[Epic 4G Android Development] sndtubes:
Ok, guys, I'm a stoopid noob. These things are waaayyy more complex than the Win Mo phones.

I rooted my phone about 2 weeks ago. I used a 1 click root method. I think it was supposed to have busybox and clockwork mod in it. Seemed to work ok.

I removed a few of the "bloatware" apps and added a few others that required root.

Now, I did the OTA update to DI18 and it worked, but seem to have capped upload speeds. I read that if the kernel isn't stock, it would not work right.

Since I didn't flash a new rom or anything, shouldn't I still be on the stock Kernel? My kernel number is 2.6.29

Any help is appreciated!
[Epic 4G Android Development] awenthol:
Correct, you would have had to manually flash a different kernel, as the one click root is nothing more than unlocking.

Via EVO on XDA app...

So I know in the early builds that it was necessary to play with the backlight settings but is that still needed. My Auto Backlight is always switched off as I just go with the Energyrom standard full brightness. But before booting Android I always turn off the backlight timeouts (30 sec & 1 min respectively).

I just wanted to know if this was still necessary as it's one more minor annoying step when I feel like using Android. Just curious, thanks for anyone that knows
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] santroph:
AFAIK it is not needed anymore. I leave it in full auto and with timeout in windows and in Android everything is fine.

[Epic 4G Android Development] scthom:
Most likely that's the "standard" android recovery mode. If you were using ROM Manager to reboot into recovery, then try powering off and using the three-finger reboot into recovery instead (volume down, camera, and power). That usually works for me and reboots into ClockworkMod recovery instead, where everything works fine.

Thanks to all who replied. I got it working. This is actually not my phone. it belongs to a friend. I own the Fascinate and find it a little easier to mod. I am however happy I am having the opportunity to brick this phone because I am learning a lot. I am still used to my Motorola Droid 1 Being completely open and easy to mod. I have only been working with these Samsungs for a couple of days.

Edit:Yes I did mean to say brick as I have bricked and recovered three times now. I dont understand the people who don't enjoy doing this sort of thing. I have been having a blast with Android since my first introduction with it on the G1. Now can someone help me with issue #2? I have installed the OTA update and then Rooted with the one click v2.2.6 then reinstalled clockwork recovery. Everything is working great except...The market will not download. It runs and searches just fine but seems to be getting stuck on the starting download. I have been unable to download any apps.

I am stuck in ClockWork recovery mode

Can some one help me on this? I boot my epic to ClockWork recovery but now I am not able to get out of it. Every time I try to select anything and hit HOME button, the screen goes off and doing nothing and if I hit HOME button again, it goes back to Clockwork recovery mode. I even took out battery and put back in and try to reboot it, it still goes back to recovery mode. Am I missing something? Please help.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Gr8gorilla:
Ok, Now that a brave soul has torn down his phone and confirmed the fact that our memory is there, I think that this must be the greatest device I have owned so far.

I loved my Nexus One. When I bought a Vibrant and lost the Nexus, I was really upset because I had to keep that piece of junk. (I still have it). Then I saw the G2 and had to have it.

The build quality is solid. My hinge is fine, besides I don't text while hanging from my tail so even if it was a bit loose I think I would be OK. The reception is about 3x better than my Vibrant and the wifi works at school, something neither of the two Vibrants I have had did.

Having Froyo again makes me so happy, and the fact that Cyanogen is getting one and will probably personally put CM6 on it, will make it even better.

Since we have so many complaint threads, I just figured we should have at least one thread that talked about the good things this device has to offer.

I hope to have this phone until I am ready for an upgrade.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TL24:
I couldn't of said it any better homie. There's too many folks around here complaining instead of enjoying the damn phone! Now that its been confirmed that we do indeed have 4gb that makes having this phone an even better feeling.

Here's hoping for a permanent root asap! Id like to thank those who are working hard to root the G2! Good ups to y'all!
[G2 and Desire Z General] EuroSpeed:
I love this phone as well. I was ready to retire my g1.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jorsher:
I second this.
[G2 and Desire Z General] elracing21:
I love my phone. Hinge isnt a big deal but if i get told it is a defect from tmo or HTC then i will replace it for a new one.

Besides this I love it. The keyboard is awesome, Music is nice and loud on the speaker, reception hasnt been a problem and I have even had some reception in train stations in NYC. The pics can be amazing in the right lighting and the vids are amazing period.

Only negative for me has to be the in-call volume... It's type low, but other then this the phone is perfect and I will be keeping this for a very long time.
[G2 and Desire Z General] elusivebyte:
You know, I hadn't made a single phone call since getting my phone. I'm more a text, email, and Gtalk kind of person. So I just called 1-800-Goog-411 to test the in-call volume. At max volume it was uncomfortably loud! I don't see how anyone can complain that the volume for calls is low.
[G2 and Desire Z General] charlieton:
I had a G1 and it was a great phone. Although I always felt that the G1 was a little slow.

I did have to "reboot bootloader" after getting some FCs in every app. I was downloading so many apps Im not sure which one caused it =)

I got the G2 a little worried about the 800MHz processor on the G2. But omg the phone is silly fast. This android phone is a complete joy to use. If you have any doubts about the G2 and you had/have the G1. The doubts are unfounded. The phone is amazing. I love everything about it. No problems with the hinge. Battery power is great too and I'm on it all the time. Everyone that has held it, compliments the weight and feel of the phone.

The HSPA is so fast.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Snuggl3s:
I'm a lucky one to not get a loose hinge but even if I did I never txt upside down anyway lol. I never really cared for the memory as id never use up 4GB lol but its just nice to get what was promised to you and see now we do have it its a nice feeling. I freakin love the sound quality on this phone. The heavy weight from the phone and how it feels oh so nice and metaly. Anyone who's played with a Vibrant can tell u just how cheap that thing feels. Glad to be back on stock Android and glad to have bought this phone. I hope everyone else feels the same way. If not hey, u got buyers remorse haha jk jk

[G2 and Desire Z General] Blueoval24:
Looks like a lot of us are coming from the G1. It was a great phone and really got me hooked to the smartphone scene. But, I was soooooo ready for an update after a few years and the G2 has delievered! The speed and visuals alone are key traits for me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
I really dont think there is a hinge problem at all. The video with this alleged hinge problrm is no different than mine or anyone elses. If you hold the phone upside down by just the keyboard at the right angle it will slide down. the screen bezel is metal and heavy. just gravity. its a really cool design, imo. way better and much more smooth than any other qwerty kb phone I have had.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ikm19:
I love g2 too coming from i4. Battery was running low on couple of days but after couple of cycles it seems its getting better. The only complain I have that I am not able to sync my hotmail email.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
I am glad the ***** fest has ended. maybe we can focus on important stuff now like enjoying the phone? We really need some help with root...

I'm not really sure what to with it since this backup partition is a first for me and most others. Unless we think of something super inventive.... we may have to wait on an ota? The general idea now is that froyo can only recognize 2.5 GB (well 2 really but I'm counting the the other part as radio, bootloader, spl, etc.) and/or a mirror image backup of default system on hidden partition. No one here really knows much about rooting exploits so we are all learning as we go. Just a suggestion, take a night off... enjoy your phone and help us out tomorrow, please. Like I said, no real experts here so don't feel intimidated or like you can't help because you know nothing. Those that have made roms/themes/or mods are especially needed because at least we have a background in some android/linux stuff so we're gonna have to lead the way. Also if you are new and know little, just read through the root thread and look at the past exploits that are linked in the thread to give you a general idea on what to do and how to do it. I can tell you that no one if gonna magically appear and root the phone for us. We can't continue to count on the big developers who don't have this phone and have a 100 other projects going. I wish it was that easy but I just don't see it happening. You can ask for help from some one if they are willing but its unlikely we will get more than just a few suggestions. There are folks keeping an eye on the root thread but it seems like they don't want to intervene for some reason. I think it's something like letting your kid find out how to ride a bike after you just take the training wheels off. you just have to let him do it on his own. he'll figure it out eventually. Or I could be wrong and they are all burnt out from the BBQ still. Plus, the phone's just getting released. some have waited on the retail stores to get theirs. We'll get there soon enough! I'm just glad y'all can enjoy your phones finally. I was mad the first night too but figured that it was hidden somewhere and started to enjoy the G2. This thing is so damn fast! I did get rid of the 3D drawer though. It was too tricky for me to scroll down sometimes. I'm loving the new gmail, a2sd, and other 2.2 features. The speaker sounds great too, nice and loud... also the trackpad light is cool too. the graphics on the games and lwp run so smoothly compared to my MTS. oh, the 2.2 market is freaking badass. nice to be able to see all those apps we couldn't before. the multitasking/process manager is so much better than 2.1, it's just crazy. I could keep on going but this post is long enough, hahaha! I hope to see you all in the development section soon! enjoy! :D

Hey All, I am new here and am really thinking about getting a G2 and I'm coming from a iPhone 4. I'm just getting board of the iPhone scene and I just want to get some opinions on if you think the G2 will be a good jump.

[G2 and Desire Z General] southeastbeast:
U know what I really like over my nexus one ? Loud speaker phone !!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] -RotorDemon-:
Same here.. I love my G2. I ran into an old friend today that had to show off his EVO 4G and told me that his phone is the best device out there.. I had to say "Sorry, lets do a benchmark and a bandwidth test." Downloaded speedtest and quadrant.

His EVO ran 2.7Mbit where as I pulled 6.2Mbit. His phone scored an 847 where my G2 scored a 1599.

All he said after that was "my screen is bigger."

LOL.. I love this fu**ing phone!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Kienz:
LoL @ "my screen is bigger."

I think people are confusing Galaxy S phones with pmp's. It seems that the primary arguments from Vibrant owners against the G2 are:

Mine has a S-Amoled.

My screen is 4", versus that "tiny" 3.7".

Just wait until this gets Froyo.

Ok, I loved the screen on my Nexus 1 before I ever knew S-Amoled existed. And I never looked at it and though, "Man, this screen could sure stand to be so much better."

That .3 inches of screen is nice to look at. But it's certainly not enough to overlook all the blah that comes along with it. (touchwiz, bad/no gps, lag, no led, no flash, etc.)

And finally, ok, maybe the Vibrant WILL outperform the G2 when it finally gets 2.2. But, for all we know, the G2 could be on CM6.1 by then. Samsung has been FAR less than reliable when it comes to any sort of deadline for the update.

I perosnally wish I hadn't stuck with that freakin' phone past the return date. But I was kind of stuck, as my wife had already claimed by Nexus as her own (after coming from her CM6 G1). An dthe thought of going from Nexus to Vibrant to G1 gave me JUST enough pause to miss my return date. *sigh*

In any case, that's just my .02. By the way,

Anyone wanna buy a slightly used Vibrant? LoL.

Amen about nothing comparing to stock Android!

All of our department Directors at work use Evo 4G's (yay we use Android in an enterprise environment!). A couple weeks ago I had to do a factory reset on one which was stuck in a boot loop. Long story short....I got it out of the boot loop and reconfigured the phone so I got a chance to finally play with Sense UI...and really, I hated it. I don't know if it's just because I'm such a fan of stock Android but it felt like the equivalent of running WindowBlinds on an Android device. Ironically I found out a day or two later that you can turn off the Sense UI on the Evo 4G's.

I <3 stock Android
[G2 and Desire Z General] daijizai:
Nexus one user here that returned the phone. Too many quirks about the ROM and T-Mobile still refuses to acknowledge there is a problem with the phone using all its memory, or provide proof via detail that makes sense on how it does.

Even T-Mobile Executive Customer Care was useless. They were polite, but offered less than Customer Loyalty in terms of customer support.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tankmorph:
Looks like you may have jumped the gun there. Its been proven now the G2 does in fact have 4GB of NAND on board. How its used is still a mystery, of course. Since the official release date isn't until tomorrow, you should have given it more time.

I'm also a former N1 user, and the G2 is better in many ways. The radio is the best part for me. No more opening apps or clicking links and then crossing your fingers. The network connection just plain works. Streaming is way more reliable too.

There are a few other quirks with the G2, but I think I'm gonna keep it. It sounds more like you have a case of buyer's remorse and were just looking for an excuse to return it.

Is there anyway to send music to my car while still retaining good music quality?

the aux cable is proving to be a hassle.

Heard about a black berry bluetooth device they ppl on the mbforums use...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
that must be your car that is crappy, because i stream BT audio from the phone to the car every time i drive, as it is easier to update my phone with the latest music i want to hear.

quality is perfect, car deck is a CZ509 10" sub, and yes the sound comes out loud and clear on all 6 speakers including the most beloved bass and sub boom bomm boom

if the car got no boom, it is boring to ride.

SGS is my #1 DJ phone, it rulez, yeah baby!

oh! oh! the best thing is, i luv that sweet voice of it, when it tells me the time of the alarm in the car, and if some one calls me, emails me, text me, it reads me all with that sweet lady voice of its

and it will automatically switch between music to hands free phone conversation, and back to audio when the call has ended.

my wife is actually jealous of my SGS as i seem to be spending more time in bed with the phone than with her.
