Just flashed to newest version of eclipse. And my social status widget is always saying checking status updates.. and want to know how to save my battery on this rom?
[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
I'm going to go back to .5 and try to find the camera and put it back in. I'm getting horrible battery and FC on the social network thing
[Motorola Droid X2] pieman13:
I could watch my battery drain on .6 and everything FC'ed. Think I am sticking with Atrix as that has performed much better.
[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
i just installed navs final version of the scripts to .5 and removed some things and added .6's camera and ran quadrant and got 2200 which is better than normal and 3600 on smart bench. also im not draining 13% battery per hour like .6 was
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Edits need to be made with scripts. Flash navens fix on eclipse 6.

There is a fix for accounts problems(should fix social widget) ....very soon

Check his twitter ...u do not need an account there to see his page...only.need account to tweet back
[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
oh well i just spent the last 15 or so minutes merging navens and road runner scripts into one and fixing the cpu freqs and making it so that what ever you pick in v6 sticks
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
If u want u can save copies to a folder and after flashing new one when its here u can push em back in and fix permission ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
its not that its that all 3 of those scripts do alot of the same thing. i gave priority to supercharger since it lets you edit the stuff then merged the rest. i fixed the min cpu freq and a few other things and took out the reniceing script since i dont think things should be reniced that low. also i dont know about this deepsleep script and battery life. wouldnt this while 1 loop keep it from sleeping? either way when i work it out i can make a zip of them
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Ha ha...here I am giving suggestions and u said some things I couldn't understand HA.

I have no clue what renice does...I don't have that script tho...if I had it I would have research it first...I only have navens scripts...and I know how to edit them ...and also remove if I ever run v6 again(which I will)

Wish I had an explanation on remixes....renices ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
reniceing is when you take the current nice value and change it. pretty much the lower the nice value the higher priority it is for time slicing. -20 is the "highest" and i think its way too high. i havent fooled around with phones but if you did something like that on a computer, all hell would mostlikely break loose. also ive notices the deep sleep throttles the 2nd core pretty hard.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
All I can say about battery is I got best after I stopped gmail from.sync unless I made it sync. Also only sync priority inbox.

And changed those values in cpufreq....I got 11hrs of heavy usage...not serious heavy usage but heavy...every hour I was on internet at LEAST. Played couple games...checked gmail...(I did kill data and wiring on screen off tho) texts and calls every few hours...on wifi 75% of time.

That was before stopping gmail from constant sync....tomorrow should be better
[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
i just posted in the road runner thread since its where this belongs. check it out if you want my minor updates
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Awww...hijacks are fun ;) ill check ir out...thanks

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redberkey:
I am currently rooted on 2.2. What is or is there any benefit to now taking the OTA to 2.3.3 and then reverting and rooting? If i did revert would i ultimately be ending up with the same 2.2 system? Thanks, seems like a simple question but don't want to do duplicate work. i couldn't find a clear answer in other posts.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strapped365:
I just did my dudes shift and if you unroot take the ota then downgrade to root, your gonna end with the same thing you started with=a rooted evo shift, it dosent matter what version they were rooted on, its still rooted and you will gain nothing by updating to downgrade, you can already flash a GB Rom with a new radio.

[LG Optimus 2x] tankwokhwee:
Is it possible to make a rom/patch to have beats-audio in our device???
[LG Optimus 2x] doccocaubai:
I think we have to wait HTC sensation XE release. And then we can port the beat audio.:D
[LG Optimus 2x] smokeweedevery:
no i dont thing so. but we have voodoo sound on the way and im pretty sure that voodoo is better than beats;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Imperticus:
I reckon beats would be closed source, but it would only be as good as the hardware.
[LG Optimus 2x] sacredsoul:
Forgive me if I'm mistake but isn't beats audio an internal hardware component?
[LG Optimus 2x] smokeweedevery:
it's both software and hardware
[LG Optimus 2x] xxdoggyxx:
Hmm.. some fact: beats (most model) support music file up to 24bit. where most(all) cds were recorded in 16bits to save space..

You get a beats, with no music at 24bits, the quality is de same as a standard earpiece(those branded ones obviously)

Conclusion: u dun need a beats for mobile. We wouldn't get 24bits audio on de net.

most common question: why dj use beats?

Answer: cause, when they do dupstep/mixing, they are recording de sound at 24bits...

cheers:)
[EVO 4G General] auau465121:
We just got our hands of a copy of the latest Sprint Playbook, and while we were hoping for some more info about the LG Marquee and Kyocera Milano, what we found was a bit, well, different. It seems that in order to stay competitive with Verizon and AT&T (Sprint's words, not ours), some changes are going to be made to several of the perks everyone on Sprint takes for granted.

For starters, the Sprint Premier program is coming to an end. Current members will be hearing from Sprint sometime after Sept. 16 with all the details, but the short version is starting at the beginning of this month, enrollment in the program stopped, and you'll have to use your current (and final) Premier upgrade on or before Dec. 31, 2012. In addition, the other smaller but just as appreciated perks like accessory discounts and annual anniversary gifts end Dec. 31, 2011. Employees have been instructed how to let everyone down easy, but this will sting no matter how you slice it.

Next up, is a major change to Sprint's 30-day=satisfaction guarantee -- it's getting cut by 16 days. Like we've seen other carriers do, Sprint will now be switching to a 14-day return policy. They will still return everything but the restocking fee, you just have a couple weeks less to make up your mind.

Finally, starting Oct. 2, the "New For You" upgrade time is changing from 22 months, down to 20. Cutting the time down by two months is nice, but will hardly take the sting of losing the yearly Premier benefit away.

Nothing good can last forever folks, and as Sprint reminds us, they have to do something to stay competitive. In the end, it's a business and sometimes you have to rob from Peter to pay Paul. We have some relevant pages of the Playbook after the break.

[EVO 4G General] Crossrocker:
So now everyone gets an upgrade every 20 months?

Deck's + SZ + SuperCharger script + ViperMod script.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Yeaaaah I've been big on Sprint and with this I'm going to start looking around.

Extremely disappointed.

You don't "stay competitive" by cutting benefits that others don't offer
[EVO 4G General] m20120:
That is just sad... hate the way they keep cutting down (and now killing) Premiere.
[EVO 4G General] rushco:
Looks to be that way. Hopefully it goes into effect right away so I only have to wait till May 1 now to upgrade.
[EVO 4G General] eaguil16:
I'm going to wait and see what the iPhone and nexus prime have to offer. What else are they going to take from us?
[EVO 4G General] austin420:
Besided unlimited data and cheap prices, what else do they have to take away?
[EVO 4G General] illb456:
I wasn't Gold anyway, but this still sucks. I hope it isn't due to this iPhone fiasco. But as said, it is a business...
[EVO 4G General] tim.tahtinen:
I find this absolutely hilarious.

One week ago, I was told by an Executive Services rep that the changes to Sprint Premier were to give more benefit to their long-term (10+ year) customers, when, actually, they had already started phasing out the benefits for them. (Enrollment into Sprint Premier closed September 1st.) She was even trying to get me to change to a higher rate-plan to get the benefits of Sprint Premier!

So much for customer loyalty. Sprint's a single feather (unlimited data) away from being the same as the rest of the flock. Who really thinks now that it's not going to get plucked? ($10 says they start throttling speeds.)
[EVO 4G General] AA27:
That is the excuse, the real deal is by offering more benefits you also loosing more profit and is not business savvy. They are becoming cheaper like the competitors. Now imagine that with only a few carriers and we gonna have the beautiful monopoly that is being announced and is going to hit us more sooner that we think of.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I know it is and I despise when companies do that ****, so I will gladly call them out on it.
[EVO 4G General] KB112:
Yeah, this blows. I am upgrade eligible 10/01/11, guess I'll grab the 3D.
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
While this blows I don't think ill be leaving can't go to tmobile if they are to merge w ATT and I hate VZW also I only have a part upgrade available anyways so the 20 months is kinda good for me lol it will be sooner and hopefully by then something that I really want will be out
[EVO 4G General] Papa Smurf151:
Sorry ill believe it when I see sprint say it. Been with them for 13 years and hear say and "leaked" documents get out all the time. Most of which is not true. We shall see in the end I guess.

free the dirk
[EVO 4G General] ItsLasher:
Things change and after 10 years what do you expect? I can't wait to see all the BS empty threats of "I'm switching carriers cause of this!!" and all the petitions and suing that will come about because people can't deal with change or get their way.

They still have the better prices the most Android phone and the better selection PLUS unlimited data still. So jump ship if you like or have the balls to BUT don't come back *****ing about the higher prices and tiered plans.
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
Lol agreed and will be interesting to see all the threats and what not.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I can see people changing over this.

Sprint is slowly but surely eliminating what makes them the better choice.

Also, with the change of the yearly upgrades for all and then this change shortly after, that will leave a bad taste in some people's mouth.

Which will likely lead to people switching.

Sprint has a bad enough imagine as it is, they don't need to add this to their rep sheet.
[EVO 4G General] tim.tahtinen:
I see this brought up so many times when a carrier makes a change. "They still have A, B, and C; they're still better than X, Y, and Z!"

Better prices, only if you can't get a better discount elsewhere. Better selection is purely subjective. The only thing they have going for them is unlimited data and WiMax, and if you don't live in a WiMax area, that's practically useless.

Also, if you think that unlimited data is going to stay, then more power to you. I, for one, see the writing on the wall. They'll go to throttled data speeds like T-Mobile, or they'll start capping. It makes the most business sense, especially given how much they care about customer loyalty at this point.
[EVO 4G General] SoaringSpoon:
Cancel Service

Hello all

I was wondering, now that they are making these changes does that mean we have a window to cancel our contracts with no etf? If so how long does that window stay open? I was looking to pick up the bionic for the LTE and I am willing to gamble that unlimited data is not going to last so there is nothing keeping me with sprint and it would be nice to skip the 70 etf lol
[EVO 4G General] Crossrocker:
I think so..

I know the premier thing is not on contract but everything else is right?

Deck's + SZ + SuperCharger script + ViperMod script.
[EVO 4G General] nickelghandi:
If Sprint wants to "stay competitive" they should add more benefits. They don't have to be big expensive ones, just ones they can make a big deal out of. Upgrading every year was nice. I didn't use the accessory discount though because Amazon always had better deals on the same equipment so that doesn't bother me much. I like them knocking off two months but it's only two months lol. If this keeps up, I am going to say goodbye to Sprint and hello to someone else that believes in customer satisfaction.
[EVO 4G General] fenixjn:
Well same as the premier little dissaster a few months ago... no, these changes are not within the contract thus it wont allow you to get out ETF-free. The reasoning for this comes from the fact that those benefits are perks for being a Sprint customer (yes I know soon we'll have the people with the 'but thats the reason I switched to sprint', 'switch and bait' and so on. Please disregard those comments). It sucks and I agree: they only have the unlimited data as their main perk IF this document is true
[EVO 4G General] rkn2903:
@ Tim,I'm betting with you...
[EVO 4G General] egzthunder1:
Staying competitive is industry jargon for "cutting down costs". It has nothing to do with competitive as in a free market competition.
[EVO 4G General] KB112:
The unlimited data will stick around for at least a year I'm sure. I only say that, because that will be their big enticement, to bring in the iphone users. Then they can modify their data plans.

I bet they will follow the same model as their premium data fee eventually. Where, if/when you upgrade you must change plans or data package. If you don't change your device or upgrade, you can remain unlimited. But when you change, so must your plan.

Just thought I would give everybody a heads up that as of Friday, 09/16/2011, Sprint is switching to a 14-day return policy. I have a feeling a lot of Sales Reps will be uneducated about this.

P.S. Don't kill the messenger :P

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] plmiller0905:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
that likely has a little to do with it....but....

(lifted from the thread linked above)

I've said it before and I'll say it again: It's about damn time.

Am I happy about this? Not at all. But this was going to happen eventually. Sprint is bleeding money without compare. As long as they continue to offer decent coverage, great prices and fantastic customer service I'm all for it. They need to stay competitive. Not to us, they are already very competitive to us...they need to stay competitive to investors or risk a takeover most likely coming from Verizon.

***** and complain all you want, where you gunna go? T-Mobile? Unlikely. That whole law-suit from the DOJ is nothing but a dog-n-pony show.

Sprint has to offer unlimited service, the same fantastic rates, unparalleled customer service while at the same time improving it's network infrastructure all around in order to stand a chance...they know it and it's about time they started acting like it.

....with a strategic partnership with Google they could change the entire game by ditching the voice-n-text strategy and being the first to embrace the "everything is data" paradigm. It's coming. "voice service" all by itself is so, well, last century. We all know it's already digital, why convert back twice and charge us for something we can now do on our own?

...that's just my take...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wilforknowledge:
Honestly, as long as they keep unlimited data without throttling, I am okay.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteZero:
Inspired... and I hope you're right! There seems to be no point in sticking with the current voice service with it's inferior quality when we can easily switch to all VoIP.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ac16313:
That would make sense considering sprints stance on unlimited data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] viper786:
Sorry to go off topic, but i kept seeing people mention your signature, but since i was on the XDA app on my phone, I couldn't see it. You have been thanked for that signature... wow!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anubis13:
So I got my Epic 4G Touch Tuesday. Does that mean I have a 30 day return or is it device specific.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] latinmaxima:
Agreed. This is Sprint stepping up to protect is business. They are better in so many levels that this shouldn't be an issue unless you don't know what you want and go through two or three phones your first month.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] n2ishun:
I guess the OP didn't notice that the 30 day return policy is LAW, not whim.

They can make corporate policy all they want.....but they are still bound by LAW.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
Not to rain on your post, but Sprints customer service lately has been awful, and that's not exaggerating.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
I haven't noticed that. I still manage to have to interact with them far more than the average user (as the XDA types seem to). A few times in the past month and I can't even say that I noticed anything.

Sure, when I called to cancel a line ETF free I got one lady who gave me a minor hassle, but, I called back and got a guy who was friendly and helpful.

That's the worst 30 seconds (and only 'bad' I have dealt with, by far) of dealing with Sprint's customer service I have had in the past 6 years of service...and it wasn't even that bad bordering on understandable.

As usual YMMV.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wilforknowledge:
Laws vary by state, and most are nullified if the seller has their own policy posted in the store in a conspicuous location.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JBNAquatics:
Just talked to a Sprint store manager (Southern California) and she has not heard any mention of the changes so hopefully tomorrow when I open a new account I'll hold her accountable for it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wilforknowledge:
I've educated a few managers on the subject myself. I think Sprint is trying to sneak this one in.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thekarens:
Hate to tell you it isn't law. Verizon and AT&T have 14 day return policy. As far as I know it's always been that way.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JasonK75:
Exactly, the only state that we have to stick with 30 day is Minnesota.

Then my peer there is dumb, it is all over the Playbook and all the AMs are telling their managers and staff about it. It is huge news. Perhaps they just had Wednesday off (like I did) and didn't get a chance to read the Playbook quite yet. I know the only reason I found out about it ahead of time was from tweets last night about the subject.

No, trust me, they are not. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mainstang:
If we get this from best buy that has a 30 day return policy, does the sprint policy of 14 days trump it. Or is the 14 day policy for sprint stores. Like if I return the et4g to best buy at 28 days will I still be able to upgrade again or will sprint say "no new upgrade" you are past 14 days.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nkd:
best buy already does this with verizon and att, you are locked in to contract after 14 days, but you have thirty days to exchange the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tubasteve:
My sprint store sold these on wednesday....I havea 30 day policy still...awesome district manager!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ©ertifiedMuffDiver™:
I thought the 30 day return policy for all business was a federally backed necessity? I thought all business was supposed to allow this for fair business selling and trade. I thought this was an agreement and enforcement by the FTC and its purpose was so that companies cannot take advantage over customers rights by basically forcing customers into buying faulty goods or services.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mainstang:
I guess what Im saying is.... If I purchase from best buy and return it to best buy in 28 days, will sprint bring back my upgrade or will I only be returning phone with no chance of upgrading again. Or is best buy goint to give me same amount towards another phone and not have to contact sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ecliptical:
Anyone else order the phone from sprint.com and get a letter saying they have 30 days to return it??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kkwus74:
Mine says 30 days too
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] plmiller0905:
When I got a ns4g about a week ago from bestbuy, the contract stated that the etf is $200.

But when I went up there yesterday to exchange it for a Epic Touch, I asked them if their etf and returned policy changed. The Rep confirmed that the etf was still $200 and that I had 30 days to exchange or return the phone to BB if I so choose.

But what I'm wondering is if BB $200 etf is an additional etf fee on top of sprints $350 etf....like how it is with letstalk and wirefly.

But all I know is that my contract states that my etf is specially $200. And I would fight this with them if they tried to charge me $350 etf.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] expertzero1:
I got my contract in the mail saying 14 and 350 etf
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ecliptical:
Amazing how people are getting different things. Hopefully someone on these boards got the same letter I did which stated 30 days, please PM me if you got it!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Blu3Fr0g:
In California the law is 30 days. Not only does it seem to effect the return policy but also the over the counter warranty policy for the device as well. I dropped my phone last week and it started doing this thing where it would act like a ghost was using the phone. Typing out text messages and sending them and making random phone calls. So I took it in to the repair store and they brought the tech out and he told the guy to swap it using the 30 day policy and the rep said 'its 15 days now' and I was like '30 days in california' and they were like 'not for this.' I then said I had TEP and the Tech is like, yeah for a refurbished phone. I didn't argue because I knew if they couldnt resolve the issue I would get a new phone because if they don't have a refurb they have to give me a new one. Anyway, they replaced the case on the phone and its got some serious dings on it but hasn't had the screen issue and it also doesnt seem to suffer from the flakiness when it is plugged in like it used to. Dunno. Anyway, I will probably take it tomorrow and see if I can get them to swap it out for a new one since the case was all scratched up at the bottom two corners.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hckyplyr:
