So the past few days I have been getting an error that I can't replicate under any circumstance, its totaly random. I will get a modem crash and the phone gives a ram dump notice and a reboot phone option. If I hit the reboot phone option the problem is present when rebooted. Only a battery pull fixes it. I'm on the ef02 leak with the ec05 modem. I don't have a pc to flash the ef02 and ef10 modems. Any help would be great. Thanks

This is def. and EF02 issue... had the exact same thing happen, i THINK on EF02 modem, ram dump, then a bunch if FC's, wiped, odined, etc... then went to marcusant's i3, worked great, then after about a week, I got the perma airplane mode, the modem 'dies', settings say baseband unknown, build unknown, etc, if you try to actually put in in airplane, wont come out, the option is then greyed out. Im guessing its just another GB leak issue, probly one of the ones they are working on right now... if anyone knows otherwise about either issue, let me know, I now think the only advantage of getting froyo was that GB was coming, cause its awesome, and I cant wait to get back on it!
Ive been having the same modem crashing issues. Seems like it takes about a week to crash. baseband unknown, build unknown. Odin to fix. had the same issue on EE03 but only happened twice. Running EF02 modem. I think it could be whats holding back another release. might be trying to iron the bug out. I think the EF10 modem fixes the issue. haven't done too much reading on it.. plus people have mixed feelings about EF10. i might just give t a try because of the modem crashing. if i do, i will post back results.
On a side note, can't you flash the modems from Clockwork?
I've been running the build nearly since it came out, and have yet to have this issue. I do, however in low service areas get random modem reboots, but it works just fine..
well this is not what i wanted to hear. i dont have odin on my macbook (no windows) i guess ill have to find a friend with winders on it
Here is the thread on flashing modems without Odin:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123103
I get the unknown modem crash all the time (about every other day).
The fix is actually quite simple. Just flash the EF02 kernel. No wipes needed.
I know the kernel doesn't touch the modem, but somehow it works. Which makes me think the problem isn't the modem being unstable, but the kernel. Something involving it's interaction with the modem might be prone to corruption.
But yeah, just reflash the EF02 kernel.

Try using heimdall. Its basically odin for mac and linux. I've used it many times on linux with no problems, plus it seems simpler to understand than odin.

Bingo! I have had modem issues with the GB leak no matter what modem I am using. But it seems to be more prevalent at my office where I have low signal and I bounce from Sprint to roaming all the time. At home (on my airave) with full signal I never have modem crashes. It seems to be related to low signal or switching to roaming. At work it crashes several times a day. At home with full signal I have yet to have a modem crash.
FYI, You shouldn't have to odin to get the modem back. I was doing that at first. Just shut the phone down and pull the battery for a few minutes then put it back at reboot. Modem should come back.
./
I got same issue with the stock gingerbread rom. Modem crashed after low signal / roaming. Happened with ec05 ef02 ef 10 modem.
At first I was odin a modem to fix it. But later I found out clear cache and taking out battery for few minutes fix the issue too.

Happened same with me tonight with ef10 modem. Crashed at my parents house with low signal. Just did a power cycle with battery pull and it came back up.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
It just seemed once it crashed it was less stable so I reflash the modem after these just to be sure.
I've only had to instance where the modem reboots, you hear the phone beep twice. And after it reboots itself, all is well, I've no need to reboot my phone or anything.
Are all of you without data/voice when your modem reboots?
I've had this happen twice with ef02 modem, reboot wouldn't fix, booting into clockwork and wiping cache did however.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I have tried both modems and it crashes only at low signal, unfortunately for me I have low signal at home and at work. With ef02 that things crashes ALL the time, it was just way too much but with ef10 it doesn't crash and as often as ef02, and also I don't get as many roaming as ef02.
So far ef10 its good but not perfect.

My setup: non-rooted, no mods, completely stock.
I got impatient, and used Odin to update to JI6. That all went OK, but my GPS does not seem to be any better. Now granted, I've only had JI6 for about an hour, and the only place I've really tested the GPS is my deck, but I only saw 1-2 satellites when I was out there using GPS Status.
This brings me to my next issue. The GPS Status app has locked up my phone every time I've used it so far, requiring me to pull the battery.
Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?
Nobody else is having this problem?

gps status has locked my phone up before also. Use gps test.
I didn't care much for the leaked ji6 update either. Seemed like it killed my battery. I used odin to flash back to the original rom and then went back to ji2. It's worked the best for me.

I believe he is talking about the official OTA update. He just used Odin to flash it.
What does your phone say under *#32144789650#?
No, GPS Status doesn't lock up my phone. Make sure it's operating under Standalone Mode through this menu, delete GPS data and wait for your first fix. The only time my phone ever locked up on any JIx version was when I was in MS-Based mode. I suggest that you do a reset or wipe because that's not normal behavior. I'm using GPS Status right now and it's not causing me any trouble.
Word Of Warning this Modem is crap! Went from JL5 Modem getting 5.2mg download speed to 1.2mg download speed when using this KA5 Modem. And GPS took like 5mins to lock on.was only taking like 10 secs on the JL5 modem. Was also Timing out all the time! so I switched Back!!! Stay Far away!!! Using Voodoo Axura 2.2.6 (Beast) Rom Also other people seem to be having issues too!

I wish I knew the reason behind it (other than possibly placebo effect), but I've seen this same type of reporting for basically all the leaked modems. Some say it's crap, others say it's the best yet. Just try out the newest release and make your own decission. ALso, my advice is to REALLY try it out for awhile, not run one speedtest where you're sitting then flash back because it's 5% slower.
F.Y.I. I'm not taking a shot at the OP, I realize his/her claims of speed differences are significant and KA5 may very well be a terrible modem for him/her.
Yes dis made everything on da vibrant faster so it ur own option....or ur phone is not stable for this rom.....

Im starting think it may depend on your geographic location also. JL5 worked great for me, and i flashed KA5 today, and it seems to be great also. i've noticed my battery might be falling a little faster with KA, but its a little less buggy when switching networks and what not. Progress in one way or another.
Ill prolly try it again with Nero 5.

I just flashed it so Im not sure an batt life. Reconditioning now.
I also had a big drop with KA5.
KA5 speetest = 1.3mbs
JL5 speetest = 3.5mbs
I also noticed the random signal drops with the KA5 modem. Back to JL5 for me. It is just not a stable modem.
Jl5 gave me 2 bars and I live like 8 blocks away from a t mobile tower, now with ka5 always full bar!
I flashed nero 5, which includes KA5 and its literally doubles my speeds, download from 1 to 2 to 2 to 4. If its good enough for team whiskey its plenty good for me
Maybe this is one of the reasons we don't have official 2.2. The lack of constant results
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I don't know.. but ka5 is working fine for me.. i installed the stock one with no root or cwm... just stock.. it's working fine so far. The GPS took a while to get a lock then after installing the gpsrestore, now it gets a lock fast.. my settings from j16 was all intact, even the apps that normally won't show up in the market with the leaked froyo rom are there, swiftkey, amtalee, etc. I didn't do a factory reset, just flashed through odin without a pit file...
loving it..
Or maybe the reason why the apps are in the market because this is the newest leak and the apps are available..?? the best part is, the marketplace hasn't been updated yet to the latest version, i hate the new market.. lol..oh and i can use swiftkey, the android keyboard is still not available though..
edit.. amtalee is not available in market.. ughh but still in my phone from not doing a factory reset

What's up everyone! just needed some advice if you don't mind. lately my phone's been freezing randomly, and it seems like my battery life has been getting crappier..
was wondering if I should just Odin back to stock and re-flash everything, do you think that would cure my ills?
I started with my first ROM -- srf1.1.0 and loved it... tried the vision kernel 1.1, tried genocide 1.0... LOVED vision 1.2 but went back to 1.1 because ppl started getting bricks..
i don't know if it's data corruption (have journalling off), or if it's like artifacts from vision kernel 1.2 (it didn't give me any problems, honestly my fav kernel with insane battery life it seemed)
yesterday i restored a back up that was pre-ext4.. and it when that rebooted i had the "android" flashing over the original sprint bootup animation, so i rebooted and got thrown into a boot loop. pulled battery, booted into cwm and restored into a more recent backup that was post-ext4 and things seem to be fine.. except i've gotten maybe two random freezes since.
so yea, do you think Odin to stock and reflashing srf will bring me back to bliss, or.. am i screwed, or somewhere in between? i've read as much as i could but i know i'm a newb, so i'm grateful for any wisdom y'all can throw my way. THANKS!
This is more then likely a kernel based problem,but you can try using setcpu and limit your min. clock speed to 200mhz not 100mhz,this has helped several people ; My phone loves 100mhz,never had a freeze while using that clock speed,but each phone is diffrent,and might I suggest using Twilight Zone 1.0.4,awesome kernel...

Mine did this last week, but I had reverted to rfs on 2.5.1 running Gingerbread that has some issues. When trying to put everything back (couldn't just run backup since I had changed systems), it took a day, stuck loops, stuck nothing, stuck Samsung, etc.
Read how to fix bricked phone, back to EC05, re-rooted, re did cwm 3.0, reflashed Syndicate, now everything smooth again.
I was kicking myself in the a-s for doing that, so hopefully this would help and save you a days worth of problems. Just find that link, read and follow
yea i just odin'd back to sock EB13, went to the EC05 through ODIN, reflashed SRF1.1.0 and everything's been GREAT since... getting superb battery life like i was on the vision 1.2 kernel.. weird, but i'll take it.
What version of ec05 are you guys odining back to? The version I have (EC05 FULL) was causing me all the issues I had. Instead I odined to stock eb13 and upgraded to ec05 ota. Since then im back on midNIGHT [email protected] w/ midnight honeycomb theme and I have to say this thing has never been speedier, or more stable than it is now. Also, I tried to redownload ec05 from the midnight android dev page and I get a corrupt file error when trying to unzip the .tar from the ec05 rar. I feel if ANYONE has any issues, before they blame the kernel I suggest starting from scratch on eb13. Not one freeze yet, no artifacts, no lag, no horrid battery draining. Life is good

so much that i've learned compared to when i was first starting to research what rooting meant.. and yet, still so much more to learn!
Hi all. I apologize for starting new thread. I am travelling right now and have NO access to a computer other than my epic. I am totally dependent upon my epic's gps and nav and the tapatalk search is not helping.
I upgraded to stock eg22 and then odined cwm and su to get root. Other than that, I am totally stock
The gps is freezing constantly when in navigation. It's losing signal and totally locking the driver so that the indicator up top says thereis a lock but there isn't.
Nothing gets rid of the frozen icon other than reboot. I tried gps on/off from quick menu, airplane mode, ending all tasks, turning off using deep setup menus....gps is useless until reboot.
It only seems to freeze during nav mode whereas regular maps seems ok...
Please help to point me towards a fix or workaround.
Thanks all!

This is a known bug with the leaks. I believe it is caused by the battery getting too hot. Try running it without the charger on and see if it goes further without a lockup. Best bet is to restore a froyo ROM but you will still be stuck with the EG22 modem until you get to a computer. I assume you have the EG22 modem already which is the best for GPS on EG22 leaks.
There is also a program in the market called GPS Aids (free) which some people have said worked for them. I still believe it is heat though.

You are correct that I am on eg22 modem. I didn't even think it could be battery issue from overheating. I can try leaving keyboard open too. That used to help with heat running wmwifi back in my wm days.
I'd rather try that before going back to ec05 rom, although would use flashable ec05 rom or modem if I have too as I'm here for another 6 days and need gps as the roads have no signs for 5-10 mile clips...
Thank you both!

Hehe...I tried another approach which you may have in your files somewhere, a ROM that also installs the EC05 modem regardless of what modem you are on. Bonsai had ROMs that update the modem but only checked for earlier modems before swapping, not later versions.
Good luck Josh. Another trick you can use is to use the GPS for clips at a time. If there is a 20 mile run before an exit, leave it off until you get near the exit. Then start it again from there.
Let me know if you agree about the heat problem, it is a theory I am working on.

Good idea Kenny. From what I remember reading, the freezes do seem to be after 20 to 30 minutes. I didn't even think of that. Its a lot easier than finding an e-bar or library and trying to install Sammy drivers and such. Is that even possible?...lol

Before I went on vacation last week, I flashed back to Bonsai 4.1.3 because I knew I would need my GPS for the trip. However, I forgot to flash the EC05 modem so I was still running the EG22 modem all week. During the trip my GPS would loose signal during Navigation about every hour or two, but unlike the EG22 ROMs, it would regain signal within 20-30 seconds and recover without a reboot. I've since switched back to the EC05 modem and have yet to lose GPS signal once. Just thought I would share this in case it provides any insight.

This sounds similar to the EC05 GPS crash bug. In the last EG22 GPS thread I asked folks to record a logcat so I could very if this is the problem, but nobody took up that offer.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't have your GPS crash fix, but I've never had any issue with GPS on 4.1.3, or any EC05 ROM for that matter. I use Navigation pretty extensively at one of my jobs, and it's always been reliable.
I can't compare the EG22 issue to the EC05 issue because I've never experienced one on EC05. With EG22, the GPS crashes after a period of Navigation and requires a reboot of the phone to fix it. My experience on vacation was similar, except that the GPS would recover after 20 or 30 seconds(no reboot required). This was running a EC05 ROM (bonsai 4.1.3) with the EG22 modem. Once I replaced the EG22 modem with the EC05, I was unable to replicate the issue.

I believe the EG22 issue to be different and possibly heat related. With these leaks we have had random reboots, batteries refusing to charge due to temperature and the gps freezing after an hour or so. With EC05 I had the issue where it would not lock from the start without a reboot but EG22 (and the other modems) just stop at some point and mostly require a reboot to get going again.

Certain of that? I know they've pulled in some of my fixes in the past, I'm just not sure about that one.
The EC05 GPS crash problem is due to a synchronization bug that results in interleaved requests to the modem, which gets hosed up. In practice, it happens with relatively low probability so most folks don't run into it, but it is consistently reproducable.
Now, there's probably a separate bug in EG22 that causes the GPS to puke for another reason. If the sync bug is still present, and in response to the GPS puking the RIL issues multiple request to the modem, it could cause a crash just like EC05, but it happens more frequently due to the modem bug.
With the crash bug is fixed, EG22's GPS may still puke, but as you experienced (assuming Bonsai is patched), it will likely fix itself after 20-30 seconds instead of requiriing a reboot.

Do you have reason to believe the GPS issue is related to the others, or is it because they manifest in the same leaked version?
Anyways, kernel panics and watchdog reboots are hard to debug. But a GPS crash is something we can at least log and investigate further. Which is why I'm interested in obtaining a log from someone who either experiences it, or can reproduce it.
every time i go on a road trip i flash my phone back to the last stable rom i used. no way i'm leaving NY these days with a leaked rom
for the record i drove from NYC to manchester TN via DC on EC05 with the GPS and the music player running the whole time and never lost connection for more then a minute in either direction

Bonsai did pull in your TWS, and keyboard patches, but none of the GPS stuff.
Im currently running scrambled eggs (eg22 rom) and im running the ee03 modem...my gps starts instantly but after 15 minutes or so, it just disconnects and searches for a signal...i simply exit google nav and restart it and gps is working just like it was...it's annoying but i can deal with it till OTA drops...its not a modem issue...it has to do with eg22 and how samsung has set up gps settings in gingerbread..Im no dev btw, just my 2 cents lol

Fair enough. In any event, I'm still willing to take a look at a logcat if someone affected by this problem can grab one.
If you are running a version of Stock Gingerbread and it's worked for you for at least 4 days without a reboot, please check in here and answer the following questions:
What version ROM, what version modem?
Are percent of the time do you typically spend in a low signal strength area?
What options did you have selected in ODIN when you flashed it?
What launcher do you use?
Is your phone rooted?
How many apps do you have installed, and are not from an "official" market?
How long between charges?
Anything else you may thing contributes to your success with Gingerbread?
You can see where I'm going here. Some people seem to have great luck with gingerbread, others (like me) keep having reboots. Perhaps there is something common between all the lucky users that we can figure out.
1. EH17 on both
2. If I'm at work, I have hardly any phone signal, but usually a bar of 4G. Outside of my office, I get a few bars of 3G.
3. Used Heimdall 1.3 over EH06 which was over EG22. Flashed everything but data, cache, and recovery.
4. Zeam Launcher
5. Yes, rooted.
6. Dozens of apps installed. From official and Amazon market. One app not from any market.
7. Charge daily. Leave on charger at work.
8. Luck of the draw on my phone?
Eg22 rom and modem. Maddoggins lock. Never a reboot. Working nicely. Seems after freezinga few thing the battery is gettting under control. Not even concerned w another flash til an official is released.
1. EG22, ROM and modem
2. Inside my house, there are some dead spots but outside its usually alright
3. Umm i think i put the tar or whatever in phone not PDA and no reset time(obviously)
4. GO Launcher EX
5. Of course
6. Um i think all are from official market that i can think of...?
7. I usually charge every night or just put in a spare battery
8. Well i use Eg22Plus Kernel and qbkings overscroll and battery percent mod. Also use necrosans Eg22 hotspot hack. Ive had one reboot EVER on gingerbread about 2 or 3 days after flashing EG22 but it was after tethering for 3 hours straight haha and i think the phone was just overloaded.
1. EH17 w/ ee03 modem
2. I usually have 5 bars with 3G when I'm using data, and on 4G I'll have two bars most of time. I guess every where I go in Nj have great signal.
3. I don't flash Roms with ODIN.
4. I used Tw4.5 by fr4ggor mostly, now I'm using spb 3d launcher.
5. Yes, I'm rooted
6. I have 28 apps installed from the official market.
7. I use my phone till it dies then charge it once it's dead, until its at a reasonable percentage, maybe like 60% - 70%.
* Idk why gb is successful for me I've been running the supercharger script and selecting option 12 & 9 with the last 3 GB builds*
*I usually delete the five terminal emu. that's installed with gb.*
I too had no reboots on EG22 rooted Bonsai B14. Will probably go back to that until then next leak and install the EH17 Browser with it. My reboots on everything else came with Wifi and also an Airave. So it is not signa related for me.

Never had reboots with any of the leaks unless I screwed around (prematurely hit disable or enable when it was already enabling/disabling) with wifi tether but that happens on ec05 as well.

I was on Stock EH06 across the board for a week or 2 and had no random reboots
I'm running eh17 v1.3 or hurricane rom and no reboots whatsoever
I'm running it with eh17plus kernel, and aio mod.
Oh and using the v6 script too

Stock EH06 with EH06+Kernel, EH06 Modem, and Honeycomb Theme 2.1
I also use AMM with my own custom values, but no other mods or modifiers
Haven't had a reboot for awhile, pretty much not since flashing the theme

There is now way possible that anyone of us can be 100% sure that we haven't got a random reboot unless we stare at the phone 24/7. The reboots can happen even when we are not attending to the phone or over night in our sleep.
I've had my phone work fine all day and when I get up at 0400h in the morning find my phone just finishing an SD CARD Scan because it rebooted.
IMBO, I believe that this affects all GB roms from the 1st leak to this last one, its an ongoing situation with Sammy / Sprint, possibly thats one of the reasons why we see an increment in the RDF pages...

Actually it's pretty easy to tell. Look at the uptime under Settings>Status>Up time. The number resets with every reboot. If you've never had a reboot it should correspond to the number of hours since you turned on the phone.

Anything else you may thing contributes to your success with Gingerbread? Had a lot of bad luck with different combos of roms, kernels, and themes, I am staying pretty stock until official comes out. My gps works on EG22, and I get the upgrades of GB in general so I'm happy.

Anything else you may thing contributes to your success with Gingerbread? Hm I feel the repartioningwith the stock deodexed rom helped and the hurricane rom is problem free, and using the EH17plus kernel seperate flash. Oh and the V8 Supercharger update-9 beta-ish script using the multitasing settings.

Oympus ROM, messing w v6... anyways, just wanted to point out, I get the reboots, sometimes with a lockup, that do NOT show up in uptime or the battery stats (stock). had one 12 hrs ago and both didnt catch it. Mine does the soft reboot, just blacks out then comes back a second later, starting into the SD scan. About every 3rd time, it locks up first, I cant get any response from onscreen or cap. buttons, then it vibes one quick burst then reboots. RAM crash? My ram is still high, any tips on a V6 setup would be appreciated, tried suggested ones around...

Grab the latest V6 (update9beta2) here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
MegaRam option #9 worked wonders for mine. Tried other options, but was still getting frequent 'soft' reboots when memory would leak out completely. I simply installed Advance Task Killer to monitor reboots, because anytime it would do a soft reboot the little green guy would be back.
