DONT get the galaxy s version.

It works but kinda limited... Still better than nothing.

Also, if you remap, you lose long press.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ericizzy1:
lose long press of what?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zoidpilot:
Long press of home key, long press of search key... Home key brings up task manager, search key brings up voice command. You would lose that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
Has anyone gone in and looked at actually 'physically remapping' the keys.

All I want is to switch out Home and Menu. Plus, if they are actually just switched on the board, there would be no long-press loss.

Eff it, I'm gonna give it a shot.

Update: Nah, forget that... Once I got up in there, I saw that the leads from the cap keys to its controller are all underneath the digitizer, and that is hard-glued to the edge of the board chassis. I'm not going in THAT deep, lol.

Oh well, a shot was given.

:-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ericizzy1:
not on my phone. they are both working for me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caj27:
I would love it if I could set more "long-press" buttons on my phone. Like if I could Long-press the menu button to bring up my call history or something like that.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prjkthack:
There is no method for remembering passwords in IE9.

That being said, if you choose to remember login information and you allow cookies in your browser, you shouldn't have too much hassle staying logged into places that you have done so. For example, I log in to Google, have the webpage save my login info, and next time I use Google, i am still logged in. Same for Facebook, Hotmail, Windows Live, Twitter, Foursquare, or whatever else. As long as you have cookies enabled, you should stay logged into the sites (unless of course the site doesn't permit such things).

I am an avid android fan, and I plan on staying an android user.

This post is out of pure technical curiosity.

How do you guys think the incoming iphone 5 will stack up compared to our phones? How do you think it will stack up compared to the nexus prime?

I am just looking for a good discussion.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
As far as I know, if Samsung is supplying it's parts, it should be on par with the SGSII.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
Hardware wise = A little lower specs than our phones.

Software wise = Outdated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BlueGoldAce:
I don't believe samsung is supplying as much as usual.

The processor is unique to apply.

The screen will be unique to apply, etc.

Honestly, I don't see the internals of the phone matching/ or at least outpacing the sgsII. But I do wonder how the screen will stack up. Yes, our screen is great, but the lower resolution, and the fact that apple makes great screens....may well spell a win for apple.

In terms of software...we all know that IOS is very fluid. But honestly, how much can a phone be more fluid then our epic 4g touch? This phone is ridiculously smooth. I didn't know such performance was achievable on android 2.3.

We also know ios is looking to narrow the gap in terms of software features with a revamp notification area, etc. But, correct me if I am wrong, I believe apple will still lack turn by turn navigation....which is a big deal to me. The rumored voice control will be nice, but nothing way ahead of what android already offers.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BlueGoldAce:
Which phone will be outdated? Why?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] QWIKSTRIKE:
Not wanting to be rude but who cares unless you are thinking of buying an iPhone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BlueGoldAce:
Did you read the post? The purpose was to facilitate discussion.

You honestly don't have to read it, or reply to it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] QWIKSTRIKE:
I read it, but the still same thing comes to my head....who cares. I don't plan on buying one so to me why post about something that won't build up the ET4G or any android device. This should be in the apple forums lol....just saying.:cool::rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BlueGoldAce:
So again, I repeat, don't reply. Just leave it alone.

If no one cares, let the thread die, and I apologize for anyone I bothered.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] theremix:
Well I am with you here, you can trigger the discussion about something and you never know when some one with some inside news or a link might chime in.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spencer88:
Software? I couldn't care less about.

Hardware...that's what I want to know. I'm curious as to what the screen will be. Bigger? Same size?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jvtechnyc:
iPhone 5

Im more the Android fan, but i must say, the internal hardware of the new iphone 5 is certainly impressive from what i've read!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hayabusa1300cc:
People lately really been taking advantage of free speech, like it's that important to let us know you don't care.. Gtfo

That is not this threads intention anyway.

Now on topic, I honestly feel with only the release of the gs2 we will do well against the tyrant apple lol

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
How come someone give an opinion on how the SGS2 will stack up against the iPhone 5 when no one knows what is even in the iPhone 5. Seems like a pointless discussion........
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdszoke:
Honestly on the hardware front, nothing can touch the galaxy s 2 with the mali gpu and exynos processor. Well, nothing in a smartphone that is. But, the Ipad2 with the PowerVR SGX 540 and A5 processor wins in all the benchmarks that anandtech threw at it. A natural progression would predict that Apple will throw the A5 processor in the Iphone 5. So hardware wise if this is true than the Iphone 5 will be a beast. But, it really is going to come down to preference. Because anything you throw @ my epic touch, the epic touch throws it right back with grace. Most likely the Iphone 5 will do the same. Performance wise I dont think we will see a difference. So, it will come down to software preference. I own an Epic touch because I wanted the best Android experience out there. And in my opinion I have that right now. But, some people like the simple to use IOS. I plan to get my girl the Iphone 5 so she can just use it and stop bothering me for messing with her phone (my old OG evo 4g).

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoMatt:
If the iPhone 5 indeed has the A5 dual core processor (same that's in the iPad 2), and they haven't clocked up the speed much, I wouldn't expect much. I used an iPad 2 for a while and after getting the GS2 it doesn't compare. The performance of the GS2 destroys the performance of the iPad 2 (different devices, I know, but I've never owned and iPhone...)

Also, iOS has a LONG way to go before it can compete with Android. It was awesome about 2 years ago, but it was left in the dust long ago.

My biggest gripe about Android was that it was buggy and it took a lot to keep it working properly, but with this phone that's not a problem anymore. I have yet to find a reason to root (rooting would be nice for certain things, but it doesn't feel necessary like it has with other Android devices I've owned).

So how will the 3 compare? I think: Prime > GS2 > iPhone 5. With the gap between the Prime and GS2 tiny, of course... ;)

---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------

I guess I've never looked at pure benchmarks, and maybe it's just the differences between Android and iOS, but the iPad2 seems less snappy and more cumbersome than this phone.

Granted, Apple has had 6-8 months to work out bugs with the A5, so I'd imagine they'll throw an updated OS with the iPhone 5.

Though there is a reason I'm typing this on an Android forum and not an iOS forum... I just like Android better.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gtuansdiamm:
Apple is proly gonna do what sammy did to them

Wait for competitor to release product

Revise product to one up competitor

Release product

Ex ipad 2 galaxy tab 10.1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mlin:
I've been wondering if they do in fact increase the screen size if they will increase the resolution to keep with their 'retina display.' To be honest, the samoled screen can't be beat in many areas, however higher resolution and pixel density is very key and because of that I actually prefer the screen of the ns4g to the sgs2. One reason I hope the prime isn't released with an ungodly large display.

tapa tapa tapa
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdszoke:
I also own an Ipad 2. I bought it for my girl. When it comes to web browsing, even though technically the Ipad 2 is faster hardware, my Epic Touch browses alot faster than the Ipad 2. Actually my girl complains about the web browsing speed of the Ipad 2. That is because the way Samsung optimized the stock browser on the Eipc Touch. Samsung actually uses the same technique on the back end that Apple uses with their Safari browser. Difference is Samsung does it alot better. I know this through everyday use of both products.

But, that is beside the point. I am in the same Android forum as you are because I am still more akin to my precious and highly customizable Android OS. :D

X-Scope PRO no 1 for me for sure, i also like Miren and Opera but always use X-Scope.
[Android Apps and Games] Dungeon47:
I was using Miren happily until the last update to Dolphin HD. Now it's just pulled slightly ahead. Most of the Android browsers are great in their own way. it's hard to go wrong with almost any of them. Good poll idea, OP.

Stock is fine with me otherwise I really enjoy Dolphin Mini. They are all good haha
[Android Apps and Games] rdrrlabs:
Just to clarify, maybe HTC modifies the stock browser, but have grown annoyed with it not maintaining open windows state. And refreshing the current page upon returning.

Thanks to all for answers and votes.
[Android Apps and Games] onestoploser:
I've tried them all, but lately I've been using Baidu beta. I can't change the settings because they're all in chinese but the browser is fast as hell. Ninesky Browser kicks ass too and is more or less unknown at the moment. I recommend that if you haven't tried Ninesky yet you should. It's a phenomenal browser that looks like Google Chrome.

I've tried Opera Mobile, Dolphin HD, Ninesky, Miren, Boat Mini and Maxthon.

I'm on the fence, but I think my favorite so far is Maxthon. I (would) like Opera Mobile a lot, but it seems to be the only browser that is not compatible with the "ARMv6 version" of Flash.

[Motorola Triumph] 533y4:
I have a custom Android Market that is really nice looking. I want to keep this one, but the Market app keeps auto updating it everytime I open the app...

I've already tried the terminal "pm disable com.android.vender.updater" thing.

I've already tried to "freeze" the Market Updater app.

I've already tried to "remove/uninstall" the Market Updater app.

I've tried to clear (reg/Dalvik) cache via recovery.

Is there no way to stop the updates? What can be done??? Help!
[Motorola Triumph] austrie:
The theme market your using most(probably) not developed/modded(maybe not completed), most themed markets prevents itself from being updated.

Edit: Are you using a ROM? If so, then which?
[Motorola Triumph] 533y4:
I'm using Princely's Blue, black, white 2.7.5 rom... The Market version included with the ROM is 3.0.x and it keeps trying to goto 3.1.3.

I love the transparent blue, and not the ugly green/grey/black market... : /
[Motorola Triumph] austrie:
Hm, cause I use BBW as my daily ROM, and I always have blue market, I know when the theme version isn't very modded it allows market to update itself, but I'm sure it's not the market this time because I use it too. Did you follow full install steps, that is main reason some system apps don't install? Your second option is, pull the Vending.apk from the V.2.7.5 zip and put it on your SD Card, Go to settings the applications, go to market, then click uninstall updates, if you get the themed market then good, but if it uninstalls the whole market app and you don't have market anymore, go to es file explorer or astro explorer(any file explorer than can ), then install from your SD Card. You should be ok from those steps, but if it fails by some strange reason, then reflash ROM full steps.

Edit: Before doing those steps let it update itself first, also, it's trying to update to 3.1.5 now.....
[Motorola Triumph] 533y4:
I did the full install steps but originally installed RBT first... then the BBW over the Red... Could this cause it? Also, I've already uninstalled updates, and it just keeps reverting to the regular market right after I accept the TOS...

I think I'm gonna have to reflash the full ROM again...

{[EDIT]}

The other issue I have is that the battery icon in the status bar keeps chainging between a percentage and a battery icon... Another over install issue?
[Motorola Triumph] austrie:
Try reflashing them full steps, if the steps above don't work for you. The battery and percent is my "fault", it turns to a buttery icon at 30, 50, 70, and 90 percent. Not sure which looks better though, the light blue battery looks pretty nice, it matches, but the battery icon is a bit more helpful being as the number percent.
[Motorola Triumph] 533y4:
Reflashed the phone with the BBW again... (no over installing this time). As soon as the phone booted I uninstalled the Market Updater and it still updated as soon as I pressed "Agree" on launch... WTF?!

Other then the fighting market place and the every switching battery icon, I love the ROM... : ) Faster then my Epic 4G and Droid Charge by a land slide.

{[EDIT]}

I uninstalled the update, and the blue market came back (again)... But it keeps making my accept the TOS... and then boom! Updated...
[Motorola Triumph] austrie:
OK, when you have the blue market don't except TOS yet, go to titanium backup, backup the blue market, then accept TOS, If it updates then let it update, after it updates then go to titanium backup and restore the blue market.

I'll try to get a up to date market in V2.8.
[Motorola Triumph] primetechv2:
I downgraded to the 2.x version of the market (before any fancy crap, definitely before videos and books)... guess what? It's fast and responsive.

Definitely going to think hard about going to the latest version.
[Motorola Triumph] 533y4:
No go... Removed updates. Made a back up. Then started the app and accepted TOS. Let it update. Then tried to restore.

Android won't restore over the new version... Keeps saying "Application not Installed". Tried to delete just the app, but when I restored the TOS was needed again... Was a good idea tho.

{[EDIT]}

Just tried something else... I directly replaced the com.android.vender(-1).apk apps over the whole rom... Seems to work for now... Wish me luck...

{[EDIT 2]}

Stayed for about 10-20 mins and then was replaced... What is causing this?
[Motorola Triumph] primetechv2:
Theoretically you COULD delete the app, but that seems a little risky...something you should only try after a full backup (and something I would only try with a lot of Red Bull early in the morning)...

Or theme the latest market apk too. If it is recompiled, and assigned with a different key than the One Google uses, it might stick. But then, you may be voiding your ability to use Marketplace too...
