Update: List of issues available
Dear All:
Since this thread began, we have vented our frustration here, but most importantly, we have done that in an organized manner, by listing our issues in categories. I thank you all for staying on topic, and providing the much needed information in such great detail.
The purpose of the thread was to provide a comprehensive list of all the issues/annoyances/bugs we faced after upgrading to Froyo's EB13 Build, to the developers on this forum, as well as to those at Samsung. Squshy 7, a diligent member of this forum, printed the whole thread(!!), analyzed the information and complied a list of all the issues posted in this thread and others, to serve the purpose of this thread. Great job, Squshy 7!
I hope that based on this list, which is, for now, attached to this post as a Word document (and is posted by Squshy 7 later in the thread), we can receive great feedback from the developers and can soon receive the fixed version of EB13 from our own and Samsung's developers. Wonders of uninvited, but essential, crowdsourcing models! I wish companies realized the benefits of such models of business in this day and age.
I have PMed a mod to insert a second post to this thread so I can paste the complete list in that post.
The following is the original post of this thread. Thank you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am aware there is already a thread about bugs resulting after the latest EB13 update, but I did not see a thread where all the bugs were listed in an organized way. It would be very helpful if we have all the bugs compiled as a list from this thread here in a dedicated thread meant to be seen by Samsung developers, especially SamsungJohn. It would be great if SamsungJohn, continuing the spirit of partnership with the community, can take this list and work toward providing a patch for all the issues after the update as soon as he/Samsung can.
I would greatly appreciate if people, who received their update OTA, would chime in, too.
I am listing the following information about my method of update and the issues/bugs I am facing.
Method of update:
I was on Stock rooted ROM (DI18), with some Sprint apps uninstalled, so I had to use Odin to flash back to a complete Stock ROM. After using the Odin method to flash a Stock ROM, I installed the "update.zip" file from Samsung's Web site to update Eclair (DI18) to Froyo (EB13).
List of issues/bugs:
Sound/Volume:-
- The maximum volume is less louder than what it was on DI18 (some have reported this issue)
- Sound playing at 70% (rough estimate) or above loses fidelity coming out of the speaker of the phone, which is quite frustrating and disappointing, especially when the issue did not exist on Eclair (DI18)
Android Browser:-
- Checkerboard issue
- Unable to open more than four links. The "Open in new window" option does not appear if there are already four windows open
Camera/Camcorder/Video:-
- While recording video in low light, the video lags a lot, rendering the camcorder essentially useless for capturing precious moments anywhere and everywhere
- Selecting the "Sport" mode on the camera force closes the camera app
- There is no option to stop the geotagging of the pics taken by the default Camera app (strange, to say the least)
Screen:-
- On occasions, the screen goes blank and does not come alive until several seconds seconds later, or does not come alive at all
- There is a significant lag (about 2 seconds) in rotating from portrait to landscape, and from landscape to portrait orientation
GPS:-
- Not much better than the buggy GPS in Eclair (even after six months!)
Wifi:-
- The connection to Wifi suddenly drops after a random number of hours. The attempt to turn Wifi back on, from the Settings menu, or the Status/Notification Bar, results in an error, or the Wifi doesn't turn on. To turn the Wifi on, the device needs to be rebooted, or, the radio needs to be turned off and on.
Gsensor:-
- The direction shown by the pointer in Google Maps is wrong by 180 degrees
Operating System:-
- I have several apps moved to the SD card. After a reboot, icons for the apps which reside on the SD card, do not load for a minute or so
- I also noted that the icons of apps on the SD card, organized in a folder on the Home screen, fail to load completely, several times
- A folder shortcut for Pandora fails to load it's icon after a reboot
Please list your method of update and the issues/bugs in an organized manner on this thread, otherwise, the purpose of the thread will be defeated. After we have listed almost all the issues with the EB13 update, it would be a good idea to create a poll to find the number of people experiencing each of the issues. A poll at this time is useless as we do not know the exact number of issues.
Anyone who will post, please organize your issues and categorize them (even if it is a very loose categorization), as it would be much easier for a developer on this forum or from Samsung, to use an organized list of issues and get us closer to receiving fixes as they would have enough information in the form of a list.

My EB14 update
Samsung update tool to EB13
Have yet to fully test EB13 but the first glaringly obvious problem is Samsung's infamous "Time without Signal" issue.
First 6 hours running EB13, TWS was 50%
Hours 6 - 12 running EB13 and using "Airplane Mode Toggle" workaround, TWS was 1%.
Battery drain was significantly less after using the "Airplane Mode Toggle" workaround to temporarily fix the issue.
From everything I have read the TWS bug is caused by the phones modem.bin programing continuously hunting for a GSM signal. Since the phone is CDMA and has no GSM hardware it will never find one, causing significant battery drain. I have also read that this bug is not limited to the Epic, but effects multiple Samsung CDMA hardware platforms. There is no way that Samsung could be unaware of this issue.

Thanks for your input. I was hoping we would categorize our issues in terms of Camera issue, Sound issue, etc., so your issue is a battery issue. If you don't mind, I will place the text of your issue as the following, in this post:

Stock di18, unrooted, stock recovery...used update.zip, then dameons deodexed. same bugs throughout
Camera: terrible video lag in low light
Broswer:
prbly app related..all my bookmarks imported correctly, but from the browser I can't access the bookmark list or browsing history...there's literally no option to view them. And the shortcut from the old browser of holding the back button to view them doesn't work either.
And massive checkerboarding
General: overall rotation lag, even after calibration
Battery/radio: haven't noticed a terrible drain on the battery,but I too have the TWS bug. Hangs right at 50%. (On a side note, what's th airplane trick. PM me the answer so as to not clutter this thread)
Sent from my baked and emotionless SPH-D700
I've had some of the same issues mentioned by others in many of these threads, but one I've had that I haven't seen mentioned else where is gaps in the Application screen.
I applied update.exe from a stock DI18. Since the Clock app added timer and stopwatch functions, I uninstalled a couple of other apps that were now redundant. But instead of the App pages condensing, I now have gaps when I'm in grid view. I'm sorry I don't feel like I'm explaining this well...
I have 7 pages in Applications grid view. In the past, removing an app meant that all the apps shifted so there would be one less App on page 7. Now, if the app I remove is on page 2, it creates a gap at the bottom right of page 2, and all the other pages are unchanged.
Sorry, OP, I'm not really sure how to categorize that for this list, but I hope this helps it get addressed.

Is there any way your can cross categorize this issue (Battery & Modem) as it is a Battery issue directly caused by a known Modem.bin bug?
What you are seeing is normal for the new version of touch wiz.
On the handset
Unlock Device
Press 'Applications'
Press 'Menu Button'
Press 'Edit'
Press 'Menu Button'
Press 'a-z sort'
That should resort the icon's to the way you are used to seeing them.
Thank you.
Update method samsung update tool.
Same issues as stated in the first post on this thread.
One more annoying bug that I'm also having is when I try to open the sms app it will often open a app that was previously running like contacts dialer or log I would find myself having to reset the phone to get the sms app to work properly. Oh yeah I noticed my battery is draining a lot faster too. To me this seems like dk28 was just renamed eb13. There is nothing that set this build apart from dk28 except the name change.

Holy crap, I had no idea. Thanks! I'd seen the new Edit option in the menu, but never thought to hit the Menu button a second time.
Was this documented somewhere that I should have seen?

I have re-categorized your issue.
The only purpose of this thread is to just provide a quick list of issues/bugs to the people who can use it to fix the outstanding issues, soon. Again, thanks to everyone going through the extra trouble of categorizing and listing their issues in an organized manner. I certainly hope this exercise produces the intended results. Are you reading SamsungJohn?

Seems like you have issues with the SMS and Battery categories.
Please categorize your issues. Without categorizing and organizing issues, we will have a thread identical to the thread related to the bugs, which would make this thread redundant, and defeats the purpose of this thread. Thank you.

Camera/Video issue.
Updated via Samsung tool from straight stock.
The video is blurry as noted in low light, but what's even more of an issue is that it force closes whenever you try to select "sports mode" It screws up the phone so bad that after it goes into sleep mode once force closing it will not wake back up. Only a battery pull will get it to respond. I've seen this issue noted across at least 3 other forums, but haven't seen it addressed in this one yet.
Thanks-

Thanks, squshy 7, for offering to compile a list of all the issues!
Method of Update:
Downloaded Samsung tool (.exe) from Samsung website
Bugs:
O/S - Time without Signal. Gotta toggle airplane mode to fix it.
Browser - Also seeing checkerboard effect when zooming/panning
Messaging - Not sure if it's the network, Handcent or EB13 but I'm receiving text messages with a space after each letter. If I restart Handcent it goes away but then comes back intermittently. Not sure if anyone else is seeing this issue.
Anyone here already tried this new firmware?
what is the changes on this firmware?
thanks
i am sure there won't be any changes
the version for the middle east JPKE1 doesn't have any changes so why will be there any difference for Europe
there is difference my friend, europe was the first with bada 1.2 JL2 the other earth parts got it in late january.
This version has webkit improvements, as the new firmware for wave II and also preperations for bada 2.0, also the pop bug should be solved^^
memory management improved with dolfin.

I installed this firmware with the csc from JL2 (OXC) yesterday.
Today, I uninstalled it and reverted back to old XXJL2.
Why?
No noticeable difference. Design, speed, apps, etc are exactly the same.
No bug fix (GPS is as slow as ever, most apps don't launch e.g Thumpies, AccuWeather.com application, etc).
And lastly, "this device cannot be updated" message in kies (possibly due to use of XXJL2 csc file).
i am quiet confusing about this firmware, lariteo says that there are some improvemets on this firmware but accdg to spacks, there is no changes on this from S8500XXJL2.
it is recommendable to upgrade to this firmware or not?
@spacks excuse me but it seems that you dont even have tested it as you should, you are simple lying the people here. You should sell your device and not harm other peoples intuisazm here. One day for testing wow, that was realy long^^^in one day you cant even test dolfin itself, or not?
@pao9195 http://www.badanation.de/topic.php?t=4770&page=last#last_post
yes german users seems to be very happy with this firmware
as i read and know it from the wave firmware
- POP E-Mail Client don't download deleted Apps anymore
- Dolfin is faster
- Dolfins memory usage is now clean, after closing the app, no more fragmentation
@all if someone test a firmware he should not look at the look of the os, if the verision is the same, than there are only bugfixes and no features, it is still a 1.2 with some bugfixes.
Old apps that dont work they must the developer fix and not samsung, if they dont do that than you can throw them away, i think if i release a app than i am also responsible to update it that it works on feature os versions.
People like you are killing the devs intuisazm and i hate this, leave this section and let here only people talk that are interested in such things, as you read
NO NOOOOOOOOOBS are here allowed. And this is not a joke.
@larioteo
please I was only expressing my observations from the use of the new firmware.
My opinion is not binding on anyone. I may be right or wrong.
I don't need to test the new firmware for a year before I can find out it's pros and cons. I have been with my WAVE for a good time now to detect any slightest change from any firmware on it.
The so-called improvements in the new firmware are already existing in XXJL2.
Anyone is free to test. If you like it, keep it. If not, revert back to XXJL2 like me.
Finally, I still maintain my stand that the new firmware is no better than XXJL2. It appears to me like a mere change of name (version number).
Also facebook and twitter server problems seems to be solved^^
i think this firmware is flashable for everyone.
You should test more than a day every known bug and not only your oppiniouns, than others see if it is for they usable, ok? To say JL2 is better, according to the german forum is false^^
And for your information i got a other similar update for the wave II before two weeks, and i also had a firmware downloader and know a little bit more than you in this way, you should sometimes hear advices of others that are in this section longer and not think that you can know everything about it, how long has you tested it 2 hours?
Man you are killng my time, i have said what is improved, cause i tested it long as it should be. the users can rate who they can more trust
2 weeks against 1 day^^
thanks for that info sir lariteo, i believe in you sir, i will flash my phone to this firmware.
thanks
The most users say there that this firmware can compare to XI5 that was the best until this one.
- Surfing with 5 Tabs and 6 widget pages was possible with this firmware
a user reported that he has opened 5 youtube sites and that he has 6 widget site, and that there is no memory message, as on JL2 before.
as i said before the memory management of dolfin is much better than every firmware before.
hmm it seems that this firmware is recommended to flash.
but i think, nobody are interested on Bada 1.2 updates, instead we are all waiting for the Bada 2.0.1 update right?
a stupid question, why we update to this firmware with some bug fixes if Bada 2.0.1 is coming?
wherein we can directly upgrade our firmware to Bada 2.0.1 without going back to this firmware?
this is one of a practical reason, it is depend on the users if he want this firmware or not.
yes very interestung people cried for an bugfix of jl2 before 2.0 justin hong comfirmed it and promised it, now it is here and some says no important before 2.0, very interesting things.
They have done what many users wanted and know there are bugfixes and a never version and this should not be good?
This is the very wrong way, for they that want to use only bada this update is more than neccessary for the android porters it is nothing but not everyone wants android sone buyed the device to not have android on it think about it. and new versions should be for such people and not for bada haters, easy.
a small bugfix version is a big recommendation and not an unusual flash. if i wiuld be a samsung worker i would disable updates for all hacked devices bada should only be available for evangelist and not for haters like apple it does with new ios.
im successfully upgrade my phone to this firmware and ive noticed some changes from my old firmware S8500XXJK1:
- allow to send blank sms
- facebook have a log out option
- facebook have notification upon opening the application shown at the notification bar.
- when we long pressed some wall post on facebook, we got 3 options; like/comment/cancel or just press the "+" button, this 3 options appear.
- have a brightness settings on Dolfin Browser
I will post again if there is some changes aside from this and please note that this is based from S8500XXJK1 only, i am no longer flashed my phone to S8500XXJL2.
Hey,
I didnt know where i should Post my Bug Report so if its the wrong section dont hold back to tell me.
I'm currently using my Galaxy S2 for daily use and after flashing some Kitkat Roms Omni is in my opinion the most stable rom and with Nova + ART a damn fast Rom, so thank you very much for supporting my Device.
I dont know whats happening the last weeks but it all began with an Opendelta Issue, i wiped all Data / Factory Reset via TWRP and flashed the Rom completely new and OpenDelta still didnt work, it just said every day its all up2date. Now after a couple of days it is working again, dont know if it was a Server Issue or something else - at the official Omni Page no one post News so i have always to guess whats happening
Currently i found 2 Bugs, if you want to call someone you open up the Dialer and then the Button for the Numbers but after clicking it, theres nothing(Screenshot is attached). You have to go back and try it again then the Numbers are there. The second Problem is that there is no Zoom in the AOSP Camera App if you record a Video. My currently workaround is the Google Camera App, there all is working fine. Also there are some Issues with Apollo , freezing , doesnt update the Song DB etc. , dont know why its so popular - its horrible. Replaced it also with a 3rd party App - Omich/Rocket Player.
The last Problem is that not everywhere in the Settings the correct language is used, if you need some translation help im sure many users would like to help(including me) but that is in my opinion nothing critical .
...and sorry if my Text was hard to read, its not my native language but im working on it :silly:
Regards
Per the FAQ, this is not the place to put bug reports.
However, I9100 hasn't been maintained in a long time, so filing a bug report will be a waste of time. Support for this device is currently going to be dropped with Android 5.0, and if it receives 4.4 bugfixes, that'll have to come from a new maintainer as none of the former maintainers have time/motivation for the Exynos 4210 devices these days.
Some of the issues you describe with Apollo aren't Apollo issues, but the result of a very deep-down core bug that has a side effect of screwing up storage access. This bug has been known for nearly a year (there's a big thread disucssing it somewhere around here...) and still no one has found a fix for the root cause. In fact, it's one of the #1 reasons the device is getting dropped for L. (It will absolutely not receive nightlies unless someone finds and corrects the root cause.)
Hey,
Thank you for your response. :good:
I reported the Bug on jira and there is a workaround for the Dialer Bug: Setting The Animator Scale higher than 0.
The Drivers are the problem right?

Well, there are three things you listed:
1) Dialer stuff - probably some sort of odd HDPI issue and/or graphics subsystem stuff. The Exynos4 graphics subsystem is why many developers don't want to ever touch the platform again.
2) Zoom in video - What resolution was Google Camera? Zoom has NEVER been available for 1080p resolutions on the Exynos 4210 family, not even stock firmware will zoom in 1080p
3) The storage issues are a symptom of a deep-down kernel bug that no one has found the root cause of. This is the #1 reason the device is getting dropped for 5.0 - there is no chance even if a new maintainer steps up that nightlies will resume until someone tracks down the root cause of this one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612329 has more discussion (warning: It's long...)
I have seen posts in other threads about the update and I feel that a post about the update in any of those threads would detract from that threads purpose. So I made one instead.
I 'm on Boost and the update itself is just under 25MB, and per the Apps list it appears that half of that went to the new Contacts app based on size (not sure if download was compressed or not). It took roughly 10 minutes to completely install and it slowed waaaaayyy down when it reached 70+% on "Phase 1." "Phase 2" was fairly quick. I couldn't get a picture of the screen but it is a plain black background with only white text denoting information and progress. "Phase 1" would slowly blink on and off during that installation cycle. I was on battery and it ate roughly 5-6% during the process.
Bloat: it's hardly there. All I noticed was the addition of adding your Yahoo account credentials to work with the new Contacts app (I'm assuming), and after removing it it does not appear in the Add an Account menu. The new Contacts and Data Collection Tool app (the two are most likely associated) cannot be removed, but can be disabled. Also, there are some new wallpapers, being "Magic Smoke" and "Music Visualization." I don't know what they look like since I have no need for them and disabled them too. There may be other additions that I have not caught. I really wish we have root to get rid of the Connections Optimizer. It re-enables itself after the update and is more aggressive in wanting to be used.
Battery life: I have seen an improvement in SOT with Data/Wi-Fi, but still have drainage while the phone is not in use/asleep. I have uninstalled my Battery app (Battery Solo Widget Pro) and disabled the Battery notification in Power Toggles (never set it to poll to begin with) to see if they could have been the culprit. For context I actively use Greenify and set it for all apps I don't need to be constantly running, and turn Data/Wi-Fi/etc . off when I am done using that feature and have location set to Battery Saving.
I don't know how many of youz guys have installed the update, but I'd be happy to help with any questions I can answer.
Battery settings detail is now showing up when it would force close previously. I'm going to assume they also may have fixed the WIFI cert issue some people where having.
I save most of the logcats logs if anyone wants to have a peak at those. OTA updates were provided via Redbend.
Won't update with a low battery
I just when to try the update to see if there is a resolution to the Wifi 802.1xEAP certificates bug and it downloaded very quickly. However, when I clicked OK to install, it came back and said the Battery was too low and to install later. Even with the phone plugged into the USB port! (Yes the battery was down to about 1/4). Fortunately it looks like it kept the download.
The only concern I have with this upgrade is the google security update. I'm just wondering if I'll be closing a hole needed to root this phone.

Good thing Sharp fixed the Battery detail bug. I can confirm that Sharp has not fixed the cert issue. jh2015 posted in the thread about the issue that Sharp told him/her that it will not be fixed.
Did anyone actually captured the OTA URL and the update zip file?

Could not access /cache/ or /fota/ after the download since there is not root access. I personally was unable to find or rewrite the download to a different location due to permissions.
Smart Contacts and Phone
The new smart contacts and phone app is very Lollipop. I wonder if this is an indication that the Aquos Crystal will get an 5.0 update, maybe no time soon, but in the future.
Chameleon become sharp.

I updated it the day it came out and I don't use the new bloatware added haven't used it. If you haven't noticed when you take a picture the shutter noise was always on or something like that. With the update the shutter noise can be turned off now, glad they fixed it.
Eh, great one, the shutter sound was pretty loud.
Edit: where you find the option?

I don't think there's an actual on/off option but if your phone is on vibrate or silent then you shouldn't hear the shutter sound.
Ting still working?
Has anyone on Ting using the Boost (white) version installed the update?
If so: (a) Is everything still working on Ting? (b) Is Spark LTE still working on Ting?

Wow, two updates in the same month!!
Still bad battery performance. 7-8 hr screen on time compared to AOSiP's 12 hrs and ColorOS's 10-11 hrs.
I'm still on Android 9, A.10, global version, using phone in Europe, everything intact. Waiting for official OTA.
Should I be worried?
Why wait for the ota? Just download the file from oficial site and flash through the original file manager.

I confirm, still an excessive battery drain, bad update
Any have missing smart sidebar? It should be under convenience settings.
I updated my phone from c23 to c25 by downloading the official file.
I had issues with Google pay recognising my phone as rooted ( it was rooted earlier in c10, but now it is not; the recovery is also the official one) the problem persists. The bootloader is unlocked
Any recommendations on rectifying this without losing my installations or data?
Do I Need to root it and install magisk hide? I went into bootloops when I tried it earlier.
It's because of unlocked BL.
So we are back to no fingerprint when rooting the phone. Are we expecting this to be fixed anytime soon?
I was on c24, and now on c25.
I feel everything is much more laggy, even after a factory reset.
Anyone else facing this problem?

Magisk hide no longer works since the March security patch it is no more possible to hide root anymore.
There is an article on XDA news about it, look for it
