kshah 452 Report post Posted December 6, 2010 Gps is perfect I. Dk28. Better accuracy tghan dk18 but takes longer to latch than dk18. Froyo has typical screen update lag which I dislike. Fresh install after wipe causes very few problems Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted December 6, 2010 (edited) GPS issue is being faced by people who had set GPS to cold start from the original hot start - here; Revert back to Hot Start and reboot the phone before proceeding with the update and you wont have GPS issue; Also people doing a factory reset in DI18 before proceeding to DK28 are NOT facing the GPS issue.

dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted December 6, 2010 (edited) ^ hmmm... that may be because your phone was rooted and on a custom rom... well the solutions seems confusing even on xda; best till now for non working gps after froyo update is to revert back to DI18 via odin, get gps lock and then reflash DK28 again via odin.. I have reverted back to DI18 for the time being till I get an actual ota ota... lolz... Edited December 6, 2010 by dkaile Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harshal 11 Report post Posted December 6, 2010 Is anyone using a startup manager/controller for Android/Epic like the one's we have for Windows. Too many apps start when the phone is restarted, especially the Sprint apps. Would be nice to control that. God only knows why a game like Sudoku needs to run in the background when the phone is rebooted, I have uninstalled it since. But would have been better to control what starts.

Greatest 55 Report post Posted December 6, 2010 ^^^ Advanced Task killer will do your job. After reboot, just press the widget and whoosh, your apps are 'killed'... thus saving a lot of memory.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anupe 14 Report post Posted December 6, 2010 I have always used K-9 mail and I tried to use built in client (Gmail) more than 3 times but switched back to K-9 again. Any idea how to set K-9 to idle mode for weekends like some email clients that have a sleep scheduler so that it doesnt ping the servers all night or on weekends? Have had a rough 2 days trying to get my Epic back to DI18(Eclair rom)after the latest froyo update played havoc with my phone. ( No GPS, frequent reboots and apps freeze, absence of rings tone and a few other issues). Finally managed to Odin back to DI18 and when I tried to update to DK28(Froyo rom) I got a failed checksum error from my downloaded file and Odin didnt proceed with the flash to DK28. What has been noticed is that there are some rogue versions of the DK28 tar file being floated around. If you download the DK28 file please do a checksum comparison and make sure it does not bear MD5 383f43ea5a4e6effd2b3fd72f311633a. This particular file version is corrupt and you will not be able to proceed with flashing to Froyo using the Odin method. The file to download is the one which has the MD5 babad9dcbcd357f726b832bb59f81f7f If you're not overly eager to see the pre-released Froyo upgrade , hold back till OTA is announced as this version is not perfect. Lags when switching between portrait and landscape modes has been noticed by many, so hold back if you dont want to be disappointed with the release. That said, the perks of the Froyo update is that you can move your apps (those that are supported, not all) to the SD card, thus freeing up valuable phone memory (I was able to move 90 MB from phone mem to SD card) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
