the day i have no choice or phone batteries are nuclearly supercharged to last a week on a charge is the day I'll buy a dual core or quad core phone ... these new advancements and "features" make phones look more and more like computers

The game of chasing the most recent technology NEVER ends. Someone just needs to find a gadget that can settle for a while.

But it does feels excited to watch technolgies are getting more and more possible due to simply market competitions etc. That is essentially how we evolve.

Personally, you just need to try a dual core device like streak 7's speed before deciding if you need it. (maybe you don't, but try it! it will please you so much!)

[Vibrant General] bstes1:
Dual core processing in a Tablet with a 7 inch or larger screen is an awesome idea and probably a necessary step to propel the technology to the next level. In a smartphone with a 4 inch or smaller screen I am not so sure its justified. I use my Vibrant and my MT4G for about everything you could use a smartphone for, between work and personal usage I don't think I have ever really taxed the hardware of either.

Also with regards to dual cores using less power than single cores, I have to respectfully disagree. While you can get more Performance per Watt or "bang for the buck" with dual cores, they do consume more power than a single core of the same microprocessor architecture and operational speed. The benefits are from the new CPU architecture not the fact that they are "multi-core" chips. A single core chip of the same fabrication process at the same speed would consume less power. Each processing core requires power to function. Although with sharing the on chip resources multi-core CPU's are typically much more efficient.

All things considered if there is not an increase in price and the dual core smartphones are still around $500US then I have to say a big, WHY NOT. If there is, however a price increase on the multi-core with a single core solution available at a lessor price I would probably go for the cheaper single core rig.

Progress is always good, and the want for better always outweighs the need for more
[Vibrant General] iscrewup:
Don't see the necessity of a dual core processor on a phone. They should spend more R&D into battery technology.
[Vibrant General] illego:
Yes I need dual core because my epeen can never be big enough.
[Vibrant General] erod188:
Yeah the obvious is that you get more power with dual core but you also.get a smoother phone more more potential for awesome apps and not to mention some better battery life if.im not. Mistaken.
[Vibrant General] Slashazard:
I don't think we NEED dual cores yet, as it is still young in smartphones. I'm going to wait until some time passes and apps are more optimized for multiple cores. They'll probably have the quad cores out by then, though...
[Vibrant General] svladimir:
Of course we do need them.

Android is a multitasking OS, which means multiple (tens) threads run simultaneously. You may not notice it, but the load will be distributed amongst 2 cores, instead of having a single core switching between tasks all the time.

Which potentially means longer battery life.

Now if the smart phone industry are gonna try to take on the netbook platform then I can truly see why the need for dual core devices is there. Kinda like the atrix but at a better price point I get it other wise invest the money into the battery which has always been a major complaint.

Got a second hand Samsung Vibrant for ~250. Vibrant really isn't all that anymore to justify the price. I'm gonna wait for one with a keyboard and dual processor and snag it when the next best thing comes out.

I wholeheartedly agree. One thing that pushed me over the edge with the android over an iPhone was flash support, but I disable flash by default and haven't used it in the last six months....jobs might have been right on this one
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:

[Vibrant General] Henchman:
Android isn't optimized yet for dual cores, if I'm correct.

So, it's not a fair comparison.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
but we DO need 2 testicles.
[Vibrant General] Henchman:
Personally, I think they really need to be designing these phones to have the whole backside be a thin battery with twice the available power.

Let's be honest. a 1500mah battery just doesn't doi it for these media devices.

[Vibrant General] S0NiX0928:
...

It's unfortunate that the cellphone companies supplying Android phones seem to suggest that hardware is all that matters in innovation. I, however, feel that the need to flesh out their software a bit more to optimize and get the most out of single core processor phones before making the leap to double.

That, and Google really needs to get their act together and resolve the Android fragmentation issues... Set some standards and guidelines in certain areas of the operating system. Keep it open for other apps to replace the core components of the phone, but don't let the cellphone manufacturers like Samsung worry more about locking down the phone for their interests and spoil consistency of the phone's experience thru manipulated OS's. I don't understand how the Android OS is going to be able to compete once Apple has made enough money to start turning the iPhone into even more of the iPod in terms of product success and availability to the mainstream. I feel like the iPhone is significantly more stable but I definitely value the openness of the Android market equally so. I feel like Android has so much untapped potential but it still isn't even being remotely applied.

Okay, got a little off track there but I do feel this problem is only going to get worse unless it is addressed in some manner by Google.

And sorry for starting to sound like a grumpy old fart... something I shouldn't be feeling the need to defend myself for at only 22. Guess my disappointment towards purchasing my Vibrant and extending my contract with T-mobile is really mounting up... =S

[Epic 4G General] Electrofreak:
Thanks, I've been looking for a teardown like this. Would have been nice to see the screen and capacitive buttons removed but I've heard it's quite difficult (according to a Sprint tech that worked on mine and ultimately sent for a replacement).
[Epic 4G General] spiicytuna:
WOW! He makes it looks so easy! haha Still not for the faint of heart...
[Epic 4G General] asj2583:
Nice find! Think it was me who found the site but didn't see this which is great as it will guide me into replacing the part I need. Thanx! Think this should be stickied as well as the site in case anyone need parts and video guide.
[Epic 4G General] ZHkilla:
Pretty cool, thanks for sharing that.
[Epic 4G General] Gersonian:
Like I said to asj, this is also a great find. If I keep this phone nearly as long as I had my Vogue, I will definitely need this, as I pretty much rebuilt my vogue from the ground up because it was cheaper than getting a new one at the time (it's a long story how a family member stole my upgrade - another classic Sprint fu** up).

Taking apart phones and small electronics is frightening, but it can be a ton of fun. If you have an old phone lying around that you don't use I highly recommend taking a shot at dis- and reassembling it just for the experience. Make sure you have all the right tools before you get started and have an easy way to catalogue all of the pieces and keep them in order while you are doing the tear down.

Just don't do it on a phone that doesn't need it or that you do need!
[Epic 4G General] shiftr182:
I took mine apart last night. Not too bad. It took me about 20 mins to take apart and put back together. Still trying to find a way to tighten the slider? I will take the screen apart tonight to get the slider out of the rails. hopefully that will help.
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
Can they make a video on how to put it back together
[Epic 4G General] asj2583:
Just do everything in reverse or start with the video guide at the end and work your way to the front :D
[Epic 4G General] asj2583:
Shouldn't be to hard to take apart, as with working in a car is all about having the right tools and not taking short cuts. Since I was younger I always took stuff apart so it comes naturaly to me disassembing and assembing stuff.

It's one of the reasons why I keep coming back here is to learn things about the Epic phone.

[Epic 4G General] boy143878:
I took mine apart hoping to find a way to fix the screen wobble but could not figure it out. When I lie down and have the phone facing me, keyboard closed, you can hear the tapping everytime I hit the screen. Really annoying.

If anyone finds a way please post it. Thnx.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] wachalookinat:
Hey everyone, A while back I was using a rom which included a translucent dialer. I think it was trigger or more likely loki. I switched roms up and got everything dialed in the way I like but I really miss the translucent dialer look. Was wondering, is there a way to get a flashable zip to achieve this? I realise it would probably mess with any other theme that you may have installed previously. Or is there possibly a way to just push the dialer through manually with say, adb or something of that sort? If you havent seen the translucent dialer, your missing it out. It makes for an awesome look. I wish I had a scrreny to show, but Im sure someone in here has gotta know what Im talking about?! :p Any advice on how I can get that dialer pushed, or cw'd to my vib would be greatly appreciated! Thanks allot everyone
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rel500:
Have you tried pulling the dialer from the previous rom and pushing it on your current rom ?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Romeo20:
did you find one

I got a dialer zip file if you still searching
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] wachalookinat:
I am still looking, I didn't have much luck pulling it from another rom. I would greatly appreciate it :)

[Galaxy Spica General] buttwad:
Excuse my ignorance. I have or rather the wife has a spica which is unlocked and is running eclair.xxjh1/samdroid 1.3.1 d with kernal 2.6.29 leshak.

My question is how can I install apps/games on it. I put the apk file onto the sd card and it says no applications can perform this action.

The apk files come from my galaxy s, which installs and runs ok

Please point me in the right direction.

Thanks guys.
[Galaxy Spica General] PsHegger:
First of all you should install apps from the market. If it's impossible for some reason you should use ES File Explorer which can install APKs. You can have it from samdroid.net using the kitchen
[Galaxy Spica General] Knuffibaer:
You can try to install it with the android toolkit. Works great on my phone.

You can find tons of howto's on the web. Just search for "adb install apk" at google.

The installation can be a little bit tricky because you have to install the java sdk which is sometimes not recogniced by the setup of the android sd kit. Just a tip. Press back and forward. Then it should be recogniced.

The other tricky part is getting it running. You have to mess around with your windows path variable.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] edirector:

On one market alone I went through almost 600 utilities, It was slideme you will find it on the viewsonic website under favorites. ENJOY!!!:)

:o WARNING: My English isn't good as all of you! :o I'm not responsible of anything related to your phone!!!

:o WARNING: My English isn't good as all of you! :o Since I'm not forcing you to do this method,

:o WARNING: My English isn't good as all of you! :o You have to take any risk that you might have to face!!!

:o WARNING: My English isn't good as all of you! :o

:o WARNING: My English isn't good as all of you! :o Again! I'm not responsible for ANYTHING!!! unless if it's my phone!!!

THIS WILL NOT FIX "RANDOM SHUTDOWN" ISSUE ON

EVERY SINGLE CAPTIVATE

::: If your phone's last 4 digits of IMEI # is lower than 5394, I recommend you to call AT&T Service center for a replacement :::

This is my phone's detail:

Model #: SAMSUNG-SGH-I897

Firmware: 2.2.1

Baseband: I9000UGJK4

Kernel: 26.32.9 hardcore@speedmod-i897-kl2t-500hz # 102

Build: Serendipity 5.5

IMEI #: 1010

This is what I did:

-First-

Download Odin3 One-Click STOCK Downloader

Open the file that you just downloaded

-Second-

Turn on DEBUGGING MODE (Settings>Applications>Developing> USB Debugging)

-Third-

Plug-in your phone to your computer with USB

*** if computer cannot recognize your phone download Windows 64bit/32bit USB driver ***

-Fourth-

Once Odin have recognized your phone,

Click START button to install STOCK version of Captivate

< Don't close Odin, since you will be using it again later >

-Fifth-

Once your phone is booted,

Turn on DEBUGGING MODE again (Have to disconnect USB first),

Since every settings have been reseted to default

-Sixth-

Plug-in your device to your computer,

And click on MASTER CLEAR button (This will delete everything on your phone)

-Seventh-

After phone was refreshed,

Turn off the device...

Then hold both Volume +/- buttons together,

And hold power button until AT&T screen comes up

-Eighth-

* Now you are in "recovery mode" *

"Volume +/-" = move up/down "Power Button" = select/enter

Using Volume +/- key, highlight WIPE DATE/FACTORY RESET, and press power button...

Now select "YES" if it ask for permission

(Now repeat this "8th"process about 3-5 times)

-Ninth-

* Similar to step 8th *

Using Volume +/- key, highlight WIPE CACHE PARTITION, and press power button...

Now select "YES" if it ask for permission

(Now repeat this "9th"process about 3-5 times)

-Tenth-

This might not solve any issues on your phone, but it's worth a try...

But, if it works...

Please finish this last step, by pressing "THANKS" button on the button of this thread!!!!

>>> If you are going to download a ROM after this <<<

>>> I recommend you to do same thing after installing any ROM <<<
​
[Captivate General] A.VOID:
OR you can do what I did >>>

Call AT&T and get a replacement that is supposed to be fixed out of the box ;)
[Captivate General] peurocs4:
Yes, you could... Like I said at the top...

But for my case... I replaced 4times already (mostly same issue), and AT&T and Android department wouldn't provide anymore replacement!

So I have to send it to Samsung Department, which I don't want to take any risk of getting caught (Even if I download back to STOCK, I'm afraid)

So, this is the way that I figured out! :D

You don't, of course, have to use this method...

I'm sharing it, since it worked for me!

Random Shutdown fix for recall Captivate

I have one of the old "factory reconditioned" AT&T I897 phones. I don't know what they reconditioned but it wasn't the hardware, so after flashing custom kernels and roms etc., it started to randomly shut down. After tinkering alot, I found a 2-combo fix: I have to make sure that the CPU is set at 200 Mhz minimum freq. (might take a few tries after restarting the phone to make sure the setting sticks), and the second (might be a CM thing) is to make sure I don't kill Package Access Helper, don't ask me why.

I installed the ROM void (# echo) on my phone. It's really fast and stable.

I've been reading some forums and the possibility of creating a visual theme through UOTKitchen. I installed the Gingerbread theme that brings void within their modules and tried to create a theme using the framework of Gingerbread, just that I get an error with the PNG (.9 and others).

Someone solved the problem?

Could create a theme?

[Optimus One, P500, V General] anotherloony:
Void and Devoid use a hybrid framework. Noejn explain somewhere in the thread that you can't use UOT. He recommend Metamorph.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vk2r:
I have read that in the post-void, although not very well as manually edit themes. There is some guidance to help me in building a theme for this ROM, since apparently there are not many and I would like to contribute.

Hi,

Well we have an Froyo Kernel (UK,Orange,Chinese) well the guys at the XT720 got Froyo with 2.1 UK Kernel to Work.

Someone gonna try 2.3 with 2.2. UK/Orange Kernel?

That would be something really nice we could work on ;)

Cause with 2.2 UK / Orange we have perfect working Froyo, now there ist only 720p (half done) ,FM-Transmitter (seems impossible) and finally Bootloader Cracking(really hard work) left for Developers ;)

We could use CM7 or Milestone Gingerbread Port ;)

[Defy Android Development] AgentSmith:
Unfortunately I can't find any information that they actually used the kexec method to load a fully custom kernel. I'm hoping they are still hiding it for the public to get rid of bugs. I fear though it's never going to happen. Despite that fear, a true CM7 on our Defy with a Moto kernel would already be quite nice. The custom roms so far are nice, but they are nothing more than adaptations of the original firmware. There is still Moto stuff in them, and don't we all just want to have Gingerbread on our Defy? :D
[Defy Android Development] jboogie3:
Honesty.... Gingerbread is the worst update google has done.. might as well wait for Icecream for some REAL update besides some phone off animations. Before we even got a froyo rom I attempted to port it with advice I got from dexter awhile ago... obviously didn't work.

I agree with jboogie3, it would be better keep some energy to concentrate our efforts on the next release during this time if you don't like blur stuff I would advise the latest jboogie3 rom which is really fast and as blurless as it's reasonable to be (only miss ginger keyboard which has improvements and drawbacks ;).

A core CM port would be nice though.
