Yeah and my wife also has the Epic. I get far better battery life than she does. We both leave work at the same time, and at the end of the day her phone is usually dead on the way home and I still have 30-40% left.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skully1983:
EVO For An Epic

I have both phones, and I think I am about to reiterate what a few people have said before. The epic does have a few things going for it, but I believe the user experience and SUPPORT are just way better for the evo. I took my evo back from my ex a week ago and it has been in my pocket way more than my epic. For a phone sprint likes to push as one of their top phones, the epic just doesn't have the support it needs from samsung. Long story short, stick with HTC.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawdikrik:
The epic is Not a step forward. They are from the same generation of smartphones.

If you really want a keyboard, then you will want a Evo Shift.

Stick with the Evo... at least til you can get a 3d or whatever else is coming down the pipes. with the new GB update and all the new 3.0 roms out there, the Evo will have a nice new jolt of life.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
No brainer. Why don't you go up 2 sprint and pick up the epic and play with it for 3 mins. I promise your mind will change immediately. It feels like a cheap plastic piece of ish! The capacitive buttons are a joke. You'll have to learn different methods, ie root, ext4 journal, etc. Its more bulky than the evo in pocket with less screen size, and the final reason..............SAMSUNG. I just hope the galaxy s 2 is on a different level or im not getting it.

I just got my sensation and i was wondering if there is root available yet?

I was wondering the same thing, would like to remove some of my T-Mo bloatware on my Sensation 4G

Absolut senseless Thread.

If there is no guide how to root the sensastion, the sensation is not rootable yet...

Im not been nasty but have you bothered to read any of the other threads before posting?
[HTC Sensation] myunitisz:
................................forget it
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Seriously, go and read the threads mate. It's not hard! Like mushweed said, if the Sensation has been rooted, there would be a guide on how to root. Do you not think so?

No need to waste time posting useless threads, and the saying "..........forget it" like it's OUR fault YOU can't read.
[HTC Sensation] twohandsgaz:
Can a mod please delete this thread ASAP. Its hard enough to glean the necessary details you want without more clutter. Let the Devs crack on and we will get an answer sooner rather than later. I cant wait. :)

WTF ?

WoW Guys ... how agressive you're all ...

Noob or not Noob, that is not the question ...:D

If somebody ask something, and if the answer is so obvious, MAY BE, this is not the case for the "asker" ...

You don't need to be agressive like that, and in other worlds : you could just answer not yet, and by the way explain, we are waiting for that too, but if it was the case, surely, we had a section on that.

Seriously, did you forget the first post ever you've done ?

By the way, FORUMs exist to help and share, not to fire the first one who ask something that seems to be simple for you..
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
how long did it take for other devices to be unlocked ?? s-off and stuff
[HTC Sensation] cjm1979:
The rules of the forum state that you should read and use the search. I dont post very often because i read mainly and dont ask for help unless i have not found it anywhere else first. I know that the Forums exist to help and share but if they can't be bothered to try and help themselves first then why should they expect others to help them. Do you realise how much easier the forum would be to find the information you need if it wasnt filled with bollocks threads and questions like this thread? I mean its a brand new section for Sensation development, so its not heaving with posts but if the OP had read the first few threads the answer to his question would of been obvious and would of saved having this thread.

anyone have an .apk for Google Music? I tried to download it from the market, but for some reason it's not showing up. I tried the one from the Android Apps forum, but it just FC's on me.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] rickyjohn:
this apk worked for me. im just waiting on Google for the music account.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] playpolo4life:
Awesome thanks so much. I just got my account today, and its so sweet. The only bummer is that the upload speed is atrocious.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ZooDad:
Great post. I have been looking for this.

Thank you

how do i upload my music?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Diskb0x:
Just got mine this morning and seems to work well. Download/upload speeds are good (I'm on a 100Mb line using wifi though) :cool:
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] raphifix:
Click the "Add Music" link at the top right of the Google Music site and then download the Music Manager program.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] dragonrazorz:
alright thanks
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Tsaesci:
Anyone else getting "Application not Installed" using the .apk?

Edit:

Fixed this by rebooting phone, uninstalling the supposedly failed installation, and trying again. At first there was no Music showing up in the application, so I closed it. Navigated to settings, accounts and sync, switched off Auto Sync and manually synced my Music. Now it works like a charm.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] neederishelp:
just got my invite today, started loading at about 3, and i'm at 90 of 9000, i think it's gonna take a while.

I installed the apk attatched at the beginning of the thread, and it worked great.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] jaydizman:
if you actually get an invite on the eris is it fully functional or does landscape still force close?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Alan Wolfe:
Still FC for me. v3.0.1.339
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] dragonrazorz:
mine works fine....beed to delete a few songs n make sure it streams, but mine works landscape, n portrait
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Alan Wolfe:
Any update?

I had Music FC on me several times this past weekend. It will flat not run in landscape mode on the Album tab.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] bigdaddyblues:
Does your album view in landscape work also?

it suppose to be like coverflow like the iphone.

Also what version are you running?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] chris22_2:

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] dragonrazorz:
i cant get it to work either, i installed it on my other phone n it worked right away....and i think i had ut workun on tazz end rom
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] MongooseHelix:
The little bit of time I messed around with it, I was able to tell it what account to sync but then it force closes when starting the main app activity. After getting a logcat, it looks like it's an issue with graphics/opengl es. From that bit of info, I'm guessing it needs opengl es 2.0 to be able to run. I didn't look any more into it so that may not be correct and if I have a chance I might decode it to explore the smali code. Seems doubtful that it will work for us though.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] dragonrazorz:
i got it to sync too....weird thing is i was using a different rom when it worked(tazz)....but wont work on cs rom ....its no big deal really...it doesnt even sync my music on my tablet so idk
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] anticler:
Im gonna try it )
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] CondemnedSoul:
I installed from the market to my Inc. Pulled the apk from the phone and installed on my Eris running my CCM7 Rom. It's working fine on my Eris right now for me. syncing my music and no FC in landscape. attached is the apk I'm using....

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] CondemnedSoul:
If you have Google music installed you might want to uninstall it first. No need to delete the stock music though. It worked fine for me so far on my Rom, evervolv, 3.5 sense as well.

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Amazingbman:
I can't get it to play any music. It shows all my music from Google Music but when I try to play one it just doesn't. It worked fine before I updated to gsb4.2. I did delete all my music from the sd card, not sure why that would effect the streaming.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Amazingbman:
I got it streaming:D, I installed the 4.01 then installed the 3.01 over it without unistalling the newer one. Just uninstalled and installed the 3.01 apk and bingo. It works fine now, unfortunately found out you can only stream to one device at a time. :(

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z0nker:
Bought this phone wanting faster internet than what I had.

I really have not messed with this phone for 3 months and have been OK with what I am paying and the speeds I get. Nothing to write home about, but faster than what I had.

For almost a week now the thing has a hard time getting connected then it is really bad once connected.

Always dropping off (getting lost) Having to reload pages over and over because the signal goes away.

It switches from 3G back to 1x a lot.

A friend rooted this and installed tether, taskiller, and a few other things I can't remember.

I had tried to remove stuff running in the back ground as best I could a couple of months ago trying to save battery life (which sucks) with no problems.

So what gives?

I live 40 miles south of the Nations Capitol and 20 miles west of the great Interstate 95 bumper to bumper traffic corridor.

I know where the tower is (4 miles away) and don't think there will be any new ones anytime soon.

It's still out in the sticks.

Frustrated and I really don't want to brick this phone since I got rid of my landline.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWhiteBandito:
Root it, flash the .04.08 leaked evo radio. I'm running it and have gotten much better 3g speeds. You won't regret it

Sent from my HTC Incredible
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Truckin'Ain't4Sissies:
If you do ROOT your Inc you'll want to flash a custom ROM to get the optimized experience.

I would suggest SkyRaider 4.0

Also if you upgrade to the evo radio (2.15.4.08) BE CAREFUL! This is the easiest way to brick your phone.

Download the radio and also download the app called MAND5 from the market.

ManD5 will verify the checksum of the radio.

Compare the checksum to the downloaded radio to what it says it should be in either the thread or website.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Truckin'Ain't4Sissies:
Also, SR4.0 has wireless tether included in the ROM.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quantumroot:
Personally, I'd opt for the 2.15.10.05.06 Incredible GB radio, as it's resulted in a low-but-reliable signal in some previously intermittent-signal areas I frequent here in the same area of the country. It's important to note that the effectiveness of the various radios seems to vary from phone to phone and location to location, so YMMV.

As for a custom ROM, if you like Sense, the previously mentioned SkyRaider 4.0 is nice, but if not, CyanogenMod 7 is really quite lovely. A Sense ROM will obviously be more like what you already have, but I have non-technical friends who have transitioned to a vanilla build with no problem.

Kernels can also help with battery life. I use Incredikernel--there's a 12/23 Sense kernel if you want to stick with a Sense ROM, or the 4/19 stable if you go with a vanilla gingerbread build, as well as an upcoming new release (currently in beta).

My understanding is that flashing radios is the most dangerous part, but it's also very straightforward. I know modding the phone can be a bit intimidating, but as long as you read and follow instructions, make frequent backups, don't go installing random things willy-nilly, and ensure you've got sufficient battery life, the risks are minimal. Plus, it can become a bit addictive.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frostincredible:
If you're in warranty, root. If you brick it you will just be without a phone for a few days while you ask for a refurb (I know, I'm currently on my 3rd DInc, first one bricked and second got USB Bricked), but if that's not acceptable than just don't flash a radio. If you don't flash radios, there is a very low chance of getting bricked.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfarrah:
It sounds like you don't have much personal stuff on the phone. I'd make sure my contacts are backed up then do a factory reset. Let Google bing your contacts back then do a *228 Option 1. This way you'll have at least gotten rid of any interfering apps (I've heard that Task Killer can cause issues) and you'll know that your phone is programmed to the current towers.

THEN, if it still has problems, of if you just want to explore, you can start playing! :D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjskalet:
i have had my phone since it came out and rooted it as soon as i could and i still have luckily not bricked it. just make sure you back everything up and check md5 sums with the radios and test different radios, since some will work better than others.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z0nker:
You guys are speaking a whole different language

I have no idea what most of you are talking about and don't know where to look for this stuff.

"Root it, flash the .04.08 leaked evo radio" No idea what you saying here

"If you do ROOT your Inc you'll want to flash a custom ROM to get the optimized experience.

I would suggest SkyRaider 4.0

What is radio? I don't want to listen to radio.

What would happen if I just tried the *228 option?

Verizon said I needed to do this every few months but I am concerned it will mess up the root job my friend did on the phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Your not gonna mess anything up doing a *228, don't worry about that.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjskalet:
*228 wont do anything to your phone just type *22899 and it skips all the talk and goes straight to the, I guess you call it the update screen.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keyboards:
Lmao...

The radio on your phone is the firmware that is used to communicate with the cell tower. Your going to want to look at this thread and read it over a couple times before even rooting your phone...

...and also read the thread that's hyperlinked in that post.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spence341:
From your last response, I wouldn't changed anything. There are all kinds of tutorials that take you through a step by step process to root. If you do a little research, you could have all your questions answered.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirrin:
Words of warning

One of the surest ways to brick one of these is by not being patient enough. Never if your flashing something never pull the battery. Only flash when your battery is over 50% if it dies in the middle of flashing something it can brick it. Flashing roms and kernals is pretty safe following the above 2 cautions.

Flashing radios is kinda on the edge due to it accessing a completely diffrent memory space really you only need to worry if the radio you flashed is not the correct one for your phone or is corrupt due to some downloading error. This is why the md5 is checked if it passes chances are the download happened as it was susposed to and is the correct file.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z0nker:
Probably right

Shouldn't mess with it.

Be nice if all this wasn't so "underground" and one could walk in to a store and say

unlock this and give me what I want with a guarantee that it isn't going to be an expensive paperweight.

I got this thing thinking I would finally have decent internet speeds.

If I had known I was going to have to update roms and radios and who knows what else every other month I never would have got the stupid thing.

I haven't had a cell phone for 10 years.

And didn't miss it either.

See people everyday clutching the thing like it was an umbilical cord to momma.

Ridiculous. . . . and sad.

So I am going to ask again, if I do the *22899 thing, will it screw up my tether or rooted phone from getting online?

Will I have to alter anything else after *22899 ?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfarrah:
Your phone should reboot after the programming. If it doesn't, turn it off and turn it back on.

Reading your input above, you might be more comfortable with something less complicated. Go back to your rotary dial land line.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z0nker:
That helped

That seems to have helped anyway.

Thanks for the replies, even from you young pompous types.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coop9:
I don't think anyone is being pompous here.

Rooting a phone is not always the answer. You need to understand what you're doing, and what the risks are. There is plenty of information on this forum to learn what rooting, flashing roms, and flashing radios entails... If you are interested. If you are not, I would not recommend rooting.

Verizon gives you what they are comfortable guaranteeing. They understandably are not going to support multiple ROMs or unofficial radios. My wife's phone is stock, because *I* don't want to support it. Nothing wrong with that.

It is rather hard to brick this phone if you understand what you're doing. On the other hand, if you don't know what *NOT* to do, you could end up with a brick fairly easily. Read the posts out there designed for beginners. Understand what you want to do. Make sure you have time to finish what you want to do. If any of these things seem like too much to do, leave it stock.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjskalet:
^^agreed.

i mean if you are not comfortable rooting your phone then you probably shouldnt do it, but the only way you will learn is by doing it yourself. thats how most of us know bout everything you can do once your phone is rooted.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punman:
My suggestion, if you're confused or uncomfortable with the technology, DON'T MESS WITH IT. Lots of people use the stock phone software very happily. If you take it, completely unmodified, to Verizon, and explain your problem, they'll be happy to assist you.

You don't have to root. You don't have to do anything you aren't comfortable with. Good luck.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z0nker:
yea, thanks all

I am not comfortable mainly because I can't afford to brick this thing.

If I was back in the work force, no doubt I would be on here trying to figure it out.

As it is, I just want internet, no phone, no watching netflix on a 3 inch screen or any of the other wild stuff people do on these phones.

Smart ass remarks like " Go back to your rotary dial land line." don't help anyone.

All were where I am right now in the learning process, even the ones with Napoleon complex issues or more patience than me.
