Damn it has gingerbread and we do.t even have official froyo. Oh yeah I would wait as well man. There are some better phones coming soon. I'm still drooling over the atrix. I think that will be the best phone this year unless the tegra3's come out.

[Epic 4G General] Doppler808:
I see no difference. All manufacturers do it. Sounds like a double standard. No device has 2.3. I can name a few devices that have 2.1 or lower with a promise to update, and they all are coming out with newer devices.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
The difference is that when this phone launched it was launched under the guise that it would receive Froyo in a timely manner. Now 5 months later they haven't updated it yet. The more phones they release, the less incentive they have to update older devices. They gain nothing financially from updating devices to newer versions of Android. A small percentage of people, at most in the high single digits, actually care/know what version of Android the phone is running. Even if they wrote off this group of people and these people never bought Samsung again, they gain business by constantly introducing new shiny phones for the remaining 90+% to buy.

That is why I am concerned with them releasing new awesome phones while ours remain on Android 2.1.
[Epic 4G General] Doppler808:
Regardless how long they took they still kept their end of the bargain. Look st the mytouch slide. They are speculating someone after march for their 2.2 upgrade. So HTC should get the same flack. Yet I don't see it. Motorola did the same thing with the droid X. they brought out 2 devices with 2.2 while droid X users waited. See what I am talking about? People tend to promote another manufacturer without actually looking at times. They all do the same thing and sometimes it falls under the radar.
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
The best android phone for sprint is not the one I have (epic), but the one that has the best specs today. Don't believe anything sprint says about future software updates unless they put in writing with a specific release date. Sprint are the biggest gd liars when it comes to selling phones.
[Epic 4G General] qbking77:
Samsung epic is the best phone hands down!
[Epic 4G General] xeonbuilder:
The epic is a much better phone but as you can tell with all the froyo post samsung and sprint cant seem to provide us with an actual update. That had never been a problem with any htc I have ever owned.

that's the only reason I say evo.
[Epic 4G General] themirthfulswami:
If you can live without an official Froyo for an indeterminate period of time, or are willing to try custom ROMs, then go for it. The Epic is a great piece of hardware, I really like mine. Then again, there'll be some new hardware coming to Sprint in the near future I'm sure.. might be better to wait another month or two if you can stand it.
[Epic 4G General] ms79723:
updates are nice...but if Google is really trying to push this gaming stuff, then thats when the Evo gets killed. They added a lot of things in Gingerbread for gaming but none of that is going to help the Evo out. The Evo with Gingerbread still can't play Dungeon Defenders while the Epic on 2.1 can...so really, Gingerbread is just an update that gives the Evo the Epic experience (because Gingerbread really does feel like 2.2.1 on the Epic).

And there are so many other things wrong with the Evo as well....main thing is 4G and battery life. The Evo doesnt even report the right battery percentages. You can be on 100% then go into recovery, come out of recovery and be at 96%...go back into recovery and come out of it and be at 98% -.-. The battery is also a slippery slope. Once the phone heats up, there's absolutely no way of cooling it down unless you stop EVERYTHING you're doing. And everything heats it up, and it only takes 20 mins of usage to go from 80 to +95 degrees. They do have the dev community and kernels, but the kernels only help with the sleeping (barely). They dont really help with actual usage because of the slippery slope.

Also the Epic is a true 4G phone. It treats 4G more like 3G than WiFi. With the Evo, once you connect to 4G, it runs nonstop, which is why people thought 4G was a guzzler and thats why I was afraid to use it on my Epic. but the Epic actually times it out when not in use and starts it back up once in use, saves a ton of battery.

So Hardware: Epic wins

Software: Evo wins

Overall: Epic

Now the Evo wins software because of the updates and dev community, but let me put it like this....I had the Evo since August and since August Ive tried literally all roms and kernels...damn near every different combination...I followed every tip provided that promised better performance and battery life...and at the end of the day my phone was basically the same as it was out of the box. I was happy because I've never seen any better and thought that the Evo was the best out there. After one day of using the Epic, I can't go back. I just flashed DK28 and that experience alone is way better than anything the Evo has had to offer. Performance = top notch. Battery life = top notch. Its just perfect. This phone is simply perfect and I honestly don't think that HTC should be allowed to make anymore Android phones.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] E6BAV8R:
First of all, I've tried searching numerous places but can't seem to duplicate my issue. My issue is, of course, is that I am getting sync errors from HardSPL.exe/Automatic Flash when trying to HardSPL the phone.

I am using ActiveSync and the phone is Connected and Sync'd - both the phone and ActiveSync reporting the phone is sync'd. I can explore the phone and the folders, etc.. located on the phone. However, when I try to run HardSPL.exe on my PC -> Automatic Flash Mode I am getting Fatal Error - The phone is not sync'd with the PC. I have unchecked Fast Data Connection; I'm not in Flight mode; Internet is active on both PC and Phone (tried on and off); Firewall and Anti-Virus are off; Hard Reset the Phone; I've re-installed Active Sync, as well as Deleted/Re-Installed my Mobile Device Profile.

I am at a loss. Any ideas? If I overlooked something please refer me.

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmonex:
could you quote the full error message? you are probably getting two messages, I would need to see the exact error text of the first message.

and as for the second message that you are probably getting - is it offering the enablerapi CAB link by any chance? (btw you didn't mention whether you installed the CAB file or not. this may be needed to get it going.)

PS: it would have been better to post in the main Hard-SPL thread
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] PuckMercury:
Usually I've seen this problem solved by ensuring you are running with admin rights as well as confirming that you uncheck the high speed sync option for activesync on USB.

Hey all! I am pretty new to the forums (as my post count will show) and am taking AP Computer Science at school, which happens to teach Java. Since I had a lot of free time over winter break and during class, I made this. It's a direct port of Thy Dungeonman of Homestar Runner fame! If you haven't played it, it's here.

I take no credit for the text or gameplay; that is the sole property of the Brothers Chaps. I only take credit for making it from scratch for Android as a side project. Feedback is appreciated! I probably won't release it on the market due to the fact I don't own the main game content, so it's free for the XDA folks! Attached are the .apk and zipped project files, both exported directly from Eclipse. Enjoy!

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] MCRHAZ:
hey guys so i got a question which has really bothered me a whole lot for some odd reason. So i have successfully installed and re-installed WP7 onto my HD2 about 5 times all times with complete installation including live services and actually putting music and apps onto it. I am pleased by this build, however one very irritating thing for me at least is how in the world can i get the music player to function properly. the music plays well and all, however the wallpaper of the most recently played artist/album does not show so the backdrop for the music app is pitch black or white never an elegant album art/artist art display. The album cover of the playing album is displayed and all other functions work seemingly except for the "music wallpaper" I've seen it on others HD2 running HD7 so i know that its possible. if anyone knows what went wrong in the installations each time (i've done it the same way as indicated everywhere) i mean not much u can change or mess up with lol. but if anyone else has this problem or knows how annoying it is esp if you are an avid music fan who always kept their music organised and updated with right album art and info its a real bother. so please it may not seem to be a huge problem but it has clearly troubled me so to research, waste hours and then finally post about it.

If you need to send it back to htc you can just flash a stock ruu.exe. this will wipe everything and put you back to complete bone stock. There should be links to one here in the forums somewhere.if not google would be the next best thing.

Search the forums for leoimg.nbh.

You need the OFFICIAL STOCK ROM FOR YOUR PHONE (That bit is important, get it from HTC Site if you can). The ruu is renamed to leoimg.nbh, and then needs to be flashed from your SD card.

Instructions will be found if you search for these things on here.

Iv searched and searched but can't find anything specifically answering my question in layman terms.....ok here goes, before I had my phone rooted I paid 30 for one month for the sprint hotspot on my epic and used it on my ps3 to play call of duty and it worked perfect. Then a co worker told me about the rooting and free tethering so I had it done and the phone works fine, its a little faster and all that jazz but the tether feature only works on certain devices (ipod touch and 1 of my laptops) but will not work on my ps3 at all.

It is because it is an adhoc signal. Some devices won't connect or even see an adhoc signal I believe the ps3 is a device that won't cnnect to an adhoc signal. You might have to contact sony on the specs though.
[Epic 4G General] foxracer600rr:
i understand the logic behind that but why does sprints stock "hotspot" work fine on ps3 but all "aftermarket" tethers do not
[Epic 4G General] squshy 7:
I've never used the sprint hotspot, but it probably transmits in infrastructure mode (like a wireless router), and not ad hoc mode (like wirelssly conncting two computers together without a router). The truth is, no ones been able to get infrastructure mode working on di18 (which is android 2.1, and you are probably running it if you didn't go to dk28, which is android 2.2).

Now, you could try going to dk28, but it can be buggy, and I don't think the wireless tether in infrastucture mode works perfectly either. So in otherwords, it might get complicated for you.

I have an xbox360, which also doesn't connect to ad hoc networks. So instead, I use a wired tether program, pdaNet (the free version). My setup is epic wired tethered to my laptop, then an ethernet cable to connect my laptop to my xbox. If you have a laptop that you can use for this setup, I highly recommend it. There's also probably less lag than with wireless tether since wireless has more latency than a usb cable.

[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
If your Epic is running Eclair 2.1 and you're already rooted, then you're in business.

You need to flash the modified hotspot app that was ripped from the Vibrant (and modified for each of the Galaxy S series), and you're golden. After doing this, use the Sprint Hotspot app like usual with no need to pay the $30 fee, plus it's working in infrastructure mode (everything wifi friendly), not ad-hoc (some wifi friendly).

Had a similar issue trying to tether to my nook, luckily there are some pretty smart people over in that forum too and they figured out a way to swap over the nook to see ad hoc networks, makes me wonder if you trolled some ps3 forums and saw if some other people have found a solution to their systems not being ad hoc friendly, because if you ever decide to go to 2.2 that hacked hot spot option wont work

[Epic 4G General] Koadic:
If your going to go back to stock anyway (2.1, not 2.2), just root/cwm and flash the existing MobileAP for 2.1, as that will work without having to pay the extra $30/month. The trouble you were having is that the way the hotspot feature works got changed in 2.2, so the zip for 2.1 that you flashed wont work correctly.

If indeed you are going back to 2.1, this will only work on an odexed rom, in other words, a stock rom (custom kernel is fine) or possibly a custom rom after running the odexer tool in the dev section before you install/use MobileAP.
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
I really hate to get this way but the modded Mobile AP is

ONLY FOR 2.1 Eclair

NOT 2.2. It says so in the post. THAT'S WHY IT DID NOT WORK or FORCE CLOSED on you because you're running 2.2 Froyo!!
