[Epic 4G General] stud_muffler:
Hi,

I got mine Epic on Sept.2nd and so far I have noticed that the battery life depends on what you do.

On the days when I was busy with my regular staff and did not pay attention to my phone more then checking email, few text msgs, some web surfing, listening music and light game play (while waiting in the restaurant) it (battery) lasted for 12 hrs from full charge. :)

On the day when I was in the office and turned 4G on (yeh, they turned in on in the Rhode Island!) battery lasted less then 4 hrs and kept loosing juice even when I plugged it into the USB charger. All I have say to that is WTF! :eek:

Using Wi-Fi and playng games also cause extended battery use. ;)

Have to note that the sales person, who sold me the phone, installed Automatic Task Killer application for me which seems to be doing it's job

:cool:
[Epic 4G General] jim_1984:
I came from the iPhone after three years (I had the original, the 3G, and the 3GS). I had the EVO for a week to try it out, and then returned it and waited all summer for the Epic.

I really like it, but I kind of wish Sprint had a Galaxy S device that was more a clone of the... Galaxy S.

The iPhone was sleek and solid, and I used it with a case that made it a bit bulkier and heavier. Which was fine. But I don't really see the urgent need for keyboards on app phones nowadays. I was very fast and efficient typing on my iPhone (the text prediction on that keyboard is awesome, and I'm surprised to find that it's way better than the Android software keyboards I've tried). I'm about as fast, if not faster, with Swype, and I've only been using it less than a week. It's not really the bulkiness of the keyboard that bothers me, it's the lack of solidness it gives the phone.

When I click the button to lock or unlock it, the sliding mechanism separates a bit. It's very annoying and lacks that solid feel that the iPhone or EVO had. But other than that, it's a great phone. It's fast, got a great display, the battery life is much better than the EVO's, and it's light. I just wish it had more of a "solid" feel.

(I thought about switching to the EVO, but the lackluster graphics chip, the artificial capping of graphics output to 30fps, only decent performance out of the processor, and crappy battery life are non-starters.)
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
what is it about froyo that makes you want to ditch the epic?
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
Haven't you heard? When you turn on your phone with Froyo installed Rainbows and Unicorns fly out of the screen.
[Epic 4G General] thomasskull666:
Ok well first of all, when you aren't using 4G, turn it off to save battery. Having WiFi, GPS, 4G and Bluetooth running when all you need is GPS in a non-4G area is extremely stupid. Moral of the story is when you aren't using it, TURN IT OFF! Also, the stock USB cord from Samsung is terrible, so invest in a new one asap. Plugging the usb cord into a usb socket will only trickle charge your device, so I would suggest plugging into the wall charger that came with your phone as it will charge MUCH faster and you can still use it while it is charging without it going down significantly.

People complaining about lack of ROMs and what-not, take a look around. There are already plenty of options out there and this phone has only been available for a month!! If you would like something in your ROM that isn't on this website, quit complaining and learn how to make your own. It also really astonishes me how someone could actually want to switch from an Epic to an Evo. The battery life issue isn't even relevant in this case, as the Evo is just a battery hog plain and simple. Stop whining, download JuiceDefender, get a custom ROM and kernel with a battery tweak such as removed DRM and undervolt, and see the difference for yourself. No offense Evo users, but the Epic takes all of your problems and solves them flawlessly.

And if for some reason you still think there aren't enough custom ROMs out there, take a look at some stuff from noobnl, the king of the Epic in my opinion. And then be amazed at this.

*P.S. noobnl you are the man, I will donate for sure whenever cm6 is out*

*And another thing, Froyo was supposed to be available at the end of September, which it clearly isn't. Until you hear otherwise, just wait because it is looking like it's going to be a while*

Froyo could be closer than we think. An official build for the Captivate was leaked yesterday.

Question,does Evo have Amoled or Lcd?I keep reading different things about it some posts say amoled some say slcd.
[Epic 4G General] richse:
Evo is LCD, I think you were reading about the incredible. That is the only phone so far that has either an amoled or slcd because of amoled shortages.
[Epic 4G General] thomasskull666:
I'm crossing my fingers for sure
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
No doubt you'll see froyo on the epic. Sadly it didn't come with it on launch(niether did the evo).

The phone will be a whole 2 months old at the end of oct.
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
Considering Froyo is already out on teh Captivate, Froyo for the rest of the Galaxy shouldn't be far behind.
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
the evo took a few months to have 2.2
[Epic 4G General] r2hudson:
im hoping samsung will deliver by Halloween, since sprint was the 1st to get it on evo. one can only hope. Im coming from the cm6 MTslide, and i kinda miss froyo. they need to hurry up
[Epic 4G General] rufflez2010:
Noobnl got cm 6 to boot... Give it a few more weeks for it to be functional
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
Personally, I never seen the appeal with custom ROMs. You are basically at the mercy of the Chef. I've never found one that had everything I was looking for. So with that said, I usually just tweak and mod the things that I want. Isn't that what a ROM essentially is? Most of the time the ROM's have a few things that I don't like and it doesn't make it worth it. I guess it's worth it for people who aren't interested in learning how to do it themselves though. It's always a big bonus in my book when you boot up the phone and don't need much to get it to work how it's suppose to. I left those days behind when I dropped WinMo for Android.

I have noticed that there isn't a WHOLE lot of development going on right now. Maybe that's because 2.2 is right around the corner. Personally, I didn't feel an overwhelming need to root my epic. I waited a few days and decided to do it so I can tether wirelessly and remove some of bloatware that came on the phone. Other than that, I couldn't be happier with my phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] ffortissimo:
Hi,

I can't find the solution to this problem.

I had originally a Dutch Vodafone branded X10i.

Debranded it -> ok

Rooted it with the old method (install .16, update, root) -> ok

Had to repair some mistakes and reinstalled the X10i again.

First back to .16 from the old root method.

Update OTA to .23.

Update to .26 had to go with SEUS.

Installed the new root function (one-click app X10root.apk).

Reinstalled my apps and data with Titanium Backup.

All but some apps seem ok.

I can't find some apps in Android Market anymore.

For example I'm missing Paypal (is free), Hit it light, GoTo (lockscreen, paid).

From the applications menu I:

- erased data from download management

- erased data from gmail

- erased data from google apps

- erased data from google talk

- erased data from google talk-service

- cleared the cache of market

- erased data from market updater

- erased data from gmail storage (opslag van gmail)

I can't find anything called IM or Instant Messaging or so.

I throttled the phone.

Started Android Market, inserted my credentials.

Still no luck.

What can I do next?
[XPERIA X10 General] SXUsr:
Have you tried the market fix?
[XPERIA X10 General] ffortissimo:
Which one?

I know there's one from the original thread to gain root, but I thought that one was needed because .23 was deliverd by that thread. Do I need to run that market fix ?

Or do I need to use Eris Market Fix app?

Or is there another one?
[XPERIA X10 General] SXUsr:
Not sure which you would need to try, but would imagine it would be from the thread you used to root.
[XPERIA X10 General] ffortissimo:
I found a Market fix for .26, now just waiting 24 hours...

pfff

Thank you

[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
The power button and charge switch are the only gpios that can really wake the phone. The cam button will also wake the phone, it just gets ignored. This means if you press cam and then another button quickly it should wake up. Without a working power button you will have trouble using the phone though.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thejacer:
just wana begin by sounding like a HUGE nerd: when i saw you commented on MY thread i got all light headed. thanks lol.

okay, it acts a lot like the power button is stuck. when it's plugged in with winmo the screen will turn off then immediately back on, also when i take the battery out and put it back in it comes on immediately. but i'll try your suggestion. also would it matter that i used the key remapping tool to set it to wake with other keys?

I tried taking it apart to examine the power button but i can't get the case to seperate, I've read there are clips holding it but i can't find them. I've looked at the walkthrough on that russian site but it doesn't show the location of the clips.

Hey everyone,

I am currently working on brightening up the status bar a little bit and adding some color however I cannot locate a resource I need. Does anyone know how to change the background of the status bar? See where the red arrow is point in the image:

Edit: The image is statusbar_background.9
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ghostlypickel:
It's in framework-res.apk > res > drawable-hdpi

And the image is called "statusbar_background.9.png". Even though it's a .9 you don't have to resign the status bar bg. But that's the only exception.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:

thanks in advance,

[Desire General] reminder072000:
my friend and i just bought desire couple of weeks ago.everything is great about our phones but the only what makes our phones different is the screen display.

mine is yellowish and my friend's blueish.

both of the phones are SLCD but when i compare a white display in a dark room,there was really a big difference that you can tell.

is there any possible defect on any of our phone or is it because of something else?

thanks in advanced folks.

I just bought a Kingston 32GB class 4 micro sdhc card. it seems it is not working correctly. here are the symptoms:

1. after the first time bootup wizard, several apps (widgets, settings apps) crashed.

2. every reboot it start the "first time startup" wizard.

I am not sure if it is a faulty card or I missed a step installing android on my card. All the builds I used work on my older 8gb card.

can any one help me with this problem?

Try to reflash your rom to with task 29,format the card,and install android fron the begining,not a copy from your old card,and install all the app manually again,not from a backup,,maybe this will solve the problem! ;)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ginbuntu:
I did try a fresh install. I didn't copy my old install to the card. I tried 3 different builds (fresh).

at the last try, I did a diff on the sdcard and the android build folder, it seems files are copied over to the sdcard correctly.

but everyboot it launches the setup wizard. it seems data are not being save to the sdcard in Android.

Where can I get task 29?

This will help.. Its from DaDoctor in the Core Cell Evo Rom forum.

"If you are experiencing odd behavior from the ROM (random freezes, slow down, etc) download and run task29. Please be sure you UNDERSTAND what you are doing! This app will format the internal memory of your HD2, removing any trace of previous ROMs, Radios, ETC. So, after the application runs, you will have NO OS on your phone! You will have to flash from SD or from RUU via bootloader (by holding the volume down button on bootup). http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=644781"
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blades:
Check the datasheet, find out if high speed 32gb cards require a different clock speed. This is the case of sd versus sdhc.. I'm guessing it doesn't tho, as 32gb is under the sd 2.0 spec. Create a working android 'folder' with another card, transfer the contents to the new card - see if you still have problems. And yes, I understand that is the opposite of what has been said in this thread.

It doesn't seem like a task29 will help. This is an android related issue with the change being a sd card.. Formatting the nand seems strange.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardik119:
Hey buddy!! Bad news for you. Kingston doesn't make a class 4 32GB microsd cards yet!!! I am assuming you bought it from ebay. There are some people out there who modify a 1GB or 2GB or 8GB card to report it as 32GB. But when you try to write data on it, it gets corrupted.

If you want to check this is the case or not then

format your card. Put a lot of data on it(movies, songs or anything you want) and fill it up all the way. Now try to copy the data on a different computer. If you get errors while copying, your card is reporting a wrong capacity and you can file for a money back claim on ebay!!

Something is up with my contacts. If I search for some people I'll get the result and see their number under their name. When I tap the name the contact opens but no phone number is listed, just all the other contact items.

For the contacts this happens to I can only call them from the diaper contacts list with the green phone icon. Even then it's random as to what number it calls if they have more than one.

Anyone else seen this behavior and/or know of a fix?

Apparently, you're not the only one with the problem. I guess it's the new blur thing.
