[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] egzthunder1:
I sincerely need to thank the OP here. I bought mine this past Thursday for $49.99, which considering that Sprint charges $199 with the 2 yr contract, thought it was a fantastic deal. I got my phone on the mail yesterday night and still have to activate it, but when I saw this thread today, I called Amazon and told them that I wanted to have a price match as I had purchased this thing less than 3 business days ago. Long story short, they agreed and I am getting $49.98 back...

I am one happy camper right now :)

Thanks OP!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] srkmagnus:
Amazon has all of the Sprint WiMax devices for sale at 1-cent a piece, new customers or new lines only. If you ask me, it's because of A) They have an abundance of WiMax devices in stock and they know WiMax is going to be fazed out and don't want a surplus or B) Their Sprint sales have taken a slump. Plus, remember that a deal on a phone for a consumer may lead to increased accessories with with the purchase.

I'm looking for a theme or port for the ics messaging. I really like how the contact pictures are by each individual message, and just the overall look of everything. I've tried 3rd party apps, but I don't like how their notifications work.

Im facing a dilemma: Ultrabook or Tablet. I know that a tablet is highly portable and convenient but I cant think of another reason to buy a tablet over an Ultrabook. Student-wise speaking which one should I buy?
[General Questions and Answers] grandinquisitor1984:
It depends actually. Since you mentioned that you're a student, your probably mean that you want to use it for educational purposes. Ultrabook is still the better choice, but owning a keyboard for your tablet is not that worse. I bought a tablet and keyboard to finish my thesis. Good luck!

P.S. On second thought, it's better to have a tablet for reading purposes so in that sense it's better.

I've just tried all three (I only had Trebuchet installed initially), and I think I still prefer Trebuchet, though Nova does seem pretty snappy! It doesn't seem to have the buttons set up properly at the bottom of the main home screen however you can customise it of course. But yeah, I think I'll be sticking with Trebuchet for its speed and slickness and options! Unless you can convince me otherwise? :)
[General Questions and Answers] psmaniac:
As for me i'll rather use Apex Launcher, it has many customization options and works smooth. However if you prefer simplicity, try trebuchet.
[General Questions and Answers] Archer:
They're all equally good. Try all 3 yourself and make your own mind up. What someone else likes may well not be what you like. Just make sure to give them a couple of days at least. 10 minutes really isn't enough to decide if you like a launcher or not as most of the features are under-the-hood.
[General Questions and Answers] pspunderground:
I personally prefer Apex. Nova has been a bad experience for me with EVERY ROM I've tried it with. I have no idea why...
[General Questions and Answers] got556:
Apex is the best IMHO. I too have had bad luck w/ Nova.

from my understanding it should work fine

but i guess can always revert to stock kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
It does break some stuff (as reported by a few people I've not used it) I think it was like camera and a few other things.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
Yeah, Ill stick with stock or some AOKP color customization. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] badname:

but if there are issues, cant we just flash aokp pulled kernel after flashing theme?

[Windows 8 General] mtmerrick:
Very LONG read, for those who haven't looked at it yet :P

But very well written. Not biased much at all. He brings up some good points, and makes very logical arguments.

I do want to point out one thing tho - almost every average joe PC user used a mouse as the sole input method, unless words need to be written, then you use the keyboard. As the author of the article pointed out, to use W8 with any type of efficiency you need to use either a touchscreen or lots of keyboard shortcuts. all of us tech geeks (and yes, if you're reading this, even if you're a noob that means you know exponentially more about tech than most people) are willing to learn and adapt, but most people don't even know that windows HAS keyboard shortcuts. it took me 20 minutes to understand hot corners 100%. how long do you think it'll take your tech illeratite mother to figure it out? a month? my mother still doesn't grasp how bookmarks in Chrome (which i installed for her so she could have an adblocked web) work, and she's had it for about 6 months.

point stands, yes, for us the learning curve isn't that bad. but for your average user off the street who doesn't know what a browser is (seriously, watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4MwTvtyrUQ ) the learning curve is going to be too high to handle.
[Windows 8 General] bman212121:
It is a well written article. To me the biggest argument is does it even matter for the average person to know all of the ins and outs of the start screen. As long as they can figure out how to click on the big icon labeled Internet, they can probably get to what they need. Once you're in the browser, metro is no longer applicable.
[Windows 8 General] dtboos:
I think the basics are pretty easy to grab with minimal time on the system. So far I haven't had anybody NOT get it when I let them use it. Only a few minor questions at first which is normal for anything new.
[Windows 8 General] sisco2901:
Hmmm....

Well, the problem is that average users are very reluctant in breaking their old habits and often do not even WANT to learn something new. Unless something works roughly the same it used to before, they are not interested and write it off, because the "old one" was "so much better". I'm not saying all the people are like that, but a great deal really is, I used to work at tech support for quite a while and I think the video above is pretty accurate in terms of literacy in this field. People are very quick to write things off for the pettiest of reasons and 'interest' and plain curiosity fade fast.

Thanks dude.but I would appreciate if its the stock navigation apk because it integrates with google maps.

Actually the problem is my Android is a different one that requires data connection for

GPS navigation however my friend uses it for free without internet on his Sammy y.

So just asking from you guys because someone would have made the backup of stock apps right?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] ronnieryan:
the reason why he can use navigation without internet is he didnt clear cache, so data he collected with internet ON remains the same only GPS will show him where he is

anyways stock maps.apk contains navigation, so just push this to ur ROM

or use market unlocker to install this(not sure of name)

here you go buddy:D

and if you are really jealous of ur friends phone, why not duplicate it?

use CWM and make a nandroid backup of his phone and restore it in ur phone:D
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] prohank:
Ya but that doesn't happen in my case.

he has just purchased it so may be only the new users will enjoy this.

However my present ROM Is good and don't want to change it, also I don't have titanium donate version:D to extract the app out of it

So,

My SD card isn't recognized on the phone - saying it's unavailable, and my computer says it needs to be formatted.

I can't install any app, the phone just soft resets. So it's all due to my SD Card.

I can't format it because I have so much stuff on it - from pictures, to files, to everything. Anyone know how to fix it so I can at least get my stuff off it?

This is really not good if I have to format it...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
You have to format it then use a recovery program.

My 2 suggestions, which I went through the same issue and got 95% of my stuff...

1. iCare Data

2. Recuva
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
What do you mean you can't format it? What stops you from doing so?

Can you first, xfer all your personal stuff to other place/space/computer/....., then format it and move those stuff back in when done?

Why can't you do that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
:rolleyes:

The reason why you can't transfer it is because he needs to format it so its properly read.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red5:
If thats the case, then he should copy all existing data to his computer, format, then recopy everything back over...

But he did say in his OP that the computer said it needed to be formatted. So that tells me that his computer can see the card, but cant access it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattgyver:
Use Recuva or testdisk (google is your friend).

testdisk works great for SD cards and USB devices. The issue will be that it will see the file, but not the filename, so it will numerically name them. small price to pay to get your info back from a would-be dead SD card..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
Yea thats why I like iCaredata (find it how you want to) but it keeps folder structure and other things so its easier to track your files. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bigblue95z:
Maybe try mounting the SD in CWM? I used this when the SD contents wouldn't show after a bad flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] paleman27:
Maybe your sd card is defective (can't be ruled out). Have you tried another sd card?

The ROM Manager version is 5.0.0.6, and the CWM Recovery version is 5.5.0.4

I see that the when I boot into Recovery, it is headlined as "CWM-based Recovery", which is probably why ROM Manager doesn't recognize it, but I'd like to know that such is the case. I tried posting this question in that thread, but I guess I'm too new to be allowed to.

[Motorola Droid 4] JKingDev:
So this is my first motorola and I had heard of the issues they have with non motorola chargers. Now I am experiencing it first hand. With the same ac charger I have charged many phones with and is capable of 1 amp output (D4 charger is only rated at 850 mA) my D4 struggles. With the device off it charged painfully slowly. While on it cannot even charge. It discharges while plugged in despite the charging indicator and reporting "charging (AC)" in status.

How does it know it is not a moto charger? Is it just about the resistance between the data pins? For most other phones shorting the data pins on the charger indicates to the phone that it is a high current charger and not a computer USB port. Is there a similar trick for motorola phones? I would rather not have to purchase an overpriced moto oem car charger. I have a perfectly fine 1.2 amp car charger soldered directly into my car's 12v system behind the dash. Can I make it work?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 4] Fuddster:
On a regular basis I successfully charge my D4 using both a charger from a Samsung Reality feature phone and from a B&N Nook Simple Touch, in addition to the one that came with it. I've also used a variety of car chargers.
[Motorola Droid 4] omniuni:
Actually, so far I have only one charger that had any trouble charging the phone (it was a $3 charger with 2 USB ports), but the $3 charger with ONE USB port works fine, as does the Nook Color charger, Blackberry charger, and Samsung charger I have tried it with, as well as both my old car charger and Lenovo's always-on charging port on their laptops.
[Motorola Droid 4] bdbraaten:
Not sure how it knows one way or the other. I've successfully used a few LG chargers to charge my D4. The only really hickup I've ran into is the usb cables from those lg chargers won't sync data to the phones when plugged into a computer, they'll still charge off the usb port but won't read as a usb connection to the computer.
[Motorola Droid 4] punkonjunk:
Heh, captcha is trynply.

Every charger I've used, including an old charger for an EN-V, kindle, supplied, and various other phone chargers works just fine with this phone. Probably have a bad charger, guy.
[Motorola Droid 4] JKingDev:
Thanks for the replies. I guess I was wrong. My modded car charger works just fine. I guess its just time to retire the old charger that I have been using. I think it might be my old nexus one charger.
[Motorola Droid 4] RueTheDayTrebek:
A more important question would be does the thing charge over computer-bound USB ports?

When you're without a charger, but there's a USB cable that fits your phone, sometimes a regular USB data port is the only that is around... even though it might take a really long time.

Try a computer bound USB port, then try your actual charger, again. Or do the hard reset (vol down plus power, hold until it actually does it), which is just like pulling the battery.

See how that goes.

Chris
[Motorola Droid 4] podspi:
It does in fact charge via USB port. In fact, it has a 'charge only' mode. Depending on how much juice your port puts out, and what you are doing with the phone, it will charge slowly/not at all, though.
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
from my experiences, the droid 4 will not accept lg microusb cables, the charging bricks work tho. i use a blackberry microusb on mine along with a Logitech and the stock moto ones. 1.2 amps is a bit high but not crazy sounding. personally, I charge at 1 amp.
