[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
1. How easy is it to brick or break the EVO? I'm pretty careful but the Captivate is nearly unbrickable. Just wondering how much more careful I need to be.

Pretty difficult. 99 times out of 100 if you screw something up, there is a way to fix it.

2. Is it easy (possible?) to fully restore the EVO back to stock everything, unrooted, if I decide to return it or have to do a warranty exchange?

Absolutely. It's really easy to do too. Search the development forum, there is a thread there that details how to do it.

3. I know it's a long shot but any former Captivate owners (or perhaps Epic owners) that can offer a comparison of battery life?

I do not have a way to compare, but I put a fresh battery in my EVO yesterday morning, used it moderately throughout the day and still have 40% battery life.

4. How long does it take to fully charge from 10% battery remaining? I know that sounds like a silly question but one thing I (and others have noticed) regarding the Galaxy S phones is they take a really long time to charge. The battery life isn't great, so I feel like I'm always trying to plug my phone in because it's slow to charge but fast to drain.

Not sure. I don't ever plug it in to charge, I use a spare battery charger. I have 5 batteries so when one dies, I put a fresh one in.

5. Not EVO specific, but as many of you may have switched from a previous Android phone to an EVO, does Titanium Backup move from one device to another? In other words, if I move my titaniumbackup folder from my Captivate running Froyo to an EVO running a custom ROM (say, Fresh), would it restore apps and data (NOT system data necessarily) correctly? Captivate is my first Android phone so I've never tried...

I'd imagine it would work fine. i used Titanium to restore a ****load of my own apps (free ones, of course) onto my buddy's phone and it worked fine. I would stay away from trying to restore the system data though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wfrandy:
It isn't easy to brick the Evo, but it isn't as brick proof as the captivate.

Much easier than the Captivate, in my opinion (odin sucks). I had to unroot my wife's Captivate recently because she was having the random shut down issue. After dinking around with Odin for way to long I finally ended up nandroid restoring her original stock jf6, through clockwork, that I made immediately after rooting, and then using one click unroot.

My Evo seems to get slightly better battery life (Running Fresh 3.3.0.1) than my wife's Captivate does with rooted JF6. That said, I have had my Evo for 3 months and have learned how to set it up to get best battery life, whereas with my wife's Cappy, I only dink with it when she is having a problem. I suspect that if I worked with her phone a bit the battery life could be a bit better than the Evo.

We both charge our phones at night, so I can't say which takes longer, but my Evo takes about 1-2 hours to get full charge from less than 10% left.

I don't know, I have copied some apps between our phones, but always installed them manually. My guess is TB might work for some apps and not for others. I personally wouldn't do it that way.

Hi everyone,

In sense roms, when you are browsing the net, and reading emails, when you zoom in on the page, the text is made to 'auto-fit' the screen width.

Is it possible to implement this into the froyo roms? because it is quite annoying when you are reading something and constantly having to swipe side to side

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astron46:
Been trying to root N1(FRG83) without unlocking bootloader. Downloaded android-sdk to c: drive and downloaded usb driver.

When I boot the N1 into fastboot mode and type fastboot from the cmd prompt on the computer it sees the phone and gives me the serial (HT****)

When I try the same thing from ADB (ADB devices) it doesn't recognize the phone. I just get a blank line and go back to the command prompt. I've tried this on 2 machines (1 Vista the other Windows 7) and get the same results.

The frustrating thing is that I actually had the phone recognized with the ADB devices command when I first set it up but got called away from the computer and never had a chance to run the rooting routine.

Anybody out there solved this problem?? All help appreciated.

Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junooni.1980:

Downloaded drivers as you suggested but no luck. Also tried reinstalling sdk. Debugging is on, Java is installed, I'm out of ideas for the moment.

When this happened to me, I restarted my PC and it worked.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
If I recall correctly, adb won't work while the phone is in fastboot mode - and that fact that your fastboot commands work fine indicates that it shouldn't be a driver issue. Make sure you're running the adb commands when your phone is actually booted (at least to recovery).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpjimmy:
If the phone is recognized by the computer via usb, but the adb does not see the phone connected, you just may need to simply delete and reinstall the latest USB driver that is offered.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] athornz:
There is actually an issue with Nexus One's where the adb composite interface doesn't work. It seems related to the issue with the broadcom driver and the mac address starting with 38.

See here - http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9437 - for more info.

I have now upgraded to frg83 and it works fine.

Now I probably jumped ahead and did something I shouldn't have, but I put JI6

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=797282

onto my o2 SGS. I've still to root & remove the AT&T bloat, but for the most part, it works. However the home button doesn't seem to do anything, plugging in my USB cable reboots the phone and my network connection seems to come and go a lot. Not sure if this is just o2 having a bad day or if it's the phone however.

Has anyone else tried this yet?

I think I'll go back to JPK or an Eclair build, despite everything else being lovely, these little bugs make the phone a bit unstable for daily use. Unless anyone can suggest fixes for the home button, network issues & data cable?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daneshm90:
1. Wrong section.

2. Let me guess, u don't have 3button method for getting into download/recovery working ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmwilker:
on the Captivate the 3 button combos are:

Stock Recovery: Volume up and down and power. Release the power after the first screen shows

Download: Volume up and down, insert usb.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samhark:
Sorry what section should this have been in?

Hmm yes the 3 button combo is gone, tbh, I hadn't tried that yet, was more just looking at day to day stuff. But yeah I guess if I'm going to flash this to something else I'll have problems as I cannot get back to recovery and the phone shuts down every time I plug in the USB cable...

Ok. Played with it a bit. Seems things are more serious than I thought. I cannot make calls. So I need to get back to a UK ROM. But since the phone shuts down when I connect the cable I cannot use KIES/ODIN on it. And I cannot get into Recovery as the 3 button combo (and vol up/down) don't work.

Suggestions?

Use Bookmarks to SD in the app store, but you have to download dolphin HD as well to assist with the sync, you will have to export your google bookmarks and sync them online first with bookmarks SD.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ags29:
Download 'MyBookmarks' from the market and itll ask u to export ur bookmarks from ur computer and upload the file to the app's website, then u go on ur phone and download it. The app will then add all the bookmarks to ur android browser.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] lotherius:
Hmm... nothing to auto-sync bookmarks? Wish there was an XMarks for Android!

I use gomarks, its free and syncs up with your google bookmarks. You can even sort by categories.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] floepie:
Chromemarks syncs your Chrome bookmarks with the app itself. So I use the app to hit up my bookmarks.

Hello guys!

Since long time ago I have somethimes strange problems with my 3g internet. My apps wont open correctly with "connection refused" error- like Tapatalk, Facebook app and many others. So as a start ai tought it was my service provider's fault, but all my friends don't have such a problems and are using same provider.

Today finally I decided to perform the Ping Test in my Phone information service menu and here is what I got:

Ping IpAddr: pass

Ping Hostname (www.google.com): pass

HTTP Client test: Fail: IOExeption

So obviously something is wrong with my phone, considering the last test.

What are your opinions, guys?

Do I need to send it back for repair?

10 fingers.... lol. That almost seems like BS to me. It's pointless. Seems like manufacturers are trying to squeeze any inane feature into their phone to make it seems like it's the "next" big thing.

Do we really need a higher resolution with the same screen sizes? Everything we have now looks great at the current resolution. Maybe someone can explain the benefits of increasing the resolution?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notown775:
what requires you to use 10 fingers? i cant find a single app that runs 3 point multitouch.. ... good luck with that..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
I would love to see a higher resolution screen. However, I wouldn't go so far as to put 1080p on a smartphone. 1280x800 seems like a practical limit. For starters, the web browsing experience would be just like a desktop web browsing experience. And you could play 720p video. And hopefully, with Gingerbread, we could fit more widgets onto our home screens.

I have a net book that's 1024x600 and even that is limiting in its use.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
I use more than 3-points using Nesoid to play NES games for several games. 10-point is overkill, though, IMO.

If you scroll down the article to the latest update, it reads:

"Last update : Jack Wong has just unveiled that he will abort the old screen resolution of 780×480 and replaced it with the a new 3,5-inch screen offering a iPhone 4 like resolution of 960×640 which will be called Meizu M9. Moreover the Meizu M9II will be equipped with a 4-inch screen with a resolution of 1024×640."

The real questions are how good is the GPU and is it a real HDMI out. Processor speed and RAM is the same as the Evo. At this point, the Evo's 4.3" screen is bigger than the M9II at 4", and the Evo has a better camera, a front-facing camera, the kick-stand (which I use plenty with my SlingBox), and a lot more accessories and development. I wouldn't buy this over an Evo just for the resolution.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Award Tour:
Well whatever the summer 2011 Sprint/Android phone is, I do believe that it'll have a higher res screen. The Adreno 220 (which comes with the dual core 1.2 GHz 45nm Snapdragons due in the first half of 2011) supports up to 1280x800 but I doubt that we'll see that in anything but tablets. On phones we'll probably see the dual core CPU down clocked to 800 MHz - 1 GHz (which would still make it a lot faster than anything on the market now) and the same 1024x640 display as on that phone. Why 1024x640? All apps would scale pretty perfectly (same ratio as 800x480).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hydralisk:
I disagree with a few things. Let's start with the web experience. Sure, having a desktop resolution means that you could see more of a web page... but with a 4-4.3" screen, you can't read text that small. Besides, you can just zoom out to see more. So I'm not too convinced there.

As for widgets, you can load as many as your launcher allows. HTC would fit more widgets if they were smaller. Same size as they would be if you increased the resolution but kept the same screen size. I think the limit we have now is fine simply because anything more would be really cluttered.

The Galaxy S phones can play 720p movies, but of course they are downscaled. But you still get the same level of detail. It's insane watching a 720p movie on my Epic. Can't imagine anything being sharper than that.

I mean... the iPhone 4 has a larger resolution than the iPhone 3GS... but the desktop experience is unchanged. Icons are the same size. Still need to zoom in to read small text. Etc etc...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Award Tour:
I disagree here. It's not really about seeing more, it's about the clarity of small text (which gets easier to read at higher DPI's.

The iPhone 4's display is relatively small compared to the EVO's 4.3" but even at that size the extra DPI makes smaller text more readable on the iPhone 4 than on the EVO. I should know since I own both and have perfect vision.

4.3" w/ a 1024x640 resolution would be KILLER for web browsing and e-reading.

I was wondering if someone can give me a hand here. :rolleyes:

Galaxy S Fascinate, I was playing in odin and tried doing a nand dump. It just sat there for awhile and never completed. So I disconnected the cable and attempted to put in the battery and reboot normally.

However it just goes to a screen that shows a phone, a yellow warning and a computer. Assuming odin did not reboot the phone therefor did not close the connection.

Is there something simple I'm missing...:)

I am rooted running 2.1 update1 and also have clockwork recovery!

What I tried that did not work. Restoring boot through clockwork recovery and a full restore as well.

For future reference is there a way to send a reboot only command through odin?
