[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jcaicedo82:
So yesterday my epic was stolen. I call sprint to do my ins claim n found out my upgrade was up. So I decided to givea shot to the EVO (keeping in mind that I have 14 days to switch to my gs3 lol ) .this phone looks n feels amazing but truly has far as the performance goes it cannot match our E4GT. It has too many issues. Despite not having LTE yet this phone is not an upgrade from the epic. Google wallet doesn't work , WiFi issues , multitask sucks and I don't care what people say this phone lags. Keep in mind I'm neither an HTC or Samsung fanboy. I'm just android freak looking for the best experience.

from my EVO using XDA
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jbadboy2007:
I am a Samsung fanboy and am using the EVO til gs3 is in stores and everything you said is correct and more. The things that are blowing me away is the mods that keep deleting the threads of the people that are discussing why they are returning the phone and how many returns that there for quite a few different reasons.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jcaicedo82:
Sadly but true!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 14u2c:
99 dollars by winter.. lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bjgebg:
Return mines today as well n switch back to my epic touch until the galaxy 3 is released the evo lte isn't a upgrade at all when compared to the epictouch , there was GPS issues alot of lag but that's nothing with sense and another I notice I never receive any app notifications
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jcaicedo82:
Free by 01/2013 if the world doesn't end lmao
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jbadboy2007:
Wtf is with the text messages when you get voicemails. That's how shi**y sense is. I really hate using this phone but I broke mine so this is a loaner.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayharper08:
Hate to do this but it's not going to do anything but turn into a fanboy and troll thread peeps. :cool:

Thoughts?

[Galaxy S III General] Wond3r:
My thoughts are: turn the damn screens off so we can see any scratches easier...
[Galaxy S III General] jacksparr0w:
It is somewhat hard to see from the video if the screens were scratched however I am sure that what he did left its mark on both phones even though it may be fine scratches... :eek:

Why anyone would do a test like this using a knife to stab the phone is beyond me. Not really a accurate way of displaying a situation our beloved smartphones would be in. I do not for see my brand new Samsung Galaxy S3 being stabbed by a knife or cut ever!!!
[Galaxy S III General] M@31:
hahahhaha no doubt eh?

I just can't even imagine doing that to my new phone once I get it.

I have the SGS I now (just over 2 years) and have never used a screen protector.

Im pretty careful with my phone.

This makes me a bit more secure with my objections to using a screen cover.

[HTC Wildfire S] kantry123:
hello folks,

does anybody hav an idea of how many times a ROM or a custom ROM can be flashed on a device(HTC wildfire s)

thanks in advance
[HTC Wildfire S] abhi8569:
Good topic.. i was searching for the answer of this queation. Hope i will get it now.:)
[HTC Wildfire S] johnnyspritz:
I have no idea. I've reflashed my phone so many times I thought my phone would stop working, but apparently it can take it :P There was a time I flashed a new ROM every two days or so, but these last two week I haven't really flashed anything new. But I must have flashed something new around 30 times or so, so far.
[HTC Wildfire S] kantry123:
stil no answer..?
[HTC Wildfire S] Fikus011:
Its like this: average NAND flash chip will take over 1000 cycles,so no worries there.

When i say over 1000 i mean like 10000

Also important to know that life of a flash memory is beyond your capability to destroy it with flashing roms every day-so...no worries there too.

Now i would have to type whole night,or to copy/paste a bunch of tech stuff here to explain...YOU JUST HAVE TO TRUST ME ;)

Another thing-VERY IMPORTANT-Constant overclocking WILL shorten the life of your CPU if not fry it like an egg....so avoid that if you dont really need it.

For OC you need to understand how much is safe,and then you can play all you want.

Hope i helped....answer in the end is-FLASH AS MUCH AS YOU WANT WITHOUT FEAR...

CHEERS!!!
[HTC Wildfire S] kantry123:
thank you so much for your answer... i have no fear now for flashing roms...:):)
[HTC Wildfire S] baluuu:
am i the only one who flashed his phone over 300 times in 3 months ? God i probably shoulda asked same question long time ago. Well no harm no foul :P
[HTC Wildfire S] intel007:
Same here, probably more:confused::D I switch between 3 roms, each have different strenghs eg. Cm7 for flash player, cm9 beauty, stock for sat nav & battery. I too did wonder how many flashes I would be able to safely accomplish. Sometimes I flash twice a day.
[HTC Wildfire S] Gloris:
me too, but more out of necessity than curiosity....i'm still trying to find a reliable, stable rom that gives me plenty of storage room for apps.

it seems to me that with this phone you basically have to choose whether you want a "smart" phone that will totally die out on you every few days, or a "basic" phone which will not allow you to have really any personal apps, but which will then last for a good couple of weeks before giving you the dreaded "low storage" messages and start lagging like hell.

but yeah, i've had to flash mine literally hundreds of times in the last 6 months, and it's still going (well....just about, as i said, this phone has never been "reliable" as such)
[HTC Wildfire S] kantry123:
thank u so much..!
[HTC Wildfire S] benjamingwynn:
Well this isn't technically true. You can do no serious damage to your phone via flashing but every flash you do has the possibility of corrupting your phones internal storage due to it formatting the /system partition. This could create bad sectors on your phones internal mtd - this slowly eats away your internal memory by about 8bytes each time. That's about 8 ANSII characters (letters/numbers/symbols) so there isn't anything to worry about really.

From all the constant file transfers, installations and wipes I do each day I have about 6 bad sectors.

This is ABSOLUTELY nothing to worry about by the way, I just thought it would be interesting.

You would need around 500000 corrupted MTD sectors to lose the equivalent to ONE MP3 SONG on your internal memory.

Please note that its late at night here so my math may not be totally correct, but it'll be pretty close.
[HTC Wildfire S] kantry123:
thank u so much...but is there a way to wipe those bad sectors..??

thanks in advance...!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] ClausG76:
Are you satisfied with your Huawei mediatap.

I'm considering buying one, but i noticed that the samsung galaxy tap 2 7", is costing almost the same, where i live. This version of the galaxy doesn't have 3g. But I'm not going to use 3g, but it's nice have though. What would you choose, if you had the choice?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] shiranmotha:
Mediapad is a real value for the money. But still this has a small user base, so still lacks good community support. There is no good custom rom so far. In my country Mediapad with ICS costs the same as The Samsung tab 2 7". But the HC version of Mediapad costs less, and it only takes 5 mn to upgrade to ICS.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] rkwhyte2:
I have the Springboard from TMobile and find it to be a great device for my needs. I like the cellular capabilities and use it in the car as a GPS. Overall I'm very satisfied and once Huawei releases the source code for ICS the custom ROM's will start to show up. For now I'm rooted and running a stripped down ROM.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mangoman:
the samsung galaxy tab 2 without 3g is 30% cheaper here, the one with 3g the same price.

BUT the samsung has 1024 x 600 display, proprietary Samsung connector so no hdmi and usb. That should be enough to look somewhere else.

edit,-

Forgot that with samsung tab you also need to buy an overpriced connector if you want to hook it up with hdmi to a tv.

Then you need to plug in the samsung power cord to the hdtv connector, then plug the hdtv connector to the tab, then the hdmi cable to the hdtv connector. The tab needs to be powered\charging while connected to a tv.

I really don't like those small proprietary connectors, either they are not at hand when needed or get lost.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] ClausG76:
Thanks

I read in magazine review today. That the touch screen isn't that well, and that you sometimes have to press twice. Is this also what you have experienced, or is it and old fw issue.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] rurou:
Compared to the fw that came with the tablet, it improves a lot... But still not on par with the likes of Samsung, HTC or other well known brands. Depending on the apps, yes, sometimes the touch won't register.. basically the screen/driver setting is too sensitive thus sometimes touch is registered as swipe. It isn't a big problem though, just a small annoyance. Right now I'm posting this from mediapad and I can type comfortably.

Basically both are good tablet for the money, but I like the fact that mediapad have separate input for the power, HDMI, and USB. The higher dpi screen also very nice... Less zooming needed when you're browsing the net.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] dark_fighter:
I bought one a month ago or so and I can tell that it is a great device with great potential... H/W specs are excellent (especially the screen resolution, cpu and ram), There are already two major custom ICS roms that doesn't do much, but offers a lighter os and the remove of all Huawei apps that you may never use and just consume free space. And the best thing is the price... It's quite cheap for what it offers and the device doesn't give you a "chinese" product quality (in fact it is excellent). It could answer lots of your questions if you read the review at the gsmarena.com.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] repairnewb:
I'm very happy with mine. I've had it for 3 months or so. I really like the mini usb and hdmi ports which galaxy does not have , screen is not quite as responsive as the galaxy, and some apps are not available in play store that are available for galaxy, but there are workarounds for those. All that in mind, I think you would be happy with either purchase.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] ary12282:
I am satisfied with mediapad, in my country the price is much cheaper than the samsung tab 2 (3G). with the same spec, mediapad much better and elegant. (No bundling system in my country)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] joytest:
Just got one pre-owned 2 days ago, good so far

I got a used unit 2 days ago, put in a broadband SIM, and working great so far. Primary use as browsing device and book reader.

Upgraded to C232B005 as well, pretty good. Giving it a good spin over the next few days. Charging via USB works with my existing Galaxy Note 1A charger.

Any records of any builds successfully running, loading and booting on microSD

X

C card's?

We all know by now good and well that if you improperly force format it to Fat32 it'll pick up in android and windows mobile devices.

So what is the likeliness of this happening and a build actually supporting the behemoths?

Has anybody tried making a build or what exactly is that limits us to the normal microSD and microSDHC?

I'd really love to be able to dual boot with my 64Gb card and put it to good use.
[HD2 Android SD Development] DorkyDev:
[YOUTUBE]DSjdIVTNXis[/YOUTUBE]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSjdIVTNXis

I'll be straight up with all of you, what I've noticed in my symptoms is that when in windows mobile 6.5 I'll get a SOD but that could be because my WinMo side is on the verge of needing a hard reset again. Plus normally the Android loader and haret.exe aren't that sluggish. You know how things like to eff up and go haywire especially sometimes right when you're about to do groundbreaking publications on it. haha
[HD2 Android SD Development] DorkyDev:
So who wants in? The way we all could work together now that we know that it is possible is reporting bugs and known sd roms that actually work with it, how good or well one runs over the other and everything... As well as with Class type 4/10 (Whatever other Classes there are) so on and et cetera.

The possibilities are literally endless now, because with what lil experience I did have with WP7 and WP7.5 I believe it (Microsoft) creates an exFAT partition of your normal card when setting it all up, and so since we all know about creating a dual boot with WP7 (However I never successfully accomplished it, I guess I was destined for other discoveries ^_^ and to be honest I didn't really care too much for WP7 before or after I tried it. LoL!) SD Android so to speak as well as a portion of it (Your SD Card) formated for it in of course Fat32 Primary. So if anybody wants to give that a whack as well might also bang out successful booting of SD/MAGLDR Android too while you're at it. Feel free to report back your findings.

I say if you have a 64Gb microSDXC Card laying around, then give it a shot! Or if you can afford to spend that much as well. LoL

Hope to hear from everyone soon!
[HD2 Android SD Development] kunsam:
Hi! are you saying that HTC HD2 ACTUALLY recognises 64GB SD cards? and that you managed to boot Android with it??

Which brand card is this? Sandisk? and whats the 'class'?

have you tried running videos - both 480p and 720p and also playing songs, etc? no lags?
[HD2 Android SD Development] DorkyDev:
That's exactly what I'm saying... LoL! I'm not exactly certain what videos run in it, however songs play perfectly in it(Honestly I'm more of a music buff usually, plus when I go for downloading movies they're always DVDRips at 600/800Mb, IMO I see no point in playing an hd video in something way much smaller than a quarter size of your smallest normal hd tv(26"), just doesn't add up, nor make any sense... All I really need is vids in the res of 400x840 and it's good enough for me) and theres no data loss switching between WinMo and Android. It's a class 4, sandisk.

_

Update: This rom also works in it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1289477

So does this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1256423 it does however though have a much longer boot time.

FYI: Be sure to pop the 64Gb card in a microSD usb reader, download MiniTool Home Partition Wizard, delete it, click create, then select Fat32 and make sure it is set as Primary and finally click Apply sit back and let MiniTool finish formatting it, then you're all set and ready to go.
[HD2 Android SD Development] DorkyDev:
New video coming sometime next week, with a better (8Mp + Zoom and Focus ability) camera recording it, plus it'll be a lil more in depth and doing a casual walk-through of Android as much as I can squeeze together on a 2Gb, for some stupid reason my silly Fuji FinePix wont take anything more than a 2Gb (Standard) SD card. But the quality will be better hopefully. I was using one of those Kodak handheld video camcorders that ya can buy for $25.00 at nearly any Big Lots, it was all that was available while I was at work...

If theres anything like myMobiler for Android I'll do that as well if requested.
[HD2 Android SD Development] DorkyDev:
Alright so it turns out the camera was going to be just as blurry as the cheapo handheld pocket camcorder, so instead when I get home from work I'm gunna do a MyMobiler video since they make it for Android as well as Windows Mobile.
[HD2 Android SD Development] djxcee:
My phone recognizes my 64gb card.
[HD2 Android SD Development] DorkyDev:
haha!! This is pathetic... My old old old Sharp VL-E680 Super8 ViewCam actually focuses in on and shows the actual font on the phone screen, I don't have the 3.5mm Audio Video cable but will be picking one up shortly, I've also got a multi card reader that'll play files on the Tv with the same cable, so if I can't figure out which HTC Drivers I need for MyMobiler to record a video then I'll have a video uploaded when I get this cable. I also have a Pinnacle Lynx and Pinnacle Dazzle so no problems transfering videos from the Sharp ViewCam there, just need that cable to plug into Pinnacle.
[HD2 Android SD Development] DorkyDev:
I take it you're dual-booting... Which build is that, or is that the name of it in your sig NexusHD2?
[HD2 Android SD Development] DorkyDev:
Here's the MyMobiler video, more proof:

[youtube]glnSjZ8Ouq0[/youtube]

Sorry bout the lag and choppy video that was all MyMobiler's fault, not the 64Gb microSD, HD2 or Android SD Build.
[HD2 Android SD Development] DorkyDev:
3rd and final video coming up today or tomorrow, with the camcorder that'll actually focus in on text correctly.

Yea for real, I'd really love to see WebOS get developed for it now... Since we all know MeeGo is at a stand still. Can ya imagine Quad-Boot'ing, WP7.5/8 (Or) WinMo 6.5, SD Android, SD Ubuntu (Or another distro) and WebOS, or even if MeeGo did get rolling then Cinco(Spelling?)-Boot'ing

started first time :D

i am happy...

RE: 64G Sd Card

hello Everyone,

has anyone tried the class 10 version of the 64g sandisk on the HD2? curious cause it's cheaper than the class 2 and 4 in amazon! - thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] DorkyDev:
It'd just make everything faster. I believe. If class 4 works, class 10 should work too.

Works great for me. Partitioned 32g for FAT, 32g ext4 for NativeSD.

LMAO!! How is it that I never made a spot in XDA Portal for this? I tried to alert the appropriate head xda members and nothing, this lil nugget got swept under the rug... :silly: :p

Hi There,

I am currently using the eman Xperia Codename L5 with unlocked bootloader. I just noticed that my digital compass is not working. I tried a full system reset and it is still not working. A compass app that I downloaded from the market says Error with MAGNETIC sensor, reset phone.

I want to know if any one else is facing this issue or not, is it any how related to the OS that I am using? If its a hardware issue Ill take it to sony, I hope they can fix/replace it. But if any one else is having a similar issue, please report.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] monil.verma:
Just in case the above method doesn't work. Because the accelerometer gets struck at one of its mean position if it is exposed to a very emf for a short period of time. So if its not a software problem then it can work !

Hey guys, max payne finally came out on android however as soon as it finishes downloading all the files it shows a black screen and crashes.

When I try starting the game back up it again shows a black screen and crashes after a few seconds.

I'm running AOKP m5 with franco's kernel. I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem? I tried rebooting the phone, uninstalling the game and downloading it again from the market but no luck :(
