[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] crackpot:
Whenever I attempt to manually enter a number into the Dialer app (DialerTabActivity.apk) that is not in my contacts list the app will close to the home screen without an FC message or anything else. I have tried clearing my cache + Dalvik Cache, along with clearing the data for the app, and any associated with it.

Here is the adb logcat results when typing in a random number and having it close to the home screen.

My suspicion is it has something to do with the contacts, but I don't know of any way to test that theory.

Any help is greatly appreciated. If it matters I am using the ADW Ex launcher.

EDIT Right now I'm trying the versions of DialerTabActivity.apk, Contacts.apk, and ContactsProvider.apk from ICBINB's first GB version, will post results.

EDIT #2 As I figured it just caused FC's.

will sprint hike its monthly prices for an iphone? :eek:
[Off-topic] MartyLK:
Sweet! Exactly what Apple needs. The more choices for the iPhone, the better. Sprint doesn't have a great many high-end phones but the iPhone should compensate for that.

BTW for apple lovers - IPhone 5 its supposed to support both systems CDMA and GSM

[Off-topic] MartyLK:
It would probably be firmware dependent for whichever carrier it comes from. I can't see carriers going along with a phone that can be easily used on another network.
[Off-topic] gab2012:
Hmmm who knows, maybe apple will make one iphone 5 that complies with GSM and CDMA bands for all the networks...somehow lock up the extra bands and use them for international roaming.
[Off-topic] techspec06:
Wasn't Sprint supposedly going to announce some sort of great news this fall? I hope this wasn't their great news. I was hoping for a vast network upgrade. Iphone5 is the last thing that Sprint needs on their network. Very few have access to Sprints small 4G wimax network and the Iphone5 most likely won't be Wimax capable. Judging by the speed at which Sprint has rolled out their 4G, I doubt that their 3G network will be capable of handling the influx of Iphone fanboys. Sorry to be so negative, but I went through this same crap with AT&T back when they got the first Iphone and the network went to junk overnight.

I hope Sprint proves me wrong since I recently renewed my contract. Won't have to wait long to find out!

[Off-topic] Visionikz03:
I agree!!!! They need to get these multimode towers and rev b and rolled out ASAP and move voice to old iden frequency if they expect to take on the iphone! cuz it wont be only current sprint customers looking to upgrade but undoubtedly some iphoners from at&t and maybe even verizon will jump ship to sprint for various reasons. Id estimate at least 10,000 iphones on sprint by the end of the year...
[Off-topic] KnowledgeBroker:
10,000 eh? LOL. Think in millions my friend.

And to the Guy who contemplated that they would charge more for iPhone than android.. they won't.

Personally I wouldn't want an iPhone over an android. Also I wouldn't want sprint over T-Mobile because of their high prices without reasoning.

Also, I'm pretty sure it has been confirmed that all carriers get the same hardware because it has cdma and GSM hardware, and each carrier will have their phones locked to their carrier. You will be able to buy unlocked phones(as you can any phone) and a carrier will of course be happy to set you up on their service. I don't think there is a valid reason this wouldn't be the case.

Apple made the move to cdma /GSM devices to avoid hardware fragmentation, that way ios works the same on all current devices, making it easier to upgrade ios and build apps for.

The single thing that makes ALL apple products outperform most competitors is that all of their devices only make up a few dozen hardware profiles, of which they support the 2-3 most recent. This is why ios4 only works on iphone3g and more recent, lion only works on more recent MacBook/airs/etc hardware.

Much easier to support a handful of hardware configurations(apple model) than hundreds/thousands of Chipset/hardware combinations(all PC's or androids). Apple realizes that limiting hardware combinations AND functionality will provide a more stable/smooth experience, be easier to keep updated, though less innovative(not allowing basic functions like saving and managing file system) and competitive. Hence why you kind of have to be in the apple cult or have a REAL use for their devices to desire it over a PC or android platform.
[Off-topic] Visionikz03:
Lol i was being conservative in the fact that some androiders might stick with it rather than jumping ship but yea millions in prolly a more accurate number... i wish it wasn't cuz that means even slower 3g speeds compared to now... hopefully Sprint will grab the bull by the horns with this series of network upgrades to accomodate this new fanbase.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dased14:
splash is the pic you see right after you power up the phone (on stock its the htc one)

bootanimation is the animated clip that starts right after the splash screen cuts out.

is the one you want to use flashable(maker of it usually says) flashables go on sdcard and then you boot into recovery scroll to flash from zip and press power let system copy files and then it ask to reboot. if you have to use root explorer you(may have to unzip the file and change the name to match the rom your running) put on sdcard open root explorer(make sure system is mounted) long press on the bootanimation.zip(name may very depending on rom you use) select copy(move) and then you go to the folder where your bootanimations go and paste(you may have to check the permissions) long press on the bootanimation.zip and go to props and near the bootom it will say permissions and it should have rw--r-r if not you have to change it. to change the permissions press the change button in props and there are 3 names with 3 boxes each, this is what should be checked in the 3 groups.

user: read(checked) write(checked)

group: read(checked)

other: read (checked)

nothing else should have checks in them.

hope my ramblin helps some

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dased14:
if using root explorer

you need to unzip it and take out the bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3, the mp3 file gets move with root explorer to system/customize/resource and the Htc_bootanimation file gets moved to data/local. names should be fine if you have the last one i posted. after you move them with root explorer there is no need to go into recovery.

[Xperia Play General] SemiGamer:
Alright so the Play has always interested me ever since Verizon got i but I never bought it because there was nothing to do with it root wise, so I've just been waiting and checking this forum weekly to see how it progresses. And from what I understand there is now a fully working ROM (FTS) and an overclockable kernel (dooms). Correct?

Also, and be honest with your answers and unbiased please,

Would you guys recommend getting this phone coming from an Epic 4G on sprint?

Thanks in advance for your humble opinions.
[Xperia Play General] Reapman:
If you want a gaming phone this is it. Hands down. However unless your planning on playing a ton of games the epic 4g is very nice as well. if I was you I'd stick with your phone and wait for a new xperia play model.

Edit: I might have misunderstood your question ... if your switching providers and need a new phone anyways the xperia play is a great phone. Its a bit thick with the slider but fits comfortably in my pocket. Sure its not dual core but I find it plenty fast. Haven't played with the epic 4g but its similar to a galaxy s right? I gave my galaxy s to my girlfriend and kept this play :)
[Xperia Play General] SemiGamer:
I see I see.

I've been thinking about switching to verizon ever since I got sprint because theirs horrible signal at my house but I've just been using wifi and not calling people in my house because there was no phone on verizon that caught my eye, till the Play came than I checked the Dev support on it and there wasn't much for the r800x so I held off. Just interested me again when I saw it finally got some dev and user love recently.

And yeah the Epic is more or less the Fascinate just with a front camera and keyboard.

Would ya say the play is better than the fascinate? Guessing that's the one you meant you gave your girl. :)
[Xperia Play General] vincientjames:
The fascinate doesn't really compete with the play; its a year old phone that has samsung is poor at supporting.

Yes, there is a root+overclocking kernal however keep in mind that none of that is stable at this point. People are just getting comfortable having root and trying different methods and ROMS so it's going to be a month or so before theres a simple, straight-forward solution.

As far as other phones on Verizon, honestly I would say the bionic is the only other phone to consider. 4G is the only thing that the play is missing compared to other devices since dual core processors aren't support in Android 2.3.

It really comes down to what you want to do on your phone at the end of the day. The play is capable of doing the same tasks as any other phone on verizon (outside of 4G data) with very minor performance differences. On top of that you get the full physical controls, stereo speakers, and 150+ games to go with it. However, if your gaming on your phone doesn't venture outside of Angry Birds, then there's no point in having the play. If you don't game, it will be easy to find a phone that's thinner and has a better camera (camera on the play is just fine just nothing to brag about).

At the end of the day you have 30 days to decide if you want to keep the phone with verizon or not. They'll charge you a $50 restocking fee if you return it but honestly if you care about gaming I would get the play first. If you find that you don't use it enough or something sticks out to you that you don't like, you'll still be able to return it and reselect a different phone.

Whatever you choose do not, I repeat DO NOT get a Droid x2. My roomate and his girlfriend both got one at launch and have had nothing but problems.
[Xperia Play General] SemiGamer:
Thanks a lot for the info,

I'm on my girls fascinate at the moment and I personally dont like thin phones because I have long hands and phones like this just don't feel as comfy as my fat epic with a case on It lol.

Im definitely leaning toward the play, only thing I'm kicking myself in the arse about now is not getting it sooner, before verizon got rid of the damn unlimited plan :(
[Xperia Play General] vincientjames:
Honestly the unlimited data isn't a big deal for me. If I have to download a large game or file I usually do it over Wifi anyway. I could see it being an issue though if you stream media a lot.
[Xperia Play General] hairdewx:
Are you sure you'll get Verizon signal at your house? Sometimes Sprint and Verizon will share the same towers.

Anyways, I am loving my Play right now. I am currently playing Minecraft :D
