[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Sense has the interface of stock, like out of the box. Has the HTC widgets, apps, sprint zone, ect will work. CM7 is AOSP [Android Open Source Project] and doesn't support sense. So no sense apps, sprint apps will work. has the vanilla launcher and the "sense" interface is removed, making it lighter. If you look at rom sizes, CM7 and AOSP is ~85mb while sense roms are at least 120mb+. Both offer customization respectively.

Though while on CM7, if you wanted to update your prl, you'd have to flash a sense rom, update, then flash back, but that only take 5 minutes.

Personally I prefer it over sense. But I still recommend you give it a shot at least once, even if you don't stay on it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
i'd also use cm7. great rom. aosp based. everything (at least partially) works. even 4g (man was that a struggle. 4 month long project done by 2 guys). it's all personal preferance as seen by your 5 different answers. cm7 is faster, much snappier, based off gingerbread (which means better battery, and screen on/off animations) much much smaller, looks better, and the themes that roll out for it are crazy good. try it. don't run for 20 minutes and say you don't like it, actually try it for a few days. i flashed it one day just to try, and then got stuck with it while at my grandparents. couldn't flash anythign else bcuz no reception and crappy internet. after 2 days, i never wanted to go back to sense.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
I would try a sense rom initially. I've been using what's in my sig for the last 3 months. I found it to be most vanilla without the sprint bloat. I don't care much for themes (to an extent). Keep it basic and simple.

Familiarize yourself with what's unlocked compared to the stock software. Maybe even run several different ones to see what the difference is. Give each a reasonable amount of time to become familiar with it (a day?). I mentioned this in a different thread, but worth restating. With the same launcher installed in both a sense and CM rom, the user experience can be mirrored very closely. The differences are more in the inner workings of the rom, the settings, having access to nearly imaginable setting (cm7). If you don't follow this order of progression, you won't be able to appreciate what each has to offer (and not offer).

Keep in mind, if you go off the sense reservation (even by changing launchers in a sense rom), many/most of the sense widgets are no longer accessible. Widgets such as the clock, calendar, etc. This is not a huge issue as there is at least a dozen apps available for each of the sense options, but something to be aware of.

i actually love calkulin's 1.7.7. his 1.8 is not good and actually screwed up a bunch of phones (including mine) and fixing was hard and basically included flashing away, wiping, flashing back, hoping, testing, dissapointment, and flashing away to try to fix. it turned off simultainius data and cell service on ALL ROMS. so i got 40 texts and 3 missed call notifications if i made a phone call, with nothing beforehand. 1.7.7 is bugless though, very fast, stable, and all around a great rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECrispy:
Get comfortable with nandroid. Become good friends with recovery, and flashing zips.

After that its all personal preference and your hardware. Once you root, you really owe it to yourself to try out the major rom's out there and decide for yourself. At the very least try out a Sense rom, a CM7 or variant like deck's, and MIUI.

That's really the only way because there's no 'best rom' out there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsWLM:
should i nandroid backup before i root? or just after unrevoked has run it's course?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
you can't before you root. make sure to do so right after. i'd also switch to amon ra recovery. far superior to clockworkmod.

VERY IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE YOU ALWAYS HAVE AT LEAST ONE BACKUP OF YOUR WIMAX PARTITION STORED ON YOUR PHONE, COMPUTER, ONLINE BACKUP, ETC. IF YOU LOSE YOUR RSA KEYS, AND DONT HAVE A BACKUP, THEN YOU CAN NEVER GET 4G EVER AGAIN WITHOUT A BRAND NEW PHONE.

Hello, today I was trying to purchase an app on the market and decided to try billing the app to my Sprint bill, but for some reason it keeps saying there was an error in the server and to retry. I tried this with multiple apps, same thing. Any fix for this? I tried rebooting and turning on wifi, no luck.

Thanks, in advance

My wife bought an app yesterday and charged it to the Sprint bill, but it never downloaded. It's stuck at "Authorizing purchase". We emailed the app developer and they responded saying that it shows the same thing on their end. They offered to refund us if it doesn't eventually download.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] || Acer ||:
Crap, I got stock on the "Authorized Purchase" too but it said the server failed. Does that mean I payed for an app I don't even have? Because I pressed that button a bunch of times XD
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iSaint:
You have me worried also .... because i did this same thing with one app like 12 times.... it always froze and gave me the retry message :(

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NT_Prototype:
Well me personally that feature with billing to carrier is actually great, i havent had any problems with it what so ever, i purchased 2 apps with that feature, so i cant say, will be updating if any problems persist, but the downside bout it is if it does hang while in the middle of the purches sometimes u do get charged but u wont noticed it until next month, if u dont get billed then ull be lucky...thats why its always better to use a credit card cuz its instantly.

thats happened to me before with gameloft where i tried purchasing a game throught their website got an it got stuck at the purchase area for some reason it said game purchased after refreshing went back to download the game after i closed the browser and gameloft said i never bought the game..... looked at my bill next month and it said iwas charged fr a game which i never got....had it refunded...

i also forgot to mention that, that feature usually only works if ure carrier allows u to bill it to ure phone, some people have reported that thy have tried purchasing apps throught their phones but had no success because they didnt have that feature itself in their account even thought the sites or market had it...its like if u go to sprint and u dont got the money to purchase an item, u got the option if bill it to ure account, if u dont got that feature then thats practically useless.......if u think bout it, it makes sence

what worked for me in installing the driver was the use of PDAnet, in both Win7 64 bit and WinXP 32

if you decide to go this route you dont need to use the app it installs onto your phone as long as the driver is installed via the .exe

[HTC Incredible S] rustybojangles:
Anyone else here having hissing/crackling in the background on calls with people?

I have checked settings, I'm not roaming, and the phone is stock out of the box.

With the speaker up to highest and 2nd highest setting I can hear hissing and crackling on several calls. People on the other end say they can hear themselves echoing as well.

Tested a Nexus S and iPhone and both don't have the problem.

Wondering if its just a bad device or issue with the quality of the speaker in the phone(which HTC is known for)
[HTC Incredible S] rustybojangles:
To be more specific, the dead air(in between conversation) sounds hissy/crackling.

I can also hear myself in the earpiece when I talk.

Tried same SIM on nexus s and iphone 4(no problems)
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
erhm.... LOL?

idk where ur livin or what kinda of provider ur using, but im like 100% sure no one in holland or surrounded (since i dont know the state of other country's have this problem)

so no...
[HTC Incredible S] rustybojangles:
Thank you for that informative reply....
[HTC Incredible S] kukucskad:
Hi! I wrote it before, because i have the same problem in Hungary... People say they dont understand what iam saying... Echoing everytime.. i try it with another sim it wasnt better...

What can we do whit it??? Iam very angry about it!
[HTC Incredible S] knightrocker:
I have a very faint hollowness in the call ... Fells like im talking in a cave ... But i kinda like it :)
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
your very welcome, and most likely its your provider not the phone, forgot to finish my sentence sometimes im busy and forget to add the rest of what i wanted to say.
[HTC Incredible S] rustybojangles:
Turns out, if the volume is turned up anything beyond 50% of the volume rocker, the sound distorts and can hear very low crackling.

With setting 50% and below crackling is not there.

Maybe a blown speaker? Can anyone test this out on their IS so I know whether to swap it out or not.

Thanks
[HTC Incredible S] Leggenda:
With the higher volume than 70%, i can hear a little crackilng... So, same problem!
[HTC Incredible S] BNQ:
Same problem here, but not with all people (60 % problems ; 40 % - OK.), just with some of them (Nokia users in special) :(
[HTC Incredible S] Leggenda:
Which problem? Eco or crackling?
[HTC Incredible S] Leggenda:
Can someone do some test about the crackling problem?
[HTC Incredible S] carsmovies:
Exactly how I'd describe the sound quality of the Incredible S.
[HTC Incredible S] Leggenda:
Is there crackling problem on your device at highest volume?

Sorry for my bad english.
[HTC Incredible S] carsmovies:
I wouldn't say there's crackling but it does sound a little harsh.
[HTC Incredible S] Leggenda:
I don't understand what you mean...
[HTC Incredible S] carsmovies:
Raspy.....
[HTC Incredible S] BNQ:
Eco :( (is heard by the person that I am talking to)
[HTC Incredible S] Leggenda:
Waiting for new feedback about crackling problem...
[HTC Incredible S] droidafx:
Just bought one of these and made first phone call. I always have earpiece volume on full on every phone I have and I could definitely hear a faint but noticeable buzz / distortion from earpiece when other person spoke.

Oh well I've got 7 days to find a fix or it goes back. I wonder if these are faulty units or all incredible s devices do this.

Can owners who don't have this problem at all chime in ?

Is NVFlash absolutely necessary to start with?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebadfrog:
no but you better be prepared for it as about half the new tabs wont flash gb roms without nvflash first
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] triggerftu:
Even easer way.

Find z4root and install.

Permanent root

Find Rom manager install.

Flash cwm

Download cm7 from Rom manager.

Don't forget gapps

Click backup and wipe.

Enjoy

Sent from my GTablet-TnT-Lite
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebadfrog:
1. z4root is unnecessery

2. Never use Rom Manager on a GTablet right now

3. Flash bekit 0.8 from the link I provided

4. Don't flash Roms from Rom Manager on the GTablet

5. 50% chance you will still be nvflashing as your partitions will be backwards

If by some miracle Rom Manager doesnt give you a "Magic Value Mistmatch" right away it will at some point and you will be nvflashing anyway
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] triggerftu:
Really this all being exact what I did w/o issue not once but,multiple times with 100% success. And btw nvflash is NOT required. Also if you want to use cm ya gotta learn to play with the tools to do so.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gojimi:
AT this POINT in time.... regardless of others successes.... ROM MANAGER is not a good idea for the G-Tablet. It more than likely will cause the issues BadFrog suggests previously.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebadfrog:
What works for one tab does not work for another always. As far as tools go I am recommending he learn the tools that will benefit him when his tab crashes at some point and Rom Manager is not it.

Well seeing how it is pointed tword CM7 the major worry about the new bootloader is minamal unless this person has ended up with a tablet with 1.2 preinstalled then yes useing nvflash is segested. But only to downgrade the bootloader. We arn't talking about a rom modifacation but a full change in the rom. That is what cm is not like tnt not like vegan and not like gadam.

Sent from my GTablet-TnT-Lite
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebadfrog:
Rom Manager has never been a good idea on the G Tablet. It has caused issues since the beginning. The new cwm works on some tabs and not others. bekit 0.8 works on all tabs. Some tabs can not use gingerbread roms with out nvflashing reguardless of what rom is already on there. You have been extremely lucky and that is not the norm. This has nothing to do with 1.1 vs 1.2
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FtrV8:
Just charging the tablet right now out the box. Waiting for a definitive route. :-(
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FtrV8:
So I gather. NVFlash, Clockwork, partition (as CW) will allow me to do so, and then flash CM7 zip.

Sound correct?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebadfrog:
You may not need to nvflash. Im suggesting you set it up just in case. If you install bekit 0.8 and then cm7 and it gets stuck on the vs birds then you will be nvflashing. If it doesnt then you are okay

Easiest thing to do with a brand new gtab.

Step 1: Return your gtab.

Step 2: Go to an Apple store.

Step 3: Buy an ipad 2.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FtrV8:
Got one of those as well.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
Ok, then just do step 1 and you're all done.

I love my gtab with all my heart, and my elderly dad loves his gtab. This is why I am discouraging everyone I come in contact with from getting this device. It ain't no ipad. What people will do is get this device thinking it's an ipad and then they get a huge disappointment when they figure out they have to do some work. If you already got an ipad 2, then buy another one. We don't need more people who bought this device thinking it's an ipad.

Sorry if that came out cranky. I'm having to deal with people who don't understand the difference between a customizable tablet and a locked down tablet.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] triggerftu:
Personally I have to deal with people like that on the cm forums all the time. But in my case they cannot tell the difference between an android phone (HTC, samsung, Motorola, Sony) and the Motorola Droid. People comeing in "i got a Droid from T-Mobile how do install this" kinda stuff. Then there's apple fan boys that joined the gameing forum. So yeah.

On topic. Dude pick your poison on how ya like to install your Rom. They all basicly work. Oh and on the RM comment the only cwm available for flashing through rom manager is the bekkit .8 cwm the reason I segest it is a 1 click method is easyer for a noob at the gtab than making things complecated. Finding nvflash alone was a trick to find on nvidia's website. So telling a person to root,flash,restart and install (after backing up the rom ) is easyer than tethering multiple times and restating the device 5times to get it all done.
