[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] montecristo1:
According to their website, Simple Mobile is only for GSM. We all know that the Evo is CDMA. Here is what it states:

* Make sure it is a GSM phone

* Make sure it is unlocked

* For 3G, make sure your phone supports the 1700Mhz band

The website also states the SIM kit which you have to purchase for is 12.99...the Evo does not have a slot to insert a SIM card.

Besides, SM offers text, talk and web with 100mb for $50- metro offers more for $50- including unlimited LTE 4g web, navigation, and unlimited international texting

I am using a Sprint HTC Evo flashed over to metro pcs... no 4G. I read somewhere because Sprint is Wimax and Metro is LTE- it won't work.

Should be possible, if you know your MSL code you can use ##3283# from the dialer to get to the settings.

I was installing a new verison of a rom I had previously on my phone, did the wipe 3x, then installed. Now my phone just hangs at the samsun startup screen. somebody help please
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
What rom?...
[Epic 4G General] hoop07:
nebula 1.0.7 from 1.0.5
[Epic 4G General] hoop07:
I can boot into recovery and download , but not sure where to go from here
[Epic 4G General] running_the_dream:
You could flashing a different rom. Or Odin to stock then reflash the rom
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Do you have any backups that you can restore from? You can also try to flash it again and see how that goes. If nothing else you can use odin

[Epic 4G General] hoop07:
how can i use odin to flash a rom? How can I add roms to my phone? It wont mount
[Epic 4G General] running_the_dream:
You don't use Odin to flash a rom. You use it to flash stock kernal and modem. I mean, you could either try doing the wipe and flash a different rom. Or Odin to dk28, then flash a rom. If your phone won't mount, just stick the sd card in your computer (if you have the slot)
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
Do you want stock eclair 2.1 or leaked froyo 2.2.1?

To odin (flash) to froyo (even if you had eclair installed, you can use this to upgrade) follow these instructions

Download the required .tar file

Download Odin

Open up Odin and put your phone into “download mode”

Turn off your phone, wait until the lights turn off

Hold “1″ on the keyboard while powering up

Plug your device in

Place the .tar file in the PDA slot

Start flashing

Congratulations! You now have Android 2.2.1 Froyo (DK28) on your Samsung Epic 4G from Sprint!

Alternatively to odin (flash) back to eclair 2.1 you can follow the exact same steps from above except use this .tar instead

Download the required .tar file

Download Odin

Open up Odin and put your phone into “download mode”

Turn off your phone, wait until the lights turn off

Hold “1″ on the keyboard while powering up

Plug your device in

Place the .tar file in the PDA slot

Start flashing

Congratulations! You now have Android 2.1 Eclair (Di18) on your Samsung Epic 4G from Nextel!

[Epic 4G General] abrognlie:
I had the same thing happen to me when I first installed Nebula 1.0.7. I was able to fix it simply by booting back into CW and re-flashing the rom. Hope this helps you out.
[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
This is your best bet. You have Nebula on your SD, boot in CW, reflash right over what you got. It should boot. If not you have no choice but to Odin to stock then try again.
[Epic 4G General] hoop07:
I downloaded the 2.2 odin script, try to load into odin and it keeps giving me checksum and image path errors. any ideas? Also invalid image error
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:

[Epic 4G General] hoop07:
Now it says check image files
[Epic 4G General] hoop07:
ok got past that, now it says write operation failed
[Epic 4G General] hoop07:
nevermind, its going now. Lets hope this works!!! Thanks in advance to everybody that took the time to help
[Epic 4G General] hoop07:
and its back!! now my last question, will I need to do anything else to try installing roms again? Like do I need to flash the modem or anything like that?
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
To stay with stock dk28 (not recommended because it isn't stable), you don't need to odin anything other than the tar I described.

For custom roms, you will need to reroot using the one click method described here.

This will install clockworkmod recovery 3.0.0.5 which will also reformat your phone to ext4. After this, you can flash your custom ext4 dk28 rom of choice (I like bonsai).
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
When you Odin, you already get the modem.

I am being issued an Aria by ATT to replace my Alltel Hero.

How do you all like your Aria? Does it run smooth with stock ROM and Sense?

My Hero was kinda sluggish and I ended up putting Cyanogenmod on it. I am looking forward to going back to Sense with my new Aria.
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
Love it!!!!!!!
[HTC Aria General] nikolo98:
I love my Aria. I've been on the stock ROM since day one and I've updated my unit to the stock Froyo ROM. I have to say its pretty slick and runs quite smooth for the most part. If you're using it primarily for work, I don't think it'll be much to complain about. I do have to note at this point, my phone isn't an AT&T phone so I don't have all that bloatware :)

I hope you enjoy your Aria as much as I do mine.
[HTC Aria General] vicmora5:
I had no problem with the stock htc sense it worked perfectly and was very fast imo. I just wanted to mess around with the phone so i rooted and flashed it. But I have no problem with the stock (:
[HTC Aria General] BuckMulligan:
I love mine. I recommend rooting it and flashing a custom ROM - Liberated Aria if you like the stock Sense UI, CyanogenMod if you want to have more of a standard Android experience - to take full advantage of the phone.But either way, stock or modified, the thing is a joy to own and use.
[HTC Aria General] sjmik:
Haven't had this phone for very long, but I already love it.

Comparing this to the iPhone and Samsung Captivate, I would choose this simply for its size.

Just put on Liberated Froyo.

It was quite simple to do, and now I don't have att's **** stuck on it, and I can actually install apps.

I would highly recommend this phone, that is, if you don't want to wait for the new ones that should be coming out soon.
[HTC Aria General] DPLOY:
Solid construction and relaiable - I never turn mine off. I use it when working out - sometimes intensly (Triat training). It has taken some spills and keeps on rollin!

Definately use one of the ROMs found on these forums - I choose Liberated Froyo.

I would also recommend a CPU tuner as some apps are a little slow & jittery on the Aria (ie Angry Birds) - I use Overclock Widget to control the CPU and it has solved all the jittery apps.
[HTC Aria General] lollipox:
a little small but it has its advantages for being its size, to be honest i get a little tired of typing messages on this screen.

stock rom runs great, att bloatware sucks, rooting it is a piece of cake for this phone though and attn's liberated froyo is even more awesome than stock.

overall no problems, used it for about 7 months now, just a little annoyed at the small screen.
[HTC Aria General] Plasmamuffins:
This phone is amazing. I'm extremely happy with it. And it even has gingerbread thanks to the guys over at cyanogenmod. :D
[HTC Aria General] johdaxx:
It's great to be able to run Froyo-only apps on the roms here...otherwise the stock one is competent.
[HTC Aria General] banone76:
Excellent phone. Like everyone else has said, it's great stock, or rooted. Very smooth. I choose to run CM7 nightly's, overclocked to 864mhz with profiles. Just like butter!
[HTC Aria General] dmwagner:
Thanks guys, I am so looking forward getting my Aria. It sounds like a pretty decent upgrade over the CDMA Hero.

This Liberated Froyo ROM, does it have a webpage with all the features it has?

And you can overclock these things to 864mhz? My Hero is slightly overclocked, like 528 to 620 something with CM6 ROM.
[HTC Aria General] jdwhite87:
Yes you CAN oc it up to 864. But nothing above 806 is recommended. I usually keep my maximum at 767 but it runs just fine at the stock speed of 600.
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
The liberated froyo from is HTC Sense Froyo (2.2) without the bloatware.

[HTC Aria General] LeRome:
great little phone, not the most powerful, but for its size, it packs everything you need, and plenty speedy. especially with the cm and liberated roms which makes the experience even better.
[HTC Aria General] pcrat:
Love it. No lock ups Yet, ive flashed a few different custom roms, and i do like liberty one the best.

so far.

but yes good phone.
[HTC Aria General] tribestros:
It's an amazing phone. If you have a Hero, it's the same size, so you won't notice much of a difference. Everyone says it's not very powerful, well, it's a beast on it's own right, especially if you overclock it to 806mHz (I'd recommend that, any more is too fast and drains life of the processor), and it's a piece of cake to modify! CM7 is the best, CM6.1.1 is good as well. If you like Sense, I'd recommend Liberated Eclair, and not Liberated Froyo. Liberated Froyo's battery will last you eight hours if lucky.

The only issues I have are the fact it's quite easy to chip/shatter the glass and the battery life is weak unless you use CM, imo.
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
Notice your mix of applications and usage pattern will affect battery life. I am running Liberated FR008 with the HTC HK kernel and I can easily get over 20 hours of usage out of a charge. I have 3 emails accounts with background sync always on; 1 using MS Exchange, one using Hotmail and the third is my Gmail account. I always run with wifi turned on since I have access points at both home and work and I also have BT turned on.
[HTC Aria General] mcaxrb71:
The only things I'm not crazy about with my Aria are the lack of a flash for the camera and weak external speaker. But this wasn't a high-end phone when I bought it and I knew I wouldn't be getting those features. At the time of purchase I only paid $30USD for the phone, so it was still a great deal.

It has been extremely durable, I don't have any sort of case or screen protector and it still shines up like new. I just got around to rooting and putting custom roms on, which I think made my enjoyment level for the phone double.
[HTC Aria General] dmwagner:
The phone showed up yesterday and I was playing around with it last night over WiFi as our ATT network isn't activated yet here.

I am pretty impressed with the phone. I plan on rooting it once it's activated so I can use Wired Tether with my Google CR-48.

I see you can't root the newest ATT 2.2 update, so it will have to be Liberated Froyo.
[HTC Aria General] TheFurnace:
A few questions

First off, congratulations on your new phone!

Did your new Aria show up with the update pre-installed? Also, was it new from AT&T or did you get it from another source?

Just rooted and installed CM7RC2 and am loving it. Noobish question, can one install liberated ROMs without being rooted? I thought having the device rooted was the way to override the system?
[HTC Aria General] wantabe:
Enjoy your new phone! I also have a new Aria, for 3 days now! Moved from windows mobile to this and I have to say that I'm impressed. With the stock configuration, speed and lack of any lag was surprising considering the size and hardware specs. Now having said that I have to admit I couldn't leave well enough alone! Root-Liberated Aria 2.2.2-Overclocked to 787. Wow!!! Now it remains to be seen how many extra batteries I have to buy. ;)
[HTC Aria General] dmwagner:
It was brand new shipped from AT&T and it has 2.1 on it. I would be ok with just leaving it stock except:

-that I want to use Wired Tethering on it with my Google CR-48 netbook

-I want to rid it of all the AT&T bloatware

-I will fill the phone very quickly with apps and would want to install to the SD Card

So, rooting it is looking to be in my future and running that Liberate Firmware and overclocking it as well.
[HTC Aria General] wantabe:
Sounds like you have the right idea. To be honest I did notice an overall improvement in performance (no complaints about stock performance) just by going to Liberated 2.2.2 before overclocking. I would think getting rid of all the AT&T crapware helps the performance quite a bit. There's so much of it. The only thing from AT&T I have left is AT&T Hot Spots. The only problem I have is using the keyboard with clown thumbs, it's kicking my butt! It's going to take some getting used to.
[HTC Aria General] TheFurnace:
Yeah, definitely the right idea there. Personally, I am relieved that the att bloatware is gone. More room for my apps!

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kms108:
i only got it yesterday, so it will have to go through a few charge/discharge cycle before i can comment.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kms108:
brief info on the amount of power in the battery with it's first charge.

when i got the battery, it had about 76% power in it, it took about an hour to full charge.

i had the phone on till now with wifi turned on, apart from about 4hours without wifi connected (wifi is still on at all time on the phone), its roughly about 28 hrs now and i still have 64% power left in my phone.

while wifi is on, it auto checks for email every 15minutes and with the little internet browsing.

update: 38hrs with 16% power left. (moderate use of internet browsing)

update approximate 40 hrs with 4% power left, before i charged the phone.

i dont trust them.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Ambrosix:
Well, I gotta say these 1900mAh batteries caught my eye, and I decided to take a chance at buying one of them. For barely 7€ it ain't that much of a risk anyways. I'll keep you guys updated whenever I get it (max 30 days according to the vendor).

I'm still interested in the Momax one tho, the back plate is the only extended one that hasn't made my eyes bleed so far and 2700mAh must be sweet.

Any complete review ? =)

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kms108:

No matter how many time i look at the momax battery. It look 2x the size of the original.

But people here is saying it is thinner. Can someone confirm the thickness of momax 2700 battery ?

Maybe take a photo with a ruler or stack 2 battery together to compare.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Tatsuya79:
It's 15mm vs original 10mm, and that's on the battery part (top of the phone is the same).

Bought 2 on ebay and waiting for them. Your reviews are great, finally a real deal (and not "chinese mAh" :rolleyes: ).

can this be made available to India for Galaxy GT i9003?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] CzarDestructo:
Alright I've had this battery for a week now, used it for a few days of conferences and general day to day usage. It's pretty awesome. It definitely makes power user usage much more palatable with this phone, I can't kill the battery in a day unless I REALLY try or play games all day.

I have to say though, the battery cover is trash. I'll try and get a photo tonight but the top (around the USB and headphone jack) never fit right and it's already cracking and I have yet to drop or abuse it. Not sure what I'm suppose to do with the battery once the cover is totally destroyed. They have some serious quality issues.

I'd say hold off on buying one of these, the battery isn't much good without a quality back cover. Has anyone gotten them to send them just a new cover?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] greeny2010:
Yes, the casing looks fragile. I wonder if there is a jelly-case for this battery.

Not glad to hear this, can't we use a silicon case without cover?

Perhaps some of those could stretch a bit.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] lokhor:
Strange how so many people are having issues with the case cracking. I've had mine for a while now and haven't been able to see any cracks. I generally keep my phone in the slip case though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kms108:
with the sudden shock, pressure or drop, anything thing will crack, i'm sure these case have more chances of crack because the inside is hollow, when compared to the oem ones which are pressed firmly againes the contour of the phone, my best bet is to put super glue inside the cases to make it stronger.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] gschier:
I agree. I haven't seen any sign of cracking at all. I am curious to know what sort of usage is generating these cracks. I could see if the battery cover is being removed constantly, but other than that I don't see how a crack could occur.

Make Your Own Battery Cover?

This is just an idea that came to me. Not sure if anyone wants to give it a shot.

I was thinking there might be an "easy" way to make one out of a regular battery cover. If you don't want to ruin your original battery cover, you can buy a cheap one off Ebay, although I recommend not going too cheap because you will regret it. Here are the steps that might result in something that's usable.

- cut a hole in the battery cover so the Momax battery can stick through

- find something plastic, and cut it up to make a cube to cover the protruding battery

- superglue your cur plastic pieces together and then superglue them to the backplate

- apply Bondy (automotive filler) to the backplate to mimic the general shape of the Momax cover

- sand down the Bondo until it is smooth and symmetric

- paint it your favorite color!

I am thinking of trying this when I get some time so let me know what you think! Be sure to make some suggestions on how I can improve it as well.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Tatsuya79:
That sounds nice! tell me when you start mass production! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] CzarDestructo:
For the nay-sayers, I've had this phone for almost a year with the stock back cover and don't even have a SCRATCH on it yet. I take very good care of it. I have a dedicated pocket, only thing that goes in it is my phone, but it's in my pocket all day.

I've fairly sure it's the contortion of the phone thats the issue. Being in my pocket and pressed against my leg all day I'm sure its twisted and bend slightly on a regular basis. Thats normally fine, the phone is made of plastic and designed for this. The cheap quality, poorly formed plastic doesn't have the elasticity for this. All the small cracks that are showing up are from hard angles in the cover's characteristics. The first crack showed up in the corner of the battery door, the second showed up in the corner of the lanyard port.

Either way, poor material quality and bad injection molding.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] CzarDestructo:
Bondo is HEAVY. I was considering making a negative mold of the Momax battery cover and then setting a new battery cover in it out of carbon fiber or fiberglass. Lot of work though, not sure I want to spend that kind of time on it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] gschier:
Ya I thought about that too, but it would be pretty hard to get an exact mold. The one thing I don't like about the replacement backplate I have is that it doesn't fit perfectly. As for the weight of Bondo, I don't think it will add that much, as we would only need 1-2 cubic inches.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] lokhor:
This might just be wishful thinking but would it be possible for a battery manufacturer to make an extended battery that wasn't so fat and instead kind of extended in a thin layer up over where the simcard etc are so that it didn't make the back of the SGS so huge.
