I already more the outcome myself. Theres a reason I ditched my launch day evo for my launch day epic. all the evo is used for now is to let the kids play angry birds

Haterz gonna hate. Just keep hatin. I brush them haterz off. It ain't my fault my epic's e-penis is bigger then the evo's e-penis.
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
And there is a reason why I still have my EVO and didn't jump ship for the Epic. I like quality.
[EVO 4G General] Bigjim1488:
This guy is a clown, I don't even get why you guys feed into it.
[EVO 4G General] ecooce:
You obviously dont know **** about quality,name one person you know that has a broke Epic,I have 3 friends with Epics,still going strong.And the one person I know with an Evo had his replaced because the case cracked when dropped,to heavy maybe... I mean compare any flat screen tv to an old crt tv,all the flat screens feel cheap dont they,I mean they weigh less,lol.I mean come on,your argument is mute period,you know **** about quality and functionality.

[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
Actually, new flat screens feel a LOT nicer than old CRTs. At least the high end ones do. I should know because I sell a ton of them. Samsung's phones aside from feeling like cheap plastic toys are just riddled with bugs (stock software). These are KNOWN bugs that they have yet to work out because they consistently fail to support any product once they hit the market. The EVO on the other hand sure had some bugs, but HTC has released I dunno, 5 updates since it was released? Our GPS works beautifully, the EVO FEELS like a solid device, and just workS better. If you think the Sammy phones feel nicer than the EVO then I'm sorry to say but you have no idea what quality feels like. I'm sure you even think the Galaxy Tab has a nice feel to it. And yeah, back to that display. There is no denying that it is brighter and more vibrant but what kills me is how crappy it makes text look. If they fix that and tone down the saturation a bunch, I'd be all about them. But until that is fixed, I'll stick with LCD.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
Busted gps, flaky cap buttons, a hard wired keyboard that has a reputation of dropping characters, need for a lag fix, crappy text rendering, flimsy build with cheap plastic, no froyo update... A few of the reasons why I didn't buy an epic.

I wouldn't recommend it to my friends because of the lack of updates so I'm sure not going to get one myself.

Here's my old epic. I ran over it on purpose. Its a poorly designed phone. It wobbles more than the 504 boyz.
[EVO 4G General] iSaint:
you guys are obviosly HTC Fanboys. Mystery was just going to show you guys how much better the epics display is which he notices from having both an evo and a epic.The plastic on the epic isn't that bad actually..yea it feels cheap but after having my epic for a few months it looks like it did new no scratches on the screen or anything.

no im not being biased because im pissed that samsung hasn't released froyo yet but the epic is an amazing phone and IMO blows the evo out of the water stock but everyone has there own opinion i guess.and epic users also have the Specs.
[EVO 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
Gps busted I'll give you that one. The problem with the gps isn't a problem for all devices. Gps had never been a problem on my handset. I get a 2 meter lock in places I get a 13 meter lock with the evo. The hardwired keyboard drops as much letters young fast asd riding the soft keyboard on the evo typing ay the same speed. I got one never have a problem reading text ok my epic but I do on evo cause it looks washed out. I like how my phone feels compared to the evo. Wanna talk about build quality. What about your screen seperation. The grounding problem. Multi touch only working 75% of the time. Poor battery. Faulty usb port. Faulty power button.

Yes ota froyo is a set back but wer got leaks that's running stronger then the evo with official froyo

Haterz gonna hate. Just keep hatin. I brush them haterz off. It ain't my fault my epic's e-penis is bigger then the evo's e-penis.
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
I'm not an HTC fanboy at all. I've been drooling over the specs of the Atrix and Bionic and the Nexus S ALMOST made me jump ship. What killed it for me was that screen and the cheap feel. I actually went to best buy with the intention of buying it but left with my trusty EVO still in hand.

Bottom line is this- We all love our android phones like they are our children and it's easier to call a child ugly when it's not your own. I will not back down about my EVO, just like you guys won't back down with your Epics (even though you are clearly wrong :P). If we were in person I'd pass you guys the bong and even give you greens.
[EVO 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
Called me a clown, saying you never herd if a emotionless gangster. You started the name calling. Those had nothing to do with the debate ast hand

Haterz gonna hate. Just keep hatin. I brush them haterz off. It ain't my fault my epic's e-penis is bigger then the evo's e-penis.
[EVO 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
I had the epic before the evo. See my above post. Day to day normal usage there is absolutely no speed difference between the 2.

I am not a gamer so the gpu did me no good.

Yes the screen on the epic is better but its only good at 1 thing, and that's great colors. The evo screen is sharper by far.

My battery life on the evo is much better. Say what you want but the samoled draws alot of juice with the screen on.

I can also actually use my evo without burning my hand.

When I'm charging my evo while using it it charges. Unlike the epic where it doesn't charge while your using it.

Also the keyboard on the epic always missed keys no matter how hard you pressed them.

Like I stated earlier the slider mechanism was crap. I had 2 epics and both were very loose after a few weeks.

I'm not a HTC fanboy I am just telling it the way I see it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] systematic:
lol i had one of these and i basically traded it for a vibrant(long story), anywho i fell in love with the full court ringtone... is there any way this can be taken from the phone, like from a zip of the system or smthn like that?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beartard:
If you're lucky enough to have a flashable zipped ROM of the "host" phone, you can open it up and copy out the ringtones. They're stored in /system/media/audio. Also, if the phone is rooted and you have access to the /system directory, you can copy them to the sd card and transfer over USB to your computer.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] systematic:
No longer have access to the phone, I really love that ringtone, I kno someone here is rooted with access to sys files... Maybe they could throw me a bone
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beartard:
Check the ROM bible in the dev section and see if you can find a stock rom to download. It should have the tone you want.

[Droid X General] mj23kb08:
I was planning on removing the app "Social Networking" bc I use Tweetdeck. However, I was wondering if it messes up the "Messaging" app since Social Networking seems to be tied into it. Please help!
[Droid X General] mikehal38:
I am also curious about this. I'm not sure but it seems that the social networking app is always using my gps and it drives me crazy. I could leave the gps on with my droid but now since having a dx I have to manually turn it off or it constantly is on sucking my battery dry.
[Droid X General] mj23kb08:
Well, I just pulled the trigger last night and uninstalled it. It seems to be okay thusfar. Still, if you or anyone else here's of complications this may cause, please let me know. Thanks! (btw, I just installed Root Explorer last night and I've decided from here on out that I'm going to rename files now instead of uninstalling them).
[Droid X General] dwray:
I never used the Social Networking app either so I just froze it with Titanium as well as the stock Messaging app since I use Handcent. No problems so far since they're just system applications that can be replaced with third party apps.
[Droid X General] mikehal38:
I thought that if you froze the stock messaging app that your mms messages wouldn't work...
[Droid X General] mj23kb08:
It wasn't the stock messaging app that I uninstalled. It was the Social Networking app.
[Droid X General] dwray:
I froze both and everything seems to work just fine. Haven't tried mms yet though so I'll have to get back to you on that one.

Thanks for that.

Didn't see Galilio on batteryboss.org list, but I am assuming that they would probably be fake.
[EVO 4G Accessories] _MetalHead_:
They are easily the best of the cheap ebay batteries.
[EVO 4G Accessories] montecristo1:
I bought the 2000mAh Galilio on ebay for $8.99. It came nicely package- http://cgi.ebay.com/High-Quality-Ba...451129?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item230b00b539

My take, it lasts longer than the stock by far, but I am used to my 3500 battery... so I switch back and forth. Not a bad deal if you want to keep the original back cover and have a little more juice that the stock battery.
[EVO 4G Accessories] spankmaster:
i agree, i have two of them and bow definitely last longer than the stock battery. They are a great buy.
[EVO 4G Accessories] landaile:
I got two of those buggers and a wall charger and with shipping it cost me $17.52. They are at least as good as original battery if not slightly better.
[EVO 4G Accessories] landaile:
Sorry, double post.
[EVO 4G Accessories] StealthTH:
I've got one. When I switch between it and my stock one, I can feel the difference between the two. With it I can get close to 2 days w/o recharge, stock battery is only 1.5 days w/o recharge. I use my phone very lightly and a lot of wifi so take that into consideration with battery use.
[EVO 4G Accessories] michaelvibe:
Ah well I think everyone has sold me. I have an ebay bucks certificate so it isn't like I am going to be losing any money on the deal haha.
[EVO 4G Accessories] StealthTH:
Just to note, mine did take a few cycles to calibrate/get the most out of the battery. So be patient at first.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] okolowicz:
I bought the EVO on its first day of availability after having owned iPhones for the prior three years. One of the things that immediately bothered me was the inconsistency of icons. While there are many great icon designs in Android I prefer a simple consistent look for them.

I put these together some time ago for my own personal use with no intent on releasing them. Therefore, I did not document instances where I either borrowed elements from other icon designers or recreated the design of icons I had seen in the past. After receiving so many requests to release them I decided I'd track down the original artists whose icons I recreated or borrowed elements from... Unfortunately, due to my hectic work schedule that just has not been possible. Therefore, I simply removed the icons I recall as not being original and will add them back as I get around to getting the blessing of the original artist.

In the interim I have made available all the other icons I put together. In total there are just over 200 with a number of alternates for select apps. Hopefully, there is nothing in this pack with borrowed elements, however, if anyone sees something I missed please point it out and I'll be happy to remove it. Once I get around to getting the blessing from some artists whose designs I borrowed there will be another 50-60 icons added.

Now that that is out of the way... I present my fellow XDA'ers "Vitamin Droid." It seems everyone has a name for their icon pack so I figured this was as good as any. They are clean, colorful, crisp, and square. Below is a preview as well as links to zips of the icons. Bear in mind there are two zip packs. One of them is for all the icons in a 140px size and the other is for the icons in a 70px size. They are identical in all aspects except for their size. I created them in 140px to be somewhat future proof as higher resolution screens continue to be released.

I may sound a little slow but how do u install them cause they look pretty nice
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] okolowicz:
I know there are a variety of methods for doing it including Metaporph but, I am not really familiar with them. I changed the icons within the apk for all my apps so that they would also be themed within the App Drawer.

Hopefully, someone more knowledgeable will come along and make an iconpack out of these.

That said, I am going to put these into a MIUI package this week which should be significantly easier for those running MIUI.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rubadub234:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
NEW VERSION Uploaded (Feb 4, 2011): FB2ContactPicSync_v1003.CAB

Fully skinnable.

Images now fill the whole space.

And the potential for the initial contact crash is fixed.

And the skinning can use pngs with transparency.

And it should be installable to the storage card now.

I developed an app to add the facebook pic to outlook contacts.

Sense 2.5 automatically adds images to your device to be used for your contacts in Sense.

But, the image is not added to your outlook contacts.

I went through the threads that it suggested before creating this thread.

If you like this app, please use the Thanks feature of the site.

And of course donations are always appreciated;

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=7380024

What does the app do:

Interactive Mode:

For each contact

{

... if the contact is linked to facebook

... {

... ... if there is a facebook image on the phone for the contact

... ... {

... ... ... if the contact already has an image associated with it.

... ... ... {

... ... ... ... display both images, ask user if user wants to replace current with facebook image on device

... ... ... }

... ... ... else

... ... ... {

... ... ... ... display facebook image and ask to add facebook image on device to outlook contact

... ... ... }

... ... }

... }

}

Later, it will also have a batch mode.

After pressing Start, give it a minute. It is looping through all contacts finding the ones that are associated to a facebook account. It stores them in a dictionary for processing with the other buttons.

Again, please use the Thanks feature and donate as you feel appropriate.

Note: initial version had over 200 downloads.

v1001 had 190

v1002 had about 50

I removed the other attachments, leaving only the most recent version to avoid any confusion about what should be downloaded.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
Reserving Post #3 for bugs or known issues

Make sure to sync with facebook before running the app. Otherwise you will need to click on an eror for each contact that yoou sync with facebook.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
Tips / extras

App is fully skinnable.

If you want to make the button look like it is pressed when you press it, there are images in the program directory for that.

All artists, please post custom images and backgrounds.

Control locations are not editable. (maybe in a future version I get screen coordinates from an ini file.) But, for now, just make images that assume things will be where they are.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
Reserving post #5

Just reserving this incase I think of something else important.

Maybe a change log or something.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
Icon Request

I am making pretty good progress on the app.

Currently it is displaying the image for both facebook and outlook.

Interactive only.

No batch mode yet.

But, I am not much of an artist.

If some of you could make and post some icons, that would be very helpful.

Thanks,

JVH3

[EDIT]

Came up with my own icon.

Feel free to still upload any that you think are better. I can use it the next version.

I'm no good with graphic design, just wanted to stop in and say that I can't wait for this to come out. It's very annoying that outlook contacts don't retain the facebook pictures after a flash.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zeusma:
will your app allow the user to pick which facebook image to display as the contact image if the user has several profile pictures available on facebook?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
Nope. It just lets you set the outlook image to be the image that Sense Facebook integration downloaded.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pbeutler:
Damn....you are fast :)

downloading now, try and give you some feedback (if needed ;))

Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pbeutler:
Ok, downloaded and installed (on device) but get an error abt 5 seconds after having pressed start...

I was wondering if it would be possible to have the app like continuously running or being linked to the update feature in Sense contacts...That way, whenever an update is done on facebook and synced with Sense it gets to Outlook, without the need for a manual starting of this app...

Will be on the lookout for an update, so I can try again.

Cheers,
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
Would you be able to post a screen capture of your error?

Appoximately how many contacts do you have that sync with facebook?

There are just a couple things that it could be.

If the facebook image for the contact is not on your device. That could cause an error.

Discovered some inconsistancies in the data that I was looking for.

Currently, it only handles contacts where the facebook id is noted by

<sn>id:somenumber/friendof:somenumber</sn>

But, it needs to be modified to also handle

<Facebook>id:somenumber/friendof:somenumber</Facebook>

It's late. Update will be made tomorrow.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pbeutler:
Hmmm, 'Shake n Save' is gone on the NRG feb 16th ROM...so, sorry, no screenshot, however, it is a standard error:

"An unexpected error has occured in FB2Outlook....

Select Quit and then restart this program...lalala

The details: (damn...have to type this.. :( )

FB2Outlookcontactpicsync.exe

NullReferenceException

at Microsoft.windowsmobile.Pocketoutlook.Pimitem...ctor(itemld itemld..

<do you really need this? lot of typing :p > Will do if you REALLY need it ;)

I now only have like 10-15 contacts linked with facebook..

cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
I think I figured out what the issue is. A long while back, contacts used to store <sn>id:

Now they use <Facebook>id:

I have modified the app to handle both.

I pulled the original version and just uploaded a new version.

Glad you had the error, otherwise alot of my contacts would have been missed. Thanks for testing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] HorstDCC:
Nice effort!

1. installed on device HD2 using ROM from signature

2. started in interactive mode

3. first contact -> clicked Replace With

second contact: idem

4. immediately after that the program crashed with an ArgumentException at CheckInvalidPathChars.

I'll install NETCFv35.Messages and ShakeAndSave later to give more details.

PS: Currently the program installs to CE:\Prgram Files directly instead of it's own subfolder when chooising 'Device' as installation target.

best regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
Did you install the version that I just uploaded maybe 5 minutes ago?

Or the first version that I uploaded?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
Thanks.

I'll fix that install path tomorrow. Need to get some sleep before work.

I will also verify that the facebook image exists on the phone before accessing it. I'm sure that is where the exception is occuring.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] HorstDCC:
Second Run:

It behaves the same when keeping the outlook picture. After the second contact is clicked the program crashes with the same errormessage.

The previous replacement seems to be kept on the device and the thus modified contacts seem to get synced correctly to the desktop.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] HorstDCC:
Probably the first since the timestamp in the CAB shows a difference of more than 1h. I'll try again with the version that is there now.

Maybe using a version number in the filename isn't a bad idea.

best regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
My guess is that some of your contacts that are associated with facebook do not have a facebook contact picture on the phone.

Could be caused by a friend on facebook cancelling his or her facebook account.

I'll add a check to make sure the file exists tomorrow and some exception handling for anything else I haven't thought of.

I was considering ditching my old stock Droid X "File Manager" app for Astro, but I'm hesitant to do so since the market doesn't have the generic stock one for me to redownload.

[Droid X General] mj23kb08:
I already installed Astro once and liked certain things about it, but the stock file manager has something called "Shared Folders". I was afraid that uninstalling it might mess up the "Media Share" app since Astro doesn't have that particular feature. Other than that I think Astro is more expansive and runs much more smoothly. Does uninstalling the stock file manager mess up Media Share?
