[Epic 4G General] mtdg311:
Thanks for posting the pic!

Well I must be crazy then... thanks both for replying... maybe they set it up differently at the store when I first got it. I'm pretty new with android so I can't really figure it out. It was previously set up with the swipe right to answer, swipe left to decline answer screen, at least I could have sworn. My memory might be going. Is that possible to either re-enable, or add on somehow?
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Maybe that's what it looks like when the keyboard is open and you get a call? Ill post a pic.(its two pics cause i ctopped out the callers name)

[Epic 4G General] mtdg311:
I don't recall that one. (I wish I could just post a screen shot, that'd be much easier, almost there though)

It had "incoming call" towards the top, contact picture under that, both of which took up roughly the top half of the screen, and then on the bottom part it had two tabs, one on each side, green circle phone inside a tab on the left, red circle phone inside tab on the right, and you'd swipe the tabs to either side either to accept or decline.

10th screenshot after a google image search for "android incoming call"
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
That is the vanilla android call answer screen. The epic never had that in stock form. Are you rooted, on a custom rom, etc.(I'm not lol)

Sent from The Chaotic Void
[Epic 4G General] mtdg311:
No, not rooted, no roms, etc... I had a co-worker play with it when I first got it, but as far as I know, no tweaks that deep were ever made. If it's not normal, I'll consider myself old and crazy and call it good. The only other thing I could think of was perhaps some software update may have changed it since then, but again, I can't remember. :confused:
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
You should probably ask that co-worker if he put it on there.

[Epic 4G General] SemiGamer:
Were you playing with anyone elses phone lately? Maybe they had that answer screen and your just remembering it as yours?
[Epic 4G General] mtdg311:
He said he didn't do anything with that. Oh well, if it was never stock, it's probably not easy to get back (assuming it was actually there, which I can't verify) so I won't worry about it. Thank you very much for your help though, I really appreciate it!
[Epic 4G General] mtdg311:

porting the Epic 4g call answer screen to Epic touch

Since you all are talking about the Epic 4g call answer screen, i wanted to ask what i need to do to port that over to my epic touch. I like that answer screen and would rather have that one, than the one that comes stock on the epic touch. If you can help me out i would really appreciate it..

What do you think are the best settings for the Epic Camera?

Whenever I take a picture in normal to low light conditions with flash, I see lots of noise

Take a look and see. Are there any optimal settings for the Epic Camera?

Please Share. Note: 3 of the Pictures are using flash, but 1 is not

Thanks

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DangerZone1223:
The problem with low light photography with phones is the size of the sensor. You have these teeny tiny sensors trying to take in as much light as possible, but unfortunately that's not good when taking pictures in low light. Ever wonder why point and shoot and DSLR cameras are better? They have bigger sensors.

You're going to get some noticeable artifacts if you go ISO800 or higher. It's just the nature of the beast with these small sensors. My suggestion is to just make it easy on yourself: use a pre-programmed setting for nighttime photography, use the flash when taking pictures of people, and turn on the lights if you want a nice picture. Otherwise use a DSLR or point and shoot.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raving2007:
I have Sansung galaxy s on TMobile uk - Had it replaced now 3 times in 6 months - great phone but fed up with lag - keeps freezing - black screen - lost data - lost signal .. crap hotmail

How do i fix it ?? Whats a Lag fix ?? Please help/recomend

Thanks :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] js8:
a lagfix is a generic name for a couple of different methods used to ... fix the lag :p

Most lagfix solutions require ROOTing the phone... which, in simple terms, just means giving yourself administrator privileges to change things on the phone.

A simple and fairly popular way to fix the lag is OCLF 2.0 which you can get on the Market. You need to first root the phone using z4root or other rooting tools (look around the forum.. easy to find info on different root methods).

Other lagfix methods change your file system to ext4, which is just a different way of managing bits and files on the phone. Voodoo (also documented on XDA is one of those methods).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] js8:
If you are a little bit brave, a slightly scary but entirely safe way to fix the lag is to simply replace the ROM (from your carrier and Samsung) with a custom ROM.

While this was a very technical process 6-9 months ago, there are a whole bunch of tools and great documentation that make it pretty easy nowadays.

I would suggest looking at RomKitchen ... take a few minutes to read the documentation, and play with Rom Manager to do a full backup of your current phone setup to get a feel for what is involved. Then if you are comfortable, try installing a custom ROM using a lot of the default choices in RomKitchen (having done a full backup beforehand, of course).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] js8:
One note...

I spent a lot of time in the last few months playing with 'lagfixes' before installing custom ROMs. In the latest releases of the Galaxy ROMs (JPY and JS3) I've found the speed and battery life very good, even without resorting to lagfixes.

Then you can decide if you actually need a lagfix for that extra bit of performance, or if the 'standard-custom' ROM is good enough :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
First try to upgrade to froyo 2.2.1 and you have almost no lag and its okey for normal use.

If you want more out of the phone you need to use a custom kernel that make the phone much better.

You can also put a custom rom on it to make it even better.

Right now im using stock jpy Rom with my kernel. Its very nice;-)

**DamianGTO Steam kernel. 350MB Ram. 500HZ. ext2/jfs . js3 base**
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexpascale:
I'm also using RomKitchen builds with no lagfix and they are incredibly faster than the stock build.

Any idea on eta of an extended battery that's over 2000 mah ? :)
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] sdc177:
1) You really think the Shift needs one? Don't try the original EVO!

2) You really want your phone to be even thicker?
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] T-Rave:
I am quite satisfied with the battery life. Actually very impressed. Consistently getting 16+ hours out of it. I'm usually a battery snob too. I guess to each it's own
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] lgmayka:
I am satisfied enough with the allegedly 2000mAh battery I got on eBay. The nonobvious fact is that it charges much more completely when powered down. For various reasons, I don't want to leave the phone powered down all night, so I leave it plugged in but powered up. As soon as I wake up, I power it down and plug it back in, and it continues to trickle-charge for another 90 minutes, until I leave the house.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] dtaylorr:
how much

I have seen 1800 and 2000 batteries on Ebay and been tempted, how much better are they?
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] jjb61:
I am curious about these batteries too. Mine is OK I get decent battery life but I am a very heavy phone user and I have to charge mine about mid day. It would be nice to get through the day without charging it.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] ahager88:
Mind sharing your definition of heavy use? To eat the battery in half a day... WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, Consistent music or video use...?

I just ask because that's a pretty harsh battery cycle. On my heroc, cm6 would eat it. 8 hours tops... no matter what I did. Then AOSP would last 30.

With medium to heavy usage, I get no less than 18 hours. My longest cycle has been 61 hours.

WiFi running all day... at least an hour of Angry Birds. Some YouTube. Usually 50 - 100 sms/mms. 2 - 3 hrs talk time. Bout 10 received and sent emails on average as well.

Guess that is light use compared to some abusers.

I will say this, if you spend a lot of time in an area with low signal that will kill your battery quickly.

I work in the 9th circle of hell for cell signal and my battery dies much faster in the office than it does when I'm not in.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] ahager88:
Agreed. I work on the inland waterways... sometimes lucky to get 1x for a couple hundred nautical miles (which can be a few days at times) and... well I don't wanna address that issue.

That's why I don't base my statistics on work time at all.

Also to note.. although most phone users should already know this, downloading a 10 mb file on 3G, or even 4g for that matter, will use a hell of a lot less battery than downloading a comparable file on 1x.

[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] TheGOAT232412:
Agreed. I get very little signal at my house at all, I have a Sprint Airvana box that supports the signal throughout my house and it eats up my battery throughout the day. :mad:
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] Sentinel One:
It's ridiculous that these companies are putting the same 1500 mAh batteries into smartphones as they did in the old school phones. Forcing anyone who actually uses there phone much to be dependent on a power outlet throughout the day.

Sure, slim is "in", and it saves the manufacturer money by stiffing us with an inadequate battery, but screws the consumer that actually uses their smartphone.

Your only alternative is to spend an additional near $100.00 to get an acceptable battery that should have come with the phone to begin with. :mad:
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] tokuzumi:
It depends on shipper's location, the shipping method, and your location :p

But to discuss the "battery life" of an extended battery, it depends on the quality of the battery cells. When I had my Evo 4G, I bought one of those $15 3500 mAh eBay batteries with a cover. It lasted 15-30% longer than the stock battery. Sometimes it wasn't any better than stock. Using the Seidio 3500 mAh battery, it lasted much longer than the cheapo extended battery, but it was also $50+.

If you want a quality battery, that is almost guaranteed to be rated close to what's written on the cover, get a Mugen, or a Seidio. You will also get the battery life you expect. If you want something that might or might not last longer than stock, go with the cheapo eBay batteries.

You get what you pay for.

I've updated my PRL and profile several times. My old phone was slow too. Could something be wrong with my account?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradleyw801:
It could be your area. Try testing in different locations. If it's still slow, then it may be your account.

Sometimes if you use a lot of data, there is some evidence to suggest sprint may throttle you.

The other thing could be your phone. If you have a lot of processes going, even ones that don't use data, it can still affect the phones ability to work properly.

I would try ruling those out and then call Sprint.

There is a thread for this already, a lot of people are having this same problem, including me. It started around November, when before, I would constantly get at least 1500kbps down and up, as both my home and work are less than a block from a tower.

After one day for some reason, I can NEVER get anything above 100kpbs, and it usually doesnt work at all. I have done everything, and sprint, stupidly, thinks that its a hardware problem every time, and since November, they have given me 5 brand new evo's. ALL have the exact same problem. I'm no expert, but 5 brand new phones dont all have the same problem. I have called CS MANY MANY times, and they refuse to check their end, saying every time that "our network is fine".

Whats weird, every friend I have on sprint, their phones are fine, even 3 year old phones. Whats even weirder, my friend with an evo, and the evo's in the sprint store all are fine. But with this thread on here, and a long thread on AF, there seems to be an isolated issue with a lot of people.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] triscuit1983:
Well you can count me in as an isolated issue. My 3G has been fine for like 2 years now, and all of the sudden, I'd say the past month or more, total crap.

Anyone else thinking there's some use-less stickies here??

General section specifically.

There's the Nero v4 add on's and what-not.

Why not organize them and put them all into 1 sticky like they did on some other sections?

im pretty sure the "understanding samsung's firmware numbers" doesn't need to be stickied, yes it super interesting, but it doesn't need to be stickied.

Half the first page is with stickies....

I agree, we should erase the Nero v4 addons thread, the tmobile whine thread, the thread deletion thread, and the Samsung's version numbers thread.

As someone who TRIES to keep his sticky updated, I would hate to have to go to a stick thread, click a link and then edit mine because the General Sticky (mine) would go to the bottom since it's not posted in too much.
