Oh, and please tell me how it is Evil. You can do just as much on WP7 as you can on Android.

And the purpose for rooting is to make your phone better, which normally turns out for the worse anyways. Everything is already top notch with battery life, notification system, and runs way better than any other Android phone I have seen thus far.

So please explain to me how the company is Evil in "so so many ways", because from how I see it, they are writing the script for the best phones on the market.

And this is one of the biggest rooting communities on the web for Android right? Too bad it makes up about 2% OF THE POPULATION THAT ACTUALLY DOES THIS TO THEIR PHONES.

[EVO 4G General] Dj21o:
I've heard bad things about the 3VO. But I still love my Evo. I like to get my information regardless of how I do it on a phone.

The windows phones are convenient, though. Everything is on the front, updating/syncing so you don't have to go to multiple apps for your information, resulting in less time on the phone. Also, the battery is significantly better (from what I've seen) than any Android phone. If you so leave your data on with wifi, and sync, you're in trouble lol. Oh, and having taskillers are necessary as well. Not to mention underclocking the kernel. Its soooooo frustrating. But, Android has the most variety and customization by far.

I wish you could take all of these features and make a Super OS lol.

[EVO 4G General] aburgthing:
I went to Best Buy for a side by side comparison; Evo 3D vs OG Evo. With Synergy on my OG Evo, the difference was simply not enough to justify using my upgrade for the 3D. I used my upgrade money on an Asus Transformer to keep me occupied until the next great Sprint phone comes along.

P.S. no wonder Sprint and HTC didn't really upgrade Sense 1.0 on the Evo. I imagine their sells of the Evo 3D would have been rather disappointing.

P.S.S. usually don't comment on "out of place" replies, but what motivates a person to preach the praises of an opposing OS e.g. WP7 or IOS in an Android forum? IDK I guess I'm just the kind that avoids controversy.

I flashed myns synergy rom a couple of weeks ago and have been getting decent battery life. Today my battery life is blowing me away. Going on 11 1/2 hours since being unplugged with my normal usage and still have 22% battery left. Not heavy use by any means but moderate at least. I have never seen this kind of battery life on any other rom I have flashed. Any other synergy users seeing good battery life?

Im at 54% now took it off the charger at 1030 am i set words with friends to not update and it seemed to help.

There's a great battery guide in the Q/A section, all kinds of tricks. Might find the guide to kernels there too, another way to drastically improve battery life. The new GB kernel sprint released is garbage, try netarcy-toast "brand" kernels
[EVO 4G General] Sunsparc:
No where near CM7's battery life, but still very much a daily driver. I usually plugged up at around 40% battery after at least 12 hours usage.
[EVO 4G General] vbetts:
Pretty decent for a Sense rom.
[EVO 4G General] statik711:
I've had my Evo unplugged for the last 2 days and still sitting at 43%. This is with sending about 60 texts, facebooked, got on frostwire for a bit, made like 12 calls, played a couple of rounds of Angry Birds and been on wifi about 95 percent of the time. Never has this happened with other roms. And I have tried a lot. Only thing disabled was 4G(none in my area)
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
Unplugged Sunday at about 2pm, it's now Tues at noon, I'm still at 49%.

Light to moderate usage since then, about 200 texts, a few short phone calls, and about two hours combined of facebook and twitter. VERY good life for 2 days worth of usage.
[EVO 4G General] cr8n:
I just recently switched over from CM7 to Synergy RC1... I loved when I went away from Sense to AOSP and was reluctant to switch back. But very pleased and battery life I can confirm is excellent for me as well. My only gripe now is that I'm getting the darn unread email count showing up on my home screen icons even though there is no unread emails. I have found online that it is a known issue and mostly seen in 2.3.3? Can anyone confirm that?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] jamiejayhawk:
I have tried several sense 2.1+3.0 roms, Virus Kingdom revolution, and mik g I have never been more happy than once I began using Synergy. Heck I even devoted a whole post on Google+ about it. Very stable and my battery is ridiculous. I took my phone off the charger at 6:30 am cdt its now 12:15 pm and I'm at 78%. That's with heavy usage. Great job devs.
[EVO 4G General] Neitmrh15:
Seems like people are getting better battery life now that its been out for awhile, aging like a fine wine :D
[EVO 4G General] bigdog1171:
When I first flashed I was goeeting okay battery life, the past few days has blown me away. I am used to seeing my battery drop like mad...but it does not do that anymore. I did nothing that I have not done on other ROMs, it just seems to work better after being on the phone a couple of weeks. This will be my ROM for quite some time now!
[EVO 4G General] ncfastls1:
I'm really trying to get to the bottom of this display usage issue. My display usage stays extremely high compared to everything else. The more I use the phone, the higher it goes. Say if I use the phone a lot, it will be around 90%. If I barely touch the phone, it will go down to 50% but it's still a LOT higher than everything else. And it drains the hell out of my battery. If I barely use it I can get maybe 12 hours at most. If I do use it, I'll be lucky to get 7-8 hours.

It starting happening to me on MikFroyo but it didn't use to do it before. And now I'm noticing the same thing with Synergy. This is driving me nuts because it's keeping me from using my two favorite roms as a daily. I'll post three pictures. One is what my battery life/usage used to look like, one on MikFroyo 4.62, and one on Synergy RC1. I would really appreciate any insight to this.

Edit: It's only these two roms (that I've tried at least) that gives me this issue, and I think MikG if I can remember correctly. CM, Salvage-Mod, and a few other older Sense roms do not cause it.
[EVO 4G General] ronnienyc:
This is with MikG 1.5, with my usual fairly heavy use.

AMAZING battery life, and 100% stable in my experience.

I have tried many, many ROMs and this one beats all.
[EVO 4G General] spanglmd:
no idea how people get battery life like that. i'm lucky to make it a 14 hours~ with similar usage
[EVO 4G General] ronnienyc:
I was getting maybe 14-16 hours, then I removed the check mark from Always On Data, and the battery life doubled. (again, this is with MikG only.)
[EVO 4G General] treedog5:
battery

let me start by saying that i used to think the same way your thinking untill one of the guys on the synergy post broke it down for me. it's simple, you keep thinking that the display% is an issue but it's only a number and it doesnt represent your actual battery drain. if you hardly use your phone, lets say u make a couple of calls, check some mail and browse the web. well the percentage is correct, your display was on longer than any other application. so it's going to be higher no question. the real question is are you getting good battery life or not? i'm on synergy RLC1 and after some suggestions that i upgrade my PRL, PRi, and wimax. which i did, now im getting great battery life even though my display percentage is still the highest application.
[EVO 4G General] ncfastls1:
That is only the case if it's maybe a little higher than the rest of the things. It's a percentage of what has used the battery. When the display is at 90% and everything else is at 3% or less, there is a problem. And no, I am getting HORRIBLE battery life. Like I explained, on ROMs that don't have the extremely high display usage I can get 20-30 hours on one charge. The way the battery drains when I'm using it is extremely noticeable. The picture I posted that has been on for 14 hours with 48% left, that's how my battery usage should look. Granted I hadn't used the phone as much as normal that day, it still would be around the range of everything else.
[EVO 4G General] treedog5:
battery

ok, may i suggest that you upgrade all PRI, PRL, wimax etc.. you know all that stuff and give it 2 days to see if that helps. it made a major difference for me..

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flimsy888:
Journaling basically keeps a cache of all recently changed files so if you lose power un-expectantly...i.e battery yank you don't get fc when you boot back up!

Journaling off = Faster (some people get fc's without journaling)

A friend of mine just purchased a Droid X and wants it flashed to Metro PCS. While I've never flashed a Droid, I have flashed my EVO and Epic, but this is completely different it seems. The only root instructions I've found is on the wiki page, and I have no clue as to how to use Android SDK. Is there any other method I could use, considering this phone has never been activated? If I could get past this activation screen, then I'm pretty sure I could get everything else done.

To be hoest with you, I don't think you can flash a verizon phone to metro PCS, isn't that A GSM based system? If so this is a CDMA Phone which doesnt take a SIM card. Also you'd need software from Metro PCS for you to flash which doesnt exist for the Droid X (Or at least thats what I think)

Hey boys and girls, first post here =] loving the galaxy s2 (iPhone 4 convert!)

As the title states, has anyone found a way of remotely connecting to a network via 3g with the basic applications being WOL (wake on lan) and file retrieval?

Would be a very handy tool to have to remotely start/shutdown PC's as needed, not sure on the feasibility of creating such an app or if it is already in existence.

Regards,

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danhade:
I use WOL from Market. Waking up pc's over 3g is a bit of a hit or miss. It will wake up the pc sometimes. I had to make sure port 9 (did both tcp and udp to be safe) was forwarded on my router - in conjunction with a dynamic dns account also in my router settings.

I use a combination of 2x client from the market or teamviewer - they both work well. Teamviewer requires a server on your computer.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] AnguishedEnd:
Ok, so I've been using the stock android music player for over 2 months now. It has all the functionality I want in a music player except maybe editing tags (album name, artists, etc) and finding album art (Album Art Grabber is my current solution to this).

The problem I have been having with this player is that when transferring music to the phone via 'Windows Media Sync' option is that sometimes the album art will not appear on the phone (happens to quite a few albums) and also the tags will be messed up. For instance, just recently I turned the phone on and was browsing my music library and all of a sudden the song titles appeared in lower case (ie. 'Tighten Up' became 'tighten up') I know this is a small thing but I find it annoying a little. Other things like artists will appear as 'Unknown'.

Anyone experience these problems as well? What programs/apps do you guys use? I've tried out poweramp trial version and it does allow my to edit tags but I was wondering if there is an app that is a sort of one click 'Find Album Info' like in Windows Media Player?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JupiterdroidXDA:

I was under the impression that you can still get into CWM recovery while in bootloop? Just do the three button combo (volume up + home button + power button) after pulling/replacing the battery, no? I haven't had a boot loop in a while so I'm not entirely sure. I realize you mean that it's the only recovery method, but I think omar meant how to get into recovery in general during a boot loop.
