The best thing I ever do

The best thing I ever do was sell my vibrant. A phone that came with some errors, poor attention from samsung, T-Mobile in my country doesnt have 3g when the other have it, No the speed. The only thing that is amazing is the screen.

the best thing you can do is leave this forum and not troll back in!

Why do you think we care? We are happy with our phones. What are you going to get? A Nokia N8?

T-Mobile has 3G in PR and it's apparently HSPA+. Thanks for the update though, I can sleep now!

I love how all these troll's always come back to tell us that they sold their vibrant... Saying that it was the best thing, yet they ALWAYS come back on here.... Hmmmm sounds like they miss something...

Another good thing you could "did" is learn proper English verb conjugation.

The best thing I ever "do" is read posts from morons like the OP... It's good to know there'll be one less "I bricked my Vibrant" thread in the Dev section!

Hasta la vista Atorrante
Most people want to complain about the phone... But, what i have found 98% of the time it is the guy you are looking at in the mirror that is the problem.
I wish him well on his quest to find a better phone

i'm thinking about selling my vibrant off too. experienced way too many problems pre-update. now after the update, im getting massive battery drain and gps isn't even working. also, the phone's acting weird and the computer isn't able to connect/recognize the phone anymore. i'm all stock too. such a headache for me, it's just not worth it anymore.

I'm not about to win a Nobel prize or anything but I can think of many MANY things in my life that I have done that are WAY better than buying or selling a phone. I'm not sure buying or selling a phone would even make that list for me.
Really, if that is the best thing you ever do, well then I truly hope you take some time and reflect on maybe at least one thing you can do that could be better than that and try, try again. Don't worry, I'm sure if you keep at it you'll get it.

Can I become a moderator just so I can delete threads.

Me too

Froyo delayed until 2011 for SGS

I really hope this is BS, cause the site looks shady. The text looks like it was translated from something. Can anyone confirm this?

Are you serious? The grammar-level of that blog post makes the average youtube comment read like Shakespeare..

lol, i got a chuckle myself. The subject line is like those random facebook spams with the double vouls.

This is most-likely a Google Translate (or similar) job. Hence, the grammatical oddness.

Seems like Samsung noticed Noob left and said **** we ain't got anyone else to develop froyo for us.

Always thought they did **** like that...Because you know they have their eyes on xda and sdx to see what the devs are doing.

Thats obviously from across the pond, with the translation creating the grammatical errors, and it mentions Vodafone which is Uk's and Spain's largest carrier, and it refers to our cell phones as terminals lol. At the end, it mentions that it may not be true for its United States users, so I really doubt it pertains to us.

I think where just waiting on sprint. I believe samsung did there part and no where for sprint to finish there part. There has been 3 froyo leaks already. Its just a matter of time

I'm with ya. The phone is a monster even stock right out of the box. The Cortex A8 Hummingbird is by far the fastest stock Processor out there (in my opinion). My wife has an Evo and I can navigate around my phone and web 5x faster than her.

i agree i had the Evo be4 and this phone is better and by saying this phone i mean EPIC

While for many, this update won't mean much, for others is actually a very important update. Our current gmail app is seriously crippled for some email users, no android management tools, no push notifications plus a more restricted market. I briefly switched and was stunned at the improvements made to the gmail app...eventually had to switch back though because my Battery life took a *HUGE* hit. Samsung/Sprint is really starting to drop the ball IMO.

2.2.1 is still being worked on,,,but the talk around the water cooler is 5-6 months for gingerbread,,,but it will be ported long before then.

Well froyo still has bugs I flashed it and got call issues freezing even after wipiing 3 times,lag on icons loading after rotate or opening keyboard...stock 2.1 is better.and no this phone is not better than evo they are both tha same it all depends on preference ,like epic keyboard but thicker>evo no keyboard thinner ,amoled or bigger screen,evo hdmi .evo 8mp camera kickstand etc...

Who cares, use DK28. It works great and has the best battery life I have ever seen on a smart phone. Most recently, from a full charge with calls, texts, internet browsing, emailing, facebook, and over an hour of angry birds I got 31 hours of use before I put it on the charger at 6%. I used it the whole day, left it off the charger for the night and used it the next day just to see how long it would last. If they are making these kind of improvements I an very happy with the progress and they can have as much time as needed.

You are doing something seriously wrong if you think DK28 caused bad battery life. I suggest you try again and calibrate your battery. See my previous post, this thing lasts FOREVER.

Are you trying to say that is the release date? If so, you just destroyed your own credibility because they would never release a huge update on a holiday. No one wants to be stuck with a broken phone on Christmas sitting on hold for tech support. They most likely have less staff working too, which would just compound the problems.

funy thing is I dont care if you think its credible,Im putting it out there,if Im flammed Im flammed...And to clarify what my info is,12/20 is when they want to have RC2 ready for .4 version test phones,the window is mostly 5 days for bugs to be reported,now we are looking at 12/25-26,then if it is given the ok,it will roll out before the end of the year as expected,not everyone will get the OTA the first day.So I cant say when you will get it,only when they expect it to be done....And if you follow my trail, posted exactly when DK28 would hit 3 weeks before,I said 26-29. And Ive said this before,DK28 was supposed to be final with an update 2 weeks after the roll out to fix any unseen bugs.I mentioned this here and on SDX,does that seem credible enough for you?

Running Epic Experience DK28 at the moment. I've been getting GREAT battery life and very few issues.
A little laggy at times, but nothing serious.

Here's the deal dude

I'm going to go get the evo this weekend because Verizon is or has been to exspensive. I've been doing the proper research for root and I think I got that down for the most part. I gotta say I'm pretty impressed with the amount of roms you guys have compared to the dx. I'm addicted to flashing roms which is very frustrating when it comes to the dx as there is such lack of roms for it, oh well who fukin cares cry your self a river build a bridge and get over it..so here's my question . Can I flash different roms over top of each other??? Like for instance from cm7 to whatever rom. I know you have to wipe data and stuff already. Is there anything important I need to know??? Thanks

i would recommend you browse the Evo general forum and you will know what we mean.sprint's data speeds have been horrible for the past 3 months or so,and this seems to be a nationwide problem and not an isolated issue.

As you can see, we have our share of trolls here on the EVO side of XDA but you should be used to that by now coming from DX. These low-lifes are rampant on these forums, just ignore them and you will be ok...
Regarding your question. Technically, if you are flashing a newer version of a rom like say going to CM7 2.2 coming from 2.1, technically you do not have to wipe everything, just dalvic cache but if you are flashing a completely new rom then it's best to completely wipe everything. There is a zip called "format all" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785271
somewhere in the OP in this link, and you can just flash that zip before you go to a new rom and it automatically wipes absolutely everything for you, so you won't have to worry.
I highly recommend you use the format all zip before every rom update or change, just to be safe. And make sure you create a nand backup before hand.
Welcome to the dark side! I'm sure you will love your evo!
P.S if you're looking for roms to try out, particularly AOSP, I highly recommend MIUI. For a sense rom, go with any of Calkulins.
Let me know if you need anything else.

Come on dude is sprint really that bad??? I'm on wifi most of the time anyways. If its really that slow ill just take it back and if the wont take it back then ill show them how slow my car can drive through there window accidently and my peice of **** car drives pretty slow.

I'm telling you man, do not get into any kind of conversations with some of these folks. Their goals in life are to literally be useless. Ignore them and just do what you gotta do. Don't let anyone alter your decision.

Disregard what the morons are saying about Sprint. Sprint is by far the best value in wireless services. The amount of money you'll be saving will more than make up for any tiny nuisances you'll find with Sprint. Besides, you have 30 days to try out to see if you like it. If you feel it's not worth it to you, just leave and go back... no questions asked.

The EVO is kinda old news now. I would wait for the next big dual core android with AMOLED action. And the number of roms for EVO actually is not all that impressive. Most of them are regurgitations of others. There are a couple of good sense options (although I think rooted stock sense is best) and then there is cyanogen.... which is the best there is IMO... And now it has the extra G.... not that the 4G has been very useful to me.

I average 1.5 to 1.6 Mbps down and 600 to 800 Kbps up.
That ain't bad for 3G.

Yep me too. Occasionally it will be really slow but that only lasts for minutes.
@OP- Answer to your original question- Yes, you can flash ROM after ROM but you need to wipe in between flashing. One of our awesome devs Calkulin made a script that formats everything completely that is an awesome tool to use before flashing. Makes for a good clean install. You can find it in his mods thread in the theme section.

Tips for Increasing Battery life

I found this link in the thread for the new MikG ROM, I did all of this when I was trying out ShiftDeck and noticed a massive increase in battery life.
Just did all (most) of the steps on MikG and even though the ROM hasn't settled in because I just flashed the ROM last night, I am still noticing some increases in battery life .
