    Carrier IQ - officially real & evil

    Just saw the news this morning about Carrier IQ. I run a ROM without it installed, but since most seem to be stock, I thought y'all might want to see this. Carrier IQ Collects Everything on Android/RIM/Nokia Phones | Analysis | The Mac Observer Software on Android phones 'tracking every key...

    did Sprint's coverage get bigger?

    I have to say over the last 3 months in Fort Lauderdale coverage has pretty much doubled (at least in the areas I frequent). I can get 4G almost everywhere and haven't seen a drop below 2 bars in a long while. Gone are the days (AT LAST!!!!) of only finding out someone needed to speak to me when...

    Sprint 4G coverage vs Verizon

    My neighbours just switched to Verizon for Thunderbolts. I don't even get 4G in Downtown Fort Lauderdale at home or at work. Image my surprise (and frustration) that my neighbour gets excellent 4G in his house. C'mon Sprint, I'm paying for it...lemme have it!

    EB13 and battery life

    Well, thanks for the constructive post. I'm terribly sorry I clogged up the board whining about my battery. 9 hours is far from a full workday for me. I expect a phone to at least manage 12 hours, which my phone did prior to the EB13 update. I can't always be near a plug and I don't want to...

    EB13 and battery life

    My battery life has become disastrous. I took the phone off the charger at 6AM and it just gave me the 15% warning at 2:57PM. I didn't even get 12 hours out of it and I have to put in my spare battery. I made 53 minutes of phone calls and sent/received 55 texts using Google Voice. No web...

    Sprint's Samsung Epic 4g Official Froyo EB13

    Sprint should fire their marketing people. 9pm PST isn't 2/21 for those of us on the East Coast. Why announce something that you know you've kept us waiting for only to mention at the very last second we'll have to wait at least another day?

    Trick to hide a $20 bill in your Epic

    I fail to see the utility in this. Surely it is just simpler to just keep spare cash in your wallet. Or maybe, just spend wisely & not run out of available cash. If you're mugged, you're just giving them a $20 bonus on top of the wallet and phone they've just taken from you. Wouldn't the...

    Make headpones pause/ff/rwd?

    I believe it is my fault for not being totally clear in my original post. I meant using the included wired headphones to do something besides dial the last number I called. My bluetooth headphones were chewed up by the puppy and are now displayed on my desk as post modern art.

    Make headpones pause/ff/rwd?

    Outside of rooting, is there some way to make the headphone control do more than just dial the last person I called? Unfortunately, I'm back to using them since my bluetooth headphones are now toast thanks to my friend's puppy.

    Slim extended battery?

    Actually it is possible to make a thin high capacity battery. It just isn't practical at this time. My neighbour works for Motorola and we had a long talk about this. Yes, you can make the battery, but in the end the cost is so high to the consumer, they wouldn't buy it. Somewhere between...
