funny, I watch pretty much all my tv shows on my phone as well and get them from quicksilverscreen. Download the divx versions and they play just fine. You don't have to use 720p versions of video.
[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
as I said, some shows I can only find in 720. id convert them on my pc but then that's download -> convert -> copy back to phone. blah.. ! que sera sera
[Thunderbolt General] TabGuy:
In the short period I've had the Thunderbold, since August, I'm on my third one. The first one had a wifi failure. The second one had a data connection failure. The third one has been stable.

However, I'm moving onto the Galaxy Nexus when it comes out.

I've been an Android user sicne the original Droid in November 2009. I have a Galaxy Tab and much prefer the Honeycomb/Ice Cream Sandwich interface to the Gingerbread.
[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
Just thought i'd say auf wiederhören!

I no longer have a mighty Thunderbolt.

I now have it's big brother... Rezound.

p.s. this phone has pink buttons

[General Questions and Answers] Tdersch:
I recently tried rooting two different SD cards (8g Kingston and 16g PNY) for my color nook. I was rooting CM7 and google apps. I used xda for directions and it worked great except for the following issue. Once I rooted the sd cards they both show the wrong capacity. They both went to 115mb total. I tried formatting, but they only allow me to format the 115mb.

Any ideas how I can recover my total capacity of these sd cards? Also, is there some other way to root that want cause this issue?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] vlastimirs:
Yes, this happened to me just a few minutes ago while trying to root my Nook Touch. I used dd from linux to write the image directly to the card.

Now i have a 78MB card instead of 8GB :(

this is what dmesg tells me:
[General Questions and Answers] Tdersch:
Well at least I am not the only one. Was hoping after this much time someone would have had some info from XDA.
[General Questions and Answers] kwkbnk:
Had this happen to my sdcard but from another reason. Had to use a partition manager to repartition and reformat the card. I used Eeasus Partition manager.
[General Questions and Answers] Tdersch:
That partition manager worked. It took me a little while to figure it out. A little trial and error, but I got my 8g back. Now I might try to put CM7 root on it again and see if I can adjust the partition.

Thanks kwkbnk and hope it helps vlastimirs as well.

Hi - I installed the Valhalla 1.3.2 yesterday and then flashed KJ6 modem since i heard KJ6 has better wifi signals, but when i try to connect to wifi i still see poor signal. Is there any fix available for this ?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
Not really. I have not noticed any real difference with any of the gb modems.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ddang25377:
If you must have wifi, use odexed KJ6 (odin version) and root with Doomlord's method. It's almost perfect imho.

The bad part is you lose cwm & ext4.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
KJ6 for me definitely was an improvement, however, it's not as good as Froyo was.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ddang25377:
Are you using a deodexed rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
All GB roms have poor wifi. Once GB becomes official you would hope that type of connection get's better. If not Froyo is still an option if you realy need wifi
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daxecutioner24:
Yeah kj6 improved wifi but it still unacceptable compare to froyo and a official gb
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] candler33w:
has anyone been brave enough to find a modem from another Galaxy S phone with the same hardware? It might be an option. Its only a guess though because I am by no means an expert.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Light-라이트:
Ki3 ftw.~
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] candler33w:
I started on KI3 when I went from FroYo to Octane GB 2.3.5 and then switched to KJ6. both have been around -65db when Im about 10 feet away from the router. on FroYo I was usually around -45db.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] venkatgg:
The strange part is i upgraded to Valhalla 1.3.2 from Stock leak 2.3.5 KI1 and it was working perfectly. Earlier when i was in KI1 my battery life was amazing used to get around 2 full days now after upgrading to Valhalla it is draining very fast. I have already installed Juice defender and Andreline Tweak v12.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Aldreth:
I also have expetienced these issues. I foubd Black Ice was most reliable, followed by Octaine, and then Valhalla 1.3.2. I also find that. Wifi does more poorly on low battery (<35%) but I know voltage should be a constant so there's no rationale to that behavior I can divine. Its not an anecdotal observation though, I ran the DbM timeline and it supported my suspicions. I wonder if this would be due to some software side battery optimizations Samsung threw in.

I eagerly anticipipate trying.the 2.3.6 kernel with fingers crossed.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
The modem.bin doesn't control the wifi. If you want good wifi see my thread in the dev section

*the mod only works with 2.3.5 or higher
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Aldreth:
Tehgy is right about that, I think if there's any optimizations to be had they are modded through build.prop functions and possibly SysCtl also. Unless you have a healthy amount of development knowledge on a coding level, the only solutions are to rely on Tehgy and other more experoenxed developers and/or extensively test various combinations of ROM/Kernel flashes with as much isolation of usage variables as possible.

Do not count out anecdotal use case experiences as irrelevant, the sum of these observations helps developers to locate variance and provides clues as to where to begin searching or modifying relevant code.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ericc2728:
Sorry for such a newbie question but I can't find an answer in any forums. I used to be able to get access to both my external and internal sd card when i plugged into my windows 7 laptop. it would show as a new device SPD something. When i clicked on that icon in windows explorer it would break out two different drives the External and Internal. After flashing starburst rom and plugging in the device, it just shows an (F) Drive which is my standard storage. My phone then asks me for USB mass storage permission and it goes into mass storage mode. Clicking on F will bring me to my external SD card but I can't figure out how to access data on the built in memory chip. Any help would be appreciated!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElAguila:
If you got to Settings>Applications>Development and check allow usb debugging it should detect both cards as removable drives that you can access.
[LG Optimus 3D] mad_sunday:
Does anyone have one of these or know if this will help us with bricked phones, installing updates, flashing firmware etc?

Pete
[LG Optimus 3D] AeRo0:
From what I understand its there so you don't have to hold the vol up button when you plug in your phone to flash the baseband, but I did it with the normal cable so its not required
[LG Optimus 3D] mad_sunday:
So what's the LG service mode?
[LG Optimus 3D] jimakos29:
it is for lazy people who want to enter service mode without pressing vol up button...
[Verizon Droid Charge] Chitala383:
When turning on the gps services is there an way to not have to click "agree" to every one and just have it turn on when u hit the check mark? I'm lazy and don't like hitting extra buttons if i don't have to. I mean, if I'm turning it on then obviously i agree to whatever it's trying to tell me, right? Haha.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
I dont have my phone up as Im flashing right now but either A. leave it on as I read conflicting as if it hurts or not. B. when you pull down cant you just toggle on/off and not get the message or C. have the power control widget which lets you turn on/off wifi , bluetooth etc.. As I said my phone isnt up at then momoent so just throwing stuff out there.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Chitala383:
I don't want to just leave it on as to try to conserve battery life, and whether u use the notification pull down or they power control widget u still have to hit agree.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
Yeah I got my phone up and saw that. Sorry , maybe try a market app.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Chitala383:
I'm kinda thinking it might have to be a framework change. any devs up for it?
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
It just took me 22 minutes to get a GPS fix. Sad.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
leaving GPS on uses 0 battery unless you are using an app that requires GPS
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
Still doesn't explain why it took 22 minutes to lock on to a signal.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
it took 22 seconds because the GPS in Samsungs arent that great...they work but not very quick or accurate. It works better for some people than others.
[HTC EVO 3D] xero4one:
Hello, Ive been searching and reading all day and can't find a way to flash the HTC Evo 3d to Boost Mobile. I just bought one a few hours ago and it will be here in a couple days. I would rather not buy a tutorial or pay someone to flash it for me. When I had sprint I rooted and flashed my HTC Hero without any problems but that was easier to find info for. Could any please point me in the right direction. Also can it be done without cloning the ESN... would like to keep it as legal as possible lol.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dc2mx:
Hi all, i need someone to answer my questions below

my Galaxy Tab GT P1000 is now still running in Android 2.2 Froyo Rooted with superoneclick.

can i just update the firmware to 2.3 gingerbread through official samsung kies program on pc ?

Or i have to unroot my galaxy tab to update to official ginger bread 2.3 update ?

And just to let you know that i just deleted mine preinstalled swype and installed new swype beta.not sure if it's safe to install an official update.

Before i rooted my tab the samsung kies program found a new firmware update for my tab which has some long code and jpi something i can't remember it correctly,not really sure if it is gingerbread update

I just notice that when i open more than 2 apps some apps automatically closes itself.does anyone know what is causing it ?

Samsung kies kinda sucks since the usb connection kept disconnecting it's kinda hard to backup stuff.not to mention backup some small files takes ages too.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddyzenl:
U can update via official samsung kies program on pc directly.

If kies find you already root or ROM broken, it will help you to flash a new official rom, just follow kies.
[Epic 4G General] mtwow789:
Hello fellow Epic 4G users,

I am wondering what kind of plans you guys have for using the Epic until you are eligible for upgrade?

For me, I bought Epic on last October, so I have to wait until August 2012 to be eligible. I've been taking good care of Epic and all these custom rom is giving new life so I am satisfied for now. But I still wonder if I can be satisfied next year. I might even consider paying ETF and sell Epic and goto other carrier or something.

Wondering if most people will just stick to their phone and wait patiently until upgrade is due.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
I'm sticking with it until July at least. Then, if I find a suitable upgrade, ill get it

Sent from my Samsung Legendary 4G, a Universe UTES phone, running "two.three.five"
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
I'm thinking of picking up a nexus s 4G. Epic upgrade isn't until November 2012
[Epic 4G General] sgtkwol:
Hoping that CM7 (and hopefully 9) can keep me happy enough until I can upgrade to, hopeful again, to the Galaxy Nexus. I'm also on the lookout for a good low cost Nexus S, but not holding my breath for one in my price range.
[Epic 4G General] worldwidepmp:
Sitting on my upgrade until LTE hits DC!
[Epic 4G General] dchawk81:
I'm already eligible. I don't care about anything without the letters E T and L on it somewhere when taking my obligatory mirror photo. I'm not willing to shackle myself to WiMax again since it'll never arrive here.
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
This exact scenario unless the Nexus drops on Sprint before New Years. Though GB on this phone has been impressive and worth the wait.
[Epic 4G General] dohturdima:
I am eligible now, and am out of contract. My SERO plan is cheap but Sprint's coverage has not improved and data speeds have deteriorated. LTE plans or not, Sprint's long-term future isn't all that clear to me. I am nowhere near as comfortable tying myself into a 2 year contract as I was 2 years ago, with ETF fees now as high as AT&T and VZW's.
[Epic 4G General] TexasLTE:
I already have 1 line available for upgrade that I was gonna use for Nexus ( once it's available on Sprint ) but I think I'm just gonna wait for LTE next year as well .... looking forward to some CM7 ( or better ) for our "Legendary" EPIC ! :)
[Epic 4G General] phatryan69:
hopefully we will still have devs around makin roms and everything cause the samsung moment ppl are still makin roms and everything for becuz mostly everyone got the moment then year a year later way better phones come out. so its a high possiblity!

*fingers crossed*
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
It'll be ok. I promise.
[Epic 4G General] ghostrid3r:
October 2012 here too... Also a SERO Premium customer. Trying to hold out for the LTE deployment then see how that pans out, then decide which ever comes first.
[Epic 4G General] dchawk81:
I don't have it but when I get to use it in the Baltimore/DC area it's not much better than good 3G here, with 3G there being unusable.

In other words, I have to turn it on down there just to get the same quality as 3G here.
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
I can ditch the epic at any given time,I bought this phone off-contract and pay month by month for it. Though ever since I've moved from the big city of Dallas, Tx to a little city in Oregon, I haven't the need of a newer phone with 4G, as there aren't any 4g towers of any carrier available to my area. I'm thinking moving to Portland once I can afford to. Seems all Major Metropolitan cities have all these little perks. I'm sticking with the Epic until CM9 if it ever comes to existance. I don't upgrade unless its a worthy innovative improvement. My last phone was a TP2.
[Epic 4G General] worldwidepmp:
I hardly ever use WiMax and I get almost full bars of it. Very underwhelming IMO but, I was dead set on getting the ET4G, eh not so much anymore. The Epic can and will hold me over until LTE/LTE devices hits my market.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
My phone is awesome! And until another comes out faster and better with a keyboard I will be more than satisfied not having to pay an ETF or $500 for a phone. I may keep it well past July if there is nothing that I really have to have.
[Epic 4G General] a2tz:
Keeping this until another keyboard phone comes along or something truly amazing comes out. I've been upgrade elligble for several months.
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
Now with the GB update, it feels like a new phone. Probably be holding on to my Epic for quite a while unless something comes out that wows me. Minimum will have to be a phone with ICS already on it and LTE radios.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Same here. I used another line's upgrade to get the epic. There's nothing else I want out there right now. A keyboard is an absolute must for me. Can't go back after having a device with a keyboard for 10yrs. The Epic does everything I need it do to and very well at that. I still get comments today on my phone when people see the screen.
[Epic 4G General] counterfeit187:
As long as cm7 keeps improving I'll keep this phone until sprint releases a dual core with keyboard, even then I might hold out until I break or lose this one. I mean damn, if it works, why pay 200 for the next one?
[Epic 4G General] VooDooOmen:
I'm going to upgrade when I can no longer stand my Epic (which is likely not for a while - the Epic is still a very capable phone), or when I can no longer stand Sprint (which is closing in on reality - quickly).
[Epic 4G General] Smuuv:
I'm sitting on an upgrade on my second line until the Galaxy Nexus comes out. I've decided to give the pure Google experience a try after dealing with slow updates with the Moment and now the Epic. I want ICS and will not buy a promised device again.
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
I think I'm going to use it to call and text people, mostly... seems pointless to hang on to it and keep paying the bill, otherwise
[Epic 4G General] lepapirriky:
I also wanted the 4g touch but seeing the phone, its really isn't much that my phone can also do, and like everyone else a keyboard is a must for me but seeing the new phones that are coming kb is facing out and I'm affraid there won't be any kb phone again, since the new IN now is slim phones. For sure I'll wait until LTE is coming because I barely use wimax, just the fact that you have to turn it on and off everytime(I mostly use wifi) just kills it for me, before this phone I owned the TP2 and I loved it!

Hopefuly the GN comes to sprint, because I'm not buying any other phones that isn't Nexus because waiting for updates sucks :S
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
I've been eligible. Nothing is worth the "upgrade" right now. I'm waiting for the quads
[Epic 4G General] pixlz:
I'm keeping my epic till I see a phone with a few specific features and feels like a major upgrade.

This is easilly the best keyboard phone I've ever used. With the proper, rom battery turns amazing.

My next phone will be LTE. It'll have a comparable keyboard. I want it to have an NFC chip. It'll have a nicer screen. it'll have at least a 2mb front facing camera and a 8mb back. I'm thinking it might be quad core.

And I want it to be eligible on the sero premium plan... though considering the epic already is, I don't think that'll be an issue.

I rocked an M1 for years just because I couldn't find something better. With opera mini, that tiny phone was a powerhouse for its time.

I feel the same about my Epic. Good speed, beautiful screen, and not easilly outshined by other phones.

sent from my Epic... in the middle of somewhere.
[Epic 4G General] zenmaster00:
I've been upgrade-eligible, but imo Sprint doesn't yet carry a phone with significantly improved features over the Epic. On top of the upgrade eligibility, I recently cracked my screen :(. So if I'm spending the cash, I'd really like to get a good replacement. Looks like it'll be next year before they offer something.
[Epic 4G General] tuksonmike:
Thats my problem, I like the keyboard, but it seems like they just arent in demand anymore. I get frustrated with the touch pads since I have large hands.

Theres nothing wrong with my Epic, but its just nice to have new phones once in a while... im sure thats just programmed into our minds just like IPhone swingers have to drop $600 for the newest version that changes nothing everytime one comes out.
[Epic 4G General] tkeyes:
i dont have an full upgrade till aug, but if i can find an cheap nexus4g or evo3d, ill jump on it. if not ill just wait till the lte phone come in spring/summer time.
[Epic 4G General] adelmundo:
After the GB update, the phone really feels like a new phone again. My Froyo experience was terrible. I'll keep my phone until my next upgrade only if a Nexus phone with LTE comes to Sprint.
[Epic 4G General] NissanNick:
I am switching.. But for some reason all the other carriers are getting great new phones and Sprint is kinda stagnate. I would love the Razor but i want something that i can swap battery's with.

I have a upgrade waiting!!! Come on sprint where are the new phones... (no the iphone does not count)
[Epic 4G General] JettMartinez:
I'll have mine till Nov '12 at least. Then it'll probably take something with LTE and a hardware keyboard to make the switch.
[Epic 4G General] jasonsf:
I won't upgrade until there is a decent LTE phone. Quad core would be nice, too.
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
So I think that previously you could get a new phone at 22 months into a 24 month contract. Now that they closed the Sprint Premier program I think you can get one at 20 months, which would put me at June of next year. My wife's phone is out of contract, and I could get a new phone using her upgrade right now, but there just isn't anything I want. I want a physical QWERTY and a BIG quality screen. I would also like to get something that gets official software direct from Google (BS slow Samsung software upgrades).

That said, there isn't anything that I want now, or in the announced/leaked future.
[Epic 4G General] :
Is it even known if Sprint will get the Galaxy Nexus? Most sources are reporting that it's a VZW exclusive, which is very disappointing. You would think a developer phone like the Nexus would be carrier agnostic.
[Epic 4G General] Jmax0420:
I think gb has brought a whole new life to this phone. And i hope they make an official cm7 for it. I heard rumors a couple months ago of a galaxy s III that is suposed to be in progress. Dont know if it is true but not in a rush as having the keyboard is a big feature for me. I have been with sprint for just over 10 years. And even though people always think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. It usualy isnt. Everyone i know that has left sprint for 1 reason or another has come back. Anyway epic still has a good chunk of life left so "VIVA LA EPIC"
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
That don't start until your next upgade...sorry. still 22 months unless you upgraded after October. Then it goes to 20 months.
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
Thanks for the clarification. :)

Although it doesn't change the fact that there isn't anything out there that I want.
[Epic 4G General] souljahp:
I switched over to NS4G I bought on ebay, upgrade eligibility isn't until Nov of 2012. I want to use ICS until I see where both Sprint as a provider and what phones are being offered at the time of upgrade before I renew a 2yr contract.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
My phone is upgradable in June 2012, but I don't think I'll be buying a new phone until November since that's usually when all the good stuff comes out (for example, next November there will probably be a new nexus phone with Jelly Bean (4.1? 5.0? who knows? :p)
[Epic 4G General] bullinthechinashop:
I think I might actually keep mine for two years.

I was gonna jump ship a go to Verizon since my Sprint reception has really gone down the toilet the past few weeks. My 3G is very slow and Sprint doesn't have 4G in my area.

Verizon just put up an additional tower in my area in August and they have 4G in my area.

But I just ran Quadrant & got a score of 1350 the first time & 1574 the second time.

So now I'm thinking I might go ahead & keep it & just add a Photon on a second line rather than pay Sprint $350 ETF in the hopes that the grass is greener on the other side.
[Epic 4G General] Dsparil:
I love my phone, but the Sprint network has gone to crap since we've gotten the iPhone 4S, so I might be paying an ETF and getting a new phone on contract.

I'm waiting for the first Tegra 3 LTE phone to come out, and I'll take it from there.

Verizon now upped 2gb to 4gb, but AT&T has mobile to any mobile, and the price comes out to be about $5 more than my current Sprint plan.

Through out the year that I've had my Epic, I've never even reached a gig of data yet.
[Epic 4G General] Qwallace70129:
I use about 10gb a month.......I'm sticking with my epic until the end.....10/2012
[Epic 4G General] noobnl:
We are bringing CyanogenMod 7.1 to the epic. Expect to see new radical changes to the kernel and sooner or later, we are going to merge with CyanogenMod branch.

We are bringing more AOSP features like MTD/YAFFS2 and AOSP booting methods like ramdisk and kernel separate. EI22 Kernel sources are based on the Nexus S 4g kernel sources. That makes it easier to change the kernel to more AOSP based. Stay tuned for more further development.
