[Epic 4G General] socos25:
Its so they can get their geek on, duh.. lol

I try typing on the screen with my epic just to see if I coukd get used to it or be faster, I just can't do it. On this nook on typing on right now it isn't too bad but I just need the tactile feel.

So I may never get rid of my epic.

On another point, rise things are huge. Its like the Guy I saw with a Samsung note looked like he had a tablet up to his head.

I've seen some Bluetooth keyboards for the iPhone and there is always the possibility of the newer high end phones getting a magnetic dock connector to hook up an external keyboard

1. At the time of purchasing the Epic I was fond of the the keyboard, but I was also coming from a HTC Hero which was a much smaller phone. Since then I have grown used to the software keyboards and it's responsiveness. I have also grown annoyed with how bulky my phone is due to a hardware keyboard and how even bulkier it is when a case is put on it.

2. It's time to move on to a phone which will have a lot more developer support.

3. It's faster and better.

4. I live in San Antonio which is one of the very first areas to get LTE.

From the looks of the 3.5mm cover, it doesn't fit flush does it?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zmore:
How would you pry it off if it was flush? Need a little nub to grab a hold of.

Nice find. Would come in handy for those of us without full-body armor cases that go to the beach or other dirty environments not-so-often.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
Ok maybe not exactly flush but most of these things are made of rubber or something similar. You should be able to use your nail to pry it off.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NewPwnage:
Hey guys, my friend is very experienced at coding c#, c++, and coding like that. He thought of porting Call of Duty: Modern Warfare from PC to Android. He is going to talk to some of his friends that are experienced as well, and I told him that I would try to find Android developers. So, if your interested in helping out, pm me or email me at jacobwitt22@yahoo.com. I know it will be a long and hard process, but from what ive read, it is possible. Please help.

The "Thanks" button never hurt anyone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gagdude:
I'm not a developer, but I do think this would be pretty amazing.

However, MW3 needs a powerful CPU, GPU, and tons of RAM to run (minimum 2ghz dual core CPU, and 2-3gb of RAM). It also needs a GPU fast enough for all those graphics. No Android device has these types of specs yet.

So even if it was done, wouldn't it lag like crazy? Sorry, I don't mean to come in and immediately say its a flop, kinda rude of me, but can it really be done?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NewPwnage:
It might lag, but all you have to do is lower the graphic level before you port it. Im talking about multiplayer only. Only a few maps. It wouldnt require too much memory.

The "Thanks" button never hurt anyone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Meltus:
Seeing as Counter Strike has been successfully ported (XDA link doesn't work anymore), if you need any help they might be the guys to talk to! :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NewPwnage:
I thought about asking them, but they are all selfish. They wont help anyone, lol. Does nobody want CoD on Android? You would think people would want to help.

The "Thanks" button never hurt anyone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cusa:
Cod requires more resources than counter strike to run and it be would difficult to play on a device. I'd port something easier first.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NewPwnage:
Like I said before, it wouldnt be too hard of a process to only port online multiplayer files. Does anyone want to help? Or are you all just going to sit around saying its impossible.

The "Thanks" button never hurt anyone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SifJar:
A port is impossible without source code, and I am certain that CoD is not open source. A clone might be possible, but it'd be a huge amount of work to create anything even remotely resembling CoD.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NewPwnage:
Dude, weve already thought about all of this. We have our ways. I just need developers to pitch in and help.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MARIO SHARK:
Hey everyone. My evo was htc unlocked, but i wanted to get it s-off. so i used to the lazypanda method...and everything was working great. when i reached the 30 second part, i patiently waited 30 seconds, but it kept going. it went all the way to about 900 until i ended the program and did it again. it couldnt detect the device, and now i cant get my evo to turn on. :( help please!

UPDATE: My worries are over! My phone was indeed bricked, so I installed Linux on my Mac to use the unbrick tool. It was easy to do, but kind of a pain as well. Those who are having trouble and need instructions to unbrick...you've come to the right place :) Instructions will come shortly.

1. If you're absolutely positive that you are bricked...simply install Linux (Ubuntu) on your Mac or PC. A virtual machine will not work! You must use a CD or USB stick.

2. Once you have installed Linux, download
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rcbarr:
No Power <> Bricked

I don't see the connection between "it won't power up" and being bricked. Are you sure you had/have good power, i.e., plenty of battery left. If you are sure the battery is charged up, hit and hold the power until it comes up, try it. If your not sure about the amount of charge, plug it into your charger and do the same thing, hit and hold the power button, see what happens.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MARIO SHARK:
i had about 60% left. but even though it is connected to the usb cable right now, there is no charging light. im assuming that its bricked, therefore it isnt charging
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rcbarr:
Just for grins, unplug it from the USB (you may have already done this) and try to power it up. I can't see a way that some piece of code would nix(brick) the power, where it would not start up to "something", a loop, error, something.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MARIO SHARK:
wont power on :( guess im bricked
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jsufx:
I too am in this boat:/ Any help guys?

Edit: used Lazy Panda's method. Worked perfectly. Typing this from my once bricked EVO.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 18th.abn:
Plug in phone, check device manager to see if its recognized as qhsusb_dload mode. There a thread in original development covering lazypanda bricks. Need linux, live cd or whatever but it says 100% success so check it out
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Scaryghoul:
Well, the method and what not wasn't the same to get me to the issue, although on my last two phones the result of me purchasing another phone was that there was no charge light and it wouldn't turn on. I assumed it was bricked, and I still have these two dead devices on my desk. Neither of them power up or show any signs of being alive. I can leave them on the charger for hours and no heat is generated at all. Everyone just blames it on being a lemon o.O I tried literally everything I could think of, so assume I took every possible available measure to revive them =P(Short of taking it to any repair shops or opening the device up for surgery :3)

I am just sharing my experience, and to say that those things only happened on my htc devices and if you google around for devices not booting and no charge light then you'll see others with similar issues. If you get yours back up and running let me know ^^ It'd be interesting to have hope to bring back my shift/3d. Also good luck!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cor4twenty:
I had this same scenario earlier. After a while I gave up on waiting so I unplugged it and pressed the power button and volume down (don't ask me why I thought that would work lol) for about 15 seconds and it turned on. I reformatted my sdcard and ran the program again and now i'm SOFF :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ticklemepinks:
all u guys, just use the unbrick method http://unlimited.io/lazypanda-s-off-public-beta/evo-4g-lte-unbricker/
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rcbarr:
Marco while this might be a pain to setup (if your not running linux), you can download virtualbox from Oracle (a Sun product Oracle now owns) and then download and install your flavor of linux in a VM. You will put in a little time configuring linux, but it will get you to the test. Virtualbox is free, its similar to VMware Workstation or Microsoft's Virtual PC. I would go with Ubuntu, also free. What bugs me about your issue is you plug in the charger and you get no charging light. If this is indeed the case, even if you did all of this, how would you even be able to connect to the phone to issue the commands to unbrick it. Good luck.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rcbarr:
See Ticklemepinks link below.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MARIO SHARK:
alright thx guys for all of your help! i unbricked it! just one more question. how can i get s-off with linux? whenever i try to open FeedPanda, it states that it cannot be opened.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JinxDroid:
I believe you have to use the sudo command to run it as superuser... I really dont know much about linux but I did have to create a Ubuntu boot CD to unbrick mine after trying to unlock in Windows.

I had assumed that improper HTC drivers were my problem in Windows but after unbricking I tried the use FeedPanda under linux and got bricked again. After 20+ power pushes and bamboo finding I decided having S-off wasn't that important to me lol.

Good luck.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MARIO SHARK:
Got it thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tybo31316:
Im having the same issues as the users in the thread the only way to unbrick the phone is LINUX?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rcbarr:
Mario for everyone else here (1) a brief on how you bricked and (2) how you unbricked would be good to have.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kaos420:
linux is easy. i installed ubuntu on my laptop and dual boot. after some googling figured out how to enable root login. i went that route. then terminal is already su.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MARIO SHARK:
i installed ubuntu on my laptop. i then used the unbrick tool. pretty simple :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tybo31316:
i have ubuntu installed on my pc and im at the terminal having problems naviagation directories so that i can unbrick my phone. how do i navigate dirs?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JinxDroid:
just like you do in dos... cd <directory name> but instead of dir to view directory contents you use ls

---------- Post added at 03:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:45 AM ----------

I dont know if this will help anyone but I hope it does.

I bricked my phone FOUR times - twice in windows and twice in ubuntu (boot cd) and had to run the unbricker four times.

Finally I tried running FeedPanda again in Ubuntu but this time I changed out my regular 16 gig SD card for the old 8 gig from my OG Evo. I actually got past the "waiting for device" however I did get stuck after "device will reboot if panda is still hungry". I thought that I was bricked again and waited for about 300 seconds.

Then I held power + volume down for 30 seconds (while feedpanda was still running) and my phone rebooted. Feedpanda saw it and resumed where it left off. I am finally S-off.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tybo31316:
Ive done everything in the unbricking instructions and the terminal screen is stuck at Waiting device /dev/sdx12/............
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JinxDroid:
With your phone still plugged into the USB port - press your power button for 30 seconds and let it go... then unbricker should see it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tybo31316:
This happens towards the end when i put in all the commands in the terminal it just hangs at that point. I finally got it to this point today. i bricked it yesterday and i dont know if it even has battery life left. Starting to make me mad.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pre2epic4g:
flat out the instructions provided by the OP upon how to perform S-off need to be rewritten so as to make things perfectly clear. While is nice that people are helping in this thread... it would be nice if someone knowledgeable would rewrite the instructions upon how to unbrick.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MARIO SHARK:
ok I'll add instructions in the OP. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tybo31316:
well ive still been trying it keeps getting hang at waiting device. at this point im just going to do an insurance claim on it because theres no hope

I just seen this protector on CPN and the design is unique, piqued my interest. I haven't seen another like it. Anybody have it and if so, how is the fit and clarity? Does the colored areas match the phone nicely and blend it as it should does it stand out like a sore thumb?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Enzopreme:
I had one on my atrix 2, and while i liked it, I dont know how well it would fair against the bevelled edges of the screen, being that it is completely flat.... Anyone else who has one some input on this would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advance....

I usually can't stand most screen protectors especially anti-glare, but this new moshi ivisor ag on my galaxy 3 is incredible. Inside screen looks great and fool proof to put on take off and back on again!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cgardnervt:
I had one and I didnt like it. Install was easy and bubble free.

It was far to easy to get dust between the screen and the protector it self. Also had a hard time getting any case to work with it. Maybe it was just my bad luck? Then again maybe not.

Try it out! You may like it. I on the other hand didn't find it all that great. Way to pricey and the screen protector seemed to have collected dust and lint like crazy.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] the_buzz_man:
I bought one for the pebble blue, and really liked it. Did a great job of preventing fingerprints. Overall, it blended in very nice. Most people didnt even realize a SP was on it.

I ended up returning it and just getting a basic SP because I couldn't use it along with the TPU case I got. Because the iVisor goes all the way to the edges, when I put the case (Diztronic Matte Black) on, it would push the iVisor up. The case was more important to me, so I opted for the regular SP that doesn't go all the way to the edge. This will work until I get an Otterbox Defender.

If you don't use a case...the iVisor works very well.

the_buzz_man
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gadgetz:
Good to hear. Does the part covering the screen lay flat against the screen or is there a bit of room between them? The way I imagine you'd be able to tell is when you press on the screen to type or swipe, you'd see some movement in the protector possibly causing a slight degredation of the display.

That goes with any protector, as far as getting dust trapped. That's more of an issue with your environment and your prep work than the protector itself. What case were you trying to use with it? Yeah, it's very pricey but worth it if it can be reused, as user friendly as claimed and doesn't degrade the display much like most AG protectors do. I like that it covers the whole screen but doesn't present the danger of installing a wet application protector....nor the downtime that goes along with those.

Yeah, those TPU's fit very tight so I could see how that would be a problem with this protector. I use a Incipio Silicrylic so hopefully I'll be fine cause I stopped by the AT&T store today and picked one up! Gonna install it later on and see how I like it, will post a review as well.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] johnnilsson:
I love mine I got the white one eventhough I have the pebble blue phone. I think the contrast looks nice even where the menu buttons appear. It was hard to find a case that fits right with this protector but this speck case goes great with it. Please ignore the bad photos can't find my nexus or camera so found a thundebolt laying around to take pics. For a 35 dollar case it scratches easily but still looks and feels great and provides reliable protection
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gadgetz:
Looks good...I hope the Seidio Surface fares better than your Speck
