Phone rotates slow on DK28

does anyone else have slow rotation rates on DK28? My wifes phone that is completely stock on DI18 rotates almost instantly. mine was slow on the froyo beta which was to be expected, but DK28 I thought was supposed to be the released version or very close. if it rotates this slow, either mine is broken or this isn't ready for primetime.

My phone doesn't rotate at all on my stock di18

Yes, this is actually the reason I am going to go back to stock because I can't stand it. Its not just slow it rotates whenever I don't want it to and then for the life of me I can't get it to go back.

No, when you go to Froyo (DK28) and then decide to either flash back or Odin back down to Eclair (DI18), somehow, the accelerometer never works again. Froyo had a settings option to calibrate the screen, and as most of us do, we see a new setting, we gotta tweak it, right!?? Apparently, that did something to make the accelerometer inoperable when we went back to DI18.
Still waiting for any advice that does NOT involve rooting the phone...to get the accelerometer back on DI18...

I flashed back from DK28 to DI18 to get my gps working and then flashed back to DK28; accelerometer is working. Its not instant rotation like before but, it does work.

Everythings pretty much working for me, nothing too bad.
The acceleramotor has about a two second delay on the home screen for me. Everyone else its fine.

The fix does require you to root the phone.

Nope its enable on my display&settings option. Its just not working anymore. I have to flip my keyboard out for it to rotate now. I could have sworn i could rotate the first two days i had it.

same thing with my phone but i'll take the gps finally working and slow rotation any day
*edit* gps working most of the time outdoors anyhow

everyone has to do that, it only rotated the homescreen before the very first update.
but if you go into say text messaging and flip the phone, it should flip instantly, not 5 seconds later. well at least it does on the di18. I hope the real froyo over the air isn't like this or samsung needs to stop working on the nexus s and fix this crap.

I had DK28 since the day it was released on XDA and i used ODIN to go back to 2.1 because I had to take my phone in for service and my accelerometer works perfectly fine.

It's been posted several times already. I suggest saving it:

For all with locking issues, fc's, and other annoying stuff...

I would just like to put this out in the open for those with serious issues with ec05. My epic recently was going absolutely bonkers. From randomly frequent freezes to framework fc's. My phone now is in perfect working order. What I found that screwed everything up for me was the stock odin of ec05. The version I had (EC05 FULL) was causing these issues. If you have the same issues try this...
Odin back to eb13 and upgrade to ec05 ota instead of flashing ec05 from the get go. What I found was that the version I had must of been modded in one way or another. Not only that but when I redownloaded ec05 full I couldn't extract with winrar. I get getting a file is corrupt message. Anywho if your having issues try the above. After the above I have absolutely no issues. No freezes, no fc's, and my battery life is back to top notch and the phone flies! Cheers!

Im gonna say a mojor percentage of problems are coming from the kernels,I am now using DRockstar's kernel,and no problems at all. So for me its either "clean kernel 1.02" or "Twilight Zone 1.0.4" for the most stable ROM. I dont disagree with what you have said,but I think the bigger problem is the kernels.

Im sure it is too. Not negating that. A software issue wouldnt make my screen artifact and turn into a dark yellow haze. Lol I swear I thought my phone was done. At one point the phone locked up and the screen went black with just 3 blue and red pixels. After flashing my phone a crapload of times since ec05 came out this has been the surefire way to get ec05 to work properly. From a stock rom standpoint atleast. I believe we still don't have the official ec05 tar right? If so next time you decide to flash from scratch try this method instead. My phone hasn't run this well since acs 2.1 shuriken. That says ALOT lol

The only real stock EC05 was put out by K0nane and ACS. All other tars were modded and prerooted.

Syndicate Frozen lags, what could it be?

Ok I posted a few weeks back about my phone being a little laggy when I first started it up but it started becoming progressively worse even with closing all running apps in the settings>applications>running services thing cause I thought there might be a lot running but that didn't help.
So last night thinking a fresh start would help I reflashed the newest syndicate frozen rom and my phone is still being a little slower than I would want not to mention slower than everyone elses reviews. And on top of that my battery drain iis pretty bad (dropped like 20% in the last hour with moderate use).
So I was just wondering if there's any way to pinpoint what might be causing this (like certain apps running) or a way to try and correct it? Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks

Not sure what it is but ill give my experience. A while ago I had the same issue. Turn out there was something wrong with the stock ec05 tar. I had a modified version and didn't know it. No matter what rom I flashed it didn't perform well. Also, I use my epic is my main form of internet use. Most roms and mods I dl str8 to my phone. Well, it also turns out that downloading roms str8 onto the sd card game me some errors. Probably because of some fault in the data. Redownload everything you need. When you odin back to ec05 format your sd card also. Should do the trick unless there's something wrong with your phone.

One thing that might help is if you have Titanium backup or Mybackup Root freeze DRM content and SNS services. Also are you running setcpu? If so try removing it to see if that helps. If it does then your setting are off and you need to tweak your settings. Do you have journaling enabled? Another thing what kernel are you using? I liked Vision kernel over Twilight some have also mentioned Genocide being good also. I am NOT saying Twilight is a bad kernel just it does give some people issues with certain setups.

Thanks for the response. I already had drm frozen, just froze sns (what does that do?), so we'll see how that helps. I also uninstalled setcpu to see if theres any improvement there.
Im running twilight kernel, maybe if the problems persist ill have to try out another one. With kernels all I do is flash? Will any info be lost or wil I have to wipe etc? Or just flash and your good to go?
Thanks again

In the development section in the sticky about bringing ur phone back from bricked. Look at my post. (Its the last few) use that eb13 to odin. That one always works 100%.
Also, don't use twilight 1.1 that came with srf. I've tested it and it has several issue's. Use genocide. (Genocide 1.1 was posted on pages 195-199 I believe)

I'm definitely going to check into using the genocide kernel. I'm not quite sure I fully understand what a kernel does and what the differences would be to change so much? Do I have to clear data before flashing it?

Just flash the kernel no need for wipe. Just make sure you nan first.

Thanks everyone! I just rewiped and reflashed the SFR 1.1.1 again and it seems to be working fine so far.
I haven't installed all the apps I had before and don't plan on it because I have all I need on it now and it could have been an unnecessary app causing problems or just a bad wipe but either way so far so good.
Ill post back if theres any issues in the next few days. Thanks again.

Flash the genocide kernel 1.1.
"The greatest respect you can earn is self respect" Louie Simmons

Ok so I reflashed and it was working perfectly, buttery smooth no lag nothing. I was completely happy. I charged my phone and used it until about 10% turned it off and replaced the battery with a 100% charged one I have as a backup.
Once I turned it on it began lagging again, as well as draining the battery quicker than before and on top of that it did an old problem I had that I didn't mention before which when you turn off the screen it turns back on showing the lock screen then goes off after about 5 seconds.
I have no idea what it could be and why it magically came bac after a shut down/reboot :/
Also if I switch to the genocide kernel do I have t reinstall all my apps again or does it just flash and keep all info? Do I have to wipe data/cache?
Thanks again

You have to wipe cache and dalvik, then flash Genocide. It will retain all data.

OP updated with a method to root stock EH06.

I updated today and am generally pleased. It is fast, no lag, some improvements in appearance.
Sadly, the keyboard is still an issue. It misses letters like before.
The biggest miss is the "Logs" on the Talk screen. It remains unconsolidated, unlike a true Gingerbread device. My son's Nexus consolidates the Log to one entry per contact, then you click them to see the activity. With this, if you trade 20 texts with someone, you get 20 lines of the same person. It was utterly ridiculous in a beta version and to still have it in 2.3.x is just inexcusable.
Aside from that though, all is smooth. Used Odin to root with CWM, flashed SU, and life is better.
UPDATE: GPS will not lock. When it does and it loses it, it won't come back. Also, there is no "back" function on the stock browser. Hitting the previous screen key closes the browser.

I've tried this on windows xp and my epic got bricked i can get into download mode, but the only pc that recognizes my epic is the same that bricked it, really don't know what to do, i can't odin it to stock rom or any rom, i'm kinda desperate, can anyone help me please? thanks a lot!

GPS and Gingerbread

I'm currently on my third Epic and thought I finally got one that wouldn't give me issues (The first kept locking up, the second didn't have a working proximity sensor) but the third turned out to have some crazy GPS issues.
GPS would randomly turn off and say it was trying to connect and stay that way. Even in crystal clear skys when not moving, the GPS would just not work. Sometimes it would work only to lose connection a few minutes later.
I took it into the Sprint store and the only thing they could do for me was just flash the phone back to 2.2.
Is this purely the Gingerbread update not working (when it comes to GPS) or have other people experienced no problems with GPS on stock gingerbread?
Basically I'm debating whether I should call customer service and complain until I get a new one, try the gingerbread update again and hope it works this time, or root and hope the GPS works as well.
Any help is well appreciated.

No need if you have root permissions go into es file manager ( if you have it if not get it) go into your favorites and open the / or the phone icon go to the system file then find the vendor file then go to the bin file and hold the gpsd file there and go into its properties and check this:

Make sure your checks look like that

That is not his problem. Stock EI22 has the half ass library files resulting in lock ups and very few locks. He needs to flash a custom ROM or just deodexed stock and the GPS fix containing the good library files.
