got within 1 meter in about 5 seconds. My phone is 100% perfect right now.

These phones are almost unbrickable so I wouldn't let that stop you also the rooting process is extremely easy. You just run a file from your pc and your rooted

My video recorder also seems kinda stuttery. Used the update.zip. the official one. Not too big a problem for me though. I'm sure if its fixable, itll get fixed down the line.

Search for the app "Z4root"...it's not in the market, but is here on xda. Used it right from the phone to root my epic and it was fantastic. the app froze a couple times, but I just rebooted the phon and tried again... worked just fine. As far as I know it's (almost totally) impossible to brick your phon with z4root.
Epic is as Epic does
Also I don't use the auto screen rotate

wow that was couragously fast. see, no brick
I flashed to eb13 and found my epic running slightly slower than when I used the update.zip. could really see it in the launcher. Ended up flashing back to eclair and then using update.zip. and could not be any happier.
I never had the auto-rotational bug some of you talk about and I will be the first to admit that there is no reason why one should be different than the other.

I went from bonsai dk28 and used the .exe from the samsung site and went straight to eb13 and my phone runs wonderfully. The odin method is a waste of time honestly. No point in flashing back to di18 then eb14. Just use the samsung file. It does everything for you.

well everyone said you needed the di18 modem so i just wanted to make sure it was flawless and no issues. and thats what i got flawless so waste of time not at all considering how many people are having issues with the way that you upgraded. it took 23 seconds for me to flash through odin
I know I'm sure I saw this asked already and apologize but I'm completely new to all this and dont know what roms to use or anything. So any suggestions would be awesome. And am I even asking in the right area? Haha

You'll get lots of differing opinions, here's mine. (I know that this won't make any friends here)
None of the current batch of ROMS is solid yet. They each have a fatal flaw. I've tried a few but ended up back on stock EB13 with the camera fix kernel flashed over it. And frankly if you flash stock EB13 using the Samsung installer it's pretty good right out of the box.
And, regardless of what people tell you flashing an Epic is not trivial for a noob. Just read all the frantic posts from people trying to figure out why their phone won't boot. Before you get started be sure you know what Odin is and how to use it (and which PIT files go with which PDA files), what the difference between EXT4 and RFS is and which version of clockwork you can use with each, and what deodexed means. There are enough variable that you have to get right that a little knowledge can save you hours, maybe days of wasted time.
If you have to try one, read the WHOLE thread before flashing and see what's now working yet. If you decide that doesn't matter to you, flash away.

Good advice here.
Regarding roms, I have to say that I think the new SyndicateROM Frozen 1.0 (1.0.1 is almost out) is a solid replacement from stock. People have had issues with bad flashes (thx CW3) but once it's installed properly the battery lasts hours longer, it's incredibly quick, and has a number of improvements over stock. Keep in mind I wasn't using roms before this due to requiring the stability of stock (was on the stock rooted EB13), but am in heaven since I switched over. The rom is amazing. None of the instability issues I have had with my previous phones+roms.
I haven't tried the Bonzai rom though, heard that was stable and good as well.

Agreed. SyndicateROM seems to be the best and most stable ROM right now. That is until CM7 is done. Then everyone will burn out to Gingerbread.
By the way...did you go with Ext4 or RFS?
I have not had any issues with viper frozen or trulyepic. Trulyepic was my first. Very simple both flashy and stable. Ext4 is super fast too.

Simply AOSP is great with the Genocide kernel.
fwiw i use midnight rom 4.0. been solid for me.
different folks, different strokes....
ive been on viper for awhile now and have no complaints.. everything works for me.. looks awesome,runs great.
Also been on Viper for the last few releases. Have not had issues as of yet. You'll get quite a few opinions, but all the devs here do a great job on their roms.
Samsung Epic ViperROM 4.0.4 Genocide kernel
I intend on trying multiple roms......right now I am on the sideline waiting for some of the significant issues (ie CIQ) to be resolved before I flash. Only a day or two away I believe.
When I first came to the Epic modding world, I started off using ViperRom. ViperRom has a lot of those cutting edge, sometimes experimental, mods. The new toys (and their themes are generally aesthetically pleasing) are nice, but may cause stability issues. I then switched to MidNightRom and was VERY pleased with it. It is based off the Bonsai ROM and is slimmed down for performance and stability. No complaints there, But I am currently using the ACS Frozen ROM, and I am VERY pleased with it as well. Speed and performance all around. So far, that is all I have tried.
Everything will vary based on user, but all the devs here put a lot of work into what they do and any ROM you flash will be an upgrade from stock in my opinion.
Try Frankenstein. I prefer bare.

Midnight has always been good, and the next versions of Bonsai and Syndicate are both looking real interesting, I wish they'd drop already. I've been sitting on the sidelines using stock EB13 waiting for them. Should be out any minute now.

Don't forget about Supernova. Been running it for 4 days and only have 1 problem. On you tube it plays the sound through the ear speaker not the louder speaker.
I think they have a new Rom coming soon and will give it a try.

Yay. I can confirm the following bugs after using OTA ED01 for a couple hours:
1) 50% time w/o signal bug still there. Still need airplane toggle after boot.
2) Browser scrolling choppy as ever.
3) Pop email client still snaps to top of list after reading each email.
4) battery issues / wakelock needs more testing
Now then, we know Samsung and VZW were not working on fixing any bugs in the last several months that they have been sitting on this code. All bugs from froyo leaks 2.5 months ago are still in there.
Seems to me there was 0 priority put on this update, since it was delivered extremely late and still chock full of bugs. My assessment is Samsung is way understaffed AND integrating bing caused some negative interactions between the companies involved. I won't buy another Samsung... and probably should move off of VZW.

We'll have to see how it goes fellow chicagoland resident. I odin'd and ota'd to get the new radio and frameworks and files were compared lastnight and there is some differences in the frameworks between EC01 and ED01 so I'm gonna run themeless until I have time to port my theme over to the new frameworks. Initial impression I have is my data speeds are a little higher and more constant. But I'll give it a go traveling about the city today.
Oh, @OP the tws bug is not limited to our device. It's a froyo thing that many devices suffer from. Google it.
good day.
Everything looks good here... Besides battery life. I just did the ota at 9:30 this morning after about an hour **** has drained 30%. Oh well. I was using heavily, im gonna flash the debloated one and wipe bstats and what not to see if I get some improvement.

My wife and I have this phone. I am running EB01 Superclean and I just odin'd her phone to stock last night and upgraded to OTA ED01. So far, no time without signal bug, browser does not seem choppy, no wakelocks so far. Maybe you should odin to stock and start fresh if you have not done so already. I think that this can fix a lot of issues. No doubt that after brief testing my Superclean w/ -100 imnuts kernel is kicking the snot out of a stock ED01 froyo so far. But I always give it a week for the battery to calibrate and settle so I will report back.
i also have superclean 2.9.2 (nv). i'm not sure if i want to go back to stock and do the official ota because I finally LIKE my phone for the first time since... November? I really liked it for the first month (Oct) when I thought the OTA was due any day... but since then, not so much. but after installing superclean a week or so ago, suddenly i don't care about the ota. unless i hear from one of you more experienced gurus that it's the way to go, that is. I love that I don't have all that bloat on my phone. If i do the ota, I presume the bloat will come with it, and I've heard of people then cleaning up the phone... how is that different from what I already have? should I stay put or is there a distinct advantage to doing the ota and then cleaning it up? any advice and logic behind it would be appreciated. thanks.
Wife and I both have fasc I odin'd her back to stock took ota she so far has not been able to make calls out off and on all day she could answer tho...?? However..

i also have superclean 2.9.2 (nv). i'm not sure if i want to go back to stock and do the official ota because I finally LIKE my phone for the first time since... November? I really liked it for the first month (Oct) when I thought the OTA was due any day... but since then, not so much. but after installing superclean a week or so ago, suddenly i don't care about the ota. unless i hear from one of you more experienced gurus that it's the way to go, that is. I love that I don't have all that bloat on my phone. If i do the ota, I presume the bloat will come with it, and I've heard of people then cleaning up the phone... how is that different from what I already have? should I stay put or is there a distinct advantage to doing the ota and then cleaning it up? any advice and logic behind it would be appreciated. thanks.

Anyone using EC01 or ED01 notice similar situation where 3G bounce in and out of connectivity constantly? Originally thought it was Community Rom, but later change to Evil Fascinate 3.4 and 3.3.2 with same issue. Downgrade to EC01 and same issue. Here are some pictures of it.
Did *228, wipe cache, wipe data, wipe devik, and all of that each time. No idea what's going on.

* I'll start playing around with various RADIO and see which one will give me the stable I am looking for. Thanks for the info...
DJ05>DL09>EA28>EB01>EC01>ED01
So far
ED01 - unstable
EC01 - unstable
EB01 - currently on....
Will try both Evil Fascinate & Community Rom 1.1 with each radio
TBH, that's happened to me on every radio. At first ill think the new radio is the culprit, but once I think about it my Fascinate has always had issues with reception. I believe its a hardware issue.

I did not experience this until the community from. Evil fascinate has not given me the issue.

I would try a different radio.
I've tried both EC01 and ED01. I guess I'll try the next older one.

Not that we need another thread on this issue, but I started one of my own because I want to draw attention to the fact that I pulled a logcat (radio) file trying to help with this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051543
I've gone through all of the RADIO till date. One thing I can confirm as someone had suggested or eluded to....
By going to EC01/ED01 some how hosed the hardware. I even went back to stock DL09 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044474) and the 3G still goes in and out....
*sigh*

While that only mentions 4G going down it's pretty easy to connect the dots, even if this is anecdotal, the fact it is affecting stock users and others alike is enough for me to not worry, simply relax and wait for them to sort it out.
Yeah, hmmm. I'm still baffled how my wife's DX can be right next to me and have perfect data?

Seriously?
Look in community rom thread as well as BGR or simple google news search. Verizon has been having issues all day.
Its reported on a great number of phones (not just fascinate), stock or not, 3G and 4G.
also, i'm on a rom'd phone and having no issues.....

Sorry for wanting to see what jamesnmandy found. Shame on me.
Mine is coming back online here, sketchy and slow but getting better slowly.

its good to know that its almost surely something on verizons end of things. this has been bothering me for about a week. i figured it might have been particular radio files or something like that, then it happened on a stock rom and i started to doubt the integrity of my phone.
hopefully there will be a timely fix.
