[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bosshawg:
I have successfully installed 4.2. Im not seeing any changes regarding the "Reboot" mod or any difference with the "call log" mod.

I have NOT installed any themes... Is this something that needs to be done to have access to these feature enhancements??? If I do install a theme and dont like it can I uninstall the theme or install a different one over top???

I dont want to jeopardize the stability of the phone as it currently sits. I am very impressed with the ROM that Rob has put out and very appreciative of his efforts.

If I do install a theme, Im assuming I install the ones that are on Robs Blog about 3/4 down the page. I just want to make sure as some of these themes say they are 4.0 , 4.1 etc. I dont see any that specifically say 4.2.

Finally and as a side note:

I see that Syndicate Rom Frozen claims to have fixed some network problems. I have routinely experienced data connectivity issues since upgrading to Froyo and continues to be a problem with the MidNight Rom. Does anyone know if this fix is included in MidNight 4.2.

Here are some bullet points from the Syndicate Frozen posting:

Tweaks and bugfixes in SyndicateROM Frozen and the Twilight Zone kernel include:

•any and all lag completely destroyed

•Network speeds at their peak - no throttle service, buffers adjusted

•3G, 4G, and WiFi are stable

As always any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptfdmedic:
You are in the wrong section. Post these questions and all ROM specific questions in the respective threads so you get your questions answered. Post here. All the themes on the blog are compatible with v4.2 +.. This seems to be causing confusion for many people to I will address it on the blog as well.

* I don't believe the Reboot Mod shows up until you flash a Theme.

* I think any of the themes on his page (he's cleaned it as of last night) will work on 4.2.

* Flashing the Theme didn't seem to affect the stability of my phone. In my opinion, the themes are one of the big reasons to go the Midnight ROM in the first place.

* I have no idea how to uninstall a theme or overwrite on.

I would suggest doing a backup in ClockwordMod -- so you have a way to get back to your configuration as it stands. Then you can experiment with themes, etc, knowing you can always recover back to your current, stable state.

Perception is a strong daily driver, but I got the itch. Whose gone from perception to ??? and never looked back? I have to know!

What is the disadvantages of No-RFS Overkill?

Why does some people avoid using it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theduckking:
after some time you might encounter a corrupt file system.

It's only useful for high quadrant scores anyway, so I advise to avoid it. IMHO ext4 ext4nj ext4 is really fast enough

If you want to use it anyway keep backups, and keep not only the latest.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanjiajun_34:
What about ext2?

Why do people use Ext4 instead now?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theduckking:
there's a endless thread discussing exactly this in the Development section:)

my summary:

ext2 has no journaling and is therefore prone to corruption. But since no one heard of one case where ext2 corrupted it's save to assume that it's not too dangerous.

ext2 also gives you higher quadrant scores but in normal use you won't feel a difference to ext4.

The difference in power usage is ridiculously slim, it's probably not even there.

I recommend ext4, but try out ext2 if you want to, if you feel an improvement keep it:D

Regular backups are wise regardless of your file system (that applies to everybody: )
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilaq:
Ext4 is newer.

ext2-ext3-ext4

linux makes new file systems and makes them better and better.

But the difference wont be that big
[Wildfire General] kwajda:
I want to install to the default phone application to Cyanogenmod 7 RC2. Is this possible? And if that is what I need to move from WildpuzzleROM to the CM7?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
It is not possible to have HTC Apps on CM / AOSP ROM's, because they require HTC's framework which is absent in AOSP ROMs like CM7.
[Wildfire General] kwajda:
However, it can be copied HTC `s framework like in a hybrid ROM. That application is better because of the ability to quickly search for contacts. Unfortunately, each alternative application did not meet my requirements, eg TAKEphONE dialer.

Thanks for the quick reply, but I do not give up so easily:) surely we can somehow move from WildPuzzleROM to CM7.
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
It is possible in a Hybrid ROM, just not in CM/Pure AOSP ROM. A Hybrid ROM has already been developed, and you should be able to find it in the Android Dev Section.
[Wildfire General] NickHu:
Hybrid ROMs are pointless and stupid, because they're still based on HTC's ROM, therefore not AOSP, and therefore slow and laggy.
[EVO 4G General] jerseydvd:
My girlfriend had to exchange her EVO 4G yesterday at an official Sprint service center, and she was told that a lot of the problems we are having around here is because they've been working on the towers to upgrade them to 4G. The guy said they were doing it 'quietly, not announcing anything yet'.

Hope he's telling the truth! So far the closest 4G to here is Richmond, VA. It will be nice to see if this phone actually does 4G, or if that's just what they've been telling me.
[EVO 4G General] crabjoe:
I think your GF was feed a load of ____!

Clearwire hasn't been expanding due to money problems and a spat with Sprint. WiMax also runs at 2.5ghz and it's separate from Sprint's CDMA network. Clearwire wouldn't need to touch Sprint's hardware to launch WiMax in any area.

Now if it were Sprint upgrading their base station with their Network Vision plan, that could cause outages since all new hardware is being installed. Still that wouldn't be it because Sprint has publicly stated they will not start those changes till the 2nd half of this year.

If you're lucky, it could be Sprint making the change to Network Vision, in your area, for testing. I doubt that's it though.
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
False. Clear water is still expanding for the first half of the year. After that they are out of money.
[EVO 4G General] stryfe34:
You should have better confirmation before you make a post declaring the 4G is coming Hampton Roads area. I've been getting that same line since I bought my EVO in June. And now since Clearwire is broke and they CEO just resigned, it doesn't look good for WiMax rollouts.

I got all hyped when I read the thead title. Come back when you have something official.
[EVO 4G General] RogersEvo4G:
WAVY 10, our local news channel did some investigating in reference to the crappy sms and web service we have been dealing with. What they found was that Sprint network in our area can't handle the amount of new smart phone customers they have signed up with the evo and the epic. They are fixing the system and expect it to be back online correctly by April 1st. We will see!
[EVO 4G General] InfectedMushroom:
They have been saying that forever too. Whenever there is a problem, give it a few weeks....then two months go by, and nothing.
[EVO 4G General] dolfan08:
4G is already in Hampton Roads. Downtown Norfolk has testing going on. It's not the greatest but it's something. I used it about a week ago while I was on Colley Ave. Coverage was in and out as I drove through downtown but it is working.
[EVO 4G General] captain008:
I too have been told, by a Sprint Rep in Norfolk at the JANAF shoppong center, that the network outages are caused by the area being upgraded to 4G and for support for more 4G phones. He told me that areas of Norfolk have 4G up unofficially for testing, and an announcment will be made in April.

I decided to test the 4G at a StarBucks near Colley and Princess Anne and it connected. The connection was spotty and Speedtest.net would not connect. The trajic part is as soon as I drove away from the Starbucks I lost the 4G connection and it told me disconnected but radio antenna still on. Its not like Richmond but its a step in the right direction.

i havent gotten any 4g service they few times ive been to norfolk lately. Im in Hampton and i cant wait for 4g. But i honestly dont care if we get it. im sure i wouldnt use it alot cause of the battery anyways
[EVO 4G General] james123182:
look at clear's coverage map.....it shows a section of norfolk and gloucester as having 4g coverage
[EVO 4G General] Mad_Dog238:
I live in Norfolk near the airport. i have never gotten any 4g connection. This weekend, I drove all through downtown and still did not get any 4g connection despite the claims in other posts. I will say that my 3g service has been really crappy lately. so i contacted sprint and they told me 4 towers were being worked on and should be fixed by april 1. The agent told me that she was annotating my call in my record and will be giving me a discount on my next month's bill because of failed service. She couldnt say how much but anything is better than nothing Yall should call as well. I'm just saying!
[EVO 4G General] PikkonX:
This is true. Whenever I get off work and I'm stuck in traffic going westbound through the downtown tunnel, my Evo connects to 4G with full bars. The speed test results I saw were nothing special though. I only pulled 2.5Mbps down, but that's still better than my 3G speeds of around 200kbps....
[EVO 4G General] Mad_Dog238:
I will drive down colley this evening to confirm the claims. I will post if i do get 4g connectivity. I will also post my speedtest results if 4g is available. fingers crossed
[EVO 4G General] Mad_Dog238:
It is true! It is true! There is 4g downtown Norfolk. I followed Tidewater drive... to Little creek... made a left on Grandby. I followed Granby to 27th then Colley. The second I hit Colley I had 4 bars at 4g. I pulled over at the Golden Nugget Chinese Restaurant and ran a couple of speed tests. The results 7m down 2mb up Wow! That is awesome comparing to Norfolk's typical 3g service ranging from 200k-700k! I had service from the original find of 9:30 PM to 9:45PM then the signal died. I am not sprint so have no explanation why it went away. I confirmed that it was not a wireless connection..it was in fact 4g. Sprint, when is it coming to the rest of Hampton Roads?
[EVO 4G General] Mad_Dog238:
Have you tried to tether with wimax? if so what speeds do you get? The reason I ask is because while downtown i connected to 4g, turned on tethering, then connected with my ipad 2. i was getting crappy crappy speeds like 200k while on the phone i was getting 7mb simultaneously

Or you can look at Clearwire's coverage map. As of today on the Peninsula it shows Clearwire / Sprint 4G coverage in parts of Williamsburg, Gloucester, and Newport News. In SHR it looks like there's some coverage around downtown Norfolk and in Virginia Beach (around Town Center and Oceana).

Is it safe to change the freq of the cpu and not touching the voltage?

I mean I thought on computer when you overclock your cpu, it might damage it only because you need to over volt it to make sure its stable? So if I don't touch the voltage but just the freq it should be safe?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilaq:
I have Ultimate Rom ma nd use 1200mhz and the default voltage. It works very nice. But I dont know if ultimate changed the default voltage. But when you go to like 1600mhz youll need an higher voltage. If its built in in the rom it will automaticly change voltage I think (or they notice voltage on thread post).

Hello, everybody,

My Galaxy S GT-I9000M was working normally yesterday, with my Darky's ROM 9.2 flashed a couple of weeks ago. I turned it off normally and today, when I tried to turn it on again, got stucked in the "flashing colored X" boot animation.

What I have already tried:

3 btn recovery mode (pwr+center+up): it goes from the SAMSUNG GT-I9000 screen to the same screen

3 btn download mode (pwr+center+down): it goes from the SAMSUNG GT-I9000 screen to the same screen

Boot without the external SD

Boot without external SD and SIM card

None of this really helped or changed the result. Does anybody can come up with a new idea? I did spent a good time searching forums and the internet, but nothing I found really solved it.

Thanks in advance for your attention.

1. If I root my phone will it have the same lay out IE HTC sense? I like the way the way the phone looks and feels now.

2. Is there a way to copy the ROM off the phone as is? Before rooting?

Are your contacts saved to the sim or the phone? If they are are then SIM export them to the phone and a then try unclicking and re-clicking the contacts sync option

[KIN One and Two General] jon2012:
It seems to me that the KINm phones (or atleast the TWOm) are the only product in a specific niche of the cell phone / smartphone market, namely they offer WiFi browsing w/o an expensive data plan.

I would suspect that there is a pretty big group of users who would want exactly that. But, they probably don't know the option exists, especially if Verizon doesn't really advertise this phone. (They don't even have it in Verizon stores that I have been to, only online, listed under feature phones). Of course, it's not really in Verizon's best interest to promote this, considering they _want_ you to pay for a data plan.

So, this leaves me feeling very uncertain whether this "relaunch" of the KIN phones will ever catch on?

Also, is anyone else on the board interested in this phone still? I thought Kin threads were fairly active, but maybe it's just me? :p

Jon
[KIN One and Two General] dezgrz:
I agree that if Verizon would advertise this phone it would possibly catch on. As for the Kin in Verizon stores, that's actually where I got mine and I've seen Verizon's reps trying to persuade people into getting the phone.
[KIN One and Two General] mcdietz:
The phone seems to be getting pretty good reviews and response from buyers, but like you said Verizon is doing a poor job of promoting it.

And there are a handful of us both here and on Microsoft's forum site that have been trying many different approaches, but unforturnately none of us are experts in routing phones. A few us have bricked phones now, and we still haven't made to much progress, but still hoping someone can make progress.

This link rates the twom as the best messaging phone.
[KIN One and Two General] Spectredroid:
Kin TwoM= Win!

I am switching to the kin twom from a HTC Thunderbolt. I have a xoom as well, so I really don't need to keep paying for data on my handset. I have had several android phones, and for that matter several winmo phones in the past. I am excited about this because this really is a great phone for a "feature phone". No data, but having wifi is really sweet. I want to hack it and port android to it, which may not be possible, but either way, I think this really is a win, especially if you have a tablet. :cool:
[KIN One and Two General] johnkussack:
that depends on the point of view. For me, even if i'm pretty naughty with it, it isn't a great phone, caused in most part by the software..

- Software lags a lot (should not for the "few" resources that we use).

More if you take in account that we are using a tegra device with a 0'6Ghz CPU. My crappy PDA with 203mhz can play Age of empires mobile without lagging, and this phone can't just run the menu smoothly (sometimes). I smell bad optimization...

- The browser support for rtsp is kinda lame (no flash support and just redirection to mobile sites to a streaming protocol). Browser in general is pure **add your favourite badword here**.

- The wifi detection is barely ok, but several times it can't find the ESSID even if it's near it (@ my home wifi router) and you have to turn on, turn off the wifi till it awakes.

- Suffers from random reboots (if some software freezes). Happens to me sometimes, even with the phone playing the "i'm like a brick" game alone over my desk.

- It's battery is fastly drained by the OS, cause you cant close apps, and they are surely running in the background, like other windows ce OS's. If you open your browser after rebooting, it's there forever. If i could add only 1 app to a kin in the wooorld, i would add a battery/app ultraconfigurator to reduce so.

- Sometimes it can't even load some apps and shows a "loading..." window till it's... well loaded.

.....

On the other hand, the screen is pretty well done, imo. It detected my touchs almost perfect, whenever i tried.

At least, they solved the old bug that the original kin two had, where you set a wifi and can't reenter wifi settings cause the os hanged doing so (one or several reboots needed).

It would be so cool if it was sold unlocked & without contract for 100$. Then use dataplan with the company you want, and with installable apps.
