For the last 6 months I've been hosting files for developers in the Eris section. I made the site to people wouldn't have to use all that MultiUpload crap, got sick of the waiting 60 seconds to download a file, entering a verification code, etc etc.

Anyways, the site's worked well. You can direct link to your files, upload everything via a simple web interface.

I just thought I'd offer the site to developers in other forums now. :)

http://android.grdlock.net

Anyways, if you're interested in using it to host your files, just make a username on the site real quick, shoot me a PM, and I'll give it upload permissions.

And no, this isn't an advertisement or anything. :) People in the Eris section have just liked using the website over MultiUpload, so I thought I'd offer to let other people use my bandwidth as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Kcarpenter:
I can jump in on this as well - I have unlimited bandwidth so if you need another mirror, let me know and ill set you up on my server. :D

I have been an EVO user since the day it came out and today I was offered a trade for the Epic. I was wondering what some of the other EVO to Epic users thoughts were? Its mainly the processor and keyboard that are drawing me into doing this trade, what are some of the other benefits of the Epic?

Thanks
[Epic 4G General] jemarent:
The biggest thing to me was the screen. My gf has an evo and it's a great phone. I would have bought it if it was in stock, but then the epic was on the roadmap so i decided to try it. I really like it. I have some issues with the back button like others, but not a big deal. I also have had battery concerns, but i've been making it for around 15 hours on average and that's using the phone, not just letting it idle. The screen difference in the evo vs epic is like my old rear projector tv vs the best lcd tv on the market. This screen makes everything look so good. I still am amazed everytime i turn it on.
[Epic 4G General] done12many2:
Both are excellent phones. My EVO is rooted with a custom 2.2 ROM and I still feel like my Epic with 2.1 is faster overall. I think once 2.2 is released for the Epic, there will be no comparison.

As stated above, you cannot compare the two displays. Every time I look at my EVO after using my Epic, I am dissatisfied with the display. Regardless of the fact that the EVO's screen is a hair bigger, the quality of the Epic's display is NIGHT & DAY better.

I do prefer HTC’s Sense to Samsung’s TW, but that is a small detail to me.

I will say that I seem to have an overall better 3g data experience with my EVO. As of the last few days, they seem to be dead even as far as 3g is concerned, but when I first got the Epic, it was definitely slower in the bandwidth department.

Battery life for me is slightly better on the Epic and when you consider that I use it a lot more than I did the EVO, it’s actually a lot better.

Overall I can say with certainty that I prefer my Epic over my EVO.
[Epic 4G General] vashht:
I was using a rooted EVO and the epic feels faster at stock than my evo ever has. Anyway, the screen is a lot better, the crappy viewing angles on the evo always bothered me. The keyboard is really nice for emulators and other games, although it takes a little getting used to. Th battery life on the evo is better as of now, but as a long time evo user I can say the epic at launc has far better battery life than the evo did, its taken a lot of updates to get the evo where it is now.

Basically the evo is only better in two ways right now, battery life and GPS performance, and I expect both of those to get better on the epic, and when the epic gets froyo there won't be much comparison. The evo was nice but it is wa outcassed by the epic imo.
[Epic 4G General] bomix:
You really gotta try it out first. Biggest thing for me is the Camera is way better on the Epic. Panoramic pictures are very neat you have to try it.

I have both the Evo and Epic, and they are both great, the Evo has so much more hacking done to it then the Epic, but i'm sure that will change soon.

I didn't really like the Epic at first, I missed my evo the first two days I turned on the Epic.. I thought i'd fire the Evo back up... but the Epic has really Grown on me. I found a battery tweak that gives me better battery life then the EVO. I'm not looking back.
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
Like everyone else, I too believe the Epic to be a much faster device overall. Of course, you listed that as a pro as well as the screen.

So beyond that, the camera is also much better. I've been seeing photos of higher quality overall. My EVO photos come out over saturated and the detail isn't as good. However, I find that my EVO performs better indoors as far as sharpness is concerned.

The Epic is also able to play 720p MKV\divx files out of the box without converting them. This is great for me, as I hate having to convert movies for the EVO. They look absolutely gorgeous on the Epic's 4" Super AMOLED screen. The EVO's GPU can not handle high quality movies.

Gaming is a much more enjoyable experience on the Epic. 3D games and graphically intense apps will run at a much higher framerate on the Epic. The EVO's GPU is NOT futureproof at all, as it uses the same processor that HTC has been putting in phones since the Nexus One. If you're concerned at all about 3D games coming out in the future, you're better off with an Epic.

The keyboard also makes for a pretty great gaming experience. Be advised that it is NOT as fast as swype when it comes to texting and emails. The keyboard is spaced kinda oddly which makes typing a bit difficult. But overall I like it. I use it all the time. Also, if your screen is off, you can turn it on AND unlock the phone by opening the keyboard. This saves you from trying to hit that button and then swyping to unlock :P

I find that voice quality is also better on the Epic. I used to complain about this on the EVO. I had trouble hearing people. However, people also complain that the Epic picks up a lot of background noise. I dont use my phone much when driving but I imagine it would be annoying.

The Epic connects to 4G much faster, and I'm getting better speeds. However, the 3G connection is shoddy at best. You won't see ANYONE praising the Epic's 3G speeds over the EVO.

For me there isn't much to consider. I never use my EVO anymore because there is nothing it can do that my Epic can't... but there is plenty my Epic can do that my EVO can not. But the things that the Epic can do aren't a priority for everyone.

One last thing to consider. HTC has done a great job at getting out updates and fixes for the EVO. Samsung hasn't really done jack for any version of the Galaxy S phones out... including fixing the GPS and 3G issues on the Epic. 2.2 is probably a long ways away... but honestly, I don't think we need it. I only want 2.2 because it apparently fixes the headphone jack for the dock.
[Epic 4G General] rtmski:
Thanks everyone this has helped me confirm my decision to go through with the trade and will be a proud Epic owner by 6 tonight.

I got yelled at by the mods for posting something similar a while back. Seems like they don't like you pimping your site, even though I wasn't making any money off it either.
[Droid Incredible General] GrdLock:
The mods in the Eris section fully approved and encouraged it. They said as long as it's not a site that would compete with XDA (ie: a site with news, a forum, tutorials, etc) it was fine, and it's not... it's just a file host, nothing more.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raydm:
So they are showing the instant On , on the new desire z in london which is basically is same as tmobile g2 here in states.

i was wondering is it something to do with SSD beign used or are they using some kind of hibernation technics in which phone is not entirely turn off instead goes into hibernation and then come back up.

and if its gona be possible to use in other android phones.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazultra2000:
Realistically speaking, all phones use "SSD". SSD stands for Solid State Drive, and I doubt there's many phones out there that actually use a standard hard disk as storage.

All data is stored on flash chips, but technology in that area, whilst great at shrinking and increasing capacity, doesn't really improve super fast in terms of data transfer speeds.

I suspect they are doing some kind of clever hibernation as already suggested. Like it loads up a CPU state from memory that is stored when the system is shut down. I imagine first time out of the box will still be a good minute or so as usual, but successive reboots will be a lot quicker.

I imagine there will also be some sort of button combination you can press on boot to do a "fresh" boot rather than loading the hibernated version (for the usual reason that people reboot - to flush memory etc).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtl171:
but the question is will the g2 get it? maybe instant on is just something built into sense. keeping my fingers crossed :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arcadia310:
Hopefully its available for the US version. Would be a neat lil way to conserve battery power. Devs will find a way to port it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazultra2000:
I expect the G2 will get it as well - Looks like more of a ROM/SPL feature than Sense. Incidentally, I saw another video yesterday which showed a much more usual boot time. In the region of 40 seconds or so.

My theory seems to stand up to this. It's possible that this was the first time that the particular handset had been booted.

I'm not sure where the battery savings would come in. Aside from the few seconds shaved off when booting I can't see much other saving. In fact, it may transpire that the "system image" that it stores is held in battery-backup storage, which may in fact drain battery more, not less.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
The same way sleep mode saves electricity on desktops.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j.books:
it would save battery in that you would be more likely to shut down completely when not using it if it booted up that fast. right now I rarely shut my phone down because if i need it in a pinch, I'd have to wait forever for it to boot.

edit: @dazultra2000, that's assuming it's a real shutdown rather than a hibernation as you suggest. you're right though, it's more likely to be more of a hibernation type thing. but still, if it used more battery than it saved, then what really would be the point? there would be no advantage over just turning the screen off
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hayzie:
It would have to be a hibernate/sleep thing. It would be great. To me, it would not be useful if it doesn't notify you of a message or call right on the spot as if the phone was on. I keep mine on. It's the point of having a cell phone.

I presume it's just like a computer and only the service stays awake for these such things.

I hope so.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtl171:
could be helpful though mostly i just stick my phone in airplane mode instead of turning it off.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j.books:
well, in this video the guy clearly selects 'shut down.' I mean i'm still not convinced it's completely shutting down, but it sure looks like it

http://www.mobileburn.com/youtube_video2.jsp?Id=10816
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
It could either be great programming by HTC

or native hibernation support from qualcomm on the new chipset.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raydm:
+1 on that.

seems like gpu is doing such a wonderful job of helping CPU in that matter.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnknownPleasures:
He said in the video the phone will boot the "normal" amount of time if you pull the battery.

The quick boot is if you power on/power off normally.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtl171:
in that case its probably more of a standby where it loads the os into the ram. that would explain why it would boot slower after you pop the battery. however don't think most people swap batteries on a daily basis.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tubaking182:
i did three times a day with my G1 because of it's awful battery life, hopefully this one will have better life, can't wait to get this thing in my hands and start screwing with it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtl171:
it MUST have decent battery life. hopefully at 18 hours given the proccesor is underclocked. though the second you stick cmod on it, batt life is probably going to drop significantly.

Kalipedia, it's most definitely going to be a post-perma-root feature. It will most likely need a custom rom. I'm fairly confident there wouldn't be a way to change such a core function of the OS unless it has been rooted.

You'd need root to do this, so why not set up Apps2SD along the way? That way you can have as much storage space as you want. And I doubt that they would make the ROM 1Gb in size, 256Mb max (seeing how fast those things boot, there's no way it can be 1Gb). The rest is probably for apps.

Hi all. I do not post much on here and am relatively new with this so please bear with me if it is in the wrong forum and if I explain something that is worded incorrectly.

[THEME] MattedBlues - CM 6.0.0 and Sense 2.2 Versions *UPDATED 09/13/2010*

I rebooted after flashing it through the recovery screen and cannot get it to boot into the home screen at all. As stated in the title, I see the Sprint splash screen and then the 4G screen to start. It then sits there for a few seconds and then starts back at the Sprint splash screen again.

Any help would be appreciated as to what I can do to get back to where I was and also possibly tell me what I may have done wrong to cause this.

Thanks in advance!
