Yes, I was initially planning to take a picture and post it for other members' review, but when I posted my first post, it was around 4 a.m. in the morning, so I couldn't find enough daylight to take some pics. :)

I am linking to a picture I took a few minutes ago, in low sunlight. The quality of this picture of outdoors is acceptable. I am also attaching a picture that I took at a restaurant; this picture - a cropped part of the pic with no modification to the quality of the pic - is just to show how grainy and washed out the picture is.

I understand the lighting in the restaurant was low, but still, even with the flash, the quality of the image leaves a lot to be desired. I took that pic with all the default settings, meaning I had not selected the "Indoor" scene mode (I am not sure if that would have improved the picture vastly). Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

Edit: I just took another pic of the outdoors using Camera 360 to compare the quality of the default camera application on the Epic to that of Camera 360's. This pic is sharper than the one taken by the default camera application on the Epic.

I noticed something about the signatures for the e-mail accounts. I changed my signature on one gmail account and it changed my signature on all my gmail accounts and my Exchange account. Shouldn't I be able to change the signatures individually?
[Epic 4G General] ravizzle:
For camera quality: are u tapping the screen and letting the little box turn green to focus?

Sent from my Epic 4G
[Epic 4G General] incisivekeith:
Yes, I am focusing before taking pictures. I got my phone swapped today and the new one's camera looks better. Although, how true is the notion that installation of apps can slow down the phone (quite natural) and this can affect the quality of the pictures because of the delay?
[Epic 4G General] ravizzle:
Not true at all. If u have many process intensive apps running I can see some some lag, but just installation of apps won't do anything.

Sent from my Epic 4G
[Epic 4G General] incisivekeith:
That is what I thought. It doesn't fit that the lag on the phone can actually reduce the quality of the pictures taken by the camera.

On another note, I have imported contacts to my phone via a vCard file. I also have a default Gmail account configured on my phone. Can I sync the contacts on my phone with the Gmail account? And, can I sync contacts from my phone with Outlook Express or Outlook on my PC? I have been reading a lot of opinions on this, but none has had a definitive answer.
[Epic 4G General] Koadic:
To sync the contacts stored on the phone to your gmail account, first you need to export your phones contacts to your sd card, then you import them right back in, but when given the choice, choose to import them to gmail account (all done through Settings->More->Import/Export, even if you already know some future reader may not :D)

When you have accomplished this, you will have multiple entries for each of your contacts, so you will want to go and either go to Settings->Display and deselect either the phone or gmail contacts, but I would suggest hiding the gmail, then deleting the (now duplicate) ones stored on the phone, then of course unhiding the gmail contacts. If you somehow delete one that didnt get uploaded to google properly or something, at least you already have a full backup on your sd card that you can reimport.
[Epic 4G General] incisivekeith:
[Q] A few questions about and issues with the Epic from a new Android user

Thanks for your response. I haven't had the time to apply the workaround for the contacts, but I will certainly post the result here.

On another note, I was wondering about the following:

- Why doesn't the voice activated action take place automatically? When I say a voice command, instead of just performing the command, the device pops up a list of options (including an exact match of my voice command) matching my voice command. If I am required to select what I want to do from the pop-up list, what's the purpose of the voice commands?

Edit: The above functionality works that way, it seems.

- My battery indicator (and GPS Status app) shows the batter level at 97% when I receive a message on the device that the battery is full. How come? I read about this on the forum, but didn't find a solution or the cause for this. And interestingly, if I keep the phone plugged in a little longer, the indicator shows a charge of 100%, but as soon as I unplug the phone, it reverts to 97%.

I miss little things on Stock Android on the Epic such as the option to see the duration of calls. Shouldn't Stock Android (not the apps) have widgets similar to those on the Today Screen in Windows Mobile?

Any thoughts from the community? Thanks.

Edit: I just found out the the in-line controls for the headset for the Epic don't work reliably at all. I am not able to end a call when the screen is off. A couple of days ago, I was at least able to press the in-line control button and bring up Call Log on the phone; I am not able to do that today. Also, is it true that the in-line mic is faulty, too? I found some comments regarding the in-line controls and issues similar to mine in these threads (thread1, thread2), but no solution. Why are such basic functionality missing from such a good phone? Is there a solution to this?
[Epic 4G General] incisivekeith:
I would appreciate some input on the issues I am facing, either saying there is no solution to some of them, or point me in the right direction. Thanks.
[Epic 4G General] ravizzle:
i get the same charging thing it will only charge to 97%. i bought two extra batteries and also came with an external battery charger, if i charge with the external charger and pop in the batteries they show 100% so it must be the phone isnt charging it to 100.
[Epic 4G General] Koadic:
As far as the charging goes, I find that if I have it plugged into a lower power charger, like charging from a usb port on my computer, sometimes it will charge all the way to 100% and stay there when unplugged. Otherwise, I can get my phone to charge to 100% if I have the screen on full brightness while charging. I dont know if it is because it stops charging when it reaches a certain voltage or what, and if the screen is drawing power while charging, it isnt getting charged as fast, so it wont 'trip' the sensor saying the battery has a full charge as soon because the power draw keeping the voltage a little lower. Of course this is just speculation on my part.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mothafizzy:
I had the same thing happen earlier, I was flashing back a stock ROM in Odin, which I have done before, and this time it was doing the cache files and the phone went black and removed from Odin, now this PC-Computer icon is up. Holding down the power-button just blanks for a second then puts back to the phone-pc screen, my phone was hardware locked so the power+volumes does nothing, and the computer won't recognize the phone in adb. :confused::eek:

Download Mode trick.. it worked for me.

Ok guys! here you go.... If you feel like you semi-bricked your phone and cannot boot into download mode.. there is a trick that might work for some or it might not doesn't hurt to try, but damn sure worked for me... Make sure phone is connected to computer with ODIN Opened,..

1. Unplug your phone from usb

2. Take out battery (and mini sd and sim)

3. Plug usb back into phone.

4. Hold down up and down volume keys while putting battery back into the phone. IT SHOULD BOOT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE. if not sorry. Sometimes when people flash back and forth the up and down volume keys get reversed... so try volume down and power.. or volume up and power. GOOD LUCK!!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mothafizzy:
No luck, currently going through a relentless trial-error process of different usb-battery-sim/sd-volume-power buttons. Just found out insurance which I thought was covered on my phone via Asurion through T-Mobile is only covering one of the phones on my line, yet I bought them both with warranties at the same time... Pretty bummed, Only is looking like paying the deductable fee for a new phone as if lost/stolen.. Hope something pulls through.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcghee1973:
Just a small deviation

1. Take out the battery

2. Plug the USB into the phone

3. Plug USB into the PC

4. Hold down the Volume up/down + Power button with one hand

5. Put the battery back in with the other hand

6. Wait for the phone2pc icon to flash 2 times and on the second time when the screen goes black release only the POWER BUTTON

7. When you see the digging Android you can let go of the Volume buttons

That is the only way I could get it to work

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to synchronise The new Mozart 7 with Outlook for contacts and calender ?

Thanks.
[7 Mozart General] judged:
That is the way I have got my contacts etc onto my Mozart ignoring the sim card route although it was via work Outlook by Exchange
[7 Mozart General] FoggyPWC:
The only way I managed to do this was to setup a hotmail account and copy all of my contacts within outlook. Provided you have the outlook connector installed you can add the new hotmail account to your mozart and the next time you sync it will transfer over all your contacts and appointments.
[7 Mozart General] feygor:
unfortunately i have the 64-bit microsoft office, outlook doesn't work with wmdc or seemingly anything else, never has worked and microsoft seems in no hurry to fix this, oh well, luckily most fo my contacts were in my windows live ID so it all got synced
[7 Mozart General] Maxwell Smart:
I've got it syncing via exchange. Have to say for all it's failures (it is going back sadly) at least it syncs outlook flawlessly but then it is a Microsoft product..

Have sync'd two exchange accounts, contacts, calendars... and it's smart enough to not double up on duplicate contacts.
[7 Mozart General] jacksprat:
There is no ActiveSync possible in WP7. You have to sync via some sort of online service (Hotmail, Gmail, Exchange, etc).

FYI, even Microsoft recomend against using Office 64bit unless you are working with mega huge spreadsheet type data (4GB+ files).

how to sync notes and tasks from outlook 2007 to WM7?
[7 Mozart General] g01d3n:
does anyone know how to do a GAL lookup after you setup the device with an exchange account?
[7 Mozart General] sleleu:
Synchronization with Outlook

Hello,

It's possible to calendar, contact...

1) You must add a microsoft plugin in Outlook 2010 (Outlook.Connector)

2) Create a new account (ex : .....@live.fr)

(This account should be the same as WM7 phone account)

3) The news informations of calendar or contacts are send in account @live.fr

when you click on SEND/RECEIVE

4) You start "Hotmail App." on the mobile (with your account) and you synchronize.

5) The news "Outlook Informations" are now in your mobile phone

I am currently getting service from Tmobile USA and I have been waiting for a real high end phone to come out so I can upgrade to it -now that the MyTouch4G and the HD7 are coming out -I am thinking about getting one or the other

...so far one thing that disappoints me about both of them is that they seem to have just a regular LCD screen (not an AMOLED, SLCD, or SAMOLED etc...)...I like the look and eye candy of WP7 and the games it seems to aim for...but then the specs of the MyTouch4G are good because it has a next gen processor and almost 1gb of ram...also it is capable of using Tmobiles new network speeds...(not sure if the hd7 can do that or not)...

the only two phones coming out for HSPA+ are the g2 and the mytouch. HD7 will not support the new speeds. So it depends on what you are looking to accomplish. Me personally? I wouldn't go hd7 just for that reason alone.

I would think some more people would have something to say since the MT4G has been released already...
[General Questions and Answers] erebusting:
I would say...I would choose the HD7, but put the next gen Snapdragon CPU, and the RAM (about 768mbs?) from the Mytouch4G into the HD7. I would also like to take the internet capabilities from the Mytouch4G(HSPA+ I believe?) and put that as well into the HD7...Then I would also like to make the HD7s screen something like an SLCD, AMOLED, or S-AMOLED display...

How does that sound? That is what I like about each...

Well, considering you are new, I am not sure if I should go easy, as you should have recently just read the rules on posting on XDA.

But anyways, feel free to use the search feature, it is very useful.

For roms, go to the rom section, find and run DSIXDA's device_info.bat which will give you all your tech specs about your phone, and will enable you to find a rom. Read all the stickies as well, as these will inform you on what you need to do to be able to run a custom rom.

For themes, you can check the Windows Mobile Themes section. This will give you lots of ways to customise your phone.

Also, What was the shouting for, Caps Lock day was some time last week...

Performance wise, there is limit to what the elf can do, it is an aging device. But there are some overclock programs etc out there, and task managers to help keep your ram free, some roms come with a camera hack which disables the camera to save about 3-4mb of ram, or there abouts.

Now its up to you to have a search, if you have any questions, make sure you post in the correct thread. Due to the age of the elf(in), it is highly likely someone else has already had the same issue or idea or query.

Hi there,

I'm rather new (so sorry if these are dumb questions) to all this flashing / rooting / de branding and had a few questions about it..

Well i bought the x10 on mobile network 3 (three uk) and tbh they are ****. First phone i had i debranded using the SEUS copy file method over, but since then i have had them replace the phone. i tried the same method but as SE have updated SEUS i can't get it to work... :|

So looking around i started reading up on rooting.

Firstly if i follow this guide xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=711907 will that debrand the phone to the generic firmware?

If that is the case will i then be able to get future updates through SEUS or not?

If i rooted the phone, would there be anyway to go back to the so called unrooted version?

And lastly, what are the other pro's and con's of rooting?

Thanks, and sorry if these are silly questions!
