I thought about advertising it that way too, but didn't want to scare anyone away thinking I'm some hacker. 99% of those out there probably don't know what rooting is anyway.

I bought this phone used a couple of months ago to upgrade from my DINC1. I miss the trackpad and size of the DINC1, so I went back to that. I just want to sell the 2 so that it isn't sitting around depreciating.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Amphibliam:
Wow, really? I love the size of the inc2's screen and that makes me not need the trackball. I also could never give up the battery life of the inc2 for the inc1. To each his own. Then I would unroot and sell that way, it sounds like that's the best course of action for you.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bwthor20:
+1 on the battery life!

Hello now I know there are alot of guides and questions about this but I wanted to know about the epic 4g specific parts of rom making. Like getting it on a MTD partation. Anything really about the whole rom building process will be helpful too. I am going to need all the help I can get :)

While I don't know how to build a rom or theme, I do know how to port roms if you want help with that.

For themes/themed roms, you have to decompile framework-res.apk and any apks you want to theme.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ugothakd:
Making it install to mtd has to deal with updater-script. The main parts of a rom are the kernel, init.d scripts, messing with libs, deleting bloatware, and theming it. You could also add custom ringtones and build.prop edits

With the PlayStation Vita only a month away, and possibly more PlayStation Certified devices to be announced at CES next week, I got to thinking about the PlayStation Suite.

The main thing I thought was "when is it gonna actually start rolling out?". So in searching on good ol' Google, I found out that it's entered it's Beta stage. That's something at least, lol.

Just realize that it is neoprene and you will be sweating and getting your E4GT wet...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
190623986549 on ebay

no it won't get the E4GT wet since neoprene is water proof. your ARM will sweat but the sweat "should" stay on the outside of the case.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Radical-J:
No neoprene is NOT waterproof.:rolleyes:They are called 'wetsuits' for a reason. Ask any scuba diver or surfer, body-surfer if neoprene is waterproof... Look I bought two of these and you will definitely find out. I'm also a scuba instructor--so I know a 'little' bit about neoprene...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
Hssssss Ouch Snake bite !!

pulls arm away injects antivenom.

I am "NOT" a diver so I only know what I read and all the "neoprene" crap you see in the stores seem to advertise "waterproof"

my bad :-)

this manufacturer of neoprene stuff seems to think otherwise :-)

http://www.gaco.com/neoprene.html

and this site says its not waterproof

http://forum.notebookreview.com/accessories/137187-waterproofing-help.html

so I guess either one is wrong OR there are different "kinds" of neoprene??

this article seems to have better info but not 100% clear

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_suit

ie now the concept of "wet suit" and "dry suit" makes more sense :-)

so is a wet suit wet because its made of neoprene or because its made of a specific kind of neoprene ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Radical-J:
Not trying to give you a hard time--just don't want people wasting their money is all. They have them at Walmart--check them out and you'll see what I mean. That was where I got my first one because I didn't want to wait for my ebay one.

Neoprene is a stretchy insulating fabric. In a wetsuit, it gets wet and heats the water in your suit by your bodyheat. The suit is always wet and water flows through it slowly but still keeps warmer water next to you so you don't get as cold as quickly as wearing nothing.

Some cases can be waterproofed--but I still wouldn't trust it. I had mine in the summer in Florida heat and it was 90 degrees or so and I was sweating on a 7 mile run and that arm band was totally soaked and I don't know how I didn't kill my Evo...FWIW
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
SO a better option might be a neoprene ARMBAND (you need the "flexy" nature of the neoprene and its soft) going through the belt loop of a LEATHER case for the phone.

not waterproof either but that "will" keep the water from your sweat away from the phone as it would have to penetrate both the neoprene layer and the leather of the case.

Just purchased the TuneBelt AB85 and it's perfect!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GorillaManx3:
I do run from time to time and gym it bout 3days out of the week. What I did was buy silicone case from newegg for about 3bucks. Then cut out 2 parallel strip with a precision razor. Shortened a velcro ankle strap and used that as my tie down. Doesn't look bad, its sleek and works great. I just used what I had and it turned out good. Just a suggestion if you have the material.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JBNAquatics:
In case anyone is wondering, the TPU case FITS the Tune Belt AB84 perfectly. I opted not to get the AB85 cause it's more expensive and it's more loose. The 84 fits it snugly and doesn't wiggle around.

I have decompiled the framework-res.apk from all the different versions of the holiday/vivid/raider and compiled ONE master apns.xml for anyone working on roms/themes/framework mods. This will keep people from having to manually input apns to use their favorite ROM/theme/mods.

these entries are the ones from the STOCK frameworks so I am working on one with all the possible APNs, mainly the ones for AT&T so people can get around the throttle issues.

if you want your carrier's APNs added to this xml, just post them on this thread and I will add what i can.

devs/themers/modders,

feel free to use this .xml when you are compiling your framework-res.apk mods for your work.

/res/xml/apns.xml is the exact path within framework-res.apk ;)

Flashing recovery on linux

Yes, next question

But seriously, the only thing you have to remember when using fastboot on linux is to use "-i 0x413c" (Dell's USB Vendor ID) after fastboot, before the fastboot commmand, e.g.:

fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XV&moreXV:
I'd appreciate any hands on user opinions.

I did fondle a Droid 3 tonight as I've come to the idea that a keyboard is a necessity as often when posting on forums the cursor gets away. Are the post-2.2 android OS above and beyond that making touch only keyboards sufficient? If not, then I likely prefer a keyboard, although it would be nice to be able to do anything I want, without one.

Thanks for any input or sage you can share.

Does anyone know a site that has spec comparisons with current offerings' specs?

I've been making out well with a rooted and over-clocked Droid 1 bullet-proof work horse for some time now and I suppose I'm ready for faster and fresher. The AMOLE displays are nicer, that's for sure. I'd also like a 4g phone.

It sure would be a nice addition if the phone section of this site had the individual phones specs listed under their pictures with as many details as possible.

It does annoy me when I shop for electronics and they just don't show all the specs on all the tags. Some will tell which processor the device has, some will tell ram spec, some won't.

Same with lots of electronics that basically all have the same specs, even energy star numbers, some tv's have it displayed, some don't. Some tell these specs, others that have the same specs available, just aren't mentioned as to their numbers.

[HTC Wildfire S] mstfkaratas:
Now redownload cm7, the cm7 you flashed might be corrupted

connect phone to pc by usb cable

Boot into recovery

From mounts and storage select mount usb

Your pc should see your sd card now

Copy cm7 file to sd

Unmount usb from recovery

Try to flash cm7 again

This should fix the problem :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GinNjoose:
So, an older gentlemen I work with just picked up a Pantech Breakout from VZW - FREE after mail in rebate. He had absolutely no idea how to interact with device so I decided to give him a hand. I was actually pretty impressed with this Android 2.3.3 budget buy but I knew how vastly superior my Galaxy Nexus was compared to his. When I was showing him side by side some of the differences between GB and ICS, I noticed he had 2 bars of 4G and I only had two bars of 3G. I double checked to make sure CDMA/LTE was selected and gave it reboot.....NOTHING.

What a joke. Thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Its just telling you it has a better signal. According to VZW the Nexus just more accurately displays it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pacifik:
Why wouldn't you toggle airplane mode? It's faster than a reboot.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
This is incorrect.

The signal strength displayed in settings for most phones don't show LTE - Nexus does, so you won't be looking at the same thing.

Also @OP, please stop comparing bars, the only thing it represents is that 1 bar is worse than 2 bars to its own kind that is also using the same skin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] guyhoang:
His Nexus is only getting 3G, not 4G!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] epphllps:
Yeah it is absolutely crazy dealing with this signal issue. I am sitting here in the same location that I have 4-5 bars of 3g on my razr and literally have no bars on my nexus. Wtf?! Both set to cdma only. Using 4.0.3 radios.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] snowblind64:
I read that the 4.0.3 baseband had 3G radio issues. You might want to flash the official 4.0.2 baseband to see if your signal improves.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] draugaz:
It is actually not clear at all if the other phone was in 4G.

Like in:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5254/investigating-the-galaxy-nexus-lte-signal-issue

RAZR still shows 4G icon even when sitting in 1x/EVDO.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deekjx:
You beat me to it. :). Basically you must make sure you are comparing apples to apples. You should use the db measurement for signal strength and not bars. You can not currently compare the GNex 4g signal to any other phone because ICS is the on version that can show your 4g signal in db. All previous versions lie.

The issue the OP had with not being able to lock on a 4g signal is a different matter. As the previous poster has stated, the pantech may not have had a 4g signal. Speed test may shed light on this. Personally I have not experienced that yet so maybe an issue with just his phone? If not then perhaps I have not noticed it when it happened to me. I'll try to monitor it more. I sit near the edge of a 4g signal so at home I'm always on wifi. It takes way to much juice to stay locked into 4g at home but it does stay locked. I can kill the battery in about 4 hours near the rear of my house with a mostly idle phone in 4g. I have to monitor it more when I'm not at home.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jay A whY:
Oh yeah Anand Tech is definitely comparing apples to apples.. The Bionic is one of the worst phones in locking in and staying on a 4G signal.. There is a reason why the Bionic and GN was delayed. Crappy radios!

The GN would be the best phone out if it wasn't for its signal issues. I hate to be sound like the glass is half empty but it is a shame one must tweak the radio for a better signal. I'm still hoping that the GN is software correctable . I really like what the phone has to offer in regards to development. Only time will tell, good luck GN users!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PeterDLai:
Where are you reading about the RAZR showing 4G icon while not in 4G? I have a similar issue with my Droid Charge where I will have a 4G icon but no data connectivity at all (not 3G/1X even).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Basically most phones with carrier/manufacturer involved skins will make it linger and display the 4G icon even when its cutting in/out. Mostly because people will freak out if their connection is changing all the time. The handoff between LTE and CDMA is really slow, so they just make it show 4G expecting it to come back to 4G soon when it drops.

The Nexus is showing your actual connection with no sugar coating.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] draugaz:
For example, look here, the second photo in this article:

http://images.anandtech.com/doci/5254/EVDOvsLTE_575px.jpg

Motorola is in EVDO mode, but the icon in the status bar says "4G LTE".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Exactly as stated above. The Nexus is reading the signal properly. People think its bad because OTHER phones are poofing up their bars and displaying a 4G icon when it isn't in 4G mode.

The Nexus is just being honest and giving a true signal measurement. It seems low but in reality, the network strength is just low.

This is exactly why companies spruce up the bar and misinterpret the network indicator.... because people FREAK out. Really, the only test is to do a SpeedTest of the two phones. You'll often find you'll get better speeds then most phones side-by-side. So in this case, who cares if you have 1x or 4G, as long as you get great speeds.

You can fix this easily by replacing all of your network indicators with a 4G icon and altering your bar icons to always read full... basically what Verizon and Apple's been doing.

I do agree that the relationship between -db and active bars should be increased just to please common folk.

Same signal strength. Nexus shows 1/5 bars while Droid shows 4/5 bars 4G LTE @ -108 dBm (ie a bad signal)
