[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Well what do you know. something we agree on. The OCLF is pretty pointless now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mswirski:
It depends on whether your talking about custom roms or not.

The custom roms all seem to do something for the gps, some more than others, but your pretty much assured it will be better.

But if your strictly talking froyo from samsung, then no.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asrrin29:
If you get a Custom Froyo ROM, it's a resounding yes to all of your questions. I have near perfect GPS, my phone dances around any other one I've seen, and my tethering works perfectly.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vulcan195:
Thanks for the info. Which custom ROM do you have on the Captivate ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asrrin29:
I personally use Perception, an old ROM from DG, but it's been discontinued. I'm just a stubborn old fart that doesn't want to upgrade something that is working just fine the way it is. Pretty much any of the ROMS will give you the features I mentioned, but each is themed in it's unique way. I like Perception because there was little theming done to it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soloDOTcom1185:
Oddly for me, GPS WAS fixed when I updated to Froyo...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sola fide:
My 2.2 upgrade fixed my GPS and my phone is snappier. I use Launcher Pro instead of TW and I noticed it felt quicker and more responsive. The flash support is a bonus as well.

If you don't need to worry about your phone and have the time - a custom ROM could be a good way to go.

I happen to be a person who relies on my phone every day for work. I don't have the time to experiment with custom ROMs or can I risk having something not work correctly. I stick with stock for that reason or else I would be flashing a custom ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CremeFraiche:
ive flashed almost every single custom ROM up in here and for my captivate andromeda and firefly have been the only two ROMs that improved GPS, stock eclair and froyo i couldnt even get a fix or see a single satellite, with those 2 custom ROMs i get a fix within 15 seconds even in cloudy weather. ive only been an android user for 2 weeks and custom ROMs are they way to go for this phone. better improvement in every which way over stock
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fojae:
Previously, I was on stock jh7 with oclf and was not very.happy: always rebooting the phone, looking at what processes were running, was considering installing a custom rom, etc... Then I installed official froyo and it's like I have a new.phone. No noticeable lag, the phone is now really fun to use instead of.constantly embarrassingly slow.

Gps is still terrible.

Edit: I am on official froyo with no lag fix
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markmensch:
Can you elucidate at all? A coworker of mine was running the same custom Froyo on Captivate, as on my Captivate. He used OCLF and saw his benchmark #s doubled. I tried it and it can't complete (and backs out).

What have ye to say about OCLF?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KonaZXIII:
OCLF was file conversion from RFS (Samsung) to EXT2. The latest file system lagfix is EXT4 which helps Froyo with lag issues and even some GB ROMS.

RFS is now getting mature enough that it's can run fairly fast and smooth without a lagfix (aka file conversion from RFS to EXT4).

At one small time OCLF was relevant. It is no longer.

If you insist on sticking with 2.2 look up Serendipity 6.4 or Firefly 3.0 in the development section and install one. You'll forget all about OCLF.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eeeeeeeeek:
So there are many uninstallers. The ones I've have found that will uninstall system apps doesn't have a quick uninstall feature, or it won't allow me to quickly uninstall many system apps. I have root explorer and can just go through and delete the apk's, but I've found that I run into issues occasionally and have found that actually uninstalling the apps is cleaner and doesn't cause as many issues as when I just delete the apks. Any suggestions would be great, I'd rather not have to download many versions, as the descriptions aren't always accurate. Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
adb shell
su
rm /system/app/Nameofapp.apk
rm -rf /data/data/application.package.name
pm uninstall application.package.name
reboot
exit

Works every time. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eeeeeeeeek:
Thats awsome, I get the first part of it, I'll check out what the rest of the code does :P However, I would like an app as I don't enjoy typing that much into a virtual terminal. If there is no app then I might just have to deal! I'd like to think with the thousands of apps that 1 uninstaller will allow me to quickly uninstall system apps, like a mass uninstall feature. I'll keep digging....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Well, you could make a bash script out of it...

Anyways, here's what it does:

Open ADB Shell

Get root

Remove unwanted System app

Remove the settings/data for said app

Remove the app from the package manager

Reboot

Close Command Prompt/Terminal
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eeeeeeeeek:
I've never tried writing a script before. Would I have to write one for each program that I would want to remove?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpalatsi:
The call quality is terrible on my Atrix, people have told me that it sounds like I'm underwater or "garbled". I've tried adjusting the noise cancellation with no luck. I was interested in playing around with the ##PROGRAM menu but I couldn't get that to work on my Atrix (Is it not supported?). Anyway, if anyone has any insight as to how to fix this issue I would appreciate you helping me out.

Thank you

[Droid X Themes and Apps] Ben's:
If it was up to me, I would do a stock, Liberty and Fission to start off with. I feel those are the most stable, quickest and majority of ROMs used.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] jazaddict:

[Droid X Themes and Apps] tyvallely:
Please do liberty first. Liberty is the best rom to date for the droid x and droid 2.

[Droid X Themes and Apps] tyvallely:

[Droid X Themes and Apps] tyvallely:
With the new liberty and all will that effect how long it takes for your theming process?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Funnyface19:
Idk of a good sense like launcher i came from a droid Eris and hated and spent my time avoiding sense lol and ill have to wait for the new one to come out to theme it but it won't take long thereafter
[Droid X Themes and Apps] tyvallely:
Alrighty. I am working on the sense launcher just in case if someone wants it.

[Droid X Themes and Apps] Funnyface19:
ok who wants this for 2.3.3

[Atrix 4G General] :
My fingerprint/power button is slightly slanted. I was wondering if this is just me or not. The button is lifted slightly from one end.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
There's a data ribbon on one side that holds it crooked like that. this has already been brought up and pretty much all of them are like that (as far as I know) so I wouldn't be concerned about it.
[Atrix 4G General] :
You've been a real relief today. Thank you.
[Atrix 4G General] Made2Last:
This is the first thing I noticed after taking it out of the box. Couldn't believe they wanted it to be like this.
[Atrix 4G General] eallan:
Crooked here as well. The first atrix I had seemed to be straight though. Kind of annoying. Also one side of the screen is slightly lower than the other.
[Atrix 4G General] BBock9:
Same for me. I had to return my first atrix because of battery issues and it had a straight one but the one I have now is tilted. I don't really stare at it so no big deal to me. At least my battery is performing now.
[Atrix 4G General] digitalallstar:
To add to the build quality issues, I went through 3 units at the store an all had some degree of dust under the screen. I took the one with the least. I took a look at my cousin's unit the other day and it also had a couple of specs under the screen.
[Atrix 4G General] eallan:
Define performing. Mine is still garbage compared to what it should be. That's the same reason I returned the first one.

okay at least im not the only one. a friend of mine thought it was a protective piece of plastic that needed to be peeled off at first. it looked too thick to be something like that so i tested it first to see if it would read my finger which it did so i left it on..

odd that motorola would place it like that
[Atrix 4G General] diedemus:
it is an inset reader attached to the board with a ribbon cable, as part of a button. Some sit slightly different than others, it is common on everything that has this type of multifunction setup.

get your OCD under control
[Atrix 4G General] elite_is3:
id say its less a build quality issue and more a design issue, since the glass isnt glued to the screen. I have myself seen 3-4 atrix, all except one had either major dust or at least 1-2 specks.

and on top a software bug that scared the hell out of me, seeing dead and stuck pixels only in the CAMCORDER mode.
[Atrix 4G General] brendan_orr:
I should consider myself lucky then, no dust and my fingerprint/power button is straight. However, it is a refurbished phone (perhaps one that was returned by one of you!) so they might have taken a bit more care in reassembly. Who knows... Maybe it is best to buy second hand sometimes, or I'm just plain lucky
[Atrix 4G General] DarrellRaines:
I have had four refurb atrixs and each one has had a straight fingerprint scanner. All of them at the stores I have seen are slanted. Seems the refurbs are a little nicer in that aspect
[Atrix 4G General] fastbikedroid:
Same here ... a little slanted, but then again I hadn't really spent much time looking at the button before!
[Atrix 4G General] versd:
i never liked the button!!
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
ask for a reset when the phone comes out

Text upgrade to 1311
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
So is your personal guy resetting the upgrades for everyone?
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
its a girl, she told me i would be able to keep my upgrade, im grandfathered lol whatever that means man, im just happy to find out i keep it, as long as she maintains her word, which she always has, i mean i bought my hero for 0.99 cents and 6 months later upgraded to the evo
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Nobody is "grandfathered" but the upgrade can be reset ;) Your girl will be calling my department to make that happen
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
oh, shrooms, i guess its nice to know people :)
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Wait, so my current upgrade will be gone before the 3D comes out/I use it?

We have $150 upgrade discounts on all 3 lines.
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
anyway, CANT WAIT FOR NEW EVOOOOOOO lolz
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
better use em
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
As I said before, people need to wait until June to ask for the reset, it won't get done now as it's immediate and managers are not going to be resetting 1 year upgrades EARLIER than 1 year.
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
gotcha, good looks
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
We want to use them on the 3D, not 3 more evos....
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
I'm a little confused, i Just seen where I got my deposit back and March is my one year mark. I didn't know upgrades were available after a year? Or is that for people that has been with Sprint a while?
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Your upgrade will stay as it's before the change (April 1st). Anyone that upgraded after April 1st will lose it, but it can be reset when the time comes. 10+ year customers have it yearly and it used to be $69.99 single plans and $129.99 family plans had it yearly as well. Now it's $89.99 single plans and $169.99 family plans.
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
Oh ok, so this is just my first year with Sprint.. so I'm not eligible for an upgrade after a year then correct?
[EVO 4G General] novanosis85:
But they can reset it he/she said.
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
That's not what I'm trying to say. I don't have anything to reset.. this is my first year with Sprint, this month marks my first year.

I was asking if I'm even eligible for an upgrade now being that it is only my first year.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
You're fine because you're upgraded was due before April 1st which is when the changes are taking effect.
[EVO 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
Shroomz, I currently have an upgrade right now available. I was on the 69 plan but last week changed to the simply anything plan and this plan will take effect April 1st. Will my upgrade still be available after April? Also I don't understand, I have not been with sprint for a full year but have a upgrade already.
[EVO 4G General] RTC88:
How exactly does this resetting work in my case, when my one year mark is in july?
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
If your 1 year is before April 1st, it will stay, if it's after it will be removed by the system. When was your last upgrade?
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
You would have to contact Sprint in July when it would have been due (assuming you have continued to stay at at LEAST the $69.99 the entire year, even after April 1st)
[EVO 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
Never had an upgrade, I have only been with sprint for like 6 months.
[EVO 4G General] novanosis85:
SprintFreeMsg:

Upgrade for

06/01/11 SAVE $150 w/2 yr contract ($75 w/1 yr)

Sprint. The Now Network

Is this right? If I use the upgrade I also have to add another year or two to my contract?
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
How'd you get that message? Is there a number to text?
[EVO 4G General] djdisturbed:
use your "sprint zone" app
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Then you don't have a yearly upgrade unless you switch to an $89.99 plan for 3 months or, call in when you would have had your 1 year and ask for a reset.

Your upgrade will also be removed come April 1st, same scenario as above, you have to call in and ask.

Also, if you do use your upgrade you will sign either a 1 or 2 year contract.
[EVO 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
Yea I got an upgrade right now. Even had the sprint store Rep look it up for me to make sure I was looking at it right.
[EVO 4G General] novanosis85:
So there are customers out there that upgraded once a year and have accumulated like a 6 year contract? As an example of course.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
As long as it's because it's already been 1 year, you're okay. If it shows you have an upgrade but you upgraded less than 1 year ago, you will lose it come April 1st, unless you've been with Sprint 10+ years or switch to the newer, qualifying plans.

No, contracts don't stack, they reset themselves.
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
EDIT: I do have the upgrade there, overlooked it.

It's not a real upgrade, just 150$ discount... which is still better thank nothing.
[EVO 4G General] novanosis85:
Shroomz! What should I say to the petty lady at my Sprint store come upgrade time?

How can I have here call you/ retention to reset this? Mehhhh
[EVO 4G General] smarmytime:
I bought my Evo outright, under the mistaken impression that I could get Sprint service without a 2 year contract. That was in August, I believe...when the Evo 3D is available, will I be able to get it at the subsidized price, or will I have to wait til my one year mark (or longer!) to do so? If I have to wait, I won't lose any sleep over it or anything, but I am curious.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
$150 is the full upgrade. As real as it gets.

She would just call and ask and explain the situation.

You are not under a mistaken impression, if you bought an unsubsidized phone, your contract should have not been restarted.
[EVO 4G General] starplaya93:
This thread is confusing me! I read through it all but i'm not sure what exactly is going on...

Are you guys saying that sprint announced it will make people eligible for a full upgrade once they have reached one year on contract? Are you guys referring to sprint premier which has recently changed, or something else?

I joined sprint/got my evo the first month it came out on a family plan (however, not the 169.99 one that qualifies for sprint premier). What does this mean for me?

Where did you guys get this info from?

Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G General] smarmytime:
I wasn't a Sprint customer at the time, I was an AT&T customer. I actually went the route of buying outright for more than just the idea of going off contract; at the time, you couldn't find an evo anywhere, except for ebay. So I had to open a new account, and multiple people at Sprint told me I had to get a 2 year contract (believe me, I called, visited different stores, trying to find someone that would help me out, to no avail). Needless to say, I felt like a bit of a sucker. But that's my own fault, I should have called Sprint first.

So since I never technically got a phone on this contract, do you think that Sprint will let me slide when the new Evo comes out?
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
If you bought your phone on Ebay you qualify for an upgrade and you should NOT be under contract unless you accepted a port credit or a contract renewal credit.
[EVO 4G General] smarmytime:
Ok, thanks...so I'll probably get the Evo 3D when it drops.

No idea what you mean by a port credit, but I received no credit of any kind.
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
If it's a 600$ phone then I will still have to pay 450$. If it never gets better than that then I definitely see myself letting my contract expire and starting over.

It's still not a bad deal, but hardly worth it signing up for 2 more years =p
