[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartbeatz:
Okay so here is the deal. I just picked this sweet Epic up and started rooting it and I can't get it connected to the pc to get into the files. I set the phone to debugging, and even tried it with it off as well, then I connected the usb (and yes I tried alt cords too) to the pc and selected mass storage (I tried charging too). The pc says it's installing the drivers and even says completed and ready to use but on my computer screen it only shows my hard drive :confused:. I downloaded the starter sdk and tried those drivers as well. Even though I could not get it to recognize I started Odin and while phone was on it showed 2 ports, but once I turned the phone off and set it to download mode I get zero, zip, nada for ports available. Now I did see somewhere to set the code back to PDA and top to Modem so I did that as well. Still no luck. I am running stock Froyo EC05 2.2.1 and 2.6.32.9 kernel. Can someone please help me out? I had a Moment before this and never this many issues. Is there a way to just put the card in a reader and install the files and then put it back in my phone and run recovery from there? I've never had to do that before so I was wondering if it's an option if I can't fix this. Last thing is the charging time is way long and the hold isn't lasting long either. I'm no expert or developer, but I'm flashed many ROMs on my moment so I guess you can say I know a little. Please no tech jargon/lingo though to prevent unnecessary communication issues. Suggestions on GB ROMs would be nice too. I tried RandomKing but the links were no good. I hate the stock garbage on there and would love it if someone could help me get them off so I can continue with my rooting agenda.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Try with USB debugging on, connect to the computer then go into control panel and device manager, find phone entry, probably samsung android, then hit update drivers from Windows Update. Takes a while to load all drivers, sometimes more than 30 minutes. Then reboot computer and phone and try it.

As for ROMs they are ALL good. Read the description of each to find out what's in it and if you like it, try it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartbeatz:
Thanks for the reply. I tried that (unknown device) but I just keep getting windows has decided your driver is the best message when I even disabled, re-enabled, removed and re-installed all drivers. It's really bugging me and I'm not one to give up but I spent over 6 hours on this last night and I'm stumped. BTW what 2.3 ROMs do you know of that are stable with the least issues? Just suggestions of course as everyone has their own style...;)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Stick to the EG22 ROMs since EH06 and EH17 caused many phones to random reboot. After a few days EH17 started disconnected my calls. I have been using a ROM not listed on XDA. It is Bonsai B14 EG22 based. You can google Bonsai Android or click my signature. There are a few good ones in the development section here too.

Sounds like it is definitely a driver issue. There are samsung drivers floating around here. If you don't find a working set I will hunt them down tonight for you.

Thanks...

Cool I will try that out when I get home since work computers are usb restricted :(

Thanks for all your help and I'll update you tomorrow.

By the way I was playing a HD game on it today while charging and I got a charging paused, battery too hot or cold... Is this a problem with the EG22 build?

I put it through Odin and was following the prompts on the odin page that said to put victory_8G_100528.pit in pit and the tar in, hit start it went through and said something about partition and then the phone shut off and never came back on. It won't even charge now... NO life at all. :(
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartbeatz:
Fixed...

Okay I took the battery and sd card out, and then plugged the usb in while holding 1 & power down. That put it into download mode. From there I just put the battery and card back in and installed clockwork. BTW the only cord that would work was the one that came with the phone. Took me 12 hr to figure that one out because all the forums said to not use it. UGH :mad:

Thanks for all the help. :)

There is a manufacturers cord that is the same connector but doesn't work, not sure which one but I use my old Palm Pre cable and a lot of others use Blackberry cables.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartbeatz:
Oh so nice

Okay the new ROM is running great and is oh so sexy, fast and powerful, although I do not like the home page dock layout. I see no issues yet and I'm switching back to the Epic today after I beef up my old moment (which I had swapped to for the day because I thought I soft bricked the Epic beyond recovery) I promised to my mom. I'd like to find a stable GB build for her too but it doesn't look like the programmers have figured that one out yet.

BTW the cord I have is the one that looks a little weird on the end you plug into the phone and seems to be real stiff. I got more phones to mess with so thanks all...

Anyone know of any good tutorial sites that teaches how to develop and write codes? Flashing is one thing but getting to know the nuts and bolts to help others out is where I want to be.

No the screen isnt black, its like im stuck on Vibrant Samsung boot but i can hear the Tmobile chime. when i left it for about 5hours the battery is completely drained.

what seems to be the problem?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] honoluluacx:
This happened to me a while back. Senior developers called this a "soft brick". To fix, you need to flash (via ODIN) with Eugene's Froyo ROM (no brick) and then flash a stock vibrant rom. Sorry that I can't post a link to that froyo rom, but just google it. Hope this helps.:)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redhorse:
I followed your advice man and odined Eugenes Froyo doesnt brick but when the phone restarted it I got stucked this time the Galaxy S Logo and the phone vibrates every few seconds i dont know why is this happening any help from you guys is much appreciated.

Im trying to wipe/data factory reset but I cant, i just can navigate using up/down volume buttons but can not press OK or Enter
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
For the no brick...

You need to read up on it, but you flash it in Odin, check to not reboot, then you flash stock jfd in Odin over it.

It's been a long time for me, so be sure and watch a video on YouTube, or read a guide first.

Short and sweet, your phone will be fine, you aren't bricked for good.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redhorse:
what I did is odin'd to Froyo doesnt brick then odin'd again to stock 2.1 what else am I missing? i read a lot of tutorials including yours, on how to get back to stock but same thing happens.. still stuck!

What do you mean by not check reboot sir? Is it on Froyo dsnt brick? If thats the case what I did is.

Odin'd Froyo doesnt brick uncheck all except PIT and PDA onced finished at download mode screen I pressed keys to get to recovery mode, Odin detected my phone then flash to stock jfd over it. still to no avail. stuck at boot screen.

I did this because I cannot boot up Eugenes (no brick) for some reason it stuck on boot screen and then vibrates randomly, never boots up completely

I think my phone is really messed up.. I installed any ROM i could imagine both CWM mode and ODIN but still cant get pass thru bootscreen,

on stock JFD I can hear Tmobile sound but on any 2.2 based ROMS it only vibrates a few seconds then reboots the phone and vibrates again...

I had no problems going Download mode or recovery mode works fine.

Only problem is I cant get pass thru bootscreen on any ROMS i had flashed.

[HTC Sensation] Super Chimp:
After having a lot of ergonomic issues when I had a GS2 for a little while, I was wondering if the Sensation was better in this respect as it's still a fairly large handset.
[HTC Sensation] Waveblade:
Depends on your hands though right? For someone like me who liked the Galaxy S series and felt the 3.7" phones are too small for portrait at least. (I can't type portrait on a iPhone). I suspect you'll have to go to a smaller phone :/
[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
I have small hands and it feels fine. Thanks to the curved shape of the back it fits quite nicely into my hand.

Sent from my Cyanogenmod loaded Htc Sensation 4g
[HTC Sensation] Super Chimp:
I have fairly large hands I would say but no real issue when using the Arc, yet the GS2 I had a lot of issues with. What the screen ratio on the Sensation, is it 16:9?
[HTC Sensation] idavid_:
Yes, 16:9. The phone itself is almost the same size as SGS 1. Not too big
[HTC Sensation] Super Chimp:
The problem with the GS2 is it felt rather big & boxy, and overly wide.
[HTC Sensation] brusko1972:
You could go to a store and hold one just to get the actual feel of the phone.
[HTC Sensation] Super Chimp:
I did that with the GS2 before I purchased one and the problems didn't emerge until I had been using for some little while.
[HTC Sensation] nrvnqsrxk:
I have medium sized hands and they're just fine.
[HTC Sensation] Super Chimp:
Comparing them in the shop the Sensation is noticeable smaller than the GS2.
[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
Actually the sensation is slightly bigger at the longest points but the curved edges create the

illusion of it being smaller.
[HTC Sensation] leftheodo:
I've held both and i have to say that the feel of the sensation is one of the things that made me choose it! Not only it feels like a more premium device, it has better ergonomics too! I've been using it for 3 months now! GS2 is a great phone but it could have had better build quality! Cheers!
[HTC Sensation] HighTech216:
I have long fingers, and it wasn't until I got my Sensation that I noticed how cramped my hands were around my Nexus one. I honestly think I could use an even larger phone...

But to answer your question, IMO the Sensation has a very good feel to it. Its very comfortable for me. I would recommend it to anyone.
[HTC Sensation] Super Chimp:
When I compared the width of it & the GS2 to my Arc, I was disappointed to note that to the naked eye the Sensation seemed to have just as much extra width as the GS2.
[HTC Sensation] Towle:
The way the Sensation is shaped makes it feel smaller in the hand and gives you a lot better control over the phone.
[HTC Sensation] digiholic:
Sexiest, best feeling phone I've ever held! Period!

So much so I find myself holding it sometimes even when it's off. I try not to caress it... but it's hard. :cool:

http://www.amazon.com/BlackBerry-Remote-Stereo-Bluetooth-Gateway/dp/B00170KUM0

I use this Blackberry Bluetooth Stereo Gateway to stream music to my car stereo. I've used it with an HTC EVO, Droid X, and Droid X2 with no problems.

I just upgraded to the Galaxy S2 EPIC 4g Touch and it will not find the adapter.

The Stereo Gateway goes into pairing mode for 30sec. when you first turn it on, and the S2 does not find it when I turn on bluetooth and search for devices.

I've tried it on my other devices with no problems, I've re-paired the stereo gateway with a brand new LG Optimus S, with no problems. I know that the Stereo Gateway is functioning.

I am guessing that because the S2 is equipped with the Bluetooth 3.0 specifications that this would be the cause of the problem, BUT i thought it was supposed to be backwards compatible with older devices.

Anyone have any input or can help me?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Scaplet:
I use the phone which is paired to my Scala Rider helmet sound system with the stereo working fine. The Scala system is Bluetooth 2.1. My phone actually works better with my Scala than both my old Gingerbread phone and my iPod touch. Both of those ALWAYS had to be manually connected and they'd both occasionally lose the connection from time to time. With my Ep4gt, it ALWAYS automatically connects when both devices are on, and its never dropped the connection.

Is there a way to update your car stereo?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ramik911:
Does anyone know of anything that I can replace the Blackberry Stereo Gateway with? It needs to be removable and connect to a 3.5 headphone plug.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jobryan26:
I use my Epic 4G Touch with my Blackberry Stereo Gateway. Only thing I had to do different is when I first paired it I had to do a manual scan on my phone. On my EVO as soon as I would start my car my EVO would prompt me that the Gateway was try to pair with my phone.

Edit: You know if I remember correctly it seem like it took forever for it to find it the first time I searched for the adapter, but it did eventually pair.

Hey Guys,

For the last few hours, the touchscreen of my Milestone is acting very erratically. When I turn the phone on, it works for a few seconds (sometimes minutes) and then suddenly stops working. And then when I turn off the screen and turn on again after a while, it again works for a while.

And when it stops working, sometimes it totally fails to register any tap, sometimes it has ghost touch and sometimes it registers a tap when I press very strongly. I have noticed that the problem mainly occurs in the right side of the screen. And the soft touch buttons at the bottom are affected as well.

Is my phone done? Pls help me. I really cannot afford to buy another phone at this time.. PLS help!!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] uptheironsrafi:
Ok, since no one seems interested, I better post an update myself. I did some searching and found some info. One of the probable causes could be moisture getting into the digitiser. Although it didn't rain today, it was pretty hot and I sweated a lot, so it is possible that the sweat somehow got into it.

So heres the solution I am trying now. I pulled the battery, sim and MicroSd, opened the keyboard and put the whole thing in an airtight bag of PUFFED rice( they are much better dehumidifiers than uncooked rice). Lets see what happens after a few hours.. Wish me luck...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] wisefreakz:
