[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
wow you guys are seriously worst than iphone fan boys.

hmm, a retina display with better cpu/gpu, better app market, better front and back camera, and overall 10x better as hardware and software (minus the ****ty at&t network) or an old outdated cpu/gpu, with a pretty bad app market, and ****ty cameras.

hmm thats a hard one. If someone figures out a way to "unlock" it to work on sprint, im jumping it asap. Unless sprint has something up their sleeves like the motorola atrix, which i doubt.

Also i never said that people should switch to verizon. Hence why i posted:

"Would this make it possible for us to flash it for sprint?"

Also hence why i said "CDMA iphone" and not "verizon iphone"

lrn2read, and then comment.

[EVO 4G General] patelkedar91:
Yeah have you ever been to an Iphone forum? They act like the iphone is god's work and every other phone is just trying to copy.

I'm guessing you're comparing the Evo/Iphone.

The camera app actually has many more functions than an Iphone camera. From contrast/saturation/brightness levels to ISO levels, we have quite a bit of customization there. The camera is as good as the person using it.

We also have some camera replacement apps (as well as messaging app replacements and widget replacements and keyboard replacements... )

Retina display is all Steve Job's bs crap. No one cared about pixels until he mentioned it. Have you used a magnifying glass to read text on your phone and find all the pixels?

I'd rather have a bigger screened phone. I don't know how anyone can go from 4.3" to 3.5", lol. I can't even drop down to 4.0" for some of these new phones coming out.

Better cpu? Eh, snapdragon is fast enough on the CPU side.

GPU? Sucks...

But if you're comparing any of the newer phones such as the newer GPUs by HTC and the Galaxy line by Samsung, then it beats the iphone.

App market? We have SOOOO many more free apps... period. I rarely buy apps. The App store is filled with soooo many 99c crapps. Until recently, they have been getting priority with companies. Nowadays, many new apps are built for android/iphone both simply because of the marketshare.

Though I do commend Apple on keeping their product line so simple... they can create the thinnest phone with the biggest battery and everyone buys it.

Other companies need to learn from that. HTC pumps out new phones like no other. Phones get lost with all these random names like Desire, Eris, Incredible, Hero, Evo... not to techies, but to regular users.

Woooah rant. Fed troll. :/
[EVO 4G General] backdown:
The retina display is so much clearer than super amoled, or any other android screen on the market (right now)

The iphone is so much snappier than my evo, even with me running CM6. Everything on the iphone is faster. One thing i really noticed was how fast photos upload. In order for me to look at my pictures on my sd card, it takes 10 seconds to see one photo (might be exaggerated by a couple of seconds), but on the iphone you click on gallery, and the photos are there.

The app store on mac products also has apps for basically everything. Android is finally catching up..and im proud of them. However, it will take a while before they have the amount of apps that are as good as iphone. I would rather pay 99 cents for an app than not have an option for it at all.
[EVO 4G General] znewman99:
My opinion is that a iPhone is a toy its a ipod touch really with more specs I'd rather have a phone that looks different from. Every apple product all there touch products look the same

To me that's my opinion
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob77:
Dont know if anyone else has noticed this but has happened to me a couple of times now. If I start up an app that uses gps i.e speed test then when I quit out of the app the gps symbol remains in the notification bar flashing. I dont know how to get rid of it and have to reboot my phone. Any ideas guys?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ceres66:
Is it possible that your app is still running in the background even after you quit? Some apps do that.May explain why gps is still running.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob77:
Hi. Yeah thats a possibility and have been thinking it through. Take for instance speed test, it has no exit key so you have to quit out of it by either clicking back or home. Maybe that is where the bug lies and its nothing to do with my nexus.

One other question I have if you could help me out is about multitasking. Say if I hit the home button when an app is running it still runs in the background. How long does it do this for with out resorting to using an task killer or similar?

Cheers
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
This problem is not unique to the Nexus S. I actually haven't seen it on the NS (yet), but I see it routinely on my SGS i9000.

You should be able to easily get rid of it by just turning on and off the GPS with the Power Control Widget. No need to reboot. Turning on and off Location Services in Settings screens for the phone should also do it for you.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob77:
Thanks ill try turning it off using the location settings next time it happens. I did try with the widget but when i turned it back on it returned and was still there.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ceres66:
From my VERY limited experience, some apps stop running as soon as you press home screen (e.g. website/forum apps), some you need to specifically exit the app (if there is an exit option), and then there are others that stay running until you force stop it. Seems like it depends on the design (or mis-design) of the app.

You can view what apps are still currently running under Manage Apps. You can also manually stop those processes there if need be.

Hope this helps.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob77:
Thanks. I've tried looking under manage apps/running apps before but the task I think the gps bug is coming from is never listed in there. Infact not a great deal gets listed in the standard gingerbread applications settings. Games that I know are still running in the background dont get listed either for some reason.

Just received a Fellowes Folding Keyboard from eBay. Only paid $16.99! In any case, for anyone who owned a Palm Pilot back in the day, you'll remember this cool keyboard design. It is basically in four sections that fold up like an accordion when stored. Just search for one on eBay or Amazon to see a picture.

Not only is it plug and play on Vegan 5.1, but the Windows button works as a Menu key, Home = Home page, and End = Sleep mode. As much as I like the Thumb Keyboard app, nothing beats a real, full-sized keyboard when you need to write a long email. Some of the small Bluetooth keyboards others have mentioned don't seem like they would be much better than Thumb Keyboard.

With this new keyboard, the laptop is likely to be in hibernation that much more!
[G Tablet Accessories] aasoror:
mind sharing a link ?

ebay search for "Fellowes Folding Keyboard" didn't bring up anything, the cheapest real folding ones like you described is selling on ebay for more than twice as much.
[G Tablet Accessories] festivus:

[G Tablet Accessories] festivus:
I looked at those flexible keyboards too, but I wonder how well you can type on them. The good thing about the Fellowes keyboard is that it is full sized with a decent "touch". I assume that the flexible ones don't have any key travel to speak of, so they could be either too sensitive or not sensitive enough.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gimbulate:
I have searched high and low for the answer to this but only found 2 others with the same unresolved issue.

I got a Sandisk 32gb Micro SD card today. I put it in my phone and formatted it. It was all well and good until I wanted to put files on it.

Firstly, and most importantly for me, I cannot copy music onto the card properly. When I put music on I get one of two messages: either 'file type not supported' or 'file does not exist' - either of these messages will come up when a file is selected via the media player (I use winamp but have tried in the stock player and TuneWiki).

In terms of transferring files to the external SD I have tried:

- Copy/pasting from my PCs music folder

- Copy/pasting into the internal SD music folder from my PCs music folder (the internal accepts and plays files fine), then pasting them from the internal to the external

(I have also tried dragging and dropping)

- Loading them via winamp. (When I do this method it says that all files are transferred but when I unplug there is only a few files (out of the tens, hundreds or thousands I have tried to put on in any given time. Some files play but it dumps most into an 'Unknown Artist' folder and refuses to play them giving the prior mentioned error messages. Most of the files seem to be dumped in a directory on the SD card call 'LOST.DIR'. The files are given a numeric name and are an unknown file format.

- All methods I have tried have put a majority of files in the 'LOST.DIR' folder and the 'Unknown Artist' folder. Also, all methods tried have shown everything to be a success (i.e. all files showing up nicely in their respective folders, winamp shows 100% sync success), it is only when I disconnect my phone and check on it does it show how awry it has all gone. When I plug my phone back in the mess is then represented on my PC too. -

It seems to be very slightly more reliable when files are done in small chunks. In winamp if I copy a few files over, disconnect phone, re-connect phone and carry on it works a bit better but still drops most files.

My second issue (which is likely related) is trying to play ROMs from the SD card. I copied some PSX games and their save states to the external SD and opened them up. They appear to open but it just displays a black screen. I can load the games but they will ONLY play if I load up a save from when I was playing from the internal SD card. If I try to load up a new game that I haven't played before I am just stuck at the black screen. The app itself is running fine, or so it seems, I can still access and mess about in the menus.

I have not tried my GBA, SNES or Genesis emulators yet as when I tried to copy the ROMs over they just disappeared into the 'LOST.DIR' folder, I'll have to redeem those from my PC.

I have also tried to go via Kies for all of this but it will not acknowledge my phone. My phone is rooted, not sure if that matters to Kies.

I'm sorry if that is all a bit awkward to read, I find it difficult to explain. If you need any more info just ask :) Please help me! I've been at this all day!

Thanks guys :D.

Smells like fake card .

Ebay purchase ??? Honk Kong ???

Test the sd card in a sd card reader .

Fill it up with data it should take at least 28 GB

Long time to write data could be fake .

Try the Sandisk checking tools from the web site .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gimbulate:
Tried a different card. Only tried using music files but it worked which leads me to think that everything else will work too. So it seems you are right: fake card.

Thanks for your help man. I'll go and try to get a refund from that Hong Kong eBay seller, haha ;).

EDIT: Although. I uninstalled psx4droid because it wouldn't run my ROMs properly and then re-installed it. The sound is really crackly now, I know some other people have that issue but I never did. Also, my phone crashed twice this morning so I have to take the battery out, it has never done that before. Can fake cards mess your **** up?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagb1967:
OK If it is failing and you can still reboot into the old rom?

It really looks like a bad download. Delete the JL5 and download again

IF you can boot ok to 2.1, then load the tar file in PDA no pit file necessary, and do not check repartition

If you cannot boot up anymore. Look in development or in the bible the shipping rom

Odin the shipping rom, load the pit file, load the tar in PDA and check repartition.

After that is fine and boots, you can try with the new downloaded jl5

My evo does great on battery when I'm on wifi but bad on 3g like I'm at 50% on 5 hrs of mostly sitting in my pocket. I'm on cyanogen6 with clockwork. Any suggestions? New to this btw
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SouthernEvo:
3G radio is known to be a battery hog . For starters how is your signal strength ? If you are in a weak area 3G is gonna be searching harder to find better signal . It also will prefer sprint towers till its forced to roam on Verizon towers . Do you have alot of things sync'ing ? Did you recently flash this rom ? If so (not familar with C6) did you do a profile update and prl update after flashing ? What is your radio baseband , Pri and Software version . More information is needed before anyone on the forums can possibly point you in the correct direction in terms of trouble shooting .
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] appealingrelic:
Hardware version 004 Baseband is 2.15.00.11.19 and I am running cm6.1.2 and whatever kernal it comes with. Can't do the profile and prl updates unless its been moved in cm6 because its not in the menu like on stock. Just switched a couple days ago to cm6 from myns two point two. Battery life is horrible on both roms unless I turn off data. I'm certain this can't be right. I drop one percent every 10 min that data is on. Need more info let me know. I'm not dumb just confused and new to this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidGnome:
The most likely reason is simply signal strength. 3G radio is constantly searching for a better signal, and if your signal is low, your probably bouncing around between multiple towers. My phone was doing that all the time when I was home. (1-2 bars inside my home).

I recently got an AirRave from sprint, it's a Fem2Cell device that uses my broadband internet to 'boost' the signal when in my home. (Very untechnical explaination there), but the result is I have 5 bars always. After 12 hours my battery went from full to 74% which is a huge improvement over the old previous level of '0%' hah. This is pure 'idle' time, I slept most of that 12h hours.

You can see your signal strength easily using this free little app:

My milestone(Telus; BL 90.74) is pretty much bricked. I tried to do this, but like with everything else I do modding wise I failed horribly. It got to the point to where whenever I tried turning on my phone, it would stay frozen on the M logo. I've wasted my entire day searching from blogs to forums to videos trying to fix this but nothing worked. And now my phone won't even turn on unless I access the bootloader menu.

I know I have to reflash the sbf file, but the thing is my computer no longer detects my phone since the disaster. I'm really frustrated and stressed because of this. I thought doing a factory reset would do something but now all of my data on the phone is gone for nothing.
