[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] walord:
You can plug the phone into a 2A (2000mA) charger and it'll still only pull the 650mA for charging the battery and use whatever excess it needs for running the phone. The issue isn't the milliamps unless the phone's charging circuitry is faulty which again, isn't as likely. The issue is the voltage from the power adapter (wall wart) probably isn't being tightly regulated to 5.0V +/-5% like it should be, while the PC USB port is most definitely going to be well regulated.

If you've plugged the same cable into a pc USB port you've pretty much verified that it's a faulty wall power adapter.

It's also likely that the faulty power adapter is exceeding the recommended voltage and may damage your phone's charging circuitry; so stop using it!!!

Personally, I would return it for a new phone and charger because you don't know how much damage has been done to your phone because of it...

BTW, mAh refers to battery capacity.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ehusidic:
If your using the factory charger that is whats causing the problem. Use an old charger and youll be fine
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] r3a1ist:
Oh wow, this topic's still got life. Yeah, I swapped my phone and the new one doesn't have any visible touch sensitivity when connected with the stock charger. There are some differences between E4GT's as to how sensitive they are to the high current stock chargers it seems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gksmith:
I use BlackBerry cables and chargers on my S2. The bb cables are really thick. My wife's Evo works better with those than the stock cable. The bb cables are Amazon ordered and were listed s official cables I got for my old bb phone.

+1 on the Photon charger. Have never even unwrapped the Samsung charger...still in the box.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CDuke619:
My wife has the epic touch and she was complaining to me about the phone not responding and opening random things. I checked it out and it did have a problem. I tried to see if using my Droid Charge charger would solve it but it still had the problem. So then I let her use my HTC Thunderbolt charger and the phone works perfect while charging. Thats a major flaw that the phone acts up while charging on the wall charger it came with. But the fix is just use a non samsung charger and it will be fine
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportsplayer5959:
I just got the gs2 and wanted to see if the hero's stock sdcard is at least a class 4 so i can switch it over to my gs2. It does not say the class on the htc hero microsd.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abadasstanker69:
And you think someone here will know? Nobody knows how or where you got it from, where they got it from, or if the card was replaced and/or by who. You're asking an impossible question. From what I understand there are apps on the market that can measure the r/w speed but I thought I read somewhere that they where flawed. Just stick it in the other phone. Its not like it will blow up or anything. Good luck
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDowntown12:
There used to be some tests floating around here that some devs did regarding sd card speed. I know they figured out that a class 8 was the highest a hero could use fully. A 10 wasn't any faster. Don't know if they stated the original class though.

Just search it
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpeeps74:
If it was stock im pretty sure that it's class 2. If it's bigger than 2gb then it's definitely not stock.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportsplayer5959:
Im not scared it will blow up. You NEED above a class 4 or it can cause issues when writing hd video to the microsd. And it is the stock htc hero microsd
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportsplayer5959:
Turns out it is a class 6
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch1naski:
Most cards have a circle with a number inside it. That number is the class rating

I just got this email. I tried using it to add a line but no dice for this price. It seems like you can only get them on a new account activation. oh well.. $99 ($199 - $100 samsung coupon code)

I wish I could afford to get one outright and if I was dying to get it I would find a way..I'm almost afraid to just go look at one in the store because I'm afraid it will make me "HAVE TO HAVE IT"

It now says it's backordered until the 21st though but still 99 bucks instead of 199 sounds good. I'm going to go play with one at the store, if I like it I will just wait a few weeks until my student loan $ comes in and I have the extra $ then buy it outright.. if it blows me away that is, which it seems like it will from what I'm reading

Rumours about Galaxy SIII are popping out. If SIII will have all the specs in this article, it's gonna be a blast. Guess we shouldn't worry about our SII getting old yet, cause it will probably take at least one year for SIII to be launched. Here's the article:

Hopefully by next year we'll get to see at least something that really makes use of dual-core. We're speaking about "OMG quad-core I NEED it" but still decent single cores run mostly any current app/game properly...

Got an SGS2 and still running the same stuff I used to run in my SGS1...hopefully I won't be running the same old stuff on a quad, penta or hexa core.

I hope one good outcome of all these Apple lawsuits is that Samsung could finally stop designing phones that closely resemble iPhones (Internaional versions of GS1 and GS2 with the big HOME button in the middle) or iPad (GTab 10.1). Making some truely unique looking phones, Samsung.

I just heard a rumor that Galaxy S4 will have 4.95 in HD screen with 1680x1050 resolution, Tegra 4 with 8 cores and laser pen with refillable ink that can be used to write on paper or as a stylus on the phone. It also comes with an extended battery that can fit into your other pocket and charges wirelessly to SGS4.
[General Topics] grey77:
I beg to differ: the majority of the time the phone will be in deep sleep or at minimal (200? Mhz) with minimal voltage.

And according to those rumours, it gonna be 28nm fabrication process (that means lower power consumption).

The only thing I am interested in are the UMTS band frequencies supported by next devices. I am tired of seeing tri- or quad-band android phones that are not necessarily compatible with every major countries. This means that you have then to wait for a specific version for your country, you are oftentimes stuck with carrier-specific phones, etc.).

And I am not talking about compatibility with new networks (LTE, 4G europe, etc.)...

...but have not tried deskScapes
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] tylerwatt12:
I did a little trick to remove mine.. First thing i did was change the wallpaper to a solid color. Either black or white.. That will make the watermark change colors..

If the background is black the watermark is white etc..

So i'm using an alienware wallpaper which has a black background.

I set the solid color to white, which made the text black

then i set the alienware wallpaper and watermark is hidden

im using the samsung infuse 4g and thinking about trying a wp7 phone. I want a wp7 phone that compares or is better than my infuse. What phones are out there and what can i expect when switching from android os? thanks
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I wouldnt do it. WP7 hardware can't compare to the Infuse. The Infuse is actually one hell of a phone and has so much more with it. WP7 is basically featureless with no sign of improvement. It'll be a dead system before long.

[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Don't bother trying to reason with him. I can tell it's useless by the kind of post he made.

@OP: I suggest going to you carrier's local store & playing with the WP7 handset(s) they have & see if you like WP7 first & foremost. My suggestion as to which device, I'd say go for a Mango 2nd Gen handset with a Front Facing Camera & a 1.4-5 GHz CPU as these's will be more bang for your buck & will most likely receive more updates down the road. No telling when the 1st Gen devices will loose support. As to Hardware, it doesn't matter as much on WP7, because a 1GHz CPU is faster than "some" faster Android devices & even the Android Dual Cores. I did say some though, there's a few that can keep up.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Why so many people who hate the platform in here? All you android fans seem to have way too much time on your hands. Can't remember the last time I even went into an Android forum.

I for one left Android & the iPhone and will never go back. Mango kicks the crap out of either of them I don't care if your processor is newer.
[Windows Phone 7 General] speedfreak228:
ya why are android users posting useless info here? i just watched a mango review on pocketnow.com and mango looks really impressive. is there any real customization to mango? can you change the wallpaper to something besides black or white, i think that might buy me? also will it sync to my google contacts? idont use ms office at all.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Radek Hulán:
Go for it. Windows Phone 7.5 is much better OS than Android 2.3.5 - faster, with much better design, with great Facebook / Twitter / LinkedIn integration, Office Hub (Word, Excel, OneNote, PowerPoint), Xbox Live and many other stuff. All apps follow design guidelines and are fluent, unlike in Android.

As is Office 2010 + SkyDrive + Hotmail and/or Office365 + Office Online + SharePoint is much better than Gmail and Docs, so is Mango better than Android. I would suggest staying with Android only if you rely on Google services.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I personally would not do it. The infuse has betterhardware than second Gen WP devices and Android is clearly superior at this point in time. Wait another year imo...

i guess it all depends on what do you want it for. Hardware (cpu) is irrelevant, windows ME would suck even with an i7.

If you like music like I do...WP7 is a must. Zune Pass is the best offer in the market.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Saux64:
your post is mind blowing. who really do hardcore gaming on a phone?
[Windows Phone 7 General] AngryNil:
Laughing my arse off, so many haters.

I wouldn't swap my Omnia 7 for my friend's GSII. We both purchased them around the same time and our experiences are jarringly different - I'm pleasantly surprised again and again on Mango, while he's run into hiccups (laggy lockscreen, FaceBook friends merged with contacts and can't be selectively chosen, hit "update all" and his apps started updating over cellular data with no pause/cancel).

Mango blows Android out of the water in terms of core experience. If you don't like the look of Windows Phone, don't buy it. You can read the limitless articles on the Internet and try out a device. If you were expecting deep customization, you're not going to get it.

I purchased a Windows Phone because Windows Mobile frustrated me. Once you've been in the customization game for long enough, you know that it will never match a purely unified, integrated system.

@Purple11, first person shooters on a touchscreen device? I don't think that's a deal-breaker for anyone. CoD on a phone simply won't work.

@MartyLK, it all just WORKS. That's probably why you get bored, there's not as much excitement when it's all just great.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
I loved it from the beginning & still do, so false. Yes, I do miss customizing, but now I save 1000's of hours I used to waste customizing/hacking/tweaking my cell phone.

Yes & no, Mango does give new hardware that can be used. Of course it won't add new hardware to current device. Software updates can't do that. HTC's new devices are already on their official site, so they should be out any time now. They also have FFC & WP7 has much better battery life than Android. I have 50% battery life after 8 hrs of moderate to heavy use with a lot of 3G+ internet browsing. Another false statement.

There's Garmin & Navigon is coming in Mango, so yes there is voice-guided navigation. False yet again.

In the end, WP7 does everything the typical user could need minus Video MMS & Flash support. Neither of which I miss. I can listen to music, watch movies, call text, send pictures, browse the internet, watch Youtube, connect on Facebook & Tweeter, etc. & do so fast & efficiently. Voice commands work great. I currently work in delivery & constantly use Bing Maps to get directions & can't state how great & fast it is to just tell the phone the address or cross street instead of typing it in. My co-workers look at me funny when they see me do it. They all have Androids, go figure.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
That's false. My Focus is horrendous for battery life. And even sitting unused, without the email syncing, I have to charge it every other day. The HD7 I had was just as horrendous as the Focus. Not so with my other phones. Android can be a battery hog. But the Infuse is the best Android phone I've seen for battery life.

How is what I said false about the navigation? Is there voice-guided navigation on WP7 right now? And has there been any voice-guided navigation from the launch of WP7?

And just because you haven't turned against it doesn't mean what I said was false. I know of people who can't stand WP7 now. But they were feverish for it in the beginning.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
It's false, because you give the misconception that everyone who loved it will eventually hate it or grow bored. Yes, there is a current GPS app, Garmin. I already said this & there are a few others in the market. Sorry, I get great battery life & to expect to get more than 2 days on heavy to moderate usage with a smartphone, you're expecting too much. It's not a dumb-phone where you can go a week without charging & most likely won't change anytime soon.

Exactly, when I pull out my HD7, it just WORKS. It does what I need it to without endless tweaking/customizing. I now have my life back. It's like having a laptop in my pocket.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
That's a total and deliberate lie. There currently is no voice-guided navigation on WP7...for NoDo...not the hacked and unlocked Mango users. And there hasn't been since WP7's launch.

I also don't expect more than a couple days of the battery on moderate use. But you ignored the point I made about my WP7 not being used and still discharge rapidly.

My iPhone 4 gets at least a week on moderate use. Top that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Nope, not a lie. There's Garmin, how many times most I say this? There are also a few other apps free & paid for. Maybe you need to search the market better. I'm out as I'm done trying to reason with you. The OP is looking for constructive information that you're not giving. All he is getting is a bunch of hate from WP7 haters & having his thread turned into yet another Android vs. WP7 debate. Please stay on topic & give concise/constructive/real information that is helpful to his cause. Thank you & good bye.

Garmin StreetPilot for WP7

Sorry, missed that. Did you add it in an edit to your post? Anyway, mine hardly ever drops when I'm not using it. Mine only shows signs of battery drain when I am actively using it & I have email set to sync every 15 mins. I sometime even forget to turn WiFi off & it seems to make no difference or at least not noticeable.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Nope, not at all. We're just trying to warn the OP of the state of WP7. And I'm merely relating my experiences with it.

And no, there is no voice-guided navigation apps currently available for NoDo users...you know...the only official WP7 at the time. If the OP goes to any store right now...in the USA and most everywhere else...the OP would get only NoDo WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Garmin Streetpilot is available for NoDo. SHM... see link above...
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
It isn't for NoDo. NoDo doesn't have the ability to use this app's voice-guided features. It's only for Mango, which MS has recently allow the Marketplace to contain.

And to top it off, why would the OP want to go to a high-dollar, currently unusable navigation app when his Infuse has the best voice-guided navigation for free?
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Nope, it's on NoDo. I have NoDo & just installed the trial. yes, it's expensive, but there are cheaper & free options. Not as good as Garmin, but they're there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Give it a try and see if you get voice-guided prompts while driving down the road.

If it does, I'll concede and install it myself and try it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I agree. The Galaxy S has superior audio quality and I've know for a while the GS had the Wolfson chip. The new Galaxy S 2, though, uses a Yamaha audio chip and should sound just as good, if not a bit better.

The audio chip on any WP7 phone is integrated into the SoC. And it doesn't sound good at all.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
It does, see the above list of features. I even bolded it for you. I also have Navigon select installed & it has Voice Guided navigation, granted it's a hack version from a different Carrier. There are also some 3rd party developers who have made NoDo GPS apps that have Voice Guided Navigation. Some aren't great 7 may be buggy or beta, but they exist. This is all that matter as you said they don't exist. It's the simple truth, nothing more to say or proof to give. Just search the market for yourself.

As to the Audio Chip, I've seen nothing from MS that limits OEM's from adding this. So, it's up to the OEMs. As for battery, the only credit I can give is some OEM's are cheap with battery size. HTC is sadly guilty of this, but in general, WP7 has good battery life & better than MOST Android devices I've seen/used. Again, an OEM issue, not WP7.
