[Epic 4G General] thsisinsanity:
Samsung will definitely be updating our phones to 2.3 SOON to take advantage of our (For now) useless gyroscope which is supported in android 2.3. It may have taken a while for 2.2, but seeing as they have most bugs worked out in that 2.3 should be a breeze.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
there's a gyro in the Epic ?

I certainly don't remember one being pointed out in the teardown the FCC posted...

can you elaborate ? pics ? reference/source ?

curiosity more than anything. :)

LOL at the rate things are going I won't even have official 2.2 on my Epic by Q2 2011.

Also, here:

http://blogs.computerworld.com/16420/samsung_galaxy_s

"The Samsung Galaxy S has both an accelerometer and a gyroscope (or a gyroscope thingie, if you want to use the technical term). Driven by a six-axis sensor, the tools are said to provide a smoother response to your tilting and panning, particularly during game play".

I think they are actually referring to the six-axis gyroscope as the accelerometer... but nevertheless, they say it has a gyroscope.

thanks for this :)

I just saw on g4tv's the feed that supposedly the epic 4g was getting android 2.3 idk if this was a typo as i checked on g4's website and there isnt anything that covers the story i will try and get a screenshot if i see it again, but wtf announcing gingerbread with no froyo thats messed up XD
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
I'd be all right with that if we got cookies instead of ice cream ;)
[Epic 4G General] Electrofreak:
It does have a gyroscope AND accelerometer. It was a selling point Samsung talked up at CTIA 2010 last March when the Galaxy S series was announced.

As for this whole Gingerbread thing, would it be too much to ask for some FM radio and TV-out support? ;)
[Epic 4G General] Quis89:
Didn't Samsung come out and say that wasn't true. Not saying we should believe everything they say...but I thought that was proven to be a false rumor.

But I would be nice if we were bumped straight to Gingerbread. Maybe that would change the thoughts of the tools crying about how they'll never buy Samsung again.
[Epic 4G General] bigray327:
It's posted here, so the only thing we know for sure is that it 100% isn't going to happen as reported.
[Epic 4G General] cschweitzer:
Really!? Does anyone for a second believe that US will ever have Gingerbread on Epic? Just because Samsung releases GB doesn't mean Sprint will. Samsung released 2.2 for Galaxy a long time ago and we are still sitting on our hands over here...Europe has been on 2.2 since November.

Who cares when Samsung gets it out, it matters when Sprint does...and knowing them it will never be available. Even if it would be, we won't know anything until it is on our phones as Sprint gives absolutely no clue as to when updates will occur.

I've been on DK28 since last year. I have found very few flaws/issues present. Of those issues, none seemed to be a major hold-up on release. Two months later and the developers taking care of this project still have nothing to give us.

Wake me when the conversation and/or rhetoric changes. Until then, I'll be hibernating on the Viper release, which although has a couple minor issues is 1000X's better than anything Sprint will ever give us!!!

I give up on Sprint and Samsung and will be going back to T-Mobile and HTC after this crazy fiasco is finally finished (yes, you don't have to tell me, I know that they are in the same boat as Sprint right now for this POS phone, but they never screwed me or withheld info from me when I was with them).

Man,i droped my speedy Tmobile connection for Sprints's "4G coming October 8th" promise,lol.Now its 2011 and im stuck with Sprint's ****y 3G(with 2G speeds).

Fck Sprint,im waiting for Vibrant 4G or some other Amoled phone for Tmobile to come out and use Roaming app to get out of Sprint's contract and go back to Tmobile.

I never been on Verizon but between sht Att and Sprint,Tmobile beats them both in data speed,service and price is almost the same(give or take $5-10).

Who needs Sprint without their 4G?

can someone give me .apk ? it will work ?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tony_C:
Open browser and put this in m.sonyericsson.com/backup

if not compatable with 2.2 you will need to flash back to the level you created

backup
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shindou26:
Not positive if it will work, but you can try this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=826849

Just download and unzip the file you need, in this case, backupandrestore.apk

Next, move it to your sdcard, and install using ASTRO or your choice of file manager.

Remember, I am not 100% positive if it will work on FreeX10 2.2 firmware.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glfpunk:
I've had a Vibrant since launch and basically am just fed up with it. Got my wife a MT4G for Xmas and it's a great phone. It just kept getting on my nerves as my phone constantly switched back and forth between edge and 3g in the house and hers was always on H. Also liked the Sense UI that it has. So I just ordered one.

So I had my old Vibrant rooted and flashed many roms on it but the process seems a bit different with the mytouch. Where should I start? Also which roms should I be looking at on here that still have versions of Sense installed. Not a huge fan of plain vanilla android. Also with the Vibrant I could flash different kernals by themselves over other roms, is that the case with the mytouch?

Thanks for the help.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] STHNS:
What you need sounds like Themed version of Ice Glacier, look under Dev section and find Ice Glacier v1.1.6 but download "Themed" version as opposed to regular.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmwils3:
well, first you need to root your phone, and Id recommend using the method found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834225

That's the method I used, and it worked like a charm for me.

Once you're rooted, then there are a lot of ROMs on the Development forum. If youre looking for sense, then Id say go with Iced Glacier (if you like the MySense found on the stock rom) or Evil's ports of the desire HD and Desire Z, as well as Gorilla's Desire HD port (if you like the Sense found on most other HTC phones). as for your kernel question, yes you can flash them over the ROMs, you dont have to use the one built into the ROM by any means. Just be careful that the kernel you flash is compatibile with your specific ROM, and follow all instructions completely. Hope all this helps :) as always, credits to the ROM and kernel creators, Im just an enthusiast trying to get the news out.
[G2 and Desire Z General] andersonjacob54:
Hey guys,

Is there a widget/app that will allow me to control my music from the lockscreen? Specifically, I want previous, pause, and forward controls. The rest of the screen should be occupied by the cover art as much as possible.

A good example of what I am looking for can be found using the default Music Player on HTC Sense. The only problem with the default player is that on the lockscreen the album art looks blurry (but not so in other apps). So esentially, I am looking for a replacement.

I am currently using PlayerPro but I want the album art to cover the whole screen which it does not do... (or as much as possible instead of being constrained in a square as it currently is).

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] daaango:
Winamp has a lockscreen player which looks like

dunno if thats what you're looking for or if thats exactly how PlayerPro does it (never tried it), but it suits me just fine :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] andersonjacob54:
Winamp looks promising, I'll try it out and let you know.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
DoubleTwist player gives you lockscreen music control.

CM6 (and Im assuming CM7) has simple previous track, play/pause, and next track buttons if you use the default music player.
[G2 and Desire Z General] MacaronyMax:
If you use a cynageon mod rom I think there is a setting in cmsettings to do so, aswell as (like you said) the htc sense one but also miui has good lockscreen controls ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] OsieKhan:
Check out poweramp. Really nice lock screen widget.
[G2 and Desire Z General] legendary1022:
Widgetlocker replaces your lockscreen and you can customize to your like. Its what I use and its pretty cool. Put some widgets or shortcuts on there for quick access from the lockscreen. Highly recommend.

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z General] andersonjacob54:
Well I'm looking for something that occupies the entire screen with album art (when locked) and still maintains a swipe to unlock feature. It's difficult to find this. The problem with WiidgetLocker is that I only want the music to appear on the lock screen when its playing (and not every time).

Or, if anyone knows how to make the default HTC Android Music player from displaying blurry/pixellated album art, let me know :)

[Vibrant General] isaac970:
is it me or is the vibrant better than the g2 by like a lot? i mean yeah the g2 has official froyo and all but i think that its pretty complicated on flashing stuff to the g2. i recently got it and on the first day i had it on a boot loop and it took me like 6 hours just to fix it and the funny thing is that after all the work fixing my semi brick i messed it up again trying to flash a gingervillian rom and i had to call tmobile for a replacement but then i fixed it so now im paying 20 bucks for expedited shipping and a replacement g2. anyways what im trying to say is that i think the vibrant is way better to do stuff with it like flashing roms and mods and all that. maybe its just me because ive had the vibrant for longer than the g2, where the g2 ive only had it for like two days already and i already managed to get traumatized by semi bricking it. and also i think the vibrant is way better because the 720p recording is better, the samoled screeen and awesome speaker and just more amazing. yeah i know i might sound like a vibrant fan boy but i honestly like my vibrant better the only reason i still have my g2 is because its keyboard but im sure im going to trade it for like a mytouch4g or something oh and may i add that the damn g2 is heavy. ugh. so thats just my opinion on that. no offence to the g2 owners, and im also not a noob to this stuff.
[Vibrant General] richiehd:
You probably won't find too many people who disagree with you in the Vibrant forum. :)

If you're gonna sell the G2, just keep the cash. You really don't need two phones. If you must have two phones, I'd wait to buy a dual core.
[Vibrant General] imitebewrong:
I sold my g2 for my Vibrant. And I have to say out of the box the g2 was better because everything worked. (mainly gps) but with the fixes and custom roms I am much happier with my vibrant as ccompared to the g2. Better display and wayyy lighter phone. And most reviews between the 2 will crown the vibrant ad the victor.
[Vibrant General] Dougefresh91:
I would trade my Vibrant for a G2 in a second. I want a hardware keyboard, better screen be damned.

I wouldn't do this, but I would trade it for a myTouch 4G. :) Hardware keyboards bother me, and it would suck to downgrade on screen quality, but I'd love to have CyanogenMod again...

Lol I went from vibrant to g2 and g2 to mytouxh 4g if you want deal with htc qc issue then ok. I sold my myotuch 4g and came back to vibrant.

G2-loose hinge(the phone wobbles even with keyboard closed),no glass its plastic screen, loose battery cover on some of em,dead pixel

Mytouch 4g replaced it 5 times due to qc issue examples? Washed out screen (1/2 is washed out screen and other half is not. It has batter contrast and all that)

Front facing off centered. You have to tilt your phone to get your face in the centered

Loose battery cover. Battery cover just moves like hell

Dead pixel on some of em

Lol i`ve been wanting to get a G2 For a while i got the Vibrant right now but its a big mess and...it feels cheap...if you dont want it you can always work out a deal with me =D
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
It feels cheap? Would you want a dent or a lowed price battery replacement. And some guys are making aluminum backcovers in the general section I think.
[Vibrant General] allthrottle:
The phone doesn't feel cheap. The mentality of "heavy = well built" has got to go. Yeah, the phone's light and mostly plastic. Most vehicles on the road now are 75% plastic as well. The difference is cars go 100+ mph and endure harsh conditions, while my phone sits in my pocket, desk or hand. I'd say plastic is sufficient for a phone.

Neither mine nor my wifes vibrant creak, squeak, feel loose, or have any other physical or mechanical flaws. We've both dropped ours multiple times on the pavement, both survived with minor scuffs each time. From what I understand though, the g2 has a loose hinge issue, and the mytouch has squeaky buttons. My wife is completely content with her stock 2.2 vibrant. She is the average consumer. I'm not. Mine is modified, and much more responsive than the stock g2 I owned for a short time, droid x I had for a day, and evo I play with everyday. Gps on the latest bionix is working as intended.

I don't think the vibrant is better than any of them (g2 in particular), but it isn't worse. It's personal opinion, they're both fast. If you prefer the features of one, or how one feels over the other, that's the one that's better for you. I prefer the vibrant.

[Vibrant General] isaac970:
right on @allthrottle i agree and i like the g2 now that i have a sense rom and i got a case for it so im not scared to have it around anymore and i got it cheap too, 10 bucks at tmo store, pretty weird accounting that tmo sells cases for like a lot like a gel skin case for the vibrant is like 20 i think. but yeah i got both phones and i like to play with the g2 more and i kind of use the vibrant as a music source i mean come on 16 gb is good for some music. the only thing i wish is that the g2 would of had a bigger screen i mean yeah i know that either you have the big display and no keyboard or the small display and a keyboard. honestly i dont use the keyboard as much on the g2. swype does its good on the phone and also i hate that the g2 isnt as bright as the vibrant. oh well i wonder if anyone else is like me with a vibrant and a g2...

Are they on the same network? Different networks have different apps available in the appstores, which might be it.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drowningchild:

The fastest/smoothest is the CM7 nightlies for me. Sense always seemed laggy to me. Plus ads ex is incredibly smooth even with screen animations & live wallpapers.

Also this should've been posted in general

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mosamjc:
They all perform exceedingly well given a particular set of needs and the right combination of software. For example, if a lean build with an nth degree of customization is important to you go with CM 6.1 or 7 (I would really recommend 7 at this point for the keyboard, speed, and enhanced copy / paste text selection). I would however lose the built in adw launcher for LPP or adw ex as it is as sluggish as sense. If you value HTC customizations, flash lite, FM radio and green led alerts, go with liberated FR. If you like the extra features but hate Sense and its lackluster performance, you can replace it with LPP or ADW ex and it will run just as well as CM on the smoothness front. Truth is with the overclock function both roms scream dsspite running on such modest hardware.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akira02rex:
Are you serious?? ADW ex is the slowest POS i've ever used. Launcher Pro FTW...

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GroovyGeek:
CM is pretty bare bones on the eye candy front, downright ugly. If you like interfaces written by programmers for programmers by all means get it. I have tried it and found it marginally faster than Sense but people who describe Sense as laggy are exaggerating. What swore me off CM is that despite the fact that you can customize pretty much anything you cannot turn off the annoying crawling ants animation on the home screen wallpaper. If you can live with that and the Spartan interface it is probably the best custom ROM for any Android device
