Just got home with samsung epic.

Is the battery just complete cac or what?

am I doing it wrong?

Battery life on all Android devices is cac. You can run atk all you want, change your settings to not push but what's the point in having a smartphone if you're going to use it like a rzr  :dunno:

Tell me more about this ATK thing.

App that kills apps that are running in the background not being used  supposedly draining the battery. Steve Jobs thinks it's cac, Dan Hesse thinks it's the cac. People are too dumb to realize that all Android phones are constantly locating CDMA and GSM towers no matter what provider they have and that's the reason the battery life is cac. Before I threw my Hero at Steve Welmer's firecrotch I disabled that.

How'd you get it for $100?  Thought it was $200?  Also, did you just put a phone on lay-a-way?

Yeah, I spent quite a bit of time looking for a good price on a phone yesterday.  Didn't really find any on the higher-end Sprint phones.  How do you lay-a-way online?  Just how poor are you anyway?  Like eating catfood poor, or just have to break up $100 in monthly payments poor?

GINGERBREAD BEFORE XMAS?

Quote
The Evo 4G
Yes, your Evo will get Gingerbread, I'm sure of it.  Regardless of which phone the customers think is Sprint's best Android offering, Sprint has a lot riding on the Evo, even five months after its launch.

To round it all out, there's this crazy rumor -- and feel free to ridicule me for not having the link -- that an HTC employee confirmed that HTC wants Gingerbread on the Evo before Christmas, and Sprint wants to be first to market with the update.  Like I said, it's a rumor, but it sounds reasonable.

I read this earlier. Would be awesome.

Cire- It's android 2.3. Supposed to have a lot of performance and battery saving tweaks. also, Honeycomb 3.0 has been talked about recently as well.

Been having trouble with my wifi lately.  It identifies the connection with the checkmark but the little icon doesn't appear at the top of the screen.  Then, when I go back to check, its not connnected.  WTF is that all about?

When I got my Evo in September I had to sign up for Swype beta.  Just got it sent to me 30 min ago, still getting used to it but I love it.

Tried it initially but lost patience quickly.  I think I text too many non-dictionary words like pak, emaw & brothaman.

You can add them very easily.  just type them out with the virtual keyboard letter by letter, then push space key after the word and it is saved.

Too bad you hayseeds have the EVO which doesn't come with swype and have to use the crappy beta version, though.

Mine came with it (both the droid 2 that sd broke and the droid x I replaced it with).

You can blame daris' floor for the first one.  It was fine when it left your hand/the back of my hand.
