[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creeve4:
I'm beginning the conversion of several themes from Gingerbread to Froyo and am looking for a specific Windows based application.

I need an application that will compare the image files in two different folders to each other. I need to have image previews shown.

Does anyone know of such a program?

I've found several file/folder comparison programs, but none display image previews
[HD2 General] LedZolo:
So I definitely bricked my phone. Has to be. I try to use Task29 to start from scratch, but when "htc" pops up and has the bar of percentage, it just stays on 0%. No matter what I do. I do have Maglar (i think thats it) but when I boot up into Maglar it says

PB81120 HX-B3

SPL-2.08.0000 8G XE

MICROP(LED) 0x05

MICROP(TOUCH) 0x40

HELP. :(
[HD2 General] tecle2595:
See if you can get into bootloader mode, (by holding volume and down when device is turned off.) If you get into the tri colour screen its not bricked. Install hspl, task 29, than magdlr and u should be good to go. Good luck
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stepinmyworld:
The Galaxy s 2 Epic 4g touch sprint OTA update to Gingerbread EK02 tweaked the battery and kernel like no other. wow.. I advise people revert to stock via odin and just get the OTA.. it updates when it reboots and then says there's an error with the yellow triangle but simply reboot your phone again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick4mitch:
Errr ... old news? ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
ive been getting 10 hours max on this new EK02...i used to get 18 on EG31
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nannuq:
Why is your baseband version eg31 I thought there ota changed this to eko2. From what it looks like you're on the eg31 modem with a eko2 kernal and ROM and somehow did this ota
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
Definitely miles better, 15 hours normal use, couple hours screen on and im at 50% still

PS. flash the eg30 modem then the ek02 delta as well
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Screenies definitely show EG31 modem being used. My current favorite until I update to a 2.3.6 ROM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
How are you guys getting good battery? im getting an hour a percent. idleing and normal wake times in my battery usage as it was on EG31. -_-
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SocialReject:
Lol exactly.

Sent from the future.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
what do you mean lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmejiaa:
Man, my phone around 1pm is usually at aboit 30%.. I wake up at 8am..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
have you tried waking up later in the day?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
That's a tested fix for the issue...lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aleph23:
I get one percent per minute or two if I'm actually using the phone. :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] n01un0:
That's funny!

Thanks, I needed that! LOL

Sent from my SGSIIE4GTuvwxyz....should I touch my nose or walk a straight line now?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmejiaa:
lol, I don't think my job would like that solution. I've timed it to the minute, if I wake up later I'm late.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Live2Follow:
Me too... probably shoddy batteries
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] InfiniteStylez:
I'm starting to not want this update. Seems like very mixed reviews.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Facepalm...

You used the wrong tar, when you updated, the update failed (hence the yellow explanation point). No worries, head over to the dev section and Odin the modem only in phone. Odin the EG30 modem then flash the ek02 modem in RECOVERY. Or since eg31 is working for you, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
I bought a spare battery from Amazon for like $15. Fits in my wallet. On a related note, it may be a placebo, but rebooting after unplugging seems to prevent the Android OS bug.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gedster314:
I've noticed worse battery life too. LOS was not much of an issue for me and with vipers Los checker I never noticed a LOS. Im going to play with ek02 for the rest of the next week but if I don't get any better results I plan on rolling back to E30.:(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
I'm another fan of EG31. Especially the modem. I've been meaning to flash it back, but, I figured give EK02 a few days to settle in or whatever...

...I don't feel that way anymore.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stepinmyworld:
lol yeah, i dont wanna fix it.. it's working well for me. Fantastic battery!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
Idk what the problem is for you guys, best battery on any Android phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stepinmyworld:
what's your baseband verison? I have EG31
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I am curious if the people who have worse battery are on a EK 2.3.6 ROM or still a 2.3.4 build. I just got on an all EK setup and it feels better than when I had EK kernel and modem on EG30 ROM but I just got on this setup so I can comment more about it after running it for a while
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caaznkid:
You only have 1 hour 20 minutes display time
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
Ok lol, but still 20 hours+ and pretty decent usage.

Im on valks ek0t ROM, ek02 modem and stock kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
yeah get off wifi and go a day on just 3G
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
Lol

E4GT'n & lovin' it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
I get similar results with EK02

E4GT'n & lovin' it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
My 3g is useless anyway in Toledo. In Cleveland I used Wimax and 3g on eg31 all day. Granted its different than ek02. In my experience I havent found wifi/3g battery drain to be much different
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Megatr0n.:
So, I got my replacement E4GT only 4 days ago. I still haven't received the OTA update notification. I just flashed a custom rom and kernel yesterday. Is the custom kernel/ROM causing me to not receive the update or is more likely because the phone was only activated a few days ago?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
It's probably a bit of both. You can always force an update check in Settings>About Phone>System Updates.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Megatr0n.:
I did that the first 3 days I was completely stock and it never once gave me the option to upgrade (tried updating firmware, profile, prl, and android.)

Oh well, I'm already using the ek02 stock rogue kernel and Calkulin's 2.0 ROM is android 2.3.6, so the only thing I'm missing out on is the EK02 modem. I suppose I'll wait a few more days.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
The modem is here for you to flash. If you are on EG30, you don't even have to wipe before flashing. It takes 2 minutes and you will be all up to date
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Thank Me Later:
I just flashed the EK02 modem last night but I'm still running 2.3.4 gingerbread...I haven't been on it long enough to really judge it fully but so far...I get less LOS, that's for sure. Right now my phone is at 49% unplugged for 12 hours, 55 minutes, and 27 seconds. It was 100% when I took it off the charger and I haven't been plugged in since. I would post a screen shot but I can't right now since I'm a new user it won't let me post links yet. And I use my phone medium - heavy everyday. So it's not like I get great battery life just because my phone is just chillin. Today I have been texting a lot, a few calls here and there and internet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Megatr0n.:
The only reason I'm wary of flashing the modem is because you can't go back to EG30 if something goes wrong. At least, that's what I gathered from reading the modem threads. Which is also why I held off on trying out EG31 and the one after that, because I had no issues (outside of crappy network speeds) with the stock modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
You can go back to EG30 now. There is a full stock EG30 modem to flash in Odin so feel free to flash away. I was one of the people who was "stuck" on EG31. I flashed the EG30 modem in Odin then EK02 In recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TurboFool:
This whole thread is facepalm, as are most threads on these topics. People don't comprehend basic scientific methods, confirmation bias, post hoc ergo propter hoc...

Guys, unless you take two phones, start them from scratch using the two different ROMs and then install all the exact same apps on them, in the same order, same account details, and use them exactly the same way in the same places for the same amounts of time, you're just taking random stabs in the dark at battery life. On one phone with one ROM my battery can vary wildly from day to day, getting 12 hours out of a battery one day and 4 another based on all kinds of outside factors. So comparing your phone with its new, fresh ROM, that you apparently wiped to get, therefore wiping out every power-hogging, misfiring app you had installed, to your memories (which are faulty, as all human memories are) of what your phone used to be like is going to tell you nothing you can confirm. For one person they'll swear the battery life was worse, the next will swear it was better, and they could both be right or wrong and nobody would know.

Your methods and logic are highly flawed on this stuff, and it comes up with every phone and ROM ever. It's the same stuff we go through when we get all excited about a new ROM being so much faster, with no reference to the fact that we just came from a muddied ROM with 150 apps installed on it and a few months of gunk and if we had done a factory reset the ROM we were already on would seem just as fast as the new one.

Unless you take two phones with two different ROMs and treat them identically, you're just blowing smoke.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Yeah but sometimes you can get a contact high from second hand smoke and everything is rosy for a while.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Megatr0n.:
Thanks for letting me know. I went ahead and flashed the ek02. Initial speed test is incredibly promising. I got 1.5 Mbit/s dl just now, which is the highest I've seen. I typically average in the 300-500 kbit/s download range.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
True but even two of the same model phones will not behave the same even if setup the same. Its just like how not every phone can handle the same overclock or undervolt even if set up exactly the same. Comparing 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 with any degree of accuracy is almost impossible. TurboFool is right. The closest you can get is to start fresh on two of the same model phones, flash the ROM, install the apps in the same order, open them at the same time, use them for the exact same amount of time,etc. There is no way to accurately measure these things
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AwfulFaded:
Is the battery-in-your-wallet-thing a new meme I don't know about or do you seriously have a battery in your wallet?

I saw somebody else post the same thing in a different thread and thought it was crap. I mean this phone is thin and the battery is thin (for a battery) but it's still pretty thick to be wallet material.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] expertzero1:
found out that the OTA is pushed by google servers. Your phone checks the servers 1 time or a week or some **** according to sprint forums.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gator352:
I had this update pushed to my phone twice now. Both times it said:

"firmware update failed to download and install. Reason: no service: codeXXXXXX. Please try again later."

What's funny is that I live 3 blocks from a sprint tower and have great service so this shouldn't be an issue. Also, I am all stock so that should be an issue either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nyckrs:
How do i get this update? I checked update firmware and system for couple of days. Nothing!.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeremiah.rs:
same here man, this blows.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Foulwx:
I'm new to Android, but I just downloaded the eg30 to ek02 zip file, and copied it to my external SD card, and booted, with volume up and power switch. I pointed it to the file and watched it upgrade. I got tired of waiting. Scary but simple.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Will of fire:
I got 4hrs today I used the phone for about 30minutes only. I'm going back to eg31 I had about 12-16 he's moderate to heavy side
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
I let it setttle in. I'm getting the normal 1 hour for every 5% now :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jermzz:
Ubad. I have the same charge time but 4:37 minutes display time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TurboFool:
Point being your results are all different as are your experiences. I took my phone off the charger at 10:45 PST this morning, and now it's 21:11 PST and I'm at 51%. Handled a few phone calls, tons of text messaging, updated apps, bought a few apps on sale on the market. But I'm also on WiFi. So you could easily argue I'm getting awesome battery life, but as my day's not comparable to yours, or yesterday, or tomorrow, that information is meaningless.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jermzz:
My wifi / non wifi results are almost identical.

Also, total charge time is irrelevant.

Display on time is relevant. If you fully charged your phone but never turned the screen on, it would go for days, but when your screen is on, the phone is awake and you're using power. There's no way to cheat power saving with the screen on. The most accurate way to measure how good your battery life is to see how much display on time you get in relation to total charge time. I can get 48 hours out of a charge with 1 hour display time, but with 4 hours display time, I can't get over 20ish. Get it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Those seem to be the consistent numbers...20-24 hours with 4-5 hours of screen on time. If I see someone post pics with 5+ hours of screen on time and 30+ hours off charger, I will definitely want to know their setup
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jermzz:
Don't tempt me............

I'll go back to starburst 1.7 with lost original kernel and pull out alllll the tricks. With that setup I had almost 5 hours with 25 off charger. hmmmm
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Great answer from sfhub as always
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Lol...padding the numbers with Wifi. This is idle (no use) but 2 email accounts sync and network location on. This phone uses so little battery on Wifi when idle.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beezar:
In addition to screen time, I think a LOT has to do with how good your signal is. When I'm in a decent signal area all day, I can go 2 hours screen time and go 2 days. But if I'm in a crappy signal area with constant switching on and off of roaming, I'd be lucky to get 24 hours worth with 2 hours screen time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ericlikeseatin:
I saw the OTA update notification this morning on my phone. I'm currently running the Blazer ROM on the EG30 modem. Am I right in saying that if I install the Sprint update, I will possibly render it unusable?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deltax20a:
That's roughly what I got on stock, I have wifi at home and work, mostly data use, a call or two, and I typically don't go below 70% for moderate use and 50% with heavier use by the end of the day. (8a-10p)

Grabbing the OTA this morning, we'll see how that rocks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
I just got my et4g yesterday (traded a iPhone 4s) brand spanking new. I let it do the ota then did the auto root/cwm/no ciq when I got home last night. Should I be good to go?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteZero:
I don't really feel like un-rooting just for this update right now. Going to wait for CM7.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trifthen:
Who says you have to unroot? There are a few ROMs right now that are using the new EK02 firmware. Flash the newer modem and upgrade to one of them and ignore the OTA. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Craig7220:
Exactly... I'm up to date with EK02 stuff and didn't take the update thanks to a great bunch of Devs..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Foulwx:
The OTA update will fail. It has to see a stock ROM because the update just modifies the original ROM. If it can't find it, it will give up and fail.

Keep reading the forums and you will find out how you can go back to stock, or other ways to load the update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjkingphd:
My battery looks like this

Calibrating my battery after the update. Was on wifi yesterday, 3G today. 5 hours screen on. Not too much phone calls but used it for internet, kindle, messaging. For what it's worth.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
How did you trade phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] noobie100:
OK, I have a question. I got my SGSIIE4GT (yeah, that's the complete name!) and got the OTA. Now my baseband version says "s D710.10 S.EK02" whereas all the info I have seen on the OTA shows that the version is S D710.0.5S.EK02. Am I missing something here or did I not get the correct OTA?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
The Sprint page is wrong. You have the correct version #.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beezar:
Ok, my battery has really been quite bad after switching from rooted stock 2.3.4 with EG30 kernel/modem to 2.3.6 with EK02 modem/kernel. As in half the battery I used to get. I calibrated the battery after switching too. I figured I'd give it another week...

But, noob question: does a nandroid recovery restore EVERYTHING? ROM, modem, kernel?

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
ROM and kernel, not modem. I have seen the same decrease in battery as you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] noobie100:
Thanks for the info!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Eric1985:
Hey guys im complete stock. I have rooted my evo, evo 3d, hero, every phone I have ever had but this one I use go launcher so its just fine for me and not rooting it. But I finally got the update this morning but havent installed it after I seen alot of complaints about the battery. I can usually get a day and a half out of my phone and I work at home so Im always on wifi so that saves some battery. I have never had LOS once or rebooting or nothing and got mine on launch. Is this 2.3.6 gonna kill my battery like everybodys since everyone is pretty much rooted here lol but even though Im all stock?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
I have not experienced that and honestly the only way to test is too try it out. Asking will only generate positive and negative reviews...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mrkevo3000:
Im rooted but I am still on stock 2.3.4, never had LOS, not once, my wife phone wasn't rooted but she was on stock 2.3.4 also and accepted the update now she complains her battery drains faster, eventually I will flash a custom rom but I'm getting around 6 1/2 - 7 hrs of heavy usage. Im holding off until another month, because I'm not having any issues with my phone whatsoever...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] longhorn65:
my battery usage has been slightly worse on ek02 also
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beezar:
Even with a full wipe, and manual restore (not using titanium, but re-downloading apps from the market), my battery life had been poor with stock rooted EK02 / 2.3.6. Already have given up on it. Switched to Unnamed ROM on EL13 yesterday after a week of poor battery on EK02. Hopefully will be better
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mobrob:
I have been getting six hours on a full battery with the ota update. was rooted with zedomax and then flashed the stock kernel back do to the ghost loss of signal. then it ota updated and now i get horrible netbook like battery life. Please help
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mobrob:
Hard reset fixed it according to ZDbox
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sycobob:
20% @ 1d 19 hrs w/2 hrs of screen on time on Calkulin's EL13 ROM & EL13 Modem & re-calibrated battery. That's about the best I've gotten on all ROMs so far (though EG30 w/noCIQ was pretty close). Normally I use it much more but it's been a busy couple of days. I'll see how it does with heavy usage soon.

Just FYI for people looking for good battery life.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
Since the CM7 development thread seemed too crowded to catch attention of anyone else, I made a thread about it here.

If your on the CDMA FXP043a and above, and would like the have full Camera/Torch support with Video Recording and full speed playback.

HOW TO:

1. Download the update.zip from the Mediafire link below, and push it to your sdcard (ex: /sdcard/update.zip)

2. Plug your phone into your computer via USB, and open a command terminal.

3. Type the command "adb reboot recovery", and wait for your phone to restart and boot into recovery.

4. Scroll down to the option "Apply Update from SD Card" and navigate to the location of the update.zip you downloaded earlier.

5. After the update is applied, select the option "Reboot the Phone" (first option) and wait for your phone to reboot.

If you followed it correct, you should now have working Camera and Torchlight!

Enjoiy :D

[Xperia Play Android Development] crono141:
I've been looking around this morning trying to figure out why SMS messages over 160 characters fail to send, and I can't figure it out. I'm fairly certain it has nothing to do with the APN settings though, as APN on verizon seems to deal only with MMS messages. The only workaround for long texts I can think of is using Handcent SMS and telling it to split messages over 160 characters. This shouldn't be necessary, but I can't figure out what is wrong.
