[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Well, I bought the best phone I could to make the most of it...to use new features as they were developed and to do things that smartphones can do... but I can't download an entire podcast in most locations on 3G without the download stalling...podcasts aren't large. I can't watch youtube without wating for it to buffer, HD is out of the effin' question. Basic functionality like the market, sometimes it takes MINUTES after tapping on market for the market to come up...most downloads never start...I would love to use Pandora again but between the 30 second delay between songs and the irritating pauses....and then there's Google Music...I have an account which is worthless on 3G. I haven't tried video-chat since my Evo4G when the network was still passable...but I'm sure that would be painful at best.

I'm not looking to run a server, but, every now and then I need to remote-desktop into work to get something done, that's pretty much a non-starter as well. Uploading a photo to facebook takes 10 minutes if it even completes at all...in fact anything involving upstream data is pretty much useless most of the time.

Hell, even the XDA app requires an insane amount of refresh tapping cuz the data stalls from all the lag...and that's TEXT!

Now, do I really consume that much data? I don't know, I don't have the chance to tell you. I probably would if it wasn't like pulling effin' teeth. I used to....I've had 10-20gb months in the past...no tethering even. I like streaming music or watching video...but that stuff stopped working reliably last year some time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
Hahaha yeah the only reason android isn't still in "beta" is because other people are involved

I don't use my cell phone's data connection to "download files;" however streaming music, browsing the web, and watching some netflix can push me over 2gb.

Now some of that could have been done over wifi, if the antenna on this phone wasn't garbage. (just the wifi part) One of my few complaints about the epic touch. Los doesn't plague me and the whole android os battery bug doesn't bother me that much; wifi reception and no roaming on PCS band are my only qualms.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
I just ran a speed test using my wifi connection at home, and got 22 down, and 9.5 up on my 50-10 comcrap connection...

I don't feel the wifi antenna is horrible on this phone; actually, I get better wifi speeds on this one than I did on my Evo3D OR my Evo4G..

YMMV
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
The Wifi antenna is much better than my Epic was and is definitely better than my Nexus. Every time I see a see a thread about Sprint's crap speed I immediately run a Speedtest...edit..if you live in the L.A. area, never test on the Speedtest L.A. server. Its constantly congested
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
I'm not talking about wifi speeds. My issue is not being able to connect to wifi in certain areas of my work building where my Evo3G picked up the signal fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdszoke:
I seem to get better Wifi Signal on my Epic Touch compared to my EvoOG. Area's where signal goes in and out with evo my Epic Touch gets steady signal.

Note:

Thread seems to be less hostile.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dallastx:
Those are regular speeds lol We just forgot what regular 3g Rev A speeds were since most don't get them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
Maybe its manufacturing variance, opposite experience for me.

Yeah the ignore feature and report button does wonders.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
More than likely because you and him are running different modem or kernel versions.

For whatever reason, there is a variance in how each phone reacts to each modem/kernel.

Which is why some get LOS, and some don't.

And some are getting 24 hours battery life, and some can't get 6.

Ut oh, you can't see this because you put me on ignore lolololol. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
What makes this funny is that AT&T's HSPA+ is 14.4mbps. Try running the speed test again, and it'll go much lower, and stay consistently low.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
People seem to be forgetting sprints network vision and 10 billion network investment.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Sadly, keeping in mind this is a hacker forum full of people that should understand it, most people don't even understand what Network Vision is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] babbit:
Actually At&T's HSPA+ is actually 42mbps. The 14mbps limit was what they had in 2009. Since then, they have been upgrading all their towers.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brownhornet:
You arent the only one considering leaving lol. Hell from reading Sprint's forum I wouldnt be surprised if 50% of the people that switched to Sprint to get the iphone returned em because of the data speeds. I rarely even use my Sprint line anymore because of how ridiculously terrible the data has gotten in Atlanta.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
I did mention that in OP

It hasn't been forgotten, but some of us doubt sprint's ability to deliver.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
I really would like to hear the reason for the "doubt in ability to deliver"

Because I have a feeling that doubt will coincide with people that haven't read up on Network Vision coupled with people that are being negative for the sake of being negative.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
Thinking of T-Mobile?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
That's what I figured it would be.

That's not a good reason to doubt a new plan that, from a technical standpoint, is sound.

When they start launching this in new markets that will tell how good or bad this will be.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boe:
In theory it sounds great. But no matter how many times a serial killer tells me he plans to do something good, I'll have a hard time believing them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Agreed. The disastrous 3G rollout comes to mind... Disastrous 4G rollout as well.... And I'm to believe that an even more massive upgrade AND transition involving multiple protocols, chunks of spectrum and technologies is going to somehow work out? EL OH EL.

Hell, i remember when if you wandered too far from an interstate highway a PCS signal wasn't as common as 4G is today...

So, pardon us if we are highly skeptical of Sprints ability to pull this massive overhaul off smoothly and in a timely fashion.

[HTC EVO 3D] stretchwookie:
To all pro themers out there. I just recently switched from the htc evo 4g to the evo 3d. i have my phone completely tricked out in a nintendo style video game theme. i have an AMAZINGLY epic lockscreen i used on my evo, but because of the resolution change on the 3d, the lockscreen looks TERRIBLE. my request is that someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE resize the lockscreen so that it fits the evo 3d screen. i have provided screenshots of what the lockscreen is supposed to look like, and what mine looks like now, as well as the .mtz i used to install the lockscreen. i am currently using MIUI 1.10.14 with tiamat aosp kernel 1.1.0 (if these things matter :-D )

EDIT: on a side note, can the lockscreen be further edited so that sliding the koopa troopa and lakitu up/down open the dialer and sms? kinda like the original miui lockscreen, where sliding down on phone opens dialer, and on envelope opens sms? SUPER appreciated

[Samsung Captivate Glide] insane08:
I know we all love our cappy's (well most of us) however i was starting to get a little bored with mine and was debating on getting a new android phone - something with a faster processor / flash / better camera / + more features but with the things i love about the captivate so i was thinking of jumping over to the SGII or Atrix 2...while digging around i found the

Samsung Captivate Slide !!!

.. I love the whole slide out keyboard and all of the specs so i think im going to wait out to get this phone now kind of excited =] !!

Here's a link i found already announced by Samsung so hopefully they give out a release date....Besides that would anybody have any other recommendations for a phone i should get since my intrest in the cappy is dying out ???

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SGH-I927ZKAATT

Plus the slide its already running gingerbread ! atnt is finally starting to kick up their android game
[Samsung Captivate Glide] TRusselo:
LOL link saysCaptivate GLIDE G S same crap different letter

i927... comes with gingerbread 2.3 hmmm wonder if it will be portable to i897 ? it would probably get ICS eventually...

DAMN IT... what have i just said?? ive become one of..... THEM!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bveditz:
I dunno, I see no similarity between this and the original Captivate. All the great things about the captivate aren't in this device. For instance, the captivate was the nicest style of all the original Galaxy S phones, with the metal plating back and original styling.

Its nice that it has the keyboard, although it looks like a relatively unoriginal phone otherwise. I wonder if it comes with the bad GPS like our original captivates. :)

I'm looking to replace my captivate because the bad GPS and bad camera (I have one of the original captivates with serious issues..haha), but I personally am more interested in the SGS II or the new Galaxy Nexus if it comes out on AT&T.

how long until your iphone friends are referring to your phone as the "camel toe slide"

the GSIII and Note both look outstanding as far as a standalone device.

The most interesting concept i have seen is a hybrid phone the converts to the tablet that Asus will be releasing:

This site (which has been mentioned on this forum for USBJigs, is offering 2 OEM Style batteries PLUS an external charger for $20? I would love to pounce on this offer..

EDIT: yea i just ordered it... i figured for 20$ if its a bust im not out much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mcorrie1121:

i bought it, i figured for 20$ i would give it a shot, ill update the thread when i get it so everyone knows if it was a good buy or not. but i also wanted a jig (my main reason for looking there) so worst case scenario i just spent $26 on a usb jig and battery charger. (26 after adding jig)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] owmygulay:
I was really thinking about picking up one of those too. Report back when you get yours and let us know how it is. Is the jig for the sgs2 the same as the captivate one?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wingman_214:
The batteries will work however you will not be able to plug in the USB cable. Doing so will cause endless boot loops. Its a known issue when using i9100 batteries.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
guess that's the catch then...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rrryan2:
Those are Chinese generic batteries that are available on eBay and elsewhere. I had a set and charger for the Captivate, purchased for less than half what that seller is asking. They did work, but nowhere near as well as the OEM battery despite having the same nominal capacity rating. The charger was also really weak at 300mA? or so and took hours to charge (USB is 500mA). They were good when I needed a few extra hours in a pinch, but that's about it.

Swapping batteries also can throw your battery stats off.

I have no experience with the USB boot loops etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Speaking of made in China batteries for the I9100 I just got one in the mail. Seems to be working fine with no reboots, hope it stays that way.

i got my atrix rooted and was looking for a way to revert it back to stock.

i was using rsd lite 5.3.1 and an sbf 1.5.2 i believe and now all i get is a brief screen and then it goes blank. the screen says:

svf:105:1:2

failed to boot 0x1000

then it starts to flash a third line of text but the whole screen goes blank immediately. if anyone has any ideas. i bought it from a private party so i'm not sure if i could get it warranted...

any help or direction would be great.

just for additional info, my battery was charged prior to this happening (92%)

If it shows nvflash than currently no, it cannot be fixed

From here I was able to fastboot and unlock the phone and install the CWM recovery. I did fastboot reboot at the end and now I have a functional phone again :) . Useful information

please help, same issue

Hi

I recently did the same thing, however I used 2.3.6 4.5.141 sbf to flash my currently 2.3.6. 4.5.1.45 . There was a problem with a font installer i and this this turned out to be my last restort. RSD Lite failed, twice o nthe 100% completion, something to do with failed to enter BP mode. Note that, on normal power on i am getting failed to boot 1.

Power + Vol Down

entering nvflash recovery, cuts off

After a full night charge, same thing but says battery too low in ddition.

Power + Vol Up

failed to boot 1,

power reason :charger ;

Starting fastboot protol support

Battery too low

prior to allow this battery low issues, when i did the power + vol up and used fastboot, i was abel to run fastboot commands, but was not able to do anythin successufly, example, i got device ID, but erase failed, even oem unlock. I believe the bootloader is still locked due to the update i received 4.5.145. Device is rooted.

Note i had unlocked and rooted and used all sorts of roms before, then reverted back to stock to simply get the 4.5.145 update, then re root.

I really need some assistance, anyone.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fragmentalstew:
I was able to get rid of the "battery too low" message by popping my battery out, cutting up a usb cable, and then plugging the cable into a usb charger ac adapter. The two cables I needed were red and black. Red went on positive lead. Black went on negative lead. I had to let it charge for at least a few hours. This is kind of dangerous and can cause a fire. Don't leave it unattended. Make sure the battery never gets hot. Mine never even got warm. I used three pieces of tape to secure the cable to the battery. I used scissors to cut the tape. One large piece of tape to hold the majority of the cable. One small piece of tape to hold the two shielded red and black wires in place, and another small piece of tape on the end to hold the wires onto the leads. Be careful not to let the wires cross over onto the any of the other leads.

But now I'm stuck. If I hold vol down, it will say "booting into nvflash recover mode" and then quickly go black. The led light goes off also. It's very quick...maybe half a second. I had to take a picture of it in order to be able to read what it says. If I hold vol up it will go to fastboot. If I press nothing it says "failed to boot 1". I can't go to rsd protocol or do anything else.

thanks man, that was the first rom i tried, but calling screen and most of the layout is android classic design. What i meant was, a theme that changes, contextual menus, the calling screen layout again, replaces the black background , etc

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xRogerxC:
Hello gents/ladies, I recently decided to change things up a bit, and flashed from CM 7.0.3 to Darkside Sense v3.0.0. As part of installing the new ROM, the file system was changed from Ext3 to Ext4. I have decided to go back to CM7, this Sense 3.5 Rom is just to buggy and laggy for me.

My question is, not knowing a whole lot about the difference in the two file systems, do I need to convert back to an Ext3 filesystem to run CM7, and if so, how do I safely go about doing this? I have searched around the forums, but have not found a definitive guide on how to do this, if it is necessary.

Thanks in advance for helping a n00b out :-)

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xRogerxC:
That's definitely what I'm trying to figure out, still searching.

Note: More searching reveals that Gingerbread ROM's use an Ext4 filesystem? If this is the case, then originally installing CM7 on my phone would have already been an Ext4 filesystem?? If so, I don't know why I was thinking it was converted by installing the Sense 3.5 ROM.
