[Epic 4G General] TodStarrr:
I’ve been reading about Samsung/Sprint’s new Epic 4G smart phone and although the thing is technically impressive I’m a bit worried about the practicality of it. Its size is just as the name suggests, Epic. It’s WAY too big for your pocket, and even with the curved edges they introduced since the EVO there’s no way that having a brick in your pocket can be comfortable. Anyone disagree?
[Epic 4G General] JojoSteez:
I always thought it would be too big. I came from a palm pre and didn't go to the evo because of it's size. After seeing the announcement of the epic, I had to have it. It is not too big but big enough...fits perfectly in my pocket. I am loving this phone more and more everyday. The curved edges make it not so intrusive in your pocket...it doesn't poke out. Try one out...you will like it.
[Epic 4G General] knyque:
I was concerned with this as well, I had an HTC Touch Pro, which was about 3/4" shorter width & height, but it was slightly taller. I don't use a holster, they look to cumbersome for me, and I was always hitting it with my arm, so I got into the habit of having one pocket for my phone, and the other for keys, etc. The first time I put the Epic into my pocket, it felt right. Yes, it was bigger around, but because it was shorter, it made a big difference. The rounded corners also help with this.

Like JoioSteez said, try one out. I went to Best Buy and asked if I could put one in my pocket. This was the final selling point.
[Epic 4G General] zetterwing:
Not too big at all. The rounded corners help the design a lot. It is a bit thicker than I would like but even with a hard case on it it's still comfortable in my pocket. Unless you're into wearing skintight pants you'll be fine.
[Epic 4G General] jnadke:
I came from an HTC Touch xv6900.

Being able to hold the thing and put it in my pocket were big deal breakers for me not going to the HTC Evo 4G. A friend had it, and I did not like the feel of the device. It was bordering on Tablet territory (say what you will, the Dell Streak is a freakin tablet!). I'm the type of person that would put the Nexus One, Incredible, Desire, or iPhone4 as my ideal form factor.

The Epic is just as thick as my HTC xv6900, so that made the transition smoother. It's also only slightly wider, although a lot taller. I wear baggy jeans or tan slacks, so I find it fits wonderfully in my pocket. It helps that it's extremely light, lighter than the Evo. It probably wouldn't be comfortable if you wear new-age tight jeans. Normal non-baggy Levi's would probably work. If the device were any different (heavier, wider, thicker etc), it probably wouldn't work (I don't like the feel of the Touch Pro2, too thick), but Samsung definitely hit all the sweet spots on the design on this one. The biggest thing was making it light.

I put the Epic and Evo on top of each other at the store, the Epic is noticeably narrower (moreso than the 1/10" online quotes, I question that accuracy). I find this helps with comfort.
[Epic 4G General] surveysays:
before I got my epic I've been reading reviews and preview on it's size and yada yada. but honestly its not that big "as in too big" really. the screen size and phone size seem to fit the phone well. to say it has a full qwerty keyboard also is empressive to me. having the phone in my pocket is also not that big of an issue. yea you feel it, but after a while you dont even notice it unless you actually think about it.
[Epic 4G General] los1223:
I thought that before I bought the phone as well. But I'm going to have to say, it hasn't bothered me one bit since I got it. I came from a Hero which used to twist in my pocket so it looked like I was walking around with a ***** all day. I had to keep adjusting it. I don't have that problem with this phone. Maybe it's the size or the rounded edges, but when I put the Epic in my pocket tall wise (portrait style) it stays there. I had a Droid for a while and because of it's sharp corners that thing stuck out like a brick my your pocket. I would say the Epic isn't obtrusive in a pocket unless you wear skinny jeans, or are a girl wearing tight pants (but then, any phone would be an issue to hide.
[Epic 4G General] ldrn:
It's not *way* too big for pockets, in my experience, but it is just a hair below the top limit for me. I do wear fairly tight jeans, though. ;) I'd second all the advice to try it, with a more cautious tone; pictures don't do the Epic justice at all, the curved shape helps a heck of a lot, but it is still big -- and has a butt.

My last phone was the Pixi, though, so perhaps I was just spoiled? :) Regardless, I'd third all the advice to try it, first.
[Epic 4G General] Kelvala:
I am coming from the Hero and I don't think its bad at all. I wear baggy jeans and shorts and have put it both in my front and yes REAR pocket...

At RadioSmack I put the Evo in my pocket and it was NOT comfortable at all. Those round edges on the Epic sold it for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sackofnoise:
Hi, i have senn around some apps are using restriction for 3g only (like skype) and also the tv program for the bell vibrant. I were wondering, is there any way to "emulate" 3g over wifi? (making the phone think it is on 3g when it is actually only on wifi?).

Thank you very much
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
interesting question

it'll be nice to have some app that could do that
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sackofnoise:
So... anyone ever heard of such thing? Is it even possible?

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdjnk:
This is something I would love to find as well. Any leads are greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0097:
Skype works over WiFi.

I don't really understand what you mean. I use Skype on my Galaxy S and everything works over WiFi.

But if the app only work if you're online via 3G like Navigon Select (T-Mobile 3G network to check if you're really a T-Mobile user) than you can't emulate that because you must have an IP that were given you for 3G.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdjnk:
T-Mobile doesn't need you to have a T-Mobile 3G connection to know that you are a T-Mobile customer, at least not technically. The notion that it might be tied into their user verification system is a discouraging one, and I'll admit entirely possible, though I hadn't considered it.

Anyways, I was looking for 3G emulation for T-Mobile's visual voicemail, not Skype. Thanks for the info.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oDesk:
Would love to have this for Nexus S where Internet Calling(VOIP) requires Wifi into the Original System, but on Cyanogenmod it works over both Wifi+3G but i prefer to stay into Original OS plus having VOIP call over 3G

Alright, so I'm coming from cm 6 and I was using snap with it. But what I'm wondering, is what is the best kernel for fresh.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] admorris:
I'm running King's latest...#8 I think. Getting 53fps, 1250 Quadrant score with stock 998mhz speed. Seems good so far.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edufur:
If you want great battery and dont care about the fps cap, stick with the latest stock kernel thats built right into fresh.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damanrob:
best kernel for lastest fresh?

I am using the kernal that came with the rom and it seems to work just fine. i thought the claims on battery life might be over rated but can say that with moderate use i got 37 hours from 100% to 15%. Might try kings again but not sure if that would hurt that battery life.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edufur:
I promise you that the claims of improved battery life for the new HTC kernel are not overstated at all. In fact... there are no words to describe how much of an improvement it actually is. The theory follows that the other kernels will be re-optimized based on the new HTC kernel.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hungry ghandi:
As above, stock gets the best battery life. If you need the OC/FPS/etc you can try King's #8 (I had stability issues, personally) or #6 (worked like a charm). Currently I'm using the netarchy 4.1.9.1 beta. Battery life could be better IMO, but feels really snappy. LP looks too good @ >50 FPS for me to stick with stock.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dom085:
I have been running Fresh 3.2 with the built in kernel, but I've also been using SetCPU with a very low performance, battery friendly profile.

My question is whether I should be using SetCPU at all anymore, since I heard that this new kernel already supports throttling the CPU back when not in demand. I've been excited to test out how it effects my battery myself, but if someone has the answer, it would save me a week.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
Even if the stock kernel does scale down the voltage to the CPU, I think you would still need setCPU if you want to OC. However, the stock kernel probably does not support OCing. However, I think setCPU could still be beneficial for keeping the CPU running at minimum when the phone is in sleep mode. Then again, that feature could also be incorporated into the new HTC kernel for all we know.

Like someone else mentioned, Kings BFS #8 gave me stability issues, but #6 works fantastic in terms of performance and stability; not to mention, everything works on my phone as it should. I got 2 generic batteries and a charger from eBay for dirt cheap, so battery life if of little concern to me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swaydude:
Is there a kernel for fresh 3.2 with cifs support?

I found an app called APK Upload for root, it lets you backup your apks to an ftp server, but long-pressing on an app lets you uninstall it, i did it with moxier too.
[XPERIA X10 General] damirbusic:
Just use Titanium Backup, do not even read other solutions.
[XPERIA X10 General] ardf69:
X10Root has the option to remove without deleting so you can restore it if you want.

Ciao Angelo

Does titanium propperly remove the app? free up space etc or just disable it

[Touch CDMA General] cmlowe:
Hi,

I have an HTC Vogue/Touch that is missing the power button. The previous owner broke it. I was able to flash to a custom WM because the software forces it into bootloader mode.

However, I have flashed Android 2.2 to the phone and now want to revert to a custom WM or the stock WM 6.1 because Android is buggy. As far as I can tell from the forums the only way to flash back to a WM rom is by getting into bootloader mode (not possible with a busted power button) or through activesync (not possible with Android).

Any suggestions? I was thinking if I could run WM from the SD card that may be enough to get an activesync connection, but I haven't been able to find anything that suggests thats possible.

Thanks

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] art0rz:
There are no extended batteries that produce the same result as 3 stock batteries combined. Or even 2 combined. Best performence I've seen is a <50% increase in battery life (iirc). Your best bet is sticking with the 3 spare ones and swapping them out when they are empty. Extended batteries aren't particularly cheap either. You might also wanna try to change some settings that increase battery life, underclock your phone, or even install a custom ROM. Sense has been known to suck quite a bit of battery compared to stock Android ROMs.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
thats just not true, i can easy get 2-3 days of usage out of my 3200mAH mugen power battery, where as i only get 10-12 hours out of my stock htc battery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Ouch! You have really poor battery life!

I consider myself a reasonably heavy user, and I get get 30+ hours from my stock battery.

The problem with spare batteries is always going to be that you have to switch the phone off to change them - this is a pain.

When I travel, I use a Veho pebble which can charge my Desire around 3 times.

It's small enough and light enough that I can carry it around with me, and I can plug it into the phone and charge it whilst they are both in a jacket pocket.

Not playing a game for 5 hours for starters! :)

I use my phone for phone calls, web browsing, apps, and an hour or two of video a day, and I regularly chalk up 30+ hours. The only concession I make to battery life is I switch the phone to airplane mode overnight.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] System of a pWne!^:
If I don't use my Phone (it is also undervolted, underclocked and switches from 3G to 2G automatically if not in use for more than 10 minutes), it lasts around 3 days max (WiFi off). Normally it lasts 2 days with me phoning, writing messages, surfing a bit and having WiFi on in background.

But of course, if I use it excessively, it lasts only around a "workday".

Hi :) I have a xenarc car-audio device (touch screen monitor, rca/dvi/vga inputs, line in from pc, USB out to connect to pc 4 touch input).

Instead of buying a small pc and place it somewhere in the trunk with loads of cables, I could use the audio/video out from the SGS and stick with it.

The problem is... I'd like to use the touch screen on the xenarc! So, is there a way to put the phone in host mode and connect the touch screen? Or simply connect an external mouse? What would I need, I mean, would I need to code the driver myself or the feature is already present in the os?

The file you will have to search for in Google is evt2002web_min.exe. It contains both Embedded Visual C++ 3.0 and Embedded Basic 3.0

Microsoft provided this stuff gratis, but they have since pulled it from their site. Only EVC++ 4.0 is still available.

You still need an activation key to get it to install. MS posted it on the old site with the download.

It became common knowledge and can be be found here.
