[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
I'm actually curious about your charge question too as I'm looking at getting a 4g phone for my wife soon.

As to the other questions:

The epic is very, very easy to root (in the development section you'll find one click root and recovery, and its phenomenal) and yes most of the current roms do feature the DK28 froyo leak build. Also, Cynogenmod is very close to be completed for the epic so that is more good modding news.

Finally, as to whether I would recommend the phone that is really a tough question. The Samsung support is rather terrible. They are neither quick nor efficient at getting out updates and its quite pathetic.

On the other hand, the phone itself is blazingly fast and the screen is the most gorgeous display I've ever seen. Every time I think I'm tired of waiting for Sammy to update our software I look at the Evo and the lack of SAMOLED is just too much too bear. You get spoiled very quickly by how crisp and clean it is. My friends who have the iPhone4 and its retina display (even my brand new iPod Touch has it actually) and there is just no comparison.

I guess what I'm saying is that if the modding community is enough (in your opinion) to make up for the lack of Manufacturer support (I would say it is) then it is a wonderful phone and I would recommend it.
[Epic 4G General] DonutGrunt:
great insight thank you, and yes as long as a phone has community support and updated roms, its much more preferred to me than manufacturer updates.

the breaking deal is whether or not I still have to pay $10 a month >(
[Epic 4G General] NateWhite:
I have 2 Epic's and An EVO on our plan.

Yes you pay $10.00 per phone, per month.

As to which is better, I use the Epic the Wife uses the EVO.

Now we both had iPhone 3G before.

For me I like Touchwiz over HTC Sense UI but like I said I had an iPhone for 2 years.

The EVO is better build quality, and better support.

The Epic is faster running 2.1 than the EVO is with 2.2.

The Epic is a fantastic phone as is the EVO so you can't go wrong.

There are days I love my epic and days I wish I had the EVO...Most days I love my Epic.

As to the other Epic that I mentioned that one my 63 year old Dad is using, and no he's not a geek. And he likes it very much.

I hope that helps a little.;)

Its 10bucks per phone. On my family plan we hae two evos and an epic. I like the epic for the keyboard and gaming. U can't go wrong with either epic or evo.

They are both really good phones.

Sent from my Epic 4G
[Epic 4G General] NateWhite:
Yes I pay it :p

The funny thing is, when I was with ATT my phone bill was $50.00 more (I didn't get a discount)

But with sprint I pay less and get more service.

And yes I think the fee is BS.

It's better than just strait getting bent over :P
[Epic 4G General] JulianUF:
Wow, really? I didn't know that.

The $10 fee for one phone alone is ridiculous considering how sparse 4G is, but to charge $10 for EVERY phone? Isn't paying an extra $10 to get "special service" on your account enough? Jeez.
[Epic 4G General] bighuta:
Alright I'm just going to say this: I'm sick of people complaining about the $10 fee. Its two trips to Starbucks. 2 meals at Mcdonalds. Sprint already has the best deal on unlimited everything. Suck it up. Deal with it.

/endrant

That being said,

the Epic is a great phone. And the Development teams make it even better.

Get it. I dare ya.

Hi Guys,

I made a really terrible mistake. I did not set my international version Galaxy S to USB debugging mode before attempting to flash Voodoo lag fix with Odin. Now all I see when I turn on my phone is the phone-!-pc message. I can still get to download mode but no luck getting into recovery mode. Odin seems to be able to detect my phone when I set it to download mode and connect it to my PC. Is there anything I can do to save my phone?

Any help would be appreciate.

[Vibrant General] se7en10:
Hi all,

I did a forum search for "TV Out" but got no results.

Recently, I bought a A/V video cable to play with 'TV Out' option on the phone. Plugged it into TV (Yellow-video, Red/White-audio) then 3.5 into phone. Turned on the 'TV Out' on phone but got a scramble picture. I read on some other forum about using Red as video and Yellow/White as audio. Try it this way and it locked up my phone (blank screen) :eek:, had to remove battery to restart phone.

Has anyone gotten 'TV Out' to work, what is the process?

Thx.
[Vibrant General] blasian shadows:
depends on the cable you have. i bought a cable on ebay for 3 bucks and it works like a charm. just plug it in, then enable tv out on the phone.

it sounds like an incompatible cable.

this is what i have.

Why don't you try searching for "tv" and see what comes up. Honestly, some of you just love to complain.
[Vibrant General] m509272:
I'll apologize for the comment regarding searching this forum since obviously search doesn't work well if at all. I know the answer was there because I answered it. However, a general google search on vibrant tv out has the answer on the very first result. A little effort before cluttering up the forum with repeat junk is a good thing. Granted it's not as bad as the endless froyo threads!

[Hero, G2 Touch General] avs333:
I'm the author of rVoix app capable of recording the calls directly from line on msm7k-based devices (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=806451).

The problem which haunted me long was that my Hero just rebooted on each incoming call when I tried to use the "Auto-answer" mode in my app.

Recently, I've located the kernel bug behind that, but before I even tried to fix it, I found that the fix is already present in some kernels (notably, HTC tattoo).

In all newer HTC kernels it re-appeared both in 2.6.29 and all later versions :(.

So, I'd be very grateful if you include the patch I'm attaching here. The reason is that I'm now trying to implement some advanced auto-answering features which would be a waste of time as far as they'd work on a single Hero device (and on certain others).

Hope I'm not asking for too much.

Also, please have a look at our project http://code.google.com/p/rvoix: it has a branch by seo who managed to integrate the rvoix call recording in his Espresso ROM for Magic. The in-call recording controls (which are very inconvenient in my app) are built in Phone.apk directly, app settings -- in Settings.apk, etc.

Currently, the branch includes magic-specific smali patches, but he promised to write a review on how to integrate call recording features more conveniently.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] erasmux:
Can you please verify this solves your problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] avs333:
Confirmed. Works like a charm.

CPUSpeed shut down after I booted your kernel, but I restarted it and it now works :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Just out of interest, I remember using an app like this in 1.5 and 2.1, and it recorded the sound from the internal datastream iirc.

I can't remember the name, but this sounds interesting, though I personally don't record as many calls recently as I used to... will give it a shot though :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] avs333:
Yes, in the beginning was the app called AirVoice, but its author seemed to close his project, and wouldn't respond to any pleas to share the code.

Anyhow, I used his key trick in my app.
[Nook Color General] Philosophy757:
Anyone tried using App Inventor with the NC yet? I was setting it up yesterday to use with the Hero but since we already have adb access and the driver I'm assuming that it will show the NC as well. Wanted to see if anyone had tried using it in Windows yet.

[Epic 4G General] brickwall99:
I am currently running ViperROM(DK28) version 3.0.3. I followed all of the instructions for fixing GPS on 2.2 and then flashed to this ROM.

Whenever I remove the DRM services I notice 2 strange things that happen:

1. Quadrant is not able to complete, it gets stuck on the first test at the Video Decoding.

2. I'm unable to select a new ringtone notification in handcent, when I press OK for my selection it hangs and I have to FC it.

The reason I want to remove the DRM services is that it appears to negatively affect battery life. I notice an improvement when they are removed. If I restore the DRM services everything starts working good again.

Any ideas?
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
I wont flame you,but this has been discussed plenty,search please...Anyway,you cant remove any of the 3 without losing some funcionaliy.So the only thing you can do is disable the one that runs at boot,not uninstall.I have tried this tip that orked for a day,once you have a fresh rom installed,play some music,watch a ripped movie,change a ringtone and notification,then remove all 3 services with sdx app removal or any other method you like.But like I said this will not work for more then 2 days at most
[Epic 4G General] ArchangelRenzoku:
You're not the only one running into this issue.

I ended up rooting my Epic to get rid of all the sprint bloatware and what-not. Everything seemed to be going smooth from the stock standpoint. I removed Samsung Media hub first. Rebooted the phone and noticed nothing bad. Played around with the setup like that for a few days with no problems.

I next got rid of both the DRM service .apk's that were still running even after I got rid of the media hub... and then the problems started. For the first couple days I noticed DRAMATICALLY IMPROVED battery life and EXTRAORDINARY performance so I imagined what I did was a good thing: WRONG! A few days later, I noticed that if I assigned a sound to a notification or a ringtone *from the SD card*, that it would not work. I couldn't play sounds anymore and instead whenever I went to adjust the volume with said notes/tones selected, the Sound_service would crash.

However, I'm the only person I knew before now who has reported this issue so I'm sure there's not a lot of hubob to fix it. Every Epic is built different. Same parts or not. It's a mass-manufactured phone and each one will have its own quirks. There's my 2 cents. :P
[Epic 4G General] dyehya:
I just froze the apps when I rooted with Titanium Backup but I thought I did something wrong and figured out that sound from apps seems to trigger the software crashes. No point if fixing it now. Flash DI18 and get the EC05 update and/or get EB13.
[Epic 4G General] ArchangelRenzoku:
So can anyone confirm that the EC05 fixes the DRM issue? Otherwise there's no point in upgrading. I saw the release thread on here. Hecka people already having problems with the EC05. To upgrade for the Sprint ID packs? Won't see me do it...
[Epic 4G General] stir fry a lot:
Just let it do its thing. The amount of functonality you lose removing it is not worth the minute amount of battery life you'll save.
[Epic 4G General] ArchangelRenzoku:
I have to disagree about the amount of battery life I'm saving being minute. When I had this damned DRM service running, I maybe got 10-12 hours with

moderate

usage. Without it running and now with SRF1.0.2 running (gets rid of IQ), plus SetCPU to (clocking 200-400 when screen off, undervolting 1.0-1.2 during usage) I'm getting a good 20 hours with

heavy

usage or I can go 2 days without charging if I only use texting.
[Epic 4G General] stir fry a lot:
I do actually remember getting a good bit more battery from deleting the DRM but at the end of the day I'd rather have my music files and apps work properly. I'm used to keeping a charger on me, its just the nature of owning a smart phone.
[Epic 4G General] ArchangelRenzoku:
Yeah I'm with you on that one. Hopefully this will be one challenge [ACS] will be up to digging into.
[Epic 4G General] stir fry a lot:
I just tried stopping it in the running services menu and tested it on a few things with no issues. Doesn't take more than 15 seconds. I'll probably start incorporating it in to my TWS/Airplane mode routine (which just happens to need around 15 seconds supposedly) whenever I reboot.
[Epic 4G General] ArchangelRenzoku:
That's what alot of other people have been saying too. I guess that's what I have to do.

Some threads on SDX about this say you can use some killers to stop it at bootup (personally I've always hated killers since Android 2.0, you don't need them anymore). As long as the .apk and .odex's are there. It's only when you uninstall or freeze it that you start to run into problems 1-3 days down the line.
[Epic 4G General] stir fry a lot:
I use Startup Auditor and it only kills it briefly. I've read all the arguments against Task Killer but I'm still a fan of it. Its especially useful to see what programs start up on their own and I do notice better performance after killing the ones that have no business being open. For everything else I just set it to ignore them.

Well, I'm a typical WinMo guy. So please, excuse me if this is foolish. But, according to the research I've done, I think this topic has not been touched.

Many a times, we work on desktop PC. We have some of our files which we would DEFINITELY want on our Android. And we don't always have our device tethered to the desktop computer! Its also tiresome to manually copy files to the device!

Is there any service which allows us to sync our PC as well as Android with cloud? I wish, I can just put files on a folder on PC and they will be available on my device. Yeah! I know you would shout 'Dropbox'! Actually, in Dropbox, we have to manually download the files which we want. I want the automatic sync of a folder (chosen by me) to my device, so that it syncs in background and I have my files available on the go.

Thanks in advance.

Actually dropbox does _not_ sync to Android devices. Their Android client does download on demand only, which really sucks, and I complain about it a lot.

Given that their iPhone client _can_ sync selected files it's just pure lazyness on their part.

Sorry, I do believe it is Launcher Pro specific.

I use Launcher Pro and paid for the upgrade to Launcher Pro PLUS and found it totally worth it. The added features and overall performance boost over the standard Launcher makes it worth while. The free version is also an improvement.

If your not using another Launcher, I'd highly recommend trying one.

Launcher Pro, AWD Launcher are the two I've tried as well as Zeam. They all have free versions which are very good.

If you don't like them they can be easily removed too.

Power Management Widget

I'm by no means an Android developer. However, I have made the framework for a widget that controls hardware settings. Currently I can toggle silent mode and not silent mode. I've been looking around and the source code for Archos talks about a definition called "DYNAMIC_POWER" which I think governs the settings of "power save, optimal, and overdrive" but I don't know enough about application development to really figure it out.

Seems we are thinking alike though. It would be nice to have a widget that allows us to select or cycle through the different power management states instead of having to go into settings, about device, power management, select setting...that's a pain in the arse.

I must be doing something wrong here.

I have Odin 3 1.70.

I have the .tar file JJL4 thread in the development forum.

Samsung drivers are installed.

I take out the battery, then put it back in, then hold vol+/vol- and hit power and I'm in system recovery screen.

The last entry on the phone says installing muti-CSC.

I then connect the phone to the PC and it recognizes something on Com3. I then load the tar file in the pda section of ODIN. I'm not loading the PIT file.

When I click start, odin says file analysis, then setupconnection, then nothing else happens after that.

I don't need the .pit file, right? If I use the .pit file, does that erase the programs and data that I had stored on the phone?
