[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cveez11:
I bought an extra battery with a stand alone charger that charges the battery by itself. So, if i am going to be away for an extra long time, i just bring the extra charged battery. that being said, i easily get about 14 to 18 hours with moderate use out of my battery.

Aside from knowing that it's similar to jailbreaking, I have no idea what flashing roms is
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybereclipse:
Yeah I'd go ahead and do it...I was a hardcore iOS user (I've owned all 4 iphones) and I jailbroke and unlocked all of em (up til 4.1). I am rooted and since I don't like the sense ui too much, I installed the gingerbread launcher and I love how my phone performs right now. I was running EDGE only on my iPhone with TMO, but I love how the MYT4G has native tethering and the overall android os :D

Flashing ROMS is very different from the iOS world, ROMS basically contain the entire OS and you can flash custom versions of the Android OS on your phone.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thephoneguyusa:
Mytouch 4G all the way! I had a vibrant but you have to root that thing and install a lagfix just to make it run right. I have had no battery issues with mine but I do have juicedefender and I have sense rooted and am running cyanogenmod 7 build #13 and I get amazing battery life. I can go all day with heavy useage and still have 20% come 9pm.

The only thing I miss about my vibrant is the screen.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybereclipse:
That's the only thing I hear people miss lol
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnson8cyl:
This is nothing like jailbreaking. No cracked apps or cydia like crap. A custom rom is a developers custom version of the android os. U can change how your phone looks and operates in every way any time u want. Look at it like updating whenever u feel like it. And being able to tell your processor how fast or slow to run. Not to mention like someone said before-getting away from the sense ui.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybereclipse:
Jailbreaking has nothing to do with running cracked apps, those two are completely different. Jailbreaking allows you to make modifications to iOS device to theme it, change your animations, processor clock speed, run third-party apps, etc. It sort of like flashing ROMS, but instead of flashing the Read Only memory of the phone to run a customized OS, you're just making modifications to the existing one
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bballcat03:
What's so big about the Vibrants screen? The only thing I liked was how the TMO rep pulled out his car key and began to BTHO the screen and it didn't even faze it, "gorilla screen" or something he called it.

Interesting on flashing. I've been trying to read up on everything in the MT4G sections, but it's all still "foreign" to me pretty much.

I did notice one thing that I didn't do when I had my MT4G for a day...somewhere on here I read you're supposed to charge it to full, and then run it to dead and then charge it back up again in order to gain full/optimum battery life. I did the first part...but not the "run it till dead and charge it back up" part...any truth to this as to being a possible cause to my sh**** battery life I experienced?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybereclipse:
no that just makes a difference on the battery in the long run. The MYT4G has the gorilla glass too, the only difference is that Samsung has their AMOLED screen which looks amazing.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marseillesw:
I've read this whole post and still need some help. I'm still kinda new to the whole Modding seen, but I've rooted and flash the cyanmod 7 onto my mytouch 4g (which I love by the way) but I am having serious battery issues. When the screen is on its fine, but when I put the screen to sleep is when my battery pours out like water. I've disabled background data, installed adfree, and switched to edge, but nothing seems to work. I go into settings and check battery usage and system standby is still higher than anything else...does anyone have any suggestions?

Welcome to the HTC Glacier! I don't think I've ever loved a phone like this one. Crap, I said "love."

I highly recommend you start using the search function in the forum - you are about to find some serious shhh!t regarding why your battery is draining when the screen is off. Like this thread...

After I bricked my first mt4g I went to the tmo store to receive a new one. There was a vibrant 4g on display and it was on. It had the water live wallpaper, the one that has the leafs floating on top and reacts to touch and the water ripples. I turn on my mt4g and added the same wall paper and put both phone to full brightness. I couldn't tell any difference in screen quality. They both looked great to me. Exact same.

[Captivate General] xThe Enforcer:
Blah, so tired of seeing the GPS threads being posted everywhere?

It's getting so old, almost as bad as, "My phone bricked because I unplugged the USB or the battery fell out"... To me those types of people don't deserve true help. If people took the time to read and follow tutorials to the tee they would have no issues.

Same goes for GPS. We all know it can be a number of reasons why... Just try different kernels/roms/modems/etc/whatever! Granted there are occasionally those unlucky Captivate users who get a stock Captivate and the GPS doesn't work but if they troubleshooted from the start and nothing worked they would realize that 99% of the places would simply give you a replacement.

Anyone else agree?

</rant>
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
No. I shouldn't have to go scouring the internet for fixes, voiding my warranty and wasting my time trying to fix something that should work out of the box. Maybe you're OK with letting the manufacturer off the hook for building a POS product, but the rest of us "whiners" think we have every right to expect that a device sold with certain features should actually have those features working.
[Captivate General] opcow:
Of course. Obviously the bad GPS thing is just a conspiracy. Besides, expecting it to work out of the box is asking a bit much. It's up to the buyer to search the internet for the right firmware taken from some other device to make his phone work almost ok. All this coddling and hand holding makes me want puke.
[Captivate General] shiftylock:
So instead of going to the manufacturer to get it fixed, you bombard a forum of people who want to move forward with their phones, instead of answering the same question and posting the same links over and over again?

No offense, but I agree, enough of the obnoxious "mah gps sux" threads.

Tell it to samsung if it really bothers you.

/troll
[Captivate General] sclRanger:
Where are all the "my gps sux" treads you are talking about? I just went through a few pages of this forum and can't find them. There where I think 3 "gps" treads i came across from the last few days. One was about the southeast not going to have good sig for a bit because of gov testing. Im tired of the threads being posted whining about threads being posted that you don't like.
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Ok guys enough with the GPS threads ok. We all know what the GPS is like on the captivate, SO we have 3 options.

1. Accept it and try to help getting it to work as best it can.

2. Be upset about it and complain to ATT till they give you another device.

3. Complain to Samsung about it

If you notice there was not an option to keep posting new threads about this. I have left a few threads open for this just so people that think complaining on XDA about it will make them feel better or get something done about it. Either way I am over the issue myself. I know my gps doesnt work like my old HD 2 did but hey I expected issues when I got a Samsung product. Look at the issues all their smartphones have had over the years. There was no reason that I thought the captivate was gonna be any diff, it was just an entry level Android device for me to use till I got the device i wanted. (Desire HD).

Hi guys,

My Youtube app is not working, i can use the search to find videos, read comments, post comments, but i cannot watch any video, it just dont load the video. Youtube works normaly on the web browser, i tried this in 3 wi-fi spots, none of them worked.

i tried to find something about it, but nothing related to android.

I have a SGS with Froyo 2.2, rooted with superoneclick.

Any ideas?

Thanks (sorry, bad english)
[HD2 General] jaxboater:
I have both phones.

The T Mobile is in much better shape (in additional to the extra mem) and I was wondering how hard it would be to swap just the cell transmitter / receiver.

thx in advance
[HD2 General] lude219:
Arent most SoCs have everything soldered down on the motherboard? The only things that are not soldered down are stuff like camera and screen, since those are connected through ribbons. If you somehow are able to pull it off, I'd be dumbfounded lol.
[HD2 General] jaxboater:
I was hoping that the 'Receiver P/N 36H00838-00M' was different on each phone.

I went ahead and pulled and swapped.

I was a little lucky - neither was bricked - but no joy.

The T Mobile tried to maintain a E connection (failed) and the 9193 didn't do anything.

I swapped the Receivers back so I'm where I started.

Except for data speed I truly like the T Mobile a lot more. I feel like the display is better (and the extra mem is really great!!)
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
blimey, skills. nice one. Wanna come swap out my cracked screen for me? my hands shake farrr to much. hehe
[HD2 General] NDarkstar:
Presumably when you swapped the receivers you also updated the radios appropriately? I recently got a 8585 and was pondering purchasing a receiver to try what you describe here.
[HD2 General] Dadrooooo:
Are you going to sell your T9193? I may be in need of the motherboard from it to repair mine and have been trying to find someone with one they'd sell cheap. Does your T9193 work just fine?

Thanks

-Drew
[HD2 General] Dadrooooo:
Ndarkstar, if you try this would you let me know of the results? Like my last post said my T9193 motherboard is going and it would be way cheaper if I could just switch out the receiver to get 3G with ATT than to buy another phone from Australia. I plan on also PMing you with this Ndark, just in case you dont see this post. Thanks

[HD2 General] ookba:
I actually want to try the same thing. Did anyone have any success? I have a T9193 with a bad digitizer and a working T8585. Also, I wonder if I can swap the entire mainboard from the T9193 into the T8585? I know the LCD and Digitizer in the T8585 are slightly different but will all the connectors fit? Any input would be appreciated. :)
[Epic 4G General] blackdragon79:
Just want to get a chat going about this whole android vs apple os situation. So why not see which out of the two best phones sprint currently has to offer that can truly own the iphone4.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Neither.

The iPhone4 is a great piece of hardware and has the gigantic app store as a ridiculously awesome selling point.

The Epic4g has similar hardware to the iPhone 4, but has a much more open OS that allows user customization and has much more media playback capability than the iPhone or Evo4g. Where the iPhone has a higher res screen, the Epic has a much better looking screen.

The Evo4g has a larger screen than the iPhone but with a smaller resolution. The Evo4g has the slowest hardware of the 3, but has the largest screen and a kickstand. It also has media playback capabilities that are hindered by HTC's refusal to offer hardware acceleration for Divx, which places it ahead of the iPhone but behind the Epic4g.

Neither phone "owns" the iPhone. Of the three, I obviously think the Epic4g fits my needs the most. I am also not a fan of iOS at all, but there is no arguing against the might that is the App Store. In fact, I think that iOS is absolute garbage personally, and I use it daily on my iPad. I don't like Apple as a company really because of what they do with their software, but there is absolutely no arguing that they put out the highest quality hardware in the business.
[Epic 4G General] ms79723:
Well...I think we should just be comparing android phones in this situation. Because the iPhone isnt for Sprint so even if we were to all come to the conclusion that the iPhone is the best phone out there, there's nothing we can do about it. But with the Evo and Epic we can compare/contrast and switch. But I think there are already threads like that so...meh.

But if I were to pick a Sprint phone to compare to the iPhone...I'd choose the Epic and I would say that they are about the same. I wouldn't throw the Evo in the mix, I just got an Epic today and I'm never going to look at my Evo again(I'd rather go back to my 1st gen iPhone before I go back to the Evo)...I could write essays about everything wrong with that device.
[Epic 4G General] blackdragon79:
When i had my evo it started getting slower and slower over time and the battery would drain faster than ever.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
I'll tell you this..not the EVO..ironically the iPhone has better hardware specs then the EVO...the Epic and the Galaxy S line are right now the only Android phones that beat the iPhone hardware wise..
[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
I say both best the iphone because of android I prefer Epic over Evo
[Epic 4G General] ms79723:
I know!! >.< so frustrating. And idk, the dev community is bigger so it has that, but I'd rather have a device where you dont have to rely on the community that much. I mean, I rooted my Epic today and put on 2.2.1 and this thing is amazing. I'm not thinking about any other roms or anything, I'm already happy. With the Evo, as soon as you flash one rom and kernel combo, you're only happy for like 10mins, then you find all these things you dont like and you're flashing something else...And must of it is all the placebo effect. Out of all the kernels for the Evo, there are only 2-3 that actually seemed to help, the rest were the same as stock. But idk...I'm just an angry ex-Evo user. After using the Epic today, I'm just pissed off at the Evo.

Epic = iPhone > Evo.

And apple is lucky that they dont try to put iOS on everything, or else their phone would be garbage..but at the same time, since they didn't do that, thats probably what's going to bury them. Well..that's if Android doesn't bury itself first.
[Epic 4G General] Jayavarman:
I need the Epic's physical keyboard.
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
Well, I got my Epic first and I love it, but 4 months down the road, I got tired of waiting on Samsung/Sprint to release 2.2 and the source code and just recently got myself an Evo to play around with also. Both are great phones, and the Epic definitely feels better in my hand is easier to type with when I am doing long emails or long text messaging. I find my Evo (only had for a few days now) to be awesome in its own aspects. It gets the latest and the greatest from Cyanogen MOD with CM7 being AWESOME. Untill the Epic actually gets the source code released and more development can happen, then I think I will stick with my Evo. Cause when that actually happens, CM6 will be done and CM7 will be ported shortly after and work fully, and then I can sell my Evo.

Oh, and btw, iOS sucks. I can't stand their layout, so I can't really compare the 2, I played on my friends 3gs and it's like using a 1 button mouse to me. What the hell were they thinking with 1 button to rule them all at the bottom. I can't stand it. Apple does a pretty good job at upgrading their OS, but they will never be as good as Android because of the open source programmers and developers we have that will continue to push the envelope with what is released.
