Return policy

The seller will not accept returns for this item.

He's just trying to get money. I'm sure it wasn't unlocked at all.
[KIN Two Software Development] fazi13:
what if we could post a kind of online petition asking Microsoft, Nvidia, or Sharp for something, anything whatsoever. Possibly if Microsoft would continue through with their idea of running WP7 on the Kin from the very beginning of the release before dumping it realizing that they were far too behind. Say we get like 5,000 digital signatures for it, maybe Microsoft will get to work on it? I mean they still have to have SOMEONE working on the device otherwise these newer Kin TwoM's that will not revert to the original Kin Two OS would not be out there
[KIN Two Software Development] tjacoby2006:
Hey everyone, sorry to take so long to reply to the thread!

I asked him for a picture of it running as well as some directions as to how he did it... He told me he'd get me a picture and never did, then told me (jokingly) that if he told me how he did it he'd have to kill me. I don't think he was telling the truth or didn't know what he was saying.

Yeah, it should still work (I will check in a bit). If you wanna pay for me to ship it I will send it to you.

Ok, so what would everyone like to see on this site? I don't want to drive traffic from here, certainly, but it would be nice to have a place where we can really consolidate some stuff.
[KIN Two Software Development] tjacoby2006:
I don't think we can count on anything from MS. Considering the fact that they have re-released the phones they will not have any interest in offering an "unlock" procedure, or at least not so long as Verizon has any input in it (which they have a LOT).

You will need a JIG - you can build one yourself for a couple bucks or buy one off Ebay or mobiletechvideo (8-9$ with shipping)

I have got myself into download mode from that screen without a jig before. I took out the SIM and SD cards, and while holding volume down and the power button, I plugged in the USB (Odin was already started) then inserted the battery. It took a couple of trys but it worked.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Not sure that will work as he might be missing or have lost button combo with that bad flash.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emoratori:
Hello,

I live in Brazil, and on my last trip to the US i got a AT&T galaxy tab. I allready tried to unlock it on every handset store on my city. I even called the brazilian samsung, they told me to get in touch with the US samsung... did that. They passed the ball to AT&T, said that they´re the only one that could give me the unlock code. But it seens that it is impossible to get in touch with AT&T not being a customer. So I would apreciate if someone that is a AT&T customer, could help me unlocking my tab.

thanks in advance.

Going to pickup my Stylus now and wondering what app should I get? I want to be able to take notes, then save to word or pdf and view later
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
which stylus are you getting out of interest?
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
Well, Handrite so far has probably been the best 'let me write **** down now' app, and its pretty simple and quick.

I think I have installed every note taking app in the market and have settled on it.

I'd like to see a 'wrist gaurd' so to speak so I can actually lay my hand on the screen and write - ipad has a note app that does it.

There are other more complex apps like Evernote that let you sync stuff to the cloud - but those are a little too much for my need, mainly my notes are written and just temporary 'todos' or 'how todos'

BTW, if you get the Griffin stylus - return it , the tip is to soft and you'll end up scratching the screen (thank god for screen protectors)

[Xoom General] ninjalex76:

How does the stylus itself work though, assuming your wrist isn't touching the screen? I really want to try one out, but not for $25. I feel like the foam tip would make writing a bit weird. Does it?
[Xoom General] DroidHam:
its decent, i wont be using it for writing. I have the Xoom keyboard i guess ill use that when I need to. I am just going to use it for normal stuff when i dont want fingerprints everywhere

[Xoom General] progmode:
I've been trying out every hand writing app I can find. So far, the two I like most are MaplePaint (for quick handwritten notes/diagrams) and WritePad for more detailed documents.

I should note that WritePad is a keyboard replacement rather than a self contained app. You can use in conjunction with any text input (I've been using it with Quickoffice). I've been playing around with the WritePad free trial (you have to get it off www.phatware.com) all day and I'm more or less convinced it is worth the $10.
[Xoom General] ggareis:
Does evernote allow you to write notes with a styles?

HTC Flyer has that 'stylus interupt' thing doesnt it? where you can lean on the screen as it 'disables' the finger touch when you are writing with a stylus...

Hi, I have a rooted eco5 with absoluetly no bloatware. Whenever I use gps it says it cannot find me. Is there anyway to fix that? I've heard of an app that fixes gps, but I don't remember the name. Also I'm sorry for not using the search function, lol
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
GPS Status?

There is also a mod in the development section that suppose to help fix it.
[Epic 4G General] alexnaoumi:
Thanks for the help. It was gps status.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
There was also AGPS to clear the gps data and download fresh info.

Do you BONSAI?
[Epic 4G General] mkasick:
Yes. Unfortunately the Epic suffers from a few GPS problems under EC05 and we're working on a comprehensive fix for them. However, we're still trying to understand exactly what folks's problems with the GPS are. If you're willing, you could be an incredible help with that.

Has your GPS ever worked prior to EC05? Did it stop working after you upgraded, and hasn't since?

Also, please use GPS Test when testing the GPS as it allows for the easiest understanding of what your current problems are. When using GPS Test, you'll probably want to go into Menu, Settings, and disable the "Keep screen on" option so your screen doesn't shutoff while attempting a fix.

Can you run GPS Test and report what happens? A "good" fix is when the "GPS on" light turns green in 10 seconds or so. A "poor" is when it takes anywhere from 30 seconds to a few minutes to get a fix outdoor in clear skies. "No" fix is when it's unable to get a fix even after 4-5 minutes of good visibility.

If you can report back how GPS Test works, we can debug this a bit further.
[Epic 4G General] cmus:
I can report on a rooted stock EC05 that GPS has stopped working altogether. Using gps test it never gets a signal. In Maps, the gps icon doesn't even turn on any more. Yes, gps is enabled under settings. This behavior first appeared after I installed Advanced Task Killer and I am not sure if ATK is killing some process that keeps gps from starting. Any ideas or any more info I could provide you to try to help figure it out?
[Epic 4G General] mkasick:
So in GPS Test the "GPS on" light just stays yellow and the GPS icon in the notification bar just blinks? And this is across full reboots (power cycles) too?

It's probably unrelated to ATK. Did it work in EC05 prior to ATK?

We've identified a few issues with the GPS in EC05, one of which is that the GPS can crash and programs are no longer able to use it, but it recovers again after a full power cycle.

What we haven't been able to identify yet are the exact causes of why the GPS doesn't work at all for some folks. Mostly since everyone who has posted in the development thread now have working GPSes, so we no longer can get solid debugging info on them.

Yes, definitely. Are you familiar with running adb commands?

If you can, what would be really helpful would be to enable "USB debugging" on your phone, and reboot (full power cycle) it. Then, as soon as the phone is booted (network is up and it's done "Preparing external SD card"), plug in the USB cable and run on your computer in a command line:

adb shell "logcat -v time > /sdcard/logcat.txt"

That command shouldn't return immediately, which is what we want. Wait a few seconds, then run GPS Test and wait about 30 seconds or so. Then close GPS Test, and do a Control-C in the "adb shell" terminal which stops the logcat.

Finally, pull "logcat.txt" off your SD card and either attach it here, host it, or email it to me, I'll PM you the details.

Sorry it's a bit complicated, but that's the only way we've been able to get all the necessary information on what the GPS does from boot through a first fix attempt. If you have any questions about running that, feel free to ask.

Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] cmus:
Hi Mkasick,

so I just rebooted, and fortunately (or unfortunately) gps works. This is how it seems to go for me. It will work for a while on a fresh reboot, but after a while (maybe a day or half day) it fails to start again. When it doesn't work, the gps test behavior you describe is exactly right - icon says "on" and icon light stays yellow. So I assume the ADB logcat file is not meaningful to you if it works right now, correct?

I should also say that from time to time, toggling other radios using the drop down menu from the status bar also fails to work. Wifi specifically will fail to toggle on. Again, this usually happens after the phone is on for a day or so. Glad to hear that ATK is not the likely culprit because installing it has really improved my battery life a lot.

Let me know what I can do to help. You are awesome for working to make this phone better for the rest of us who don't have any coding skills. Should I get that logcat file the next time I notice the gps won't start?
[Epic 4G General] mkasick:
OK, there's a few different issues that can cause that.

One is that the GPS will randomly crash upon exiting or switching away from a GPS-utilizing app, roughly every 1 in 20 times. When it does, the GPS no longer responds to any commands and the GPS icon will stay lit even after you close an app. We're finishing a workaround for this and I'll post it in the next day or two.

The other issue is that the GPS's ephemeris data appears to go stale earlier than it should. Here the GPS appears to work normally, with regard to icons blinking and such, it just can't use any satellites it finds for a few minutes, but if you're outside on a clear day it will eventually fix again. The existing workaround may address this. If you find the GPS won't fix, you can toggle the GPS icon outside of an app and that will download new assistance data which should hopefully help.

Probably not. Actually it might be hard to debug the GPS issues further until I get the crash workaround posted. In the meantime, you can at least discern if the problem is the crash by installing CatLog, and after the GPS demonstrates issues, open the CatLog and look for a line that says:

E/libgps (####): RIL Request: ERROR 1 (n=110, r=0)

The "n=110" is in particular a good indication of a GPS crash.

I've seen this on occasion too, but not frequently. I haven't had a chance to look into this issue further. It's possible ATK could be responsible here.

Mind running a few days with ATK off just to see if those issues continue to persist?

Thanks! At this point, I'm not sure a logcat will show anything new as long as your GPS does work after reboot. Probably the most useful thing would be to report if the existing workaround helps when your GPS stops working, as long as it's not due to a crash (which CatLog can verify).

I'll try to get that second workaround posted soon. This GPS crashing is annoying and hinders the debugging of other GPS issues.
[Epic 4G General] cmus:
So neither of the types of crash you describe really apply to what is happening to me. After my gps fails, the icon never comes on. Under the settings menu it says it is enabled, but no application ever gets the icon to come up and there is never any kind of message saying gps signal is lost or unavailable or anything like that. I will try to do what you say with regards to CatLog and send you whatever files seem relevant. ATK will be turned off.

Thanks again!
[Epic 4G General] mkasick:
That could be a crash. If the icon is on when it crashes, it will likely stay on until "Use GPS satellites" is toggled, at which point it will turn off and stay off. If the icon is off when it crashes, then it never comes on again.

The status of the icon doesn't matter as much as the GPS is utterly unresponsive as far as the phone is concerned.
[Epic 4G General] mkasick:
I've just posted the crash workaround. Feel free to flash it (gps_request_sync-EC05.zip in that thread). It's been tested on stock EC05 and SRF 1.1.0, althugh I think it should work on any EC05 ROM.

That alone may resolve your issues, if not, also try the assistance workaround in the same thread and we can go from there.
[Epic 4G General] Karade:
My GPS was working perfectly for months using the forced cold start. It has had the problem since the update to Froyo.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1028618

It seems to work at first but I think the "fix" has to do with rebooting the phone, as after a couple of days of uptime the problem of the Epic not using satellites that it sees returns.

Hi Guys,

OK, so the note at the bottom obviously didn't explain well enough that this is Stockwells Recovery, he made this, not me.

Sorry for any confusion caused :)

Just putting this here rather than sifting through the 38 page thread ;)

Installing recovery.img

You can download the image http://www.apksmash.com/x5/recovery.img

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY HAPPEN TO YOUR DEVICE

First thing to do is turn off the phone then hold power and BOTH volume buttons

http://www.apksmash.com/x5/howto/vbp.jpg

That will bring up this purple screen

http://www.apksmash.com/x5/howto/purple1.jpg

Next plug in your USB and you will be able to access it as a mass storage device

http://www.apksmash.com/x5/howto/massstorage.JPG

The next step is simply rename your recovery.img (for later access if needed) then put in the new one (found at http://www.apksmash.com/x5/recovery.img).

http://www.apksmash.com/x5/howto/image.JPG

Next turn off the phone (I’ve found that battery pulling is the only way out of recovery mode).

http://www.apksmash.com/x5/howto/battpull.jpg

Then put the battery back in and while the phone is still OFF, plug in the USB. This will show the Huawei screen and boot in to recovery

http://www.apksmash.com/x5/howto/recov.jpg

Easy enough to do :) Good luck and have fun!
