[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ms79723:
Well, devs are staying behind because we are all starting to see how the game is going. Too many Android phones are coming out at once and money ain't coming any faster. I'm sure if people paid devs to come dev for the device, we'd have more devs...so if you want to pay for someone's E4GT, go right on ahead. If you don't want to, just wait it out. This phone is already pretty sweet and the problems we do have, a dev probably won't be able to fix those..so..yeah.

This phone is sick dude, just enjoy it and be happy that you don't own a device where you have to depend on the devs just to be able to get through the day.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spitefulrain:
Having it from release date, the OG Epic did NOT have terrible development. Just not the development some people wanted. And there were "some" people who were ungrateful and rude, like with any device. This one already has great developers, and we are slowly getting more. Be patient.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ms79723:
The Epic scene was pretty good. A lot of people came from that Evo...smh, the Evo messed the whole game up if ya ask me. Now people willl sit around and say their phone is garbage if it doesn't have the same dev scene that the Evo had.

Little do most people know that the Evo was damn near the same device as the Desire, N1 and Dinc. So most of the reason why its scene was so great was because a dev from any one of those phones could just port their roms over and all they had to do was swap out the hardware files and the kernel. Other than those 2 things, everything was damn near exactly the same.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] makmoneynslp:
Yeah I think we just have to be patience
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] toprock23:
I've seen a few well known devs from the HTC Evo post here, so I'm pretty optimistic.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bigjim1488:
Viperboy is coming. That's another developer for you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HappyFillmore:
what do we really need here? cyanogen and miui and stock roms. that is asking alot but that would be epic. for now i am loving starburst. love asop but don't remove touchwiz launcher and widgets. just my opinion.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] redram38:
I had the First Epic and the Dev's there were GREAT. We may not have had as many as some phones like the Evo but the ones we had did great work and who needs 100 roms to choose from when the ones we had did the trick. We had some great Roms and Themes and the fixes came pretty fast.

I have not rooted this phone yet mainly because I have not felt the need. The only thing I am missing is WiFi Tether. I am sure when this LOS gets worked out and the devs get their hands on the original source we will see much more. I am grateful for anyone that helps make this phone better, but it is pretty dang good out of the box. The best I have ever had.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] makmoneynslp:
Where did u hear that from
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ungovernable1977:
OG epic scene was great.... kinda started slowing down with the whole froyo debacle, because it was pretty well known sammy was already working on ginger.... so evsryone was waiting for the final, correct source.... still are i think... i gotta check... gf has my epic and id love to see a finished gb...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffixnyc:
Now?? pffft what are you talking about? They want that **** out on launch day! wtf you slacking devs that dont get paid and do this all for free?? Get back in the sweatshop and do work that requires more thinking than a sweatshop worker in china but gets "paid"(donations) less! These devs should worship us and do what we tell them when we tell them! When a phone is released that very day we expect EVERY MOD imaginable, every "bell and whistle" and a choice of at least 10 roms and 10 kernels..

:p:p:p

I cant wait until viper comes over! That will be the first custom rom I run on this phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
Haha right?!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] manny1983nyc:
i have been spoiled

evo had so much going on i miss flashing new roms,all i need is cyanogen 7 and miui and a good sense rom nothing else.i miss sense but love this phone,the launchers with sense themes have no souls to them.wish i new how to even start making or porting a rom myself sux been getting bored of touch wiz
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffixnyc:
sense is pretty hard to get working on a non HTC phone. I dont think I've ever heard of a sense rom (that fully worked right) ported over to a non htc phone(at least that I know of). It's not impossible(from what I hear) but it is very very very difficult(so I hear)

Should I do it after I flash the custom rom or after? Thanks.

Hi,

There are a number of apps which will uninstall or even just freeze apps.

I use Titanium Backup or System Tuner Pro.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidbeer:
So, I would have posted my question in another thread, but it wont let me and tells me to post it here.

I was having problems with Serendipity 7 (freezing up/slow/bad gps), so I decided to try Fasty II and tried the "[AT&T][UCKB2]Heimdall One-Click -Total Stock- **now with or without root" program to get back to a Stock Rooted Froyo build. That worked fine, but now no matter what I try I can't get my phone into download mode.

Is there a different way than the button methods that I've tried and used many times successfully before? I've never tried the ada or whatever. But, I can't seem to connect my phone to my pc anymore.

I have SuperUser, TiBu and Clockwork Mod Recovery on there (although it doesn't seem to work right), so I'm pretty sure it is the rooted version.

Any ideas appreciated, otherwise I guess I'll just use my 2.2, not as bad as I thought it would be.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icedd:
Only way for me to get on Download Mode is to get it through ADB. That or a Jig

Try downloading the correct drivers and find SDK tools for Android.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
If you were on Serendipity 7, your download button combo would be either V+/V- and insert USB for the i897 GB bootloaders, and hold Vol- and Power for the i9000 bootloaders.

As a couple of notes, I generally have better luck getting to download mode from a full power-off state. Also, the Heimdall one-click puts the 3e recovery back in place, so you'll probably need to ODIN/Heimdall a kernel with CWM in order to get around that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
1: from battery charging with cable inserted: press and hold vol+ and vol-, press power

2. from recovery, position the cursor on restart device, plug in usb, press and hold vol-, then hold vol+, then press power

3. remove battery press and hold vol+ and vol-, insert cable, insert battery

4. remove battery, press and hold vol+ and vol-, insert battery, insert cable

5. put phone into usb debugging mode, on the computer type "adb reboot download"

6. use clockwork mod recovery to reboot download mode

7. use custom ROM power option "download mode"

8. use a 301Kohm jig between USB pins 4-5

9. Apply UnBrickable mod to your device, then remove the battery, insert the batteyr, and click the "Download Mode" button on the computer

10. Use UART (619Kohm resistor between USB pins 4-5, D+=RX, D-=TX, 192500bps 8n1 comms), press and hold ENTER while booting, then type USB

11. Use UART, during battery charging, type "reboot download"

Did i forget one?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
12. HAMMER SMASHY SMASHY!!! Oh... wait. No, don't do that one.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:

13. From a terminal, type "su", then "reboot download"
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
there is also an app in the market called quickboot.... ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidbeer:
Thank you guys for the suggestions. When i get time today i'll go through the list and try them out. Just realized amazon wont even let me install their apps bc my phone blocks it.
[HD2 General] ruuulis:
Hey.

I had a HTC Leo today at work (I work at htc warranty repair) and the problem was that the phone could not be charged. I confirmed this by trying to charge and then was going to change the mother board to fix the problem.

For some reason I decided to turn the phone on with another battery, and check it out.

The phone booted to android.

Even though I myself have a rooted phone and follow these forums every day, I was forced to break the warranty stickers inside the phone and then send the customer an email asking if he wanted the phone to be repaired off warranty.

The changing of motherboard would cost him over 300$ dollars, which could have been avoided by getting a cheap spare battery and going back to stock.

Now he will never be able to get any problems in the phone repaired by warranty :/

So please, if you send your phone to warranty repair, go back to stock.
[HD2 General] Spaqin:
You had to do it? Someone was looking over your shoulder?
[HD2 General] huggs:
Even if nobody was looking over his shoulder, he should not be expected to sacrifice his integrity and risk his job just because he's sympathetic to the customer's problem. The customer should have had the sense to return the phone to stock condition before sending it in for warranty repairs.
[HD2 General] Franzisco:
Hi there.

I did that, but it did not work?!

I´m (was) using MIUI on my HD2. Last week i opend the internet browser of my HD2, then there was a short "lag" and after that lag the touch is gone broken.

I flashed back to the roots and sent it in for warranty.

Now i got a letter in which they mention that i broke the warranty terms and have to pay 430€ for a broken touch?!? that is crazy...

they also gave my a link to a picture of my phone.

See attachment. So what is the Problem?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
That spl is only stock for tmous phones, if you have a regular hd2 with spl 2.x, even a 'stock' 2.08.0000, then it can only get that way using warranty breaking methods.
[HD2 General] Franzisco:
hack, thats a piece of sh.. .

I think it won´t help to retrieve it and send it in with another spl, because they saved the data from the last order?.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
No probably not, but it will almost certainly be cheaper from a third party repair shop. For 430 euro you could buy almost two mint condition 2nd hand units on eBay.

Course, if HTC do a paid repair, they should at least offer warranty on the repair.(maybe?dunno)
[HD2 General] Franzisco:
hmmm. But the risk of sending it in again to the same company high.

They want me to pay about 28€ only for sending the Phone back to me, because theres no warranty left. so if it does not work the second time, i have to pay that twice... maybe more because of attempted fraud!?

I send it in to Arvato. Do you know any other warranty company for the HD2 i could send it to?

Or i´m bound the company that is mentioned on the site i bought the phone?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
The warranty is already broken. The tech most likely broke the warranty seal when he discovered the spl had been tampered with. Just like the OP in post 1.
[HD2 General] Franzisco:
ah, ok. Think i ****ed with 520€. That feels really bad...:(

so, lets wait for Miui M1.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
no worries.

if it were me, id get the phone back and find a local repair shop to fit a new screen. should cost about 100 Euro for the part, plus a bit for fitting. BUT be sure its a reputable shop, and they offer you some kind of guarantee, cos there's a fair few stories where a repair shop has broken the cables to the buttons, or similar, and wont re[pair them.

OR, id spend 150/250 euros for a 2nd hand one on ebay, and keep the broken one for use as a spare mainboard.
[HD2 General] Franzisco:
don´t want to spend money on it. Was about to buy a new one anyway. Just waiting for Miui M1.

I will retrieve it and try to sell it with all equip for some euros on Ebay.

thanks for ur infos on that topic.
[HD2 General] se1988:
You could go for new warranty stickers from ebay.

-not that I am supporting any kinds of fraud here, but I think that custom SPL should not cause the warranty to void, and flash-bricked phones to be repaired on warranty. It should be the other way around.

But hey, if what I just suggested is illegal where you live, DON'T DO IT. ;)
[HD2 General] Franzisco:
i had looked up my problem yesterday with the keyword "touch not responding" and found many complains about that. Seems to be a generall problem with HD2 that seems to come from dust. there are some solutions i´m gonna try.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Ah but they can't tell its a flash brick (I assume you're talking about tmous radio bricks) and without proof they have to uphold the warranty. The only way to start the phone would be to JTAG it, which would wipe the hspl evidence.
[HD2 General] cmajewsk:
Does it then matter if the phone is out of warranty anyway, and you know your going to have to pay for it? Is it even worth going back to stock?
[HD2 General] ruuulis:
Might fool someone, if it is really well manufactured. Even though the seller claims they are original, they are not. The strip containing the original stickers looks very different.

Doesn't matter if it is already out of warranty.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waltm:
Hi folks,

I am running CM7.1 off a 4gig sd card on an otherwise stock NC. Most things are working as intended. I can install apps from the market and they install and run fine.

The problem comes up when I try and sideload anything to the sd card. If I connect the NC to a pc with the usb cable and enable usb storage mode and try to copy a file to the sd card I get the error "Cannot copy [filename]: The parameter is incorrect." but I can write the file to internal memory without an issue.

If I try and write a file to the sd card using the 'File Expert' app by copying form a network share to sd it appears to copy the file and the file shows in the directory but it is corrupt. File Expert cannot generate an MD5 sum to compare with the original and the file can not be loaded into an app (ebook reader for ebubs, etc.) it just returns an error that the file is invalid. I can copy files to the internal memory using the same method and everything works fine.

Downloads from a browser also abort and nothing is written to the sd card but apps downloaded from the market install fine.

Could this be a permission issue? A problem with the sd cards partition? Is there something else I should be looking at to help diagnose this issue?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
I would like:

-A notification bar similar in features to Sense 3.0.

-Option to have ringer and notification volume the same.

-Have an actual lock screen rather than going straight to the lock pattern (easier to control music)

-The music volume slider is too wide and I would like it to be normal. It is wide because when you have headphones and go above a certain volume, a message appears stating that it is dangerous to go above this limit while wearing headphones.

I think these are reasonable. Just want to get your input
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
no inputs?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ravizzle:

Yes a lock screen before the pattern would be nice and this is main reason I dont have a pattern

[Motorola Droid Bionic] jpen:
I love the keyboard, but i realized i never use the enter key on it...and I was wondering if there was a way to replace the enter key with lets say a little optical joystick thing? Kind of like how the Incredible had the optical joystick or whatever you want to call it....but have it as an onscreen thing.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
Smart Keyboard Pro has an option to change it to smileys. You can customize the smiley menu so actually you can make it anything you want. So you can set it up so just press that button to say "Hello" (idk if theres a character limit on it)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jpen:
I appreciate the respond but i was hoping that it someone could customize and put a joystick or something in there...just so when i have paragraphs of text it will be a lot easier to navigate through and fix words...the size of the enter button is comparable to the size of the optical joystick thing on the Incredible and the actually joystick thing on the Eris...i know its wishful thinking just thought it would be neat.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dumaru:
I am with you there. It is a bit annoying to change letters by clicking and picking that blue picket to move it to the letter you want. Being precise on a captive touch screen is basically non existent.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BiasedThunder:
I believe the keyboard app mentioned above has the ability to add arrow keys. I will check and update.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BiasedThunder:
Smart keyboard pro has an option in the general settings to "show arrows". So as stated above it is imo the best choice.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
Yes there is an option to show arrows. I don't use it because I'm pretty used to where to press to get where I want. But i remember a few years ago when I first got into Android, I did need the arrow keys and they did wonders.

I was musing today about why it could be taking so long for Sammy to push out a radio update for our LOS issues, especially since it's such a frustrating problem. I wonder if they are simply waiting to push it out along with ICS on the 19th (or somewhere around then) instead of developing a version for the current GB.

What do you think?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
ICS? You probably aren't going to see that for 3-6 months.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Khilbron:
The 19th is the rumored release date for the Prime running ICS, which means the source code won't be too far behind, but we are still months away from an OTA ICS release.

[Acer Iconia A500] tkolev:
Unfortunately there is a bug with the windows sdk that makes developing on some phones a pain in the a##, because it fails to connect to the phone so you can't deploy your app to test it (could be ok with the a500 - I haven't tried in windows). I would suggest you install linux on a vm and use that instead. There is no need for drivers with linux and everything works flawlessly. I'm not trying to "convert" you into using linux or anything - the bug is Google's fault (not MS) and they are aware of it but don't seem to care. I installed a linux vm just for developement and use windows for everything else that can't be done on the iconia.
