Anyone getting a bug where the last letter of all album names are cut off, whether in the stock music app or 3rd party (Mixzing in my case)?

Had the same problem. I had to transfer the modem file and csc file over in Odin to get the sim card recognised.

My personal experience -

Gps still no better at tracking in google navigation. Grrr.

Was laggy to start with, performance seems to improve over time.

Most apps work fine - exception being skies of glory. Bah.

No internet browser crashes.

Flash works fine.

Location can be obtained without gps. Not sure why not working for others.

Had a period of screen not responding, rebooted now fine.

3g/hsdpa signal much much better!

All in all good enough for day to day use for me. If this is there first attempt at 2.2 then are we in for a treat down the road when its optimized!

Do u remember when we were discussing this in some thread, that u have to still choose a calendar and there is no option to set the default one? It looks to me like Samsung is reading thi forum and taking some notes what to improve. LOL :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] appelflap:
I hope they do :D

BTW did you notice the song "flash flash" in the music folder on the sd card (contained in the csc file) :p Maybe Samsung is encouraging people to flash their firmware
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fntms:
I ended up going back to JM2+mimo (JP2 too slow, no asphalt for the girlfriend...no easy mounting / writing on SD card, battery quite bad etc...), would someone be kind enough to post touchwizcalendar.apk/touchwizcalendarprovider.apk from JP2 so that JM2 users can try and use the new "default" agenda selection? I really need all my meetings on exchange...local is totally useless to me. I tried the other forum fix (where you install google calendar) and ended up having to wipe and reinstall...(no obvious mistake on my side).

I had my eyes set on the HTC EVO for awhile now but just to be sure I got the right phone, I did a google search for upcoming sprint androind phones and it showed me the SAMSUNG EPIC and I was amazing. I always enjoy a physical keyboard because sometimes the touch was annoying on my HTC HERO.

I really have no idea which one to choose. I cannot find any specifications on the EPIC, even from the official website. I know its a 4G phone like the EVO. It also has a front camera for video calls. HD video recording. What I dont know is the megapixels of the camera, if it has a flash, if it is responsive when using the touch screen. I came from the HERO so the touch was a little laggy and annoying at times. This is where I wish i had an iPhone because their touch screen is VERY VERY responsive and feels very smooth. On the HERO it never really did. I never got to try out the EVO but I saw youtube videos with the EVO being laggy and not as responsive. Did anybody get to try out the EPIC?

If any of you can give me some links and let me know your opinions on both phones that would be very grateful. Please no fanboy arguments.

(i didnt know if this was the correct section for this, sorry)

EDIT

Ok I have found more information at http://androidspin.com/2010/07/21/the-samsung-epic-4g-vs-the-htc-evo-4g/

So how is TouchWiz anyways? And what do all you Evo users think so far?
[General Topics] puppetmstr:
Anybody???
[General Topics] orb3000:
Evo all the way! it´s HTC:cool:
[General Topics] Pickx:
Though there hasn't been an actual review of Epic 4G, since it's likely very similar to other Galaxy S phones, I'd say it completely destroys EVO.

Much better CPU/GPU, a physical keyboard (reportedly quite good), S-AMOLED destroys TFT LCD, probably lighter and EVO still has those build problems.

Unfortunately it's by Samsung.
[General Topics] phatmanxxl:
I know the EVO has high capacity batteries, but does the Epic? This may be the deal breaker, my Moment has been hell-in-a-handset as far as battery life goes, it burns out by 3pm with light use and takes about 3 to 4 hrs to fully charge, and absolutely no big batts are anywhere to be found. There is no way Im dealing with this again, I dont mind shelling out a few extra $$ for a big battery, I need it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunk Moose:
hi i haw such a problem. bricked my desire, and need anny suggestions :/

after i pushed it to my desire i rebooted it and everything seemed to be ok. device loaded but when came the screen to unlock it had some google errors and restarted to load screen and booted again to lock screen and so on and so on.

so i decided to wipe all data and reinstall "Official" Froyo HTC Sense ROM 1.0c. so i did it. everything seemed to be ok, i restarted my device, it started o load, loaded to boot screen, but thats all.

so i tryed to reinstal the same rom and radio :/ when i tryed to install radio device just shuted down.

after that my desire dount even loud up to boot screen, it only turns on to white screen with HTC letters on it, and restarts.

when i turn it with volume down it turns on to recovery. when i pick up recovery and pres power button to select it it turns to that screen with red !, but when i try to turn on recovery menu from my pc with recovery-windows.bat nothing happens :/

so thats my big problem, maybe anyone could help me with it? :/

[Desire General] coriron:
I thought i'd do this for all those (like me) who had issues installing the Adb driver on their system, causing them to have issues using the UnrEVOked progam to root their phones. These steps worked for me, if they are not strictly correct ill edit this post when someone corrects me, but, like I said, they worked for me after 2 weeks of trying!

Once you have booted into your HBOOT screen your system will try to install the Android 1.0 driver [Image 1] . This is the Adb Driver. If, like me, you have followed all the instructions elsewhere, downloading the SDK and installing that driver does not always work.

Right click on the Android 1.0 and go to Properties then Details

In the Drop Down list select Hardware Ids [Image 2]

you will see something along the lines of:

Download the file attached below adb_driver_htc.zip

Unzip and open the file called android_winusb.inf

You are looking for any lines that say

The file is split into sections for various drivers.

The sections you need are:

and

Change the lines

; HTC Desire

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0bb4&Pid_0c94

so that the USB\VID_0bb4&Pid_0c94 part of the line matches the Hardware Ids part that we saw in [ Image 2 ]

Now.. I put this at the end of the file just for completeness. I'm not 100% sure if it is needed or not.

Once you have done this you can now install the working driver.

Right Click again on the Android 1.0 Driver and click Update Driver...

Browse to the directory that you unzipped the drivers too, which also contains your edited .inf file. Device manager should now recognize your driver file and install it.

The Android 1.0 should now change to be Android Composite ADB Interface

If you see this...then it worked! ;) [ Image 4 ]

The Attached zip file is my Edited file that works for me. so please change to suit your Hardware Ids.

Any questions let me know. I'll help where I can

Thank you very very much !!! I've come across dozens of different tutorials, tips and hack but not success so far with installing adb with my desire, until I put my hands on yours tutorial. It worked after first attempt and now I can connect with adb.

From my side I can add that there is no need to go to HBOOT. In my case, xp was discovering Desire, with debbuging turned on, as Android Phone, with unknown drivers of course, I've just check Hardware ID (for this "unknown" device) and modified android_winusb.inf like you said so and it finally accepted the sh.... inf file :)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Susasama:
I have searched, and searched, and searched. Is it possible to change the wallpaper on Android on HD2? I'm using darkstones froyo most recent, and the 7/23 zimg. Everytime i search it always comes up with the obvious, press and hold home, tap wallpapers, etc... but i've copied pictures to my phone, put it in every folder and they never show up. Even when i use a file manager to find my pictures, they show up, but when i tap them. it's just a black screen. Is this one of the bugs/kinks? If so i'd like to know so i can stop fiddling with it...they are .jpg

Thanks in advance

(now watch, someone is gonna search and get it first result)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
when the wallpaper app cant find the pictures I want to use I apply them using astro file manager.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] paulrgod:
If your transferring pictures while in Android' they wont work - while USB mode appears to be working i don't think it can write data to your card correctly so effectively your getting corrupt images.

If you transfer them in Windows before booting into Android you'll have more luck.

Also there's a decent Wallpaper app on the market called Zedge which allows you to download and apply wallpaper direct from the app - highly reccomended.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Susasama:
I got it. Close the thread.

Apparently, all the pictures i uploaded, all transfered over, but they all showed up as 0 bytes, deleted, re-uploaded. Worked. Sorry for the waste of space, shoulda caught it before.

Edit, actually before I go, does anyone know the resolution? 600x800? :x

[HD Mini General] cougal96:
Hey my bros having some major signal and crashing issues with his new HTC HD Mini.

He bought HTC HD Mini on o2 several months back and ever since getting it it was crashing every now and then (i knew htc n winmo were prone to this prior to him getting it).

It has now got worse and he is having to soft reset it by removing battery at least 20 times a day, sometimes it will crash, remove bat and start again and it crashes as soon as it restarts!

this has now got even worse and he is now no longer receiving network signal! ive tried everything, new sim card, factory reset, hard reset, tried upgrading the ROM via HTC website as they have a ROM upgrade there but no, wont let me install that because it is o2 branded phone i get an error message saying Error 294 Invalid Vendor! have to get the ROM from o2 direct as you probably already know but this hasnt been released yet or as far as i am aware!

Can i use CustomRUU to reinstall / upgrade radio ROM

Will CustomRUU or SSPL allow me to upgrade ROM and will this change anything?

Ive been using winmo for few years and i have advised him to come here to get advice. i had an old htc (cant remember which model he said now) that had same prob that did not get any signal and was told to get a radio upgrade or somethin, after that i got normal signal.

Also he read somewhere about downloading some program to edit a certain registry value from 2-1 or something on the official rom upgrade to allow the install of it on o2 branded phones.

What are his best options and are these common problems with the htc hd mini do u know??

Cheers
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
I had the crashing problem too. Although not as severe as yours. Around 4 to 5 times a day. Had to remove battery each time, to reset it. I immediately register a complain to the vendor on the 2nd day. Replacement unit was approved shortly. New unit doesn't crash anymore.

I suggest your best option is to request a replacement unit from vendor. As soon as you can.
[HD Mini General] NeilM:
Agreed- as you've tried all the usual remedies this is almost certainly a faulty phone or battery.

Get it swapped under warranty, and make sure you note the serial number of the phone and the battery as they have been known to simply send back the faulty ones!

Regarding your comment about HTC and WinMo being prone to this- that simply isn't true especially with devices ovr the last couple of years. Most faults and crashes are down to user interaction- installing unstable programs etc, or failing to make sure unused ones are terminated. One of the perils of a multi-tasking OS, and one which iOS4 users are now starting to see :)

HOWEVER for now:

Grab a Dutch or German simcard, stick it in the phone and you can download applications.

Root the Wildfire, I do not recommend this for new users and there is no Unlocking method available for now.

Also you have to use Google Checkout to buy applications(Using credit card).

For now, Try Abduction =P.

[Vibrant General] ElChibo:
I got my Vibrant a few days ago and as of today i can only get 4-5 hours max out of the whole battery :eek: :mad: and thats with heavy to moderate use.. does anyone else seem to have this problem.. im gonna return the phone and get a new one but does anyone else seem to have this?

I really dont understand why this is so bad..
[Vibrant General] Dougefresh91:
4 or 5 hours of heavy use is about all I get. That is if I'm constantly messing with it. E.g. web, email, facebook,ect. However I think this phone has excellent battery life when I'm not constantly playing with it. Wifi definitely drains it quicker. And stupid apps like facebook. I periodically mess with my phone throughout the work day and by the time I get home I usually have about 75% battery remaining. I think that's pretty good.
[Vibrant General] stepinmyworld:
THE BATTERY IS TERRIBLE. thats why i returned it, and the slow acrolling from screen to screen with stock software
[Vibrant General] tissimo:
I think you can only expect about 4 hours of awake time use on this phone. I haven't had much trouble with mine, I get about 13-14 hours per charge. But my phone its idle 9-10 hours of the day.

Sent from my SGH-T959
[Vibrant General] temperbad:
Then why are you still in the vibrant forums... move on...
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
I would think by now people would be use to the type of battery life you get with these types of phones. With heavy usage your not going to last all day just how it is until battery tech catches up to phone tech. I use mine a above moderate usage and some days heavy usage. From when I unplug it at 7:00am the battery is down to about 10 to 15% by the time I leave work at 4:00pm. Thats a lot better than my HD2, Cliq, MT3G and G1.
[Vibrant General] All~G1:
I agree 100%. Im seeing a lot of this. One thing I dont see is the "Vibrant Complaint" forum. Can't understand why ppl feel the need to come back in here if they dont like, dont have or feel they need to bash the phone from their experience. Get rid of the phone or keep it and be patient, its that simple... or am I missing something?!?!?

Im almost in the same boat, much better battery life then my G1! I can get from 8-8pm with moderate usage and music palying for the last hour. I was experiencing horrible battery life (8-2/3pm) when I was running notifications with Bloo 1.5.apk, auto brightness on, and Advanced task manager running. Now that I have cut the notifications from bloo (got gmail for this anyway), set brightness to manual setting, and got rid of the task manager I am regularly seeing, after bering unplugged since 8(its now 1245) and im @ 85%. Try trimming down the services you have running in the background and by an extra battery or a car charger.
[Vibrant General] minogue:
Id like love to try mine out when i get it tomorrow because with

Mytouch Slide, i had Facebook, Gmail and all the usual stuff syncing and it lasted me close to 8-12 hours of Web, texting and just playing around with it throughout the day.

The Nexus One Was the same lasted me some good 10-14 hours a day syncing the usual stuff along with the weather and such. So Id expect the vibrant to be the same, or Else im returning it and thats the end of it. That also goes for lagging issues as well. And most likely get a different android phone or go back to the N1 and Switch Forums....
[Vibrant General] androidmonkey:
Have you ever owned a Smartphone before? Thats normal if you are using it heavily.
[Vibrant General] ElChibo:
no its not normal.. ive used my MT3G with heavy use gives me at least if not more than 7-8 hours use.. what i dont understand is why the hell it takes so long for my battery to charge.
[Vibrant General] androidmonkey:
I get 6-8 hours.
[Vibrant General] boodies:
I think 5 hours of juice is really good relative to your heavy usage. I always get 15 - 18 hours a day. That's with moderate use. Even playing a game of Armored Strike for an hour. This is the best battery i've had on a phone. I can easily get over a day and a half or even more once I settle down and stop using it so much more than I need to [ because I just got it.... :) ]
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
If this is what you consider to be terrible, I don't mind how terrible my battery life at all. I made a few calls, used GPS a few times, always listening to music.. some market downloads, pictures taken. SetCPU at 1000MHZ 100% of the time.

29% left!
[Vibrant General] jokka81:
Disable Google Talk. My battery life was excellent (typically all day on full charge with heavy use). I signed into google talk one day and was lucky to get 4hrs before charging was needed. I deselected the auto sign in option and killed it in the running services section. Battery life has gotten so much better 70% after 4.5hrs.
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
i think the battery life for my vibrant is pretty epic. when i went to cm5.0.8 and cm6 on my g1 i calibrated the battery and thought i was getting really good battery life. then i got the vibrant. i could probably make it two whole days without a charge with how i use my phone (probably moderate-light compared to most on here).

but one thing i do agree with is this phone takes FOREVER to charge.
[Vibrant General] SSJ_Gomike:
Hmm.....

Ok.....well I consider myself a moderate-heavy user...

On that note, I actually use my phone for work calls, emails, plus personal calls and emails as well....and i'm an avid gamer and already have many games on my Vibrant and use it to play them regularly.....then there is the fact that I travel for work....a lot, so I constantly using google voice search and maps to find where i need to go (never use the gps though)....I used the internet all the time, especially on WiFi (higher battery drain)....and don't get me started on the movies, music and youtube....plus while at work I have Pandora running from my phone throughout the day....

So how is my battery life? I unplug my phone every morning at 9am, with all that use I don't need to plug it in again till 10-11pm (12-14hrs!!).....by that time of course the battery level is at 5-15%.....But I'm definitely not complaining....

I do however disable the auto-brightness feature....AND turn down my brightness to about 30%....50% brightness cuts about 2 hours off of the battery life....

But a GREAT PHONE!!! Loving my new Galaxy S Vibrant :)
[Vibrant General] boodies:
yeah, i feel the same way. As far as phone taking forever to charge, are you using the usb-computer charger or usb-wall? The usb-computer can be very weak depending on your system.

Charging from pc, i would wake up only to see 65%. That's pretty crazy. On the wall charger, it takes less about 4-5 hours every time.
