[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] raichur0xx0rz:
The stuff you mentioned would all depend on what you do with the device or what you expect from it.

LOS issues, as mentioned so many times already, are primarily experienced by those of us early adopters who have rooted. The phone pretty much just came out so not all of the custom kernals/ROMs are bug free. I'm sure the LOS will iron itself out over time.

If you are looking to just run it stock, battery usage is always YMMV. I'm using an Epic 4G's 1500mAH battery and can make it through a day (6 AM to 2AM). But one day I might text a lot more, and another day I barely use the phone (in which case I end the day at around 70%). So it will always depend on your usage.

Gaming I can't really comment on as I don't see the appeal of playing games on your phone, especially since it burns through the battery so much quicker that way.

---

I myself rooted pretty much right away, and once I had the LOS bug I just returned to stock and it's alright. I personally don't like TouchWiz, but I don't really experience any major issues. Mine doesn't seem as fast as some make it out to be, but I still enjoy it.

You may want to wait until the iPhone 4S/5 announcement before making a decision.

And I would ignore the EVO 3D, btw. Photon, GSII, or iPhone 5 I would say.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnMacky:
Hi! I just want to know what is the EXT4 that is saying in most of the ROMS like "homebase", "Aura" and etc.? And what is the EXT4 CONVERTER With fauxs kernel that is in the homebase additional downloads? Does the ROM that you choose automatically convert your filesystem to EXT4? thanks
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiredPirate:
You have three questions lets make them numerical..

1.) http://bit.ly/rjxoTd

2.) converts filesystem to ext4

3.) no. unless it says it does, then yes.
[Venue Pro General] MJCS:
While this version of mango might not have the ICS, I just confirmed that the following method works to get USB tethering with Mango.

The following works for Windows 7 x64 (Using either the HTC Drivers or the Qualcomm drivers). All my machines are x64 so I am not sure if this works for x86 systems.

Tether:

Download the HTC Drivers from the bottom of this post[/url]

Or try the Qualcomm drivers attached to this thread if those don't work.

Extract the zip

The XAP dosent work with the DVP so ignore it for now.

Open the phone dialer.

Dial ##634# (Engineering Mode)

If you do not see a wine glass when booting, you need to remove the old EM app and then dial

Slide open your keyboard

Tap the black area of your screen

Press QWERTYUIOP

Scroll down to service center

Click on Composite

Type in *#301#

Wait for your phone to reboot

Install the drivers for the phone with the files in the zip. You do not need to edit these INF files.

Note that you have to right click the unknown device, update drivers, browser, let me pick, all, I have disc, and then browse to where you extracted your drivers

In the device manager (you should be there already) right click on the first HTC USB modem and go to properties

Then go to advanced and enter +CGDCONT=1,"IP","EPN.TMOBILE.COM" into the Extra initialization commands box (Note that these settings are for t-mobile. If you do not use t-mobile please download and find your connection info at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21421101. Replace epn.tmobile.com with your carriers connection info.

Click ok

In your task tray, right click on the network icon and go to network and sharing center

click on Set up a new connection or network

Setup dial-up

HTC USB Modem (Or Qualcomm Usb Modem)

In the phone number field type *99#

Click connect

Have fun

Untether

If you want to untether, follow steps 6-11 and click on Zune to bring your phone back into normal operating mode

Notes

You will notice that there are 4 drivers. Two of them are USB (should be the first two) and the other two should be the diagnostic drivers (COM Ports). The diagnostic drivers currently do nothings so you really dont need to install them.

If you are installing the Qualcomm drivers, make sure you select the Qualcomm HS-USB Modem 9202 and not the Qualcomm HS-USB Ethernet Adapter 9202 driver

Thank me if this works for you :)
[Venue Pro General] bbowman:
thanks for this, trying right now. At step #13 when you enter in the Composite Mode password, I see no OK button or any way to apply the password. Slide out keyboard Enter button does nothing. How is this done so that the reboot will happen?
[Venue Pro General] MJCS:
Woops it is *#301# :D
[Venue Pro General] bbowman:
thanks. I'm running Win7 32bit and the extracted drivers don't work for steps 15 and 16. Also, when in Composite Mode there are 4 "unknown device" listings in Device Manager. I tried updating the driver for each of these with the USBModeSwitch x86 driver and it didn't work.

any ideas?
[Venue Pro General] MJCS:
Not sure. Yes there are 4 devices: 2 serial devices and 2 modems.

Try to see if the x86 drivers were modified correctly.

Or check out this:
[Venue Pro General] palmbluetooth:
Thanks.

Works perfectly.
[Venue Pro General] bbowman:
are you running a 64 or 32bit OS? Still unable to get mine to work on my Win7 32bit laptop.
[Venue Pro General] Kloc:
Works perfectly for me on Windows 7 Ultimate x64, I had to add the modem to all the unidentified drivers and then setup a connection on each one to see which one was the right one to use. If you are only setting up the connection on one of the drivers then you may be picking the wrong one.
[Venue Pro General] bbowman:
I've tried all of them. has anyone gotten this to work on a 32bit system?
[Venue Pro General] MJCS:
I will try this on my dad's x86 windows laptop tonight.
[Venue Pro General] HRQ.SLV:
I've tryed, but it failed to work here on a Vista 32bit... :(
[Venue Pro General] MJCS:
I just added Qualcomm drivers I found online. They work the same but I thought it would be better than the HTC Drivers everyone else is using. I did upload some x86 Drivers I found. They should work but I have no way to test.

Let me know if you have any questions.
[Venue Pro General] Kloc:
Now that tethering is working well. I wonder if internet sharing will ever be available for our phone. :D
[Venue Pro General] domineus:
rubbing salt on that wound eh :p

=( you know it won't
[Venue Pro General] bbowman:
the Qualcomm drivers worked like a champ on my Win7 32bit system. hooray for Mango tethering! thanks dude!

[Venue Pro General] yeungl:
If you have a chance to read the service manual posted by Negrbob, you will found: WIFI chip: integrated Broadcom solution of BCM4329 WiFi/Bluetooth/FM SoC

Hey, this is important for WIFI tethering. Since the manual is created on 2011/03/04, is that mean phone manufactured after that date should have BCM4329?
[Venue Pro General] ZappiestOyster:
I am on Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, and can't get this to work. Have tried both the drivers without any success. I have received two different errors: 692 and 651. I am not sure about the second error number, however, it was some cryptic hardware-related message when dialing the number.

Any help is appreciated.
[Venue Pro General] MJCS:
Errors when you dial *99#? My instructions were for T-Mobile btw. You carrier might varry.
[Venue Pro General] ZappiestOyster:

[Venue Pro General] MisterPhilleh:
- HELP! -

I can't seem to get this to work.

I can't get past step 16, becauseI can't get my computer to reconize the phone, or it's drivers. I've tried the x64 ones provided in the first post, also the 32x ones posted shortly after, even downloaded the HTC ones and edited them myself. Nothing seems to do the trick!

From Control Panel, I click on Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers > and under unspecified devices is "USB Composite Device", which I'm assuming is in fact my Venue Pro, which is right next to a greyed-out option that is my phone when it's not in Composite mode. I then right click it, select proporties, select the hardware tab, select the proporties button, select change settings, then update driver, then "browse my computer for driver software", which is where I've selected and tried any driver that has any chance of working, then hit next, and it tells me there was no driver software to be found, no matter what I select.

I'm sorry for the long, drawn-out post, it's just that I really need help for this. I'm running 32bit Windows 7 Ultimate.

Also, I noticed the download link for "USBModeSwitch by Ansar" is broken, or am I missing something?
[Venue Pro General] zorroz:
I've upgrade my DVP to Mango, but I'm very disappointed that there is not available tethering option in settings, as new wp7 phone...

yes, you would add 'pp.vodafone.co.uk', or 'wap.vodafone.co.uk' to that, and use the proper user name password credentials.

On a side note, I could not get it working on my Rogers phone until I did some researching around, apparently I needed to add "AT" before the "+CGDCONT=1..." It's working like a charm now. Thanks!

[Venue Pro General] jaetiu:
This is where I'm currently stuck at. I'm currently in the Philippines using Sun Cellular as my carrier with unlimited internet on my Dell Venue Pro.

Should I still be following the same steps as far as the information to put into the extra initialization box goes?

+CGDCONT=1,"IP","EPN.TMOBILE.COM"

I'm guessing no. This is the information I found about my carrier. I'm not sure which one to use. Mind you I've been using a Treo 750 for years now and tethering was so much easier - so all this new technology is making my head hurt

SUN Settings:

Internet Tethering

APN: minternet (fbband for SBW and CSU)

Username: <blank>

Password: <blank>

I'm guessing this is what mine should look like

+CGDCONT=1,"IP","minternet"

Also another question - when setting up the new connection I'm following these steps.

- > open network and sharing center

- > set up a new connection or network

- > set up a dial-up connection

the window has the following things to enter

dial-up phone number:

user name:

password:

connection name:

according to the first post where do i choose the modem?
[Venue Pro General] MJCS:
You will need to find the conneciton string for your carrier.
[Venue Pro General] jaetiu:
what exactly would be the "connection string" in your example for t mobile?
[Venue Pro General] F0l3ert:
I posted a link that a few pages back. Try one of these:

AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","wap.voicestream.com"

AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet2.voicestream.com"

AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","epc.t-mobile.com"

with wap as the username, no password

[Venue Pro General] Bongo2k:
Ok, to find out which device in the device manager is the ACTUAL modem go into the properties for each device, select the diagnostics tab and hit query modem. If you get an error it isn't the right device in device manager, the correct device will report back strings in the box to the left.

If you get error 619 after "registering computer on the network" do what someone said before and disable the data connection from your phone.

There is one step that is not mentioned in the tutorial that I stumbled upon by accident and it is what makes this work on the Dell Venue Pro. I don't know if this is needed by everybody because I've read many reports that it works but I needed to do it. You have to go to your phone's settings>cellular>data connection and turn it off (leave 3G connection on). That's it, disable data and everything works perfectly.
