Quantum is nice and fast :) I got a live wallpaper and it's doing well :)
[Epic 4G General] MojoSwag:
I keep switching back and forth between 2.1 and 2.2 Nebula with Ext4 and I have to say that overall, 2.1 with xtreme kernal and Syndicate is just as fast with great battery than the froyo roms. Although Nebula is performing great for me and I do have the occasional glitch from time to time, I think I'm gonna roll with it at least for another week

My wife was on baked snack 1.6 and i was running one of the dk28 roms my phone was smoking her phone. just saying. much quicker load times, better gps and battery.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Quantum is buggy. Probably not the developers fault, as most of the issues are DK28, but I have been running Quantum 2.7 since it came out and I certainly wouldn't use the words "nice" or "fast" to describe it. Also, some of the bugs are absolutely not DK28. I am trying to be very careful not to insult the developer, but the issues that his rom has makes me want to do awful things to my phone sometimes.
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
I know how you feel OP. I can barely stand using my Epic anymore cause of the sickness it causes. I feel I've been cheated by just buying the phone, thinking that it was gonna be updated with some sort of quickness. It's just depressing knowing that when you spend that much money and are stuck behind 2 O/S upgrades. Hopefully we will get something soon, but I'm not holding my breath.
[Epic 4G General] Superbovine:
The way people are around here the last month or so, I'm not sure if that first sentence is sincerity or sarcasm :p

I actually had no care or consideration for 2.2 when I bought the phone. Wasn't the least of my concerns. I just wanted the newest Sprint smartphone, and I couldn't use an Evo because A) needed a slide out keyboard for certain things that the popup wouldn't work and B) Evos are far more moisture sensitive due to their construction and it wouldn't have lasted a week for me.

Having tried 2.2 out though, it just feels more natural to me. Everyone is back and forth on the speed thing, and that really isn't it for me. 2.2 feels more natural in a lot of respects, both in form and function where 2.1 feels more half-completed. Like comparing a spiral staircase to an aluminum ladder.

My point was that it really does, as far as feeling like a completed unit, -make- the phone. There are glitches etc that aren't part of my consideration as I expect them to be Beta related. No doubt 2.1 is more solid and probably faster at some things than others... speed isn't really an issue for me unless you count the App lag and jitters... they suck.

But yeah, now that i've done side-by-sides of it, 2.2 (in a completed non Beta state) really is what the phone deserves. I'm hoping it does eventually happen.
[Epic 4G General] jtw78:
It's nice to know that the grass isn't necessarily greener on the other side. I'm sitting at stock and just waiting for 2.2 to drop. I have no problem rooting (I did the G1 bunches), but I just don't want to go to the trouble of rooting to find a different set of problems. As best I can tell that's what would happen. Even CM Beta 0 is buggy right now. I'll take the devil I know at this point. Thanks for sharing your story.
[Epic 4G General] hazridi:
How is Quantum buggy? I use Quantum 2.1 here without ext4 and I'm not getting any bugs. It's the best rom I've found to date. Froyo is way smoother on basically every single thing I've tried to do than the stock rom ever was.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
When I tap the power button to put the phone to sleep, it turns off the screen, pauses a second or two, then turns the screen back on with the lockscreen being displayed. It does this about 50% of the time. No other DK28 rom has done this for me, so its not DK28 that is causing this. The wifi toggle in the notification drop down causes errors probably 30% of the time with Wifi never turning on. There are SMS issues where it will freeze and not send messages. Friends have received multiple messages from me over and over for some reason.

I could go on, but I won't.
[Epic 4G General] rangerover_95:
The power off issue happens to me all the time, and I am running stock dk28, so I wouldnt rule out it being just quantum.

Go Ducks! Sent from my Samsung Epic 4G
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
i had the power button issue on dk28, quantam and bonsai, until i tried ext4. i havent had the issue since.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Interesting. I ran stock DK28 for a few weeks and it never happened to me. Maybe the bugs I thought were from Quantum were just DK28 being buggy. Its not that big of a deal, yet it infuriates me. Can't wait for official Froyo to be done. Please Samsung, please.
[Epic 4G General] hazridi:
Fair enough. I haven't seen any of those bugs except the wifi one, and that's only happened one time in the three weeks I've had Quantum on the phone. I would be pretty annoyed at messaging freezing or the power button not working.
[Epic 4G General] gosam:
That's what I have seen a few times lately. That's how it is now.
[Epic 4G General] HeXeD:
He didn't say you made the thread... he said "you" should make "another" thread to share your feelings. Stop being such a ****in baby. He's allowed to express his opinion just as much as you and the OP are allowed to express yours.

on topic: I sure wish they would release 2.2.1, but I am patiently waiting. Am I happy about it? No. But I'm not going to act like an idiot saying "I'm never buying samsung again!!" or "I'm never buying sprint again!". The funny thing is I bet half of you who say that are going too buy Samsung or sprint (or both) for your next phone. Also, they weren't "lying". They wanted to release something, had every intention fo making it happen, but when it came down to it, they just couldn't meet that deadline for technical reasons. If Sprint told you the Epic 4G you were about to buy has a 12MP camera, advertised it, and told their techs to represent that "fact" then THAT would be lying. Even worse are the people saying "SPRINT AND SAMSUNG ARE LIARS!!! BLAHHHHHH!!!" Being upset about not being deilvered something that was promised is one thing, but seriously, some people act as if Samsung and Sprint are Nazi sympathizers or something outlandish. The reaction should fit the crime, and acting like they have raped your newborn baby is a little over the top people..

So does anyone have any new information of which company actually has the issue? Sprint said they would release froyo for the epic shortly after the release, but Samsung said all USA galaxy s phones would have Froyo by the end of the year. (Which begs the question of how Sprint expected to release 2.2 shortly after launch while Samsung said it would take til the end of the year). From what I can tell is Samsung already has the OS ready, and has released it to the providers which means they kept their word. If the ball is in Sprint's court, then they are the ones who are dissappointing their fans. But if it is Samsung's rush of 2.2.1 to Sprint that caused bugs, then Samsung is to blame. All I know is one of these companies are more responsible for this delay than the other.

The bottom line is, This is the electronic world. I could name 50 companies that promised to release either an important update.. OR a piece of hardware that didn't deliver on time. It happens. Get used to it. It doesn't mean you have to like it, or accept it, but many of you could benefit from the thinking "Expect the worst, and hope for the best". Most of you seem to follow the thought of "Expect the best, and except nothing less", which will only leave you dissappointed over and over and over again. Quit buying electronics if you don't want to be dissapointed, and if you do, then don't say you weren't warned.

Holy **** dood!!! I just started experiencing the ear piece muting when i call people. i normally switch to speaker phone and then back. And the messaging thing plagues me every ****ing day. I just flashed back ti di18 so I'll see if i still experience this.
[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
@VeXeD- re whose court the ball is in, I believe it is Sprint, or at least they had it last, MAYBE they would need to send it back to Samsung saying 'were trying to tack on this Sprint ID and Bloat, its not working, can you make it work?'. I got mine sometime in the first week, from what I can remember heres the timeline, someone correct me if I am wrong...

1) From Launch- Sprint sales people, ads, etc. saying 2.2 will be out 'end of the month' or by Sept. or some variant of that Playbook bull****. (sorry to sprint people who DONT have their heads up their asses) Most Sprint sales don't know ****... and their 'information' is sales driven, not fact driven.

2) Sometime after that does not drop, and all the other SGS users smell **** too, Sammy says by the end of the year. There were, I believe other rumors, etc... but that was a supposed 'official' statement... although, I seem to remember that it was a tweet or some retarded social networking bull**** that passes as news these days that said 'the Galaxy S will have froyo by end of year', so some here were speculating it was referring to the international model, or because it was from Canadas SGS tweet/FB/Myspace/Friendster... (neopets page maybe?). So anyways, vague.

3) At some point, maybe oct/nov Samsung said they would or did deliver to carriers at some certain time, i think by sometime in NOV, as that is when we started getting leaks... right?

4) If I remember correctly, the leaks previous to DK28, were from sprint employees, implying its no longer Samsungs fault, then DK28 came off Google Code, so again, not Samsung....

5) After DK28, being as it didnt crash upon boot, there was all kinds of speculation as to whether it was final, then after a couple weeks when that was obviously not it, there were some insiders keeping us abreast of each test build coming out every couple days, and that the people working on it were pretty convinced that that was final, but after a week there would be a new one, so I guess they failed QC

6) Then, there was the Dec.26 launch rumor, which MAY have been a plan, after seeing the new phone, sprint has done dumber things than push out an update over the holidays. Everyone was excited, it came and went.

7) Then the new year came, and the promise Samsung made, Sprint did not deliver.

8) Aside from pranks or speculation, we havent heard ****, other than some feb date, but I dont know where that came from, maybe their 'big announcement'? Idunno... but I didnt bother to look into it anymore.

9) My guess is our informants were tired of being complained to when their insider info never came to fruition, maybe some of the Devs DO have a final, and are waiting for Official (OTA, not DK28 as it was sold as official), Maybe they are doing gingerbread??? Whatever...

So does it really sound like Samsung's fault??? I really think nobody wants to blame Sprint, as they dont want to pay for VZ wireless, and they dont want ****ty GSM.

Just my observations...
[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
Oh and theres the rumor of Samsung holding 2.2.1 for ransom... but only Elvis knows for sure.
[Epic 4G General] Ex0d0s:
It's Samsung and Sprint's fault. Both said they were going to deliver and they haven't. Be that Sprint's bloatware is at fault or that Samsung has slowpoke developers.

I'm not saying this to leave Sprint or never to buy a Samsung phone but I definitely want Sprint and Samsung to know that as a consumer they have failed many of us, and we sure payed a lot of money for a phone that has a lot of bugs that can be resolved by an open source Android OS upgrade. They have the source code, they should give it to us ASAP.
[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
I think Samsung should have pressured sprint to push it out as soon as they handed it off to them ( a long time ago), so they could make even more sales on these devices before the Nexus S and SGS2's come out... and of course if for some insane reason this was really on Samsung's table right now, Sprint should have done the same, said where the **** is it? But it would seem that somebody doesnt seem to care about upgrading devices when there is another around the corner. I doubt it is Samsung, I think its Sprint... and it would seem they favor the inferior Evo's over the Epic as well. I dont see any logical reason for Samsung to NOT capitalize on the last 5 months even MORE by withholding an update, I DO see Sprint trying to push the Evo in some MS Junkbox style agreement... That thing is old news, and is still plastered all over the sprint store window, used to be a couple EVO posters, now its the EVO and Shift.... Maybe HTC holds Sprint's little hand more thru the software process... maybe they say give us the bloat and we will do the work for you. I just do not see samsung making the dumb moves sprint proved to us they will do like the big announcement of a phone that should have been out a couple years ago.

Samsung produced kick ass hardware, between them we are lacking in Software, that usually goes thru Sprint last... where do you really think the problem lies? Again, it would be nice if it were as easy as switching to an inferior HTC phone, as opposed to switching carriers, especially if you have grown to love Sprint over the years, (as I have) and now realise they have been on a gradual downhill slope. Sucks, but hopefully somebody else will appreciate affordable unlimited plans and hardware keyboards!

As far as Samsung failing to deliver, they delivered the software to Sprint, as they normally do, what, two months after launch, maybe 3? A little late, but better than Sprint... and they had how many SGS iterations to write code for??? Sprint cant figure out one????

I wouldnt doubt it if Samsung was up Sprints ass about this, but they cant publicly, that would be like Sony telling bethesda they wont allow another game from them if they dont patch and DLC Fallout at the same rate as M$ junk systems... they cant **** on someone who makes money for them, however crappy of a business partner they are.
[Epic 4G General] relic419:
I went back to 2.1 sometime last week; had been on 2.2 since the first leak (October?). Have to say, 2.1 is currently a much better experience for me than DK28. I do miss it too though, but I got tired of instability issues.
[Epic 4G General] megabiteg:
For everyone that's trying to compare 2.1 to 2.2: your wrong on both ways!

Tell me, how can you judge a final build vs an alfa or beta or rc? That's just unfair.... that's to not be done and until 2.2 is official comparing and bentchmarks don't mean a thing!

[Epic 4G General] relic419:
I think it's more to do with the fact that a lot of people keep telling others to just use DK28 and stop *****ing. The point is, DK28 is not ready for prime time. But, based on my usage, I'm pretty sure a fully baked Froyo build would be considerably better than Eclair.

TL;DR: We're comparing what we HAVE now.
[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
Hey I just went to check my bill, and saw the POS Intercept was going for free with upgrade online... and it got 2.2 like 2 weeks ago! Weak.
[Epic 4G General] vita10gy:
It's also available on Virgin Moblie, which uses Sprint, for $25 a month, with unlimited data, and after taxes and everything. No contract.

Phone would be $170 at Best Buy rather than free, but you'd make that up in a couple months, especially now that all data plans are $10 more*. Sometimes I wonder if what I pay is worth it. :)

*Did that come to pass?

Hi all :)

Noticed this at xmas but got sidetracked and never brought it up.... until i tried to send a bulk txt this morning !

I have UK defy unlocked with t-mobile, stock ROM but rooted.

When i try to send bulk text messages they ALL fail!! i have to manually resend each one multiple times until i discovered that you need to resend them one at a time, but let each one actually finish sending before moving on to the next.

WTF??? is all i have to say about that...

has anyone else experienced this issue? any ideas how to resolve?

thanx :)

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thermoska:
it is unix /linux stuff

currenly we are locked out to SE kernel, so you "just" have to mak froyo compatible to SE kernel .

It means to optimize , change, recompile modules, "drivers" and so on, of course debuging ,

okey, my question to you is i can take what ever rom i want out there and install it from xrecovery, and it will run? Becouse this is what i am wondering, how i can port another rom to x10. Ofc the bugs comes after but thats another thing i have to search for.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thermoska:
sorry, but everything was answered in my previous post

NO you can not.

Every phone have a different hardware, software modification is requred.You have to modifi "drivers" to the current hardware. I think you are Windows boy so better example is :Will your nvidia card works on ATI drivers ?

First you have know a bit more than basics from unix / linux world, like :

modules

kernel

drivers

libraries

filesystems

swap

mount points ... and so on ..

I can see you are not home in Linux /unix thema , if you will understand the basic rules from linux world, then just port your knowledge to the android.

And voila you are ready to cook .

Remeber there are many people with big knowledge and willingness to help. Just ask them, imho unix/linux people share their knowledge with hapiness .

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttf:
I don't think he intended to disrespect. He is right when he say, the more you know about linux, the easier it'll be.

Anyway, the first step will be to change drivers for hardware support depending of your hardware.

As he said start with the kitchen from unlocker. And with that, all question you have will be answered here: http://developer.android.com/index.html
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiL3nTKiLL:
good info :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compumasta:
I really dont think hes openly trying to insult your intellect and what he says is correct. Before you get to the actual porting and modifying your going to need some programming skills and a good understanding of how drivers and such work and how they can be modified. Remember that the idea is to get the software to talk to the hardware. Its unfortunately not as simple as just taking files and making a change here or there and then including that in your rom files.

Not trying to say dont learn it, just need to know where to start your journey of learning.

Happy programming! (Which is good because i have done programming and hate it with a passion)

Edit: also remember that a knowledge of linux IS the problem as android is simply linux.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thermoska:
I do not want to disrespect your intelect or knowledge or harm you in any way ..

I only want to explain you what you can wait and what you will need.

As ttf said you need to modify hardware drivers first.(btw I said it before too), These drivers have to be modified to the actual X10 hardware, but also to our current kernel!

froyo have 2.32 kernel by default our x10 have 2.29(+ modified by SE).

Cyanogen have its own kernel and CM Rom will never work on its full beaty without CM Kernel . (if it is possible it will take enourmos time and effort)

lost.dir is a filesystem folder, (kinda like if you realy explore and ntfs drive, you'll find a SystemVolume folder, and a few other ones).
