it comes with a 50 radio.

There is a thread HERE where someone says the tmous 2.15.50 and the wwe 2.15.50 radio are slightly different. Just gotta wait and see what people report.

If i had the time and inclination i would flash teh tmous 3.14 rom and radio, just to see whether it unlocks the 576.
[G2 and Desire Z General] andrewilley:
I'm not sure if there is anywhere on here to ask general Android newbie questions, but please feel free to point me in the right direction if there is.

I'm trying to access the Android marketplace on my Desire Z, and it tells me to first log in using my Google user ID. However it won't accept my usual Google login (my account is based on my standard, non-googlemail email address). Instead it seems to want me to have a Google email address too, which I certainly do NOT want (I have enough email addresses as it is!).

Am I doing something wrong? Sorry for the dumb question, I'm sure there's a simple answer but it's evaded me so far.

Hi guys,

I hope it is the right category...

I dont know if anybody cares, but after I update to 2.1 I cant set the option automatic in the brightnes control ?!

Also after I rooted my x10 i dont get this "process list" on the top right corner, if you know what I mean...at 1.6 I had it...

If anybody knows anything else what disapeard just post it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmegaRED^:
Look at the widgets.. the middle setting is auto bright i believe. "if i'm correct"
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrtim123:
yup, you are correct. there is no tickbox in the settings screen anymore, but if you load up the widget and click it to the middle setting, this is auto brightness (not as bright as it used to be but still auto)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntax7error:
and whats about the "process list" ?
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
Ok, I've been reading all the threads about the 'leaked' beta that's being argued over etc. so I took it upon myself to chat w/ a Sprint rep about 2.2 and how to get my hands on this mystical beast..

When directly asked how to help beta test, the rep suggested that I contact technical support and they would "definitely" help me with that request.

FWIW..
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
No way any end-user is going to get a copy of that, sorry... Imagine the piles of NDAs you'd have to sign. They'd basically have to hire you into hardware dev. Sorry to burst your bubble, but it won't happen. :( That phone number is just to get you off their back.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
not in a bubble.. I just wanted answers :P

(i'm on the phone rt. now.. I'll post their answer in a few)

:)
[Epic 4G General] ericizzy1:
we all know its coming "this year"

opening a new thread every minute is not going to get this out sooner...
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
not sure how to answer this one (rolls eyes)

After talking to Tier 2 tech support on the phone, I emailed him my screenshot and he seemed really puzzled that an online chat rep would tell me this.

HE said he is not aware of anything going on for beta testing.. Further, he checked his 'inside' mail/communications about upcoming things etc. and didn't see anywhere that would imply that the 2.2 update would be here within the next few weeks but he said that's where things stand today and it was subject to change.

He did say that normally, they get the inside scoop before things drop so that they are prepared before the official drop/release of new stuff and he saw nothing yet to imply that froyo was coming.

Further, he also mentioned that Sprint does not normally do Beta testing that he is aware of and that sometimes people get ahold of things (leaks) before they're official (which we already knew)..

So there's the answer. Sprint doesn't normally do beta testing :)

keep calling and bugging them and see if someone else gets it LMFAO
[Epic 4G General] shabbypenguin:
or just wait....
[Epic 4G General] infamousjax:
Two things:

1. The online rep you talked to doesn't speak English and is not privy to any sort of inside information. They don't know ****.

2. The "Tier 2" rep you talked to doesn't know ****.

No way, no how will you ever be able to "beta test" for Sprint. They do their own testing, but they keep it under wraps pretty tight. Anybody you talk to on the phone is just a Sprint drone.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
Either way, you don't know if you don't ask right?

I asked whilst many whined about entitlement. (not implying that'd the case in this thread, but still..)
[Epic 4G General] BThomas22x:
Just a little fyi... when you call sprint reps, be careful... they work in prisons. Just found this out the other day... interesting eh?

[Epic 4G General] bigray327:
You wanted information and you called the stupidest people on the face of the planet? Why didn't you just go find the nearest homeless person or McDonald's employee and ask them to flash Froyo onto your phone?
[Epic 4G General] fromchaos0646:
I think that would be offensive to some homeless people and mcdonalds employees. Just sayin. xD

Other than that, I do have to agree, sprint employees are quite dumb. After being with sprint for 6 or so years, I would know. Especially in the first few years before they actually got their **** kinda together.

Also, I believe that 2.2 froyo will be coming out around the end of november. I'm going to stick to that. If not, then sprint is gonna have a ****load of people wanting their money back.

Sent through the Matrix
[Epic 4G General] notoriouspyro:
Wow... This is kinda offensive to those of us employees that actually know our ****. We're not all bad or idiotic or mindless braindead drones. There are a few good ones out there...BTW, I'm not call center I'm store rep, but I paid my dues at the center prior to this gig...

But yeah, none of our info actually mentions any type of updated release for Froyo...
[Epic 4G General] fromchaos0646:
Meaning that froyo is still set to be released at the end of november or that the epic will not receive froyo at all? If its the latter then I among many others will rage and most definitely return the epic.

Oh and no offense. Just stating that I've dealt with my share of sprint employees that aren't the brightest crayons in the box...

Sent through the Matrix
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
There is absolutely no doubt that the Epic will receive Froyo.
[Epic 4G General] notoriouspyro:
It will get it, I spoke with a rep at one of our conferences and he did state it was coming, but he just had no idea when. I know doesn't help to move things along. But be patient. Hell I had to wait until a week ago before employees were able to get our epics, so good things do come to those who wait.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Just wait until he gets next months bill and for some reason they switched him to a family plan with international roaming because he called in and asked about Froyo.

Rule #1 - NEVER call sprint unless you absolutely HAVE to.

Rule #2 - If you do HAVE to call, make sure to check your account online IMMEDIATELY after getting off the phone with them no matter what you were calling in about.
[Epic 4G General] fromchaos0646:
As long as froyo is a definite, its all good. Just gotta be patient even though its hard to wait for something that will make your phone truly "epic".

And damn, that would suck. Never have I experienced that with sprint but in the future ill look out for that. Idkillabitch if that happened to me.

Sent through the Matrix
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
Ditto. Remember folks, the BBB can be a sledgehammer. ;)
[Epic 4G General] entropism:
LOL, no, they don't. They work in call centers, though some of the reps like to compare it to prison.

As for the beta testing, there is a VERY long, drawn out process to be a beta tester, and it's not what you know, it's who you know. I had some fairly high up individuals asking to get me beta team access, and I was shot down damn near instantly. However, a former coworker's brother got him into the beta team, and he was receiving phones almost 6 months before they were released. It was pretty awesome playing with the new stuff before any info was ever leaked to the net, but these folks are NOT techies like us, they just play with the phones and report any obvious bugs.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
What's funny, is I actually DID check my account afterwards LMFAO :p

Just sayin'
[Epic 4G General] bigray327:
Not nearly as offensive as buying an expensive phone, then calling Sprint for help and getting connected to some untrained monkey. How they manage to summon the brain power to even answer the phone is beyond me.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] onagh:
Hello Vibrant Community

I am a 40-something former Female Techie and I have had my Vibrant for 90 days. I have Build Number ECLAIR.UVJI6, Firmware version 2.1-update1, and my last software update was around the end of September.

I came from MyTouch3G, can't remember the build or the firmware but I believe I was on 1.9(??) in July when my dear phone hit the deck one too many times. I need some help with changing environments. After 90 days I am still having some "transition" issues (yes, user error I am sure!). While Vibrant and MyTouch are essentially the same OS, the packaging and "custom" interfaces HTC and Samsung use are a little confusing. There were features on the MyTouch I absolutely loved and relied on that I simply can not find on the Vibrant... even in searching for apps, I still can not recreate some of the features. So I am coming to the best place I can think of - to the men & women who create the applications. What I love most about my Android is the Apps, and it is people in this forum who could best explain how to find what I want.

My search of the forums over the past few months hasn't netted the results I am looking for, so if you know of a thread that will answer my questions, please direct me!

My questions:

The dialer & contacts on the Vibrant with the Gmail/Twitter/Facebook synch. I am unable to assign ringtones to contacts from either app if the contact is "coming from" gmail, and not a saved contact on my phone. Even if I create the contact and save to phone, then go back and synch manually, I lose the ability.

I have downloaded several apps to try and fix my issue, but so far I can't find anything to work correctly with the resident dialer.

Visual Voice Mail - a TMobile package app. I simply can not get it to work since the last firmware update. I have removed, reinstalled updated, you name it - and nothing works. Do any of you have any info?

Battery. Is there anything I can do? Any new insights? The last thread I saw on this topic recommended App Killers, and mentioned a few specific apps. A TMobile rep recommended TaskOS I kill apps through out the day with TaskOS, but lately it's been 3-6 hours before it dies completely, whereas before the last update I could get nearly 12-16.

Thanks for your help. The MyTouch was my epiphany into Android - and I am never leaving. I have joined the Borg and I have assimilated. I got my first Droid at the MyTouch Online LAunch in 2009. A TMobile sales rep convinced me to wait instead of buying an iPhone to run on TMobile's network. Honestly, the lack of support and equipment protection was the clincher, but I am so glad I listened to that young lady. I beat the crap out of that phone, constantly dropping it... in water.... on cement.... MyTouch was a champ, usually surviving 3 drops before I had to call the insurance. I truly thought I would never leave MyTouch, but.... the Vibrant has stolen my heart and you will have to pry the device out of my cold dead hand.

And thanks to all the developers. Without you my phone would be a brick!

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] aksoutherland:
Hello, I thought I would try and offer some answers, but thanks to your post I now realize I also am not able to assign a ringtone to a specific contact.

I also came from a MYT3G and completely love my Vibrant.

For visual voicemail, is your phone rooted? If it is I may have an idea and am looking now to see if it will work, I don't use the app myself, but may be able to assist.

Battery life, we will start with task killers do more harm than good. There is a very good write up about it on XDA, being a noob, I am not able to post links. Basically the OS is designed to multitask and will kill apps as needed. So there is no reason to worry about this.

Having said that, the latest update will cause considerably more drain as it boosts the antenna signal, but you should still be getting more than 3-4 hours from your phone.

Do you have tons of widgets running, each time a widget updates, you are using battery, have you tried turning off wifi and gps when they are not in use.

Also I have noticed that when I am in a area that doesn't have a strong 3g signal, the phone will bounce from 3g to edge and that will cause the battery to drain faster. If this is happening, just set the phone to use only edge networks.

We can also try to recondition the battery. To do this, drain the battery down to about 5-6%, charge all the way up with the phone turned off. Then drain again, turn off phone and charge, this will recondition your battery and give you considerably longer life.

After making the changes I have listed, I now go from 7AM to Midnite with only 30% drain on an average day.

It is also possible that you may have a rogue app that is killing your battery. If you go to settings>about phone> battery use, you will see a list of what services/hardware is using resources on your phone. You can also go to settings>applications>running services to see what services are running. There could be something here that is causing you extra battery drain.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

When you use rom manager you are using the fake-flash method.

Favorite roms?

For speed: complete eclair 2.21 its amazing :)

For stability: idk you tell me

For customization probably icyan froyo or there sense rom

For battery life: complete eclair or the official 2.2 from my touch

What are you guys favorite
[G1 General] KeithRVA:
I use the official mytouch 2.2 rom, it's stable and good battery but kind of bleh. Also like cyanogen and biffmod, but they both made my touch screen all crazy (press the top notification bar and it activates an icon at the bottom of the screen...wtf??). Could be just a hardware issue with my G1, but I can't use them as daily drivers. Really like cyanogens boot up screen and wallpapers. Biffmod has some cool options in settings (overclock), and I like being able to enter bootloader from the power off menu. I have the official ota rom backed up to nandroid, so might flash something new for kicks, any more suggestions?

Yea you should try out HTCclay super bad 1.7 thats my main rom i got it backed up with nandroid its stable and stupid fast batterys also good :) nice wallpapers etc and ommmm perhaps the new froyo sense from zackattack and them
