Sorry to say that the placeholder may stay as a place holder. Epic is a slider and it took a while to get cases for the moment. USB and HDMI cables are the same between EVO and Epic. There usually isn't a lot of accessories for Samsung smartphones.
[Epic 4G Accessories] rufflez2010:
HDMI cable is different as the Samsung connects through microUSB instead of microHDMI. Ill probably post a how-to on Lego dock building.

hello, a bad luck today... someone stole my phone. what can i do?

i have no myphone service installed,

i have locked my SIM card

i told that to the police, they will look for it through IMEI.

is it possible to change IMEI (i hope no)? i have flashed my phone with energy rom. is the IMEI the same?

thanks for every answer, lets fight against thieves!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsydian:
In the UK service provides (i.e. Orange, T Mobile) will block/blacklist your IMEI once reported stolen, so unless they are experienced they probably won't know how to change the IMEI, it can be done but its highly illegal.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister B:
Had my phone stolen a few months ago, it's a pain but you do learn from the experience & backup data/PIM more regulary & review security issues more vigantly.

Your IMEI will be unchanged as flashing a ROM will not change this.

If you had email accounts setup you should change passwords so they can not access your accounts via the phone.

You have done all you can do really, chances are slim on recovery.

Good luck & I hope you have a backup PIM data ect or a full image backup making it easy to setup a new device & move on from this event.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misko903:
i have my phone backed up. that is the good thing. the good thing is also that IMEI is hard to change. in the moment when the thief will insert the SIM, the police will be informed. the bad thing is, that the thief is looking for charger probably...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
I suggest on your next phone installing either 'Where Is My Phone', or 'Don't Steal My Phone', as these programs will initiate a hard reset on your device with a simple SMS code and will also send you the GPS coordinates through SMS.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister B:
Mmm sms to trigger reset is bloody useless as in most cases they will turn device off & throw sim away faster than you can borrow a phone and send the message. sending GPS data could be useful.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
Not in my case. :D

Remember, thieves aren't that smart.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister B:
they are quite smart here in Bangkok, my phone was off in less than 10 minutes after taken, My network monitored number & it was never connected/used & IMEI has not been picked up on any networks yet.

Here they all get resold via phone shops who give them a makeover cosmetically & digitally, IMEI mods are easily done here too.

They are smarter than you think, best defence is making sure you have password function active & any personal data encrypted plus software as mentioned in thread #5

Personally I would favour a battery modded with semtex & a det triggered via sms :-D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
Yes, yours is a different culture.

I still say thieves are stupid by default... but its a pointless conversation

Holsters Carrying Case

Just ordered my Vibrant today. Getting it on tomorrow. Wirefly currently has a deal for FREE next day shipping and you get the phone for $99.99. I bought two with no taxes. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

but to the point. I am on my journey to find accessories now. Read all the threads about all the cases, might just want to wait for some good Vibrant cases to come out instead of squeezing in i9000 cases, though in the threads, they seem to fit perfectly.

I want more protection from the war scars that happen in my pockets, so I am going to try to find a good Holster for my Vibrant.

After looking through 1200+ products. Here's what I find on eBay.

Connect the USB-Host "dongle" to your Milestone prior to see the Motorola bootscreen, then disconnect it and use a USB OTG cable to connect every device you want to your Milestone.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sauvagii:
Hi all.

I have used a hosted exchange account for many years, and had it sync with my mobile (X1) without problem for a long time.

Over the past few months I've used one of the EnergyROMs, but have used other ROMs in the past too.

I recently moved hosted exchange providers, and everything was working fine for a few days.

But I noticed a new ROM build so I decided to upgrade.

Ever since, my Exchange doesn't sync properly. I can usually get it to sync on initial setup, but immediately after that, the connection seems to close and no emails ever get synced to the phone.

Going into the Microsoft Direct Push settings on the Comm Manager, the exchange status now sits permanently at "Synchronized: None", and the sync icon is greyed out. I never get an error message of any sort.

It's the latest July 10 ROM, but I've also tried other ROMs (the GTX, the MaxSense ones, and others), but no matter what I do it doesn't sync again.

I've successfully used exchange for years, but I'm wondering if there's a setting somewhere in one of the new ROMs that I'm just not finding when I set up the account and I'm missing something somewhere along the line?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My provider btw, is Vodafone (UK) and I've been through the automated setups etc.

[EVO 4G General] g12345:
Long time lurker here, have not posted in a while. Anyway I have had WiMax issues since upgrading to the rooted OTA update. I finally got it to connect by flashing the latest Damage Control ROM, deleting the XML file and updating profile. I am able to connect to 4g at my house in northern Denver which is very cool, looks like they are brining new repeaters up every day around here.

My issue lies now when I turn off 4g. It looks like it never really turns off. It says it is, but I get horrible battery drain. When I look in the logcat, I get this message spammed every second or so:

E/Wimax ( 703): <DC CONNECT> IO error: msg=127.0.0.1:7771 - Connection refused

If I reboot the phone, the error goes away, 4G is off, and I get normal battery drain. I have seen others having this issue but have not seen any sort of resolution. Anyone have any insight into this issue? It is pretty annoying to have to reboot my phone every time I want to check 4G...

Oh and also I never had any issues with the MAC address being wrong, it has always matched what it should so that is not the issue.

Flashing a ROM does not change the IMEI.

I pray the police will catch up with the thief very soon. They have done so before.
[General Topics] maxpower097:
File a report with the coppers so the SN or IME will go out on the stolen property lists to the pawn shops. Then you and your friends need to check craigslist hourly looking for your phone. Have one of your friends go meet him and check the phone. Also run a local search by zip code for your phone in ebay. If any come up that look suspicious like yours contact ebay with your concerns. They will make him provide a serial number or ime for the phone or they will freeze their account. While ebay may not be able to get your phone back, they can sure as hell freeze his account and make his life a living hell. Happened to a friend. He bought a warehouse a couple years back and in the attic there were about 25 SIP phones. He sold them all for like $50-$100. After selling them all ebay emailed him asking for receipts for hte phones. Since he found them in the building he just bought he didn't have them. They froze $700 in his paypal account for 6 months then released it.

I don't know if you have already resolved this issue or not but the same thing happened to me.

Turn off your phone. Plug it into the computer. Open your command promt. Navigate into your tools directory of the android SDK. Enter either adb "command it tells you to enter," or ./adb "command it tells you to enter." Now boot into the recovery and try your Nand restore again. It should work. That's all I did to fix the problem. Lemme know.

The way I see it,

If you want instantly updates of Android builds, go for the N1

If you want a super phone (better than the N1) go for the Galaxy S.

At least Samsung this time promised to update the Galaxy line to Froyo this year. Seems Droid X and Galaxy S both have the same grade CPU and memory so the main different to me at the moment is tjr screen. The Super AMOLED looks stunning, however the 4.3 inch Droid X is also great.

I'm in Asia so currently I only have Galaxy S to choose.

Although there are others say the support of Samsung are bad....

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikulec:
Hi everybody, I just recently found out that all froyo rom ports are giving me only 2MB/s copying speeds on my class6 sd card. The only exception is DJ DROID rom (and roms based on this rom) on which I was able to copy files with a speed of 10MB/s.

I would like to ask some dev if they know the culprit to this.

It would be good if you guys can give me your speeds, and give me this infos to see if its only me or a general behavior:

Conditions of the test: connect your Desire to the PC (the best would be with a windows OS) via USB cable (select USB mass storage) and copy 1 large file (more then 100MB, for example 700MB .avi file) from your PC to root of the SDcard and post here the results:

- speed of the copying process

- class of sd card

- rom u are using

- size of the copied file

- OS of the PC

For measuring the speed u can use Total Commander.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Conclusion:

So looks like I was right, on all froyo roms (except dj droid, which is sense rom) the USB mass storage is somehow crippled.

It would be great if some dev could look at the issue and try to find out why is it not working like it should.

Anybody willing to do it?

Please re-run the tests according to the given conditions and edit your posts, thanks.

This benchmark topic is a good idea, but imho it lacks a modus operandi.

Depending on OS's, buffering may or may not occur, transfer rates may be average rates or not...

Are we talking about Read/write on the phone ? Between a computer and the phone plugged in as mass storage ? May both differ ?

I get around 2mbs if i'm writing in mass storage mode from a computer. I also get 2mbs if i'm uploading to the phone using switfp server on the phone and filezilla client on the computer side (over my LAN wifi)
