I've just recently purchased this phone as well.

I reckon because its still very new, custom roms for it have yet to to be designed yet.

:) Am waiting patiently for it. It will come, in time

Also bought Huawei Honor U8860 to replace my HTC Wildfire S.

Have to say that i'm impressed how good this is for the cheap price. My choice was between this and HTC Desire S. (I like the shape of WFS/Desire S)

Tested the U8860 a friend bought and after that the choice was easy! :D

There is a unofficial miui version for the u8860 here:

http://www.deepin.org/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2122645

I am currently using it, and its quite nice, however there are some things that stay chinese even if you change the language to english..

Also I had the issue that the SMS application crashed every time on boot and on opening the app or recieving an SMS. After installing and removing an alternative SMS app however it seems to work now.

Ok. I'm a salesman at a car dealership and I'd like an app to log my customers.

This is simple enough, but what I need to find is an app that I can take a number down in my phone along with a name, and a short bit of text. And then send it to my tfp.

Any ideas?

Why not just use Docs and create a excel sheet with the fields you want?

HAHAHA... I was thinking why not just use Excel, too, when I saw the thread preview in the forum list. :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] quickinslc:
Why not save the contacts on your phone to a gmail account that could access from your tfp? All of my phone contacts appear on both.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ravizzle:
or evernote. syncs with phone tab and pc
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lyon21:
It seems like it would be a pain in the ass to use excel. Maybe not though. I'll have to try it as well. I am a car salesman as well. I'd like an app to track previous months and currents month statistics. I know iOS had one but I cannot find one for Android. Anyone know of one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] quickinslc:
Try searching the Market for 'crm' there are decent sales tracking apps that might work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spartan301:
Excel sounds like a pain, the gmail idea could work it just gets hard to keep track of ( I did it on my phone for awhile), but evernote sounds like a good one, i'll try it out.

Excel would work for the statistics I would imagine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Buff McBigstuff:
When you add customers make sure you add them to a separate group so that they don't show up alongside your "normal" contacts.

I don't see any controls for the accelerometer. Any one know how to access this?
[Sony Tablet S] agc93:
What are you trying to do with it? The accelerometer can be accessed by any apps that use its functionality. There aren't many built-in uses for the accelerometer, other than rotating the screen?

What kind of controls are you looking for?

Just curious more than anything. All of my previous Android devices have had an "Accelerometer" setting when you could adjust its sensitivity for various games.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ran1mal:
I've had the hero for 2.5 years and its really showing its age (CM 6.1 and fast as far as heroes go but still). I'm thinking I should use my upgrade and get the ET4G in the interim while LTE deploys this year and then sell it around Christmas and get the next Nexus or SGS sequel (HD Screen is the big draw) around that time.

What I need to know is:

Is there a better device release date on Sprint that I can look forward to in the next month or two? (gNexus in May/June too far away)

Have there been any revisions to the ET4G hardware/Firmware since release that will affect rooting ? (very important)

Since Lightsquared's LTE network is currently FUBAR, does Sprint still have an alternate LTE development path (Clear)? There's WiMax where I work in Sacramento for the mid term but I don't want to go 2 years without LTE...

If anyone can comment on Sprint vs Tmo in Auburn/Roseville/Sacramento CA please do. ATT is out of the question and VZ still too pricey (trying to keep it mostly unlimited under $90.00)

Thanks!

Some back-story if you care to keep reading...

I actually upgraded to the ET4G in October and had it for two weeks before returning it even though I really liked the device, Sprint's network speed on it was awful (100k-500k at best where my Hero had been getting 700k-1000k+ and faster in town). The rep demo'd another ET4G side by side and it was my device that was faulty so said he would exchange it but I decided to undo the upgrade and chill.

The decision then was to jump carriers to TMo and get the SGS2 there and some 42mbps Love... but I tested that with a friends phone where I live and no dice, especially with all the buyout/restructuring talk going on (AT&Tmo fails < Dish wants Tmo < now ATT wants Dish which wants Tmo) on top of the mediocre reception (foothills above Sacramento) and complaints of many dead zones all around Sacramento/Roseville. Sprints coverage was fine in my experience.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] misfit0313:
There has been an OTA update to the E4GT since its release, and another is upcoming in the near future.

I didn't play with the original stock rom at all, so I can't comment on D/L speeds, but the first update addressed network issues. The upcoming update is removing CIQ. I can tell you the E4GT loads pages much faster than my old Hero. (My kids phone now).

As for rooting, this device was the easiest that I have ever done. If you can install drivers for your phone and have the ability to read directions, root should be no problem. Subsequent OTA updates shouldn't effect the ability to root if using ODIN.

AFAIK, no other devices are coming down the pipeline sooner than the nexus. The LG Viper is going to be a LTE phone, but no release date has been set.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jyaworski:
I actually upgraded from the hero to the Epic 4g Touch. From personal experience, it's an amazing upgrade. I thought the same thing; should I wait?

Were I in your position, I would wait for the Galaxy Nexus. If that isn't possible, the E4GT is a good upgrade.

As misfit0313 said, there has been an OTA since then. However, this was one of the easiest phones to root with Odin. However, if you're like me and don't have a Windows box to use with Odin, it can be a little bit of a hassle. There's a Linux tool called Heimdall that works wonderfully, though.

There have also been several modem updates to the E4GT. In my opinion, they outperform the stock modem. As far as I know, they don't affect rooting. I got my E4GT 2 months ago or so, and it was rooted in a day.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayo727:
Same here, I made the upgrade from Hero to E4GT and love it. It's going to blow your mind how much better it is than our Hero's were. I wish Jaybob and those other guys would come this way as well. His Kernels were amazing!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rpnunez:
I actually came from a Blackberry Curve, but before that I had an HTC Hero for Sprint. My god, I must've had the factory test dummy, because I had so many problems on that Hero. Dropped calls, soft reboots, wouldn't receive texts, it was horrible. So bad, in fact, I blamed my hate on Android. Left the Hero for a BBCurve.

Now with the E4GT, it is lightyears beyond theHero, Android actually works, and let me not even get started how much better it is than my Bbcurve.

Just sharing my Hero-hatrid story. Hated it!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AzNJJ:
I was in your shoes for the longest time as well. I had a great experience with the hero and still miss it on occasion. If you could, I would wait for hopefully the 720p phones to come to sprint. If you can't hold off and don't want to waste your upgrade option, try getting a NS4G/EVO4G used on like swappa. Those both have ICS builds and are way faster than the hero. This was one of the options I had considered, but went for the E4GT when Amazon had it for $79.99 on sale.

Also, if you've had it for 2.5 years, you might have been grandfathered with the no premium data charge like I was. But as soon as you upgrade or swap devices (even used) you'll be hit with the $10 monthly charge. Just something to keep in mind...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ran1mal:
Thx for the replies. I was ready to to the sprint store today but then I saw the rumored sgs3 may be announced soon. I need to stop looking at my rss and just get the et4g.

So, I forgot to turn on USB debugging, and I stupidly installed a 4.0.3 kernel and forgot that I was on 4.0.2 stock. Now, I have no way of booting back into the OS, and all I have is CWM.

Of course, I was also idiotic enough to not have backed up.

I have tried wiping data, wiping /system, re-unlocking the phone, and re-rooting the phone, but so far, nothing has worked.

What can I do?

Since I haven't turned on USB debugging, I also can't flash the stock ROM/kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masully84:
Try flashing a kernel that is 4.0.2 compatible

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
All you have to do is get to bootloader and flash the proper kernel boot.img.

Again, that's bootloader with fastboot commands, not cwm or adb commands.

Or you can reflash whatever rom you're using, they include kernels.

Hi there, I unlocked and rooted my galaxy Nexus last week and i can not download all my apps again as i keep getting an error saying that it was downloaded on to another device. It seems to be all the apps that i have paid for that are not being recognised by Google wallet.

I contacted the developer of cerberus and he said that he would reset things at his end and this has not fixed the issue for that app.

I have about 10 apps that i am now without and don't know what to do next.

Thanks in advance for any help.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] backreed:
try clearing your market cache on setting->applications menu. If it's continue to do the same (not downloading all your purchased apps) go in the recovery and wipe data (and also cache and dalvik cache). If this continue to happen, try another rom (but wipe data/cache/dalvik cache before flash another rom). If, at last, continue to do the same, just go to your google dashboard (googleing google dashboard) and from there go to android market section-> installed application (of the devices) and just clock on report problem to google...
[Motorola Atrix 2] anbanb8:
Hi guys,

I have a new Atrix 2 unlocked and using it with a non-US operator.

I am constantly getting notification "Background data disabled" in the status bar. When I go to Settings->Battery&Data manager->Data delivery the "Background data" option is greyed out.

If I open Android Market, I get a pop-up telling me I need to enable background data and this takes me to what looks like original Android data settings menu (not Motorola customized) where I can enable the background data (this change is reflected also in still greyed out Data Delivery option in Motorola Battery&Data manager) and now Market runs fine.

However, I still have the Background data disabled notification in the popup.

Does anyone know how to get rid of the notification and how to make it possible to change this settings in Motorola customized settings?

The phone is also rooted (to get rid of AT&T logo in status bar).

And one more - does anyone know how to enable Edge (2G) vs 3G data selection? It's not available in Settings anywhere.

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm thinking of taking the jump into CleanGB 1.05 MTD. Currently I have a rooted EI22 build. I'm going to update to the EI30 modem first but I'm unsure of the steps to get the CleanGB 1.05 build installed because of the change to the MTD filesystem. There is a how to video on the BML 1.03 page but I can't find anything on the MTD 1.05 build. From reading I think there are extra steps I need to take, or maybe the ROM does all the steps already.

Doea anyone have a link to a video, or instructions for loading the CleanGB 1.05 MTD ROM?

Thanks

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coycaine:
As long as you have ClockworkMod you are good to go. Most (I think all) MTD roms auto-convert for you. Then enjoy!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
^^^^exactly... if you have cwm 5.0.2.7 you're good to go... if you're using acs recovery flash cwm first... all the roms do the work fo you...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coycaine:
Hey Noles, do you know what happens if you try to flash an MTD with CWM 3.XXX whatever? Does that also auto update to 5.0.2.7?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
I would think so... but people have reported errors using acs recovery when trying to conver to mtd using that recovery... so 3.x.x.x may give you the same problems... never tried it though so I'm not 100% sure...

Edit- and after flashing an mtd rom and converting to mtd DO NOT flash another recovery... not even 5.0.2.7... the cwm that the mtd rom installs is the only recovery that works on mtd for our phones
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
MTD ROMs have their own MTD only version of CWM 5.0.2.7 that gets flashed with the conversion. Do not try to change it after converting..

It is also best to just update to CWM 5 before trying to convert. Just to be sure.

Sweet, found the perfect thread for my question :D

I'm running cleanGB Mtd 1.05, came from CM7. I have unsuccessfully tried to flash a few things, I have an epic ringtones zip I picked up somewhere along the way that gives you a ton more system ringtones, I also tried to flash some ei22 transparent mms themes....anyway, none worked. did the usual process, wiped cache, dalvik, and nada. Nothing there. At least they didn't cause any harm either.

Not sure why this is....my only guess was they were designed for bml ROMs? Thought i had a good understanding of bml/mtd in which case i didn't think it would really matter which partition I'm on for these flashable zips to work....any takers?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Yeah you did everything but the most important...mount system in CWM before flashing.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mookdawg7:
Pardon my ignorance KennyG, is this a necessary step I have to do manually every time I flash zips in MTD CWM? Something that never had to be done in CWM on BML... Please point me in the right direction if I am outta line here...or I know, I know...I should head right to search regarding MTD CWM and BML CWM...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Yes, and not a problem...I forget half the damn time and wonder why the changes to my theme are not showing up...LOL. You have to mount system anytime you want to flash something in MTD except ROMs and kernels...they seem to mount system for you. Restoring backups do not need system mounting either. MTD is still a new animal to us.

You can back up and restore your MTD ROM freely, even a way of using ROM Manager (ask me). BUT you cannot restore backups of BML ROMs without jumping through all those hoops that you hinted about.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmarako:
I'm going to hijack my own thread to ask this. I do not have enough posts to put this in the developers fourm which is probably a better place.

How do the custom ROM's for the EPIC4g (any phone I guess) come about? The few ROM's I've looked at seem to be one man operations (i.e. toadlife for the CleanGB I use). Clearly the CM effort is a larger team effort. I'm very happy with the CleanGB ROM after a few days of use but I'm looking forward to an ICS based phone. I don't think I'm brave enough to jump onto a release candidate so I'm probably not switching to CM9 RC0 any time soon.

So is the normal path of develpment for the CM team the first release a new ROM (CM7 for gingerbread, CM9 for ICS,..) and then do the other custom ROM developers take this as a starting point to do their thing? Now that CM9 RC0 is out should I expect to see a bunch of custom RC0 ROMs released in the next few weeks?

Thanks for the help. Oh and if you see Toadlife ask him when CleanICS-MTD is coming ;-)

JM
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
No. Custom ROMs are usually made from firmware releases by the carrier and manufacturer ie..EL30 ROMs are based off Gingerbread 2.3.6 EL30 update delivered by Samsung and Sprint. These are what you call Touchwiz ROMs or TW for short.

Now CM7, CM9 and MIUI are AOSP ROMS, Android Open Source Project. They are based off of pure Google releases of the android versions such as 2.3.7 for CM7 and MIUI v3, and Ice Cream Sandwhich Android 4.0.x for CM9 and MIUI v4. It does not take as much to work with existing TW firmware as it does trying to port and entire AOSP ROM which requires working with the drivers for that particular phone model. Thus that is more of a group effort.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjben:
alright. I installed CleanGB mtd. Then I hosed my phone up.

Everything was fine until I selected "reboot recovery" from the power menu. Once in recovery 5.0.... I immediately rebooted the system and got no service with a bunch of FCs from ROM Manager during start-up.

Pretty sure I cannot use the recovery from the power menu. I am up and running again and did NOT install ROM Manager this time. Oh, and what is this business with a way of using ROM Manager?

Can you clarify what happened, and the proper way to do it? I read somehting about the timing being important in the epicMTD stickie.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Ouch...OK once you get on MTD DO NOT USE you BML CWM5. Rom Manager has to be changed immediately. In ROM Manager hit the menu key, then manual flash, then choose Epic-MTD then choose Clockwork 3.x.x.x. Then it will use your special MTD recovery CleanGB installs.
