Cloud based data services need to be accesed while on wi-fi or you'll probably get your wallet ripped apart

^^^ Drastic battery issues, Chirag? Care to explain the problem? Sent from my Samsung Epicâ„¢ 4G using Tapatalk Pro

Guys who've got the OTA notification, and have been postponing it, I would suggest you download it, even if you dont install it, because, just like DL, I kept postponing the download, and yesterday, while I was asleep, my phone automatically downloaded the 82MB file over EVDO Nervous what my phone bill is going to look like, next month On another note.. other than the non stop reboot problem I had after I did the OTA update to GinB, and which I sorted out by pressing Volume Down+Camera+ Power and doing a factory reset ( lost all my installed apps, but I had them on My Backup Pro, so no damage done), the phone seems to be working perfectly fine. No GPS/ battery or any other issues so far. I'm happy

@#$%^! Sprint! I had to do a factory reset to fix that problem! >:-\

I did the OTA update to Gingerbread for my phone which was running the stock Sprint ROM. After the update installed, the phone keeps rebooting at the start up screen What do I do?

Thank you, Chirag. Let me try it now Will update the outcome tomorrow

Anybody having issues with Gingerbread update on Stock ROM? I have the OTA downloaded but sitting back on it, waiting for input

I came across this very good tutorial for transferring files between your Android phone and Windows PC by using a free app called SwiFTP from the Android Market. Saves you the expense (inconvenience ) of picking up the paid app Websharing or using the cr**ked version of it either I tested this out and its working perfectly fine for me, so I do hope a few of you will find it useful too, for transferring your media files, etc.It is a little slow when transferring big file sizes, but hey, its a freebie and you're not using "unethical" means , so try it if you like. Link to tutorial here: TUTORIAL All thanks to Brian O'Toole, the author, for compiling a very easy to follow tutorial I have also attached a pdf version of the page with all the relevant steps here for those who would like to have the file on hand offline. Wirelessly share phone and PC.pdf

Thanks for the info, Hetal bhai. @Arun: I would suggest making this a sticky. Very important info.

I've been put in a quandary by my best friend who is adamant on getting himself a new CDMA handset for his MTS connection, but the all important criterion was that it should be a handset that uses his current UIM card. I know we have endless choices for non UIM based imported handsets like the Epic, Fascinate, etc. But could somebody suggest an imported or Indian handset that has a UIM card slot in the Rs. 10 - 15k budget??

Thanks, Rajan. I think you've just found me a life saver

Thank you very much, Rajan. Seems like I'm onto a life saver w with that Motorola option

Guys.. this chap is paranoid of an open market ( imported) handset going dead and since it is not under warranty he is scared that he will have to go back and get a UIM card activated once again to use on a local handset till the time he can get his non - sim card based handset fixed. His argument does hold a valid point, in the fact that IF our imported handsets ever conk out, then if we need to keep our number and calls active while we try and repair the handset, we would need unlink the MDN from the imported handset and then apply for a UIM card from the service provider, right??

^^^ Thanks Rajan, . I did look up the Samsung POP.. pretty crappy handset, if you ask me. Underpowered, lousy camera and even lousier battery life.

It has been approximately 18 hours since I upgraded to stock EC05. Data connectivity is based on MDN. So far I have not had a single radio reset issue since installation yesterday. GPS lock outdoors, was in under a minute, with accuracy at less than 3 feet, which is just awesome. on DI18 I never used to get accuracy anywhere below 20 feet. All softwares I was previously using on DI18 have also been re-installed and are working flawlessly. I have to give special mention about battery life, since the new upgrade. My battery was fully charged at 7 am. Since then till now ( over 3 hours) I have been on Wi-fi and have made about 5-6 calls, and email checking, etc.. the battery has not even dropped by 1% Edit: Ok battery life is not as great as I thought.. there wasa glitch in my battery notification.. its actually dropped 7 % in 3 hours, but its still way better than my previous experience of battery life on Eclair

Tapatalk is working perfectly well on stock EC05 as you can see from this post, Chirag. Sent from my Samsung Epic 4G using Tapatalk.

@Deep_kumar: I'm not sure about how the procedure is done on Pixi Plus since it uses webOS which I'm not familiar with. I would suggest you try looking up the thread pertaining to that particular OS as well. If I do find a post that can sort out your issue, I'll PM it to you. Look up this thread to address your problem:

No, rooting is showing problems.. so staying on Stock, unrooted for now

@Renuka Prasad: Glad to hear you have been able to sort out your net connectivity issues. I was just about to write a long winded procedure o try and get the net access working for you, but I'm glad I didnt need to, since you've already sorted it all out. Please feel free to browse the other Android based threads in the forum for useful information on how to get the best possible experience from your Android handset. Cheers!

I have Odined back to DI18 and wiped all previous settings off using Rishi Suri's suggested procedure before downloading and installing EC05 by way of OTA. It has been a bit over 2 hours now after OS update. Phone is currently up and running with no radio re-sets so far or hand-set overheating. Data connectivity is based on MDN.

@renu.iitkgp: Its probably because your Net connectivity log in username/pw for the phone which was programmed for you, is not valid anymore. Please contact the person who you bought the phone from ( if he is from this forum) and ask him to help you ut with the issue. If the person is not available. then we can think of alternate methods to sort out your problem.

I'm using Odin3 v.1.61.. In that version, there is no option to tick box for debug, Also you have not mentioned if the F Reset Time box should be ticked or not. Could you clarify those two points for me please?

Finished OTa update 20 minutes ago.. so far no issues.. I'm migrating softwares onto SD card, so have not been able to run any tests per se.. will keep updating Edit: The moment I started using data (Skype test call from 1x) the radio has reset. When enlarging font/page in default browser, the screen displays checkerboard pattern before displaying magnification Edit 2: Have noticed that the checker board pattern is appearing only in default browser. Web pages are being rendered flawlessly in Dolphin HD browser. Also not seen the radio reset issue after first reported instance. Have been continuously using 1x data for over 90 minutes. No further glitches to report.

Yes Vishal.. waiting on your experience on the official OTA. You're probably the first to get the invite amongst us

This radio reset again seems to a glitch only with Indian users? I did hear they've pulled the plug on the OTA again. Its probably just rumours, but seems a few glitches had been reported for the new upgrade as well
