Most of the people in this Epic forum do not search or read anything before asking questions! I don't know why that is but I do notice that a large majority of these users here are noobs and that is no excuse. I'm sick of reading through these Epic forums and seeing the same questions over and over!
[Epic 4G General] smoothone:
I can't even believe you started a thread for this! I have seen you ask this question 100 times in all the dev threads. What lag are you talking about? The two second lag when you try to unlock your phone? Just use No Lock from the market, it is free. Just click on the no lock widget and you can unlock your phone by pressing any of the three hardware buttons on the Epic. I think that the benefits that this rom has over 2.1 roms make it easy to justify using this rom even with the minor touch screen lag that some people have. And by the way my phone doesn't have that lag anymore since wiping EVERYTHING and using Dameon's rom. I hope that makes your day!
[Epic 4G General] dalvarez7:
Sorry for the drama folks, I didn't mean to cause so much frustration. You're right, I didn't even think about pissing people off with that screen shot. I won't release the DK17 for several reasons.

1. It's not the final product. There may be serious bugs. I don't want to be responsible for what happens to your phones.

2. The biggest reason, I don't want to get fired! lol

Again, Please accept my humble apologies for flaunting having an update. That wasn't my intent. I just want everyone to know that flashing any leaks my have bad consequence.

Everyone is right, I shouldn't even mentioned it! Won't happen again.
[Epic 4G General] socos25:
Seriously dude are you four years old or something.. Are you laying on your back right now kicking and beating the floor??? For what? Because you don't have a buggy beta release of some ROM??

Get a grip.. Grow up. . Get a life.. . All I can say is WOW!! I almost feel sorry for you.
[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
I got the modem installed but the new rom build doesn't work for me. Can I just flash back 4.2 while keeping the new radio?
[Epic 4G General] deciple:
Try it & tell us. That's how you find out.

Sent from my spot on the earth.
[Epic 4G General] smoothone:
I was just about to mention that!
[Epic 4G General] thephawx:
I wouldn't worry about it dude. I went to DJ29 and then went back to Syndicate. Battery life was pretty abysmal on beta 2.2. It was cool with all the fixes, but Syndicate is pretty tits.
[Epic 4G General] Quicksand Jesus:
Why did you mention it and post the pics?
[Epic 4G General] vgambit:
Well, we must have different versions of the Epic 4G. DJ29's battery life on my phone was atrocious. Right now, the same phone running SyndicateRom has been unplugged for 25 hours, and has 25% battery life left.

I'm not trying to scare anyone. I'm only telling it how it was for me.

Seems like I wasn't the only one who had issues with Froyo beta.
[EVO 4G General] vacoray:
I have this unusual annoying problem playing music on my EVO. Whenever i hit the >>> or gesture to play the next song it does a 1/2 sec pause at the beginning of almost every song. Doesn't matter what player i use, and i think i tried them all. It does this with headphones and without headphones so i ruled out the headphone jack. I have about 1400 songs on my SD card. I've reformatted my SD card and at one time i thought that did it but it came right back. Sometimes it will go about 6 songs without doing it then it seems like every song after that. I don't remember this happening with 2.1 just noticed it only when i went to 2.2. Also this happened before i rooted and still does it after i rooted. I can't wait till 2.3 comes out to see if that cures it. I'm at my wits end. Anybody have any ideas?

Edit: Well turns out it was my SD card. Bought a SanDisk 32GB For $60.00 bucks and it has not done it since.
[Galaxy Tab General] strictlyphat:
Hey i just got my galaxy tab and my wife got a sony ereader. She has a bunch of books on her ereader i want to put on my tab but they are in epub format and i think drm blocked. When i put them on the tab(manually of course) i try to import with ereader apps but it says they are blocked. Anyone have the same problem and got a fix for this. Is there some way for the tab to be forced to sync to sony reader library software to be added as an authorized device, id really hate to have to buy books twice.

Just am update. I paid 29.90 for the program and its actually a one click program that strips the drm and produces thee file unlocked that I can put on my tab and read with aldiko
[Galaxy Tab General] kristenm:
You could use calibre to convert the files to a format the Tab uses. Calibre is freeware and I find it a lot more useful than the Sony software you get with the reader.
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
I'm assuming you're using an ePub reader like Aldiko already, and not trying to read ePubs with Kindle software or something?

Calibre may solve your problem, but generally, DRM protection is hard to remove for a reason. :)
[Galaxy Tab General] trondjl:
Those books are protected by adobe digital editions arent they?

It should be possible using TXTR. Google ade android you'll find help on the adobe forum.
[Galaxy Tab General] ResonanceZero:
It's not that hard to strip the DRM from ePub files. Search for ineptkey and ineptepub. As a new member, I can't post urls yet, but there's a blog with the latest links and some instructions that shows up as the first result entering the following string into Google:

ineptkey ineptepub icabbages
[Galaxy Tab General] strictlyphat:
thanks for the input guys. i found one way but gotta pay 29 dollars for a program. i hate sony for this.. lol.. i paid for the books, i should be able to read them on anything i have.
[myTouch 4G General] JWhipple:
Kmobs just tweeted this: "So.... looks like I don't have a mytouch 4g anymore... ups says delivered... and there is nothing at my door. Fml"

No - I wish I could say I'm joking - but I'm not...

I wonder what the impact on us getting CM is going to be...
[myTouch 4G General] jhr4972:
Kmobs already had a MT4G, so i am not really sure what UPS was delivering
[myTouch 4G General] JWhipple:
He just posted an update, "Guys the mytouch I have now I bought full price and am going to remorse. Got it early to work on for you. the other was cheap and is gone."
[myTouch 4G General] dustrho:
Yeah, I'm a bit confused as well. :confused:
[myTouch 4G General] persiansown:
I bought a full price mytouch to work on (and then remorse) as my cheap one came from my friend. The cheap one was supposed to be delivered today but nothing came to my door. I have to return the mytouch I currently have in my possession to T-Mobile.

I'm going to contact UPS tomorrow.
[myTouch 4G General] JWhipple:
I'd be willing to make a donation to help replace it - I don't have a lot but if it would help?
[myTouch 4G General] persiansown:
Thank you for the offer, but I really don't want to accept money. I plan on moving on when the Nexus S comes out so I do not feel it would be fair.
[myTouch 4G General] Redestwing:
Looks like I'll be sending this phone back tomorrow. Seems this phone is not gonna get to much love from the devs.
[myTouch 4G General] c_licious:
Hmmm... 3 more days of buyers remorse. Tempting! :D
[myTouch 4G General] PolishDude:
you arent going to file a complaint with UPS? that sucks
[myTouch 4G General] InGeNeTiCs:
This is exactly the kind of crap that's bringing these forums down. A handful of devs make stuff for a phone, and thousands of people follow. Nobody is willing to do anything for themselves anymore. So you're going to return your phone(which is a fantastic phone by the way), because somebody isn't going to make themes and there won't be a bajillion different roms available?

I first started with xda back in the day when I had my t-mobile SDA. I got ahold of an mda with a then unreleased WM6 rom from a microsoft mvp and I uploaded it to xda. I made a few windows mobile roms for myself and shared them in the forums. And I modified some apk's in the nexus one forums. I don't just 'know' how to do this stuff. I learned it because I wanted to. I didn't wait for somebody to give me what I want. I did it for myself, and then I shared.

This is how it used to be at xda. Now it's just 'gimme gimme gimme'.
[myTouch 4G General] Redestwing:
Know what's funny? The fact you're pissed because I made a decision for myself! I don't have the time to learn how to do all of this or else maybe I would attempt to contribute.
[myTouch 4G General] c_licious:
It's not even that for me, it's more that daunting feeling that something newer and better will come out shortly and I might regret not having waited. I'm not saying the Nexus S will be better, but it's intriguing enough that part of me thinks I should at least give it a try. No harm in comparing right? That's how I decided between the G2 and MT4G and boy am I glad I didn't settle for the G2. I realize how unsustainable and dissatisfying this attitude is since there will always be something "bigger and better" right around the corner, just can't help it :o
[myTouch 4G General] InGeNeTiCs:
I'm not at all pissed. I'm sad. I'm sad that a forum that was once full of people willing to contribute is now full of people that are 'too busy'. Last week, I worked just under 50 hours, painted my kitchen, replaced the counter-tops, installed a new sink, faucet, and garbage disposal, painted the cabinets, pulled the motor from my motorcycle, cleaned the gutters, raked and mowed my lawn(last time for the season), picked up my 3 girls every day(like I do every day), made dinner every night(wife doesn't get home til after 6)....and guess what? I STILL found time to pull apart rosie.apk and started modifying xml's because people are getting excited now that the mytouch is rooted and I wanted to contribute.

You are NOT too busy. I can assure you of that.
[myTouch 4G General] JWhipple:
Well, for me, I'm gonna tough it out...
[myTouch 4G General] InGeNeTiCs:
Ya I hear you there. I get like that sometimes. But mainly because I just like gadgets. I bought the nexus one while I was watching their press release. I pressed the refresh button in my browser until the order page went live.

I too got the g2 when it came out, while it was a great device, I found that I didn't need the keyboard, and the added thickness that comes with it. So I traded it in for the mytouch.

The problem with these devices is that they're not THAT different from each other. They all have this or that little feature, but it's all the same underlying hardware. 1ghz cpu, bunch of ram, hd recording...blah blah blah. It gets old after a while. If my company didn't take over my phone contract and pay for my upgrade, I would have gladly kept my nexus one. To this day, it's still my favorite phone. It's just so damn solid.

The mytouch is similar in form, but without all the metal of the nexus, it's just not the same. Anyways, I forgot the point I was trying to make, but we have to tell my girls this all the time "you get what you get, and you don't get upset". You picked that device for a reason, now ride that ***** 'til the wheels fall off!
[myTouch 4G General] cdw9800:
just my 2 cents i personally feel if cyanogen isnt handling the rom for the phone it never seems to get done the right way look at the vibrant i still think devs will make roms for it no disrespect to anyone..
[myTouch 4G General] mlockman:
I'm thinking of starting to mod this device, just not sure where to start looking for information. I've never messed with it much before, it's been years since I've done any programming and I've pretty much forgotten everything. But, I'm always willing to learn new things :D
[myTouch 4G General] Jeffmeister:
Kmobs had a working CM6 besides camera and a couple of other features on his MT4G... it should all get sorted out and we will get CM6. Instead of complaining and resorting to another phone because it was out earlier and has CM6 already... Why not actually contribute by helping trying to work and mod the phone you picked and for that reason.
[myTouch 4G General] lp1527:
Returning a phone because one dev hasn't done anything with it yet in the barely-two weeks its been out? Seems a little extreme, lol
[myTouch 4G General] s10shane:
hey just file a complaint with ups and tell them u didnt get it. they will investigate it then replace it for you. that happened with my grandmas 700 dollar laptop. they delivered it without ringing the door bell or anything. someone stole it and she filed a complaint and they replaced it for her but took like a week to do it. ups sometimes fails!
[myTouch 4G General] persiansown:
Yeah I will. Hopefully things work out.
[myTouch 4G General] s10shane:
it should work out fine. they dont wanna let down there customers lol
[myTouch 4G General] brian6685:
Yeah I got a vibrant a while ago from t-mobile and UPS delivered me an empty box. Turns out someone from UPS stole the phone and taped the box back up lol. I got another one but it room a couple weeks, it was kind of annoying. Especially since I returned the vibrant a few days after I finally got it lol
[myTouch 4G General] agentaaron:
That sucks to hear about the missing MT4G...I hate that UPS will leave stuff sitting on a doorstep all day like that. I always have stuff delivered to my work (because I am here more than home anyhow)...although, my boss hates "new phone days"...because I dont get crap done on those days.

Why would anyone return their phone just because the Devs arent actively building for it? I completely agree with InGeNeTiCs and Jeffmeister...if you want to take the device further, learn to do it yourself and contribute to the community.

The N2 will most likely be sold the same way the N1 was...so whats the point in returning your MT4G anyhow, its not like your going to get much of a discount on the N2...just add to card, checkout, done!
[myTouch 4G General] c_licious:
Agree, except for those of us who bought the MT4G full price. I'd probably be a lot less picky if it wasn't for the 450 bucks I put down up front :D
[myTouch 4G General] InGeNeTiCs:
The only advantage I see to the nexus 2 is the samoled. I've had an epic, so I know the screen tech is beautiful. I'm not so worried about gingerbread...our phone is rooted and the kernel source is out. Once the source is out on google's servers, roms will start popping up.

I seriously hope google had as much influence on the design of the nexus 2 as they did on the nexus one. I know samsung phones always make it to the stores half baked. And it always seems like their designs aren't very well thought out. Power connector on the top of the phone?? wtf? And don't get me started on the epic's desktop dock...why design it so it rests on the volume rocker?!?

Anyways, I'm not going to get my hopes up until I'm able to play with it. I've lost faith in samsung, and the only thing keeping me from writing them off completely is the samoled. I guess we'll find out soon enough......

It was to my understanding that they had a deal worked out with t-mobile? I thought that meant they would be selling it through t-mobile directly. Google shut down their phone order pages some time ago.
[myTouch 4G General] Foo_Blyat:
Really, the dev wants to ditch his MT4G for the Nexus S when it comes out after all of CM's tweets on how its going to suck (paraphrasing his "im not interested" tweets).

Sorry, if i was a retard who liked looking at shiney objects, id get a phone made by samsung. if i wanted a speed beast/all out amazing phone with just an "ok" screen, i guess id "settle" :rolleyes: for the MT4G

@InGeNeTiCs, you brought up amazing points, i too would like to start learning how to edit stuff myself. Any links or anything on how to dev, or use kitchens or what not.

I HATE CM, so im not like all the rest of the sheep waiting in line for it. I want exactly the rom i have now but just with no tmobile anything on it. I want to remove mymodes, myfaves, ect so i figure that shouldnt be too difficult once i have a decent grasp on how to edit a rom.
[myTouch 4G General] dustrho:
Hating what CM does is a bit harsh if you ask me, but anyone who's used his ROMs can vouch for how much better they make a phone work. I do wish I could have it on my MT4G by now, but unfortunately it's not yet available.

I love my new MT4G, the OS/ROM is fast as hell but like you I do not care for the T-Mobile experience. MyFaves can go to hell, and I would really like to try out a stock/vanilla ROM for the sure sake of overclocking the hell out of my phone.
[myTouch 4G General] Mftek1:
I would love to have vanilla on this as well!

[myTouch 4G General] Foo_Blyat:
I dont hate what CM does, because what he does is help people he doesnt know, what i do hate is CM6. I like to keep things simple, and before something even gets fixed on CM6 theres a new half ass broken option added in.

For example, if i have a setting widget, why in the world woud i need the same exact thing in my drop down menu to make it look like a "galaxy s". which doesnt even work because if u disable the option, it disapears for a few minutes then pops right back up in the drop bar. And before that even gets fixed, im sure they'll add in something else that half works.

I want to REMOVE useless crap, not add a ton more in.

But yes, i completely agree on everything else you stated, myfaves needs to diaf and i want to remove the "tmobile account sync", all i want is an htc phone with google.
[myTouch 4G General] DADDYDC650:
I'd also love a T-Mobile stock ROM but without all of the T-Mobile apps/demos. A version of vanilla Android with NO bugs and no crap programs/files. Nothing more, nothing less. Once we get that as a base ROM, I'd love to have more options if I ever get bored.
[myTouch 4G General] persiansown:
We have broken features ... in nightlies. We fixed that statusbar stuff already. Don't use RCs and Nightlies if you don't want broken features. kthnxbai.

[myTouch 4G General] lonlawrence:
Oh, you mean like the MT4G? Damned power connector on the side you'd set it on when you wan't a night-stand clock! GOOD IDEA. And it rests on the volume buttons, too! Hmmmm where did I just read that? I hope there's an eventual horizontal dock that uses the contact points on that side.

@InGeNeTiCs I would also like to contribute can u give a few pointers ? at least point me in the right direction...I love android and my MT4G..should I start by trying to understand linux ? I just installed Unbutu on vmware...would love to learn how to program...can u help ? @persiansown do u think u could give what youve got done to the forum and let who we have work on it from there...the first time i remember hearing about u is when i had my mt3g and you were working on blur..wow from blur to cm seems like u learn quickly...im a quick learner also could you give many advice on coding thanks.

[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Want to put my $0.02 in here, re: contributing.

I don't have any programming knowledge or experience, but I would like to learn. I am currently working full-time, networking and going to school part time. I barely have time to do my laundry, lol.

That said, I contribute by regurgitating what I have learned to other newbies who know less than when I started here.

Someday I would really like to learn some programming and at that point I will glady try my hand at building a rom, but until then all I can do is donate to the devs, support other users with what I DO know, and volunteer to try **** out on my own phone.

The simple fact is that there is tension between propagating the hobby vs. keeping it elite.

The same thing happened with motorcycles. Sportbikes are more popular than ever before, which is great because you can share the passion with more people. The downside is all the squids who crash and give the rest of us a bad name.

All told I think it's worth it for the growth of the sport.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boogie1077:
You're supposed to only download and flash recoveries from Rom Manager if you're on wi-fi since T-mobile caches web pages but I was able to get around this by flashing an older version (in Rom Manager) and immediately reflashing the correct recovery (without rebooting or even leaving RomManager).

Of course you can always download the recovery.img file and fastboot flash it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PUME04:
me too

Same issue. Trying to boot into recovery gives pic of phone with red triangle.

- I reflashed clockwork recovery (not sure is this helped)

- manually went into recovery manager from rom manager menu which loaded w/o problems

- selected backup and restore

- perform backup
