Does anyone think it is possible to block the bn.com domain (on your home router, or by some other means), and prevent an update that way? Are we able to get a list of IP's that BN uses for the updates? Probably too simple, but maybe it will stir one of the geniuses on this forum to think of some similar or better way to accomplish this (for all of us low-tech non-rooted folks)! :D
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] KnowNothing:
I am one of the most computer illiterate people I know, and I was still able to root. While it wasn't as easy for me as for others on this board, if I can do it so can you ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] koopakid08:
It would take more work to block it that way than to just root.

So my aunt offered me a mytouch 4g for a vibrant. Should I do it? And if not what phone should I try to trade for. I love my vibrant but I kinda want a new phone. I switch phones like once every 3 months :D
[Vibrant General] dE.fUsEd:
Screw that phone. I wouldn't do it.
[Vibrant General] Deleted member 3572053:
If she's willing to propose that trade, that proves she doesn't love you. Lol
[Vibrant General] jamesd86:
Mt4g=180 on craigslist

Vibrant=150(that's being generous)

So if you really switch every three months, the mt4g is worth more to you. Also they're not as bad as people make them out to be.
[Vibrant General] Exel:
My sister has a MT4G running CM7, they're nice.. I love my Vibrant, though.
[Vibrant General] sneakysnake16:
Lmfao that made me laugh and to everyone else yea I love my vibrant I think ill keep It Im also thinking of sony vaios for verizon as soon as im 18, since ill need a contract my dad wont do it plus im 18 in 3 days so... Is that worth it?
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
I'm thinking about doing the same thing sense is just so beautiful and it might have a chance if getting cm9.
[Vibrant General] mike21pr:
I had a myTouch 4G before and its a great phone

myTouch 4G has more development plus you have the CHOICE of running Sense which is a really good UI on a well built ROM. That being said, you should read a bit about the good screen / bad screen issue on the myTouch as well as the good EMMC chip / bad chip as well to make sure you get a good model.

What i see Vibrant over it is the super AMOLED, better GPU, and ICS Passion ROM, and myTouch has 4G, camera flash, FFC, and better build quality.

Both phones are good, just determining what trade offs are best for you. good luck

sEnT fRoM mY ExYnOs PoWeReD MoNsTeR
[Vibrant General] sneakysnake16:
Wow thanks for the insight mike helps alot im gonna research and see what im gonna do.
[Vibrant General] KnowledgeBroker:
IMHO, if you are going to trade, make sure you are getting something that really will be different. Does it have features you want, what are the differences? Is it an upgrade, or is it just a different phone?

For me I have waited a LONG time since the vibrant came out before I really found a phone worth upgrading to. I want the HTC amaze 4g. Many more features, dual core, ffc, better camera, dedicated camera/video buttons, NFC.. the list goes on. For me it is a phone that will take better advantage of ICS, and should get an official ICS update. The downside is that there isn't a whole lot of development.. yet. But it is a new phone, so that will come in time(and I even hope to make some development offerings once I get one)

So what are you looking for in a new phone, because unless the mytouch 4g has some feature you want that the vibrant doesn't have, you are trading a very solid phone for.. just another phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] niklas123123niklas:
What I loved at HTC Sense was that webkit was hardware accelerated. On cm gerrit there was a patch (not merged) which enables hardware accelerated webkit on desire hd. So i compiled Cyanogenmod with this patch by myself.

I've forgot to set debug.sf.hw=1 in build.prop before signing:

after installing this rom please make the following steps:

Download ES File Explorer from the Android Market

Go to settings and scroll down and enable Root-Explorer and mount / and / system with write permission (don't know exactly how this option is called in english versions of ES File Explorer)

then go out of settings and touch the star in the left upper edge and select phone

open folder system and then open the file build.prop ES edit note

and then write at end in a new line "debug.sf.hw=1" (without the quotes) and the menu and safe

then reboot twice

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] niv3d:
So I went to a Sprint store today and did some speed tests next to a Photon. I could not believe how much better speeds the Photon got compared to my ET4G! What the heck?!

Photon

4G is NOT on! Double checked that. Pretty sure if it was the 3G icon wouldn't be there...

View attachment 831180

ET4G

View attachment 831190

This is making me second guess. Any comments?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmejiaa:
Looks like you're in 3g and the photon is on 4G.

I get similar 3g speeds to your epic test but higher 4G than that photon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
Thought we knew this :p

Samsungs radios are the worst ...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Yeah umm the Photon is on 4g considering the 4G icon is turned on and looks to be actually working. Might want to go back and turn on your 4g and then do a speed test? But yeah it's a known factor that the Samsung Radios suck for CDMA......
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] niv3d:
Well it wasn't in 4G, this area doesn't have it and I checked the 4G notification it said disconnected...

@Saint, yea I heard a little about samsungs bad radios but never thought anything of it. Well I decided to check it out. Wow the difference is crazy! Makes me want a Photon for the better signal alone!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigRitz:
the Photon is by far the best signal phone we carry but also the nost plane jane if you want a boring yet really good phone you might be happy but as far as dev support the TOUCH IS SUPREME !!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
I will admit the Photons radio is FAR superior but this phone IMO beats it in every other aspect ... except battery life also ... Photon has WAY better battery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
It's not that the radio is awful per-se. The antenna design is about average while the Photon is above average.

With a decent signal (and assuming the tower is one of the upgraded ones) I get 2Mbps downloads, so the radio is "capable" of much higher speeds but if the antenna is not able to pull in a stronger signal, that can affect your speeds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] niv3d:
Hmm ok. Interesting comments. Well this is a little upsetting lol. I LOVE this phone, I just wish my signal speeds were better! Sfhub?! 2mps down?? That's insane on Sprint from my experience!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Yeah, unfortunately in the area I'm mostly at, the backhaul is not upgraded yet. My ping times are still very good (for wireless) at 77ms, but I'm at 250-400kbps on weekdays and a more usable 400-750 on weekends. The areas I travel to are the ones that got upgraded.

In general when testing e4gt against a LG Optimus S, if the signal is 0-2 bars on the e4gt, the Optimus will have faster speeds. If I move to a location where the e4gt displays 3-4 bars, then the speed is about the same. The Optimus usually has about 5dbm better signal than e4gt.

It isn't a horrible situation antenna design, but there is room for improvement.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bushacro:
on sprint 3g in midland texas im pulling 1500-2100kbs down... hardly ever turn 4g on cause its only giving me 3500kbs down
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mkuehn10:
I've never had an issue with Sprint 3G.

I'm in West Virginia where I wouldn't expect to get great network coverage, and I get between 1500-1800 DL and 500-700 UL speeds whenever I check.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IAmSixNine:

The only issues i have are over crowding or over laoding of the system.

Is it like how. any u can do in one day?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scamiran:
At O'hare airport in Chicago, and in the Sacramento, CA area, I get download speeds above 10 Mbps on 4G. There's nothing wrong with speeds on the Epic; the antenna is just not as good as the Photon's antenna.

That being said, few phones have antennas as good as the Photon; that's just a very strong area for the Photon. I have not had significant problems with calls dropping in my area on the Epic Touch 4G; I did with my EVO 4G, and many feature phones before that.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shidell:
A lot of ROMs are starting to show up for ICS, but curiously, many of them say something like "Hardware Accelerated, but not completely." I'm rather confused by this.

What's happening? For example, I ran a test ROM for the EVO 4G that was really slick (and I could've been convinced was HW accelerated), although the dev indicated that it is not truly 2d hardware accelerated.

Additionally, I've learnt that unless a ROM shows a gradient in menus (for example, see here: http://cloud.addictivetips.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Android-4.0-ICS-11-Data-Usage-Pe1.jpg it isn't truly HW accelerated.)

Can anyone shed some light on the HW acceleration situation and what the story is?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
True hardware acceleration was introduced by default in Android 4.0 - Ice Cream Sandwich. It may be stated that the rom does not have true hardware acceleration or it's not working 100% yet since it is just being implemented and does not completely work yet. You may soon see ICS roms which say that hardware acceleration is now working properly, etc. It's not that the roms are not using it, it's just that the feature is not completely stable on the rom.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GazaIan:
A lot of devices have half asses hardware acceleration with 16 bit looking colors and messed up screens where a webkit scrolling mechanism is used. others have false acceleration (unable to dequeue native buffer errors everywhere) which is like a usable hw acceleration. Others might just have random glitches.

I bought this phone off ebay. I didn't know when I bought it, but it was already rooted. The seller put the stock rom back on the phone. Everything works great but I am stuck in cdma-1xrtt. Have called Alltel and they updated the prl and we reprogrammed the phone. Still could not get the 3G to work. Installed Oxygen rom to see if it would help but there has been no change. I did notice yesterday while running on wifi that the network said cdma evdo. When I turned off wifi, it reverted back to 1xrtt. I havent been able to duplicate this though. Is there anything I can do to get this running. I love the phone but it is about useless without 3g.
