for one, that's a desktop UI, as in intended for a full blown computer.

second, of course it's possible if you or someone else feels like programming it from scratch...

Oh I do see how they have an android counterpart now, but you see how they say they're waiting for newer versions of Android that have support for larger screens/resolutions? You really want to try to cram a desktop/high res interface into a phone?

Archos 7 Home Tablet

This is an android tablet, supposed to be running android 2.1, ad the adlilb marketplace, which is an android marketplace for the tablets.

Anyway, looking at the tabs, i cant spend the money to get the samsung galaxy tab.

Trying to see if this is even worth getting. its not really for work, more of a play kinda thing. Ive looked into it, not at good as any others out there, but looks like it could do the trick.

Also does anyone know if it will be modable, maybe i could find a way to get a custom rom.
[About XDA developers] bebdigga:
Is hot and cheap but u can also get the viewsonic g tablet wit da nvidia tegra 2..cyanogen got a rom for it too..
[About XDA developers] Hexidecimal:
You're better off getting the 70 Internet Tablet. Runs 2.2, about to be rooted (hopefully), thinner, lighter, better tablet. The home is old.

[Streak 5 Android Development] Jelly82:
I got a few quick questions. I'm heading to Best Buy in shortly to pick up my White streak I ordered. I was hoping 2.2 would be out here for AT&T without ordering the Unlocked one ( I have AT&T and like the white :P) I've been reading on Steves 2.2 1.4.6. Is it possible to load that on the AT&T streak that comes with 1.6? I would like to root my streak anyway was just curious if I can load steve's 1.4.6 and have it on the AT&T use streak.

If so any baseband issues or anything I should know about?

Thanks ahead of time for the help. Finally kicking the iphone 4 back to android.
[Streak 5 Android Development] corshanpay:
The white Streak is different

Just a bit of a heads up: the white one is different. I beat my head against the wall for at least a week trying nearly all of the varied procedures explained on various sites to get to a custom rom and it seemed nothing worked. I finally got to Steve's 1.4.5 by using the Qualcomm driver method. As I understand, it's the only method that will allow you to start flashing custom roms using clockwork recovery. It is a bit long in the original process, but once you get it done, the new flashes go by without a hitch.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Jelly82:
Thanks,

I'm going to let it charge tonight and give it a go tomorrow. I made a sim sleeve for my micro sim from the iphone 4. It should work in the streak correct? Or should I have them activate the new sim?
[Streak 5 Android Development] corshanpay:
I didn't have to activate mine. I have the old unlimited iPhone plan, so I didn't really want them changing it in case I decided to trade this thing for an iPhone 4 or something. I currently use it with a homemade min-sim adapter and it works just fine. As a matter of fact, I also use it in my HD2/Android with no problems.
[Streak 5 Android Development] kantras:
For details on the QDLTool method (needed for the White Streak) go to http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=92. Note: QDLTool is a Windows only application and its easier done with a 32 bit version of Windows.
[Nook Color Android Development] Ev3rM0r3:
Its not the nook, I connected successfully using my Fascinates Verizon 3G Hotspot software but wifi tether would not pick up. Its not the nook that needs hacking its the wifi tether broadcasting app. Something about it isn't broadcasting in a way that other android devices can pick up. I tried this in the verizon store the other day phone to phone. It just doesn't work. But the 3g hot spot works like a million bucks.
[Nook Color Android Development] macndroid:
ad-hoc under android

Most android devices don't connect to ad-hoc networks. Some are capable of tethering and broadcasting as an infrastructure AP, but my phone isn't. I need the nook to see and connect to ad-hoc networks because that is all my G1 can broadcast. Its not a nook problem per se, but an android problem. There are hacks described on this forum to circumvent the problem, they just don't work with my phone or the nook.
[Nook Color Android Development] GabbleRatchet:
Assuming this is the same problem I'm having trying to tether via MyWi on my iPhone. (Ad-Hoc vs infrastructure) I'm very jealous of my co-worker who's Evo tethers to his NC perfectly.
[Nook Color Android Development] jtbnet:
I don't yet have a nook to try this on, but I've used both these techniques on more than 1 device... the second is better IF you can get as far as you did with the 0.5.11... I'd suspect that it might be as simple as an edit to the /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf that might be needed to have it set up the same as other devices using 0.5.x... I got this version working a few days ago on the Viewsonic Gtab (2.2 but running 0.5.11) so you might try comparing your conf with the one there... I'd suspect the only diff should/might be the cntl_interface definition...

I've attached the file with .txt added that worked for me on the Gtab...
[Nook Color Android Development] weiln12:
This is correct. From what I've read Android as of now doesn't support Ad-Hoc connections at all. All the HTC handsets I've used will work with Infrastructure mode because of the Broadcom chipset used. The OMAP based chips and Samsungs chips don't allow using them in Infrastructure mode from what I've read.

My Droid Inc works fantastic as a base station. My Droid didn't, and neither did my Vibrant.

I don't know why Android doesn't support Ad-Hoc connections yet, in my opinion that's just stupid.
[Nook Color Android Development] macndroid:
Thanks

Wow - thanks for the input! I'll try again with your conf file when I get home and let you know how it goes.

It really is a shame Google didn't just make this work right the first time.

Edit: I also tried wpa_cli (pulled from my phone running CM 6) and added the ad-hoc network and tried to force it to connect but the interface remained disconnected even though the network was in the list wpa_cli generated. Details can be found here : www.olsr.org/?q=olsr_on_android. Maybe I need to try with the modified wpa_supplicant binary.....

Anyone know if there is an phone with the broadcom chipset that I can get used for a reasonable price AND I can use with T-mobile? At this point it might be the easiest solution.
[Nook Color Android Development] edison:
SOLVED!

For those who haven't found the other thread, Cicada posted a wpa_supplicant (and directions for installation) that work on all Ad-Hoc networks tested so far.
[Epic 4G General] dieselg5:
After a few months, the novelty of the phone has worn off and I find myself disliking and regreting my choice to buy this phone more and more every day. From the lack of froyo, software stability issues, gps, problems, useless keyboard, etc, it just seems more and more unsuited for daily use. I'm also becoming disappointed in Sprint's network. At first I thought it was leaps and bounds better than T-Mobile but now I'm not so sure. "4G" is an absolute joke unless you're outside, standing still, and 100 ft from a tower. This is not a flaming bash thread, just how I feel. I'm wondering if anyone else shares my views.

P.S. I live in NYC
[Epic 4G General] hugo87:
Sorry for the bad experiences man. I'm actually the opposite. I like it more and more everyday. I'm running epic experience froyo. Gps locks in seconds.(for me anyway) runs very smooth. Can't comment on 4g cause its not availabe in my area. Everyones has their opinion I guess. Have you considered the evo? I have to say thogh the evo has a better radio. A couple of friends have it and Ill be sitting right next to them and they get 2-3 more bars than me in certain areas. That's just my observation tho.
[Epic 4G General] decalex:
Personally, I still dig the phone even more than I did when I got it. My 4g isn't great either, but there when I need it- anywhere from 2-5mbits. Despite the little the devs have had to work with, my phone (on 2.2) is way faster than when I got it. Stability wise- I've had a few self induced setbacks, but now I back up more often. Once the source is out, the sky's the limit.

sent from my RAZR
[Epic 4G General] jok3sta:
I feel the exact opposite. I'm loving my epic more and more every day. I've been running the froyo betas since day one and it runs just as good if not better than my buddies evo running the official froyo. I do believe I can do without the hardware keyboard because I find myself using the software kb a lot more than I thought I would. But my phone has been great so far. And for some reason I've never had a problem with gps. Even on froyo. I'm in ny also but I live out east in suffolk county so we don't have 4g yet. Doesn't bother me though when I'm home I use my wifi and at work we have wifi as well so I'm good with that. Also.. since having the epic, I get kind of disgusted when I look at a non SAMOLED screen. They look so washed out. This includes the iphone 4s screen although it is a bit sharper
[Epic 4G General] jok3sta:
Lol I must have been typing my reply as you posted yours. But our replies look similar
[Epic 4G General] ksizzle9:
Lol. First I ditched my captivate(pay as you go) then I got suckered into getting a fascinate and couldn't regret it more. That's why this message is sent from my incredible. And not a Samsung phone period. If Sammy made a phone that sucked my ****, swallowed, and showed pix of Kim kardashian while doing it I still wouldn't buy another one.
[Epic 4G General] jok3sta:
The incredible is cute I guess. But I needed a mans phone. :) I'm done with any screen smaller than 4 in. The incredible is a decent phone but it is inferior to the epic in just about every way. But have fun with that though. And on top of that u pay so much more a month. So its a lose lose in my eyes. Sero ftw :p

Also i don't see the problem ppl are having with sammy phones. This is my first sammy phone after about 6 htc phones and I don't regret the switch at all. It feels a little plasticy at first but the quality is definitely not bad at all
[Epic 4G General] shook187:
I don't have many phone to go by cause this is my first android phone but my friends from work who have iphone4, blackberry and a few other smartphones are all praising my Epic.

As far as 4g goes, I use it all the time and always get a good signal indoors or outdoors. BTW I'm in the Boston market. I did notice while in queens new york I didn't get a 4g signal indoors.
[Epic 4G General] hugo87:
Haha agree!
[Epic 4G General] fczeuner:
Agree 100%. I would like to see 2.2.1 officially released though.
[Epic 4G General] Bigjim1488:
I am still in love with the phone. The only thing I wish is that we had 2.2 officially.
[Epic 4G General] live2ride96:
Actually, yeah, I'm right there with ya. I waited and waited and held off on buying an Evo, in spite of the fact that my wife and my dad were loving theirs, anxiously awaiting Epic launch day. I'm starting to regret it now, like for real. But I don't think the Evo is the perfect phone for me either, but it seems closer. I really like some of the other phones out there, but now I'm stuck on a Sprint family plan, and there isn't **** coming out any time soon (yeah, I know about the Knight, or Evo Shift or whatever, but I don't want a keyboard, dammit). Seems like T-Mo and Verizon are getting sweet new high end phones every week, and Sprint is just happy to get by on the success of the Evo. I guess I might be looking for a trade for an Evo soon, or selling mine on Ebay to buy an Evo. I really want to love this phone, but Samsung just isn't letting me. It'd be nice if every phone was available on every carrier. Stupid back door carrier/manufacturer deals.

Can we just stop making posts about how we hate our epics this is how the community gets into fights, that and when noobs ask questions.

THE FROYO EPIC EXPERIENCE
[Epic 4G General] art3mis-nyc:
I'm in nyc and i dont have any of the issues you seem to have, i get 4g at work 5/1 d/u

i get 4g at home 7/1.2 d/u, my 3g service is fairly awesome(except on the corner of 22nd and park where i get ONLY get 4g). the phone itself is everything i expected, i bought great hardware. i fully expected to be able to hack at it and make it how i wanted, which is what we got with the albiet lackluster dev community, but at least i have froyo, the only major drawback that i can see to the epic has been the rather inconsitent seeming quality control on the hardware itself.

GPS working perfect on some or not at all/spotty on others. the major downside to the GPS problem and trying to find a fix(which could be as stupid as putting a papperclip on the internal antenae(dont do this it was only an example)) or just waiting for source and recompiling the drivers to cover more internal revisions of the chip. im guessing that since froyo is still "private beta" that the gps problems will persist, but since everyone seems to believe that di18 had solved it for all, it's hard to say. if you're unhappy with the phone because you feel left behind i dunno what to say except, did you really expect to get more than just a great hardware device and a phone network? We all bought this one above all else because of what it was not what it could become.
[Epic 4G General] Pvt WhoOkid:
I enjoy this phone more and more everyday. I switched over from tmobile and I had the g1 with them and then the motorola cliq, they both worked fine when I 1st got them but being on the tmobile network was a pain, they always had problems(so I'm glad I ditced them after 5 yrs of service.)

Now as for the epic, its way faster then my other 2 android phones from tmobile and it let's me do more, I'm also in NYC and I've notice that 4g only works for me when I'm in the city. When I head home (brooklyn) it just doesn't stay connected to the 4g service so ill agree with you there. The other thing that I don't like is the keyboard and its lag, other then those two things I can deal with this phone, its quite fast and screen is freaking beautiful!

P.S: battery problem is a common for android phones so I don't include that in my dislikes.

- Its just going to be Epic!
[Epic 4G General] Masterface7:
I would say I like this phone the exact amount as the day I got it, which is a lot. I would say I like android more and more each day as I find new more useful apps.

As far as the phone is concerned I live and work very close to major freeways so 4g reception is terrific in my workplace and in my home, in fact it is better than 3g in both places. A downside for me is that this phone seems to have worse reception than my old tp2 but it has never really been to much of an issue. The battery has never been a problem for me, I can make it run out in a few hours if I really wanted but last weekend I was sick on the couch the whole holiday and my phone made it 40+ hours chillin beside me since i didn't really use it much. The keyboard is no touch pro 2 but I still prefer it over the screen for typing long emails and now that i have a GAMEGRIPPER i play emulators quite a bit. I do still need to shave down some of the gamegrippers buttons but i digress. Overall I am very satisfied and I hope that there are developers out there who will make stuff targeted at more powerful phones like ours.

edit: sorry the screenshot is kinda weird but it is still readable and my screen was only on for 62 min.
[Epic 4G General] sauron0101:
I suppose that there are more things to hate right now.

Battery life needs improvement. Hate.

My phone recently overheated and shut down. Hate.

Ran out of room for apps. Hate.

Pen-tile and poor whites. Hate.

GPS is worthless. Hate.

Very responsive. Like.

Boots up pretty quickly. Like.

Looks different than other phones. Like.

Keyboard - not sure. I actually want a 5-row keyboard, but I want one like the HTC Touch Pro 2; this layout isn't that great.
[Epic 4G General] bomix:
Ok.. this thread is not as boring as the other ones.. I agree with the above,

there is so much to like about the phone. If you don't like it.. get a phone that suits you.
[Epic 4G General] MaxPatlick:
Nah, my phone is really cool I totally dig it. About the only thing I dislike is the fact that the battery doesn't last very long.

About the keyboard.. its funny, I do a lot of typing through swype, like at least 80% or so. Sometimes I think I could have gotten away without a physical keyboard, then I go to type some non-dictionary word or url or something and it's just easier to flip out the physical keyboard than it is to fight with the on screen keyboard. I think of it like that old saying about guns.. "Better the have one and not need it than to need one and not have it."

edit: getting froyo on my phone was pretty easy. I'm marginally technically inclined and it wasn't any harder than installing/configuring an OS on a desktop (I guess technically it is exactly that) It took about a few hours of research and a couple retries to sort all the kinks out but it's very smooth now.

still bitter about that battery tho..

oh yea not receiving 4G service in San Pedro yet still paying extra for 4G is lame..
[Epic 4G General] live2ride96:
Look, I'm not looking to fight with anyone. To those who love their phones, I'm glad. I really wish I could feel the same way. I just saw someone with the same opinion and saw a place to vent about my frustration. Let's not turn this into a war of some sort. If you love your Epic, go on loving it. More power to ya. I just don't. Maybe I will with Froyo. I'm just of the mindset that I shouldn't HAVE to mod my phone to get the experience I want. It's good to see that's at least an option though. To everyone working to fix Samsung's "screw ups", keep up the good work, and I hope the whole community appreciates your work.
[Epic 4G General] acegolfer:
Unfortunately, no android phones will suit you. IMHO, android is still in beta and that's why I like it.

If I don't like to tweak, I'd buy an iphone.
[Epic 4G General] stir fry a lot:
The Epic will never have a place as one of my more memorable phones but after playing with both the Evo and G2 I definitely appreciate it much more than I used to and I'm still on 2.1. I tried a Froyo rom awhile back and am excited to see what the devs can do with it once its officially released. The only two things that I really don't care for about the Epic is the community plastic-y feel of it compared to its competitors. Its lightning fast, stable, smooth and gets great battery life with Baked Snack's Roms though.
[Epic 4G General] live2ride96:
Yeah, I know. I had an iPhone before my Nexus One. The bugginess (is that even a word? lol) of Android is what pushed me THIS close to going back to the iPhone. But then I came to my senses and remembered that I despise Uncle Steve and what he and Apple stand for. My Nexus had and my two Evos have FAR less issues than this phone, so Android isn't the problem. Thus the reason I'm probably going to switch. There's just a handful of things that I REALLY like about the Epic. Guess I'll just hold out and see how I feel after Froyo. If that ever happens............ sigh.:(
[Epic 4G General] entropism:
I'm leaving Sprint (as an employee) and never purchased a work phone, so I ordered an EVO today. I figure I could play with both and see which one I'll keep, then sell the other. A few hours later, I find out that I won another EVO in a contest from work. Not sure what phone I'm keeping, btu I'm going to have fun selling two of them. ;)
[Epic 4G General] jimmyz:
Love my epic but today I plugged it into my work computer- front usb no luck- the back- still could not mount the card! How could such a great phone lack such basic capabilities to mount the microsd card!!
[Epic 4G General] Koadic:
Almost every time I have had that issue has been because of a poor quality usb cable, including the one that came with the phone. I am currently using a 3ft cable that came with a friends Motorola Droid, and no longer experience this issue with any computer/usb port combination that I have tried (laptop/tower pc, front/back/add on card/unpowered hub).
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
I have had my Epic since roll out day. A coupe of weeks ago I was getting annoyed with Sprint and thought about an Evo. Fortunately someone asked me to do some work on it and had time to play around with it for a day. I keeping the Epic! If Sprint doesn't release Froyo by the 10th I'm going to be flashing a custom rom and the hell with their "Official Froyo" firmware. :p
[Epic 4G General] blulitespecial:
However you want to view it. If you want to go on d*** measuring over a phone that has been hung out to dry, be my guest. That .3 inches screen difference only helps if you want to walk around with a ruler. I felt the same as the op. I ditched the epic two weeks ago and thought id come by to check on the progress, of which there still isn't much.

The incredible is great and it works like its supposed to. No more samsung for me. But at least we agree on sero. I love it too.
[Epic 4G General] ficjay:
I don't have 4g but didn't expect it. But my keyboard is very useful, service a good as anyone's & and am liking it more everyday. Not less

[Desire HD General] SSJVegetto:
I found something for the Desire, Evo 4G and Droid Incredible where they said that you could increase (sometimes double) battery life by doing this:

Turn your device ON and Charge the device for 8 hours or more

Unplug the device and Turn the phone OFF and charge for 1 hour

Unplug the device Turn ON wait 2 minutes and Turn OFF and charge for another hour Your battery life should almost double, we have tested this on our devices and other agents have seen a major difference as well.

Ok, this is strange tricks, but many people said that it’s really works!

Anyone know if it works?
