[Epic 4G General] mynewepic10:
I know you should make a backup. So when you wipe and flash a new rom and kernel, do you restore data and that will restore all the programs you had prior at the time of the backup?

Thanks.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
If you do an advanced restore of your data through CWM recovery, yes it will restore all your programs and settings. However, this can cause problems as the old data does not get along with some ROMs.
[Epic 4G General] mynewepic10:
So it is best to just reinstall programs?
[Epic 4G General] leatherneck6017:
I would use Titanium Backup or My Backup Pro to back up you apps+data. After the flash you can either restore everything from the backup or just the data. Some people have said that it's best to re-download your apps from the market and only install the data from the backup (as opposed to restoring app and data). I don't know, I've done it both ways and have never noticed a difference.
[Desire HD General] Aamir.Badat:
My DHD automatically connects to WiFi and this drains the battery is there anyway to disable this?
[Desire HD General] dvhttn:
From the manual, page 124:

"... Turning Wi-Fi on and connecting to a wireless network

From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings.

Tap Wireless & networks, and then select the Wi-Fi check box to turn Wi-Fi on. The phone then scans for available wireless networks. ..."

Though I have mine on ALL the time and the percentage battery used by wifi is minimal. The screen takes a much larger percentage.

[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Just download a wfi on/off app form the market like curve fish...
[Desire HD General] Aamir.Badat:
The WiFi is switched off then after 5 mins I check and WiFi is on. So the WiFi doesn't drain the battery?? if this is true then my problem is solved.
[Desire HD General] paulus_01:
So, did you even check the battery performance with WIFI on :confused:

In any case, just put a WIFI widget on your homescreen, you can then manually turn it on and off as you please....really easy
[Desire HD General] Aamir.Badat:
O checked last night and the WiFi doesn't affect the battery very much. I just added the power dashboard widget and manualy turn off WiFi.

Hi!

I use Android 2.2.1 FRG83D (Nexus One T-Mobile version). I found that a lot of users use a newer version of baseband which is 5.12 or 5.08. I still use 4.06.

Should I update my baseband version to 5.12? is it official? or still in the beta stage? Any change-log?

Thanks,
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexus-six:
Would like to know too.

Is there any difference?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prettyboy85712:
It's official. Just try it YMMV. If it doesn't perform any better switch back.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salah9:
What does YMMV mean? And how can I know if it will perform better or not?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Your Mileage May Vary

Means it may or may not be better basically. Try and see.

If possible, flash via fastboot rather than recovery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] houzuoguo:
People who use 5.08 or 5.12 notice speed and battery life improvement, while few people experiencing problems with those two radios or notice degrade signal or speed.. I'm using 5.12 there's no problem for me, it saves battery
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salah9:
I tried to update my device radio version by using the recovery.. no luck!! should I rename the file to update.zip for example? :\
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravufo:
You need a custom recovery where you can disable signature verification.

Please make sure to verify the MD5 hashes BEFORE flashing. It's VERY important or else you could easily brick your phone.

Even better, if your bootloader is unlocked, flash it with that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salah9:
I already verified MD5. I couldn't find anything about disable signature verification!! I use RA-nexus-v1.5.3
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
You can't just slap radio.img on the SD card and flash it, you have to make an update.zip from it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salah9:
This is what I did. I downloaded zip file from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=816917 and tried to flash it from the custom recovery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Looking at that thread, it's an unsigned update, so you would need to ensure that the recovery you're using doesn't use signature verification.

The one you currently have is far too old, try Amon Ra v2.0 or a new ClockworkMOD instead.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravufo:
Yep that file is flashable, just get a recovery (1.9 alpha or 2.0 from amon_Ra, although in 2.0, you have to MANUALLY disable signature verification in the "More" section) and you should be fine.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salah9:
Thank you guys. I used ROM Manager to update the recovery and then I updated the radio version to 5.12

* Update: This version is really so nice!! The wifi didn't drop when I set the wifi sleep policy to Never!! I'm a happy user now :)

When I plug my phone into my usb port I keep getting an error message

That says

USB device not recognized

one of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.

So when I do that it says unknown. I know I have the drivers installed because I can odin back to stock. I am thinking this is the reason why wired tether will not work.

Can anyone let me know what the problem may be?

Thanks.
[Epic 4G General] leatherneck6017:
This has happened to me from time to time. A reboot of the pc and phone has always fixed it.
[Epic 4G General] mynewepic10:
I just realized I have never used this cable with the phone. I got it at walmart and it is made by fuse. So it could be the cable.
[Epic 4G General] ghlu:
Also try a different usb port. Mine got error error messages on some ports but not the other on the same computer.
[Epic 4G General] Muckrak3r:
I bought several usb cables for cheap online. 1 totally stopped working, and another one disconnects the phone is I move the cable.

I always suspect the cable!
[Epic 4G General] drakkahn:
I am having the same problem with my laptop atm...

My computer can't seem to see the epic when it's in d/l mode. I've installed the samsung drivers as well...but no go.

Hopefully someone has a suggestion to fix the problem. I'll be seaching the forums in the meantime.
[Epic 4G General] Daddy43205:
had the same problem try a different usb port aslo dont use usb multi hubs.
[Epic 4G General] digijuan:
I have the same problems as well.

A reboot fixes nothing.

None of my ports work.

I do not want to replace my epic but this simple issue is nerve wrecking.
[Epic 4G General] jaaka78:
I have a similar problem. Both my wife and I have the epic. I have no issues connecting my phone to either of our computers but when I connect my wife's epic neither of the computer's see the phone at all (not even as an unrecognized device). The phone asks if I want to mount the sd card and I say yes and nothing happens. I've tried usb debugging and I can't get Odin to work either for hers (fine for mine). Has anyone else had this issue?

Thanks
[Epic 4G General] Leon H:
My HTC Hero was a dream to mod. I plugged it in, ran some ADB, and it worked like a charm. I flashed whatever I wanted whenever I wanted, and it worked fine with my computer which is running 64bit Win7.

Now the Samsung Epic... this is disappointing. ADB doesn't work any more. It says there are no devices attached and I can't mount my SD Card through the phone to my computer. I can't get the drivers to work properly. I've tried reinstalling the "proper" ones from the clockwork mod thread and also reinstalling the ones that windows update wants to install.

Nothing works. Modding this phone is a nightmare and now it doesn't work with my computer at all. ADB used to work, kind of. Now it doesn't even detect the phone.

Samsung did a bad job. I love the screen and the blazing fast hardware, but the difficulty with modding is ridiculous.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'm game. But if I can't get full control over my phone via command prompt like I could with my Hero, I'm going back to HTC before next week.
[Epic 4G General] richse:
Every time someone on here says that ADB doesn't work it has ended up being their computer that is the problem. Either they didn't install the drivers correctly or there is something else wrong. I suggest you try it on a different computer. The majority of us have never had a problem with ADB and as an ex-Hero user I think the epic works just as well over command line.
[Epic 4G General] Leon H:
I'm working on getting a fresh install of 32bit WinXP, but I don't see why it doesn't just work on my Win7 install. I've tried it on XP before with similar (non-working) results, but I'll give it a foolproof trial and try to troubleshoot if it's the computer end or the phone end.
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
ADB worked on my Win 7 64bit laptop when I was rooting my Epic. Had 0 problems.

PEBKAC imo.
[Epic 4G General] TheDub:
Ahh.. Why blame Samsung for having a phone that that is "difficult to mod". They never wanted you mod it, funny how you mentioned the awesome screen and "blazing fast hardware" in the same paragraph though, but still call it a bad phone.

ADB works just fine if you install the correct drivers.

Not insulting your decision to choose the Evo, they are both awesome, but the Evo won't save you from not knowing what you're doing.

PEBCAK.
[Epic 4G General] leatherneck6017:
First google search of the day = pebkac; good one!
[Epic 4G General] Leon H:
But maybe the Evo will save me from this driver fiasco. I've tested the phone on WinXP and Ubuntu now, and ADB works on both. But for whatever reason, the drivers on Windows 7 are not working. I've uninstalled them and reinstalled drivers from three or four different venues now.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
I had a similar problem but instead, I blamed Windows 7 :p

Install PDAnet.. pick the appropriate device, then you can have full control over your "blazing fast hardware" P.O.S. :rolleyes:

PEBKAC .. LMFAO...
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
yeeeeeaaaahh... that'll happen...

To kinda go along with my previous post, it appears as though ITS NOT THE DAMN PHONE...

Did you read what you posted ??? seriously... honestly ???.. it's not ur phone.
[Epic 4G General] Leon H:
It did with the Hero. My experience with HTC drivers has been much better than Sammy drivers so far.

I get that now, I was in the process of installing a new OS to test this. I blamed the phone at first, before I got around to testing it properly, but now I know where the problem lies.

I'm not blaming the phone anymore. It seems to work fine (besides the sd card mount, that will only work on linux). I'm blaming Samsung for their Windows 7 drivers. You can throw acronyms around all you want, but I think the problem is actually somewhere in how Samsung develops for 64 bit.

Also, I can praise the phone's hardware and curse the software. That's perfectly logical, by the way.

Thanks for your anecdote. Unfortunately, my setup is not working the same as yours. If you'd like to be helpful and tell me how you installed the working drivers, I'd appreciate it.
[Epic 4G General] ericizzy1:
to OP, what you should know is, that even without any modding, and running on 2.1 , my epic will always be WAY faster than any evo.

now imagine how fast it is for me now, with my Quantum froyo...
[Epic 4G General] SamsungEpic86:
I had the same problem with my phone not showing up on the computer, i know this may sound stupid but it works. I have 2 usb ports in the front of my computer and thats what i tired using for the phone it wouldn't work, so i plugged it in the back of the computer and now it works fine shows up everytime on my computer.. So i just bought a extra usb cord off ebay and have it constantly plugged in the back of the computer.
[Epic 4G General] Leon H:
I agree, that's why I bought the Epic in the first place. I just wish I could ADB into it with my Windows 7 machine that I'm using 99% of the time. The posters in this thread don't seem to understand that I like the phone, I just don't like the way it interacts with my computer.

Maybe their installation of 64 bit windows 7 can ADB fine, but that doesn't help me any. I wish I could get some help instead of being called an idiot. From my experiences, these Samsung drivers are worthless.

Phone good, drivers bad.
[Epic 4G General] ericizzy1:
my intention was not to insult, just to convince you to keep it, and try to find the solution, which is what youre doing. wish i could help
[Epic 4G General] Leon H:
Haha, not to worry, you've been one of the most helpful in this thread. It's nice to be reaffirmed that my choice to go with a Samsung phone for the first time wasn't a mistake.

I'm just put off by all of the suggestions in this thread that the problem lies between the chair and keyboard instead of anything helpful about how to get these absurd drivers ironed out. Never had problems with HTC drivers, just sayin'.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
You can get drivers to install better with one of 2 ways:

1) Use device manager to go to manually load the drivers in the 16_Shrewberry folder

2) Install Kies..even if it doesnt work it seems to install the drivers better

-------------

also if your using a desktop..back ports are more efficient.
[Epic 4G General] Leon H:
That's what I'm talking about. Awesome information, I'll do some driver wiping and see how these methods work out from a clean slate. Thanks a lot.
[Epic 4G General] leatherneck6017:
Good point! My 2 front USB ports are useless for connecting my Epic as well.
[Epic 4G General] bullet2300:
I installed the Samsung drivers for win 7 x64 from Sammys site and no driver issues here. Maybe try uninstalling the drivers you already installed and start from scratch?
[Epic 4G General] Leon H:
I just got that step done through the driver program that Samsung installed, next I'm going to delete every trace in the Device Manager and try again with gTen's new methods.

Good luck my wife has an EVO and it is a dog compared to the Epic. The screen looks like crap compared to the Epic and it cannot play games worth a crap...enjoy.
[Epic 4G General] Razgriz:
Former Evo user here...other than the lack of Roms compared to the Evo, I think the Epic is a better phone due to the screen being a hell of a lot better, and it's overall faster.
[Epic 4G General] Koadic:
If all else fails, try a different usb cable. With the OEM Samsung cable, it's hit and miss no matter which port I plug it into on my desktop pc. I am currently using a short 3' OEM cable that came with the original 'Droid' and that works no matter which port I plug it into, even the front ports on my pc case.
[Epic 4G General] Dulanic:
The cable would be the first thing I would try. I used to get win7 saying unidentified device all the time.... It was the stock cable. Only use it for charging because it's ****.
[Epic 4G General] humdrum2009:
Here is a solution

The problem is the devices we use today, dont get along with older motherboards that well. Upgrade your motherboard to a better board with a stronger usb charging port. I.E gigabyte or another.

I had similar trouble my msi board was crapping out wouldn't recognize my iPod or most usb devices.

Upgraded my board to a gigabyte am3 board and troubles went away.

also look at your psu make sure its not failing.

Unplug any other usb device you have installed .if your epic is recognized on another pc its the motherboard causing your issues most likely.

P.S the best things for the epic are yet to come hang in there

once the code is released the epic will tower over most if not all phones before it
[Epic 4G General] Dulanic:
I have a brand new i7 motherboard. Trust me its not just that. The stock samsung cables are **** and this been talked about many times on xda. Just giving ideas to try and before pulling hairs out I would try the usb cable.
[Epic 4G General] humdrum2009:
What cables are suggested

What cables are suggested to use with the epic.

maybe return to where you bought the phone and tell them it is a **** cable.

they should replace it. i guess i got lucky with my cable.

but if anyone knows where to get better cables ill order a few and keep them handy

[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
I agree with you, and think some of the people here have been unneccessarily rude and insulting to you. I read your post, and rather than being insulted by your slagging on Samsung (which deserves a lot of slagging, but for other reasons), saw someone simply very frustrated.

Regardless, your blame is misplaced. The vast majority of people do not experience the problems you are. So by simple, cold reasoning, the blame for your difficulties really doesn't lie with the phone, Windows 7, Samsung, or Microsoft.

It has something to do with the way your installing and setting everything up.

Unfortunately, with the information provided here so far, there's absolutely nothing anyone can do to help.
[Epic 4G General] Dj21o:
The Evo runs ****ty 1.5 software. That phone has nothing besides a high amount of memory, while the Epic has that with a good processor. In my opinion, stock on the Epic is better than any 2.2 rom that will ever come out on the Evo. Plus, there's always at LEAST one thing wrong in every custom rom.

[Desire General] nyunyu:
I know a lot of chef around here eager to release ROMs with the ability to be overclocked. I for one also like to have a faster phone but there is always this question haunted me.

Do you always use your phone in overclock mode daily?

I use my MIUI'ed Desire at 998MHz (sometimes 1113MHz) but then afraid things might get wrong if I use it overclock too long.

Any expert that can confirm overclock will not harm the phone? I mean small overclock of course like from 998 to 1113. (or perhaps anyone want to explain what is the safe MHz for overclocking for daily use?)

Sorry if it has been asked before. Hope someone can shed some light here.
[Desire General] AndroHero:
i really depends on your cpu, all are diffrent, if you can run it at 1113mhz and its fine and stable, no random reboots ect, then its fine to run it like that on a daily basis, for example my cpu runs great up to 1150 but if i overclock it anymore my device becomes unstable and sometimes reboots, obviously this is bad for the cpu.
[Desire General] tolis626:
Well,I am one lucky fuc*er having a Desire that is all good and stable even at up to 1386MHz(only used that with an old version of OpenDesire though,spent some weeks with AuraxTSense @1300MHz too)! :D

However,overclocking is not harmful for your CPU as long as it doesn't "press" it too much as AndroHero pointed out.What does harm your CPU with time is overvolting in order to overclock.That's why I stopped overclocking too much.Now I use AuraxTSense 8 @1190MHz and am perfectly happy with it.It doesn't even get hotter than usual and battery seems to be unaffected(god bless undervolt! :p ).
[Desire General] Kalavere:
I run my Desire with a 10% overclock (1113Mhz) all day long, and I am running my HD2 with a 20% overclock (1.2Ghz), I don't think twice about it. And tomorrow I will be getting a Desire HD and that's going to get a good thrashing as well! :D
