[Epic 4G General] Kelvala:
Thanks guys. My biggest gripe with my Hero is a bit of "incoming call lag" and my FAT fingers!

I love the onscreen keyboard and the guessing it does is actually works really well. I used swipe but for some reason I ended up making a lot of corrections with it(BETA). I think the keyboard on the eipc might help my typing issues.

My Hero is rooted and OC'd a little but, I get about 2 days out of the battery and its basically a PERFECT fit in my pockets.

My concerns without seeing an EIPC....yet...is pocket size. I put the Evo in my back pocket and wow, the lady at the store said "yeah its not a back pocket, then sit down type phone...lol"

Anyways, looking forward to your mini-reviews! Thanks again guys! :D
[Epic 4G General] richse:
It's noticeably longer than the Hero, the width seems similar to me and it is actually a little thinner (except for the slight bulge at the top) so I don't think you will have a problem with size. I never thought the Hero could be a back pocket phone either. I usually carry it in my front pocket.
[Epic 4G General] Kelvala:
Believe me! When its in my back pocket, its an accident. I have money in my front left (change), when I drive my wifes van (smaller keys) I put them in my front right and then slip the phone in my back right pocket...then I'll accidentally take a seat, jump up, take my phone and out and check it real fast. its not a habit to put it back there, its purely accidental when the 3 kids distract me. :D

The lady at the Shack said she's seen Evos coming back for repairs from backpocket phone people and its not a pretty site :O
[Epic 4G General] rufflez2010:
I'm a convert, too. I love it. Great phone :)
[Epic 4G General] rawsoup:
I am a hero convert as well, it's tough with out root. but that'll come soon
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Who puts phones in their back pockets? That's about the dumbest thing i've ever heard

Anyways, im not geting the Epic but I do have a Hero and love it - can't wait to get my hands on a dual-core or Evo until then. The Epic is a beautiful phone, but I just can't deal with the bulkyness and keyboard. Working for Sprint though I don't know when the hell they'll allow us to upgrade and buy either of these phones lol - sure I can by it full price but why do that when our upgrades allow for an extra 20% discount
[Epic 4G General] rufflez2010:
You do know that the phone was rooted prior to launch and that there is a one-click root/unroot?
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
I'm from the Hero and I will never go back. This device is the bomb! And I will be jumping on board with CM6.1 developers in getting it ported to our phones
[XPERIA X2 General] Hosea Chandra:
Dear friends,

I've got the X2 for 1 month, and updated to MR2 as soon as i got the phone. Been happy with the quicker response, and rarely freeze. But after upgrade i found flaws that make me dissapointed :

1. In the middle of conversation, usually i have shortcut to Notes, so i can make notes while talking. Now the button is gone, replaced by much less useful dialpad. More strange, now there are 2 identical "end call" button : one is big , in the center of panel, one is small at the bottom of the screen. This is ridiculous. The only way i can get to Notes is to press Windows logo, go to main menu, scroll to Notes and press the icon. Thats way too long.

2. In the contact menu, i can only register 1 mobile number, 2 work numbers and 2 home numbers. So if the contact has 2 mobile number, only 1 can be assigned as Mobile Number, the other must go to Work or Home. The problem : if we open the contact, the only option to send SMS is to Mobile Number, not from work or home, despite it is really a cellular number. Apparently the software think the Work and Home number as a landline number. This is stupid. The only way to send SMS to work/home number is go to message menu, and press "add recipient", and so on. Why can't they make it from contact menu??

3. If i got a calling from unknown number (not from a Contact), usually i want to save the new number as a new contact or add to exsting contact. But i cannot do the second thing. I go to call history, choose the number, press the menu key, and all i get is "add to contacts", and it only allow me to save the number as new contact, but cannot add to existing contact. very annoying! i have to write it down in the paper, just like old days :(

I don't know if the above flaws happen because of the upgrade, or this is the new Windows 6.5.3 habit?? My old Ipaq 912 with Windows 6.1 can do all the above mentioned.

I feel very dissapointed...hope you guys can give me feedback?

Thanks for reading
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
1. Notes when calling is not in the menu anymore, I'm not sure if it's every WM 6.5.3 device. You have to go through main menu.

2. Adding contact works great when you enable the prompt asking you to add the number to your contacts after finishing conversation. In this case you're able to also add it to existing one.

3. Every WM, also 6.1 supports only 1 mobile number.

However when you create sms from your messaging, you can send the sms to ANY number you want.
[XPERIA X2 General] Hosea Chandra:
Thanks - and tips for LED problem

Thanks, appreciate your input. I have enabled the option to add number after conversation.

I personally think the Notes in calling mode, very useful. I have seen it in every new WM phones, including HTC and Samsung. Its pity they removed it on X2.

One more thing, about LED notification problem (which dont work when the phone enter standby mode /black screen), and the phone will not wake up when received SMS. I have simple solution, but there are sacrifices to made. here's how :

1. Disable the Auto Lock

2. In the backlight & power management menu, in the field "turn off backlight after....", fill 30 seconds or 1 minute, to save battery

in the field "turn off screen if not used for..." choose "never"

3. Dont' forget to set the illumination for SMS/MMS received as "no limit"; in the "sound and notification" menu.

4. (optional) Enable auto adjust backlight in the backlight & power management

Basically, we prebvent the phone to enter standy mode at all. This will reduce the battery life about 20%, but you will never miss a sms. Any sms will wake up the phone, the SMS sound will ring, the LED will light until you read the SMS.

Also, because the standby mode is connected to auto-lock, you cannot auto-lock the phone, that means you have to lock it manually everytime you finish use the phone. You can lock quicky by using SPB Shell, and create Lock shortcut in the front panel. Or in any mode, press "windows" logo on the left bottom, then you can see the lock button on the bottom screen.

Cheers!
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Personally I've never had a problem with smses.

My previous OS never showed anything besides the icon and sound alert for sms. I never liked my sms appearing on the homescreen.

Current behaviour is that it plays a sound and doesn't wake the device up. So it doesn't activate in the pocket.

You just wake the device and see the sms icon anyway so missing sms is not such a case.

If you set the sms sound as a quite short file, it will always play a sound.

At least it does in my case.

The $18 T-Mo case is the best silicon case I've found. Tacky and tight fitting. But expensive.

Has anyone tried this one from Amazon? It seems to look exactly like T-Mo's.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] greeced:
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I've tried searching everywhere including here and google with little to no result.

I'm coming from Windows Mobile 6.1 and you had the capability there to connect to Mass Storage or Windows Mobile Device Centre via Bluetooth.

For some reason each time I connect via bluetooth to my computer on the Galaxy S, it only allows me to connect it as a modem, which I don't want. I want it to connect the way Windows Mobile used to.

In other words, is there any way to connect the Galaxy S to the computer via bluetooth as a mass storage device or connect to kies via bluetooth?

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit if that matters.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tachikoma_kun:
I have tried this, and KIES gives you a pop-up asking if the device is BADA or Windows Mobile. It doesn't seem to support Android, much like the KIES marketplace, which also only stocks BADA and Windows Mobile applications.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] greeced:
Not sure if I'm understanding you correctly. Sorry

So do you mean you cannot connect a Samsung Galaxy S to Kies via Bluetooth?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tehpriest:
Search for the app "Bluetooth file transfer" in the market. It's a widget.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] greeced:
I know thats there, but would like to use kies with it, reason being i'd like to check if any firmware updates are available without having to pull out the USB cable all the time.

I won't update the phone via bluetooth, but would much prefer to see if an update is available via bluetooth first then and only then would I take out the cable to update.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tachikoma_kun:
Right, if you choose Bluetooth connection in KIES, it asks you if your phone is Windows Mobile or BADA, it doesn't support Android yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] greeced:
Ah ok.... I've read the guide and it does say to press a Connect Device Button at the top right of kies, but its simply not even there... not sure if they eliminated that option.

Oh well. thanks.

very quick and small review of the product somewhere in this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723233
[HD2 Accessories] jjones1983:
I actually have this product. It's not bad, but does add a large amount of "bulk" to the phone. It's not heavy at all. In my experience, it will give you about 60% of a charge when fully charged itself. Meaning if you turn it on when your battery is at around 10%, it'll jump to about 70%, and pretty quickly I might add. I wouldn't leave it in your pocket while it's running though as it does tend to heat up a bit.
[HD2 Accessories] jb2750:
Beware

I found them on ebay for $35 from a vendor in Hong Kong.Remember that if you have a dock it won't fit into it with the new battery cover,also I don't know of any phone cases for a phone with the larger battery door.Just an fyi.Also it is not T-Mobile branded.Do google search for htc hd2 battery and follow ebay result.(unable to post link)
[HD2 Accessories] jjones1983:
This product you're talking about is not what this thread is about at all. We're talking about a case that carries a battery charge that can be switched on and off and leaves the phone it's original state. And it IS T-mobile branded.

im confused, the website states "Compatible with T-Mobile HTC HD2 (not compatible with International version HD2)." however in the picture there is a european hd2. Any ideas?
[HD2 Accessories] BerMM:
I never noticed that. It certainly doesn't have the colored send and end keys of the TmoUS HD2. Given that one is taller than the other, I doubt this could fit both versions. My guess is that the photos are of a prototype or preproduction TmoUS HD2.
[HD2 Accessories] BodenM:
Really, it should be compatible with all versions! There is only a 1.5mm height difference (TMOUS is taller) , and in a hard case like this, it's not really going to matter, is it?

HTC Protective Cover with Battery Boost

I got mine at a franchised T-Mobile store for 50% off. Approx. $25

No instructions. Has switch on back to actually recharge internal battery from external battery. Indicator lights tell you external battery is fully charged. USB connection is pass thru for charging only (no Data). According to amazon it will NOT work on UK HD2.:mad:

I also found it at Amazon: Serach

"OEM T-Mobile Protective Cover w/ Battery Boost for HTC HD2"

or Part No: "SUPA33967"

I'll be using it while in the hospital while recovering from knee surgery.

Thats the question.

I have been reading their forum and tweets... and all i see is Vibrant here, Vibrant there... :( nothing for i9000?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
vibrant is i9000

unless you are refering to the USA version of vibrant which is SGH-T959
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damdeviousduck:
I'm sure for the purposes of the forums people refer to the us model as the vibrant the european model as the i9000 and the canadian vibrant model as i9000m... I read that somewhere in one of the sticky's. Therefore assume he would be talking about the european i9000
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mithent:
The Vibrant isn't exactly the same as the international I9000 (and is, in fact, an SGH T959). However, they are both Galaxy S series phones, and are both GSM. They have far more similarities than differences.

Once CyanogenMod is available for the Vibrant, I have little doubt that it will be ported to the international i9000 and the Captivate, at least.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katsuru:
i mean the european GT-I9000
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andrewwelton:
Cyanogen mod is coming, you can see them talking about it being ported on their forums now, and iirc the dev said that they are working on it.

If you know what you are doing you can even make your own version of it now (mind you its not fully functional and buggy)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LevitateJay:
There was recently a tweet from one of the main devs working on Cyanogen for Galaxy S saying that his work was only for the Vibrant model... So perhaps international users have to wait longer for a port once the vibrant version is released
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mithent:
Yes, the international/European i9000 is what I was talking about. You won't be able to directly install the Vibrant CM6 ROM, but I don't think it will take much to port it. These phones are very similar indeed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LostAlone:
I imagine that this would be because that particular dev only has a Vibrant to work on, and so that is where he can best do his work for the time being. Since the cyanogen guys have to work across a lot of different phones and don't turn much of a profit, I wouldn't say it is unreasonable to see an individual dev only pick up one SGS varient.

However, the vibrant is DEEPLY similar to the euro SGS, and I can't see why a Vibrant ROM would be so dissimilar to a euro ROM as to require anything more than testing and tweaking.

Basically, don't worry. I bet ya a pound to a penny that they will put out a full set of SGS ROMs rather than doing it piecemeal.

Hi to all, I got my GT-I9000 from Orange FR, and got this FW.

This Rom is fully themed by Orange, with custom Launcher, apps etc...

Even after installing Launcher Pro or ADW, can't change the default launcher app.

Succeeded to root it, but no way to flash the phone with another rom.

Download mode not working with home+vol down+power (only with adb reboot download)

Is there people in the same sh*t ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ffoo3d:
[phone now bricked]

So after many tries I succeeded to flash my phone with ODIN with R3 Paul Modaco (JP3) custom ROM.

After the flash process, the phone is booting with the Samsung bootanimation then the phone start to rumble one time, then the screen goes black with menu and back button highlighted, and the phone keeps rumbling time to time.

Bad news is that key combination VolUP or VolDown + Home + power do nothing. No recovery and no Download mode.

So I am totaly fuc*** or not ?
