Has anyone had any side effects from rooting the E4GT?

I have resisted rooting this phone for 2 weeks but now im starting to get the itch. I'm gonna use the auto root method seen here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342728 anyone have any side effects from this method? I have not had a LOS yet so im a little worried that may happen and also from my experience with the evo, rooting that seemed to degrade the camera/camcorder quality and the GPS seemed buggy. Anyone have anything similar happen rooting the E4GT?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AVAH0LIC:
The auto root is extremely easy :) doesn't hurt to root, just be sure to run a backup in case anything happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
My e-**** grew a couple inches and that's about it. All positives from where I'm standing. :D

+1 for auto root. It's the easiest way to do it and if you had no problems before, you won't have any after. I have used sfhub's auto root method 5 or 6 times now, it is completely painless.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beseenwithgreen:
Yeah if a side effect is a better device then sure I have plenty of side effects from rooting :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RubenRybnik:
Never used autoroot, but I got my phone 2 weeks ago, rooted it the day I got it, then flashed some different ROMs on it. After you get over the small learning curve and do your backups when you need to it's a lot of fun to mess around with. Currently I got my phone setup exactly like I want ... Coming from an iPhone I can't believe how much better this phone is ... blows my mind!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
All root does is give you the ability to modify the system partition. Windows, OSX, and Linux have built that ability in pretty much since their conception.

What can give you side effects is what you do with that ability.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
It made my phone a lot better. Root is definitely needed for a better phone experience.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
Head beat me to it.

All rooting does is unweld the hood so you can get inside to tinker and tune.

I see the GS2 has been to 1.8 GHz and it has the same processor as ours. So is it being attempted?
[HTC Amaze 4G] eliasadrian:
Read around, Faux has it up to 1.7
[HTC Amaze 4G] dubt17:
Yes, there is a kernel by faux123 that goes up to 1.7GHz
[HTC Amaze 4G] jjlean:
Development forum.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Bdix:
1.7 is all we can get right now? I was at 1.9 with my htc g2
[HTC Amaze 4G] F033x:
Likewise, but that was a single core chip and for whatever reason it seemed to handle the increase in frequency wih a little more stability.

I can't really imagine what you would need a high frequency like that for on our device though, I watch mkv's with ease on this thing.

Besides it was like 8 months after the g2 the was released that kernels had that capability.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
honestly gingerbread is only optimized for one core. and At 1.5 I don't see any lag or any stutters whatsoever, Thats why I just clock my phone at 1.5 or even 1.4 sometimes...I don't understand why phones need a dual core?? its just a massive battery drainage and sell point. my old single core laptop runs windows 7 very smoothly...you're telling me we need a dual core processor on our phones to run android!!!

Waste of battery imo, if you're into gaming just get a psp, you'll get a wider selection of games, and also a much much better battery life that won't chip into your talktime :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Fahnix:
Gingerbread may be optimized for one core but what about ICS? That's why we have it.. would you have bought the Amaze if it was single core?

And as far as over-clocking, if I'm understanding things correctly. The kernel is OC'd but isn't it only one kernel taking load a majority of the time? So it seems to me that its really like over-clocking a single core.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
ya overclocking a single core basically the second core is off whenever i check it. yes I understand ICS supports multicore and so does honeycomb. But do we really need multiple cores? my point was that It really is not needed, unless you're trying to play a really high def game!!!! playing high def games gives you about 2 or 3 hours max battery life, so you might as well just get a psp!!! you see my point? I overclocked my old N1 cause it was laggy, or getting laggy, and overclocking does not always mean better performance. it strains the processor and sometimes causes even more stutter!
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
I thought the same until i read more about the way android uses the cores. it doesnt always use both cores at the same time like Windows would.. It uses the other core when it needs to, Google just needs more optimizing and such. but i guess thats what ICS is for :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] Arich0908:
I would agree but coming from a single core phone to my amaze. What a huge difference. So I say what ever there doing keep it up.

I love a dual core. Im surfing the web on a quad core amd, and my phone is just as quick as my computer .

Here is my next question. I dont know much on how to over clock a phone . I cant imagine its anything like overclocking my PC .

Where can I read more to find out on how to because I would love to.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
if used correctly dual core can give much better battery life once it is supported fully by ICS. the trick is to have both processors work simultaneously on one task for battery purposes. for multitasking it is probably not a good idea, it will probably require good kernel and governor to figure it out here:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] TannerBlair:
Hey everyone, just thought I would share that I managed to mod my phone to work with a powermat charger. I used the powermat back from a blackberry bold, which is currently on sale for $1.99 right now and soldered it to the micro-b end of an old cable. If there is interest, I'll take it apart and document it, but it's pretty straight-forward. Obviously the nub sticks out, but it's not any worse than some of the stock adapters, and a case would help.

I took a few photos, but this is my first post so xda won't let me share them with you.
[HTC EVO 3D] atistang:
Ok i've had this issue since i got my evo 3d and it has now cost me $30 (long story)

what happens is when anyone calls my phone it will ring about 7-10 times, then it will pause for a few seconds then ring even longer, and then finally my voice mail (google voice) will pick up with the voice mail prompt

has anyone else had this issue? does anyone know anything i can do to fix it?

as for costing me money, a perfect storm so to speak with the cable companies auto pay system and my banks credit card. for some reason it was declined, when the cable company called me they gave up on waiting for a voice mail, so now i got hit with a late fee. :mad:
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
go to http://voice.google.com, log into your acct, open google voice settings. click phone, the find your sprint number, click edit, then click in advanced settings at the bottom. change this setting:

"When someone calls this phone directly and I don't pick up"

from

"Ring my other phones before going to voicemail"

to

"Go directly to voicemail"

Wicked! I hope to see this technology on electronics devices soon--on cameras (DSLRs), on watches, etc...

Someone posted a comment to the original article about the technology being flawed because it wouldn't allow a cable to attack to charge the device.

Does anyone know if this actually be a problem?

Amazing, never have to worry about using your phone in the rain again as well.

I hope this becomes standard.. and soon!

I have been lucky to never kill a phone with water (well there was a nokia dumbphone that went though the washing machine) but still, wow.
[Galaxy S II General] dave2:
True but the rain would interupt with the capacitive screen making it nearly impossible to use in the rain anyway. :P

But this does look promising. Hope it starts rolling out on devices this year!
[Galaxy S II General] mythought:
Hope they come out with something like a spray can so you can apply any device.
[Galaxy S II General] mysterioustko:
I'm pissed they aren't a publicly traded company. I would have definitely invested about a grand or so in them.

Couldn't get any link to work, so I found another site talking about this kind of protecting electronic from the inside:

http://www.christianpost.com/news/galaxy-s2-release-hzo-technology-makes-galaxy-s2-waterproof-video-61905/
[Galaxy S II General] rob_h:
I guess induction charging and BT/WIFI transfers would solve this issue.
[Galaxy S II General] kr1pt:
Ahhahahahahah :DD waterproof is an excellent idea, never have to worry in the rain :D
[Galaxy S II General] nit3hawk:
Sound too good to be true. I wonder how does it cost?
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
To be honest I haven't noticed that, but considering the fear of getting the bloody thing wet im not surprised.

Not dying in the wet it half way towards usable in the wet at least ;)

(and considering when we get rain over here, we really get rain, bloody hell!)

(Also that's a stupidly good movie, gotta love Simon Pegg and Nick Frost)
[Galaxy S II General] Dombledore:
They say in the demo that they won't be selling the technology directly to consumers, but to be used in the manufacturing process so perhaps we'll never know!
[Galaxy S II General] alias_neo:
As for comments regarding. Phone in the rain, I do it regularly, rain splashes on the front won't do any harm, it will, and does, however make the capacitive touch screen impossible to operate so I just wipe it on my jumper or coat or whatever and get one or two more touches before it gets too wet again.

[Galaxy S II General] angry_machine:
OH YEAA biggest thing after man on the moon!
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
Splashing on the front sure, but the phone has lots of open holes, mic/usb/speaker/etc.

Maybe im just over protective :P
[Galaxy S II General] ctomgee:
Check out www.liquipel.com. Same type of deal, but it is an aftermarket treatment. I'm seriously thinking of sending my phone off to have this done.

HzO says they will only do it at the manufacturing level, so you can never get it done on items you already own.
[Galaxy S II General] Xero Xenith:
I think popular consumer electronics (SGS2, iPod, consoles etc) are more resilient than most people realise :) The rain's put all of the above through some pretty indecent punishment and it's always been fine.
[Galaxy S II General] NirVas-:
this awesome, although, if you guys think the manufacturers gonna implement this on they're devices, you're wrong.

one of the main reasons of devices beeing broken its because people let them drop at the toilet, for some reason let him drop on water or let drop watter on them.

So, this mean's that, if you broke up your device with some liquid, than you'll send it to the manufacturers service stations, to repair offcourse, and that means, YOU PAYING to repair the device, that also means, incoming easy money :eek: yes its true, for them to swap a screen or a mainboard is the easyest and cheapest thing do do, but for us, its expensive, and some times, alot expensive.:cool:
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
Shame they dont offer it for the SGS2, and only ship inside the USA :P

More than likely, I must admit i have used it in the wet without problems, and I suppose high humidity would be more risky than just a bit of rain, but still, better safe than sorry.
[Galaxy S II General] Maths:
Shame the process can't be used aftermarket, but the if it was the cost would probably put off most customers ...

Is there a HzO Technology DIY or something Equivalent for Water-proofing Phone?

I'm impressed by the recent HzO technology that was stressed at CES 2012. I don't know if a waterproofed device can withstand high pressures underwater though.

However, arriving to this thread's topic, in case you are not aware, many manufacturers this year will be waterproofing their new tech gizmos before releasing them to the market. Unfortunately, there is no waterproofing DIY kit available, as far as I know. The Waterproofing material is only possible to inject in the internal components during the manufacturing process at the factories. Does anyone know if any such waterproofing material that can be injected exists?

In everyday use, it would be great to have this material in our expensive devices. I'd say this is worth the investment other than same-old screen protectors, Zagg, Cases, Pouches, and Zip-lock bags, lol.

For devices not on the approved device list we are still able to make them splash proof and spill resistant. We will file your request and notify you when the device is available if you are not interested in having it treated before it is added to the approved device list. If you desire to have our coating applied to your device before we have tested and approved said device to meet our high standards, we can do so. Simply select an approved device from the list & complete the checkout and mail in process through our website (Liquipel.com) as usual. Please include a note stating you are aware that your device is not the device you had selected, and that you would like to move forward with the treatment of the unapproved device.
