[Epic 4G General] jblparisi:
UI performance all around is laggy on the Evo (i have used both side by side) and that is even running on Froyo 2.2.

Camera performance on both photo and video quality mode are a pathetic joke as well, the Camera on the Epic is much more usable.

This illustrates my point well, check it out:

[Epic 4G General] jblparisi:
I used to think that way until i saw some of these:

http://androidforums.com/samsung-ep...ee-your-favorite-picture-taken-your-epic.html

I would say the Epic is a pretty good replacement for casual photo taking.
[Epic 4G General] mmegalodon:
Gonna assume you didnt see the double post, which I'm ashamed of. Phone cameras are good for shooting silly pictures of anything from your baby puking on himself or your drunk friend passed out with his junk out.

If camera quality is so important to anyone they have a shooter. I have admitted, and will forever admit you have the better cam quality between the two phones. Doesn't mean anything though, to be honest, for the majority.

[Epic 4G General] hoihtah:
coming from a touch pro 2, this is what i've noticed.

same resolution + slightly smaller screen = higher ppi

higher ppi usually and in this case means crisper text.

i haven't used my epic under the highest brightness setting... in fear of screen-burning and battery drain.

So, really can't comment on much more.

but overall, am very happy with epic.
[Epic 4G General] ydoucare:
If you can read, it clearly says I see a battle. Everything else you said is your opinion, like everyone else's. MY PENIS IS BIGGER THAN YOURS! OMGZ!!1! EPIC SCREEN IS NOT TEH BETTAR THAN TEH EVO OMG!!!!111
[Epic 4G General] nerdtaco:
The Epic's display is in an isometric pattern, rather than a grid pattern like almost every LCD screen out there. I know for a fact that that will make straight lines look fuzzy, because my TV does the same **** when I try and use it as a computer monitor.
[Epic 4G General] pkny:
I like my EPIC but i don't love it.

I read a lot of emails and it is not really readable sometimes since it looks fuzzy.

But since i do reply to these emails i read; the keyboard is key. I cannot reply back as fast or as accurate with a on screen keyboard.

I really hope people here know that "IPS" is just a nick name for resolution just like "HD". It irks me to hear people say their HD screen is better then my 1920x1280 screen and to hear people talk about IPS like its some sort of new technology.

But really, why do evo and epic owners now sound like iphone owners?

Both phones are great. Can anyone really go wrong with either or?
[Epic 4G General] AndrewZorn:
MORE nonsense! Please don't get uppity with people if your correction for them is also wrong.

IPS is a type of LCD. Not a NEW technology, but it is a technology, and tends to be higher-quality. Mostly celebrated because of its relative rarity in cheap stuff.

HD is now an entirely meaningless term. Case in point.

I'll even go out on a limb and say you are mistaken about having a 1920x1280 monitor. They exist, but I think you meant x1200.

Most of the grainy/SDE/resolution/PPI/density arguments against this phone are summarized once you know it only has 2/3 the subpixels of a normal RGB display. The resolution is not comparable to that of the Evo, but that isn't to say it is not 480x800. Incredibly disappointing, but I still ordered the Epic. Someone always has to screw up an awesome technology.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
To clear some stuff up..

1) the jaggedness is because of the PenTile technology used in super amoled and amoled

2) Neither the iphones IPS not Epics AMOLED display true colors..super amoeld is around 30% over saturated and iphones is 30% under-saturated BUT Super AMOLED is balanced on the color Gamut, the iphone IPS is off by quite a bit on the blues. Over saturation though can be adjusted via a color profile as they did with the N1

3) There are other things that go into a display other then pixel density such as refresh rate, contrast and etc

4) There is an android phone that has an IPS and its a global cdma phone but its not available in the US yet..but it can roam verizon via cdma

http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/04/sharps-is03-android-phone-packs-retina-display-minus-the-brand/

5) The pixel density between the Epic and EVO is actually fairly close even considering the Pentile.
[Epic 4G General] pkny:
Oh gosh..... your right!! I am not going to even pretend to argue because you are right in all points

IPS is a type of Thin Film LCD and it is staring me right in the face. This viewsonic I have at work is a IPS screen.

I am at work and can't remember my home screen but

1920 x 1080 = 16:9

1920 x 1200 = 16:10

1920 x 1280 = :confused:

Your right again about the 1920x1200!!

Next time i will just do some research before i start ranting for no reason.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
The iphone IPS screen is glass not thin-film..unless you meant TFT...
[Epic 4G General] pkny:
Yep i meant thin film transistor.
[Epic 4G General] AndrewZorn:
I don't see how TFT and glass are mutually exclusive... pretty sure the iPhone is TFT just like every other popular LCD device.

Display >> LCD >> TFT >> IPS >> "Retina", Evo's screen, etc
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Well if you have a 2011 Super AMOLED which is a Thin-film only and no glass it can make a difference, here is a video:

Hi, I'm a noob, and I just saw the really easy way to install the black status bar. I really like it, and I'm going to install it. But, if I do it now. When 2.1 is released will it disapear, or will it wipe my phone or anything?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] meegs:
Easy answer is we don't know for certain but I expect when 2.1 is released it will factory reset the phone so you will prob lose it

P.s I haven't seen that thread, anyone point me in the right direction?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] siddharthsai:
You'll loose everything on your phone ( excluding the SDcard data ) ... Its a major platform update and you'll get a fresh phone like when you got it in the first place!

All you have to do before the update is - Use your backup software ( i prefer the inbuilt backup and restore ) to backup all your data and settings..

Good Luck

Since im rooted, cant i just download clockwork from the market and flash clockwork that way? Or do I have to use odin?
[Fascinate General] durakbane:
I'm a total noob, but I believe you need to flash with odin. I haven't heard of being able to install clockwork via market. Again, I'm a noob. My sequence involved rooting first, then clockwork.

BTW, flashing with odin is simple as long as you click PDA and NEVER PHONE.

EDIT: I believe in following what works in this instance, it is odin.
[Fascinate General] BAleR:
Ya i see what your sayin, im a noob to this phone but not rooting in general. I had an EVO before this and i never needed a computer to do anything on that phone. I mean I thought this phone was more "open" then others...
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
The difference is in source code availability and development. If you never used adb commands that was because someone wrote something that does it for you.

It takes 30 minutes tops to root, install CWM, deodex, theme, remove bloat, and voodoo.

Nothing to it.
[Fascinate General] BAleR:
So can i just flash cw from the app?
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
Yes.

It won't work though.

[Optimus 7 General] iosub:
I just got my LG, and I would like to keep this post with other Optimus 7 users comments (There is not and especific Forum for Optimus 7... )

What I like.

1.- The social Network Integration on Contacts.. It's great, usefull...

2.- The size of the phone, the battery 1500 is perfect, I can keep wifi, Bluetooth and APN all time on

3.- Zune integration..

What I don't like:

1. alarm app is simple no vibration, I need alarm vibrating for wakeup :-)

2. SMS, if you are writing a message and you move to another app, the message is not added to draft, so when you come back the SMS is gone. (tip, if you press the back key is gone but if you press windows Key and move to another app is not gone)

3 The keyboard... IS bad has hell, no multilanguage, no Compact or phone layout, no vibration on key press. You cant select t9 on/off.. I have my phone in spanish, if I write on english I have to go to Settings and dissable corrections.. If I don't do this and write in english (like right now) I get "bad" corrections to spanish...

4 It does not have ring and vibration ! It vibrate and then rings , so if you have the phone on your pocket and you dont get the first vibration, you will lose phone calls

5.- there is no "silence" profile if you have activated the "vibrate on call".. so if you are on a meeting (you can only select, sound or vibration) or you need to go to settings and disable vibration.. then you have Sound and silence..

6- I was not able to connect zune with my windows 7 x64.. I had to use my other windows 7 x86 computer..

Please Microsoft, remember this is a phone, the first priority are the Basic phone features... My old Nokia (7 years ago) have these features

Iosu
[Optimus 7 General] Spybreak:
Answers to a couple of your points:

3. The keyboard DOES have multilanguage. Go to the keyboard settings and select more than one language. It will work just as on the iPhone, you get a little key with "ES" or "EN" and you can press to change the keyboard language whenever you want.

That's the way I have it :)

6. You have to download the 64bit version of Zune, which is a different link. Go to the Zune download section and look for the part where it says "if you have 64bit Windows download this special version".
[Optimus 7 General] iosub:
3.- YES!!! thank you!!! I have now both languages... "Gracias"! did you find if there is a way to enable keyboard vibration when typing?

6.- Yes, I download the 64 bit version, what it keeps telling "Connection Error, Can't connect to your phone. Disconnect it, restart it then try connecting again."

I have download from Microsoft "ZuneDevices.exe" and I have check the logs.. I get..

[Optimus 7 General] YodaEXE:
I gotta say, this is worrisome. I keep hearing more and more things that make me think instead of buying an HD7 next month I should pick up an Android phone...
[Optimus 7 General] iosub:
well it's up to you, but my recommendation .. Just wait until Microsoft post an update.
[Optimus 7 General] YodaEXE:
Well, the problem is that I can only wait so long. My current phone is a Blackberry that's barely working at this point, and badly needs to be replaced. I can't afford to be without a cell phone, since I need it for work. This means that I either get a cheap phone to use for a bit, get a WP7 phone and hope that an update comes out to fix some of these problems that I have for it, or pick up a Samsung Vibrant in a week or two.

I really, really want WP7 since I love all the positive things about it, but lately I'm hearing a lot of negatives that, while aren't deal breakers to me, are still things that would be an annoyance. Guess I'll have to just keep watching the forum here and see what people say, while I wait for the release of the HD7 on T-Mobile.
[Optimus 7 General] Spybreak:
De nada :) There is no option for haptic feedback when typing, it might come in an update, but who knows.

As for the 64bit problems, sorry, no idea. It works on my virtual machine (I'm on a Mac) with no problems.
[Optimus 7 General] sylau90:
get a palm pre 2 on Verizon...its gonna to be awesome IMO.anyway,I can tell you I'm a WM and Android users. Palm got the potential to chase up.

WP7 still in the premature stage,I think there are many issues.hope the update coming soon.

@iosub,is the game quality good?furthermore,can you check 1 thing for me?when you playing music(on speaker or headphone),and then lock the screen.Is the volume button working?can we adjust the volume when the screen off?

Thanks a lot...cheers,hope you enjoy your device.
[Optimus 7 General] Spybreak:
The Palm Pre 2 is the same low-res device as the Palm Pre but with a faster CPU, which most people already had thanks to overclocking. Palm needs to release a 3.8"-4.0" device with no physical keyboard and a decent battery to compete.

They have an amazing OS which I love to bits, but until the hardware is up to par I won't be getting another Pre (already had one).

As for games, the ones I've tried are pretty great and up to the standards that the iPhone has set. We just need good developers to make more.

The volume can be adjusted with the screen off, no problems with that.
[Optimus 7 General] sylau90:
Oh,I see...Haha,yea...thats true...I see the potential of HP Palm webOS,they need more developers...actually,nowadays,they improve their SDK a lot and provide the PhoneGap tool for cross platform apps porting....

Thanks a lot ya...for your information.This feature pretty important to me and it is missing in WM6.5 on my HD2.
[Optimus 7 General] N8ter:
Agree. HP needs to drop the "Palm" brand so they can make useful devices. Everything about the Pre Plus was great except the processor, keyboard, and screen size - which actually looks smaller due to the form factor.

Looks like they're imtent on "torching it" though...

[Android Themes] Hieber:
Is there any way to change the icons for the apps and actions in the framework for a Sense rom? Im a rom that is based on the 2.1 Rogers RUU, and I detest the icons that Sense comes with. So I was wondering if there is any way I can change them permanently. So, none of that bettercut stuff.

Thanks!!
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
I'm not totally sure where you're going with this. In order to change the status-bar icons you need to edit the framework-res.apk. In order to change the icons you need to pull system/framework/framework-res.apk from your phone, decompile the apk and overwrite the icons you want. Compile the .apk, sign it and push it back to your phone.

Since you're mentioning Bettercut I'm not completely sure what you're aiming for, though. If you're talking about the icons linked to the application on the other hand this is what I've got. I'm sure there are alternate ways to do it:

Pull the desired application from your phone and change the icon directly in the res folder.
[Android Themes] Hieber:
Sorry, I know I wasn't being completely clear. I wanna change the icons for the applications in the app drawer.

So I have to pull the system/framework/framework-res.apk. Then replace the icons (assuming they have to be the same resolution?). Compile the apk (how would I do this?) and then push it back to system/framework/ ?
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
No, the framework is not linked to the icons in your app-drawer

I'm not 100 % on this, but you're gonna have to pull the applications you want to edit one by one.
[Networking] Technodude88:
So a couple of weeks ago I bought a new HTC desire outright on Telus. I got it unlocked to use with my rogers prepaid sim card. So far so good.

But when popped it in, set up the apn and tested out the internet, I got a message saying: "Before using the mobile internet, you must have a valid mobile internet option. To continue, select from the following:" and it went on to list the data day and week passes for smartphones.

But, i DO have data. I have the socialite 20 prepaid data plan which includes

unlimited internet. Before the desire, I was using the plan with my blackberry bold just fine. Anyone have any ideas as to why my generic data plan worked on my bb but not my htc?

Any help is much appreciated, thanks. :)
[Networking] smoke_weed:
Maybe cause your on a blackberry specific plan ?

im not really sure never had this problem

then again i never used an unlock phone on rogers just got a phone with a 3 year contract :\
[Networking] Technodude88:
That's what i thought at first. but I'm just on a regular data plan.
[Networking] Earbuddy:
something similar happened like that and I called rogers who assured me out was a glitch in their system. just needs a data reset.
[Networking] Technodude88:
so all i have to do is ask rogers to reset my data?
[Networking] DangerPanda:
I remember that the unlimited data only applies to the selected payg rogers phones using the wpa network?

However, if it turns out to work for you then I might get that plan too ;)
[Networking] Technodude88:
Well, I gave that a try, but no dice. :(, when i turned on my phone after they reset my data, i still got the same message, any ideas? The person i was talking to said that it would only work with feature phones and not smartphones. But obviously not as i could use my blackberry...
[Networking] Technodude88:
Any help, ideas, or opinions, ate greatly appreciated.

And I could just get an android data plan but I can't afford paying around 60 bucks per month for the amount of data I use, around 3 gigs.
[Networking] ChiccoFR:
Naive question : have you tried to put your SIM (the present one you have in your Desire) in your old Blackberry ?

If it's not working either then definitely a problem with your carrier (probably misconfiged your plan when you changed your phone). Just call'em again and again...Sorry no more ideas then...

If it's working in your BB and not your HTC then probably a conf problem on the phone itself OR (like said earlier) your data plan (not the fees you pay or the customer contract but I mean the real configuration of your profile in the network) that is not the same for a BB and a regular smartphone.

That's nearly always the case, BB using different data services that other constructor....If that's the case then......calling carrier support again and again and again :) to make them correct that...

As for the network conf of the HTC itself, I guess you have verified everything, especially the APN part ?
[Networking] Technodude88:
so i gave that a shot and it works fine in the bb, and yea i double checked my apn settings, guess im just going to have to bug rogers untill they point me in the right direction :p
[Networking] DangerPanda:
I think your problem is that you are not using a valid smartphone data plan, the unlimited internet option is only available to Roger's dumbphones/bb. If everyone were able to get unlimited internet on their smart phones with $10 a month, there wouldn't be a need for a data plan right?
[Networking] Technodude88:
so i found something interesting today,

if i toggle the data on and immediatly load a page, news feed, video, whatever, i can get maybe 3-5 seconds of working data, which is progress :D

its as though it starts and then identifies the phone i have, and sees that its a smartphone, so it shuts it off... or is this a phone problem?

also, if it is and i.d. thing, is there any way to make your phone appear as though its a dumbphone? sort of like changing the user agent or something?

thanks in advance :)
[Networking] farazars:
i hope you've had your data plan restored, but in case you haven't, i asked Rogers for a "special reset".

i rooted and flashed cyanogenmod 6.1

my data was working

then when in windsor, it lost my Rogers (Canada) data network but logged on to an American AT&T data network

Even when Rogers was available again, and AT&T was not, it just never came back.

the technician told me it might have stuck to the AT&T network and a data reset would fix it.

it did!
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
So, I posted a thread asking about the Wifi issues I have been experiencing, hoping someone had some insight. Apparently a sincere question that hasn't been addressed in previous threads is unfit however, as pulser_g2 sent me a nice message letting me know he trashed my thread.

So I will ask again.

I noticed with my N1 that I could pick up my Wifi signal at a distance of about 95 feet from the unit with a stable connection. With my fascinate, I am only able to stray about 35 feet before it drops and jumps to 3G.

I was kind of hoping that someone might have some insight as to whether or not this is a PURELY hardware related issue. I was hoping that there might be some tweaking that could help me out.

If someone could maybe please chime in before this somehow offensive inquiry is canned, I would appreciate it. I respect the knowledge base here, and would hate to have to leave for other forums to ask what I feel are legitimate questions.

And yeah, I'm a little annoyed that the question was canned, when there's a veritable plethora of completely useless posts floating around here.
