If the phone has hdmi out you could hook it to a tv and use it with a bluetooth keyboard/mouse as a computer - some of these phones can even run ubuntu linux for a full pc experience
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerys71:
nice idea! none of the "cheap" ones have that function yet (hdmi) but you can get used droids sometimes under $100 if your vigilant that do.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerys71:
Found some new software!!

Converter software. convert from any unit to any unit. they have some GREAT software available to do this !!

Talking Timer. I will absolutely get a use for this. I use talking timers when flying competition rocket gliders. we have to fly 15 minutes and land at zero so we use talking timers (radio shack) so we can sync our landing.

they are rather hard to find and now I can use my droid to do it. sweet!

Scientific Calculator. lots of neat apps for this!

come on I know you guys have to have some idea's !!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bangoo:
That's marginal, but as an avid boardgames/cardgames player, i personnaly also use it for dice and counter apps.

Oh, and the timer is useful for that purpose too.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerys71:
BTW use FULL SENSOR mode for both phones (score and vitality) MUCH faster MUCH smaller file size you can do 1 sec intervals with NO issues on either device in lapse it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HunterKiotori:
I recently got a new Htc Evo 4g after my old one died, I went through the proper steps to root it and flashed a rom to it. Everything has been going fine until i noticed that a this strip of the touch screen at the top has stopped working. this is a horizontal line at the level of the search button in Google play. I noticed the same symptoms in an Evo Shift until the screen completely died to touch. I am praying this doesn't happen to my Evo so I am wondering if anyone else knows of this problem and possibly a solution
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevovanburen:
Hey,

that doesnt sound like a rooting issue to me, I think your digitizer is going bro :/

but the good news is they are cheap to replace

http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Evo-Replacement-Screen-Digitizer/dp/B00427PUMK

good Luck man, you can try reflashing a new rom and making sure you wipe your cache and dalvik but I really think the digitizer is just going
[HTC EVO 3D] rockerdudelive:
I just loaded on Meanrom and i've been using myns warm for months. I just haven't figured out if there is a setting to change the quick settings pulldown tab. It was a feature i love in myns tweaks where i could change the settings that showed up (really only gps, wifi, mobile data and flashlight) and i would like to get rid of other settings.

Does anyone know if there is a setting somewhere that i'm too stupid to find? and if i search the meanrom post i can't really find anything directly related to quick setting settings.

thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] Aersaud:
I believe this has not been implemented in MeanROM yet. And there is no flashable zip that I know of. I also love this feature. Sorry.

[HTC EVO 3D] Condo20t:
Only in version 3.0. I'm using it now on 2.9.
[HTC EVO 3D] rockerdudelive:
I got 3.0 i'll have too keep an eye out for updates to it. I have only tried 3.0 but he said he tweaked it to work with chads anthrax kernel and its super smooth.

So far there are no tweaks (like cm7 or myns) which means no customizing the quick settings, and no crt on/off animations. and i don't think it had the htc flashlight. but other than that it is awesome. crazy nenamark scores and seems to be great battery life.

I would highly recommend giving it a try
[HTC EVO 3D] Deleted member 3915100:
It's a really good ROM. Everyone keeps speaking of tremendous battery life though which I am not seeing. I wonder if my battery is hosed? Anyway, I want to be able to swipe the sound quicksetting and be able to change it like you can in Nocturnals Adrenaline.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
Everything's stable, more colorful, and battery life is definitely better. Ics was fun whole it lasted, but I just realized how good EL29 is, compared to ics (for the tome being).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JSnively:
Don't go you just have to stick with one rom and let it settle.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
I've given all ics roms a chance, no disrespect to the devs, they made it a lot more enjoyable. It's just that it's based on unofficial leaks and I'd rather have everything workig rather than finding out what's broke in a situation where i need it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TeamERA:
I find fc22 to be perfect for me ( havnt ran into anything broke, besides setting wallpaper), and I see about a 10% increase in battery life, but I have removed as much as I would in a gb rom. Im happy. And I have done the right tests to make sure my battery life is better...

Like I was saying earlier I was getting 11 hrs battery life 4G and brightness on full internet music for a hr or so angry birds and fb I'm not even rooter either :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JSnively:
I am on Agat63 FC22 and the only issue is the notification sound and that is kinda user error. I get about the same battery as I got on phantom blazer el29. Same usage.

---------- Post added at 11:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 PM ----------

Hey Overstew is there a good place to read up on what to change in these roms to get ICS blue? I use to do custom roms on touch pro 2 but that was a lot diffrent.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kanekz:
wut el29 are you running anyways? Stock, Calk's tweaked, etc. Just curious. I've been thinking about going back. Battery life was better for me on GB. Btw, ur ics themes for them were awesome!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dw3bb10:
I ran CM9 Alpha for a few days, and im back on Blazer 4.0. Missed the battery life, GPS stability, and overall fluidity. Cant WAIT for all the kinks to be worked out in CM9 though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lviv73:
I flashed about 5 different EL29 roms and haven't flashed ics once.Because i know that ics is nowhere near ready yet and there isn't cwm for it yet.

The whole procedure is tricky(i can do it),flashing cm7 and then ics.And to go back to gb is think Odin i best bet if you don't want a brick.

Once there is stable ics and stable cwm for ics so i can flash different roms(without flashing cm7 first) then i will make that move.But i ditched Sprint and flashed to Virgin Mobile and i don't have warranty anymore to fix Epic if it bricks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Hey over stew what method did you use to go back? :)

I've been wanting to just scared of bricking my phone lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lviv73:
Im on Blazer but i never achieved great battery life on it,my battery last about a day.

When i was on MIUI GB my battery lasted about two days,i would go back but he dont update it anymore and no hw acceleration.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Just odin back
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
Stock EL29, stock theme. I just odin'd back to stock.

I really loved cm9 but it's just not there yet. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
sfhub's restore to el29.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
I did the same thing. I would much rather have full function and stability for now. We will have full source for ICS before too long. Then I will go back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TeamERA:
For all the people switching back, whats your main problem with ics fc22. Because I thought about switching back until I moved to fc22 from fc18.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
Battery life in low signal areas. Certain incompatibility in some apps. (words with friends, for example.) And scrolling.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] toprock23:
It really depends on ur needs. I agree that the ICS leaks are a lil flaky. I appreciate what the devs have done and all, but now ive moved on to asop cm9. It is ridiculously smooth! And notifications work perfectly. I dont use gps, i rarely use camcorder anyways. Although these deficits are ok with me, others so not much.

Sent from my SPH-D710
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Honestly my main reason is due to all the constant updates. I personally tweak each ROM I run as what I want isn't readily available and I can do the work myself to make the build I am after. I get one done and a new one pops out. Which is great and frustrating at the same time. The fact that not everything is out for it either puts a damper on it too. Like a hotspot hack for the latest builds. I don't blame any of the devs for not keeping it updated as once they do update it another build comes out. That is a lot of work. Just moving PNG's around is a ***** much less coding framework files. It is little things that will take source for people smarter then me to fix. As far as issues I really haven't had a lot of them. The battery and scrolling can be aggravating. The notification sounds is a little annoying too but easily dealt with. But mainly I just would rather run a complete build now. Gather my PNG's and such and then once a final build is out. Make the one I have been waiting for.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] danasmith2816:
I've tried every leak as it came out but keep going back to Blazer 4.0 on EL29. Can't wait to get source code on ICS, then i'm sure there will be some roms without the little quirks that each leak has had.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darkfire2024:
For me, the only problem is once you go AOSP, you can't go back. The only problem I've encountered so far *knock on wood* is the lack of video recording, which is being addressed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Yeah. Once video recording is fixed on AOSP then it will be for the most part complete. Then when sour e code is released any little bugs that are still around will get squashed pretty quick.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
Haha same with me :D

GB is still definitely better

I miss ics yes but forgot how stable and fast GB really was. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
I agree its not all polished up yet but that new rom Gummy and Codename(have not tried yet) seem to give me just what I need. Clean no frills ICS rom.... Can't wait for the day when all these roms are running at top level and we can just flash away...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
The thing I noticed ics does better than gb is sleep. Used my phone at work for a total of 45 minutes (connected to wifi the entire time), and after 10 hours, I was still at 86%. After work when making a 20 minute phone call, and catching up on my games, in that 50 minutes it went down another 15%. Listened to music on the way home unplugged, another 7%. Left if off the charger, and in 2 hours sleeping, it only went down 1%. Went to the gym and listened to music for 35 minutes, 9%. So from 6am-10pm, it was at 52%. Not bad. But yes, it sleeps better, but when in use, it drains faster.

Oh, I stop quite a few services as well. I stop AP Mobile, Media Hub, Social Hub, Facebook after use, Words With Friends, Digital Clock, AccuWeather, Weather Underground, and turn off background data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
I agree. The battery usage when idle is stellar in GB and atrocious in ICS. I'm running Codename and am seeing pretty good battery life considering the kernel isn't built from source yet.

I have been tempted to go back to Blazer or Calk GB ROMs with 'Stew's theme... we'll see
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
All ics rom are alpha at best right now. We all know that. It's only to give us a taste at the greatness to come. I agree, battery has been my biggest peeve but that in part is due to kernel. Once we have kernel source and the devs get to work their magic, watch out, it's going to be fun. Not to mention that I believe it will cut down on all the hatred. Once there isn't some crazy ass flashing process for the noobs to get caught up on, it will be smooth sailing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
Exact opposite for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Yeah, I'm back on el29 for a while too. ICS is awesome, but I'm not the one to put it through testing, need every ounce of my battery with my work schedule and GB just does ot better at the moment. Love what the devs are doin, just sitting back for a moment til it's kinked out
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bubur_bewok:
Fc18 is the best rom for me..no bugs at all..and the modem is the strongest yet..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
I've been contemplating the return to EL29, not due to any trouble with FC22 but only because I want to use that $%&#@ $17 app I bought (because I'm an idiot) right before FC22 was released without realizing the app didn't run on ICS.

So, in essence, I just need to get my money's worth out of it before returning to ICS and, who knows, maybe by then the official ICS will be out.

Mad props to all the hard working Devs, through the flashing of all these leaks, installation of recovery, nanadroiding, TBing, etc I've learned a lot in the last few months.

And, let's be serious, the next ICS leak will probably find me flashing once again because, as previously stated, all the leaks have left me with the patience of a 4yr old wanting a cookie.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] parkslope:
I also decided to go back to EL29 for the time being. While there are some cool things about ICS, every build has had its problems and, for me, FC22 is no different.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asteetva:
Browser autofit is not working...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sputnik767:
Honestly, the only real bug that I noticed in FC22 is the notification loss bug, and I can confirm that it only happens if you hang up the phone and push the home, back, or power keys immediately after. Otherwise, my battery life may be slightly worse than GB, but still easily lasts me 16-18 hour days on the stock battery with my usage (I'm a med student so don't sleep much), GPS locks fast and always solid and accurate, I do get minor FCs here and there on occasion, but nothing that hurts usability. I never undervolted before anyway because I didn't see a good enough reason to do it as battery life was great, and I still feel the same way. It's a leak, but definitely good enough to be a daily driver.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RPerry435:
I went back to el29 as well. I pull 17 hrs on a full charge. Wasnt getting anywhere near that with ics
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Thanks over stew and Korey for the answers :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdsnyder:
I've gone back and forth about 4 times, including FC22.. I'm also sticking with GB until the official release.

Oh who am I kidding, I'll flash the next leak when it comes out.. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
EL29 is the most stable for our devices....IMO. I won't budge from it until ICS gets alot of the kinks worked out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Same here. My wifi idle battery drain is amazing on ICS...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] noobtoob:
Agreed. Same here. I went back to GB and have run my phone for 2 days now, just hitting 50%. I wasn't on it as much as usual, but still amazed at the life I am getting out of it. Loved a lot of features that ice has, and appreciate all the hard work the devs are doing, just don't think it is ready yet. Running calks 2.9.2 with tiffany84 nothing but the honey. Great setup as far as I am concerned.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
So you have used your phone for 12 min in 4 hours. I think I use my phone a little more than that...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Went back to EL29 2 weeks ago. everything is stable and snappier. I'm fine with gingerbread lol. ICS didn't offer much as I think it would. I'll just wait until the cyanogenmods are completely stable
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] M1nze:
gingerbread for the win!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
That's what idle battery drain is..when you aren't using it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smashpunks:
Agree with op. El29 may be the best stock ROM in the history of Android. Ics is notably slower. Worse battery and just not smooth..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
Gotcha, wasn't trying to be a prick. I wish I had the same luck. Then again, I was having a problem with playing with my phone every time I had an ics rom installed. Lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
My problem with the comments in this post are that everyone seems to think the current ics roms are how ics is going to be. We aren't even close yet. We can't tweak the kernels yet for uv and speed tweaks. Hell, we aren't even running 4.0.4 with the Android os fix. It's going to get so much better.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Oh, I hear you there. I switched locks on my setup and it took two days for things to get right again! After I changed I was losing 4x the battery at first. The calibration period is very different on ICS. I have been fortunate but Venum is a dark themed stock ROM basically. Inverted apps are the key to my setup. My Calkulin and strongsteve GB setups settled in much faster and numbers were more consistent
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I agree 110% with that. I remember Gingerbread at first. I refused to switch from Froyo on my Epic because the Gingerbread leaks had RAM leak issues that caused reboots, apps acted strange, acore and Google Services Framework FC's, etc but after time it got much better. This is far from its prime still
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
Yeah, those are the few I haven't tried. Maybe need to give it a go again and try to stay on a single rom longer. I can say that my gummy setup was on my phone for 3 days and had the best battery life, so maybe settling in for longer is the key.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Day 3 is where things really take off for me but 3 days around here is like three weeks with all of the new ROMs that have been coming out
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Oh absolutely. It is going to be bad ass once source drops and an OTA is dropped. I know that what we have now is Alpha and and will have issues. That's why I would rather run GB now and then ICS once its released officially. The devs here have done some amazing work with that they have access too.

Edit: The Android 4.0.4 update just rolled out for the Nexus. So it really won't be much longer at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
Some fc22 bugs I've encountered so far. Notifications stop if you end call n hit any key to exit to homescreen, music player crashes when playing music and trying to access the settings menu, some albums which listed fine on gb now are broken and instead of being in the right album are in unknown listing, browser gets retarded after a while and flash gets buggy, apps force close every now and then, battery could be better too (phone gets hot sometimes), also my running apps memory went from the 200s gb to 500s ics guess from the new stuff added. But its pretty usable for a leak. Just pointing some bugs out since some people say they don't see any bugs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
So I flashed back to EL29 which means I get to play with my ridiculously expensive tsf shell launcher but in the process I lost access to Nova Launcher, I can't win! lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
7 hours of screen on time... Are you using a third party battery? That's really insane and makes me excited for official ics.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
I've been running the stock leaks since mid Feb with none of my normal tweaks. I just get my goto Apps in there and just let it roll in all its bloated glory. It'll only end up being a couple of months running this way which I don't mind so much. But as soon as the source hits I'm going to be all over AOSP. I was dead set on CM9 but man Codename looks excellent too. I see myself bouncing between those two a lot in the near future.

BTW the only reason I haven't tried either is I need to have my camera recording and playback working 100%. Once that final bug is squashed I'm all over AOSP.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Nope, stock everything. I get over 5 even on a bad day. Today I was on wifi, 3g, 4g and GPS and I still got over 5 hours but like I said, it seems different for everyone but I kind of know these Sammy phones now. I run the same setup on my NS4G but underclock it and I get over 4 hours screen time out of that. I use my same inverted apps on both phones, always adjust brightness from status bar, etc
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yeah when those ROMs are 100%, we are going to have a bunch of goodies to choose from. I am looking forward to it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TX2000:
Count another one going back to el29. Loved ics but it is not ready yet. The thing is that is not reliable at all. Today I totally lost the 3g connection and had to Odin back. It wasn't the network because I had more phones around me and all were connecting to Internet. Don't get me wrong it is nice and I appreciate all the work that the devs have done. And again many thanks to the talented people we have here.

Can someone make battery calibration thread on here?

I read few different threads about battery calibration and don't know which one is right.

I do this:

1 Discharge Epic all the way

2 Go to cwm and wipe dalvic cache and battery stats 3 times

3 Charge it all the way

4 Boot the phone and let battery die until phone shuts off and repeat the process

Is this correct?

I read another article on SDX(Samsung Development) forums that its not recommended doing battery wipe from cwm at all because it will mess up the battery.

They said that battery stats stores important info about the battery(how many times it been discharged,how many cycles left,usage adjustments,etc..) and when those stats are deleted then it can actually be hurting and shorting battery life.I don't know if there is any truth to it but it sounds reasonable.
