[EVO 4G General] energizer1389:
The other day I was going at it with a friend of mine who ones an iPhone 4 (I got Evo 2.2). Youtube app let me down.

When you pause a video the downloading bar also pauses. It makes you think it also paused the download of the video to cache. His iPhone 4 showed the video pause but still downloading. He scored a victory :eek:.

After further review I noticed that video does continue downloading to cache while paused but the bar stops displaying the download. After you click the play button again one can see where the download is actually gone to in the bar.

I was wondering if this is only on my Evo of is it a bug of the app. Anyone else has this issue???
[EVO 4G General] bomix:
Yeah the New Youtube app is junk.. I hate not being able to see certain channels by default, the TP2 youtube app was soo much better.

When My friend shows me his IPhone 4 youtube app, I say to him.. is your Optimized for HD? he was like ... umm.. should be..... The picture turned out amazing on my evo.. he was still trying to do HD...
[EVO 4G General] energizer1389:
Videos don't look as good thru the browser. Blame it on flash. The app displays the hq videos much better.
[EVO 4G General] superlinkx:
Mine never goes through flash when I go to the site. I hit the HQ button and it uses some streaming video player to actually play the video, not sure exactly what app, but its really bare bones. I get decent quality.

Yeah the YouTube player sucks. Wonder why there isnt a better YouTube player or more to choose from.

Is there any way to convert the internal memory from FAT32 to EXT3\4?

Its great that we have 13 gigs usable memory on the internal NAND, but with it formatted as FAT, I can not store files larger than 4 GB in size.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
Why put a full 720P file on the phone? By definition 720P is 1280×720 pixels. The displays on our phones are only 800x480 pixels. You will see absolutely no gain in playing a 720P video, over a much smaller, converted video running at the native resolution. And you'll save battery life as well because the system doesn't have to down-convert the media to something it can show.

So, I am going to have to back up:

Does it really matter? The man wants the capability, hence the question.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ionutz6:
maybe because you don't want to spend time converting the movie file. as smb else said, doesnt matter the reason behind, let's just find out if it is possible.

Btw, please smb enlighten me: I have formatted an SD with ext2/3 file system and SGS did not recognize it, returning error: SD card damaged or in an unknown format.

How can I format an SD in ext2/3 and to use it in SGS for large file transport? I believe I am missing smth, since lot of persons are talking about it. And yes, I did try to search a bit..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
K, you got me!

But, the point of my post was to point out the flaw of the video file thing. Believe it or not, there are a lot of people that do think 720P would look better than 480P on our phones. I remember a discussion with someone complaining that the SGS doesn't do 1080P. Now, the DNLA does make sense. But, as for the TV out, there is no hi-def tv out option available for our phones that I have seen tested. Samsung does have a microusb to hdmi, but I have not seen any proof that it is compatible with our phones.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ionutz6:
yes, you got a real point here. But rather than converting any >4GB 720p movie file, which takes time, I would rather prefer to copy it directly to my SD and see it from there with all the downsides that come with it.

So how do we do this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCeddy:
In order for me to have 32GB of useful space the internal 16 GB must also work with all file sizes.

If its not worth thinking about please don't fill the thread with your negativity, take it elsewhere.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nirvana388:
If you connect the phone to your pc in kies mode, you can put larger than 4gb files on the internal memory. When connected in this mode properly the phone will show up in My Computer under "other devices" as a GT-I9000. You can then open the phone and from there go into either the internal or external sd memory. When you copy a >4GB mkv movie over it will give you a warning "this media type may not be playable on the device" which you can ignore. The file is then split/transferred to the phone by the Kies background service. When it is finished it shows as one file but is really 2. It takes a bit of time as the transfer speed is slow (~8mbps) and it has to split the file as well. But considering Samsung put in drag and drop encoding that gets around the FAT32 limitations I'm pretty impressed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Don't forget to mention you need a special kernel to do that...

I've seen someone else mention they're using ext2 on their sdcard because the stock kernel supports it out of the box. (Was that you also?)

My question is, do you have to change the mount point in the bootup process?

It's something people need to know before they start this. Also, they should be aware that if they're not on *nix computer, they might have trouble mounting the sdcard to their computer if it's formatted to ext2/3/4.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unhelpful:
I'm actually using the Vibrant source release to build my Captivate kernels. They're about the same but many things are missing from the Captivate sources. The compiled kernels are quite different though - the two version are built with different configurations and have different files in initramfs.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
A couple of reasons

1) there isn't any 4 G coverage where I live and refuse to pay an extra 10 dollars for a service I'll never use. I'm in agreement with the folks behind explainthefee.com on that subject.

2) EVDO sucks here as well. 90% of the time I am on 1x instead of full EVDO.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
Thanks for the answers so far by the way. Has Samsung finally gone along with the rest of the Open Handset Alliance and standardized on their file system layout or is it still as screwy as the one on the Moment? ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mykenyc:
Oh okay i completely understand you, i got screwed by ATT thats why i'm switching, i thought sprint and verizon share towers virtually. i guess everyone have different experience i hope you have good one with ATT, but i'm sure you will :).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
They don't share towers, BUT you can install a VZW PRL file which force a sprint phone to use VZW towers. That helped me a little.

The main reason I moved to AT&T was Sprint's decision to not include Froyo on any of their older Android phones. The Hero, which now runs CM6 and the Moment, which has the same CPU as the moto droid, will get no further enhancements. I hated that. I was ready to jump to T-Mob and the Vibrant but the Amazon deal for a penny on the Captivate got me here.

AT&T is great here. I'm not in a major metro area, and that seems to be where AT&T fares the worst.

I don't think the "root" in the build details means you have a rooted phone - I believe it's because it was compiled by someone logged in as root on a computer at Samsung. Root on your phone is really just a matter of having the su command and the Superuser Permissions application.

Do you have that application? If you run a terminal emulator and type su, does it work?

I didn't try the su command also because I didn't have the the app in the list. Anyway this is very strange!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyxerakias:
Rooting your phone has nothing to do with that 'root@...' string. That is from the firmware developers, probably was there on the JF3 firmware you put on, or was given because you used the test mode.

Rooting your phone doesn't change that root@... or umts_scm@, it is absolutely irrelevant. Your phone is not rooted unless you did it yourself.

[Epic 4G General] kidstechno:
I reserved my Epic 4g at my local Sprint retail store, and while it comes out August 31st, my contract doesn't expire until October (Premier 1yr upgrade). Last time I came in they let me upgrade a month early and I was wondering if they would do the same in this case, or is that frowned upon without circumstances? Last time I upgraded from Blackberry to HTC Hero cause my Blackberry was wigging out. My Hero has a little chip on the end call button (cheap plastic crap) so maybe I could fuss that out of them? Any suggestions?
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Early upgrades are available depending on contract end dates. If you have a month left on your contract you can pay an extra $25 and get an early upgrade...
[Epic 4G General] remedy22:
Is your actual contract about to expire in a month or are you just eligible for a premier account upgrade in a month?

I'm on my 5th moment and its still being a pita to get the uprade pushed up. I am waiting on the decision of dan@sprint.com
[Epic 4G General] entropism:
If you're on a 1 year upgrade path, as the main line on a premier account, you won't get an early upgrade easily. Lightning has a better chance, to be honest...
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Not really....
[Epic 4G General] brandor:
If you're on your fifth (5th) Moment, then you should try calling in to tech support and not being rude..... You will most likely end up being transferred to MDE which is an advanced level of specialized support who , if it is in fact your 5th Moment and everything on your account is legit, could look to see what other devices are available to replace the Moment with. But you have to be willing to perform all of the steps of troubleshooting they ask you to and BE NICE!!!!!!

As for the topic at hand..... if you are going to complain about the chipped END button I hope you get nothing done for you. Sprint techs waste more time dealing with people calling in to get something for nothing than they do on any other task. If you chipped your END button, that's YOUR issue. Or if you honestly feel it is a defective device, hit up hTC before you go blaming Sprint and grow up, get a job, and buy your EVO in a month when you are eligible..... It's people like you that drive up cost of service because in order to provide somewhat decent service to people that need it they are having to hire countless support reps to take calls from people just like you!

[Epic 4G General] ravizzle:
I think chipped end button is very common, I have it myself and take very good care of my hero. However its cosmetic defect so I don't think they will do anything. My upgrade is oct 1st and ima try and go get early upgrade too. Last time I just asked nicely and they let me do it, so hopefully I get lucky again
[Epic 4G General] kidstechno:
wow umadbro? I was just stating a fact. I also have dust under my screen but luckily I'm not one of those anal retentive customers you think ties up your service lines. Both are wide spread issues with the device, and I take very very good care of my device. It's probably fallen off my bed stand once and maybe dropped once in the whole 9 or 10 months I've had it. Besides, I was just wondering what my chances were, even with adding the cosmetic damage. I've been with Sprint for 5 years and they've been nothing but good to me, so I figure I'd just go in to the store and ask nicely. If not, I can wait another month for the 1yr premier upgrade.
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Cosmetic damage means nothing, its labeled under wear and tear. After a few years your cars paint job isn't going to be so crisp anymore
[Epic 4G General] Mr.Muscles:
Im glad someone said something on here about getting an early upgrade. So my upgrade is October 1st, and i got to thinking. If i can get this phone faster i will. So i called sprint and asked if i could have my upgrade bumped up a month earlier so i could order the phone and have it shipped to my door. The lady told me that the only thing she could do is move my upgrade up to September 18th. She said with all the preorders and in store walkin reserves its gonna be hard to get one on launch day, but thats what they say about every new smartphone. So now all i have is to do is wait 22 days plus shipping and i'll have my new phone,

[Epic 4G General] xenx:
Back when the Evo was coming out, I talked to them about bumping up my upgrade. I only asked about the one line, but they bumped up both lines.

Did the store bump you or did someone from CS do that?

Yea if your contract is about to expire they might move it a month, I'm premier so its my 1 year upgrade so less flexibility since i still have a year left on contract

I did it over the phone. They bumped both lines forward 2 months. I renewed my 2 years las Oct, so definitely not at the end of the contract.
[Epic 4G General] bullet2300:
Good to know.. I am just at the 1 year mark on the line that I want the Epic in October. I will give CS a call again and see if I can get a rep who will bump me.

Did you do anything special or just ask and ye shall receive? If that's so, I might call Sprint Monday!
[Epic 4G General] ravizzle:
Im premier and I got only 2 weeks up by calling and they at first said they can't do it, I then they connected me to telesales and they did two weeks for me. Idk how the other guy got 2 months, he must have been far from upgrade or had some dope negotiating skillz
[Epic 4G General] xenx:
I'm premier. I have two lines. Primary was due Oct 1st and secondary was due Sept 1st. I called in June, when the Evo came out.

I didn't say or do anything special, other than be a normal level of nice. I just asked if there was any way at all they could bump it forward. I forget the exact path, but I believe I was sent to retentions. I never once said that I was going to leave, I just said I'd like to try whatever I can to get the upgrade.

They worked with me for a bit, and ultimately said they just cannot push it any further forward than 2 months. I couldn't get the Evo at that exact moment, so he documented both lines for the upgrade dates of July 1st and August 1st.

Spent a hour and a half on the phone with Sprint today getting transfered to at least 6 different people. The conclusion:

1. Some how everyone at Sprint has never heard of the Samsung Moment Data lock issue

2. I haven't had my phone replaced enough times to warrant an early upgrade, still need to have it replaced 4 more times.

3. If I want a phone that actually works I must either pay full price for a new one or cancel my contract and switch carriers.

So I am going to have to pay full price for the Epic on the 31st, just not thrilled about it.
