Recalls do not make a car "the worst hybrid in any class." Recalls are a problem, but I have never heard of any significant issues with the Camry hybrid, recalls or otherwise. If you want to make that claim about the Camry hybrid, you also have to realize that there are not too many Camry hybrids on the road anyway. If Apple marketing can sell 10 million iPhone in a couple of weeks, than certainly Camry hybrid marketing should be able to move a proportionally similar number of cars in the same time frame. That's not happening. If you want to talk about the Prius though, those cars virtually sell themselves, because after about 11 years, they have solidified their products with their customers. Same for Apple.

As far as the Evo, I could get 10 to 14 hours if I had the phone rooted, s-off, custom kernel, undervolted, and debloated. And only if I was light on the usage. The iPhone at the time could run circles around it regarding battery life, bone stock. It was also much smoother and felt much faster. While I liked that phone a lot and it was probably the best Android device at the time, I have to admit that Apple had a better product overall.

Look, my point is simple: Android came into it's own when Google released ICS and when manufacturers started creating phones that ran very well out of the box. If we pay a premium price for a premium product, we should not be expected to do any tinkering whatsoever, It should be as perfect as possible out of the box. Up until the Galaxy S3 (possibly the S2), there was really not any Android product that could match the user experience offered by Apple. My S4 is stock rooted. I have not tried to modify the system in any way, did no debloating, no custom recoveries, nothing. I don't want to mess with it and I don't need to mess with it. Despite me certainly not being a stranger to modifying Android, I don't have the time, the energy, or the desire to deal with it. I want a phone that works out of the box, with nothing more than personalization on my part. For years, only Apple offered something like that. That's why they became as successful as they are, and again, sorry, but marketing did not have nearly as much to do with it as you say. Want to see a garbage product that failed miserably despite a solid marketing push, look no further than the Palm Pre and other WebOS devices. Marketing does not save a bad product.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eskomo:
The Toyota Camry hybrid is not plagued by recalls. That's not why its the worst hybrid. And I'm not saying this as an opinion. Its a rating given by the industry. The cost ratio over the nonhybrid vs fuel savings vs mpg is the most out of wack of any car. 2nd on the list is the Honda civic hybrid. 3rd and 4th are GMC Denalli and Cadillac Escalade.

The recall comment was about Toyota as the most recalled car company. Not the hybrid Camry.

My evo didn't need under volting and all that. Just needed to condition the battery. There was a problem with the phone reading the batteries state correctly and stopping the charging. To fix this you charge the phone to full. The turn phone off and charge to full again. Then turn phone on and charge to full again. And turn off again and charge to full. Do this every couple of days to start and then once a few weeks after and it lasts much longer. That came directly from HTC. My evo was rooted and stock for most of its life. Some bloat removed and used moderate to heavy daily. Never had to charge it before leaving work.

I have to disagree with your assessment with apple man. It sounds more like fanboyism than anything. Marketing most certainly does drive the industry. Most people have no idea why one thing is better or worse than the next. Its why marketing is SO powerful.

I'd say we can just agree to disagre about apple. I don't think they are innovative and haven't been. And I don't think they have lead anything except a marketing campaign.

I personally think that all these patent wars are silly and are holding innovation back.

If we had the same silly patent wars back in the late 1800s early 1900s we all would be driving Buckeye gasoline buggys that would most likely look like **** because there wouldn't be any competition and zero innovation.

yes, Apple created the iphone, touch screen phone that changed our lives, cool.

What is the rest of the world suppose to do? stand still for 400 years to make a similar device when apple has virtual phones and no one wants a touch screen?

Android phone makers stole everything from apple to make their own phone to compete with them, who cares? now that apple is going to do what Samsung did with the eye tracking android fans will *REALLY APPLE? REALLY* all day crying? really?

come on..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eskomo:
You are just trolling. Apple didn't invent the touch screen or any of that. Android didn't steal any thing from apple. Samsung and HTC might infringe on patents.... But not android. Either way stop trolling.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sputnik767:
The Evo battery conditioning thing was well known to me back then. It also did absolutely nothing for me. I did get slightly better battery life out of an aftermarket battery, but that was because that battery was slightly larger capacity. But in the end, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on Apple. But even though Apple may not have invented the touch screen, I can't recall any product before the iPhone which had a capacitive, multitouch display, gestures such as pinch-to-zoom, onscreen keyboard, and an app catalog with a simple way to install apps. Please correct me if I am wrong. But if I am right, then that's Apple's innovation. Sure, somebody eventually would have figured it out (Android has been in development since around 2005), but as far as I know, Apple was first. Same can be said for the iPad, iPod, etc. No, Apple did not invent the MP3 player or tablet computer, but they did invent the first truly useful and successful product in both categories. Innovation is not necessarily the invention of a brand new product that never existed, as is the case with Google Glass for example. Innovation is also the development of a novel product within an established category, which does something that was not done before. This would be the Galaxy S4, which has features that are not found in any other smartphone. As I said, I had smartphones that predated the iPhone. Yet I will never even attempt to compare my old Motorola Q or even the Palm Treo with the iPhone. There is simply no comparison. If you want to relate it to the hybrid car example, look no further than the Prius. Yes, the Prius is a car, with 4 wheels, 4 doors, and a drivetrain. But what separates it from the rest of the pack is that it was the first truly viable and commercially successful gas-electric hybrid passenger car, and is arguably unmatched to this day. Obviously cars were around since well before the Prius, just as smartphones were around since before the iPhone. But both companies' innovation lies in the fact that they were able to develop a novel idea in an already established product category.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eskomo:
Stealing a patent is one thing... But patenting something after its already been put out there by someone else is different. That IS what apple has done in the past.

And android hasn't stolen anything from apple. HTC and Samsung may have. But that's still yet to be seen. Courts are still deciding.

And the eye tracking patent by apple is different from Samsung's. Both have patents.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eskomo:
How what?

My comment to that post would be this...

I don't see endless possibilities ending anytime soon. We need there to be more competition. That's what drives innovation. Its what makes better end products for us.

Patents for general ideas needs to stop. Broad sweeping patents are killing the phone technology world. Apple is bad for this. But apple knows how to play the system now and that's going to be hard to fix unless the courts come down hard on these on going cases.

So, I have been messing around. And I have come to find that the stock Camera.apk and CameraFirmware.apk from the SGS4G on froyo 2.2.1 are mostly compatible with the Sidekick 4G. In fact the camera looks better, and we could possibly port the zoom features somhow 0.0 so I have been trying to figure out how I can get started with this "idea". It would be awesome, there are a couple bugs so far.

Bugs:

-No zoom (yet)

-No highest res in Video Recorder

-Some resolutions have no review screen

-front camera is flipped 90 degrees cc ( I wanna work on this first really, if I can get some help starting it)

Just looking for stuff to do with my limited current knowledge.

(Sorry, still new to informative posting -_-)

I just linked some shots

Here is plain camera view, you can pinch and see the zoom box but the image doesn't change

--> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/83829634/Android/Screenshots/device-2013-06-15-114243.png

Here is the flipped-sideways front facing shot --> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/83829634/Android/Screenshots/device-2013-06-15-114814.png

And last, here is the said apks:

Camera.apk --> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/83829634/Android/CameraApks/Camera.apk

CameraFirmware.apk --> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/83829634/Android/CameraApks/CameraFirmware.apk
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ged92781:
That would be nice to have if it works better. The camera is one of the weakest links on this device I think.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
I know little to nothing about the cameras hardware or software, you may just need to match the libs but you also may need to rewrite drivers, that part is hard.

Keep us posted, very interesting!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] graycow9:
It would be awesome to finally have a camera with zoom is what I have been thinking. I'm not very good when it comes to code, I've still been taking courses and practicing here and there. But as far as testing it out, I can practice on my own device and let you know if I figure some things out.

Maybe another thread somewhere has the information I need to get started. Flipping the screen should probably be easy. (Hopefully heh)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] graycow9:
Update

Haven't found anything too helpful as for the screen flip. Maybe I am looking in all of the wrong places? Tried Google-- got nothing, and maybe the forums use a certain term or something.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ivoe:
Maybe try to change picture size instead of screen flipin as the only big issue would be on screen buttons but should still work ?

If you still look for screen flip its basically the same screen same size an everything so instead of looking to flip change the location of them?

Sorry going off the few post with no pics or video of it
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] graycow9:
Sorry about that, I'll see if I can grab up a screenshot when I get home tonight.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] kelltech:
Ha! And here I've been thinking this is a good camera that takes pretty dang good photos! I also thought it did zoom but mine was broken :eek:
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ged92781:
It's not the worst camera out there. I do wish they had included a flash though. The Sidekick LX 2009 (last Danger HiptopOS version) had a flash.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] theUsualSuspexx:
Just out of curiosity did they kinda downgrade i guess world be the word the sk camera. I notice in alot of aftermarket camera apps it registers as being 4.9mp like the sgs

A bit of the black part of the antenna that is circled in the picture kind of broke off when i was disassembling my phone. I think this is the thing that controls your phone signal. If it is, does anyone know if this will stop my signal completely and mean I have to buy a new antenna? I have no way of checking because I broke the cable connecting the antenna to the main board (don't ask) and the replacement doesn't arrive for a while. (The picture attached isn't the picture of my exact phone. It's from google images. But its the same model) The other 4 thingies are still in tact but the thing circled is broken off.

Unfortunately, waht exad said. Stuff like that is so unpredictable. Keep in mind that pretty much EVERYTHING on modern phones is tiny. There are entire chips and resistor packs that would be described as miniscule, but are critical.

If you have it apart already, and can find a replacement part and it's easy enough to replace, I'd hedge my bets and just replace it while I'm in there rather than putting it back together and learning the hard way that you have to go through it all again.

Hello,

As the title mentions my phone is stuck at the logo screen (the one that says Samsung). Because of this I'm pretty sure it soft bricked (caused by me playing with link2sd) and thus will need a fix. The phone is a Australian Virgin Phone 4G Samsung galaxy s3 and so I tired using Odin and a 4.1.1 Optus MD5 to restore it. However, this has not worked and so I will be needing any other advice or ideas you have.

Please note: I can get into Download mode and recovery mode easily and when I do go into recovery mode it says failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)

Hi,

You all have seen topics about screens not correctly aligned with speaker grills. My issue is a bit different. The top speaker grill seems to be curved (the middle of the grill is lower (like 0.5-1mm) than the left and right border).

In fact, in the corners, the screen is flush with the grill but not in the middle, the screen is a (very) little bit higher than the speaker grill but I feel it when I swipe down notification and it bother me. I realy don't want to return this phone because everything else is perfect so here is my question :

Do you have any clue on how to give a "flat" style to the grill without damaging the screen/speaker/front camera... ?

Thank you in advance.

it says i have to be rooted to install the recovery?

is there an easy way to root?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
You need an unlocked bootloader to install recovery, not root.

As per AT&T, HTC blocks bootloader unlocks for AT&T customers. To do this, HTCDEV.com blocks any requests for bootloader unlocks which have an AT&T CID.

Because of this, for AT&T customers only, one must change their CID in order to trick HTCDEV.com into allowing a bootloader unlock.

To gain write access to the file that needs changing to spoof the CID, you need root access.

So what this means:

To flash recovery, you need bootloader unlocked, not root.

But because AT&T OneXLs needs to spoof the CID before unlocking the bootloader, they require root.

For AT&T > Root > SuperCID > Unlock bootloader > Flash twrp

For everyone else Skip right to > Unlock bootloader > Flash twrp

Because you do not have an AT&T phone, you will have no problems unlocking the bootloader to flash a custom recovery.

At first, things can be confusing because many posts don't really make a point of saying that those steps are only needed if you are with AT&T but when you read more than just one post, and make a point of trying to understand what you're doing, things become clearer.
