[HTC EVO 3D] ExploreMN:
I had the Epic and in a phone shuffle gave it to my wife and I got the Evo 3D.

I think both phones have their ups and downs. The Epic has a beautiful screen and, if you turn it down the brightness, battery life is greatly increased. I also really miss the keyboard when getting into a "texting conversation" - for 1-2 texts the Swype keyboard is fine, but for hardcore texting, a real keyboard is better.

The phones weigh about the same to me (don't know actual weights) so that isn't an issue.

The capacitive keys on the Epic are fairly unresponsive and often require a few taps to register (the home, back, menu, search keys). That is an issue I have not seen on the E3D.

The Evo is noticeably faster yet the speed difference is not so remarkable that I would just throw away the Epic like yesterdays garbage.

I haven't compared an identical picture side by side from the cameras, but the E3D camera (2D mode) seems comparable.

The biggest difference is in the screens. AMOLED (Epic) is truly a beautiful piece of technology, but the E3D screen looks "sharper" and I would guess it has higher resolution and pixel density...again, don't know the actual numbers. But it is a visible difference.

One of the only other things that bothered me about the Epic was the power switch and USB port. They were both in bad locations and they should have swapped locations.

If given a choice I would probably go with the Evo 3D for the hardware bump and I actually like the 3D. It takes getting used to...kind of like those pictures you have to look at for a long time and a 3D image pops out...you have to almost "stare through" the picture to see the picture, but now I see 3D on it with no problem. Took a few hours of playing and looking to get used to it.
[HTC EVO 3D] lionmane:
AMOLED screen was bright and nice at the beginning but with time, it got harder to read text on the screen. I don't miss it at all and I'll never switch back. Obviously, the speaker and camera are better on the epic. The 3d aspect of the phone is definitely not a gimmick. Sense is buttery smooth and well worth the switch alone.

[HTC EVO 3D] SideKick2:
Epic has very slow development from sprint and Samsung. I used to own EVO then epic and now back to EVO 3d.

PS. Never going back to Samsung again.
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
I'm from the Epic. I honestly miss Touchwiz and i can't stand sense. i do like the music widget on the lockscreen, but to use to widget, you have to be using sense launcher. I also miss flashing and theming stuff. Hopefully evo gets s-off soon, kinda turns me off all the way with HTC even thinking about locking it up. Tbh, as soon as sgs 2 comes for Sprint, im ebaying the 3vO for it.
[HTC EVO 3D] shook187:
Ok boys, thanks for the great feedbacks. Well today I ended up getting the EVO3d. So far I only had it for a few hours and I already miss my epic speakers, screen and keyboard. But overall I'm very excited about my new toy.
[HTC EVO 3D] ggoldfingerd:
Any updated thoughts from those of you who have switched?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] BehradGH:
Ive downloaded 2 versions of froyo :

1.XXKB1

2.JXKC1

But it is not similar to GingerBread flash files

. No Apboot , Code , CSC , Modem .

Just a .tar file that include this files :

1.amss

2.boot.img

3.csc.rfs

4.recovery.img

5.system.rfs

I unzipped the . Tar file but odin didnt recongized these.

How can i flash these files¿¿
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kills999:
these are one package firmwares..you have to select the one-package option in odin and then select the .tar file you have downloaded..

however if you are downgrading from gingerbread to froyo you have to flash a non one-package firmware(i.e one which has separate CODE,CSC and MODEM files) this is generally the first firmware for a particular android version i.e S5830XXJLC for froyo(others might be non-one package as well but i don't know which others are but the first one definitely should be non one-package).

A one package firmware contains only necessary updates over the previous firmware thus once you flash a non-one package firmware for any android version you can apply subsequent one-package updates for that android version .
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] BehradGH:
How can i get csc and modem and pda and code of 2.2 ??

When.i use one package it is not even booting !!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kills999:
i have already said above...download S5830XXJLC from samfirmware(it has seperate PDA,MODEM,CSC files) ..... KC1 is a firmware update for froyo thus it contains only the necessary changes over the previous versions thus you cant flash it while downgrading it will go into bootloop...

You have to flash a non one-package firmware while downgrading.

and S5830XXJPC is non one-package ,so use that.

[HTC Sensation] quailallstar:
Has anyone figured a way to boost the low sound volume on the Sensation yet? Most probably something that requires root? I love everything about the phone except for the speaker :(
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
We will need root for this. I had it one time on a samsung phone and it also needed root to boost the loudness.
[HTC Sensation] schoei1:
Try the Volume+(Sound Boost) app from the market. There has been a recent update for the Sensation & EVO 3D.
[HTC Sensation] aw1974:
I'm using Equalizer from the Market with the Rock setting with equalizer and virtualizer checked and I no longer need to have the volume maxed out. Works great but I'm going to compare it to Volume + to see which is better.
[HTC Sensation] secano:
^^^ This. Just don't blow up your speaker.
[HTC Sensation] aw1974:
Okay, I just downloaded Volume + for free from androidaudiohacks.com and it works equally well as Equalizer. It has more customization settings but both will do the job.
[HTC Sensation] MohElShafei:
I'm afraid that it might damage the speakers ??
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Volume+ works a treat!!!
[HTC Sensation] erik501:
Why Htc use forever **** speaker!!!!
[HTC Sensation] tenbeau:
Because we all keep buying the issue laden stuff that they put out. They have no impetus to change. They have gotten away with it for this long so why change now? I believe they also rely heavily on the fantastic dev's in this forum to pick up after them and find the solutions to issues that they do not want to take the time to discover. If we all just boycotted buying the newest -greatest- latest for a couple of months and started asking for refunds after the first issue laden device (instead of hanging on hoping for the elusive perfect one and accepting multiple devices and unkept promises from the OEM)they might get the message. Of course this would take away the fun of having cutting edge technology and I would have to find something else to grumble about.LOL:):D:)
[HTC Sensation] daman215:
how loud do you people think that little ass speaker is supose to be its not bigger than the hd2 speaker wich is a whole lot louder face it your going to f up your speaker trying to make it louder
[HTC Sensation] bonebeatz1234:
Volune+ app works wonders on this phone and its free no root needed enjoy.
[HTC EVO 3D] TheMike1:
Great thread, thanks for sharing flipz. I look forward to seeing what you cook up for this phone when perm root is finally achieved :D
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
You mention it may need a reboot. Will these disabled apps stick when rebooted, as we seem to lose root when doing so.
[HTC EVO 3D] flipzmode:
Yes, they do stick through reboot. I'll add that to the original post.
[HTC EVO 3D] YACO:
you can actually install Titanium Backup and completely uninstall apps (instead of disabling them).

[HTC EVO 3D] TheMike1:
Does that stick after a reboot though? I thought that was the issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikevillarroel:
Wow long time no see, good to have more of the og EVO people around here
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
can't we just mount /system and then rm -f the package to completely remove it? sorry if I missed where we can't but I'm dilerious from work all night.
[HTC EVO 3D] unCoRrUpTeD:
The app will reappear with in minutes or after reboot. It will not stick right now.

Would someone please be kind enough to give me the package names for the following apps:

Voicemail

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] dodgeboy:
You can try: mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p23 /system
[HTC EVO 3D] YACO:
it removes the apps... yes! they don't come back...

UPDATE: guess i was wrong... instead of rebooting i shut it down (sleep?) and they didn't come back... but after a full reboot they do. Still, with titanium backup is easier to Freeze the apps :)
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
thnx, will play with it after my nap! lo
[HTC EVO 3D] sshark:
Meh...down with the quote of long-ass OP. People pl make it easy on our eyes by quoting when and where necessary.
[HTC EVO 3D] kaos420:
i dont know why you would disable qik. i removed that before temp root was ever even out. that one is removable same as blockbuster. its the sprint branded that can't.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikevillarroel:
Buy a bigger screen!
[HTC EVO 3D] flipzmode:
A) it was just an example. I knew the package name off the top of my head. B) "removing" those apps that Sprint allowed people to remove actually only pm disables them, same as this here. It does not remove them from the phone..
[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
i 2nd this too
[HTC EVO 3D] Excrucibo:
Thanks for this. This is my first Android, and even though I have hardly any coding experience, this was easy to follow, and, more importantly, it worked!

Evertime we flash outside of kies the custom binary counter goes up by 1, is there an easy way to reset this counter or would this counter be also used to deny warranty ?

Yes its not for anything else .

If you search you will find the binary custom rom counter posts and how to reset via usb jig .

So I'm kind of new to android phones, so sorry for the noob question...I see V10C firmware out there on the forums but mine has V10b and even after FOTA its still V10b.

Is it worth updating to V10c?

Why does the LG update tool on my PC say V10b is still the latest and greatest for P990?
[LG Optimus 2x] topanyel:
because the version number is named differently for some countries, some got D, C and B

Imo you should not bother downloading and installing other countries firmware if there are no issues with your phone, but you will hear many different opinions regarding this matter :)

[Eee Pad Transformer General] seedofchaos:
I bought a transformer a day or two ago at pc Richards. The problem is I have one tiny dead pixke but I fixed that but now I realise there's a dust at the top of "s" in Asus. Everything else is surprisingly perfect no light bleeding the software is super fast and responsive ,and the speakers work great and everything. Should i just say tough poo and keep it or risk It and return it for one that could be bad. What would you do?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] slopokdave:
Are you reffering to the Asus in the bezel? If so, keep it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
Keep it for a day or too more and see if the dust really bothers you. These things get finger prints smudges so bad I carry a cleaning cloth in my case. In a day you might find that the smudges obscure any dust.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brando56894:
It all depends on how anal you are, I wouldn't send money back just because it has district under the screen (unless there's a lot of it and its highly visible) . I have a few light bleeds on mine and it doesn't really bother me.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkRyoushii:
Hey there,

I've been experiencing data connection issues very commonly since receiving this phone. I've gone from 1.2.6 to 1.5.7 to 1.8.3 to 2.3.4 and after trying all builds, my data (after using WiFi) is very unstable.

The connection symbol will disappear completely after a while of WiFi and won't turn back on until I go to my access point names and "Edit" (just opening the edit page fixes it) the primary APN. Other symptoms include but probably aren't limited too; data turning to upload only.. the up arrow is lit up but never downloads anything and also constant drop outs while in use.

I know my mobile carrier isn't the most reputable in Australia, but this phone is running on their BRAND NEW (weeks old) 850MHz network, leading me to believe that it's a hardware issue (apparent on both Froyo and Gingerbread too) D:

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanzscreams:
i had the same issue, everytime i would start and app that required data i qould have to sit there and refresh over and over, and it would just time out saying data unavail, even though right before i would open the app, data worked fine, so i flashed the new radio and took out my sim card while doing it, reset apn list to default and made sure my phone was on hspa, now shes working perfectly

[HTC Desire S] Palawan:
Hello all,

I'm having this problem with my HTC Desire S.

Everytime I start an app that uses my GPS, and tries to get a fix. Like maps, runkeeper or GPS Status. I lose my data connection.

I can go to my settings then. And in my settings its still turned on, but I dont have the little icon on top, neither do I have an internet connection.

I can turn off my data connection then, en turn it back on. And then it reconnects again, and both my GPS and data connection are working.

Untill I exit the app that uses my gps, and if after an hour or so I use my GPS again, the problem repeats itself.

Anyone else had this problem and / or know a fix for it?

I've used the search, but nothing came up.
[HTC Desire S] petreski:
Hello,

I had the same problem but it resolved with GPS TEST application from market.

Turn on GPS and mobiile network then run app Gps Test and from settings menu clear a-gps then update Gps and wait to lock gps to satellites.

After that you can use some navigation software such iGO, Sygic .. and so ..

I solved my problem with this way.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] ctinro:
Recently, after trying alot of ROMs, I decided to come back to a more battery care system. Because I love the original SE Theme, and because when I tried themes made for other ROMs/versions my X8 crashed, I made this blue theme. I don't know if it works for others, but for floyo-0.20 surely do.

I made two versions:

- one with the original battery icon and

- one with a circle battery

If you like it, you are welcome to use it.

[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] ctinro:
@ vjun: I used stock images, but the sliders are from Floyo. I like more those from Froyo.

@ Coffinator: I can't take screen captures for now because I am calibrating my battery (really :o). But the script allows you to revert if you don't like it.

NB. The script it's not mine. The credits goes to him, someone on this forum.

And, BTW: choose SENSE_Stock theme, and reboot. So it worked for me.

Ok there's where the problem happened. That .tar only contains the sbl.bin (secondary bootloader) with no primary.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crt60:
One thing I found after bricking my phone a few times is you might want to try download mode again. Have Odin running with a full stock rom loaded. Try the battery trick again. Plug your phone into the usb cable, making sure the battery is removed. Hold both volume buttons and insert your battery. Wait a minute while holding the volume buttons. While holding the volume buttons, keep pulling the battery out and putting it back in. Even though nothing shows up on the phone screen, once Odin did pick up the phone on com and I was able to flash it.

worth a shot. I was ready to send my my phone in for jtag, but persisted and got lucky.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
If you flashed Gingerbread bootloaders, then flashed 3 button fix, you hard bricked it. Only way to revive it is with jtag.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connexion2005:
If you are planning on seeking local help, make them promise you they have repaired that model before. If they ruin your pads, there will be no saving that phone. It's not something to just attempt and see if you can pull it off. You pull a pad, your chances are over and the board is a complete loss.

will all bricked data[i flash custom rom/root] info gonna be in the phone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Im not sure if u can. Keep in mind the reason the phone is bricked is because you flashed an incorrect sbl. As to can they find out, i would think so but I dont know.

I just bricked my phone today too.. Feel so stupid :(

I'm guessing my problem is also because of the bootloader mixup? If anyone could confirm I'd appreciate it, or perhaps there is some way to fix this before resorting to JTAG?
