Correct me if I a wrong. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mujeebrehman 78 Report post Posted September 7, 2012 Congrats. How's GPS? Battery review. There seems to be a GPS issue. Got only 2 satellite fix after waiting quite a bit and did not lock. Looking for solutions. AGps and location working perfect. Battery life is same. I find no change. With latest update the battery is at least 20% better which became very bad after ICS update. GPS fix is also very fast and took less than a minute in open field area. Dk sir let me start by saying I am great fan of your review posts and religiously follow them especially after your threads like htc incredible and this one. However, how come you never had battery issues with fh13. And now you feel it was bad. I mean did you do some mods causing battery drain. I thought when you said there was no issues with battery on fh13 I was the unlucky one. Lol Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never had severe problem with battery before FH13. With FH13 battery has become better. I only quoted battery issue which you people were suggesting. With FH13, I feel the battery is best that it can be on any smartphone. You have to be realistic with your expectations when using a 4+" screen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snorlax 319 Report post Posted September 8, 2012 (edited) Even after hours, gps was not locking. After trying literally everything. After the update it is a matter of seconds outside my home. Battery. I believe it is definitely worse than last ics. At least with me. With Evdo on Nd every other thing off including sync my battery goes from 100 to 5 in a matter of hardly 4.5-5 hours. Screen on time would be 1-1.5 hours. Edited September 11, 2012 by ankitdaluka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mahesham22 3 Report post Posted September 13, 2012 Hi Gurus, I am using this phone on reliance. Last night I updated it to stock FH23 via ODIN. Everything works fine except Caller ID, My phone shows only numbers of incoming calls, even the person is on my contact list. I tried saving the contact with +91 prefix also but no success. I also played with International Dialing settings in Call settings without any success. Does someone have any tips here? Also I am not sure, but I feel like the mobile signals are dropped after update, I mean where I was getting 3 bars, I get only 1 or 2 bars. Can it happen?

pbananth 1 Report post Posted September 13, 2012 i got the zip file "ff18 to fh 13" (which size is 11.5mb) from the cache through Root Explorer. i copied to Ext SD card. can i install With CWM.. whether i will loss the root? or anything.. Gurus, kindly help.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joshm 818 Report post Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) I would stay away from using CWM to flash anything ( if its not a tweaked recovery ) as while wiping data , your phone might get bricked ( PLEASE NOTE there is a BRICK BUG in S2 sprint which generally kills the phone when you are wiping data via RECOVERY ) There are just a couple of safe recoveries + kernels combo whjich are safer ( may be 1 or 2 more ). Use ODIN updates , try this safe method , and the hall mark is that yopur phone will be updated to FH13 , it will get rooted as well and the best part is YOUR DATA and APPS will not be lost. Note down your Min no , and backup your NV settings - its a good habit If you are willing then follow this procedure. : Download this http://rwilco12.xdaf...D_NODATA_OC.EXE 1.... I am sure you have already installed Samsung usb drivers for Epic touch on your PC. 2.... unzip using 7zip > you will get a One click odin .exe file > double click it and it will show you a odin window 3.... Power down phone Wait for capacitative button lights to turn off . Simultaneously Press and Hold [Power] and [VolDn] until confirmation screen appears, after that Press [VolUp] to enter Download mode 4.... now you are in download mode > connect usb cable , > your phone will show in a yellow box in the just opened odin window. ( please make sure that you are using a good usb cable ) 5.... hit start - in a few minutes the flash will complete and PASS or success will display on ODIN window in green color. Onec done , either the phone will reboot itself or you can reboot it urself. Now upon reboot , you are on stock FH13 - Rooted - with all your user data still intact. Have fun !!! [ WARNING - flashing your phone, however safe the method may be termed, can BRICK your phone , so do it on your own , I or RIMWEB cant be held responssible for any BRICKED devices - regards ] Edited September 13, 2012 by joshm 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joshm 818 Report post Posted September 14, 2012 Guys if you are sick of ICS battery backup, then there is great news The latest FI03 ICS leak is just awesome Sprint has done a great job in this update and for those who think pinch to zoom is gone , well it ain't, its working fine in the build. The battery backup is very very good too. Give it a go. If you can't find or don't know how to do the then shout it out here will update .
