EF02 Bug Thread

Doesn't look like there's one of these yet, so I'll start.
-Potential speed issues
-SOME slow rotation issues - Mine is working fine, YMMV
-Can't make up its mind if it wants to be on the EF02 or EF10 modem
-Battery Meter something something (can't duplicate)
-Battery life blows (YMMV) - I've uninstalled several Samsung apps and disabled logging (*#9900#) and I'm getting half-decent life - I charge throughout the day but I'd say it's comparable to previous Froyo builds
-Hardware keyboard still sucks, maybe harder
-Touch screen sensitivity - I'm not experiencing this, but YMMV. I've found sometimes using crappy cables causes weird touch screen issues.
-Various and sundry GPS complaints (I'm using the EF10 modem, not having any problems so far)
-USB connects and disconnects repeatedly when attached to computer, charging, playing media (at least, that seems to cause it on mine)
Begin griping.

Exchange working for me so far. You couldn't even set up?

Accidently cancelled download ... now i have to wait 30 minutes to start the process over again.... 8(
Don't see any mirrors .... also this spot is reserved for when i flash it.

Is anyone else getting crap 3g speeds? I was getting 1.5mbps on ee03 in the same spot yesterday and now I'm getting 500kbps. Might have something to do with the weather though.

After I entered my username/password/server and click next, BOOM, force close. It's pretty funny, as I was setting up, I got a gMail message - and when that hit, that's when I got my first FC.
All I have so far is CWM, and SU installed.

Both my 3G and 4G are a bit slow, 4g is half of what it was this morning, but it seems to be normal mid-day drag in my dense urban hellhole.

Someone in the other EF02 thread said they updated their firmware and it changed the modem to EF10. Maybe that'll help the speeds.

Looks like I jumped the gun on rooting and stuff. I'm gonna reflash, do the update, try my exchange setup again, THEN root. Then go back to watching King of the Hill on Netflix on my freakin' epic Epic.

My only thing was I updated and it gave me EF10. Then once it did EF10 it tried to put the modem back to EF02 lol... cancel!

EF10 modem.. 52m 30s Time On..... 79% TWS... Fail

The battery meter bug is still around. Display only showing 3 % even if on non stop.
It may be a gb bug?

Are you going to update the op with the fixes or will this just benefit your experience?

Can anyone confirm if the accelerometer bug is still around?

The Swype fully works and it is the new version too
Version 3.4, that's newer than the beta!

Anyone else experiencing medium heat during deep sleep, this might be a battery drain issue too early to tell though

My Impressions of EG22

First I'll start off by saying tonight was a really terrible night for me so if this comes off as venting so be it lol.
Samsung, you're getting there that's for sure. Scrolling, screen off/on is buttery smooth and things seem to be working better than I had expected.
With that being said, there is still work that needs to be done. It may just be my location, but with the EG22 modem I feel like I've been roaming more than usual. I flashed back to the EC05 modem just to see and it confirmed my suspicion: either my phone or my area just doesn't like the new modem very much.
Another key component is battery life, it's been pretty sub-par for me. At work I have terrible reception (no bars, even roaming) so I put the phone on airplane mode and the battery is still dropping pretty consistently, much faster than on any of the other leaks or Froyo. Must be a rogue process(es) eating it up, but I can't be sure unless I do some digging which I don't really feel like doing.
All in all it's definitely coming along nicely, but by no means is it phenomenal. But for the first time since DI18, I can honestly say that I feel Sammy is doing some stuff right. Keep it up, don't let us users down

My impressions of the modem/rom is they are faking things a little bit on the signal meter as I know the signal isn't that strong in those areas. And it's not like a software update just gives better signal.

I agree that it seems like I'm roaming more on EG22, but the modem doesn't seem to have any effect. For example, I ran the stock EG22 build for a while and noticed the roaming issue and weaker WiFi reception. Reverting to the the EC05 modem didn't seem to help these issues. One of the stores I work in has a WiFi router that I can access throughout the store on Froyo (EC05), but on GB (EF02/EG22), WiFi disconnects when I walk to the rear of the store. Doesn't seem to matter which modem I'm using at the time. I even flashed back to Froyo yesterday but left the EG22 modem installed. GPS, 3G, and WiFi were flawless all day everywhere I went. So it seems that there must me some code/instructions in the build itself that are more relevant than the modem firmware.
Another interesting tidbit is that there basically is no difference in EC05 and EG22 modems. Randy did a binary differencing to generate a patch between EC05 and EG22 and the patch file is 142 bytes, which is probably about enough to change the version name.

I have noticed since the first GB leak that the WiFi reception is horrible now compared to a stock Epic with FroYo.

Yes, it makes me wonder if they might have the power to the radios dialed back a bit intentionally to help them diagnose something possibly?

I have noticed the wifi bars being low, but it isn't effecting the speed at all. I consistently get 1.5mbps down/600kbps up when over 3g, and have seen 9mbps on 4g. Call quality seems good as well. As for battery drain? It might be a bit faster than I'm used too, but then again, I'm coming from SRF 1.2. If there are any issues with the TWLauncher, I don't notice them because I'm a LauncherPro user. Issues with the browser? I use Dolphin, so if there are any, again, I don't know. Overall though, this ROM is stable enough for daily use.

Gps freezing...need help desperately

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!
Josh

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.

Please don't make this assumption without evidence.
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.

Do you know if Bonsai 4.1.3 contains my GPS crash fix? I don't have a changelog handy.
Folks, if the EG22 GPS problem is similar to as EC05, I'm willing to fix it. But I don't/can't run leaked ROMs and am unable to test it myself. Anyone feel like grabbing that logcat?

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

Battery drain behavior

Hello,
Just trying to figure out if my battery is normal.
With any ROM OR KERNEL combination here, I tried few, my battery is fantastic while phone is idle, no loss over night or all day if screen is off.
But once I start using the phone it drops like 3-5 % from few minutes regular use, yesterday I took few photos, sphere, panorama and it dropped 25%. I have max1350
Wake locks are OK, no stupid stuff eating at it.
Is this normal for people or?

Nah, that's not normal.
- Bad signal reception?
- Google Now & maps updating non stop? Other apps, like facebook?
Post a screen shot of your battery usage graph, will make it easier to determine.
Have a look at this thread as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2107163 some people have been helped by flashing back to stock.
Was it always this bad?

The battery reporting is kinda broken. Add you say, it can hold constant when it should really be draining slightly, and then suddenly drop in one big go as it "catches up".
It's a common problem.

Yes pretty much, I would not say i drops in one big number, but yes fast so pretty much same.
For example, to post the Thread i went from 35% to 32% after being idle all night, but then One Hour Driving to work with BT on pair with car, text messaging and e-mailing it dropped 1%.
The big question, if it's common problem, meaning not on every phone, so does t hat mean it's hardware and I should be calling Google?
or
is it 4.2.1/Custom ROM/Kernel problem?
is there a thread or anyone I can follow on this issue?

I was on that until yesterday. Try it with Trinity or Franco's kernel, see what that does.
Didn't do what the op claims in that thread but then again, I didn't have any issues with the battery..

My phone was behaving the same way. The idle time would be great...no percents dropping for hours. But then when I'd actually use the phone the drop was sharp.
Lately its getting better for me...its dropping a bit on idle but also at a much slower rate when the phone is used.
I hope it'll be fixed in 4.2.2
Also keep in mind that the rendering process in photosphere does that huge amounts of battery.

G2 Degrading GPS performance

My GPS performance has been slowly getting worse and worse and I can't figure out why.
When I got the phone it would lock on to *at least* 10 out of 20+ satellites within seconds and maintain high accuracy. Over time, it's taken longer and longer to lock, uses fewer and fewer birds when it does (I'm lucky to see 6/12 most times), and loses position more easily.
I do an AGPS refresh regularly, tried it with several different app (my main one is GPS Status Unlocked), but it doesn't help. I recently received the OTA update to Kit Kat, but it made no difference either way.
Just fired up GPS Status and it shows 0/18 satellites... trying and trying but that's it. Meanwhile, just started GPS Status on my wife's Galaxy Tab 10.1, and it instantly shows 16/16. (Ooooh, and now the G2 is at 1/16).
I thought maybe the Otterbox was affecting reception but removing it makes zero difference as well.

When I got the phone it would lock on to *at least* 10 out of 20+ satellites within seconds and maintain high accuracy. Over time, it's taken longer and longer to lock, uses fewer and fewer birds when it does (I'm lucky to see 6/12 most times), and loses position more easily.
I do an AGPS refresh regularly, tried it with several different app (my main one is GPS Status Unlocked), but it doesn't help. I recently received the OTA update to Kit Kat, but it made no difference either way.
Just fired up GPS Status and it shows 0/18 satellites... trying and trying but that's it. Meanwhile, just started GPS Status on my wife's Galaxy Tab 10.1, and it instantly shows 16/16. (Ooooh, and now the G2 is at 1/16).
I thought maybe the Otterbox was affecting reception but removing it makes zero difference as well.

This is a recognised issued of LG G2. In this section there is a topic who deals about GPS issues. Search for it

I did search. Got either excessive unrelated hits because the search was too broad, or nothing at all when I narrowed it down. In fact, I've searched on multiple occasions with similar non-results.
So perhaps just a link to the appropriate thread wouldn't be too much to ask.

I have similar issue. At first (on stock JB) it locked in no time with great accuracy. Now on cloudypro 2.1 I have to wait for gps lock like forever (in some apps it's really fast, but for example in google maps it doesnt even get fix sometimes).
Currently I got position error shown in GPS status from 7 to 20-30m. Often speed isn't shown and when I'm not moving it shows ~5-6km/h. My father had SGS+ and from what I remember it had factory fault when due to temperature gps antenna seperated from glue and caused lack in performance. Maybe it is the same with our LG?
I dont know what's the cause, but I intend to go back to JB and see if it's gonna be any help.
