THIS. Sorry if this comes off as rude but seriously, it's getting tiring hearing people try to say this phone sucks and rubbing it in EVO owners' faces. It's a great phone even despite its downfalls. There are plenty of us who don't have all of the glaring problems. If you want a Galaxy S or a Droid X or a Droid 2 or a Droid Incredible then stop wasting your own time visitng the EVO forum and return your phone already. I swear, it's like people need to justify the fact that they bought something that they ultimately ended up not liking.

Point blank: If you don't like the phone and you want to return it, then DO it, instead of declaring it in every post and trying to rain on satisfied customers' parade.

As to the actual topic:

I'll try this in a second. I wasn't really having much lag or scrolling issues in the first place though. I think some EVOs are just defective.

I do have a question though: Did anyone notice that the amount of touch/scrolling lag seems to depend on the app that you're using? For example when I scroll in the app menu, it lags quite a bit before it starts scrolling. But in Handcent and Touiteur, I barely have any lag at all. The scrolling is also smoother in those apps as opposed to, say, the Engadget app which has some highly noticeable jerkiness to the text when you scroll really slow.

Is this an issue that the developers of the app control?

Edit: I did notice that things were a wee bit snappier accross the board but scrolling still seems about the same for me.
[EVO 4G General] TooSlo:
I'm of the belief that people come to these forums because they do have an attachment to the EVO, and while they are upset about something, they are looking for reasons to keep the phone.

They want convincing evidence that they were correct in making the decision to purchase the EVO.
[EVO 4G General] Negrito:

Only thing it has is its internal storage which means nothing to me, I have 2 16GB, and 3 or 4 8GB cards. Space is erroneous in this day and age. Oh, and the Super AMOLED screen. That i have no argument for, even though its the same resolution, but .3" smaller.... And no word on a Froyo update for it yet. Awesome!

So yeah... I feel like you're kidding yourself.

As for lag, I have none. However, my phone wasnt stock for very long. I have removed Rosie, and all the Sprint apps. I use LauncherPro Beta for my home replacement. I have OC Widget set to underclock when the screen is off, and have AutoKiller running at 'Extreme' (I think since we have so much ram the lesser presets dont really do much). Also with my setup Im sure i could go at least 12 hours off the charger with moderate to heavy use.

All you guys who say your Evo has no lag: I have a friend who also has and Evo and swears there is no touch/scroll lag on it at all... I checked it out, it's 100% there. Later that day, I played around with his MacBook Pro - same thing. The mouse is lagging 0.1-0.2 seconds behind my movement... I guess his claim of "no lag at all" was simply because he's used to it on his computer :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] Negrito:
His Macbook Pro lags? One, i doubt that, and two are you saying that those of us "claiming" not to have lag are just making it up? Because my Evo runs flawless. I know there are better setups than mine, even an overclocked one, but I like how my phone is and truthfully there is NO lag. Not when scrolling, nor on the keyboard (which is where i usually noticed lag on my Hero, even when it was overclocked).

I'm running froyo v8 and there is no lag.
[EVO 4G General] k2snowboards88:
You are forgetting the hummingbird processor which is more powerful than the snapdragon in the evo. Internal storage is important when the memory card is under the battery. As you said, the screen is better than the evo's 65k color screen. It also doesn't have the 30fps limit "feature". You are fooling yourself if you don't think the galaxy s is at least a competitive phone, if not better.
[EVO 4G General] frifox:
Yes, his MacBook Pro lags, but only the mouse tracking, not the whole system... tho I ended up fixing it by installing appropriate drivers and now mouse is as snappy as any other Windows based computer. now he DOES see the difference :P

No, I'm not saying that all make up those claims, not at all... just saying not all those "claims" are true, as was the case with my friend's Evo.
[EVO 4G General] Negrito:
Weird, I thought 1ghz, and 1ghz were the same regardless of the maker... And i said storage is erroneous to ME. Also, if i need sixty billion colors i'll watch a blu ray on my HDTV.... not while trying to browse the web on a 4 inch display.... Also i never said it wouldnt be a competitor...

Quick question where can i check out one of these Galaxy phones? Thats right there not available. So until they come out and everyone has had a chance to play with it and find its flaws, just like the Evo and every other electronic device trying to live up to its own hype, then we shall see who is competing with who. :)

EDIT: Also if we are just comparing specs, then why not throw the HD2 in the ring? Should that be a competitor too?

Ahh ok. I was going to say... My Blackbook is over two years old and still runs like a beast, but that could be the 4GB of RAM and the 7200rpm HD. :p

For the record though, mine arent claims, and i seriously believe that if Sprint didnt load all those crappy apps, and HTC would optimize Sense no one would have lag. With out the Sprint apps or Sense UI how could this phone not be blazing fast. I cant wait to play with a fully functional Froyo ROM. The improvements should yield a user noticeable difference.
[EVO 4G General] daneurysm:
I didn't think I had this "lag" either until I change my reference scale.

To most people, lay-people especially, there is no perceptible lag. These people would also be hard-pressed to have ever noticed the lack of fluidity due to being locked at 30fps.

To twitch response gamers, digital media producers etc there is definitely some noticeable lag. I think it's in the 50-100ms range, give or take 50ms. Which is a tenth to a twentieth of a second...give or take...that's barely perceptible to most. But it is there. It has not hindered my enjoyment of the device one bit, but after I went to look, it was most certainly there.

You can't just tap the screen and drag and have the screen respond absolutely instantly (or what seems to be absolutely instantly--this is digital equipment, there is no such thing as 'absolutely instant', just 'imperceptibly latent').

So what range are we looking for? As a musician and producer who frequently works in the realm of latency, 5-10ms oughta do the trick. 20ms would probably be better than it is now, but that's the upper limits.

I'd prefer the 30fps cap was lifted first, but, that's just me.
[EVO 4G General] frifox:
I work with Ableton all the time and anything above 40ms is a pain-in-the-vuvuzela. For me, as a musician AND a gamer, this lag is a nightmare. :eek:
[EVO 4G General] Freelancerx:
you know what you could do OP? return your evo...your 30 days are not up lol your parents can keep their family plan if your a new customer that is...

if your not a new customer guess what buddy? you can still return your phone oh man how about that?! isnt it a crazy world we live in? check it out bro:

so you know just run to mommy and daddy and tell them hey mom, dad thanks for buying me this phone but its a P.O.S and im going to return it...its that simple... it really is... go get your own contract with at&t and get an iphone....or as im sure you probably want your parents to keep paying your phone bill for you then just get another sprint phone...pretty easy bro
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] guychriqui:
I am trying to figure out how to change the icons for phone, messages, twitter, and browser into words. How would I go about doing this? I'm sure it's possible, I'm just new to android.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] okolowicz:
There is an app in the marketplace called NinjaMorph that will do it from the phone. Alternatively, you'd have to pull a copy of the app from your phone to your PC, replace the icon, and push it back to your phone via adb.

NinjaMorph is the best approach, however, I've encountered instances/apps where NinjaMorph just doesn't work. For those I went with the second option above.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Kshawn:
On top of that you would need to create your own "word" icons in a editing program assuming you haven't already found an icon pack.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
FolderOrganizer is what you're looking for. It will place instances of itself in the shortcuts menu and from there you can rename, change icons, etc., etc. I currently have over 20,000 png icons that I have collected for ObjectDock and all I do is resize the ones I want to 48x48 and copy them over to a directory I call Iconz on the SD card and I can use them whenever I go to change an icon. :)

Cheers...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] phlyphish:
Just to clarify... I also use Folder Organizer, but that doesn't change the default icon for the app, just the ones that show on the home screen.

If that's all you need, then Folder Organizer is great, but I came to this thread looking for a way to change the default app icons so I just wanted to clarify that point about Folder Organizer.

Think I'll take a stab at NinjaMorph. Thanks okolowicz!
[HD2 General] amkothaw:
Hey guys,

I don't know if this has been tried or thought of. My mouse just died, and am waiting for it to charge, and I thought, hmm, it would be great if I could use my HD2 touch screen as a giant trackpad for my PC. The idea would be that you connect your HD2 to the computer via bluetooth or usb, and then launch this trackpad app which would really just give you a screen like what I have attached and then you have a trackpad! I know the app will be pretty useless for most cases, but it could be a cool replacement for some people.

Just a thought...
[HD2 General] watcher64:
program called gremote lets you do just that . ....
[HD2 General] amkothaw:
Awesome! Thanks for the info
[HD2 General] watcher64:
No problem, Gremote , there is a older free version, works over wifi, and bluetooth, very nice fun to play with ...

It really does work nice ...

Be sure to google it and find the home page, there are some cabs floating around but they only have the phone part not the part that needs to run on the PC ...
[HD2 General] pakure:
wifii?? are u sure?,................i thought it only works by bluetooth
[HD2 General] crispy514:
Nope I have the older free version and it uses wifi.. You have to install a client on the PC.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xbeamelite:
Hi,

I have been considering buying the N1 for quite some time now. If I wait until the Froyo release will Google sell the phone with 2.2 immediately? Or is there no point in waiting and just pull the trigger now :)?

Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohandhruva:
There is no guarantee that new Nexus One's will be sold with 2.2 once it's released. It makes no sense to delay buying it - even if you buy it now, you will receive the update over-the-air.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xbeamelite:

(1) Flash your ROM again to restore your native BT.

(2) Before installing TT, open the CAB and remove the BT module.

[Android Apps and Games] rogershroed1991:
I saw a couple of apps awhile ago where you could tag your location (the gps would look up where you are) on a map, and then keep a record of those places. So if you go to somewhere cool but you don't know the address, you could mark it on the map and you'd be able to navigate to it later. Does anyone know the name of this app? I can't seem to find it now.
[Android Apps and Games] marvin02:
I know that the combination of Compass and 3Banana notes will let you keep geo-tagged notes. Can't you save locations as Google Maps favorites in later versions of Android?
[Android Apps and Games] cmstlist:
The quickest is to open Maps, and when it locates you tap the little My Location dot or arrow. Tap the bubble that pops up. On the next screen tap the star. Now it's been added to the Starred Items on your Google account.

You can also from the same screen press "Share" and send the link to Gmail, 3banana, Twitter, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] britoso:
+1 wanted to post the same. Theres also a widget that displays your lat/long/addr with the ability to share it
[Android Apps and Games] nuumuun:
you could also use the GPS Status app. you can mark locations, share them and let it show on the map. also, it's free on the market :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] rogershroed1991:
Thanks for the GPS Status link.

And thanks for the tips on Google Maps, I didn't know you could do it straight from there! The only problem is I don't see a way to name your starred places, so you just have a list with a bunch of addresses and you might not remember what's what.

yeah this is cool.... but from a security standpoint, this is definitely opening up our phones to a greater possibility of worm annihilation... as these clouds develop more and more, there is also going to be a need for more and more security.

Is there anyway to stream local media (video/music/images) from your home pc to the HD2 when both of them are connected on the same network?

My N82 and N97 did that flawlessly, (by media server), was wondering if I can do something similar via Tversity installed on my pc.

Thanks.

:confused:

I'm not aware of a DLNA client for windows mobile, but TVersity comes with a web interface. Why not just use that?

[HD2 General] cu2cool:
I am also interested in this feature. I don't understand why Windows mobile doesn't have some sort of media sharing or media extender feature natively. I would like to be able to connect to my wireless network, turn on file sharing, and play a media file on my TV via my Xbox. I know that the HD2 does not have a video output method (such as the Nokia's, Incredible, Evo, etc), so I would hope to at least be able to make up for it wirelessly.
[HD2 General] smeddy:
I was doing this exactly last year with my HD1, using the Network Plugin + CorePlayer/TCMCP so it is possible.

Just browse your network on your HD, find the file, and click Play.

For people who also have a Home Theartre set-up powered by a PC, check out GRemote as a great program to browse files on your HD2 and then launch them/control playback on your TV.

hi guys. ive been thru every post in darch latest and previous threads, and no real confirmation as to what my problem is. i promise you tho, if someone has suggested it in those threads, i have tried it. from rebooting at the end of a full charge to recalibrating my battery. nothing is helping, and while it wasnt an isse before, tomaro i am going to soaring eagle (casino) and desperatly need the fix[xxx]

in darch previous build, he posted a vattery fix that blew mymind. i didnt think it was physically possible to get that many hours out of such heavy usage, but whatever he did, it worked. i was hoping someone can really help me out on this one...do you think someone could take a look at what his fixxxxxxxxxxxxx consisted of, and encorporate it into this current build? i would appreciate it so much, if i hit the big numbers tomaro, i will gladly paypal you any number of money in return!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevinXtreme:
Like you've been told in the main thread, all of those battery fix/x/x/xes have been incorporated into the current build already. Because you are the only person experiencing these issues (As far as I can tell) then it comes down to something that you're doing.

Go to Settings -> Spare Parts -> Battery History and then change the top drop down menu to "Partial wake usage" and post if any of the bars are full.

Also, did you flash after a total wipe, or did you flash over 2.6.5?

Do you overclock or use Autokiller?

What apps and widgets do you use? (List them ALL)

I have plenty of apps and several widgets on my phone and I'm still pulling at least ~25 hours of heavy use. I sent ~300 texts, did some web surfing, and made three phone calls (well, five... but three of length) and I'm sitting easy at 57% after a good 16 hours.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hostileenviroment:
like it took me 100 times to get an answer to, theres no way that battery fix is in this current build. i went through 2 whole days with those fixxes, and mt battery life does not compare. and if darch tried to encorporate it, he broke it whille fixing gps or mms. its not working for me, im not a noob, i know how to flash and follow proper troubleshooting procedures.

i dont mess with overclock, i leave it set at 710. i wont report my location to an app that doesnt require it to function, so no autokiller

the only apps im using are launcherpro and fancy widget

What is your signal strength on darchdroid? THAT is a problem that a lot of people are having. Bad signal strength = bad battery life. (Also, I want dBm, not bars)

I still think blaming darch for this when you are [now] one of two people with this problem is a little... absurd. There are tons of people running this ROM.

I'm having pretty crappy battery life too. My phone seems to sleep fine and doesn't drain when not in use. Nothing bizarre in spare parts. It's when I'm using it that it the the battery seems to abnormally plunge.

No autokiller or similar apps.
