Sorry but side by side, imo, the only things the epic has over the evo is physical keyboard (hate virtual) and samoled screen. No hdmi, smaller screen size, and boy do I love sense UI. lol
[EVO 4G General] ew1090:
I think wp7 was sort of fail and theyre just trying to make up the loss by being stingy bastards. Winmo 6.5 was better than wp7.
[EVO 4G General] dsf3g:
Agreed. Windows 7 is the best desktop OS that Microsoft has ever produced, and that is in no way an underhanded compliment.

That said, some of the patents that Microsoft is asserting in their Android licensing are pure B.S. Stuff like starting to draw a web page before the content has finished loading. Very obvious, should never have been granted a patent for that.

Honestly, the way licensing works is also ridiculous. Microsoft's patents probably constitute .01% of the IP that goes into something like Android. They should be getting pennies per device (if anything), not $5.00.
[EVO 4G General] NoSoMo:
.3" on screen size really doesn't do anything for you, especially when the SAMOLED looks 10x better. Not to mention, how often is the keyboard taking up the entire lower half of the screen....giving you what, a whole 2.3" of visible display? As far as HDMI out.....seriously, when is the last time someone used the HDMI port? The Samsung DLNA is a far better feature to have incorporated...no cables needed (and still just about nobody uses it). Better yet, using the USB hookup as a mass storage device to play video files with a TV/BluRay device that can do such looks far superior. Numerous times while visiting my folks I'll load a couple HD movies onto my Epics 16GB SD card and hook to the BluRay player via USB and play them via the BluRay device.

The EVO was the first, but not the best. Just accept the facts man, so many others do. Try this....take an Epic, and your EVO, and walk around to random people with the same video playing and ask people which looks better. If one person says the EVO looks better, drug test them, and you'll have your explanation. ;)
[EVO 4G General] jimisdad:
Like I said, the epic screen looks better. To each his own. I'll keep my solid feeling wvga EVO. You keep your cheap plastic feeling super amoled with waaaay less development..... :)

Windows and Microsoft sucks. Ubuntu for the win
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Ubuntu is inconsistent, badly designed, has poor batterylife, and has poor driver support (leading to things like poor graphic performance) like pretty much all Linux distros. Once you wipe off the open source crust from your eyes, you're pretty much left with an inferior OS. Even if you specifically build a Linux machine, which you pretty much have to if you want a fully working (as in close to it's potential and not "just working") machine, you're still left without some well developed software like Adobe CS. And if you say use WINE, have fun with that, I tried. WINE + CS5 = buggy beyond the point of trying.
[EVO 4G General] shadowstalker69:
I must say your post is amusing...

You write about how poor Ubuntu is and then broaden that to cover most Linux distros.

And post this on a site dedicated to unrestricting devices/software, allowing users to do as they like with them not just the narrow focus the OEM planned for them. Particularly in a forum about Linux based devices. The whole point is about choice and flexibility and not sacrificing them due to other software companies. Linux isn't as mainstream because no one is trying to limit flexibility to achieve such market successes as Windows Vista, etc. If everyone pushed back at software vendors to offer better support for Linux instead of following the cattle train there would be better developed software off the shelf for Linux instead of scattered offerings and home grown software such as all of the great ROM's offered here (I'm not trying to discredit any Devs here - IMHO the Devs here develop better for free than most companies do for large profit).

Imagine if HTC open sourced Sense (or more realistically a free for non-commercial distribution we own everything you develop proprietary license). Not only would everyone have the ability to customize to their hearts content but HTC themselves would end up with an exponentially better offering each and every time they released a new device. Talk about helping to gain market share. Even those who would prefer the Epic would have a hard decision when they could have any customization they could imagine easily with an EVO instead

Just my 2¢ :D
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I understand the ideals of open source but the fact is, good designers and developers like to get paid and better motivated by money; and thus, commercial products are 99.9% of the time better. That's the way the world works, and as a consumer and developer/designer of media, I expect and want the better product.
[EVO 4G General] Lperez6485:
Personally im no rocket scientist or developer. But, From personal experience linux can do everything windows does and do it alot better. Just takes a little more effort here and there. Its usually well worth it though
[EVO 4G General] LexLuger82:
Windows pre 7 sucked and frozen up all the time, sucky ass limited app marketplace as well
[EVO 4G General] vbetts:
Well, it's the kernel that give the terrible battery life. For starter Linux, Ubuntu is actually pretty stable. But for the more advanced that are used to doing bash commands just to start up a program, it's not the best thing out there... For the graphics, it depends who supplies them. Nvidia does great with their driver support, AMD on the other hand is not so great. But Nvidia has better OpenGL support than AMD. I wouldn't mind Ubuntu or Linux, but I play games on my PC and cider wrapper is terrible. I didn't put about $800 into this machine to get about depending on the game 1/2-2/3 performance as I was with it's native platform.

Hardly knew anyone that had that problem with WP7, but the OS is still new, so saying it's "sucky ass" doesn't go very far.
[EVO 4G General] IIDeViiNII:
Why is this just a big OS war now??? OH wait because we are humans and we always make war with anything especially the small things.....
[EVO 4G General] LexLuger82:
Pre 7 meaning 6.5 and lower
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Can it run the latest Adobe CS? Nope. Is hardware accelerated flash stable? Nope. Are the graphics drivers as good? Nope. Are there even any good games? Nope. Is open office or the new fork of it as good as Office? Nope. There are a ton of things that either Linux can't do or does worse. There's a reason why it has never taken off in commercial products, and when it has been in products (netbooks), there's a reason why they had such a high return rate.

[Droid X General] Kasona:
I'm syncing with a hosted Exchange 2010 server (outlook.com). I had to change the server address from m.outlook.com to the actual pod*****.outlook.com address, but after that it's working perfectly with my DX on GB.
[Droid X General] crawcraw:
We have Exchange 2003. Tried everything.
[Droid X General] GolfnWrx:
I lose synch whenever my ROM changes.

The first time, I deleted my corp account, and recreated it...that worked.

The second time, I re-entered just my password and the last field had changed the name, not sure why...but fixed that and it resynched after both of those.
[Droid X General] hogasswild:
It stopped working for me too, but I haven't tried inputting the actual outlook exchange address. We always used m.mycompanyname.com.
[Droid X General] hogasswild:
Apparently Motorola knows about the problem. I just did a simple google search on my pop up about not being able to provision for my device. So much for "enhanced activesync" lol:

http://motorola-global-en-usa.custh...id-pro-after-mr2-update-(copy-of-answer-67174)
[Droid X General] crawcraw:
Still no corporate email or calendar sync. I've nuked phone clean and it still won't update.

Another e/ee here received the OTA update from Verizon and it ruined her corp sync too. So it has nothing to do with root.

I think there is some issue with pulling the certificate.
[Droid X General] steeprock:
Corporate Email won't configure OTA GB 2.3

I think you are right about the issue having to do with pulling a certificate.

In my case, first OTA install failed, then Verizon folks had me flash back to 2.2, wiping my existing settings.

After the rollback, I was able to install the OTA to get to 2.3 successfully, but now I am not able to setup corporate sync on the phone. All correct settings gets me an error message saying "Login to the server failed, please try again."

One thing I notice is that on the 2.2 Corporate Sync settings, it asks for:

"domain/username" in one textbox

where on the 2.3 settings page, the username and domain are entered on separate textboxes.

Maybe that has nothing to do with anything, but it was something I noticed.

I'll update if I find anything about this issue.

****update

Call was disconnected with VZ, Moto, and I'm too mad/tired to go through the hassle again. Boo.
[Droid X General] EdgeKrusher:
Droid X - Activesync issues after GB Update

So this is really strange, and I'm truly frustrated. The Mobile device policy in our Exchange 2007 environment will not allow the Corporate Mail application on our DXs provision with the server... unless we check the Allow Simple Passwords option in the policy itself. Then the device is provisioned properly and email, calendar and contacts sync.

This is not optimal as we have a strict Policy for passwords and using a simple password violates that.

Regards,

Edge
[Droid X General] brandoncampbell:
I feel your pain Edge... same for me.. doesn't allow for simple passwords. So now I am receiving the provisioning error. I called Verizon lastnight... they forwarded me to motorola and they said for me to send a document stating the settings my company needs to change.. what a joke. I am furious. I don't want third party software to download email... Although my HTC Eris sucked because of the speed.. the company HTC supported my email. Every time there was an upgrade it continued to work.
[Droid X General] crawcraw:
still busted. Tried several things with my company's outside tech support.

Exchange 2003. Factory reset of phone (twice). Even pulled the SD card after the second factory reset. I manually added certificates. Tried Touchdown. turned SSL on, turned off.

tried all kinds of domain settings. Tried stuff on server side. Still nothing.

Now I'm getting error messages with Gmail.
[Droid X General] crawcraw:
SUCCESS!

Our certificate expires in August so the IT guy went ahead and updated it. When turning on account, I left off the domain name and checked SSL. Worked immediately after that. Good luck.

:p
[Droid X General] BBJohnnyT:
FWIW, i just upgraded to p3droid's rooted GB (performed a full data reset in the process). Setting up my corporate sync was painless (worked first try) and it works flawlessly. Our IT guy is sharp and knows how to configure and maintain our Exchange server with all the latest updates and such. If anyone is having issues with Corporate Sync, I'll bet a dollar that it's a problem with your Exchange Server and not GB.
[Droid X General] Laramie1997:
Exchange support on any android platform is usually from a mis-maintained Exchange server, but it just seems that motorola is extra messed up with their support. I know how my Exchange server is set up and I still have a hard time getting full functionality out of my DX and my corporate email account. At my work I depend on calender support because it's the main means of communication between our IT staff as to who is going to in the office at what point. As of right now, I'm using my work phone to keep up with work which is... Normal? I dunno, but I just know I'll have to float until I can get my hands on a decent root and ROM for the OTA update. I've tried using P3droid's patched version and out of the six times I've tried it, I've either gotten into a boot loop or I've lost all data connectivity- weird.
[Droid X General] BBJohnnyT:
I had lots of weirdness with GB too when I upgraded (twice) using P3droid's update. I SBFed back to .340 and then did a Factory Data Reset just prior to booting into Clockworkmod's Recovery to do the upgrade. Haven't had one lick of problems since. Give that a try.
[G Tablet General] lordstrife:
i switched roms acouple times today and this has happened one other time.

All my video files not the folders or subtitles or anything just the video files themselves have been deleted.

Using brilliant corners and bottle o smoke and bam they are gone...
[G Tablet General] fosser2:
all you have to do is make a no media file. basically make a new text doc on your computer and just save it as ".nomedia" You do not have to write anything in the file. This will tell the tablet not to delete any files out of this folder. put this file in every folder that has media items. I hope this helps.
[G Tablet General] EL TEJANO:
Hmmm...I've never had that happen to me, but thanks for the tip fosser2
[G Tablet General] brettdwagner:
It's a known issue and easily fixed with the .nomedia file. Beware though that windows won't let you create such a file. I think most android file managers will allow you to create a file and rename it ".nomedia".
[G Tablet General] tenet420:
Use notepad++ to make files of this type in windoze...
[G Tablet General] lordstrife:
Thanks guys ill do this next time I put movies on.
[G Tablet General] ramerco:
You can easily make this file form windows. Right-click on any explorer window and choose New>Text file. Then just rename it to .nomedia instead of NewTextDocument.txt or whatever the default is.

Scratch that. Windows says "type a file name" or something. Just use notepad++ as someone else mentioned...

hi guys

with the new baseband, i noticed that these are built for x10is, and from what i gathered the rogers update did not update the baseband?

if so is there any performance gains from moving to .61 or .67 for a x10a like mine?

.54 is working the best so far..

any other Aussie testers out there with feedback??

thanks

just want to know if ti's just me
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LJE:
I installed 2.1.B.0.1 lastnight with bb .67 on EW's V001 and it gave me nice d/l and u/l speed, (2200kbps/1500kbps) but this morning my data dropped in and out alot.

I flashed .54 and .58 and it wasn't as fast as it normally is (tested for about 1/2 hour) so it might of just been bad weather or heavy traffic.

Went back to .67 and it was the same as .54/.58 so I'll give it a day to see how it goes tonight and tomorrow.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LJE:
yeah i agree....

I stuck with the 2.1.B.0.1 but changed from .67, back to .54

.54 is definitely faster here on the Gold Coast
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaVe-N:
So are you saying here that the AT&T branded firmware/baseband update would be recommended for Australian X10a users? Or just X10a in general and maybe not for us in Australia?

Cheers.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shubu000:
i think in general

but i do know that AT&T uses the same frequency as Telstra, hence there might be better performance compare to a more x10i centric baseband such as .61 or .67

i haven't had time to do speed test so far

i mainly use .65 now to stay compatible with Trip's ROMs
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaVe-N:
Well if they use the same frequency them I'd have to say that it would have to be best. (I'm actually on three but they use telstra network so out should be okay!)

Cheers!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanchigo:
I have x10 from virgin, but use 3. Have tried alot of diff.basebands nut .54 is the best. I use trip mui rom, 1.02 and 1.08
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shubu000:
I heard that the shared frequently between three and telstra would be switch off next year as a apart of telstra building their 4g network

so yeah ... don't rely on it

Anyways anyone tried. 65? I heard there might be a SMS bug...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoskopico:
