[EVO 4G Accessories] skylar.sutton:
I have this dock (got mine off eBay). I don't have a cover and it fits nice and snug. It's actually an iPhone 4 / EVO mount, so don't be surprised if the box is labeled as such.

It does not have built in USB charging (no biggie, buy a cable) and will not be recognized by the phone as a "car dock". For me this was a non-issue, I just devoted one of my home screens to car apps (Google Maps, Trapster, etc.)
[EVO 4G Accessories] ben dover:
wow! for $5 I'll give it a try! I've been wanting one of these for a while but wasn't going to spend the money on sprint's car dock!
[EVO 4G Accessories] SilverStone641:
Just ordered one. thanks for the link!! i've been looking for a car mount and this deal is greatness. thank you!
[EVO 4G Accessories] ben dover:
just ordered mine too! this baby will go right where my gps was. gotta love google nav! :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] tutruong89:
This probably won't work with the otterbox commuter case right?
[EVO 4G Accessories] DoctorComrade:
Good question. Using the commuter case too.
[EVO 4G Accessories] 4redstars:
just looking at the case I highly doubt it. That is one thing I've never been a fan of cases for...but for 5 dollars and free shipping how could you go wrong!
[EVO 4G Accessories] EVOJunckie:
Just ordered mine.

Just received my order confirmation today. Looks like they are shipping it from Singapore and state that it might take 2-3 weeks.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bl8zn:
I dont have this mount but just looking at the design...this will scratch your phone for sure..just my .02
[EVO 4G Accessories] dmcgrath009:
Ill give one a shot before I order the one from Sprint off eBay its going for around $40 -$45.
[EVO 4G Accessories] SilverStone641:
I agree with you. plus i'm rockin' the OB Defender. I figure for $5, it'll give me a working platform and i can fabricate something better(read: JBWeld) :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] kingakuma:
This mount is garbage you have to be EXTREMELY CAREFUL when taking the phone out of the Mount the two clips are very fragile and will break VERY easily.

also adjusting the car dock takes a little bit to get it right where you want it, also make sure to clean the suction cup with alcohol prior to use to get all the gunk off of it so it doesn't fall off the windshield when it warms up.

My first one broke so i called and complained they sent another one so i gave it away and bought the HTC Car dock, and haven't had one problem with it yet.
[EVO 4G Accessories] JimSmith94:
You called Singapore from California over a $5 part? :confused:
[EVO 4G Accessories] busyychild:
I ordered the same one, but it has a vent mount instead of a suction cup. The mount holds the phone perfectly. It does not scratch or marr the phone at all. Only bummer with the vent mount is that it isnt adjustable. Its just straight out. Im working on modifying it so I can tilt the phone towards me while its mounted.

Here is a picture and link to it on ebay. Super cheap! Took a few weeks to arrive though.

[EVO 4G Accessories] Shidell:
My car dock has the same "clip" portion, but a different suction base--but generally I'm extremely pleased with it. It was $5 shipped as well, took about 3 weeks to arrive, and has held up for the last five months or so perfectly.

I actually wrote an app for the market to get "dock" functionality out of car docks that don't actually cause a phone to "dock"; if you're interested it's called "Car Kit" in the market.

With the cheap dock and the app, my phone automatically does everything I want in the car just like the hella expensive official docks. No way I'm spending $50 on what less than $10 can do just as well. :cool:
[EVO 4G Accessories] JUST2SUAVE:
Ha ha ha
[EVO 4G Accessories] kingakuma:
i had that damn thing for a week at most before it broke so hell yeah i called.

i mean come on you wait almost a month to get it then it breaks days later that's BS
[EVO 4G Accessories] ben dover:
just got mine in the mail today! only thing that stands out right away is that you have to be careful putting in and taking out your evo. other than that, this thing is perfect for what I need and at $5 you can't go wrong!

I'm going to try it out tomorrow but with all the snow and ice moving through the midwest tonight I'll have my eyes glued to the road!
[EVO 4G Accessories] SilverStone641:
It's good to see these things are actually shipping. i'm STILL waiting on mine. I ordered parts for my ecig from Cyprus and even it beat the car dock here. wth?!:rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Accessories] He123321:
I still have the one that mounts on the vents, and I only used it once. It scratched my Evo's 2 bottom corners bad, so you get what you paid for :o
[EVO 4G Accessories] bionic1ball:
dang 2-3 weeks but its pretty cheap for this price XD
[EVO 4G Accessories] blane73:
Does anyone know if this will work with a thin type case?

[EVO 4G Accessories] marcosowns:
I received mine last week. It definitely doesn't fit the phone perfectly, but if you're careful when placing it in it shouldn't scratch any of the phone (although by the time you figure it out you may have already scratched the phone which was what happened to me). I only use it for long trips so I'm not worried about the hassle of installing and removing the phone from it. You can't beat this for $5.
[EVO 4G Accessories] JUST2SUAVE:

[EVO 4G Accessories] 4redstars:
yes things do take a long time from Meritline but who cares! Where else could you buy a breathalyzer for 5 bucks!
[EVO 4G Accessories] sitlet:
For those that have this already, how secure does it stay to the windshield?

I bought this one a few months ago:

http://www.meritline.com/ipod-windshield-mount-holder-310---p-25988.aspx

Very flexible as far as fitting the phone, and soft rubber so it doesnt scratch. The BIG problem with it, is it NEVER stays mounted to the windshield. Even if i wet it first, it will stick for a while, but any big bump in the road, it falls right off. I dont use it anymore as I'm worried one of these times the evo will hit something and crack the screen.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Pokeemonn:
Anyone that has this mount know if the camera can be functional when docked? I ordered it regardless but I see the hole cut out so it would be nice for recording track runs in my car. TIA

Good Find!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fchipm:
The past two mornings I have awakened to find my phone has "no service" and an X over the signal bars. Putting the phone into airplane mode doesn't work - I have to restart to regain my connection. I'm on modaco. Anyone else experience this?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johoja:
Yup, I have the same problem.

I believe its because the phone reboots randomly ( known bug ) and when it reboots I've noticed that for some reason it always stays in emergency mode :(...hope these bugs get resolved soon.

I'm on CM7.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gteh:
Hi,

I have an I897 from at&t but I'm in canada on rogers. Rogers came out with official 2.2 yesterday.

When I try to update using samsung kies it tells me my device uss not supported. Rogers model is I896.

Is there a way to trick kies so I can get the official rogers 2.2?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GGXtreme:
Does your phone have a software update option in the settings menu? The AT&T Captivate does (not that it does anything for us :o).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gteh:
Ya it does but using it tries to connect to at & t server.

I installed the leaked 2.2 but it's also an at&t flavor.

Trying to find a way to get the official rogers version
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdza92:
Im looking at doing the same thing too, the question I have is if I use Odin to flash back to My original will that Lock my phone again?

I would like to flash back to my original rom then to Rogers Froyo, but My phone is unlocked and I dont want to Lock it again. ANY Suggestions on how to do this?

PLEASE?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickysa2000:
try editing the /System/build.prop to show I896.. Should work
[Galaxy S I9000 General] napster_doom:
I just saw it on Pocketnow website.Unfortunately, this update is not for all the SGS users, it is only applicable to unlocked versions of the Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000.

Here is a link for more details,

http://pocketnow.com/android/samsung-galaxy-s-221-update
[Galaxy S I9000 General] silverstorm:
PocketNow are a bit late to the party. We've had JPX and official JPY through Kies for about a month in the UK and they're acting like this is breaking news... unless it's another 2.2.1 rom with a number after the two letters, e.g. JP9.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Sysiphus1981:
offical is the word and all sgs, not only uk and not with kieshack
[Epic 4G General] dwd3885:
I know, I may be crazy but I'm thinking about swapping my EVO for an Epic 4G now. It'd be an even swap, so I wouldn't have to pay or anything. I know other Galaxy phones are going to come out, and maybe even soon, but I'd imagine they would cost more with no contract and my upgrade isn't due until August anyway.

I take a lot of photos and videos on my phone and I've come to realize that the EVO just doesn't do a great job of videos, it's Ok when it comes to photos.

So I have a few questions. Is the leaked froyo update good enough to run as a ROM with EVERYTHING working? Being on EVO 2.2 since August, pretty much can't go back to 2.1. Do you think Samsung will release 2.2 officially soon? And how is the camera for stills and videos?
[Epic 4G General] wjsmaggle:
While I can't comment on if official froyo is coming soon I can say that the current dk28 leaks are stable daily drivers. I've run all of the froyo leaks and this is much more stable and easily a daily driver. You would have no issues immediately going to froyo. The epic is a great phone and I don't think you'll be disappointed.
[Epic 4G General] ericizzy1:
yes, yes, and the camera is better than the evo. you will be addicted to the screen and the speed too. i know, had both. enjoy
[Epic 4G General] nikon120:
Epic specs

EVO specs

So I'm not entirely understanding your comment about picture quality. 8 megapixels vs. 5 megapixels. One would assume 8 wins over 5 in this situation.
[Epic 4G General] smooney3:
Who knows when the official froyo update will come, but DK28 worked well for me so I'm not too worried about it. No problems at all. I think the camera is excellent for a phone. A few sites have threads full of examples, like this one: http://forum.androidcentral.com/sprint-epic-4g/32332-epic-photography.html The video is good enough to replace my little HD digital camcorder. It's obviously not going to be as good as a real HD camcorder, but it's more than adequete for home movies and whatnot.
[Epic 4G General] v3rk:
picture quality is more about the lens than megapixels. i don't know what it is about htc's cameras but they all pretty much suck. i haven't seen a phone take better pictures than the epic does
[Epic 4G General] rocket321:
I recently jumped from the Evo to the Epic as well and am glad I did. It will be at least summer before any new "super phones" appear on Sprint (my guess) and you will be much happier with the Epic's speed while you wait for your next phone.

Epic beats the Evo in every way except GPS which is usable but slower/less accurate on Epic.

Edit: I found the Epic's camera to be better than the Evo - make sure you go into the settings and turn on "anti-shake" right away as it helps a lot.
[Epic 4G General] ericizzy1:
well, just do what i did, me and my buddy(with evo) sent 3 pictures we took from the same street we were on , to a email, then compared them right next to each other(he was skeptical like you), believe me when i tell you that the epic was better. try it
[Epic 4G General] smooney3:
Yeah, megapixels don't really say much about the quality of the photos. It's good for marketing, though. ;)
[Epic 4G General] takethat365:
One would Assume that because 8mp is a bigger # then 5mp its automatically better right? Wrong, and that's why i don't just assume things, i have 2 see them both 4 myself... The Epic camera takes better quality photos then the EVO Period.

I am by no means a photographer but this is a picture taken by me on a hunting trip this past October in Arizona, Note the quality of THIS 5mp Camera
[Epic 4G General] dwd3885:
i think i will have the epic for a day or so before i get rid of the EVO, so I do plan on doing this.
[Epic 4G General] tt c6:
I am in a similar position.

I am STILL using a TP2, and was waiting for the Shift 4G's release to make a decision.

I don't know whether to let my company both activate a line and buy an Epic for me now.

Or, continue paying for my personal TP2 bill

out of my own pocket

and wait for the new dual cores before accepting the line and phone from my company.

Any advice ???
[Epic 4G General] boborone:
Compare a kodak 8 mp to a nikon 5 mp and you'll see why higher mp are not an indication of a better camera.

From a phone
[Epic 4G General] ghostrid3r:
Epic uses a cmos sensor similar or same as on Iphone 4. Also known to have better video and picture image quality than EVO, especially under low light conditions which EVO's sensor struggles at.

Article - http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/S...DROID-X---the-camera-comparison_id2532/page/7

Video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGKdgTuhpS0

Not trying to be a fanboy but Iphone 4's camera and screen are the kings ATM and the 5mp vs. 8mp debate is irrelevant.

FYI... with the upcoming release of HTC Swift, Epic just dropped -$50.

[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
Wow, your lack of knowledge is clearly evident here just by seeing you point to megapixels vs quality of sensor (no offense :o ). Anyone who knows both the Evo and Epic will tell you that the Epic's 5MP sensor takes BETTER pictures than the Evo's 8MP sensor.

Has little to do with teh megapizzellss but rather the quality of the sensor. Also anyone who knows about cameras will tell you the same as well.
[Epic 4G General] gokuman56:
Get the Epic

I just replaced my EVO with an Epic and have never been happier.

The Screen just feels awesome and the keyboard is wicked.

It also is wayyy faster but I will say one thing. Coming from the Evo, the Epic and Evo have the same Camera quality. Epic FFC wins because it performs better in low light conditions, but the rear camera quality is about the same.
[Epic 4G General] running_the_dream:
From what I've read online in comparison tests, the Evo pics are rated lower than the Epic. I don't remember but I think the Epic uses better hardware
[Epic 4G General] gokuman56:
Well you may be right, but from my personal point of view..... their cameras' are the same
[Epic 4G General] TheWacco:
To add on to others comments about camera quality if your camera has a crappy white balance etc. it just doesn't matter. Megapixels only matter anyway if you intend to make large prints or do some serious editing both of which I doubt you would use an phone to take pictures for.

My point is sensor quality more important than snazzy numbers.
[Epic 4G General] gokuman56:
I agree Megapixels don't matter at all. And if you still havent gotten the epic,

I recommend that you do, you wont regret it ;)
[Epic 4G General] brizzle1986:

Wait until Feb 11th for the major announcement. Its a new samsung phone "Worlds Slimmest" as they call it. My sister read it out of the Sprint Playbook. She works there
[Epic 4G General] dwd3885:
i think the still photos may be similar, but what about video? One thing I've noticed from youtube videos is that the audio on video recordings seems MUCH better on the Epic.
[Epic 4G General] boominz28:
the video is awesome, sometimes i have an issue where when you start recording the audio starts late , but that could be just me not sure

i was thinking the same thing..i was at radioshack..looking at the shift and the epic..im still with in my 30 days with my evo. i get tired of phones easily lol was thinking of getting the epic cause of the keyboard..but not sure since its still on 2.1 when the samsung transform already got froyo lmao. and samsung sucks ****.
[Epic 4G General] zman519:
The camera on the Epic is grate! yes its 5mp but it takes better shots than a 10MP Nikon point and shot camera my GF has. Yes the Nikon is a few years old but being that its 10MP x2 the Epics camera you would think the Nikon would blow the Epic out of thw water buts its the other way arond.

Take it from me... as someone with a big eye for photography, here are the results. MP means nothing.. I had a konica minolta maxxum 7d slr and that thing too pics you couldn't distinguish from much higher MP cameras.

That said, evo is king of still foto. No if ands or buts.

Epic comes in second, with hero not far behind.

Still foto quality:

Htc evo > epic

Epic > htc hero [sometimes]

Video recording quality:

Epic > htc evo

Epic > htc hero

Anyone thinks they can battle me on that I'll shoot ya down with proof.

Hero

Android is garbage. Wait for the new windows 7 phone to hit Sprint.
[Epic 4G General] humdrum2009:
The epic is set to take off.

The Dev team has made a big giant step last night with the epic.

basically gingerbread is coming along quickly.

We will have cm7 on the epic before too long and it will outperform the evo.

The EVO is a nice phone so is the epic.

The EVO has tons of support from the community

The EPIC has better hardware.

The epic is a multimedia juggernaut capable of playing most videos just dragged to the SD card.

Its all about personal preference.

go to a store look at both and se in person for yourself

PS the epic is easier to root by a great deal lol.
[Epic 4G General] Dj21o:
I've had a hero and now the epic. I root both of them, and I thought this phone would be 10 times better, its not. The speaker crackles, txt messages don't go out, calls drop and don't work half of the time dialing out, and the physical keyboard misses. I would not recommend this piece of **** to anyone.

Overall, wait for Microsoft to do something google can't. And the system updates are to say the least, annoying. We were supposed to get 2.2 months ago and were still on 2.1. My hero had 2.2. So now that I've wasted money and effort to fix this phone, I will NEVER buy a Google phone again.
[Epic 4G General] boominz28:
then why are in here , there are plenty of people that you could probably trade your phone in with on craigslist for a winmo. if you dont like it get rid of it.

[Epic 4G General] dwd3885:
Ok, thanks for the comments. I'm trying out the Epic now and the camcorder is definitely better than EVO. Audio recording is miles ahead. I would call it comparable to iPhone 4 video quality.

I like it a lot. Having trouble with some custom ROMs and losing all my apps, so I'm gonna try this again.

[Epic 4G General] boominz28:
no need for hostilitys , not our fault you cant take it to sprint and have them replace it again. make sure they give you a new one not a refurb.
[Epic 4G General] dwd3885:
Thanks for trolling my thread. Not interested in Windows Phone 7. I LOVE Android. Just deciding between Epic or EVO.
[Epic 4G General] boominz28:
make the same mistake you did , your the only one ive seen that has a speaker and keyboard issue like you say, sounds like you just got some lemons , get them replaced. ive not had one issue with my phone.

i am wondering if its possible to do a full install of windows 7 on a viewsonic g tablet
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Hi,

I don't think so :)... All Windows versions, including Windows 7 are X86 code. The Gtab is using ARM CPU.

MS recently announced that their "next" Windows is suppose to be able to run on ARM, but that's a ways away (years?)...

Probably this thread is in the wrong forum, BTW...

Jim
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Correct - the only Windows 7 tablets out there are x86 based. The closest thing that could work would be Windows CE, but there's really no point in bothering with that. Ubuntu or some other Linux distro would be a better solution, right now (and already being worked on).

A little bit of history - the earliest versions of Windows NT actually ran on several different types of CPU's. Over time, MS scaled back until only x86 was supported.
[G Tablet General] Pazzu510:
damn. My school is a ***** and told me that they would only give internet if i had a windows device. Now i have to spoof my mack address every time(because i have my laptop registered) with my laptop mac address to acces the wifi.

If there is any chance to install any distro of windows(as /&%#€~¬ slowly as it can run) please tell me to have legal and easy internet connection at my school.
[G Tablet General] MediocreNinja:
Hey, bumping this thread because of CES update I watched. From what I heard, when they showed the new version of Windows (don't get excited, they just showed some technical features, nothing big) they said that it would be able to run on ARM platforms, and actually showed it running on one. Do you think this would therefore work on the g-tab? Discuss?
[G Tablet General] The Old One:
Yes the upcoming Windows 8 could in theory work on the G-tab but until it's out and we have more info on it we don't know
[G Tablet General] tgpqaz:
Putting an ARM version of windows 8 on the gtab sounds plausible with Ubuntu working on it. The only problem I see is the gtabs 512 MB of ram when the minimum of vista and 7 is a gb. Maybe they'll scale it back for a win 8 tab edition but i doubt it.
