[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinydude100:
I know how you feel

Last night, I un-programmed my Epic as I'm no longer going to be with Virgin Mobile. I like starting from scratch, so I wiped everything, system, boot, etc. Basically bricked it on purpose so I can leave a clean FC19 Odin in place. I had the TOUGHEST time getting recognition, thank goodness the Tech in me knew how to keep calm.

It won't hurt to try so i suggest the following:

With an unused toothbrush:

Gently rub all your usb ports, then blow on it. Gently rub your Epic's micro-usb port, and blow on it.

Look at your cables. Choose the BEST one for the job, hence, the one you claim recognizes your wife/girlfriend's epic just fine, use that one.

Now.

On Windows, open Device Manager and pay CLOSE attention at what changes.

You should be reading Android Composite Device near where the USB Hubs are at in the categories. You should Also be seeing Samsung Modem in the Modems category.

To clear your epic from all unrecognized past activities:

Grab a bad cable on PURPOSE:

Connect it to each USB Hub on your desktop/laptop.

You should get "Unrecognized Device Popup"

Under Device Manager, in the USB Hubs, there should be a yellow question mark labeled: 'Unknown Device' or if it semi-read it; 'Android Composite Device' (With a question mark though)

Right click, uninstall.

Move on to the next hub, repeat the actions, locate it, then right-click, uninstall.

Once you've uninstalled "Unknown Device" from all USB Hubs.

Pull your Epic 4G's Battery, hit the power button on your epic to hard reset it, and also to drain the capacitors, any minimal static electricity will be exiting the unit at this point.

Put the battery back in, grab your girlfriend/wife's GOOD cable that worked for her, plug the pc side to your desktop/laptop, go into download mode on your epic,securely and in one swift motion without dabbling it around, securely insert the delicate micro-usb side to your epic.

At this point, your laptop/desktop should search windows update, then it'll search preconfigured folders for 'unidentified device' it should then correctly install Android Composite Device and Gadget Serial Control.

If it still comes back as unrecognized, don't be discouraged, try the next port.

You'll get through it. Despite the factors involved.

As for me, I spent 4 hours last night on a 10 minute job of odin and reprogramming, so good fight life. I went through all the factors and in my case, it boiled down to a bad cable. I used an HTC Evo 4G LTE data cable, that baby was thick and locked into my Epic securely, my laptop recognized right away and Odin fired up and made it all the way through. Good luck.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruedii:
I have had no problems myself. Of course I use Heimdal under Linux.

It sounds like there is no USB connection, or the computer can't recognize the device. It might not be Odin. Are you able to connect the the device under debug mode? If you can't, get it working in debug mode first. You may not have the USB drivers set up right.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerdtaco:
I just got a new blackberry for work and tried the cable that came with it. My computer recognized the device on the first try. Apparently I have 5 bad USB cords; 2 Samsung, 2 blackberry, and 1 HTC. Weird.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Thanks.

Let that be a lesson to all having trouble...when we suggest a heavy duty Blackberry cable, this is why.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gwell1:
Running ICS 4.0.3

For some reason, when I create a new contact and sync my contacts it doesn't show up when i log into my google voice account. BUT, when i create a new contact under my google voice account, on my pc, and sync on my phone, the contact shows up on my phone! I also noticed on my google voice account i have exactly 150 contacts. Which leads me to believe that google has a limit on the number of contacts you can sync from your android phone to your google account. Can someone shed some light on this?

Guys can anyone make a backup of the recovery of the original LG E405f serves until the E400f or E400 as a CWM tested for E400 on my E405.

Why did this:

Root first process is the same,

The hardware of the two is also the same so I tried.

My E405f is functioning normally.

However he lost the ability to reset, or passing the original rom solves, it seems that the original rom from LG does not contain recovery so I was no alternative means and I need to do a Factory Reset to pass the phone to my wife.

Can anyone help me?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] socah:
Try push volume up. For real ;)

What about volume settings? Have you checked it ? There is nothing more that I can tell you according to problem description. Check last installed apps that may have influence on settings or volume ...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgstcola:
It's turned down in the volumes setting so I just turn it up again. The problem is that I can't figure out why it's suddenly turned down. I think you're right though, it must be an app that does it.
[HTC Wildfire S] bainf:
I just wanted to be clear.

I cannot change default provider without buying an unlock code?

I have never had to buy a code before

I have rooted it and "unlocked" it (via htcdev.com) as the word "unlock" has two meanings

You see, I can buy about 10 of these for $85 each (going out of business this weekend) and wanted to be clear what my profits would be to make them network free

I have read this was not possible on other threads but that was before htcdev.com allowed unlocking of bootloader and wondered if that had made a difference

Cheers
[HTC Wildfire S] csoulr666:
Unlocking your bootloader doesn't remove the SIM-LOCK (see FAQ at HTCdev)...........so if your phone is branded,you won't be able to use any other sim unless the Sim-lock is removed.............instead of buying the codes for $85,buy an XTC-Clip it removes all restrictions from your phone
[HTC Wildfire S] bainf:
Thanks

Cheers, I just wanted to make sure I hadnt missed anything

BTW the phones were $85 each not the unlock code

It would take about ten phones to make the XTC worth my while considering the AU dollar

Checking it out as I type
[HTC Wildfire S] bainf:
Bought Unlock code

I took too long and didnt get those phones, just the one I tried to work out

I succumbed and bought an unlock code although I will say I got it for free as I purchased it through freeunlocks.com

The whole thing seems dodgy but it worked out

I bought 250 business cards for $15 from vista and then they sent me an unlock code after a few hours that worked instantly.

I was wanting to get those business cards from that site anyway that advertises on EBay so they seemed legit

If I went direct they were are "free'' and $9 delivery but I will say I was able to unlock it for free.

Wish I had whatever code generator they are using.

So I now have a totally unlocked wildfire s (the b model here in OZ) for $85 cool and $15 worth of business cards

Wish I had been more ballsy and spent $800. Could made some cash

However now that I upgraded to a Samsung galaxy s III both emulators don't seem to be working I already defined the bios and everything the games still don't seem to be working. What I get is just a black screen I was hoping to continue with the progress that I had made on my previous phone. I hope that somebody knows how to solve this issue I am still a little new with the phone and have been playing with it all week. If I have have to change the apps to other game boy emulators I will.

Technically this is the wrong section

They all work for me but sound is really buggy and slows down the games on all emulators :-(

Google'd it and found out if you're having my problem set game skip to 0 and it should fix it...

GBA.EMU https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.explusalpha.GbaEmu

Is the only one I've found that works without a hitch on my I9300

GBA.emu

Frame skip 0

sound 22KHz

Smooth sailing

Hope you figure out what's wrong with yours.

1) how do you send higher quality MMS? I've tried to send screenshots through MMS to friends but its very blurry.

2) is there a way to display each text individually in notification bar.

Eg: when you get one text it shows part of the message

When you receive two texts it just says "2 unread messages"

3) is there a lock screen that shows notifications similar to the iPhones lock screen

So I was told that the Verizon Wireless Casio G'z One Phone would work. I paid 70 bucks for it on Amazon and when I went to activate it, Verizon said it was not compatible. I just want to know if I can get around this anyway because one I was told it would work and two I am super rough on phones and need a strong durable one and prepaid doesnt offer any.

Thanks!
[General Topics] spunker88:
I'm assuming you bought the phone non subsidized, probably used at that price? Not sure how Verizon's prepaid plans work but you could look into Page Plus. They are a prepaid service that uses Verizon towers and they allow Verizon Android phones on their prepaid plans as long as the ESN is good.

I unlocked, rooted, and flashed the leaked 4.1 update a couple weeks ago. Now I'm getting the notification for the official OTA.

1. Is there any beneficial reason to update?

2. If not, how do I disable the notification from reappearing constantly?

3. If I do update, will I lose root? Will it wipe my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phazerorg:
1. Yes, the OTA update is for 4.1.1 which contains additional fixes, etc. over 4.1. See other threads in this forum for details on the exact differences/improvements.

2. n/a, update to 4.1.1.

3. You will lose root, but if you use CWM to flash the OTA manually just also flash SuperSU immediately after, before rebooting (this is what I do.. there are other "keep root" methods as well, as described in other threads). The OTA update will not wipe your phone.

Note that this assumes you're running the stock odexed and unmodified version from Google I/O. If you're using a modified version, you'll need to flash a factory image and update that. You'll also need to be running the correct radio. See other on-going threads in this forum for more details.

Hope this helps.

4.1 is not Jelly Bean, it's a preview build for developers that is was intended for everyday use. What do you hope to achieve by not updating?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YoungAceAtlanta:
The leak wasn't s finish build ... it was still buggy here and there ..

4.1.1 fixes some things, plus its a major release ...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] total360:
Simply put, update to 4.1.1 and then if your using a Windows PC, install the Toolkit in the Development forum, and then re-root using that, takes all of about 2 minutes.

How do I verify that I'm running 100% stock odexed, unmodified and stock radio, bootloader, kernel, boot, system, etc?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Paul22000:
If you look at the OP, I clearly asked if there was any beneficial reason to update. No one posted a single concrete reason to update aside from "it's official". If someone would have posted actual, real improvements that are in 4.1.1, obviously I would have taken that into consideration.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cilraaz:
Simple versioning says that a 4.1 to 4.1.1 update is an extremely minor update to start with. For the most part, it's just some extra polish and a few minor bug fixes. Some people report that it's essentially the same, while others report that 4.1.1 is a bit smoother than 4.1.

Thank you! I've Googled this many times but it's been extremely and surprisingly difficult to find out exactly what was changed.
