[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhodri11:
thanks guys i'll be having a go tonight. just out of curiosity I use linux as my main system at home. I have windows as a virtual install inside linux, but it can sometimes be funny with detecting some usb's. will i be able to root my phone with linux or does it have to be windows?

fingers crossed i dont brick my phone
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ywliu:
If you use the so-called all-in-one rooting tools, I guess you need to use Windows.

However, if you take the "adb" method (adb push, adb shell, etc.), then I believe you can do this under Linux with adb. Since you are familiar with Linux, adb should make you feel at home.

I personally rooted my DHD purely with adb commands, though not under Linux.

This is a thread where you can post things you hate about the epic. This will help useless threads and also help developers and Samsung fix issues.

-I request a sticky-
[Epic 4G General] Esteway.619:
This is a good idea I second his request
[Epic 4G General] duce102:
I hate that my epic can't make grilled sammiches with the colonels secret recipe :(
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
This is the perfect answer. This thread can be closed now. :p

That is correct.
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
The only thing I hate is that, due to the timing of release and the popularity of this phone, we have too few developers and too many end users, with no knowledge of or interest in the development process, flooding the development forum looking for things that are already developed.

The rest of my complaints pertain more to the decline in standards for education in the US... (please, people, at least TRY to use correct spelling, grammar and punctuation. It is much easier to help someone when you can understand what they're saying, and the only standard we have to go by just doesn't cover how to properly butcher the language - two people can use the same slang and have two completely different intended meanings... And then they wonder why they can't get a solution to their problem...)
[Epic 4G General] shiftr182:
I hate touchwiz. I guess its not really touchwiz, but I wish that it wasnt incorporated into the whole phone. Image what we could do with this phone without touchwiz.
[Epic 4G General] belyakov1976:
I hate that other than on Eclair, BT is completely borked:mad:
[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
I hate that samsung built an fm radio and tv out into the hardware but forgot to hook them up. And that I can't use a wiimote on it because I guess our bluetooth radio sucks
[Epic 4G General] shiftr182:
I second this!
[Epic 4G General] rulyskull:
Well I hate hate the poopy screen cause it breaks so easy, how odin hates my usb ports, and how there is solittle deving(I love the devs who are here though just wish here were more, and I would dev myself but I'm going to tenth grade and just because I want to be a java programer dosent mean my votechschool knows what programing is haha) but other then that I love the epic for he keyboard, clear screen, can bring itback from a brick(did twice) and ho funny the community is

"I hate your black bastards, you stink! I hate your black skin. I hate your black pants. I hate black pepper. I hate black keys on a piano. I hate my gums, because they're black. I hate Whoopi Goldberg's lips. I hate the back of Forrest Whittaker's neck. Huh? Most of all, I hate that black-ass Wesley Snipes."

But seriously, I love the epic with EF02 and the developers on this forum. They really are the nicest and most comical developers I have ever had the pleasure of seeing.. I hate the fact that over-scroll still isn't fixed even after I flashed the fixed version..
[Epic 4G General] ghostrid3r:
I hate the carpet floater that got lodged between my epic screen and screen protector, that causes me to have OCD every time I see it, then I have to find a flat surface to spin my phone 360 successfully 6 times and slide out my hardware k/b 11 times just to get over it. :p

Yes, I could just get tweezers to remove it, but that might let more of those dust bunnies invade the screen. :p

And no! I'm not gonna take my phone into a bathroom full of steam in order to negate the particles to perform that task. :D
[Epic 4G General] darkierawr:
Thank you for that. I really detest the misspelling. Especially on our forums! It's not like the people posting are using a T9 flip phone. It's a full keyboard! If I see one more person post in all caps without punctuation...
[Epic 4G General] blu9987:
+1 for dont be a menace

I hate how I went on splash mountain and now my camera button opens internet and mutes my phone and my hardware keyboard is broken :P. Not the phones fault though.

I do hate the crap usb port, ive had to leave it charging in special angles or else it'd unplug.
[Epic 4G General] ksweat2292:
i hate the froyo gallery sensor bug that made me hate my phone until gingerbread got leaked
[Epic 4G General] arashed31:
I HATED my Moment but I've never hated my Epic. Kinda liked the Epic on stock DI18 but disappointed in lack of custom ROMs. Liked it on EB13 and really liked it on EC05 (never used it on stock). And now I love it on stock EF02. Come at me.
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
I hate everything.

[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
This is about my only gripe with my Epic, as otherwise it has been pretty.... EPIC!

:D
[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
I had the moment too, really great hardware but even rommed/rooted it was soo slow. Makes you really appreciate the hummingbird/powerVR combo
[Epic 4G General] blastboi:
I hate eye floaters... they get in the way when I'm trying to look at my awesome super amoled screen :-)
[Epic 4G General] PokeAsheep:
I hate how the keyboard randomly skips letters. I hate that I can't use the phone while its charging because it gets so hot it physically hurts to hold it. I hate that the gps randomly decides when to and not to work...

(I also hate Sprint who refuses to acknowledge any issues when I call until I pull the battery and let them "reset some things on their end"...which hasn't fixed any of the issues to date)

Epic is Epic.
[Epic 4G General] northvibe:
First, I'm finally on the forums to see about fixing the issues I'm having with my epic. I'm on the stock Froyo.

1. On airvana the epic will fail sms in and out.

2. When using the soft keyboard - any 3 of them (samsung/android/swype) random letters will not work.

3. sliding out the keyboard will do a random button. Home or back etc.

4. Battery life sucks. I have to manually disabled 3g (dont live in 4g area). to get a day out of it. Juiced defender has helped.

5. when in an app and I click Home, it will sit at a blank home screen for 15+ seconds...until the icons load.

I am using my coworkers HTC Arrive windows 7 mobile phone, and it has its limitations on this OS (mango update releases later this year). But I'm liking it....but the epic has all the features I want just want it to work. If 1, 2 and 5 were fixed I'd be happy. I was thinking of having sprint check my phone out for rtard'ness and then going to the leaked EF02.

EDIT:

6. Oh yes, GPS takes FOREVER to find satellites.
[Epic 4G General] TecHNieK:
a few things i HATE about the epic is that fact that the lock button is on the right side of the phone where the volume keys should be... every time i go to unlock/lock my phone i hit the volume key. and the soft keys aren't as sensitive as they should be but other then that i love the epic lol but in all seriousness they should really consider fixing the hardware key placements major flaw by Samsung, lock button should be on top of the phone... There's a reason why all phone manufactures do this
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
I hate how bad the battery life is overall.

Also, Samsung needs a working Mac version of Odin. Macs are getting more popular these days and Samsung needs to realize if they want to satisfy all customers, they are going to need a multi-platform program.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
I hate the fact it doesn't sport a pull out antenna to reach out and grab that signal. They need one for wimax band too!

I hate that doesn't have a nice keyboard like the TP2 had but at least it has a keyboard.
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
I hate that the keyboard doesnt tilt like the tp2, i loved that for movies, thats the one thing its missing. :(

I also hate again that we dont have a mobile ap for froyo!!! :mad:
[Epic 4G General] djbacon06:
I hate that my screen wobbles... That's about it :)
[Epic 4G General] Dradran:
I need filler posts. This looks like a good thread for this.
[Epic 4G General] Dradran:
I troll the forums all the time. Been a member since January. Have always found my answer so there was no need to post. Now I need to post crap so I can make a real post in the dev forums. Epic Fail... no pun intended.
[Epic 4G General] Dradran:
Epic is a decent phone. I sometime wish I had an Iphone because everyone has devices that will connect to them. Car stereos for one.
[Epic 4G General] Dradran:
Post number nine of inane crap, almost there. Epic really needs a supported version of GB instead of having to flash a leaked version.
[Epic 4G General] Dradran:
Number 10, I guess I am not a noob anymore. Battery life on the epic fails most days.
[Epic 4G General] Dradran:
Maybe I need 11 posts or the forum [Odin]Stock EH06 Deodexed with CWM 3.1.0.1/Root/Busybox 1.19/Working Browser is only for cool people.
[Epic 4G General] Dradran:
I surmise 11 is not the magic number either. So for all those searching...

My back button does not work with the default browser using the [Odin]Stock EH06 Deodexed with CWM 3.1.0.1/Root/Busybox 1.19/Working Browser Rom.

I downloaded Dolphin and it worked fine. That was after reOdining back to stock and to the [Odin]Stock EH06 Deodexed with CWM 3.1.0.1/Root/Busybox 1.19/Working Browser rom.

Noone is going to find that information here, but I imagine this has already been discussed, answered and fixed before, I just cannot search well enough because I do not have enough posts.

Thanks,
[Epic 4G General] Hasseo:
I hate my Epic because the freaking keyboard still doesn't pick up all of the keys even with the mods >_>

[Epic 4G General] blu9987:
So on thursday and friday my epic was randomly not receiving calls (sprints fault?) i happened to miss a job offer. I cancelled my contract, bought a verizon iphone, and am happy now knowing my phone isnt a piece of crap and works out-of-box as it is supposed to.
[Epic 4G General] ZiggSVO:
Nexus anyone?
[Epic 4G General] blu9987:
oh and

Epic - wake up 100% charge go to work, come home at 10%

Iphone4 - wake up, forgot to charge it, charge to 95%, go to work. Play games, call, text, email, facebook, stream NFL game for a few minutes (verizon ftw), check craigslist, etc. come home 80% charge.

lol
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Gotta love thread bumps, by trolls none the less lol

I "hate" nothing about my epic.

/sig
[Epic 4G General] blu9987:
So you bumped the thread by commenting on thread bumping ;)

and im not trolling, i think i can be justly upset when my phone/carrier possibly screw me out of a higher paying job. I'm calling them first thing in the morning so hopefully responding 4 days after the fact doesn't mess my chances up too bad :(.

I dunno if I should blame the epic or sprint but now that I made the switch I can see how terrible it was :/.

heres some things that go along with hating the epic:

The signal being full, dropping to nothing, being full (other ppl have posted that bug its not just me), bluetooth annoyances, that annoying sms call log crap (thankfully mammon made the logs provider fix), spotty 3g/timing out constantly with apps accessing the internet, the phone not hanging up when you press end call and you have to jab at it repeatedly, gps taking ages to lock on/not locking at all, having no sound when you answer a call and having to hit speaker phone on/off (mainly was in dk28), checkered browser, delay in sms, im sure theres more but im tired and its hard to remember xD.
[Epic 4G General] Zeinzu:
The Epic is a quality device and has never given me any major issues to speak of
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
Had mine since launch day.

I have never had an issue with my Epic that wasn't caused by something I did

Can't really ask much more out of a phone than that.

You left out..

Played a few Flash videos and games..

oh wait... iPhone fail

Lets try some massive streaming of Data, for more than a few min...

oh, thats right.. data limit got you on lockdown... Verizon fail

Think I will stick with my unlimited data on Sprint and my Flash enabled Epic, TYVM! :D
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
I hate my epic because every case I see turns it into a brick. As far as the iphibe battery thing goes? You want insane battery life from your epic like an iPhone? Which I don't understand because i have a few friends with i4s and my battery life is equal if not better. Anywho. Here's how to get iPhone battery life on your epic.

Delete all home screens and Widgets

Downclock your cpu to 800mhz.

Turn 4g off indefinitely

Get an aggressive task manager and kill your phones multitasking abilities. Because ios doesn't multitasking.

BOOM. There you have it.
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
Also I hate its thickness. Ever use your epic on your back and it slips your hand hits you in the face? This guy.
[Epic 4G General] ort84:
I hate the horrible software update support of Samsung, the broken Bluetooth, gps, horrible battery life...

*sigh* I swear I'm going to end up getting an iPhone...
[Epic 4G General] otsukafan:
I will try to match you post for post for the same reason.
[Epic 4G General] bobthemarley:
I used to love my epic when I first got it because of the keyboard. But I've realized that more dev support is better. I'm not saying I hated the devs, I'm saying I hated the amount of devs we got compared to the evo. All in all I'm glad I switched to the evo.
[Epic 4G General] dzl:
I LOVE MY EPIC BECAUSE OF ACS!!!

srsly, you guys made an awesome ROM out of the 2.2 source. FAST and GREAT battery life. It looks great too with the best looking theme out there - Honeycomb Fusion Explosion. Sooo sexy.

can't wait for 2.3 source you guys can do your magic again, but I'm fine with GB for now.

ACS is full of talent, and myself and others greatly appreciate everything!
[Epic 4G General] otsukafan:
I agree.
[Epic 4G General] otsukafan:
I also agree. But compkid roms based on leaks are still better than official releases.
[Epic 4G General] pvtjoker42:
I love my epic.. the things i hate aren't hardware issues, they are Samsung/Sprint issues.. I mean, how hard is it to program stock software so your slide out keyboard (the big sell point for myself and many others) doesn't miss every 3rd or 4th keypress??

And for those with battery life issues, not sure what you're doing to have such terrible battery times but with the EH06 leak and EH06plus kernel i'm getting 33-36hrs of medium use. (stock battery)

I too wish there were more devs around to see more variance in roms/kernels etc.. But I do love the handful of roms/kernels we do have.
[Epic 4G General] EpicLove:
I love my Epic. I've used a couple of versions of SyndicateROM and have consistently had excellent battery life, all things considered, especially since upgrading to Frozen. And although I've made the switch to Mac, I wouldn't dream of trading in my Epic for an iPhone. Never had problems with GPS, bluetooth, the slide-out keyboard, or anything else for that matter.

:D
[Epic 4G General] otsukafan:
I've also yet to find a case worthy of the phone. I'm tired of the slider means you have to deal with a bad case. Can't some one get inventive.
[Epic 4G General] Zeinzu:
My otterbox has been an excellent case
[Epic 4G General] pvtjoker42:
the main problem with the otterbox and similar cases is the added bulk. I tried a case like that for a week or 2 then gave up on it and got the zagg invisible shield full body.
[Epic 4G General] Zeinzu:
My phone isn't much bulkier than usual, I've never found otterbox series cases to be bulky at all, just sturdy as hell
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Same here. I hate my Epic for being a great phone! :-P

I hate the oreo wiggle and the fact that I can't seem to get it repaired at a Sprint store.

I love my Epic, but I will not be buying another slider because of the wiggle.
[Epic 4G General] tmspyder:
You have a 75% chance that just about any thread here these days will fill that need...

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ntishlias:
Hello you all...

I am an idiot living in DFW area. I have had my nook color since last November and beginning of this year, I've rooted the bloody machine. I don't know what I was thinking. Everyone told me that the process takes only ten minutes or so, and it took me two full days. I should have known that I wasn't smart enough to mass with the machine and should have left it alone.BUT, I did root using the auto rooter file.

This afternoon, I decided to take my nook color back to its default setting and did the 8X thing before preregistering first. Now all I see is the scratched up "n" logo with" with the flashing "color" written beneath and the sickening green robot and the "nook color devs" logo at the bottom right.

It was a gift from my husband which means a lot to me, and I am not in position to just chunk it and buy a new one.

So, is there anyone living in the DFW area who can help me in person. I am only asking this because I am not smart enough to follow all the suggestions and directions that I will get (hopefully). I can show my appreciation to your help with small amount of B&N gift card. Please let me know if there is anyone who is smart and kind hearted to help me out.

Thank you.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluepen61:
You didn't do the 8x thing... be patient and try again, sometimes it seems like a 9x or 10x thing. I have done it a couple of times and just resorted not to count but to keep stopping the boot until it

starts booting

with the update screen.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ntishlias:
Hi bluepen61,

Unfortunately, I did see the update screen. After the update screen and the installing process was finished, I got stuck in the same screen.

I am so sickn' tired of looking at the same screen, I am very very close to

throwing the thing on the wall to be just done with it! :mad:

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coworker23:
So I bought a Galaxt Tab 7 off ebay. I've had it a week. Apparently this moron hacked the firmware. There was a system update message, I clicked install. It rebooted to the Yellow triangle.

Everything I have attempted to do for the past 8 hours hasn't worked.

1. I can't find a specific i800 firmware.

2. I have tried pretty much any and all firmware versions available through any of the "how to unbrick, how to install, how to upgrade" firmware forums.

I have attempted Odin 3 and installed the PIT+Database file first, restart, then install the .TAR file for the phone. I restart and hit recovery mode but receive errors stating it cannot mount /efs. When I try to clear cache and or restore the system it also provides fail errors.

When I try heimdall-frontend, it installed everything but then fails on recovery on 32% with every recovery image .tar file I can find.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prezmater:
Eww...I just bought one off of eBay too, and I hope I don't run in to this problem. The guy said it is new, but offered no return. I think I got a good deal on it if it is in fact new though.

On a side note, it is pretty funny that you have been a member since 2008 and this is your first post. :p
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjkwasnik:
I've messed up the galaxy tab many times and was always able to restore it, the only way you can really mess up the device is if you mess with the boot loader, and it gets hosed.

Depending on the image you are trying to restore, will depend if something will or wont work.

Do you see a picture on the phone with a cell phone and computer with warning triangle in the middle of the two?

As long as the phone is recognized and you have the drivers installed and heimdall drivers installed on the usb device, you can always flash.

I normally unpackage the files and just flash the kernel (zimage), system, recovery(zimage), params, and cache via heimdall and let it go through its thing. I have had issues before when trying to flash the modem file or other files then what i have mentioned above. I can probably see if i can get you the files I used

Hi, coworker23, I believe you've read all the instructions. Probably you're just having bad luck on that day. Hence would like to offer a slightly re-freshed re-do, sincerely, hope you don't misunderstand me for repeating the obvious below.

power OFF, shut-down, let it rest.

Say to it (OK, my love, my honey, I'll be good to you, so pls be good to me after you've rest well and ate full)

2A charger to FULL (4 hours on original charger) (just in case)

Say it again (OK, you've eaten full now, happy? YEAH!!!!)

Unplug USB

PRESS-&-HOLD-VOLUME-DOWN + POWER ON, after 4 seconds screen turns on, release POWER but KEEP HOLDing the vol-down, until you still "DOWNLOAD MODE".

PLUG-IN-USB

Win7 shows device detected, installing (RE-ESTABLISHing USB) must!!! unless you already did this WITHOUT uninstalling the drivers.

UNPLUG USB

Fire-up Odin

PLUG-IN-USB again

COM3 appears

PIT+PDA with 3 ticks repartition, pit, reboot

FLASH away

SUCCESS!!!
