[Epic 4G Android Development] Aridon:
I haven't messed with DLNA yet. Looks like you can stream from the PC and other media devices fairly easily with "All Share" but I haven't had a chance to mess with it. Basic codec support is still significantly better than the EVO. No need for rock player. Although the music player is different than the Touchwiz 3.0 devices which should be updated with Froyo.

My battery life has been equal to my Evo. Maybe a little better.

There is no comparison with smoothness or in Camera / video taking quality. The Epic beats the EVO hands down and this was the big reason my evo is on Ebay right now. Hands down the Epic wins.

Keyboard is very nice. Swype is also nice (had it on my evo as well).

Screen is much better and brighter. It seem to be easier to clean as well for whatever reason.

The downsides?

Nothing major that I can see. Developer support should be good since the Galaxy S has been released on every carrier. Porting to the Epic should be trivial once the keyboard files are isolated.

Regardless, the EVO needs to be rooted to even be a decent phone. The Epic far less so. I've removed some of the crap ware and stopped some of the auto starting apps and that is about it. Thus far the Epic has been very good. It does have a fair bit of crap preinstalled but its easy to remove.

I do find the Epic's screen, while better than the Evo, does seem a bit high in contrast. Its still much better in all regards IMO but I do notice it. We might be able to adjust this at some point.

The side power button is something to get used to, not a huge deal but odd.

Having the micro usb port up top is a mixed thing as well. Its a little farther from the power source if you are on the device talking to if your cord is short it could be an issue. Otherwise its easier to hold IMO without the cord and such getting in the way when resting in your hand while surfing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fixter:
I think JuiceDefender is killing my battery.. :S I used it Yesterday without Root and old apps and I could swear the phone lasted the whole day.
[Epic 4G Android Development] PlankLongBeard:
That's perfect, I still need to hear if it gives errors in the DLNA playback. From TV 2 PS3 whichever anyone can confirm. I know the Evo has codec issues when playing video from it. Just wanted to be sure this was not an issue in it there.

Otherwise the camera quality yes is amazing on the epic. I dint get it the Evo is 8mp, err? Anyways I am happy, I am going to exchange my Evo from what it looks like. I guess I have to get used to not having sense anymore. Thats about it.

More would be great if anyone cares to share to a fellow Evo pondered mind?

[Epic 4G Android Development] Fixter:
Well. I'm gonna find a way to remove root. Since I am 100% sure its draining my battery and fast. It's either that or Juice Defender (Plotter) I took it out of the charger at 5 am, left it on my bed and when I checked on it 55 minutes later it was 94%.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sebrina:
Battery life is exactly the same, all we did was root there are no ROMs to install which could impact battery in a positive or negative way so far. Again all we did was gain super user permissions root does not impact battery life whatsoever.
[Epic 4G Android Development] khalaan:
My battery life appears to drain slower now that I've rooted, that probably is because I have SetCPU underclocking my phone to 200mhz when the screen is off so it won't waste battery. Also if you are draining quickly you can look in Settings> About Phone> Battery Usage as to what is using the most battery. A good chance if you have f.e. Live Wallpapers on or something is that they will drain your battery. Also depending on what you have enabled for email syncing, etc. that may play a role. I keep my phone signed into Google Talk + Google Sync + TouchDown Exchange syncing all day and seem to have no issue at all. (I was at 60% after a full day's use yesterday, and that included some foray into the world of 4G in the area.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fixter:
All of those settings are off. Email, Facebook, No LWP, no SetCPU. I really think its juice defender the culprit here. Cause it all happened when I restored my apps using Titanium Backup.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lv2bll:
When you restored did you restore the apps plus data or the apps by themselves? When you add the data in that can lead to problems because the data was for another phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fixter:
There isn't a backup in Titanium Backup of only apps. You can restore Apps with Data only.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MacrossActual:
Slow battery charging via USB after rooting? unplug the USB, go to settings and disable USB debugging. Plug the cable back in and select "Charging" from the pop-up.

problem solved. :)

i to have noticed significant drain after the one click root process... i have had my phone running for maby 4 hours off a full and with it in my pocket it can go dead.... doesnt happen all the time and i must say as well that the charging is extremely slow for me as well... hopefully there is a fix for this soon.. might have to do a restore and see if that helps.

been off the charger for for 12 hours and 12 minutes and I am at 41 percent
[Epic 4G Android Development] The_Real_D/\SH:
Ok i think i figured out the problem, i rerooted with the newest version and already noticed a difference since the splash screen is back again... to the op try to reroot with the updates from today
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Ummm... Yes you can. Open up Titanium Back up, press Menu -> Batch -> (Choose your restore function), then tap the radio button next to "App Only" instead of "App+Data". You can even just restore the data instead of the app! :)

How do I go about doing this... my wildfire is already root'd with the puzzle ROM... but I want to get rid of the default lock screen for good...

Any help would be appreciated.

[Wildfire General] dikamilo:
Just delete Rosie.apk from /system/app/ and restart phone.
[Wildfire General] HCDR.Jacob:
That won't remove the lockscreen, it will remove the Sense launcher.

You could remove HtcLockScreen.apk from /system/app, but you'd be left without a lockscreen as there are no others on the phone. Try lockscreen replacement apps on the market :)
[Wildfire General] MarcusLee:
yea,got that, but what seems to happen is the default lockscreen is shown first before the replacement pops up.
[Wildfire General] Phinxy:
Im borrowing your topic a little;

The Lock 2.0 app on the market does not support our screen, right?
[Wildfire General] MarcusLee:
I have widget locker but the problem is if I wake it up quickly after it has gone to sleep (and sometime even if I leave it a while) it shows the home and the default lock screen before the wigetlocker lock screen.

[General Questions and Answers] nolabowler:
hello all im new to android, but not to modding. i am having a problem getting the htc evo calendar widget on my dell streak. i have the at&t streak with the 2.1 O2 rom, and im rooted. I have tried every calendar and widget available for android on and off the market and NONE not even pure grid com close to the HTC one. so my question is how can i get that HTC calendar widget onto my dell streak? if anyone is successful i would be willing to donate a lil something as a thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] moxlon69:
I'm not sure if you are referring to the Sense UI calendar widget, but, the Sense widgets will only work on devices with the Sense UI. I may have understood incorrectly, but the Sense UI is apparently coded in such a way that it's hardware specific. it would have to come from a device with similar hardware to the device the particular version of sense came from.

In short, if you don't have Sense on the device in question, you can't run sense specific widgets.

If I'm wrong on any of this information, feel free to correct me. Still rather new to the world of androids.
[General Questions and Answers] Neo3D:
You're right, Sense widgets only work on Sense ROMs. Although, someone in the Evo forums was working on separating the tight coupling Sense widgets have with Sense ROMs. Look for the Mik ROMs, he talks about being able to do it but last I heard, he hasn't been able to do it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mxross:
Hello:

I have been reading the forums trying to gather information so I can root my DINC. Today, I got the prompt to update. I keep hitting later, but when I pulled my phone out of my purse earlier, the phone was restarting on its own and it downloaded the update file on its own I could have hit something while grabbing the phone, i suppose). It still prompts me to install System Update, and I keep hitting "Install Later"

I would like to root beforehand and then install the update and then root again afterwards.

I have downloaded the unrevoked3 but before I get started I have a few questions:

1. Does anyone know what the OTA update file is called and where it downloads to?

2. If I root now with unrevoked 3 and then do the unrevoked forever, will I still get the option to Install the stock update?

3. How big of an SD card do i need for the whole process? i currently have a 4gb card, will that be big enough?

4. Is it possible to keep some of my current data such as contacts, text messages and phone history when I do all the updates? I copied the contents of my SD card and the phone to my hard drive, and I don't mind installing the applications again, but I would like to keep all of my data

I will keep reading to find answers, but I am afraid the install will get done by mistake before I am ready and I was not sure what to search on to get the answers I am looking for. I found a guide by Dadicus for the rooting process:

(i can't post the link yet because I am new) It looks like it will be a good one for me to follow.

My end result is wifi hotspot and some extra customization options such as themes and whatnot. I would also like to try out some various roms.

Thank you in advance for any information that will help me get the process done.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crion629:
No. After you do the above, you will have to restore the stock ROM because Unrevoked3 installed Clockwork Mod. The OTA will not install unless you have the stock Recovery installed. There are topics all over the forums on how to do it.

Hey all. I was poking around in some of the other forums and came across this.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=769138

This launcher looks pretty cool to be honest. Not sure if others would be interested in it or not. It seems to have a few bugs and might even require 2.1 OS but im about to give it a try on my X10.

The features are cool, most especially being able to organize the app drawer. I previously owned an LG EVE and although the phone itself sucked with Android 1.5 the LG native features were pretty decent. Ill let everyone know if it works on our phones or not. One other X10 owner seemed unable to install it so its up in the air.

*edit*

So the Home selector apk will install but its useless as the Home apk itself will not. My guess is that its for Eclair and above as the Optimus Z runs on Eclair. Seeing as the 2.1 update is due this month im assuming no one is interested in trying to get it to work on 1.6. Maybe its not even possible...I dunno.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Bored God:
Yup, i tried it to. Was a no go. Guess we have to wait till we have atleast 2.1 . When is that happening by the way? Hear spain anounced it for end of September.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyrusman:
[Q] How do I use my Vibrant for gps and wifi while avoiding roaming related charges when in Canada or another country?

[A] this is the question I asked support at t-mobile. I got 2 answers, neither were completely correct. The problem is that you cannot block IMs and phone calls from reaching your mobile unless you go into airplane mode. (Note that you will receive charges for IMs and for calls you do not pick up as long as they register on your phone. This is what I was told by one rep. Other reo said that I should not be able to receive these since my account was not set up for international services, but as msgs and calls came in, I got worried.)

The short of it is this: for $20, I bought CoPilot off the android market and downloaded the North America maps. This app does not require data connection, and it works remarkably well. I then put the phone into air plane mode. After doing this, I enabled gps and wifi. This allowed me block all direct calls and IMs while retaining the ability the ability to use the phone for gps and for browsing when there was an available wifi network. (having a google voice account actual enabled me to send IMs when connected to a wifi network.)

It all worked so well, I am further considering dropping my data plan altogether since the places I typically use the internet are places with wifi (though perhaps I will wait until the 2.2 update is pushed.)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aphotix:
In terms of GPS, you are correct, you would have to purchase a third party GPS app for that (since google maps doesn't cache. Well it does, but if you find yourself lost after choosing a route and don't have wifi available then you are forced to turn on data so it can redownload your route, since it only caches your route and nearby streets.) To block incoming phone calls you just set up unconditional call forwarding (**21*18056377243# send) which will forward all of your calls to VoiceMail. The 1805 number can be replaced with your VM provider of choice (ie Google voice.) To undo, just dial ##21# and send. After that just disable data roaming and you are good.

In terms of stopping IM/SMS/MMS, just have care add message blocking (or better yet, go to your tmobile account and add it from there) its a free service that blocks all incoming or outgoing sms/mms/email as sms/IM. Sometimes the reps will just add the sms/mms block so you might want to add it yourself from the site.

Also if you purchased the vibrant on a contract then you can't remove your data.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Col.Kernel:
Or if you want to keep the FULL functionality of your phone while traveling internationally you could buy a prepaid SIM for a carrier in the country you're visiting.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SykesAT:
this ^^

If you did not want to get a SIM, you could just take your t-mo sim out. This way you could still use wifi, then use Google voice for texts and VM.

Since getting the Froyo 2.2 update I've had problems with flash. At first I thought it was my fault because I installed that half ass flash 10.1 for Android 2.1 and when 2.2 Froyo came out it conflicted with it to the point anytime I tried to use my sites atdhe.net and channelsurfing.net to watch sports the video would start to open and then the browser would crash. Someone told me to download the apk for the real Flash 10.1 and when I installed that it worked, but only temporarily for a couple days or so and then I'd have to install it again. This worked for a month then all of a sudden it didn't, so I did the clear storage and thinking that would take care of the problem with a clean slate. Well once again the flash worked for few days and then stopped.
