[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rob4828:
As gho stated there may be an outage or there are working on the towers. As far as battery life i suffered from it. Now battery life seems better once i downloaded juice defender and ram manager
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Itchiee:
My speeds are creeping up... I use to get 3.x on 3G where I live.

Now at work, its a different story... Horrible.

Battery life is great, but the bad signal theory mentioned can be a problem in areas.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Ho-lee-crap does a low signal area suck your battery dry. I did some x-mas shopping (moar like browsing) in North Hampton. I don't really ever go there except around x-mas time to bar hop and pretend to x-mas shop with some friends....and holy crap, the Sprint signal sucked there...and Verizon signal even seemed to suck there. I could barely even roam. Got the "absolutely no signal" circle, feared it was LOS coming back from the ancient past, but as soon as we left the bar I was lucky enough to roam with 0 bars.

I have been getting 24-38 hours (estimated) battery life lately. (Assuming that I would have a similar usage pattern the next day.) I charge at night at roughly 35-50% and take it off the charger at 4am before work. Typically no charging all day.

So I knew I would be out all day so I charged it up at work. Left at 12pm at 100%, min200, max200, conservative governor. Twiddled a little on the ride...got there around 1ish...left around 4ish. Took a few pictures. Didn't do a go damned thing with data, that's for sure. I was at 20% the next I looked.

Like whoa.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slixzen:
I do have an airave, however, I had turned it off as I was wanting to do some experimental testing with our home network. Was wanting to eliminate that as a cause of the problem.

Seems like I have fixed the problem since then, so I will be turning it back on.

But I am concerned by this, because well, while I can live with a phone that lasts a day in a bad signal area, 5 hours for me is beyond ridiculous, even my HTC Hero would last longer in a low/non-signal area. That is my big concern.

What are other people averaging in their speedtest.net apps for this phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lifyre:
Try turning off the proxies and see if that helps you. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1283229) it maybe the proxies in your area are particularly bad.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kindaskimpy:
3G is wildly unreliable for me. Most times I'll get miserable speeds like in the first shot and then sometimes I'll decent speeds like in the second screenshot.

4G is okay although I should note that I had to go to my yard to get signal because despite the fact that I live in a strong "in-building" 4G signal area, I can't get signal inside my place anywhere.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slixzen:
:doh:

I haven't had to mess with the airave in so long, that I forgot what port it has to be plugged into.

I have it setup so that it goes:

Modem > Router > Airave

Does it need to be plugged into WAN, LAN1, LAN2. Obviously it shouldn't be plugged into WAN, but, I am not sure if the WAN port automatically falls over to a LAN Port if recognized as such.

This didn't really help. It actually made my problems much worse at my house.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Thats surprising air wave insanely increases 3G speed. Here are my speeds on 3G
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zorachus:
Sprint is the worst of the big four U.S. carriers as far as network goes. Their 3G speeds are slower than 1990's dial up modems. And WiMax 4G is so spotty and hard to hold it seems more like a gimmick, than actually something meant to be used regularly.

ATT, T-Mobile, and Verizon 3G speeds are easily ten times faster. Sprint's 3G feels like it is stuck on 1x or Edge all the time

Now the Epic 4G Touch is an awesome device itself, I love this phone, best smartphone I ever owned. But Sprint just sucks, not in the same league as Verizon or ATT.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slixzen:
As I mentioned, I didn't have it plugged in as I was doing testing on my network.

However, I need some confirmation as to what LAN/WAN port to plug it into behind a router. As I have forgotten, and regardless of what port I plug it into, the Airave still fails to give me a confirmed status check (by dialing *99).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperG03:
WAN Port. Mine Goes Modem -> Router -> WAN Port on Airave (I have the "Airvana", which is the 2nd generation of this device).

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
Compared to Verisons 1.5Mb/sec - 2.5Mb/sec 3g my .8Mb/sec - 1.2Mb/sec 3g on. Sprint seemed slow to me. But after seing some of you guys that are experiencing .1 - .3Mb/sec i feel lucky to be clearing 1Mb/sec some times. I cant beleive you guys stick around getting 150kps. I would havr bailed a long time ago with those speeds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
bars dont indicate data signal strength. it indicates voice signal strength. you can have no bars and still get 3g, or all bars and no 3g.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lifyre:
Do you remember how slow dialup was? The majority of us beat that quite significantly. Also once I changed my proxies (shame it didn't work here) Sprint is on par with Verizon 3g here
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eagercrow:
Sprint sucks. At my house I'm lucky if I get 100kbps. But if I drive 5 miles I'm next to a good tower and getting 1400kbps during peak hours.

I keep my phone on wifi as much as possible and use verizon towers, this combo with the cost I'm paying is worth it to me.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotwirenissanskyline:
I recently discovered the lower portion of my touchscreen isn't as sensitive whenever I am charging the phone with the original charger and cable.

It is so bad that I am unable to complete the sliding motion to unlock my phone since I am using the white bar for widgetlocker.

Just wondering if anyone has had similar experiences and should I be worried?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoDracoola:
According to the quick start guide, (yep that small paper nobody reads) that could be caused by unstable current when you are charging. But i am not really sure since i don't have that problem..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k1ng617:
I know this may sound weird, but I have heard that some have found using another charger helped similar issues. Maybe try another charger and see if that alleviates the issue.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkyevolved:
I can confirm that it's due to the charger or the wall outlet. I have my SGS2, and I've experienced this multiple times. On my iPhone 4 I also had this issue all the time (I think a lot of people complained about the screen sensitivity while charging), and Apples stance was "change outlets" and that fixed my issues, my friend's issue, and my roommates issue on our iPhones back when. Make sure you're using the correct charger as well, with correct voltages.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotwirenissanskyline:
thanks for all the replies. i've now tried using the various powerpoint outlets in my house and as well as a few iphone plugs but all of it yield the same result, my screen still remains the same.

in fact, this issue seems to have gotten worse after sending the phone in for servicing 2 days ago and samsung service centre claimed they changed the lcd screen and the motherboard.

Hello there,

I got an Milestone 1 from one of my friends and got asked if I could install an new Rom because the Stock Rom is very slow.

The Stone has a 70.12 Bootloader (never seen that before) and whatever i try (UP-´Key + Power method, or X + Power method) I can't acess the recovery menu. I got the screen which tells me:

Bootloader

70.12

Battery OK

OK to Program

Connect USB

DATA Cable"

But no recovery menu.

Can't access the OpenRecovery or any other update.zip.

If I start with X + Power, the I got the ! - and thars all. no menu, no flashing.

RDS lite always gives me an error.

Androin Version is STOCK 2.2

Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] corn266:
I'm just wondering (I'm somewhat of a noob) have you installed ROM Manager and tried to access it that way?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] projektorboy:
The recovery menu you're seeing is the Stock Recovery menu. Go find some Milestone guides that show you how to install an alternate recovery on that Milestone. Once you have an alternate recovery, you can install a new ROM.

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] appaddict:
Hi Guys, ive looked through the forum and have not found anything like this.

First of all I have not flashed the wrong hard-spl or gsm rom or a rom for a different model.

I am using Energy.RHODCDMA.29022.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.DinikGlass.Jul.04, stock Radio (verizon - sim unlocked on the o2 network). A little background info I brought the phone from a US ebay merchant awhile ago it was working fine except the slider rebooting the phone but rarely happens.

Awhile ago some moisture go into the phone, it would turn on but the screen just wouldnot turn on, the htc boot sound will sound but thats it.. so i left it for a few days without the battery in it which fixed the problem.

Okay to the crux of it, yesterday the battery went dead as normal i put it on charge for awhile, turned it on to make a important call whilst on charge but the phone just turned off so did the orange light. Now sometimes it charges for a period then it stops and cycles constantly. Whats worse is that holding the power button doesnot even turn the darn thing on *.* I've tried to batteries (oem and replacement neither charge on my laptop or thru the charger). Tried to load into the bootloader even holding the power key for awhile does not work

As it does not turn on I cant get into the bootloader... to dump the rom any ideas?

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] -SGA-:
Hello Ace users.

Just figured I would post this in case anyone else out there was thinking about the 2.3.6 update for Nordic counties. I just spent the morning Flashing it VIA Odin, because I never made a Factory back-up before flashing CM7 some time ago, and I am quite happy with it.

Okay, here's the procedure on how to manually upgrade the Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 to Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread using the stock ROM S5830XXKPP in 11 simple steps. So you know Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread is not yet available for all Galaxy Ace users, except in Russia. Don’t be scared when the phone boots in Russian, you can change that in the locale and text option under settings.

Here’s what you need:

Download the stock ROM S5830XXKPP, I got mine from SamMobile.com. You have to create a free account and navigate a few confusing pages but it can be found. You’ll find it at the bottom of the ROM list for the Ace; it’s the one for Nordic countries.

Grab the ODIN Multi Downloader v4.38 and OPS File: Cooper_v1.0.ops

To Flash with Odin:

- For Windows PC’s with USB driver / Kies installed.

- A USB cable for your phone

- Make a back-up copy of all important files stored on your phone, you are going to lose everything otherwise

Ready to start?

1. Download the S5830XXKPP ROM and extract it to your desktop. The password is “samfirmware.com”. When extracted you’ll see: “S5830XXKPP_S5830XXKPP_S5830SERKPP_HOME.tar.md5” this is what you need.

2. Extract and run Odin v4.38 on your desktop.

3. On ODIN click the OPS button and select the Cooper_v1.0.ops file on it.

4. Hit the One package checkbox option

5. Select and load the S5830XXKPP_S5830XXKPP_S5830SERKPP_HOME.tar.md5 in the One package field

6. Set the Samsung Galaxy Ace in Download Mode:

Turn the OFF the phone then press Volume Down+Power+ Middle buttons simultaneously and the phone will then reboot into download mode. Press the volume up button to begin download mode.

7. Connect the phone to PC and you’ll see on ODIN a window with “COM Port” turn to yellow. It means connected and ready.

8. Begin the flashing by hitting the 'Start' button.

9. It will take 5 minutes to complete and the word "PASS" will display once it finishes.

10. Unplug the phone from the PC, and go into Recovery Mode by pressing Home + Power Button, then select Wipe Data / Factory Reset. Reboot Phone.

11. Last, change the default Russian language to your Region by going to settings and then locate the locale and text icon, then pick your native language.

I am not responsible if you break your phone, this is for educational purposes only.

Thanks to Droid Angel for help with the TUT.

But the size of the RAM i can use is only 205mb( 190mb is always in use by the system, leaving me with 25mb plus the free virtual RAM 15 ), i can do nothing with this as my device freezes when i launch more than two apps, so i have to remove and put back the battery and reboot. Is there any tweak or trick i can to unleash the remaining space on the RAM without having to upgrade to windows mobile 7,its a tricky process and i am new to this, so i don't want to spend the whole week fixing problems that may occur after the installation, if you have any useful trick or software for me that i can use to fix this

Might be wifi problem is that point. Because i update 0.61/62/63/64 and i changed this line so i got no problem with wifi, reboot...

I am on QuickSense 2.1.2 and Faux123 kernel. Maps is v6.0.3. I'm not sure what you are talking about. When I am in maps, my arrow points in any direction (close to north) depending on how my screen is oriented. But when I go into Navigate, it adjusts to my position and works just fine. I don't have the 180 degree backwards problem as far as I can tell. Are you saying that if you want to go north, your heading is showing that you are going south? Does Navigation tell you to go in the opposite direction??
