Hey guys,

I have the rubber case that tmobile sold originally and I have the case from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=772826

besides the above 2, that I already have, case mate, and otterbox what are some other options?

A friend of mine has a Fascinate and he has a case that is pretty good looking. It feels a little harder, but does not offer as much protection as it does not cover the top or bottem edges. Do we have something similiar?

or what other cases do you guys have or reccommend besides what I listed above?
[Vibrant Accessories] ld006:
Try looking at the TPU cases

isn't the one in my link, that i already have, TPU?

AFAIK, there are Market apps that can make your Nexus S become an FTP or SSH server.

I'm pretty sure there are also apps that enable your Nexus S to become FTP or SSH client as well.

Hi. I own HTC Touch Pro T7272, i DID read the sticky, but I am still confused (may be because of my bad english). I have WM 6.5.3 right now, bit it's more and more laggy. I found out, that Android could be installed ony my device? If yes, would it be faster then WM 6.5? My father has Android and I like it more. If you would be so nice and post here link with guide where download and how to install Android into my phone? Thank you
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] R^7Z:
Right now, I'd stick with winmo. If you find winmo is laggy, then installing Android is not the answer. I like it as a means to play around with but a part from that, nothing else seems to really fascinate me about Android, yet. Yeah, you can brag that you are running an OS other than what comes natively but over-all development is really slow for our device at the moment. If you like Android, my best suggestion is to get an Android native device. I'm sure this isn't the answer you were looking for but just thought I'd share my expereince with running Android on an older device. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hotsmusic:
for me i think android for touch pro is still have many bugs now. I have try to install froyo fx06 bundle, for the first time look i think it works good then windows but after a day i found that it drain battery, and sometimes wifi error and i need to restart my phone back to get it work, and the real problem is sometimes it's freeze. maybe we just need to wait a little while for someone release the new version.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asmd6230:
Hi guys...

i usually lurk over at the hd2 forums as ive been running american droid on my hd2 with much satisfaction. finally decided to buy a native android phone and signed up with sprint. bought a evo 4g and an epic 4g.

firstly, let tell you guys that their coverage map is a joke! says that im well covered by 4g. i cant even get a signal while standing outside. pathetic.

anyway. my data speed out of the box was something like 10kbps download, it was horrible!! but oddly enough the epic was flying along at about 300kbps!!?? called customer support and they walked me through steps that didnt help at all. went to sprints repair store the next day, they danced the dance and finally concluded that the phone was defective after PRL updates, reboots, what all and to ask for a replacement. (bought it from amazon wireless).

while there i thought id ask for the MSL. lady asked why? said i knew of some very clever folks on the internet that may be able to help me out. she shrugged me off as if she knew better and although hesitant, gave the number to me.

i came home and did the "fix" as noted here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=922978

and now im getting speeds of 400-500 download.

so here comes the sticky question... is this slow data bug only a evo 4g problem or does it affect all sprint phones? (didnt affect the epic 4g)

should i ask for a replacement?

is this a phone specific problem or a general evo 4g problem?

should i send int he evo 4g and settle for a 2nd epic 4g if its more reliable? (does come better kitted though... 16 gb memory card, a really decent pair of ear buds. i dont particularly care for hardware keyboard though)

appreciate any and all help guys.

regards,

asmd.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Welcome to the club of ****ty download speeds. No matter what prl I've tried or hack 3G and 4G(area related) are just jokes. The problem could be HTC related but I find it odd yet possible that your epic gets faster speeds. I also find it strange that they said the phone could be defective lol. If you're into changing roms like a madman then the evo will have more development than the epic(still a great phone). It would be your call if you would want to exchange it for another but I doubt getting a new one will help.

Epic does have better screen and gpu than the evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asmd6230:
thanks for the reply... heres the odd thing though. they did the "caveman" speedtest by putting several evos from the store next to mine and hit enter in the borwser to make them load identical pages simultaneously and mine was the only one that sucked.

@ dirkyd3rk - so this slow download thing is a evo 4g problem then? (and doesnt affect the epic 4g?)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbsolutZeroGI:
Crappy data speeds seem to be isolated incidents here. It happens to quite a few people but not enough for it to be a problem that we all possess. I myself get excellent 4g signal and I'm on the edge of a 4g spot and my 3g speed is moderately good (about what your epic gets, give or take).

If you fixed your 3g speeds on the Evo, then I suggest keeping that Evo. You've already fixed the problem, there's no need to go out and get another one that you might have to fix again.

I have a friend with an Epic and I still like the Evo more. The Epic has a better GPU and screen, but the Evo has WAY more developer support (here on XDA) and better features. He schools me on benchmarks, but I can run Gingerbread with 3 different kinds of sense (1.0, 2.1, 3.0/2.1 hybrid from Virus) and he can barely run stable Froyo. We've got so many stable Froyo roms, a flashaholic like myself has to flash multiple times a week to try them all.

Lastly, I've heard that Sprint service in heavily populated areas is rather sketchy. I live in a suburb and get great speeds, but downtown I can't keep a 4g signal to save my life and my 3g speeds blow ass. I couldn't even get a steady GPS reading to check into a place of foursquare. Left downtown and all was well again. If you still have the problem, go ahead and get the replacement (and make sure to remove any evidence that you did anything fun with it :P )

In the end it's up to you. The people over in the Epic forums are cool, but we here in the Evo forums are cooler :D lol.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asmd6230:
thanks for the reply,

will toy with it and decide. getting a replacement is going to cost me nothing. may just try it and chooses from the two to keep.

been playing with the epic as well. it doesnt feel as robust in my hand. it may have a better processor, but not in any real world advantage. and the screen is real nice but a little too super saturated. i do like the black levels though. since i have both i can compare and contrast all day long. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
The epic is barely better in terms of specs but it has an amoled screen which is way better than the evo's. Me personally, I love my evo and couldn't imagine having another phone. My main problem with the epic is that it feels plastic as compared to the evo which feels solid. Maybe your phone could be defective I wouldn't be surprised based on the **** I've seen lol. I know you will make your own decision but I'd suggest the evo before anything else from sprint's lineup.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asmd6230:
btw which one has a better battery life?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
I've heard the epic does but it all depends on how one uses their phone. I get about 11 hours a day but I'm a very HEAVY user. Others on the forums can get anywhere from 15 hrs to about 32 hrs.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbsolutZeroGI:
With the right kernel/rom combo you can actually get extremely good battery life.

With a normal day's use (a couple hundred texts, a couple phone calls, etc), I've gotten results like this:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/absolutzerogi/5635211381/

That's MikFroYo 4.61 with Netarchy's 4.3.4 SBC-CFS-Havs-More kernel.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asmd6230:
thanks for the replies mate.

:)

if im understanbding this right, only some but not all evo 4g have the data speed problem and its correctable with the fix i did (although not permanent and has to be redone on occasion)

and here i was thinking i could walk away from the hd2 to its sexier twin without hassles. ha ha....

yeah, will probably stick with the evo 4g. 3d doesnt bother me, and super amoled is not a deal breaker for me. its a nice screen but its not that much nicer.

ive noticed that the epic suspends 4g when not in use as seen int he "Zzzz" symbol, does the evo 4g do this as well.. ive yet to see it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Nope lol, the evo 4G signal will continue to scan and drain your battery if you don't turn it off. You can thank HTC for that :-)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bear0056:
I have 2 questions about the ROM. The search feature of XDA seems to have changed and I am having difficulty searching the forums for these answers.

1. When I get a call waiting, the phone asks if I want to hold the first call or end it. Other ROMS that I have used do not ask this question and just place the call on hold. Is it possible to turn this question off. I cannot seem to find the answer.

2. When I am writing an email, suggestive text does not appear. It appears when I am doing other tasks, such as texts, etc. Can this be enabled or is it a feature yet to come?

thanks for the help!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franciscojavierleon:
Yesterday i was chatting away on the phone , and realized i wanted a solution that would let me control the phone from the pc.

I installed droidvnc server but somehow it doesn't work, it automatically stops the server as soon as you try to connect to it.

So today i thought of another solution (besides buying a bluetooth keyboard), which is to emulate a bluetooth keyboard in software installed to the pc.

I have searched this and apparently it isn't easy to do. I have a bluetooth dongle on my windows laptop, but this isn't enough since i would need to emulate the proper hid profile.

Is this possible? Or do you know of another solution?

Hi guys. I have a problem with my HTC dream. The screen won't light up, but you can still see the home page, texts and stuff. It's like the brightness is set to 0%, but its not. Also, the phone got really slow and laggy. Sometimes, the screen lights up for 2 seconds, then gets dim again. I tried factory reset and formatting my sd card, to no avail.

I'm not sure if this is related, but a few days before that happened, I plugged my phone into a computer teeming with viruses(stupid, i know).

What should I do? Could it be a virus?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
... are you sure?

Ok, viruses written for a windows system will not be able to infect a linux / android system, but I would not be so sure that there are no viruses for android.

Btw. I agree to you, that the problem of tonetskidoodles is not a virus infection, but most likely a hardware failure.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randymac88:
Hi everyone. For some reason, on my wife's Evo (running Evio 2 w/ Netarchy's latest kernel), music apps are not able to "see" any of my wife's music files. We had similar issues with her photos, but for some reason the gallery just started working again.

Basically, when I go in through Root Explorer I can see that the files are there, and even can play them in the music player, but when I open the Music player I just get a "no music found" error message. Tried using Winamp and it just scans my SD card and finds nothing.

I re-formatted her SD card last night, re-synced all of her music, and still no dice. She is growing weary of bugs like this and is beginning to beat the drum for iPhone ("my old iPhone never had these problems!"), so I desperately need to solve this problem quickly.

Can anyone help or shed some light on what might be happening? Thanks in advance!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Make sure there isn't a .nomedia file in there... that'll stop the music from being scanned. Also make sure it's in the "music" folder, although some apps scan everything, some scan what you tell it to scan, and others only scan the "music" folder & its subfolders.

My Evo + xda Premium App = This post.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KB112:
Try to unmount then mount your sd card.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
+1 on this. Look in all your folders where your media is, and be sure there isn't a .nomedia file in there. If there is, delete it and reboot the phone. Problem will be gone.

I'm not even sure how the .nomedia file's become present in certain folders, but it can happen. (certain apps auto create them and place them there for reasons unbeknownst to me)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Also, with the .37 kernels, the usb transfer/read speeds were slow, so it could just "show up" after a period of time, but yes, either check for the .nomedia folder, or a quick reboot will make it show up.

Thanks everyone. I will check her phone tonight when I get home for the .nomedia file...sounds promising.
[Atrix 4G General] MaluNoPeleke:
When I receive a text message while flight mode is enabled it gets the timestamp from the moment when I turn off flight mode but that is not the time when the message was sent.

Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] :
http://goo.gl/aFEFU
[Atrix 4G General] MaluNoPeleke:
Sorry but I don't understand how that application can fix the problem.

The time doesn't stop while flight mode is active and I don't care about a few ms but I care about the hours of sleep while flight mode is active and text message are received without the right timestamp.
[Atrix 4G General] lol Qaeda:
This is actually a known Android issue, and it's infuriating.

For any cell phone (as far as I know), if the radio isn't able to access the network (flight mode, phone turned off, whatever) for a period of time and later obtains a connection, all "missed" items will be pushed to the phone. Just basic cell phone 101 stuff.

Here's where the problem is, though:

With any other phone out there, from the cheap ol' Nokia handsets to top-tier WP7 smartphones, once the phone is reconnected to the network and received those missed SMS the timestamp on them will be marked as the time the sender sent them. If the phone is disconnected at 12:00 A.M., somebody messages you at 4:30 A.M., and a connection isn't reestablished until 6:00 A.M., the message will arrive shortly after 6:00 A.M. but will be marked as being sent at 4:30 A.M. - that's how it's always been as far as I can remember and that's the way it ought to be.

With the Android OS, however, if you follow the same scenario above (off at 12, message at 4:30, on at 6) the message, when received, will be marked with a timestamp around 6:00 A.M. There's a post on the official bug report list about it but apparently El Goog doesn't care. Share your thoughts.

This is probably my biggest frustration with Android right now, and it's entirely unnecessary.

Looks like the issue's over two years old, though, so don't expect an official fix anytime soon.

EDIT: In the Google thread I linked to above there are some workarounds. This app in particular has worked for me, but it has to be running before the messages arrive... shouldn't be a problem with you as you have your phone in flight mode; just make sure to run the app before coming out of it/getting the messages.

Hope this helps you out a bit!

[Optimus One, P500, V General] thewillb:
Is this possible? In a perfect world I could go to Best Buy, grab a GoPhone LG Thrive, pop my wifes non data family plan sim in there, somehow block 3g, and she could keep her current plan untouched and use WiFi for the occasionaly internet usage.

Thoughts?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] wally509:
I don't remember the settings in stock 2.2 Froyo, but on the CM7 roms there are widgets to set data 2G, 2G/3G, 3G and on/off. You can probably download an app that'll do that.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] thewillb:
I'm pretty sure that will block the data, but my fear is that as soon as AT&T recognizes the model number on the phone they will add a data plan to the account.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kopchev:
Froyo 2.2 including LG Thrive has Data ON/OFF switch, so don't bother using the phone without data plan. You can also delete the APN settings, so the phone cannot use data even the latter is enabled. It sounds very wierd the operator to activate a data plan without your permission.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] thewillb:
So, wifi wont work either?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kopchev:
Wi-Fi will work. Wi-Fi has a separate switch. There is a switch that turns on/off only the 3G/EDGE/GPRS data.
