[Thunderbolt General] pdxphreek:
I must have lucked out with mine, I only had maybe 4 reboots in the entire two weeks I had the phone prior to rooting and loading roms on it (I got it in March).

Switching AOSP roms dramatically improved the battery life, I don't have GPS issues. I feel bad for everyone hating on the TB because they're having bad issues.

One thing that occurred to me though, regarding the battery life problem - what do you honestly expect? Every phone that has a giant screen has a short battery life. It's pretty much the bane of every smart phone owner, no matter which platform you're on. Of course it's not going to be as good as the D1 or earlier phones just because the screen is much bigger...
[Thunderbolt General] scook9:
Chuck Norris actually asked permission to use a Thunderbolt.....it may not have been the phone after the one in his dreams....because it was only the phone in his dreams ;)
[Thunderbolt General] zeeza57:
I got my Tbolt in april. Did a lot of research online read everything I could find pro and con on it. Knew it had video sound issues but still got it and have never looked back. I upgraded from the dinc 1. I now have a larger screen, super charged dinc 1 with 4G goodness. Talk and surf at the same time. Played with friends IPhone 4, it has nothing oner the Tbolt. Sure it has its bugs but what first line phone doesnt. I will stick with the Tbolt for a couple yrs as by then, phones might be able to cook and do dishes too. Lol
[Thunderbolt General] iflip:
I'm not rooted but I "like" my tb. Since upgrading from a bb to Android, HTC has been the only way I've went. Eris, incredible to tb. On my next upgrade I think I'm gonna try another brand tho. I'm following the news on the Samsung galaxy Q, the 5inch phablet. Lol. Hopefully it would have usb host mode. Im willing to try any large phone on Verizon that has that.
[Thunderbolt General] mAlfunkti0n:
Threads like these kill me. The phone was the FIRST of it's kind, anyone expecting it to be perfect lives in a dream world.

However, for any needs I have had the phone works darn near perfect. Running CM7 + extended battery, things are great.

I will say this, after having 4g speed I don't think I could go back to 3g on a permanent basis. Tried using my wife's X last night and finally had to connect to the wifi to get anything done.

It's pretty sad that I tried to search all the forums and nothing came back with anything with "EH06" in it. Now, since you pointed me to it, I just searched the sticky thread by itself and it's there. Sorry about that.

[Epic 4G General] slybarman:
Sorry, but the "rumor" thread is nothing but pages and pages of total crap about every phone in the world except the Epic, then the same guys that post all the garbage complain when people can't find something Epic related and they start a new thread. Makes no sense.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Thanks for posting the link OP.

Now to the guy I quoted:

Its all in the OP of my thread. Not the rest of the thread. And I don't complain, or else i'd have attacked this already. Learn about something before you complain about it. And obviously, the mods thought it was good enough to sticky. I rest my case.

This is still the Epic forum and that thread is a zillion pages of everything BUT the Epic. So, the original post of that thread may be on topic, the rest is all off-topic garbage that belongs somewhere else.
[Epic 4G General] shane6374:
Zander, your OP in the rumor thread is nice because the links are all right there. However discussion about the topics it too splintered thoughout the thread. I honestly would rather see Epic related general topics each have their own thread where the posts are about that one topic. I think your thread is great for topics like what new phones are coming, or things about sprints future 4g plans, and things like that.

I wish the people that frequent your thread could just leave everyone else alone and not complain when someone starts an Epic related topic that has already had a mention in your thread.

I for one, only look at the OP of your thread just to find the links.

Not complaining, just my 2 cents.
[Epic 4G General] Neckberg:
I appreciate separate threads on topic about the Epic, instead of one big jumbled thread. Nice OP, but the rest is trash to me (maybe your treasure?).

So, what would be different on this rom compared to EG22? I am only noticing google Nav crashing on me, everything else I have been okay with.

[Epic 4G General] :
I support both having a new thread for rdf's & zandr's thread. ZRT should be used for when rdf's become outdated, or widely known. Not everyone check xda everyday, so after a week or two after EH06 thread die down and can't be found they can ZRT for the latest builds.
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
imo the forum should be used like a forum and shouldn't rely on one person to compile all of the information. If I wanted to wait for someone to get around to updating I would read a blog. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

[Epic 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Lol well one thing I have been reading up on is the Epic getting the gingerbread update soon.

Would be nice to see it come out needs it pretty bad only thing that was slowing it down was due to the touch wiz.

Read up on it on google.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Actually, our hold up was mostly modem issues.

Posted by Mr. Z's Epic 4G.
[Epic 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Not from what I been reading on google. From what I read the touch wiz was causing issues and was a hold up on the official drop not the leaked ones better to have the offical drop to fix the random issues and patch all the holes..

:D

Few other sites with more info also :D ;)
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
They don't have sprint employees with inside info like we do :) . All the leaked modems have had problems. Touchwiz has almost nothing to do with the holdup. Especialy since the OG Galaxy S aready has GB with Touchwiz.

Posted by Mr. Z's Epic 4G.
[Epic 4G General] GrimReaper24:
That is what I keep reading on google about the hold up was due to the touch wiz ui. I know the leaked versions can be glitchy and *****y lol. Hopeing they drop a cleaned up flawless version that will have fixes.
[Epic 4G General] malcolmXman:
I can promise you 70% of the work being done was testing and tweaking the modem, they were actually trying to lower power consumption and several other improvments, TWui was a small part, and on the back burner. So the hold up was it wasn't being worked on at the time maybe lol.

[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
doubt it looks theres been several builds that havent been leaked or has been leaked and GB still isnt on our phones officially and OUR EPICS ARE EOL by the end of this year (2011) mind you we have only few months left.
[Epic 4G General] faceless:
how about no.
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
End of Life just means they're not making them anymore, correct? Not that they won't continue to support them.

I wouldn't count on a whole lot coming for them after the EOL date, but I would expect fixes if bugs are present even after that date.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Exactly. We could still get updates. That is Samsung's decision not Sprints. Sprint will stop selling them as the Conquer will be only $100 and is the exact same phone only smaller with cheaper cameras. Updates for that will probably be the same for our phone.
[Epic 4G General] stevesprivateaccount:
Typically end of life is end of sales, with end of support depending on industry being usually at least 12 months later, but sometimes up to 5 years.

As for software upgrades, typically end of life also meas end of new features, bug fixes only.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Well that's cool that they just made a new gb build 4 days ago

But now all that means, again, is that we're going t obviously wait longer for the official one to drop. I wish they would just release one and then release all these weekly builds they have as updates -_-
[Epic 4G General] nikon120:
There is too much money and man power involved with releasing updates freely like you suggest.

Given the massive amount of end users, this would be expensive. (Infrastructure and man power costs)

It would be an unnecessary added stress/pain for the system admins.

You greatly increase the likelihood of bricking phones, which costs money.

You would end up increasing the traffic into Sprint stores over any minuscule problem blamed on an update. Basically opening the door to people making fake claims. (Back to man power and costs)

Plus, they're probably fine tuning the remaining items for the release.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
I still think August 22nd is the relase day. Its 2 weeks and 2 days after EH06, which is about how long they usually test(2 weeks).

Posted by Mr. Z's Epic 4G.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
They've been finetuning gb since april.

But I do see your valid points.

Well since they're getting new builds everyweek now, that means less changes are being made which means they're close to a final product :D
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Yepp, I think they're sending us to eol the right way, with as few bugs as possible.

Posted by Mr. Z's Epic 4G.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
its going to be hillarious when they never release gb for the epic.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Care to put a wager on that?
[Epic 4G General] nimaim:
If this is truly the last GB build, then yes, I can see it happening August 22nd as well, up til the last week of August. Regardless, we know we're getting a lot more goodies very soon.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
They had to delay the release of the Conquer (Epic jr.) because of the GB bugs by a month so you know they have extra incentive to get it done and get it right. They don't want their tech support lines swamped with these bug reports after release.
[Epic 4G General] Marlinsfan88:
rofl oh man that was effin funny =P
[Epic 4G General] cdszoke:
I really hope update ends up as drastic or more than the atrix gb update. I just watch a review on that update and it supposedly made the atrix 1000 times better.
[Epic 4G General] deano0714:
If they werent planning on releasing why would they waste time and money on making it.

[General Questions and Answers] kagaos:
Hi guys...I have a rather atypical (to this forum anyways) question. How do I go about reflashing the firmware on a Samsung Gusto?

The reason for doing this is because the phone somehow went into download mode by itself. I'm not sure how that happened but it did and now when ever I try to turn it on it does nothing. The only way to get a sign of life out of it is by plugging it in and then it shows the verizon screen at which point it does nothing else.

Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hey everyone

just switched from HTCs sprint evo to Verizon droid charge. Was wondering, what happened to gif animations? My evo did this flawlessly. I can't see how my phone can render movies, games, hack other computers, change the channel on the tv, etc. But can't animate a gif in the browser?

If anyone can tell me a tweak or a Rom that does this, im all ears.

Also, could someone manage to get a still of the boot animation to use as wallpaper?

Thanks in advance! .

[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
different browser is your best bet for online .gifs, I use quickpic in place of the stock gallery and it has no trouble playing saved ones... as for the boot animation as a live wallpaper it hasn't been done yet, doesn't mean it can't be its just that its hard to take samsung's special .qmg file and make it into anything usable
[Verizon Droid Charge] kkeller87:
Thanks for the replies. Firefox is working fine. Was hoping to get gif animations, user agent options, and flash all in the same browser. I guess i was spoiled with my EVO.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kkeller87:
Thanks for the input on the boot animation. You mentioned the live wallpaper. How about just a still of it? Id probably be happy with someone taking a picture of it and photocopying it into something presentable.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
its still hard to do as it can't be screenshot (unless you mean taking a pic of the phone screen with another phone/camera which may work but won't be too high quality I think) and can't be made into any kind of usable .gif or video due to the retarded proprietary .qmg animation file... I bet a dev or someone with more android knowledge may be able to do something with it but no luck so far, even the mighty google has failed in turning up anything usable lol

let me take a stab at maybe getting a still shot of it :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] kkeller87:
I doubt anything of decent quality can be made without a good camera that can get focus on something that small and detailed. But if you can ill buy you a beer :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
i researched further: .qmg files are proprietary to samsung and cannot be opened, edited, or played unless you work for samsung and have access to the source used to make the .qmg... this means our only options are to screenshot it to get either a picture or a video, but as I said it will not be too high quality :(

edit: no luck trying to get a picture with a camera, it just looks like crap... I can only think of two options, maybe finding a high quality video of it online and using that to make something or possibly connecting it to an HDTV and maybe getting a screen cap that way
[Verizon Droid Charge] kkeller87:
Thanks for looking into it for me. I will look into it when i get a hdmi cable to try it out. Great idea tho, putting it on a tv.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
Np.. Hope something works, I'd love that as a live wallpaper or hell even a pic for a background. It's been worked on and many people want it, so hopefully someone can do something :)

I was thinking too that since obviously the phone can run/play those kind of files, I wondered if there was a way to get it to play it while the phone's on to maybe get it that way

edit: also kinda sorta found it here in the VZ commercial for it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc3aLMTwB0c&feature=related

if anyone's good with video editing maybe you can grab it from there, about 23 seconds in :D

[Windows Phone 7 General] solidkevin:
which you like better? And do you think new WP7 phones are coming soon? Will they bring FFC? Dual Core?
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Focus all the way (better screen, try doing a side by side comparison, that will highlight the screen differences, camera)

No dual cores (chips not certified), FFC likely

New devices expected within next few months with Mango preinstalled.
[Windows Phone 7 General] AidenM:
IMHO, wait for the HTC Eternity. It looks really nice, its what I'll be getting. 4.7" screen, 1.5 GHz processor, etc. Great specs.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
same. I am ordering pairs of new jeans with bigger pockets.:D
[Windows Phone 7 General] naplesbill:
Well, I have owned both and I much prefer the HD7S over the Focus. The only real asset on the Focus is the screen, and that depends on how you use it. I much prefer the feel of the HD7S and the screen is actually more to my liking on the HD7S as well.

The Focus feels cheap compared to the HD7S IMO. They have the same processor and memory also. The Focus can be upgraded just by adding a supported MicroSD, however, the HD7 can also be upgraded if you are not afraid of a little disassembly.

The thing about devices is the most of it is subjective. I prefer the SLCD and larger screen on the HD7S. I also like the kickstand feature. HTC also gives you an LED flashlight app, which is not available through normal means on other WP7 devices.

I have a Focus for sale if you are interested.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
The screen on the HD7s is reportedly pretty nice. And I'm sure if you do a lot of reading of text, may be preferable.

I personally like the form-factor the Focus more, 4" seems to be just right for me.

The Focus also has a better camera.

But honestly, I would try to get your hands around both, and decide for yourself which one feels better.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
Sexy Body of HD7... :D

The eye-candy level of HD7 is on the top of the chart
[Windows Phone 7 General] adiliyo:
they're both nice, i've been tempted to find an hd7s to play with, but i'm more than happy with my focus, i love samoled screens, and 4" is the sweet spot for me size wise.

new wp7 handsets should be coming out his fall/winter, all (most likely) will be single core, but probably clocked higher than the 1ghz soc's we have now, and be running the newer qualcomm chips, i'm sure there will be some FFC handsets too.

if you need a new phone now, i'd go find a focus or hd7s on CL or ebay, i bought mine for 200 a few months ago, i'll possibly sign a contract for a mango device later, especially since they're so close to be released. personally, i'm waiting for the wp7 SGS2 variant.

as to which one, they're both great phones that will perform essentially the same, the focus has an arguably better camera, and a warranty voiding free method of upgrading memory, but the choice will basically come down to which form factor (essentially the size of phone/screen) works best for you.

also, there is more developement (community wise) going on with htc phones vs samsung atm, so that could possibly factor into your choice as well...
