    Root [MetroPCS] T-Mobile Cyanogenmod Installer with MetroPCS?

    What happens if you try to use the Cyanogenmod One-Click Installer to upgrade an unrooted MobilePCS Galaxy S4? Does it recognize the phone as T-Mobile and install CM successfully? If so, does the phone lose access to the MetroPCS 4LTE network in a way that can't be rectified in the settings...

    Teardown of All Available Note 3 Iterations?

    Has any reviewer done a teardown of every available model of the Note 3? I'm reading conflicting reports on the DAC chips for the Exynos and Snapdragon models on Forums, but so far, all of it seems to be rumor. I've found tear downs for the US model, but nothing for the Korean and...

    Help MetroPCS Sends Code to Unlock S4 -- with No Instructions!

    So I've owned my S4 for 90 days and paid my bills on time. As other S4 owners on MetroPCS will tell you, that made me eligible for an unlocking code -- as the MetroPCS salesperson who convinced me to buy the phone assured me it would. Sure enough, after requesting the code, I received a...

    Help Typing in Web Fields Is Hellish

    Froyo or not, here's my main complaint about the Epic: It won't let you see the entire text field on a web page when you're using the physical keyboard; moving the cursor within text to the point at which it's in the correct position *and* visible can be hellish. Right now, for example: Can't...

    Freedom of Choice Is Not a Competition

    A few thoughts on what seems an unnecessarily aggravated exchange: 1. I've been watching the discussions about the Evo vs. the Epic for six months now. The really odd thing about the fighting on the Evo/Epic forums is people's apparent lack of awareness that their team is extremely temporary...

    Epic Audio Tests and Reviews -- Post Here!

    Since it's a slow night here at work, I decided to get out my Ray Samuels Hornet headphone amp and a pair of Grado HF1s to AB my Epic against an iPod 5.5G (widely considered to be the best-sounding iPod ever made, which is to say, not indescribably uninteresting) with and without a line out doc...

    Help Soundfiles Quit after Installing Mixzing Update

    Uneasily, I allowed the latest Mixzing update to install. I just had a feeling I shouldn't but was responding to a text when I received the prompt. Immediately afterward, I found that sound files (mp3s, etc.) would suddenly quit after playing for thirty or forty seconds. I hastily uninstalled...

    Yes, Your Epic Can Use USB and Bluetooth on a Mac

    To those who are wondering whether they can connect their Epic to a Mac for USB and bluetooth file transfers: You can absolutely mount your Epic on a Mac. From the Epic's home screen, either go to: (1) Home Screen (Menu Button) > Applications > Development or (2) (under Launcher Pro only)...

    Help App for Better Volume Adjustment?

    Even with stock earbuds, the Epic's lowest volume setting is hot enough to cause hearing damage if used over long periods of time, particularly if the style of music being listened to isn't classical and has a continuous loud dynamic level. With higher quality earbuds like the Etymotic HF2, UE...

    Favorite films for demoing your S AMOLED screen?

    What films, clips or animations do you use to demo your S AMOLED screen? So far, I've been using the opening of Dario Argento's Stendhal Syndrome, but what I should use is a clip from a film involving bioluminescent fish swimming up from the oceanic blackness. Wouldn't that look cool? If I...

    Writing Fiction on the Epic: So Far, so Great

    One of the things I do is in life is write. I've had two books and tons of shorter pieces published so far. Why do I mention this? Because my history pertains to my assessment of the Epic 4G. Lately, I've been leaving my netbook at home and relying my Epic for writing. The reason: I'm...

    Just Posted This "Epic Comment" on Engadget

    It really annoys me that no one in the mainstream press has addressed the upload speed/voice reliability issues on the Epic. The GPS issue needs to be taken care of, but many users in major cities rely on public transportation or have GPS systems in their car: 30m off is frustrating but not a...
