sorry, to be clear, i am having a hard time with the handsfree activation after flashing a rom to this device.

many folks seem to request the exact opposite built into roms for this phone. meaning upon install and reboot, the rom will not run and complete handsfree activation.

no roms seems to have in the description that handsfree activation is supported.

does that make a little more since? if not let me know and i can give more details

thanks all

cheers,

disco
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
All roms have hands free supported that's why you don't see it mentioned. You only activate once brand new out of the box not everytime you flash a rom. Unless you mean the google activation then just open then market and sign in then your google acct is then activated
[Epic 4G General] rocket321:
I agree, you only have to activate once ever, until you get a new phone. This is a non issue as a result.
[Epic 4G General] TallCan211:
That makes a little more since...

I just got my phone.

Ohhhhh!

Get it? Sense the OP didn't spell it right?

Ohhhhh!

Just flipped it on my ass. Like a boss.

Sorry. Drank a Steel Reserve, a couple "C-"s and smoked a blunt during my horrible loss in softball tonight. Thought that was funny.

Good night everybody. Love you all.

I was referring to a while back noobnl started a thread about checking off extra things in odin in relation to clearing nvram or something back when we were trying everything under the sun to fix the gps. I don't remember exactly but when you did it your phone went back too literally out of the box condition deactivated and all.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Never saw anyone requesting on the Epic threads that their phone not activate when switching ROMs. Maybe you saw that on a different phone. The only thing requested here was to stop the OTA update notification.
[Epic 4G General] rgregg504:
How did the phone become deactivated
[Epic 4G General] disco_y2k:
the phone was completely wiped, it was a gimme from a friend, i wiped it totally and started fresh. rooted, flashed rom, etc, (froyo) and now after rest it of course starts handsfree act but it crashes before activation finishes.

depending on rom, sometimes the MIN/MDN updates before crash which allows voice/txt only. thats about it. maybe its not the rom's, but i assumed since some will at least go that far. i can not see how it would be anything else because the phone started out as if it came from manu. fresh.

thanks for input everyone, much appreciated :)

cheers,

disco
[Epic 4G General] rocket321:
How about using stock rom to activate before flashing a custom? You can nandroid your current setup and restore to it after you activate.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
have you updated the profile?
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Ok thanks for more info. You need to have to sprint activate that call sprint from a different phone. We can get away with it because we have already had the phone's footprint on our record. You have to call sprint so they can add to it to your account.
[Epic 4G General] disco_y2k:
i will take the advice of both of you guys, i appreciate the help.

i will flash to latest OEM, as suggested, and also not rely on the OTA/IOTA auto activation and give in and call sprint.

evo and acclaim never required that, that's why i was so frustrated, thanks for the help guys!

cheers,

disco

--------- EDIT -------------

to be ultra clear the ESN/MEID on the phone was swapped. i was not trying to activate an ESN that was a random for free
[Epic 4G General] rocket321:
Depends on several factors. I had to call to put an evo on my line before. This is not specific to the phone but more about your account with sprint.

I forgot until now, but of you log into sprint website and click change phone you can probably avoid a phone call.

I'm using the latest calkulin e4gt rom. The kernel it came with is rogue something. I'm wondering if I can use Lostkernal with this rom because I keep losing signal. Will I lose battery performance? How exactly do I switch out kernels?

Many thanks, new rom user.

Samsung longest phone name ever 4g touch
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] schwab002:
You can flash another kernal. Use Clockworkmod to flash it.

This video is a bit old, but it's an easy tutorial to follow:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZWyJ4N01Is

I'm not sure if LoSt kernal will affect the battery any differently than rogue, but I suspect it won't.

If LoS is that bad of an issue for you, and you haven't flashed the eg31 modem in the past, go look for how to install the new EK02 modem in the development forum. It appears to be the new modem to solve LoS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Pretty much all our kernels are interchangeable so far. Just do a backup to be sure.

As an iPhone user, I want to know why the people in this community prefer Android, what makes Andorid phones “Smart” to you.

I know customization is a big one for most people, it used to be my number one as well. I used WinMo since the 2003 edition, then the HTC Hero. However slowed I became tired of it, and I realized customization is a pretty big waste of time. At the end of the day, having the option for a customized user experience doesn’t mean it’s a better experience. Power hungry news widgets, youtube widgets, facebook widgets are quite gimmicky and almost useless. The only things useful were the quick settings.

This is just my opinion on the customization argument. Don’t hate.

For me, features that makes life easier makes phones smart, and iPhone has a number of them that gets used all the time:

Wireless sync without hassle (plug in the power, no button pushing at all)

Air Play, wirelessly play music on my speakers (I have yet to get a apple TV, but able to wirelessly stream video would be pretty cool too)

iPod with music controls on the Lock Screen, and also multi-tasking bar. These little things really makes the overall experience top notch.

Facetime/iMessage – I love native apps, so fast, easy, reliable.

I want to make a switch to Android because I want a larger screen (G NOTE!), but I don’t know enough about the OS to overcome the pros of iPhone.

What features/apps do you use all the time that are great and exclusive to Android?

So far im thinking:

Better Gmap, youtube, actual folders, screen size, independence from computer. What else?

All I can say is wow, I have an iphone 4, ipad 2, galazy tab 10.1 and galaxy s2. Everything you mentioned can be done on andriod with the exception of itunes crap, lets not forget that half the stuff you mentioned were actually on andriod a long time ago.( Apple always announces producta as new but in reality their just really stating they can now do it. Just google specific app types for what you have listed and you will find them easily.
[Android General] zimp2012:

[Android General] hungry81:
You don't like customisation? you probrobly still won't like android. None of the features you mentioned are impressive they are availible to android phones in one form or another. WHat makes android smart is its ability to be how you want it. If you like being told how to use your phone and what to do with it, stick with apple, or try wp7. If you want your phone to keep suprising you go for an android handset. Some apps you may need to set up once. That goes for any phone.
[Android General] DarkMaster3960:
I have chosen android because of the great community of developers and the possibility to use customroms.

Even if you need some apps that aren't stock from the market, Android is a better experience. With some tweaks (legally, opositive as Jailbreak), like ROOT and unlock bootloader, you have everything you need and don't need in no time.

Android is the way you want it. I used a little of his iPhone and entered on the App Store. That thing don't have NOTHING. No substitute music app, video app. And the things I saw have 2.5 of 5 in ''points'' (sorry, coudn't find the correct word), and in Android Market most of apps have 4.0 or more.

The thing I want to say is, with Apple, in my opinion, you pay for things you won't have. Processors are from Samsung, camera sensors are from Sony, desing is horrible, in my opinion, compared to Xperia Arc.

But all of this is my opinion.

Sorry for english, btw

I would say large number of wrapper classes
[Android General] Falkner09:
well, actually all the things you mention there are on Android; in fact they were already on it long before the iPhone could do it.

music control on lock screen - Android has had it for a long time, I think since first release. in fact, there are several music player apps that are able to set their own controls to the lock screen, Player Pro is one of the most popular. I prefer btunes though, which you might like because it's basically an exact copy of the iOS player with some enhancements that I was really craving back when I had my iPod.

speaking of, Android's stock music player app is pretty good, although a fave feature of mine is the ability to download alternate ones if you wish, many of which have a wealth of feature the iOS app really out to have by now. as for your music itself....

wireless sync - Android could do this before iOS. in fact, it could wirelessly sync with itunes months (maybe over year or more) before Apple even announced the feature for iOS, which only a month ago received the feature. just use Doubletwist, or iSyncr wifi, (both allow it over wifi or USB). for a good long time now, these apps and others have allowed this. i prefer iSyncr, as it allows you to sync only the checked songs in Itunes. USB can be configured to sync automatically at plug in, and the wifi add on allows it to be set to auto sync at certain times of day, on the hours, every four hours, every 8 hours or manually. it also lets you auto sync and upload new music, photos and videos, default to your iTunes folder but you can set it to send the anywhere else on your computer that you like. best of all, the USB version can sync with any Mac or PC running iTunes without installing ANY programs on said computers, and the wifi version only needs a very small counterpart program installed on it, which is free and can be loaded to your phone's own sd card for easy installation if you don't have a connection on the comp at the time. configuration is easy, but only takes once, and anyway both versions come with common, good options preset if you wish.

Also, Doubletwist does Airplay on android, as do several other apps, although I can't say much about them because I never really got into local vid streaming. I'm told they work great though.

there's also more options for buying music on Android, as we have Amazon MP3 and now google music to download directly to the device or through your computer, and of course, iTunes through your comp if you wish.

as for multitasking bar, well Android had that too, you hold the home button and it shows a list of recent apps. there's lots of additional third party options for this too, like alternate home screen launchers and such that allow scrollable docks.

I know you said you don't like widgets, but of course you don't have to use them. there are several widgets that also add multitasking capabilities too, like circle launcher and some folder-type organizers.

God I write too much. anyway, check out some of the apps I mentioned on the Market website.

https://market.android.com/
[Android General] garychencool:
The ability to do basically anything on it, customized it so it fits your needs, and being unique from other devices.

And you can change to a thrid party keyboard instead of using the stock keyboard.

OK which i have SwiftKey X.
[Android General] silveraero:
In some words, iOS does not have everything Android has but Android likely has everything iOS has and more than that.
[Android General] Falkner09:
That's a good way to put it, yes. In fact, Android users got quite a kick out of the iOS 5 unveiling a few months ago; it was widely noted that of all the "new" features unveiled, every single one of them was actually stolen directly from the Android OS, or one of it's popular exclusive apps, except for iMessaging, which came from BlackBerry.

It really angered a lot of people actually, because Apple even copied the pull down notification menu, renamed it the notification "center" and still proceeded to sue every Android dvice manufacturer it can, claiming they infringe on things like scrolling, anything with a touchscreen, rounded corners, black borders, etc.
[Android General] 03civicdx:
I think the real question. Is why not android? Not much you can't do with these devices.
[Android General] liquidzoo:
I had a Droid, sold it and went to iPhone. There are some features I prefer on iOS compared to android. Syncing to iTunes for one. When I was on my Droid, doubletwist was in its infancy and didn't work all the time. If it does now, that's a big plus.

My iPhone plugs directly into my car stereo via usb, so it charges and plays at the same time. Not sure if something like that is possible on android, but it wasn't at the time to my knowledge.

I prefer the music app on the iPhone and the way it manages everything. Again, that has likely improved.

I recently got another android device in my Nook Tablet. It's gotten me back into wanting to find my way around hacking android. Now if there was an app compatible with FaceTime, and a game I play was ported over, I'd switch back to android when my next upgrade came around.

I also have a lot of audiobooks in m4b format that I don't want to reconvert, not sure if there is an Android player that will play them. That would be an important factor in switching to android.
[Android General] celperf:
I'm glad you can do that on that small screen, also can you send me a file by Bluetooth ?
[Android General] Stupidusername7:
I choose Android not only because of customization, but because Apple is so ANTI-customization. They shove their consumers in a box and expect them to stay there. If anything's changed, they face bricking/fines/etc. Apple doesn't condone freedom. Apple screws innovators. Therefore, I say screw Apple.
[Android General] GazaIan:

Android has wireless sync...its not just a iPhone feature as the iPhone 4 and 4S are both minor fails. Atennagate and iOS 5 battery problems.

are there much tangible benefits, ie better performance?

If you have a sdcard > = class 4 and you want to use over 60 apps, you must use an odexed rom. But only stock roms are odexed, every custom rom is deodexed(better for theming, not so good for needed space for apps and stability).

20 best mobile phones in the world today - SGA among this list.

PROUD TO BE SGA OWNER.

19. Samsung Galaxy Ace

We were mixed over our love of the Samsung Galaxy Ace when it first emerged, but it's shown itself to be a real winner when it comes to choosing a budget option of the Samsung Galaxy S2.

Even down to its similar stylings, the Ace is a smartly packaged device that doesn't even come close to the performance of the S2 (the low res LCD screen is a shadow of the bigger brother's Super AMOLED Plus) but it does it all on a much lower tariff, and still packs in many of the the same applications as more expensive phones.

Quick verdict

It won't do Flash and it can't compete on the media front with the Samsung Galaxy S2, but overall the Galaxy Ace is the smartphone you should be looking at if you want to save money yet still have the latest Android experience.

I found the 2.3.3 update on HTCDev. Is that one really safe to use if you are rooted with Amon Ra Recovery? Just run the RUU, ( From this page http://htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads with name: HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade 161.0 MB )

Is that one safe to use? And is it stable? ( Stable enough to sell it? Others won't see it? Only the Android version 2.3... ) And most important is it safe?

Or still what RUU to revert back to stock? Please...

I prefer the safest way, and I prefer to go to 2.2 again.
