[EVO 4G General] jstalford:
Sorry for OT, but everything good after the Tornados?

I vote either G2x or Evo 3d, but either way I would wait until the 3d comes out to decide.

Like others said, depends on which carrier gets good service where you are.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
ATT, iPhone 5.
[EVO 4G General] ScottyBeGood:
That would be the last direction I would go.

ATT=No

iPhone 5=No
[EVO 4G General] ECrispy:
the Evo is still a great phone. I don't game so I haven't found an app which is slow or that makes me want to upgrade. The Evo has a fantastic dev community and I'm thinking I will wait until I really need to upgrade. The longer you wait, the better the phones that are available.
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
iphone 5 after an evo? No thanks. The screens tiny.
[EVO 4G General] detusueno:
..but resolution is almost 50% higher... just saying.
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
I heard the iPhone 5 will have a 4" screen, after Jobs was doggin on phones with larger screens. Anyways im definitely upgrading. I have two upgrades on two lines, so I may get the nexus S then the E3d when that drops. My kids always get my hand me down phones so they are excited also.
[EVO 4G General] Lord Pennybags:
My upgrade isn't until next year :(

I wonder what will be out then lol
[EVO 4G General] ScottyBeGood:
The EVO 4D :)
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Yeah I saw on pulse that they're already in production. If sprint got a 4" iPhone 5 count me in! I'd jump ship.
[EVO 4G General] smuglife101:
Stay with the Evo
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
If Sprint gets an iPhone I'm out of the Android game.

I would wait until a month after the 3D launches and troll the forums for any issues that may come up. Once the excitement settles you'll see threads pop up with flaws and issues.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
+1 lol. Been long run since my g1 but I wouldn't look back not once.
[EVO 4G General] thunder2132:
I voted stay with sprint and keep the Evo. It's still one of the highest rated phones on the market, and the best phone for Sprint (assuming you like sense or don't like slide-outs). Sprint may not have the best coverage but they are so much cheaper than anyone else in the contract game. When the Evo 3D comes out I may trade my Evo in for it, but that depends on the reviews.
[EVO 4G General] J Snazzy:
I would probably wait unless you wanted to switch carriers. Let the dual cores roll out so can see what's up with them.

Perhaps we will see a dual core nexus :D
[EVO 4G General] ScottyBeGood:
+1, looking forward to seeing the next nexus. :)
[EVO 4G General] nae36:
Evo for now, wait for the duel core reviews. As of right now I'm not really feeling the Evo 3d. I guess hands on might change that
[EVO 4G General] zer0-1ne:
Evo 3D ftw!!!!!
[EVO 4G General] AlwardC:
EVO 3d. 100%

"I would prefer to be hated for who I am..... than loved for who I am not. "
[EVO 4G General] Quis89:
The iPhone is sooo overrated. I don't get it. I'd stay with Android even if Sprint got an iPhone.
[EVO 4G General] NYCguy2020:
That new Galaxy S 2 is a bad azz.this is my next phone.if sprint doesn't get it then it's T-mo for me.
[EVO 4G General] tea_dub84:
EVO 3D will be Epic!!!!
[EVO 4G General] jordant2:
Definitely go with the Evo 3d. I'm already on bestbuy's list to be contacted when pre-orders start. But it's the highest spec'd phone to date. 1.2 dual core snapdragon, can't wait!
[EVO 4G General] ecsinusa:
Scotty hang tight with the evo for a bit.... Keep your upgrade ready for June'ish..... Switching carriers will just get you stuck with hidden charges... word around the office is some big stuff coming up but they keep that stuff under wraps so I have no clue what it is, and couldn't say if I did. But last big hush was the evo.... So one can only speculate right?
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
my next phone is the nexus s 4g. ill only stick with sprint if they fix the network issues. ill find out in the next two weeks.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
rumors are strong that the iphone 5 with come to sprint with 4g. despite what users say i bet that phone will sell like hotcakes.
[EVO 4G General] Bert2662:
Man, jz go for EVO 3D, you would never regret bout it.
[EVO 4G General] ScottyBeGood:
I agree, I could see the iPhone being released to Sprint and watching everyone jump on the bandwagon. Personally, I don't like Apple, its backwards. Oh, and I don't own an iPad.... Although, thinking about that new EVO View.:) I love my GMail and there is nothing that provides it better than Android.

Since, posting this thread several days ago, I am leaning towards upgrading. Think I will be picking up the new 3D, EVO is by far the best phone on the market.
[EVO 4G General] Neo3D:
Evo 3D or Samsung Galaxy S II.

I would never get the iPhone 5, not after being used to the freedom from iTunes locking down your ****.
[EVO 4G General] ECrispy:
iPhone 5 on Sprint would be fantastic. Not that I'd get it, but it would mean millions for Sprint and I want my favorite carrier to survive.
[EVO 4G General] ECrispy:
It is not the highest spec'd phone, many other phones also have 1.2ghz dual cores.

Hello,

I'm looking for the original wallpaper we can see on many shots of the Optimus X2, like the following one in attached file.

I've look on this forum, on google too ("lg optimus x2 wallpaper"), but nothing so far. I surely made a mistake but if I try on google, i can't find it.

So, anyone can help me please? It's for my Samsung Galaxy S.

The past few days people are telling me that they have been trying to call me but my phone never rings and I dont get missed calls. I am running ec01 with jts latest voodoo...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chopper the dog:
That's where the DL09 modem comes in handy. That crap happened to me starting with the EB01 modem. Another stupid step that helps (which we shouldn't have to do) is to reboot device in airplane mode. Or your friends are just lying and really don't wanna talk to you.

good day.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SotYPL:
Airplane mode toggle doesn't help (for me at least). I had this problem with EB01 and EC01 radio with different roms and kernels. Going back to EA28/DL09 radio is the only way to have reliable phone for me.

To OP: where are you from? I see that mostly people from Chicagoland area have this problem so...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowtech80:
Same exact thing happened to me first morning after jumping to EC01. Reboot fixed the problem for me. Haven't received any voicemails without receiving missed calls since, so I'm assuming the problem is fixed.

EC01/nitro honeycomb
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SotYPL:
Maybe it's fixed but you never know. On EB01 I've had this problem once and then it was working fine for 2 weeks but had it again and when I really needed to reached by phone. EC01 was fine for 2 days also but it happened again. So it was not acceptable for me and I went back to EA28 radio. Maybe next radio release (if ever) will be better.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlinth:
same problem for me running ec01 rom and radio ...went back to sc2.9.2 with dl09...people tell me that they try and try with no answer on ec01...oh well
[Thunderbolt General] bigcanoe:
Hey all,

What is the function of the small indented circle below the kickstand on the back of the TB?
[Thunderbolt General] IISiDeK1CKII:
It covers a screw to open the phone.
[Thunderbolt General] SirBindy:
It's a rubber plug. Probably covering a screw.
[Thunderbolt General] bmcclure937:
Does this cover a screw?! I always thought it covered one of those external antenna ports (like you used to see back in the 90s)...

If you stick a safety pin into the rubber cover then you should be able to easily pop it off and see for yourself. ;)
[Thunderbolt General] JBO1018:
I'm pretty sure its for an external antenna as a lot of cases have a hole for it.

[Thunderbolt General] IISiDeK1CKII:

[Thunderbolt General] tlgem:
Its like a miniature coax plug for an external cell phone antenna :)

The plug isn't easy to get out & can be pushed through the hole when reinstalling it so be careful if you get curious & check it out

[Thunderbolt General] mike.s:
Like this...?
[Thunderbolt General] Blacksheep427:
So....what did you find?

Just asking. :cool:
[Thunderbolt General] Blacksheep427:
OK, copy that. Thanks for correcting me. Any points for being close? :cool:

Captain Obvious observation: the spot in question, the hole next to the 3.5 jack and the twin holes to the left of the rear camera must "do" something. My gel skin has cut-outs for each.
[Thunderbolt General] kierandill:
Coax, it is, then. Good, because I've been looking at LTE-compatible antennas.
[Thunderbolt General] mike.s:
The twin holes are for the antenna which is on the outside of the battery cover. Inside, you'll see some gold plating, that carries through the holes, and there's more plating on the outside (which is painted over), which forms an antenna. The holes just connect the inside and outside together. There's no reason for a case to have openings there.
[Thunderbolt General] Blacksheep427:
Copy. Personally I hardly notice them. I obviously did take notice due to this post. Despite the "bugs" in the TB, it works and that is all that matters. I am just looking forward to it getting better when 4G is active for my home area and the update to Android 2.3.

so its fair to say that some htc people have no idea what is going on?

Thank you for clearing that up :)
[Thunderbolt General] madman34:
Antenna connector it is

I think the rep from HTC asked someone in the room who also did not know or purposly provided false data to discourage tampering. I think the lady just did not know. I poped it off the day I got it and found that I do have a connector in my kit that fits it from wilson antenna, not sure the number cause they are all in a box. Anyway, I know that the LTE is 700mhz and is on seperate antenna so do not know if they have the 800/1900 or 700 on that one, maybe it IS all multiplexed together at that one but no time yet to set up a jig and see, very busy at work, but I will.
[Thunderbolt General] IISiDeK1CKII:
meh.. I thought I could quell the uprising in here (the butthole pun... I tried to stop it)

I wasn't willing to dismantle my phone, good job on you discovery, although I am sure there will be 15 more posts just like this in the next few weeks. People are like "F**K the search function!!"

Man... and I thought it was a buttplug...

To prevent spam to the forums, new users must wait five minutes between posts FTL!
[Thunderbolt General] Alcoholic Dali:
I was also wondering about that. Does anyone know of an antenna that will actually work with the phone for LTE?
[Thunderbolt General] :
has anyone touched the rubber dot while holding a rabbit ears in their other hand and watch carefully the signal bars? when i did my signal went from two to three bars!

+1. Thanks for info/research.
[Thunderbolt General] tommyz23:
I find it interesting that the jack will only Tx/Rx cdma 1x. But, the EVDO/LTE is Receive only.

I wonder how this would effect real world use of an external antenna.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Matchstick:
Asus UK have published a Press Release with more information on supplies of the Transformer in the UK

http://asus.co.uk/pr/press-release/stock-availability-update/

They say that the delays have been caused by "a number of additional testing procedures for the Eee Pad Transformer to ensure an unrivalled user-experience" but that they "are now due to receive a significant quantity of both Eee Pad Transformers and keyboard docks at the end of April/early May (exact date will depend on customs clearance and freight forwarding to our retailers)"

Hopefully that should mean that Amazon etc will be shipping well in advance of the 1st June date they are currently lists and also that people who've ordered the keyboard direct from Asus won't have to wait too long for it.

The reference to "additional testing" is strange and I wonder if they've delayed the shipment in order to ensure it ships with the updated firmware we're expecting RSN.

And it does look like Asus are pleasantly surprised with how well the Transformer has done in initial sales, which bodes well for ongoing support from Asus as well as the honeycomb platform in general.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] psinno:
"We anticipate the additional stock being distributed amongst Comet, PC World, Currys and Carphone Warehouse stores late April/early May, whilst Amazon.co.uk and Ebuyer.com are also taking pre-orders."

As far as I can tell Comet currently have stock available for sale even without receiving new units. Selfishly all I care about is Amazon (since they ship outside of the UK) and ASUS explicitly say they are not giving them any stock.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wilbur-force:
Well I ordered online from comet and have a delivery date of 28/04. Fingers crossed as the keyboard for 50 quid deal requires registering by 29/04 :eek:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] foxmeister:
I expect Asus will probably extend that offer!

Regards,

Dave
[Eee Pad Transformer General] redmongoose:
Yes, I am awaiting an exchange on my orginal one by comet.

They were scheduled to exchange Thursday 21st but have now called to say they will exchange it on the 29th.

Whilst on the phone I was told stock would be coming into the UK this weekend (Sat 23rd / Sun 24th) and delivered to comet on the 27th for possible delivery on 28th or 29th.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] IQn:
Amazon should get a shipment this time, it's just the way they wrote it.

Got to the Asus UK site on facebook and read the comments on this ( Sorry i cant link cuz i havent posted 8 times on this site :confused: )

[Eee Pad Transformer General] djklmnop:
Very uncool! They release an update for UK's delay but none for US release.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] psinno:
Not sure I put much faith in a Facebook comment when it seems to contradict a press release. If they meant Amazon are getting stock then they put a lot of work into misleading me. That said it did seem a little strange mentioning Amazon if they were getting no stock.

i emailed them today as i don't get mine until 28th .Sent a copy of the order and they said even if delayed i will not miss out they have kept my record on file and i need to email them the serial number when i get it
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lytnus:
I just hope that this stock news means those who ordered the keyboard as part of the keyboard promotion (ie. me :D) won't have to wait too long to get their hands on one!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
I was on a plane once that was just getting ready to take off when the pilot got on the intercom and announced a delay due to a part being replaced. I was happy with the delay, of course--rather that than the part not be replaced.

If Asus found some serious bug (or hardware flaw) and decided to slow things down to get it fixed, then good for them. It means what we'll end up getting will be that much better.

Can't wait...

Hey guys,

I am trying to port the ClockworkMod recovery to the incredible S, and everything goes fine until the last step, getting the files neccessary from the recovery image using mkvendor.sh works, but it produces a kernel that is 1.8GB (!), so when I go to build, the recovery is far too large and it aborts.

Anyone know why this might be happening? Surely the kernel can't be that big, the recovery partition is only ~8.5MB and the dd of the recovery come out the same, so how is the kernel so huge?

Any help will be greatly appreciated

EDIT

I have uploaded the dump if anyone needs / wants to take a look: http://www.multiupload.com/JSY1HUI6Y7
[Android Software Development] marcnvidic:
What guide are you following, if any?

For example
[Android Software Development] vido.ardes:
Yes, that's the guide I initially used
[Android Software Development] marcnvidic:
Try this,

Get a working ROM for the Incredible S, and extract boot.img

Extract the the kernel from the .img and place it in your

<android-source-root>/out/target/product/<phone>/

-- overwriting the 1.8GB kernel (ie recovery-kernel)

Then run

make recoveryimage

to pack it into an img
[Android Software Development] vido.ardes:
I got a file called boot.img-kernel.gz which wouldn't open as an archive so I just renamed it 'kernel' and that got the image built... now to see if it flashes! thanks for the pointer
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galtom:
Hi,

I have asked Asus Poland (on FB) few questions about video playback abilities of transformer... no I am confused :-)

http://on.fb.me/hAiLml - translation below:

I own Asus 1201N and I want to have the same video capabilities on tablet as I ahve on netbook....so I have asked at the source (since Xoom can not do it :-( )

ME:

Asus Poland reply:

What do you guys think... either Transformer and ASUS are so great and they have added extra bits to reference Tegra 2 platform..... or ...

Tegra 2 itself is ok and it is just a Xoom that is not very good at video playback...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
I think they are a little lost. Or they thought you are asking for Asus Slate not Transformer. Or maybe both. ;) It's good to know that they honour the warrancy on tablets bough abroad (I intend to buy Tranformer in UK). [I'm from Poland too, didn't set it up in my profile here]
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galtom:
You might be right - when I look at it now... :-)

I have asked question (about transformer) on their Wall... and they have asked me (after few days without reply) to ask again in the discussion section.

When I was writing I completely forgot about EP121 Windows Tablet....

What is more when I did remember I thought it was clear (since I only repeat the questions I have already asked) that we talk about Transformer.

I will clarify it for them ;-)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kermode:
But isn't 720p the low profile regardless, its the 1080p version which is high.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galtom:
Resolution has nothing to do with video profile.

There are 3 profiles - base line, main and high

Tegra 2 can play:

all in base line profile (almost 0 stuff to download is encoded this way)

main profile 720p only (but again not much to download... I have not found a single movie coded this way)

nothing (720p and above) in high profile

This means:

You either re-encode (and waste taime) or you do not watch...

QUESTION!

One of the reasons I do not own an iPad was a similar restriction of video playback, however I have been told that AVPlayer HD plays all kinds of stuff on iPad - do you guys know if it is true?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galtom:
I have an update from Asus Poland.

I have asked them again (with clarification that I am asking about Transformer).

Will it play h.264 (mkv) high profile 720p?

ANSWER:

So... I have asked yet again...

Can any of owners confirm (either way) if video 720p. h.264 (mkv) high profile plays ... or not?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I've tried a couple, and the answer is no.
