[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rigum:
Ok so, Semi new to the rooting, romming, ciustomizing my epic game. MY epic has only been rooted and romed for just over a month and half. Currently Im running ERA Revolted with Drockstar Clean kernel ec05, Nebula roms boot up animation, regina launcher, and CWM 3.1 purple. I have a couple of questions. 1 trying to add sound to the nebula boot up, tired through es explorer and sound changer to no success. 2. I find that there are several things in each rom ive tried that I would like to tweak like currently the notification bar in ERA's revolted. Any pimp expert advice out there? would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ugothakd:
What do you want to do with the notification bar? And for the power on sound I think theres a file in /etc/ named "PowerOn.wav". You should be able to change that
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rigum:
noobness

Well with the pulldown bar im looking rather agressivly for something that is space themed. I have this whole space thing gong on. As for the sound I have gone and tried that with es file explorer in writable mode cutting the track I want then posting it in that very same folder while renaming it and deleating the existing powerOn.wav that has never worked anyways LOL . Should I try another Rom as my base? and thanks for the reply.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ugothakd:
Just to be sure, the track you trimming and renaming is a wav file, right? Its not just a renamed mp3 or whatever? And if you know how to decompile an apk... you should just be able to edit the png's in the file. You can search for a guide (or if your really lazy) find a kitchen to do it for you.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rigum:
Awesoem man thanks alot. I am a douche LOL ive been renaming an mp3. kind of going of of the example left in my folders from the sound changer app. Thanks for the tips deffinatly appreciatie it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ugothakd:
lol...yeah I think you need to convert it first. Its like putting a square block in a round hole...yes there both shapes but there still very different.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rigum:
Lawlz, fo sho.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
Notification bar icons are found inside framework-res.apk and the pulldown menu is twframework-res.apk.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jgve:
I bought an unlocked T-Mobile HTC HD2 and flashed to android. My MMS and t-zones is not working and I can't set it up. I tried going to settings-wireless & networks-mobile networks and go into Access Point Names but there is no option to add anything! It is just a black screen with APNs on the top left corner. What is wrong with my phone??? Please help I have searched everywhere and can not figure out what's wrong. Before I flashed to Android, I was able to use MMS and t-zones without setting it up and now it is gone with android! It is a new phone and I haven't even used it other than testing it before I flashed it when I got it yesterday.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] montecarlo5:
when you were at the apn screen, did you hit the menu button and see the options to add new apn or rest to default? youll need to hit thenew apn button to add a new apn.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jgve:
I found it!!! I thought the menu option would be on the screen and that's what I was looking for. I didn't know the middle button on the phone is for the menu. Thanks so much!!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] overhauling:
As we go around rooting and experimenting with our phones, sooner or later we'll experience a freeze, and be forced to take out the battery to pursue.

I have not seen this posted anywhere within the MyTouch 4G Slide forum, so just to inform you guys that in case you experience a freeze, in order to Force Restart you could simply press

POWER + VOLUME DOWN + TRACKPAD for about 5 seconds. Your phone will then be revived without the necessity of removing your battery. :D

EDIT: Might not work with the newest devices.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] overhauling:
Bump. Maybe this can help somebody.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] rawdaddymagraden:
That's great I have been here a while and never figured that out would have saved me probably a total of 12 hours of my life spent on battery pulls lol
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] overhauling:
Haha! that was my case. Until I started playing with the buttons and figured the combination out. It's super useful so I thought I should share. :D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yellowjacket1981:
I wish I had known this earlier, I have used it at least 5 times since you posted this. Thanks.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] overhauling:
I've used it hundreds of times. I wonder why HTC doesn't tell us these sort of button patterns and tips? they're kinda like an Easter egg, lol!

Unless it's stated somewhere in the manual, I wouldn't know but I doubt it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ravi_n:
I've gotten a new MT4GS (to replace the one where the keyboard and all the buttons died) and this combo doesn't work for me now. I'm running roughly the same ROM (one of the CM9 alphas), but the difference is that this one came with the latest OTA and is S-ON unlocked with the newer radio and HBoot while the old one was S-OFF (via Revolutionary). Could that make a difference somehow? Are there other ways it might not work (I've even tried when my phone isn't frozen and nothing)?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] overhauling:
I'm not aware of any other ways, I've had my MT4GS since the week it came out, so it's loaded with the first Radio & HBoot (S-OFF Revolutionary) and I still use this method frequently - it even works when the screen isn't frozen. I'm not sure if the new devices prevent this method from working, are you still able to access your bootloader by powering on your device and holding the volume down key? If not, then it could be a defective button (I doubt it, hopefully not) or the new HBoot prevents these actions from triggering anything.

If anybody else who's reading this has a newer S-ON device with the newer Radio and HBoot, can you please test this quick-restart method for me?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] eparico:
Just upgraded to a 4GS a little more than a month ago and attempted this a few times. With the phone turned on, all I succeeded in doing was taking a few screenshots (CM9 Alpha 5, S-ON). Booted into recovery and attempted it again and all it did was return me to the CWM recovery options. Learned something new here though, I thought pressing the power button while in CWM froze the phone up but all you have to do is press the power button again and you return to the options...lol.

Not sure if there's a way to purposely cause the phone to freeze up but if you have any ideas on how to do this without jacking my phone, I'll give it a try.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] overhauling:
In that case I believe this method doesn't work with the newest HBOOT Devices. Thanks, I will update the OP. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mojorisin7178:
So you may have read in my last thread that I was haveing problems with eaglesblood its ashamed too because it really is a kick ass ROM but i think it needs some work. No matter what I do I keep loosing my data conection. I just Installed Bionex and it runs great and it had no problem connecting to the network but it doesnt have the cool tweeks that EB has. I think I am going to try cm7 though. The things I really want are first the power controls in the notification bar that was kick ass nex profiles I liked that the ability to customize the lockscreen that was cool too.

I would like to know if it is just me or if others are having this problem too. There has got to be something I am doing wrong I doubt they put out a ROM that has that many problems and All I hear is good thyings about EB so it has to be me. Please someone help me fix this because I am tired of dam stock GB Help Help Help!!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rvdangel630:
it happens to me too, i just power phone off and on it comes back.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mojorisin7178:
yeah it only happens the first time I power off or reboot after install the rom I see there is a new thread today about data not working on ROMS based on 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 but it works fine on 2.3.3 what I did was a hard reboot and it started working again.

[General Topics] eman3316@optonline.net:
Now that it is official I am not sure if it is the device that is getting me excited or all the hype around it. I really like the idea of the larger screen and super thin body. Wish it was qhd though. I guess with every good thing comes a bad thing......

Thinking the only way to get it without spending money is to add a line, cancel my 3D's line and sell the 3D on Craigs list. That should cover the both costs.......Anyone know what Sprint's max cancelation charge is?

Like I said, just thinking about it now and would like to hear what others are planning on doing. Hopefully this doesn't turn into a flame war......Just looking to see if people jumping ship have a better way to get there then what I was thinking of doing......

The SGS II will only be a good phone because of the Dev support. Samsung has a hard time updating the software for some reason. Gingerbread hasn't even been rolled out to the original Epic for god's sake.
[General Topics] eman3316@optonline.net:
Hopefully if we don't get trolls and people give there honest opinions this thread can stay open because I really want to see what people have to say and what they will be doing now that the device is official.

I have been with HTC for the past 5 years but if something better comes along I am not afraid to go....

Obviously no one has played with it yet but I want to know people's thoughts just based on the announcement and if they are regretting the 3D purchase....

[General Topics] RushAOZ:
The epics an exception. They can't seem to get the keyboard and radio figured out. This is the reason all sgs2s will be the sane and not have a keyboard lol. You also have to remember that update fiasco had more to do with carriers than Samsung themselves. The sgs had their updates right on time. ;) I'm also curious about the op question. I've always wondered what would happen to your handset if cancelled within the first 6 months.
[General Topics] RushAOZ:
MOD EDIT: Goodbye
[General Topics] jgalan14:
Well i guess it depends on you, I like a thinner device and i know it will have a better camera but I hatethe cheap feel of Samsung devices and.the updates , gingerbread is over nine months old and nothing official for the epic, so what would make me think they will get it on time on the second.device, same thing goes with the photon MOTO devices rake forever to update, that's why I stick with the EVO 3d but all 3 phones are great phones :P

MGS on my iPad :P
[General Topics] xHausx:
Well, google didn't have much luck with the nexus s at first either ;) Hence their nickname the Nexus B lol

I won't lie the, gs2 is a beast of a phone. I also think the E3D has been underutilized so far though, this phone has a lot more potential than it gets credit for. Plus the Evo was updated to gingerbread around the same time the epic was getting froyo, it would have came before but HTC waited for gingerbreak to be patched before pushing the update.
[General Topics] daneurysm:
I hate to admit it as I have been a die-hard HTC fan, but, as far as my experience is concerned (on 3rd E3D) I think they really botched this flagship. YMMV, of course.

So long as the SGS2 has a radio that is as good (read: no weaker than) the E3D I'll be happy. The Radio on the NS4G was pitifully weak, the E3D is no better...even after a few. I can live with this. The signal strength indicator can't be trusted on it's own, go by actual measurements and most importantly missed/dropped calls and roaming....and I miss and drop and roam more than ever. It sucks. I do love this phone. I will greatly miss the qHD.

I became fine with the uber-weak radio, but, the final straw is the increasingly bad power-on fiasco. Sometimes it does, some times it doesn't. Some times it will be plugged in with a green light locked up tight (requiring a battery pull and SD card pull) *AND* have a dead battery on top of it. It's at the point where I have a backup alarm set up. Yeah yeah yeah, if I need an alarm clock USE an alarm clock...well, no other phone ever gave me any issues, so, I'm going to say that it is not unreasonable to expect my phone to A> turn on and B> charge while plugged into the charger.

I've tried hard, I do love this phone...even the horrid form factor has really grown on me. But I barely use the 3D enough to really miss... I may keep the E3D, it is a rather unique phone, but, SGS2 here I come....Also, aside from touchwiz (which is easily disgarded) it is a nearly stock Android experience....and Samsung has Cyanogen on their payroll. That can't be bad.

I will miss you guys, I'll be back to visit though. It has been fun.
[General Topics] pukemon:
Honestly, I think its more insecure when somebody has a decent phone and has to make a thread asking for their peers/competitions approval to get the other phone. Btw, I have a nokia 1100. Do you think I should upgrade to the nokia 6630?

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[General Topics] ronnienyc:
The reason the new phone does not appeal to me that much is because it is WIDE -even wider than the Evo 4G. And taller too.
[General Topics] daneurysm:
I see it more like asking the opinions of people you consider knowledgeable on the subject. You'd be a fool to not ask people who are very familiar with something when considering whether to buy it or not....especially when it's such a relatively pricey gadget. Take it as a compliment that someone (may) respect your opinion enough on the subject to take your advice to heart.

We are a community here. I doubt any of us actually give a crap of another approves of one another in a social context, especially when starting a thread like this (so long as it isn't obviously trollbait).
[General Topics] firmbiz94:
For the life of me i don't know why you won't take this into the correct forum...at this point you are trolling and trying to cause a flame war..go back to the Samsung website and dry hump a pic of the gs2 ..i mean its specs are unprecedented..a 1.2 ghz dual core...whoaa.. a gig of RAM? Holy moly...a wvga screen..omfg... This thing ****s on everything...there is nothing else like it..I bet it will load up webpages a third of a.second faster than the e3d and that is very important..mods pls get rid of this rush guy..he's been causing trouble for hours and its getting on everyones nerves

[General Topics] daneurysm:
Well, it's happened again. This thread had a great run of not being a pissing match of specs and a "TAKE IT TO SGS2 FORUM" types...all said it was still a very useful thread to me and helped me to decide that I should have not even suffered through a 3rd E3D but I'm lucky that I did since that puts me that much closer to the SGS2. Finding out that the NS4G radio is in the SGS2 was the tipping point...

I will miss you HTC...I hope I'll be back.

Speaking of taking it to the SGSII forum, can we get a dedicated Samsung Epic 4G Touch forum now? :D
[General Topics] boe:
My hope is that it let's you complete far more phone calls than my EVO 3D does and hopefully people won't complain about the call quality either.
[General Topics] daneurysm:
+1 This

I don't want it lumped in with all the other SGS2s, things get awkward when you have GSM and CDMA phones hanging out too close to each other, among other differences.
[General Topics] devgrp:
This happens with every new phone that's about to come out. No phone is perfect and without flaws. I expect To see complaints about the sgii a week or two later after launch and a lot more when a newer better phone is about to come out. It's just people trying to justify why they need to jump ship. When the evo 3d was coming out some some these same people talking bad about it were the same ones praising it so I don't expect anything different.

I love my evo 3d. The sgii looks like a great phone but I love htc ui and so far the phone has performed outstanding. I get great battery life, the screen is sweet and it does everything I want it to. Now it's not without it's flaws but I can happily saw that the good outways the bad.
[General Topics] daneurysm:
I agree 110%... Unfortunately one of those unavoidable flaws is of a critical nature for me.
[General Topics] bagelicious:
I haven't been able to keep up with the latest news, but I was wondering if this is legit? If so, best of luck, I had my NS4G for 3 weeks before buying the EVO 3D. The Epic had better radios than the NS4G, which is saying a lot. On the NS4G I'd get voicemail alerts without having missed calls in downtown Raleigh where every other phone I've had gets at average to great reception. The Wifi on the NS4G constantly showed 1 bar of service even if I was 12 feet from the router. Samsung hasn't proven to me that they know how to make a decent phone. Sure they have a pretty screen and camera but everything else they put out sucks.
[General Topics] swaze:
That sucks big time. Having heard that the 3d feature is working on cm7 for the evo 3d has pretty much made the sgs2 irrevelent to me now, but good luck to those who are getting it.
[General Topics] daneurysm:
My ns4g signal meters was depressing to look at but I missed less calls than with my e3d, roamed less too. Plus they issued an update that supposedly fixed all of that... Id imagine that they used that same fix for the sgs2. Time will tell. It

Can't possibly be worse than this e3d is, the NS4G wasn't.

... And if it is? Goodbye sprint. I'll give tmob a shot. No good? Guess I gotta pay for verizon.

I can live with the camera locking the phone, I can live with the random resets, I can live with the low speaker volume, I can live with the battery life but most phones don't have the phone sucking in their list of defects when they first come out.
[General Topics] eman3316@optonline.net:
That is not a phone, that is more of a hybrid of a phone and tablet.

Anyway, do you not think everyday a new phone is released there is not a better phone to be released within a few months after that. We get that buddy and that is not what this thread is about.

The thread is for Evo 3D owners who are thinking of moving the SGS2. We don't need to know every future phone that will be coming one day. You can start another thread for that.

I also like people that bring up the argument and say what are you going to jump to another phone everything something new comes out. Um yeah, if I can afford it. Don't know why that is anyone else's concern. Besides I usually make money every time I upgrade by selling my current phone. I should walk away with $100 after purchasing and SGS2 and selling my 3D so don't see why it bothers people if I change phones often.
[General Topics] Success100:
Yeah specs are almost identical..but in the grand scheme of things, it don't matter if the s2 puts the power to the pavement better than the 3d. Don't get me wrong I think after all the tweaks and mods the 3d is a great device (minus the phone part). But the s2 spanks it in benchmarks. Strip the 3d down of sense and it may beat the s2 in benchmarks, but doesn't come close in real world usage. I'm going to find the link where the epic touch 4g had 5 YouTube videos imbedded in the web page, and still panned and scrolled with super fluid pinch to zoom and didn't hiccup one time. That won't happen on the 3d. Also, don't forget that the 3d can have HW acceleration enabled. In my opinion, there's no comparison when it comes to performance. 3d is great for a lot, but in my book the s2 blows the 3d completely away.

[General Topics] xPSYCHOTRONx:
I have been really happy with my E3D. The signal issues for me are due to my location because everywhere else i travel like now in Utah the signal is 5 solid bars and the data is alot better even indoors.

Other than a random reboot every now and then (which only happened after last update) the only gripe i have vs the SGS2 is the hardware acceleration. Will icecream sandwich give us this? Will it have to come from an HTC update or from a custom kernel/Rom?

I don't know if I got a good handset but my ns4g is amazing. Way better than my evo4g. I haven't had any issues with mine. I get great 4g in my house where with the evo it was spotty and would drop. I can have 0 bars of signal (and not be roaming) and still place and receive calls.
[General Topics] daneurysm:
You get it after the major radio update a few weeks back?
[General Topics] kawaski47:
Now I may be wrong but didn't the reports say that the e4gt had just the same WIMAX chip as the ns4g? The 3g/radio chip is a seperate chip. They didn't mention the 3g chip in the e4gt.
[General Topics] p-slim:
I didn't notice any worse or better signal after the update. I also came from an evo4g. I did have my Nexus before the radio update. Sometimes it shows no bars but it's still transmitting data

To be honest since the update I haven't really noticed any major differences in actual signal and data. I did notice a huge difference in the call volume. Its alot louder since update. I would have never switched to the nexus if it wasn't forced by sprint but I've come to actually love this phone more than my evo 4g

I've read its actually a 2500mah battery. That would make more sense
[General Topics] codyisnottanner:
that would make more sense. and plus i was wondering why they couldnt fit a bigger battery in the back (like a 2500mah) considering how much real estate they have with that big of a phone.

[General Topics] felacio:
the one with the 5.3 inch screen and the 2500mah battery ISN'T the Epic Touch 4G. it's one that Samsung JUST announced called Galaxy Note (I think that is what it's called right now.)

it's from a link that was posted on the last page.
