[Nexus S General] jackslim:
Through step 2 your stock OS is unchanged

Part 3 installs a custom recovery which is needed if you want superuser permissions

Part 4 installs the files needed to have root in your OS

So if you want to keep everything stock and just have an unlocked bootloader feel free to stop after step 2, if you want a rooted stock follow through each of the 4 steps
[Nexus S General] thekenderman:
Great news, the bootloader is now unlocked...halfway there! I am on the Rooting step...

In clockwork recovery, the root aborts with error "E: can't open/sdcard/su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip (bad)" then says "installation aborted".
[Nexus S General] thekenderman:
Done and rooted. Yay!

How to get as big icons as this guy haves?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] knowah:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.blrfl.stealthlauncher&feature=search_result

That's the only thing I know of off hand.

And I don't know if that is HC compatible. The market says it is, but it may still cause problems. Try sending a direct message to the youtube user if you don't want to chance wasting the buck.

Desktop Visualizer - Free -Allows for custom shortcuts with adjustable size and custom pictures

ADW EX -1.99? - Allows for adjustable icon size and custom pictures but icons max size is confined to a 1x1 grid.

Yeah I just came back to mention DV. I forgot all about adding it as a widget to make icons of any size =P

[Motorola Photon 4G] twolostminds:
Are there any programs I can use to make use of the FM chip to monitor weather during this wonderful storm?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kevets:
Most weather stations broadcast waaay outside the basic FM-radio band.
[Motorola Photon 4G] twolostminds:
Good point...How about an app to let me listen to local FM stations for hurricane updates?
[Motorola Photon 4G] alnova1:
Theres an app called Scanner Radio that ha weather radio and might have your local weather.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kevets:
Scanner Radio is good, TuneInRadio is good. Both have local weather while Scanner Radio monitors mostly public frequencies such as amateur radio, public safety and disaster relief, TuneInRadio specializes in 'local' FM broadcasts from national sources with public safety available to a lesser amount.

Scanner Radio: http://goo.gl/saBuV

TuneIn: http://goo.gl/uHm70
[Motorola Photon 4G] manekineko:
I'm confused, why can't you just use the FM radio to listen to local FM stations? I mean the built-in radio in the music app?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kevets:
The deal-killer for me would be that the radio uses headphone wires as an antenna. If you just want to pop the kickstand and listen or use it as background noise you're out of luck.

I'd say in hurricane situations there are better and more appropriate methods of getting information but my posts here are simply responses to the original question.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MetsSFTF:
In the default music app you can hit menu and switch to speakers,

need the headphones plugged in, but will play the audio through the phones speakers
[Motorola Photon 4G] twolostminds:
You are absolutely right but I'm kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place at the moment. My emergency radio is dead, my backup emergency radio is a 1920's S/W set and the lantern battery it uses is probably 10 years old. I just want to be able to use my phones FM chip as a backup to the backup.
[Motorola Photon 4G] popejeremiah:
1920's? Thats hilarious. What is it a messenger pigeon?
[HTC Sensation] mps83:
I used to get about 10 hours from my battery, i've installed no new apps or anything in the past few days and all of a sudden i can't even get 6 hours out of it, this is on an Anker 1900maH battery. I wouldn't mind if i'd been using the phone heavily but it's just been sat on the table, as usual it just says that the display has been using the most power.

Any ideas why this has happened all of a sudden?
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
How were you only getting ten hours from an Anker? How much screen on time?
[HTC Sensation] DSEditorjoel:
Kill off the HTC stuff.

I've always been interested in rooting one of my phones but i'm just worried i'd end up bricking my phone, don't have much luck with these things you see haha.
[HTC Sensation] mps83:
they were right to assume it though haha
[HTC Sensation] Pinball_:
because Stock = **** battery life.
[HTC Sensation] garyo:
I don't get it, I get great battery life

I get around 2 full days on an Anker with light usage. I can easily charge every other day. I unplugged this AM at 9:00, I have 15h 37m on battery now and have 75% left. I leave wifi and 4g and gps on all the time. I did turn off the HTC stuff and replace launcher with Launcher Pro. I've rooted it, but always got great battery life since the first week.

So why do I get about the best battery life I've ever had on any Android (G1, N1, and the Sensation) while folks here get much worse?
[HTC Sensation] v-b-n:
Because u dont setup any of the htc services ... Do u have exchange or gmail on push ?

I have always got best battery by not touching the phone ... LoL ....
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
I got over 40 hours on stock...
[HTC Sensation] garyo:
Yes, I have gmail and k-9 (imap) on push. But they take hardly any battery according to SystemPanel (which is awesome btw).

[Samsung Infuse 4G] rxnelson:
I got the phone last week and notice the same thing. I also noticed it has the iPhone deathgrip issue on wifi. I can cover the back up with my hand and watch it drop a bar on wifi. Give it some breathing room and bar comes back. My biggest gripe is it sometimes doesn't want to get back on wifi if you get out of range.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] timeToy:
Ni WiFi issue here, I have Buffalo and DLink routers, I get strong and consistent signal with both. I have my router in 2.4Ghz 802.11N (no GN or BGN)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Eddie Bombay:
Ugh thank gawd I haven't noticed those issues yet, other then last week it wouldn't connect at all was just stuck on obtaining connection so I just rebooted the phone and it connected fine, from outside in the middle of the street to test it.

The wifi on the Atrix though is a beast because when I went to Chumash Casino and Resort we had to rely on wifi (it's in the hills and no network at all) and the Atrix connected 8/10 tries vs my Infuse 3/10 to the casino sh*tty free wifi... And the Atrix picked up other Wifi spots (adhoc) etc... sigh only thing that blows about the Infuse!

Would any theme creators out there be willing to do a Psychopathic Records theme for me? I would like for it to be similar to the Gears Of War Theme created by ZiggSeVO and Paul627g. I love the gears theme but would love to see something Psychopathic. I know its a long shot, not sure how many Juggalos/lettes peruse the epic forums. Help is greatly appreciated.

Transmattered red is freaking aweome. This could get lengthy. lol. Im love all the black and red of your theme. My email is toksicjuggalo@gmail.com If you would email me I have the pic I would love to have as my status bar background. I had attempted to modify the Gears theme on my own. As a noob I must have missed a step. Once I removed original gears theme and then flashed the "modified" one. It went through the boot animation and then force closed and looped the boot. The pic I have is of J and Shaggy. And it would be cool to have the a nice smooth hatchetman logo that matches the color at both ends of where the "Galaxy S" logo is at the bottom of the status bar. If you want to go all out and make a all out theme I have loads of ideas. but i do not wish to burden you. It seems like alot of work and Im so happy you replied. I just do not want to take advantage of your kindness. I will be glad to donate to you or pay you for the theme. Even if its for the public. For the boot animations I would like to have a clip from "In Yo Face" video. Its a high energy video and would stand out. Im not sure if you also do unlock screens but if you do I have ideas for that too. Just let me me know and we can go from there. Email me so we can have quicker responses.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenmuggy:
yes yes i can do all this... i will pm you my email so you can send me all the pics n stuff, ideas based off of my theme, the boot animation is gonna be the hardest but its still not too hard. & would you have a sound clip for that in yo face clip so i can make a matching boot ani. i can change the dialer backgrounds, & most of the system apps as well, & if you do wanna donate i dunno how to set it up thru paypal yet, im sure its easy, but what eva... just give me ALL... your ideas & it will only take me a couple of days topps all i need to know is what rom your running :D

I have been experiencing this very issue for almost a month now. Hard, reset, reinstalled drivers, done it all but to no avail. (wife's Evo connects with ease; Win7 sp1)

Been thinking that the usb por is broken - but I can still charge. I can adb and transfer over wi-fi. Only thing wish I could do wirelessly was qpst.

Anyway, I am happy just as long as I can charge the evo. If that changes, then I will get a repair done for $40.

Hope this really isn't the case.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Porlean:
Most likely is a busted usb port, same thing happened to one of the evo's I worked with. Charging fine but will not get discovered by any computers(tried multiple computers with multiple usb cables), but when pushing the cable into the port all my force windows recognized the phone but gave an error for "unknown device", had to actually get another usb port and repair it myself (better than paying $100), drivers definitely not the case here

Why would you pay $100?

If you pay the $8 take it to the Sprint store and they'll look at it.

The $100 is for physical/water damage or lost/stolen phone.

I had an epic then a nexus and now this and I love it battery life is amazing, radios are fast and powerful and screen is bright and crisp, plus the storage on this phone is crazy I have so many apps on this thing even all running and never have memory issues, love it get one don't bother waiting for the gs2 with the lower Res screen and worse camera and less storage. Take it from some one who knows samsungs, att the end off the day I guarantee it be like all other samsungs, glitchy, slow with software problems, and GPS issues and other radio issues all of their cdma phones have them. Get a photon cause once the bootloader gets unlocked and the gsm radios hacked this phone will be un stoppable. Oh yeah graphic capabilities are awesome btw.
[Motorola Photon 4G] pukemon:
If its anything like the atrix I highly recommend it. If it gets an unlocked bootloader. If you can't void your warranty on it, its just your average android phone.

Best phone sprint has out right now. Once we get an unlocked bootloader with 4g, this thing will be Beast
[Motorola Photon 4G] pukemon:
If the bootloader is unlocked then I would jump on it. It just came out so there is/will be a lot of effort put into developing for it. Plus it will probably at least get an ics update. That's not guaranteed, but it does help that Moto was just bought by google.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ttmm918:
i think it's sprint's best smartphone at the moment. at least til the epic touch 4g comes out sept 9.

for me signal strength and call quality are big factors. i've compared it to my friends' evo 3d and the evo 4g. in low signal strength areas - it routinely has more bars of signal strength than those phones. i've run speedtest's compared to those two phones as well. both evo's are peakier while the photon takes the steady and solid approach.

2200-2500 quadrant scores too with the photon. now if the epic touch 4g has great signal reception AND it's the more powerful phone (definitely) -- then i'll be the first to switch.
