What a mistake

Just got my iphone 4s in the mail today and i regret it already after 5 hours,this os is so lame and boring theres nothing to it got to spoiled on android with customizing everything,not much different from when i had the very first iphone.forgot about no flash too wtf was i thinking listening to all these paid off reviewers that always give it over rated reviews and the pics are good but not as good i dont care what anyone says.pics i have take with my epic 4g touch are cleaner,brighter,sharper and better even when compared on my desktop,even with the random minor issues my 4g touch had it is still better by far.every issue could but fix with updates that should be around the corner.iphone 4s is a mistake and waste of money unless u like no flash or sd slot or just dont like doing cool things to the appearance of your phone,very plan os.selling on ebay tonight already reconnected my epic 4g touch,now i will never leave android.

you have been warned!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did the opposite 4 weeks ago, went from iphone on att to epic 4g touch. Happy that I did for many of the same reasons listed above, also the screen size, camera quality, etc..

Only thing I am jealous of with the iPhone is there are so many awesome cases for it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] c0diac:
i have iphone4 and huawei u8650 and both devices are perfect for me.

iphone 4 is very good cell that manages mails, cals and few games

u8650 is here for my pleasure i always make some modifications on it test stuff etc.

so i would not tell ios is **** or android is **** every os have advantages and disadvantages.

to be honest it is simpler to browse web on iphone...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HondaCop:
Good post. I really don't understand how people can become so obsessed with one specific device. Fanboism is a very severe condition.

Me I like simple

And the iPhone is just that . I don't need to customize my phone just need it to do what I want when I want but that's just me and 4g don't work here anyway
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] toprock23:
Yea I know right! I think there's just too many handsets for Android and the manufacturers just wanna focus on the popular phones.

Yeah, I really like my tpu case
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drastic25:
well i did get one 64gb but guess what i returned it today at the sprint store....one the screen is too small...i can't multi task...and Siri is very good and honestly the radio is better that my sg2 but i just hated the screen size even at higher pixel i love my sg2 screen..oh and also no turn by turn and google voice have problems with ios5 at the moment..so i am back on my sg2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
I personally wont buy a iphone but you know what? I absolutely live that apple has made such a nice and simple device. So many people of a older age ( 40+ ) who would have a really hard time learning to txt and brows the web on a androids more complicated OS can't get a iphone and feel acomplished and have a good time. Its all they need. Most apple users arnt like us phone geeks that mod anything they can. They just want a entry level device that works plain amd simple. Amd you know what. If I had to use one it wouldn't be the end of the world. I'm just spoiled with adroid but the iphone is a amazing device. Only suggestion I have for apple is to make the screen a 4.3-4.5 so older people who's vision isn't as sharp and people who arnt good at selecting things ( bigger fingers ) can have a easier time seing stuff and not selecting the wrong things. Great device though. I give it a 10 out of 10 for what its designed for!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Heelfan71:
I have owned several iPhones in the past and there are just as many phone geeks on iphone who mod anything they can.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alnova1:
I added a line and got the 4S and I like it. That being said I like the Touch too. They both have great qualities in their on ways. I have had android for the last few years and haven't regretted it but I also like Apple products. They one thing that I do like about the iPhone is that is has so many accessories to choose from. Like um both though...great phones.

Galaxy S II vs iPhone 4S Face Off

This is for ATT Galaxy S II, but it is close enough to Epic 4G Touch that Sprint users can relate. It is actually a decent straight up side-by-side, actual usage of features, comparison with no fanboyism. Covers App startup, VoiceCommand/Siri, Games, Browsers, Notification Bar, etc.

Part 1

Part 2

Hold on...correct me if im wrong..ok so the iphone 4s is out..but isnt the iphone 5 coming out soon..like in a few months or something..why would somebody upgrade now?..or is it not coming out soon?...confused...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geolemon:
I'm a fan of tech too...

Which is why I bought a GSII, which was a quantum leap not only from the GSI, but over almost every other phone out there.

GSII - dual core 1.2ghz processor

iPhone4S - dual core 800mhz processor (as shown in all tests)

GSII - 8 megapixel camera

iPhone4S - 5 megapixel camera

GSII - AMOLED display - better colors/contrast, standard resolution.

iPhone4S - Retina display - higher pixel density, standard colors/contrast.

GSII - 4.5" display

iPhone4S - 3.5" display

GSII - 16gig built in, SD card for additional 32gb expansion if desired.

iPhone4S - better buy the gigs you need up front... no SD card for you.

GSII - ability to swap out batteries

iPhone4S - better hope you don't run out of charge

GSII - 1800mAh battery

iPhone4S - 1420mAh battery

GSII - standard usb port

iPhone4S - proprietary Apple plug (don't forget to tow your cable around with you)

GSII - uses actual Android OS

iPhone4S - incorporates Android features into iOS5 (finally!)

GSII - hell, GSI had voice commands. So did my G1... and my Blackberry...

iPhone4S - you can speak jive to rather than voice commands, and/or get magic 8-ball answers when it doesn't understand you.

GSII - much customization available, even custom ROMS, ability to root easily.

iPhone4S - actively pursues shutting down exploits, minimizes customization.

GSII - Unlimited number of desktops and widgets available to you.

iPhone4S - doesn't do Widgets. Or desktops. Just a field of icons to poke.

GSII - $499. $199 on contract (or less)

4S 16 - $649. $199 on contract (no less)

4S 32 - $749. $299 on contract (no less)

4S 64 - $849. $399 on contract (no less)

Granted, my GSII will just give me a beep rather than a smartass Siri answer, but I'd say that besides my phone giving me lip, the GSII is way more advanced than the tremendously iterative (same chassis even) iPhone 4S.

I'm not seeing the "technology" argument here. Certainly no feel-good value argument... it's paying more for way less technology.

iPhone owners can't even make their usual "smoothness" argument...

...despite not being an apples to apples comparison, scrolling a field of simple icons and nothing running in iOS, now the GSII has the processor to scroll smoother than an iPhone even having widgets and advanced functionality.

My guess is you ARE trolling, if you had a GSII, you wouldn't switch to (of all things) an iPhone. Certainly not under the guise of "technology" :D

Now get on your fixie bicycle, and make sure you buy a case that has a hole to expose the Apple logo, and see how miserably you fail to impress that girl you heard say "Like, what I REALLY want, is an iPhone... like, you know?" (twirl hair in fingertips)

Good luck, we'll see you 2 contract years from now, having had more iEcosystem dollars vacuumed from your pockets and wondering why the iPhone didn't make you cool like all those other guys carrying iPhones... :cool:

^ funny sh*t. Do iPhones have Roms/customizations? When they say jail breaking is it just to use on another provider or is it like rooting android?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordLugard:
Jailbreaking is the iOS way of rooting, akin to what goes on in Android land. You're basically loading a modified iOS version on the iDevice (Touch/iPhone/iPad/AppleTV) that has been customized with various mods and so forth to the OS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IA-32e:
Blasphemy!

If anything people should be making the switch to Android...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KING SKILLZ:
Ok, if you can customize & root then it can't be all that bad, wonder why the hate.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Odinforce:
No, jailbreaking only will install you another provider app, which is going to let you through their catalogue of app's unlock your device, add few ringtones download cracked games and app's etc...

So no, it's not like rooting the phone, throught rooting (only in android) you will have full access to your cellphone even at the point to perform overclock, rewrite the whole phone distribution such like partitioning nand memory and so the list goes on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geolemon:
Jailbreaking an iPhone will let you put a modified ROM on that doesn't still allow the functionality of a completely stock Android phone.

Plus, Apple actively pursues exploits, and will void warranty coverage.

That's more of an issue when Apple charges between $700 and $900 for a new iPhone, plus they charge money for their warranty (called "AppleCare").

iOS is an entirely closed ecosystem, they make more money from it being closed, and works to keep it closed - almost the same way that Norton works to identify and slam the door on virus exploits.

Which is also why you don't see very many iOS custom ROMs.

It's not hate, it's pointing out that it's the wrong tool for the job, like using a fork to eat soup...

Sure, you can do it, but if you want to drag race, you don't buy a Camry then try to undo all the built-in engineering to get it to work in an entirely different way. That would be a sign you simply got the wrong phone, and now are having iRegret that it doesn't do what you were used to with Android.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohohcherry:
hello all, I flashed the Batista70 FOXHOUD EDITION 2.2 rom, and i got a 100% time without signal in the cell standby (settings > applications > battery usage > cell standby).

I have no problem in receiving voice call or sms. but i don't know why it states 100% time without signal...

I searched around and tried the plane mode trick, but it doesn't work for me...

Now my phone's battery drains ~1-2% while it is in sleep. is it related to the cell standby, or it is normal?

Thanks for any recommendation or comments.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEclipse:
Ok, I have finally convinced my wife to let me play with her vibrant. I plan on rooting it tonight but before I put the new ROM on her phone she wants me to try to backup her apps. She does not want to lose all of her data for her current apps. Stock 2.2 is always freezing or messing up on her and she is getting really annoyed!

My question is this, in order for me to move everything over (app and data) is there a step by step guide for Titanium Backup so I can do this properly?

(When I did it to my phone, I screwed up and lost everything on my vibrant and I don't want to do this again.)

I know with MIUI it has a backup feature which is awesome and this is more than likely what I will put on her phone.

Please help!

Thanks in advance
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex9090:
It is pretty simple really. In Titanium just hit batch and backup all apps plus data. You can also choose to save the backup on external micro sdcard just in case.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEclipse:
When I did that last time it wouldn't put everything back I guess I don't understand the process
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex9090:
What exactly did it not restore? Hit menu and batch and you can see what apps you are going to back up. Similarly when you are restoring you can see the list and it also gives you option to restore the app + data or just the apps. Just make sure after making a backup that you have backed up every app that you wanted.

It shows you everything in batch menu screen.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex9090:
Only one other suggestion I have is do not back up system apps. Restoring system apps + data doesn't work nicely with one ROM to another. Just use backup user apps menu.

Data of system apps?

Sent from samsung vibrant
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEclipse:
Data from apps downloaded from the market
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
When you do backups, the data is also included.

When you restore apps later, choose data+app.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
If you are going to MIUI, use Titanium Backup sparingly. Do not restore any system (red) apps and do not restore apps offered in the ROM. When I first went to MIUI, I restored my apps one at a time rather than use restore all apps. I didn't have an issue nor did I lose any data. Also, do a nandroid backup and I would backup all the files on the phone to your computer. This way you can move the apps to the system/app folder if things go south. I hope she enjoys MIUI, I do.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEclipse:
How do I move the files to the computer?? What folder is it located in? Do i need to download root explorer for this...I have to completely redo her entire phone and I plan on wiping everything and starting from scratch, I believe somehow someway something was messed up and Miui did not install properly. I want to start her over from scratch like a brand new vibrant off the showroom floor.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Hook your phone up to your PC and pull off the folder called TitaniumBackup and put it on you desktop. Once you "clean" your phone, you can put all that back on your SDcard. Pretty easy really.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funeralthirst:
titanium backup has a dropbox option now which backs everything up to your dropbox.

and unless she's using google voice, she's going to lost her text messages. similarly with call history. contacts and wifi stuff should be backed up with the google account. so, like the picture posted above, just 'backup all user apps' then after flashing the new rom 'restore all apps with data'.

Backup and restore problem Titanum Backup 8.4.0.2 PRO / Galaxy S9 Plus

Hi

I have used TB 2-3 yrs ago and it wask ok..not many problems.

No I have a problem with all backup jobs I make..all of them not are marked with these smilies but ? ( I guess smilies means OK and no error backup and "?" means some error/missing in backup

And; when I restore a OLD backup With smilies, after the restore the smilies is away/missing and this "?" have apper instead of the smilies, so it seems that TB destroy the old OK backup after it is restored.

Can this error be a fail in options? Something I have to set in options for get it to work?

Hope for answerd :) ( and hope this quest is posted in correct group. If not, pls tell me :)

My phone is a huge POS and I am ready to throw it through t-mobile's window. I have been getting a lot of hangs and crashes on my phone so I decided it was time to finally upgrade it. Well I have tried both my work and home PC's and my laptop. And the phone never shows up on the computer. When I plug it in, the phone beeps and asks me if I want to use Kies, Mass Storage, or Media Player. No matter what I select the phone is never seen by windows explorer, disk manager, or Kies. I have tried a few different cables and still no dice. I know the connection is good as it charges and asks if I want to mount the device. I figured it was software so I decided to factory wipe the phone, but that didn't help at all. I am at a loss, T-Mobile probably won't do anything for me. I am ready to jump ship and go back to iPhone, Android has not been a very good experience for me.
[Vibrant General] dardani89:
Ye sorry you had to get the vibrant dude. I would have gone with the nexus s on tmobile. Maybe try to enable USB debug. I don't know for a fact if it might help. Otherwise if you're willing to deal with it and put in a little time you could root it and run bionic 1.3.1 and just do the basics with it. With rooting you can go much farther but I dont think you care for much more than the basics. This phone is a great hardware unfortunately the software is not upto par. This isn't so much android as it is Samsung for crippling it with their touchwiz overlay and rfs format.
[Vibrant General] VibrantThemer:
First, download your phone usb driver from Samsung and install on your PC or laptop.

Try these steps:

1. Click the menu

2. Click Setting

3. Click Wireless and Network

4. Unplug USB

5. Click USB Setting

6. Select the last option

Good luck
[Vibrant General] apDroid:
I know what you are going through. I have had to uninstall and reinstall the drivers so many times. :(

If you are able to get the phone updated to Froyo it will be much better. If you are willing to get your hands a little dirty, look into installing the famous Voodoo lagfix. It makes a night and day difference!
[Vibrant General] southkid23:
if you wanna update to froyo 2.2 i would suggest using kies mini
[Vibrant General] DarkSideGTI:
Going to bump this. Phone still is not recognized by any PC. It's not a driver issue. It charges, but does not allow me to transfer files or anything.
[Vibrant General] roogerrisboredd:
I have the two vibrant and one with your problem. The one with the problem was bought used and I'm sure that the seller had no intention of ripping me off because the from was the factory stock . Anyways it doesn't open as a mass storage or is detected in Odin. The best thing I could do was flash cyanogen or miui on it and that's how I keep up to date. I believe that this Is a hardware problem. Perhaps by water, dust, or who knows what. Nothing I can do about it.
[Vibrant General] cashmundy:
If you had a Linux box to plug it into, you could probably find out more of what is going on. You could try putting the phone into download mode and see if Odin can see it. It could well be a bad USB port. You could take it into T-Mobile and ask them to try.

It's not an android problem, but it could be cheap Samsung hardware or bad software.
[Vibrant General] da_dragon2k3:
All three comps using the same os?

Same driver version for all three?

Is it recognized in device manager when plugged in?

If all you need to do is transfer files, then use Samba
[Vibrant General] Thy Gamer:
I have had this problem before, make sure the USB cable your using is a data usb cable, and not just a charge cable, yes they do exist.
[Vibrant General] Robert1989:
Look this might sound stupid, but try different cables, even a new one if possible, and ask them to test it for you. I had the same problem and I had a working cable (or so I thought), one day a friend lend me his cable so I tried once more, expecting the usual, but it was recognized by my pc. It was a bad cable all along.
[Vibrant General] Raistline:
This is possible, I was using a Generic cable and could not get Odin to recognize it until I used the official Sony cable at one time a few months ago.
[Epic 4G General] maltydog:
I have an Epic 4G, got it in January. I bought it from Best Buy, but I am paying for Total Equipment protection. I am running CM7 on it now. All my rooting, wiping, Odining, seems to have caused some warping in the USB connection. The phone will still charge, but it is not recognized by my computer (same cable and USB connection on the computer that worked previously). Is this covered by TEP? Will the $35 charge cover it? I assume I will have to flash a stock, unrooted Rom before I bring it to the store.
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
If your under TEP I'm sure this will be covered for $35, but maybe someone else may know differently.
[Epic 4G General] ramsestut:
I'm at a corporate store, and as long as there aren't any bent pins or severe damage, we'll cover it.

(no charge with tep or esrp btw)
[Epic 4G General] maltydog:
Yeah, it's not heavily bent, the charging still seems to work, just can't get the computer to recognize it anymore. So I should just bring it to a local store?
[Epic 4G General] ramsestut:
Yeah I would, have them plug it into their triage computer to verify. They'll probably want to try and flash stock again to it, but obviously that won't work if the port is actually bad.
[Epic 4G General] Sesquipedalian:
Strange, I'm having the exact same problem. Charging works, but no computer will recognize it. Windows complains about a malfunctioning USB device. Tried different computers, different cables, uninstall/reinstall driver -- everything. I flashed it back to stock with rerfs and went back to stock recovery before I take it in. No apparent damage.
[Epic 4G General] maltydog:
Which file did you flash? Was it back to stock recovery as soon as you flashed it?

Hey Everyone,

I have a rooted desire z with an insert coin rom installed.

I want to mess around with ROM Manager. When I go to perform the 1st step, "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, it asks me to confirm phone model.

Options are HTC Desire HD and HTC G2. I would assume I want to use the G2 as this is pretty much the G2.

My phone was originally Bell Mobility.

Any insight would be great.

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bombadier:
Yip choose the HTC G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] barryweston:
thanks!...now to decide what rom to try. :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
Choose whatever you want. But remember there are more options than show up in ROM manager. You can download from the dev section too :)

Also, ALWAYS back up in recovery before flashing. Save yourself a lot of headaches.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bombadier:
Dont limited yourself to what can be downloaded through rom manager, head to the developers section here and read up on the different flavoured roms

[G2 and Desire Z General] barryweston:
This is only my 3rd adnroid, 2nd i've rooted.

The 1st was a Rogers Dream so I was limited to CM6 really.

One thing I wonder on the desire z is do I need to flash a different kernel? I would guess no since the insert coin rom I am running is Gingerbread 2.3.4 the kernel would be fine for something like CM7.1.

Anyone running CM 7.1 on a desire z? how is it?
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
When you install a new ROM (like cm7) it installs a new kernel with it. FWIW the CM7 stock kernel is amazing.

There are thousands of people running CM7 on the Vision. Head over to the 7.1 thread and see what people are saying. Its worth a try. I like it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] barryweston:
If I go with CM7.1, any way to get a good looking sense clock/weather widget? The ones on market suck to put it simply....

The onlything I like about sense really is that widget...
