As others said, pull the battery and leave it out to run Odin. Also the sd card removal as stated does help sometimes.Well now I am getting stuck with a red screen on factoryfs (factoryfs.rfs).
What to do now?
Battery life is still worse than Froyo, but I think that is due to the fact its been leaked builds and they haven't fully shut down all the debugging and optimized it completely yet on these leaks. Plus we are so used to running custom kernels which does make a big difference in battery.The only thing that I have noticed on my Epic is shorter battery life on EF02, and EE03 for that matter. It could be my setup, but GB seems to eat thru my battery quickly. You can notice a nice speed increase when opening applications, and when switching screens. The GPS, bluetooth, and 4G work great. I guess I have to wait for an debloated ROM to help wit the battery issue.
See above Officer, I would hold off a bit longer if you've waited this long. Its good and its close to ready but you might as well wait for official.Is battery life degraded significantly from the optimized froyo custom ROMs? How many hours are you getting? I've been craving to flash my phone for a while (haven't done so for a couple of months ).
I'm still up in the air if I'm going to do an ACE Gingerbread version. Ahhh you guys will complain enough and push me into it like you did with ACE and EC05.. LOL... Glad that worked out for you all...I am running ACS Frozen for now with the EE03 modem firmware and its better then the last but still not the best when will they have just the radio firmware so that i can try that? i am not loading a leaked version or a rom based off a leaked version waiting for a ACE or ACS based off the official ginger rom...
Quadrant numbers I ran were in the mid 1300 range which is about 200 points lower than Froyo on EXT4 average and easily about 300 over Froyo RFS custom. So its definitely moving faster, this should translate into some nice speed once its EXT4 with a custom kernel running it.Any feedback on general performance relative to EE03? (I found it interesting that there were not a lot of comments in the past on EE03 being really laggy, while for me at least it was much slower than the stock Froyo I had been running before.)
EE03 for me also ate batteries for breakfast, lunch and dinner -- well, not for dinner, since it never made it past mid-afternoon. I thought maybe I just had a bad flash or some other app causing the problem, so I reflashed and ran it naked for a couple weeks with nothing installed; still had terrible battery life. Interestingly, if I viewed what was using the battery, the main culprit (90%+) was always "Android System" which if you drilled into it turned out to be CIQ. Did anyone else happen to notice that?
In any case, I would like to flash EF02, but before I do I'm hoping someone will confirm that it's noticeably faster than EE03 -- and maybe check the battery usage to ensure that "Android System," aka CIQ, is not still eating battery like it was for me on EE03. Also if anyone has Quadrant / Nenamark / Linpack numbers for EF02 I'd love to see them. Thanks!
