[Galaxy S I9000 General] penfold:
i just tried syncing my contacts and got a "too many deletions" msg, clicked one of the options and ended up with 4 copies of each contact.

Tried again by first deleting all the contacts on my phone and then syncing again, got the msg again, this time clicked "delete all" and it synced and then crashed.

Now i just get the msg everytime and it crashes.

I tried many different ways, deleting all contacts on web etc, same crap everytime ...."too many deletions" msg ......the number goes up everytime, now up to 1450 contacts to delete (i only have 250), then crash

I'm looking for a replacement for Mobile Defense since they seem to have discontinued their product. What's the best FREE app that will locate your phone, blast the ringer, remote wipe, etc...?

Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpbp:
....

Lookout is a good app, if u set it up properly u wont even know its there yet, it does its job pretty well, no probs since mt4g came out, its free, but they recently added "premium" services, witch are really just to lock ur phone throught the site, ,, U can backup, locate, an keep virus free, for free though, you just cant lock it from online,.. also i doubt its a battery drainer, i still havent noticed any xtra battery loss
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legaleye3000:
Thanks for the info. I'm looking to be able to remote wipe and remote lock and track the phone as well for free. Mobile Defense does all this but I don't think they're developing anymore and I heard there were issues with it on Froyo...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akulamenuri:
Lookout Mobile Security
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legaleye3000:
Yea but Lookout charges you for the features I want...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobsbbq:
sometimes everything is not free. And sometimes you get what you pay for.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legaleye3000:
True, but if Mobile Defense offers all of those for free, someone else must also. I remember seeing an app that had everything for free, I just don't remember what the other app was.....
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmw407:

Wavesecure is the best!!!!!!!

When u autolock it sounds an alarm.....and when a different sim is inserted it sends text messages to numbers that u list in ur buddy list....doesn't let the person do a master reset

*Sent from my Tmobile MT4G*
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CBConsultation:
When it comes to goofy apps and misc apps; free is always nice. But when it comes to security, I never compromise. Free or not, you get what you pay for.

I use the Premium version of Lookout. I used the free version for a long time and the jump was worth it.

There will always be someone who wants everything for free. Well...some things AREN'T. Get over it. Deal with it. That's the way it is.

If you want something bad enough and no-one makes it, why don't you be the first then?! Go develop a free security app that does everything you want then give it away to the rest of us who aren't complaining...

Prey

The app you're looking for is called Prey. The company's website is PreyProject.com. I tried posting links but I can't because I'm a new user.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kline:
Just to clarify, Mobile Defense has not discontinued anything as I am still happily using their product. They have simply closed their open beta period (and it has been closed for quite awhile, 6 month or so). If you got in before it closed and simply had to swap phones, they have links on their website to re-download the client as long as you have a login.

You can no longer find them via the Market due to having closed their open beta period.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netter123:
There are several threads in the MT4G area about 'lost phone' style apps. Even though you sometimes get what you pay for, I'd rather not pay the $20-$30 per year for the ability to lock and fine my phone (as both Wavesecure and Lookout would seem to require) unless there's really no other alternative.

After reading through the recommendations in all of these threads, Prey actually looks like it might be the best in terms of offering the most features in the free version. I'd be interested in hearing more of other people's thoughts and experiences in using these apps (with consideration of their respective prices).

For now, I'm going to download Prey and I'll report back later with my thoughts.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netter123:
Update: The developers of Prey did some debugging and were able to find the problem that was keeping the location reports from being consistently generated. I tested out a fixed version on both of my Mytouch 4Gs and it now seems to be working perfectly.
[Android Software Development] sedde:
So this question was borned in me yesterday.

Loads of times my clients need format on-the-go or recovering on-the-go.

So i was thinking, is there a software to emulate cd roms and to be able to read iso's ? I mean it should be working exactly as plugging a usb cdrom into a usb inlet, and be able to boot off there.

I tried to find something before i posted here, but i only found some programms to make your sdcard bootable ( which i already know how to do so ).

Any help will be appreciated.

PS : I own a galaxy tab, with loads of space in it, so having different iso's isnt a problem.
[Android Software Development] richiehd:
IIRC, the PSX emulator can run .ISO files, so in theory- you could run the file format BUT you'd have to have a program that can read the specific type of discs.

Needless to say, I'm not hopeful that it can be done.

Exactly which there is a 99 % chance of it being a RC since it's still very buggy and flawed, nevermind the fact google is hosting it.
[Epic 4G General] aznxcp4lyfez:
of course sprint is calling this a leaked experimental release. But i give them credit for at least making moves in the right direction for froyo. I see alot of happy users so far with minor issues.

'thats right from SPRINT people jeez IT IS THE FINAL release goto your sprint account then to your phone support see what it says!!!
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
And what does it say for you?

The only things I can find on Sprint's site -- the most recent posts from Sprint admin as of last night -- expressly deny that there has been an offical update:
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
This is what my sprint account says:

Nothing at all about dk28
[Epic 4G General] scott47:
no more GPS?

I don't see anything at all on my Sprint page about this update or even anything specific to the version of software on my phone.

I installed this update earlier today and the GPS on my phone no longer works. It worked before and I never noticed any problems or delays that others reported. I've tried wiping the data and cache numerous times and even re-installing the upgrade but nothing seems to work.

Does anyone have any other suggestions on what I might try? At this point I question whether or not this is the same update we'll receive OTA...

Thanks,

Scott
[Epic 4G General] rjmjr69:
PEople have had this issue including myself. The update is rolling out state by state units hardware 4 first then 5 should be started later today.

I had to ODIN back to di18 to get my GPS to lock now its amazingly accurate
[Epic 4G General] hardrock121:
Can you please write the exact steps to follow and give links to the files you used?? ie pit/odin/.md5

Also did you do a complete wipe or not? if not complete wipe.. which .md5 file you used. Thanks !
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
So you think Sprint's plan is to push this update to everyone OTA and then have all the end-users install Odin and fix it? Even while denying that there is such a release? Hilarious!

This is not an official rollout. It is a leak. Those who install it, and are comfortable with some level of hacking, may proceed at their own risk, as usual.

But no one should believe this is an official release from Sprint.
[Epic 4G General] shook187:
That would be great.
[Epic 4G General] Geekybiker:
Is it actually worthwhile to update from dk17 to dk29? I'm not really having any issues on dk17. Might just wait to confirm its final before going through the reinstall process.
[Epic 4G General] XtaC318:
Um.. That makes no since..

He had to odin BACK to di18 because he installed a leak..

the official is based off the knowledge of the user never hacking the phone and leaving it stock.

Therefore; no the average user will not need to use odin.. infact won't even know about it.

But those who have come to xda WILL need to odin back to stock di18 in order for the official Froyo to work when it is launched.
[Epic 4G General] rjmjr69:
Why did you edit your post and remove the link? and what proof do you have to say its not final?

Why did you remove your links and??? this is your original post below

And what does it say for you?

[Epic 4G General] acegolfer:
Suppose you got an update OTA. Wouldn't you consider it official?

If you have followed the original thread (which has been closed), the update happened OTA to a non-Sprint person. That is why many people claim it's official.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Why would Samsung release DK28 as official Froyo full of bugs when their Eclair builds were flawless? It doesn't make any sense. I sure wish people would stop saying that this is the official release and confusing new people. This is NOT the official release. There is NO evidence for that. Its NOT a finished product at this point.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
UGH. How many times does this need to be explained? He had a .4 hardware revision. .4 hardware revisions are for TESTERS. He received the update OTA because SOMEHOW he got ahold of a hardware revision that only TESTERS should have. This has all been discussed a thousand times.

Also, if this WAS the official release it would be a disaster for sprint.
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
I didn't remove the link. It still works. But the Sprint site is very slow today. If you manage to get through, you will see that the quote above is accurate.
[Epic 4G General] rjmjr69:
Then why isnt the link in your post that was edited? lol I just put the link here you deleted it. I got the email with your original post then I came to rebut and you edited it...... Just curious as to why you would remove the link you site as your proof?
[Epic 4G General] rjmjr69:
This is the post you posted with the link but HHHHMMMM no link so if you did not remove it who did? It says you edited not adim
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
I don't believe there ever was a link in that comment. Yes, I edited it, but not to remove any link, which was old news at that point. (Probably should have included one for redundancy. I did add the link to the Sprint Admin's quote is in the my other comment. Similar links have been posted in several threads at xda beginning last night. But some people don't read or search before posting.)

BTW, I'm stiill waiting for your link to your source for the erroneous information that this ever was an official Sprint release.
[Epic 4G General] njchris:
For those saying this is the "official" froyo.. who has gotten it off the air (OTA) that does NOT have a revision .4 ?

I had mine without root and applied the update.zip. Lots of things were buggy and I had to WIPE everything to get things working. That doesn't sound like a final release to me.

Regardless, when people start getting this update OTA on revision .5 then I'll believe it's the official release.
[Epic 4G General] rjmjr69:
BRO I QUOTED YOU FROM YOUR ORIGINAL POST CAN YOU NOT READ?

And my SOURCES shall remain nameless Im not talking about something I READ on a blog or some crap a low level employee tweets

So keep waiting cause its going to be a lifetime before you get my sources out of me.....lol

I have since backed off my original statement as this being official as you can see I changed the title of the thread. UNTIL it hits the .5 handsets then I will change it back just for the sake of not having to argue with people.......

AGAIN QUOTED FROM YOU ORIGINAL UN EDITED POST INCLUDING THE LINKS YOU CLAIM NOT TO HAVE POSTED

What bugs are you guys talking about? I've found nothing wrong with the new 2.2 besides I've borked my gps.. which is caused by us flashing not something they did.. and the browser is slow..

Other than that nothing for me is wrong.

Granted: I installed over odin/cwm but that shouldn't matter.. their official OTA won't install the same way we installed as update.zip
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
Your paranoia has impaired your judgment. If you look at that post of mine upthread, you will see that the links are intact.

As for the substance, you can choose not to believe the official Sprint Admin on the official Sprint site if you want. At least I am providing an on-the-record source. I choose to believe that over the paraphrasing of some secret "source" by some anonymous online persona called rjmjr69.
[Epic 4G General] tmspyder:
DI18 is still the latest open source listed for the SPH-D700...

When the Froyo rom is Official it too will be listed..

Nuff said
[Epic 4G General] skywalkr2:
Other than a few force closes on my end... no problems so far. I have it running flawlessly now using Launcherpro.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
The graphics drivers are not up to par, which is causing some lag/jitter in the UI and glitches in games. I notice it right away trying to play Asphalt and Dungeon Hunter. These bugs were not in stock 2.1 or any of the 2.1 custom ROMs. The avg FPS on Froyo so far seems to be 10-20 FPS lower than stock 2.1.
[Epic 4G General] kristv:
My wife and I both updated to this latest update from stock with no issues during the install. The only problem I seem to have with my phone is that the battery life has taken a big turn for the worse. I was satisfied with it before, but it's dying in half the time (or less!) than it used to with 2.1. It's not a major issue for me, considering all of the pluses of Froyo...but I'm a little disappointed with the new battery life. If this is definitely NOT the official update that will be released, I'm hoping they fix this small problem before pushing it OTA. I have no complaints elsewhere though. GPS has been fine.
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
You are the first person to say batt life is worse on the new build. Everyone has been singing songs of praise of how much it has improved. I suspect something isn't right with your install.
[Epic 4G General] anthromatt:
My battery life is much worse too. Nothing at all is different on my phone aside from the new OS (I re-installed all the same apps). Android System run time is typically 30% above that of screen on time. With 2.1 it was about 10% above the screen on time.

I did restore all the apps from a backup (I did not restore system data). Perhaps I should do a full wipe and re-install everything directly from the market instead? That'll take forever...yay.
[Epic 4G General] kristv:
My wife feels that her battery life is worse too, but I don't know how bad hers is. All I know is that mine used to last all work day and through the evening before dying (sometimes even through the commute to work the next morning). I just changed my battery at about 1pm CST, and it's already down to 56%! Yikes!

Information regarding*Android 2.2 leaked test release DK28 for Samsung Epic 4G -*http://bit.ly/fLsLh2

Dec 6, 2010

Epic - Android 2.2 Leaked Test Release - DK28

Below is a statement from the Epic Product Manager regarding the leaked release (DK28):

Sprint is working on a software package for the Samsung Epic4G that will upgrade it to the Froyo version of Android. Over the weekend, some users were able to access and download a test build (DK28) for the Samsung Epic from some 3rd party developer sites. Unfortunately, this is not approved software for Sprint production devices and we strongly recommend that users refrain from loading it.

Software version DI18 is the current production version of software. When new versions of software are available, users will receive a notification from Google on their device stating that an upgrade is available for download and installation. While we are unable to communicate a firm delivery date, rest assured that we are working on a software upgrade to Froyo and hope to have it out in the very near future.
[Epic 4G General] Unknown Zone:
Believe me it was hard to refrain but I am glad I did, to many people were having issues so I knew something was up/wrong with DK28.
[Epic 4G General] BopChie:
i can say this "I am still going to run dk28"

my gps is rockin,everything i use works fine and my batt is not much worse than it was on eclair.
[Epic 4G General] shellee:
I wish I had waited :(.

Now I have ,

- laggy games and launcher,

- a dead GPS,

- unreadable SD Card that causes anything that tries to access it to force close.. so no access to new music, vid s, and pix, and no space to get/take any new.

- and a powerful longing for Palm's webos dr for android

Stock DI18 to Stock DK28
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Dang, that sucks.

One question though, when the OFFICIAL update DOES come out, is there way to update to the real DK28 without having to flash back to DI18?
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
I'm glad I don't have the itchy update trigger finger. I think the Epic is already a great phone with the official software on it. I needed to root for modest reasons and while I expect improvement with Froyo, it wouldn't have been worth the risk for me. I applaud those who take the chance but that's why I participate in xda, to learn from the more knowledgable and foolhardy ;)
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Oh shush, lol. How were we suppose to know it was a leak, and not official at the time?

Besides, Sprint should just make an update that's slightly different from the one we downloaded so it'll show up and we don't have to use Odin and all.
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Calibrate your battery you will find the batt life is better.
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
I have no problems with this version of froyo. it was the first version with a flashable modem so very nice. battery life is way better all the way around and no force closes once you get your apps updated and ironed out. everything works as it should. im just waiting for the custom kernels YAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!
[Epic 4G General] skywalkr2:
Well played with it and dont have major issues, but would like to go back to DI18... anyone have a link to a good post that explains this to newbs? The update.zip to put on this update was very easy.

FYI I tried already to use ODIN to do this, but was completely unable to. If I start my phone in download mode neither my windows xp or my windows 7/64 computer recognize the phone. It says its missing gadget serial driver on both machines.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
How does one do this?
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Drain your battery completely and let it charge for about 8 hours straight (do not turn the phone on, leave on the battery chargig screen) without any usage of it.

This allows the more chemicals in the battery to be released and make the battery life better.
