[Epic 4G General] ben7337:
How could you end up not liking a phone though, unless of course you didn't try it out beforehand, and/or didn't know about the potential or real problems discovered with it soon after release? I do see your explaining things, but these are all things that shouldn't happen. When you get a phone from these places you need to be 100% sure of a few things

1) You won't return the phone

2) You won't change the contract in any way for at least 6 months, not even swapping phone numbers.

3) Read all of the terms and conditions to make sure there is nothing else problematic.

They can't just add fees if you sign up, get a phone, and pay your monthly bill and change nothing. If they do you can call them up and ask about it, ask where in the contract you agreed to such fees were mentioned. If they can't offer proof, threaten legal action. Customers in America have a lot of power.

I do see what you are saying, I understand that there can be issues when dealing with these companies and that customer service sucks. However when buying a BRAND NEW PHONE, and knowing what you are doing, I don't think there is really anything to worry about other than the phone not making it to you in shipping.
[Epic 4G General] FrankCummings:
I have already pre-ordered on Sprint and I think I am going to stick to it. Right now everyone is at the same price anyway. The chance that some resellers will sell it cheaper down the road may or may not come and I want it now. I agree w/ ForrelZ, the potential saving of $50 or even a $100 is not that tempting to me. Not that I am rich, but the peace of mind of knowing that I will be dealing w/ Sprint instead of some faceless, out of state 3rd party reseller outweigh the saving (I always get very good services and resolution from Sprint when there is any problem w/ my phone/account.)
[Epic 4G General] ben7337:
True enough, different situations make it more convenient for different people. For me Sprint just chose to release the phone 4 days too late and so I will be at college in VT when it comes out, so I can't preorder in a physical best buy or radioshack, and sprint stores don't offer preorders in vt, there aren't any within the biggest city in vt that offer perorders. At that rate I know there is 0 chance of me getting the phone on launch day unless I walk into a best buy or radioshack and they happen to even carry sprint phones and have non reserved epic 4g's. Even if I do that, I won't be able to keep my current NJ cell phone number, which I am hoping at least MIGHT be possible if I order online from amazon. Given those low chances and the fact that amazon.com does seem to be a safe online retailer of phones, even if the others aren't, I think I don't really mind waiting til the day after launch, just to see if the phone does hit a lower price point. I really am just in the worst possible position here, even without mentioning my verizon contract being up on september 1st and needing to get a tmobile phone and prepaid plan for a month just to make sure I don't end up without service for a few days.
[Epic 4G General] robl45:
i ended up cancelling with cellular deals and buying through radioshack. no mail in rebates and I got 2 10 dollar off coupons from radio shack which I was assured I can use one on each of the 2 epics we are getting. So the net difference versus online or radio shack is 30 dollar for 2 phones, and radio shack is in walking distance if I need to return the phone and I get it on the actual release date.

hi there all the developers

wonder if someone can make a proper mobile data toggle widget for android 2.2?

there are plenty on the market,but none that i have tested work 100% like htc sense widget

i hope someone here can creat this widget

thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] keroma:
e.g. Speaker dock, normal dock for charging,etc

Because i see a lot of dock on iphone, but no dock for android phone?

It would be very useful.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kempas:
Trouble is, with the USB connector on the top, the normal 'drop in' operation of a dock is not workable.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kgkristo:
This is not a dock, but a homemade stand :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
good job

it reminds me of the old Casio watch boxes :D

those makes great phone stands
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] andrewluecke:
Btw, there are official docks now..

http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/...ype=acc_detail&subsubtype=chargers&returnurl=

So yes.. Possible, and definitely workable..
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
a bit expensive, and bulky for the car, but it works
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] andrewluecke:
There are proper Car docks too (which are very expensive I feel), but they also apparently change the phones profile when you plug it in (so goes to navigation probably). http://www.slashgear.com/galaxy-s-o...aled-desk-car-docks-dlna-hd-streamer-1197250/ Probably also comes with car charger and such

I probably would consider the car dock personally if the GPS fix in september DOES actually work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] snapper.fishes:
The home and car dock apps are now released for Samsung Captivate. So I would say there's a good chance the the official docks will be coming out in a month or two.

To download the apps from the market, you need to have a Captivate phone. Good thing that there's work around. Download My Market from the market, launch it, set provider to US T-Mobile, and search for Samsung.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] blackstoneuser5:
Is that a 3.5mm audio-out in the back of that dock? I wonder if you could output to both the 3.5mm on the phone and the dock at the same time, probably not but would be interesting.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] betafrog:
What is the actual app called? Searching for Samsung brings up hundreds of apps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] yabbas:
Kidigi make one too :)

w w w .kidigi.com/product_lv2.php?pid=1202

The Samsung one is a beaut though, damnit why are all the accessories out of stock?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] waspbr:
Hey, so I have found those two stands that are compatible with the SGS, it may worth checking out, since I cannot really post links here it goes

let me know if you already have them and give a quick review if you can.

Here is one for the T-Mobile Vibrant I don't see why it won't fit the other models as well

http://www.wirelessphonegallery.com/samsung-t959-vibrant-battery-charger-ECR-D979BEGSTA.aspx
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] yabbas:
I've got a desk genie... [actually mine was an advertisement for a pharmaceuticals company, but the same thing]

I wouldn't call it a cradle tbh since it's just a highly rubberised surface, the USB hub is nice for charging/syncing. I've not tried placing the phone horizontally on it yet.

The sound sphere looks interesting. tbh I'm really after a desk-cradle; something you physically insert the device into and sync up

Any luck finding a car dock with "integrated" usb-charger?
[Windows Mobile] v-b-n:
I am having strange problem with the Camera App on HD2. I am using Base 2.14 drivers and most of EXT related to multimedia from 2.13 like mHub, Dshow, Full Screen Player, Streaming Media , etc.

I have removed ALL camera related registry entries from the kitchen. Photographs are just fine and crisp. But when I try video, it starts recording and runs smooth for around 7 seconds then starts lagging and then if I tap stop, I get the busy cursor with Camera in status quo (hung) and only SR revives it.

Anybody experienced such issues before ?
[Windows Mobile] v-b-n:
Apparently problem was in the DRM packages...changing title to Solved
[Windows Mobile] DJGonzo:
m Hub VO and & DRM is required for a lot of HTC apps. I'm Happy you got it resolved ;)
[Windows Mobile] v-b-n:
I spoke too early :(

Problem is in :

Discretix DRM

DRM Middleware

Lockstream DRM

I tried all combos...only one each, all of them, etc. Only 1 combo works which is NO DRM...camcorder then records just fine but of course other things break like Manila, Album, etc.

Back to square one :(
[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
Easy... remove all that DRM junk...
[Windows Mobile] v-b-n:
Removing all three of them breaks Manila ....

Manila doesnt start , just hangs

Album doesnt start

Audiomanager gives trusted error

and more ... :confused:
[Windows Mobile] g.lewarne:
sent you an email sanjeev :)
[Windows Mobile] Jbradthomas:
So what is the answer to removing all the DRM junk and still keep manila working?
[Windows Mobile] af974:
DRM Middleware must be in you rom but you need to choose from Discretix or Lockstream.
[HTC Aria General] hoofadoo:
Every time i charge my aria, while its plugged in to an AC charger, the screen seems buggy to me, the only way i can get it to work is if i put a finger on the metal part on top while im navigating, and even then it can do some funky stuff.

its like super sensitive or something.

and when i have it plugged into the computer, its even worse, completely unusable.

this happens all the time, no matter what rom i have on the phone.

its a pain, anyone else experiencing this?
[HTC Aria General] matt_b:
never had anything like that happen.
[HTC Aria General] ryan92084:
I had this problem using an lg wall charger but not with the provided wall/usb chargers or a motorola car charger
[HTC Aria General] hoofadoo:
strange, its happening on the oem chargers :(
[HTC Aria General] stone_ship:
This is happening to me too. Super sensitive keys, impossible to scroll. Happening to me on CM6, can't remember if it was same on Sense/Liberated
[HTC Aria General] AngryHog:
Same problem here with stock ROM, although only certain aftermarket chargers. The one that came in the box (as well as using USB from the PC) are fine. But they also charge much slower. I think the other chargers have a higher voltage (like 5v USB as compared to 3.3v). It's annoying for sure, but not a deal-breaker for me.

Oink!
[HTC Aria General] D33PTHAWTE:
It only happens to me when I use the aftermarket wall charger. I'm on liberated b003 rom.

Paranoid Brandroid
[HTC Aria General] hoofadoo:
hmmm, maybe ill go buy another oem charger, see if its a problem with the charger
[HTC Aria General] dh4645:
happens to me on a wall charger/car charger set i bought on ebay or amazon...cant remember

oem charger is fine and so is any other cable plugged in to the pc to charge.

it's just that one damn wall charger that doesnt charge very fast anyway. just got it as a backup for at work.
[HTC Aria General] zephxiii:
I actually had this problem with my iphone 3gs and some charger i bought off of ebay. When the phone was plugged into it, the capacitive panel was all wonky and i couldn't use the phone. I guess it was a poorly designed charger.
[HTC Aria General] allogator:
Happens to me too across all ROMs using the oem charger. I don't have an after market to test with.
[HTC Aria General] test_man:
same is happening to me with a 3rd party microusb charger on my desire, if i try to pinch to zoom, while charging, the screen goes crazy :(
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
I looked at the supposed two devices for project emerald slated to be released next month the specs are not anything that amazing... the vibrant more than holds it own. However the fact that the devices will be hspda+ or whatever it is called makes me want to return my vibrant amd wait. What do you all think?
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
The 'G2' (the replacement for the G1) is supposed to be a 'Google Experience' (run stock Android). That's supposedly launching September 9th. So, that's pretty neat. It's said to basically be a Nexus One with a sliding keyboard (the often rumored 'Nexus Two'). The Snapdragon core is rumored to be underclocked to 800MHz (in test hardware), but that would be silly to take to market at this point. The device is also supposed to have a front-facing camera.

I'm interested in such a device, as it will soon be the only stock Android device being sold in the US market (Droid is end-of-life and Nexus One isn't sold to consumers anymore). It will be nice to see frequent updates, and stock 3.0 when it comes out.

One would like to see some beefier specs on such a phone, but what can you do? HTC seems to be building every phone with the same Snapdragon core.

The second phone is basically an HTC Desire HD (4.3") with T-Mo's custom Sense rom ('Genius' button and so forth). I'm not too interested in that heavy customization of Android.

If I had to choose, I'd take the Vibrant with a fixed GPS and Compass. If the issues were never addressed, the G2 would probably be my next phone.
[Vibrant General] junkdruggler:
Samsungs hardware trumps anything htc is putting out anytime soon... and im a htc fanboy....

But if i had hspa around here getting 15-20 down, yeah kinda hard to say no to that...
[Vibrant General] bdveteran18:
What exactly is HSDPA +? My phone shows it as the network type already so why is everyone so excited about the two newest phones having it if my vibrant and I'm assuming other peoples does as well?
[Vibrant General] Dougefresh91:
HSPA+ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolved_HSPA

Knowing these phones were coming made keeping my Vibrant a tough decision. I figure if I really want one of these phones I'll just sell the Vibrant and buy one at full price. I'd prefer an HTC phone, but the 4.3 in. screen makes me wonder about the battery life. I think the 4 in. on the Vibrant is a pretty good compromise and I've been really happy with how long this thing holds a charge.
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
Your says hsdpa . High speed download package access. Wich is part of hspa . I'm wrong on these numbers but say hspa does 10mbps download a second.. hspa+ will give ya 21mbps...

So hspa+ is faster than our hspa... but I never Max out on hspa to even want +....
[Vibrant General] larryccf:
believe your's shows, same as mine, HSDPA which is theoretically good for up to 7.2 Mbps download speed - that's theoretical, actual download speed will be less

HSDPA+, iirc, is supposed to be good for theoretically 21 Mbps

i'm in a "moderate" coverage area (per Tmo's map legend) and i've seen as high as 5.6 Mbps, but am usually running 1.1 to 2.6 Mbps when i test at speedtest.net
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
The new technology is being tested by Canadian Bell and Rogers to double HSDPA+, the race is on, remember the days when the processor speed mattered so much you wanted to have a new one every month...
[Vibrant General] junkdruggler:
Hsdpa is theoretically able to go up to 21... but we just dont have a handset that can receive that much info... our phones get up to 7.2 same as any other 3g device...

It the same technology so we can use it just cant process that much data... my phone is already faster than comcast around here... and im just getting 3g flowover from 45 minutes away north and south...
[Vibrant General] Tpavey:
It will be many months before most of us will be maxing out our 7.2mbps phones.

The screen on this phone makes me think I won't be upgrading for a while.
[Vibrant General] vinnydakid:
I say get the Vibrant. I was waiting for Emerald for a long time and I decided this phone is awesome enough.

I also figure that I could get Project Emerald by selling this phone and buy it off Ebay. Chances are you would not lose any money on that deal.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] soraxd:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] android53:
Jg8 works well for me. Gps still sucks though
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bratfink:
+1

Also wondering which is better out of the two.. but more specifically which has the least 'out of the box' lag?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GSeeker:
I think JG8 is the best 2.1 rom so far, very fast, no bugs or lags, almost.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bratfink:
Which?

Which JG8 version did you flash? I have a standard i9000 from vodafone in the UK, and i speak only english.. so should i flash I9000JPJG8 or I9000UGJG8?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aeo087:
I found JG8 to be lacking some features like network mode, other than that I think they perform pretty much the same, I didn't really notice any huge speed improvements from JG8... I actually went back to JM5 since I wanted the network mode feature...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lgkahn:
by net work mode you mean wcdma only, cdma etc. etc..

if so this can also be set under hidden menus in previous firmwares

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] sam_1421:
Hi,

I would like to know if a Sprint TP2 will fully work on a Canadian carrier (like Telus or Rogers)? I know it will work, but I heard from some people it will be stuck to 2g. Is that true? Is there a way to enable 3G in Canada for the Sprint TP2?

Thanks

Sam
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] gamescan:
No. The Sprint (and Verizon) TP2 devices only have support for 2100 WCDMA in GSM mode which is what is used in Japan and Europe. Canada does not use that frequency, so you'll be limited to 2G if you're using a Sprint TP2 in Canada in GSM mode.

does anyone know how to bring everything back to working?

Yea there is one but stable not really to confident on that but modaco.com you should be able to find a sense ui rom on there

Cheer up, its not all bad. :cool:

Thanks for the link.
[Nexus One General] DMaverick50:
you'll have to forgive XDA, recently it has attracted many young people that get bullied at home and school, this is a place they can come and anonymously display their e-toughness. Just ignore them.

btw, i dont think there is a sense rom that has everything working like your stock version. i hope im wrong but i was interested in rooting to use sense, in the development section i couldnt find any that didnt have disclaimers about things that arent working, so i havent gotten to try it out yet. But again, maybe im wrong, and i hope i am.
[Nexus One General] evilkorn:
Without a criteria of what he is looking for other than good and stable it's hard to give a good answer. It's not about e-toughness, it's about searching, putting together an informative post, and reading the forum rules.

'cymru' is 100% correct. All it took was a search and reading comments about what does and does not work, then nandroid backup and try the rom and see if it passes the "good and stable" test.
[Nexus One General] stuff:
WHat he said.

Sense UI has its bugs on the N1. I think LauncherPro is 100x better than Sense UI. It's just not as smooth (this is coming from experience using it on an Evo 4g)
[Nexus One General] LevitateJay:
I'd run a stable sense rom if there was one with Launcher Pro as my launcher... I want sense for the camera, calc, dialer, calander, emails etc. not the launcher. The applications on it are just way better quality!
