[Epic 4G General] Comando156:
I have had my epic since day one of launch. I have had it replaced 2 times due to problems. I love the keyboard, and the physical features and look of the phone. But software wise, this phone has been my worst android phone. Little support from samsung, and a slow to develop and grow rom community. Now I'm not speaking down on any of the developers, they are the best, and do what they can with the little samsung has given them. But, comeing from a g1, to a droid, to a nexus one... the ammount of roms in this community to the epic, it does not even compare. I really don't see a phone worth jumping ship for right now though, maybe epic touch, or the next nexus...
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Youve deduced all of that from my post? No sir, all thanks go to you for showing me what a true radical thinker is able to conjure up from me reminiscing! :O
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Yeah nothing is getting me as hype to upgrade as I was from the hero to epic

I'm pretty sure the quad cores will allow me to change my previous statement though
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Yeah its not worth updating yet.

Everything out there IS an upgrade,technically, but only marginally.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
ever heard of multi quote?
[Epic 4G General] vwags:
Not trying to annoy. Just getting tired of so many people saying what a crap pile the Epic is because there are newer phones out and I thought the OP was trying to say that the Epic started with good hardware but had several issues that have been improved and hopefully will be improved even further meaning that the Epic is still a viable phone and getting even better.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Ever heard of the XDA app?
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
Damn. You even pay for the premium version, and no multi-quote? Haha. You know what they say about a fool and his money?

Honestly i loved eclair officiail D118 more then froyo official.

It was a lot smoother and cleaner the only thing i didn't like is lack of flash the annoying bug where you can have headphones plugged in and unplug and answer the phone and no apps to sd...

But it was less buggy to me
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Really? I liked ec05 a lot more than di18. My only quipe was with the lack of flash which was adressed with froyo and that's why ec05 ismy favorite :P

Its all the stability of di18 and THEN some lol

[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
U talking about ec05 stability? :confused:

I just really want gingerbread for the AIO mod and ill be staying stock rom maybe with a nice kernal that has voodoo. If it is as smooth and less bugs as D118. Ill be happy stock.

Ive been on ACS rom and have weird random issues that i never had on bonsai. I jumped ship cause the bonsai rom freezes your phone.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
LOL yeah ec05 wasn't a problem for me. But hen again I ran with ComputerKid's Urban rom which kept me charged for 2 days straight with me usuing my phone normally. I didn't get anywhere nea that even with the most optimized di18 lol so I guess that's why I'm a litle biased

But yeah I agree. I can see me sticking with stock dedex official gb when itgets dropped because then people will actually work to optimize, overclock and undervolt it.

I mean, I've been running stock eh06since it was leaked and I haven't looked back yet. I don't even get reboots so you can imagine how happy I will be with official gb lol
[Verizon Droid Charge] flyinj54:
Does anyone remove the sim before flashing modems only? I normally haven't just curious of your thoughts if its a good idea. Also if you do remove sim do you uncheck auto reboot so you can shut the phone down before installing sim after the flash? Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
no I don't remove it, I'd imagine you need to leave it in so it can properly flash the firmware since LTE and CDMA are at least partly controlled by the sim... also I would recommend leaving the battery in to flash in Odin so yes uncheck the auto reboot box

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AngryUndead:
Hey,

I've got the stock 3.2.1 image from this thread and I'm trying to figure out how to take a custom compilation of Tiamat's kernel and put in on there.

I'm willing to use Moray (2.2.1) as well if it is easier.

I've got the kernel compiled (using the config from Moray) and with my custom kernel configuration. (I could easily do this again with the config from the stock device if that would work better.)

How can I put it on the device? I have the zImage, CWM, ROM Manager, and root. I just can't find anywhere (been searching for hours) what I need to do in a way that will work for the stock image. It also seems that most of the other posts referencing this are somewhat out of date.

Please, any help would be appreciated.

(Edit: has it really been two years since I last posted?)

Hi and thanks for this great forum

i've noticed that my htc desire has >300ms to all the web pages when screen is off, when screen is on it goes to 1 to 10ms

i've tested this with Ping application which is free on Market.

Is this a normal behaviour ? i don't use any application to save battery

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Cant speak for sense, but most AOSP kernels have this behaviour where the signal strenght drops when the screen is off, which can affect latency.

I tried to push the file via root explorer and I did. I then rebooted and had no luck. It just shows the hangout post and no link or message about not having a camera. I also ran fix permissions in ROM Manager and rebooted and still nothing. I am running the latest CM7 Mod and running it on the Droid 1. Any help would be great!

Any progress?

My wife's EVO 4g is also at CM7.2 rc1. Any progress on getting this to work? Is it possible to move back to an earlier version of cm7 to get it going? As it stands now, I have to take it all the way back to cm6 for it to work.

What are some recommended build.prop edits that will help with the Droid 3?

increase the davlik heap?

putting the home launcher into memory?

forcing the GUI to be run through the GPU?
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
I tried editing mine with some info gathered from other phone's edits, and I ended up with a soft brick. Restored with CWM, but I sadly can't say what killed it. I tried increasing the heap and putting the home launcher into memory, but I also did a bunch other things.
[Motorola Droid 3] miciic:
sad that noone is posting recommendations :(

it would be nice if someone could find that function that disables gsm signal when you get no service for a while... maby its not in build.prop... but anyway it keeps happening.. when my phone looses connection it connect back only after reboot..

and i have done the fix that vas here in other thread about disabling verizon option in it!

and maby there is some way to disable some verizone apps to be lunched at startup becouse some of them are allways runing on background!!

so please give some recomendations, i think im not the onlyone who could use them :)

nice volume buttons on the side.. iphone KIRF.

I like my Streak 5, but I'll never buy anything from Dell again due to their lack of technical support.

i wont buy another dell phone again & im stuck with this one till march (18 month contract on o2)

i fancy the htc rhyme next but ill see whats on o2 at the time
[Streak 5 General] diomed:
I think I'm done with Dell. This might be a great device, but I really dislike their lack of developer support. Samsung is releasing source code before the devices are released. I think I prefer that attitude rather than begging like we've had to do with Dell.
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
In regards to H/W specs:

Basically dell is launching something similar to a HTC sensation, but with a SAMOLED instead of S-LCD. The specs beyond the display type are pretty similar.

Really those 4 points are all that really differentates any android phone:

The cpu+chipset:

Both devices: MSM8260 (3rd gen snap)

Display size/type/res

Sensation: 4.3" QHD S-LCD

Streak Pro: 4.3" QHD SAMOLED

Android Version:

Both Devices: Android 2.3.x

Cell freqs:

Streak Pro: 900/2100(?) (Possibly US/AWS like the venue, venue pro)

Sensation: 850/1700 or 900/2100

In regards to StageUI 2.0:

Stage UI differences:

StageUI 1.5:

Requires StageUI 1.5 launcher

Home screen page indicators: Dots at bottom

Up to 7 widget types

StageUI 1.6:

Requires StageUI 1.5 launcher

Home screen page indicators: Dashes at top

Up to 11 widget types

Stage UI1.7:

Requires no specific launcher

At least 6 widget types

StageUI 2.0:

Unknown, resembles StageUI 1.5 launcher (which is based on generic launcher2)

Unknown widget count

As the list states, 1.7 doesnt require a specific launcher, might be true of 2.0. Which ever it is, the press photo doesnt show any of the widgets.

In the event that it's rom is dumped after release I wouldnt imagine it being hard to port StageUI 2.0 back to SD2.3.

StageUI 2.0 might actually be useful on the Spro as the biggest complaint of StageUI is that it's horribly slow. Even if they did jack to make it faster a 3rd gen snap should very well be able to brute force it's way though it.

With regards to updates:

Keep in mind that the rom development is mostly outsourced to the manufacturer of the device dell gives specs:

Qisda

Streak 5

Streak 7

Venue

Venue Pro (?)

Pegatron

Streak 10

Unknown

Streak Pro

The kernel (for s5/7/venue, dont know about s10) is made by a 3rd company, stage ui is possibly made 4th company.

Qisda only seems to have a single team to support all 3 devices, and it's roughly broken down as:

85% on S5:

~27 official updates

57 known roms

GB update 'soon'

10% on S7:

1 official update

5 known roms

HC 3.2 'immenent'

5% on venue:

1 official update

8 known roms

no announced updates

It's mainly qisda+dell that's the reason updates are slow. It's ALSO the main reason the source drivers arnt available, there's half a dozen owners for the source code.

If dell selects a different manufacturer, or merely does not repeat what it did with the s5/7/venue it's possible for them to fix their act. But this isnt likely.

Currently the S10 is reasonably on track with regards to updates. (launched with 3.1 in august, with 3.2 being "immenent")

Also keep in mind by the time the Spro launches google will have likely released ICS/4.0 and the next nexus phone which will have very similar specs + ICS/4.0.
[Streak 5 General] flamewave:
Agree! I'll never buy anything from Dell again too.
[Streak 5 General] Azamatka:
Manil, this is a tremendous insight!
[Streak 5 General] Final5k:
Same here! I'll NEVER buy any phone from Dell even if they release a super phone - their lack of support for the Streak has left me with a bitter taste. Samsung Note is the way to go!
[Streak 5 General] sid81s:
Why does not Dell provide an update to GB for the existing Streak owners when it is providing GB out of box in the Pro version. I feel dejected. Lets put a collective appeal to Dell. May be that helps :(

[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
On a slightly unrelated note: the streak pro is unlikely to be the "opus one"

The leaked roadmap:

consisted of two slides, 1 of tablets (which dell internally refers the streak as) and 1 of phones.

The Streak pro is highly likely to be the "millenium" as it fits it's description more or less (excluding the ICS part, keep in mind the slides were made at the beginning of 2011, google didnt give a solid date for availability at that time)

The timeline is more or less reasonably accurate for things that released:

Venue: release

Venue pro: release

Venue pro MLK: Mango update

"Wrigley": Unannonuced venue pro sucessor

"Hancock": unannounced "millenium" varient(?)

"Millenium": Streak pro(?)

Streak: release

"opus one:" unannounced streak successor (possibly 5.3-5.5")

Streak 7: release

Streak 7 MLK: upcoming HC3.2 update

"Sterling": unannounced Streak 7 sucessor

"silveroak": unannounced device (possibly 8.9")

Streak 10: release

"gallo mlk": unannounced streak 10 HC3.2 update

"rosemount", "peju": unrelated windows tabs

Notice how the streak has no mlk, this was because at the time dell was still deciding if they were going to bother with GB for the s5 at all. GB for S5 is still unannounced, but it's "immenent" for specific carriers. It's very unlikely that it will ever roll out to all carriers.

Also note that the S5 is still being formally intoduced into new markets. Only last month did it launch in turkey and earlier in summer in pakistan. The newest markets will likely be supported until the end of the year. (these markets all use 00/retail roms)

Just be happy that the s5 is getting updates at all, the venue functionally had no updates in it's lifetime, and it was released half a year AFTER the S5

The s5 was also previously announced to be supported in china with an alternate os, which will extend it's lifetime if it launches.

The next devices that are likely to be announced is the "sterling", "hancock", and "wrigley" if they are still planned on being released.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] fibercut:
After installing the "Official Facebook" App I noticed that the social updates for the gallery were no longer working. I am presuming that the stock Moto Facebook program "FB Authenticator 2.3.4" is what provides the sync of contacts and social content to the device.

Here is a list of troubleshooting I have completed looking for any insight...

I proceeded to delete the official app and remove Facebook from "My Accounts" and rebooted the device.

FB contacts and contact pics disappeared.

Launched gallery added "social media account" selected the FB icon from My Accounts login was successful. Nothing

Looked at Moto "social networking" app and no FB updates only Linked In

Went to | settings>battery & data manager>data delivery> social applications and enabled Sync over Wifi only. Checked all applications "gallery" shows no FB updates or friends. "social networking" working. No FB contacts in contacts

Went to | manage apps>all>Facebook authenticator : storage and cache read all zeros 0.00 all options greyed out like app is not even running.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaikz:
I'm currently on 2.3.3, and don't want to unlock the bootloader due to warranty, so I wanted to try the Gingerbreak option, but my carrier doesn't seem to do OTA updates (currently no 2.3.4, no 2.3.3 when I got the phone), so I'd be stuck on an old firmware. If I do unlock the bootloader, how do I get root while keeping the stock ROM? I don't want to lose the native emulator.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
You dont loose the stock rom unlocking the bootloader. Just all your data. Furthermore the native emulator has nothing to do with the rom you use, each classic PS game comes with it's own emulator built into the .apk file.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaikz:
So I could use the FreeXperia ROM and PSXperia will still work?

Also, how do I backup my current stock ROM? Root, and backup with that recovery mode app off the market?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Yes as far as i know, as long as you install some prerequisite apps like preinstalledservices.apk. You can play the classic PS games on cyanogenmod :) You cannot use nandroid backup (from recovery) without unlocking your bootloader. There are some backup apps on the market but they all require root too. That recovery mode app you talk about, you mean rom manager? well atm rom manager is not compatinle with any of the 2011 xperia devices :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaikz:
Oh, so we have to install and backup ROMs through ADB? Does the ClockworkMod recovery work?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Clockworkmod recovey works, doomlords kernel comes with it embedded.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaikz:
Ok, so I was on 2.3.3, unlocked bootloader, everything was fine, then I flashed the play_modded.img using Fastboot as said in the "Root your Play" thread, it worked, but I booted the phone up to find that it's 2.3.2, old as hell, the UK version, won't recognise my New Zealand SIM, and everything is force closing. I reset to factory settings, still no SIM but most force closing was fixed. I noticed the MTP thing force closes though.

I'm now downloading the 2.3.3 UK ROM, but I want my original Vodafone 2.3.3 NZ/AUS ROM, then install Doomlords kernel for autoroot. SE PC Companion isn't showing an update option to restore to said ROM. ):

Edit: Installed the 2.3.3 UK ROM and Doomkernel and everything works fine! Thanks, AndroHero.
