[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metzenw:
My phone did something similar, i was test my gps after doing the GPS Fix. Was using GPS Test by Chartcross. and i let it sit for maybe 20-30 minutes, cause i forgot about it, and when i went to close the app, the image was burned into the screen, took atleast 5 minutes for it to clear up. Is this the sign of the AMOLED's degrading? Cause thats what i read about them before i bought this phone that the organic material in the display is prone to degradation.

If this is the case, phones only, what 8 months old? if this keeps up, my screen might fail before my upgrade is due.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
you have to go with hours of use not months. Either way, sometimes amoleds can be slow in clearing images that are on the screen along time especially, if the the phone is always being used. To question a burn in image you need to test for that specifically

[Epic 4G General] fram0027:
Link/download worked for me. Although i forgot to move it to root, so the install failed. Battery is now low and don't want to risk the install until it is charged.

Will update when i get it charged and installed.

Update 1:

Looks like just having the update.zip on the root of the SD card will prompt the update process (No 3 button required).

Update 2:

Update worked perfectly.

I get the exact same result as offtohavasu, so its not just him. Downloaded directly to root of SD, renamed to just 'update' (because the .zip is in there by default).

Edit: in case it matters, I'm rooted with CWM 2.5.1.0 (one-click method), EB13 stock though, no custom ROM.

Does anyone have the link to the DI18toEC05?
[Epic 4G General] offtohavasu:
No, when installing EB13. Not EC05.

EB13 had an exe loader you could download from Samsung. That's how I installed EB13.

I'm just trying to see if there's a pattern of success with EB13 install OTA vs. the update.zip vs. the exe installer.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
When EB13 was released, there was an ota update, an update.zip, and a program for windows that is like a simplified odin, that's what is called .exe

[Epic 4G General] PythonFanTN:
Oh....never tried the .exe thing, but I don't think you can use that go to from EB13 to EC05. At any rate, the link to the file in the OP doesn't seem to work with CWM.

I'm not sure if the original One-Click has the revert script, but the 'All-in-One' OCR has it, its option #7. The thread where you can download it is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=808103

You don't need to remove root either, only revert back to stock recovery with option #7 after you use the run.bat. After its finished and the phone reboots, shut it off again, 3-finger to go into stock recovery and apply the update.zip from the OP after renaming and it should install, assuming you're also not missing any of the stock apps/apk's. If you are....let me know and I can point you to another thread with an easy method to restore any you're missing.

I would also like to add I had to revert back to the stock kernel since I was running mkasick's camera lag fix kernel. I was trying to run update and it would fail each time in stock recovery. I thought it could have been the kernel, so I Odined the stock kernel back and all is well.

What else did you root your phone for?
[Epic 4G General] ss4rob:
I am rooted with CWM 2.5, no custom rooms nor kernels. I downloaded this update after my notification popup method failed. I tried installing this by going to CWM and then choosing the default recovery but when it reboots, it stays at the Samsung logo. Obviously, installing the update.zip with CWM fails. How do I reinstall the default recovery so I can install the update.zip properly?
[Epic 4G General] offtohavasu:
See post #34 in this thread. It will link you to removing Clockwork, which is the problem.
[Epic 4G General] ss4rob:
Thanks, this updated me right away!

Last question, now that I'm back to stock, what is the recommended way to root and get CWM back? I've been using one.click.root.exploitv2.5.2 which has worked fine previously and I assume I still need to use a 2.5 version of CWM, but I don't want to break the phone... again. :)
[Epic 4G General] PythonFanTN:
The most updated of the straightforward OCR is 2.5.5, its in the Development section stickied at the top. Given my experience last night, I'd advise against using the All-in-One to try and return CWM2.5, it kept giving me an error saying there wasn't enough space. The regular/straightforward 2.5.5 OCR worked fine though.
[Epic 4G General] bomix:
I was able to download the update from the OP, and update to EC05 using CWMod,

For some reason when you click on Apply update on the first page It will not allow you to update.

But when you choose "Select install zip on SCDArd

Then you apply Update.zip from SDcard CWMod will push the update to the phone.

I can confirm that it works. I was using EB13 Stock +Root

Just update from the second page of CWMod.

Hi,

I am currently using a Samsung Galaxy S as phone.

I sold my Apple iPad to concentrate on one less Excosystem, Android.

I am now in the market for a Android tablet, looking at Zoom vs Gtablet.

My question to the experts in this forum is applications.

My concern with tablets is how apps work, with the iPad, some apps were created for iPad and some looked like an iPhone app on a bigger screen.

Will apps all apps that work on Foyo work on tablets?

Will apps that work on Foyo work on Honeycob tablets?

Before purchasing, I would like some assurances that the majority of apps I use today will either work on Zoom or G Tablet.
[Android Apps and Games] Sh8key:
Hi golfman2, I think they have to be optimized for the specific target. I am researching the same thing.

Bought the Xoom yesterday took it back today. The only reason I took it back was because for tablet development I think I should start small then go higher. So considering a Samsung 7" Gtab
[Android Apps and Games] BigJohn89:
I have a viewsonic G Tablet that I use in conjunction with my Evo, and I will tell you that most apps that I run on the Evo also run on the G-tablet as well. There are some slight drawbacks - mostly apps that aren't written to scale to the larger screens, but I am seeing that less and less in the apps that I download.

BTW, the VS G-Tab is very similar to the Xoom hardware, at about half the price - the only drawback I've seen so far is the screen on the G-Tab isn't the greatest as far as viewing angles are concerned. However the best thing would be to check out the XDA community for the G-Tablet yourself here:

I used andorid thought its one of the Best but want to try WP&? Is there a way like ihone to jailbreak and get apps for free paid ones. Also what are the main disadvantages and advantages?

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
Careful about getting free paid apps - a lot of people here are developers that depend on buyers. But the nice thing about WP7 is that a lot of apps/games have ad supported versions.

This discussion (Android vs. WP7) came up on my blog yesterday.

http://www.m-arcade.com/1/post/2011/03/hardware-htc-arrive-vs-samsung-focus-initial-impressions.html

Start in the second to last comment at the bottom of the page for context, and the response.
[Windows Phone 7 General] andoridkiller:
thnak swhat do you think about ti is it worth it also is it worth getting htc 7 trophy? What about custom roms any? good ones?
[Windows Phone 7 General] radeon_x:
No offense, but you're a god damn idiot.
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
you will get banned from this forum if you discuss getting paid apps for free. That's called warez and is illegal.

As far as comparing the two platforms, here is a basic rundown:

Things in WP7 that are better than Android

*smoother interface with cool animations

*facebook integration into the OS and people hub

*cool hubs that are well integrated and easy to access

*live tiles that update frequently with information

Things in Android that are better than WP7

*you can change the UI to anything you want (including very close approximations of WP7)

*more apps and better free apps/games

*music streaming apps like Pandora and Slacker

*3rd party multi-tasking (listen to Pandora or use messaging apps while doing other things)

*WiFi tethering

*change keyboards (HTC, AOSP, Swype, and many many more)

*much much better facebook app

*saved camera settings

*front facing cameras and video chat

*4G device for every network

*Widgets that you can add to your homescreen that give you information or do cool things.

*Flash support in browser (I was streaming NCAA games this past weekend on my phone)

*folders for apps

*much more development community

*dual-core CPUs on one device and more coming with 1080p HDMI output and other fun goodies.

*ability to mount USB storage

I'm sure I left out some things on both platforms. As you can see my comparison favors Android big time and I would suggest you will be happier with an Android phone. On GSM I'd recommend a Nexus S or a MyTouch4G or wait for a dual-core phone. On CDMA I'd wait for an Evo 3D.

[Windows Phone 7 General] amtrakcn:
Don't hold shift while pressing "7" key.
[Windows Phone 7 General] amtrakcn:
Several points cannot agree:

Things in WP7 that are better than Android

+Not only interface, but also games, apps. Better responsiveness in general

+Better battery life

+I like the camera app better than the Android stock

Things in Android that are better than WP7

-Currently Android launchers are far from similar to the real Metro UI

-There are more free games and apps, and paid apps are in general cheaper, but the quality isn't great

-Widgets actually cannot do cool things... They look like the widgets on your Windows Desktop however, Android widgets don't have any interactive feature. You cannot type anything into the textbox, you touch the textbox then the app launches.

And to OP, I think WP7 is not for you.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
i've seen several people mention this 'facebook integration into the OS' thing- what does it mean though ? i know iphone has facebook apps, as does android. or, (gasp) just navigate to facebook's mobile site, and enjoy less mess. :)

so, what is this deep integration all about ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
so like apple and android, windows phone also has a dedicated facebook application. what apple and android (with the exception of OEMs layering this in) is integrated facebook. what this does is combines your contacts with facebook so that it appears as one massive contact list. you can then link contacts to their facebook account (the phone does it for what it can match up in terms of names, and the rest you can manually link). the idea around this is that instead of having to go into facebook app, find the person, and see what they're doing, you merely click on them in the people's hub (your contact list) and there is a pivot which has "what's new".

this will eventually have twitter as well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
This works not only for contacts, but also for photos, you can view your friends' photos in the Pictures hub. Basically, unless you are a hardcore Facebook user, the OS handles everything you need. I wouldn't use Facebook any other way, at least not frequently.

Even more importantly, you get access to other networks via Windows Live. I am not a social network junkie, but LinkedIn is very useful.
[Windows Phone 7 General] conantroutman:
How did I miss this..... :rolleyes:

[HTC Incredible S] oli.henning:
Hi all together.

I'm interested if someone else can confirm this Problem. Situation:

- HTC Incedible S (brand new :))

- Provider: Orange Switzerland

We suddenly recognized, that it's not possible to call this phone :mad:. The caller just get's a voice-info that the "The person you have called is temporary not available. Please try later". But the other way round works perfectly, so a call-out FROM the Incredible works fine and everytime.

I did some investigations and discovered the following:

- When forcing to 2G (=GSM) the Problem disappears.

- When forcing to 3G (=UMTS) the Problem reappears - but...

- ... when at the same time "mobile data connection" is active --> Problem away!

So when i'm at my home then the WiFi-Connection automatically get's active and the "mobile data connection" get's offline. And in this situation no calls reach the phone any more. If i manually disable WiFi (and then "mobile data" get's active again): Voila, everything is ok.

Reenabling WiFi - mobile data goes off: No more incomming calls.

Disabling both WiFi and mobile data: Also no incomming calls.

It seems that the incomming-call-signaling is handled in a way that requires an active mobile-data-connection. This seems to be a little bit odd.

Thanks for any ideas or just a confimation that i'm not alone.

Oli

P.S.: Of course i called the providers hotline. But they just said that there is no problem in the net. I should try it a few days later agein. Damn...
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
Hmm sounds strange....

The only tip I can give currently: goto settings - WiFi & networks - mobile data. And check the mobile data always on.

It's not a real solution, but should fix it for the time being.

But it is strange... Should not happen, maybe there are some problems with there network, so keep trying for the next few days. Otherwise contact them again.
[HTC Incredible S] creative70:
ah! I believe this is something to do with the network provider. Do you live in a place where the network coverage is midiocre? I have the same problem with the iphone 4 (with the bumper ;) )... sometimes even I am not able to make calls... so I have to switch off my 3G! it is indeed odd coz it interupts with the wifi! Did you try doing a master reset?
[HTC Incredible S] oli.henning:
Thanks for this idea, but this option was already checked. This seems to be the default, so all my tests (as described in the first post) ran under this config (e.g. "mobile-data-always-on" is checked)

Hm. Still hope for any other ideas.
