[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Thats cuz no one has anything productive to say about the epic right now.

When gb gets out, therell be a lot more on topic threads. The epic touch is the next step in the epic (officially, atleast. Personally, its a whole different product line.) So its natural for users to wanna discuss it.

But I do feel like there's a lot of duplicate threads regarding the epic touch reviews and such.

I just want gb so that we can finally focus on just our phone since it won't be in a state of upgrade limbo anymore (considering we are defnitely not getting anything above gb so when it comes out, it can finally be optimized by the devs and they won't be wasting their time.)
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
I got one and it bothers me a bit too. There's plenty of things Epic to discuss as well
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
I have actually enjoyed them, after all, it beats threads full of *****ing about the wait for GB anyday, at least IMO. and its given me something to read while I wait for the next GB leak to drop
[Epic 4G General] worldwidepmp:
I enjoyed them before the SGS2ET4G Section was created.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
This is very true. Complaining about getting official GB isn't going to help us get it any faster
[Epic 4G General] the_scotsman:
No need to waste even more forum space with a thread about threads about Epic Touch.

If you see any in the wrong forum, report them. Personally, I can't really see too many.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] viper786:
With my Epic, i'd always get 2 out of 3 bars for wifi in my room.. i'm only getting 1 bar for wifi in my room
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] viper786:
Hmm, I guess i'm the only one
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stupendusd:
have you noticed difference in speed between the two?

I'm on the fence right now as to whether to go trade the MoPho in for a Sammy. Last Sammy I had was the Moment, so you can understand the hesitation...lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greengoldmello:
yeah i did notice the fact that my bars are lower than usual
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
it's on par with my previous E3D's and NS4G, not like that's any compliment.

This thing is killer at locking onto even a weak 3G signal though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmbatson:
I noticed it too, I usually have 3 bars wifi with my old epic 4g but now on 2 to 1 bar?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jbroad572:
I am as well... I had to go right beside my router to even connect.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
I wonder if there is a battery-chugging mode like on the E3D...I'm not sure if that was HTC's idea or not. Hard to tell, looked like a optional stock component. It helped a ton, but, at the expense of your battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] irev210:
bars dont really tell you much...

this has been well documented that cellphone manufacturers are always changing how many bars = how many dB.

It's annoying, to say the least.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zzim:
If I am not mistaken the epic 4g only had a wireless G card where epic touch 4g has an N card. If you are broadcasting both aka your router has N and G then its going to auto connect to the N signal. N is faster but has a shorter range.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TurboFool:
Almost everything you just said is incorrect. The Epic 4G supports 802.11N, and one of the primary functions of 802.11N besides increased speed is increased range. Every new standard of 802.11 focuses on improving both of these.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nsxla:
Mine seems to be as good as the EVO
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] A_KAZ:
I am having the same issue... Sitting in my living room I have full signal with my Evo... 1-2 bars with the SG2.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ilostmypistons:
Mine is showing 1bar and my wifes EVO is show 3 so I did a speedtest and the results are amazing 18down 4up for the E4GT and I didnt waste my time testing the EVO.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leatherneck6017:
Same here, used to get three bars in this room with OG Epic, now only 1. Not worried about it though because the up/down speeds are right on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maderf:
Someone already said this here but I think it needs to be restated. Just because you only have x amount of bars means next to nothing. Do a speed test and see what the difference is. Different companies will show different amount of bars for different amounts of signal strength (which can be very misleading). What really matters is your signal strength in dB, not your bars. If your EVO gets the same down and up speed as your E4GT, you probably have similar signal strength with your wireless connection regardless of how many bars you see.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sm_x:
mine is a lot better than my nexus s. about 4x better in fact.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] humdrum2009:
Same here

But i did a sppedtest and it is a great connection 18 up 8 down these bars dont mean much:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SirWise23:
Same here. I'm one room over from my router and I only have 1-2 bars. My EVO3D has full.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deano0714:
I think they put the wifi radio in the bottom... When i cup it the signal goes down
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xenolance:
Is there a way to get the power controls added to the notification shade if using the stock GB OTA? I've looked and can't seem to find an App or mod specifically for that.

I've found threads about changing the colors and mostly it's people modding the pngs for it via the system?.apk file but I'm not sure how one would add tat, or if we could, say, take the system.apk from a rom that has it already such as Weapon g2x and just drop that on a Stock rooted OTA?

Any idea's or methods I'm just not aware of?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Simer03:
there's an app called "StatusBar+" in the market that has the ability to add power control widget buttons or w/e in the notification bar on non rooted phones....if thats what you're meaning?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JTCash20:
StatusBar+ isn't working for the G2X... Any other ideas??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Simer03:
if that app doesnt work, then the only other way is flashing a custom rom! I think u should just root the phone if u havent already, its nearly impossible to brick the thing unless ur completely unfamiliar with it, but even then, its damn hard! There's a ton of awesome roms with the notification widgets
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JTCash20:
Yeah my phone is rooted. I'm currently using EB 2.3.3 1.07 which I believe is one of the most stable roms... I just wish there was a way to add that feature (power control bar to the notification bar) to this rom without having to flash a different rom or theme...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JTCash20:
Could I just take the Systemui.apk file from one of the Weapon2.5 themes and replace my current Systemui.apk file?

I'm thinking it won't work because I'm on EB 2.3.3 1.07, there may be some other files missing from this rom that I might need??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] scrizz:
you won't know until you try.

;)

just make a nandroid b4 doing it.

:D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Simer03:
EB already has that....settings --> Cyanogenmod settings -->Interface --> Notification Power Widget
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kwes1020:
from my themeing experience of weapon and vibrant roms I think its a combination of frameres and systemui. I could be wrong but if it was me id ask a dev who has it in their ROM already it could greatly ease the method to achieve the desired effect.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JTCash20:
Well I will take your advice... I see you are the maker of the Precision theme for Weapons... It looks pretty sweet..

Will you be making this theme for Eagle Blood 2.3.3 (v1.07+)? Or better yet does this theme work with EB already?

FYI... It was your theme that I was going to try and use the systemui.apk file...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kwes1020:
I have no idea if it will work on eb or not. Im currently working on a few things, but might be able to port it soon.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
I believe he's talking about EaglesBlood 2.3.3, not 2.3.5.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
The notification power widgets on gingerbread roms are in the SystemUI.apk. The problem is, unless you are really snuggly with linux, java, and the sdk, your chances of coding your own are weak.

However, if you have a rom available to you from the same android and phone versions, you have a good shot at getting it to work, as with weapons systemui on eb 2.3.3.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Simer03:
ah my bad.....i figured all EB's roms were based on CM7??? i guess not??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] briscool:
Damn I didn't even know that! Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xenolance:
I have 1/3 lol. Well it's sad that this is the case. I know it is pretty hard to write apps but it seems some things should just be a given considering, Like why no app for this or even a built in option at this point? Oh Well, I'll figure something out for sure.. anyone wanna send me the systemui.apk from Weapon so I don't have to reinstall it again?

Yeah its free, but it requires steam to play it. I tried it out on ubuntu 10.10 under wine and everything works perfectly.
[Off-topic] conantroutman:
Shame it gets hellishly boring after about 3 minutes and 8 seconds.....
[Off-topic] Dirk:
Hehe, i approve your submishinz! :D

That's why i didn't bother with Portal 2. Yes, they are unique, well imagined, funny and well executed games...but all a bit rinse and repeat to play.

I'd probably still be playing TF2 if Valve hadn't completely ruined the Art Direction and turned the game into some sort of pseudo RPG. Valve have basically done to that game what Lucas has done to the Star Wars films :rolleyes:
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TaintedCross:
So I'm having Wifi Connection issues on my Mile stone. I'm running the Lastest STABLE version from Miui.us. Problem is I can connect but within a min or two of connection it looses connection and says wifi out of range even if Im standing right next to it. If I forget the connection and restart my router it will find it and connect again and do the same thing. I've tried my cousins Samsung Vibrant on my wireless router and he doesn't have any issues so I know its not the router itself. Any Idea's on how to fix this guys?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] skadude66:
I've had some success with changing the wifi sleep policy in the advanced tab of the WiFi settings.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TaintedCross:
Pretty much solved the issue, never even thought about it. Thanks.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] osmanzeki:
Gonna give this a try. Thanks! Hope it works, the latest (1.9.9) is so stable and fast its unbelievable.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TaintedCross:
Isn't 1.9.9 beta?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] skadude66:
Yeah, 1.9.9 is a beta development build, but he's just remarking how stable it really is.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] antipaticu:
Hi, I have the same problem with WIFI, I cahanged the slep policy, and when I activate Wifi it's starting scanning for nothing, no wifi Network appears and when I can connect, after a whie it's disconnecting itself and doesn't reconnect. Somebody knows the problem?..I'm using MIUI android v1.9.9
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TaintedCross:
I'm not sure, I updated to 1.9.16 and I'm having some issues with mine but not as bad. The weird thing is wifi won't work if the mobile data network is enable, when i turn that off my wifi will connect but if i get even like 10 feet away from the router it starts having connection issues and sometimes when im right next to it. But no where as bad as it was before.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtabb:
Couldn't find a general Q&A thread for this ROM [CyanogenMod 7.1RC REPACK | GTablet/smb_a1002], hope it's ok to start this one.

Loving this ROM so far, quite stable and everything I want working is doing so. Had a quick question about the Phone apks though. Is there any way to remove them? They're all over the ROM, and enabling the alternate app slider in the lock-screen (great feature, btw) causes the Phone slider to appear too, which is mildly annoying.

Many thanks to craigacgomez and everyone else involved.

Kind regards...
[Shift Development] djwillis:
This thread is to record comments/questions on a guide I have posted up on my site regarding the steps to get a fully working Windows 8 Developer Preview install onto the HTC Shift.

http://blogs.distant-earth.com/wp/?p=313

The process to get Windows 8 working (with graphics correctly setup etc.) is a little bit of a pain but nothing all that difficult. Especially if you follow the steps (usual rules, I made mistakes to save others the hassle ;))

The resulting install of Windows 8 running at 1024*600 is VERY usable :o, much to my surprise. Metro is actually quite nice on the tablet form factor.

The touchscreen is a little unresponsive round the edges but I suspect that is my device as it has never been very good.
[Shift Development] nooor7772000:
good work man thanks so much i will try and post my trial
[Shift Development] bouaroudj:
Thank you. I can't install any driver even with my ethernet connection :-(
[Shift Development] djwillis:
SmartScreen by any chance?

If your getting the green messages the chances are you Ethernet connection is not working (is it USB, does Windows 8 ship with the driver for whatever chip it uses?).

Below is a copy/paste from a comment I made on the guide concerning SmartScreen issues.
[Shift Development] Lord_alias:
I don't suppose you have all the needed drivers and could share them somewhere? i cant get any of the links to work so cant get it ready for the upgrade :(

Also can the test version be installed fresh? i am trying to get windows 7 working for an upgrade but if it can be done fresh i will do that xD
[Shift Development] djwillis:
Hi,

All the needed drivers are linked off the guide but as the HTC site seems to be up and down today :o I have now added mirrors to all the files (uploaded them to my server).

Checked and all the mirror links seem to be working fine :).

The best way to try Windows 8 on the Shift is actually a fresh install. I would not suggest an upgrade at all ;).
[Shift Development] Lord_alias:
fantastic i will give it a shot now :)

---------- Post added at 08:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 PM ----------

right i have another problem lol i have everything set up right with all the drivers standing by but when i choose to install i get an error about CD/DVD drives followed by a lack of HDD error :( any ideas?
[Shift Development] djwillis:
Are you going for a totally clean install as per the guide?

Is your USB stick all setup and bootable?

Assuming you are getting into the Windows setup booting off of the USB stick is it the part where you select the install disk that seems to show no HDD? If it it what was installed on your Shift before?

This sounds like an issue I had when I have Meego running off the HDD before I installed Windows 8 (BtrFS and a different partition layout seem to cause it).
[Shift Development] thatboyp:
Need Help,

I used the MS software to create the USB boot disk for window 8. try to install on the Shift. got to the part where it said loading files...then it show some blue squares on the upper left screen...it goes for 1/3 of the way and hang up....I let it run for 2 hours and had to do pull the battery.

try to re-install again..same result...

Do I need to format and partition the disk?
[Shift Development] djwillis:
That sounds like a bad stick to be honest :(. The blue squares are replaced with the install menu after just a few minutes. This is all well before anything is messing with the Shift's HDD or hardware ;).

Try reformatting it and having another go. It can't hurt.
[Shift Development] Lord_alias:
Right i managed to find the problem, only used your quide for the drivers as i installed windows 7 in a similar way, i used CMD and DISKPART to get a pen drive ready and then used XCOPY to move the installation media onto the drive but for some reason even though it said it was finished it was missing out a couple of files inside the sources folder, once i used XCOPY again over the existing media it managed to find the missing files and copy them. So you where right it was a problem with drivers missing from the install media and once they where found it was all clean sailing thanks to your fantastic guide :)

Thanks again xD
[Shift Development] bouaroudj:
Ok thanks it worked.

Has anyone tried this yet on a AT&T tilt? My old tilt is lonely!:eek:
[Shift Development] djwillis:
Hmmm, the Tilt is an ARM based HTC Kaiser, the Shift is a much bigger x86 based UMPC (with a cut down HTC Kaiser effectively shoved in to look after the ARM Windows Mobile side of the device ;)).

As this is running normal x86 Windows 8 I would not expect to see your old Tilt getting much love from the guide ;).

I cannot install Win 8 on my HTC Shift.

I follow the guide but using with 4GB Flash Drive.

any thing help or comments please!

thanks
[Shift Development] koala996:
Well... I have installed Win8 on the Shift without any trouble.

Overall I find it too slow for being usable. Neither Vista, 7 or 8 seem to be enough responsive.

I am very disappointed by the Metro UI, it is really slow and even in 1152*864 it does not work quite well.

What do you think about Metro UI responsiveness?

I have a lot of trouble getting accurate touch... it shows a circle but it seems that only a FEW (3-4 ?) pixels trigger... so you still have to find the precise point that will get the touch event.. OUCH !

It is especially painful to hit a corner (windows button, the task bar, and the application bar). I have to do almost everything with the mouse.... *SICK*

Intel driver supports several resolution... AMAZING ! but we need two things:

- change the resolution switch from 800*480 - 1024*600 to 800*480 - 1024*600 - 1024*768 - 1152*864 ... or at least get the ability to change the 1024*600.

- change the rotation : as a tablet... the screen rotation is kinda important...but well it is just a detail ;-)

---------- Post added at 08:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 AM ----------

what is the problem?

4GB Flash Drive seem a little bit too small. I have used a HDD of 20GB with the whole partition set as active.

It is for me the fastest and easiest solution to install Windows on the shift.

Have you been able to go to start the installation of Windows 8 ?

You need to press F12 during the boot to choose which drive to boot on.
[Shift Development] djwillis:
There is no need to do anything like that on the Shift.

The guide includes all the information you need to get Metro apps working (including running the Shift at 1152*864 to use Metro apps).

Hi, your going to have to give a little more information than that before anyone can really help you ;).

How far do you get into the process, what problems are you having? Any error messages?

I also suggest using a 8GB USB stick so you don't run into space issues.
[Shift Development] XeeX:
Oh sorry, i saw a demo video with Shift and Windows 8 where the user can't do that. So I was thinking he had the same issue as me. My bad !
[Shift Development] bouaroudj:
Hi you only need to set resolution to 1024x768 to make the tiles works (I did'nt know that when I made the video ;-) ). Of course 1152*864 is better

I don't know for you guys but the overall metro experience on the shift is crappy. Tiles are very slow :-(

Evoking HWR panel/onscreen keyboard

Once you have Windows 8 installed, are you having any problem getting the new text input panel/onscreen keyboard to show?

I've installed Windows 8 just fine on a Viliv S5, which had similar hardware specs and screen resolution to the HTC Shift. Everything works with a bit of tweaking - except for the HWR panel. And that's the one feature I want most.

Does anyone have any ideas?

[Shift Development] Zorbelo:
When installing Windows8 from USB the SETUP asks where to install Windows. I have only one partition previously used for Win7 on Shift but now it says, that Windows cannot be installed to Disk0 Partition1 as if it does not support booting to this disk. Is it possible to use DISKPART from the Windows recovery command prompt to wipe the disk and add back a traditional disk layout ? How this can be done ? I can start DISKPART, how to use it, what to do next ?
[Shift Development] picheth:
I have same problem but it was solved now.

You need to go back to Your Vista Business and re-install again Windows 8.

Hope it work!

what screen resolution does it work?

[Shift Development] koala996:
Win8 is just perfect.. when set up correctly !

Hello Everybody,

Just let my SHIFT down for weeks... and now I wanted to use it a little bit.

Guess what.. I solved the calibration problem by using the calibration tool.

Now, I can reach all the corners and even get the border effects (multi-task from left, right click from bottom, and menu from right) with my fingers or with the pen !

The only thing that is missing with the Intel driver... is the screen rotation.

We should find a solution for the screen rotation !
