[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kgbeezr1:
I've seen posts that discuss the data issue, but not with detailed meter readings. I've been here with the Epic4g and my Verizon Samsung Droid Charge side by side, both using 3G. Generally, the Charge reads around -98 dBm and the E4G reads around -101 dBm, but they both fluctuate. At almost the same signal strength (and sometimes the exact same) the Charge's data is perfectly usable, fast even, yet the E4G is completely unusable. It will make clear phone calls without dropouts, but data is a no-go. I realize they are different networks, but isn't dBm dBm? I've taken the E4G around to a few areas and i've noticed that data starts to become usable around -91 dBm. I also see it sometimes fluctuate back and forth rapidly from -106 dBm (no bars) to -64 dBm (full bars) sitting totally stationary.

On occasion when i'm in the house (normally around -101 dBm) i'll notice the E4G lose service altogether, and every time it comes back it's at -64 dBm (full bars) for around 5 seconds before reverting back to -101 dBm. So unless the signal meter is giving false readings, this phone is actually capable of great reception???

The reason for the tedious post is that i'm trying to decide if it's worth exchanging for another one. I want to believe that either I got an exceptionally bad one and that the exchange will be worth it, or that the data/reception issue really is software related and will be fixed, therefore making it worth forfeiting my 14 day return period. I bought it through Letstalk.com, so unless I let them hold $600 as ransom money, they won't cross ship an exchange (understandably). This means possibly 2 weeks without a phone which would be really difficult, but worth if it I scored one that functioned even a bit better. I was going to leave Verizon specifically for this device and I really want it to work out.

TIA

HTC has been really slow with updates, lately. They promised 2.3.3 for the desire early this year only to scrap it permanently by June. Who knows when HC update will come, but is it possible that HTC will continue its support for the Flyer with an ICS update?

One thing that I've admired about HTC and one of the reasons I decided to become their fanboy was that no matter how old a phone was, they continued supporting it. I remember a friend of mine had an HTC phone that he bought in 2004 and in 2007/2008 he still got updates for it. Now it seems they won't support a device for more than a year or two.

How long before they throw the HTC flyer away and decide its not upto tablet standards?

I believe ice cream sandwich is for phones and honey comb is for tablets.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nickiberli:
Ice Cream Sandwich will come for tablet and for smartphones.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dsf3g:
Well, there's a leaked Honeycomb build floating around out there, so that makes me feel that we'll probably at least see Honeycomb. My guess is that we haven't seen it yet becuase Google decided to realease a 3.2 build for 7" tablets not too long ago, and HTC is probably reworking their Honeycomb plans around that build instead of 3.1.

That said, I wouldn't expect to see years and years of suppport on these products. Manufacturers are treating tablets as devices that you keep for a couple of years and then upgrade. That's why we don't get user replaceable batteries, for instance. And I think that, given that the underlying OS is still in its infancy, that's probably a fairly reasonable assumption.

As the OS matures we might see people holding on to their tablets longer, and we might see longer support cycles. But as it is now, if you plan on keeping your tablet for 5 years, you're probably best off buying an iPad. Since Apple makes so few models it's easy for them to support older devices. Plus the company really values customer loyaty (that's the only way they were able to stay afloat with 8-10% market share in a world dominated by the Wintel juggernaut).

That said, I'm pretty happy with my Flyer. I'd like to see software developers keep upgrading their products, but the HTC Flyer running Gingerbread does almost everything I'd want a tablet to do.

The system version is 4.4.35.MB860.Retail.en.GB

Firmware 2.2.2

My question is that i want to update to Gingerbread but an over the air update isnt available. It doesnt work using the update application on my PC either...

I have done some searching and found this related page:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1163342&highlight=gingerbread+uk

Is there anything that im missing before i follow the instructions on that post? bootloader? do i need to root the phone first etc?

It seems that is what i want, but is there someone who was in the same boat as me that wants to share what they did?

Thanks in advance guys and girls

Unable to post in developer section, have been using custom roms since February.

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, merge it and delete this paragraph if you must with http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=911364&page=1278

Had wolfbreaks rom running previous to installing FXP030 and unlocking bootloader, had issues with wolfbreaks rom. FXP030 seemed great and worked well, aside from the odd glitch. Had ran it for 2 days. Tried to update to FXP030b to test out new fixes (use the camcorder often) and upon flashing new kernel FTF file, phone booted, wiped cache, factory reset, wiped batt stats, wiped dalvik cache. loaded up the custom zips, for FXP030b + gapps, booted fine, couldn't get wifi working, couldn't connect with 3g. Tried to crash system server inside bad behavior in the dev tools as per instructions from collosus. upon crashing system service, phone hung hard for over 20 mins stayed on same screen, did not boot again till i flashed stock kernel. Not even FXP030 worked at that point. Hope I was not close to bricking my device.
[XPERIA X10 General] colossus:
Hi Buddy,

What you should have done when your phone froze after crashing the system server is to have taken your battery out and then just re-booted your phone, all would have been good.;)

If you are still at the same stage now from when you posted just flash the fxp kernel in the flashtool provided by J, your phone will now boot with FXP030b.

You was never close to bricking your phone so do not worry.:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skp19:
Decided to take my case off today and take a look at my phone. The 2 seams where the sides are connected main body have started to leave marks on the hump on the back. Also the side above the volume buttons is a little loose because of the thin plastic so now I have slight scratches there too. Time for a new case.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bigjim1488:
I knew it was going to happen! I never buy cases anymore unless it's a flexible rubber type. A lot of these cases that are hard plastic often end up scratching phones. It's happened to me in the past so never again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 05GT:
I have the same case without any scratches. I also take it out once or twice a day to make sure there is no grit in there doing damage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skp19:
The markings aren't that bad but you can see them in direct light. Hoping I can swap out the case tomorrow for something else.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick4mitch:
Same thing happened to mine, I just returned the case and got me a different one. The case with the kickstand will scratch the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tinybfk:
Mine was still unscathed after 2 weeks with it. I also took it off every 1-2 days to make sure nothing got under it. I returned it on day 14 for the holster case combo at sprint since i needed a holster for work though.

How do u like the one with holster? I saw it in the store and am debating getting it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tinybfk:
I like it a lot. It seems simmer and the matte rubber coating feels nice and helps keep debris out. I don't really use the holster but it fits nice and snug. Makes my phone about the same thickness as a naked evo 3d.

No scratches for me yet either and I remove it often to check and clean out the dust inside.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
That's what I feared from my Epic. I was,waiting on reports about scuffs before buying it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DevonSloan:
For me, the only scratching/scuffing I have from this case is are on the edges that are not protected by the case. Actually, I just looked and was going to take a macro of the scuffs, but I couldn't really find anything that would even show up on camera - there really almost nothing. And no damaged caused by the case itself.

Some pics of the case for those interested:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pheno.menon:
I had a feeling this case was going to scratch my phone in the long run, so I returned it after a few days. Both the TPU and Case-Mate are better quality.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] majmuni:
Wow guys that sucks the phone does not deserve the scratches from this case did you guys try the aluminum case
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
It scratched mine. Only used it for 2 weeks. Not real bad but is noticeable if I ever sell the phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digital4282:
I also had the kickstand case, but I didn't like the fact that it didn't cover everything. I've still got it sitting here since I switched over to a skinomi carbon fiber wrap + screen protector covered with a casemate tough case. I figure whenever I go to sell this phone it will look just as good as day 1.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nickcash:
I just bought the two piece black hard snap on case from sprint. I think its kind of weird there aren't that many cases available for this phone yet. It was one of the most anticipated phones of the year and I don't see any otterbox or high quality cases like that. That aside I'm happy with the purchase of this case. It feels nice in your hand and is of good quality. I had plans to buy the kickstand case but now I will stay away. Good lookin out guys.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] latinmaxima:
So weird. I only have a ding where it doesn't cover when I dropped it on a rock laid driveway.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] *wishlist*:
I really liked the look of this but was afraid of getting scuffs because of the way it mounts. I ordered a Case Mate Tough.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] billykent1972:
i've had mine since day one, no scratches at all, and it does come off quite a bit as I still try to boot into cwm from rom manager and it just hangs, so I have to pull the battery...etc etc...

glad i did not get this case if it does this
[Flipside General] madman0817:
As you all probably know, this phone is a pos after the upgrade. I'm willing to sell mine if there is a taker. I have moved on. That being said, the poor phone has a lot of capabilities, if one would take the time to handle the random issues in them.

But, mostly, I just wanted to say hi :)

~Madman
[Flipside General] pre4speed:
I agree with that! I moved up to atrix. What'd you go with?
[Flipside General] BuffaloBoobs:
I find the phone to be better in almost every area after the update to 2.2.2.

The battery last 2-3x longer. I can enable unknown sources without jumping through hoops. The phone was still easily rootable after the update.

The downside was that froyo used more of the precious internal space, although being able to save apps to the SD card helps a little. However, there is a bug with froyo that happens randomly when installing apps. It won't install x app and says there's insufficient space, even though there's enough. The bug usually occurs with less than 20mb free space internally.

That said, the update to froyo has given my Flipside new life (addtionally, using the Go Launcher and some other helps helped...). That doesn't mean I'm not anticipating when I'll be able to upgrade my phone....
[Motorola Photon 4G] GraphicDemon:
Is there a reprogram code the update profile is acting up......
[Motorola Photon 4G] noob_2010:
the only "reprogram code" I know of is to send it back to sprint. I have the same problem daily. just look at my other post. but obviously I got one of the bad patch of phones when they first came out. Even though I just got it last month........so yea either a replacement or just get another phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sapperpipo:
Try a hard reset. That seemed to work for me.

This is my 1st attempt at making a rom i haven't changed anything just trying to get every thing workng correctly. Please dont get salty if it sucks. I will hopefully be able to fix whats broke and add some personal touchs along the way. I just dont see many devlopers give the G2x love and wanted to keep some fresh rom's and kernels coming this way:D

************ I am not responsible for anything that happens to you device. I am a noob trying to learn!!!!!!**********

Please let me know what you guys find not working and i will try to fix asap, i have a normall job and familiy i do this in my spare time for fun. I hope to get better as time goes on, anyone that would like to help and give advise it is welcome.

Working= Almost everything, except what listed blow.

Not Working= WiFi Calling FC

********Update added a few more Tweeks as well as Zeam Launcher, and EyeCandy Theme.*******

How To Install.

1- Make a back up.

2- Put ZIP on root of SD card.

3- Boot into recovery

4- Do a full wipe

5- Install Zip

6- Install Gapps

7- Fix Permissions

8- Reboot and Enjoy :D

*(Optional)9-To apply EyeCandy Theme open Theme Chooser and select it for some reason there a blank screen for the preview.Hit apply anyway and reboot to take full affect.

*(Optional)10-Zeam launch is my favorite so i added it. It allows you so put commonly used apps in the bottom and you can scroll it left to right. It help keep screen clustter to a minimum. My configuration is Item spacing small background transparent, auto-fit iteams and i like app grid to be vertical scrolling with 6x6 lay out. Mess around with it if you don't like it the normal ADW launch is there as well. If you use EyeCandy them you need to re-drag the new Theme icons to the Launcher row.

It seems like everyday im getting better and better with developing and programming. just Wanted to give the G2x some love, and see if i can't get a stable, fast, smooth running ROM for this device. :D

hi fellas, i have searched here as well as google and cant find a solution. i have an LG Thrill, bone stock and i hate not being able to view web pages as i would on my desk top. on my iphone i had UAFaker and could toggle between the settings. i have tried the "about:debug" in the browser addy bar but that still does nothing. any advise?
[LG Thrill 4G] Urabewe:
Try going and downloading any cut from market once installed use it to make a shortcut, pick activity then change uastring
[LG Thrill 4G] waxworkz:
ok dumb this down a little for me, i dont understand "any cut" and "use it to make a shortcut, pick activity"
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
As far as I can tell the stock browser on the Thrill has no ui option to change the user agent. I recommend 'xscope browser' from the market. Its pretty close to the stock browser visually and has the ua change option to view the pages as android, desktop, and can even change to fake the ua of the iphone. There are a ton of browser apps available in the market and most have this function built in. Thats just the one I personally recommend.

Of course if you insist on using the stock browser then this will be of no use to you :rolleyes:
[LG Thrill 4G] Urabewe:
"Any Cut" is a program used for making shortcuts. You would search market for "Any Cut" then open it up, choose new shortcut, then activity, then change uastring. I haven't tried don't know if it will work or not but if you want desktop change the uastring to firefox's uastring. Either that or follow what aria was saying and get another browser. I use opera MOBILE not MINI and it has an option in settings/advanced to change from mobile and desktop, opera mobile works great and will give you full web browsing. It's nice having a full browser, I hate videos on youtube being "not available on mobile"

I want to flash the Atrix rom port to try the webtop hdmi hack.
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
No and if you manage to load a 2.3.3 ROM you will not get far. You will likely end up with a boot loop. I believe this was tested in one of the other threads and the person found it failed.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
U are correct.

It IS possible to sbf back to 2.3.3 tho. I dunno if u know that booked.
[Motorola Droid X2] hedwig34:
This is true. I tried to go back to eclipse 0.8 after the 2.3.4 sbf and it just boot looped. This is because the kernel was updated in with the 2.3.4 sbf. The Atrix 2.3.4 port runs on the old kernel from our X2 2.3.3. I would expect trying to load the Atrix port on the new kernel will also boot loop. That's my 2 cents worth.

[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
To long? That sux.

I keep the files all in one folder on my sisters computer. It only takes 15minutes max to sbf. An extra 3 to root.

Im curious what takes long about it? Do u go get a new file every time?
[Motorola Droid X2] booked:
maybe it doesnt exactly take to long, i'll just blame laziness.
