Im not saying that the demand for the phone is the main cause that it's availability is limited. HTC's supplier problems are well documented but you can't totally discount the popularity and demand for the phone as also being a factor as to why they aren't readily available. Were not talking about a new phone that just hit the market. This phone is over 7 months old now. In the current day & time that is over half the life expectancy of a phone. Fact is Sprint replaced the Epic at the top of the list because it was a "Epic Failure". Time to cut losses & move on to the next hot phone. Samsung's window has opened & closed. On another note. You say Samsung supplies the screens for the Evo....and HTC can't keep up with demand for lack of screens....do I smell a conspiracy brewing? Memo to HTC...Maybe its not such a good idea to rely on a competitor for the main component of your hottest selling product....

Sent from my new BFF...Evo 4G that is!
[Epic 4G General] Demianwulf:
Profit is everything...the epic never had a chance to be big like the evo/iphone even if imho its the better phone. Lets get real people don't care about what's better they just want what's hot or "in" and what's hot right now are large screened thin sleek phones not more capable keyboard friendly thick phones (relatively). I can't be too upset at a company throwing most of their time and attention at their cash cow the evo and hamstringing the niche less profitable epic...its what I would do too I guess.

I brought this phone knowing samsung/sprint support would be lacking but hoping the dev community would pick up the slack.

Learning the hard way I suppose.
[Epic 4G General] globalninja:
And the devs are holding out awesome. I would have probably dropped the epic if it weren't for the dev community...
[Epic 4G General] Mugen678:
Sprint never fully advertised the phone for some reason. Advertising imo has sold the evo the way that it has. Side by side, the epic is the better phone. People won't spend 50 extra dollars to just get a keyboard. Everyone is still tight with money and I bet most people would take the 8mp non-keyboard over the 5mp keyboard phone to save $50. These days enough people have gotten use to their ipods. If I am not mistaking, the evo dropped at 199.99. The epic is just now getting down to that price.... People that aren't tech savvy don't care that the hummingbird is faster and don't ,for the most part, know what 8gb and 16gb is. 8 is plenty for 75% of the community anyways, so why would they want to pay more for a phone they have probably never seen that sprint doesn't advertise.
[Epic 4G General] klbjr:
True. Perception is everything. Granted the Epic may have slightly better hardware but the Evo, in the eyes of the public was the next best thing to the iPhone. It came out & gave the iPhone a run for its money. Plus it was a "first" phone. First 4G phone, first phone in the US with a FFC that I know of. First with HDMI. It also had largest screen to date except for its cousin the HD2. And s few other things. The perception was & still is that this was Sprint's iPhone Killer that everyone has been waiting for. I have a friend who is district manager for a few Sprint stores in our area & he has told me that the majority of the Epic's sales that he has witnessed have been people looking for the Evo but because they never have any in stock they have to settle for the Epic. It is pawned off as a lil Evo with a keyboard. Nevermind that on paper its specs are better than the Evo's. Perception is everything & right now the Evo is Sprint's crown jewel. The Epic is seen as the poor cousin. I don't think it would have sold half as much if HTC could have kept up with demand.

[Epic 4G General] deano0714:
I agree completely I only got the epic because the evolution was out of stock everywhere but now I like my decision better... when I was choosing I didn't notice the great screen on the epic and the better proccesor ( I didnt even know what that was) but now I know more about this stuff thanks to the community.
[Epic 4G General] _a_k_:
Both phones plain and simple are pretty amazing to say the least. Especially coming from a blackberry or antiquated HTC Windows based device. The primary concern I have with my evo is sprint primarily. I had placed my order for a new/refurb on sun. 1/16/11 and the replacement device per sprint is not coming anytime soon. They don't guarantee a new phone and said/claimed a refurbished was better because its gone through testing before its shipped. BS! Sprint does a great job of brainwashing their employees. Sprint had to get into the smartphone market sooner or later. This doesn't mean they are any good at it. So while I wait for my replacement device because the 4 g took a dump are they going to probate my cost of the 4g premium since they haven't provided me with any let alone a device that currently will support it, of course not. I give. Saving money over Verizon or ATT just isn't worth it anymore. You get what you pay for.
[Epic 4G General] klbjr:
I've also had my ups & downs with Sprint but overall I don't see leaving anytime soon. I too had to wait for long time when I broke my first Evo. Been waiting over a month now for my current replacement. So I feel your pain. Good thing is they sent me a brand new phone in the box with a new battery, charger & SD card. It was just like I walked out of the store after my original purchase. Only had to send out the broke phone so for $100 I got a new phone, 8GB SD card, new battery & charger. Not a bad exchange IMO.

you could start adb root, adb shell to edit the root filesystem ; ) with adb pull download to pc, with adb push upload the edited files, I'd suggest that, watch out to correct the permission as required with chmod.

Droid Explorer (PC file explorer for droid)

I've been using DroidExplorer with a moderate degree of success.

I use an antiquated laptop for most of my development work, running WinXPSP3 32-bit to interact with a Motorola Electrify (Photon's Brother from Another Mother). I'm rooted via Photon-Torpedo, stock ROM and, unfortunately, picked up the phone this week and currently stuck with a locked bootloader on 2.3.5.

DE isn't perfect - I've noticed some 100% CPU spikes after exiting the program and have to use task manager to kill it. Has not been a huge problem so I haven't worked on resolving it. Note that if you are having difficulties modifying files/directories (With this or any other tool) you may have to remount read/write via either ESFileExplorer (or another root explorer android app) or using other shell methods.

I think you can do much the same using WebSharing (Paid Version) but I haven't tried to modify any system files with it yet. Great app tho.

I'm a forum n00b here, if you want links to any of the above lemme know. Contact me if you find a better system.

When I change ROM how can I backup my dictionary with my added words? Titanium backup? What module? Thanks
[Desire HD General] vuedesprit:
well, after a fair play with my DHD android device and coming from HD2 winmo, yes i have a good impression with android, it's better in many cases, but fail in many other essential cases too. not speaking about any visual, gaming, or any specific app here, cause mainly android have the power in this area, but we are speaking about native and essential issues:

1-in a platform where you have the option to have 32 gb as sdcard, i guess u have the right to full this sd card with apps, documents, mp3, movies, images or whatever. instead, of that, if you install more than 100 apps on the sd card (knowing that the htc devices comes preloaded with a bloatware of 165 apps, i guess 100 apps is nothing here) the device have a chance to not load properly the sd card apps, or start to have a massive lag (happened a lot of times).

2-i have a 16 gb sdcard, and now i have 8 gb free, so used 50% of the sd card, and the device have lagging symptoms.

so basically android is functioning better with less files and apps, when winmo have no effect whatever i have on my sdcard, the system will never lag according to sd file system, or the system will not lag to death whatever apps are installed on the sd card.

3-folder browsing applications is better handeled in winmo, like image gallery browsing, music, videos, support the folder browsing option better than android.

4-for now, my test are based on built in video player and mvideo player, and i can say movies have better smooth play on winmo.

5-winmo connect to pc with one single way (active sync) and provide, syncing files, internnet passthrough, exploring the disk files. on the other hand, each time u want to make a job in android, u have to change the way it connects to pc (internet passthrough, or disk drive or sync files) winmo can do all at the same time.
[Desire HD General] MrYuiM:
1. You install all those apps on the SD Card and each time you start one its always running, no wonder you experience lag.

2.Same as no.1

3. My experience with winmo and everything to do with it was horrid, it was completely laggy and it was a clean wipe. Folder browsing was hideous and so was everything else.

4. Movies definitely play smoother on android, I couldn't even get a video file to save on winmo, nevermind play it.

5. Why is there the need to use the phone as a disk drive, charge it, internet passthrough?
[Desire HD General] ruchern:
Definitely not the case for me.
[Desire HD General] dvhttn:
To be honest I think your problem is just unfamiliarity with Android. After all, people get used to whatever they use everyday then, when they have to change, all you see at first is 'but this doesn't work like <insert old system here> ...'. ALL operating systems/phones/computers are ideal for someone but ALL of them have faults. As long as you can live with them then all is well. If it's a phone you have for 12/18/24 months the best situation is to make the most of the positives, rather than complain about all the negatives. Or sell it and get a new Winmo phone.

To topic, there's no way winmo do those things mentioned by original post better than android. My friend has Htc HD2, I sold it to him...lol Like someone said try learning the curve or sell the HDH.
[Desire HD General] vuedesprit:
most of the times peopels on board flame threads with opinions or sharing experiences. please try to undersntand that it's something to be discussed not flamed, and as i was expecting some negative replies, i also expect some positive and constructive discussions. and to go further, it's my third month with android, yes i'm new kind of, but fairly i have a good background in troubleshooting, developping, customizing... briefly i tried almost more than 1000 applications from marketplace (apps and games) i categorised and filters most of them, i also did select the best app in each field, and for those who said that 75 apps is a lot, let me tell you that it's just apps and not the games list, and 75 apps that are installed are very essential to be on the phone, and by the way all of them are on the phojne memory and i still have 750 mb for internal memory.

it's just that puttings more installed games on sd card may corrupt the start up of the apps, since android get dizzy loading bunch of them at starup, the thing that winmo dont have this prob, and saying that is not like saying i want to go back winmo, dont take it rude, but please stop acting like the guards on the (your favorite or your owned device) castle, things dont go like this.

in fact if you see that there is a solution, workaround, something to discuss or share, or even if you passed with this experience, please share it, that's what make the forum helpful and going forward.

yes guys i like android more than winmo (winmo is a dead OS anyway) and failed for long time, but for me i faced these problems in android, they maybe a problems for others, maybe not for you, and yes winmo handeled the above listed issues better than android, face it, so why not we discuss why it's better in winmo and how to enhace it (in workaround or developping something to fill the gap).

ex.: "why do i need to make the device as disk drive" cause it's helpfull to have the option of moving files btw device and pc, and browse it in astro or any other explorer at the same time, install apps, or preview images, no need to switch btw disk drive and htc sync or internet each time you need to do any task, for sure it's a better choise to have them all done at one selection sync.

why documents files (music, movies, images) on sdcard may slow the device, if you think it's a normal issue, and the device should start to lag normally if you have bunch of them, then let's ask why they gave us the freedom to have a 32 gb of sdcard (is it to fill it with only 4 gb in order to not lag the device) something wrong here, no? let's ask again, why winmo or iphone handle this issue better (mmm, is it something about handling file caching, file indexing, refreshing..) can we discuss it this way, can we try to figure it and maybe find a solution for now or wit for a android future solution (maybe honeycomb).

sorry if being harsh but please read well before a harsh replies and flame the post.

thank you for your understanding.
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
The limitations with the sd card you are talking about are not an android problem per se. It is a dual problem with device manufacturers failing to provide enough user accessible rom. The other prong is that developers design their apps to install straight to sd, to accommodate the aforementioned devices.

The dhd has no such limitation, 1gb is plenty for apps. I have 50 apps including some games, all have been moved to internal rom if not done so automatically. I don't get any lag at all.

Of course I can see how someone new to android may not know to move their apps off the sd and think their phone is laggy but this is an unfortunate side effect of Google offering manufacturers the freedom to run android on anything they wish.

[Desire HD General] FletchNZ:
Do you think the speed or "class" would have any effect on lag?

e.g. if you had lag on a class 2 card would you expect a class 6 to 10 to resolve this or would this have no effect.

Not that I have any lag problems at all, just curious :D

[Desire HD General] jeRrRKKKK:
point #5 is true but its not a major problem i guess

personally i feel that android is what winmo should have been

win7 is a disaster and it'll remain that way, they've tried too hard to copy apple and will never succeed being a copycat

but coming back to the topic, i guess that the fundamental problem with android is that its java based and as a java developer i know for certain that its a pain in the ass to develop applications on java... i can't forsee myself building a java game especially one that runs off 3D because the number of objects and classes will grow its complexity exponentially

on the iphone we have games like street fighter, winmo has prince of persia

i doubt we'll be seeing such complex games on android anytime soon
