Well I'm selling it for $500 (Canadian) and I got for $669 plus tax= 740

so I'm loosing $240, plus when I resign my contract and get a new phone, I'll probably spend $150 on a new phone with a 3 year contract.

So that way I would be loosing $390 plus I'm locked in a contract for three years.

Dam, after doing the math it's kind of stupid to sell it.

I already did factory reset, I hate myself sometimes.

That is AMAZING!!!! Thanks! :D

I'll play round with it right now.

You get more wifi over there than here in the states. If you unlock it, internet services are cheaper and faster because the networks are less congested

If you do take it with you, consider buying pay-as-you-go sim cards in the countries you visit. It'll really bring down the cost of actually using the phone.

Thank you everybody, I decided to keep it.

but I'm surprised of how many people were willling to buy it.

igo myway.

I believe they all have off line mapping. And special maps can be had or made for locas.

While wifi can not be found every where it can be found in the most unusual places now.

telus had special rates and plans for foreign countries. And I could be wrong but you may be able to put your cell plan on "hold"while riot are out of the country for a long time. You may be able to avoid the costly contract cancel costs. Maybe. And have your phone when you come back.

And if its time to renew get the new phone then too.and sell under one you don't like.

I rooted my phone using Z4 root then tried to install cyanogen mod 6.1. Everything seemed to work fine but it has been over an hour and my phone is still on the cyanogen mod screen. Help please! Sorry I previosly forgot to mention my phone is the HTC Hero CDMA running 2.1 update 1. Never mind I was able to do a recovery. Sorry to bother you, I'm an extreme noob.

I wanted to put this in the Root section, but i didnt want to get blasted for not putting it in the right forum, so I figured I would post it here.

I just got my phone, and I would love to get this thing rooted, remove some bloatware and oc'ed.

The only concern I have is that there are several methods it seems for rooting the phone, and which method are most people having the best success with?

I have read several posts in all the different methods about signal losses, no wifi or bluetooth, bricks, etc.

I just want to get some feedback from the brave souls out there that have done it, which method, and if you had any issues doing it.

This is my first Samsung phone as I came from the HTC G2, and I love the Epic Touch. Can't imagine a phone being much better and I dont want to have to go through the hassle of bricking it and having to return it to Best Buy or Sprint.

Thanks in advance!

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:
well there is no usb 3.0 support so those are out unless you get a backwards compatible one. And you also have to check the power consumption i think it hase to be bellow 15volts but im not sure
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaneledford:
As far as I know all USB 3.0 drives are backward compatible.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:
from what i have read most are compatible with highspeed usb 2.0 but allot less are compatible with regular 2.0 hubs
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexTheStampede:
What. There are 4 kinds of USB (not counting on the go, wireless and eventually others) : USB 1.0, USB 1.1, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0

Hi-Speed USB means just USB 2.0, Super Speed is USB 3.0 and the older ones are plain and simply USB.

The theorical top speeds are: 1.5mbps, 12mbps, 480mbps and finally 4000mbps

High speed was briefly and not standardized with USB 1.1 so some device makers had that nonsense on their hubs.

Maybe you misunderstood? Some drives don't like some hubs, but that's a power requirement... If the drive needs x volts and the hub can't offer them because it's already sharing the power with other devices and has no wall plug to get extra power, the drive will just spin up and down without ever starting. 3.5" drives always need their own power adapter, so those always work, 2.5" ones usually draw the power from the USB and as such might be a little hit and miss with hubs, however the Transformer powers them up quite well.

Western Digital makes awesome, reliable, fast and quiet drives, I do have an USB 2.0 My Passport... And several others in various devices :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AcIdC0R3:
I wouldn't recommend any of those drives. I would instead go with something like THIS HDD, THIS external enclosure and THIS retractable USB 2.0 A-Male to Mini 5-Pin. I have this setup and I also have one with an 120gb SSD. Incidentally, if you go with a SSD there is no motor that has to spin the platters because there's no moving parts so it uses less battery power than the first HDD I showed you. Also I know on the Vantec enclosure it says capable for up to 160gb drives but if you look at the details it says up to 750gb HDD's. I can confirm this because mine is a 750gb HDD.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidjens:
Got a Buffalostation that works well. If it's the best or not, I wouldn't know.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexTheStampede:
So far that's the most expensive and less bang for the buck option XD
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaneledford:
Thanks everyone. So far It looks like this one is a pretty good choice. It has good reviews and if its confirmed working on the Transformer I might go ahead and grab it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidjens:
Hope it'll serve you well.

I just remembered that I had to re-format it to NTFS before the Transformer would recognize it. Just thought I'd let you know.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AcIdC0R3:
...but extremely dependable, very effective and lower power consuming than any of those Buffalo drives. I have a Buffalo NAS drive and they're good for that but as for using one for a portable drive I would not. If you're going to use a regular HDD I would at least go with a Seagate or Western Digital drive as they tend to be better drives and are far quieter than any other brand on the market today. Yeah it may be a little more expensive but it's worth it. At least it was for me that is.

Hello Forum,

just get this thread back, because i need that feature:D

Lemme explain:

My Galaxy S2(XXLSJ leaked), is connected into JVC bluetooth car Audio device, which supports incoming notifications from phone.

In the past, with my old Nokia 5800 C6 ported, when i get a SMS, on the dual din screen of my JVC appears a message about new SMS received, and remais there until i read on the phone or touch on it into display.......

Is this feature be possible with a mod on a leaked XXLSJ Rom?

Thanks for helping and answering you Masters:D:D;);)

[Motorola Droid Bionic] ind3p3nd3nt:
You can buy the six axis controller app in the market. It will use Bluetooth to connect them and you won't need a dock or a cable.

Sixaxis works on the Bionic now. You need to bypass IME so it makes the controller act like a hardware keyboard. Some people notice lag when using it through the HDMI though. Personally I haven't had that issue.

[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
If u downloaded one from market it should be under /data/app

Then just find the apk. Mine was golauncher that I moved. It had a different name for the apk but was similar. Had go launcher in the name.

---------- Post added at 11:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 PM ----------

Just do NOT freeze or remove you current launcher(for example blur home) until u know your new launcher is working right as u could get stuck.

Could some explain the purpose of moving an add-on launcher to " /system/Apps "?

Or what is the Op trying to do?

BTW Do not freeze the stock Home app as you will never be able to boot to safe mode and avoid an SBF when you could have uninstalled a bad program instead.

How do u boot to safe mode and what exactly is it? I have heard it mentioned but never saw anyone actually speak of using it.

Are u rooted?

Is there an option in es file menu settings to browse as root?

I use root explorer for ALL my file management needs. It is worth the money spent to have it FOREVER ;)

And i moved itI to system because I have my blue home sitting on my sd card so it don't run.

So if I do a user data wipe it doesn't delete it ....at least it hasn't deleted it yet...it tricks the phone to think it is a true system app. U only lose it when flashing a new rom or something that delete ir overwrite your /system

And im on eclipse remix. It seems that ALL my system apps have owners root and root.

So I dunno if changing to that helps anything but I did that along with permission changes.

Hold menu (left most) key while pwr'ing on and keep on the menu key until long vibrate or lock screen.

Save yourself from at worst, reflashing your rom, leave your stock home app alone.

I've been asking and asking and checking every day for this, and it's finally up, even though no one ever replied back to tell me it was up.

I have invisibleSHIELDs on almost all of my gadgets and they do work very well. They aren't for people that drop their stuff, but they will keep them scratch free without uglying it up with a thick case. I find the added texture helps hold it.

I know a lot of people don't feel they need to protect Gorilla Glass, but trust me, it isn't scratch proof... just harder to scratch.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zenmasta:
Don't waste your money. They are over rated. I used them on my Evo. They give the screen a sticky feeling and the do wear off.

To get it replaced, you have to pay for shipping AND return the old protector or they charge you full price. replaced mine twice within the first 6 months until I gave up and just put the one that came from my Otterbox case. Lasted to this day and does not show any sign of wear.

Save your money and get a cheap pack on Ebay.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spencer88:
I have to say that I hated my invisibleshield, it's too rubbery and it's hard to slide your fingers across it to do things like pinch zooming for just even scrolling up and down the screen. I had it on my OG EVO, after a few months, I ended up peeling it off, right after the 45 days return period ended. I went with just the naked screen after that. On my EVO 3D I tried the PhantomSkinz screen protector, much better. No rubbery feeling, it feels *almost* like glass. They retail at 10 dollars on their website, currently there's a 2 for 1 internet special if you order from their website. Highly recommended.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] akarol:
ZAGG sucks as screen protector. Famous orange peel problem and the texture is too rubbery to slide fingers. BodyGuardz is lightyears ahead, and half the price considering you get 2 for the price of one. I'll wait a bit more for it. =D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Drop Knowledge:
Was considering ZAGG, but from reports of stickiness, will stay away. Especially as a heavy Swype user, I need to be able to slide effortlessly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] amandureja:
I use an InvisibleShield for my Galaxy S2 (original version), and although it added some stickiness and a rubbery feeling for the first two days, after that, it was great! In fact, the main reason I put it on was because the screen was getting sticky for some reason and was making it difficult to use the Swype keyboard (ironic, eh?). The point is, I really like my Invisible Shield, and using the phone with it is just as good as without it. Sure, the "orange peel" texture does exist, but is only visible when the screen is turned off and there is some light shining on the phone. Was it worth $20? No. But considering that if it ever gets messed up I only have to pay for shipping, I can live with that. :)

Just my $0.02.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Scaplet:
They're perfect on my iPad, the tackiness makes it easier to hold it with one hand, which I do often as its my reader. On my phone however, I'm choosing to go naked up front (and loving it!). I don't want to cover the beauty of our screen, I just have the simple Sammy one covering the back.
