[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
this only works on hboot 0.76. this dude is on 2.10, which can brick you if you try and downgrade sometimes.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlGmanlx:
right you are sir, i have a pretty close to launch phone and i have that hboot so its a godsend. Its probably not worth downgrading just for the fastboot commands as your right, you could visit brick city
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrubambinoxpr:
im on .93.. so im straight forward on it.. but no fastboot commands..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dased14:
did not know that you could brick it trying to use fastboot like that. learn something everyday(and i'm trying to learn all i can from the people that know
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrubambinoxpr:
does this work for all software and hardware??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
oh, you can definetally downgrade from .93 to .76. you can always use my method though. last link in my signature.

edit: for xtrumb's question above, all hardware, tested on hboots 2.10 and 2.02 should also work on .97 maybe works on .76 (but no reason to use it)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrubambinoxpr:
i flashed the zip dane gave me nd it booted once.. went to show my friend now it wont boot past the splash screen -_- any help please?

**FIXED**
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dased14:
so did it work and look like you wanted it to
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrubambinoxpr:
Yea it worked thanks very much!

I guess it hangs on the screen if a usb is plugged in? Cuz I waited like 3 minutes.. tried again after unplugged nd worked like a charm!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
so did you or did you not use my method?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrubambinoxpr:
i just downloaded 7zip im trying to figure out how to work it.. ima make the zip with the txt and splash1 inside. if this works ima change splash screens all the time.. nd by the way im on myns 2.2 rls4 build 3.30.651.3 does it matter the text file says 3.70?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
i dont think so. if it doesnt work, i'd change it. it will probably work though because android systems sees it as an upgrade, which the new hboots allow.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dased14:
yes the way i used is the same (i googled it and then seen yours) should have check on here first. but you live and learn i guess
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrubambinoxpr:
just hope it doesnt brick anything..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
ok cool i'm just asking cuz like 4 people have used it :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dased14:
just flashed it to mine and its not taking any long than any other ones i use. so maybe just a one time hiccup
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dased14:
yeah i seen where you posted that on the lower posts, had me laughing( i get the same way when, have made a few splashes and sometimes i check to see if anyone looks or uses them)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrubambinoxpr:
DK DUDE!!!! this method rocks!!! i can switch as i like so easy!!!!! lol.. if only i knew this earlier! thanks to you too dased14!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dased14:
no problem
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
same... glad i could help (and somebody used it)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dased14:
the nbimg way is for taking bmps and stuff and turning them into img's then use the rest(android.txt and 7zip) if you still want it pm email and i'll send it with directions

Anybody having the same problem?

Or even better yet a solution?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spreketek:
no, mine worked flawlessly.

solution? flash the latest baseband and/or follow exactly the procedures in the first post.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Betornillo:
i had a similar problem

i just installed .435 firmware and playing around and installing apps, my phone suddenly doesn't detect sim.

The solution was: uninstall the task manager app. It worked for me.

I hope this helps you. :)

[Captivate General] leo5111:
its allways removed it before. i deleted alll my voicemails, rebooted phone,turned it off and back on used task manager to clear all running proceses etc, NADA dang voicemail icon is still there any ideas? thanks :p
[Captivate General] Rrryan2:
Would be helpful if you could share what ROM, modem etc. you're using.

Ideas? Google Voice. It's free and offers a much richer messaging experience over carrier-based voicemail systems. It transcribes viocemails and you can read and/or listen to them on the phone, from a PC etc.
[Captivate General] leo5111:
im on paragon rc4 and the modem it came with
[Captivate General] shoman94:
What I've seen fix that in the past is leave yourself a voicemail... let it go to your phone... then delete it again.... also another note.... i always hit the * button to hang up.... not sure if that will work but it has for me in the past with other phones....
[Captivate General] slifer315:
it most likely has nothing to do with your phone and everything to do without your service provider. the voicwmail server is incorrectly sending your phone the "new voicemail" signal. I had this same problem on my old blackjack 2 for the longest time. if it bothers you enough, try calling your service provider and get them to fix it.

Sent from a phone, playing a phone, disguised as another phone.
[Captivate General] shishir95:
Just call AT&T and ask them to reset the voicemail and missed calls notification.

This happens to me soo often...
[Captivate General] codyrt:
This fix has worked for me numerous times in the past.
[Captivate General] sumlunatik:
Sorry to jump in on the OP thread but I have the same problem. On cognition was setting up google voice but I guess I had a voicemail sneak thru the system during the setup. I have tried switching back to my carrier voicemail leaving a message but it does not delete it. I am surprised there is not a service that cannot be force stop to remove it versus calling provider.

Thanks

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alderi:
There is a hack for HTC Kaiser that unlocks wifi channels 12, 13 14 with a registry change.

Is there something doing the trick for Froyo 2.2?

I had all needed channels with Android 1.6 on my Dell Streak, and lost 12 and 13 when "upgrading" to 2.2, which appears to be geared to the US market only.

The "upgraded" Dell Streak doesn't have the regulatory domain option from

"Settings>Wireless>Wi-Fi settings then touch Menu, Advanced, choose Regulatory domain" which lets you choose the number of channels to use.

Froyo is definitely not for the road warrior (outside US) as far as connectivity is concerned. :mad:

Cheers,

Alex
[Epic 4G General] kingdruid:
For those of you running 2.2 on their Epic 4G can you run a quadrant test?

I'm planning on buying a new phone and I'm deciding on the Epic 4G or the Evo Shift 4G. The only thing that is holding me back on the epic is the quadrant test for the Evo Shift was 1500 compared to the Epic's test of 900.

The videos I've seen say that they think this is because its running on Android 2.1 compare to the Evo shifts Android 2.2 OS.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Quadrant has almost no relation to the actual speed of the phone, besides running any of the Epics EXT4 roms scores ~ 2k regularly
[Epic 4G General] quik99:
what he said is correct check out http://smartphonebenchmarks.com/ it has results from better tool called smartbench as well as quadrant running on 2.2. the galaxy s line is currently the hardware to beat.
[Epic 4G General] xjman:
No benchmark software gives you a result that relates to the performance of your phone in any real world situation with exception of maybe neocore for your 3d stuff.

Linpack, smartbench, quadrant, ect, ect are all really about the same. I personally use 0xbench mostly because it gives a little more about what the test is actually doing so I can relate it to use.
[Epic 4G General] dr_gibberish:
I agree 100%.

That said, running Nebula 1.07 my scores range 1700-1800. This phone is definitely faster than the Evo Shift, especially in games that require 3d rendering.
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
Quadrant was designed around the snapdragon processor witch is in most htc devices. This is why they score so high. Quadrant can also be fooled to reach higher scores. It is seriously defected and I wouldn't base buying a phone on a score.

Here's a screen of my phone. Bonsia 2.0, ext4 no journaling, my theme.

WTF how the f*** do you expect me to base my purchases on other than online reviews and scores???? Here's what I'll do I'll go to sprint and buy both phones then play games on them side by side to determine which one is better just because some f*** idiots on a forum told me not to base my purchase on Benchmarks which is what is done on PC CPUs and GPUs. Seriously I'd talk some ****, but I'd probably be banned.

I'll leave you guys to your f*** dragonball z pictures... That right there tells me how seriously I should take your opinions.

Buying a phone over scores? The nice big Super AMOLED display doesnt come into play? How about the nice full size keyboard? How about the fact that the epic is just a better phone?
[Epic 4G General] chino0131:
OP - calm down and ignore the kids on here. I swear, some of the members of the Epic forums are worse than the apple fan boys out there. Someone has a different opinion than yours of your precious Epic, or someone has a different desire or need for their cell phone than what you do and all you can do is laugh at their choice and/or questions? I love my epic and all, but its not the end of the world if someone doesn't love it as much as I do.

If games are important to you Epic is the way to go
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Here's a crazy idea. Go to the Sprint store and play with both of them. Buy the one you like more. A novel idea i know.

Or you could have done this:

http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=evo+shift+vs+epic4g

And it would have led you to MULTIPLE videos discussing all of the differences between the phones.

Do people not research anything on their own anymore? Is Google this secret website that only I know of?
[Epic 4G General] quik99:
I know a lot of you are angry cuz we dont have froyo yet..but no reason to be so harsh to a new guy looking to get a phone....
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
You have to ignore the baddies here in the Epic forums and pay attention to the people that really want to help. MysteryEmotionz posted some good information to base your opinion on what you phone can really do, so did Estewa_619. I would also contribute, but my girl has my Epic right now.

My Epic with Truly Epic and EXT4, I consistently get around 1900+. The phone cannot be touched right now on the hardware side, our only downfall is our software upgrades aren't coming as fast as they should officially. Dev's have given us some Froyo to play with in the mean time and new ROM's are starting to pop up. Once we have the source code, this phone is going to be a beast.
[Epic 4G General] Quis89:
The Epic really isn't that much of a better phone. You get a nicer screen, better arranged keyboard, front facing camera and a more fluid gaming experience.

Real life phone speeds are comparable. The Shifts keyboard actually works and the battery life is better.

It all boils down to what you do with your phone and what's important honestly. I have both phones and use them both equally and they each have advantages. But as far as performance goes....neither has a huge advantage.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
And the Epic4g supports hardware accelerated media playback of AVI and MKV files, while all HTC phones stutter like fools trying to software decode the same content.
[Epic 4G General] xjman:
Mine wasn't an attack on you. If you check a guy on sdx-developers developing for the optimus, his gets higher benchmarks than the epic, but the phones are dog slow.

I try personally to stay away from them because you get a false sense of speed, like all these people who use ext4, and ext4 with no journaling and claim the revolution. The difference it makes is so minimal to the user that its moot in my opinion.

I've personally use both phones. Neither one seems that much better or worse than the other, the screen size of the shift will be a little tough for me to get used to, but I wouldn't not buy the phone because of that. The 4g on the shift didn't seem to sleep as aggressively as it did on the epic that was a huge bonus to me, as 4g is usless as it stands now. Besides some small interface lag on both phones it was smooth clean and worked fine.
[Epic 4G General] Electrofreak:
Not really true. Since Android runs on a virtual machine, how the benchmarks are run actually makes a big difference on the accuracy of the score. Quadrant is a terrible benchmark, but some of the newer ones are much more accurate.

0xbench is good, if not exactly intuitive. GLBenchmark is fairly accurate, and SmartBench is more accurate than any of the other general benchmark tools I've seen thus far (and the developer actually hangs around here on XDA taking feedback). BaseMark also shows some promise, but getting your hands on it seems to be the trick.

To the OP: Don't get all worked up about the people poking fun for wanting to get a phone with a better hardware score. Kudos to you for doing your homework. That said, unfortunately the most commonly used benchmark is Quadrant, and it's really no good at producing accurate and representative scores between different SoCs. If you want to compare apples to apples, sure, it's fine.

But if you want to compare HTC vs Samsung vs Motorola etc, it's crap, because they all run different SoCs and it can't accurately compare performance between them. Its fooled by Snapdragon's VFP engine (so is Linpack from what I'm told) and fails to score I/O properly on Samsung's RFS file system. On top of that, it's also easily manipulated; I had my Epic score 2597 on Quadrant using a trick put together by some of the developers on this forum.

But, since the Snapdragon phones are popular, and they score well on Quadrant, it continues to be the most commonly used benchmark. Why should we be surprised? The program that measures out the longest e-peen will always be the one that people flock to.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiusPatronus:
Hi guys!

I am currently running my Samsung Vibrant with the latest Bionix-v ROM. I was looking at the Modems that were listed in the referenced and I was wondering which one I should use for the ROM I have? In other words, which one should I use? I am currently with Mobilicity (Canadian Carrier).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadpass:
Vibrants seem to be very choosy when it comes to modems. Different people will get different results from different modems. This is why in modem threads you'll see some people report increased speed/reception/battery and others will report decreases. The best way to choose one is to try them out first hand. I personally like KA6 and KB1, but the hybrid KA5 from bionix v seems pretty decent too.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiusPatronus:
Thanks for the reply. How would I install a specific modem on my custom ROM? Also, do I need to prepare my phone beforehand for installing a specific modem?

EDIT: Oh and how do I know which I currently have on? Like whereabouts in options would I find it at?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da_dragon2k3:
a few questions there. lets see if i can help a lil

1. install it just like installing a new rom. boot into recovery and flash the modem.zip file. once flashed. reboot. DONT FORGET TO BACKUP

2.other than backing up on prep work necessary.

3.home-menu-settings-about phone should say which modem you currently are on.

4. try out all the 2.2 modems. For me, I'm all about which modem gets me the best gps results. locks/accuracy, etc. KB1 is my baby. But all depends if you want gps, data speed, connection, voice or battery life.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiusPatronus:
Sounds good. I'm going to try out KB1 now and see if there is any improvement on reception/gps.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
Also, I touched on this in another thread. Different people have different uses for their modems. Ie; I personally am willing to sacrifice some battery for top notch connectivity and gps so the recent kb1 is working out fantastic right now.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:

obtaining modem zip files

First time poster and obvious noob, but I hope it's ok to post a follow up here.

I want to try the KB1 modem and found a link (multiupload.com) to it in the "Vibrant Modems" thread in the dev forum.

I went ahead and registered on multiupload.com, but I can't seem to locate the actual zip file. Every download link I click just torments me with adverts. Is there another place where I can find this file?

Okay I'm running dj05 modem on rubixs dl30 base last night my phone went crazy. My phone was not reading correct battery stats. I would plug it to charger and within a minute say full charge and the display would flicker while plugged up. So I wiped batt stats that didn't help so I wiped factory reset ans davlik cache. That didn't help so this morning I was going to flask eb01 and now Odin won't recognise my phone. Any help would be greatful.

You have to be very cautious of the aftermarket chargers and cords you use.
[Fascinate General] smitth6750:
What do you mean my phone hasn't been plugged up for hrs and its still doing it
[Fascinate General] jenisiz:
That's not a good sign then. Some aftermarket chargers will fry the ports amoung other things. Attempt a backup/restore and try it with an authorized sammy cord/charger. If that doesn't work then you may have bricked the phone.
[Fascinate General] smitth6750:
I've already flashed backups an nothing helps looks like usb port is fried need to call verizon I guess now
