[Epic 4G General] savior1974:
I just got my Epic a few hours ago, and my girlfriend noticed that there seems to be no stock Voice Recorder application. Unfortunately thats something that very important because she records her nursing lectures.

Am I missing it, or is there not one there. Also, if it is missing one, is there one in the market that works well, and that will work on the Epic?
[Epic 4G General] richse:
Why did you think the Epic came with a stock voice recorder? There are plenty of free voice recorders on the market. Did you really need to post this instead of just searching the market for "voice recorder"?
[Epic 4G General] savior1974:
I thought the Epic came with a voice recorder because the Evo I owned before came with one. I wasn't sure if it was called something else, or hidden in another app that I was unaware of. Also, I tried one in the Market called voice recorder and was having a few issues getting it to work on my Epic. All is fixed now, No need to get hostile.
[Epic 4G General] Vandam500:
Like he said, in the market there are dozens of them. No need to make a thread about it...
[Epic 4G General] cruiser771:
yikes, found this old thread while searching the same thing. /system/app shows an app called "sound recorder", but it wont launch.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Why does my hero have a native voice recorder and the epic doesnt? I understand how op is feeling. Looks like i still need to do some research on the epic.

I dont like downloading apps for basic functions, like caller id, calculator, vr, etc etc.

Atleast we no longer need to download an app to get mms working.
[Epic 4G General] jirafabo:
I'm in the same boat. All Android have a stock built in RECORDER because you can send voice messages to people. Unfortunately, I think since 2.1 or so, they stopped giving you access to it as if it were an app. Also unfortunately, most the apps in the market suck at doing such a simple thing. I use a recorder about 5x daily, and since I lost the native app, I've been dissappointed.

ROMs for Epic?

This is very helpful... but it seems to be copied/pasted from the vibrant... are there ROMs for the Epic?
[Epic 4G General] s15274n:
^ you are kidding right? I started this off by saying I did this for the Vibrant and was sharing in an effort to get someone to cater it to the Epic... It's helped a lot of people for the Vibrant.
[Epic 4G General] lithid-cm:
Stock Google Calenders work on the epic. when taken from N1 5.0.8 CM Rom. Just as the Vibrant post specified.

[Epic 4G General] nullkill:
/\ Sounds like you need to get Super User permissions. Even if you have root access you still need to give whatever program you are using SU privilege. Just go to the market and search super user and download a free one.

Notification Vibrations

Is there a way to modify how long the notifications are vibrating [when the phone is set on Vibrate only]. When i'm in class the phone's vibration is annoyingly loud. I just want to be able to shorten the vibration or at least turn down the intensity.

I have the Samsung Epic 4G for Sprint.

[Vibrant General] sdzienge:
In an effort to get back to stock I took things a step too far and now have a phone that won't power on. I had successfully rooted the phone and installed Rom Manager and flashed the clockwork recovery and immediately created a nandroid backup. Sometime later my phone started acting funny... usb connected/disconnected events when it was not plugged in, crashes, etc. I felt confident that this was a hardware issue (started after my daughter chewed on it when I wasn't looking). Anyway, I followed the instructions here in the dev forum (True Stock 2.1 firmware for vibrant) for the vibrant to get back to stock ( I apparently can't post the link because I'm new...) . So that I'd be able to try and get it replaced. I kept noticing that no matter how hard I tried clockwork was still installed... then I did the bad thing. I should have known better, but I made the rookie mistake and deleted the clockwork folder from the internal flash. I don't know what possessed me to do it, but I did. Since then the phone doesn't seem to boot. I can get it into download mode to flash images from odin (battery out, battery in, volume up + volume down, connect usb and download comes on). And after a successful download it seems to restart ok. But if it crashes (which it is now prone to do) or is powered off it won't boot after that. Worse I can't get to the stock recovery either.

I'm hoping that someone who has a nice rooted stock phone with clockwork installed can just help me get a copy of that folder back and everything will be fine... if not I may just have to see if playing dumb with tmobile will get the phone replaced as is...

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Vibrant General] ttabbal:
Are you talking about stuff in /sdcard? If so, that won't effect the boot. You could delete everything in there and not change anything. Some apps might not work as you will have deleted their data, but if you're flashing a stock ROM with Odin, that's fine.

Enable debug mode in the settings and use "adb reboot recovery" at a command prompt. That should get you to the stock recovery. Try a factory reset from there, that might help. If not, delete anything in /sdcard that's not supposed to be there and swap with TMobile as it sounds a hardware issue at that point. Don't forget to keep your external SD card if you've replaced it.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
Is USB debugging on?

When you get the phone up, can you connect to it via ADB and then adb reboot recovery or adb reboot download?
[Vibrant General] sdzienge:
Thanks for the suggestions. I did get the sdk installed and used adb to reboot into normal recovery, so it's not completely boned. Since I could use adb for resets I went ahead and followed the rooting process again and reflashed clockwork. The phone still won't boot on it's own. I'm starting to think whatever was going south with the hardware has continued to get worse. I'm going to use odin to get back to "true stock" again and try to use adb to reboot into recovery and do a factory reset suggested above and see if that helps.

Thanks again.
[Vibrant General] sdzienge:
I went back to stock with odin, ran the factory reset, and still can't power up normally or into recovery. I can get into download though, load with odin, come up normally after the reset. I'm going to try giving it back to Tmobile in it's refusing to power up state and see if I can get them to swap it. It's as stock as I can make it so the problem should not be mine.

Thanks again for the help.

Using XP SP3

When I plug my phone into the USB cable, I can choose between MS ActiveSync, Disk Drive, Internet Sharing. Disk Drive works as it should be ActiveSync will never see my phone. Any advice on how to establish a connection?

--------------

SOLVED!

Under connections, USB to PC, I unchecked the box Enable faster data synchronization that is under ActiveSync option. For whatever reason, that did the trick.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] daveknoop:
First time you connect for acive sync?

Try this:

Go to all your settings and then "connections" --> USB to PC and there can you choice between ActiveSync, Disk Drive and Internet sharing.

Nou by ActiveSync stays also "Enable faster data synchronization" And that must turn off by unselect the box.

Good luck
[Desire General] Chad_Petree:
why wasnt it included? this gallery is way cooler than stock android or htc sense gallery :mad:
[Desire General] tudork:
probably not the right place to ask, but I noticed that in 3d gallery you cannot share a photo through MMS, while in the regular Desire gallery you can. In 3d gallery, the share menu does not have as an option share through messaging. Is this true or is there something wrong with mine?

thanks!
[Desire General] xfile087:
Well I'm running CM6 on my Desire with 3D gallery and I can share via MMS from the gallery no problem

and also to OP: I don't know why they didn't include it but I don't see it as too much of a problem as it is easily installed :)
[Desire General] Chad_Petree:
its because if htc includes it , its highly likely that it will work better , less buggy, and more responsive, can u post the file youre using?
[Desire General] AndroHero:
its because the 3D Gallery is a nexus one app, not a htc app lol here is the apk you can install it normally, also this is the version called Gallery 3D not just gallery so it dosent clash with the native htc gallery app :)

Guys,

Can advise me accordingly, thanks.
[XPERIA X10 General] chongbh:
Guys,

What is the difference between R2BA026 with R2BA020? Is R2BA020 belong to UK Generic ROM? What about R2BA026?
[XPERIA X10 General] chongbh:
Anyone to help me? Any difference in the selection of network for R2BA020 and R2BA026?
[XPERIA X10 General] hush66:
There should be no need to go back to stock when the update arrives. You should be able to plug into SEUS and update. You will then lose root, and have to root again.
[XPERIA X10 General] chongbh:
Brother, thanks for your reply. Are you on R2BA026 also? I notice my reception is very bad compared to R2BA020 and this evening, I have no connection to the internet at all.

I have had my Droid X for a little over a month now, and have become extremely familiar with it by myself and by the help over at Droid X Forums.

I am wondering if there are any guides (Official or otherwise) that I can use to become an official member of xda developers, and begin contributing fully to the Android Community. (Not to meantion getting passed the eFuse...)

If anyone know of ANY RELIABLE developer guides, that would be awesome.

(Also, on a side note, go check out Droid X Forums if you got a Droid X and tell them hollywood sent you. :))

Thank you guys so much for all the assistance and I hope to be an amazing contributor in the near future!

[Epic 4G General] herbthehammer:
I wonder if this whole gpu whatever works only for apps that have code for it or not. I have played a lot of hyper jump on the evo and it pretty much hauled ass. On the epic, it is noticably slower. Could this be because these phones are 2.1 and I am judging it against 2.2?
[Epic 4G General] xenx:
If I had to guess, that game is largely (or completely) cpu driven. If that's the case, then it would make sense the 2.2 Evo would do better than 2.1 Epic.
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
NOVA, Dungeon Hunter, all racing games, skies of glory, crusade of destiny, exzues, and toonwarz ALL run noticeably faster on my EPIC than my EVO. It's so smooth it's insane. Some of the above games were pretty choppy on the EVO. But nothing was unplayable except toonwarz...

I haven't tried hyper jump on my EPIC yet. For the most part, everything runs the same except games that push the hardware a little more. Maybe now that we have powerful phones, we'll start seeing more interesting games. Can't push the hardware until you have hardware to push...
[Epic 4G General] shep211:
I had a evo and have a captivate & epic. In benchmarks the sgs's get higher fps but until games get made for the sgs gpu you want really see a deference in playing games.
[Epic 4G General] crazaytalent:
kool.... where can I get some of these games please!
[Epic 4G General] touchemupent:
Im rooted in my Evo. Running all the 3d games and pulling 54 fps. Smooth like butter with no lag.
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
Um... how are you recording the FPS you get in these games? Or are you quoting the FPS you get from the app that bounces a 2D ball across your screen.....
[Epic 4G General] smashpunks:
Weird. I have a nexus which plays games about the same as the evo and my sgs kickes its but in games. Its like night and day. Look at some YouTube videos where the sgs goes against droidx, evo and n1 and it makes em all look like junk. I never had a evo so I can't say about that other than the YouTube videos ive seen and they look a lot better on the sgs.
[Epic 4G General] touchemupent:
I did use the app fps2d. I ran Linpack and got the highest rating on the top rated website. Via the app.(Edub) also ran the games from Polarbit and Gameloft with 2.1 2.2 and rooted. They all lagged a bit but the Bakedsnack Rom i have took care of all that.
[Epic 4G General] herbthehammer:
I suppose I could dl the stock rooted 2.1 rom for evo and flash it then run the game and see if there's any difference. That way, at least they'd both be running eclair.
[Epic 4G General] ImSoHungry:
My epic is blazing through Final Fantasy VII, no lag.
[Epic 4G General] smashpunks:
Now, that fps2d, isnt that 2d not 3d? If im not mistaken the 2d are pretty close on all the devices but the 3d is where the SGS whips arse?

I just dont see how the evo can score as high as the sgs on a graphics test unless its only recording the 2d. That test is just a ball bouncing on the screen. I dont think thats a good app to be saying your evo gets 50+ frames per second on graphics test.

edit: ok so I checked out the fps2d and it only scores 2d not 3d. So any games that utilize more 3g like asphalt 5, Nova, Modern combat etc wont be effected by a 2d score of 50+fps. There not the same thing. Your game play on games like pong, and maybe DOODLE jump will be just as good, but that 2d score isnt the same as 3d. This is where the SGS excells. It kicks the crap out of the EVO on 3g benchmarks.

Just wanted to clear that up for people thinking that your scoring 50+ fps on 3d games like you quoted on a EVO. Thats not true. Your scoring 50+fps on 2d games.....

Heres a test. Download Speed forge from the market. I believe there is a lite version. In that game there is a FPS option. While your playing the game its detecting your FPS, I just dont see the evo being at 57 fps on 3d like the sgs. SO, grab that game, run it on the EVO and whats your real 3d FPS?
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
It can't. The EVO is one of the worst "high end" phones when it comes to 3d benchmarks. Almost always slower than the nexus one.

It doesn't. This guy is very confused. Linpack doesn't really equate to real world performance either. With Froyo and CM6 or whatever other rom you're using... your EVO will never be as fast as the Epic.

Try running nenamark1, GL benchmark 2.0, and neocore. Let us know what you get there..... and we'll let you know how much our Epic destroys you.
[Epic 4G General] smashpunks:
exactly...... DESTROYYYYYS. My buddy benchmarked his evo with those. If I remember correctly he got. 12.5 fps on neno mark1 I got 44 fps on my vibrant, and on Neocore he got I believe 26fps and I scored 55.7 and I dont remember the GL score but I destroyed that as well.
[Epic 4G General] touchemupent:
I will download and post results today. One question though. Why does the Evo run all the games now with my current Rom with absolutely no lag and wouldnt run correctly with ota? All my apps work even 4g, cameras no force closes. The games seem to perform better with the rom vs the graphics card not taking anything from the Epic.
[Epic 4G General] smashpunks:
I had a nexus with easily the same game quality as the evo. I never thought games lagged either and its not really that they lag but after you experience it on a device with 3 times the graphical power and lime twice the framerate you can totally see the difference compared to the sgs.

Watch the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtube_gdata_player&v=cl4p5JI0-gQ the sgs clearly beats the evo in the asphalt at the end of the video. Its not that the evo is bad, its just not like the sgs.

[Epic 4G General] captblaze:
The EVO will not go past 30 fps in 3d. So yes the Galaxy S series phone an edge there. I particularly don't game on my phone, so no loss for me. One thing I do is use my phone outdoors and my EVO is more visible in bright light than my wife's Epic.

So depending on what each user deems important either device can shine over the other

[Epic 4G General] greengoldmello:
Lol. More like on certain things (benchmarks) i wont hit 30fps at all..but the S will..
[Epic 4G General] Aridon:
My results are totally different. My Epic is far more visible in direct sun light that my evo. Both with max brightness on.

Different strokes for different folks though.
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
I'm experiencing the same. My Epic seems to adjust the brightness once outside and is so much more viewable than my EVO. I think I have a different sun than some of you.
