[Epic 4G General] othan1:
while attached to WiFi? With my Moment, I could stay connected to my wireless and download/install just fine. With my Epic, I've noticed that it will not download anything from the market until I turn WiFi off and get on 3G.

I thought I may have been misremembering, but I tried again with my old Moment as well as my daughters' and they all can DL just fine on WiFi.

I don't have 4G to test with so I don't know how that behaves with the market.

Any commiseration or thoughts?
[Epic 4G General] badasscat:
Mine downloads apps over wi-fi... it's pretty much the only way I've installed anything. (I just installed a couple things right now that way.)
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Hrm. Odd. Perhaps it's because of an app I have installed. I tried through AppBrain and Market apps and they both do nothing until I turn off wifi.

Thanks. This will help. At least I can tell it may be application related.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
I have problems where the phone doesn't start downloading right away - 3G or WiFi. Sometimes, restarting the market app and/or the phone will help. However, this occurrence seems to be completely at random.
[Epic 4G General] afflikt3d:
So here it is. I have an Evo and Im in those forums all the time. Mostly browsing, posting occasionally, but mostly just reading and trying to soak in as much info as possible.

Ive started reading up on the Epic recently. My girl just recently got one, and she loves it. Few minor issues here and there, but for the most part shes crazy about it. I am not, personally. Coming from an Evo running CM6, Id like to think I know a little about what a fast phone is. In my opinion, the Epic does have a bit of lag. However I read that there is a fix for it, but I havent read much beyond that.

The real problem I have with her phone is the reception. I have read from a few places that the reception on this thing is less than stellar. Example: I live in Coral Springs, FL. She lives in Coconut Grove. Its about 50 miles away. Now, when Im at her house, I get great signal, decent speeds, and never am without service. Her on the other hand, cant get a signal in her own house to save her life. Cant get a signal in most of Miami for that matter. Chances are its a defective phone, **** happens. But I also saw that some people complained of an update completely ruining signal strength. Im at a loss. I just wanted some opinions on what you guys think it could be.

Is it worth trying to fix? Should I swap it out for a different one, or just get an Evo? Looking for some guidance here :)

And if it matters, since someone will ask, her phone is completely stock. All Ive done is install Launcher Pro.

Thanks in advance for any advice or flaming, either works for me.

Living in Florida, I know Sprint's service here is TOP NOTCH compared to other places in the country. I frequently go to South Florida to visit my gf and sister. I haven't had reception issues with the Epic or Hero that I've owned (Pre, now thats a different story... ****ing phone). Anyway, I would say defective unit. I get better service (not bars) with the Epic. There is one dead zone on the drive down from Brevard to South Florida right at the border of Brevard County. The Hero and Pre always drop out. Epic didn't. My Download speeds using apps as a guide are slower, upload speeds... well, you can read about that. However, functionally, the phone is faster than the Hero. Sprint TV produces a picture that is usable and everything seems to download faster (can't do a side-by-side test over 3G as my Hero is deactivated). Market apps download and install much faster, and streaming content online is a much better experience than the Hero (no matter what rom/overclock kernel I had on it). The Epic is a great phone. If she still can, I would see if she could get it exchanged.

I haven't gone to my Sister's place in Tamarac, but in the past, service has been horrible in her house with Sprint/Verizon. My sister has T-Mobile for that reason. Really, its the structure of her house because when I go outside, I get no issues with reception. I've noticed the signal isn't that great out west. My Gf couldn't even get signal on her pre (grrrr) over by Coral Square. Hero was much better than the Pre and the Epic so far has been a little better than the Hero.

As far as gain readings...:

Right now in my Room which has mediocre service (I'm on an island, I don't expect great service, but its decent). My signals for both phones are as follows:

Hero -93dBm (shows 3/4 bars on Froyo ROM)- no 3G test

Epic -101dBm (shows 2/6 bars, completely stock)- 3G download speed: 1233, 3G upload speed: 142

My girl lives in north laud. I bought her the epic n no complaints so far. She can't talk n use the net though - no 4g in fort laud yet.

There are in some parts... You should check out the amazing speeds on us1 from oakland park to mcnabb. There are other parts, too, but that's were I've gotten it. 7 down capped at 1 upload
[Epic 4G General] afflikt3d:
Thanks for the replies guys. Looks to have been a defective phone. She went and swapped it out for a new one, and is currently experiencing no issues at all. She can even pick up faint 4g occasionally from inside her house, whereas before, she couldn't get it even in a place I know it to be. So now I'm jealous lol.

Thanks again :)
[Epic 4G General] rufflez2010:
No problem. Glad you guys got it resolved
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] massus:
I flashed bionix 1.3 onto my bell vibrant, and everything seemed okay except for two (Big) things... One of which I've seen other people having troubles with, the other seems completely unique to me.

A) I have no 3g connection at all to any data whatsoever

B, and this is the one I'm completely pissed off about) I have no USB connection available to me. Whenever I plug in my phone to any usb, be it my laptop or even the wall charger... It shuts down and goes into a sort of sleep mode where it flashes between an empty gray battery and the "busy, loading" ring... Over and over. I can't turn it back on until I unplug it. So I can't flash the stock back onto it with odin because it doesn't connect to odin for more than 4 seconds before going into sleepytime mode. This happens when it's on, when it's in recovery mode, or download mode. ANY time I plug anything into the usb.

Any ideas?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] massus:
I also forgot to mention that my internal SD card isn`t being recognized by clockwork, so I don`t quite have the option to flash bionix again because I get the /data/ can't be mounted error...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jellyculligan:
I and my friend who has a non Bionix (stock) JI6 build are having this same issue. Really irrititating and no flashing ROMS have fixed this. I was able to ODIN back to JFD stock, but no fix. Basically I have to plug it in to be able to power it on, and it always reports USB as being connected even if it's just a power cable. I used to be able to transfer data just fine, I have all the drivers, etc. Phone turned off in the middle of the night and then started happening. Can't think of any specific change other then apps that might have caused this, but then again my buddy is having similar issues with non Bionix ROMs. Still have not seen any resolution to this. Hoping it comes soon, or analysis of if it's software or hardware.

[General Questions and Answers] richangel:
I just got my Samsung cellphone 4 days ago and I want to connect it to my computer but I don’t have cable and my phone also don’t have a Bluetooth. I just thought of my old Samsung cellphone charger and other USB cable. I asked my brother to connect the two so I can connect my phone to my computer. USB cable has 4 wires colored red, green, black and white. Samsung charger has 2 wires colored red and white. We did a trial and error of connecting colored wires. When I connect my cellphone to computer, my computer just restarted and my cellphone was turned off. I immediately unplug the USB cable from computer and cellphone. There’s no problem in my computer but my cellphone has. My cellphone keeps on charging even without the USB cable or charger plugged in it. And when I pressed any keys, it says, “Connected to PC”. I connect the charger to the cellphone and it says its recharging. But I cannot turn my cp on while its being plugged in wall charger. When I unplug my cp to wall charger and turn it on, it worked but after a few minutes. My cellphone is turned off again by itself. I don’t know what to do now. Please help me. Thank you so much in advance.

[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Has anyone found an app yet that will change the color of the notif led for sms, missed calls, email, etc? I have tried many apps with no results.
[Epic 4G General] spiicytuna:
Have you seen the LED show any other color besides blue?
[Epic 4G General] rufflez2010:
red and purple.

[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
I'm almost positive there is a full RGB notification light! D: I'm praying there is!

The NoLed app doesn't work at all on the Epic. Even with it set up correctly, the screen will turn ON for about 5 seconds, turn off THEN show the notification. Rather buggy and doesn't wake up from sleep sometimes.

Also, NoLed is a battery drainer. No thanks, the Epic has a notification light. We just need someone skilled who can develop a program like TrackballPro for the Nexus One!
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
I have seen that app before. I betcha that would REALLY drain our batteries. Im not lookin for an alternative i want led customization. the colors i have seen are red, blue and magenta.
[Epic 4G General] jirafabo:
Magenta or purple? What notifications give those? Seems like every notification is red, and 100% charge is blue. that's all i've seen.
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
No system notification gives the magenta color....

But randomly when the phone is fully charged (blue), i'll take it off the charger and it will flash magenta for about 2 seconds. I've seen it multiple times, but its possible that its just a combination of the blue/red leds. :(
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
I would hate it if the led blinked red for everything besides being fully charged. I really hope samsung didnt stick with a 2 color led :(
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Just red and blue guys. Confirmed by opening the test panel and trying to turn on green under led.

Btw - get to test panel in dialer by hitting #*0#*...lota cool stuff there
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
there is also magenta

blue + red = magenta...:rolleyes:

[Nexus One Accessories] PhantomRampage:
So the other day i was opening the headphone port on my commuter's gel case so I could plug in my headphones, but the small rubber ridge thats placed there to help you lift it up was partially torn off.

I emailed otterbox and told them my problem to see if they could replace it and they said "sure, no problem" but I made a mistake and said I had the defender in my initial email. When I got a reply they told me to give them some additional info (the model of the case and for which phone), so on my second email i was sure to mention i actually had the commuter case and they said they'd send me the new gel.

The replacement finally arrived in the mail today, but to my surprise I got an entire Defender kit instead of a gel replacement for my commuter.

So pretty much I got a free defender case. There's no "ship back your previous case" notice or anything, and they never asked me for a proof of purchase either. All I said was that mine broke, they asked for my address and name and sent it out for free.

Now here's the problem: I don't really want a Defender since it's too bulky.

It's more expensive than the commuter so I'm tempted to keep it but i really don't think it'll be as comfortable to carry it around.

Should i email them again or just keep it? I need to hear some opinions.
[Nexus One Accessories] chowlala:
Email them. Tell them they got a mixup and you're mad about it.

Voila. Free commuter and you get to keep the defender.

Fer sure. And now you owe me a beer.

First things first guys allow me to introduce myself to the XDA Community. I have followed this community for a while but never posted much because I owned a Samsung Moment up to now. I'm active on AndroidMobileSupport (as Perdurablo) and SDX-Developers (same Dreamsforgotten). I currently port and create themes for the Moment and Epic.

This is my very first theme for the Samsung Epic and I began on it yesterday so it's still got a way to go. The theme incorporates the two major colors of the Maya, Green and Red.

First you need to root

Nice, looking forward to it! Maybe a textual summary of the theme since you can't post links/pics?
[Epic 4G Themes] dreamsforgotten:
It has a maya disk as the unlock that you slide into a golden key. Maroon background on the pull status bar behind the widgets at the top. The background on ongoing items had mayah heads etched in grey. I have a picture coming here soon but due to restrictions LOL I can't post it for 5 minutes! Status bar is green fade to red and the text is red for titles green for secondary.

Thank you for the feedback.
[Epic 4G Themes] ragnarokx:
Looks sick! Only things I'm not a fan of are the spray-paint font of the unlock screen and the red characters/wifi bars in the notification bar (hard on the eyes). Otherwise looks awesome.
[Epic 4G Themes] dreamsforgotten:
Good, this is the type of feedback I'm looking for. This theme is brand new and I'll be making changes accordingly. I'm currently looking for a font to better suite the unlock screen, I put that one there as a place holder to show where I'm going with it. I want something a little more block looking and thick to fit. The red ticker text I was swaying back and forth on, but I think I'm going to go back to black it will display the best. The Wifi will probably look better black as well. I brightened the red at first to make it stand out but it bled together and was hard to tell the difference between the bars. Black sounds the best. Please don't hesitate to keep up the feedback/bug report so I can make this better for everyone using it! I've only got about 8 hours in I plan it taking about 2-3 weeks minimal to be smooth across many phones!

[Epic 4G Themes] lviv73:
Man,this is nice.Can you tell me how you changed the color of notification bar?
[Epic 4G Themes] dreamsforgotten:
Sorry, trade secret. :D

Nah, j/k, but I'm not sure what one you are referring to as the notification bar. The grey background stacked with the 4 heads? That one is status_bar_item_background_normal.9.png and status_bar_item_app_background_normal.9.png. The maroon top with the widgets on it is in twframework-res.apk called status_bar_header_background.png. And the green fade to red status bar is in framework-res.apk called statusbar_background.png.

Are those what you were looking for? If not let me know.
[Epic 4G Themes] decalex:
Thanks for making this! I'm glad you've joined the few that have taken the leap to theme the epic. Since you're asking for feedback, I'll preface this with the fact that I'm somewhat of a color nerd, -- so take it with a grain of salt :)

If you're using dark green (predominantly) and the magenta/purple color, I wouldn't use them right on top of each other, e.g. Purple text on Green background. They're pretty close to being complimentary colors which don't usually go well one on top of the other, or right next to each other. Personally, I think a really light green text looks nice on darker green backgrounds, or that the colors could look alright if they're not touching, e.g. along the notification bar. But I'm sure you'll get plenty of good feedback.

Keep it going man- awesome work!
[Epic 4G Themes] dreamsforgotten:
I agree with you. I went back and changed the status bar colors to black instead of red. I had the text colors implemented before I made the status bar but I like the status bar so I'm editing the fonts instead. My next update I will be changing the status bar fonts once again. The black is easier to read than the red, but with white you can see it from a farther distance. I'm sure people will appreciate the ticker text and all being as visible as possible.
[Epic 4G Themes] lviv73:
No not them,i know how to change them.Im referring to bar with 3G,battery,signal strength and time.The one you changed to green with red bottom fade.I don't think its in twframework-res.apk or framework-res.apk,it might be in jar file,can you tell me which line i need to change to change color,and is there a way to make it transparent?Thanx in advance.
[Epic 4G Themes] dreamsforgotten:
Yeah that's the status bar in framework res.apk statusbar_background. You have to go into policy.jar too to get rid of it showing black when you pull it down though. Im at work when I get home I have a theme on ams with the clear status bar and ill find out the exact xml file you need. You will have to save your statusbar_bar.png as a transparent image for starters. Ill work on it with you!

Now if someone would make a stock deodex rom, I'd throw this on in a heartbeat. looks great! I'd have to see if crake had a green battery % icon, though.
[Epic 4G Themes] dreamsforgotten:
There is a stock deodex rom, not sure but andromeda is stock minus sprint apps I believe. I plan on implementing the battery in percentages but I dont know if our kernel steps down in 5 percent increments if it does someone let me know itll be done! Keep with the feedback.
[Epic 4G Themes] dreamsforgotten:
Update will be out later today. Probably an hour or 2. Possibly V3.0 tonight including a themed vanilla lock screen and battery in %. The battery is highest priority and the lock screen is second, but if time allows I'll have it up tonight. Upgrades coming in a few hours include a change in colors, nothing drastic. Brightened almost all pngs to capture more of the superamoled screen rather than "dulling" an otherwise awesome display. Did not brighten the status bar so the green icons will stand out. I also changed all status bar text to white. This will remove any eye strain from viewing notifications. I brightened the standard lock screen (glyph) when pressed. Any bugs found please report I spent last night getting my phone updated to DI18 and today working on the theme in between life! I work tonight so if 3.0 is released you can expect it between midnight and 2 a.m. Central Standard time.

Has anyone else had issues with twitter/linking contacts recently?

Since the oauth issues I've had problems with it - obviously twitter client Peep wouldn't connect when the issues started - when they were fixed all my contacts duplicated for twitter, so I cleared the cache on peep and re-set it up, but not when I go into people to link a contact to a twitter contact, when searching for a twitter contact it's blank with no contacts.

The online directory from People shows all the people who are following me, but when i hit the link button from the contact and select twitter, there's no contacts listed at all...

Any suggestions on what could be wrong?
