1) the battery life is s**t i dont care what anyone says, its horrible.

2) still outdated android 2.2 when 3.0 honeycomb is out now. theyve been saying for months and months they would come out with 2.3. what's the deal with this junk?

3) the keyboard still dropping letters at random

this phone is CRAP!!!!!!!!! seriously i wish HTC made a better product than the shift, i would so switch (the shift has bad response time and is slower)>
[Epic 4G General] swee08315:
Um, about #2: 3.0 is only for tablets and 2.3 was only released a while ago, it's barely even had times to be ported to most phones.

I smell a troll, go find a bridge!

I smell a troll, why don't you just leave and go find a bridge to hang out under.

3.0 is not out yet, all that's been released is the preview. There still isn't a single 3.0 device on the market so what the hell do you expect. And as the previous poster says its only for tablets (at least at this point)

If this phone is such a POS what are the better options? I don't know of any if the physical kb is something you want. This phone still has the best screen and overall processor performance currently on the market.

Yes samsungs software devs are aparently idiots who still can't release official 2.2, but the hardware is still the best available in my opinion. And if you load a custom rom from the fine developers here it actually works quite well.

Battery life may not be wonderful but what high end android smartphone is? The evo gets worse life than this thing. Why don't you go buy a dumb phone or an iphone and stop *****ing to people here.

Battery life is never good with smart phones like the Epic, what did you expect?
[Epic 4G General] xjman:
1. The majority of everyone disagrees with you, and I have a feeling you are on your phone non stop.

2. You are obviously ranting and have no reference of knowledge of what is fact with this phone

3. Use the keyboard on the screen, its faster, more accurate, and has auto complete/correct.
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
or 3. Disable swype and other extra keyboards to make your hardware keyboard skip fewer keys.

My primary phone is a Galaxy S and I'm in love with the Allshare app and haven't been able to find any comparable apps in the market.

I've (unsuccessfully) tried to install Allshare on the NC, so that's not an option as far as I know.

I'd likely something a bit like VLC Stream and Convert but for DLNA or UPnP.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] cainhunpi:
Can u tell us what it does?

Nook Color via Xda App
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Link3737:
It's an app similar to Apple's Airplay which lets you stream videos/music/pictures from your PC to your Android device.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] cainhunpi:
The new gmote is awesome for that. I've being using it for the past couple of days. And the setup is simple

Nook Color via Xda App
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] fsnow55:
subsonic does similar; it's supposed to also stream video but I had problems with the resulting flash. Audio is fine.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] erickh:
Allshare is a DLNA client and I think also a DLNA server. I haven't been able to find a good solution to replace this on my Nook Color. It works great on my Samsung Epic 4g streaming video.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:

Gmote only works over wifi.

DLNA

I have been using 2Player on my Nook Color. It is in the Market. "Karmaware" so you pay the developer for a key if you like the software and want to send something their way. No nags. No ads.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mckooter:
yeah i love allshare on my galaxy, nothing ive found is quite as good, i personally use it as a server, it throws my pictures, music, movies to my samsung blu ray player on the fly, it also works on samsung wifi tv's (as well as sony tv's) (ive been playing at my second job @ best buy)

funny thing: samsung tv's ask if you want to display the content, and sony's dont, security issue imo for people who have open networks as i can throw anything up on your tv that i want
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Thmstec:
Twonky Mobile is a DLNA streaming app for android. You can use it as a source or a client.

Twonky Server would also work if you only want to host content on the nook.

I use Twonky all the time for sharing stuff to my PS3. Didn't realize it could act as a client as well. I'll have to try that out. Thanks!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Thmstec:
Yea, I have no idea. Only dug it up by accident going to Twonky's site trying to stream stuff from my mac to PS3.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] radpsxlist:
I haven't tried it on a nook but AndroMote works great to push the content from a server (twonky) to a DLNA device. It's a lot like AllShare just doesn't serve up it's own content.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rahulrulez:
Hey guys,

I updated my galaxy s to a custom ROM yesterday.. Battery started draining and phone was heated all the time it was turned on.

As it was discharging very quick, I plugged in the charger, phone was heated up and I suddenly got a whole green screen on phone.

I removed out battery instantly, I let it cool.. again inserted the battery and started. I got the same green display. I tried to put phone in recovery or download mode, I am getting same green display everytime I start phone.

Phone is working flawlessly as I can get phones and message tones, even touch is working. I can hear lock and unlock sound when I slide my finger over phone screen. Only thing is display is not working.

Now, What should I replace? is Digitizer working? Will samsung cover this under warranty (I've installed custom ROM on my phone) if not what will be total cost of repairs?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shallremainnameless2:
I dont know what might be wrong but maybe you can tell us what custom rom caused this issue so we can avoid it ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rumble6059:
not sure on a solution, but if you flash a standard ROM using Odin, then you can return it to Samsung and tell them that after updating to Froyo using Kies you have this problem.

as the firmware on the phone will be the official firmware then i cant see any reason why your warranty wouldn't cover it [thats what i did anyway]. just make sure you flash the phone,modem and csc files to totally restore to stock.

BTW this may also sort you problem.

[Off-topic] mattp2182:
So i'm not sure how many canadian users we have here, but basically canada is officially screwed for internet access as of march 1'st. The CRTC (canadian regulatory body) has ruled that bell(large incumbent) has the right to force indie ISP's to offer the same packages/price they offer while allowing metered internet billing. Packages start at 25gb's per/month, throttled as well as charging overage fees ranging from 2-4 dollars p/gig.

If you guys can help spread the word of this travesty of a ruling I would personally appreciate it. I dont post much on these forums and as such it wont let me put up a post with links, but if you google canada ubb and such or strombo ubb on youtube it will be easier to see what im talking about.

-Matt
[Off-topic] rita_v:
Many of us who get service through smaller ISPs who bulk-buy bandwidth from Bell were really shocked this weekend when our monthly caps dropped to 25G per month. (Mine had previously been 200G) Rogers is following with caps later this spring.

At my own ISP, 50% of 30,000 subscribers regularly exceed that 25G cap. This has meant a weekend of figuring out what the new bill will be (about $100 per month for anyone who does even a marginal amount of downloading/P2P/streaming/gaming). But moreover, it has really forced many households to reconsider how they use the Internet. In my own (where our typical use is about 70G per month) it is now going to pretty well be ruled out for anything but serious research, email, web browsing. Traffic monitors and script blockers went on every machine in the house this weekend as a first step, with router monitoring as soon as I can figure it out.

just an update, our canadian government is shutting this down. The CRTC said they want to review the decision, the government has said regardless of what they do any form of UBB will be shut down.

The head of the CRTC was also called before an industry committee and it is scary how inept he is. He has no concept of how the internet works, and he is setting digital policy for this country.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidLaser:
*First post*

I know the Nexus One is getting old, but I have it and an ADB error prevented me from rooting.

I downloaded the latest AndroidSDK.zip (I renamed it) file, found the ADB was removed, so I downloaded ADB. I had my phone on USB debugging. I dumped the ADB files into the AndroidSDK tools folder.

I opened up command prompt and started typing a few commands. I typed-

cd\

cd AndroidSDK\tools\

adb devices

After typing adb devices, it displayed the following error message in place of a serial number-

error: protocol fault <no status>

I tried 2 solutions. I killed the adb server and typed adb devices. Indifference. So I uninstalled my Nexus One drivers and reinstalled them. Still no luck. Does anyone know the solution to this problem?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidLaser:
Unlocking Bootloader?

Sorry for the late reply-

I am not trying to unlock the bootloader, but rooting the phone. There has been methods that are posted saying phones have been rooted without the bootloader being unlocked. I just need to try and get the ADB error fixed so that I can proceed to root the phone.

Oh, and by the way, is there any way to reset the phone back to unroot?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Yes, you can unroot very easily (there's a guide in the wiki).

Not sure what's happening with the adb - never seen that before. Have you had adb working before? Can you connect with fastboot?

[Focus General] bremic9188:
As much as I love this phone, it has gone to complete ****.

First the loss of cellular data. Blamed that on the SD card, so whatever. Was able to get it to work for the last month or 2.

Then I could only get my text messages 10 at a time after a soft reset. Was fine with that for now. I was just hoping the update coming out in a couple weeks would fix that issue. Figured this was caused by the SD card too.

Then my WiFi decided to stop connecting to any wireless network. Again, thought this was caused by the SD card. I couldn't take it anymore so I took the battery out, the SD card out and the SIM card out. Put it all back in, started the phone back up, and nothing. All my info was still there, but couldn't connect to any cellular network (on AT&T), and couldn't connect to WiFi. So I thought, okay can't live with this, and I did a full restore.

Booted up after the restore and went through the initial setup, and son of a b-word...won't recognize the SIM card. So I removed the SD card and did another restore. Same thing, SIM card error. Took battery, SIM, etc out, put it all back in, did another restore, blah blah blah...nothing.

So I put my SIM card in my old iPhone 3G and it will connect to AT&T with 3G, but says I don't have a data connection (I'm guessing because I don't have the iPhone specific plan). So why the hell did my focus all of a sudden decide to not recognize any SIM card? I think I've had it with this phone. This is my 2nd one and it's been nothing but problems. I understand it's probably because of the SD card, but now with no SD card installed I am still having problems. I'm tired of it.
[Focus General] pjjf:
Might not be related, but since last week, I've also been experimenting SIM Card Errors. Usually after a soft reset it will fix it. But it's been happening a lot every day. Put the card in another phone and no problem. I dropped the phone 2" two weeks ago, but didn't get the issue right away. Strangely started happening too as Samsung came out with an update to their Network Profile app. Will try a hard reset, but not looking forward to it.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michael-knight:
I have a Sony XPERIA x10 and a Rogers Dream in the past.

I have noticed on both of these phones that if I tried to connect to my network with a ROM of Android < 2.2 (Eclair, Donut..), it simply wouldn't connect. I could type in the password and click the OK button or whatever, but then it would just say "Remembered" and if I clicked the network name again and hit Connect it just wouldn't do anything.

Mine is a DD-WRTv24 Linksys WRT54G router secured with WPA Personal.

On other routers it works fine - even other dd-wrt routers.

Perhaps I will try upgrading/downgrading the firmware on my router if all else fails.

Any ideas are appreciated.

hi,all

I am using AudioRecorder to recorder sound and AudioTrack to play it back immediately, but the sound played is strange and there is too much noise in background, below is the code, anyone knows this ? please help, thanks.

init object:

recBufSize = AudioRecord.getMinBufferSize(frequency,

channelConfiguration, audioEncoding) * 2;

playBufSize = AudioTrack.getMinBufferSize(frequency,

channelConfiguration, audioEncoding) * 2;

audioRecord = new AudioRecord(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC, frequency,

channelConfiguration, audioEncoding, recBufSize);

audioTrack = new AudioTrack(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, frequency,

channelConfiguration, audioEncoding, playBufSize,

AudioTrack.MODE_STREAM);

recording/play thread:

byte[] buffer = new byte[recBufSize];

audioRecord.startRecording();//recording

audioTrack.play();//playback

while (isRecording) { // thread loop

//read from mic to buffer

int bufferReadResult = audioRecord.read(buffer, 0, recBufSize);

Log.d(TAG, "read bytes: " + bufferReadResult);

//play sound

audioTrack.write(buffer, 0, bufferReadResult);

}
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
Please use code tags:

type this:

[code]

int main(int argc,char *argv[]){

return 0;

}

[/code]

to get a nicely formated code block like this:

int main(int argc,char *argv[]){
return 0;
}

Much easier to read.

What is "strange" about the audio? Are you using the phone microphone? If so, I'd expect a lot of noise and low sound quality.
