Android 2.2 fixes this and you can also view contacts by surname first etc.

@All Epic Users - Kindly update to the official DI 18 update asap... many gps and wifi issues are solved by that...

also uninstall any unsigned and beta apps; that can also cause wifi and gps issues

also remember reboot in android devices = shut off phone - then remove battery and sd card - wait 30 seconds - reinsert battery and sd card - switch on phone

My Wifi issue in Post#124 has been resolved thanks to DK. The issue was being caused by the app called SwiFTP which I had installed a few days ago for sharing the phone with PC wirelessly. On uninstalling the rogue app, my wifi issues have been fixed! Yay! :D

Caveat: Do not install SwiFTP. I had started a thread in the Android section with the title :"Wirelessly Transfer Files to/from Your Android Phone and Windows PC" Please do not install it or use that app, until further updates and the issues have been properly solved. I have sent a mail to the developer of the app as well, notifying him about the issue.

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but I discovered that you can back up all your contacts onto your SD card in vcard format. ( linked accounts included) To do this,

  • Open your contacts application
  • Make sure All contacts are visible, unless you only want to back up certain groups.
  • Hit the menu button
  • Hit the Import/Export button

I'm presuming this will work for the HTC phones as well.

I dont think u could ever do multiple chat in windows mobile ever; android is far far superior to anything windows ever created; small lacunas are always there as with all developing os's; though contacts name handling in android was always a known weakness; it needs one time adaptating to the new os, and then I can promise you you would never like to go back to wm...

as hetal said, I think fring allows you to do that... also there are many programs available for that... just google search... one more is digsby... one more is meebo... link here - http://www.meebo.com/android/

for using multiple gtalk accounts on pc, here's the simple hack - http://www.addictive...-a-simple-hack/

however its a known google issue. Go here and click the star on top - http://code.google.c.../detail?id=4832 so that google solves it more quickly. PS- Oh, I see, you already commented... lolz... good on u..

on a personal note - I liked android because somehow it suited my personality. I like to keep things simple in my life, so does android. I keep only 1 main gmail account. Though I have created 5-6 more for business and family but forward mail from all those to my 1 single account. So things consolidate for me into 1 account. However, no 2 persons are alike; so android cannot fulfill everyone's aspirations... but its getting close..

ask your seller to configure your phone's userid and pw properly; thats where your problem lies...

btw, who uses Rworld anymore? use proper username and pw with a proper plan....

@all prospective smartphone/epic/fascinate buyers-

You see I have told so many times its only half the job done when you buy a smartphone; but if its not properly configured you will never be able to use its full potential... so its very important from WHOME you buy and on whose advice.... otherwise you will keep on facing issues like this and keep loosing your hard earned money...

PS - I have no vested interest in any seller and this information is just given in good faith....

Proud Owner of Epic 4g.

Great review/guide/reference in one place. Thanks Dhiraj Bhai.

Newbie to samartphones and android world, but neverthless as techie, I want to make my hands dirty.

My Experience:

Wifi is super fast...

Stock ROM is little inadequete.. So looking fwd for rooting and custom ROMS.

Multimedia is best..because of GPU and Super Amoled. No Match I guess.

No Data yet from reliance.(How do I enable Data(1x as of now)?)

Android market is simple and superb.(Want to start with android development)

Dhiraj bhai..

Can we have Internet on Epic using bluetooth connected to Laptop where net is present, using GN OR NAP?

Read about it at http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Manually_using_Bluetooth

Froyo, Ver DK17, Stock is good ROM without considerable improvement in speed. FROYO is visually more apealing for sure. SInce mail client I use - K9 crashes too often, I had to revert to 2.1

Its worth trying though because of almost instant GPS locking, GPS accuracy achieved was upto 2.7 meters against 30 meters in case of 2.1
