I use the 4.3 no haves no undervolt cfs no sbc and get great life on the battery and good speed. A lot of this all depends on what rom you run, what radios, apps etc. The kernel that works for one may be terrible for another.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godiZFICTION:
The 4.3 update enabled (0004 hardware vers.) cameras to work. My camera didn't work with any of the other kernels prior to this update. Battery life is great... Almost 12 hours since unplugged & down to only 40% with heavy use. It's flawless from my experience. I'm running 4.3 more havs.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caspers25:
Which more havs are you testing?

BFS or CFS?

No havs which one CFS or BFS?

What does SBC stand for?

And what trickle does it do? Will it give me optimal battery life?

[General Questions and Answers] simy202:
I'm in the process of redesigning our local access station's web site. I'm just about finished, except for a program guide system. Currently, the "program schedule" page is simple HTML, but there are a number of problems with this system.

First off, the person who updates the schedule is by no means a web designer, and the page slowly deteriorates as tweaks are accidentally made while updating.

Secondly, the new site is designed to show the current day's program schedule on each page. It would obviously be a royal pain to update this manually using HTML, so we're looking for some sort of PHP calendar system on the site: PHPKode to integrate into the site.

What we need is a simple PHP/MySQL calendar system that will allow us to integrate a daily schedule into a sidebar, and set up a program grid on the main schedule page.

As in the above example, we'd like the program name to link to that show's page.

I've looked around for a few days trying to find a good system, but haven't had much luck. I don't know if there are any PHP "program guide" scripts out there, but I would think there would be some sort of calendar that could accomplish this job.

I should note I know a little bit of PHP/MySQL scripting - enough to do some *minor* tweaking to a simple script, but I'm by no means fluent with it. Bottom line- the less scripting I have to do, the better.

The current version of the site can be viewed here. (We haven't transfered our domain to the new server yet, hence the subdirectory setup.) The weather sidebar is a placeholder for the program schedule. I appreciate any suggestions or advice, so thanks in advance to anyone who can point me in the right direction!

I'm sorry to inform everyone but I'm leaving xda. I will update my work to work with the new CWM and that will be all.

Xda is getting old. Feels like I'm back in high school. To many people whining about froyo. No one knows how to use the search button. No one appreciates the work people do and demand changes. I'm sick of repeating myself cause retards don't know how to read. Mods never around and when they show up the come riding in on a high horse. I'm sure theres other reasons I'm forgetting but don't really care.

This site started off as a hobbie and became a constant headache. I have a life outside of here unlike some members and its time I start to live it again.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Later Gator.
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Agreed,i think its just Epic forums because Vibrant's xda forums are more organized and mod does a better job.
[Epic 4G General] thomasskull666:
Count me in, XDA is like a zoo now. At first it was awesome, but with the influx of people asking repetative questions it has gotten old fast. Maybe hopefully (don't count on it) official froyo will help this but I doubt it. Its time to move on, I appreciate all of the supporters of my themes and work I have done for mystery. Best of luck to everyone else, I don't know how the hell you rom devs can tolerate the stupidity of people but props. Oh and one final thought: ACS will continue to receive my work and support, simply because both rob and k0nane appreciate it. So don't think you won't hear from me again, just probably not directly on XDA.

Goodbye.

ACS ftw.

No other forum on this site has even close to the amount of issues that the Epic forum has. It's purely pathetic that people can't help rather than set everyone back constantly. Go read any thread on the Vibrant section; hardly any noobs asking stupid ****ing questions over and over.

I completely agree with you guys in the shambles that the epic forums are and I'm not even a dev. I'm glad you guys will continue to theme and if you move to a new forum or site I would love to be able to be able to get your themes firsthand. I would suggest spj since they have a ton of mods that will issue infractions and bans for not searching and violating forum rules. Thanks for all that you have done for my phone

SemiGamer and Sh0wNuf, you two guys among very few others have been the epitomy of helpful and useful users on this forum, and I for one have always had a deep respect for both of you ever since the Epic forums were in their infancy.

[Epic 4G General] Jedi2155:
Not everyone was a noob. Some read the threads and used the search option before they ever posted a thing. I really wish more people would do that and appreciate the sometimes rather difficult problems that the ROM makers go through. They could be making a lot more money in the industry but rather are here helping out the community. That I can never forget and always appreciate.
[Epic 4G General] richse:
It's hard to read this and not wonder how you have not already come to understand that all forums have the problems you are citing. This happens every day in any forum you can name on any and every topic possible.

It's sad that you can't separate the vocal minority from the silent majority. Instead you make overreaching general statements about the state of the XDA forums based on your observation of maybe 20 users who whine about updates and are too lazy to search.

Honestly, if you are unable to separate the signal from the noise and your skin is too thin to take a handful of annoying people demanding something from you then we are all probably better off with your departure.
[Epic 4G General] p-niiice:
Noob **** is a problem on every forum.
[Epic 4G General] Djinn23:
bye

Thanks for your contributions and sorry to see you go.

I do think it is funny to see those that have left whine about whiners and post complaints about complainers. With role models like that. . .. who can blame them.

I do think that you are correct that many out there are too quick to post, and I think the designs of the forums make it challenging to review an entire thread for an answer that was previously addressed.

I hate to see people tromp on people donating their time and thanks for yours. I hope that other dev's do not quit too and stick with it for those of us with this awesome phone that love their work.

Much love and god speed!
[Epic 4G General] boominz28:
if you want to leave then leave, not sure why you had to post a goodbye just to get attention. I probably am one of the noobs but oh well.

I truly hate that word its considered such a bad word now. "your a noob" geez what an insult. I think some of the devs put themselves higher then others but most of the time I think they do it just to play around and do something different.

There are a few people on here that just sit and wait for certain type posts , and then BAM they flame the OP and enjoy it. wouldnt it be easier just to help the op instead of insulting them?
[Epic 4G General] cozmonot:
Sad to see you guys go. I was recently a noob, but I didn't ask questions that had already been answered over and over. Appreciate the work and good luck on future endeavors. Its a shame the epic forum is like the wild west of the internet.
[Epic 4G General] hydrogenwv:
Thanks for everything, brother. I haven't been here long, but I can understand where you are coming from. Not to point any fingers, but I see some examples right in this thread that explain why you would want to leave. I'm not sure I blame you. I provide assistance on another forum on the web (not related to tech), and I deal with these same issues daily, and I can say I don't blame you.

Also, I agree that not everyone was a noob. I think it's important to differentiate between a noob and a newbie (newb).

Anyway, just wanted you to know that I appreciate all you've done. Thanks again.

[Epic 4G General] Mushmaster:
Our mod is terrible. Does nothing to raise the level of discourse, lets threads get super polluted... pops in once in awhile to move or lock a thread but usually just says something abrasive that doesn't help. Despite this new account I've been on the forums since I got my TP... this iks the worst I've seen it.

I have a hard time believing its the people... very little difference between somebody who buys a vibrant and somebody who buys an epic.

Thanks for your efforts emotion. Hopefully this corner of XDA gets cleaned up and you come back!
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Although other boards do have similar problems, I am not sure that any are as...immature as this one. But I think that has more to do with the Epic's demographic than anything else.

It's branded as a Media and gaming phone so we will get those types of people. The techies who know it's the best phone for everything else look beyond what TV/Sprint/Samsung told them about this phone and bought it for that. The average human bought it for the "flashiness" of it...the "bling" if you will so they can "floss" at school/work/gang driveby/etc.

I generally ignore posts that annoy me and gloss over topics that are asked too much with out commenting myself. I figure that perhaps it's a kid hitting his bong so hard (not that that's a bad thing) while searching that he forgets what he was searching for and just asks the question thinking he already searched it.

All I know is that nobody controls my emotions and decisions but me and if I decide to ever leave it won't be because a bunch of anonymous, complaining humans "made" me.

Happy Trails...Sorry you're leaving

Hey guys/gals long time lurker here on XDA. I don't post much, if anything, I appreciate all of your hard work. Even if I haven't reaped any of the benefit. I toyed with the idea of Chef'ing, but lost interest after my first build (like so many other things...sigh). Anyway, I hate seeing/losing people who have been here for so long and contributed so much to even the lurkers. Best of luck to you both, and hopefully we'll see you again soon.

I have had 3 HTC phone( 8125, tilt, & the fuze) and been on XDA modding my phone for years. The EPIC forum is the most toxic forum. Complaining , *****ing and endless "My tv-out is not working" threads. Now I only come here to check on any update info then I go. XDA always helpful in the past but, this EPIC thread has major problems and keeps running devs away.

Im so sorry to see you go, i hope i can keep in touch with you guys, you guys to great work on theming roms and i appreciate your hard work, and yes the epic forum is so messy, i think we need more activity from our moderator..

Oh i apologize for responding to those awful question threads asking stuff that is already answered but i have been annoyed lately too ive been answering the easiest questions, that people can just look through the forum and read, i mean thats what u do in a forum is read, read,read and more reading and thats how you dont become a noob.. i know i cant develop but doesnt make me a noob, i mean these complaints about froyo, questions of what rom to choose, how to root? REally How To Root its flipping stickied!!

Anyways Miss your themes guys miss you hopefully we can keep in touch somewhere else pm me if u need any testing on stock roms with deodexed themes ;)

Later

really too bad to see you go, i think you taking this too hard, and wish you can just not mind the fact that some people are too lazy, but hey, the choice is yours. thank you guys for your work, its appriciated.
[Epic 4G General] imwillzillla:
A couple of things I find interesting. Noob who was supposedly gone, comes back to warn us about a potential problem. He gets called on it and some now want to leave. Kind of like when the previous issue where something was being witheld, it was supposedly because it bricked modems, turned out to not be as problematic as they thought and then Noob wanted to leave.

What i'm getting at is, the forum is reflective on the product we've all bought. Samsung intercept has gotten froyo, Nexux S has hit the market with Gingerbread, and we're still sitting here having to void warranties and risk destroying our phones permanently to have our phones with software that's at least close to current.

Thus any little hiccup causes an uproar. It's hard really to blame anyone in these instances. I don't blame Noobl as I would want more time with anything I get my hands on before releasing it. And I think he's telling the truth about the potential dangers regarding EXT4 (Although possible he can be wrong.) I don't blame Devs from being frustrated about the continuous repeated questions, and I also don't blame noobs confirming and re confirming that they're doing the right then when their 500 dollar phone is on the line.

The search feature isn't the greatest implemented tool on this forum. And everyone involved has a lot of frustrations picking at them. I think we should just keep it moving until Froyo gets released 2012 and hopefully it will lighten the load.
[Epic 4G General] lawsofpower48:
best reply ive seen in yrs lol.... i agree with you 100 percent.... people have phone issues and they come to this forum..ive been here for a while and i do see changes in different section of the forums..there will always be complete noobs who join here and ask questions..thats what this forum is for..otherwise there wouldnt be a large community here.... the *****ing and complaining goes both ways.... with the noobs and the "older" members..... noobs complain about broken ****.... older members complain about noobs complaining..... no one forces anyone else in reading threads....move on and grow up.... as for the OP.... what is this? an exit thread so you can get stripes on your shoulder? LMFAO.... make sure you call your ISP to block this website and dont come back :) .... fukin crybabies
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
@lawsifpiwer48

Its post like this that make me want to leave. Go ahead and read any of the other phone sections. Less b/s.

This isn't a good bye thread to gain stripes but a goodbye for the people that do appreciate the work I have been involved in or done. Its a good bye to the people I helped solved problems for and the people I helped with there projects.

Why should I continue to help people when they ask for help but don't want the help. Why must I read threw a million post/threads about tv-out, froyo, best rom/kernel to use so on and so forth? Why must I repeat my self a million times to the same questions when a simple search would have got the awnser you was looking for.

I have 4 kids and a wife to spend time with but I spend most of time helping people that should have not rooted/modded there phone in the first place. It gets old after awhile.

I'm part of other forums mainly for cars and the noobs/newies w/e you wanna call them are not half as bad as they are here. There are also senior members here that are just as bad as the noobs/newbies.

If I didn't say my good byes and explain to people why I was leaving my pm box would be flooded with people wanting me to help or with request custom versions of my work.
[Epic 4G General] goddimus:
While I definitely respect the work that has been done by the people who are stating they are going to leave, and I certainly respect their decision to leave, I have to wonder what is gained by publicly posting about it in this fashion. I almost think that a better course of action would be to post an "I don't want to leave but there are some serious problems here" thread.

As has been pointed out, i think you see a lot of confusion and frustration on the side of Epic users. I was there too. I finally decided that I wasn't going to wait for Samsung and sprint to get their act together and embraced the custom mod community but it wasn't an easy decision for me. This is an expensive phone and bricking t means you are out a decent chunk of change. This potential consequence kept me from jumping on the custom rom bandwagon for a long time. I think that a few things could solve the "noob" problems that are being reported.

1) Sticky common questions, eliminating the need for search.

This could be done by creating a new thread (that is closed for commenting to keep it useful) and consolidating other threads of information that people ask about all the time into one comprehensive resource​

2) Moderation.

I am not saying that the moderation is bad here but it is obvious that it needs to be stepped up in this forum until things level out. When people ask the same questions over and over then perhaps a pm to the user with a link to the above mentioned thread followed by the original post being deleted to keep the forum clear of useless posts​

3) Patience

As has been pointed out in this thread, we were all noobs once. Some people just want reassurance before they do something to their phone that could land them in hot water.​

I will say seeing people start a thread just to post some smart ass remark is annoying but that is something that should be resolved on a moderator level. Kill the thread and the problem goes away.

I hope that those who are fed up and want to leave will decide to stick around and try to make things better. This doesn't have to be a situation that we just walk away from.
[Epic 4G General] anthromatt:
This applies equally to "noobs" and veterans alike.

Noobs don't search properly, and long time users think it is somehow better to waste a minute of their time typing out "use the search function you freakin' idiot. That question has been asked and answered 100 times already." instead of wasting 2 minutes of their time typing out "Your answer can be found here, here and here. Welcome to the forums. Next time please try searching before posting your question."
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
To all those flaming Mystery and Thomas, please just stop acting like children. I don't agree with their methodology in this particular case but I have refrained from posting on this thread out of respect.

WELL here i'll do it for you. you guys are the biggest babies you act like these noobs are camped out in front of your house waiting for an answer.

[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
I dont mind helping out the noobs, i mean i asked some questions about stuff, mainly asking what apps are good for certain things and not questions about rooting considering its freakin stickied, but still i enjoy helping out anyway i can, everyone has to start somewhere, but i do agree with you on the fact that people should read read read!!! Thats what a forum is about, kinda like reading a book considering it has more pages but over like a week i think i could read every thread and every post, called skimming..

Just my thoughts

peace..
[Epic 4G General] decalex:
I stopped reading when the posts got lengthy and defensive.

But I do wanna say (agree) that the Search feature blows and that there needs to be more Moderation. I've even reached out to offer my help there. I don't fault whosdaman; we just need 5 of him.

I also think there should be a "stickied post" within a thread, or a post ranking system.

One massive thread for development related questions is mostly useless.

All in all, I've learned a ton from mystery and another few guys, and grateful for that.
