Haha. I couldn't either the night I saw it. I showed it to some friends and they couldn't stop laughing either.
As far as battery life goes, I don't think it uses anymore than a static BG does, from what I've seen after 5 days of usage.
Greatest ever.
LOL!!!!! HOW IRONIC IS THIS!!!!!!!!
I am getting my "snip snip" surgery today!!!!!!!!

Exactly! She/he just trolls and posts stuff like that all over the evo forum. It's actually quite annoying.
This has been around for a long time I rocked it on my N1 pretty much since i got it. I use to rock it on the evo to but it gets such poor battery life that I had to stop using live wallpapers.
If you like it pay the guy the 50 cents. Support the developer don't **** him and download it behind his back or post it here as warez.
Having a load swim around my screen isn't my thing but he did an awesome job with it. He deserves the half a buck.

How much battery life is consumed with live wallpapers. I really like this wallpaper and ended up purchasing it. However, I'm reluctant to using it due to battery life stories. Does it only consume the extra battery when on the home screen?

I just had to say that I'm loving this phone. I just got it today and I'm damn near in tears right now! I put on 2.2.1 and I think im set for forever. This phone crushes the Evo in every way...Well..some may bring up updates and bla bla but look at it this way. Gingerbread on the Evo is gonna be like Froyo on the Hero.The Evo just doesnt have the hardware to actually benefit from what they are trying to do with Gingerbread...The Evo simply can't play high end games no matter what's going on and after running Gingerbread on my Evo...its basically 2.2.1 on this Epic but with the different UI and keyboard. Long live Epic!
Its ok I feel.the way you do. At least your post wasn't a post about why don't we have froyo yet. Glad you love your phone. Are you putting any custom roms on it? Trust me you'll love it even more if you pit bonsai rom on it.

I used the same old-fashioned cell phone for 10 years until I switched to a smartphone for the first time last September with the Epic 4G. Quite a shock, but well worth the careful wait.

Ah, Froyo..well...to be honest, the Froyo for the Evo was pretty weak. It ran the same as 2.1, felt the same...only the sense from the Desire HD and Z and I think myTouch 4G actually have the real Froyo. The Evo just has the rushed Froyo >.< I'd much rather wait months for the real deal than the rushed one. And I just put some DK28 rom on it..like I said, I just got it today so if I'm sounding like an idiot please forgive me haha. I havent got the time to go through all of the posts in the Dev section. I did however go through the Dev section and look at some of the roms but there weren't many pics for most of em. I'd like to have the "stock" experience..I dont like themed roms. Is Bonsai themed?

Bonsai has it theme in a separate file so you can have the stock look or add the theme. And your timing is perfect, their new install process has streamlined everything to an amazing degree. I almost wish you'd started a week ago with the old way so you could appreciate what they've done
Yeah, I can't agree more. The ROM developers have made my Epic amazing.

First time rooting a phone here cw3 ext4 flashed 2.2.1 running incredibly fast. So glad I didnt follow my friends to the evo
The part about Gingerbread on the Evo. The Hero had heaps of problems, and coming from that phone, I have to say I disagree with the board angry at Samsung b/c the Hero, G2 or whatever T-Mobile's version and quite a few other phones were all *****ing about updates....and their updates didn't do much.
So Fixxxer can we get Fresh on here too? You guys pumped up my Hero
The Epic was my second smartphone - quite a step up from the HTC Hero, which later died on me.
I live in Canada and bought this phone for $300 no contract off of eBay, brand new (apparently, the seller said that it had a bad ESN, although I don't really care), and while it does have it's flaws (poor battery life, although the Evo also suffered from this and I'm told that the Evo has worse battery life), a bad GPS (calibrating the GPS can fix it), overheating issues when gaming, and a keyboard that misses keys), it's an otherwise good phone. After playing around with other Galaxy S variants, the Desire HD, Desire Z, Nexus One, Sony X10, and a few LG handsets, I wouldn't trade this phone for any other Android phone released in 2010.

Let me tell you something sir...the issues like battery life and overheating are here but when compared to the Evo..I wouldnt even call them issues really.
With my Evo, battery life was so bad...I wish I could tell you how bad. Some people may say "its not that bad once you get a kernel" but it is that bad. This DK28 kernel gave me 7 hours with some pretty heavy usage, when i needed to charge it, i was at 10%...and I had 4G enabled the whole time. Thats not possible with the Evo at all...with how I was using the phone, I'd probably only get 3.5 hours. Battery life is abysmal. The worst thing I've ever seen on a smartphone.
Now with the overheating...this phone does some weird stuff. I cant understand it really...the battery temp stays around 80...thats the same with the Evo. While in use, the temp goes up to 86...thats with a lot of usage (listening to music and browsing). And then after it being at 86 for a while...it drops down to 83 while its still in use. Can the Evo do that? Hell no. The Evo goes from 80 to 96 in a New York minute, then continues to increase! You have to use setCPU profiles for screen off just to try to manage the temperature...its terrifying. So I mean...yeah the Epic heats up and what not and the battery aint 18 hours with heavy usage out of the box, but when it is compared to these HTC phones, this phone just looks perfect.
And i dont really want to start posting comments where im comparing the Evo and Epic but Im just so blown away...I mean, I put so much time into the Evo and its basically all I know but now that I have this Epic..this device is just so damn perfect, I cant stop talking about it..cant stop posting about it...this is how an android phone should be. I mean omg...has anyone ever looked at how it reads the voltages and temperature on here? Samsung has done it all right...its timers are spot on so when you use apps like Battery Indicator Pro, you can actually see differences because of the better timers. The Epic also has better voltage-percentage battery readings...while the Evo is all over the place. It will say 100% is 4.135V and then 99% is 4.035V then 98% would be 4.111V...I hated that. And because the Evo did that, you would always experience random drops in percentage after waking the phone up because it only checked the battery voltage when it was awake so..people in the Evo forum would be like "HEY GUYS, I LEFT MY PHONE OFF THE CHARGER FOR X-AMOUNT OF HOURS WHILE I WAS SLEEPING AND DIDNT LOSE A DROP!!" Well..they did in fact lose a lot of power, the phone just didnt match up teh voltages with the percentages while the phone was sleeping, so when they would start using the phone, the phone would drain like crazy while it tried to get to the right percentage. So annoying...
Im sorry for my rambling, I really am...its just that there's so much to compare here...and I dont think anyone's ever mentioned the voltage-percentage readings when comparing the phone, so at least im not saying anything thats been repeated.
Yes...I too am in love with my Epic. That love would be intensified if the keyboard issue was resolved. If our keyboard was better this phone would be on God level...its more Demi-God/Perseus level now. Still an amazing phone.

You talking about hitting multiple keys as in the issue? Strange enough..I only do that when Im in will lit areas where I can actually see the outline of the keys. When Im in a dark room and all i have to rely on is the backlight, im all good. But whats worse is that in both scenarios i do hit the other keys a lot, but it only registers one. So im constantly double checking because i hear like 3 clicks but it puts the letter i want up. Its kinda annoying but its all good.
Another thing that bugs me is the damn charging cable. That thing will come out for no reason. With the Evo, it was locked in so good you could give the phone with the cable in to one person and you grab the other end and together you could swing it around and jump rope. I move my phone over an inch and it pops out. But its all good.
And how many people installed the gingerbread theme? This thing is popping...the blacks...ahhhhh i love it. My background is black as well (got it from some backgrounds from the app Grallery. If y'all never used that app for backgrounds, you should check it out. Its a ton of abstract art and it looks amazing). With the black background and the vibrant colors on that background and the black status bar...it looks crazy in a dark room. Doesnt even look like you're holding a damn phone because it all blends in to the dark surrounding your in but yet the colors pop out...its just jaw dropping.
Edit: Going to try Bonsai right now...I hope its not themed...well even if it is..im just going to flash the Gingerbread theme right over it...

My Epic is nothing like that ..You can plug in the stock charging cable, it snugs in on mine...I don't know about jump roping
But I can certainly, have the Epic dangling in the air by lifting it by the cable And it wont come out
Your cable might be messed up...You might want to try another different one.
I picked this up yesterday so thought id share what I think about it ill try and give some structure to this but will end up waffling.
Feel of the phone: the feel of the phone is solid id say it feels way better then the s1 no where near as slippy or creaks as much. The textured back actually helps but the body definetly could do with being thicker... Just gives me an excuse for a bigger battery . If you have small hands like myself then using the phone one handed becomes difficult especially going for the notification bar or an app thats in the top left or right corner.
Call quality etc etc brilliant... turning the messaging app sideways changes the interface where you can scroll through all your different threads and view whats been said in each which I mentioned because its ingenious. I can't remember whether s1 did that :-\ .
The screen... Where to begin lol. Okay well remember when you went from lcd to super amoled.... The change to the + isn't as drastic but definetly noticeable. Not as blurry with text and brilliant colors obvs... The screen actually feels so smooth lol I dont know if its because its new but it feels like silk.
Music playback is brilliant and once youve downloaded power amp player or similar the s2 is incredible for music playback clear and loud. It plays everything In my library which has an array of formats so thats good news.
Camera I haven't used much to be fair... But im thankful for the flash handy as a light more then anything.
Touch wiz 4... Brilliant so integrated and together not laggy and actually looks brilliant... I actually havent changed the launcher more then satisfied with it. The phone has not stalled on me yet. The s1 was terrible for that straight out the box but this is the complete opposite functionality out the box definetly 10 out if 10 should be a relief for those who had bad experiences with the s1. It has loads of nifty features that you find by accident lol and then spend 10 mins looking for more.
Gps... fixed and works perfect... thats the honest truth lol.
Battery life... I'm definetly a fidgety son of a... so my phone barely gets put down texting calling browsing... Then browsing the same thing again lol this phone holds its own definetly brilliant battery life after I get used to owning an s2 it will definetly last a day... Atm im pulling it out my pocket every 30 seconds.
The browser is super slick on the s2 will give desktops a run for their money... Flash support is flawless... I wont mention what site I used for it though lol. There seems to be no problem downloading files like there used to be on s1.
I think thats about it.
Sorry for any idiosyncrasies or for any thing used in the wrong context
Ive seen a few posts in other threads about the head set quality... Personally the head phones supplied in the box are great they cancel noise out almost completely. if your an audiophile they should be good enough.

Good info man - Definitely helps sway me even closer to buying one. Let me ask this: how does the battery life compare to another device? For me, that's a better comparison as I get 2-3 days battery life on my Nexus One because of my usage. Does the battery double the Galaxy 1? Triple?
Thanks!
Galaxy 1 doing the same thing would not last me a day. Im geussing this will easily...

Coming from a Captivate myself, I would do it. Just got my Atrix yesterday, already rooted and about to toss on GreyBlur. The whole locked bootloader thing..doesnt seem to be bothering me as much as I suspected. The phone is just amazingly quick, responsive and I know people do it much praise, but the fingerprint scanner is pretty cool imo. Think I spent like 20 minutes making sure that no one else but me could get into my phone

hows the screen and stuff?
I've heard contrast and colours were a bit off compared to SAMOLED or other LCD screens
The only thing I miss about my Captivate is the screen. Overall, I prefer having the higher res screen of the Atrix, but I miss the vibrant colors of Super AMOLED. Colors can be washed out on Atrix, but it's livable.
I was a rom junkie on Captivate, going between Cognition, CM7, and Perception. On the Atrix, I flash greyblur, and I'm more than happy. I like not having to backup my phone and reinstall everything every other day. Everything Just works.
Battery life is far better on Atrix as well, I used to have to charge or keep a sapre battery to make it through the day.
There is zero lag on the Atrix, I mean, zero. The only time I noticed slight lag was when trying to use facebook app while Titanium Backup was running and I was updating two apps. And it was still better than any lag I had on Captivate.
I'm tempted to check out the SGS2 whenever it makes it's US debut, but I'll wait for reviews. I'm very happy with Atrix, but bigger screen and Super AMOLED plus might make me stray.
Hope this helps.
edit: And I should mention, having a GPS that is always spot on is amazing. This is the first phone I've had where it works 100%. Captivate was awful, as was my iPhone 3G.
how did you like your captivate? if it was something you really enjoyed I would suggest getting the sequel. but since you are getting a good deal you might want to go for the offer and if you don't like it, sell the atrix to put towards the SGS2.
As for lag, I only get that with live wallpapers.
The screen on the Captivate to me was nicer I think though that's probably why the battery isn't as good.
If you're a ROM junkie then I kinda think you should hold off on it. If you want a functioning phone then by all means Atrix is awesome. Battery is great, the phone is fast and it functions very well.
It really all comes down to how long can you wait for a new, better, well supported phone as opposed to needing a fully functional phone with android 2.2.
I think if I had the choice of waiting when I still had my captivate .. I might have :x but considering the phone is free lol then NAH I love my atrix.
btw.. there's not really anything 4G (HSPA+ is okay.. but I'm on wifi most of the time) about this phone yet imo.

I had a captivate, and the atrix is 10x better. Not as bad in the daylight as the other lcds, and no banding on pics like AMOLED. And don't fret the whole bootloader and lack of Deving. It is fast enough as it is.
Plus it feels right in my hand...just the right weight...just the right shape...no idea. This is almost my perfect phone and I've been through the g2x, infuse, inspire and all the rest in the past month

cheers
I've made up my mind
I'm going for the atrix
are you running any P-ROM's?
Yes. Gingerblur, with a modded mix of lime and minimal theme. And normally most "roms"(mostly stock ones with themes) have issues that make them slower than the original roms, or so I have always experience, but gingerblur keeps the performance and is nice.
Minus the keyboard, I'm really loving this phone.
I'll still be around this forum.
It is a nice phone for sure. I played with one a week or so ago. I'm still waiting for the Nexus announcements and the such

What is it about the keyboard you don't like?
I'm a padowan with no master.
Well I have to say it wasn't a bad choice. It seems to be a nice Device. I used one for a few hours at Best Buy. Minus it not having Sense, it's really nice Device. I kind of liked the Keyboard. Enjoy it .
Speedy has to have one of the best keyboards in my opinion the Droid 4 has a cool one with the lights on it but doesn't seem as good.

I thought about picking up the photon q. Seemed like a great phone, but the hd screen kept me on the EVO 4G LTE.
I kind of liked the keyboard of the photon too, but can't say I'd tried it out for an extended period of time

What kind of battery life are you getting, since you cannot remove and upgrade the battery?
I thought this was an interesting keyboard mod.

I don't have the q "yet" but I did see on amazon that there is a sedio extended life battery available. It comes with a new back and all so I expect that it can likely be moded to more easily remove the batt if it becomes an issue.

Battery life is great and so is performance. Problem is when the phone dies and you plug it back in you can't turn it on immediately. That is really annoying.
How is it? My Shift is nearly dead after being dropped many times. The LED notification light no longer works, the power button gets stuck and hard to press, and it's just running sluggishly in general (though this could be my ROM, I'm running kushdeck's ICS pb21). I'm not eligible for an upgrade until July, so I might need to replace my Shift.
