Well said. Only problem LeBron left as a free agent. Kinda like when I was a 'free agent' looking into a new phone and went with Android instead of a Iphone, Blackberry, etc....
[Captivate General] labbu63:
the iPhone is getting old now its been over what 4 years of the phone being released just try something new its your opinion whether you like it or not
[Captivate General] crazililazn:
lol, i dont want to get involved with the iphone vs android flame war, but this is a terrible example. I mean, its a tiny screen and ur friend is amazed at how it plays a video?! i mean the galaxy s is a bit bigger, but seriously, a movie on a 3-4 in screen is a terrible experience... get any large ips panel and now we are talking.

and no, if u have a good video converter, u dont lose much quality at all. nothing noticeable at least. btw when u watch movies and stuff on my phone, u dont need it immediately so why does it matter if i have to convert or not. i mean my i7 can convert a 2hour 720p video in like 30 min anyways. and if u did need it "at once" u would use youtube. when ppl go out, they go out to do something. not to watch videos on their phone LOL

[Captivate General] galaxyjeff:
The Captivate would be better than the iphone 4 if the GPS in it worked. If the iphone 4 came out and the GPS in it was faulty it would be all over the news and apple would be recalling them. I don't see why Samsung is dragging their feet on fixing the Galaxy S phones. The iphone 4's screen resolution is probably much nicer to look at than the Captivate and Android compared to Apple's iOS is still young. Once Android moves along it will probably overtake Apple. Google is working on the 3.0 version which I'm sure is going to be very nice.

One thing also to note is Samsung makes the processor in the iphone 4.
[Captivate General] Justinph5:
Actually its a good example :P I was out of state when I bought my Captivate. On the day of flying back, I took my 3 favorite shows on my computer, then put them on my captivate in no time at all before the flight. I only download high quality files of the shows, and they worked perfectly for the plane ride home. I wouldn't have and didn't wanna mess with converting them if I didn't have to. :) If I want to watch one of the movies on my computer while traveling, I can just transfer it over minutes before the trip. ;) No conversion or worrying about quality.
[Captivate General] k0sun7eash3d:
Exactly! We're so far into the game with video media that conversion should not even be an issue anymore. 5 years ago when the first ipod video and psp came out, it was reasonable, but now, is it really too much to expect native codecs from top of the line mobile devices?
[Captivate General] dave1977nj:
I hope a mod locks/deletes this thread we are not in a iphone forum are we?
[Captivate General] quarlow:
Definately ... if the iPhone had a major hardware flaw, like maybe a faulty antenna, they would definately recall all the phones, and give you ones with antennas that worked. They wouldn't deny the problem, then blame someone else (certainly not tell people they are using the product wrong), then give a non-solution. (Like something that makes your phone look tacky, afterall you buy a iPhone cause it looks purty, not because you are a power user)

Great example.

[/sarcasm]

GPS is a software fix on the captivate, that they think they can fix with an update (jh7 or froyo), not a design flaw. It could be related to that whole skyhook fiasco in which they had no choice.

[HD2 General] mikka1986:
I'm also having the same issue, and looking for a fix. as what i observed, its a hardware related issue, not software issue.

Did you get any solution after that? I like this phone but it failed me...

Sprint Epic 4G Update Brings Faster Uploads Tomorrow

File under: News

By: Chuong Nguyen | 5:06 PM 29-Sep-10 | 0 Comments

Forum member dshoem01 on Sprint's community forums has promised that the carrier will be releasing an update to the Sprint Epic 4G that will be coming tomorrow, September 30th, and will be rolled out over the air over four days. The firmware update should fix the slow upload speeds that Epic 4G owners have been experiencing, which caps their uploads to a measly 150 kbps on Sprint's 3G network. According to the forum post, "Good news - an update will be released tomorrow 9/30. It will be rolled out over a 4 day period so not everyone will get it on day 1. I will have the standard MR information (fixes included, rollout schedule, etc) available tomorrow morning and will post it in a new featured thread."

(via: Engadget)

http://pocketnow.com/android/sprint-epic-4g-update-brings-faster-uploads-tomorrow

cant wait to see someone use this in there rom:D
[Epic 4G General] rufflez2010:
FYI, i take anything Engadget posts with a HUGE grain of salt. Not saying it won't come tomorrow, I have faith it will. But the article on Epic Problems was written by a guy who's top devices are a Netbook, an XBOX 360 and the Palm Pre. This guy wouldn't know good hardware if it *****slapped him in the face.
[Epic 4G General] blastboi:
lol thx for the heads up
[Epic 4G General] drizek:
That article was pretty accurate. The Epic has some pretty serious issues.
[Epic 4G General] rufflez2010:
The only one I've ever experienced was the 3G upload. and it just isn't a big deal for me right now. Plus, fix is in the works.

People who have the market download problem didn't clear their cache before flashing a ROM. That's no one's fault except the person who flashed the ROM. The only time I've had anything fail in the market is when I was actively switching from wifi to 3g or vice versa. Download restarted fine with no issues.

GPS, sorry, just don't experience them. I apologize for those with them, but I just have not had an issue getting a lock when I'm outdoors. I travel to different stores everyday for work, and I've never had an issue navigating there. GPS/Maps way better on this phone than Hero, which frequently put me on some side road instead of the current one, and no one *****es about that phone's GPS issues.
[Epic 4G General] drizek:
I didn't have GPS issues at first, but eventually I started to experience it. The biggest problem though is the battery drain that can basically kill the whole thing in 4-5 hours.
[Epic 4G General] richse:
Seriously, this update needs to fix the 3G battery drain that is killing this phone. Fixing the GPS would be nice too, but upload speeds are a distant third on the list of stuff that needs to be fixed ASAP...
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
FUGGG. Just remembered that I'm gonna have to re-install all the Sprint/Samsung apps to get this update like i did last time. -___-

As least I will remember how to do it this time!
[Epic 4G General] rufflez2010:
F

Lol, yeah.
[Epic 4G General] Iilex:
I just got a prl update pushed to me as I was resetting my phone. My rom is stock though I have a modified kernel. I have bad 3g signal here but I have full 3g/4g bars at work. I suppose today we find out!

you won't if you just wait for the devs on here to give us one flashable via clockwork. might take an extra day or few but its worth the wait if you think about it
[Epic 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
Just tried this but its still the same. Make a new thread concerning this please..
[Epic 4G General] scriz:
This does not uncap the upload speed, it just doesn't route your internet traffic through a proxy anymore, after you change this.

What is the PRL version number for the updated PRL?

[Epic 4G General] stinger4321:
So does this help with our high lag/ ping issue?
[Epic 4G General] stinger4321:
Well I changed mine to eliminate the proxy and with 2bars of signal on 3g I got a ping of 145 with speedtest app also it now shows a server thats actually near me . The same server when I test the 4g speeds! That could bed the reason for a lower ping though
[Epic 4G General] stinger4321:
Also when I ran it multiple times I recieved 180kbps upload everytime. This is the highest I have seen it on 3g
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
Great, Now my uploads are 600kbps everytime and my downloads are not over 200! LOL. Awesome tradeoff!
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
lol

seems like all u do is flame the epic

while you are entitled to your opinion your "bad experience" have made you want to make all of us hate it too.....

evo bound eh?

sprints 3g network is slow and slower depending where u are

i heard tmobile faster might want to check them out
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
nah, tmobile is crap here.

I'm just reporting what I see. I wish I was like other posters who have 1500+ downloads! that'd be sweet

[Epic 4G General] churro7:
lol indeed

i had tmo and where i live i have hspa+ and it was awesome but where i need it to have signal it doesnt at my moms and around that area.....sprint does and verizon and att
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
Exactly. T mobile is GREAT when you have good coverage...... But for me, 80% of the time I had little to no coverage at all the places I need it most.

I really miss bring able to use data and voice at the same time like I did on tmo but Sprints more reliable.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lior84:
Hi,

I want to backup the whole phone including the SD card and all the settings + the apps and to have a phone image that if I'll decide to recover I will get back everything as it was before. I have rom manager and my Desire is rooted with clockworkmod 2.5.0.1. It is unbranded with Hboot 0.80 and stock froyo 2.2.

Can you recommend any program that will make this backup (and then can restore back) and do it on my PC while the phone is connected to pc with USB ?

Any other good solutions for someone that doesn't want to loose anything (including apps, settings...) and want to try other rooms ?

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lior84:
anybody...?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Clockwork Mod will backup the system and your EXT partition if you're using A2SD+ - other than that you can just back up your SD card to your PC...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScottHW:
ClockworkMod has the Nandroid backup option that works well for essentially everything on internal memory.

ROM Manager (in the Market) provides a few GUI options for the Recovery menus.

For the SD card, just simple copying to a computer (when you have the phone in Disk Drive mode) should do the trick.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lior84:
Ok, but if after backing up the whole Sd card, I will install another rom (not my stock rooted froyo 2.2) there will be no conflicts between what on the Sd and the new rom ?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thenewguy821:
Here is a quick guide to changing Fonts in a ROM. This has worked in every Sense ROM I have tried, I have not tried in NON-Sense ROMs.

I can not take credit for the Programs/Files used. I did not make them. This is just a quick tutorial. If you are looking for a way to change the Fonts in a ROM, other than the included font, or the Stock Font, here is what I did successfully.

1. Download the Stock Fonts zip from here. Stock Font

2. Download "Font Selector v1.4" from this link - http://xdaforums.com/show...04&postcount=1

3. unzip the Font selector file. Inside, you will find a file "Font Selector" open this file and open the "Fonts" file. You can browse through each fonts file and double click on one of the .ttf files to see a preview. When you find the font you want, leave that folder open.

4. Using winrar, leave the "Stock Fonts" file zipped and double click the file. Winrar will let you work in the file while leaving it zipped. Go into the Font folder and replace all the files with all the files in the font folder of your choice from Font selector.

5. Save the changes in winrar.

6. Re-sign the zip file, then load it to your sdcard. For info how to sign a zip, go to this link - http://androidforums.com/49232-post1.html (Rest assured, this is VERY easy. I did this while I was a complete NOOB here.)

7. Flash the zip through recovery.

Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thenewguy821:
Just adding, as it was pointed out in another thread, you can also use a program called "Type Fresh", Free in the Market, to change fonts. There is no preview in the type fresh program, so it will be trial and error, till you find a font you are happy with.

Also, the link for re-signing zips, is not just specific to this procedure. Once you follow the steps in that link, you can re-sign ANY zip files that need signing. Amon_RA recovery requires zips to be signed in order to flash them to the phone, and some developers don't sign the files. After you do the steps in the link, if you have a problem flashing a file in Amon_RA, right click the zip and select "Resign zip"
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] apristel:
For font selector i just run the font_selector.bat while my phone is plugged in....changes it easily..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thenewguy821:
That's cool. I tried a few times with font_selector.bat, and kept getting error messages, which caused me to try to find a different way. If Font Selector works fine, for people, that is much easier. I just added this to help if people have problems using it.
[Vibrant General] rakeshchn:
I have paid version of Titanium backup. I have used it before to backup user apps with market links. I know I updated the TB app after I did my last backup, now when I do a backup, user apps are not backed up with market links. TB says SQLite is required to backup maket links and I do not have SQlite. Has something changed with TB coz last time it backed up market links and I never had SQLite!
[Vibrant General] metalfan78:
Ran into this too, tb didnt link any of my backups, no clue why because it did so the other day

Bionix 1.4 beta
[Vibrant General] rakeshchn:
Figured it out. The voodoo lag fix is the culprit. Disabled voodoo to change file system from ext4 to rfs and now TB shows I have SQlite. Market links are now backed up.
[Vibrant General] metalfan78:
I've never used voodoo lagfix

Bionix 1.4 beta
[Vibrant General] rakeshchn:
Interesting..TB shows SQLite available now consistently after I disabed voodoo. I am running Bionix 1.3. Are you running any lag fix or a different kernel like JACs?
[Vibrant General] bellrb19:
A new update was just release which fixes problems with SQLITE and market links on Samsung devices. Enjoy!
[Vibrant General] rakeshchn:
Just downloaded...checking it out

[Droid 2 Android Development] chrstdvd:
Can you connect it to your computer? Do a battery pull and then do not try to turn it on, just see if you can get your computer to see it. If so then you could flash the sbf and start over.

Next time try a battery pull and then power on.. I did that last time i was in a bootloop and it took me to recovery where i was able to restore a backup.

Any suggestions?? Pls help

Note: I am not rooted..:(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTH-EVO:
Greetings,

That's a good question. I fear I have no answer. But I assume you've gone to

Home > settings, applications, running applications, and "cleared cache" on any that

may have larger caches (those you use most).

It might also help if while in there, to move some of your installed applications to sdcard.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sw99:
I gained a ton of space by installig a custom kernel (netarchy's to be exact). He moves the cache to the data mount giving you more app space. I think he has some other trick up his sleeve too because i have not had a problem since (that is until the latest OTA which i have since removed–it was givng me way to many problems).

As expected you'll need "full" root.

I use a widget called "memory status" to keep tabs on both app and data load as well as my SD card.

[General Questions and Answers] dreq:
Does anyone know if HTC Sense's contact management app, 'People', is a 'Content Provider' in the Android system? Does it expose either of these fields, sourced from Facebook, to other apps on the device?

Profile image (public information on facebook - perhaps yes?)

Birthday (private information on Facebook - hence probably no?)

Or, if 'People' is not a 'Content Provider' is it somehow still putting profile image from Facebook into the basic Android contact table, from where other apps can grab it? Any other ideas on where I can access profile image without connecting to Facebook Graph API?

What about other manufacturers' contact management apps? i.e. for users of the Galaxy, Xperia etc? Same deal?

thanks.

My first phone was a G1 and that really got me into the android world. I'm now using a Nexus One that I just recently rooted and flashed with a great deal of information I found here.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] paul c:
I've just unlocked mine via www.liberaporimei.eu, €22 - worked perfectly

I don't think there is a reliable way of doing it yourself. If you really need to unlock the phone (ie plan on using a phone that is worth several 00 Euros on a different network), I think this is your route.

& as ever, given the cost of the phone, it's not an outlandish amount to pay.

Hello!

So after having this phone for about a month, and I realized that after rooting and lagfixing, when I press the power button there's still a bit of a pause before the screen pops up. After this got lagfixed shouldn't this have gone away?

I've had a couple people that own this phone who have rooted and hacked it so that they're experiencing instant screen wakes on power button presses, and they get higher scores on Linpack than I do, however Quadrant scores are the same as everyone else's at roughly 2200.

Does anyone know why my screen isn't instantly waking on a power button press? It's kind of a pain in the butt, heck, my girlfriend's Vibrant will instantly wake and it isn't even rooted...

I have the following setup that COULD affect things -

Live Wallpaper

ADW Launcher

Advanced Task Killer

Two Widgets - BatteryLeft and Beautiful Weather Widget

ANY ideas on how to boost the performance? At all?

Thank you!
