Ignoring that this is in the wrong section.

[Epic 4G General] jirafabo:
He's developing HATE! HATER!

Haha but for real, I understand what he's saying. Samsung has great hardware and $hit support/development. If it weren't for the devs on XDA, this phone would be a joke. We all just have to realize that we've already bought the phone, so they could care less about how we feel about it now.

Jesus, sell the damn thing and get a phone that makes you warm and fuzzy on the inside.
[Epic 4G General] Deleted member 2173701:
as im more likely to agree....im kind of wondering if there is a phone that does make you feel warm and fuzzy, its probally cancer, herpes, or mono. you might just wanna stick with a good phone and leave the warm and fuzzies to the adult bookstores :)
[Epic 4G General] dantichrist:
Now I'll be honest. I think what you spewed is complete garbage. I'm running dk28 with no issues. I didn't have issues with eclair after the updated it to fix the "capped upload" issue. So I CHOSE to update it, I didn't have to...

I don't know how someone can possibly be so impatient that they'd run away crying like a 12 year old girl with a skinned knee for an update that hasn't even had a official release date given for it (that I've ever seen anyway). So, your impatience is not a sprint/samsung issue. It's a you issue. But I guess people like you would rather throw out a buggy update to shut whiners like you up. But then I'll guarantee that'd warrant another post from you crying about it. Maybe in the themes/apps section this time?

With that being said, since you obviously don't understand forum ediquette, I'm also left to assume you screwed something up when you flashed unsupported software to your phone by not follwing instructions, or whatever the case is. And AGAIN this is something that's you're fault, not sprint/samsung.

So yeah... The devs here made my phone a lot more of a pleasure to use. But it was a great device out of the box. The best I've owned so far by a long shot.

And if you want everything to work %100 why would you flash leaked software anyway?
[Epic 4G General] justkane:
Re-read what he wrote in the second post and you'll find this in the second paragraph:

Trevor, wrong section but since it's already here I must say it's definitely a justified rant. I've personally never really had an issue with those problems because I expect them to happen when I change it from stock, but I suppose I'm the minority. A friend and I had a conversation a week ago and believed because of the Nexus S that it would be in Samsungs best interest to just release the Vanilla version of each release to the carriers and let us pick and choose which bloatware we'd like, much like what we currently do with the ROMS. It would definitely feed the 3rd party developments as well as enhance what makes the Android platform wonderful.

With that said, try to post in the right section next time =)

So OP has a DInc now? He's going to be pissing and moaning when the Galaxy S series gets Gingerbread before his phone (thank you Nexus S). I hope the DInc forum goers are extremely tolerant..

+1 OP I don't get W$F samsungs deal is? can u see dell, asus or samsung for that matter releasing a new pc last Sep & or summer with vista on it and not having any win7 drivers in 10~11/2009 ? NO u can't! But thats what samsung is almost doing hear.

A friend got a LG Optimus s (free phone btw) the gps works better than epics on 2.1. O and the free optimus has 2.2

Ya go a head and flame me idc am I ranting YES! The point is samsung is ........ no I think sprint is dragging ass on this update and it should have been on the phone a long time ago.

Have you ever thought that the Incredible had bugs when it first came out. Really the Epic is only 2 months old while the incredible came out at April. And also Iphone 4 came out with a serious flaw of "holding the phone wrong" and Iphone users still stick with it.

[Epic 4G General] J31Rob:
LMFAO. You're an idiot. Nothing he said was incorrect by any means. He's giving HIS opinion on the situation. You're like an iPhone user.. you overlook incompetance because you own the phone being put on blast. Id love for everything to work on my Epic.. that's not the reality though.

Oh.. and way to be a hipocrit. "It must be a user error" followed by "why would you expect leaked software to work?" LMFAO. Some of you dudes crack me up. (Edit:) one more thing brah, way to dog out the devs who spend countless hours cooking our ROMS.. claiming their leaked software doesn't work.
[Epic 4G General] zman519:
Ummm yes it is lol the point is that's	BS and so is 2.1 still being on this phone. I can't believe that the phone has GPS @ 98' lock but a free phone from sprint gets a 16' lock indoors lol. Now don't get me wrong I love the epic and I'm not guna return it. If my words come off as me being really upset about it that's just wrong its only a phone and there are better things in life to get worked up about. I'm just saying its crazy to have a phone of this caliber NOT be running the newest os.

I think he was giving fair warning about LEAKED software in particular being hazardous. Even the Devs would agree on that one.
[Epic 4G General] Mook1e:
Haven't had 1 issue with my epic since I got it 1 week after launch. GPS works every time, battery life is fine, especially when using wifi (14+ hours easily) and I'll care about Gingerbread when I need it (or froyo for that matter) in order to do something I can't already do. (Don't care about flash right now) I haven't had any issues with build quality (my epic has survived a static line parachute jump out of a ch-47 helicopter and subsequent landing) or service.

I guess I'm just lucky. Besides my fellow phone geeks poking fun about their (nexus and evo) phones getting more updates and dev support, I'm fine with waiting patiently.
[Epic 4G General] zman519:
Now that you say that Flash is a BIG somthing to me. samsung/sprint are lazy asses! This whole not being up to 2.2 when 2.3 is out made me reconsider buying a new samsung monitor and guess what I will keep my Epic but I did not buy that monitor & and I will not be buying any samsung TVs washer dryers untill I start to read about samsung taking care of its updates. Well maybe I'll buy a samy tv that's AMOLED but that's years away.

I'm getting a free samsung 46" lcd because there is a shadow on my current olevia 47" where 4:3 content and 16:9 content differ. Samsung is fine with me.
[Epic 4G General] thematrixkid17:
It comes down to money, kids. So what if Samsung has gingerbread working on a similar phone? It is still going to cost them additional development and testing resources to get it working properly on the Epic. And for what rate of return? The majority of their users have no idea what version of Android they're running, and could give two ****s less.

I don't know about you guys, but around here, any phone that runs Android gets called a "Droid", regardless of whether it is made by Motorola or not. These are the people that Samsung makes money from, so these are the people that Samsung cater to.

Face it people, we're a niche market.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
As much as I hate what you said, you're 100% right. Samsung knows that no matter what they do, we'll always be cooking up new roms and ignoring what they put out anyway so why cater to us?
[Epic 4G General] dantichrist:
Yeah, I was. But I guess tards will be tards. So whatever lol
[Epic 4G General] cbpagent72:
I wish that Samsung management/engineers actually read these forums and understood they are destroying their customer base simply by not developing timely, stable and efficient software. The only way you can help change the situation is to write a honest review of your complaints on Samsung.com. I did and it felt good that my review is out there for Samsung employees to see and potential customers to be eductated about the negatives as well as the positives of the device.
[Epic 4G General] rockrerun:
I think this is just a phone buying disease (maybe we need to create a name for it?). It doesn't matter what kind of amazing phone comes out, you will still get tired of it a few months after purchasing it, and then you'll start to nit-pick and whine about problems with it to make yourself feel better.

I don't blame you, I have the same bad habit of needing a new phone every 6 months. However, I have a different way of dealing with it.

Feel free and take a look at old forum posts from any old device, even back to the HTC Apache days. You'll see the same trend, over and over, with thousands of different users.

All the phones are awesome and are adored for the first few months, then people start *****ing about it. It's an expensive lifestyle for people like us, but get over it and go buy your new phone already.
[Epic 4G General] zman519:
They make lots of stuff that I would buy & or like. But this is total BS. Like I said b4 its like putting vista on a dam windows pc & not 7.

the point is that I could buy a samy watching machine but be cuz samy is dragging ass on updating my phone I don't buy a samy.

Thats all I was getting at, I don't think they understand how it CAN impact sales of other stuff they make. Or maybe the phone people @ samy just don't give a crap if I get a samy watsher or not.

I bet we will not see froyo in 2010. I hope I'm wrong but we will see.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PGleo86:
Hey, so Im kind of a noob at Android and I was wondering if I should install a custom ROM. Will I need to reinstall apps? Will I lose my data on SD/internal 8GB? Etc.

Thanks in advance
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setexascustoms:
You won't loose anything on your SD card, and you can backup your apps with Titanium Backup (there're free and paid versions in the market). I'm running SkyRaider Sense (link in my signature) and I love it, super stable and it has some very nice features (reboot options, toggles in notification bar) and there are several nice themes a tweaks so you can get it just how you like it. :D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PGleo86:
Well I looked at SkyRaider but it didn't seem like it was too much for me. So I'm downloading myn's warm two point two which brings me to my next question: what does wipe data/cache/dalvik do?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gahh Its Lee:
Factory reset basically its important when flashing a rom
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PGleo86:
Ah ok. If I don't wipe data is it ok?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setexascustoms:
It depends on how heavily the ROM has been modified, the further it is from you current ROM the more important it is to wipe. With that said I would suggest that you wipe, it's just cheap insurance. :D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gahh Its Lee:
I personally use my backup pro to restore apparently after a wipe it can do data like texts and what not as well
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PGleo86:

Ok this is weird... Out of nowhere my pictures and wallpaper folders are slowing duplicates of every photo when viewing them in the gallery (3 to be exact). The thing is when I view the folders through a file manager there are no duplicates. If I mount the sd card through the phone, no duplicates. If i pop the card out and put it into a card reader, no duplicates. I have no idea what couldve caused this but its very annoying. Its not the first time this has happened. I tired deleting the thumbnail cache but that did nothing. I'm tired of having to delete and recopy the folders over every thing this happens. Anyone else experiencing this or know how to fix it?

Is there a method of fixing the problem that doesn't involve screwing up your ringtones and notification sounds? I have deleted the following files twice now, and each time I've had to redo all my ringtone and notification settings:

- /sdcard/Android/data/com.cooliris.media

I've heard the same needs to be done for this method:

Hi, after doing this and restarting, my Gallery and Music is empty now. I checked the actual folders through file explorer and they are still there, they just do not appear in Gallery and Music any more... It takes about an hours to show up again.

Any ideas?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThePaleAle:
Reformatting doesn't fix it though. I have tried a different ROM (AOKP based) and different Kernel but this seems to recur.

SD Maid doesn't get rid of the duplicates. Only deleting the Media Data does. This has to be done often though... wanted a more permanent solution.

thanks :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akarshfrevr:
Did u use duplicate files finder in sd maid ? .....make a clean install by going back to stock via Odin and flash ur ROM
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThePaleAle:
It's not creating actual duplicate files. It seems like any media files only on the external micro SD card get 'duplicated'. When I say duplicated I mean that within the Gallery and Music Player there are duplicates of each file. When I check for the actual file (through folder explorer) there is only 1 of them... I think there is something messed up with the index/thumbnails?

It's been wiped quite a few times along with the Davlik cache. I've tried different Micro SD Cards, but each of them produce the same issue eventually
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThePaleAle:
I've also just done a full factory restore then wiped the cache's and installed a new ROM and Kernel... issue is recurring again. It is only the external microSD media that gets duplicated within the applications. The files don't actually duplicate in the file explorer. Something is going wrong with the thumbnails or indexing of these files.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the emmc mount point?

Hey guys. I need to return my devices as there are some heating issues causing it to freeze very oftenly. I have one issue! I used HSPL and Cooked roms. I just installed a supposedly a TMOUS stock rom (although when checking the phone system information it says WWE), and I need to make sure that it is EXTREMELY cleen of any previous hacking. How can I make sure that there is no HSPL and that all the things are as the phone has never been hacked? I have read quite a bit, but some of these questions remain unanswered. I appreciate ANY help. Thank you!
[HD2 General] jsmccabe78:
if you flashed the stock rom from your sd card, all is good (it will remove hspl and put your spl back on.)

if you flashed the stock rom via usb, hspl is still present. simply run hspl installer and select your spl version (simply redo your original steps.) or simply re-flash your stock rom via sd card.

you can always see if you have have hspl by booting into bootloader (turn phone off and then turn on holding volume key down. tricolor screen appears. look for hspl. if not there, all is good. to get out of bootloader, simply remove battery and replace and turn phone on.)

do the above and all will be good. let me know how it goes.

I am running cm6.1 on a Htc Evo, have a gingerbread theme, and have applied a density of 180. At this density, everything looks awesome - besides the status bar. Is it at all possible to adjust the density, change the size of the graphic, change some code to make the status bar and icon appear larger while still keeping the overall density setting?

Adam
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aamikam:
u can... if u know how to decompile the framework and change sizes in the specific xml... its doable.

i never checked... but from what u saying the size is pre-set, at least i would think so cuz the status bar image is usually a png 9 image that gets stretched to the pre set size.

i dont have time to try and help u find it and/or much more... but decompliling the framework-res apk and looking at the xmls that have something to do with the status bar (they r named with "status_bar..." usually) should set u in the right direction atleast.
