media player

I've been using MixZing and it seems pretty sweet.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] G_won:
been using winamp myself, but i'll see what this offers

btw one thing i missed about my dedicated music player (cowon D2) is that I could blindly tap on it a couple times to randomly go to the next track. Like the "Next" button is right on the edge of the player's screen so tappin that would go to the next song... with the phone however i gotta do the whole unlock screen thing of tapping a button, drag down to unlock THEN tap to go to the next song. Not as elegant as simply tapping a couple of times to go between songs which makes things bleh when doing hectic freeway driving and a song comes on that i don't wanna listen to :(

so if anyone found a fix to this then please feel free to share? :D
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] smonme:
I'm confused as to why you can't just press skip with power amp lockscreen controls...

Anyone notice when trying to skip a song with your headset (not the official crappy one in the box) that you press the talk button twice it calls while the song is playing at the same time.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Tiburoncariduro:
also in the paid version you can use your songs as ringtones that only is a plus!

Vote for Poweramp

Awesome app - easily the best Android music app by a mile. The clincher is the fact that it does proper gapless playback which is what I've been craving ( - nothing else apart from Rockbox does this but the interface is so ghastly that I'm almost willing to put up with gaps.... )

Bought it within hours of trying it - can't argue about this is it does everything I want - something that none of the others does. Try before you buy and you won't regret the purchase.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] student.driver:
I wonder if there is an issue with your particular version or if other applications are causing the drain. I've had this on my Nexus One, G2, and now my mT4G. I've found that when it's running, it uses less CPU than the stock Android music app, and way less lag than the media room app on this phone. When my phone is idle, it drops to less than 1% per hour of battery usage, even with PowerAMP paused.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Tiltpoet:
Hmmmms
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] smonme:
I concur, I get better battery life with PowerAMP than any other playback options available.

So I hard pressed the sense clock/weather on my home screen and removed it thinking I could easily get it back. I've check everywhere on my phone and can't seem to find an option that will allow me to restore it. I could do a nandroid restore, but I want to figure out how to restore it for future reference.

I especially like the 28nm part. It's too bad that it's going to come in Q4 2011-2012. By then Samsung will have made something even better considering that their Orion chip competes with this one and is coming as early as next month (maybe via the Nexus S) or at least Q1-2 2011.

[Fascinate General] Raccio14:
After trying to do a root, following all the instructions on this site to a T, my phone booted up and presented me with a "SD card damaged, you may have to reformat" message.

I can click on it and hit reformat, but nothing happens.

I've tried doing the Odin recovery back to the stock /system, but that didn't seem to do anything. I've also booted into android recovery mode and tried wiping the cache partition, as well as doing factory reset.

HELP PLEASE!!!
[Fascinate General] Raccio14:
UPDATE: the SD card is recognized when plugged into my computer via microSD adapter. Re-formatting on computer to the standard FAT32. will let you know how that goes, but still open to suggestions on assumption of failure.
[Fascinate General] Raccio14:
Update 2: format failed. Popped it back into phone to try a last-ditch attempt at SOMETHING working.

It's still giving me an error message, though it's a different one;

Tried to format it on my phone, and it does nothing yet again.

how to proceed?

This EXACT thing happened to my SD card, and while rooting, EXACTLY according to instructions.

I wound up just opening the automated Root batch file

Something about the SD card mounting to the computer, and the computer rebooting while hanging onto a file for read/write.

I took it to Verizon and they replaced my SD card. It was even rooted, with Wireless Tether right on the home screen, LOL. Oh well.

Can someone please help? I bricked my phone trying too flash the modem and I keep trying too recover using Odin. I put the tar file in the pda part and the pit file in the pit section. I got both these files from the how to recover brick thread. But when I click start, it gets stuck on the param.lfs part. And the words PARAM go into the white box above the progess bar. Can someone please help? Im scared its bricked for good.

EDIT: I was able too get passed param.lfs but it keeps freezing in different spots, it never completly finishes. Odin is soo unreliable :/ At one point it got too 50% but my phones screen turned pink and it froze. Is there any other program I can use? Or a more stable/reliable version of odin? I have version 1.0 and i've tried 1.3 and no luck too

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drakkahn:
I had a similar problem awhile ago with a 2.1 flash. It worked out fine. As long as you can get into download mode you should be ok. You don't have a brick.

Just follow the instructions on the flashing back to stock link that is in whodamans post.

I used the .pit in this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=773032 with the DI18 update in this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=794138

I did have an issue once where I fixed it by just using the DI18 update and not the pit file(it seemed to find the pit in the update i guess...anyone feel free to correct me on this if i'm worng)

If that doesn't work
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigray327:
I've yet to see a truly bricked Epic. People that use that word should take that as a sign that they shouldn't be flashing.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leatherneck6017:
I had the exact same problem with Odin freezing at "param.lfs". First of all, Odin is hit and miss. A lot depends on the USB cable as well. I ended up having success with Odin once I switched back to the original cable that came with the phone. Also try different USB ports on your PC. Some people have reported problems when using front panel ports. Try ones in the back that are directly on the mobo.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drakkahn:
good point about the cable, although most of the time I see recommendations against using the stock one for anything but charging.

I use a BB cable that seems to be thicker than the stock epic one and haven't had any issues.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasha101:
Ok, ive gotten passed param but It keeps freezing at different spots! :( is there anything I can do?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drakkahn:
try again...

unplug the phone, pull the battery, restart the computer, walk away for 5 minutes and take a breather, then come back and try it again. As the above poster said, Odin can be screwy and it can take multiple times to go through sometimes.

Make sure to use a better usb cable if you have it available, or borrow one from a friend.

also, make sure to restart Odin in between attempts
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasha101:
I've been trying since like 12 PM and its 5 PM now :/ but ill keep trying, thanks.

Have you tried different USB ports?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasha101:
Yea, ok so i kept trying and it none of the tries worked so I just wanted too see if maybe it worked but it wasnt showing that it did. So i click power and it starts too BOOT! it said samsung then went into a black screen, then it went into stock recovery. Can anyone tell me what to do from here? I think there is no rom in my phone and I need a stock samsung one too flash through samsungs recovery. Can anyone help? I apreaticate everyone whos tried too help.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fczeuner:
I am using Odin 3 v1.3

I don't use the .PIT file at all.

I put the SPH-D700-DI18-8Gb-REL.tar.md5 in PDA and make sure it's checked

I uncheck F.Reset time

Put the phone in download mode and hit start.

I you still are having problems try a different micro usb cable. Samsungs cable sucks.

Good Luck
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrewZorn:
I clicked on this thread because I knew this attitude would be present here. You're saying 1) the reason for the problem is 100% this ROM and 2) no one can be trusted with this ROM because some have had problems... great.

And I also came in to say this, almost. I don't have too much Epic experience, but yes, people always say ZOMG ITS BRICKED and what they MEAN is it isn't behaving how they expected after a flash and it may require a reflash/recovery. If something is bricked, it is a useless mass of plastic and metal that might have some value sold on Ebay as parts.

...though I'm not discouraging people flashing. Just wish people would stop using 'bricked' as a catch phrase, and instead just tell the story and ask for help.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infamousjax:
Sasha if you cant use Odin to restore it, then it's bricked. My advice? Take it back to Sprint and get a new one.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasha101:
What should I say too the sprint employees? I thought bricking the phone ruins the warranty. Also I am able too get too stock recovery and download mode, but odin doesnt flash any rom fully, it always stops. I tried too just flash pit and that worked. Is there any other program you can use or can you flash the tar from the stock recovery which I can get too?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eazail70x7:
I had a similar issue when my phone got screwed up from tring to flash a custom rom. Odin was giving me serious issues and it was inconsistant. Eventually it started saying "fail" for my flash attemps and the only way I was able to fix my phone was by using clockwork recovery to reflash the custom update to DI18.

Now I'm too scared to try to flash a 2.2 rom cause I don't trust odin :(
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prodigyplace:
Maybe Whosdaman should get the mods to pull Odin since it is so unpredictable. From what I have seen on the forums, odin is probably more unpredictable than the newest Froyo leak.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Top Nurse:
Actually simply rooting the phone voids your warranty. The ethical solution is to just go pay full boat for a new phone and chalk it up as a "learning experience." If you want to be unethical just swing by the repair store and tell them you woke up this morning, it doesn't work, and would theey please fix it. ;-)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fczeuner:
Just return it. If it has the stock recovery and wont boot past the Samsung.com screen they wont be able to tell you did anything. These phones are notorious for having internal SD card errors. Sprint will replace it or reflash it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diego1985:
What about just having phone insurance? Doesn't sprint goes through Assurion phone insurance? I mean i plan on switching to sprint from at&t. I know after being with tmo, verizon and at&t i have always gone through Assurion. They give you 2 phone replacements out of the year. Maybe people don't deal with them because they replace with refurbish phones. But, if you simply screwed your phone up. Like i have in the past, you don't care if its refurbished or not. Ive never had to worry about warranty not covering a phone because i bricked it. They send my phone replacement and i return my screwed up phone in the box my refurbish phone came in.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Top Nurse:
@diego1985:

The ethical issue is about who pays for our making modifications when we get to the point where it don't work no more. Should the manufacturer pay when we deliberately modify something and the phone gets borked? :confused:

Personally I have the Assurion insurance just in case my phone has some "accidental" type of problem. If push comes to shove the most it could cost me to play around is the $100 co-pay. However, with all the playing around I have done with all my Treo's and now Android's I have never "bricked" a phone (not counting the ones who have dropped off the roof or fell into the lake) to the point where I couldn't repair it myself. Soldering circuit boards and modding software is part of the "fun." :D

[Galaxy Tab General] calin75:
As it comes, with the original firmware no. You'd have to flash the euro firmware in order to be able to use it as a phone+EDGE. You also need another sim card from T-Mobile that has voice and data activated.

ah ic, so just

1.Flash Euro version Rom

2.Insert T-mobile Sim with Unlimited Data plan

You will only get phone service no internet at all since tmobile is blocking the internet of all tabs running on non web connect plans, and web connect plans can only be on separate accounts not on voice plans
[Galaxy Tab General] Adapt0r:
It should be some clarification done. Wifi internet will work with or without Sim card. Btw. the tab can operate on 5GHz wifi which is almost free fron interference.

You can buy a sim card with 7 days data pass for $10 and try. My works with prepaid for voice calling and wifi for data.
