I played with an epic a couple of days ago and to be honest it felt a little laggy. The screen on it was very nice and the colors were awesome on it. It made the phone very light, actually too light; it felt too flimsy. It really wasnt anything out of this world, although the camera was pretty sweet on it; it would take pictures instantly with no autofocus but pictures would still come out nice. Evo has been good to me, Epic didnt really have anything over it. On paper it seems better but once you use it, Evo's the phone to go with.
[EVO 4G General] hydralisk:
Well I'm an EVO owner... and the EVO (and android in general) has provided me with more enjoyment than any of the 2 iPhones I've owned put together. Even without all those games, I've had very few complaints about the EVO.

That being said, I will be getting an Epic. If for no other reason than the fact that I can afford it, and I MUST PLAY WITH IT. My favorite thing to do on my EVO is load up an emulator and play some old school games... but I HATE on screen controls. I'll probably only use the epic's slide-out keyboard for games... but that will be good enough for me. I'm really into games. I prefer swype for typing. It's so much fun.

The Epic's smaller screen will make me sad... but it's not THAT much smaller. I don't care about touchwiz or sense because I use Launcher Pro and a VERY simple home screen setup. The EVO doesn't really have any other features that makes it stand out. The camera on the Epic looks like it's actually better than the EVO's... but it's a camera on a phone. I also own a DSLR camera... so...

My EVO also chokes on high quality divx movies... but the Epic can apparently play them right out of the box. Here is where I'll miss the kickstand... but the Epic does come with a dock that will serve this purpose.

I suspect I will love both of these phones and I'll definitely post my own comparison once I have it. My girlfriend will be the new owner of my EVO. She'll be coming from a crappy flip phone on AT&T. Heh.

One last thing... Samsung may have had a crappy history with updates and whatnot... but they're obviously upping their game with the new Galaxy S phones. I think we should give them a 2nd chance. If they botch these phones, I don't think anyone will trust them again.

Cool. I searched for hours trying to find out how to do that, lol. I guess that what happens when you're coming from WinMo.
[Vibrant General] bwolmarans:
Because it is clearly too much to expect google to make it as easy as windows or an iphone.

For this, and also for alarms, for selecting text, for clicking on phone numbers and urls (not all of which work) in email and calendar entries, etc.

I would be very surprised if froyo fixes any of this.

Maybe the googlies made too much money on the stock that they simply don't care because they already own iphones.

end of rant.

By now I think everyone has experienced annoying pop ups "Video Type not Supported", especially with apps like Engadget etc when they launch the Android video player for videos

My question is can we replace this with one such as RockPlayer ect or is it heavily built into the system that its not easily replaced.

Thankyou :)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonnib4:
Yes it is.

RockPlayer still beta but as any android app it's registered as one type of file on which one it can take action.

Like when you click a youtube video, you can open it with youtube app or browser etc.

Actually RockPlayer is NOT registered as a video player so the system doesn't know about it and so it does not prompt you for which video player to use.

Later on it will be the case and you'll be able to check "alway use RockPlayer".

Wait for the RockPlayer' development.

[Captivate General] dsw274:
customer of at&t says they dont know about there own products

A few years ago I switched from Cingular to Verizon. I didn't notice much of a change as far as cell phone coverage, however I saw that more then not the people generally knew what they were talking bout at Verizon both in store and Customer service.

Anyway to not waste your time. I bought a Samsung Captivate and switched back to the dark side ATT. I called At&t up and asked them about some of their plans, and extra services, ex, Insurance, Data Plans, TXT messaging plans. I call up one day and its one policy, call up the next week and its a nothing policy. I called today and she said i only have 30 days to decide if i want the insurance. Last week, they (ATT customer care) said i have 1 year to decide.

I was messin' around with my phone, The Samsung captivate, and kinda UN'installed att hot-spot with titanium back up app. when i realized that it might be useful i called att, and after 10 min finding out who i am,and another 20 min on hold. The woman comes back on the phone and very politely tells me that the ATT HOTSPOT application is not available for my device. LOL, considering its printed on the att box, i figure she as wrong, lol....

THANKS GUYS I WAS SEARCHING AND SEARCHING for this APK

, IF SOMEONE CAN EXTRACT ALL THE CARRIES APPS SO IF SOMEONE LIKE MYSELF DOES UNINSTALL ANOTHER OF PROVIDERS APPS IT CAN BE EASILY REINSTALLED. FOR THE PEOPLE AT ATT ARE USELESS.:D

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ydnandy:
I've been doing a lot of reading on this forum trying to find the best way to update to Froyo... seems like every ROM says it requires me to wipe my data. I'm curious why that is? The official OTA update can update to Froyo without wiping my data, so why can't any of the ROMS on this site do that?

I'm just looking to update to Froyo and then customize it how I prefer.

I am already rooted, removed all the sprint/htc bloatware i dont want, customized my boot up animation, and changed the sprint banner... Certainly I will have to re-do some of this after the upgrade, but I would prefer not to have to re setup all of my home screens, re-install apps, lose my app data, etc...

I understand that titanium backup can help make this a lot easier, but the question remains... if the official OTA update doesn't require a data wipe, why do these un-official updates?

Thanks,

~ Andy
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ballr4lyf:
1) This should be in the Q&A section.

2) I can't speak for the Evo, but my wife's Moment, when it was upgraded to the official 2.1, did not require a data wipe either.... Because the official update did the data wipe for you. Either way, she lost all her data. I suspect this is the same for the official froyo.

3) If you want things to go smoothly, always do a backup (nand, TB, etc) and always do a full wipe before flashing a new ROM. In some cases, this applies to themes and other upgrades. If you don't, it's on your hands if things go awry.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
this is as i understand it. perhaps we'll get lucky and one of devs will come in and clarify this point for us.

quick answer:

when you call your IT guy with a problem what is the first question they ask? "when did you last reboot?" and then they have you reboot anyway. does that solve all problems? hell no. but if you knew how many times it did you'd understand why we do it.

... "did you wipe" seems to be that same kinda question.

what i think:

There are several partitions used by Android. and much like its big brothers the Linux OS's...the use of these partitions is well guided but not law. hence, some folks feel that dataX should be here and others feel it should be there.

there can also be configs that would conflict (things like HTC Sense are very deeply intertwined into the Android OS so an AOSP build would have conflict).

hence, to ensure that you (the end user of whichever ROM) have the best experience it's best to have you start with a clean slate. (it's plain old step one troubleshooting especially when dealing with so many non-techie folks)

once you have more familiarity you'll notice some folks don't wipe...but if they have issues, you'll often hear them go do a full wipe and report the issue was resolved. this is more true when upgrading...not so much when transitioning.

since the OTA was developed by the same organization that developed the existing OS...no wipe is needed.

the same can generally be said for those of us using CM6 and then flashing the nightly builds

the same can generally be said for those using Fresh ROMs and flashing updates provided by Flipz.

the same

cannot

be said for someone coming to CM6 from Fresh. much difference.

basically, the rule of thumb is "when in question...wipe". why? because if you don't and if you experience issues you may assume the ROM is bad or the dev is an id10T. then the non-techie may erroneously post such comments...causing a stampede. the board gets filled up with 'this rom sux' and 'plz help' for things that would have been a

non-issue

had a wipe been done.

I am already rooted, removed all the sprint/htc bloatware i dont want, customized my boot up animation, and changed the sprint banner... Certainly I will have to re-do some of this after the upgrade, but I would prefer not to have to re setup all of my home screens, re-install apps, lose my app data, etc...​

you can try using Titanium. it worked well for me when moving between Sense based ROMs. it will save most of your settings. it had issues when i transitioned to CM6...so i had to reconfigure my email, IM, desktops, etc.

when you flash a new ROM, expect your custom boot animation to be reset to whatever the dev chose...but using PushBoot makes it very easy to fix.

if you use adw (mabye launcherpro) you can export your settings and then import them after the flash

you won't loose the pics/movies/mp3/etc by doing a sd:ext wipe. (just in case you were concerned)

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Tyresian:
Thank you! I've been looking to do this for a while now and was just looking to see if someone atelast made the image already.

I just got done doing a custom boot animation as well. I took some droid animations that were already floating around with the HTC logo and merged them. It isn't perfect, but I'm not a graphic artist and this is my first experience in 7 years with any sort of animation. (The last time was using Flash 5 O.o)

This time was using GIMP and a GIF extractor that takes an animated GIF and splits it into PNG files. I can post it. Unfortunately the two images I merged ran at different speeds, so it may be better to split them into 2 seperate animations, but honestly, I don't know if changing the animation FPS above 15 makes any difference on our phones.

I'll try to host it and get it up on here if anyone is interested, I don't want to hijack this thread.

[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
I am sure some of you remember back when the phone first came out the Network was set to CDMA/GSM auto which created a very high Cell Standby % and caused a battery drain.

Since using the Network app to change that to CDMA(auto) mine has never been over 4%

Now after finally getting my PRI up to 1.40 my cell standby is well over 35% and sometimes even higher. My Network is still at CDMA(auto) like it was when I orignally changed it.

I have read others reporting a high Cell Standby % also so can we get a thing going on what everyone elses cell standby is now that they have updated to 1.40?

This can cause a battery drain so I hope if this is it we can get some attention to it.

thanks
