I'll post my experience, before installing the future beta.

I've been playing a lots of game since the developer preview become downlodable, and when I say lot, i mean at least 50/60 games, and no one had compatibility problem. The oldest one I tried is Max Payne (2001), working great after applying a patch (needed also for windows 7); the newest is Alan Wake, also working great. Speaking of performance, i noticed a gain of 2/3/4 frame/s for each games.

The OS's been installed and used daily since the release, on a q9400 CPU and a 5770 GPU.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duzzyfu:
Hi all,

I bought an unlocked S2 from HK. I'm in the UK.

Rooted it using CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.tar and S2 root, then went back to official firmware using GT-I9100_I9100ZSKG2_Kernel.tar to get rid of the warning triangle.

All was going great until I downloaded AntTek App Manager and obviously somehow froze something that was required because I then got into a boot loop. :-(

Fixed that by flashing with GT-I9100_TGY_I9100ZSKG2_I9100OZSKG2_I9100XXKG1.tar however now the predictive text for the samsung keyboard does not work (but it does for the swype one.)

Other threads suggest that maybe flashing with my local CSC would fix it (I was planning on opening up and using the correct files from GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWKF3_I9100XXKE7_I9100XEUKD1.TAR)

However the thread where you find the roms states "CSC has nothing to do with what languages the firmware supports and it will not add keyboard language support either."

So now I am confused. Any ideas on how to restore predictive text for the samsung keyboard? (Or why it disappeared in the first place considering I think I used the same firmware it had originally.)

Could I just completely replace the firmware? So could I just flash the XEU KE7 firmware on my TGY KG2 phone. I wonder whether that would solve things?

Current system info:

Android version - 2.3.3

Baseband version - I9100XXKG1

Kernel version - 2.6.35.7-I1900ZSKG2-CL361136

Build number - GINGERBREAD.ZSKG2

Thanks for any clues.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majkeljj:
Hi,

I have a question, I considering buying HTC Mozart. Please tell me is it worth to wait for HTC Radar or not? It will be huge difference in hardware or just cosmetical. I know it has Front Camera but, I also have it on my Touch Pro and never used it. Camera is also not important for me, I have profesional camera. I can buy unbranded HTC Mozart so there is Mango update for it and the price for Radar will be possibly twice. I'm not interested in bigger screens like 4,3 or 4,7". What you adviceing?

I heard also there will be Samsung Focus Flash with 1,5Ghz but i'm not sure if I need it or this processor change anything.

Thank you.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vangrieg:
The Radar will have a better battery and a newer processor, which in theory should give you better battery life. Otherwise I'd say these phones are pretty much the same.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josepmanel:
I've had the Mozart for 10 months and I'm in love with it. I've never had any problem whatsoever. I'd say the size of the screen is just perfect. If you can get it for half the price you would get the Titan, then get a Mozart!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majkeljj:
ewen half price of Radar;) and in the same price as HTC Trophy.

how long in hours or days mozart stay alive in one charging?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Localhorst86:
on average, I get 14-16 hours with one charge. I have managed to keep it running for about 45h once without a recharge. I wasn't using my phone at all for those 2 days and it still had a little charge left.

But with "normal" use, it's about 14-16 hours - not much but just enough for one day
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vangrieg:
It really depends on how often I turn it on. It usually lasts through the day, but only when I don't use it often.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FTC:
..with a Mugen Power 1800mAh battery I am coming close to 60 hours...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mktos:
I am not using my Mozart hardly - few text messages by day and a few phone calls, e-mail syncing over EAS hourly and it stays alive up to 3 days. Turning off data connection helps a lot.

And stopping playing too much helps as well ;-)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majkeljj:
thank you all. I wonder how good battery will have Radar;) I heard that Mango update bring some battery life improvements, anyone can confirm this?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vangrieg:
Those battery life improvements come with additional battery drains like multitasking, so on average nothing should change. :)

Basically there's one metric I look at. At some sites such as Anandtech, you can get benchmarks for battery life. There's a bunch of useless stuff there but one thing that matters is "3G Browsing". That's important because this mode utilizes all the battery hogs - the screen, the CPU, and data transfer. Thus, by looking and comparing this metric, you can get a general feeling of what another device will be like, for your current usage pattern (i.e. how often you turn it on and do things during the day mostly, while data transfer is enabled all the time).

The old-gen Snapdragon phones usually get about 4-5 hours of 3G browsing, while the iPhone 4 gets 8-9 hours if I remember correctly. So, using my Mozart sparingly, I have it last through the day, and iPhone 4 could last approximately twice as long.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majkeljj:
thank you for answer. so if I would like web browsing a lot I should consider buying iPhone. :( I don't like them every one want to have it:( but I will consider this especially I get offer of new iphone 4 only little more expensive then mozart (+1/3 of mozart price)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmian:
oh hell no! Dont get an iphone...get a windows phone!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vangrieg:
Ouch... I have blood on my hands...

You could wait for Radar battery tests.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majkeljj:
:) I will wait... don't worry. Personally I prefer WP.

but radar will be more expensive then mozart and iph

one4 which I can buy, i'm not sure if not too expensive for me :( around twice price of Mozart

thank you for your opinions.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny17:

Hi,

The most common cause of bootloops and freezes are incompatible mods.

Have you installed anything other than the ROM?

Did you wipe data,cache partition and dalvik before ROM installation?

Did you reinsatall titanium backup "SYSTEM" data?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jromankvcc:
WiFi

I believe he commented having problems with WIFI, which Sprint has no control over.

I have observed similar issues. It was exciting getting the phone to pop up on Spotify on my computer without doing anything, but shortly thereafter it seemed like the WIFI was not really working.

In my house, my Evo 3Ds have full bars when connecting to WIFI, and always works. Last night, on the E4gT, I had barely one bar (on the WIFI symbol) and I kept not being able to get emails. Then, I tried playing HBO Go and MAX Go, and I could only hear but not see anything. I got no error messages, except once got the "this is an audio only stream. For video, please get a better signal or connect to WIFI". I rechecked and I was connected to WIFI. I did a speedTest with Ookla, 22MBPS...Then I changed servers (in the Ookla program) and tried again. It went down to 400kbps.

The night before, both the WIFI and the 3G symbols were on at the same time. The 3G symbol didn't seem to be colored, so I figured it was on sleep mode, but then again, the speeds were slow so it could be WIFI was being screwy.

Can't guarantee there's something wrong with the WIFI, but it definitely felt like it had issues on my part. Whether that was connecting and looking for IP or something else, I'm not sure.

I'll keep an eye on the lookout for any answers to your issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JOHNGAETANO:
Thanks for the response. Between the WiFi issue and a separate issue I am having with dropped signals, this phone may be heading back to Sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rob97ss:
Had the same problem,wifi signal with no color 3g on,when i went into wifi settings its always scaning...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] compujock:
I'm having lots of wifi issues as well. I had to lay my e4gt down right next to my dual-band e4200 to get a good signal, but even with a good signal, the phone sometimes pauses for minutes when trying to download or browse the web. And if the wifi signal is weak, I get no data transfer at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard220:
WoW, so far I have had no issues with wifi. Hell even Kies in wifi mode works good.

Normal wifi linked to my router works great.

Wifi direct works great

Kies in wifi mode works great.

I have never missed a email or txt msg. Streaming audio and video from the web is great, no stutter or issues to report. Grabing apps from the market is super fast.

I am with Time Warner and my internet speed is set to 15 meg down with burst to 30 meg down - I get a solid 15 meg down, 1 meg upload solid.

I am using both wired and wireless with my Linksys router.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jake21:
It might help (statistically) if folks with/without wifi problems noted which signal was connecting (g/b/n/2.4ghz/5ghz/...)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jromankvcc:
3G instead of WIFI

I'm guessing you're into something there.

WIFI on, 3G icon shows => using 3G instead of WIFI.

I've also noticed those "minute" delays on using 4G. 4G gets up to 5 MBPS at my office. Evo 3D was getting up to 6.5MBPS. However, the wind could be blowing north instead of south, or a bird could have passed by the 4G signal path or...<insert silly remarks here>

Nonetheless, I get 4G. But even then, I'll open my mail to check a message and I'll have to wait for a minute and nothing will happen. Go back to inbox, then back to the message, nothing. Signal shows 4G on Zzz status as indicating that I'm not trying to use it (but is available). When it works, it's fast, but then it does not always work, which shows concern. So if we have problems with WiFi, and 4G, and 3G connection sucks, for a phone specially designed to be a multimedia monster...it's hard to stream without issues...

I'll be doing some more tests. 14 day return policy sucks, but have silly Best Buy protection plan, and I'm guessing they might still abide to their own 30 day return policy for Rewards members...

Now, I've heard of people complaining about complete crash of their radio, where there will be no signal whatsoever to make/receive calls, sms, data, etc. I haven't experienced these, and I'm still on stock, and I probably just jinxed myself too...sigh... But I wonder if the two issues are somehow related.

It could be software related, maybe need an update, or a better-than-original kernel, or who knows.

I did do the following changes:

RTSP Proxy Address changed to 0.0.0.0

RTSP Proxy Port to 0

HTTPPD Proxy Address to 0.0.0.0

HTTPPD Proxy Port to 0

But I still have same issues.

In the other hand, I can go to the HBOGo website and somewhat see videos (it's very cumbersome).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard220:
My Linksys router model = WRT54GL

Channel = channel 6 - 2.437 GHZ

Now how do you find out what signal I am connected with since I am using "mixed" wireless network mode.

Note in my wireless network mode I only have 4 settings -

a. disabled

b. mixed

c. B-only

d. G-only

So by the looks of it I can only do B and G modes on my Linksys router.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] compujock:
Well this is very interesting. I sat in the family room with my old epic 4g in one hand and my new e4gt in the other hand. epic 4g doesn't do 5ghz so I used 2.4ghz N for both phones. My epic 4g had 5 bars on wifi and my e4gt had 1 bar side by side. I ran a speed test on both phones. My epic 4g got 15mbs (15,000k) down and 3mbs (3000k) up. My e4gt got 1.5mbs (1500k) down and 1.5mbs (1500k) up. So, my new super phone is exactly 10 times slower on my home wifi, apparently due to very low signal. I tried my e4gt on 5ghz N as well, but it was even slower. Not good. I may have to return the e4gt and keep the old Epic 4g. I like the new phone, but the wifi and 3g signal issues won't work for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JOHNGAETANO:
I wow, 10 times slower. Obviously this is a major flaw, but why isnt' everyone having the problem? I actually drained my battery yesterday trying to connect to WiFi
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eyecon82:
Supposedly they stopped giving out free raves from now on on
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] compujock:
It would be great if others would test theirs and report back. Maybe I got a lemon and need to return it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gksmith:
My problem with WiFi is it isn't switching from one channel to another. I have 3 wireless access points with the same SSID on 3 different channels. The phone locks onto the first one and never switches to a better signal unless the signal degrades to 0. All my other wireless devices will switch as I roam around the building.

Also, I've noticed that even if I am sitting next to the wireless access point, my signal meter never reads more than a 3 ^ symbols.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jaygraffix:
I just got a free Rave last month, service in my area sucked so bad they pretty much had no choice but to give me one, Maybe they stopped giving them out cause eventually everyone would have them. I'm in a non 4G city and my speeds are horrible, almost useless. Verizon's LTE looks mighty good right now...and the caps don't bother me cause I barely use 2 gigs a month. So a 5gig plan would be a good cushion...

But about the wifi, in my basement which is right below where I have my router I had one bar of wifi and it was SLOOOOOW. When I went right next to the router the speeds were top notch. Sometimes I like to sit outside and mess around on my phone, but I highly doubt the signal will even reach the phone through an Insulated wall if it has trouble going through a non insulated floor... My Epic 4G never had that Issue...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eyecon82:
The change was just effective last week check out the sprintusers.com thread. They are cutting out all discounts prior to the iphone launch
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jaygraffix:
Just out of curiosity....Could someone Use the speedtest.net and run a test on 3G no 4G and post back what their UPLOAD speed was. Mine is 75 kbps and that is way too slow...if others have this issue then I know it's messed up, but if it's mine, then I need to head to a sprint store...I started a thread about this, lots of people read it, but no one posted one comparison...a simple test and a simple reply....easy does it...thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vegasrich:
Is wifi supposed to say scanning the whole time?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jaygraffix:
Then it looks like I got one just in time then. Cause it helps so much, I can be anywhere in my house even in my basement and I have almost full bars. But ever since I got the E4GT I can't get the damn uploads to get past 100 kbps I seen other people don't have this problem...what gives? Is it possible to have a bug in mine that affects the upload speed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Same problems on wifi for me. I returned my last phone cause of the wifi problem and this one is the exact same way

The Evo3D Killer!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Erislover:
No, absolutely not. This is really the problem. The phone will connect and then start to rescan for connections seconds later. It still says connected, but scanning too. Other symptoms: wifi icon switches between 1-2 bars, even though it was a solid 3 yesterday for the hour I used it at work. Also, connection fails every time. I'm not getting ANY data through to the phone. Regular cell signal is fine, as are 3g and 4g...

I mentioned above that I connected at work yesterday and the connection was amazing...ridiculously quick. I went home and made no changes to my phone, except that I ran battery calibration for the first time and I uninstalled NOVA 2, neither of which should really affect wifi connection.

Not sure what could be happening, but something in the phone is causing this...not a problem with the network or anything.

I am rooted and using zedo's kernal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vegasrich:
So I guess we wait for a fix.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wingzfan:
I got mine free Friday . No fees, no charge. Hell I honestly didnt even ask for the damn thing. Just made a comment that service sucks now.

Heres the catch. The thing is still provisioning. Has yet to obtain signal
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
I used to have that problem with my work's WIFI on my EVO 4G. Sometimes I would get DHCP to give me an IP address right away but most other times it would be stuck on "obtaining ip address." My solution was to download "wifi aid" or "wifi static" and add a static ip address for work and use dhcp for all other connections. Worked like a charm. For some odd reason, I don't have that problem yet for my E4GT...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] compujock:
I'm getting terrible 3G with the e4gt as well. At home I get about 200k down and 75k up. Whereas my old Epic 4G gets around 800k down. At work my e4gt gets under 100k down and about 50k up. It's so slow that it's almost not worth using at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -zd:
I am having that *exact* problem. I have two ap's in my house, and I can't get the e4gt to switch between them at all. I have to switch between profiles manually(why the same ssid has multiple profiles is beyond me, btw), or turn wifi off and back on again.

I have found this as a generic android bug, but my feeling is that it's specific to the e4gt. My evo, iPad, laptop, etc switch just fine.

I wonder if anyone knows of a system setting that we can adjust to make it switch before the signal is zero?
