[Windows 8 General] ShadowEO:
I would assume that the Settings app was created without the resolution limitation (or as an exception to it embedded into WinRT). It is food for thought though. I don't mind a downscaled screen really, I've used it since Windows Developer Preview came out and I'm pretty used to it lol.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] UnicornKaz:
I've noticed on the WHITE AT&T VIVID that there's a small rectangle/round edge window on the front near the top speaker to the left of the logo..etc

I don't have that on my black VIVID...

anyone know what that is ?? is it the ambient sensor for the display light ??

so why it's only shown on the white version ??

Thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] formicae:
Yes you do, shine a bright light at the top of the glass, all of the same 'windows' are there.

I think the capsule/rectangle one is the proximity sensor -- an emitter and a receiver to gauge proximity, and the top left dot is the ambient light sensor.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Tim1928:
As we all know the samsung exhibit 2 is at best slow. Because of the lack of usable ram and poor software if you have this phone you know it can make you wanna throw it against a wall.

Here are some steps i took to make mine as fast as it can be. using these i know get 201mb Ram on boot.

1. Root your device. this is how i did it. http://depositfiles.com/files/n0dcxce3t. this is the first step. i use this method because it roots easy and also allows you to unroot just as easy.

2. download Root App Delete. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=zsj.android.uninstall with this i use it to disable the the bloatware apps and system apps that i dont't use. this frees up so much ram, and makes the device run smoother. be careful what you disable or delete some things may be needed to run your device. Here is a link to see apps that are safe to remove http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1421263

3. Custom launcher. here you can use your favorite. I use ADW EX. the reason for this, touchwiz is slow and kinda unresponsive so IMO this is key.

4. install Ram Manager Pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartprojects.RAMOptimization&hl=en this allows you to set the ram specs were you need them for example i use Balance (more free memory)

5. Install Auto Manager. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lim.android.automemman this allows you to set ram to what you want. but also it keeps your setting in ram manager and this one where you want them.

6. THE FACEBOOK APP!!!. IMO this app is horrible. i have found that it runs high ram in the background. running anywhere from 23mb to 65mb. so i use friend caster pro. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.senab.blueNotify&hl=en this runs from 13mb to its highest i have seen 26mb.

Try these things to make your phone faster. but know when doing these things you do them at your own risk.

big shout out to all here that are making custom roms and for making cwm for this phone soon hopfully jocala will get the CM9 KANG done and we can have this to put our phone in beast mode

Has everyone jumped to the ics bandwagon? Ive noticed that many gb based roms are not being updated or any new roms are being made from gb...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jb8301:
I have noticed that too, I kinda like the GB ones my self...more stable at the moment, I think anyway...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
I'm still running Caulk's EL29. I see way too many issues with the ICS leaks.

I don't want to have to put up with force closes, loss of notification sounds, bad battery life, loss of the ability to move apps to the SD, or any of the other seemingly random bugs that may or may not plague me depending on the phase of the moon or if I had the right amount of toadstool and eye of newt ready when I flashed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abusedcloth:
I agree, I don't think we should be wasting our time on ICS until it becomes a final product. I have been tempted to go to another phone because of the lack of development. I personally like running Blazer ROM 4.0, really good ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stljim2005:
re

I perfer GB roms more as well. And agree with finding them more stable and better GUI interface. Still running Caulk's EL29 as well. no problems at all with it. But could someone help me with a Kernel issue of trying to find the right kernel that supports BLN?? please and thankyou.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigfdaddy:
I prefer gb as far as reliability but like the look n feel of ics... Didnt realize gb roms would come to such a halt...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stljim2005:
re

I like the blueish look of ICS and the icons but not the feel for the simpleness look of it.. woulda expected a bit more for a vast or anxious release that many people want. some of the added features are interesting as well but should be hard to implement them for GB as well..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] new57:
Well, here goes my first post.....

I took the plunge tonight. Went from from stock rooted el29 to sfhub's stock rooted fc22.

It seemed a little unstable for me so oc rooted back to el29, installed cwm and used my nandroid backup to restore all my settings.

All in all, it was a good exercise to see all the capabilities of ICS, but i am going to stick with GB until the official roll out.

I am pretty amazed with the development community here!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
I've tried just about every leaked ICS build and currently am running sfhub's one-click FC22 but EL29 remains my go-back-to build for guaranteed stability.

I've stopped installing all my apps, mostly because I'm unsure of restoring apps within new builds, so it makes it easier for me to play around with the leaks and learn something new.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] enfurno:
Stick with gb. Ics is not a daily drive in my opinion. I have tried them all. Calks el29 is by far the best rom for this phone at the moment.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
What is already made is what is going to be for gb no one is going to go back and update ...they are all working on ics
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lafester:
What exactly are you wanting them to update? I only run calks builds but I assume nobody left a half finished project out there except maybe cm7 lol. ICS will be final very soon and everyone will forget about GB.

re

GB is the way to go and believe Dev's should still work and update GB roms because of the community that still want GB over ICS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Everyone has to realize that many of the developers have taken the Gingerbread Roms just about as far as they can.

Also, they're releasing these ICS builds so that they (and we) can learn more about ICS so when the finalized product does arrive from Samsung we'll all be better prepared. They will have a better handle on it from a programming perspective and the end users will already have a better idea on how to handle certain problems as they arise.

Edit: I'm running Calkulin's GB Rom btw :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lehalter:
First of all, I want to say that I absofreakinglutely love this ROM. I have FINALLY convinced my friends with Evos to root and give this thing a shot because of what this ROM is capable of.

I have two issues that maybe I can get some assistance with. I am running Milestone 4.

First, the GPS just doesn't work. I lose GPS signal instantly and it does not guide me. I have flashed GAPPS, this did not actually put Maps on my phone so I installed it from the market. Any assistance with this would make me pretty much shutup.

Second, there is a lag when I turn on the screen to when the screen actually turns on. I haven't officially timed it, but I would say it is a second, maybe slightly longer. I have turned off all animation. This problem isn't going on 100% of the time, but at least 50%.

[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
So since yesterday I spotted an little dust part under mine HTC Evo 3D.

http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/4341/dsc05407c.jpg

And today I went to the store where I bought it. MediaMarkt Herzogenrath in Germany.

After a long discussion about giving me a new one they said no, they don't do that, so it needed go for warranty and I got get an borrow phone, but it was just one to call with.

So after they where taking it in for warranty I decided to wait with as it can take 2 to 3 weeks till I got it back. In fact there is almost nothing wrong with this HTC Evo 3D, only if its nice weather like today then outside I can see this dust part clearly under the display and that annoys me.

So I did two things after I came back from MediaMarkt Herzogenrath Germany, the first thing I did is put it for sale and if I sell it decide later if I would get an new Evo 3D or wait for HTC One X.

But just now I also contacted HTC and tell about the problem I have. As I think it really unacceptable for me, the phone is just two weeks old and I suddenly spot one dust under the display.

I put it one sale because I feel that is maybe easier then using the warranty.If some people from Germany could explain about mine rights in the MediaMarkt that would be cool to, as I just apply the Europe rights and that means they have to send it for warranty and give me 2 years warranty what they do.

Also its s-offed, should I lock the bootloader if it would go for warranty. I could live with it, but its still annoying on the moment, I don't see it inside and past two weeks it wasnt sunny like yesterday and today so if it already was there then maybe that is reason I not saw it, but could also come there later.

Guess what I already found an buyer. I think I can better keep the money and buy an newer HTC, as the HTC One serie will be released soon.

3.Even if you manage to get odin to detect POP plus,once the firware files are loaded odin throws "OUT OF MEMORY" error due to incompatible .ops file(since your using ops meant for galaxy pop)

if your phone is indeed 5830 and not 5830i you will have no problem

Just download from samfirmware the version that suits u best

Put phone in dowload mode

Set up ODIN in the correct way (If its One package select one package, in the OPS put the cooper.ops, and start, if is multiple put the files in the correct order PDA, PHONE ...)

Hit star wait till odin says pass!

If you get in a bootloop just go to recovery wipe cache and do factory reset ;)

Good to go! as simple as this!

Remove KIES software from your PC (from Control Panel - Remove Programs/Applications)

Do the same for Samsung USB Driver (if it's not in the list then it's ok).

Reboot your PC.

Reinstall the USB Driver (don't install KIES). (the USB drivers are somewhere on the forum).

When the drivers are installed, reconnect your phone with USB cable, and try again.

In the upper left corner (of Odin), the white box below Com Port Mapping should fill up with a Com Port.

Did you put your phone in download mode before connecting it to your pc?

That's when your screen says Downloading (in green)..

Going into download mode is easy:

- Remove battery

- Press HOME + POWER + Volume DOWN at the same time

- Insert battery while keeping these button pressed.

Then connect your phone, windows should detect "new hardware", just let this run.

Then start Odin again.

Hello all,

Ultimately , I am trying to downgrade my 1.50 hboot via the method on HTCEvoHacks . I cannot temp root via their method however, because I a have 2.17 ruu installed. They recommended to just use taco root. When I try taco, it boots to recovery , but I get a red triangle. In fact , when I press "recovery" from hboot, I get the same issue. I have completely re-flashed the stock 2.17 RUU with full data wipe, still same problem.

I must be missing something here, would appreciate your help

thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] patrao_n:
By the way I used zergrush it works better. Also if you want to go to 2.08 do the first part of unknowns thread that's about the mainver downgrade in adb then run the 2.08 ruu exe and you are all good. Start from beginning. I couldn't get the 2.17 as PG86IMG to stick until I used the one in the tools thread. But ya zergrush man

[HTC EVO 3D] daliatre:
Thanks patrao, will do. However, I cannot change mainver since I must have temp root. I cannot use the zergRush temp root method (meant for 2.08) , so the only way is to tacoroot. I cannot succesfully finish taco because the phone crashes right at recovery. Red triangle. Is it possible my recovery is corrupted in some way ? Like I said, I flashed a fresh copy of 2.17, including recovery. Not sure what would crash recovery in that way.

Any help much appreciated .
[HTC EVO 3D] civicstyle01:
tacoRoot

when you open root.bat in the tacoRoot folder, after it does its thing itll show hold down power button, volume up, and volume down but all at once and when it reboots to recovery you'll be fine. my only problem is after that part and doing the mainver commands, i put the pg86IMG.zip in my root of my sd card, and it wont find it. it checks for it but doesn't find it.
[HTC EVO 3D] daliatre:
Ok, Vol Up/Down and Power got me to the Recovery options. Had tried it before, but did not work for some reason.

patrao, I did change over to 2.08, and proceed with zergRush , thank you.

However, I currently have phone bricked, but I cannot get the 1.40 flash going. When I insert bricked phone into Ubuntu (virtual box) , both Win and Ubuntu report a non-android USB. The driver reads Qualcomm I believe, and I suppose this is why it cannot find device and flash.
