[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kampf:
If T-Mobile does mess with the US release, I could see using it on EDGE, but I think it's a compromise I'd soon regret.

So TMo has the Samsung Vibrant and the Galaxy S 4G. What would they call the Galaxy S II?

Galaxy II 4G? Vibrant II? GS2?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Success100:
hell, in your case switch to att, you mean you cant afford the phone or price plans?

me too, I think id be able to deal with it for the first few weeks, but after the wow factor wears off. I think id be very sore about it. thats the debate im fighting with right now.

and hmm, good question. i think the name Galaxy ULTRA would me a sweet name for it

I did a system dump of the New Casio Commando for Verizon in the USA. I have pulled out alot of the apks and they work flawlessly on the X10.

The launcher installs but force closes on start. I tried to find a video of it running and all the unboxing videos barely show off the launcher and custom lockscreen.

it's built with a minsdkversion of 8 and minandroidversion of 8, which is 2.2.1 or higher recommended. i cannot get this to install on 2.1 even with decompiling and changing the min-required versions to 3 (1.6 and up). it may work on wolf's or j's 2.2 roms if it's placed in system/app and the permissions changed.

i doubt any changes to build.prop would help. would have to change the app itself.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeamPCB:
I am running the new Google Talk app on AOSP Android 2.3.4. I could verify that voice / video chat works, by calling a GMail Talk client (Win7 PC).

I would like to use this feature in the opposite direction and place voice / video chats to my Android device from this Win7 PC, but GMail tells me, the other client doesn't have the capability of voice / video chat.

What am I missing?

Regards,

Markus
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madd0g:
Have you ticked the option "Show available for video/voice" when going online on Gtalk ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeamPCB:
I can't find that option in the Android client's settings. There are only settings for voice / video notifications.

Edit:

Got it. It's not in the settings menu, I had to tap my own avatar in the contacts list and got the checkbox. Thanks a million.

It official, Best Buy is taking pre orders I called my Best Buy and they confirmed. This is going unannounced for now according to a Best Buy letter. Here is the link.

BB is now my first stop when I get off work.
[HTC EVO 3D] iSaint:
Still trying to decide between this and NS4G....

It sounds stupid but software wise the nexus will be dominant but Evo's Hardware kills.....

So im not pre ordering till i find out everything is unlocked and isn't encrypted like the boot loader

You don't know what you want because you don't know left from right.

[HTC EVO 3D] jvs60:
^^^what he said
[HTC EVO 3D] iSaint:
E3D Is where its at ;)

Finally realized that.
[HTC EVO 3D] monkeychef:
That's what XDA is for right? I think a few devs are moving from Evo to Evo 3D, so there will probably be quite a few stable roms after the release.

As far as a bootloader, maybe someone will crack it? I only hope HTC and Sprint aren't going down that road.
[HTC EVO 3D] Philosophy757:
I'm wondering what they are going to want you to put down on it.
[HTC EVO 3D] ttieder:
Just preodered mine 50 bucks
[HTC EVO 3D] demo27vol1:
Is there any advantages of pre ordering or buying from Best Buy instead of Sprint? Thanks in advance.
[HTC EVO 3D] jyan_osu:
Just did my preorder. Advantage from best buy is I don't have to send in the rebate. It's instantly taken off when you buy it
[HTC EVO 3D] sdc177:
Probably being able to preorder from BB would be the biggest advantage.
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
I've got $10 gift card to use towards something there! How much is the phone when you pre-order? $200 with 2yr contract?
[HTC EVO 3D] demo27vol1:
Sprint is also doing the instant rebate until June 4th, and i think the E3 is comming out on the same day? I guess my safe bet is just to go with Best Buy.
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
Does BB charge phone to your sprint account, or cash up front?

edit...sprint allows me to charge phones to my bill
[HTC EVO 3D] Droga:
Really??? I only thought that T-Mobile was the only one that did that (at least in Puerto Rico, T-Mobile lets you get any phone and split the total cost in 4 payments that get added to your next 4 billing statements). If Sprint does this, then this is a no-brainer.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Pre Ordered Last Night

Pre ordered my EVO 3D last night from the Best Buy on 23rd and 6th ave in NYC.

The store on 62nd and Broadway hadn't heard about it and were a bit ignorant (told me TMO Nexus S works on any carrier, including Sprint and Verizon. Argued it had GSM and CDMA radio in it...)

The pre order cost me $50, which they put onto a gift card and had me fill out a small paper with name and phone number which they entered into their system.

Also, they didn't check my current sprint account.

Hope that helps anybody curious about the process. Very quick and simple when the store is aware of the EVO 3D pre order!
[HTC EVO 3D] epsix:
Are you kidding me? Nexus S is dead they can't even port TouchWiz to NS and it's from samsung. Talk about development phone... Yeah with only AOSP, MIUI, and Google updates. That thread is dead
[HTC EVO 3D] iSaint:
****... Never even looked at their threads just assumed that it would be doing good .....

never shouldve assumed

Sorry for my ignorance guys :o
[HTC EVO 3D] solver404:
Got the email from best buy and going to preorder today edit: or tomorrow. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] themuffinman:
You only have this option with sprint, bestbuy will have to be cash, check or credit card.
[HTC EVO 3D] themuffinman:
Yes sprint allows this but you bill has to be paid in full when you get the bill. Also keep in mind that the ability to charge items to your account will also be based on your account standing so not everyone will qualify for it.
[HTC EVO 3D] mattfmartin:
Can you preorder if your not a sprint customer yet? I'm with tmobile at the moment.
[HTC EVO 3D] Philosophy757:
Yes you can. They didn't even ask if I had cell phone service when I did mine.
[HTC EVO 3D] mattfmartin:
Sweet, guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow;p
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
My luck I will be broke on release day and BB would sell my 3D, then I would have to try to get one at sprint (fat chance). Oh, I would be stuck with a BB gift card, I do not care for BB at all. They failed to acknowledge Christmas and instead acknowledged Eid Al-Adha, a muslim holiday where they sacrifice goats in the streets, go figure. Isnt BB in the USA? Anyway I will take my chance through sprint :)

/end political rant
[HTC EVO 3D] DCLocal:
I'm ready

After reading about the "secret" pre-order yesterday I received the Best Buy email today. So after work I stopped by an pre-ordered at at the same store I pre-ordered my EVO 4G.YAY! :D

Of course the folks at Best Buy Mobile didn't have any information on release date or price but doing a pre-order at Best Buy is really the way to go. Instant rebate and with the gift card you can use it for other stuff if you change your mind.
[HTC EVO 3D] Arsenalfan:
I think I'm gonna go ahead and pre-order my Evo 3D tomorrow. I can't wait !!
[HTC EVO 3D] Electritech:
Stopped in a preordered my pair of Evo 3D's after work tonight (One for me and one for the wife). One advantage of ordering at Best Buy is they offer financing on their card for 6 or 18 months with no interest. If when the phones come in and I don't have or don't want to part with the cash I can just put it on my card and pay it off in the aloted time. Minumum payments do apply of course!

(I am in no way affiliated with BB. Please use any credit wisely and always check terms of any agreement you enter into, especially with the devil :eek:!)
[HTC EVO 3D] Emmexx:
The BB rep said today they will hold it for up to two weeks before putting it back into circulation.
[HTC EVO 3D] Mr.Shroom:
I was the first to pre order at the bust buy by where i live. I recommend pre ordering at BB because it's real simple. You just fill out at short form give them $50 towards a gift card.

I pre order the EVO 4g from them and got a free Bluetooth headset (never used it, but i like free stuff). Was a great experience as far as buying a new phone goes. I also recommend there protection plan. My HDMI port broke and unrooted it brought it in and they sent it in to be fixed(gave me a loner phone), then in about 3 weeks the said they couldn't fix and gave me a new evo no deductible. they let me keep the battery, charger and SD card from both phones.
[HTC EVO 3D] zatos:
Sigh... to pre order or not to pre order. I really want this phone!! But I may be gone for most of June and I would hate to be out of state when it releases. And I don't want to get stuck with a $50 BB card either.

Also, I would not recommend the BB protection plan. I worked for Apple (3rd party outsourced) doing iPhone tech support and would occasionally get calls from people who were going to get it or got it. Many people getting charged for the plan from BB for things that are already included in the hardware warranty. Another example: someone got a replacement from Apple for their iPhone, which has a new serial number. Well, that completely voids your BB plan as they will not take anything with a different serial number. The whole thing is made to make money. There is a reason that their protection plans are one of the most profitable items they sell.
[HTC EVO 3D] mav78249:
Pre-ordered mine yesterday after work. Was the third person at that store. FYI I'm in San Antonio and it was at the RIM Shopping Center. They said it will be a little different this year since it will be automated, I got the EVO 4G from them last year. Supposedly a machine calls and not a person...something like that.
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
I broke down and put my political views aside and went to BB and ore ordered my 3d today :) The Rep seemed surprised that I was pre ordering it. He claimed they will be getting 60 of them and anyone can just walk in and pick one up. I find that a little hard to believe or they wouldn't even be having a pre sale!

sent from my FREE xda app because the one I bought SUCKS!
[HTC EVO 3D] mattfmartin:
Woohoo 3rd in line at my BB in Jacksonville
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
I went to try and pre order one and was told they weren't taking them. He then said they were expecting in them in June and that normally they take pre orders a month in advance... Guess I'll have to try again or go out of my way to get it from a different best buy.

Sent from my EVO
[HTC EVO 3D] Emmexx:
Good for you! The rep I spoke with said he didn't know how many they were getting, but that might have been a bit of a falsehood. Who knows. Either way, we should get one on launch.
[HTC EVO 3D] Emmexx:
That sucks. Might be one of those 'participation may vary' things. Sorry, man.
[HTC EVO 3D] mattfmartin:
Go back and ask for a manager. That guy was probably just some dip**** who didn't know what he was talking about.
[HTC EVO 3D] monkeychef:
I would really like to preorder, but my concern is price. I would probably sell my evo for 200 or more, but I don't think my parents would be happy if I told them I needed to use 300 of my own money for a new phone.:/
[HTC EVO 3D] sdc177:
How old are you? Or was that a joke I missed?
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
The Rep I delt with was aware of the pre order but had to get a manager to complete it. Funny thing is the manager couldn't have been over 20 and the Rep who called the manager for help was in mid 30s. He is also the one that told me about 60 of them coming to the store, lol. Anyway as soon as the manager arrived he went to helping a lady with a screen protector for her ipad. She had no clue if it was a ipad 1 or a 2 lol. OK I know off topic :) just trying to fill the gap in time until my evo 3d arrives!

sent from my FREE xda app because the one I bought SUCKS!
[HTC EVO 3D] Emmexx:
Hehe, aren't we all :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Nsandhu23:
Can't agree more. I'm pre ordering mine tomorrow. Woot woot! Can't wait until June 4-7, whenever the day will be.

From my Gingerbread Hero.
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
Pre-ordered mine yesterday at the Best Buy in Durham, NC. They told me I was the first. Guess there are no XDA'ers around here. lol
[HTC EVO 3D] Reaper333:
Got my pre-ordered yesterday at springfield, va best buy. No issues just went in and they wrote me up. They were fully aware of the pre-order.
[HTC EVO 3D] m4rk0358:
So if I pre-order from BB will they take into account my annual phone upgrade with Sprint Premiere?
[HTC EVO 3D] o0adam0o:
Has anyone pre-ordered that will still be under contract once the phone is released?

My contract is up in Oct so im not sure what kind of discount ill be getting in June.
[HTC EVO 3D] m4rk0358:
That's exactly what I want to know. My contract expires on June 4th. How does that affect a pre-order?
[HTC EVO 3D] lafester:
Well when you pick up the phone they will run it through sprint to see what your upgrade options are. Obviously if you are not due until October there may be a small problem getting an upgrade.

As far as preorders go they take anyone who wants one. its up to you to know what your situation will be when it is released.
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
Exactly. They won't even look at your account when you pre-order. When you go to pikup the phone, they will see your account is eligible for an upgrade and the rest is history!
[HTC EVO 3D] Reaper333:
Not entirely true. I asked the lady at the counter to look up my upgrade date and she went ahead and looked it up and told me it was june 1st. I think maybe if you ask them they can look it up for you.
[HTC EVO 3D] JakedGr8:
Okay so, If I pre-order / buy the phone at Best Buy, what advantage do I really have? Say over a Sprint Store or Radioshack? Because I need some stuff done to the account, ie. some contracts need to be moved around from lines so certain lines can get the upgrades, etc. Can they do that as well? Is best buy better about exchanges (ie. my Hero was defective and I had to exchange it within 30 days). What about that STUPID activation fee? Thanks for everyone's help ahead of time!! :)

~ Jake
[HTC EVO 3D] brnail:
Jake: The only expected advantages lie in the probability that Best Buy will continue to give you the rebate immediately. The Sprint Store likely will make you wait to get a check in the mail. The other potential advantage is the ability to pre-order and be assured of a time during which you can pick up your phone. Is this an advantage over RS? Probably not, but it is generally better than the Sprint Store approach. I have upgraded at Sprint and at BB in the past. Both were fine. I have changed contracts around as well at both. The only problem that I encountered was due to my account being a CL account. Neither location really knew how to handle that so they are about on par with each other.
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
Well of course if you ask them to look up your account they will. lol
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
Yup, he was. I think he was just lazy because I went back in there today and after awhile of trying to figure out the paperwork they got me down for one.
[HTC EVO 3D] Lejjvi:
I want to sign a 2yr contract with sprint and get the Evo 3D with it. Should I go to BB or Sprint? thank
[HTC EVO 3D] OneStepAhead:
Yes, I did. My upgrade isn't until the 23rd of June due to premier changes, it was the first of June prior to the April change. Well see how this plays out but I can tell you no matter what I'll have this phone on the release date even if I'm paying full price. I sure hope it doesn't come to that though!
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
I'm going through BB because you don't have to worry about mailing in the rebate but either way you'll want to pre-order. The original Evo is still occasionally sold out even thought it is almost a year old and I have friends who had to wait months to get one when they first came out.
[HTC EVO 3D] mattfmartin:
My dog just ate my preorder receipt, not the card. Hope I didn't need that?
[HTC EVO 3D] madsquabbles:
i'm still on the sero plan. the guy couldn't tell me if they could upgrade sero plans or not and it seems to be hit or miss according so some posts.

if all fails i'll just grab one online when it releases. hopefully it won't sell out as fast as the evo 3g.
[HTC EVO 3D] demo27vol1:
I think you dont need the receipt since your preorder is named after you so just bring your ID and your gift card, but I would call BB if i were you.
[HTC EVO 3D] Razgriz:
Preordered today after work. The reps had no clue about it, but after a quick Google search by one of the reps and I was first on the list.

protip: If your store is in the cold about it, give them the SKU for it.
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
HTC was not ready for the amount of demand the EVO got. I remember it was sold out for almost 4 months after release. I hope they learned f rom this and ship a bigger batch of Evo 3D's.
[HTC EVO 3D] FishTaco:
Plus the Evo was clearly at the top of the heap at this time last year. This year there is much more competition with other very good phones coming out around the same time: Sensation, S II, Atrix, G2X, Charge. I would think it will be much easier to get the 3D.

This competition is great.
[HTC EVO 3D] lafester:
Yeah it sounds like a PITA to get BB or RS to activate phones on sero-p.

I don't have any patience dealing with these things so I'll just order online or get it from a sprint store. hopefully they keep the instant rebate thing going for this release.
[HTC EVO 3D] mattfmartin:
What is a sero plan?
[HTC EVO 3D] alchemist316:
So I pre ordered but no upgrade till oct does this mean I gotta pay full price or 199 price because I have a contract already??? Will this buy mess up my upgrade? I really just am tired of the unknowns sprint htc bb give run around so I ask xda
[HTC EVO 3D] alero:
Those douches didn't even give me a card, just a receipt.
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
Did you hand them $50, if so you beyyet go back and ask WTF they did with your gift card!

[HTC EVO 3D] AyyRayy:
Put down my 50$ today and got my card! :D
[HTC EVO 3D] modembug:
Got mine preordered, hopefully they give a date soon!
[HTC EVO 3D] mattfmartin:
If you wait till october, it will be $200. If you want it when it comes out, you'll have to pay full price.
[HTC EVO 3D] lafester:
Really?

Regular Sero = $30/mo 500 min including unlimited data and text

--limited to feature phones except old windows mobile smartphones (not wp7).

Sero Premium - $40/mo same except include mobile to mobile and all non 4g smartphones. add $10 for 4g smartphones only.

OR Sero Premium 1250 for 59.99/mo. same deal but 1250 min.

Only way to get one now is to transfer liability from an existing owner. New accounts only,
[HTC EVO 3D] alchemist316:
Ok so if I add another phone to my plan with a two year contract will it be the 200$ they said or full I can add up to 10 on my plan I pay now 129+10for data I have evo and just added lg op S to plan I can add the evo 3d with new contract is that true or am I off here lol im so lost all I want ia this damn phone.with out spending my gf bday gift money :p
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
Yep add a line and get it at the full discounted price. How many lines on your acct already?
[HTC EVO 3D] alchemist316:
Ok more info I talked to sales at sprint they said being I got the lg

Optimous s I can return that within 30 days no cost and put the 3d on my plan as a second phone so ill have the evo and evo 3d for 130 a month. I need two phones for work so cooool
[HTC EVO 3D] alchemist316:
just evo 4g and lg op s i can have up to ten devices they said lol

Also I can return the LG its 30 day give back thank u sprint ..
[HTC EVO 3D] rollrsk8ter:
Best Buy ...the $50 dollars/preorder is refundable

I preordered in Garner NC, 2nd Evo 3D is mine. This is why I preordered at BB, to get it first day. Always remember that the preorder is refundable. So if the upgrade/full price is too much for you. You can get your $50 back, if you did not use the gift card.
[HTC EVO 3D] N.Miller:
I've never pre-ordered from anywhere before. I just have a few questions. If you pre-order through bb, what info do they ask for? Are you charged right then or when the phone is released? Do you get the phone before it's released? Any answers would be helpful, thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] alchemist316:
You will get it when bb does also they ask you to fill a sheet out email name and current address as well as phone number they hand a gift card after you hand over 50$ lol and tell you no info at all to when it comes out. Make sure you keep receipt and card they will email about when phone drops or maybe call.

Also depending on if you are existing on sprint or not the day you go there if u have an upgrade you can do that or as new customer you get rebates and you have the 50$ card price is 200$ I think for new people..

In my case.I added a line to my service.to get.this I have no upgrade so now I will have the lg op S evo 4g And evo 3d but returning.the LG
[HTC EVO 3D] JakedGr8:
A thought: If something needs to be done with the phone, and I bought it at best buy, can I go into a Sprint store and will they be able to service it?

~ Jake
[HTC EVO 3D] rollrsk8ter:
Yes, Last year...I bought two Evo's at BB, this was because I could not get them from Sprint, was sold out and none in stock. I used upgrades for both, and both have had USB connector problems. I went to local Sprint store that had service department, in both cases they replaced the phone.

With the no mail-in rebates, they instantly take it off the price, I decided then...I will probably buy all future phones from BB.
[HTC EVO 3D] THEGAMEPLAY94:
I'm gonna buy mines full price so I can get off contract
[HTC EVO 3D] alchemist316:
Ofcourse its a sprint phone if you buy it reguardless from where sprint will support unless its some bs phone knockoff but this is not the case. Id say call htc or sprint but there all bs promotion talk about free phones lol
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
I got $15 worth of best buy rewards promo codes. Can I use this towards my preorder? They expire May 21st. :(
