[EVO 4G General] TecHNieK:
I went from the OG EVO to the NS4G. Had it for about 2 months and then went and got another OG EVO two days ago. Frequent dropped calls, i mean constantly to the point where i just had to get my EVO back. I think its just a samsung problem. also on the NS4G the back button sticks a lot or sometimes wont work at all, had the same problem with the Epic 4g. Also doesnt seem to be a lot of devs, theres not a wide selection of different roms as there are on the OG EVO section. it looks nice but ive learned my lesson with samsung phones went through 3 Epics and 2 NS4G all with hardware issues and service dropping
[EVO 4G General] stkiswr:
My wife has an epic and I told myself i wouldn't get any Samsung phone, but w ics around the corner I am curious what a stock build will function like...I will prob be back w my Evo if it treats me like that. My Evo is great. Just after a year I really am running out of things to do to it lol. Maybe I just need a break haha. Was ur ns4g rooted? My Evo has been for close to a year, class 10 card, extended battery. Cases.
[EVO 4G General] plainjane:
I don't have one, but my dad just got one so he's always calling me asking me how to do this or that. I've sat down with him a couple times and tried to explain stuff to him, but he's never owned a smartphone before and can barely operate his computer.

His battery life is insane, though. He forgets to turn mobile data on when he's out and wifi when he's at home, so he leaves both on all of the time. He's a fairly light user - emails, phone calls, checks weather, sports scores, etc. Last time I was over, I checked his battery usage and he was at 3 days off the charger & still had 30% left.

I didn't get battery life like that with my old flip phone.
[EVO 4G General] fenixjn:
Wait... so the phone does not switch all its data requests to the wifi (except MMS)? I thought that was done automatically whenever the phone was connected to a wifi network...
[EVO 4G General] plainjane:
No, it does. I'm just saying that he keeps his radios on all of the time - which is something that I don't do. If he uses his GPS he forgets to turn that off too.

My point was mainly that he does absolutely nothing to extend his battery life and still gets 2-4 days on one charge.
[EVO 4G General] stkiswr:
Yeah, I just unrooted and updated an og Droid for my dad, never owned a smartphone. I set it up w a few nice apps and when he came over the other night it had been on for 15 hrs and it was at 70 %. He said he was happy w the battery life lmao. Most use it got was here, he had questions. Wound up installing agile lock free because he liked my lockring haha. Even the og Droid was still fun to use. Definitely slower than my Evo, but it was stock and works great for him.

Well, I am pretty excited about this nexus. Hopefully it won't be a let down.

[Droid X General] MrRedPants:
Recently purchased a used Droid X - previously using an HTC incredible, both on Verizon. So, I have experience with rooting, custom ROMs, etc.

I have minimal experience with Motorola phones, however have been reading a lot and educationg myself, including stickies in this forum and elsewhere. I have been trying to answer my own questions by reading and not getting where I want so I decided to ask some direct questions.

According to the phone

System Version: 4.5.605.MB810.Verizon.en.US

Baseband version: BP_C_01.09.13P

There's also Kernel and Bulid information, not sure if it's relevant

Android 2.3.3

So, my end goal is to be running MIUI Rom on this phone - I have used it on my incredible for a while.

According to forum post on MIUI.US - forums.miui.us/showthread.php?8863-ROM-MIUI.us-DefX-1.10.21, I'm supposed to:

Installation Instructions:

1) SBF to .602 unless you're already on MIUI 1.10.7

2) Flash Rom

3) Wipe Cache

4) Re-enable root permissions in the superuser app.

5) Do not restore backups made before version 1.10.7.

So, I understand what SBF is - from what I'm understanding, I have 605 (a gingerbread ROM) - presumably a verizon stock ROM. So, in multiple places I read I have to SBF down to froyo to root the phone, then I can get to where I can flash a ROM. So, first question:

A. Is this true based on the ROM I have now? If so, which ROM? - is 602 the one referred to in a sticky where I can flash a ROM that is already gingerbread and rooted? Knowing which ROM if any to SBF to is probably the most confusing part from everything I've read.

I think once I understand that, I would know which sticky's instructions to follow and get on my way.

I think that covers it.
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
You can stay on .605.

There is a thread on rooting in the Droid X General forum, there is no need to downgrade.

Then install Droid 2 Bootstrapper and install MIUI.
[Droid X General] GornNR:
EDIT: Looked up MIUI for you.

Per the http://rootzwiki.com/topic/1613-rom81911miuius-official-miui4dx-1819/

So you have to SBF back to .340

I found this guide to be extremely easy to follow http://androidforums.com/droid-x-al...ad-602-sbf-root-process-updated-9-9-11-a.html

Simply use the .340 file from http://sites.google.com/site/1kdsdroidx/home

Once you have completed this root your device, Petes Root Tools or Z4root.

Install the bootstrap, would suggest using the Droid X2 Strap

Follow the MIUI instructions.

---Ignore the previous post here----

To root on a GingerRom use Petes Root Tool. Its REALLLLLY easy.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1258599

Then from there you need the Clockworks Recovery Mod for a Droid X2 (not the Droid X).

You can either get the bootstrap from market or free online. The market is just donating to the cause.

From there use the recovery to load your choice in roms according to the instructions. This is usually a Wipe/Reset, Install from Zip and Reboot.

If you wanted to SBF or need to from a failed install, bootloop, etc then there are several guides to get you fixed up. Such as http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1020203
[Droid X General] runnirr:
Just fyi, the old miui is 340 the new releases are on the gingerbread kernel. I didn't read the whole post but you can run miui from 605 as I am, as I write this post.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ATTsuks:
Last night I tried the star chart app for the first time in a while, and I noticed it wouldn't rotate and wouldn't show where I was looking.

Does anyone else have problems with their orientation sensor (specifically the compass?) if you haven't tried, download Androsensor quick, it's 200K and see if Y moves more than about 20 degrees. It should, but it doesn't for me. It's stuck. Is this something I can return it for? I really need a few of the apps that use the compass...

And to verify it, if you want, you can download GPS Test which has a compass and it should not rotate much if at all.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] madman_sle:
Mines working properly on CM7, what software are you running? I had issues like that on my last phone running certain roms.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jvanlew:
What do you mean the compass should not rotate in GPS Test? Do you mean if it's just sitting there on a counter or are you saying yours doesn't move when you hold it and spin to N, E, S, and W? The compass in my GPS Test goes to 0, 90, 180, and 270 respectively. I'm on the UCKJ4 GB leak that was posted yesterday.
[Epic 4G General] cubajean10:
Soo yes I have searched but i'm a bit confused still about keywords, maybe pc analogy help?

rom is like an os version of a pc

theme is just how your menus look

kernel?

modem?

any must read guide to learn all of this terminology?

why would i want eh17, which i have on, over ec05?

thanks for the help :D
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
kernels are your kernels and drivers, as usual, and modem would be like your wifi files and the files that would run a mobile broadband unit, i guess
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Say ROM is more like the BIOS and kernel like the OS but like a PC they have to work together. Modem is the software that drives the hardware radios. So like maybe network software driving a router? Or the software that controls the physical modem on your PC.

[Epic 4G General] cubajean10:
wow

wow thanks everyone for the replies :D i'm really getting to understand this stuff better, so .. whats eh17 a modem?

and some roms come with a kernel and some dont?

also I'm asking so many questions to thank the great developers :o
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Most roms come with a kernel, unless it says so, otherwise it wouldn't boot. If it doesn't, it says to flash a kernel after. Eh17 is a ROM, but includes a new modem and kernel. Samsung roms (typically) have new modems and kernels in their updated roms.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
EH17 is basically a build number in a date code. It is also the label of the modem that comes with that build. E is for 2011, H is translated into a number for the month which is 8 for August and 17 is the day.
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
17 is the build # for the month.
[Epic 4G General] Sohip:
let me explain too :)

Samsung latest leak is EH17 (which prepackages both EH17 Rom + EH17 Modem)

but if you would like too, you can use Eh17 Rom with older Modems like EH06, EC05 EG22, etc...

or you can use older Roms EH06, EC05 EG22 etc.... with different Modems including the latest EH17 Modem

The reason behind this mix and match, some roms may react differently to certain modems.. like some people say that when they use EC05 modem with whatever rom they have they get better signal or better battery life or maybe even to improve the GPS reception?

but the best advice is to follow what the the developer of the rom says... like for example, when Decad3nce recommend using the EH17 modem with his CM7 Rom (which is based on EH17 Rom btw)... you should do so.

I hope this answer was helpful to you and others maybe :p

I hope not. From the way it sounded, it may well be a film to apply over the glass. But how you would apply it to the underside...it's likely a factory applied item. Had it been a single-sided application, they could sell it as a film for purchase separately.

I can't see why you can't do DIY way, open your phone, attach the anti-glare film under your Gorilla glass. Now, enjoy it (without any side-effects).
[General Topics] upichie:
Placing it behind the glass may not give the desired results, and will probably still reduce sensitivity (depending on your phone).

Are there also any anti-glare screen protectors that don't look like ****? I haven't seen one, they all provide some haggard looking appearance to the device. I'm assuming this new screen tech would somehow avoid this as I would hate to have to deal with such a hit to the display. Until then I'll just stick to the tried, annoying and true method of cranking the brightness or cupping my hand to block the glare.

[General Topics] manimmal:
Awesome! But I do agree with AllGamer. Hope they plan to implement that with flexible AMOLED screens as well!
[General Topics] neuTrue:
I wouldn't suggest nor recommend wasting your HD2 on this. Simply, from economical point of view, it doesn't worth it risks.

If we want to discuss this matter with physics in mind, you will realize its doesn't matter at which surface the anti-glare film applied to. Given that the upper surface (The glass or plastic) is transparent. Actually, Nokia is applying such films on top of internal screen (Not the cover or the outer shell of mobile).

Now from my old experience, I can summarize you the following:

Anti-glare films can be easily scratched.

A protector is really needed on top of anti-glare films if applied on outer case.

Having a multi-anti-glare films reduced somehow the in-room brightness with a trade of in a clear visibility in sunny conditions.

By using a 3M scotch guard film on top of anti-glare films, I can claim of having a better contrast in overall visibility. Actually black is more black (Nokia's current ClearBlack might be using the same technique, perhaps?).
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
i have a surplus of HD2s. I think I have 6 due to a Craigslist addiction
[General Topics] upichie:
Holy, share the wealth. :p

I certainly don't think applying an anti-glare film and tape on top of that would be very good, regardless of the reduced glare. You'd probably have to step on your phone to register a gesture. ;)
[General Topics] JavaKrypt:
It is a nice concept, but we won't see it around properly for a few years. Wonder what the issue will be with screen protectors going above the films - since they're on the front and back of the glass. I doubt they're scratch resistant right now. They might develop something better in the future!
[General Topics] -SG-:
This is very cool.
[General Topics] JPeterson66:
That would be pretty freaking cool
[General Topics] loganmc10:
I'm just looking forward to the flexible (bendable) glass, that looks super cool
[General Topics] neuTrue:
One word, lol. Seriously? I didn't expect this from you, buying Nokia goods rather than HTC seemed more logical in your case. One word my friend, if I were you I'd go and sell them as soon as possible and try to recover as much money as I could :)

Actually it works fine , well at lest to me. Also, I wasn't speaking about normal tape. The film that seems to make black more black (to my eyes), is called 3M Scotchgard Paint Protection Film the same material that Invisible Shield uses.

About, the concerns of decreasing touch sensitivity you shouldn't fear it. I can proximate a 10% decreasing in touch sensitivity which isn't a big deal. However, if you are applying it directly to the screen (like Nokia and others), you wont get any decrease in touch sensitivity, basically in the latter case you aren't touching the digitizer so you are safe to go.

On other news, sorry for the late response.

But Super Amoled screens lik eteh one in Samsung Galaxy S2 isnt bad too.

For what its worth I don't think the hangup is Samsung and lies more in the hands of Sprint who apparently have had a Samsung update submission and haven't done anything with it...for various reasons given I don't understand.

In addition to Samsung stepping up their game since the Samsung S's releases (namely beginning with SGS2 they also tried to counter their poor update record.

During the time I had the SGS2 from April through July we had THREE Samsung updates...coming fairly quickly after known issues.

The carrier here is the roadblock.

Lesson? Get the Nexus Prime.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
The problem with the idea that Sprint is holding up the updates is three fold:

1) Why would Sprint hold up the LOS fix? They're losing money on constant credits and device exchanges.

2) Samsung has a history, no matter what carrier, of not being anywhere near prompt with updates.

3) Also, why would Sprint hold up updates for only Samsung devices? Other device makers don't seem to have issues.

I think the fact is, Samsung sees the international market as more important than the U.S., and is even less concerned with the CDMA market.

I mean, she wouldn't anyone want to know what their battery percentage is, or have options for their dock and lock screen style, or not throw their battery and performance in the dumpster!

Not only does CM put out awesome ROMs in a timely manner, they do it across like twenty devices and eight manufacturers for free! ! ! Friggin miraculous. Anyway, thank you! Let's not be impatient because the miracle takes a couple weeks longer than convenient.
