Its cause the people on the EVO forums are jealous of the hardware on the device so they need to justify their purchase by bashing ours :/

As for Froyo, we will know better by end of September as samsung promised to release Froyo by then (rumor pins it at sept 23rd)..once we have a basis it will be easier to predict...my only concern is that if they are gonna do Froyo my guess is it will be about time to give us TouchWiz 3...so if that would delay things I don't know...a person on the other forums said a sprint rep told them Epic is gonna get update with all the other Galaxy S phones (but we all know how reliable sprint reps are)...I guess thats all I can say...
[Epic 4G General] Doppler808:
There's also people who claim to be reps making promises and when it turns out to be different people get mad. Personally I wouldn't trust any information from a "rep" as they could be lying at the fact they are a "rep." I believe we will get an update as the CEO of Samsung stated we will. He didn't say when so they have from then till the end of the world to deliver unless he specified a date.

As my father says "The internet is full of people who will lie to you, and it's best to not trust any information unless it comes from the source."
[Epic 4G General] Firon:
Well, people did say the Epic was getting an MR on Sep 16, and sure enough, it did. :P

I've had some faith restored in Samsung. Either way, I'm already pretty happy with the phone, and even if they didn't release 2.2 (which I'm pretty confident they will), someone else will.
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
No, it didn't. At least not for everyone. I am one of them, and I'm pissed. I hit "update android" at least once an hour and it always says my phone is up to date.
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
But they did keep their word. It was released on the 16th. They didn't say "to everyone" or "on the 16th and ONLY the 16th" they said "release on the 16th".

We can't assume something and then get mad because our assumption doesn't match the facts.

For what it's worth, I'm still waiting for the update message on my phone.

[Epic 4G General] Grogck:
I'm on SERO patiently awaiting 10/1 so I can upgrade and was on the fence for Evo v/s Epic. My experiences with HTC devices on WM have generally been very good (although as a WM power user I've long since given up waiting on the manufacturer for software updates.) Still, I know the general rep of HTC was much stronger than Samsung in this space and I'm hoping I won't have to spend as much time tweaking my device once I switch to Android - I'm hoping to just sit back and USE it more as an average joe would.

But despite Samsung's track record I'm rather optimistic about their possibilities this time as they seem to be putting a LOT of effort behind the entire Galaxy lineup/brand. I just have a hard time seeing them doing that without offering decent update support. Right now I'm leaning toward the Epic as hardware's just extremely compelling. I'm actually optimistic/hopeful that by 10/1 I'll be able to buy one that'll ship with Froyo already installed.
[Epic 4G General] robl45:
wow, samsung managed to get their own revenue generating product out on time. that restored my faith in their priorities. At this point, I really love the epic, but unless sprint fixes the upload speed or waives the data fee, its not really worth the price.
[Epic 4G General] Deleted member 2173701:
yeah before any of the EVO can even begin to open their mouths about 2.2, they really need to look at the facts. As a sprint store tech, i get to see every evo that comes in with all their problems. just a few:

1. 2.2 update OTA ruined alot of EVOs. the OTA update could have saved the /data/app and wiped everything out on the phone, but instead it just installed and about 38% of them had to come in and get their phones wiped out just so it could even be used. we wont talk about the number of devices that dont have connectivity to 4G afterwards.

2. Battery life on the EVO sucks. even with newer bfs kernels. my roomate has the evo. he can generally get up at 8, get back from work at 6 with maybe 20% left (heavy user). My phone on the other hand, (before i flashed the andromeda kernel) i got to work at 9, used the phone heavily to play psx4droid and watch movies most of the day, and still got home 13 hours later with 60% battery left.

3. psx4droid runs flawlessly (minus graphical glitches in psx4droid) on my Epic. 60 frames per second. multi touch screen works to play metal gear solid and Twisted Metal 2 using on screen keyboard. On my roomates EVO, even with a different kernel, multitouch kinda works for 2 keys at once, i can only go 50 frames a second, and is generally more glitchy. airplane mode is a must because if a text message comes through, it glitches and skipps alot.

4. video playback. download an avatar bluray dump. roughly 5 gig mastroka file. place on SD card. beautiful beautiful picture. and its a .mkv file. no need to convert it. no need for anything. drop and watch. Evo....not so much. gotta convert .mkv to a .mp4, drop some of the clairity because the conversion is like 8-11 gigs and thats not easy to just carry around.

but how many Epic users go into the Evo forums and smear this in everyones faces?

to each their own....but ill go ahead and keep mines :)
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
How did you copy over a 5GB file when the file system doesn't let you move a file larger than 4GB?
[Epic 4G General] MvP77:
good question. I watched an 720p rip of The Boondocks in mkv format. Beautiful video!!
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
I've seen Iron Man 2, Avatar, and Star Trek in 720p. Avatar was actually the same aspect ratio of the phone, which made it look even better. And the colors of Avatar really, really pop on the phone. By far the most beautiful movie I've seen on this screen (not the best, mind you... the movie itself is kinda lame).
[Epic 4G General] islanda73:
I gotta get my epic NOW after hearing all you guys says how good movies look on it. I have a samsung moment
[Epic 4G General] Deleted member 2173701:
haha i estimated "roughly 5 gigs" the same way manufacturers calculate their sd cards.

actually its like a 3.9 gig file, i just mistyped a 5 instead of a 4 and was too lazy to go back and correct it.
[Epic 4G General] Masterface7:
That is pretty astounding battery life for the epic. Do you take any extra measures to try and increase the epics battery life.

For psx4droid do yoou keep it muted? I have yet to find a game that can run flawless sound. I have only tried 6-7 games but all of them were jerky at best(sound) the video does run very good but get lagged when it has to slowdown to keep the sound synced. Have you tried chrono cross? I love that game but it was not to playable for me.

I got a week "preview" of the epic then returned it when sero premium rumors bubbled up(God bless the 30 day return). Now I am trying to wait until 10/1 to jump back in.

[HTC Aria General] echodun:
So I just rooted my Aria with Unrevoked 3 and when it was done I got this cool green Clockwork Recovery menu. I clicked "reboot system" and now I'm wondering how I ever load or access that menu again.

Also, when I click Superuser Permission there is nothing there yet. Is that normal?

Lastly, can I delete HTC Driver Installer and HTC BMP USB Driver or should I leave them. I had to remove HTC Sync to root the phone. I assume I'll want to be able to communicate the phone with my PC in the future, so how do I go about doing that?

Also, I used Astro to create a new folder in the root directory and it said "operation failed". Am I not really fully rooted?

Sorry for the newbie questions.
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
Clockwork Recovery has replaced the stock recovery, and you access it by holding the vol-down button as you power on the phone.

Yes, it's normal. Applications will appear on the list as they request superuser permissions and you take action.

You do not need HTC sync to for basic communication with the phone (file transfer & adb) but if you continue using and HTC based rom, you can reinstall it and continue to use it.

Hey, that's another question after "lastly". :D

Yes, you're fully rooted, but even root access does not give you permission to write on a read only partition. Most Android phones are nand locked - meaning when the system is booted, the /system partition is read-only.

Until we get an engineering SPL (or equivelent) for the Aria, we can only access the system partition reliably for write access in Clockwork Recovery. This is how we flash custom ROMs.

Really, these are good noob questions but don't belong in the development area and should be in general. This isn't the only post in the wrong area.
[General Questions and Answers] skycop51:
Just got this it gets a little hot, but mainly I have been unable to connect to wifi at all and anywhere. I am bothered by this and wonder if I should return this? Not comfortable with flashing and not sure it would help. I contacted company where I purchased and all the say is read manual. It is lousy and has nothing about this.

Any ideas what to do?:confused:
[EVO 4G General] mitch27:
Wondering why Sprint/HTC still haven't fixed this...

http://www.youtube.com/user/AndroidCentral#p/u/3/i_VSSFrJF4A

Is there an easy fix?
[EVO 4G General] jigglywiggly:
Yes, run Cyanogen's rom with a snap kernel. The snap kernel is optional, all that is needed to fix it is by removing the 30fps cap.
[EVO 4G General] Mama Luigi:
The 30 fps cap can't be entirely responsible for the laggy touch input. My wife just got an EVO and it's simply not as smooth as my Epic. It's stock and unrooted but it does have the latest OTA update, which removed the fps cap. Didn't fix it.
[EVO 4G General] johnnycross22:
i'm a little confused, I notice no "input lag" on my EVO, nor do I see anything really in that video, can you be more specific?
[EVO 4G General] chazglenn3:
I don't notice lag on my Evo running the latest Fresh rom and latest netarchy kernel overclocked to 1.15gHz...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] joehunni:
Nice concept, would love to see where this goes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Macanage:
Gtalk is needed to get the apps to download from the market.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] evilvoice:
There is actually more stuff needed, but yea, gtalk is def needed. Its funny, someone in the G1 forum posted what it depended on, and besides one framework file, I removed everything else. I really hate the implementation of gtalk. It runs all the time and I dont use it. In the same G1 thread, the poster was talking about editing the package so it wasnt dependent on anything, I may have my programmer buddy take a look at it when he gets a chance to see if he can finish the work. If there was a way for the market to not need googleapps.apk or gtalk/service.apk I would be ecstatic, as it stands now, I dont see me putting the market back.

Also, Rom links have been posted
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danaff37:
And actually, just for the sake of argument, I modified cm 6 and gapps to minimize the size on my phone, and I have it at 89 mb but sol full functionality. I even will have maps and nav and voice search and all, but on data partition only. In could shrink a lot more actually, but don't feel the need.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] evilvoice:
cm6 has the ability to get real tiny...if I were to remove the same things, Id say itd be around 50-60mb (maybe im just dreaming here), the issue with cm6 is that fact it does not allow prl updating. I included the newest prl in the zip which gets dumped to your sdcard...j-i-c. Android 2.2 is smaller than 2.1 - there is no way a 2.1 rom will be smaller than 2.2 with the same functionality, it just wont happen, I know that, I just wanted a small 2.1 that did prl ;)...maybe sprint will release a 2.2 we can use...then I will look into slimming it down like I did this one.

This was never meant to go head to head with cm6...we are talking about 2 different systems - I guess I should have pointed that out...2.2 has the potential to be WAAAY smaller than even this one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwachleman:
This is a great idea and Im going to watch your progress, Im hoping someday they figure out how to get prl updated on 2.2 Such a pain right now updating it. Thanks for your work!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ukdtweak:
Firstly, make sure you make a backup of the original files using Root Explorer or similar....

Open CMD promt (as admin if Vista or W7).

Cd to the Tools dir were you installed ADB...

e.g. cd androidsdk/tools

Then type:

ADB Shell Stop

Press Enter

You should see a msg about Deamon Starting...

Then type:

adb push FILENAME /DIR/DIR

/DIR/DIR Replace with the path the files need to goto on the phone....

Once copied type:

ADB shell start

Press Enter.

Hope that make sense.

Ok guys, so ever since I've been using android phones I have always used the G-mail app. But, on my Xperia X10 I really like the default email app better...not because it may be better, but because the blue background really makes it look nice, and it still delivers my email promptly enough. BUT! the problem is when I get a new email and read it, then exit the email it for some reason has that little green mark as if it were still unread. Anyone else have this? and is there a fix, because I usually have to click on a email then exit then go back into it before its marked as read.

Thanks!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ppelleg2003:
I'm unable to help factively, as I'm not running that build, but just to start troubleshooting... which kind of ringtone are you using?

Have you tried to use a different one (i.e: a song)

What's the result?

maybe this can help tracking the issue

Pino
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zPacKRat:
It's a clean installation so no installed ring tones, only the once dzo included. I will try with some of the others to see if they all produce the same result.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ppelleg2003:
Far from solving the issue, it may be a patch: having a song (obviously longer than a ringtone jingle) you'd hear it longer :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ghghgh14702:
Yes but if the filesize is too big then it will take a while to load the ringtone also which would mean you would miss the first dials and possibly altogether. This may be a dialer issue, I have noticed that android doesn't seems give the dialer a higher priority then the other active tasks for some reason. Does anyone know if we can set priority of activities in Android? If we can make the dialer the highest priority then your phone shouldn't have less issues.

Indeed thanks to siwahem for a fix. And sorry ppelleg2003 if I came across short, I always appreciate input.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] siwahem:
Forgot to mention that if you want to use your own sound for notifications then set the ANDROID_LOOP tag to false, otherwise the sound will keep looping non-stop. Only way to stop it, without killing the sound system, is to set the phone to silent mode, then back to normal profile.

Seems, this tag is ignored for alarm sounds though, non of the default alarm files have the tag, but I haven't tested it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] siwahem:
As for dialer priority issue, android actually uses a different process for phone calls. The dialer is part of the contacts app I believe.

Try Phone Prioritizer (it may be called Scheduled Scripting) app (here: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=558822). It runs periodically to set the main phone processes and launcher at higher priority. I've been using it and it works a charm, phone reacts, starts ringing and display the incoming call screen within the first ring.
