[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sturmie:
i have the 3.2 ROM (donated a while back), but i have a question about wiping the battery stats...is it worth it? if so, what's the best method for wiping - charge to 100%, wipe stats and let it drain all the way down?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dadoc04:
yes indeed!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlovely:
just donated, looking forward to the release but the reason i donated is because i've used the previous fresh GA rom's and it's nice to help a guy out who puts in so much time and effort. i wish my company had guys who had this much dedication :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurtwoodfin:
Just Donated

Once you donate, how do you download the ROM? I did not see a link after the donating process. As for others, please donate and support flipz.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pscalett:
I'm still new to all of this and recently rooted my 2.2 phone using the root method here in the development section. So, my question is... How would I go about getting Fresh's ROM on my EVO after rooting and using the Clockwork recovery? Again, sorry for the super noob question...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgaf98:
Yeah FLIPZ is awesome!

huh??? what......
[Epic 4G General] nicknomo:
This is the only thing stopping me from getting this phone.. I'm trying to determine how wide spread the issue is. I figured a poll was the best way to see how wide spread the issue was, and whether its worth it to shop around to try and find a working phone
[Epic 4G General] FoxRacR17:
Mine seems to work fine :) Its not as sensitive as say my girlfriends Incredible buttons, the ones on the Epic seem to work more like physical buttons but they aren't. You have to use a little force for it to recognize and I actually prefer that because I always found myself coincidently hitting the buttons on my girlfriends Incredible when i didn't mean to/meant to press another button
[Epic 4G General] crake001:
It is really a non issue for me. Haven't noticed it.
[Epic 4G General] nicknomo:
I think if you used one of the defective phones, it would have been obvious.. All the other buttons worked without issue. The back button on the one I tried wouldn't register no matter how hard or how long you pressed it - some times. Some times it would register for a light little hit, other times I'd be pressing down pretty hard and nothing. By the second or third time, you'd feel the feedback buzz (which was pretty cool), and it would actually work..

It was sort of funny, the rep who was trying to sell me the phone started off to try and down play it and say "I'd just have to get used to it"... until I gave it to him. In the end, he agreed there was something wrong.

I didn't want to make the guy try other phones because I was planning on purchasing the phone from my business' phone retailer... It would have been sort of wrong to make the guy go through 3 phones and just leave if I found one that worked..

Not sure if it matters, but what state are you guys in? I'd imagine that similar batches ship to the same region.. I'm in LI, NY
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
Absolutely never had a problem with the backbutton.

All 4 of my capacative buttons work with light taps AND full presses.

Its hard to tell wherethe buttons are when the lights time out, and you have to hit the button in the right spot for it to register. My nexus was the same with its capacatives.

[Epic 4G General] lithid-cm:
While I don't think there is an issue with the buttons persay. I was doing some testing and seems there might be some "lag" I was having this issue more with the home button at times. One time after i knew i clicked it i let is sit. took a few seconds but continued to do its thing... So maybe its the same with the back button as well. Next time after you click it once let is sit and see if it proceeds.. that way we know its a lag issue vs button issue. A lag issue would be easier to fix I would think.
[Epic 4G General] asiana_jones:
First of all NeonMonster, thank you for being awesome with the Nexus One back in the day of rooting it and changing things! Haha.

Secondly,

I had a defective Epic 4G. The back button was the worst of the bunch. I would have to hit it 10-15 times to get it to work. But it wasn't the only faulty button. All of the capactive buttons seemed to falter just about anytime I went to use them.

I went to Sprint the next day and explained the problem and she said I was the first to bring it to their attention. But long story short, she exchanged it and the buttoms work perfectly. There aren't as sensitive as say the EVO or Incredible but they work as intended and the phone I once thought was hopeless and I hated, is now a phone I'm contemplating keeping.

So there are definitely defective devices out there but it is as simple as going in and getting a replacement.

Thanks for everything you guys do!

:D
[Epic 4G General] tbobaggins:
I picked my Epic on launch day and all was well..my brother on the other hand just got one this afternoon and after we got it activated i hvae noticed his has this same problem.
[Epic 4G General] nicknomo:
I didn't notice any lag... Again, I think if you have a defective phone, it would be obvious. A press just didn't register, even if you'd wait..
[Epic 4G General] asiana_jones:
Yeah, there isn't a lag. It just straight up does not register any contact. You have a defective phone. I took mine back and got a new one and it works EXACTLY like it should. Night and Day!
[Epic 4G General] Hill-:
Buttons work great. :)
[Epic 4G General] tricex2:
I bought the cheap screen protecter at RS and had it put on in store, my button presses were instant. When I got home and decided I didn't like or really need the screen protector, I took it off and then my button presses didn't register as smoothly may be a quick fix for some that want to use a screen protector.
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
Aww from the nexus forum?? That was such a fun time! The nexus is truly a phone meant to be rooted. kinda miss that thing but the keyboard on the epic is too good.

But yes, there will always be phones that are defective and need to be replaced.
[Epic 4G General] mlee0921:
yeah i noticed some lag on mine. i also tripped out when then home and menu buttons were switched (compared to the evo) and kept pressing the wrong buttons.
[Epic 4G General] nicknomo:
its looking like a 50/50 so far on getting a phone without tis problem :-\
[Epic 4G General] jnadke:
That logic doesn't work.

1. Most people that don't have the problem won't vote.

2. Remove the people on the last option and it's 70/30 (at the time I write this).
[Epic 4G General] nicknomo:
You might be right with #1 (I don't know), but as for #2 it is 15-14 for people who are and aren't having some sort of problem with the back button (or other buttons)..

I do agree that this is far from scientific, as people who have never used the phone are likely to be voting..
[Epic 4G General] javahead76:
Only read because I had the issue

Yep. I think you might just skip over this thread all together unless you've had the issue. Personally, I got one phone with the issue, exchanged it, and got another with the same problem - although not as bad as the first. However, I haven't returned the second one yet and the problem seems to have gone away. I'm not sure exactly how these buttons are engineered, but I'm wondering if more people with this problem will simply see it go away. FYI: the first phone I had was getting better but it started out as more of a 70% fail/only work with hard mashing.
[Epic 4G General] Tbtltdts:
My back button has a mind of its own :-( it presses itself when it wants to. Very annoying.

[Epic 4G General] jarnail24:
My first phone didn't have a working 4g radio. The second had this problem and it is very annoying if your used to a working button I returned it to radio shack. My third phone is perfect in every way.(hardware wise) this was all in the first week of the phone release. I would deffinetly go back and return it.
[Epic 4G General] dito33:
If I ever hated this phone is the back button it bothers me so much until got replaced. Second one was good till start acting again now the third one works like a charm still I like my evo responsiveness vs epic.
[Epic 4G General] jalope:
back button spontaneously presses

My son tells me occasionally his Samsung Epic back button repeatedly presses itself. When it has its fits it is not usable since phone backs out of apps he happens to be using. Overall he still likes the phone a lot so I guess the back button is not a huge downer.
[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
No problem for me. Screen is sensitive only time it skips or anything, it's cause I'm sweating, moisture does big it out. Other than that its a champ

[Epic 4G General] jerbeck24:
I am on my 3rd Epic and none of them had this problem...
[Epic 4G General] JulianUF:
My first Epic had no issues, was perfect, until the sound died and I had to get it swapped for a new one.

The new one had this problem. The back button would hardly ever register with a light tap, and it irritated me. Went back to the Sprint store, and I believe they replaced the screen or something. Been working fine since then.
[Epic 4G General] SINNN:
Mines is ok. not the best thou. Sometimes it does register, other times I have to tap it 2 times. I noticed it does work 100% if you tap it right dead center of the icon.
[Epic 4G General] mi7chy:
Had the back button unresponsiveness when I bought the Epic upon launch. After a few months of ownership the local Sprint store replaced the screen and it's been fine since.
[Epic 4G General] dennistpm:
Am I the only one who wants to see a picture? ;)

But seriously, no problems with the buttons. For those who have trouble hunting for the buttons, I just use the word Samsung for my frame of reference. Below the SA is the "Home" key, and below the NG is the "Back" key.
[Epic 4G General] budderocks:
My back button has some lag to it...doesn't matter what ROM I am running. I was going to return it and get a new one, but after a while I realized I actually liked it that way. There are times that my fat fingers hit it accidently, and it is at those times I am glad. I am certain that I would be frustrated more often by accidental back button presses than I occasionally get from the lag.
[Epic 4G General] enispenvy:
the only thing that really upsets me about this phone is how power + volume down silences media. i have to unlock the phone to change songs on pandora and about 1/3 of the time (much better at this now) i accidentally silence it. very annoying
[Epic 4G General] SantiMun:
Something is definitely up with the buttons

I thought it was normal until I tried out a friends HTC Incredible and was shocked how much more responsive the buttons were. Its not a deal breaker but it can get annoying especially now that I know how much more sensitive the Incredible buttons are.
[Epic 4G General] ultra78721:
The first Epic in hand,had this issue.

I returned it for a second one and never looked back:cool:

[Epic 4G General] PokeAsheep:
I had issues with the first epic I hd, back button never worked... not once, mash, light press, long press, nothing. Took it back and had to physically get the bestbuy guy to use it.

Now my back button works most of the time but the haptic feedback never works <.< So yeah.

Epic is as Epic does
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
My first Epic the response time on all the buttons was lagging, but this one has been fast and crisp. I do have on a rare occasion though where it seems the back button is locked or something so whenever I'd open something it would immediately close, but hitting the button would remedy it.
[Epic 4G General] themirthfulswami:
My menu button is the only one that's finicky for me. Others all seem to work fine but I always have to use a slight bit of force for my menu button to trigger reliably.
[Epic 4G General] redram38:
My first Epic it was a HUGE problem, my second not at all, my third it is about 50/50. I bricked the second one not reading well enough trying to do Ext 4.
[Epic 4G General] stud_muffler:
Not rooted, stock Epic - everything works fine from day one (Sept.2nd, 2010).

:cool:
[Epic 4G General] MaxPatlick:
I have had problems with some apps causing the phone to be less than responsive, but never a problem with the buttons themselves. Like, the button will blink because it knows that it's been pressed but nothing happens because some process is busy ****ing my phone from the inside.. I don't blame the button for that.
[Epic 4G General] cohiba_man:
I had a silly screen protector on my phone for awhile and once I peeled it off and threw it in the trash, I noticed that the responsiveness of the capacitative buttons was much improved. Also, the back button seems to like a good full thumb press as opposed to a finger tip.... just my thoughts.
[Epic 4G General] Nolonolon:

That's how it is for me. Though this has only been since I dropped it about 4 times...Don't ask. And since I upgraded to 2.2 unofficial. Though I didn't have 2.1 that long so I can't say that I would know if it was that way or not prior too. So today when I change this mod around. Hopefully we'll see if that helps ?

[Desire General] GANJDROID:
Hey all.

Out of nowhere this strange icon appeared, and stayed there for about 20 mins never to be seen again. I've never seen it anywhere before.

Anyone know what it is?
[Desire General] ozy944:
Could it be:

- call hold (my moneys on this)

- flight mode
[Desire General] GANJDROID:
Flight mode - plane mode? That dissables signal totally, and I had signal. As for the call on hold, that'd be on the left of the status bar. This was a permanent icon amongst the right side.
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
Let me have a stab at this...

I think it's the icon denoting your phone microphone is mute.

To test, make a call and then tap on the mute button. See if the mysterious icon appears...
[Desire General] streetdaddy:
To me it looks like 'Phone is bricked' ... but that would make no sense ;)
[Desire General] Ik Desire:
LOL. That would be a great black icon all across the screen.

Thats icon for TTY-telephone typewriter mode

aka text phone.

Simple way to tell me ;)

How on earth would I have started that? My phone was left in my pocket. Max of 5 mins of sitting in the car before I checked and that was there.

Looks like a nice start!

Not really digging the square launcher button though. The large dark black square in the middle offsets the smaller round/transparent bubble icons.

I saw the video quality capture and it stunned me vs the Evo in playback. Either on screen or on the TV. It's amazing to be honest. So.. this is another addition that makes me want this more.

When does it release? I'd be willing to test.. if it helps. :)

Well, in crake's defense, he does more QA on his work than Samsung and Sprint do so if he finds a bug, he'll be spending time fixing it before he releases it.
[Epic 4G Themes] crake001:
Just an update for everyone I am still planning on releasing this soon. My main reason for not releasing what I had last week was there was no easy way to apply this theme. What I do have is the framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, settings.apk, and themed adwlauncher.apk. All nearly complete. I installed in a "bad" manner, by replacing the files while they were being used, i.e. the phone was on. Mounted, then copied over, I have done it numerous times and it hasn't caused any problems besides after you copy over the old frameworks, the phone freezes, goes black, resumes after a minute with the new files. The plan is to install clockwork and try successfully flashing these, but I'm not sure how that is working at the moment. Hopefully it is just a matter of including a meta-inf and applying .zip like usual. Anyways, until I do that if any of you want the files as is right now just for something in the mean time I could upload them. They are not 100% complete, more like 97% but I have no problem releasing the edited .apk's to those who know what to do with them and understand the risks.
