I was all excited about dual core phones till my roomie got an atrix. Android just isn't ready for it yet. Aside from benchmarks you can't really feel a difference.

Unless I see a massive change before my upgrade (in November), I'll hold out until the new phones are announced at CES and the other shows in the early spring. I'm hoping for a phone that is better than qHD (a la retina display).
[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
Honestly I have been tempted to look at the 3D as the Nexus is having some reception issues. However, I couldn't bring myself to do it. I'm even within my fist 30 days and I think I'll stay. The Epic and Nexus don't nearly get the credit they deserve.

Also I have been reading about issues already with the light leak like the origina evo had and lots of dead pixels not to mention battery life is a bit rough to say the least.The within is going to spank the 3D into submission when it's released later this summer or early fall.

I love my Nexus and I honestly miss the Epic at times as well.

Also this theard is welcomed here as far as I'm concerned. I think it's much better then the crap that has been going on here lately.....IMHO

Very nice write up shabby :-)
[Epic 4G General] nubsors:
Its that because dual cores aren't really taken advantage of yet?
[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
You feel it in the battery life. :-)
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
I'm not sour.. the only reason Epic owners are sour about the E3D is because there's been an influx of members posting Epic/Evo3D threads, or "i might get one" .. we're sick of that crap.

Go post it in the Evo forums.

As far as the bootloader is concerned here's a snippet from an email from a member that was posted over on the dark side:

For me, if a manufacturer decided to lock up a phone in the first place I certainly wouldn't waste time flushing it down the damn toilet but that's me.

I'll patiently wait for the GS2, then decide if my Epic is ready to retire.. until then I'm gonna keep rockin' it.

nope tahts full on dual core support in gingerbread, hell even the atrix has dual core support on froyo

Its because every dual core implementation short of the Exynos/Mali SoC Samsung is using uses a GPU that is either old or underpowered.

LOLOLOLOL. Reminds me of my 528mhz Touch Pro Windows Mobile phone. This is why I am done with HTC. They have ALWAYS been plagued with all sorts of issues with hardware acceleration. If its not lists scrolling ridiculously slow, its absolutely no media formats being supported.

You mean the increase in battery life? His phone gets completely ridiculous life on a charge compared to mine. But all the other high end phones feel the same (note: he works for AT&T and tries out every new phone, and has stuck with the atrix for his personal line)
[Epic 4G General] nubsors:
Wow I am so glad you posted that. I think I would be pissed off if I got the phone and saw that.

Thats just terrible. My vote is definently going to the WiThin. I will get that probably, depends on if I have the money in september.

[Epic 4G General] Art2Fly:
My next full upgrade 2-yr is next may... What do you guys speculate about the phones then? I'm betting that the WiThin (or whatever) is already going to be not the best by that time, and I should just wait right?
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
I would say wait, if you don't mind staying with the more than capable phone you have now. I'm only considering upgrading because my 1 yr upgrade is in september, but I might not upgrade then.

what's funny is I watched your video (very cool display of the failure of the HTC IMO lol) and I went to the market, followed the steps you did exactly and my Epic behaves just like your Nexus... very smooth scrolling.. no jittering or hiccups LOL.. HTC=pathetic :)
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
It could be a year before that bootloader gets unlocked. The bad thing is they have an engineered bootloader but alot of.people took the ota when they turned the phone on and it upgraded the hboot so they are screwed if they get root from the engineered bootloader. I'm waiting on Within or nexus 3. I'm happy with.my epic and really our phone is just as good as the evo3d. I wasn't impressed when I played with it.

Took some getting used to, but loving the 3d so far. Battery life is great. Way better than I was getting with my Epic. But don't know if I will keep it past 30 days if not unlocked. Also depends how soon the Sgs2 will be out, although heard really bad things about battery in their forum. Hope this helped. Leaving before incoming shells hit.LOL

[Epic 4G General] eigerzoom:
this is correct

also htc/sprint is already offering s-off ... by phone call

you just have to sign a TSO and your warranty is now void

this i know from a present owner of the 3d

i'm sure the hboot is still locked down however by the update

also i heard an even newer update is due out this week with more lockdowns

the last statement is just rumor i believe at this point...haven't dipped into the forum controversy this week yet so take that with a grain...
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
What a bunch of crap. If the phone doesn't get what people want within the first 30 days, then you can expect the phone to get returned. I'm not carrying around a phone I can't use to its full potential.
[Epic 4G General] nubsors:
Yeah but its not fair to expect the manufacturer to replace your phone if you mess it up while attempting to use it to its full potential.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gyromanx55:
Hooray!! Sold my Black iPhone 4 16GB AT&T for $440!

Now getting a Captivate used 3 days old for $175 off some dude on Craigslist. Price is about $190-ish where I am, but those are used.

What do I look out for, guys? (Things I know include:)

- Water damage indicator on battery (but he can replace battery, right?)

> Is there a water damage indicator like on the iPhones that would help me out more?

- Use touchscreen, try all areas

- Check for dead pixels

- See if camera, 3G, wifi, bluetooth work

- See if speaker works for sound, microphone if I get a chance

Anything else guys? One of the more important things I think is a water damage indicator other than the battery?

Thanks a lot XDA! (And I ordered a microsim adapter TODAY!)

If it has water damage I would not even buy it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack man:
When you get it, go to Settings/about phone/status to check to make sure the IMEI number matches the number that is behind the battery on the white tag. I have seen on here before where someone buys a captivate from ebay or craigslist and the previous owner screwed up something while flashing custom ROMs and now the phone has a generic IMEI number which means it may not work as a phone anymore.

If the IMEI # in settings is showing a number beginning with something like 004, dont even think twice - DONT BUY IT.

oh, yes, and what jetpuck73 said above - water damage = do not buy.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gyromanx55:
Thanks VERY MUCH for that, something I did not know.

And lol maybe I said "water damage" too much, but he said it is brand new and NOT water damaged.

What I wanted to know is HOW to check. There is one on the battery, correct? Any on the phone itself too like iPhone?

Thanks for info!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack man:
The sticker I am refering to is actually on the phone, under the battery. Another thing I would look for on the same sitcker is the build number. It is a 4 digit number beginning with either 10 or 11 mayber with a "." in the middle (i.e. 10.07, 10.08, 10.09, 11.01, etc.) If you use GPS at all, I know for a fact (and from hands-on experience) that Captivates with the number 10.07 have CRAPPY gps reception.

I wouldn't worry about numbers on the battery itself. I don't think there is a feature on the Captivate that indicates if it has had water damage.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
It hasn't been clear, so to be clear: yes there is a water indicator on the phone. Plus another on the battery. Its by the battery contacts.

The other problems you originally mentioned aren't known issues. So far I have yet to hear a single dead pixel on a captivate. But checking can't hurt, same with wifi, bt, gps etc. One thing I will say is that sometimes the screen appears to have burn in, in the notification bar. If you pull up an all white picture can can sometimes see shadows of the notification bar, clock, signal, etc. Its not an actual burn, its residual energy or something, there have been a few threads about it. It will usually go away after a reboot. So, if you see what appears to be slight screen burn at the top its fine.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FreshFreddie53:
Hey all,

Why is the SGS2 being shunned from running games?

I understand (although disagree) with the whole Tegra thing, but now Gameloft's Asphalt 6 and Nova 2 won't run on it either???

Is it the Exynos?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
Yes,it is the Exynos.And more specifically,its GPU,the Mali MP400.

Although said games play on the SGS2,they aren't available for it through the market until now.You can download them from Gameloft's site at any time.If you already have bought them from the market,you can send an email to Gameloft support with the receipt and they will let you download it from their server on your GS2.

The Mali supports only the standard texture compression format of OpenGL ES 2.0.Every company though(Qualcomm,NVidia and PowerVR) has their own compression format.That is easily overcome with Chainfire3D though. :)

How easy to use is chainfire 3d, I really liked the look of nova 2, but if it's complicated or risky will give it a miss, if not I'll have a go.
[Android Software Development] Kasimao:
Hello all,

At the moment I'm working on a project where we need to make an app for a conference. This app uses C2DM for push notifications.

Now everyone that attends the conference get's an android phone (probably a Nexus S). Which would be about 700 android phones that need to be configured with a google account (for C2DM to work) and an installation of the app.

My idea was to pre-install one device, make a backup and put that on all other devices. Now I'm wondering if there are possibly any better ways of configuring/deploying multiple devices.

Thanks in advance.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tKoHaXoR:
I have been trying out different methods to downgrade. All have failed.

But.. i have an idea!!

It is tricky but it might work.

The bootloader does a signature check on the PC10IMG.zip.

Bootloader 0.82.0008 only passes the signature check on the latest PC10IMG.zip which is the leaked gingerbread update.

My plan is as soon as the bootloader passes the signature check on the Gingerbread PC10IMG.zip, i will swap the micro sd card with another which has a modified PC10IMG.zip that has the 0.76.0000 engineering bootloader or the stock 1.19.531.1 PC10IMG.zip

The micro sd card slot is right under the battery but i figured you can pull the battery slighly up and still have it connected to the contacts on the phone. Then we can swap the sd and continue the update/downgrade procedure.

I don't know if it will check the signature on the PC10IMG.zip after the update has started..

This is just an idea. If anybody is willing to try this method, let me know. I am going to try later on today.

It is worth a shot since nothing else has worked!

I don't know if this can brick your phone either so try this at your own risk!!

Can anybody tell me the faults in this plan before i go ahead and try it?
[G2 and Desire Z General] briantech:
Seems like a high brick chance.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tKoHaXoR:
I went ahead and tried it, and it worked. Sort of..

When it asked to do the update i swapped micro sd cards and it continued to update. everything updated and i restarted the phone.

It was still gingerbread!! >.<

I guess during the verification check it puts the update on the onboard memory.. meaning this method is a bust..

I was so happy when everything updated!! Just to find out all it did was reflash the same gingerbread update. It wiped my phone clean.. lol

Damn..

back to the drawing board.

[HTC EVO 3D] CAxVIPER:
It wasn't that hard to understand.

The sensation got the newest camera app which provides much better quality and supports 1080p. And he wants to know why the 3vo didn't get it.

At least that is how I understood it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rem3Dy:
It hurts that's for sure

It seems the 2 cameras used have a max resolution of recording at 720p.

But the sensation has the software to utilize the macro, hdr,burst,and night shots... Which is not present in our 3VO, which is my gripe

Hello, I have a question....

I have searched for the last week trying to find a solution to my problem. Here's my problem. I have been able to get Cifs Manager working, but it will not work with my USB HD attached to my router. MY router is a Linksys e3000 flashed with DD-WRT. I am using the ip address of my router to access the HD, just like I do on my laptop, but it won't work with cifs. What I did to make sure that Cifs manager was working, I successfully mounted my HD from my laptop, no problems at all.

I can not figure out what address I need to use to mount my network HD. My router ip is 192.168.2.1. Here's what I have been using as my mount point: 192.168.2.1/Home/Music. Home is what I have setup as the HD share path in the Samba setup of DD-WRT.

What ROM are you running on Android? AND are you NAND or SD??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aprogressivone:
Sadly it has nothing to do with the rom loaded on your phone. The end button is right on top of the ribbon cable for the digitizer. Your phone needs a new digitizer. I had the same thing happen to me. You are not alone and its a common problem. I would say Its actually a fault in the HTC design since the end button puts direct pressure on the digitizer ribbon and eventually its becomes damaged. I have a new hd2 now, but I use button savior on android. It allows you to use a the touch screen to press the end button.
