[EVO 4G General] dougjamal:
After numerous months, my Swype Beta invite has finally been accepted, however, I am currently using the hacked Swype v.2.4.44.10912. Other than getting the latest Swype version & possible future versions, what is the advantage of me using the new swype beta instead of using the version I already have and am satisified with?
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Well...it's legal?

Otherwise any benefits of the new updates.

Rarely do updates make an app worse so...I don't see the negative in updating.
[EVO 4G General] splmonster:
Your running a pretty old build.. They are up to 2.15 now.
[EVO 4G General] dougjamal:
Great point.:) Thanks for the reply.
[EVO 4G General] dougjamal:
Yes, but it still works and I like it as-is. I appreciate your reply though. :D
[EVO 4G General] TheSilverStig:
I'm pretty sure one of the biggest updates in this version is speech to text. Don't quote me on that but I'm in the same boat as you. I have a theme mod on my swype so im not updating but I'm still in the beta. If anyone wants a swype beta let me know. Im not using it.
[EVO 4G General] dougjamal:
I hear ya...lol...I've waited months for my invite to be accepted and in the meantime, I've used several betas that were found online but have since expired and then I found my current hacked version that will not expire and I'm satisfied with it as-is. My primary keyboard is still Smart Keyboard Pro. I don't care about using text-to-speech. Heck, if I'm going to talk, I might as well call the person I want to talk to...lol. Anyway, I appreciate your reply. Thank you.:D
[EVO 4G General] IMiLL102911:
I also received an invite from swype and upgraded to the newest version. Will this beta version ever expire?
[EVO 4G General] dougjamal:
I would prepare for it to expire at some point like the ones before it, however, being that your invite was approved, you would more than likely be allowed to upgrade to the next beta, if there is another one.
[EVO 4G General] TheNexxuvas:
Received my invite and dumped my hacked version. Haven't regretted it yet. hacked version even had mic for speech 2 text but I like the looks, feel and speed differences of the legal beta client over the hack.
[EVO 4G General] Necrosan:
I've had problems with the beta "locking" on me where I have to reboot for it to allow me to Swype again. (tap typing worked, but it's Swype!)

This happening to anyone else?
[EVO 4G General] bigmoogle:
When that happens, I usually select to the default keyboard and then back to Swype. That fixes it. No rebooting
[EVO 4G General] KiamatDusk:
Mine has suddenly started saying "this version of Swype was not designed for this model phone" and then won't Swype. (I'm in the official beta). I uninstalled/reinstalled and it worked for one word and threw the same error. I tried switching to another keyboard and back and still nothing. It worked fine for the first few days.

Anyone know if the new update will kill root?

[Desire HD General] xspyda:
Well, dsp manager is a great app and enables you to bring the audio quality of the Desire HD from the in built speaker to something like what it should have been in the first place. For me, the poor speaker is one of the biggest let downs of the dhd and dsp manager sorts that.

BUT ...

The increased volume comes at a cost - battery! I have been experimenting this evening to find out the cause of my battery drain and relatively high mA readings from current widget when in standby.

I have found that without dsp manager installed I drain about 3-5 mA when in standby, whereas with dsp manager installed (and not even activated) this jumps to about 12-16 mA.

Not sure if it's worth the trade off bu then I'm not comfortable listening to the low sound of the dhd without it.
[Desire HD General] exidler:
I can confirm extra battery drain with dsp manager on sense roms.

But my drain was 5-10ma vs 20-35ma.

So I'm decide to prefer battery life vs loud speaker :)
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
Interesting. Especially considering many people have been QQing about battery life in the Cyanogenmod rom, which has DSP manager by default.
[Desire HD General] rossysaurus:
wow. 15mah is high? mine is idling at between 200 and 400. ive uninstalled damn near everything. no idea whats wrong with it, but its been off charge 6 hours in my pocket doing nothing and its now on 35% battery. just put it on charge again. grr.
[Desire HD General] broncogr:
Can confirm that Dsp Manager drains the battery fast!!
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
is this a bug with dsp manager on the DHD or does the app do this on all phones?
[Desire HD General] broncogr:
I dont know but for DHD the drain is great

But next phone I get i'll take your advice and get the same one as you :p Maaybe ;)
[Off-topic] Deleted member 2500726:
Lol :p If you buy the DHD you're going to be amazed by the screen. I thought I knew what was coming but holy c***p when I got the phone I was so surprised by the screen size :eek: It was like holding a 50" LED TV in my hands :D So I see it like this: if you really use the keyboard a lot for SMS'ing, browsing etc. buy the Desire Z but you're going to be blown away if you buy the DHD if you don't have such a big need for a physical keyboard :)
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
Hmm.. So tempted... Stop making it HARD!!!!!! :p

I've been on one at Harrods ;) And it is nice... Camera is amazin... although I have yet to been on the dz ;D

(:eek: That first bit sounds wrong)
[Off-topic] Deleted member 2500726:
Lol :rolleyes:

BTW when I first looked at the Desire Z I thought it had an amazing design. Much better than the DHD but when I really looked thoroughly I actually thought it was kind of boring. And okay if you look at the DHD it also seems like it has a rather boring look but unlike the Desire Z I actually thought it looked better when I gave it a good look :p

Am I making it harder? (Lol that's what she said :D)
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
Haha :D

Well... I'll keep thinking for now ;)

[Epic 4G General] Shadomastr:
Hey guys quick question,

After reading on several sites about the android 2.2 for the epic that was released on googles servers I flashed to that. So, I'm on android 2.2 now and 1) am wondering if it was a real rom or if it was just a leak and 2) why didn't we get the puzzle piece lockscreen like the captivate vibrant etc.?

Thanks for your help

Edit: I'm currently on dk28
[Epic 4G General] shad0wfire:
1) leak, it isn't "official" unless sprint provides it

2) different pieces are scattered between galaxy s phones, find someone to port it as an add-on
[Epic 4G General] Shadomastr:
Thanks so much for your help. One last question: will I receive the"official" update ota even though I'm on this leaked rom? Do I need to flash back to stock 2.1?
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Have to be on 2.1 to get the ota.
[Epic 4G General] Erica8123:
Ever since I rooted I can not get my Epic to connect to a computer period. I'm about to give up and just deal with what I got, hopefully someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong. Before anyone decides to be a smart ass I have used the search function literally for days and have tried tons of things recommended with no result. I am the first to admit I'm an idiot when it comes to anything involving computers but I'm pretty determained to learn.

This has to be the phone because I have tried to connect to 2 desktops (1 running Windows 00 and 1 running the most updated Ubuntu), and 3 laptops (Windows xp, Windows Vista and Ubuntu). When I rooted I used the Vista computer and connected fine (can't anymore). I didn't have the space on the C drive to install the Android SDK so I switched to Ubuntu (first time user btw lol). Somehow when I was backing my SD card I lost any access to it or the notification bar. I never got my SD back til I rebooted but I haven't been able to connect to any PC since. When I charge (even in the car) it always tries to stay in mass storage mode. I basically charge in my car with my phone off hoping it will just charge and not mount my sd card to my car or wall lol. Yes I wiped 3 times, partitioned sd, tried several different cables (but my husband used mine and no problems on his Motorola) I'm sure I've done something wrong when I rooted or mounted to Ubuntu.

I also can't use adb. I followed the directions to the t (a few times lol) but when I run any commands it says "no such file or directory" I didn't have adb on the windows pc when I di noobnl's one click so I never ran the (adb shell ect) commands. I now can't do jack. I am now running noobnl's DI18 ROM with modem.bin flashed thru Clockworkmod.

I have tried all the basics you will find wit 2 days of web search.

My goal is DK28 (dream on Erica lol)...Thanks for any help and for anyone sparing me a lashing ;-)
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
When you plug in on your windows pcs...in Device manager..do you see anything appear? also do you have USB debugging on the phone?
[Epic 4G General] blutenchi:
USB debugging on?

Have you tried reinstalling the drivers for the Epic?

Rebooted phone and PC? (Sometimes it helps)

Used Odin?

Something might have been screwed up during one of your downloads, bad file maybe. Try reinstalling your drivers first, use Odin (phone must be in download mode), and see if it recognizes te device. If it does then Odin the stock .tar file and go from there. It'll give you a fresh start.

That's all I can think of right now.
[Epic 4G General] quik99:
I bet your USB debugging is on since most root's requier it. Even tho it says connect to pc if usb debugging is on it wont connect to my windows 7 box
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
I would suggest, if you're really having this many issues, just boot into download mode (1 on the keyboard + power button) and odin back to di18.
[Epic 4G General] bilestoad:
Just for kicks have you tried Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset? I assume that wiping does the same thing if not more but it's worth it to see if it somehow resets a setting that might be the issue.

What's left - software issue or Hardware issue.

Software:

hmmm...yeah gotta try connecting through Odin which uses downloader mode instead of USB modes...

Can Odin see your phone? Run Odin as admin with antivirus off, and proper samsung drivers installed. Then boot phone holding down 1 key into downloader mode. Connect to computer through USB port on back of computer (i.e. directly to motherboard) - does Odin identify something attached to USB port?

Yes - flash the dk28!

No - with Odin still on, unplug the USB cable, pause, and reconnect it. Still No? Try a different USB port on computer. Also try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers - be sure to reboot the PC. If still No, then try on another computer, and as you did before, try different cables. Still No?? --> hardware problem with phone.

Hardware problem with phone: Look at the usb port in the phone - is there any junk in there that might interefere with the connection?

Yes - clean it out

No: phone perhaps internally damaged:

Solution for hardware damage:

You and husband clean up and go to sprint store.

At store - tech will know phone is rooted, so:

--Tech more likely to like you? You handle it, maybe even blame husband. Husband can silently attend and look sheepish, playing the part of 'me man, me dominate environment, me break fancy tech of wife, me sorry." Try to get free replacement phone while simultaneously promising never to let your husband root the phone again, or even touch it.

--Tech more likely to like husband? He goes alone, cops to the true story of how you rooted it and then was backing stuff up when it suddenly stopped working [truth from men? so sincere!]. Try to get free replacement phone while simultaneously promising not to let you in the house should you even attempt to root again.

P.S. forgot to add you might turn off the PCs firewall while testing, as well.
[Epic 4G General] skywalkr2:
same here. I tried out the free tethering app the other day and with usb debugging on i coudl never get it to install the proper drivers. Without it on and the 64bit drivers installed Odin worked just fine.
[Epic 4G General] Ezalis:
I have seen many Galaxy S devices not connect to a computer because of a faulty USB cable. Had my girlfriends sister switch out 3 Vibrants only to accidentally try and connect it to a laptop with a different USB cable and I've seen two others not connect with the stock Samsung USB cable.
[Epic 4G General] netbones:
How I fixed the tethering issue

I've had the same problem with my galaxy s - connecting to the PC (Win7 32bit) just doesn't do anything. As a test, I had a friend with the same phone/rom (froyo, rooted) connect - and he was able to! It installed the drivers and it just worked. He disconnected, I connected, and now it's fine.

So, see if you can find someone with the same phone and see if they can connect. Makes no sense to me, but it worked.
[Epic 4G General] soundman1024:
I've had my Epic fail to mount before. Interestingly any time I had an issue it was with a Mac - it always mounts on a PC. I'll stop now before I open up a can of worms.

Best advice I have is get a Dropbox account. You can use that guy to move files from a computer to the SD card without having to mount to the computer. Perhaps you can get a factory ROM (with root of course) on your phone that way?
[Epic 4G General] crackem:
You can get a app from the market called SWIFTP (free) & connect to your sdcard via ftp server. This can be a temporary fix till you get your connection error resolved.
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
I have 1 USB port on my laptop that the Epic shows up as "unknown device" on. Works on every other port, and everything else works just fine on the same port. The factory USB cable is finicky!
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
I have had my G-Tablet since Thanksgiving morning, and I have been reading this forum since later that day.

I went through all the stock trials, realizations about limitations, anquishes about what the stock tablet could and couldn't do and the like.

Reality is that the stock G-Tablet is not bad. But it will not be good unless you work with it and make it that way. If you are one of those people who want everything right out of the box and absolutely perfect, don't waste your time. Just leave it in the box -- go down and tell the Sears people it doesn't have flash like promised -- get your money back -- and create another "refurb" for those of use who want to make it into something great. (At this point, I don't think you should have flashed any ROMS or made any serious mods until you really understand what you want and need.)

How do you make it great?

First you have to accept what it is and isn't and learn enough about the standard tablet to work with it and modify it. You will need to root it with "r4root" (and one-click makes that easy enough) to get access to everything. It helped me to install "Root Explorer," which I think gives a fairly clear access to everything you need to work on. And I think you should install "Titanium Backup" partly to back stuff up and partly because it provides useful tools to fix stuff. You probably will need to "side-load" this stuff to get it working before you start making major changes. I think probably "ClockWorkMod" should go on as soon as you determine you are going to keep the tablet, stock or not (but I was put off at first by all the "for advanced users" notices about it.).

Now comes the hard part. You need to READ, READ, READ these forums and learn everything you can about the G-Tablet. I even have used the "Thread Tools" to change some of them into printable format so I can print them out and highlight things I need to know or remember. Unless you are a lot smarter than me, you won't be able to remember it all. So organize it.

I also have created a G-Tablet folder under the "Downloads" library in Windows 7 on my PC, and under that I have folders for "Apps," "Downloads" not yet categorized, ROMS, Pictures, Misc. As I run across files I may need, I download them. If someone writes about one that I think is a bad choice, I delete it. And I make sure I learn what the good ones are and what they do.

This is getting long, but I hope by now you are seeing that it takes some effort to make your G-Tablet really fast, fun and fabulous. For my part, what started out as a gadget purchase, has become an educational, entertaining project. In fact, I have about reached the point that I think I need one for regular use -- and one to mod and play with.

So get with it and have a good time -- or don't waste your time if that's your choice. IMHO. And whatever you wind up with, enjoy until the next and better toy comes along!

Rev

P. S. -- BTW, there are a lot of good things about the G-Tab price-wise and value wise too. But I'll leave that for you or someone else to figure out. :)
