Man I LOOOOOVE my Epic. The screen is gorgeous and the battery life is getting better everyday. I had it on for six hours after nearly fully charging it (98%), used it a bunch and then watched a hour and a half long movie and I'm only down to 50%. The one thing that seems to eat battery WAY more then anything else is the GPS, which is very accurate/fast on mine.

All I have is a 1gb card in that phone .... do I need a larger one?

I have a few days off, so I am going to see if I can get this TP to run the AD !!!:thumbsup:

Epic FTW!!! So glad to hear that rig is treating you great... nothing like having ur cake and eatin it too!!! I am looking forward hearing more good news from this unit! A friend who came over with his wife tonite for dinner talked abt how sweet the Android phones are while he was texting on his 3GS... he lol'd... my gps on my Pre' is a FAIL.... it jacked me the other nite down town big time...glad I had looked at where we were going earlier... the phone gets hot and then get a sluggish and buggy! :tomato:

Check your PM.

1 GB should be more than enough. You'll have to partition part of it into an EXT2 partition where you will be installing your Android apps. (They have a video of how to do it) 128-256 MB of EXT2 partition should be enough. That'll leave you with 744 MB of FAT32 where you can store all the other apps like the ROMS, pictures, music. I believe the ROMS range from 60 MB-100 MB.

EDIT: Looks like they're recommending 300 MB for EXT2. Still should leave you with 700 MB of FAT32 space which is plenty.

Have you rooted yet or is it all stock? I know CM 6 is being worked on for the Epic as well. The Vibrant and European variant get first dibs, then the Captivate, then the Epic and Fascinate.

Much thanks to eugene373!!!!
...always nice to see some eclair variation builds out there!!!
... track that sucker, and have ur bro to bounce it to you pronto!:thumbsup:

Thanks Mike... I just didnt want to start this and then have to jet to bestbuy!

also, thanks for the other links Mang!

I just watched the vids and they're done in Linux which is the best and most efficient method. I'm assuming you don't have Linux so the next best thing is to use Paragon Partition Manager 9. I'm not sure if its free:

Personally, I use ADB to partition but it might be more difficult for beginners but I'll link the tutorial on how to do it. Try the method above first:

And here's the many methods to do it using a Ubuntu boot CD (free and fast):

I haven't rooted it yet, I'm just running launcher pro. I'll probably do it once cyanogenmod comes out.

Would any of you guys know how to log off your gmail account on your phone? I have the Samsung Captivate.

I think you would have to reset the phone as a lot of things are tied to the GMail account such as contacts, calendar and pretty much the whole phone.

Can you delete the gmail account... and then re-add it?

Hmm...I guess you could. I forgot that since Eclair you can use more than one GMail account. Probably add another GMail account, make it the primary, then delete the old one. That might work.

FYI for those on TMo, Costco has Galaxy for $150 on an upgrade. Supposedly even on an early upgrade which I think is 12 months for you guys?

what do u guys think about HTC incredible compared to droid 2 or droid x?

Droid x is a gigantic, THIN smartphone.. Droid 2 has a physical keyboard, and the incredible.. is just an above average smartphone. You have to go and try them out for yourself.

The Droid Incredible is Verizon's Google Nexus One. Unfortunately, because it has the Sense UI, it doesn't get the updates as fast as the Nexus One. Also, Verizon, doesn't seem to be focusing too much on the phone as it got Froyo last and they barely announced when it would get it. I'm not sure why they're ignoring the phone as it has great hardware. The modding community seems to be picking up on the phone as well so thats a good sign. Like C2GPROJECT said, try them all out in person because the Droid X is bigger, maybe too big for some people and Droid 2 is nice for people needing a keyboard.

yeah the droid x seemed too big to me and not sure if i even like the keyboard on droid 2 and might rather just go touchscreen. if thats the case i was thinking that the incredible might be the best fit for me.

any other phones carried by verizon that i should look at?

The Fascinate if you can handle all the bloatware that is slowing the phone down from it's true potential...a good rom would cure this along with losing touchwiz though.

Did you ever get your problem resolved with gmail?

For the people thinking about the Fascinate but concerned about the Bingness on the phone:

Not really sure about the Bing integration coming into Verizon phones. While its nice to have choice, it shouldn't be forced upon. Now if Bing's apps were superior to Google's apps then it might not be an issue. As of now, that isn't the case.

Mike... hows Miami treating you man? did you get ur new rig yet????

Just got here yesterday. Unfortunately, my phone didn't arrive with me. Its still being delivered. Hopefully get it tomorrow or Monday at my house then have my bro ship it over to me. On the bright side, my car should be coming tonight. :biggrin: I've been walking around my place to get familiar with the area. Suffice to say, I won't be short of Latin foods in the next couple of months. lol. :tomato:

Sweetness on da ride and da food! You musta had it shipped :thumbsup:... I have only had one car shipped...that was crazy town! :tomato:

LOL.... Im so excited about how ur gonna customize this phone... heck, you would think it was coming to my house... :tongue:

Dual Core Androids in the wild yall... they are gonna be sick...

HTC... a win, win... really sweet looking phone!

I have never been much of an LG fan... will have to see how this shakes out...

t-mobile, AD 2.2 sitting on a dual core processor... this article is dated today, but it may be a while before it hits the t-m crowd!

...screen is 3.8 inches, but that is still HUGE compared to my Pre... LOL... it may be more the size that alot of peeps are wanting due to the large size of some the recently released phones...

Welcome! What part are you staying? Are you going to UM for medical?

Yeah. Its nice to be able to drive my own car again after how many months instead of just every time I go home for a few days of break. My brothers haven't kept it in the same condition I had before I started med school though. :whyme: One of my tires has a bulge and I'm scared it'll blow any time now especially where I'm living at cause they're doing a lot of road construction.

My phone finally came in on Sat. My brother should be sending it out today and it should get to me by Wednesday or Thurs. I wont be able to mess with it until maybe next week cause my schedule is looking packed this week. We gotta do BLS/ACLS certification and I might have school on Sunday. :yuck: We also had our Comp today and it was 4 hrs of testing which was not fun. And by the looks of it, I might have to redo it again as I wasn't able to study for it over the break. I'll be studying all semester long for it so I should be more prepared when we have to take it again in January.

I'm in North Miami, a few minutes from downtown, but my school requires us to drive any where in between North Miami to South Miami for lectures or hospital. I don't go to UM but my school is relatively close to it and we sometimes use their libraries to study at. If you see a Carbon Grey TSX with CA license plates around Miami, its probably me. lol.

So the first thing I'll be looking forward to patch my phone with is Project Voodoo:

The dev was able to fix the lag with a more stable Ext 4 partition (good for data retention and the SD Card), tweak the screen hue from blue to a warm white color like in other screens, and change the sharpness of the phone screen. It should be compatible with the Captivate and other Galaxy S variants eventually but right now its in Beta for the European and Canadian version.

Froyo seems to be also coming out for the Galaxy S phones soon:

Get that tire changed ASAP. Lots of construction and bridges on the highway. US1 is pretty smooth but I95 is scary and there are always bad accidents there. Invest in a Sunpass if you can. I'll be in the lowered green 2000 Accord coupe bouncing up and down since my shocks are blown again. :cuss:

EVO HERE I COME!

I went swimming a couple of weeks ago and forgot my TP2 was in my pocket Oooops! I found out that on Oct. 1 EVO will be available on SERO with a $20 upcharge. So I downgraded my SERO 1250 plan to a SERO 500 plan for $20 less. All in all my bill will remain the same since I don't use that many minutes anyway. This is going to be a long two and a half week wait!

Mike, froyo and vodoo... sounds like magic to me for ur new "S" ...LOL...

Bruh, I know it is like waiting for Christmas!!! Are you going to cutomize it any?

shocks FTL mang! :ugh:

Team, does a bear sh*t in the woods and wipe his a$$ with a fluffy white rabbit?

I'm starting my research NOW!

I've heard of a hack to allow tethering and hot spot undetected. That will be my first mod...

For the Evo check out www.unrevoked.com for details on how to root. XDA has good instructions as well and even youtube. Once you're rooted you can hotspot tether all you want and run all the custom ROMs you want. You can USB tether without root but you have to be connected via a USB cable all times.

roooooooo!
