How I miss the days when you could use other cdma phones in vzw (not that i knew how to do it personally, but what are friends for?). Lucky you if youhave someone who will clear the esn for you. If i had connect like that at Verizon I'd totally have an EVO right now
[Droid Incredible General] jhamady:
I would Like to Do this also

I want to run an Incredible on sprint also... I am thinking about wiping the Incredible's ESN and replacing it with my Hero's ESN. If I accomplish this then do I also have to flash the PRI on the Incredible ?

Thanks,

Jay
[Droid Incredible General] lamerto:
I have an Incredible running flawlessly in Mexico, with Iusacell. It took me probably 5 minutes to get it running, following a Hero guide. You just have to dial ##PROGRAM and input all the changes there, the Incredible has no settings locked down.

I don't know if replacing the MEID(ESN) of the Inc is currently possible, you should check with the CDMA Workshop guys...
[Droid Incredible General] krazytyler:
Has this been accomplished?

Has this been accomplished yet? I am interested in this as well. Perhaps we can get some steps? I know I don't want to get the EVO for two reasons: 1) the Incredible has an awesome form factor 2) I don't want to pay the extra $10 for 4G when I can't use it/don't need it.
[Droid Incredible General] svil3:
This can be done, like "lamerto" I also have an incredible fully working on the Iusacell network(Mexico) and maybe the most difficult thing to do on this case is activate the meid on sprint(on Iusacell this things are easy) and maybe get the prl (in my case I can even download OTA way)

so the all the rest is a piece of cake, you have a hero, so you only have to read it with qpst, save or just copy all the parameters and then write it to the incredible (even the drivers are the same) and the only thing that is different is the meid (guessing that you're going to use the line that you have on the hero, on the dinc)

that's all this way you can have an incredible working on sprint(maybe you have to copy the mms parameters later, but that can be done even from the phone)

greetings

PD: sorry for my bad english
[Droid Incredible General] dannyxda:
awesome thread. couple of guys on #htc-evo on freenode

have recommended the hong kong batteries.

I mean really, sprint batteries originate from that part of the world

anyway :)

luckily i have a spare 1500 battery (official) anyway. need a charger

solution though.

HTC Knight sounds like the Option...
[Desire General] <Majestic>:
Hi,

I am currently running OpenDesire HTC Sence ROM 1.0c which is running fantastic! However I have just noticed in my dmsg logs the following..

I have cutted it so its not so long.. but the lines which look NOT NORMAL are down the bottom. These repeat themselfs for at least 20-30 lines and then I dont see them again. This happends on bootup.

I also get a brief what sounds like some kinda alert sound just after the SD card mounts. I am sure this wanst there before. Not sure if thats also related and or has a clue on this issue, that may be some software ive recently installed.

However even with this in the logs.. the phone is working perfectly from what I can tell.

Does anyone have any thoughts what maybe causing this?

Please let me know if you need any more info.

[General Questions and Answers] ChucksBaby:
Hi, so I just got an HTC Fuze. I'm usually pretty tech savvy but apparently not with this. I can't get my phone synced with my computer so I got an SD card reader to transfer files. However I've got no idea how to install half of the apps I've downloaded. The single .cab files I understand. Just copy them over and run them on the phone. Even the .exe I got a .cab converter for but most of them come zipped with at least like 10 or way more files with one of the XML document setup things. Could someone please tell me what I do with these? The file types are always numbers and I just don't get it.

Also, if someone might be able to let me know why my computer won't recognize my phone that would be greatly helpful. It's a 32 bit Vista. I've got Windows Mobile Device Center on but the computer calls my phone an unknown device. I feel like I've tried a hundred different things but it just won't work. My phone is running TAEL ROM does this have anything to do with it?

Thank you!

So I was just wondering if compiz could ever be possible to be used in android. With gingerbread coming to pretty up android I think using compiz would be a sweet idea.

Any opinions?

Yeah, I have opinions about this idea, but you'd just get all insulted so I'll leave it at this: I hope not.

Okay, chill!

Here's how I thought about this topic. My pen blotted and got some permanent ink stains on my phone's touchscreen (thank goodness I have a screen protector). So I got some alcohol to wipe off what I can remove and suddenly... "alcohol, wiping, cellphone, hands, germs..." -goes to Google and searches for cellphones + germs-.

Now, make sure to clean your phones every now and then. Here are some good reads about the topic.

P.S. I'm not a germophobic! :D

looking for a modded facebook apk. transparent or dark no matter. I tried UltraLinx's but it wouldnt work. I would imagine because its a desire rom? Dunno. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Have you tried pure messenger from the market? It allows you to create custom twitter or facebook widgets from different templates and allows you to set the transparency levels

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] joe.kerwin:
If you're referring to the widget, use morphs from Nexus threads, they work.
[Epic 4G General] coolkams03:
This might help some to decide. I am one of them. I am definitely moving to Sprint for the low cost plus the 4G service. This will also be my first smart phone. My options are limited to EVO and EPIC and I am sure there are many out there l...ike me. I just created a list for myself. Have not decided anything yet though. ...This again is based on my observation of both these phones.

UI: EVO

Camera Picture Quality: EVO

Widgets: EVO

Screen Size: EVO

Front Cam: EVO

HDMI: EVO

Kick Stand: EVO

Size: EVO

FM: EVO

HotSpot: EVO

Price: EVO

OS: EVO (2.2)

Display: EPIC

Video Capture: EPIC (EVO may be better with 2.2 update)

HW Keyboard: EPIC

Games: EPIC

Processor::

For Day to Day Use: EVO (Arguable-Hummingbird is fast but for day to day it is hardly noticeable. Sense UI adds more to this than the processor)

For Games: EPIC

DLNA::

EPIC: Inbuilt

EVO: 3rd Party - iMediaShare (google it)

HDMI::

EVO: InBuilt

EPIC: miniUSB to HDMI cable (not confirmed yet)

Battery Life: Not sure (may be EPIC)
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
EVO? For day to day use? How do you figure? Show me anything that performs better on the EVO than the Epic. And don't you dare show me benchmarks.

Home screens - Epic (2.1) faster than EVO (2.2)

Browser - faster on the Epic (panning and zooming)

Games - faster on the Epic

From what I've seen of the browser on the Epic, it's faster than my EVO with CM6.

Both phones have a front cam.... I wouldn't really say the EVO's is better than the Epic's. I think they're exactly the same.

The rest is really a matter of preference though. I'll be getting the Epic.
[Epic 4G General] ls3mach:
If by exactly the same you mean one is VGA (640x480) and the other is SXGA (1280x1024) then yes they are exactly the same.

Regarding the processor, I never notice any lag on my EVO, I think that is what he means. Also something I note, that is a personal preference, I like HTC devices better than Samsung.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
There are a few mistakes here so let me correct them

Now things you are missing is Epic has bluetooth 3.0, hardware video decode with support for divx/xvid, 6 axis g-sensor...you also forgot to mention that Epic would play flash better...
[Epic 4G General] xXSecretAgentXx:
He didnt Forget anything. He's knows damn well how much better the Epic is over Evo. He's just being a fanboy coz he's stuck with what he has and trying to convince himself that what he has is ''better''. My brother did that when he was stuck with his nexus. Cant you ppl be happy that they are both on sprint...
[Epic 4G General] coolkams03:
I am not a fanboy. As I said in my post above, this will be my first smartphone. I appreciate the arguments made. It will help me choose the better device. I have already reserved my EPIC. It is just that I am still in doubt which I would prefer. Thanks again for the replies.
[Epic 4G General] aim1126:
Btw the 5 megaoixel camera in the epic takes way better pictures and records better video than the 8 megapixel camera. Also the hummingbird processor uses less battery thatn the snapdragon processor so day to day use, epic wins
[Epic 4G General] keebler021:
Having messed with both (but owning an Evo) I'll stick with my current phone. The screen is gorgeous, and the camera is actually better than the Evo's. On the other hand, the screen is less responsive than the Evo's, especially the capacitive buttons at the bottom, and the build quality is just...lacking. It feels plastic-y, whereas the Evo has a slightly heavier and sturdier feel to it. Also, from a personal aesthetics stand point, Sense is infinitely more attractive than TouchWiz, and more useful to boot, though that's more opinion than anything.

Either way you'll be getting a good phone, but as for me, I'll stick with my Evo :-)
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Ahm...that shouldn't be..the touch sensor in the screen is the same on the EVO and the EPIC..so if you actually tried both and there was a responsiveness issue then it must be a software thing...though this is the first time I'm hearing about the buttons..the reviews said that the buttons were much better then on the vibrant and captivate and responded instantly...

And lastly build quality is better on the Epic then the EVO 100%..if you take the EVO apart there are a lot of empty space and extra plastic for no reason..take apart a galaxy S phone and nothing is wasted inside...I read in another forum its so good that they dropped their phone in a puddle of water for an hour and no water got through to the device so it turned on fine (don't try it at home though)..it feels "plastic-y" because they made it like that on purpose so that its very light..which it is..either way once you put a case on it, that will change either way..
[Epic 4G General] Aridon:
I have an evo.

You absolutely have to root and install a custom rom if you want high performance. In fact the Epic blows the stock evo's benchmarks out of the water. Once the Epic gets froyo it won't even be close.

Evo camera is a joke.

FPS cap anyone? I'm so tired of ****ing with evo switch and trying to find the optimal performance.

Different hardware? Some evo's can see 2 multi touch points, some 5, some 3... HTC threw together whatever hand me down hardware they had left in stock. Different screens, different sensors etc..
[Epic 4G General] shep211:
I will take you up on that. Have stovk captivate and evo right here. Evo with better benchmarks and performs better in day to day use. will post video in a few.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Everyone knows the captivate has those hiccups here and there..but from what reviewers said those have been fixed...even those that hated Touchwiz UI after trying it on the Epic said its like a completely different..they didnt believe it so much they double checked their captivates to make sure they aren't going senile...either way when people walk into a Sprint store on the 31st both should be there side by side to test on...
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
I'm sorry. I believe I said the Epic, not the captivate. And I also said I don't care about benchmarks. I want to see a video showing the EVO browser performing better than the Epic's. Or Sense being smoother than TW. Or Launcher Pro faster on the EVO than the EPIC. Or ANY game running better on the EVO.

If you can't show me any of those, I don't care.
[Epic 4G General] shep211:
I said I would post both benchmarks and videos of apps/browser but the captivate wins 0. You know epic/captivate have same cpu, gpu and file system and the benchmark the same right? Yes touch wiz may be faster due to 2.5 version but I bet they load apps around the same time since there benchmarks are the same. If the file system was working right it would have a higher score then the droid x for sure since the cpu & gpu are faster. We have no proof yet the epics faster in day to day use then any other galaxy s phone. I know you dont like benchmarks but they show correct results when testing speed opening apps vs benchmark score.

stock captiavte

1.2 ghz Captivate with lag fix(captiavte on top with no i\o test on the left)

Evo vs 1.2 ghz Captivate with I9000 rom and fastest ext 2 internal partition lag fix(should be faster then any stock sgs)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji49qFNxC4c
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
On the benchmark the EVO is running Android 2.2 right? and the captivate is running 2.1 and not running lag fix?

And as for the video..the speed of the launching of apps was pretty much the same on the captivate and evo :/
[Epic 4G General] aim1126:
Just because it doesn't beat the droid on quadrant doesn't mean that's there's something wrong with the file system. The cpu and gpu part of the benchmark beat the droids x and the io part beats the evo and nexus one on 2.1. So basically youre saying that there's something wrong with every phone because none of them beat the droid x on the io benchmark. The io part of the quadrant benchmark is severely flawed
[Epic 4G General] shep211:
Droid x benchmarks and performs faster. Why would the sgs be slower with faster cpu & gpu? Any sgs should kill the droid in benchmarks and day to day use.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIQJ-3a96oM
[Epic 4G General] shep211:
I was thinking of retesting with lag fix but the captivate will be running faster then the epic so it really wouldn't be a fair test. Since it benchmarks the same as the captivate stock rom I thought that would be a good test. The epic may be a little faster stock then the captivate but it cant be that much more since they benchmark the same. I can see a big difference in launching apps. Look at the browser test. The captivate is loading mobile version secs behind the evo running full version with flash. The camera, market & gallery is secs behind as well.
[Epic 4G General] aim1126:
The droid x benchmarks faster only on the io test. It actual benchmarks fairly poorly in the 3d test. The epic benchmarks faster in the io part than any other phone besides the droid x. Quadrant is flawed. Even cyanogen proved it
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
It's been stated that the Epic does not have the lag problem. The delay you're seeing in apps loading (and closing from what I could see in the video) were not seen in the Epic videos. Everything loaded instantly. The captivate without the lag fix is obviously using the flawed file system that slows things down. A lot.

Again, you're using benchmarks to show every day use when people don't use benchmarks every day. We also don't have the Epic to show next to an EVO, so that video doesn't belong in this thread. They've had more time to tweak\fix the Epic and that has shown in its videos. Hopefully this is the last time we'll see a captivate\vibrant video in these forums.
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
Is this true? I've heard that the Epic has 1GB ROM... 512 MiB... but never heard anything official.

Also, for those of you who think you can compare the Epic to the Captivate:

"Speed of the phone - unrivaled. Possibly the fastest, baddest Android-powered device yet. I own a Captivate, and this thing BLOWS the Captivate out of the water.

When I apply the EXT2 lag fix on Captivate, it brings Captivate up to par with the Epic 4G. But, Epic is fast right out of the box. Boot up times are nice and fast. No ten minutes of loading crap."

I saw how fast the Epic booted in some of the videos... holy ****. It was insane. Maybe it's CM6 (RC2), but my EVO can take a few minutes to boot.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
The apps were the same for loading on both devices...as for the browser test..are you launching the webpage from local? because otherwise we can't tell if its AT&T slow or Sprint is fast..also in 2.2 there were updates done to the browser where Google promised 3x faster browsing experience...

@puppetmstr - Snapdragon in EVO is a Cortex A8..not A9..The Snapdragon 8X72 is a 1.5ghz dual core cpu and 45nm(is cortex A9 mpcore)...the Snapdragon in EVO is a QSD8650 based on Cortex A8

Also..Zune, KIN One, KIN Two uses just a Tegra..not a Tegra2

Epic also has 1gb rom..this was confirmed..512mb was a typo
[Epic 4G General] shep211:
1 gb rom **confirmed!**

256mb goes to system

512mb goes to data

175mb goes to cache

8mb goes to kernel

8mb goes to recovery

65 mb goes to bootloader and database and modem.bin and filesystem map
[Epic 4G General] ttieder:
I have a evo and I have a upgrade available wouldn't it just be smart to wait for the next group of phones if you already have a evo the epic looks great I can't imagine what the sabor would look like if it was true but still is very tempting
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
My EVO is great... but it doesn't have a keyboard. I looooove to play emulators on my EVO but I can't stand touch screen controls for it. The Epic will be the ultimate handheld gaming device. I suspect it can handle PSX games much better than the EVO does... and we still have the n64 emulator coming out (no idea when). For people that don't need a physical keyboard... there aren't many reasons to switch. The EVO has features aplenty.
[Epic 4G General] infamousjax:
The Evo's going to win on benchmarks against the Epic all day since the Evo is running Froyo. Because of the JIT compiling, it exponentially boosts both the linpack and quadrant scores. Try reverting back to Android 2.1 on your Evo and running those same benchmarks again and you'll know what I mean. I know most everyone already knows this, but I fear there are some that don't.

The Epic is going to be a better phone. The 4G is going to be more reliable/battery friendly because they've had time to learn from the Evo's mistakes. The QWERTY keyboard is certainly a necessity for a lot of people, and also the absense of a 30FPS cap on the Epic trumps the Evo.

Where the Evo truly gets curbstomped is the GPU, like as the person above me stated is related to the same one in the Sega Dreamcast. Since the Epic is running a "lowfat" version of Touchwiz (2.5), the file system seems to be faster than the other Galaxy S phones OUT OF THE BOX.

I own the Evo, but have preordered the Epic and have no hesitations about it being able to perform. I believe that since the Galaxy S phones hardware and internal components are all very similar, the Galaxy S community should be formidable to the Evos.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
If a person has an EVO and likes everything about it then no one is saying go drop your EVO and get an Epic...this is for those that either have a gripe with their EVO, still did not get an EVO, waiting on EVO to come into stock, wanting to get the best phone available now, wanting to play games on their phone..or needs a physical keyboard.

Overall though the GPU in the Epic is still better then the newest snapdragons that will come out end of this year. and the CPU while still is only 1ghz is possible to overclock to 1.6ghz maybe more...so I can't exactly say the Epic would fall behind for at least a year...

considering..when the EVO was released it was already at least 1-2 years outdated, especially the processor...IF you want to wait for the next best phone you will be waiting forever as specs will laways go up to get you to buy the next best thing...The EVO when it came out isnt anything special considering Nexus One, HTC Legend, or the other 1ghz phones in Europe like TG01, Liquid and etc..The Epic is coming out right now with the best specs of the time..and unlike the EVO no other phone over shallows it..
[Epic 4G General] shep211:
Thats what I am going to do. The sgs line really isn't much faster with day to day use. They gpu is 3x fatser in the sgs line but thats all it has over evo. I think the captivate, sgs or vibrant with ext 2 internal lag fix is going to be the fastest sgs phones and they are only a bit faster then the evo. There will be some really nice phones out later this year with android 3.0 and new cpu\gpus. I am still going to test the epic for 30 days but im pretty sure im keeping the evo.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Actually on the topic of benchmarks: (here is the unreleased HTC Glacier leak being beaten by a Galaxy S..though with newest lag fix Captivate does 1674 Frames)
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
For day to day use, you cant get MUCH faster than the EVO. Apps launch pretty quickly. Loading times are never horrendous. That's probably why HTC went with a processor that has already been in phones since the Nexus One (maybe older.... I'm fairly new to android). The hummingbird is only 1Ghz... which is the same as the EVO. However, SGS phones are taking the GPU up a notch since that's where the iPhone KILLS Android phones. Graphics processing. Watching high-def movies and playing graphically intense games.

I was surprised when even the dual-cores coming out later this year won't have faster graphics processing than the SGS phones. So I won't be upset getting the Epic. My fiance has convinced me to give her my EVO so... I won't have to sell it after all :)
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
What, your not selling it to her? ;) jk
[Epic 4G General] aim1126:
Also that htc glacier was probably running 2.2
[Epic 4G General] agonzalez1010:
if you want "

ROOT

" pick EPIC. Right now all new EVOs come with FROYO, but more importantly they are coming with a new bootloader that so far since August 3rd no ones been able to figure out how to crack. I'm switching to an EPIC for this reason.

(my 2 cents)
